On the second day, I washed up and dressed up, went out of the room, went downstairs, and came to the hall on the first floor for breakfast.

Yun Qinglin and Pan Yuchen were already seated, and there were a lot of food on the table, including fried dough sticks, bean curd, soy milk, and rice noodles. Guan Xingyi also greeted the shop staff at the next table to order.

"What happened last night? I heard a lot of noise outside, and it sounded scary. ”

Finally, someone was talking about last night's movements. I pricked up my ears and listened carefully.

"Something happened to the Yongtai Inn, and two passing merchants were killed, and all the money on them was gone. ”

"Being targeted? so ruthlessly?

"It looks like yes, a knife kills, and the shot is very neat. ”

"Where did the merchant come from?

"Hongcheng came over there, the yamen is still investigating, and the specific situation is not very clear now. ”

"It's really pitiful, the old saying is true: if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves!"

"It's better to keep a low profile when you're away from home. ”

"Then again, how much money did those two merchants bring that led to their deaths?"

"Who knows, I heard that looking at the clothes doesn't look like a lot of money. ”

"It's hard to say, maybe they have a thick family, but they are just dressed up in disguise to hide people's eyes. ”

"Hehe, then why don't you say that they are not actually merchants?"

"Or buddy, you have a lot of imagination, I, that is, just guess, what the truth is, see how the yamen judges. ”

Later, there were people discussing it one after another, but the content was similar to what these people said.

I began to wonder if the two merchants I met in the Manpan Fragrant Restaurant were the two victims they were talking about, and if so, the man in the gray shirt yesterday had nothing to do with it. What is the name of the man in the gray shirt? Yan Ke The son of Jinyi Villa?

The two businessmen are fine, but now that something has happened, a little analysis will consider it to be a case of extermination. The reason why they were killed was because they recognized Yan Ke?

Yun Qinglin didn't seem to want to get involved in this matter, he didn't let Guan Xingyi inquire about it, nor did he talk to us, but only told us to go back to our rooms to pack our bags and gather in the front yard in two quarters of an hour.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that there was not a simple case behind it.

Two businessmen in the Manpanxiang Restaurant once said that Jinyi Villa had received a notice of assassination, and the signature on the notice was three characters, the first two of which were Chentian; I met a black-clothed masked man in Dongshan in Lincheng, Liuzhou, who claimed to be the client of the task of the Soul Order, and his name was Chen Tianling; there were two masters of Yanyunjian back then, and they were a pair of brothers, the eldest brother was named Chen Tianling, and the second brother was called Chen Tianyu, but fifteen years ago, Yun Yuelang and others had already invaded Yanyunjian, and all the people in Yanyunjian had committed suicide by swallowing poison; among the sects and individuals related to the Yanyunjian mission, there was no Jinyi Villa and Yan Hua, the owner of Jinyi Villa。

Could it be that there is an unknown connection between Jinyi Villa and Yanyun Stream?

The two merchants also mentioned that Jinyi Villa secretly did some business with dead people, and it was all business that could not see the light. Could it be that Jinyi Villa got the items that belonged to Yanyunjian?

I suddenly remembered the real purpose of my visit to Yunfu. Could it be that Jinyi Villa is also the same as Yunfu?

I walked to the window and looked at the stargazing pavilion in the distance.

Suddenly, I remembered that last night, I was also standing in front of this window looking at the stargazing pavilion in the distance, when a person strolled downstairs. I only sighed at the beauty of the stargazing pavilion, and didn't look at the person carefully. Now I try to remember, how can I feel that the back of the person last night is familiar, as if it was the gray-shirted man I met in the full plate of fragrant rice in the restaurant, Yan Ke.

The assassination notice received by Jinyi Villa clearly stated that the agreed date was the first day of the first lunar month, that is, today.

I clenched my left hand into a fist, struck on the windowsill, turned around and came to the desk, poured a spoonful of white water into the inkstone, grinded, and left a message to Yun Qinglin: I have another appointment, see you in Wensi Villa, Lizhou Mansion in seven days. Lan Shangyu.

After pressing the paper, I picked up my luggage, jumped in front of the window, landed in the courtyard, trotted a few steps, and flew up the fence. Pick up the stone prepared in your hand, first flick it hard at the window frame of Yun Qinglin's room, and then pick up one and bounce it at the window frame of my room.

Then I jumped off the fence and disappeared into the depths of the alley.

