The catchers walked upstairs, and Yang Huan and the old bustard also walked down from the third floor.

Li Mengzhou and Lin Wanyi followed far behind.

The cultivator's head catcher looked at Yang Huan coldly and said, "Are you Yang Huan?"

Yang Huan still had a tough attitude, looked at people with his nostrils, and said mockingly: "Young Master Ben is Yang Huan, what are you, my father is Yang Tang, the richest man in Muyang City, you are just a head catcher, and you dare to be presumptuous in front of me!"

The head catcher completely ignored Yang Huan's words, raised his hand slightly, and those catchers rushed up directly, pressing Yang Huan on the stairs, and his movements were very rough, causing Yang Huan to scream again and again, and scolded constantly.

The old bustard next to him was directly frightened, and he collapsed on the stairs trembling all over.

"The richest man in Muyang City? Hmph, from today onwards, he will no longer be. ”

The head catcher glanced at the old bustard, stretched out his hand slightly to cover his mouth and nose, and said in disgust: "Chun Manlou is closed, and no one can leave here for half a step, otherwise you will have to invite all of you to eat in prison." ”

At this time, a middle-aged man came out of a certain Accord on the second floor, and he bowed his hand to the head catcher very politely, and said: "Zhao Zhutou, what did the Yang family do, why did they work so hard?"

He didn't beat around the bush, but asked straight to the point, because he was desperate to know what happened to the Yang family.

And the head catcher did not hide it, and said casually: "The Yang family despises the emperor's prestige, desecrates the academy, and cooperates with Qingyun Supervisor Lang to commit fraud, although it happened last year, but it is even more serious to expose it at this moment, and since then, maybe there will be no Yang family in Muyang City." ”

The middle-aged man's face turned grim, and he immediately bowed his hand to the head catcher again, and led his subordinates to leave the Chunmanlou quickly.

As a result, the rest of the guests in Chunmanlou also rushed to the outside of the building, they are just consumers, they can't stay here to wade into troubled waters, and they can hide as far as they can.

Although the matter of the Yang family needs to be further investigated, it is basically a certainty that someone from the Heavenly Council will intervene, and the capital will launch an investigation at the same time, and the official conviction will only be in these two days.

Yang Huan was taken away crying, and Chunmanlou was temporarily sealed.

The Spring Building, which was originally very lively, fell silent in the blink of an eye.

People walk tea cool.

Some people from the government stayed outside the Chunman Building to guard to prevent anyone from escaping.

And Li Mengzhou just said a few words to the head catcher, and then took Lin Wanyi out.

Du Changgeng was waiting outside the Chunman Building, and the moment he saw Lin Wanyi, he was silent, but his slightly trembling body was enough to see the unrest in his heart.

They found a nearby teahouse, and Li Mengzhou was still a little curious about the story between Du Changgeng and Lin Wanyi.

There are no people in the teahouse for the time being, and the atmosphere is very quiet.

The tea was fragrant, and Du Changgeng and Lin Wanyi sat opposite each other, speechless.

In the end, Lin Wanyi opened her mouth first, but instead of Du Changgeng, she saluted Li Mengzhou and said, "Thank you Li Gongzi for saving the little girl from the sea of suffering, I can't thank you for saving your life." ”

Li Mengzhou secretly thought, what happened next with these words, wouldn't it be to make a personal promise?

In fact, of course, Li Mengzhou thought too much.

After Lin Wanyi said this, she fell silent again, only occasionally raising her eyes to look at Du Changgeng.

Seeing this, Li Mengzhou hurriedly coughed lightly, stretched out his finger and poked Du Changgeng.

What they didn't notice was that there was a single person sitting alone in the corner of the teahouse, and their eyes were on them all the time.

At this time, Du Changgeng picked up the teacup on the table and drank it bitterly, took a deep breath, calmed down the flustered thoughts in his heart, looked at Lin Wanyi who was sitting opposite, and said softly: "Sorry, I'm late." ”

Lin Wanyi shook her head slightly, her mood at the moment was also very complicated, because of the matter of the Oiran Award, she basically couldn't escape the fate of picking up customers, but the sudden turn of the peak, what happened in Chunmanlou, made her feel a little confused until now, very unreal.

The two of them talked about each other, and there seemed to be some embarrassment between them.

But in this process, Li Mengzhou also understood some things.

Lin Wanyi's life experience was somewhat beyond Li Mengzhou's expectations.

It turns out that the Lin family is not inferior to the Yang family in Muyang City, but the Lin family did not start as a businessman, the ancestor was actually a certain scholar in the period of the first emperor of Jiang Guo's court, and after the Lin scholar returned to his hometown, the Lin family gradually began to do business.

