"Ledger?" Ouyang Mu asked with some confusion.

"I already told you on the night you left, you made an account book for Dayan as an intermediary in the arms deal, and if it was discovered by the court of Wu, it would definitely be unfavorable to Dayan. Now the ledger originally appeared in the hands of the mistress of the intermediary for some reason, and she said that she also copied a copy by hand, and now it may be in the hands of Chu Mo, who was the county magistrate of Hangzhou at the time. Yan Wuchang looked at her and explained.

Ouyang Mu didn't respond, still looking at him with some puzzlement.

"I know that there are too many loopholes in this matter, why did that middleman make a ledger of each transaction, and why did she copy it by hand, and why it happened to be turned out by Chu Mo from the hands of that mistress. Yan Wuchang stepped forward and said, "I know there are still many doubts, but this is not important, there is a lot of trouble if we think too much, we just need such a chance to have enough strength to find the prince of Chu State, and the rest, let the guys in Tianshu Pavilion think about it." ”

With that, he returned to the door of the hut and said to Ouyang Mu inside: "This woman is that Liu Xiaoxiao, I thought that Ma Liang revealed something to her, but I guess she shouldn't know anything, Ma Liang was exposed before he could confess his feelings." Originally, I was going to kill her, but I suddenly wanted to borrow her as a good bargaining chip. ”

"What is the prince going to do?" Ouyang Mu asked in a low voice.

"I'll talk about that later. Yan Wuchang suddenly sneered and said, "Now, Tianshu Pavilion has confirmed that the undercover agent who infiltrated is Chu Mo, we just need to know where he went." ”

"Lord Wang, please command. Ouyang said.

Yan Wuchang turned around and asked her, "Who is the person who is replacing the county magistrate of Pingxiang County now?"

Ouyang Mu was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "It is a person sent by the Hangzhou Prefecture, named Zhang Renjie, who seems to have come specifically to investigate the case of Liu Xiaoxiao's extermination. ”

Yan Wuchang thought about it and said, "Well, you go, be sure to find out Chu Mo's route, be careful not to startle the snake, his strength should be no less than ordinary people." ”

"Yes, my lord. ”

Ouyang Mu accepted the order softly, turned around and left, and disappeared into the vast night.

Yan Wuchang stood alone at the door of the hut, listening to the sound of cicadas in the field.

After a while, he took out the county government token he had found when he killed Wang Su from his arms, put it in his hand and looked at it repeatedly for a while, and then threw it in the field.

Liu Xiaoxiao woke up from the bed, it was already early in the morning.

The morning sun shines through the door frame, lighting up the entire small hut, and a warm atmosphere envelops it.

She struggled to turn over on the kang, and the hard clay kang made her weak shoulders ache. As soon as she turned around, she saw that the face of the human demon in front of her was only a fist away from her face.

"Ahh

Yan Wuchang seemed to be awakened by her, lazily raised his eyelids, squinted at the panicked woman in front of him, with a hint of banter in his eyes.

Liu Xiaoxiao looked at him, stood up in shock, her cheeks flushed, and retreated at a loss. Her lips trembled uncontrollably, and suddenly she thought of something, looked around, and muttered, "Little Lotus...... What about Xiaolian......"

"The little kid went to pick wildflowers for you. Yan Wuchang said lazily, burying his face under his arm.

Liu Xiaoxiao looked at the corner of the hut, where there were clusters of wild flowers, colorful, and different flowers were carefully tied together with straw ropes, adding a touch of beauty to the otherwise cold and gloomy room.

She looked at the bouquet of flowers in the corner in a daze, a little distracted.

Although Niu Lian was a young and ignorant child, she could also vaguely feel the tense atmosphere in the hut. She secretly instructed her not to resist the bloodthirsty demon behind Yan Wuchang's back, because since she saw that he easily slashed a dozen prepared catchers, she completely gave up her plans to resist and escape. This place has just arrived, and she has just stepped into this strange land and encountered danger, and now she can only take Niu Lian and wait for the government's assistance.

Niu Lian sensibly picked flowers for her to soothe her panicked heart.

She couldn't help but have hot eyes and lowered her head.

Facing this strange man, Liu Xiaoxiao didn't know what purpose he was holding him hostage, only that he was here for the damn ledger, because of this ledger, her original life was completely shattered, and she was suddenly reduced to a prisoner, and she was trapped in this low thatched hut, staying with a murderer.

Thinking of this, she raised her head boldly and said to Yan Wuchang: "What do you want? If you want me, can you please do me a favor and send that child back to Niufu first." ”

Yan Wuchang heard her words, slowly sat up from the kang, and said, "Hmm...... It's a great idea, and I can't stand this noisy yellow-haired girl. If it weren't for the fear that you wouldn't be able to open it, she would have been buried in the field a long time ago. ”

After that, he sneered at Liu Xiaoxiao, making her feel creepy.

