The night was low, the moonlight was like water, sprinkling a cold silver light on the earth, and occasionally a cold wind blew, blowing the branches of the trees, and the black shadows on the ground were even more open.

After Zhou Yixuan sent Li Shijie and Su Kexin away, he returned to the study, but accidentally found that there seemed to be something hidden on the chair that Su Kexin had sat on, Zhou Yixuan hurriedly walked over to check, but before he could look carefully, the flames on the candlestick in the study were all extinguished, and the room was suddenly dark, and he could barely identify the direction by the moonlight that came in through the window.

Zhou Yixuan stiffened, and the next moment, he only felt a flash of cold light, a short sword was on his neck, the blade was close to the skin of his neck, he seemed to feel the pain of the blade cutting into the flesh, although Zhou Yixuan was a little surprised, but he was not afraid, he calmly looked at the black-clothed masked man in front of him who seemed to threaten his life, and frowned slightly, "Where are you from?

The short sword in the black-clothed masked man's hand tightened again, and he said coldly, "I don't know where the Zhou family master wants me?"

Zhou Yixuan squinted his eyes slightly, "Are you from Lingye Palace?" said as he said, a hand quietly touched his waist.

"Don't move. The short sword in the black-clad masked man's hand was closer to her neck, "Our lord said you were not honest, and it was true. ”

Zhou Yixuan raised his eyebrows, and his eyes seemed to see through the man in black, but all he saw was the indifference and looming threat in the eyes of the man in black, "I did my best to do things for the Lord, and I personally sent a housekeeper to visit the door two days ago." ”

The black-clothed masked man smiled coldly, the chill in his eyes unabated, "It's best to be able to do your best." But you also have to move faster, grinding, not like the temperament of the head of the Zhou family. ”

"I understand this, thank you for the reminder. ”

The black-clothed masked man took away the short sword in his hand, and one flew away without a trace, and then looked, the window opened a large crack, and the candle in the room was lit again, Zhou Yixuan secretly sighed in his heart that the people of Lingye Palace were too suspicious.

In a blink of an eye, he remembered the objects on the chair again, and walked over to check it again, and when he checked it, it was just a scrap of paper, and Zhou Yixuan scolded the rough work in the house in his heart when he didn't care when he sprinkled it.

The black-clothed masked man flew out of the Zhou Mansion and returned directly to the Hengxiang Inn, returning to his room from the backyard, the masked man took off the face covering, it turned out that the 'Lingye Palace Assassin' who had just mentioned Zhou Yixuan was actually Li Zifeng.

After listening to the conversation between Zhou Yixuan and Li Shijie, he broke into Zhou Yixuan's study pretending to be someone from Lingye Palace, wanting to know something from Zhou Yixuan, but Zhou Yixuan was too cautious, except for confirming that he was really colluding with Lingye Palace, he didn't seem to find any news.

But just now he took the opportunity to get something similar to a note from the chair Su Kexin was sitting on, Li Zifeng took out the note from his body, opened it and checked, there was only a black flower painted on it, and there was no other handwriting.

Li Zifeng sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that the cold rain protector of Lingye Palace is also ready to officially identify himself to Zhou Yixuan, and is ready to start participating in part of the Zhou family, and there will be a beauty pageant in two days......

The light of the fire on the candlestick fluttered slightly, spreading out of the circle of light and fading into a blur.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky only showed a faint light, the gate of Wei'an City slowly opened, and immediately there were pedestrians carrying burdens into the city gate, choosing a better location to set up stalls, only looking forward to the passing outsiders, and the local small traders had already begun to make a living for the day.

Li Zifeng came to Cai's wonton shop again and asked for a bowl of wontons stuffed with wild vegetables and pork, the boss Cai Kun took advantage of the opportunity to serve the wontons and handed a token-shaped thing to Li Zifeng, this thing is the silver order that Li Zifeng needs, Li Zifeng finished eating the wontons, nodded to Cai Kun with a smile, and put down a silver ingot on the table.

At the beginning of the year, the pedestrians on the street gradually increased, the shouting and shouting of small traders came and went, and Hongtai Qian Zhuang was dressed in gorgeous silk and had a rich face of merchants. In the opposite corner, there was a stall holder who covered his face with a hat and took a nap against the corner, ignoring the items on the stall.

Li Zifeng stared at this strange vendor for a long time, and always felt that this scene was familiar, and after a while, he suddenly realized that he walked over tentatively, as expected, his stall was selling folding fans, and selling folding fans in winter, no wonder he was so bored that he took a nap.

It's just that it seems that the stall owner is napping, I don't know what is going on in my head, this person is one of the people on the list, there is the ability to repair the plank road in the bright and dark, and the nickname is 'Dark Man', Li Zifeng squatted down and picked up the folding fan with great interest, which attracted the sideways of passers-by.

Li Zifeng picked up a folding fan and unfolded it, there was a landscape painting on the fan surface, and the name seal was stamped below, the name was very unfamiliar, it should not be a famous person, Li Zifeng played with the folding fan, and asked, "How to sell this fan?"

"Five taels of silver. The stall owner took off the hat covering his face, lazily stretched out his palm and made a gesture of 'five', but Li Zifeng clearly saw that his outstretched right hand only had four fingers!

Li Zifeng chuckled, "It's just a folding fan, and it's not a masterpiece on the fan, so five taels of silver is too much, right?"

"Huh?" The stall owner sat up straight and looked at Li Zifeng with strange eyes, Li Zifeng also stared at him, the stall owner was a rough man in his early thirties, wearing a gray cloth coat, one eye, and the other eye was covered with a black blindfold, with a rough appearance, but there was a bit of simplicity in his eyes, the stall owner laughed and said, "Then how much can you pay?"

"Four taels of silver..."

The stall owner's other eye narrowed slightly, and he looked at Li Zifeng tentatively, "You kid is very interesting, for a tael of silver, grinding with me here?"

Li Zifeng smiled nonchalantly, "Our family master needs a folding fan, he said that he only paid four taels of silver, and I am just an errand runner." ”

"Are you Boss Shen's family?"

Li Zifeng nodded, and the stall owner continued, "That being the case, the fan was sold to you for four taels of silver." But this fan doesn't work, I'll change it for you. After that, the stall owner rummaged through the small sack of linen he carried with him, took out another folding fan from it and handed it to Li Zifeng, "Put it away, it will help you." ”

"Thank you. Li Zifeng put four taels of silver on the stall owner's slightly rough palm, and the stall owner collected the silver and reminded, "The steward of Hongtai Qianzhuang is a good person, and it is not easy to deceive." ”

"Thanks for the reminder. Li Zifeng accepted the folding fan, "There is something, I want to ask for help." ”

After hearing this, the stall owner squinted at Li Zifeng with one eye, "Do you mean the beauty pageant in two days? ”

"I want to ask you to secretly rescue those forced girls......"

Hengxiang Inn is secretly doing the business of Qinglou, and those girls who were forced to pageant are naturally victims, Li Zifeng wants to ask this 'dark man' to use his skills to quietly rescue them. The stall owner happily agreed.

What Li Zifeng didn't expect was that with the help of the dark people, and by the way, after rescuing some wealthy businessmen and some powerful people from other places, he once again dismantled the conspiracy of Lingye Palace.

The stall owner took out a seal from his body and forcibly stuffed it to Li Zifeng, "Take it, it's used in Hongtai Qianzhuang." Seeing that Li Zifeng was still hesitating, his face was full of impatience, "Don't ask you for money!"

Li Zifeng couldn't help but wonder......