The Lin family is a scholarly family, although Lin University scholars have not studied in the academy, but they are also famous literary masters in the first emperor's period, and they once worshiped the position of Qingyun Supervisor Wine, that is, the person with the highest right to speak in Qingyun Prison, the level is equivalent to Xu Hexian and Jiang Tingyu.

But the Lin scholar did not look down on the businessman, with the development of decades, the Lin family is the real richest man in Muyang City, the Yang family is only a junior, but the latecomer is on top, but the Lin family's business is relatively simple, in addition to the restaurant teahouse, is to open a few study houses, teaching and educating people.

Since the rise of the Yang family, the name of the richest man in Muyang City has fallen to Yang Tang's head.

In terms of wealth, perhaps the Lin family is indeed weaker than the Yang family, but the Lin family has a solid foundation in Muyang City, and it is stable in terms of identity.

And the turning point of the matter has to start with the rebellion of King Yu last year.

Scholar Lin has been dead for many years, and Lin Wanyi is also a great-grandfather.

Somehow, he got involved with King Yu, and provided a lot of money for King Yu's training.

And the self-esteemed king was beheaded in the capital, and the people under his command were also dealt with according to the crime, and the Lin family naturally could not stay out of the matter.

Lin Wanyi is a direct child, but she was not sentenced to death by His Majesty the Emperor, and it was Mu Nan Shilang of the Xuanzheng Division who dealt with the Lin family incident, Muyang City was far away from the capital, and His Majesty the Emperor did not take care of it anymore after giving the order, but Lin Wanyi entered the Chun Man Building.

Even those people of the Lin family who have not been sentenced to death are all missing, this matter is handled by the Xuanzheng Division, and the government decree of Muyang City does not know much, what is the will of His Majesty the Emperor, he is not very clear, and the matter is closed.

Even Lin Wanyi actually doesn't know, but it is a fact that the Lin family assisted King Yu in rebellion, even if he was beheaded by the whole family.

Li Mengzhou also understood, and didn't know what Xuan Zhengsi had done in Muyang City, but Lin Wanyi was innocent, and now that she was able to come out of the Chunman Building, it was not her fate.

Who let her meet Li Mengzhou?

When Du Changgeng and Lin Wanyi gradually got rid of the embarrassing atmosphere and began to be affectionate, Li Mengzhou was idle and finally noticed a trace of abnormality in the teahouse.

He frowned slightly, and soon his eyes came to a corner of the teahouse, where a man was sitting, who was also looking at him at this time, and the moment his eyes met, the other party grinned and chuckled.

Li Mengzhou's expression was sudden, and he said with a look of surprise: "It's you?!"

......

......

Langya City.

Inside the main hall of the Royal Palace.

A thunderous roar rang out.

The palace maids and attendants were silent, their heads lowered, not daring to make the slightest sound, and no one wanted to touch the moldy head of His Majesty the Emperor, who was in a state of rage.

"It's really audacious! A wealthy merchant in Muyang City has such a bold personality, it's simply unreasonable! What did your Heavenly Council do? You only found out the problem now!"

Although the secret agents of the Heavenly Council are everywhere, it is impossible to understand all the things in the world, and no one thought that anyone would dare to make small moves when the academy opened for the examination, and at that time, it coincided with the revelation of King Yu's rebellion, although His Majesty the Emperor did not summon King Yu to enter Beijing, but most of the attention of the secret agents of the Heavenly Council was focused on King Yu, but ignored some things in the capital, which is fundamentally no wonder the Heavenly Council.

But His Majesty the Emperor was furious, and no one dared to refute it, so he could only remain silent and let His Majesty the Emperor vent his emotions.

In fact, His Majesty the Emperor also understands that the academy is open, the palace sword academy is also open, and at the same time, the evidence of King Yu's rebellion was also sent back to the capital by Qingjiu, which can be said to be a season of many things, and all the secret agents of the Heavenly Council were sent out to monitor more important things, and it was difficult to detect what the inconspicuous little characters in the capital were doing secretly.

In response to the investigation of this matter, His Majesty the Emperor handed it over to the Heavenly Council and the Jingzhao Mansion to handle it together, and the Qingyun Prison Langzhong, who was still asleep, was directly pulled out of the bed by the people of the Heavenly Council.

And the people of Jingzhao Mansion also went to Luwang Mansion to arrest the steward surnamed Yang.

The capital, which had been quiet for a long time, boiled again tonight.

As Li Mengzhou imagined, although the offender was a steward of King Lu's Mansion, there was no way to get involved with Qin Chengyi himself, and in the face of this matter, Qin Chengyi was also resolute, and entered the palace overnight to ask His Majesty the Emperor for guilt, and asked him to think about it behind closed doors.

