Prime Minister's Mansion, Secret Room

Li Zifeng paced slowly, raising his hand and groping for the wall and the gilded sconces hanging on it, as if he was looking for something. He regretted it a little, he should have taken advantage of Wan Ziyu's departure to find the approximate location of the Shimen organ.

At this time, not far from his ears, there was the sound of the stone gate flipping, followed by the familiar footsteps, Li Zifeng could hear that it was Uncle Shen who had returned.

Li Zifeng looked like a child who had done something wrong, and hurriedly put down his hand and stood up, and said with a sneer, "Uncle Shi is back? I think it's rare to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion once, and I want to know what the wall lamps in the house look like, so I'll just... This lamp must be beautiful, right?"

Listening to the lame explanation, Shen Zhiping's eyes were slightly red, how could he not know that Li Zifeng was looking for a mechanism to open the door and wanted to go out. Li Zifeng is now like an eagle with broken wings, having to let others trap him in a cage and live a tormented life, but he is thinking about flying out all the time in his heart.

Shen Zhiping silently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, stepped forward to help Li Zifeng walk to the round table and sit down, poured a glass of water and handed it over, "Don't worry, it's noon, when the sun is full, it is not conducive to the recovery of your eyes, and later, I will take you out for a walk." ”

"The sun is shining... It seems that today is a sunny day, there should be a moon at night, right?" Li Zifeng held the teacup, the corners of his mouth hooked up a good-looking smile, and his tone was full of anticipation, "Qingyun likes to see the moon the most, ...... every night"

Li Zifeng was a little choked, he always promised to accompany Qingyun to climb to the top of Hengshan to see the moon, but every time he was delayed because he was busy, but now all this has become a luxury.

Shen Zhiping's nose was sour, "If you want to clear the luck, I'll quietly take him out......"

"Don't..."Li Zifeng refused without hesitation, "We are 'dead people' now, let's have less contact with the sect! Besides, I am like this, don't scare him anymore." ”

Shen Zhiping sighed heavily, Li Zifeng drank a glass of water, and pretended to be relaxed, "Uncle Shi, can I get any interesting news?"

"Your master..."Shen Zhiping hesitated and changed his title, "I mean the master, he has already sent several groups of secret guards to look for our traces. Shen Zhiping sighed lightly, "I'm afraid he never admitted from his heart that we were 'dead'..."

When it came to Ouyang Ze, Li Zifeng had mixed feelings in his heart, and his brows couldn't help but tighten, "Why bother?"

Shen Zhiping looked at it, full of distress, "Okay, let's not talk about this." Let's talk about those two banks! The Hongtai Bank and Datong Bank that you tracked before have been very quiet in the past two days. Merchants are normal, and the flow of money is normal. It seems that there was too much movement before, and now under the heavy pressure, he has to rein in his wings. ”

"It's not easy to find their flaws. Li Zifeng sighed slightly, "The Prime Minister came just now, it seems to be gentle, but the words are a little bit more mental." ”

Shen Zhiping smiled deeply, "The drunkard doesn't mean to drink, it seems that the situation of the government and the opposition is already a little delicate, so the prime minister needs us 'dead people' to do something that is inconvenient for him to come forward." ”

At this time, the stone gate flipped again, and Shen Hongfei and Lingxi came back together, carrying a fishy smell. Shen Hongfei walked to the table, without saying a word, he poured a large glass of water by himself, and after drinking the water, he wiped his mouth and complained, "What the hell is this weather, hot and cold." ”

Li Zifeng couldn't help but laugh, and fanned his nose in disgust, "Brother Shen, is this going to be a fisherman?"

Lingxi put the basket of fruits in his hand on the table, and smiled with a smile on his face, "It's not! It's difficult for us Shen Gongzi, this fish seller has sold the fish directly to the door of the Qingping Palace." ”

"What?" Shen Zhiping and Li Zifeng were a little incredulous.

"What are you doing with such surprise? I've always been measured. Shen Hongfei then picked up the fruit in the basket and nibbled on himself, "No, I found that his guard Chang Ning sneaked out of the palace." ”

Later, I pretended to be a fruit seller and followed him all the way, and found that he went straight to a teahouse not far away, and went in for a long time before coming out. Lingxi said, picked an apple and handed it to Li Zifeng.

"The guards of the palace went to the teahouse to drink tea, but it was a little interesting. Li Zifeng pinched the apple and played with it, carefully pondering the reason, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, looked in the direction of Shen Zhiping and quipped, "Uncle Shi promised the disciple just now, take me out later to breathe." ”

Shen Hongfei and Lingxi didn't know what to do, and they only looked at Shen Zhiping on the side and sighed silently helplessly......

