The old man knew everything there, whether it was the crooked table, the window that wouldn't close, or the old smell.

There, the old man's spirit will be softened and he will come downstairs, his thoughts will be much clearer, and he can think of many things.

In the room, the old man poured cold water on the three of them.

Originally, the old man was going to boil water to make tea for everyone, but he was stopped by Nangong Yan.

He felt that now that this was the case, it was already very disturbing to the old man, and he didn't want to cause him more trouble.

"Old man, why are you alone here, and the other dart masters?"

Nangong Yan opened his mouth and asked the biggest question he had since he came to the dart game.

"My lord, this place is closed. You don't see that everything that can be moved here has already moved away, I just stayed to look at the house, and if anyone wants to buy or rent, I will contact him. ”

Nangong Yan continued to ask, "Why isn't the dart game here?"

The old man said: "Some time ago, the dart bureau took over the work, but who knew that all the people on the road were killed. This incident not only alarmed the government, but also the big gangs in the city. Later, the chief dart head gave the deceased's family a sum of money, and began to pack up his belongings and prepare to close down. ”

Nangong Yan: "I heard that in that incident, there was also a dart master who didn't die, right." ”

Old man: "I didn't care about that. ”

Nangong Yan: "Then when did you move out here?"

Old man: "Most of the things were moved away some time ago, and as for the people in the dart game, they left after having a casual meal at noon today." ”

It so happened that as soon as we arrived, they left.

Nangong Yan thought in his heart and continued, "Do you know where they have gone?"

Old man: "These people are not local, so they all went back to their hometowns after they broke up." ”

A dart game, the protection is the dart, and the network is walked. The dart board does not invite locals, so how can it be related to the local movement.

Nangong Yan: "I've all returned to my hometown, the old man, can I contact them again." ”

The old man: "This can't be contacted, the head of the dart said at the casual dinner, everyone will get together if they have a fate, and disperse if they don't have a fate, don't force it." ”

Nangong Yan: "If that's the case, then someone comes to buy a house, who should you look for." ”

Old man: "Actually, this house has long been owned by the largest pawnshop in the city, if someone wants to buy a house, as long as I bring the pawn ticket and go to redeem it with the buyer." ”

Nangong Yan: "Can you show me the pawn ticket ......?"

A few steps out of the dart game, Ah Kong asked, "How credible is what the old man said?"

Nangong Yan said: "From his words, it doesn't seem to be a lie. ”

Ah Kong frowned slightly, and said, "But his words contain more questions. ”

Nangong Yan snorted and said, "His words are questionable, not leaky, which shows that he did not carefully arrange this conversation." ”

Akong, however, did not seem to agree with him: "Perhaps, he deliberately did this, but let us not doubt him." ”

"It makes sense, if he really has such ability, then we can't get anything out of his mouth for a while. ”

"Not bad. However, although his words make us lose any real value, I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, they all point to one place. ”

"Yongle Gang. ”

Aman followed the two of them all the time and did not speak.

His cleverness lies in his timely transformation.

At the beginning, he wanted to perform in front of Nangong Yan, but the result was not very ideal. So he learned to be obedient, and first looked at the temperament of the two before he spoke.

But after listening to the words of the two for a long time, he didn't understand anything. During this time, what clues did they get, and why did they get involved with the Yongle Gang?

Nangong Yan went to Changxiao City in the morning, and handed over official documents to the prefect in the yamen, so he visited the Yongle Gang non-stop.

At noon, he returned to the Yamen, and the prefect held a banquet for himself.

He didn't want to trouble the other party, but first, the prefect's enthusiasm, and second, in the next period of time, Nangong Yan will investigate the case in the city, and the help of the prefect is indispensable at that time.

At this time, if you don't sell the other party a face, then in the following days, the case may be a little uncomfortable.

After the banquet, Nangong Yan asked some questions about the results of the official investigation into the case. After asking about it, I got up on business.

But at this time, the dart game was already empty.

The people of the dart game will really find time when they leave. No sooner or later, it's just the day I came today. This shows that their departure may have been instigated by others.

And this is most likely Zhu Changle of the Yongle Gang.

Originally, in the morning, since the Yongle Gang left, Nangong Yan planned to go to the dart game. But Zhu Changle's words had too many doubts, he thought about it while walking, and before he knew it, he returned to the yamen.

Now that I think about it, these questions may have been deliberately said by Zhu Changle.

When a person's mind is focused to a certain point, some actions will be guided by instinct.

Because of thinking about the above doubts, Nangong Yan returned to the yamen under the guidance of instinct.

And there, there is a master waiting to invite him to the banquet.

Whether it is thinking about problems and going the wrong way, or going to the banquet for the sake of face, these Nangong Yan will do it. But Zhu Changle was able to connect them cleverly and without a trace, and I have to say that this opponent is very terrifying.

