Shangguan Yushi resolutely opposed the tenth prince to go to Nancheng, the death of the high marquis was a lesson from the past, and could not give the Qiu Society a chance to take revenge, she also blamed Huan Nu, thinking that it was this slave who made the master take risks.

But she knew that the temper of the tenth prince and strong opposition would only backfire, so she quickly changed her mind and asked to go with her, and also to take the wild horses and Liuhua with her.

Gu Shen had a headache, how could the two sons of the Shangguan family see themselves as men, they were still girls in the eyes of others, and it was a bit strange to take three juvenile killers to a brothel to investigate the case.

Shangguan Ru categorically refused, and only allowed Yu Gongzi to make up and change her appearance, more like a boy.

Early the next morning, when Huan Nu and the Ten Princes left Beicheng, Shangguan Yushi's face was very bad.

Walking on the narrow and frozen streets and alleys of Nancheng, Shangguan Ru took a deep breath, "Alas, it's finally here, why are there so few people, I heard that Nancheng is the most lively place in the world." ”

"It's going to be evening. Gu Shenwei said, looking around vigilantly, so he chose to come to Nancheng during the day to avoid the noisy crowd.

The two swordsmen, who were already guarding the outside of the level, immediately sent the leader's sword and another narrow knife up, and then retreated.

"Oh. Shangguan Ru tied the narrow knife to his belt and pointed to the dilapidated hut diagonally opposite, "Is that a brothel?"

"Well, but not what we're looking for. ”

Gu Shenwei took the little master all the way to Liuren Lane, Shangguan Ru was full of interest, and he had to ask two words when he saw anything, especially which force each merchant belonged to, Huan Nu introduced them one by one, and some of them even he didn't know.

When he was about to arrive at Liuren Alley, Shangguan Ru frowned, "It turns out that our Kunshe is only in charge of such a small number of people." ”

The merchants grabbed by Kunshe were almost all the original resources of the big young master, and they only got four or five tenths, which was already a good result, and dozens of people died in the middle, but compared with the entire Nancheng, it was naturally still pitiful.

"It's hard at the beginning. Gu Shenwei comforted that he also wanted to expand his power, and the sooner and bigger the better.

The small buildings on both sides of Liuren Lane are obviously more gorgeous than other places, and it aroused Shangguan Ru's interest, especially when she heard that most of the prostitutes in the West Domain lived here, so she asked who the owner was, Gu Shenwei knew very little, but Shangguan Ru didn't believe it very much, looking at her expression, probably suspecting that Huan Nu was embarrassed to admit it.

Gao Houye died in a brothel in the east of the street, two young detectives came late, this is Liuren Lane, every inch of land is expensive, as soon as the body is cleared out, there are new prostitutes living in immediately, and even use the tragedy as a selling point to attract customers, it is said that as long as you pay an extra hundred taels of silver, you can lie in bed together, and reproduce the scene of that night "bloody".

Yahuan's mother-in-law has also changed, yawning to open the door, as soon as I heard that it was not to be **, I was not allowed to come in.

At that time, the insiders were not there, and it was useless to go in, and the first attempt of the tenth prince to break into the brothel failed, she almost revealed her true identity, and was finally taken away by Huan Nu.

In the morning, Liuren Lane was the quietest place in Nancheng, and there were almost only two of them on the entire street, Shangguan Ru was disappointed, "Who is here under our control?"

"There is only one. Gu Shenwei didn't want to attack the tenth prince, even this one was his private sponsorship, he didn't correct Shangguan Ru's mistakes, Kunshe didn't "manage" those merchants, but just collected money to provide corresponding protection.

The industry of the eldest and young lord Shangguan Chui is mainly concentrated in the serious business, and the only few Fengyue places are also small brothels outside Liuren Lane, more than half of Liuren Lane belongs to the Meng family, and the other half is more or less related to the Meng family, but the Qiu Society did not take advantage of this relationship, and their status in Liuren Lane is similar to that of Kunshe.

In order to satisfy the curiosity of the tenth prince, Gu Shenwei had no choice but to take her to the "one" brothel.

The Xu family's sisters and brothers were sleeping, and the newly hired little girl opened the door, sleepy-eyed, and when she saw her master coming, she immediately changed to a charming smile.

Xu Xiaoyi was a little clever, got up to say hello to Brother Huan, and then stared at the short boy he didn't know for a while, then suddenly knelt down and respectfully greeted the tenth son.

Shangguan Ru was both happy and disappointed, and asked herself how she was recognized, and Yu Gongzi made her into a sick young man with a yellow face, and she couldn't even recognize herself in the mirror.

"Well, the nobles have noble appearances, which can't be concealed, the tenth prince is just pretending to be a beggar, or is there a ...... How so...... Domineering is displayed. ”

This flattery was saying that Shangguan Ru's heart was up, and his smile was like a flower, and he immediately had a good impression of Xu Xiaoyi.

Gu Shenwei knew very well in his heart that this kid was talking nonsense, he must have recognized the tenth prince from the attitude of "Brother Huan", and it had nothing to do with any nobles and domineering.

The tenth prince arrived, Xu Xiaoyi ran upstairs in a panic and knocked on his sister's door.

Gu Shenwei was a little worried about Xu Yanwei's temper, and he didn't know which face she was going to change to meet people this time, but the result surprised him, it was almost Shangguan Ru's time to sit down, Xu Yanwei had already dressed up and went downstairs, full of energy, as if she hadn't slept all the time.

It's hard to say which of the two girls is more curious, looking at each other, cautious and tentative, and it didn't take long for them to be like close friends who played from childhood to adulthood, saying nothing and not being informal.

