Lin Fanghe left the alley, and Pegasus rushed to Ying Tianfu. The situation was reported to Lord Yin Wu of the Ming Mansion, and forty capable arresters were quickly mobilized, and Cheng Liangjia, the head of the hunt, led by Cheng Liangjia, entered the Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department overnight.

Come to the back hall.

It is tightly controlled around the residence of Lord Shangshu Qi Tai.

Lin Fanghe pinched a handful of sweat, and looked worried: "I hope it's not too late for us to come?"

"Lord Lin, it's not our prevarication. Cheng Liangjia looked embarrassed and said: "We have been on an errand in the public for many years, and we only know how to inspect cases, catch thieves and arrest murderers, and we know very little about the rivers and lakes. I also hope that Lord Lin will work tirelessly and give more guidance, so that the Ying Tianfu servants can safely protect Qi Shangshu and not be harmed by traitors?

"Don't worry, with me here, I will never let that 'ghost with a thousand faces' get his hands on it. ”

"So what should we do. ”

"Guard, guard this room. Tell the brethren to keep your eyes open at all times and not to let up. In particular, the roof, under the eaves, the pillars, and the windows should be carefully inspected. The 'Ghost with a Thousand Faces' is meticulous and good at makeup, so don't let him get into trouble......"

"I will do it. ”

"Okay, let's go meet Master Qi now. ”

Lin Fanghe and Cheng Liangjia entered the house together.

The military department Shangshu Qi Tai was dressed in civilian clothes and sat on a chair. Although he is not very tall, he has a thick body, powerful and powerful eyes. Under his chin, he has a dark and shiny beard. Although Qi Tai is a scholar and a scholar, because he has been contaminated with the military for many years, he is quite bold: "Thank you for your help, Qi has nothing to repay." A certain person is a rough man, he only knows how to exercise soldiers and horses to serve the country loyally, why did the killer find me?"

Lin Fanghe waved his hand and said: "Since my lord was instructed, he has inspected the border passes, surveyed the terrain, and urged the military department to allocate a large number of silver taels to strengthen the city and add weapons and armor to firmly guard the border land. The Mongols attacked several times, but they were all defeated. Now they are unable to confront our army head-on, and they can only resort to this unacceptable means of assassination......"

"Okay, you wait for the effort. Qi Tai clapped his hands with his fists, and he was dignified: "I have been in politics for 30 years, with several ups and downs, ups and downs in the sea, and I have long looked down on the honor and disgrace of life and death. Although you don't know how to attack, you have the guts, and you may be able to help you in a critical moment!"

Cheng Liangjia greeted and asked: "Lord Qi, forgive me, because the enemy has collected a lot of outlaws in the rivers and lakes, who are good at lurking assassinations and disguises, in order to ensure your safety, we need to learn more about the people around the general?"

"Okay, it's up to you. ”

"Who are the people in the house who are always waiting next to the adults?"

"I'm a stranger man, reading official documents at home, or sitting idle, and never allowing those subordinates to enter my room casually. I hate what ring fat swallow is thin. ”

Qi Tai stroked his black and shiny beard and said, "Usually, two personal girls serve me, but they don't come at night. Sometimes I have been reading for too long, and the night is already deep, and the old servant Qi Fu will bring me a pot of tea or a midnight snack. ”

"We got it. ”

Lin Fanghe and Cheng Liangjia withdrew.

When he came to the outside of the house, Cheng Zhutou immediately arranged for Tang Yu, Xiang Jincheng and others to summon the two maids and the old servant Qi Fu to come to the court here for interrogation.

However, the results of the inventory were not very encouraging. The two maids have mediocre qualifications and stupid figures, as for that Qi Fu, who is over seventy years old, his face is covered with old age spots. With sparse teeth and a hunched back, even if he is blind, he can see that these people are by no means martial arts masters.

Tang Yu sent a few people back, came in and leaned against the table, sighed, and said, "It seems that from their bodies, there are no clues?"