Hengshan School Shangqingyuan Study

At noon, the breeze was not cold, and the abundant sunlight passed through the slightly open window cracks, sprinkling a large patch of mottled light and shadow in the study.

Six days have passed since receiving Shen Zhiping and Li Zifeng's belongings, and the people who have been scattered in the past six days have been dialed one after another, hoping to find some clues in Wei'an City, even if they can bring back their bones, but six days have passed, and no substantive news has been transmitted.

Six days... Ouyang Ze sighed deeply, two lines of tears slowly flowed, almost overnight, half of the green silk in his hair was dyed with hoarfrost, and the sunlight outside seemed to have changed direction, chasing Ouyang Ze's eyes, Ouyang Ze blinked in disgust, changed his posture again, and avoided the sun.

At this time, at the screen in the corner, a faint figure appeared, it was Ouyang Ze's secret guard beside him, Ouyang Ze didn't lift his eyelids, he was still stroking the jade pendant and the night pearl in his hand, and he sighed tiredly for a long time, and his voice was much lower, "Still no news?"

"Subordinate......" Yu Hao hesitated for a long time, "Before the Hengxiang Inn walked out of the water, the Prime Minister's Mansion sent someone to secretly follow Gongzi, and it is said that Gongzi also talked to their secret guard head-on. ”

Ouyang Ze looked at the figure behind the screen, and his tone was a little displeased, "It is said?"

Yi Hao's figure paused, "The head of the family forgives the sin, this is from the mouth of a person named Ada in the Liang family's silver shop in Wei'an City, and the authenticity of it is not easy for subordinates to judge." ”

Ouyang Ze frowned, "What else?"

Yi Hao continued to reply, "After the Hengxiang Inn went out of the water, the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion also sent people to the scene to investigate. Been rummaging through the pile of corpses. ”

"Result?" Ouyang Ze clenched the object in his hand.

"The head of the family forgives the sin, and his subordinates have sent people to guard the city secretly. Yi Hao quickly finished saying this, he obviously heard that Ouyang Ze's tone was a little unkind, and he didn't dare to hesitate any longer.

Ouyang Ze didn't seem to pay attention to Yu Hao's gaffe, and continued to ask, "What about Hongyuan Villa?"

Yu Hao was like being amnestied, and his tone was a little brisker, "Li Shijie and Su Kexin also appeared in Wei'an City, when the officers and soldiers of Wei'an City surrounded Hengxiang Inn, Li Shijie also appeared, looking very sad, and then he quarreled with Su Kexin, who was traveling with him, and the two broke up unhappily. ”

"Su Kexin..."Ouyang Ze repeated in a low voice, after years of secret investigation of Hongyuan Villa, he always felt that there was something wrong with Su Kexin, so he sent someone to keep an eye on him, but Su Kexin was too cautious and almost didn't show any flaws, Ouyang Ze's eyebrows were dark, "It must be that Li Shijie discovered some of Su Kexin's secrets, or that Hengxiang Inn was the one who did it." ”

"Previously, he secretly investigated with Yingwei that Hongtai Money Village and Datong Money Village in Wei'an City had money exchanges, and Li Shijie and Su Kexin also went back and forth between the two money houses many times. Childe has also been checking before. ”

Ouyang Ze understood a little in his heart, presumably Li Zifeng was sharp and inadvertently touched the interests of some people, so they sent Lingye Palace killers to poison them, Li Zifeng only cared about saving those children of the family and merchants, so much so that he neglected his own safety. Ouyang Ze sighed heavily, and the bottom of his heart was like a huge stone that was about to be crushed.

"Master?" Yi Hao shouted tentatively.

Ouyang Ze rubbed his sore forehead and said tiredly, "I'm fine, continue to send people to keep an eye on the movements of Wei Ancheng, and as soon as there is news, you can report it!"

"Yes, the subordinates retired. Yu Hao disappeared again and disappeared.

Ouyang Ze pondered for a long time, raised his hand, turned the flying eagle bronze ring representing the identity of the head, and took it off vigorously, since taking over the position of the head, this ring has never left his finger, after taking it off, the original position of the ring has turned white. Ouyang Ze sighed, put the Flying Eagle Bronze Ring into the wooden box, and put it into the dark grid.

Ouyang Ze took off the black clothes on his body, changed into ordinary clothes, opened the door of the study, greeted the sun and breeze, and went straight to Jingzhuxuan.
