Brother Qin, my injuries have not healed, and Miss Pan has repeatedly told me not to work too hard. Therefore, you will preside over the proceedings of the East Hall today. ”

"I, no!"

"Oh yes!"

Liu Xunyi's words without warning surprised Qin Ku, who didn't know why. Before he could say anything, Liu Xunyi had already grabbed his arm and went straight to the East Hall.

At noon, the sun is shining brightly, and the autumn is crisp.

In the huge east hall, nearly 1,000 disciples of the lower three sects gathered here, all in high spirits and full of energy.

Today is the first time that Liu Xunyi has convened the next three disciples to discuss after his return, which inevitably makes people feel excited and enthusiastic.

As everyone knows, since Liu Xunyi was promoted to the black fan, there have been almost a handful of deliberations in the East Hall. Except for the three sect masters, the other disciples were rarely able to contact Liu Xunyi, and they even had to try their luck when they met.

Unlike when Di Mo was in power, Liu Xunyi preferred to do it himself, or directly gave orders to a few people after careful consideration, so for many disciples of the lower three sects, Liu Xunyi was far more low-key than Di Mo, and at the same time more mysterious.

At this time, Xu Heng, Ling Qing, and Luo Ningyu were sitting in front of the three disciples of the dead, wounded, and shocked sects. The crowd was arranged in a fan-shape, and in the center was a chair, which was the throne of the black fan.

Today, in the position of the chief to the right, an exception was made to put out an extra chair, which was the seat of the newly promoted deputy fan of the lower three doors, Qin Ku.

In the midst of thousands of calls, accompanied by a burst of banter and laughter, Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku entered the East Hall one after another.

As soon as they saw the two of them, the disciples hurriedly made way for a passage. At the same time, Xu Heng, Ling Qing, and Luo Ningyu got up one after another and bowed their hands.

"See the black fan!

"No need to be polite. ”

Liu Xunyi smiled indifferently, walked quickly to his seat, and then pointed at Qin Ku, and said loudly: "Qin Ku, the deputy fan of the lower three doors appointed by the lord of the mansion, the people in the rivers and lakes call it 'ghost sorrow'." I don't need to introduce too much, I'm sure you've heard of him. ”

After that, Liu Xunyi's heart moved, and he said: "At the beginning, when I entered the lower three gates, everyone was not very familiar with me, so there were many problems. Today, Qin Ku is the deputy deacon, and if any of you are not convinced, you can ask him for a lesson or two. ”

Liu Xunyi's words caused a burst of whispers from everyone.

"Qin Ku's name is like thunder, isn't it boring to ask him for advice?" Liao Chuan pouted, "That's it!"

"At the martial arts conference, the deputy fan will cut the 'lame knife' with a thousand knives. Such achievements are enough to deter the heroes of the world, we know how many catties and taels we have, how dare we ask him for advice?" Liao Haiqi coaxed, "Moreover, with the lord of the mansion and the black fan as a guarantee, a fool can also guess that the deputy fan must have real talent and learning, and it is not a waste of fame." ”

"The two brothers have a good eye!" Qin Ku crossed Erlang's legs, leaned lazily on the chair, and said with a smile, "We will be a family in the future, don't keep using knives and guns, how unlucky? Even if you ask for advice, you have to go to the wine table to ask for advice, right? Hehe...... The younger brother has just arrived, and he doesn't understand the rules of the next three doors, and he will have to rely on the brothers to take care of him in the future. At the moment, the matter is urgent, and there is no delay. It's better to do this, after finishing this errand, the little brother invites everyone to drink. The best wine, we get drunk and rest, and it's also my gift to everyone, how about it?"

"Okay!" Ling Qing said jokingly, "There are nearly a thousand brothers in the lower three gates, all of them are massive. If you want everyone to get drunk and drink the finest wine, you'll have to weigh your own money bag first. ”

"It's okay!" Qin Ku waved his hand, full of pride, "The deputy fan treats guests, and the black fan pays for it!"

"Haha......"

Qin Ku's words caused a burst of laughter.

"Why?" Luo Ning insisted, "Why is your skin thicker than the city wall?"

Qin Ku's eyes narrowed slightly, and he retorted: "I asked Hei Zhifan to pay the money, but I didn't let you pay the money, what are you distressed about?"