At noon, everyone ate together, talking about the death of the Marquis Gao, the Xu sisters and brothers were very embarrassed, Xu Yanwei once received the Marquis and had a very good impression of him, "I was still young at that time, and the Marquis Gao was very painful, and he was willing to spend money......"

Probably because he felt that these words were not suitable to say in front of the tenth prince, Xu Yanwei quickly shut up.

There were a lot of rumors about this tragedy in Liuren Alley, but when Shangguan Ru mentioned the rice grains on the bed, the Xu family sisters and brothers had never heard of it, so they immediately opened their eyes wide and asked, and then discussed it enthusiastically.

"Rice grains, rice grains, this may be implying something, isn't there a saying called 'raw rice cooked rice'? But what does this sentence want to say?" Xu Xiaoyi opened his association, and when he saw that no one answered, he fell into deep thought.

"Maybe you're doing some tricks, you can ...... when Marquis Gao and I are together" Xu Yanwei thought the same as the captain patrolling the city out of professional habits, but he only said half a sentence and stopped.

Shangguan Ru waited for her to explain in detail, and Gu Shenwei hurriedly changed the topic.

Everyone was chatting, and Xu Xiaoyi, who hadn't spoken for a while, suddenly raised his head and stretched his brows, "You should go to the rice noodle store to check, maybe...... Ouch. ”

Gu Shenwei kicked him under the table, but it was too late to stop him.

"What do you want to do in the rice noodle shop? Every family has rice, what can the people recognize there?"

Xu Xiaoyi looked at Brother Huan carefully, and when he saw the hint of nodding, he said brightly, "Each line has a cover, and there are always a few thugs under the cover, and these thugs sometimes make some signs in order to show the characteristics of their own line, for example, the thugs of the cloth shop will nail a piece of red silk on the spot......

"The thugs of the rice noodle line leave rice grains?" Shangguan Ru said in a hurry.

"I've never heard of this, but it's worth asking. ”

Shangguan Ru nodded, thoughtful, "It's worth asking, why didn't Captain Zhong and you think of this?"

This is for Huan Nu.

"We are not very familiar with Nancheng, unlike this Xu Xiaoyi, who grew up here. ”

Gu Shenwei had actually thought of it a long time ago, and he was sure that Zhong Heng had also thought of it, the sleek official left important information at the end and said it inadvertently, in fact, he wanted to shirk his responsibility, Gu Shenwei didn't mention this matter in front of Shangguan Ru, he wanted to deal with this day and send her back to Beicheng, but she was stabbed by Xu Xiaoyi.

There was no way, that afternoon, Gu Shenwei had to take the tenth son and go to see the cover of Mi Mian Xing together.

The previous rice noodle line's cover Zhou bag was "harvested" by Tie Hanfeng's master and apprentice, and the successor happened to be surnamed Mi, and he didn't like to be called "rice bag", so everyone called him "rice shopkeeper".

The rice shopkeeper has worked under Zhou Baozi for many years, but in the end he has to spend money to continue his status, so he has no feelings for the previous cover, and even a little schadenfreude about his tragic experience.

The rice shopkeeper is short in stature, with a sparse beard, and does not look like a cover to protect the party, but like a tired and sad bookkeeper, and his home is piled up with a lot of rice and flour bags, which are messy, and the guests have almost no place to put their feet.

The rice shopkeeper greeted the ten princes in surprise, personally sorted out an open space to receive guests, instructed the servants to bring tea and water, and kept muttering "Peng Shen Shen".

Gu Shenwei originally wanted to come by himself, but found that it was not bad to have ten princes here, and as the "son" of the Dubu King, it was easier for the rice shopkeeper to tell the truth.

The shopkeeper really didn't dare to push back, but he counted the thugs he raised one by one, and swore and declared: "Impossible, those guys are ordinary swordsmen, not good at using swords, let alone masters." ”

"You say 'not good at using swords', that is, there are still people who use swords?" asked Gu Shenwei.

"No, no, I just said casually, really, now in addition to the son of your family, how many people are equipped with swords? There are very few swordsmen like Ye Shilang, how can they come to the rice noodle shop to be a thug?"

The shopkeeper seemed to be sincere, and he didn't have to lie, so the two teenagers said goodbye, and the clues in their hands were really broken this time.

"It seems that the person who is the most suspicious is still Ye Shilang, and the other swordsmen in Biyu City don't have a deep relationship with Gao Houye. Shangguan Ru guessed.

Gu Shenwei also felt the same way, he remembered Zhong Duwei's set of principles of "solving the problem", but it couldn't be applied here, he didn't think about how to get rid of suspicion, anyway, he had to duel with Ye Shilang anyway, he just wanted to find out the real culprit, even if he didn't expose it, he had to know who the enemy was hiding in the shadows.

If this enemy is Ye Shiro, he must know the reason.

The sky was getting darker, there were more pedestrians on the street, and the shops that did business at night began to be lit up, and Shangguan Ru's interest shifted again.

She was probably going to go shopping all night, Gu Shenwei thought to himself, he had to transfer a group of knife men to protect him secretly.

A teenage child bumped into him, Gu Shenwei almost pulled out a knife to kill, the child was stunned, stuffed a note into Shangguan Ru's hand, turned around and ran.

Gu Shenwei grabbed the child's arm, "Who asked you to send it?"

"I don't know, wearing a cloak, over there. ”

"Look. Shangguan handed the note to Huan Nu, his tone surprised and excited.

As soon as Gu Shenwei let go, the child ran away as if he were flying.

There was a line on the note, "The swordsman is in the blacksmith village, immediately." ”
