Brother Liu, after a day of tossing, you must have been sleepy and tired, why don't you rest early?"

"Okay, I'll send you out......"

"My brother is not polite, I'm leaving!"

"Brother Qin, go slowly!"

With a burst of warm greetings, Qin Wei said goodbye to Liu Xunyi and walked out of the small courtyard with a spring breeze on his face.

However, the moment Qin Wei heard the sound of the door closing behind him, the smile that lingered on his face immediately dissipated, and was replaced by a thick sense of worry.

At this time, Tu Long and Tu Hu led more than a dozen Golden Sword Captains to wait anxiously outside the courtyard, and when they saw Qin Wei, they rushed forward one after another.

"What are you doing?" Looking at the respectful crowd, a trace of displeasure appeared in Qin Wei's eyes, "Why don't you go to Chu Mao, what are you doing standing here?"

"Back to the Hou Ye, Chu Mao has already returned. ”

Hearing this, Qin Wei's eyes suddenly condensed, and he said urgently, "Where is it?"

"Waiting in the middle hall. The dragon slayer carefully tempted, "Do you want to call him here......"

"Not necessarily!"

Qin Wei hurriedly refused, and at the same time walked towards the inner courtyard.

"Master Hou, the middle hall is over there......"

"I know!" Qin Wei said without looking back, "Prepare the car, order Chu Mao to wait at the gate, Ben Hou will go to change clothes first, and slowly interrogate him on the road for a while." ”

"Prepare the car?" Slayer Long was taken aback and said in astonishment, "Where is Master Hou going to go so late?"

"Privy Council!"

After a cup of tea, under the escort of Dragon Slayer, Tiger Slayer and more than a dozen Golden Sword Captains, the carriage slowly left Tianji Pavilion.

In the dimly lit carriage, Qin Wei and Chu Mao sat opposite each other, with different expressions.

Qin Wei looked at Chu Mao, who was sincerely frightened, with a sharp gaze as sharp as a knife, as if he was brewing some kind of emotion, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Chu Mao knew that he had made a big mistake, so he hugged his head and shrunk his neck, his shoulders were tired, his whole body trembled, and his sweat was like rain. Even so, he didn't dare to break the silence of the moment, let alone defend himself.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, a slap in the face without warning hit Chu Mao hard, causing his head to be stunned, and his body subconsciously fell backwards.

Holding back the heat on his face, Chu Mao trembled and knelt in front of Qin Wei, ignoring the redness and swelling of his cheeks and the bleeding from the corners of his mouth.

"The villain is guilty......"

"Smack!"

Before Chu Mao's words fell, Qin Wei slapped him again.

"The villain is guilty......"

"Bang, bang, bang......"

In Chu Mao's confession of mistakes over and over again, Qin Wei made a ruthless move, and slapped his face as swollen as a pig's head, but he still had no intention of stopping.

From beginning to end, Chu Mao endured the pain, knelt straight in front of Qin Wei, and let his slap stretch like a raging storm, still not moving at all, silently bearing.

"Waste, I can't even look at a person, what's the use of raising you?"

"Master Hou is angry, and the villain is guilty. ”

Looking at the angry Qin Wei, Chu Mao kowtowed again and again like garlic.

"Ben Hou has repeatedly warned that the current Lin'an is not peaceful, you must be cautious in doing things, and don't cause trouble. But what about you, how can I end up stabbing such a big Lou Zi out of me?"

The more Qin Wei spoke, the more angry he became, and he kicked Chu Mao in the chest head-on, almost kicking him out of the carriage.

"Master Hou is angry, all the mistakes are the fault of the villain......" Chu Mao knelt down in front of Qin Wei with a rolling belt, and said in annoyance, "I never expected Ding Chou to appear in the West Lake Langyuan......"

"Shut up!"

Qin Wei's eyes were cold, and he cautiously lifted the curtain to look outside, and saw that there were only his cronies around, and the street was empty, so his nervous mood eased slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Not long ago, Ben Hou ordered you to track down the whereabouts of Ding Chou and Qiu Han, how did you pat your chest and promise me at that time?"

"I ......"

"You said that you have turned Lin'an City upside down, and unless they go to heaven and earth, there is nothing to hide. The reason why they could not be found was only one possibility, that is, the two of them had already fled Lin'an. Qin Wei said angrily, "Hmph! I knew that you were so hasty, Ben Hou really shouldn't have believed your nonsense in the first place." In my opinion, you must have thought that the City God Temple was dirty and chaotic, so you didn't even check it. ”

"Perhaps...... Maybe they've only recently returned......"

"Do you still dare to quibble?" Qin Weihu was stunned and reprimanded angrily, "Qiu Han has long been paralyzed in bed, he and Ding Chou are dependent on each other, and everyone in the City God Temple can testify, how can you deny it?

"The villain didn't expect the dignified Tianji Pavilion Shaobao to run away to be a beggar......"

"Stupid as a pig, stupid!"

"The villain is guilty......"

"Guilt, guilt......" Qin Wei waved his hand rather impatiently to interrupt, "The matter has come to this point, there is a use in knowing guilt? A group of wastes who are not enough to succeed and have more than enough to fail, they can't even do a little thing, they are all wine bags and rice bags! If you were in the Tianji Pavilion in the past, none of you wastes would have survived for three days......"

