Zhou Yanchuan's face was extremely ugly, and in Qingyun's eyes, it was a kind of caring.

Zhou Yanchuan cared about Li Sizhi very much.

No, it should be said that I really mind whether Li Sizhi is really loyal to him.

Therefore, if Zhou Yanchuan really knew what Li Sizhi was doing behind the scenes, he might go crazy.

The more Zhou Yanchuan thought about it, the more he was afraid that this conjecture would become a reality, so he asked Qing Yun with a cold face: "Apart from helping me with things, does he do anything else?"

"Practice in the bamboo forest every day, but other than that, I didn't go anywhere else." Qing Yun only said what he saw.

When Zhou Yanchuan heard this, he felt that he was overthinking the truth.

In Li Sizhi's heart, he is a very important existence. Leaving aside the identity of the master, the two grew up together, and he will treat him very well, the kind that doesn't want anything in return.

Li Sizhi would regard him as very important, so why would he betray him?

Zhou Yanchuan deceived himself, and his face became strangely relieved: "Don't bother him when you have nothing to do on weekdays. After all, Jiangbei is someone else's territory. It is not good for us to let others discover his existence. He is my secret, and it is also the key to turning defeat into victory at a critical moment. Chess pieces, you have to protect them."

It's rare for him to say so much to Qingyun, and he hopes that Qingyun can understand the limits.

In the past few days, he heard from the shadow guard that Qingyun would go to Li Sizhi when he had nothing to do, and they would come and go to learn from each other, and occasionally they would go in and out together.

Qingyun is his close bodyguard, and it is very easy to be targeted by others.

Those who are interested in Qingyun will naturally find Li Sizhi who looks like him, and if they look deeper, they will find Li Sizhi's existence.

During the years he raised Li Sizhi, he thought he had done it in an impenetrable way, and he couldn't stand it in case.

Zhou Yanchuan also didn't want to let this possibility become a breakthrough.

If it really happened, Li Sizhi really had no choice but to discard this chess piece, and then simply disappear into the world.

He couldn't bear to throw away the chess pieces that he spent years of hard work raising.

Qingyun felt cold in his heart, and said calmly, "Yes."

Zhou Yanchuan nodded in satisfaction: "It's good that you understand."

Qingyun narrowed his gaze, and lowered his eyelids, thinking, if this matter reaches Li Sizhi's ears, what will happen?

Li Sizhi didn't want to get involved in the fight between Qing Yun and Zhou Yanchuan's master and servant, and he was busy accepting the news obediently sent by Young Master Qian.

He is not naive enough to believe without verification, and nothing without verification is untenable.

At this time, Su Mianmian came to the most important use.

The things handed over by Young Master Qian were circulated in Su Mianmian's hands, and turned into Li Sizhi's hands, which was corrected and accurate news.

The crown prince Zhou Yanshan and Su Tan's profit in the past few years has been astonishingly high, and the value is shocking to everyone.

Li Sizhi also wanted to know where the money was spent.

This can only be done by Su Mianmian's little bit of investigation, and Young Master Qian will not be able to dig it out.

When the two of them were busy, Li Si Zhisheng felt that he should find a way to reach out to Zhou Yanshan. In this way, the channel of news might be wider and it would be easier for him to check.

It is very simple to think of it, but it is as difficult as heaven to do it.

Everyone in the court knew that the prince lived in the East Palace, and because he was not in the imperial city, the entire East Palace was in charge of the prince alone.

This led to whoever entered the East Palace, even the male or female mosquito, was also remembered by the prince.

Li Sizhi couldn't get in. After all, there were too many people who wanted to compete in the East Palace a long time ago, and no one was successful.

It is also impossible to cooperate with the people inside and outside, they are all the people who are close to the prince.

The entire East Palace can be said to be watertight. For the prince, it is safer than the imperial city.

Li Sizhi looked at the paper spread on the table in front of him, feeling quite a headache.

Zhou Yanshan seemed to be even more difficult to deal with than Zhou Yanchuan.

He was as dark as a lamp beside Zhou Yanchuan, but he couldn't get close to Zhou Yanchuan's body.

The news claimed that Zhou Yanshan was neither feminine nor masculine, was upright and courageous, treated people with courtesy, was fair and equal in government affairs, and was a seedling of a wise king.

