Zhao Shanfeng sat behind the desk and looked at the three people in front of him, these three people are his own profiteerings, and they are also his henchmen, right and left hands, and after encountering things, they are also their own advisers, and they rely on these three people very much.

"Tell me, how credible is what Lin Tianyang said just now?" Zhao Shanfeng looked at the three people and asked.

Liu Liqin replied: "I don't know much about this kind of thing, and I don't know much about spells, I don't know if what he said is true, but I think that if he can come back, someone must have helped, if it is really the woman from the Ruyi Palace, he may be rescued." ”

Liu Liqin has been thinking about this problem, although he cares about Lin Tianyang very much, but he can't blindly believe what Lin Tianyang said, he also has his own judgment.

Commander Qian also nodded, and said: "I think the credibility of what he said is still very high, after all, we have also invited people before, and we can't bring his soul back unharmed, this is definitely not something he can do himself, I think the only person who can help him is the woman of the Ruyi Palace, if it is her, then it makes sense; But if I had to say it was someone else, I couldn't think of who it was. ”

Master nodded and said, "I agree with the two of them, this time Lin Tianyang should have been plotted by the black-clothed leader who came that night, he should have plotted against Lin Tianyang in order to avenge his apprentice, but I learned from Master Huihai that if you want to do this kind of spell, you must use something close to the caster, or something from the caster itself, like hair or something." ”

After listening to the master's words, Zhao Shanfeng nodded and said, "My thoughts are the same as yours, since our opinions are unified, then there is nothing to say." ”

After a pause, Zhao Shanfeng looked at his master and asked, "What did you mean by the hair you just said?" Could it be that there is a traitor in our house? ”

"I'm afraid so, sir." The master replied, and then continued: "Some time ago, Lin Tianyang had been recuperating and cultivating in the room, and there was no abnormality; And since yesterday, he came out, and he was recruited this morning, plus Master Huihai's words, I suspect that someone went in when Lin Tianyang left the room and found some of Lin Tianyang's hair or something, and handed it to the man in black before, I secretly investigated, and found that only one person had entered Lin Tianyang's room during that time period and cleaned his room. ”

"Who is it?" Zhao Shanfeng asked.

"It's Cui." The master replied.

"Call him and I'll ask her personally." Zhao Shanfeng said.

"Yes, sir." The master answered, and then went out.

"If there is really a traitor, you must not spare her." Zhao Shanfeng said angrily.

Soon the master came back, followed by a maid, one of the two maids who served Lin Tianyang, whose name was Xiaocui.

"I've seen my lord!" Xiao Cui knelt down and saluted Zhao Shanfeng.

"Xiaocui, let me ask you, yesterday was Lin Gongzi's room that you cleaned, did you take anything out of the room and give it to anyone?" Zhao Shanfeng asked angrily.

Xiao Cui's face turned white when she heard this, and her eyes showed a look of fear, but she said in her mouth: "No, my lord, I just went to clean and didn't take anything." ”

"Really? I'll give you one last chance, and if you don't tell the truth, then don't blame my men for being ruthless. Zhao Shanfeng said angrily.

"My lord, I really haven't, I haven't done it, you can't wronged me." Xiao Cui said loudly.

"Really? You have to tell the truth, otherwise not only you, but your family will be involved. Zhao Shanfeng said.

"No, my lord, I really haven't done it." Xiao Cui hurriedly said.

At this moment, a butler-like figure walked in outside, holding a burden in his hand.

"My lord, this was just found under Xiao Cui's futon." The butler said, and then put the burden on the desk and slowly opened it.

Seeing this burden, Xiao Cui suddenly collapsed, lying on the ground and trembling.

The baggage was opened, and inside were five gold ingots, as well as a silver ticket.

"One hundred taels of gold, one thousand taels of silver, you are really rich." Zhao Shanfeng looked at Xiao Cui and said.

"My lord, I know it's wrong, I'm wrong, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare again, you spare this time, my lord, please, spare me this time... Xiao Cui hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Hearing Xiao Cui's words, everyone showed their anger, it is really difficult to guard against thieves day and night, and I didn't expect that there were traitors in the always strict Shangshu Mansion.

"I ask you, who gave you these things? Tell me all the ins and outs. Zhao Shanfeng asked angrily.

"It was given to me by a middle-aged man." Xiao Cui hurriedly replied, and then continued: "It was given to me by a middle-aged man whom Zhao Qi knew, and that man said that he was Lin Tianyang Lin Gongzi's uncle, and asked me to take care of Lin Gongzi, this is my payment, and at the same time, let me give him Lin Gongzi's hair that I collected after cleaning Lin Gongzi's room." ”

Hearing Xiao Cui's words, Liu Liqin immediately walked out angrily, and soon after, he came back with a young man, and then went out again.

