Aunt Jin and Ming Yuezhu turned their heads together, saw the person coming, and said in surprise: "Master, so you are here!"

The remaining four people also looked sideways, it turned out that this person is the young master of the Jiang family.

Young Master Jiang really deserves the title of "Young Master". As soon as he appeared, his appearance had already attracted everyone's attention. His face was handsome and handsome, with two sword eyebrows slanting into his temples, his pupils were black, and he looked radiant, with a smile on his mouth. There were two dimples on her fair face, this appearance alone, coupled with the brocade robe, just stood in the hall, and made the few men present dimmed.

Zhao Shitu narrowed his eyes and looked at him, thinking about how to report himself, but he didn't even look at Zhao Shitu, and went straight to Mingyuezhu, impatiently said: "Azhu, why are you here? You came to look for me ?”

The person whose name was called had no choice but to stand up to greet him. Contrary to his excitement, Ming Yuezhu's expression was very flat, with no emotion in her brows, she just politely moved aside: "I am not the one who is looking for you today, but It's Escort Zhao, Mr. Yan, and my other two friends."

Young Master Jiang was taken aback for a moment, and then he saw the four men who came with Ming Yuezhu.

The four men stood in a row, Zhao Shitu was shaking his fan, Yan Wuhua was holding his hands behind his back, Shangguanqing was sullen, and Luo Huan simply rolled his eyelids upwards.

The eyes of the four men all fell on Young Master Jiang alone.

Young Master Jiang coughed, straightened his expression, cupped his fists and said, "Jiang Jingtian, what advice do you guys have?"

Only then did Yan Wuhua slowly step forward, and bowed to salute.

Jiang Jingtian finally assumed the attitude of the master, and greeted the five guests to sit down one by one, and ordered the servants to bring tea and water. After the greetings, Aunt Jin showed Yan Wuhua's letter to him. After he read it, he raised his head and said: "I already understand the purpose of everyone's visit, but the Jiang family is currently facing difficulties, and it may not be convenient to borrow the Kunwu sword for the time being."

Zhao Shitu asked: "Could it be related to the theft?"

Jiang Jingtian nodded and said: "It turns out that Zhao's escort has heard about it. Yes, the hidden sword pavilion was stolen. Hundreds of weapons were stolen overnight. Most of them were precious weapons of famous soldiers. It is suspected that the crime was committed by an inner ghost. The news said that this batch of dirty things had flowed into the black market, so I came to put pressure on the Jiang family to thoroughly investigate the ghosts, but I still have no idea."

Zhao Shitu then asked: "Then what is the origin of the black market, which can alert the generals of the court?"

Jiang Jingtian sighed, and said: "You don't know, in recent years there have been frequent frontier wars, and the sale of this weapon is also under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. The best batches have to be submitted to the Imperial Forest Army. Selling is subject to various restrictions. The black market grows and thrives outside the jurisdiction, and there is no taboo in underground transactions. Some people search for famous soldiers and weapons in various ways, and then sell them to foreign barbarians at high prices. The Jiang family has to bear the consequences, alas..."

When Zhao Shitu heard this, he was startled and said, "Foreign barbarians? Is Kunwu sword in trouble?"

Jiang Jingtian said: "That's not true. The Kunwu sword is the treasure of my Jiang family's town house. My father has always been worried about its safety, so he kept it in the most hidden secret room. This time it was saved from disaster. Otherwise, It's really unbelievable, alas... alas..."

The young master's handsome face was covered with a layer of sadness, making the others not know how to speak. They waited in silence for a while, only to hear hurried footsteps coming from behind. , walking in a hurry, sweating all over his head, Jiang Jingtian hurriedly stood up and said: "Why are you so flustered, didn't you see that I was receiving guests?"

"Yes, I'm sorry, young master..." The man barely stood still, and whispered a few words close to his ear, Jiang Jingtian's expression changed suddenly, and he turned around and said, "I still have some business at home, so I'm sorry, Aunt Jin, take me with you." Let's go to the guest room and rest."

Although he got up to leave, his gaze stayed on Mingyuezhu for a while, Yan Wuhua took the opportunity to take a step, stopped him and said, "If you want to borrow Kunwu sword, do you have to find the real culprit?"

Jiang Jingtian was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Zhao Shitu also took a step forward, came between the two, and asked, "Young Master Jiang, if the real murderer has not been caught, who was it that the government took away just now?"

Jiang Jingtian was startled again, and said, "It's the guard of the Sword Pavilion."

Zhao Shitu asked: "It has been found out that the guard is the inner ghost?"

