Xu Rui and Li Kuang stood on the balcony of the "Kemanpeng" teahouse, staring wide-eyed.

Downstairs is the largest out-of-town market in Changxing City-Babao City, and here is only two alleys separated from the Yamen of Jinyiwei, and the straight-line distance is only seven or eight hundred meters, and Li Kuang will pass by the Yamen every day.

Unexpectedly, Xu Rui followed the clues given by Hong Guangli and searched for Di Ting all the way, but met Li Kuang who also came in disguise here.

Li Kuang was also shocked when he saw Xu Rui, but fortunately, the two had a tacit understanding, so they gathered on top of the teahouse quietly, trying to avoid exposing the horse's feet and startling the snake.

Li Kuang and Xu Rui sat back to back at the two tea tables, looking like they had nothing to do with each other from a distance, but the two of them were very close to each other, and their voices were very clear.

"Didn't you ask me to track down the Dome Pavilion?"

Li Kuang lowered his voice.

Xu Rui frowned: "Then how did you find out here?" ”

Li Kuang said: "This matter is a long story, and the problem of the Dome Pavilion is indeed not small. ”

"What do you mean?"

Xu Rui asked in a deep voice.

Li Kuang said: "This Dome Pavilion is a wine shop, but it is not an ordinary wine shop, although the scale is not large, but there are many people who come and go every day, and only accept regular customers, no wonder even you and I have not heard of it."

What's even more peculiar is that all the guests who enter this restaurant must wear masks, and except for the friends who have made an appointment, the other drinkers do not know the identity of the next seat, or even the appearance. ”

Xu Rui groaned slightly: "The gods are mysterious, and it sounds like a secret place for exchanging information. ”

"It could also be a place where some conspiracy was conspired."

Li Kuang added.

"But who is Hu Miao, if he wants to plot something, why should he find a wine shop like this?"

Xu Rui asked puzzled.

Li Kuang said: "Unless he can't find a better place, or the person he wants to meet has a special identity and can't see the light!" ”

Xu Rui nodded slightly and said: "Indeed, if Hu Miao notices that there are spies around him, it may be really possible to find no other place for secret meetings, as for the special identity of the people in the secret meeting, can it be that the meeting in the wine shop can avoid the problem of identity?" ”

Li Kuang said: "I also think it's strange, so I specifically checked the owner of this wine shop and made an amazing discovery." ”

"Oh?"

Xu Rui was surprised when he heard this: "Who is the owner of that wine shop?" ”

Li Kuang sneered: "On the surface, the owner of that wine shop is a local named Wang Li, but the strange thing is that I checked all the household registrations in Changxing Mansion, but I didn't find such a person. ”

"Fake identity?"

Xu Rui guessed.

Li Kuang shook his head: "I thought so at first, but later I found out that this person is completely fictitious, and the money to maintain this wine shop comes from Wanfeng Money Village." ”

Xu Rui groaned: "If this wine shop is not operating normally, then it will definitely be beyond his means, and someone will naturally have to support him."

It's just that Boss Tan of Wanfeng Qianzhuang is a well-known wealthy businessman in the capital, and he has never had close contact with the court, how can he be the behind-the-scenes boss of this wine shop? ”

Li Kuang said: "Originally, I also guessed that Boss Tan was the behind-the-scenes boss of the wine shop, but when I checked Wanfeng Qianzhuang, I found that Qian Zhuang only released money to the wine store on time according to the requirements of a certain account. ”

Xu Rui suddenly said: "In other words, the owner of that account is the owner of the wine shop, who is he?" ”

Li Kuang said in a deep voice: "Shi Dong, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch in the hall! ”

"What did you say?"

Xu Rui was shocked when he heard this, this father-in-law Shi is Xu Rui's acquaintance, speaking of which, this person can also be regarded as a high-level celebrant of the celebrant and a close confidant of Hu Miao, usually Hu Miao will take him with him wherever he goes.

The question is that Hu Miao wants to have a secret meeting with this person, or discuss something, won't it be more convenient in the palace? Why do you want to do this and run to what kind of wine store?

