As the capital of Jiangzhou, Jinling Mansion is very large, among the four cities in the southeast, northwest and northwest, even if it is a smaller North City, it is much larger than a Beimang County, if you look down from a high altitude, the whole Jinling City is like a chessboard that has been magnified countless times.

The Qian family has eight mansions with names and surnames in Jinling Mansion, just like eight chess pieces on a chessboard, which shows that the scale of these eight mansions is huge. In addition to these eight mansions, there are many other people's names on them, or smaller ones that are not well known, such as Qian Yulong's private residence.

After Qian Yulou returned to Jinling Mansion, he did not rush to his ancestral house, but temporarily settled in a quiet mansion in Beicheng.

This was originally the private residence of a Zhishi official, but the descendants were not angry, gambled and lost, and mortgaged this private house, and was later bought by Qian Yulou as her hidden meeting place.

At this time, she was receiving a distinguished guest, if Li Xuandu was also here, she would not feel strange, because this distinguished guest was the one he met outside the Anqing Mansion, the deputy sect master of the Forgetful Sect, Han Yingyue, and the woman named "Blue Slave" who followed Han Yinyue.

Han Yinyue has been doing one thing since she entered the door, that is, looking at the woman in front of her, her eyes are pure and there is no evil thoughts, as if she is admiring a piece of porcelain and a piece of jade, and she doesn't seem to be looking at a beautiful woman.

Qian Yulou was indifferent to Han Yingyue's gaze from beginning to end, in fact, when Han Yingyue looked at her, she was also looking at this deputy sect master of the Loveless Sect who looked young but was no longer confused.

Things in this world, I am most afraid that you have me, I have you, her relationship with her eldest brother Qian Yulong is generally like this, so both of them can guess the hole cards in each other's hands, so at this time there are only two choices, either to win with Yang openly, or to learn to "hide cards", in a sense, Han Yueyue is a hole card hidden by Qian Yulou, in order to be able to surprise or even reverse the situation at a critical moment.

Qian Yulou is not an ambitious and incapable woman, on the contrary, since she was a child, she has shown far more shrewdness and ability than her peers, otherwise she would not have given birth to the idea of competing with her eldest brother Qian Yulong for the position of the head of the family, in her opinion, the eldest brother except for the identity of the eldest son, there is nothing comparable to him, so she took the initiative to leave the comfortable ancestral house after the marriage, and went to the miasma in the southwest to run the family business。

Of course, her eldest brother Qian Yulong was also not idle, when she befriended the five sects in the northwest, Qian Yulong was also active among the twelve sects of the righteous path, but it was a pity that he was involved in the "four-six dispute", although he was not burned, but the harvest that can be taken out to say the Tao is also close to things, it can almost be said that he has done useless work, from the perspective of a businessman, this transaction has not been profitable, but he has barely kept his capital.

In Qian Yulou's opinion, between this in and out, she has already regained her disadvantage, and the two can almost be regarded as evenly matched, and the next thing depends on their respective wrists.

After a pair of men and women looked at each other for a long time, Han Yingyue finally spoke: "Miss Qian Er." ”

"Sect Master Han just calls me Qian Er. Qian Yulou said: "In our Qian family, the elders have always called it so. ”

Han Invite Yue smiled: "Okay, in the future, I will call you Qian Er, and you don't call me Sect Master Han, just call me Invite Yue." ”

Qian Yulou smiled lightly.

At this moment, a steward hurried to the door, and although the door was open, he did not dare to cross the threshold rashly, so he could only reach out and knock lightly on the door.

Qian Yulou frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

The steward cautiously walked around the back of the chair and whispered in Qian Yulou's ear: "Second Miss, something is going on in Nancheng. ”

Qian Yulou stood up abruptly.

The steward immediately became nervous, and lowered his hand to the side, not daring to say more.

