Guangling City, Lujia Courtyard.

Lin Xi brought a rattan chair to sit under the porch, and on the small table next to him were all kinds of snacks sent by Lu Shen, a pot of special new tea before the rain, and a set of books that told chivalrous stories.

She picked up a slice of mirror cake, chewed it slowly and felt the sweetness melt in her mouth, and drank half a cup of warm tea before picking up the top scroll.

The sun on an early summer morning is not too hot, and the breeze is very cool through the court.

She turned the book to the page with the bookmark, looked at the stories of the people in the book comfortably, and couldn't help but smile.

Knowing that she didn't like those subsets of scriptures and histories, she deliberately chose these story books for her to pass the time, and this junior brother was still very careful...... Except for the recklessness of that day.

Thinking of the scene at that time, Lin Xi couldn't laugh or cry again.

Lu Shen has already started his comprehension of the Xuan Sutra, and the next thing is mainly on his own, and Lin Xi can only play a role in organizing and retiring. But this doesn't mean that she can be a shopkeeper, because Lu Shen still needs to learn external techniques, such as body techniques, fist techniques, and knife techniques.

On the first day, when Lin Xi taught Lu Shen the Method, the two would inevitably have physical contact.

I don't know if it was out of nervousness, or the excitement caused by never having this experience, when Lin Xi took Lu Shen to experience the dragonfly, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Xi's waist when he was three feet above the ground.

Naturally, this move is a bit out of line.

Looking at Lu Shen's rather rare embarrassed appearance, and kept apologizing to herself, Lin Xi did not blame, even if she did feel a little embarrassed in her heart, but she always had to maintain her image as a senior sister.

In the latter period, Lu Shen did not come over every day, on the one hand, he needed to meditate alone now, and on the other hand, he also said that he had something to do recently.

Lin Xi has nothing to do, Lu Shen's progress has exceeded her expectations, and it is not a bad thing to relax appropriately.

The breeze came slowly, blowing the pages of the book, Lin Xi suddenly stared, and the next moment the scroll had already returned to the small table, and she appeared near the courtyard wall.

"Miss, it's me, Xi Jun." A deep voice came from outside, as if he knew that his movements could not be concealed from Lin Xi inside.

"Come in." Lin Xi said indifferently, and then turned around and walked away.

A figure climbed over the wall and entered, it was the archer Xi Jun.

After the battle in the valley, Tao Baochun returned to the north with most of the people, and asked Xi Jun and the strong man Ji Shan to lead more than ten good men to hide in Guangling, so as to make a response to Lin Xi.

After he landed steadily, Lin Xi asked, "What's the matter with Brother Xi?" ”

Xi Jun is over thirty years old, and his temperament is calm and heavy, so he said unhurriedly: "Miss, my subordinates saw a person in the city yesterday afternoon, and this person should be the eagle dog of the Prosecutor's Office. ”

Lin Xi said lightly: "This kind of thing is normal. ”

Qi Yan has been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, and it is almost an obvious fact to throw nails into the other party's territory.

If this matter was in the territory of Beiyan, Lin Xi might find an opportunity to kill this kind of eagle dog, but now that she is in Guangling, she does not want to cause trouble.

On the one hand, I am not familiar with my own life, and it will be very troublesome in case I attract the attention of the Nanqi Weaving Division. On the other hand, she repaid her kindness on behalf of her father, how could she implicate the Lu family because of her own pleasure?

Xi Jun bowed his head slightly and said, "My subordinates understand what the eldest lady means." Merely...... At that time, his subordinates followed this person out of caution, and found that he was actually stalking the people of the Lu family's firm. ”

Lin Xi frowned and said, "Are you sure?" ”

Xi Jun said: "Yes." The Lu family's business name is very easy to identify, and the subordinates have fought with that person in the Northland, so it can be confirmed that he is the eagle dog of the Prosecutor's Office. ”

Lin Xi was silent for a moment and then said, "I'll handle this matter, don't interfere anymore." Now that the war on the border is fierce, it is difficult to keep out of the chaos even if Guangling is in the rear, so restrain the brothers and do not move around at will. ”

Xi Jun was ordered to retreat, while Lin Xi stood in place with his hands in his hands, staring at the green vitality in the corner of the wall.

Recently, Lu Shen said that he had something to do, could it be related to this matter?

She walked slowly to the front hall, summoned a servant woman, and ordered her to invite Lu Shen to meet here.

……

In that tavern not very far from Lu's house, Lu Shen met Li Jin again after many days.

Recently, the two of them have been very busy, Li Jin himself is in charge of a lot of things in the Guangling Yamen, and now with the all-round investigation of the Gu family, he can only sleep for less than two hours almost every night.

Lu Shen had to set aside a fixed time to comprehend the Xuan Sutra, and in addition, he had to review the first part of the body method taught to him by Lin Xi, and in addition, he plunged into the case library of the Weaving Division, facing the vast number of old files to find the information he needed.

"I'll start with that." Li Jin's eyes were bloodshot, and he said neatly.

