Regarding Yun Zheng's pretense of mystery, everyone didn't care, and they didn't ask in detail, so they turned around and said to Jinyiwei. If there is really any problem, Jinyiwei will naturally find it, and they will not need to come forward. On the contrary, if Jinyiwei didn't say anything, then it would be nothing if they didn't prepare more intelligence information left and right.

Simply said a few nonsense words such as "the weather is good today", "everyone will take care of each other in the future", "life has not been good recently", and the proprietress of Huayue Building arranged for someone to deliver food to the house.

The cup came and went, the scene was very lively, and the dead body outside the door seemed to be non-existent. In fact, when they leave, they will find the corpses ... It's really gone.

That night, everything that happened in Huayuelou was written into two excerpts and sent to Jiang Huan and Zhu Yuanzhang. Jiang Huan just snorted coldly about all this. However, after Zhu Yuanzhang found out, he seemed to be in a good mood, and he ate half a bowl more for dinner.

For three days, the three sects and nine streams in Nanjing City waited for three days, and when they saw the imperial court or the Jinyi Guard, they did not give any feedback to the rotten man alley, and they gradually understood the meaning. Then what else is there to say, if there is any news to be sent to one more place, it is not a troublesome matter.

Recently, Xu Ruyi has lived a life of two points and one line, in the morning, he went out of the palace to hang around, met Ouyang and Yamazaki Ryuya, and asked Yun Zheng if he had come to find him or something, but Yun Zheng seemed to be very busy, and there was nothing troublesome, since the last time he got the low-headed snakes in Nanjing City in one fell swoop, he needed to work more every day, dealing with all kinds of information, sending important things to Xu Ruyi, and at the same time he was busy managing the rotten alleys, choosing those with better talents, and asking them to study and practice martial arts。 By the way, only Yamazaki Ryuya and Ouyang are still living in the Tongfu Inn, and Wang Yongzhen is gone. To be exact, it should be regarded as a trip. For the sake of his world's first village, he wants to go to the rivers and lakes to find those world's firsts.

According to the plan, if they found it, they asked them to come to the Tongfu Inn in the capital to find Yamazaki Ryuya, and then Yamazaki Ryuya and Xu Ruyi made arrangements. Yamazaki Ryuya has now changed his name, called Ryuye, and obtained the homonym of Ryuya, and he has begun to wear a mask on his face, no longer showing his true face. In any case, he is also a widow who made trouble in the martial arts conference, and it is still inconvenient for him to show up. A while ago, Wang Yongzhen sent a message, saying that Cao Jie, the world's number one strongman he said before, seemed to have news, and he might not come to the capital at any time, and asked Yamazaki Ryu to pay attention to it.

In general, whether it is Rotten Man Alley or the first village in the world, they have all taken a solid first step, and everything is developing in an orderly manner.

Early in the morning, at a breakfast stall on the side of the road, several diners talked to each other.

"Did you hear that?"

"Oh, you've heard that, too?"

"I heard that the national seal... ”

Guoxi, the most frequent word in the streets and alleys of Nanjing.

I don't know when it started, a rumor suddenly appeared in the city of Nanjing, to be exact, it should be a rumor. said that the emperor's national seal was lost. Everyone who heard the news scoffed. The emperor's state seal will also be lost? This is a joke. But jokes are jokes, the common people still love to spread rumors and gossip, this is human nature, not to mention rumors related to the wise and martial Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. What day did the rumor appear and where did it come from, Xu Ruyi didn't know. However, it has been more than half a month since he heard this rumor, and the strange thing is that for this kind of rumor, the imperial court has not refuted the rumor, or even reacted at all, which is a bit weird, silence and non-response, this is the fermentation of rumors.

The seal, to put it bluntly, is a seal, carved from gold and jade. The seal in the emperor's hand can't say much, but there are definitely a lot, Xu Ruyi has also inquired about it in the past two days, and there are seventeen in total: the treasure of the Son of Heaven, the emperor's letter treasure, the emperor's treasure or something, Xu Ruyi can't remember clearly. However, the lost seal mentioned in the rumors is not an ordinary seal, but the treasure of the Ming Dynasty under Zhu Yuanzhang's personal system, that is, the national seal, which is basically not used on any occasion, but represents the inheritance of the Ming Dynasty.

The person who says that the national seal is lost, the meaning in his mouth is basically no different from that of the great tomorrow. Although Xu Ruyi muttered a little in his heart, he still didn't really believe it until he 。。。。。。

"Ruyi, Ruyi, I'll tell you something, and you will analyze it for me. Chunfang, as soon as Huang Zicheng left, Zhu Yunwen said mysteriously.

