Jiang Yiwei secretly returned home without alarming anyone. It was Xie Xuan who secretly informed Luo Tianjin at the banquet that he quietly withdrew.

Luo Tianjin secretly met with Jiang Yiwei in the study, and after listening to what Jiang Yiwei saw and heard when he went to Jiangling, he immediately ordered Xie Xuanmi to summon Ling Xiaoxiao, Deng Changchuan, Su Tang, and Lin Fangda to come and talk. Subsequently, Luo Tianjin communicated with them and asked Lin Fang's general Liu Xunyi to come for questioning.

In the study, you can still vaguely hear the noise and noise of the front yard, but the few people in the room are all solemn, without saying a word, each thinking about it, and the atmosphere is quite depressing.

An hour later, Lin Fangda finally came with Liu Xunyi.

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Xunyi could clearly feel that the atmosphere was a little delicate, but because of his identity and all kinds of suspicions about the unknown, although he was apprehensive, he still pretended to be calm on the surface.

"I've seen the lord of the mansion and the lady!I've seen the second master Xie, the third master Jiang, and the fifth master Deng! I've seen the white fan!" Liu Xunyi saluted in turn without being humble or arrogant, and then stood in the middle of several people under the guidance of Lin Fangda. Lin Fangda retreated to the side and sat down with a worried expression.

"Xunyi, go to enjoy the fireworks with Yu'er tonight, can you have a good time?" Luo Tianjin was the first to speak, his voice was still plain and elegant, as if chatting with Liu Xunyi about homely things, and he couldn't hear the slightest weirdness.

"If you go back to the mansion master, it's okay!" Liu Xunyi quickly calculated in his heart, but he answered quickly without hesitation.

"Hmm!" Luo Tianjin nodded with a smile, and said, "I remember you said that you are from Jiangling, I don't know how you think the fireworks feast on Luoyang's Chinese New Year's Eve is compared to the atmosphere of the New Year in Jiangling?"

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi felt a sigh in his heart, and said secretly: "Finally got to the point." He smiled faintly and said humbly: "The New Year in Jiangling is also very lively, but in terms of prosperity and luxury, it is not as good as today's Luoyang." ”

"Really?" Jiang Yiwei suddenly interjected, his eyes as deeply sunken as skeletons stared at Liu Xunyi, as if he wanted to pierce Liu Xunyi's heart with his gaze.

Jiang Yiwei said in a strange manner: "I heard that Fan Humen once had unlimited scenery in the Jiangling area, at that time, Fan Humen cooked sheep and slaughtered cattle all day long, and the disciples ate meat and drank wine. Isn't this comparable to the prosperity and luxury of Luoyang?"

Liu Xunyi knew that Jiang Yiwei had just returned from Jiangling, and he was bound to know the local area clearly, if he wanted to make up some ambiguous anecdotes about Jiangling in front of him, he was afraid that he would soon be exposed.

So Liu Xunyi had to think about it again and again, and said slowly: "No matter how prosperous Fanhumen is, it is just a corner of peace, how can it be compared with the huge Luoyang City? Jiang Sanye looked too highly at Fan Humen. Hehe......"

"Then what do you say the real Fan Humen should look like?" Jiang Yiwei asked aggressively.

"If you say it sounds, it's a green forest gang, but if it's not good...... It's a rabble. Liu Xunyi groaned. This remark was not untargeted, but he saw it from the "Chronicles" presented to the imperial court by the Gangneung official mansion.

This kind of thing, the local government plays almost every month, and most of them are inconsequential and trivial, so they will not deliberately keep it secret.

Liu Xunyi, as the young protector of Dongfu Tianji Pavilion, naturally had the opportunity to look through these events. What's more, he infiltrated the Xianwang Mansion this time on the secret order of the Prime Minister, so it was logical for him to check the news about the "fake identity" at will.

"Since you are a rabble, with your talents and martial arts, why are you willing to stay in Fanhumen?" Jiang Yiwei asked rhetorically, "When you enter Fanhumen, isn't it a dragon swimming in shallow water and a tiger falling in Pingyang?"

"At that time, I was still young and had little qualifications, and it was not easy to have the opportunity to follow Zhao Tong to practice martial arts, so how could I dare to pick and choose?"

"How many years have you been studying martial arts with Zhao Tong, and how many years have you been in Fan Humen?"

"I have practiced martial arts for 12 years and entered Fanhumen for five years. Liu Xunyi had already prepared his rhetoric, so he didn't have to worry about any mistakes or omissions at this moment, "After Fan Humen was cleared by the government, I had to escape from Jiangling in order to protect myself. ”

"Since he is Zhao Tong's apprentice, and he has been in Fanhumen for five years, he should be very familiar with the people up and down Fanhumen, right?" Jiang Yiwei sneered, "I have something that is getting more and more confused, and I want to ask you to explain it to me." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi's heart sank, he suddenly realized that he had just made a mistake, and secretly thought: "Since Jiang Yiwei has just come back from Jiangling, then he has already found some people who have been familiar with Fan Humen and asked about him. And just now I said that I had stayed in Fanhumen for five years, wouldn't I lift a stone and shoot myself in the foot?"

