Chu Yu originally thought that he would have to wait for a while, and after the king's anger was gone, he could enter the palace to negotiate with the king about this matter, but he didn't want to, and within two days, the king sent someone to summon him into the palace, and it was also to discuss the matter of the bandits.

Chu Yu was overjoyed, and he didn't dare to show it too obviously in the palace, and he was careful to speak everywhere, for fear that the king would notice something.

But fortunately, the king didn't ask anything, and directly handed over the task of exterminating the bandits to him.

"Thank you, Brother Wang!" Chu Yu forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and made a big gift.

Seeing this, Wang Shang smiled and said, "Chu Yu, this time Lone was under a lot of pressure and doubts before handing over this matter to you, you must not let Lone down." ”

"Brother Wang, rest assured, the younger brother will do his best to exterminate all the thieves in one fell swoop! Live up to Brother Wang's trust! At this stall, Chu Yu was in a good mood and was extremely excited, so naturally what the other party said, he echoed the other party.

"Okay, then you go back and prepare first, if there is anything you need help with, just come to find Gu or Li Lin."

Chu Yu bowed and saluted, "Brother Retire." ”

After walking out of the Wenfeng Palace, Chu Yu could no longer hide his excitement, his steps were brisk, humming an unknown song in his mouth, his face was full of spring breeze, and he was extremely proud.

And not long after Chu Yu left, another person walked out of the Wenfeng Palace, he had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his instrument was lofty, and he walked with the wind, this man had a saber hanging from his waist, his face was full of seriousness, and there were guards to salute him everywhere he went.

This person is the king's companion, the commander of the guards of the palace today - Li Lin.

He was following behind Chu Yu, the distance that the other party could see as soon as he turned around, if it was in the past, Chu Yu's suspicious nature would have turned back a long time ago, but today it was because he was too excited and happy, Chu Yu walked fast, even if he noticed someone behind him, he didn't look back.

Li Lin followed Chu Yu all the way out of the palace, changed his clothes in the carriage at the gate of the palace, put on a wide hat, and prepared to follow the other party back to his prince's mansion.

But unexpectedly, Chu Yu's carriage did not return to the house, and then turned awkwardly several times, and the people in the carriage watched vigilantly before driving the carriage into a dark and cramped alley, and stopped at the door of a certain family that looked extremely ordinary.

Li Lin, who was hiding behind the alley, frowned, and while observing the movement of the alley, he took a step back and looked at the nameplate posted at the mouth of the alley - Zhangjia Lane.

Why does the name sound so familiar?

Li Lin furrowed his brows, and was recalling his memory of the name of this alley, when the sudden sound of the door opening in the alley not far away interrupted his thoughts, he held his breath and hurriedly leaned in to look inside.

I saw Chu Yu standing in front of the wooden door, talking to a man dressed as an ordinary person, judging from the position, Chu Yu should occupy the dominant position, and when Chu Yu spoke, the other party couldn't stop nodding and saluting, and seemed to be very jealous of Chu Yu.

It seems that this person is an ordinary person, even if Chu Yu's behavior is a little abnormal, but he can't be judged in turn that he has dealings with the bandits?

Just thinking about it, Chu Yu in the alley ended the conversation with the people dressed as ordinary people, Chu Yu got into the carriage, and the person also went back to the house after watching Chu Yu leave.

What's going on?

Li Lin scratched his head, and after struggling for a while, he decided to follow Chu Yu to take a look first, after all, this was the king's order.

"Squeak-"

Before Li Lin left, the wooden door of a house in the alley opened, Li Lin glanced at it casually, but found that the person who had talked to Chu Yu before had come out again, he looked around with great vigilance, and then walked in the direction of Li Lin!

Li Lin was shocked, and hurriedly used light skills to hide in a high place.

The man walked in a hurry, and the steps under his feet were light and fast, and at a glance, he knew that this person had practiced martial arts, and his martial arts were definitely not low!

Li Lindeng, who originally wanted to follow Chu Yu, changed his mind, he saw that the person came out of the alley and rushed all the way to the direction of the city gate, he faintly had a bold idea in his heart, but he didn't have time to think, so he could only follow first to see who the other party was.

Although the other party's martial arts are high, Li Lin is not a vegetarian, he followed the man all the way out of the city, and made several detours, and finally saw the other party stop.

Look up, isn't this Liquan Mountain!

It seems that the king's suspicion is not unreasonable, this Chu Yu really has a relationship with the bandits on Liquan Mountain!

There are many bandits on Liquan Mountain, and they are full of vigilance, and the entire stockade is full of guards, even if Li Lin's martial arts are strong, but at this time, he can only watch that person enter the village, and he has nothing to do.

Seeing that the time was not early, Li Lin glanced at the village again, and then unwillingly went down the mountain and returned to the palace to resume his life.

When he returned to the Wenfeng Hall exhausted, Lu Li was discussing things with Wang Shang, and seeing that Li Lin was back, Wang Shang hurriedly walked down the steps and asked anxiously: "What can you find, does he have anything to do with the bandits?" ”

"If you go back to the king, the minister will find out." Li Lin took a deep breath and told the king everything he had seen.