As for this, Qin Ku raised his eyebrows, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, and said with a wicked smile: "I remember! Lord Luomen is the future lady of the fan." Why? Before you pass the door, you can't wait to care about your husband?"

"Poof!"

Qin Ku's jokes made Liu Xunyi spray out the sip of tea he had just drunk.

At this moment, Luo Ningyu's face was red, angry and ashamed. Everyone couldn't help laughing, and the funny appearance of wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh was very funny.

In a few words, the atmosphere in the east hall gradually became lively.

Qin Ku was born with a clever mouth, able to speak well, familiar with others, and quickly mingled with the next three disciples.

"Get down to business!" Liu Xunyi's smile retracted, and he said with a straight face, "Today's Dongtang meeting is presided over by Qin Ku, and everyone acts according to orders. ”

"Yes. The crowd shouted in unison, and the noise fell silent.

"The errand assigned by the lord of the mansion is not to fight, not to kill, not to steal or rob. It's just two words, find someone. Plus a deadline, three days. Qin Ku looked around at everyone and said gracefully, "Within three days, you will see people in life and corpses in death." ”

"Who are you looking for?" Xu Heng asked, "Where to find it?"

"Find a Lang Zhong in the house, Li Jia. Qin Ku explained, "Some of you have seen it, and some of you haven't. It's okay, I'll send you a portrait of Li Jia later. As for where to look...... It still needs to be pondered. ”

Qin Ku's words made everyone feel stunned, and they looked at each other for a while, not knowing what to say.

"Xunyi, when did you and Li Jia separate last night?" Qin Ku ignored everyone's reactions, and turned to Liu Xunyi and asked, "How old is this person?"

"About three o'clock. Liu Xunyi didn't ask Qin Ku's intentions, and replied happily, "This person is about fifty years old and has a thin figure. ”

"This morning, when the lord of the mansion investigated this matter, could you ask who left the mansion without permission last night?"

"I asked, but no one left. Liu Xunyi said firmly, "Both the white fan and the green fan can testify." ”

"That's good. Qin Ku's eyes rolled, and he said, "In the morning, the mansion master inquired about this matter in the middle hall, what time is it?"

"The first hour of the hour. ”

"Okay!" Qin Ku frowned and muttered to himself, "From three o'clock last night to the first quarter of this morning, it has been less than five hours. I'll count five hours, and go back and forth for up to two and a half hours......"

Muttering at this point, Qin Ku suddenly raised his head, stared at Liu Xunyi suspiciously, and said curiously: "Xunyi, if you are in good health and take Li Jia's corpse, how far can you go in two and a half hours?"

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi's eyes couldn't help but flash a glint of approval, and he muttered: "Walking on foot, about twenty or thirty miles." If there is a fast horse...... Or it can run fifty or sixty miles. ”

"Wait!" Luo Ningyu interrupted, "How do you know that Li Jia is dead......?

"Li Jia can't be alive. Qin Ku replied confidently, "How could a person who even dared to kill Jiang Yiwei be merciful to an insignificant Li Jia?"

"How did you know that Third Master Jiang was killed by someone?" Ling Qing said curiously.

"The lord of the house said. Liu Xunyi did not betray Pan Yuyin, and said vaguely, "You have no doubt about this section. ”

"Since the lord of the house said it himself, I believe that there will be no falsehood. Xu Heng pondered, "That's good! Let's believe that Li Jia is dead, but how do you know that someone from the mansion must have taken the body out? Maybe someone killed Li Jia and handed it over to someone outside to abandon the body in the wilderness." In this way, you go back and forth for five hours...... Isn't it a bit sloppy?"

"It's possible, but it's very slim. Qin Ku replied undeniably, "First, the incident of last night is so relevant and widely implicated, the murderer must hope that the fewer people who know about it, the better, otherwise he will not kill Li Jia." If the body is discarded by someone outside, there is no doubt that one more person will know the secret, and thus there will be more risk of leakage. If it were me, I wouldn't do such a stupid thing. Both, if the corpse is really abandoned by outsiders, they will have enough time to destroy the corpse. At the same time, the scope and difficulty of our search will also expand indefinitely. Don't say three days, even if it's three or thirty years, don't think about finding clues. So, instead of worrying about it, use the three days and do what we can. What's more, the lord of the mansion is willing to give us three days to search for Li Jia, and he must have taken this section into account. ”

Qin Ku's words were reasonable, and the disciples hesitated for a moment, and then nodded one after another.