Unless the palace, or even the entire celebrant is not safe!

"There is an even stranger thing, this Stone died, just the day before Hu Miao's accident, on the one hand, because Hu Miao's death had too much impact, but it made his death bleak and not provocative, and on the other hand, I am afraid that the palace has also blocked news about him."

Just thinking about it, Li Kuang threw another bombshell.

Xu Rui's heart sank and asked, "Who blocked the news in the palace?" ”

Li Kuang shook his head: "I can't find it, but shouldn't I ask that ancestor for this kind of thing?" ”

"Wang Shun ......"

Xu Rui silently recited Wang Shun's name, and quickly denied Li Kuang's statement.

It stands to reason that if you want to block the news in the palace, you can't do it without Wang Shun's nod, but this matter is a clue drawn out by the Qionglong Pavilion, and the Qionglong Pavilion itself is what Wang Shun told him.

I think Wang Shun should have found out that something was wrong, but he himself was greatly constrained, so he asked himself to investigate this clue.

It seems that the previous judgment was right, there was a problem in the inner court, and even Wang Shun sensed the crisis, so he had to use Xu Rui, a foreign aid.

"What other clues do you have on Stone?"

Xu Rui asked.

"Yes!"

Li Kuang said in a deep voice: "According to the people in the palace, Shi Dong was mysterious for more than a month before his death, as if he was investigating something.

After Jinyiwei's visit, my people also found that he was supposed to be on duty in the palace the day before he died, but he asked for leave and did not go, and Hu Miao also left the palace that day, and no one knew where he went. ”

A flash of lightning flashed in Xu Rui's mind, and he exclaimed, "They met in the Dome Pavilion that day!" ”

Li Kuang nodded and said, "Nine times out of ten, this is the case, and before that day, Shi Dong had found someone!" ”

Xu Rui's eyes narrowed slightly: "Don't you tell me that he came to see Di Ting?!" ”

"That's the man!"

Li Kuang sneered and said: "In order to control Changxing City, Jinyiwei put a lot of informants in the market, I have known Di Ting's person for a long time, but I don't know where he is hiding.

I heard that Stone had seen Di Ting before he died, so I ordered someone to dig three feet into the ground to find out this person's den, but I didn't expect him to hide in this downtown area. ”

Xu Rui's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, a hint of deep groan flashed on his face, and he hesitated: "This Di Ting is likely to be an intelligence peddler, and Shi Dong is secretly investigating something."

On that day, it was very likely that Shi Dong got some important information from Di Ting, which made him make significant progress in his investigation, so he immediately took the risk to meet Hu Miao regardless of his duty.

It's just that he didn't expect that this incident would become a talisman for him and Hu Miao, and in the end, the two of them were killed one after another!

It's all, all the clues are all in this time, plus the clues provided by Xiao Jinwu, the two of them are probably investigating the matter of the dark chess master, and the dark chess master is related to the palace nine times out of ten, and even hidden in the palace at all! ”

"That's what I thought too."

Li Kuang nodded and said, "As long as we can know what information Di Ting gave to Shi Stone, we can follow this clue and find out the dark chess master who has been hiding behind the scenes!" ”

Saying that, Li Kuang sighed and said: "It's just that the person who eats this bite is the one who eats this mouthful, and the three holes of the cunning rabbit are a common thing, and I wasted the boss's strength to find out here, and I don't dare to guarantee that I can really catch him."

What's more, this kind of person usually knows the stakes, and would rather die than talk nonsense, even if he can really be caught, he doesn't dare to guarantee that he can pry his mouth open and let him tell us the truth. ”

"Don't worry, maybe I can help!"

When Xu Rui heard this, the corners of his mouth hung a faint arc.

"You?"

Li Kuang was stunned for a moment, turned his head in surprise, and looked at Xu Rui.

Xu Rui grabbed the token given to him by Hong Guangli in his hand, and said confidently: "It's really sleepy and met the pillow, I was worried, I don't know what information to ask Di Ting for is not a pity, do you say it's a coincidence?" ”

As he spoke, Xu Rui's eyes gradually narrowed.