At the beginning, Zhou Yanshan was treated strangely by the current sage for several months because of a word of Mingjun, but in the end he ended up with Zhou Yanshan Fu Xiao.

Zhou Yanshan knows how to assess the situation, so what about Zhou Yanchuan?

The target of this trip is Su Tan, and from the present point of view, he probably won't be in a hurry to tear himself apart with Su Tan.

What do you do yourself?

Li Sizhi wanted to go back to the capital, only then would he be able to stuff things around Zhou Yanshan conveniently.

He was pinching the paper absently. At this moment, it was time to find out Zhou Yanchuan's attitude, would he play with Su Tan until he returned to Beijing, or would he keep playing around to dig more things?

Interfering too attentively would cause Zhou Yanchuan to get suspicious and beat him up.

Wait any longer, he thought about putting away the paper on the table and burning it.

Three days later, the people from Su Tan's mansion came to issue an invitation card, saying that it was a banquet for His Highness the Fifth Highness to come over the mansion, and discuss in detail about escorting the tax back.

The taxes are about to be packed and ready, and we will see when His Highness the Fifth Highness departs for Beijing.

This is a signal.

The purpose is to let Zhou Yanchuan make a choice, whether to cooperate with the crown prince and Su Tan, or to show his loyalty to the current emperor stubbornly, and use the few evidences to bring down Su Tan.

Zhou Yanchuan collected not much evidence of Su Tan's corruption, and some of them could even be said to be absurd perjury. The real three divisions' joint trial is simply untenable.

It wasn't that Zhou Yanchuan didn't want to find evidence, it was that Su Tan wiped his butt too clean and didn't give anyone a chance to cause trouble.

Therefore, the matter of wrangling with Su Tan had to continue.

When going to the banquet that night, it was rare for Zhou Yanchuan not to bring Li Sizhi with him, but instead asked him to do something else.

At this moment, Zhou Yanchuan had just taken the medicine, and he was so bitter that he gargled his mouth: "Zhuo Xuan, I had a drink with Su Tan at night, you quietly enter Su's mansion through the back door, and go to the study to have a look."

The study room is a good place where great secrets are easy to hide throughout the ages.

Li Sizhi lowered his head and said yes.

"Be smart, don't be seen by the patrolling guards, the Su Mansion is also heavily guarded, no less than the Imperial City." Zhou Yanchuan said lightly.

This is not intimidation, it is fact.

Su Tan is the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and he is also a corrupt official who has hidden many dirty deals behind his back.

Zhou Yanchuan had investigated it before, and asked people to try to sneak in several times, but failed to find a suitable opportunity.

Su Tan's vigilance is too strong, usually when he is at home, he will never leave the backyard.

This made Zhou Yanchuan even more convinced that there was a secret conjecture in his study, and tonight was also an opportunity. Zhou Yanchuan privately thought that with Li Sizhi's ability, he would definitely return with a full reward.

Li Sizhi nodded seriously, which made Zhou Yanchuan impatiently explain that the backyard of Su Tan's house might be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.

When Li Sizhi climbed over the wall through the back door and saw the quiet and deserted backyard, he almost suspected that Zhou Yanchuan had tricked him.

Empty, easy to go and easy to return.

Thinking this way in my heart, my feet fell under the shadow of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the dark, and I subconsciously relaxed.

What if it's a trap.

He couldn't let himself miss and become Su Tan's trick to manipulate Zhou Yanchuan, that would be too embarrassing and the mission would fail.

Fortunately, the peach blossom tree is still luxuriant in winter, and its size is huge. The shadow is enough to hide Li Sizhi's slender figure, allowing him to wait in the dark for a long time without being easily spotted.

He waited in the dark for a long time, the surroundings were quiet and he couldn't hear any movement.

All sounds are silent.

Li Sizhi instinctively sensed the danger and didn't want to go any further. Maybe tonight was a good opportunity for Zhou Yanchuan to test it out.

For Su Tan, it is also a good opportunity to catch Zhou Yanchuan's pretending. Both sides are acting, and it depends on who gets the handle first.

This is also the reason why Li Sizhi did not move for a long time.

If you act rashly, you can't do what Zhou Yanchuan told you, and you have to be self-defeating.

That can only be another policy.

Coincidentally, at this time Su Mianmian hurried past with the little girl on the path not far from him.