"There's another possibility. Luo Ningyu interjected, "Even the people in the mansion may destroy their bodies within five hours, right?"

"Not bad!" Qin nodded bitterly, "but again, there is not much chance." Whoever does this kind of thing, who does it, who knows. It requires a great deal of care and patience, and I don't believe anyone can do it seamlessly in a situation where time is of the essence and can be exposed at any moment. In other words, even if the corpse is destroyed, it will not be clean, and there will be some clues for you to find. ”

"How do you know?" Luo Ningyu raised her eyebrows lightly and teased, "Could it be that you have done it?"

"How do you know I haven't done it?"

Qin Ku's refusal to answer the rhetorical question made everyone's faces change and they were shocked.

They suddenly felt that the fat man in front of them seemed to be ...... It's not as gentle as it seems.

"The more you delay here, the less chance you have to find Li Jia. Qin Ku's expression was serious, and he said loudly, "The next three disciples listened to the order and searched carefully within a radius of fifty miles from King Xian's Mansion. Focus on searching mountains, forests, rivers, and valleys, where it is easy to hide corpses. Whoever finds Li Jia, regardless of life or death, will be rewarded with 30,000 silver. At the same time, I will post a notice and mobilize the people of Luoyang to look for it together, and if they can find Li Jia, they will be rewarded with 50,000 silver. If you don't want to be ridiculed as a wine bag or a rice bag, and if you don't want this reward to fall into the hands of outsiders, you must search carefully and carefully. Within a radius of fifty miles, don't let go of any corner. ”

"Yes!"

The next three disciples received the order in unison, and one by one they were full of excitement and eager to try.

"Hunt for clothes, what do you mean ......"

Facing Qin Ku's inquiry, Liu Xunyi smiled slightly and said, "I have no objection, everything will be done according to the meaning of the deputy fan!"

"Yes!"

Under the leadership of the three sect masters, nearly a thousand disciples scattered in a hurry.

"Brother Qin, amazing!" Looking at the people who were getting farther and farther away, Liu Xunyi gave Qin Ku a heartfelt admiration, "But I'm curious, you really put up a notice and ask the people of Luoyang to help find Li Jia?"

"Of course......" Under Liu Xunyi's suspicious gaze, Qin stopped talking bitterly, turned to a smile, and said frankly, "Of course not! King Beixian is the leader of the martial arts alliance, he has an identity, a status, and a face, and I still know some of the truth that family ugliness should not be publicized." As for posting notices...... It's just a radical method. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but laugh and clapped his hands in praise.

"Wait! Favors are favors, and accounts must be clear. Qin Ku's eyes widened, and he said matter-of-factly, "If you really find Li Jia, you will be rewarded with 30,000 silver...... You're out. ”

"You take the credit, and I break the money?" Liu Xunyi shook his head and said, "This deal is not cost-effective." ”

With that, Liu Xunyi slowly got up, and under Qin's bitter and resentful gaze, he walked towards the outside of the hall.

"Big deal...... I don't want credit, as long as you pay!" Qin Ku took the initiative to retreat, "If I can't find Li Jia, I'll get the punishment." If you find Li Jia, you will ask for credit, okay?"

"Really?" Liu Xunyi suddenly looked back and hesitated, "No regrets?"

Seeing that Liu Xunyi was relieved, Qin Ku hurriedly raised his hand and swore an oath: "Husband, it is difficult to chase after a horse!"

"That'...... Alright!"

Liu Xunyi reluctantly agreed, and walked to the door, but suddenly stopped, and said without looking back: "Brother Qin, there is something I forgot to tell you." The lord of the house said that the first person to do the errand is ...... You can receive a reward of 100,000 silver from the bookkeeper. ”

After that, he completely ignored Qin's painful expression that life was worse than death, hummed a little song, crossed the threshold gracefully, and went to the courtyard to bask in the sun.