Looking at the past style of the Changle Gang, Nangong Yan can conclude that these are by no means designed by Feng Renyu. Behind Zhu Changle, there is a top wise man who is helping him give advice.

It seems that it is necessary for him to visit the Changle Gang again.

Just thinking about the next plan, I saw Aman striding in, and said excitedly: "My lord, the Changle gang has invited you to the banquet, and the people are in the front yard." ”

Could it be that the other party can even guess what he is thinking now?

followed Aman out of the backyard, and saw Feng Renyu standing with his back to the courtyard door.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Feng Renyu turned around, arched his hand, and said, "Lord Nangong, let's meet again." ”

"Yes, we just met in the morning, and we met again in the afternoon, so we are really fated. ”

"Your Excellency is polite, the one who is destined is not below, but the helper of my family, I am just touching the light of his old man. As he spoke, Feng Renyu took out an invitation from his arms, respectfully handed it to Nangong Yan, and said, "My helper invites you to the banquet tomorrow night, and Lord Nangong must appreciate it." ”

After receiving the invitation, Nangong Yan looked at the invitation carefully and said, "You go back and convey it on my behalf, just say that Nangong Yan will arrive on time." ”

The next day, Nangong Yan, who had breakfast, was about to go to the scene of the crime that day to see what was missing. At this moment, someone quickly invited him to the yamen, saying that the prefect had invited him.

"Your Excellency, call me over early in the morning to see if there is a new development in the case. ”

Coming to the meeting room, Nangong Yan hurriedly asked.

"Nangong Shenzhu laughed, how can I have the ability to investigate the case of Shenzhu. I invite you to come over this time, I just want to ask Shen Zhu, how did you sleep well last night, how did you eat, but what you are not used to. ”

As soon as he said this, Nangong Yan understood what he wanted to express.

People who are now officials have a lot of energy. What's more, there is such a big murder here.

It can be said that his future promotion path is completely in the hands of Nangong Yan.

"Don't worry, my lord, I eat and live well here. I will seriously investigate the case, and you can rest assured as a parent official who asks for the people's life. ”

This sentence is like a life-saving talisman, which makes the prefect's heart stabilize all of a sudden.

Now that there is a guarantee, the prefect will no longer delay Nangong Yan's time.

Out of the yamen, Nangong Yan went to the scene of the crime that day-Jiafu and set off.

Ah Kong and Ah Man were both waiting for him at the entrance of the yamen, and when they saw him come out, they followed without saying a word.

"How?"

On the way, Nangong Yan used his real power to convey the words to Akong's ears.

"This Jia Quan, although he is a manager in the Yongle Gang, is peaceful and gets along well with the neighbors around him. His greatest hobby is to watch burlesque. ”

"As the manager of a force, there are no flaws in dealing with the world, but there are some suspicious ones. He watches burlesque, whether he only watches whichever one, or as long as it is burlesque, he watches it all. ”

According to his neighbors, whenever a burlesque troupe comes to perform here, he goes to see it. But what he likes to watch the most is the performance in the funny village ten miles outside the city. ”

"Funny Village? Listen to the name, it should be that the whole village is performing burlesque. ”

"Yes, this village has been performing burlesque for generations. And they are best known for their dwarf performances. ”

"Gnomes!"

"Yes, as long as this village comes to the city to perform, Jia Quan will invite people to his home. Because he has a distant relative in his family, who is also a dwarf. The two performed together, and even the prefect praised it. ”

"Hearing you say that, I'd like to see this dwarf's burlesque show too. ”

"Unfortunately, you can't see it anymore. ”

"Why?"

"He died a year ago. ”

For a long time, Nangong Yan felt that the destruction of the Jia family was not simple.

If Changle Palace wants to steal things, the more secretive the better. Since they can infiltrate the Yongle Gang, why are they stupid and killing people.

Changle Palace admitted that for the sake of Mingzhu, there was a battle with the Yongle Gang, and denied that it had obtained Mingzhu, but it did not mention anything about the destruction of the Jia family.

It is precisely because this Jia family is not ordinary that Nangong Yan asked Ah Kong to go to the Jia family secretly.

Jia Quan's identity and status in the city can be regarded as upper-middle.

Such a person has no flaws in life, if he doesn't deliberately show it, it means that Jia Quan's neighbor is telling a lie.

If Jia Quan behaves perfectly, it is impossible for Zhu Changle to just let him be a small steward, and it is impossible not to pay attention to this perfect person.

There are also dwarfs, which also makes Nangong Yan care a lot. The dog was killed instantly by someone who broke his neck.

Judging from the handprints on his neck, the palm of the other man's hand was only the size of a child.

It can be inferred from this that the murderer is likely to be a dwarf as well.

Hearing the dwarf, Nangong Yan thought of two words - Confucianism.
