Not long after the old man Wu came back from the villa, he sat alone in his outer study, his white and fat round face wrinkled, and he absentmindedly dialed the golden abacus in front of him.

"Grandfather." Zhou Huaili stood still at the door, stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on the door.

The little guy at the door hurriedly passed the word: "Master, the grandson and young master are here." ”

Old Man Wu looked up and saw that it was Zhou Huaili coming, so he hurriedly put on a smiling face and beckoned to him, "Come here, Huaili, why are you free today?" Is it just going down? It's dark, are you home? ”

Zhou Huaili walked in with a smile, "I went back, and then I thought about my grandfather, so I came over to take a look." ”

"Hehe, you kid just has a sweet mouth." Old Man Wu smiled and ordered someone to serve tea, pointed to the brocade in front of him and asked Zhou Huaili to sit opposite him.

Zhou Huaili bowed, sat down, and said to Old Man Wu: "Grandfather, in fact, I heard that you left the city today and went to the villa, I was worried about you, so I came to ask." ”

Old Man Wu looked at him with a smile, and said, "You kid is very smart!" ”

Zhou Huaili smiled, "Our family has been taken care of by our ancestors all these years, how can I not care about you?" ”

Old Man Wu laughed twice, waved his hand and said, "It's also your own interest, otherwise no matter how hard I try, it will be in vain." Over the years, I have helped many people, most of whom are muddy and can't support the wall. This time, I hope I didn't look away. ”

Zhou Huaili laughed twice, and then said, "Ancestor, I heard something outside today, I think you must be very happy to know, so I hurriedly came to tell you." ”

"Oh? What's up? "Old Man Wu is actually not very interested. He's lived so long that there's not much to interest him about.

Zhou Huaili's smile gradually faded, he clasped his hands together, hesitated for a long time, and then said in an extraordinarily low voice: "...... I heard that on the night Cousin Juan'er was killed, the person who set the fire to the Minsein was caught. ”

"What?!" Old Man Wu raised his head suddenly, with a look of surprise and joy on his face, "Really?!" Caught? Where did you catch it? Who caught it? Who the hell is it? Dare to come to my Wu Guogong Mansion to set fire to such rampant! ”

Zhou Huaili carefully stared at Old Man Wu's every move. The eyes flashed lightly, like teardrops, looking very sad, and shook his head: "I don't know this." I listened to it, and when I wanted to ask, everyone was gone. ”

Old Man Wu saw him like this. I felt a little comforted in my heart, and sighed: "You are a long-term person, Juan'er has been gone for so long, and you still remember her." ”

Zhou Huaili's voice was very low, "How could I not remember her?" She almost ......"

I'm almost going to marry him.

Old Man Wu nodded, "I knew I wasn't wrong about you." If Juan'er is still alive. can marry you, and you are also a fairy couple. It's no worse than your lobby brother and sister-in-law! ”

Isn't it bad?

As Wu Chanjuan's daughter-in-law, Zhou Huaili marrying her will definitely steal the limelight from Zhou Huaixuan and Sheng Siyan.

“…… The eyes are reappeared, and the saints are out. - Our old Wu family, it took a thousand years to produce such a saint, and it was so silent that it was gone! If I don't catch the murderer, I won't be blind to death! The ruthlessness in Old Man Wu's eyes flashed.

Zhou Huaili knew that Wu Chanjuan's status in Old Man Wu's heart was extraordinary. So although she was an unmarried daughter, she was also buried in the ancestral grave of the Wu family after her death. Enjoy the incense offerings of the Wu family.

At that time, the old man Wu only said a word, and he blocked back the Wu family's objections.

He said: "If any of you can give me another double pupil girl, let alone bury the unmarried girl in the ancestral grave, even the position of Wu Guogong, I can give it up!" ”

The people of the Wu family did not dare to object, and let Wu Chanjuan enter the ancestral tomb of the Wu family.

Zhou Huaili observed Old Man Wu for a long time, and was sure that Old Man Wu had nothing to do with catching the arsonist, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The murderer will definitely be caught." He added, "Ancestor, don't you still have a clue?" Who set the fire? Did anyone see it with their own eyes? ”

Old Man Wu shook his head, "No." The husband and his subordinates on duty that night had been questioned hundreds of times, but no one had ever seen the man who set the fire. ”

Zhou Huaili's face suddenly became serious, "Ancestor, I don't think this matter is over yet, you must be cautious." The murderer's skills are too superb, and it is impossible to prevent them. Grandfather, you need to send more guards around you. As he spoke, without waiting for Old Man Wu to respond, he already said: "Wait for me to go back and pick a few capable sergeants from the army to come over, and be a secret guard for my grandfather, personal protection, what do you think?" ”

Old Man Wu wanted to refuse politely, but after thinking about it, even the guardians seemed to have infiltrated the inner courtyard of his Wu family, and they really needed to be guarded against, so he nodded and said, "That's for you." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. A little thing is what I should do. Zhou Huaili laughed, got up and said, "Then I'll go back, choose a candidate overnight, and I'll send it to you tomorrow." ”

Old Man Wu sent him out with a smile, "Don't worry, you will make it tomorrow, as long as you really have the ability." ”

Zhou Huaili came out of the Wu Guogong Mansion, and he was already convinced that Old Man Wu didn't know anything about this matter, and the third grandmother Wu who tried him was the real insider......