As for this, Qin Wei seemed to recall the past, and couldn't help but feel irritated, and hurriedly changed his words: "That's it! You tell me everything that happened today, and you can't omit any details." ”

"Obey!" Chu Mao cleared his thoughts and recalled carefully, "At noon today, Master Hou left the cemetery first......

In less than half an hour, Chu Mao had already informed Qin Wei of everything that had happened today.

After hearing this, Qin Wei's eyebrows tightened, and his eyes were solemn, as if he was silently thinking about something in his heart?

"Could it be a coincidence?"

"The villain swears to God, it is an absolute coincidence. Chu Mao said firmly, "If it weren't for Master Hou's early order, he was not allowed to use force against Lord Liu, and the villain would never let him wander around." ”

"Hmph!" Qin Wei scoffed at Chu Mao's defense and sneered, "Just because you also want to use force against Liu Xunyi, I'm afraid I don't know how to write the word 'death'." ”

"This ......"

According to what you said, Ding Chou didn't mention my relationship with Xifu?"

"At least not at the time of West Lake Langyuan. Chu Mao muttered, "But after they left...... The villain doesn't know. ”

"It seems that Liu Xunyi didn't lie to me. Qin Wei thought thoughtfully, "Qiu Han and Ding Chou knew that they had no chance of winning against me, so they didn't want to drag him into the water in vain...... Perhaps, Liu Xunyi really doesn't know anything about everything. ”

"Master Hou, forgive the villain's bold speculation. Chu Mao hesitated, "Is it possible...... Lord Liu already knows everything, he is just deliberately pretending to be confused?"

"Impossible!" Qin Wei said confidently, "I know him very well as he is, and with his temperament, if he knew that I had colluded with Xifu for a long time, he would never give up, and he would definitely be angry and ask my master for guilt, and he would never be as calm as tonight." ”

"This ......"

"Tonight, he was able to talk and laugh with me calmly, and even persuaded me to 'go back to basics' intentionally or unintentionally...... It shows that he knows very little about me and Xifu. Even if he perceives the slightest clue, he is not completely sure, let alone conclusive evidence. Otherwise, he would not have told me the whereabouts of Qiu Han and Ding Chou. Thinking about it this way, there is still room for the matter to be turned around......"

At this time, there was a sense of happiness in Qin Wei's tone.

Chu Mao's eyes rolled, and he said viciously: "Master Hou, Qiu Han and Ding Chou are always potential hidden dangers, the two of them will not get rid of them for a day, and the relationship between Lord Hou and Lord Liu will not be stable for a day, and you will ...... There will always be a layer of barriers. ”

Hearing this, Qin Wei raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "In your opinion, how should this matter end?"

"Only the dead can keep secrets forever. Now that we already know the whereabouts of Qiu Han and the others, we simply don't do anything, and send people directly to the City God Temple......"

At this point, Chu Mao gently swiped his hand on his neck, and the deep meaning was self-evident.

"Do you have pig brains?" Qin Wei laughed angrily, looking at Chu Mao's eyes full of contempt, "Liu Xunyi told me the whereabouts of Qiu Han and Ding Chou on the front foot, and you sent someone to kill you on the back foot, even a fool can guess what happened." Aren't you doing this to your own deception?"

"This ......" was broken by Qin Wei's words, Chu Mao couldn't help but be stunned, and said embarrassedly, "Hou Ye is far-sighted, but he is a villain." It's just that Qiu Han and Ding Chou are always troublesome, and Hou Ye won't ...... You really want to recall them back to the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, right?"

"It's a really tricky matter. Qin Wei looked annoyed, "I only hate that I couldn't send them back to the west in the woods on the outskirts of the city, otherwise there would be no disaster today." As for this, Qin Wei suddenly had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly said, "By the way, can the masked people who ruined our good deeds at that time find out their whereabouts?"

"Those people came suddenly, without warning, and afterwards all the clues were dealt with, and we couldn't find them at all. ”

Although he had expected it, Qin Wei still couldn't hide his sense of loss, and said melancholy: "Actually, Qiu Han was seriously injured and his life was short. Ding Chou is just a timid hairy child......"

"Although Ding Chou is timid, Liu Xunyi is an outlaw who is not afraid of the sky and the earth. Chu Mao saw that Qin Wei's mind was shaken, and hurriedly said evil words and instigated, "In case the matter is big, regardless of whether he is Hou Ye's opponent or not, just talk about the impact of this matter...... I'm afraid it's very detrimental to the future of Master Hou. After all, Tianji Pavilion is still under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Mansion, and there are still many people up and down the Eastern Mansion who still miss the Prime Minister and Zhao Yuan. Especially Lord Jia...... Because the marquis refused to follow his orders, he spoke boldly and bluntly in front of the emperor. After careful calculation, Lord Jia was dismissed and questioned before, and he had nothing to do with this matter. Although Hou Ye and him have not yet reached the point of incompatibility, the gap has arisen, and the contradictions cannot be reconciled. Don't forget, Lord Jia has always complained about Hou Ye's succession as the master of Tianji Pavilion, and has always wanted to find an opportunity to make things difficult for Hou Ye......"

"Alas!" Qin Wei frowned and sighed repeatedly, "It is precisely because Ben Hou has considered these hidden dangers that he is nervous and undecided. I went to the Privy Council overnight to find a solution from Lord Chin. He was a well-informed and far-sighted man who would have been able to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds for me. ”
