When Wang Xiong arrived at the scene, the courtyard of the house was already in chaos; Yin Tianjian was dead, Lu Qian and Steward Zhang were also dead, there was no backbone in the courtyard, and several masters of the rivers and lakes had already fled; those who did not run were all arrested by the Xiang army and the officials, and the assassins were not caught, so they had to go back on an errand, and someone had to question the old man. The people who were arrested all understood at this time that Yin Tianjian, Lu Qian and others were all dead, and if Gao Yu and the government couldn't catch anyone, they would vent their anger on themselves if they couldn't do it.

Asking about the situation, Wang Xiong frowned, the other party made too much noise, and it was a bit of a never-ending taste, and he didn't run away when he was found to have killed Lu Qian, which showed that the other party didn't take the people in this house as a thing at all. For the sake of heaven, Wang Xiongcai didn't believe this, but what to do later, Wang Xiong, like Lu Qian, came alone, for fear of the Privy Council's merit, Gao Yu did not allow Wang Xiong to bring more people at all.

And the people around Yin Tianjian, there are only a small number of third-rate players on the rivers and lakes, most of them are Yin Tianjian's past friends and idlers, from Cangzhou to Dingzhou, no one dares to do anything with Yin Tianjian, so these guys are usually blowing nonsense, and they can't be used at all at a critical time. Kong Mu Pei Xuan walked over and handed a letter to Wang Xiong: "Lord Wang, look at it, it was found from Lu Qian's body." ”

Wang Xiong saw that it was written to Lu Qian by a person named Xilong from Yanyun Hall of Liao, thanking Lu Qian for providing the news; Wang Xiong knew that Xilong, a master of Yanyun Palace, was in charge of action, and Lu Qian provided the news, what news? Wang Xiong suddenly remembered Ci Lie's death, and he was immediately frightened into a cold sweat.

Although Pei Xuan didn't know anything, but he had been in the yamen for many years, his eyes were definitely there, he had read the letter, coupled with Wang Xiong's current expression, Pei Xuan could conclude that there must be something, and it was a big deal. Wang Xiong's backstage is Tong Guan, and he is a special envoy sent by the Privy Council, he only frowned when he saw Yin Tianjian dead, but now he was frightened by an irrelevant letter, what a big deal it must be.

Pei Xuan reminded in a low voice: "Lord Wang, if you want to search for the whole city, you need the consent of the prefect. ”

The Great Song Dynasty set up local governors in the prefecture, state, military and prison, and the local governor of the prefecture was the prefect, and the prefect was in charge of the military and political affairs of a state capital, especially the prefect of the border state capital had greater power in military and political affairs, and Dingzhou was the border, if there was no nod from the prefect Lu Yihao, even if there were countless casualties in the city, the official army would not block the city gate. Wang Xiong shook his head and said, "We can only pay attention to the affairs of the Double Dragon Society, and we can't interfere. I will take this letter back to Bianliang, and I will ask Confucius about the arrest of the murderer, and the content of the letter can be told to Lord Lu, and I ask him to understand. ”

Wang Xiong can still carry this clearly, Yin Tianjian has no official position, no matter how dazzling his identity is, in the final analysis, he is a common man; Lu Qian's position is too low, if Lu Yihao wants to block the city gate, he must explain the inside story clearly, but Lu Yihao is a person who cultivates the way of the teacher, this kind of thing can't be mentioned, the content of a letter is just a favor, if he doesn't say it, Pei Xuan will also tell Lu Yihao.

Pei Xuanshen glanced at Wang Xiong and said, "Since this is the case, I understand that I will go back and report to Lord Lu, and everything will be decided by Lord Li." ”

Pei Xuan was very surprised by Wang Xiong's acquaintance, Yin Tianjian came to Dingzhou for a month, and he acted in secret, but in fact, he was very high-profile, and he successively blackmailed six local wealthy businessmen, robbed houses and women, not to mention gold and silver treasures. Lu Yihao has long been dissatisfied, Wang Xiong does not take the initiative to mention, Lu Yihao will definitely not do his best; Wang Xiong strode away, Pei Xuan ordered: "Bring all the insiders back to the yamen, temporarily put the property in the warehouse, and send people to guard this house." ”

When Yang Zhi got up in the morning, the official came to the inn, just made some normal inquiries and left, and learned that the city gate was still open today, allowing the people and merchants to enter and exit, Yang Zhi admired the prefect Lu Yihao at the same time, but also the same shock as the civet and Li Wanhua, but it was a good thing for the three of them to leave the land of right and wrong peacefully. The spring breeze blows, the wild flowers all over the ground converge into the sea, and the willow leaves by the pond are completely emerald green colors.

Li Wanhua looked at the scenery outside from the window, dizzying, and the civet asked Yang Zhi in a low voice, "Where are you going?"

Now that he is not ready to return to Liaoguo for the time being, Baozhou naturally does not need to go, Yang Zhi's plan is to go out of Dingzhou, make a detour from Shenzhou, Cizhou, and Xiangzhou, and then go to the Daimyo's Mansion, so that his identity is bleached, and if he encounters a suitable place, Yang Zhi also plans to live there for a while. Yang Zhi said the route and plan, and said with a smile: "There is one last thing, which is to see if there are still people following us." ”

Li Wanhua pursed her lips and asked with a smile: "You are still worried about the death of Master Sigong, someone followed us to pick up a bargain, but who is willing to give such a big honor to killing Master Sigong." ”

Yang Zhi shook his head and said: "Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old boat, this matter must be confirmed, we have a big game this time, and it will be dormant for a while, I don't want to live a good life, and someone will come to disturb me." Two hundred miles below, I will drive the carriage, and the civet cat will observe from behind, if there is anyone following us. ”

After wandering around the streets and alleys of the mountains and villages and Shenzhou for two days, the civet cat did not find anyone who was following him, Yang Zhi continued to move forward with confidence, made a detour, and went all the way to the Daimyo's Mansion;

Anyway, he was going to hide in the Daimyo's mansion, and he didn't care about one more person, Yang Zhi simply took out the pearls that Li Wanhua gave him in the secret passage, found a gold and silver shop and sold them, and used the money from selling jewelry to buy Li Wanhua a mansion and two maids. Li Wanhua happily accepted it, and said to the outside world that they were three brothers and sisters, Yang Zhi was the eldest, the civet cat was the second, and Li Wanhua was the third. Yang Zhi looked at the civet cat and asked, "You should be older than me, right?"

The civet shook his head proudly and said: "I'm sorry, I look old, in fact, I am really younger than you, if the birthday on the official notice is true, I am two months younger than you, and you should do the work of taking care of people." Third sister, are there still two male servants in the family?"

"yes, it should. Li Wanhua knew that the civet cat was joking, Yang Zhi was carrying five or six thousand taels of silver tickets, no need to use it in vain; Yang Zhi pretended to be helpless and clapped his hands and said: "Then it's decided, you call me big brother, what is missing, open a list and come out, isn't it just to buy, externally our surname is Mu, Mu Yiya, Mu Qianshan, Mu Wanhua." ”
