Time flies quickly in the busyness, three days passed in a blink of an eye, the rehearsals of the drama club became more and more proficient, and Xie Yan also waited until the "three days later" hinted by the old bustard when he went to Xie Fang Lou.

He didn't ask anyone to go with him. In the morning, he took a silver note of 500 yuan and set foot on the road to Xiefanglou, the racecourse.

If Xiefanglou's mother really wanted to tell him any secrets, the fewer people who knew about it, the better. Xie Yan didn't want the secrets to be leaked out, let alone involving innocent people.

After all, this was the last thing left in the life of Xiang Yan Lin, the once unparalleled foreign minister of the Qing court. Xie Yan didn't dare to imagine its energy just based on the little inside story he knew when talking with Bai Luoqiu before.

If the things hidden in the Xiefang Building are really related to the list that records all the intelligence, darknet and enemy handles... Xie Yan's heart sank a bit, but he couldn't stop, and he couldn't escape, because this It was the mission he inherited from the original owner along with this body.

In the morning, the Linjiang area of ​​the racecourse is still deserted. This sensual area will only really become lively after the sun goes down. The door of Xiefang Building is half open, and a few guys are yawning and sweeping the table and sweeping the floor. Three days ago it was not the same.

"Hey, this master is here to pick up Yunliu! Why don't you see another master today?" The clerk still remembered the two ruthless men who directly stabbed a dagger into the table that day, and greeted Xie Yan as soon as he entered the door.

"He has something to do. I'll take the money to pick up Yunliu. Where's your mother?"

"Mom has been up and waiting for you a long time ago! I told you to go to the backyard when you come, and she will talk to you there." The waiter greeted you in one direction attentively, "Where is the dumb sister-in-law? Take the young master there!"

In the backyard of Xiefang Building lived a lot of girls who were bought and educated. Boys over the age of twelve were not allowed to enter. This was the rule.

The hunched woman came slowly after hearing the sound, and made a gesture of invitation half a meter away from Xie Yan.

"Master, she is just like this. She is not smart or dumb. Please take care of me." The man was afraid that Xie Yan would be upset and interrupted to explain.

"I already knew it last time, it's okay." Xie Yan waved his hands, and walked in behind the dumb sister-in-law.

The first floor of Xiefang Building is divided into a hall and a back hall. There is a small path from the back hall to the boiler room, and a turn to the side is the entrance to the backyard.

The dumb sister-in-law led Xie Yan out of the back hall. When passing by the boiler room, she reached out and knocked three times on the iron door of the boiler room. A thin girl stood up from behind the stove, her face was blackened by the stove fire.

"Mom, do you need me?" The girl clapped her hands and turned to look at them.

The dumb sister-in-law raised her hand and gestured a few gestures. Xie Yan took a look and found that it was not a dumb language commonly used in later generations, but it should have its own unique meaning, and it was not a random gesture.

The girl nodded after reading the gesture of the dumb sister-in-law, "Then I'll go to the backyard with you."

As she spoke, she walked towards Xie Yan and Xie Yan, only then did Xie Yan realize that there was something wrong with the girl's leg, she walked with a limp and seemed to be struggling.

Xie Yan remembered the introduction from the guy three days ago, this should be the dumb sister-in-law's daughter Lame Sister.

Seeing that the lame sister was struggling to walk, Xie Yan subconsciously stretched out her hand to help her. The lame sister turned her head and smiled at him. Although her face was covered with ashes, her eyes and teeth were bright.

The three of them walked into the backyard. The girls in the backyard didn't seem to get up, and the entire compound was empty. Xie Yan looked around calmly, but found nothing. After going to the main house where the madam lived and closing the door, the charming mother smiled coquettishly and walked towards him twisting her waist.

"Master Xie came earlier today, but can't wait?"

Xie Yan avoided her mother's hand calmly, "Since my mother already knows my surname, she also knows my origin if she wants to come. There is no one else here, so we don't need to act?"

"Well, after all, he's the one he picked, with a keen mind." Mom shook her head and smiled, "Master Xie doesn't need to call me Mom, just call me Mrs. Hua."

Xie Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she knew that he was referring to Xiang Yanlin in Mrs. Hua's mouth. Mrs. Hua didn't fully trust him yet, and she was still going around in circles.

"Sister-in-law Hua should have known Uncle for many years, I'm honored to hear that I look like Uncle." Xie Yan decided to get straight to the point, "Uncle left a clue before he died and asked me to come to Hankou to find you. I think I trust you very much, I don't know Do you have something here entrusted by your uncle?"

Seeing Xie Yan say Xiang Yanlin's name directly, Mrs. Hua looked a little serious.

Mrs. Hua asked Xie Yan to go back three days ago. A large part of the reason was that although they recognized Xie Yan as Xiang Yanlin's nephew, they were not sure of his current position nor his purpose. Things are of great importance, and they need to be investigated in advance before deciding how to deal with them.

During these three days, they tried their best to find out Xie Yan's experience in Hankou. Good friends...except for the secrets related to the presenter, he has almost figured out everything about Xie Yan's current situation.

Mrs. Hua and Xiefang Building are the most important hidden nails in Xiang Yanlin's intelligence network. Since she and her sister were rescued by Xiang Yanlin 20 years ago, they have taken root in Hankou and established Xiefang Building. Over the years I have only been in contact with Xiang Yanlin one-way all the time, and all the information is destroyed after reading. It can be said that apart from Xiang Yanlin and a few of them, there is absolutely no one in this world who knows the relationship between Xiefanglou and Xiang Yanlin.