Lu Shen poured him half a glass of wine, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Li Jin said with a solemn expression: "Let's talk about the most important thing first, the Gu family is indeed weird. I sent my most powerful man to keep an eye on Gu Zhai, and I had already found twice that a stranger had mysteriously sneaked in. As for the Gu family's father and son, Gu Zisi and Gu Junye are both people with a strict tone and a steady temperament, and no abnormalities have been found yet, but Gu Junhui has complained to people that his house is not random and anyone can enter. ”

Lu Shen couldn't help but secretly sigh that the people in the warp weaving department were indeed professional, Li Chengen and the nursing home were all good hands, but there was an obvious gap in this kind of thing, otherwise he would not be recognized, and he used Gu Junye's long follower to play a suspicious array.

He pressed the emotion in his heart, and said: "The subtext of Gu Junhui's sentence is that the Gu family has indeed entered irrelevant people, but he doesn't know the identity of the other party. ”

"That's right." Li Jin rubbed his eye sockets, and changed his words: "Gu Zisi's young sister married Qu Shilang of the Ministry of Industry is a matchmaker named Wu Xiaosheng. As for how the Gu family climbed Wu Xiaosheng's door, it is still unclear, and they can't escape methods such as opening the way with gold and silver. After all, compared to the squire, it is easier to knock down a Langzhong with silver. ”

Although he was tired, the excitement in his eyes was also obvious.

At first, he obeyed Lu Shenyan, but because of Su Yunqing's explanation before leaving, he didn't expect to find abnormalities from the Gu family.

Gu Lu's two families, as the top two firms in Guangling, and have business dealings with the north, have always been watching under the nose of the warp weaving department.

However, when he sent his elite to keep an eye on the Gu family, he did make an unexpected discovery, which undoubtedly surprised him.

Lu Shen thought for a while and said, "Brother Li, have you ever asked Shi Chenyi, the former head of the Assassin Mansion?" Maybe Gu Zisi found Wu Xiaosheng through his relationship. ”

Li Jin shook his head and said, "I asked, he didn't do this." ”

"Then this matter can only be put aside for the time being." Lu Shen made a rational judgment, after all, Wu Xiaosheng was a Beijing official, and judging by the situation, he was a close confidant of the Ministry of Works, this was not a person who could inquire at will from the Guangling Yamen of the Warp Weaving Division.

"Brother Lu has something to gain here?" Li Jin deliberately skipped that topic.

Lu Shen thought about it for a while, and first briefly explained the reason why he suspected the Gu family, that is, because he suspected that his illness was related to the Gu family, he asked people to secretly stalk at Gu Junye, but he was discovered by the other party and teased him in turn.

Of course, he hid some of the key places, such as the strange poison of soul locking incense.

Li Jin was obviously very familiar with this kind of thing, and immediately praised: "Your judgment is very accurate. When you ask people to keep an eye on Gu Junye, it should be discovered by the other party very quickly, and then they deliberately disrupt your line of sight with that long follower, so that your manpower wastes time on him, and in the end nothing is found. ”

At the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart, Master Su really had an accurate vision, and he saw early that this young master of the Lu family was not a thing in the pool, and he used his own merits to exchange him for an official position - this matter was only known to Su Yunqing and him, and even Lu Shen was kept in the dark.

Xiang Lu sighed over there: "Actually, I wasn't very sure before, in the past two days, the news came back from the nursing home that the chief followed him to wander around the city every day after going to Taixing Mansion. If you really think that he has Gu Junye's secret hidden in him, I am afraid that he will be played with by the other party. ”

"But their tricks didn't deceive Brother Lu." Li Jin smiled heartily and asked again, "Have you found any clues from the Gu family's files in the past few days?" ”

Lu Shen bowed his head and said, "Yes." Through an overview of the Gu family's business situation in the past 20 years, I found that the time when they really rose was fourteen years ago, that is, on the eve of the frequent southward movement of the three northern kingdoms and the imminent attack on Heluo. After the Yuanjia Change, because the north and the south had been fighting, and Huaizhou was the main battlefield, most of the businesses were seriously affected, but the Gu family not only did not lose, but moved forward step by step extremely steadily. ”

"If Gu Jiazhen and pseudo-Yan Xizuo are hooked up......"

Li Jin's voice was a little excited.

Seeing this, Lu Shen had to remind: "Brother Li, it's all just our speculation now, including your people discovering the strangeness of the Gu Mansion, these can't be used as evidence." If you attack directly, can Master Su withstand Qu Shilang's anger? ”

Li Jindeng calmed down, shook his head and said: "Qu Shilang is still easy to do, the problem is that this Shilang's teacher is the left minister." ”

Lu Shen asked curiously: "Dare to ask Brother Li, who is bigger between the left and right phases?" ”

Li Jindao: "The rules of each dynasty are different, and I have more authority on the left. You're right, you can't be in a hurry in this matter, I let people step up their scrutiny of the Gu family, and I also have to ask Brother Lu to continue to take the time to find the flaws in the Gu family. ”

Lu Shen smiled and said, "Brother Li, don't worry, I will do my best." ”

The two of them discussed for another half an hour, and then left the place one after another.

Lu Shen walked in the early summer sunset, thinking back to today's conversation, he vaguely felt that something was not right.

If the Gu family is only related to Beiyan Xizuo, where did these anomalies come from recently?

It stands to reason that after the heavy losses of the last detailed crime, the spies of the Beiyan Prosecutor's Office should have fled from Guangling long ago, and it is impossible to stay here and wait for the pursuit of the Warp Weaving Division.

But at present, there are all kinds of signs that some spies from the Prosecutor's Office have returned to Guangling and are linked with the Gu family, what do they want to do?

Lu Shen gradually frowned.