Qian Yulou took a deep breath, calmed down his mood a little, and said to Han Yinyue: "Please forgive me for inviting Yue, I want to miss me a little." ”

Han Yinyue smiled slightly: "It's okay, just go." ”

Qian Yulou did not perform the Ten Thousand Blessings ceremony like a woman, but made a man's bow, and then turned around and strode away, while the steward followed Qian Yulou in small steps and walked out.

After walking a distance, Qian Yulou's face was gloomy and asked, "What's going on?"

The steward sweated profusely and said: "It was Mrs. Liu's side that went wrong, early this morning, Xiao Wu went to see Zhang Po, but he didn't find it, he could only leave a mark first, but at dusk, there was still no response, he panicked, and sent several people to find it, and finally a master of the Dao Seed Sect used a secret method to find the person......"

Mrs. Liu is Liu Yushuang, Xiao Wu is another confidant of Qian Yulou, and Mrs. Zhang is the old woman of the Congenital Realm who is responsible for protecting Liu Yushuang.

"What about people?" Qian Yulou stopped abruptly and asked sharply, "Where is Po Zhang?"

The steward seemed to have been pinched by the throat, and said in a dumb voice: "Death...... He's dead. When she was found, her body was almost floating to the mouth of the sea, and if it was a little later, it would not be found at all. ”

A touch of darkness flashed under Qian Yulou's eyes: "Did Qian Yulong notice it?" or ......?"

I have to say that the one who knows you best is usually your enemy, and the one who knows Qian Yulong best is naturally Qian Yulou, she is both a sister and an opponent, so she naturally knows Qian Yulong's style of doing things, and immediately reacted.

If Qian Yulong sent someone to kill Zhang Po, then it means two things: first, Qian Yulong has already discovered that Zhang Po has been rebelling for a long time, and he is planning to do it, so Liu Yushuang will not be reliable; second, Zhang Po must know something, even if it involves the key to Qian Yulong's plan, so even if Qian Yulong risks scaring the snake, he must kill him.

But this is just speculation, if Zhang Po died in the rivers and lakes and vendettas, and Qian Yulong didn't know about it, then she would do it rashly, and she would "not admit herself", exposing Liu Yushuang's secret son in vain.

Qian Yulou was a little unsure whether Qian Yulong was suspicious or not, and his mood became more and more gloomy, and he asked, "Has the cause of death been investigated?"

The cold sweat on the steward's forehead became more and more: "It has been investigated, it is the handiwork of Wan Dumen." ”

"Wan Du Gate. Qian Yulou snorted coldly and muttered: "Anyone can hire Wan Dumen to kill people, and I can't catch the roots, it's really leaky, but I'm not the judge of the case, why bother talking about any evidence, no flaws are the biggest flaws, and some things are too clean." In this way, Zhang Po's anti-water matter has been exposed, so Liu Yushuang's side is unreliable. ”

Qian Yulou firmed up his reasoning and immediately asked, "Has Liu Yushuang made any changes in the past few days?"

The steward thought for a moment and hesitated: "It seems that the day before yesterday, she arranged one of her cousins into the fleet, and the young lady ordered us to treat her politely, which is a trivial matter, so ...... So the fleet agreed. ”

Qian Yulou didn't get angry with his subordinates, but his face became more and more cloudy, and he ordered: "Gather people and go to the dock." ”

The steward hesitated: "Who are you going to gather?"

Qian Yulou closed his eyes and said word by word: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while." It's time for the old man who ate a lot of our money to do something, let him send his junks to surround the entire dock, clear the field, drive away the ordinary people and cargo ships, and then let the people of the Dao Sect clean up the mess, and they must catch that person, and they must catch him alive. ”

Qian Yulou stretched out his hand and tapped his forehead, and continued: "Also, send some people to Liu Yushuang's side to take a look, if Qian Yulong takes her away, or sends someone to protect her, she will withdraw first." If you don't take her away, you will arrest Liu Yushuang back. ”

"In addition, the Qinxiang Courtyard also sent someone to inform him. ”

The steward respectfully accepted the order, then turned and walked away quickly.