After the news of Xiang's family's murder came from the capital, although Mrs. Hua and the others were anxious, they couldn't know the details because they lost contact with them. If there was an arrangement before death, then Xiefang Tower, as the most hidden hidden stake, is the best choice.

Therefore, during this year, they still collected various information as usual, lurking and waiting silently.

A while ago, Mrs. Hua accidentally discovered that Gu Shixu, who was related to Xiang Yanlin, had come to Hankou. However, after rescuing her, she was disappointed to find that Gu Shixu didn't know Xiang Yanlin's secret and his purpose of coming to Hankou. It has nothing to do with Xiefanglou.

Gu Shixuan became extremely cautious during the escape, and Mrs. Hua and the others tried their best to get everything out of his mouth, but they only knew that he was deeply obsessed with Li Tianwei, the young master of the Li family in Hankou, and followed the vines to find out the truth. After that, many secrets of the Li family and foreigners were discovered.

Later, when Li Tianwei came to Xiefanglou to have fun, he accidentally saw Gu Shizhen who was watching him secretly. I wanted to go, but in the end it was Mrs. Hua's sister who made the decision.

"We all know what it feels like to have a broken family and a bloody revenge. We have also had the thought of being desperate. His heart is dead. He can't let go of some things for the rest of his life. You don't let him try to take revenge with his own hands. That's the only way to hurt him." killed him."

……

In the end, Gu Shixuan still followed Li Tianwei. Before leaving, Mrs. Hua asked Yunliu to secretly reveal something to Gu Shixuan, so that if he found anything, he could cooperate with Xiefanglou to defeat Li Tianwei.

After Gu Shiyan left, Mrs. Hua still guarded Xiefanglou, silently waiting for Xiang Yanlin's final entrustment, and three days ago, they finally waited for another boy related to Xiang Yanlin.

Sister-in-law Hua doesn’t believe that a Gu Shi is an accident, and that Xie Yan also came to Xiefang Building by coincidence for no reason. She tentatively gave a hint of what she wanted to come back in three days, and Xie Yan accepted it after getting the hint. Fulfilling this condition proves that he does have other purposes.

After some investigation, Mrs. Hua and the others temporarily approved Xie Yan's identity and position. Xie Yan just said Xiang Yanlin's name and entrustment directly, which made her believe even more.

Mrs. Hua smiled, "Master Xie asked for the entrusted item, but the list that outsiders dug three feet to find?"

Xie Yan's heart beat faster, "Do you really have one here?"

Mrs. Hua shook her head, "How could Mr. Xiang hand over such an important thing to us? If Mr. Xiang's arrangement was so simple, the things would have been found by various forces long ago."

Xie Yan was a little disappointed, but thinking about it, what Aunt Hua said was reasonable, "Then regardless of the list, Uncle will not ask me to come to Hankou to find you for no reason. If you asked me to come back in three days, you should have already made a decision, right?"

"When I went to the capital to have an interview with Mr. Xiang a few years ago, I met you secretly in Xiangzhai." Mrs. Hua shook her head, "Mr. Xiang told me at that time that even if something happened to him in the future, the power of Xiefanglou would be the same. Don’t throw it away, and continue to save the country and the people. If things really come to that point, Xiefanglou will be his back-up, and he will let the right people take over. He has no children in his life, and you will grow up in the future , may be his successor."

Xie Yan already knew Xiang Yanlin's love and admiration for the original owner from Gu Shi谦, but after things changed, listening to Mrs. Hua recalling the past, a complex sadness still subconsciously surged in her heart.

"Then what do you mean?" Xie Yan heard the looseness of Mrs. Hua's words.

"I'm not the only one in charge of Xiefang Tower, I still need to ask their opinions." Aunt Hua said as she rushed to the door, "Come in after you've heard everything."

Under Xie Yan's unsurprised eyes, the door of the main house opened from the outside, and the lame sister and dumb sister-in-law walked in.

Xiefanglou, as an intelligence secret pile, naturally wouldn't have Mrs. Hua alone in charge. With Mrs. Hua on the bright side, the more inconspicuous the rest of the people would be, the better.

Judging from this condition, the dumb sister-in-law and lame sister-in-law who the guys say are pitiful and taken in by Mrs. Hua are the most suitable candidates-the natural disability can lower the vigilance of the target, and it can be natural to do the lowest and most insignificant work. It can appear anywhere in Xiefang Building at any time.

After the dumb sister-in-law entered the door, she slowly straightened her back. Her face was sallow, and she always bent over and lowered her head. Even if she walked past people, she didn't have the slightest sense of presence. No one would notice her appearance. Xie Yan was also in front of her After I really looked up, I realized that the dumb sister-in-law didn't look old, and she could even see a bit of her youthful demeanor by looking at her facial features.

As for the lame sister, she was still standing thin and small behind the dumb sister-in-law, her eyes were rolling around, and when she noticed Xie Yan's gaze, she smiled at him again.

"Sister." Mrs. Hua nodded at Mrs. Mute, "I think it's almost done, what do you think?"

Unexpectedly but within reason, Xie Yan saw the dumb sister-in-law slowly walking into the back room of the main house, and took out a thin booklet after a while.

"If Mr. Xiang really entrusted you with something on his deathbed, you can understand it." The dumb sister-in-law walked up to Xie Yan and said hoarsely, "You read it first, and we will talk about other things after reading it."
