Liu Xianli did not lead people to follow the news from Xiangyang Town and trace them all the way to the city. It's just that I went to Linshan Mansion, not Causeway City.

Naturally, there was nothing to be found in Linshan Mansion, and I didn't even have time to come back during the Spring Festival. It wasn't until the eighth day of the first lunar month that he returned to Liulinbao in a huff.

It turned out that soon after Sui Xing's family of three returned to Xiangyang Town with Cuiliu, the second room of the Sui family in Linshan Mansion opened a pawn shop in Linshan Mansion, and Sui Xing's second uncle Sui Jingtai personally came back to pick up the family to go to Fucheng for the New Year. The old lady Sui and the old man Sui thought twice, and decided to only bring Sui Xing's eldest son Sui Cen, so that Sui Xing's family of three stayed, one is to take care of the family, and the other is that it is only more than a month away from the end after the Spring Festival, so there is no need to go all the way to Linshan Mansion, so that the time is delayed in running back and forth, it is better to warm up at home, and hurry back to Causeway City after fifteen to prepare.

Because Sui Xing studied behind closed doors all day, Liu Xianli couldn't see the master of the Sui family at all, and even if he was a subordinate, it was difficult to inquire for a while, so he couldn't find out the exact news about the new scholar invited by the Sui family.

After all, it was impossible for Wu Jiabao to inquire about everything clearly in the dark line of Liulinbao, which made Wu Jizong and several people wonder why Liu Xianli did not continue to enter the city to search for Wu Zheng's whereabouts.

On Wujiabao's side, after discussing with Wu Jixue, Wu Jizong always felt that if he didn't dig out the traitor first, even if he found Wu Zheng's traces, he would inevitably escape again. Even, several people suspect that the reason why Wu Zheng was able to escape from the iron cage in the sinking pond of Water Snake Bay may also have something to do with the traitors in the clan.

In this way, Liulinbao temporarily lost the clues about Wu Zheng and had to stop temporarily. However, Wu Jiabao was busy digging out the traitors in the clan, and judging from the signs in Houpo Village and Gushantun, there was probably more than one traitor, so he put aside the matter of continuing to search for Wu Zheng for the time being.

Wu Gang, the little overlord who returned to Wujiabao, although Wu Mingzhi had sworn poisonously in person, he was still not very down-to-earth, after all, what the two of them had done was too big, and it was difficult to guarantee that Wu Mingzhi would not go back on his word. Therefore, Wu Gang has nothing to do, and he always gets together with Wu Mingzhi, the purpose of course is to spy on Wu Mingzhi.

Wu Chun and Wu Youren, who were in charge of secretly investigating several of them, were not idle, especially Wu Youren, who soon saw a hint from the abnormal behavior of the little overlord Wu Gang. It's just that there is no evidence, so it is inconvenient to ask Wu Gang directly for a while. I wanted to find Wu Mingzhi alone to understand the situation, but I couldn't find the opportunity.

Finally, after several discussions, in the middle of the night on the tenth day of the first lunar month, Wu Chun quietly entered Wu Mingzhi's house and secretly caught Wu Mingzhi from the bed.

It didn't take much effort at all, and Wu Mingzhi, who was scared in his heart, told everything that happened in Gushantun in detail.

"Are you saying that Wu Gang decided to do this in order to repay Wu Zheng's kindness in the martial arts competition that day?"

Although this possibility has been analyzed, after listening to Wu Mingzhi's confession, Wu Jixue still can't believe his ears. After all, Wu Gang has been valued by the clan since he began practicing martial arts, and no matter what aspect he is, he should not do such a thing.

"Third brother?"

Whenever there is a major event, it is basically Wu Jizong who comes to make the final decision.

After pondering for a while, Wu Jizong looked at Wu Mingzhi and said:

"Nian is that you were coerced, and after you came back, Wu Gang has been monitoring your every move, and the clan can open up to you. However, you must swear in front of your ancestral tablet that you will not tell anyone, including your parents and family, about tonight. Otherwise, you should know what awaits you and your family. ”

"Third Grandpa, Great Grandpa, Grandpa, I know. ”

"That's good, then you will still have a relationship with Wu Gang as before, don't alarm him. ”

After speaking, Wu Jizong signaled Wu Chun and secretly sent Wu Mingzhi back.

"What does the third uncle mean, don't move Wu Gang for the time being?"

"Don't touch him for the time being, according to what Wu Chun saw in Houpo Village on August 15, there must be another person hiding in the shadows. Although it is not certain whether Wu Gang and that person are accomplices, it is best to observe for a while. ”

Everyone also heard from Wu Mingzhi's mouth just now, Wu Gang just wanted to let Wu Zheng go to repay the kindness of the day, that is to say, he only temporarily concealed Wu Zheng's whereabouts for a month, so Wu Gang would definitely continue to follow the clues he heard from the old man who was killed.

Youren sent someone to secretly follow Wu Gang to see if he could find another person Wu Chun had met in Houpo Village. ”

Wu Youren hesitated for a while before saying:

"Third uncle, according to what Wu Chun said, that person's skills are very good, I'm afraid that ordinary disciples are not competent. ”

"Youren is right, don't show that the disciple who was sent to spy on Wu Gang hasn't found that person, but has been discovered by that person, and the murder happens again. ”

Wu Youren and Wu Jixue's worries were not unreasonable, but for a while, Wu Jizong couldn't think of a suitable person who could not only secretly spy on Wu Gang, but also be skilled enough to successfully escape after being discovered by that person.

After pondering for a long time, Wu Jizong said:

"Let's let Yumin go for now. At the same time, "

Wu Jizong glanced at Wu Chun, and then continued:

"Arrange for two more people to be behind Youmin, just in case. ”

"Third uncle, it turned out that the good thing was to gather the disciples and set off at the sixteenth, now do you want to advance?"

"No, there is no move on the Liulin Castle side to send people out again for the time being. We'll wait for the time being, and we don't necessarily have to make a big splash, but we might as well do it quietly this time. After the Shangyuan Festival, let's discuss it again. ”

Soon, Wu Gang noticed something strange from Wu Mingzhi's expression, because since the eleventh day, Wu Mingzhi always seemed to be avoiding his eyes. Although I was skeptical, I was not sure. After all, after coming back, Wu Mingzhi was always in his sight.

"Mingzhi, the clan hasn't asked you anything alone recently, right?"

"What did the fourth brother say, when didn't we be together after we came back?"

"When Sixteen went out to look for Wu Zheng again, would you still be willing to join me?"

"Fourth brother, if I am still as free to combine as before, I will definitely still be with the fourth brother. ”

"Isn't it, do you hear something?"

"What did you hear?"

"Didn't you just say, 'If it's still the same as before?'"

"Hehe, why did the fourth brother suddenly become suspicious, I just said it casually. ”

With a haha, Wu Mingzhi was actually very nervous in his heart, and he wanted to tell Wu Gang the truth several times, but he was really worried about the safety of himself and his family. He didn't want to hurt his family because of his own mistakes.

In a blink of an eye, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed, and on the sixteenth day, Wu Gang and Wu Mingzhi went to the ancestral hall of the clan to gather in accordance with Wu Youren's original instructions, but they received a notice from Wu Chun, who was guarding there: the action was postponed, and they would go home for the time being to wait for news.