Asking all the way, I found the location of Jinyi Villa, fastened my luggage on my back, and I quietly entered the villa.

I hid on the eaves, uncovered a roof tile, and quietly observed.

In the study, Yan Hua, the owner of Jinyi Villa, held his hands behind his back and looked at a letter written in red pen on the table with a frown:

Yan Hua, the owner of Jinyi Villa, privately occupied and used the holy relics of Yanyunjian.

On the first day of the first lunar month, he will take his life.

Chen Tianyu

The signature on the assassination notice is Chen Tianyu, the second in line, Chen Tianling's younger brother. From this point of view, it is not a coincidence that the black-clothed masked man claims to be Chen Tianling, then there are only two possibilities: either they are really Chen Tianling and Chen Tianyu brothers themselves, or they are just borrowing these two names and borrowing the name of Yanyunjian to stir up trouble again.

"Daddy. With the sound of the door opening, a young man with a beautiful face walked in.

This person's appearance, I have seen it for the first time, but it does not look like the first time I have seen him. I have an impression of his figure, because he is Yan Ke, the son of Jinyi Villa, whom we met on the official road.

"No anomalies found?" Yan Hua asked. He looked up at the sky outside the window, it didn't rain often in Shicheng, but at this time, a dark cloud drifted above Jinyi Villa.

"Yes, Dad, there is no abnormality in the village for the time being. ”

Yan Hua sighed, closed the window, walked to the desk and sat down.

Yan Ke's expression was extremely relaxed, and he smiled: "Could it be that someone deliberately made a joke with us?"

"Nonsense! This kind of thing can also be joked!" It could be seen from Yan Hua's expression that he himself was lucky, but he still glared at Yan Ke.

Yan Hua was about to open his mouth to scold Yan Ke, when footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and he walked towards the study without hurrying or slow.

The father and son glanced at each other, Yan Ke was stunned, and opened his mouth to say something, Yan Hua stretched out his hand to signal him not to make a sound, and asked him to come behind him and hide behind the screen.

Yan Hua rearranged his clothes, took a deep breath, and sat upright in his chair.

There was a "bang" and the door was pushed open.

Coming in was a woman of medium height, dressed in a robe with white flowers on a red background. This woman herself is bright-looking, and at this time her face is painted with bright rouge, so the whole face looks extremely charming, very incomparable. If there are demons and monsters in this world, she is a demon girl now.

I know her, she is in the Pan family courtyard in Lincheng, Liuzhou, pretending to be a wild goose Baiyun. Bai Yun is good at using long whips, and she also has a slightly taller twin sister named Bai Shui, who is proficient in swordsmanship.

Yan Hua's face was obviously surprised, maybe he didn't expect Chen Tianyu to be a woman, a bewitching woman.

After a burst of laughter like a copper bell, Bai Yun looked at Yan Hua contemptuously, and at the same time kept playing with her equally beautiful nails, she said: "I thought that Lord Yan Zhuang would lead everyone to greet me at the entrance of the villa, but I didn't want to, Lord Yan Zhuang sat here quietly and pondered." Haha, haha. ”

There was annoyance in Yan Hua's eyes, and he couldn't tolerate the other party's rude behavior.

"Is the girl Chen Tianyu?" he asked, suppressing his anger.

Bai Yun raised his eyes, looked at Yan Hua with disdain, frowned slightly, and that contemptuous smile appeared on his face again: "Why, you took the holy relics of Yanyunjian and still don't know who Lord Chen is?"

Yan Hua gritted his teeth, tried to be patient, and defended: "I have many items in my hands, but I never know what the holy relics of Yanyunjian are. ”

"I heard that Lord Yan Zhuang's legs and feet were very inconvenient, and he couldn't walk more than 100 steps a day. I don't know what kind of way I got to walk like an ordinary person?" asked with a smile on Bai Yun's face.

Yan Hua trembled, as if he had been poked in the sore spot. He tried to explain, but was ultimately silent.

"If it's okay to be above board, it's just that some methods are too vicious and harmful to others and ourselves, and we won't do it. There are words in Bai Yun's words, and every sentence directly refers to Yan Hua's unknown behavior.

"Is the girl alone?" Yan Hua suddenly raised his head and asked.

"Haha, haha. ”

Bai Yun smiled, turned his gaze to the window, and said, "To deal with rats like you, I am enough alone, so why waste other people's physical strength?"

At this time, it must be the best time for Yan Hua to take the initiative.

