Jingzhao Mansion, back hall.

For the sudden arrival of the old man wearing a round-necked wide-sleeved purple robe, embroidered cranes and a goldfish bag at his waist, the three of them were surprised and pressured at the same time, Lu Shengxiang concisely reported the current situation to the old man.

Fu Yin Lu Shengxiang took a deep breath and said to the old man: "Duke Liu, please rest assured, we have locked the approximate location of the thief girl, and the three divisions of the yamen will definitely give the saint a satisfactory explanation."

Liu Xiaohe, the second assistant sitting in the main seat, raised his hand and did not speak, motioning for him to sit down and drink tea, and the back hall fell into a short silence. Liu Xiaohe also picked up a celadon white jade tea cup and sipped tea comfortably.

Half an hour later, Li Wentong took Shang Qing back to the Jingzhao Mansion Mansion in Luoyang Fang, and met Liu Xiaohe and other four chiefs in the back hall.

Shang Qing looked at the giant sand table, and was extremely surprised in his heart, except for the blank area of the palace, the one hundred and eight squares and twenty-four streets of Yujing City were criss-crossed at a glance.

Li Wentong returned the gilded bronze medal of the pawn and bowed to retire. Shang Qing saluted the four of them one by one, and the second assistant Liu Xiaohe put down the teacup, did not make any greetings, and went straight to the point, saying:

"What I'm going to say to the four of you next is the top secret of the imperial court, and when you leave here, remember not to let others know, otherwise there will be no misfortune."

Shang Qing remained silent, and the other three sat upright, their expressions awe-inspiring, and they didn't speak, they knew that the other party didn't need to answer.

Liu Xiaohe took out a scroll from his wide sleeve, spread it out on the desk, revealing a general map of the territory of the Great Qian, and stretched out his hand to point to a certain place in the south:

"In April of the tenth year of Tianfu, Gu Changfeng, the patriarch of the Gu clan of Munan Mansion, conspired against him, and Xu Ji, the right lieutenant of the Wei Qiansi, led the black cavalry to secretly arrest Gu Changfeng in Tianyin Temple of Qingluan Mountain, and the sage punished his three clans, but only escaped Gu Changfeng's thirteen-year-old daughter."

Liu Xiaohe's voice was majestic and hoarse, steady, and as he spoke, he took out a book of folds from his wide sleeves for the four of them to circulate, Guan Yuchan was the first to take it, but he didn't open it to look at it, but handed it directly to Shang Qing.

The handwriting on the fold is very neat, ranging from a full page to a single sentence, listed in chronological order. If you look at it alone, they are all vague and unclear, but as Shang Qing looks back, the more he looks, the more frightened he becomes.

"In September of the fifteenth year, after the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, the director of the Shaofu Weaving and Dyeing Department, He Mi, was beheaded by the sage because of his greed for ink.

Liu Xiaohe paused slightly and continued:

"The sale of officials has always been strictly forbidden by the imperial court, and He Yu should have been killed for committing the crime, but the people behind Li Yuan were willing to take out a hundred taels of gold to buy a weaving and dyeing department."

"Xu Ji keenly perceived that there must be something else in this matter, so he followed Li Yuan's clue to investigate secretly, and later the black horse came to arrest Li Yuan, but before he was tortured, Li Yuan honestly confessed everything, saying that a mysterious woman gave him three hundred taels of silver, let him enter the weaving and dyeing department as an errand, and report what he saw and heard that day after he got off duty, and asked for nothing else."

"However, what the mysterious woman's plan was, Xu Yu didn't know at that time."

Speaking of this, Liu Xiaohe took a sip of tea, then gently tapped the pear wood desk with his finger joints, and continued:

"In the spring of the seventeenth year, the house of the chief steward of the Yujing folk craftsman was stolen, and a picture of the production of the 'Flying Dragon in the Sky' was lost;

Zuo Du Lieutenant Xu Ji accidentally associated these three things together, and later Wei Qiansi tried his best, but he only barely caught a trace of the person behind him. For three years, Xu Ji continued to investigate in secret, and according to the map, he found out that what they were trying to do was to assassinate the saint. ”

"Later, the sage and Qi Shoufu set up a plan to invite the king into the urn, and Qi Shoufu played a game of chess, which could have wiped them out, but he never expected that an accident would have occurred, and as a result, the thief Gu Baimen escaped."