"What?" Xu Ruyi was a little puzzled. This is the first time, after Huang Zicheng left, he didn't pester himself to take him out of the palace or tell him "stories".

"You go out of the palace every day, have you ever heard of it... I've heard of it. Zhu Yunwen hesitated, and seemed to be quite entangled in whether to say it or not.

"What have you heard?"

"What rumors have you heard, about... Concerning... ”

"Guoxi?" Xu Ruyi guessed tentatively.

"Yes, yes!! it's the national seal" Zhu Yunwen nodded again and again, and then looked at Xu Ruyi with some dissatisfaction: "It's over, I don't know if I hear this kind of thing and come back and talk to me?"

Xu Ruyi smiled bitterly: "I listen to it as a joke, this is a rumor, unreliable." Don't say anything else, the emperor has lost the state seal in his hand, do you believe this? Who did you listen to?"

"I heard the eunuch in the palace by chance, but... Zhu Yunwen looked left and right, and then lowered his voice: "I made a special trip to ask the imperial grandfather this morning, and guess what?"

"It can't be true, right?" Xu Ruyi chuckled in his heart.

"Hmm. Zhu Yunwen nodded

“。。。。。。 ”

After a moment of silence, Xu Ruyi looked at Zhu Yunwen sincerely and said, "Your Highness, I didn't steal this national seal, you have to believe me." ”

". Zhu Yunwen scolded with a smile and pushed Xu Ruyi: "You eunuch wants Guoxi to have an egg." I didn't say I doubted you. ”

followed Xu Ruyi to sneak out of the palace twice, and Zhu Yunwen's body was also stained with some market banditry.

The two said a few jokes, and Zhu Yunwen's expression became more serious: "I've been thinking about this matter today, how can you say that this palace is in the palace, how can this national seal be lost? Let's not talk about who can steal it, just say what are you stealing this thing for?"

Xu Ruyi thought about it, and then analyzed: "I agree, with the emperor here, it is useless for anyone to take the national seal, if you want to rebel with a stone, it is a pipe dream." ”

"Do you think so too?" Zhu Yunwen said depressedly: "That's weird, what's going on?"

。。。。。。。

"Big brother. In a small mansion behind the Confucius Temple in Nanjing, Fat Feiyan Dong Chao looked at the man in front of him with a solemn expression, and asked the question that he had been holding back for half a month: "Did you take it?"

"Gurr, puff" spit out the mouthwash in his mouth, Hua Pengfei looked at Dong Chao suspiciously, a little unclear: "What to take?"

"Guoxi!" Dong Chao stared at Hua Pengfei's face, trying to see some clues from it.

"Guoxi?" Hua Pengfei looked at Dong Chao angrily and funny: "Come on, come on, brother, tell me, what do I want that thing for?" Even if I want to exchange money, I dare to sell it, does anyone dare to buy it?"

"Then who knows. Dong Chao scratched his head and said a joke, but he still believed it in his heart, the friendship between the two was lifelong, since Hua Pengfei denied it, he no longer doubted it.

Speaking of which, since Hua Pengfei promised four things in front of Shen Hongxian, he brought his good friend Dong Chao all the way to Nanjing City. Da Huandan, seven masters, 100,000 taels of silver, and the Shen family with a golden needle reappeared in the rivers and lakes. Among these four things, Hua Pengfei is most sure of the matter of 100,000 taels of silver, stealing. It's just 100,000 taels of silver, and Hua Pengfei spent seven days working hard to get it done in Hangzhou. The reason why I came to the capital was to contact the people of Tianmen. Seven masters with more than Jiazi skills, as well as the matter of the Shen family of the Golden Needle reappearing in the rivers and lakes, these two things are not something that Hua Pengfei can handle alone, but Tianmen may be able to. The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and no matter how bad it is, it is still better than him alone.

It's just that Ren Xiao didn't want him to have too much to do with Tianmen, so he didn't tell him too much about Tianmen, so that Hua Pengfei didn't know anything except that the helm of Tianmen was in the capital. But it's nothing, Hua Pengfei at least knows that Xu Ruyi, Ren Xiao's godson, is in Nanjing, and he will come even if he is not here in the future. As for the reason, it is because Hua Pengfei once touched a gold medal in the palace on Xu Ruyi, and knew that he was a person from the palace.

It's a pity that he seems to be unlucky, and Dong Chao has been in Nanjing City for almost two months, but there is no news at all, especially that no one in Tianmen is looking for him. Hua Pengfei estimated that maybe Ren Xiao had never mentioned himself to the people of Tianmen. So in order to lure the people of Tianmen out, he has been thinking about doing something sensational recently, and because of this, Dong Chao will suspect that he stole the national seal.

