After the failed assassination of the powerful minister

In just one night, Cen Xian got all the ledgers.

The official who confessed where the account book was located looked at the instruments of torture in front of him, heaved a sigh of relief, and managed to save half of his life.

Cen Xian took a red pen and drew red marks on the adulterated accounts, and then ordered Shang Zhi to send all these accounts to Jiang Jinyue, and then asked Jin Yiwei to strictly guard the storehouse and government treasury, and no one was allowed to enter.

It took too long to check the accounts, and Cen Xian no longer had time to go to the warehouse to check what was missing one by one.

Cen Xian paced back and forth in the room, expecting the news to spread, Jiang Yuan and Wei Chen would come back again, and it would take six or seven days to come back... It would be best if he could catch Xu Zhiyi in these six or seven days, but if he couldn't I can only wait for them to come over as long as possible...

The south of the Yangtze River is the place under Xu Zhiyi's command. The forces are intricate and complex, and there are many sects in the Jianghu. It is hard to guarantee that no one will collude with Xu Zhiyi.Even if Suo Mingmen doesn't get involved - but Suo Mingmen is not the only sect that uses money to kill people.Now that he is a mighty dragon, he probably won't be able to defeat Xu Zhiyi, a local snake.

Seeing his master's pale face and still worrying about these things, Xiao Liu next to him couldn't help feeling distressed, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to add some charcoal to the charcoal basin to make the room warmer.

On the other side, Xu Zhiyi, who already knew that Cen Xian had gone to the warehouse treasury, was furious.

Cen Xian went to the warehouse to check the account books!

Huo Le frowned as he looked at the frustrated look of the Central Plains: "It's just to check the books, we still have time."

Xu Zhiyi turned to look at him, the fat around his waist trembled.

A trace of disgust flashed across Huo Le's eyes: "How can he check if the storehouse is burned?"

"No, this is the worst policy! If the storehouse burns my head, I won't be able to save it!" Xu Zhiyi disagreed, "Besides, if it burns there, everything will be gone!! Are you still in business!"

"Then catch the commander first," Huo Le clapped his hands, "There is a saying in the Central Plains that "capture the thief before capturing the king", if you catch him, the problem will be solved. "

Xu Zhiyi scratched his head: "It's not so easy to catch him! Is it just a display for you to be a Jin Yiwei?!"

Several Turkic people muttered next to them, and then they leaned over to Huo Le's ear and said a few words.

Huo Le tilted his head and looked at Xu Zhiyi after listening: "Maybe we can use poison."

Xu Zhiyi looked at Huo Le.

Huo Le took a small porcelain bottle from the attendant beside him: "This is a kind of poison we bought from the rivers and lakes who passed through Shuomo. You people in the Central Plains call it cartilage powder."

The black cat lying next to him was picked up, and Huo Le opened the small porcelain bottle, poured out a little white powder and fed it into the black cat's mouth.After a while, the black cat lay on the ground as if it had no bones, and couldn't stand up.

Because I used some in the brothel last time, there was still half a bottle of cartilage powder left, Huo Le closed the lid, and moved the small porcelain bottle to Xu Zhiyi.

Xu Zhiyi's eyes lit up.

Naturally, he still has minions in the magistrate's mansion. If he can use poison to get Jin Yiwei down first, that would be great.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyi picked up the medicine bottle, ordered a young man to deliver the medicine, and also stuffed him with several letters, asking him to deliver it to the Jianghu people who are entrenched in this city.

Now that the Zhizhou Mansion is in Cen Xian's hands, his soldiers can't move, so he has to let those gangsters who take money to do things work.

Although Xu Zhiyi felt sorry for his money, he still had to spend it. After all, how could money matter?

So in the afternoon, the letter was delivered to Suomingmen.

It was windy at that time, the sky was gloomy, and the sun didn't show up in winter. The wind mixed with wet water vapor made people shiver, as if they were thrown into a lake, fished out and thrown into an ice cellar .

Shuo Wang was playing with a knife in the courtyard, and he swung the straight and simple horizontal knife vigorously.

After practicing for less than half an hour, he inserted the horizontal knife into the jar with the trees nearby, and walked a few steps to the stone table in the yard to drink tea.

Jiang Jinyue was sitting on the edge of the stone table, looking down at a book seriously. Shuo Wang thought he was reading about medical skills, but when he looked up, he found that it was a chess book.

He turned his head and saw Nan Yan and Zi Fu walking towards them.

Zifu was still waving his paper fan, Nanyan carried a long knife on her back, pinching Zifu's neck with her hand, the pain made Zifu beg for mercy repeatedly.

They stopped after they entered the door.Nan Yan said to Shuo Wang and Jiang Jinyue, "Someone delivered a letter to Suo Ming Men a few hours ago."

Jiang Jinyue paused while flipping the paper, Shuo Wang's eyes moved, and asked Nan Yan, "What did you say?"

"Please rank among the top ten killers of Suo Mingmen." Zifu put his fan away and slapped it on his palm, "Assassinate Jin Yiwei Commander Cen Xian."

"Pa——" Jiang Jinyue threw the book, and the book bounced twice and flew out of the table, "What did you say?!"

"Young Master Jiang, don't get excited," Nan Yan hurriedly stepped forward to hold Jiang Jinyue who was about to run away, "We won't accept this order."

Jiang Jinyue was pushed back on the chair, and his whole heart was burning with anxiety, "You don't answer the door of death, there will always be other Jianghu customers, and people in Beijing will not be indifferent if they buy the news of him in Jiangnan..."