Liu Xiaohe glanced at the expressions of several people, and said solemnly: "Gu Baimen is the concubine who Gu Changfeng fled back then, and as for the body of the other man, it has been taken away by the national teacher. Ladies and gentlemen, this matter is about the face of the saint, and at this moment, it is necessary to arrest Gu Baimen. ”

The faces of the three chief officers led by Guan Yuchan were all awe-inspiring.

Shang Qing also participated in the search last night, the southwest side of Chengtianmen Square is the first to bear the brunt of the Buzheng Fang, the southwest corner of the Fangmen Mingde Gate has Jinwuwei guards all the year round, but last night's Fangmen was closed, and there was no Jinwuwei.

Later, I was horrified to find that a secret door had been added to the door of the workshop at some point, which was almost impossible to do, but Gu Baimen entered the Buzheng Square through this hidden door, and entered the Tongtian Canal from the sandwich wall between the walls, and finally disappeared traces.

Shang Qing organized the language in his mind for a while, and said: "I found a secret door on the Mingde Gate last night, and the captain of the city gate is to blame, and he must have colluded with the thieves, maybe he can start from him first." ”

The pawn slapped the desk with a "snap", and said angrily: "The captain of the city gate has been killed. ”

When Shang Qing heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then his face was as usual, since he could think of this, let alone Wei Qiansi, who was good at catching prey.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you must have seen the explosion of the flower boat last night, such a huge explosion is not simple, Captain Diandu, this is an immortal method?" Shang Qingwen has a model of foundation building.

Of the four people present, he only knew Yin Lu Zhixiang of Jingzhao Mansion and the right commander of the Wei Qiansi, and as for the other two old men, he had never seen them.

Diankui shook his head.

"As far as I know, alchemy has a fryer, perhaps..."Shang Qing continued.

Second assistant Liu Xiaohe's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he immediately raised his palm, resolutely stopping what Shang Qing was about to say next, "Shang boy, don't mention this matter again." There are national teachers in Yujing City, and they don't dare. ”

However, Guan Yuchan glanced at Shang Qing with satisfaction, the son of the tiger and leopard, which is about to be written.

Shang Qing was surprised in his heart, since this line didn't work, he continued to ask: "Is there any room for the thief who assassinated last night?" ”

Liu Xiaohe sighed and said, "There is no one alive. There was an accident in the plan to enter the urn, and she had planned to capture Gu Baimen and force the layout behind her to be asked. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, but now that there are variables, Gu Baimen escaped, and all clues have been broken. ”

Shang Qing was shocked when he heard this, there was still a layout hidden behind Gu Baimen. Immediately, doubts gradually rose, since this matter is so important, why did it fall on his head?

Lu Shengxiang's slightly chubby body leaned forward slightly: "Shang Qing, now that we have roughly locked the location of Gu Baimen, it is very likely that she is still hiding in Taipingfang." Since Master Guan recommended you, I don't doubt you, and Gu Baimen will be arrested within three days, can you do it? ”

Shang Qing asked rhetorically, "Why me?" ”

Dian Kui secretly looked Shang Qing up and down on the side, and saw that there was a monk's unique aura fluctuation on his body, and immediately exclaimed: "Boy, you have entered the Qi refining layer, what layer are you?" ”

Shang Qing was stunned for a moment, stretched out a hand, and slowly opened it.

Guan Yuchan and Dian Kui were both shocked and almost lost their temper.

"Good boy, don't embarrass the Demon Hunter!" Guan Yuchan got up directly and patted him on the shoulder, the smile in his eyes was undisguised.

"You solved the 'Cat Demon Case', right? With his own strength, he killed the cat demon in less than two days, and with such an insight and ability to see the subtleties, I'm afraid no one is more suitable than you. Lu Shengxiang's body suddenly leaned forward again, and he paused intentionally, and then said with a smile:

"Master Guan said that you also got rid of a tiger demon that condensed the demon pill the day before yesterday, which shows that you are brave and wise. If you can do this errand, I will be cheeky to protect a matchmaker, the little girl is sixteen years old, still waiting to be in the boudoir, knowledgeable and courteous, and good looking. ”

Guan Yuchan and Dian Kui instantly understood his intentions, and scolded secretly, feeling disdainful, but at the same time in each other's minds, they were thinking about whether there was a suitable candidate in the family.

For this, Shang Qing did not show surprise, there was Jiang Qilin, the magistrate of Wannian County, and now there is a girl recommended by Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