"It seems that you believe that rumor too?" asked Hua Pengfei somewhat casually.

"Hmm. Dong Chao nodded honestly: "Big brother, I didn't say it, if it was really a rumor, with the temper of the emperor today, it is estimated that it would have turned the sky upside down." It's impossible not to react at all, right?"

"Are you stupid?" Hua Pengfei sneered: "Otherwise, what if you lock the world and tell everyone that your national seal has been lost, and Da Ming has lost the mandate of heaven? I can't say anything about it, the more I describe it, the darker it gets. ”

After a pause, Hua Pengfei said again: "But this is groundless, and it may not be without a cause. I don't care if the jade seal is lost or not, the key is who came out of this news. ”

"That's right. Dong Chao squatted on the ground, raised his head and said, "I always think that this matter has something to do with us, and it may be for us." ”

"Tell me. Hua Pengfei also squatted on the ground, looking at his brother, which was a habit of the two, squatting and talking.

"How can I say it? Dong Chao frowned: "In this industry, big brother, your ability can be regarded as the first in the world." Deep Palace, the national seal was stolen, anyway, if it were me, I would definitely be the first to suspect you. I can't guess why you want the national seal, but I think you can steal it, and that's enough. ”

Dong Chaofu's rich wife, looking at her unsightly appearance, is actually shrewd inside, flexible in her brain, and can always say anything she wants, so Hua Pengfei brought him this time.

"You say that ... There is some truth to this. Hua Pengfei groaned.

Dong Chao thought for a while, and then continued: "If the eldest brother thinks the same way, then things will be a little different. ”

Swallowing his saliva and moistening his throat, Dong Chao said: "We don't know who the first person to say this rumor is, but it is nothing more than two situations. The first is that he doesn't know the name of the eldest brother, and this time our brother is purely unlucky. ”

"What about the second one?"

"Second, he knows the eldest brother, at least he must know the name of the eldest brother. This kind of rumor came out eighty percent to force your eldest brother to show up. After all, the court doesn't speak on the surface, but secretly estimates that there are a lot of actions, and the possibility of pulling out the eldest brother is greater. ”

After Dong Chao finished speaking, he was silent. Hua Pengfei also stopped talking. The two knew in their hearts that the second scenario was more likely. Not to mention, some things are really afraid of nonsense, and it is easy to get into trouble if there is nothing to do.

After a while, Hua Pengfei shook his head: "Forget it, I can't figure it out, let's take one step at a time." He sighed and asked, "How did you inquire about the person I asked you to inquire about?"

"I haven't found it, but it seems to be a bit of a problem. When Dong Chao said this, he glanced at Hua Pengfei complainingly: "At the tea stall outside Chengdu, if you give me a look and let me pay attention to his appearance, I won't have to look so hard." ”

"What so much nonsense. Hua Pengfei smiled: "Didn't you say it yourself, walking the rivers and lakes, you didn't meet it, didn't you show your whereabouts? Besides, who told you not to go to the martial arts conference in the future, rely on me?"

"I'm going, maybe I'll die in Matou Mountain. Dong Chao rolled his eyes: "Where did you just go?"

"There's a boss. ”

"Oh, yes. Dong Chao nodded: "Xu Ruyi is most famous for a fast sword, like a ghost. Recently, there has been no rumor on the rivers and lakes, so let's not talk about it for the time being, but there is a fast sword in this capital. ”

"Oh?"

"Still a eunuch. ”

“？！”

Hua Pengfei thought that someone had found him, but Dong Chao continued: "It's just that it is said that this person has a short body and an ugly face. ”

"Cut, then you still say. ”

"It's not the same person, but the martial arts are about the same. It's a clue, isn't it?"

"Okay, let's go back and see. Hua Pengfei thought about it, trying his luck is not a bad thing.

"No, I've arranged it all. Dong Chao patted his chest and said: "In just one or two days, that person should come to the door." ”

"Oh, how did you arrange it?" asked Hua Pengfei with a smile.

Suddenly, a person outside the door climbed over the wall and stood in the courtyard: "It doesn't matter how it is arranged, let's talk about it directly, what's the matter with looking for our house?"

Dong Chao looked up and down, nodded, and said to Hua Pengfei in a low voice: "It should be him." ”

Hua Pengfei remained silent, stood up from the ground, stepped forward, and said, "Your Excellency knows Xu Ruyi?"
