The letter did not mention the names of the sender and the recipient, which was consistent with the agreement, and the letter only mentioned Liu Ruobai and others by pronouns. Judging from the handwriting and penmanship, it is indeed from Liu Ruoyu's hand.

Even so, Mr. Sun did not fully believe the contents of the letter.

Originally, before sending Liu Ruoyu to Aunt Taishou's house, he made an agreement with him that if he gained trust in the house, he would beg Aunt Taishou to bring him by herself, or send someone to a Sun family's fat powder shop in the city to buy him some cinnamon powder.

But so far, it has only been a few days, Liu Ruoyu did not act according to the agreement, and was even sent to the Yang Mansion, except for the first time, he did not even step into the door that was not lost.

At this time, the news was sent, and it was still such an important news, although the process was thorough, but it was difficult not to arouse suspicion.

However, things can also be reversed.

If Liu Ruoyu had other thoughts, or simply served Aunt Taishou, or someone else forged the letter. So for the sake of safety, you should first make the agreed matters thoroughly, and then pass on the news.

At present, except for the mountain bandits who appeared outside the city, Tongcheng has no other important matters, and it is not so urgent that it is so urgent. If someone comes to harm Sun Fu, he really can't think of a reason.

Master Sun is used to making a living that is not visible, and he will think more when he encounters things, but in such a situation, he is in a dilemma.

And the urgent thing in the letter is that the people from Lianzhou want to come to find out who is in Tongcheng and has secret news with Nanchu.

Master Sun thought about it, and finally decided to stand still, and only called someone to inform everyone to act cautiously and be careful.

However, as soon as the informant was sent out, several places happened to come back to report that there was a soldier of the Chu army whose behavior was very suspicious.

Master Sun hurriedly called everyone in for careful questioning, only to know that before dawn, a secret door in the Sun Mansion in the city found a soldier probing outside to probe the brain, and he was still holding a scroll of maps in his hand. I thought it was a guest, but I only thought the time was strange, but I didn't think about anything else.

But the soldier just wandered around, staring at the map in his hand as if to make a comparison. But he didn't mean to go in, and finally left a mark in an inconspicuous place and left.

There are people from the Sun family near the secret gate, who are responsible for keeping an eye on passers-by. At that time, I felt suspicious, so I followed him from a distance, but I didn't expect that after following for a long time, I found that the soldier was heading for another gambling house in the Sun family.

When I arrived near the gambling house, I still wandered outside for a while, and at the same time I was checking the map, and finally left a trace, and then left again.

Although the man was wearing civilian clothes, looking at his body and posture, he was obviously a military man, and he saw the appearance of a cross-knife in his waist and the deerskin boots under his feet, which was indeed the Chu army. The Sun family didn't dare to act rashly.

Everyone followed him for a long time, and this person went to five places successively, and the Sun family's property was everywhere. Everywhere I went, I did the same thing.

What's more, after the dawn of the day, the soldier finally stopped looking elsewhere in the Sun family, but actually entered the post house where the adults from Lianzhou temporarily lived. He waited an hour before leaving.

Master Sun's scalp tingled for a while when he heard this, and this matter happened to coincide with the news that Liu Ruoyu had just sent.

If you only check his gambling houses and other industries, it is nothing more than a loss of some money, and it is a big deal to give up the tail to survive, and it is just a matter of feeling distressed. But what they investigated this time could have cost him his life.

"What did the man do?"

Seeing that Master Sun's face was extremely gloomy today, several of his subordinates did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly presented a few pieces of paper.

There was nothing else on the paper, just five crooked circles.

"What is this?" Master Sun looked ridiculous, so he asked.

The subordinate hurriedly replied: "It was drawn by the soldier, and the little ones couldn't figure it out, so they drew it for the master to see." ”

Master Sun shook the paper, his brows were twisted, and there was already anger in his voice: "Just draw like this?" ”

Master Sun's anger was not a trivial matter to them, and another subordinate hurriedly replied: "Master Mingjian, it's not the little ones who draw it like this, but the soldier who drew it like this." The small ones are compared to each other, and they dare not differ in the slightest in terms of size and appearance. ”

Master Sun listened, but he just looked at him and didn't speak, his expression was still gloomy, and his subordinates were panicked for a while. Several others followed.

"That's true."

"The little one knows that the stakes are high, and he compares them many times."

"Master Mingjian."

Several people talked for a long time, and Master Sun finally stretched out his hand again. The person closest immediately understood, and handed the few pieces of paper that had just fallen on the ground to his master.

Master Sun put the papers on the table separately, pondered carefully for a while, and asked which one was drawn in which place, when and where the person was, where did he stop in the middle, whether he had spoken to others, and so on.

However, everything that should be asked has been asked, and this person is definitely secretly investigating, but the key is not explained clearly, and these crooked circles are even more unclear.

Master Sun couldn't think about it, so he didn't think about it, and asked again, "Where is this person now?" ”

"He came out of the post house, and he didn't go anywhere else, but he went to Nanshi, and asked for an upper room in the Chengyi Inn, so he rested there, saying that he was going to stay for two days."

This is strange, Chengyi Inn is also the property of the Sun family, but it is one of the few that is completely clean.

"What does he rest during the day?"

"The little one didn't know, so I sent a message to the inn, and the shopkeeper let Xiao Er go in and see, and the person didn't move, like, waiting for someone."

When Master Sun heard this, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly slapped his desk and stood up suddenly.

"Oops! The rice grain we bought a few days ago, the first batch to enter was the Chengyi Inn, and they were going to uproot it! ”

After saying a word, Master Sun was already ruthless, and asked again: "Is there anyone following him today?" ”

The subordinate hurriedly said: "We are keeping an eye on this way, and no one is with us in the dark." ”

Master Sun said two words of "yes" in a deep voice, and then pointed to one of his subordinates and said: "We still have an empty courtyard behind the Chengyi Inn, you gather all the people nearby, ambush it, and wait for me to act on orders." ”

The subordinate immediately left after receiving the order, and Master Sun instructed another: "You go and ask the shopkeeper to find someone, pretend to be a messenger, and lead him over, just say that it is inconvenient here, and talk to him in another place." Remember not to say too much. ”

After the important things were arranged, Master Sun instructed and instructed some small matters, and after a short time, he took many strong men all the way to Nanshi.