Then, he took the tea brought by Fluffy, raised his head and drank it all, finally feeling a little better.

"According to what you say, he contacted the bandits, but in fact, he would not go out of the city to Liquan Mountain in person at all?" Wang Shang frowned and asked.

Li Lin shook his head and replied truthfully: "This minister is not clear, after all, the minister only saw this time, as for how they contacted before, the minister does not know." ”

Hearing this, the king nodded, frowned and did not speak.

Lu Li on the side saw it and said softly: "If things are really as Master Li said, then it is basically certain that this prince should have been in contact with the bandit for a long time, otherwise he doesn't know which alley the thief lives in, right?" ”

Speaking of this, Lu Li suddenly heard something, he looked sideways at Li Lin, and asked, "Lord Li, dare to ask if you saw the name of that alley?" Or do you remember the direction of that alley? ”

"I remember the name clearly, because I think I've heard it somewhere, so—yes!"

As he spoke, Li Lin slapped his thigh and said loudly, "I remembered!" ”

"What?" Wang Shang and Lu Li asked in unison.

"That gang of bandits robbed Huali's caravan and kidnapped Shizi, right?" Li Lin stared at Lu Li and said very excitedly: "That alley is the alley that was traded before!" ”

As early as when the thieves sent a kidnapping letter threatening, Li Lin had read that letter, otherwise he would not have felt that the name of that alley was so familiar!

Hearing this, Lu Li of the king glanced at each other, then frowned, and said: "In this way, the previous kidnapping of the bandits is inseparable from Chu Yu. ”

Over the years, Chu Yu'an has been very divided, and he has always been honest in front of him, so much so that he didn't even find that Chu Yu had such thoughts, and he was so bold that he colluded with the thieves and wanted to murder Xiaoman's family!

Thinking about it again, the destruction of the vegetables in the greenhouse was also facilitated by Chu Yu's jumping up to the bandits.

Now that I think back on this pile and piece by piece, what kind of thoughts Chu Yu has in mind is obvious!

Wang Shang's face was pale, and he sat down on the soft collapse with a gloomy face, lowered his eyes, stared at the coffee table on the desk that was still exuding heat, and did not speak for a long time.

The king was silent, and his face was still so ugly, Lu Li and Li Lin glanced at each other, and couldn't help but calm down when the words came to their mouths.

I don't know how long it was silent like this, and the king, who was sitting on the high seat, sighed suddenly.

He said: "Li Lin, you go to guard the guards first, you must ensure the safety of everyone in the county lord's mansion, and you must not let Chu Yu take advantage of the loophole!" Also, don't let Chu Yu find out about your existence. ”

"Lu Li, you should also go back to the suburbs first, you don't have to worry about things in the city, Lone will definitely ensure the safety of your wife and children."

"The minister retired."

"Then I'll go first."

The two of them left the Wenfeng Hall with their front feet and back feet, and Lu Li, who left behind, trotted a few steps to catch up with Li Lin and said, "The matter of the county lord's mansion is entrusted to you, and I have to work hard for you during this time." ”

In order to reduce the defense of the bandits and Chu Yu, Lu Li could only return to the suburbs first, he could not be in the county lord's mansion at this most critical moment, so he naturally had to ask Li Lin a lot, so that the other party could be more dedicated.

"Don't worry, it's not just about the lord of the county, it's also about the status of the king." Li Lin walked forward quickly, and his mouth did not stop, "Since the king ascended the throne, the government and the opposition are eyeing each other, and there are not a few people like Chu Yu, if you don't rectify it well this time, you may not be able to make a big mess in the future." ”

After speaking, Li Lin stopped and turned around, frowned at Lu Li, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, this matter is on me, you can go back to the suburbs quickly." ”

"Okay, then please."

In order not to let outsiders see the clues, Lu Li and Li Lin specially left the palace one after the other, Li Lin went directly back to his mansion, and Lu Li went back to the suburbs.

After returning to the mansion, Li Lin returned to the study and planned for a while, and then called Lord Zhang and asked the other party for the detailed planning drawings of the county lord's mansion, so as to determine where to increase the guards and where to hide his people.

Zhang Shangqi is also an old minister, and when he saw Li Lin's troubled planning, he couldn't help but pause and asked, "Lord Li, is there something going on in this county lord's mansion?" ”

"It's fine." Li Lin said without raising his head.

Seeing this, Zhang Shangqi was even more curious, "Lord Li, the drawings of this county lord's mansion—"

Li Lin raised his head, frowned and looked at Zhang Shangqi, a little helpless, "I said Master Zhang, this matter really has nothing to do with you, don't worry about it, the more you know, the more you know, the worse it is." ”

Zhang Shangqi wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Li Linyang's hand.

Li Lin looked at the other party, sighed suddenly, and said, "Master Zhang, you have been an official in the court for more than ten years, right?" ”