Su Mianmian tidied her clothes, and said in a hasty tone, "I'm almost done like this. I don't know what my father is doing. Just remove the people in the backyard and let me sit with you at the table full of men. I want others to know that my reputation is not good." It's over."

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Sizhi's place vaguely.

Li Sizhi twitched his brows lightly, "Okay, let's solve the case."

Su Tan deliberately took an opportunity to come here, and he was not sure how many people were in the yard at the moment, waiting for a rabbit.

It was impossible for Li Sizhi to know that there was a trap and jump into it. With the help of the darkness, he jumped out of the backyard of the Su Mansion, turned to the place closest to the main hall, and imitated the singing of birds.

After delivering the news, Li Sizhi waited in place, waiting for Zhou Yanchuan's new order.

After about half a cup of tea, he got it.

Take advantage of the chaos.

Li Sizhi turned over and lay on the eaves, watching the dark clouds gradually rise to cover Lang Lang's moon.

Su Tan wanted to sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit, so Zhou Yanchuan simply beat him up, disturbed the clear water in the backyard, and let himself fish in troubled waters.

This is really who is more scheming than the other, and Zhou Yanchuan's suspicion has become reasonable in the treacherous situation.

click.

Li Sizhi was awakened by the inaudible sound of tiles being crushed, and he got up quietly, like a big cat that was startled while resting, nimbly and nimbly hiding in the dark, observing the sudden visitor.

Two or three waves of men dressed in different clothes entered the backyard of Su Mansion from different directions, and then went to different places.

Li Sizhi has never felt that his eyes are not enough, and it is difficult to do things with his eyes.

He listened to all directions by the way, and the west wing room was the first to make noise, screaming mixed with cursing.

The commotion in the West Wing was not over yet, and something happened in the East Wing.

Once the two sides were noisy, the corners of the study were no longer peaceful.

The entire backyard was in chaos, and the guards who had been placed in the dark couldn't hold back any longer, and ran to the place where the movement came from in an orderly manner.

At this time, Qingyun didn't need to give any more instructions, Li Sizhi fell down the wall that no one had noticed, and quickly ran into the study against the wall.

The corner of Su Tan's study is not considered remote, there is no shelter around, and it is easy to be seen from the three directions in front of it.

Li Sizhi only took one look, and decisively turned from behind.

I don't know what Su Tan was thinking, but there were really two windows at the back of the study, as if no one would dare to open them.

The window was bolted from the inside, which did not stop the ingenious Li Sizhi.

The moment he opened the window, he stood and listened quietly, without the sound of extra breathing, and then jumped in.

The inside of the study was very dark, and the moonlight outside was also covered by dark clouds, so Li Sizhi had to grope slowly where he could see anything.

The progress in finding the thing that belongs to him is really too slow. If he continues to dawdle like this, if he fails to find the thing, he will be caught by Su Tan first.

Li Sizhi recalled the news about Su Tan, and also remembered what he had talked with Su Mianmian, and left too many unnecessary checks, and simply walked towards the bookshelf.

Finding Su Tan's favorite book, he pulled it out, and found a tiny button at the bottom of the bookshelf, like a mechanism.

Li Sizhi pressed it without thinking.

The opposite wall parted from the middle and slowly moved to both sides.

When he saw the front of the study just now, he thought it was too big. When he really went inside, he realized that the inside and outside looked different in size.

In this case, either the wall is thick enough or there is a hidden door.

With Su Tan's temperament, hiding the secret door is second, the main thing is the things inside the secret door, I don't know what it will be.

Li Sizhi's calm heart rarely became tense.

He pressed his heart, lifted his foot and walked in.

The things behind the secret door were different from what he thought.

He thought that there would be a hidden room behind this secret door, which contained things that Su Tan had not known over the years, but it turned out to be a long path illuminated by candlelight.

There is wind on the long road, and the flames jump, like a demon that devours people's hearts.

Knowing that the secret door was closed, Li Sizhi stared at Changdao for a long time before walking up.

He pays close attention to the surroundings. It is impossible to be peaceful here. Su Tan will definitely think of the day when someone breaks in, so he will have a backup.

Too quiet.

Li Sizhi could only hear his own footsteps, which were sneaky.

Halfway through, he looked back at the secret door thoughtfully.

Outside the door, Su Tan stared at the secret door with a gloomy face, his eyes full of killing intent.