Lin Fanghe comforted: "Don't worry, calm down." Between hunters and prey, in addition to wisdom, courage, and confidence, sometimes it is a battle of patience. Whoever can endure his temperament and not mess with himself will be able to win the final victory. Since Tu Hu said that the 'Ghost of a Thousand Faces' is coming, he will definitely appear......"

"The key is when and how will he show up?" Tang Yu was puzzled.

Lin Fanghe stopped dressing, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "A few of you go into the house, accompany Lord Qi, and don't leave for a while." Then he said to Cheng Liangjia: "Cheng Zhutou, the rest of the people are at your disposal." Arrange more people to wait around, control entry and exit, and idle people are not allowed to enter. I'll go around the front and back yards. Remember, call the police if something happens!"

The crowd answered.

Lin Fanghe left, patrolled with a sword, and after he checked the front, he came to the back house of Qi Mansion. There is a garden in the back house that is overgrown with wild grass, with a radius of several acres, and there are insects singing.

The night air is cool, and the wind blows the forest leaves.

Lin Fanghe stopped, looked at the sky according to the sword, and suddenly thought of his life experience and his mentor "Sky Sword" Mo Canghai I Hero, but finally died unexpectedly, and he didn't feel sad from it.

I was sighing to myself, and suddenly I felt that the sharp wind pierced my back and the murderous aura was awe-inspiring.

He slammed down, leaned sideways, and stabbed out with his backhand sword. The other party's horizontal blade made a loud sound. Lin Fanghe took two steps sideways, and pointed his sword: "Where is the rat, dare to hurt people with secret arrows?"

The other party was masked with a green scarf, holding a short sword in his hand, giggling and saying, "It's my ......"

"Chen Fangfang?"

Lin Fanghe was suspicious, and he held his sword and said, "In the middle of the night, what are you doing here?"

"Don't you know that I like to watch the excitement?" Chen Fangfang inserted the short sword back into her waist and took a step forward: "There is going to be a big show here, it is wonderful and very beautiful." How can I not come!"

"Fangfang, did you take refuge in the Mongols?"

"These Mengyuan Tartars, how did they oppress our Han people in every way when they were in power in the past, they were divided into four classes, and their lives were the same. It is a hundred times worse than that duplicitous traitor Zhu Yuanzhang! I, Chen Fangfang, will not be with them when I die-"

"I'm relieved when you say that. Lin Fanghe returned the sword into the sheath, looked at it, and said: "Personal grievances are more important than the national righteousness, I know you will be able to distinguish them." ”

Chen Fangfang sneered: "Senior brother, how can you be sure that I am not a bad person? After all, it has been nearly ten years since we broke up. ”

"I don't care about the side, I just promised my father that I must protect your safety. Don't let the king of Han cut off the last bloodline......"

"I knew you weren't helping me, what was I. All you care about is a promise. ”

"You're serious. ”

"Isn't it?" Chen Fangfang turned around and said hatefully: "Otherwise, you wouldn't have resolutely left me in the most difficult time of the year." ”

Lin Fanghe shook his head and tried to change the topic: "Why do you want to mention old things again? Senior sister, do you know that I saw Tuhu today?"

"yes, what did he say?"

"He said that Master Mo Canghai was not killed by him?"

You believe the words of such people. ”

Lin Fanghe didn't care, and said: "I see that his words are sincere, and forgive him for not being vain. Moreover, Tu Hu slashed his master when he committed the crime, and his notoriety has spread all over the world, and thousands of people have pointed to it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have fled far to the north. He can't seem guilty of lying about it......"

Chen Fangfang was slightly stunned: "I don't understand what you mean." ”

"Senior sister, you were in the Sword Palace at the time, so you should know the situation better than me. Lin Fanghe sighed, his voice was not without grief and indignation, "When Master was killed, didn't you find any suspicious clues?

"What's the use of talking about that now?"

"It worked. Lin Fanghe's throat choked and said, "Because judging from all kinds of signs, the murderer should not be Tu Hu." There must be someone else who killed the master and his old man. ”
