"Isn't this the way to Wuwangzhai?"

Qiao Xingzhi drove a carriage into the city and ran all the way east, not on the way to Wuwangzhai. Wen Ran was already impatient, so he really couldn't care less about being calm and gentle at the moment.

Qiao Xing knew: "I know. Mr. Wen went to Wuwangzhai with Brother Song, right? Did he also enter the inner house?"

Wen Ran nodded: "Yes."

"Have you seen anyone in the inner house?"

Wen Ran frowned. The Wuwangzhai was very big. He realized it the first time he went with Song Yilin. The layout of the courtyard was very different from that of ordinary courtyards. If Song Yilin was not leading him, he would never have found Chao Yunlou. where.

The strange thing about Qiao Xingzhi's question was not that the Wuwangzhai was very big, but that the inner house of the Wuwangzhai was very empty. Except for Wei Chuyue and Duofu, the boy who opened the door, Wen Ran had never seen anyone else in the inner house.

When Wen Ran asked about it the first time he went there, Song Yilin just smiled and said nothing, and talked about something else, bypassing the topic.

When Song Yilin mentioned the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to Wen Ran, Wen Ran also had a thought in his mind, that is, who would be there at Wuwangzhai’s Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but he didn’t think much about it, he always thought it was broken rain, thin clouds and the others. .And Qiao Xingzhi said before that not just anyone can enter the Wuwangzhai...

Wen Ran shook his head: "I've only met one person, and that is Shao Wei."

Qiao Xingzhi smiled: "Young Master Wei left Biancheng a few days ago. I haven't seen him come back from the official road. He is probably not in the Wuwangzhai. Even if he has returned to the Wuwangzhai, he has to go to another place to find news. one place."

There are not many shops open after nightfall, either music workshops, gambling workshops, or brothels, so Wen Ran guessed this way, and there are many such places in Jiutingfang in the east of the city.

There are many small alleys intersecting in Jiutingfang, and the terrain is complex. Wen Ran is not familiar with this area, and he got lost soon after entering.

Fortunately, the journey was not too long, and we arrived at the place soon.

The long street outside was brightly lit, and the noise could not be suppressed vaguely. In the alley, it was only enough for a carriage to pass.

Qiao Xingzhi stopped the carriage and said, "It's not a good place to park, let's go faster."

Qiao Xingzhi knocked on a small door and was quickly led into the courtyard.

"Where is this place?"

"This is the back door of Fuyuan Casino."

It really is a gambling house, Wen Ran guessed right.

The gambler recognized Qiao Xingzhi, so he naturally knew that he was not here to gamble, so he led the two of them to a small room in the backyard.

The furnishings in the hut are simple, and it should be a resting place for the guys.

Soon a little fat man entered the house.

He is called the little fat man because he is really small and really fat. He looks about fifteen or sixteen years old. He has a round face and a round belly, just like the little fat man next door. The string of candied haws is half eaten.

The little fat man came in and saw Wen Ran showing some surprise, and quickly regained his composure, without introducing himself or asking who Wen Ran was.

"Why is Joe here?"

"Ask you something."

"Young Master Wei?"

"Yes, a few days ago, I saw Wei Shao going to Xuzhou from the official road, do you know why?"

"Wei Shao didn't say anything." The little fat man shook his head.

"When are you coming back?"

"I didn't say anything." The little fat man still shook his head, "However, when he was applying for time, he received a letter saying that Wei Shao said that he and Brother Song were going to Xuanjian Villa together."

Qiao Xingzhi glanced at Wen Ran, both surprised, but at the same time relieved.At least they knew Song Yilin's whereabouts.

Song Yilin and Wei Chuyue were together, and Wei Chuyue could still send letters to the city, so there was no danger. As long as she knew that Song Yilin was fine, Wen Ran's hanging heart would be relieved.

When Wei Chuyue walked around to the back of the Orion's hut to lead the horse, he prepared carrier pigeons. He could have returned without sending a letter, mainly for Song Yilin. If Wen Ran came to inquire, he would at least know where he was.