Originally, it had nothing to do with Qin Chengyi, he still had to ask for a closed-door thought because His Majesty was not strict, and others had nothing to say, but they had to praise His Royal Highness Prince Lu.

At that time, Qin Chengyi came out of the palace and returned to Luwangfu in a sedan chair, Song Yidao was waiting by the carriage, and when Qin Chengyi came out of the carriage, he said in a low voice: "Wang Tianxing is waiting for His Highness in the mansion." ”

Qin Chengyi nodded and said, "Call Qi Xiaoran too." ”

in the hall.

Qin Chengyi sat in the first place, Song Yidao sat in the lower right, Qi Xiaoran sat in the lower left, Wang Tianxing stood in the center, he bowed to Qin Chengyi, and said: "A woman went to the Tianxing gambling house to make trouble and took away hundreds of taels of silver, and her subordinates have investigated the identity of the other party, it is Gu Shiyan who lives in Chaosi Lane." ”

Qin Chengyi said: "The relationship between Gu Shiyan and Li Mengzhou seems to be very good. ”

Song Yidao said: "If Li Mengzhou's identity is doubtful, Gu Shiyan, who is very close to him and even lives in the same courtyard, may also have an extraordinary identity. ”

Qin Chengyi looked at Qi Xiaoran who was at the bottom left.

Qi Xiaoran coughed lightly and said: "Your Highness asked me to investigate Gu Shiyan, there have been some signs recently, she is from the Western Jin Dynasty, and she is also a student of the Western Jin Dynasty Dragon Scroll Academy, as for other identities, due to time constraints, I didn't find out, but the first time she appeared in the capital, it happened to be after the assassination of Taijing, it is impossible that there is no connection here." ”

"Xu Hexian once suspected that Taijing was killed by Li Mengzhou, but I think that it may have been Gu Shiyan who killed Taijing, not Li Mengzhou. As for whether Li Mengzhou knows or not, it is actually not very important, after all, they all live under one roof. If it's not a mutual agreement, it's a common goal. ”

Qin Chengyi frowned, was silent for a long time, and said, "I need you to go to the Western Jin Dynasty and investigate Gu Shiyan clearly, in addition to the identity of a student of Dragon Roll Academy, she must have other identities." ”

Qi Xiaoran had already been suffocated, but when he heard this, he didn't refuse, and happily agreed.

Song Yidao said at this time: "The Dragon Roll Academy is a branch of the Pear Flower Academy in the Western Jin Dynasty, but in addition to the Sword Pavilion, the power of the Dragon Roll Academy is also extremely huge in the Western Jin Dynasty. ”

"All academies in the world are one, but whenever Gu Shiyan asks for help from Pear Blossom Academy, we will be restrained everywhere, but fortunately, we are still on the dark side and have not had any friction with Gu Shiyan. ”

Qin Chengyi silently took a sip of tea, looked at Wang Tianxing and said: "It's just a few hundred taels of silver, since she wants it, give it to her, don't have anything to do with her in the near future, even if she continues to appear in the Tianxing Gambling House, you have the right to do whatever she wants." ”

Wang Tianxing, as the owner of the Tianxing Gambling House and the leader of the Tianxing, is responsible for helping His Royal Highness King Lu make money in the dark, and he himself is also a mountain monk who has crossed the threshold of the Four Realms, and when he heard Qin Chengyi's words at this moment, he said a little unwillingly: "Although a few hundred taels of silver is only half a month's sale, if you come a few more times, the Tianxing Gambling House will not be able to bear it, and you can't really watch her take money from the gambling house, right?"

Qin Chengyi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Wang Tianxing quietly, and didn't say a word, but Wang Tianxing broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately didn't dare to say more, bowed down and retreated, and hurriedly stepped out of the hall.

Qi Xiaoran raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "It's also strange to say, why did Gu Shiyan choose Tianxing Casino?"

Song Yidao said: "If it's not a coincidence, it's deliberate, but I'm more inclined to the latter, because if Taijing was really killed by Gu Shiyan, and she has a close relationship with Li Mengzhou, the target she is targeting is obvious." ”

Qi Xiaoran shook his head and said, "But no one in the capital knows the relationship between the Tianxing Gambling House and His Highness. ”

Song Yidao was silent.

Qin Chengyi turned his fingers around the teacup, and said with a smile: "Gu Shiyan doesn't necessarily know the relationship between Tianxing Gambling House and me, even if it is deliberate, it is also deliberately aimed at Tianxing Gambling House, don't forget about Yue Shiting, that list has not been found so far." ”

Qi Xiaoran and Song Yidao glanced at each other, and they were both silent.

Obviously, they all thought of the key points.
