That night, one fat and one thin, one in front of the other, took some incense, candles, paper money, and walked into an uninhabited courtyard in the corner of the Guangyi Marquis's mansion.

One is Jiang Jingchu, the Marquis of Guangyi, who has been plagued with bad luck recently, and the other is the sword who is not very majestic, not very tall, and has no hair on the top.

The courtyard here is remote, overgrown with weeds, snakes, rats and poisonous insects are not lacking, and very few people come during the day, let alone this windy night.

As Jian Wuzhen spilled a handful of paper money in his hand, the entire courtyard looked even more eerie.

The only hut, the broken window lattice, creaked in the wind.

There was nothing else in the precincts, only two broken stone Buddha statues that reached to the waist.

Guang Yihou removed the key hanging from his neck and opened the old bronze lock, which was already a little rusty.

I really don't understand, this broken window is enough for people to come in, so why bother to put in such a big lock.

There are not many furnishings in the room, only an unnamed tablet and a table with a missing leg.

Most of the offerings on the table are rotten and rotten, and it is obvious that no one has come to worship for a long time.

Guangyihou casually picked up two fairly clean Zen mats and handed one to Jian Wuzheng: "A lot of things have been lost in the mansion in the past few days. ”

The sword is indisputable, regardless of whether it is clean or not, and he took it and stuffed it under his buttocks: "Within five days, there will be seven waves of people, three Jinyi Weisan, two in Washington, and one of Wang Xie's two families." ”

"Heh, and the Xie family?" Jiang Jingchu moved his ass slightly, squinted and smiled: "I didn't expect this." It seems that my brothers-in-law and brother-in-law can't bear it anymore. ”

"Looking for me this time, do you want me to find something that shouldn't have been lost, or do you want me to send back someone who doesn't open your eyes?"

Jiang Jingchu laughed: "No, no, no, I just haven't talked to you for a long time, so I'm looking for something to talk about casually." ”

Jian Wuzheng obviously got used to it for a long time, and he didn't talk to him, so he sat on the side.

In the middle of the night, Guang Yihou took out a palm-sized small wine gourd from his arms and threw it away.

Jian Wuzheng's backhand shook slightly, and in terms of sound, it was estimated that it was less than half of the amount.

Since ancient times, there has been no such thing as using leftover wine as a gift, but Jiang Jingchu obviously never felt embarrassed: "There is no dispute, I have only half a bottle of wine in Shu over the years, you can keep it, and make a thought in the future." ”

"I don't drink," he said, Jian Wuzheng hesitated, and still stuffed the slightly warm wine gourd into his arms: "Do you think you can't survive this time?"

"If the one in Beijing can survive, I will survive. If he wanted to kill me, he wouldn't use that method. Guangyihou's words caused Jian Wuzheng to sneer, and Guangyihou was not in a hurry to argue, but stated a fact: "It's not that I am confident, it's just that a good official like Li Jing is reluctant." ”

The sword was noncommittal, but he obviously didn't want to fight with Guangyihou on this issue, so he changed the topic and said: "The stone slabs transported outside the city have been broken, and the traces in the city are not very obvious. I can only roughly know that it is a masculine swordsmanship, but if it is more specific, I can't find out. “

In this regard, Guang Yihou seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and stretched his waist indifferently: "Even you can't find out the killer's martial arts path, and other people's families must not be able to find out." Since everyone is blind, let's wait and see what happens. “

For this method of shrinking the head of the turtle, Jian Wuzheng sneered mercilessly, "This is your response?"

Guang Yihou, who stretched his waist, looked particularly refreshed: "Of course you can't sit still." There are many shallow kings in the pool, and the muddy fish are easy to catch. This water will bother you. “

This night is destined to be very lively in Huaiyin City, first of all, the Guangyi Hou Mansion was robbed, and the big seal of the Guangyi Hou was stolen.

After searching the city for nearly an hour, the thief still escaped, but fortunately, the big seal was picked up.

Finally, when the big guy calmed down and was ready to sleep, there was another shout from Xiao Mansion to catch the thief.

Everyone searched inside and out, and almost turned the Xiao Mansion upside down, but the thief didn't catch it, but they bumped into Xiao Erye, who was sleeping soundly in the room of the family's owner's concubine. Old Man Xiao ordered to block the news with an iron face, but this ugly incident was like having wings, and it had already spread all over the streets and alleys before dawn.

The second day was not peaceful, the Wang family, the largest rice merchant in Huaiyin City, borrowed ten carriages from the Zhang family to transport the rice, cotton and other goods harvested this autumn, and when they left the city at noon, they met Song Tong, who personally investigated the theft of the Guangyi Hou's Mansion last night.

This search didn't matter, and an object was found that made both sides turn pale.

An ivory waist card engraved with the words "Thousand Households" on the right side of Jinyi Wei.

It is rumored that the search at that time was quick to catch a mother, and her legs went weak and urinated out.

Now the Zhang and Wang families are in a panic, and no one can say where this waist card came from.

In addition, some of the 'good deeds' of the rest of the families that would rather be known than seen by others were smashed by various accidents.

The only Huai'an Hou Mansion in Huaiyin City that has not gone wrong is particularly dazzling.