"Is there anything else?" The little fat man took a bite of candied haws, and only the last two were left after he had eaten for a while.

Qiao Xingzhi looked at Wen Ran.

Wen Ran shook his head: "Not anymore."

Qiao Xingzhi drove Wen Ran back home in a carriage, and said, "Mr. Wen, please rest early. Xuanjian Villa is three days away from Biancheng. I'm afraid there will be no news from Song Ge and Wei Shao in these few days. When the news comes, someone will report to you."

"How do I know who came from Wuwangzhai?"

"It's that little fat guy just now. If Mr. Ruowen has something to do, you can also go to him. He will be on Yinghua Street during the day, and only at the gambling house at night."

"what is his name?"

Qiao Xingzhi laughed when he heard this question: "He, his name is Dong Hua'an, and he likes to call himself Xiaoye, so the big guys call him Little Fatty."

"Okay, I know." Wen Ran thanked Qiao Xingzhi and sent him out. Seeing Qiao Xingzhi's figure disappear from the street, Wen Ran was still standing at the gate of the courtyard.

He wanted to wait for Song Yilin to come back.

When Song Yilin went to Xuzhou, Wen Ran stood at the gate of the courtyard and waited almost every night. He would go back to sleep in a trance until late at night, after the sound of the midnight drum was over.

At that time, he didn't know why Song Yilin went to Xuzhou, but he felt dangerous in his heart and was always restless.Now he didn't know what Song Yilin was going to do in Xuanjian Villa, but it would not be an easy thing to make Song Yilin throw him away on the official road, not even say hello to him face to face.

The Fu family is related to Xuanjian Villa, and Xuanjian Villa is related to the Xuzhou case, but he can't figure out the connection, let alone how Song Yilin met Wei Shao, one mystery after another weighs heavily on his heart , Not to mention taking a good rest, even taking a breath is very difficult and tiring.

When his father passed away, he felt so deeply powerless.

***

When Wen Ran was worried, Song Yilin was actually in the city.

"I have an idea, which can solve Mr. Han's problem."

Wei Chuyue looked at ease, obviously confident, Han Chongwen was very curious, took a sip of tea, and waited for Wei Chuyue to speak.

"From those assassins, we found the banknotes, the Jiuque Hall, and Cai Yun. Mr. Han may suspect that these are all empty words. Whoever owns the banknotes may be, Mr. Han also said , Without your personal seal, no one in Xuanjian Villa can withdraw such a large amount of silver, so the bank note is most likely not from Xuanjian Villa. And Jiuquetang has almost disappeared in the world, even if I planted it on Jiuquetang, they I'm afraid you won't really come to me to settle accounts, it can't be more convenient. And Cai Yun, or anyone in Xuanjian Villa, or even your four personal disciples, can be the Wuwangzhai thief shouting for the thief. If Cai Yun insisted that he was wronged, and Wuwangzhai couldn't prove his innocence, not to mention, we were indeed the ones who took the young master of the Fu family away."

Han Chongwen held the teacup and pressed it to his lips. Hearing Wei Chuyue's words, it was difficult to hide the smile on the corner of his mouth.What Wei Chuyue said was right, that's what he thought in his heart. Compared with Cai Yun, a disciple of Xuanjian Villa, why should he trust Wei Chuyue and Wuwangzhai?

"I just said that from now on, I have another clue besides Cai Yun's name."

"Isn't it the Nine Que Hall?"

Wei Chuyue shook his head: "No, Jiuquetang just gave us Cai Yun's name."

"Appreciate further details."

"This, let Qin Shaoqing and Mr. Han explain it in detail. He discovered the clue."

Wei Chuyue drank his tea, gave Qin Tang a wink, and passed the words to Qin Tang.

Song Yilin listened to these complicated and interesting things, and drank tea as if she were listening to an opera.

Qin Tang cupped his hands to Han Chongwen, and said, "Before I speak, Qin has a question I would like to ask Master Han."

