"Oh, what do you mean?"

General Su knew that Kechu had been sent to Dongyi, what did this matter have to do with him?

"Uncle Su, you don't know this person Ke Chu, he is insidious and cunning, and he will never stop until he reaches his goal, I think he must be hiding somewhere in Shangjing. ”

Ling Chuyu had long heard of Ke Chu's viciousness, and from the time she knew that he was Ke Chu, she knew that Dongyi must be planning a big thing.

Now it seems that everything is for the salt mine map.

"General Su, what Chu Yu said is right, I also suspect that he is still in the capital, you have already sent someone to investigate, I believe it will not be long before there will be news." ”

Li Xiujing sent people to monitor those Dongyi people, and he would know what they were doing.

It was not the Dongyi people in Shangjing who fought fiercely with them in the suburbs, which means that there were still Dongyi people who did not know their whereabouts.

He also checked the details of Kechu and believed that he was not a person who gave up easily.

It is very likely that he is behind the scenes.

That's why he called Seventeen to check.

"According to your meaning, all this was done by Kechu?"

General Su believed their inferences.

"I think the Dongyi people lurked in Shangjing before, probably just to get the salt mine map, maybe Kang Ping knew that the salt mine map was in the Su family, so Na Kechu would come to Shangjing. Ling Chuyu reasoned.

"Yes, I think this is also the reason why they assassinated General Su before. ”

Li Xiujing added.

"Then if that's the case, as long as they get the salt mine map, they will find a way to leave Shangjing and return to Dongyi. “

General Su felt that this was too terrible, and the salt mine map must not be taken away by the Dongyi people.

"I've already sent someone to settle down, and I think I'll soon find out if something happened to the family. “

The An family mentioned by Li Xiujing is General Su's confidant, and it is also Su Jinzhi's maternal grandfather, and the An family is the largest salt merchant in Tianxu Kingdom.

As soon as Li Xiujing returned to the house, he called someone to go to Suzhou.

"So what now?"

What Ling Chuyu meant was that if the Dongyi people had already obtained the salt mine map, would they be ready to leave Shangjing now?

"It's okay, I've already greeted Qin Mang, told him to keep an eye on the city gate, and once he finds a suspicious person, he will be immediately detained. ”

Li Xiujing has always been rigorous in his work, and he has long been prepared for both.

Soon, the people sent to Suzhou by Li Xiujing came back, and he went directly to General Su's mansion to find him.

"Your Highness is not good, the An family suffered a fire a few days ago, and a lot of things were burned, and the old man of the An family was burned by the fire and can no longer speak. “

When a few of them heard this, they probably understood in their hearts that something must have happened to the salt mine map.

"Quick, quickly block the post station of the Dongyi people. ”

General Su was shocked.

"No, we don't have direct evidence now, all this is just an inference, in case there is a difference, the two countries are afraid that there will be a fierce war. ”

Li Xiujing interrupted General Su's words.

General Su thought about it carefully, if this was the case, those Dongyi people had turned into robbers and done these evil things, how could they prove that they had done these things?

"Now, let's find a way to find Kechu and invite him to come to Su Mansion, and when the time comes, we will find a way to ask him to hand over the salt mine map. ”

Li Xiujing told them about his attention.

"Okay, yes, I'll do it now. ”

General Su agreed with his words.

The Su family decided to hold a funeral for their family three days later.

Seventeen also brought good news, that is, Kechu is really still in Beijing.

General Su found someone to send the invitation to Kechu.

When Ke Chu saw the invitation, he was also startled, thinking that this Li Xiujing was really a strong rival, but he didn't expect him to find his hiding place so quickly.

Now that the thing he didn't leave has leaked, he doesn't need to hide anymore.

He directly wrote to the emperor that his injury had recurred, and he had to turn back halfway, and now he lives in the post station to recuperate.

In this way, he can stay in Shangjing to do unfinished business in Shangjing.

On the day of the funeral, Kechu came to mourn in white.

Ke Chu felt strange as soon as he entered the door of the Su family, it is said that the Su family is in mourning, and the dignitaries and nobles in the capital should come to mourn.

But why is this courtyard deserted, there are not many people.

Kechu raised his vigilance.

"General Su mourns. “

Kechu expressed his condolences to General Su.

General Su replied with a trembling bow.

"I'm tired of Prince Kechu. “

"Please incense here. “

The housekeeper of the Su Mansion asked Kechu to go and offer incense to the spirits of the dead.

Kechu looked at him suspiciously.

"It seems that Prince Kechu doesn't know about the funeral of my Tianxu Kingdom, it's okay, I'll teach you. “

Li Xiujing looked at Ke Chu coldly.

Kechu bowed his head slightly in gratitude. They worship the deceased only in their hearts, and they don't need incense. But he has studied Tianxu culture since he was a child, and he is still very clear about the wedding and funeral etiquette of Tianxu Kingdom.

He was only suspicious, suspicious of the purpose of their people who had invited him to come.

Ke Chu followed Li Xiujing to the offering table.

At a glance, he saw Ling Chuyu standing next to him, she was dressed in white, and she looked extremely dignified.

He remembered that Tianxu Guo had a saying called "Women should be pretty and filial", and it seemed that this was a good point.

Li Xiujing handed the lit incense to Ke Chu.

Kechu took it with both hands.

"When offering incense, you should meditate in your heart, hoping that the deceased will ascend to bliss as soon as possible. For those who died in vain, it can be said that you can go on the road with peace of mind, and those who kill you will not live long. ”

Li Xiujing said deliberately.

Kechu gave him a disdainful look and inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the incense burner exploded, and Ke Chu was defenseless, and his eyes were blinded by the incense ash.

"You, is this how you Tianxu treat guests? You Tianxu people are really despicable. ”

Kechu covered his eyes with one hand and pointed at them with the other.

"Hmph, don't talk nonsense, don't think we don't know what you're doing, hand over the salt mine map quickly. ”

Ling Chuyu said angrily.

"What picture, what mine, I don't know what you're talking about?"

Kechu continued to quibble.

"Hmph, you don't know if you don't shoot. Then stay. ”

General Su knew that he would not agree, but he was not in a hurry, thinking that those torture tools in the Criminal Department would definitely tell him to speak, so he was not in a hurry.

"What do you want to do?"

Ke Chu's eyes couldn't see clearly, but he felt that there were suddenly a lot of people around him, and he also guessed that they wanted to arrest him.

Thankfully, he had been prepared for it.

"Haha, I'm afraid that your treacherous plan won't succeed. “

Kechu whistled, and someone came in outside the door.

"Cousin. “

Ling Chuyu saw the person they brought in, yes, he was the lost Mu Nanxian.

Li Xiujing saw that it was Mu Nanxian, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Well, exchange him for me, this deal is a good deal. “

Ke Chu had long known Mu Nanxian's place in their hearts, and presumably they would not die without help.