Suddenly, Bai Yun turned her head back and looked at Yan Hua, with that contemptuous smile on her face, she said, "You didn't take the initiative to hand over the holy relics of Yanyunjian, I'm very dissatisfied. In this way, one life will be changed to two lives. ”

Yan Hua's face changed drastically, and he tried his best to hide the panic in his heart.

Bai Yun laughed loudly, raised her right hand and flicked it, only to see a silver light fly out of her cuffs and rush towards the screen behind Yan Hua.

I was also taken aback and realized that my hands were already in my hands. Forget it, forget it, I told myself. On the eaves, no matter how fast the light work is, it can't catch up with the silver needle.

Hey, silver needle, see silver needle again.

"Ke'er!" Yan Hua shouted weakly. He got up to stop it, but unfortunately, the speed of the silver light was too fast, and he could only hear the sound of his son falling to the ground in pain.

"You slut! I want you to take your life!" Yan Hua looked at Bai Yun fiercely and said.

Before Bai Yun could make a move, Yan Hua's figure suddenly stopped, his whole body lost support, and he fell to the ground.

My chest tightened, and I quickly steadied my breathing.

"How long are you going to stay in there? Bai Yun cut his hair and said sideways.

Behind the screen, his clothes trembled, and when he came out, it was Yan Ke, the son of Jinyi Villa, who should have been killed. His gaze was cold, his expression was determined, and he was not at all reckless and cynical as he had just been.

"It's rare that you don't have to perform for a while, so you don't allow me to rest for a while?" Yan Ke hooked the corners of his mouth, sat on Yan Hua's chair, crossed his legs, kicked off the precious inkstone on the table, and put it on the table.

"Come on, you have also enjoyed the treatment of other people's sons, how tired can you be after playing a little?" Bai Yun's tone was still the same as before, full of mockery.

Yan Ke's eyes were level, and he seemed unwilling to talk to Bai Yun more.

"Did you get the thing?" Bai Yun asked.

Yan Ke nodded, jumped off the table, and stepped forward.

"Let's go. He said.

There was silence in the study, only Yan Hua, who had died. I looked around, but no one noticed any movement here, perhaps the sentry and the patrolling guards had been dealt with.

Yan Ke and Bai Yun walked along a path towards the backyard. Next to a remote vine-covered fence, Yan Ke opened a small door, and Bai Yun came out sideways, but Yan Ke did not leave with her, but closed the door and turned back to the study.

How strong must this man's heart be when he came back? I didn't think about it further.

In less than an hour, I had the privilege of appreciating Yan Ke's most superb acting skills: discovering the grief after Yan Hua's death, showing the grief and indignation in front of the people in the village, and the helplessness, confusion and heartache of the yamen officials when they told the development of events, and dealing with the later period of woodenness, sluggishness and evasion.

When I inquired about the location of Jinyi Villa, I also got to know Yan Ke briefly by the way, knowing that he was a playful and irresponsible person, and often led a group of family members to play around, but he completely inherited Yan Hua's martial arts, and even came out of the blue, so although Yan Hua blamed him for always being outside, he still loved him very much.

Four words popped into my head and I was overjoyed to capture the fun. These four words are: Variety Scholar.

The ever-changing scholar, as his name suggests, has many identities, and he lives with a new identity every once in a while. The reason why the scholar can achieve a variety of identities is because he has a high talent and is better than ordinary people in all crafts, and on the other hand, because he is good at observation, understands people's hearts, and can easily integrate into different character identities.

Chen Yifei and Han Zicheng have both met the Variety Scholar himself, and the Variety Scholar they described is a tall and thin figure with a white face. In Liuzhou Forest City, I also followed his back all the way from Chiba Street to the Higashiyama Jungle, and on that day, he was also wearing gray clothes.

Today, Yan Ke interprets his identity as the son of Jinyi Villa very accurately, such acting skills, coupled with a figure similar to that of a variety of scholars, if things are so coincidental, I boldly guess that Yan Ke in front of him is the legendary variety scholar. The son of Jinyi Villa is one of his identities.

With a talented and intelligent person like a variety of scholars pretending to be his son, how could Yan Hua not like and love him?

Thinking of this, I couldn't hold back and laughed silently.

I promised Chen Yifei and Han Zicheng that the next time I meet the Variety Scholar, I will try my best to catch him. So I put away my smile and quietly left the hiding place.