Besides...if it was Chen Xiangyu who bought his news...Jiang Jinyue stretched out his hand and scratched his hair...then Chen Xiangyu's private guards must have already arrived in the south of the Yangtze River.

Shuowang bent down to pick up the chess book, patted the ashes and handed it to Jiang Jinyue. Jiang Jinyue closed her eyes, took the chess book and put it in front of her.

Jiang Jinyue raised her head and looked at Shuowang: "I'll pay, can you save him?"

"This is a big matter," Zifu said for Shuowang, "We generally don't get involved, and taking you and that child is considered an exception."

In short, I don't want to cause trouble, and I can't cause trouble.

Jiang Jinyue took a deep breath, but couldn't say a word.

Several people sat in the courtyard in silence. After half an hour, Jiang Jinyue got up straight and walked into the room.It looks like he wants to lock himself up and calm down.

Nanyan and Zifu looked at each other, Zifu slapped him twice and dragged Nanyan away.

Shuo Wang was the only one left in the huge courtyard.

In the distance, a pair of Nie Hai's sons and daughters bounced towards the yard, Ye Yuan followed behind them, and beside him was a handsome man.

The noise caught Shuo Wang's attention, and he moved his beautiful peach eyes in their direction.Seeing him looking over, the two children shouted at Shuo Wang, "Brother Ah Shuo!!"

Immediately afterwards, he ran over with his short legs.

The two children cling to Shuo Wang affectionately, one and two want to be hugged by Shuo Wang.Shuowang picked up the little girl and touched her head. The little girl called "Brother" sweetly, and then reached out to grab the things on the table.

Ye Yu stayed at Suomingmen these days, and he grew up a little rounder than when he first saw it in Shangjing, with some flesh around his cheeks. She said, "Miss kisses you very much."

Shuo Wang let out a "Yeah", looked up and saw Ye Yuan was followed by Qing Mei whom he had seen in the brothel back then.At the beginning, with a few words, Cen Xian asked the Turkic Darhan to buy the manhualou Qingzi who had a contract of prostitution.

Seeing Shuo Wang looking at him, Meng Shang saw the scrutiny in Shuo Wang's eyes, and thought that this good-looking young man didn't like him, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Shuo Wang: "I have seen you, young man!"

Shuo Wang: "..."

This courage is too small.

"Aren't you redeemed by Cen Xian?" Shuo Wang looked at him, "Why..."

"Uh..." Meng Shang got confused for a moment before realizing who Shuo Wang was talking about, "You mean Xiao Lin'er?"

Shuo Wang suddenly stood up, "What did you call him?"

Meng Shang was taken aback by Shuo Wang's fierce look, and stammered, "Xiao Lin...Xiao Lin'er...We used to live together in a brothel...I've always called him that..."

"Did...did he change...changed his name?" Meng Shang was a little scared, and took two steps back on his knees. "My...Young Master, what's wrong?"

Shuowang's mind was in a mess. He remembered many years ago, when he found Wei Wang under the porridge shed, he knelt down and asked Wei Wang's name.

The kid about his age stared at him, guarding the porridge in the bowl, and whispered, "Xiao Lin'er."

He took two steps back and accidentally bumped into the little girl standing beside her. The little girl lost her hand and swept the chess record on the table to the ground.

The paper was blown away by the cold winter wind, and the Adam's apple rolled. He bent down to pick up the chess record, and he glanced at it. The handwriting inside was vigorous and powerful, familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.

The paper was turned over, and there was an incomplete chess record inside, and the four corners were scorched black by the fire.

The chess record is so familiar that even if it is incomplete, Shuo Wang can recognize at a glance what the score drawn on it looks like when it is complete.That was the last chess game he played with Wei Wang. He couldn't make it, so he said to the boy in black in front——

"Let's go down tomorrow."

Shuo Wang shook his hand, and the chess record almost fell out of his hand, and his back was drenched in cold sweat.

The long-standing delusion seemed to be confirmed all of a sudden, he grabbed the chess record and rushed into the room and kicked Jiang Jinyue's door open!

Jiang Jinyue was annoyed when the door was kicked and she jumped up, pointing at Shuowang's nose and scolding: "What the hell are you crazy about!"

Immediately afterwards, Shuo Wang, who was holding a chess record with red eyes and was about to cry, was taken aback, and stammered, "I just yelled at you...you..."

Before he finished speaking, Shuo Wang's trembling voice interrupted him: "Whose game record is this?"

"Whose?"

"Cen Xian, I borrowed it..." Before Jiang Jinyue could finish "Look", Shuo Wang slammed the door and went out!

The door was kicked and fell, and it fell apart. Jiang Jinyue didn't know what was causing Shuowang, so she hurried out, and when she stepped out of the door, she saw Shuowang suddenly pulled out the horizontal knife stuck in the mud, He had a ferocious look on his face looking for revenge.

"Mr. Ye!" Nie Hai's sons and daughters suddenly pulled Ye Yuan to look at the sky, "The clouds over there are puffing out smoke!"

A group of people looked over and saw thick smoke rising from the southwest direction. Shuo Wang was stunned for a moment, then heard Zi Fu who came back to look for Shuo Wang and shouted on the wall: "It seems that Zhizhou Mansion is on fire!! Eh!! What are you doing, Shuo Wang go!!"

Before he finished speaking, Shuo Wang had already run away with a knife and light kung fu, leaving only afterimages.Hearing his lingering sound, Zifu gritted his teeth and felt distressed——

"Find someone!"