Just when Liu Xunyi secretly blamed himself, he thought again: "Fan Humen has disappeared for several years, the three masters have long been beheaded by the government, and the rest of the disciples have also scattered one after another, and most of them have left Jiangling. Coupled with the fact that it has been a long time, it should not be such a coincidence, and Jiang Yiwei found out what it is. Even if I really inquire about any news, I can excuse myself with my incorruptible tongue. Anyway, everyone is unsubstantiated, wouldn't whoever says it look like they will listen to whom? It doesn't matter whether other people believe it or not, the most important thing is to make Luo Tianjin believe it. ”

Thinking of this, Liu Xunyi suddenly felt a little bold in his heart, and said bluntly: "I don't know what kind of confusion Jiang Sanye has? ”

"I happened to pass by Gangneung Mansion a few days ago, and by the way, I asked about you, and I wanted to see if you have any relatives in Gangneung, so that I could take some small gifts and go to visit. Jiang Yiwei said with a smile, "But I never expected that I almost walked around Jiangling Mansion, but no one had heard of your name Liu Xunyi." I wonder why?"

Liu Xunyi smiled confidently and said: "First, I am an orphan, I have no father or mother since I was a child, and I have no relatives and friends. I think that except for the three masters of Fan Humen, who may still be remembered by a few people, the rest of the disciples are afraid that no one can remember them anymore. Of the three, Fan Humen was purged because he offended the government, and this matter was in an uproar, and everyone was afraid to avoid it, so they left out their relationship with Fan Humen, and they didn't even want to be involved, for fear of being implicated in vain. Therefore, even if someone remembers me, they dare not admit it. If he is accidentally arrested by the government as a remnant of Fan Humen, won't he be wronged? Let me ask ordinary people, who would dare to wade into this troubled water?"

Jiang Yiwei didn't expect Liu Xunyi to be so eloquent, so he couldn't help but turn pale, and said coldly: "Even if you have all kinds of rhetoric, won't anyone in the huge Jiangling Mansion remember you?" Or ...... You're not from Gangneung at all?"

"Jiang Sanye has a true saying. Liu Xunyi nodded and said, "That's 'a huge Jiangling Mansion'." How could Jiangling Mansion be deliberately remembered when it was so big, and he was just an unknown junior back then? What's more, how can Jiang Sanye guarantee that if you pass through Jiangling this time, you will definitely be able to ask everyone? Maybe someone really remembers it, but it is not impossible that Jiang Sanye did not find him. After all, Jiangling Mansion is so big and has such a large population, even the imperial court is difficult to accurately count, let alone Jiang Sanye alone?"

"You ......" Jiang Yiwei was displeased by Liu Xunyi's clever tongue, and said coldly, "You said it, but it was just a clever mouth." ”

"I didn't mean to offend Jiang Sanye. Seeing this, Liu Xunyi hurriedly apologized, "It's just that I really can't figure out why Third Master Jiang is so interested in Zaixia's life experience, and even went to Jiangling to find out." Liu Xunyi pretended to be innocent, pretending to be pitiful and unaware of everything, and said aggrievedly, "I don't understand even more, whether I am from Jiangling Fanhumen, and what is the difference for Jiang Sanye?"

"Liu Xunyi, you don't have to ask Jiang Yiwei. Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "I might as well tell you the truth, in fact, it was the mansion master who ordered Jiang Yiwei to check your details." ”

"Oh?" Liu Xunyi pretended to be surprised, and asked Luo Tianjin instead, "I don't know what the mansion master's intentions are?"

Luo Tianjin had been silently listening to the argument between Liu Xunyi and Jiang Yiwei just now, and seeing that the matter had been clarified at this moment, he simply admitted it generously, and said bluntly: "Because I want to know, how much else are you hiding from me?"

Liu Xunyi was stunned for a moment, and quickly calculated the meaning of Luo Tianjin's words in his heart, and said tentatively: "What does the mansion master mean by this?

"It's not a cover-up. Luo Tianjin's tone suddenly became heavier, and a palpitating cold light suddenly burst out in his eyes when he looked at Liu Xunyi, "It's deception!"

"This ......"

"See for yourself!"

Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to speak, Luo Tianjin suddenly threw a scroll on the bookcase in front of Liu Xunyi.

It was the shocking rain map that Liu Xunyi brought back from the Western Regions.

This matter was completely beyond Liu Xunyi's expectations, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, hurriedly picked up this picture, and asked in surprise, "Mansion Master, what does this mean......?" Isn't this picture ......?"

"Do you know this picture?" Xie Xuan said in a deep voice.

"It's a picture of the wind and rain that I dedicated to the lord of the house. Liu Xunyi nodded quickly.

Xie Xuan snorted coldly, then threw another picture, and asked, "Then you want to take a look at this one again?"

Liu Xunyi carefully compared and found that the two pictures were exactly the same. After thinking about it, he never understood what Luo Tianjin meant, and he couldn't help but look anxious.

"The second one you got back from the Western Regions. Luo Tianjin suddenly slapped the case and said angrily, "And the first one was bought by Wang Xutong from the south, and he clearly told me that it was a fake picture." What surprised me the most was that the genuine handiwork you had painstakingly brought back was exactly the same as the fake picture that Wang Xutong had bought with money! How do you explain this to me?"

As soon as Luo Tianjin's words came out, Liu Xunyi's face instantly became extremely ugly.
