The best county magistrate

It was already past midnight when the few people returned to Sanwei Bookstore by boat. Several people in the study room were sitting around the stove, with different expressions, each thinking about something.

The crisp crackling sound of the fire roasting charcoal became the only sound here.

A moment later, Wang Tieshan came back. Yang Xuanchen stood up and took off his cloak. Hua Qianxue poured a cup of hot tea and served it to him.

"You all watch what I do, and you can say whatever you want, but I may not be able to tell you what you want to ask." Wang Tieshan said calmly.

"What did Huokou say?" This is what Yang Xuanchen asked.

"Nothing was said, but they never had the chance to speak again." Wang Tieshan's cold voice revealed the fate of the survivors in Shadow Moon Tower.

Yang Xuanchen held his chin and stopped talking. He lowered his eyes and stared at the stove, playing with the tea leaves in the tea cup and lost in thought.

Zhang Biao stood up and pulled Hua Qiane, "Let's go out and get some fresh air..."

"Bah, who wants to go out with you to get some fresh air!" Hua Qiane spat.

"You and I are both military commanders. We can fight and kill. But we need a few of them to be good at plotting and plotting."

His words made everyone laugh, and the military commander was so talented.

"Qiane, go out with General Zhang for a walk. Your second sister, I, and the military advisor will plan for a while."

Unexpectedly, Hua Qianxue also had a playful side, which made Yang Xuanchen and Hua Qianying look sideways.

Wang Tieshan briefly explained what happened after taking away the living being, and then stood up and left the study. Hua Qianxue looked at the two men who were bowing their heads in thought and smiled.

"Let's talk. I'll go see Brother Biao and Sanmei."

Yang Xuanchen and Hua Qianying looked up at Hua Qianxue who was leaving, and then their eyes met. They both seemed a little embarrassed and avoided looking at each other.

a long time.

"The Hundred Flowers Club has been branded with your mark, Yang Xuanchen, after one day and one night. It seems that if we don't follow you in the future, we will have to follow you."

Hua Qianying spoke first, and her words seemed to interrupt Yang Xuanchen's thinking, causing him to frown.

"Did I say something wrong?" she asked cautiously.

Yang Xuanchen rubbed his sore temples and smiled slightly, "No, I'm sorry, I might have caused you trouble."

His smile was like the warm sun in winter, or like the spring breeze blowing on his face. Seeing in Hua Qianying's eyes seemed to dispel some of the uneasiness in his heart.

"Mr. Yang, what are you thinking about? Why don't you tell me? One person is counting on the shortcomings and the other is counting on the strengths."

Yang Xuanchen hummed, thought for a moment and then said, "The singer today is Liu Ruyan, the owner of the Shadow Moon Building..."

"We met before, but she and her people didn't attack me at that time. I didn't know her identity at that time."

"If it hadn't been for Master Wang's reminder just now, I still wouldn't be sure that she is Liu Ruyan!"

After saying this, Hua Qianying's eyes widened and she covered her mouth with her hands.

"You don't need to be so shocked, it's just Shadow Moon Tower." Yang Xuanchen sighed again after saying, "But in the end, she escaped."

"You also heard about the living thing, but you basically couldn't get any useful information out of her."

"So, we have to be even more careful from now on."

"You have to be careful, but they probably won't make a comeback in a short time." Hua Qianying said.

Looking at Yang Xuanchen's questioning eyes, she explained: "This time they were fully prepared but still failed, which shows that their strength is insufficient."

"Secondly, there are rumors in the world that Yingyue Tower is mainly engaged in buying and selling intelligence. It is not a murderous organization. Its force should not be strong..."

Hearing what she said, Yang Xuanchen shook his head and briefly shared the information he learned from Yu Wei with her.

After learning about the real Shadow Moon Tower, Hua Qianying frowned, obviously thinking of a countermeasure.

If it is true, as he said, that Shadow Moon Tower is actually a killer organization, then this matter will be a big deal.

The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. It is impossible to guard against it. You have to think of a foolproof strategy.

Yang Xuanchen poured hot tea for her again and said with a smile: "You don't have to think too much. In fact, you are right. There are not many of them left."

"Yingyue Tower... Liu Ruyan to be precise. The person she wants to kill most is not me, but someone else."