For the next few days, the Wu Guogong Mansion was all peaceful, and nothing happened.

Even Chiyi, who was hiding in the mansion of Wu Guogong, felt that he was thinking wrong?

Could it be that this matter has nothing to do with Ziqi?

But the black oil that burned the Minsein was indeed only found in the west.

If the factor of the fallen people is excluded, then it must be something that can only be obtained by people who have been to the northwest and made deals with people there.

Chiyi knew that ordinary merchants did not know the purpose of this black oil, so ordinary merchants in Bactria did not have the habit of exchanging it for black oil from the fallen people.

Only the Guardians know very well what this black oil is for.

In the admonition book left by Emperor Xia Yun, the founding emperor of Great Xia, to the guardians, there are many unbelievable things.

The daily training of the Guardian is the method from that booklet.

At the same time, there are some strange things in the booklet. One of them is the black oil of the Northwest.

The booklet called the black oil "flowing gold." It is said that if you use it to burn things, it can be burned very thoroughly, which is not comparable to ordinary oil.

Chi Yi had also been to the northwest and had seen the power of this black oil burning, which was indeed extraordinary, and even the fallen people did not dare to touch them.

And the guardians have all been to the northwest because of their shifts, and they all know the power of this black oil.

What's more, in their secret stronghold. He hoarded a batch of black oil.

Later, when Chi Yi went for a routine inspection, he found that there was a shortage of black oil, and he didn't know who took it.

He thought about it, and only thought of the fire in the Mingse Courtyard of the Duke of Wu, which was once reported to the then emperor Xia Qidi by the king of Dali Temple, saying that there was an unknown "black oil" in the fire. It caused the Mingse Courtyard to burn clean, like a white ground.

In other words, the person who set fire to the Minseh Courtyard is likely to be one of the Guardians!

Of course, he wasn't entirely sure that the arsonist was one of the Guardians, because the Guardians had already been breached by outsiders. With fake guardians. Many of the Guardian's unique secrets have been known to outsiders.

Therefore, he did not rule out the possibility of outsiders committing crimes.

……

After Zhou Huaili returned to the General's Mansion, he quickly selected a few sergeants with particularly powerful skills and sent them to the Duke of Wu's Mansion to serve as an escort for Old Man Wu.

Then he personally went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to invite Wang Yixing out for dinner.

"Yixing, we haven't eaten and drunk together for a long time, we must not get drunk today!" Zhou Huaili smiled and said to Wang Yixing.

Wang Yixing did not refuse, and said: "I'm dying of busyness these days. I want to take a break, too. - Let's go, let's eat and drink! ”

Two men with guards and servants. Together we went to Taibai Building, the best restaurant in the capital.

Both of them were high-ranking and powerful military generals in Great Xia, and the shopkeeper of Taibai Building personally led them upstairs and entered the best private room in Taibai Building.

The terrain here is private, the scenery outside the window is good, and no one dares to disturb it, which is the best place for people like them to eat and drink.

Not long after the two of them sat down, the guys who ran the hall brought the best wine and food from Taibai Mansion one after another.

Zhou Huaili poured Wang Yixing several corners of wine, and saw that Wang Yixing's face was red from drinking, so he smiled and ate a fried peanut, and said, "Yixing, what have you been busy with lately?" ”

Wang Yixing looked drunk, squinted at Zhou Huaili, and said, "You...... Why don't you drink? Come on, you've had three drinks before you speak! ”

"Haha, you can let me make a hundred cups! You don't know how much I drink? That's a thousand cups not drunk! Zhou Huaili laughed, took the wine jug himself, filled it with glass after cup, and drank it in one gulp, without ambiguity.

"Good!" Wang Yixing stretched out his thumb, "Only those who have good wine can make friends!" - Huaili, you friend, I'm done! ”

Zhou Huaili smiled, "What other kind words do we two have?" We've come together. How dangerous was the night when the saint seized the palace? Even if our brothers are about to lose, none of them will escape! I knew then that you were a good person! ”

Wang Yixing hiccuped, laughed twice, waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, don't say it, when it comes to what happened at that time, it's really a shame." - In the end, it depends on who will make it happen...... Alas......"

Zhou Huaili's eyes flashed and said, "That's no way, my lobby brother is amazing." If we don't accept it......"

"Suit? Ahh I will never take it in my life! Wang Yixing was even more drunk, turned around and walked to the corner, hugged the copper bowl and vomited.

Zhou Huaili was relieved, and secretly said that the hatred of taking his wife was really unbearable for a man, don't look at Wang Yixing usually pretending to be fine, but in private, there are still a lot of complaints.

"Yixing, I understand your feelings. My cousin and I were about to get married, but she was killed for no reason. Alas, I will never forget her in my life. Zhou Huaili said with emotion, a look of long-term affection.

Wang Yixing hugged the copper bowl and vomited, silently lowered his eyes, covering up the shrewdness and vigilance in his eyes.
