The dew and frost are heavy, the fishing boats are singing late, and the lights have been extinguished.

From time to time, a few high-pitched and hideous screams could be heard from the depths of the alley, which frightened the babies in the room.

A slender hand twisted a black object from the eaves, and the black object was lifted up, revealing two round eyes in the darkness, glowing with a faint cautious and hostile light.

"Meow...... Meow ......"

The wildcat's four paws are powerless to climb in the air.

To no avail......

simply gave up the struggle, and instead rubbed the joy on the calloused hand.

"Shhhhhh

The owner of the hand made a gesture, and a teasing smile appeared on his face, "Little beast, it's quite good to see the wind and rudder, don't call, the little babies within a radius of ten miles will be made to cry by you in a while."

The wildcat shut, knowingly.

Thanks to its intellect, the wildcat was free, tiptoed into the depths of the alley, wagging its tail and disappearing into the darkness.

The crying baby in the cradle looked out the window with a smiling grimace hanging upside down, and suddenly stopped crying.

The nurse in the next room rushed to hear the sound and rushed to see the baby sitting in the cradle "giggling" and laughing, so lively and cute. Only then did he put his mind at ease and re-covered the baby with the quilt. When he turned to leave, he suddenly saw the handmade rattle in the cradle, shook his head, and wondered......

She couldn't remember when she had bought it for her child, and she remembered that she had closed the window of the house before dark, and how could the windowsill be open for no reason?

The night wind isn't too strong.

At this time, a black and vigorous black shadow swept under the cold hook-like solitary moon...... Soon disappeared between the eaves and Langfang of ten thousand houses, and flashed into the guest room on the second floor of an inn.

The owner of the guest room was reading a book under the candlelight, his posture was idle, he clearly heard the movement outside, but his expression was not the slightest defense.

The visitor knelt down on one knee and saluted, respectfully, no longer the hippie smile he had before.

"The last will see your lord!"

"Your Excellency, you're here."

The visitor raised his eyes and looked up and down at the man reading under the lamp, and his worried expression eased slightly.

"There has been no news of adults before, and my subordinates are in a hurry, but what variables happened on the way to adults? Why is it more than half a month later than the date of the previous plan?"

The owner of the room closed the book and put it down.

"Yi Lin, please get up."

His gaze looked unhurriedly at the man in black.

"There were indeed some accidents along the way," he said.

Seeing the man in black looking worried, he said again, "But don't worry, the matter has been resolved. You have come here for half a month, what clues can you find out about Tan Gu's collusion with the Japanese Invaders?"

The person who spoke was Liu Xuanhe, who was under the pseudonym Gu Shoubai in plainclothes to investigate Tan Gu's case, but in fact, as soon as they entered the Yangzhou territory, they were already targeted by Tan Gu's people, but there were very few local officials who were fortunate enough to see this minister who was in charge of the court.

Tan Gu treated the officials sent by the imperial court to investigate him as polite and courteous, showing enthusiasm and positivity, and there was no one who did not cooperate with the investigation, and he was a good minister and a clean official.

So much so that Yi Lin and others arrived in Yangzhou for more than half a month, but there was no progress in the case.

The cunning old fox had already cleaned up her fox tail and hid it.

It's just that he has always been uneasy in his heart, because Liu Xuanhe, the big man who visited the visit, has been claiming that he is sick, and he has not seen this Dali temple secretary so far.

In addition, there was another thing that made him unable to feel at ease, since he received the news that His Royal Highness the Third Prince would send someone to investigate him in the capital, he had never received any other news from Beijing, and he couldn't hear the slightest rumor about the current situation in the imperial court.

Liu Xuanhe couldn't get sick, he had long suspected that this person must no longer be in the mission, and the news that Liu Xuanhe appeared in Yuzhou City half a month ago confirmed his conjecture.

Therefore, he secretly sent additional people to inquire about Liu Xuanhe's whereabouts, and prepared to take advantage of the recent rebellion of water bandits and robbers to take the opportunity to solve him.

After getting off the boat and separating from Zhao Bingyu, Liu Xuanhe

He realized that he had been targeted, but he was not a vegetarian, so he threw off his eyes and sneaked into Yangzhou City, and unknowingly connected with his subordinates.

His time is very short, Tan Gu's power is far greater than he predicted, presumably Gu Shoubai's identity will not be exposed soon. Z.br>

Time was of the essence, and before he could do so, he had to use this convenient identity to obtain more information.

Yi Lin didn't get up, lowered his head when he heard this, and said ashamedly: "My subordinates are incompetent, and in the past half a month, I haven't found any evidence and clues that Tan Gu has privately opened the sea ban, colluded with the enemy, and slaughtered Chenjia Village."

As early as Liu Xuanhe expected.

"It's okay, you get up first."

"Master Xie." Yi Lin stood up and described in detail the movements of Tan Gu and what happened in Yangzhou City in the past half a month.

The fact that local businessmen bribed Tan Gu for personal wealth was also a factor in the slow progress of the case, and it was too late for them to defend Tan Gu, so how could they cut off their own financial routes, and even more so recklessly cost the lives of their clan.

Liu Xuanhe walked to the window, Yangzhou City was peaceful and quiet under the night sky, which was completely different from the scene he saw before entering the city.

How could the ambitious pirates only have the ambition of making some small fortunes along the coast!

"Chen Jiacun, have you already investigated? Isn't there any clue about it?"

Speaking of this, Yi Lin clenched his fists excitedly, and the green tendons on the back of his hands loomed. If he hadn't dared to lose his temper in front of Liu Xuanhe, he would have vented his anger with a hammer to the window railing.

"My lord, I went to investigate Chenjia Village on the second day after I arrived in Yangzhou, Chenjia Village has been abandoned, panicked and uninhabited, it is indeed a method of overseas Japanese gangsters, but what is outrageous is that Tan Gu faked compassion and was a good person, and buried all the villagers of Chenjia Village out of his own pocket, and repaired the Chen family ancestral hall to remember, which attracted the praise of many people in Yangzhou City."

"What a ......!" Yi Lin exhaled angrily, "It's really shameless! Abominable one."

Liu Xuanhe patted his shaky shoulder twice to show comfort, "The wicked will be rewarded in the end! He cannot be without a trace, and the fox's tail cannot be hidden forever. You go back to deal with him first, keep an eye on his movements, and then I'll go to Chenjia Village to find out if there are any other clues."

"My lord......" Yi Lin stopped talking.

Liu Xuanhe saw that he was worried about his safety, and said, "Don't worry, I will be careful, you should also be more careful, we will have a tough battle to fight next."

"Subordinates obey."

After the two finished summing up, taking advantage of the heavy night, Yi Lin jumped out of the window and left.

Soon, Liu Xuanhe also changed into convenient clothes and quietly went out of the door, and went to the direction of Chenjia Village alone.

At this time, in the night, a woman took the movements of the two into her eyes and secretly followed Liu Xuanhe.