Jiang Jingtian said: "Not yet, it's just that from the entrance to the interior of the hidden sword pavilion, one needs to pass through a secret passage with many traps. Except for cronies and guards, no outsider in the mansion knows how to remove the trap. The hidden sword pavilion was stolen At that time, there were two guards on duty at the entrance, one of whom was killed on the spot, but the other was safe."

Zhao Shitu and Yan Wuhua exchanged a look, then turned to Jiang Jingtian and said, "Based on these points alone, it cannot be concluded that the other guard is the inner ghost."

Jiang Jingtian asked back: "Aside from him, who else can sneak into the Jiange through the secret path mechanism without anyone noticing?"

Zhao Shitu said: "Since the mechanism is made by people, someone can untie it."

Jiang Jingtian's face darkened, and he said in displeasure: "Berrier Zhao has certainly underestimated my Jiang family's craftsmanship. The mechanism in this secret passage is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to unlock. Even if they try to force their way, there is absolutely no way that there will be no movement."

Zhao Shitu wanted to say something else, but Aunt Jin who had been waiting in the corner suddenly rushed forward, knelt down in front of Jiang Jingtian, and cried, "Young master, young master...Xu San has been with the master in the house for ten years. He has always been very responsible, and will never...would not do such a thing..."

Zhao Shitu was taken aback by Aunt Jin's intrusion, but thinking of her eager look outside the gate of Jiangfu, he probably understood the reason.

Jiang Jingtian said stiffly, "I'm just doing things impartially. If I can catch the real culprit, I will pay Xu Sanqing white and double compensate him. But right now his suspicion is hard to get rid of. Even if I want to cover up, the government will not agree to it." , The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules, Aunt Jin, I really can't help you."

"But..." Aunt Jin's voice was choked up, and it was difficult to continue, two lines of dirty tears dripped from the corners of her finely lined eyes.

Seeing a humble and helpless woman curled up on the ground, her head weeping, Zhao Shitu felt an unknown fire in his heart, and he hated the young master in front of him even more.

The young master glanced at the ground, shook his head slightly, turned around and was about to leave, but was blocked by another person.

The person who stopped him at this time was the bright moon bead that had been avoiding him since entering the door.

Ming Yuezhu faced him directly and said, "Young Master Jiang, you said that only cronies and guards know the secret way of Jiange, but that's not the case."

Jiang Jingtian raised his head suddenly: "Who else knows?"

Ming Yuezhu said: "Me."

Jiang Jingtian frowned and said, "It's only been half a day since you arrived in Xingyuan Mansion."

Ming Yuezhu said: "Besides me, there is at least one other person who knows."

Jiang Jingtian was startled for a moment, then his face changed in horror, he shook his head and said, "No, that's impossible..."

Ming Yuezhu took a step forward, and said relentlessly, "Young Master Jiang, dare I ask, have you seen Ming Yuechen in these years?"

"Azhu, you...!" Jiang Jingtian hesitated to speak, his lips trembled, and finally his face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "If you came to my house to look for relatives, you must have found the wrong place."

Ming Yuezhu said coldly: "Young Master Jiang, don't forget that she also knows the solution of the secret way, because she entered the Hidden Sword Pavilion with you and me back then."

Jiang Jingtian said: "I have never seen her since she left Jiang's house. The Jiange secret path has been reformed several times, and the mechanism solution is quite different from the past. Now that the matter is up to now, there is no need to repeat the past. "

Ming Yuezhu helped Aunt Jin up and looked at him coldly.

Jiang Jingtian glanced at the visitor, and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first, please go ahead." After finishing speaking, he gave Ming Yuezhu a complicated look, turned and left, and disappeared into the backyard.

Aunt Jin's body finally went limp, and she almost fainted in Mingyuezhu's arms. Mingyuezhu supported her shoulders, helped her to the seat, and said with concern: "Aunt Jin, take a rest first..."

The tears in the woman's eyes still couldn't stop flowing: "Miss Mingyue, Xu Sanhe...he is my husband, he is a good man with his duty...he will never do anything to betray his boss..."

Ming Yuezhu brushed off her sleeves, wiped her tears, and said, "I know, of course I know. If you hadn't taken care of me back then, I wouldn't be here today."

Aunt Jin's sobbing finally stopped, but her sad expression remained unchanged: "The government never asks why when arresting people. What should I do...what should I do..."

Zhao Shitu couldn't see it anymore, he leaned over in front of the woman, and said in relief: "Aunt Jin, don't panic, we will find a way."