This young man's name is Zhao Qi, and he is a distant relative of Zhao Shanfeng's own family, and he has been coming to Shangshu Mansion for more than two years.

"Zhao Qi, you should know these things, right? Say, who is that man? Zhao Shanfeng looked at Zhao Qi and asked angrily.

Seeing the things in the baggage on the desk, Zhao Qi's face turned white instantly, and he knelt down all of a sudden, and said, "My lord, I know it's wrong, please bypass me for my grandfather's sake... ”

"Say, who is that man?" Zhao Shanfeng asked.

"I didn't know him, I met him in the restaurant, and after chatting with him, I asked me something about Lin Gongzi." Zhao Qi replied.

At this time, Liu Liqin came back again, carrying a burden in his hand.

"My lord, this was found in Zhao Qi's room." Liu Liqin said, and then opened the baggage, which also contained five gold ingots and a thousand taels of silver tickets.

"Eat things inside and outside, damn it, damn it, this time it's Lin Gongzi, if someone gives you more money one day, are you going to kill the old man?" Zhao Shanfeng roared angrily.

In fact, over the years, some of the people who assassinated Zhao Shanfeng were good friends with the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, and they would go to Xiangguo Temple from time to time to seek some peace and blessings from the abbot, otherwise, he would have been killed by the art of Wei Zhen; Every time he went to Xiangguo Temple, the abbot warned him that he must pay attention to the people around him, if someone destroys the peace and blessing he wears, someone will take advantage of the situation and harm his life, so Zhao Shanfeng is very disgusted with spies, and there are people he can trust around him.

But what Zhao Shanfeng didn't expect this time was that the traitor was actually his nephew and an old man who had been working in the mansion for six or seven years, which made Zhao Shanfeng's anger uncontrollable.

Zhao Qi and Xiaocui were frightened when they heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed, and said, "Don't dare, my lord, we don't dare, we won't dare again, please spare us... ”

Zhao Shanfeng knew that what he just said was not casually, these two people could sell Lin Tianyang for these gold and silver, if someone offered a higher price next time, then his life would not be guaranteed, this is not a casual nonsense, this is definitely possible.

"My lord, that person wants to plot against Lin Gongzi, it should be premeditated, he will not use his true face to contact Zhao Qi." The master said.

Everyone nodded, Zhao Shanfeng thought about it, the other party must have been premeditated a long time ago, and he would definitely not leave a horse's feet, but this matter still needs to be asked carefully, and no clues can be missed.

"Zhao Qi, let me ask you, who else is involved in this matter besides the two of you, I can spare you from dying if you say it." Zhao Shanfeng asked.

"No, my lord, there's no one else, just the two of us know." Zhao Qi hurriedly replied, and then shouted loudly: "Uncle and grandpa, just spare me, I know it's wrong, I won't dare to do it in the future, for my grandfather's sake, you can bypass me... ”

"I can't spare you, you have committed a mortal sin, your grandfather is gone, I will have an explanation with your father." Zhao Shanfeng said, then waved his hand and said, "Steward Liu, take them out and dispose of them." ”

"Yes, sir!" Liu Liqin responded, and then walked out with two people.

"My lord, spare my life... The two of them shouted frantically, but they were stunned by Liu Liqin with internal force and carried out.

"My lord, this kind of thing can't be prevented." The master said.

Zhao Shanfeng nodded and said, "Yes, I know, but we still have to pay more attention to it, housekeeper, you should pay more attention to the people in the future, if anyone is bribed again, you must find out and report it in time." ”

"Yes, sir!" The butler answered.

"I'll go tell Lin Gongzi about this matter in person, don't let him chill, after all, this matter is from our own people." Zhao Shanfeng said.

"My lord, let's wait until tomorrow, now that Lin Gongzi is resting, don't disturb him." The master said.

"That's fine, let's talk about it tomorrow." Zhao Shanfeng said.

At breakfast the next day, Zhao Shanfeng called Lin Tianyang to his dining room and asked him to accompany him to dinner, and during the meal, he told Lin Tianyang about Zhao Qi and Xiaocui, and also said the matter of disposing of the two, so that Lin Tianyang would not have any worries.

Lin Tianyang immediately said that he would not take this matter to heart, and asked Zhao Shanfeng not to take it to heart.