"Mr. Qin, please." Han Chongwen called Mr. Qin Tang, and it seemed that he still had doubts about his status as the young minister of Dali Temple.

"Dali Temple has a separate yamen in Yuzhou. I don't know if the owner of the temple knows?"

"Xuanjian Villa is located in Daxi Mountain, which belongs to the boundary of Yuzhou. I have heard that Dali Temple belongs to the Yamen, but I have never had the opportunity to visit."

"Does the owner know that besides the Dali Temple waist badge, there are other special seals on the people on duty at Dali Temple?"

"This... I don't know."

letter seal?In addition to the waist badge, Dali Temple is an official uniform, right?Song Yilin poured herself another cup of tea, thinking to herself, like Qin Tang was out of Beijing this time on an office business, but he came to Xuzhou secretly, not wearing an official uniform, only a waist badge as a token.What did Qin Tang mean by asking this?what else?

Qin Tang looked at Han Chongwen and said seriously, "No."

Han Chongwen was taken aback: "Didn't ask? Then this..."

Qin Tang said: "There is no Dali Temple. But the people who belong to the yamen in Yuzhou have imprints on them. The Dali Temple sub-yamen in Yuzhou was first built ten years ago. At that time, only two governors were transferred from the Dali Temple in central Beijing. Yuzhou is in charge of the sub-yamen, and most of the commanding officers in the yamen are selected from Yuzhou's subordinate army, and those people have tattoos unique to Yuzhou army on the back of their necks."

Song Yilin looked at Qin Tang unconsciously upon hearing this.

"Among the assassins, five of them had tattoos of the Yuzhou Army on their necks."

Han Chongwen was taken aback, the people in Dali Temple were assassins?Employed by Jiuquetang?It doesn't make sense!

"What does this have to do with Xuanjian Villa?"

"Don't Master Han find it strange? Even if I self-reported my identity, Master Han would be [-]% suspicious. If they didn't recognize us, how would those assassins know who we are, where we came from, and where we are going?"

Han Chongwen looked at Wei Chuyue: "Maybe Mr. Qin has been targeted from the beginning? Maybe it's the news of Wuwangzhai's betrayal?"

Song Yilin curled her lips, thinking, good question, Wei Chuyue knew Qin Tang's whereabouts from the very beginning, Qin Tang waited on purpose when he came to Wuwangzhai, and even sent people to ambush Qin Tang if it was the news that Wei Chuyue sold Qin Tang , Song Yilin can believe it!You can believe it!

On the contrary, Wei Chuyue helped Qin Tang from the beginning to the end, even left Wuwangzhai for him, and even rescued him, Song Yilin couldn't believe it.

"One of the 25 people survived. I have a confession here. Master Han can take a look at it first." Qin Tang stood up, walked to Han Chongwen, and handed in the confession.

Han Chongwen hastily read the two pages, and was furious. Before he could say anything, Qin Tang said first: "The people from Xuanjian Villa came to them and reported to the Yuzhou branch of Dali Temple, saying that the underworld news was worth a lot of money. In order to confirm the news, the Yuzhou Sub-affiliation asked Jingzhong for verification, and asked for the portraits of the four of us, and sent people to rescue them. These people were bought by Xuanjian Villa to assassinate us. The original plan was to kill me Afterwards, they will kill those killers. Firstly, they will pay errands; , physical evidence is all there, who would have thought that Xuanjian Villa would be involved? I am afraid that this matter will be planted on the head of Wuwang Zhai."

After Song Yilin heard this, she took a deep breath and turned to look at Wei Chuyue. How big a game is this?So Wei Chuyue has to help Qin Tang, otherwise, Wuwangzhai will be wiped out by the court as a rebel in a short time!

Why did Xuanjian Villa hook up with Jiuque Hall, and why should officials be obedient?

A Cai Yun is absolutely impossible!Since these words are only for Han Chongwen, then the people who plan all this can only be his four personal disciples? !
