Chapter 267: An Unexpected Guest Arrives (1)

Shen Guhong's expression was straight, and he said, "If I say it's all true, will you believe it?"

Xiao Qinghu glanced at Shen Guhong suspiciously, which means: It's strange to believe you.

Mi Fang had already sorted out the things in the kitchen at this time, so she walked over and said, "Let you be more serious, look, no one believes you now, you deserve it!"

Yingting and Xiao Qing listened to Mi Fang's words, and only then did they believe that what Shen Guhong said was not false, he bought this house, and after getting married, he still had about 200,000 taels of silver in his hand, and there were also gifts from people who came to eat and drink, which added up to a lot of wealth, and he said at the moment: "Those thieves really came to me to steal things?

Shen Guhong's expression suddenly became serious, and he said, "The thief who came last night is an ordinary thief!"

"Where do you start with that?" Yingting's face was full of doubts.

Shen Guhong told what happened last night, and directly shocked Yingting and Xiao Qing speechlessly, if it wasn't for the black man who poisoned last night and was discovered by Shen Guhong, wouldn't all the people who are eating here today want to die with a whimper?

"It must be the Yama Palace, apart from them, who would have such a vicious heart?" Ying Ting's face was a little ugly, he really didn't expect that on the day of his wedding, he was patronized by the Yama Palace.

Shen Guhong shook his head and said: "There are a lot of weirdness in this process, and it's hard to make a conclusion now!"

"Who else but them?" Xiao Qing obviously agreed with Ying Ting.

Several people were talking, but at this moment, a hearty voice came: "Is Brother Yingting here?"

As soon as Shen Guhong heard it, he knew that it was Wen Yongjie who had arrived. At that moment, the four of them walked out of the back courtyard together, passed the lobby, and came to the gate. Yingting opened the door, but saw Wen Yongjie standing at the gate with a smile on her face. There were two more people standing beside him, one of whom was middle-aged, of medium stature, and holding a long knife in his hand, while the other was forty-five or sixteen years old, and rather burly.

When Shen Guhong saw the burly man, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Master Kou?"

It turned out that the two people who came with Wen Yongjie were none other than Kou Zhun, the prime minister of the dynasty, and his guard Ouyang Han.

Yingting and Xiao Qing were also shocked when they heard Shen Guhong's title, the Xiao family also had a relationship in the court, and the relationship with Kou Zhun was not bad, and Mo Qingfeng and Kou Zhun were also friends. But in any case, a person of Kou Zhun's status rarely attends other people's weddings under normal circumstances, although he is coming on the second day, how much face does this give the Xiao family?

Yingting came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Lord Kou, please!"

Kou Zhun smiled slightly and said, "This time, because I was in a hurry, I didn't bring any good gifts, so let's go!"

When Kou Zhun spoke, Ouyang Han handed Xiao Qing a box, Yingting was a little panicked, couldn't help touching his head, and said, "Where! Lord Kou can come, the mansion is really full of splendor!"

Shen Guhong didn't expect Yingting to pull up the text at this time, and couldn't help but smile softly. Kou Zhun saw Yingting's uncomfortable appearance, and also smiled. Wen Yongjie also gave her gift to Xiao Qing at this time, and then asked, "Is Mr. Mo here?"

"Master is here!" replied Yingting.

"I didn't expect Master Kou to come too!" As soon as Ying Ting finished speaking, Mo Qingfeng's voice came from the room.

Kou Zhun saw Mo Qingfeng and said with a smile: "Go in and talk!"

A group of people entered the gate, Xiao Qing and Yingting were busy arranging everything, and Mi Fang also went to help. Shen Guhong and Mo Qingfeng invited Ouyang Han, Wen Yongjie, and Kou Zhun to their room, and several people sat around the table. Mo Qingfeng spoke first: "Lord Kou won't make a special trip to eat the wedding wine, right?"

When Kou Zhun heard this, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he said, "Your Majesty sent me out to find the exquisite treasure box left by Master Lu Tianji Lu!"

Shen Guhong exclaimed: "What?"

"Could it be that you also know about the Linglong Treasure Box?" Wen Yongjie asked when he saw Shen Guhong's shocked face.

Shen Guhong said: "I know, but that thing shouldn't be in Jinling!"

Ouyang Han said: "You don't know, the courtyard you bought was originally the Lu family's property, and it was transferred to Yingting's hands after two hands!"

Shen Guhong was taken aback again and said, "That means that you came here today to find the Linglong Treasure Box?"

Kou Zhun nodded: "That's right!"

Shen Guhong sighed and said, "I participated in the renovation of this courtyard, and I am extremely familiar with every corner of it, there is no exquisite treasure box here!"

Mo Qingfeng said: "Your Majesty actually sent you out to find the treasure box in person, it seems that there are many things he knows!"

Kou Zhun said: "Those things that Emperor Taizu did, the royal family naturally knows, and His Majesty is also worried, if the Linglong treasure box falls into the hands of the gangsters, the consequences are really unimaginable!"

Shen Guhong said: "Is there really a way to open the brocade box in the treasure box?"

Kou Zhun looked straight and said, "Now it seems that this is indeed the case. ”

"The villain that Lord Kou is talking about is the Ghost Face Yama, right? Could it be that Lord Kou has already found out the true identity of the Ghost Face Yama?" Shen Guhong said.