"So, we just need to be careful and watch out. We don't have to do anything deliberately."

Having said this, Yang Xuanchen rolled his fingers back and forth on the armrests of the chair, making a dull sound.

"Leaving aside the Shadow Moon Tower, what I'm most worried about is what's behind the interrogation of the three halls!"

"Behind the scenes? Do you mean that the Ma family received instructions from someone behind the scenes?" Hua Qianying asked.

Yang Xuanchen's meaning was very clear, and Hua Qianying figured out some of the details with just a brief thought.

The reason why Ma Qian invited people from Dali Temple was able to find Fuman Tower accurately.

If you say that there is no one behind the Ma family, it makes no sense whatsoever.

She raised her head and looked at Yang Xuanchen, her eyes lit up, this man was so smart.

"Yes, if you think about it carefully, Lord Jiang only gave Lu Changwu an hour."

"In an hour, Dali Temple is going to notify the Ministry of Punishment and the Yushitai. Moreover, they are interrogating me. The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Yushitai must make arrangements."

"The imperial court's process is cumbersome, and it is impossible to complete the three-court trial process in one hour."

Speaking of this, Yang Xuanchen's eyes turned fierce, "There is always only one truth!"

"There is an invisible hand behind the whole thing that is controlling everything."

"Think about it, why did Ma Boguang choose to go to Sanwei Bookstore to cause trouble after I came to Beijing?"

"Why would he ask you to kidnap me again?"

"Actually, it was not Ma Boguang who invited us, but someone else!" Hua Qianying interrupted Yang Xuanchen and threw out an important message.

"A few days ago, the eldest sister received two thousand taels of silver notes. It was a man with a mask who found her."

"Then we guarded you for several days until you went out at night."

"You all know what happened next, so I won't go into details, but we didn't expect that Ma Boguang would come to the hut in the end."

"You mean someone deliberately notified Ma Boguang and asked him to come to the hut?" Yang Xuanchen asked.

Things have become a little clearer now. The black hand behind the scenes had already begun to make plans when Yang Xuanchen arrived in Shangjing.

All these signs indicate that the black hand is not willing to reveal his true colors.

Yang Xuanchen couldn't help but frowned when he thought of this, his eyes flickering.

Hua Qianying nodded, "So far, that's it."

"I suspect that that person wants to frame you through Ma Boguang. If you die, Ma Boguang will most likely be the scapegoat."

"If Ma Boguang dies, you will have nothing to do with it."

"The worst thing is that none of you are dead, but trouble will follow."

Yang Xuanchen felt that Hua Qianying's analysis was very reasonable. He had also thought about it, but his intuition told him that things were not that simple.

Because Ma Qian, because the way he looked at himself was wrong, he directly pointed the finger at himself when he saw him for the first time after Ma Boguang's death. There must be something evil in it.

However, judging from Ma Tong's attitude, he obviously did not know the ins and outs of the whole matter.

It seems that only Ma Qian may know some details.

Thinking of this, Yang Xuanchen thanked him, and then said: "You are right to remind me, I may know where to start looking for clues."

"However, this matter is still difficult and requires planning."

Hua Qianying waved her hand and said it was just a simple task, "Although Baihua Club is only a low-level gang in Shangjing City, we have many sisters located in different places."

"If Mr. Yang needs it, just ask, and the three of us sisters will definitely help."

She has made her words clear, and it seems that her cooperation with Baihua Club is already a certainty.

"Thanks to Second Sister Hua for your care, our future cooperation will definitely be successful."

"I, Yang Xuanchen, dare not say anything else, but I will definitely give my sincerity to my friends and brothers and sisters. If Baihuahui needs anything, just ask."

At this time, Yang Xuanchen laughed shyly, "But in Shangjing City, I may not have any official channels for the time being, but I have plenty of money, haha."

These words made Hua Qianying laugh, "Mr. Yang is so good at joking. I have already received one hundred thousand taels from you today. We three sisters have never seen so much money..."

The two discussed for a while, and Yang Xuanchen explained the preliminary layout. Hua Qianying even put forward many opinions on Yang Xuanchen's layout through her knowledge of Shangjing City.

The next step is to wait for the fermentation time.