Yan Wuchang got up from the kang and stood up, straightened his torn shirt, looked at the warm sun outside the thatched hut, and said, "I'll arrange it, you pack up your things, the two of us go on the road, don't you want to report to the official? I'll send you to see your county magistrate." ”

Liu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment and said to him: "I am a prisoner exiled by the government, and I can't leave here." You've killed so many hunters last time, they're definitely coming back for you......"

Yan Wuchang turned his head and smiled a little disdainfully: "Then why haven't they come to me after so many days? Don't worry, even if there are fast catchers in the yamen, they will be regarded as guarding for us." Let's go, little lady, don't wait for the yellow-haired girl. ”

When Liu Xiaoxiao heard this, he hurriedly got off the kang, came to his side, and said, "What do you want to do to her?"

"Sending her back, of course. Don't worry, she will definitely report your safety in a few days. Yan Wuchang said lightly, not wanting to pay attention to her.

"No, I'm going to wait for her to come back. Liu Xiaoxiao said stubbornly.

Yan Wuchang frowned impatiently, and suddenly turned around and slashed at her neck with a knife. As soon as Liu Xiaoxiao saw a flower in front of him, he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Yan Wuchang lowered his head and looked at Liu Xiaoxiao, who had passed out in a coma, with an expressionless face. He straightened his shirt and leaned against the threshold, waiting quietly.

After a while, a tall man in black armor walked in through the door. He crossed the threshold, saluted respectfully in the face of Yan Wuchang, and said, "Lord Wang......"

"How many people are here this time?" Yan Wuchang asked him directly.

"Back to the prince, twenty people from Skynet have come this time, and they have all assembled here, waiting for your order. The man replied hoarsely.

Yan Wuchang said lightly to Liu Xiaoxiao, who was lying on the ground: "Before you go, pack her up first, and then send someone to send the little girl you just caught to Niufu for me." ”

"Yes. The man said.

"Also, the purpose of this operation is not to track, but to behead, don't show up too many people, Ouyang Mu and I are enough, and the others will cover in the rear, so as not to startle the snake. Yan Wuchang then said to the man.

"Yes. ”

"Ouyang Mu has already inquired about the news on the front line, and now that we have the highest authority, we must mention the highest efficiency to me. Be fast. "Yan impermanence said. With that, he walked out the door.

Outside the hut, a carriage was already parked. Twenty men who were also dressed in black armor were gathered around the side of the carriage, and when they saw Yan Wuchang, they saluted in unison: "I have seen the prince!"

Yan Wuchang didn't respond to them, went straight to the carriage, and said lightly: "Without further ado, let's go." ”

Less than a quarter of an hour later, the carriage slowly drove away from the field and onto the road north to Hangzhou.

The thatched hut on the edge of the field suddenly burst into flames, and the flames burned wantonly against the black smoke rushing upwards. It burned the crooked-necked tree outside the door, burned the earthen kang, and burned the well-tied bunch of wildflowers placed in the corner of the wall.

Hangzhou.

Pingxiang County.

In the prefectural government.

Zhang Renjie's room was already stuffed with several headcatchers at this time. He sat in a Taishi chair, with a large stack of papers and files on the case in front of him.

All the catchers looked at Zhang Renjie with solemn faces, and one of the catchers stepped forward and said to Zhang Renjie: "My lord, that unknown man has taken Liu Xiaoxiao away, what should we do now?"

"What can I do?" Zhang Renjie said to him a little casually, "He can kill more than a dozen people by himself, what's the use of us sending more people, but it will attract the attention of the above, and it is easier to cause chaos." ”

"Yes...... But we've killed a dozen of our brothers, and we're going to let them go. The other catcher stepped forward, a little emotionally authentic.

Zhang Renjie looked at him and said, "Don't worry, we just need to keep an eye on them, I feel that this time the matter is not so simple, it may involve a lot of things, we have to put a long line to catch big fish." ”

"That'...... What do you mean by ......," the catcher who had asked the question asked him with some confusion.

"You can rest assured, the rest of the road to the north has been washed away by the torrential rain, and the only official road is Hangzhou. If they want to go out of the city, they will definitely pass through Hangzhou. Zhang Renjie said, "We first have to keep an eye on him now to see what that person wants to do." ”

A mysterious man killed more than a dozen catchers and provoked the government, but he didn't kill Liu Xiaoxiao. This made Zhang Renjie have to think of the imperial court's case of arms corruption, and Liu Xiaoxiao was inexplicably destroyed overnight, and even the restaurant where he used to be a piano girl was set on fire, and the person who did such a heinous evil act was also an outlaw. He could basically conclude that Liu Xiaoxiao and the man had nothing to do with the armament.