Kou Zhun said: "Although it has not been ascertained, it has been generally affirmed that he is either surnamed Chai or Zhao, and there will be no third possibility!"

Shen Guhong said: "Yes, he may still be from Liao!"

When Kou Zhun and Ouyang Han heard this, their colors changed, and Kou Zhun said, "Are you very sure?"

Shen Guhong glanced at Mo Qingfeng, obviously he didn't tell Kou Zhun all the things about the Yama Palace, so he said: "No, but the relationship between the ghost-faced Yama and the Empress Dowager Xiao is by no means ordinary, this is what Wang Yu said personally!"

"Wang Yu, didn't he die a long time ago?" Ouyang Han exclaimed.

Mo Qingfeng said: "He only died last year, and when he died, Xuan'er was by his side." I wanted to tell you about this last time in Bianjing, but a lot of things happened at that time, and I didn't have time to do it!"

Kou Zhun said: "Now it seems that many things have become complicated!"

"If you can't find the Linglong Treasure Box, what will the Holy Lord do with you?" Shen Guhong suddenly asked.

Kou Zhun said: "It's okay, the saint just suspects that the Linglong treasure box is in this house, if not, I can go back to Beijing!"

When Shen Guhong heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, he did not tell Kou Zhun the news that Mrs. Mei of Plum Blossom Villa was the daughter of Lu Tianji, no matter what, he didn't want a paradise like Plum Blossom Villa to be involved in disputes between the rivers and lakes and the court.

"Since you're here, let's stay for a few days before leaving, otherwise it won't be easy to cross paths with the saint when you go back!" Mo Qingfeng said.

Kou Zhun smiled: "Of course, but I'm going to bother Brother Mo!"

"What are you and I doing so politely, let's go and see if their breakfast is ready!" Mo Qingfeng said.

Shen Guhong couldn't help but tremble when he heard Mo Qingfeng's words, because at this time, he suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, those people who poisoned last night may not be aimed at Yingting and the martial arts people who came to eat and drink, but Kou Zhun, the prime minister of the dynasty. If this is the case, those people probably know Kou Zhun's itinerary and purpose well, and they know that there is no exquisite treasure box in this house.

"What's wrong with you?" Wen Yongjie couldn't help but ask when she saw Shen Guhong's shocked look.

Shen Guhong asked Kou Zhun directly, "How many people are there on Master Kou's trip? Besides, who else knows about your visit to Jinling?"

"What's wrong?" Kou Zhun had a look of doubt in his eyes.

Shen Guhong said: "Someone wants to be unfavorable to Master Kou?"

"What? Who's it, I'm going to kill him!" Ouyang Han said with a long knife in his hand.

Shen Guhong said: "I'm just speculating, there is no evidence yet!"

Ouyang Han said: "It's okay, I will not leave Lord Kou an inch!"

Shen Guhong nodded, and instantly fell into deep thought.

Kou Zhun said at this time: "In addition to Ouyang Han and me, there are a few entourages on this trip, but I arranged for them to inquire about the matter! As for our coming to Jinling, no one should know about it except Your Majesty!"

"No, there's still me, and Brother Ouyang!" Wen Yongjie said.

Kou Zhun said: "Ouyang Han has no problem, I dare to guarantee this, he knows everything he doesn't do!"

When Ouyang Han heard this, a look of emotion flashed in his eyes, and at that moment he had secretly sworn that even if he lost his life, he would keep Kou Zhun safe.

Shen Guhong couldn't help but glance at Ouyang Han a few more times, and said, "Then can they come over for dinner at noon?"

Kou Zhun understood what he meant, nodded and said, "I told them, we will meet here at noon!"

Shen Guhong said: "Okay, then we have to make the meal!"

Kou Zhun listened, and just smiled slightly. Out of the house, Shen Guhong led Wen Yongjie towards the courtyard at the back of the house.

"Why did Brother Wen come to Jinling with Master Kou?" asked Shen Guhong.

Wen Yongjie knew that Shen Guhong was not suspicious of him when he asked like this, but that Kou Zhun received a secret order, and it stands to reason that Wen Yongjie's identity is not qualified to participate.

Wen Yongjie said: "We also met halfway, Lord Kou is not shy about me, he said everything, that's it, I only stay with Lord Kou, many things will be easy to explain, such as what you said today!"

Shen Guhong nodded: "In your opinion, who is going to attack Lord Kou? Their purpose is to deal with Lord Kou, or to prevent him from looking for the Linglong Treasure Box, or both?"

Wen Yongjie shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, there is another reason why I came this time, according to reliable information, the coffin bearer has recently appeared in Jinling again, I wonder if it will have anything to do with the Su family's extermination case!"

Shen Guhong said: "The Su family's extermination case, whether it is Su Yi or Miss Mochou, they all believe that Ye Qianhua is the mastermind behind the scenes, maybe only by finding the living dead and taking him down, can we get useful news from his mouth!"

"That's right!" Wen Yongjie's expression was also very serious, this case had trapped him for nearly twenty years, and he didn't know if he could fulfill Mo Chou's last wish in his life.
