In the main hall of Sinong Mansion, four flowing Chinese characters like "Tiandao rewards Qin" hang above the yellow wooden chair in the center. Under the yellow wooden chair, the first six black wooden chairs and black wooden tables are placed in an orderly manner in two rows on the left and right. Zhang Peizhi, a farmer sitting on a wooden chair, was stroking his long gray beard with a blushing face.

"This time, I have the opportunity to be transferred to the Imperial Guards Zuoying Commandery because of your recommendation. Wuyan would like to thank you for your kindness." Ye Wuyan, the resident of Baihuyuan, knelt on one knee and bowed to Zhang Peizhi respectfully with both hands. .

"Hahaha, it's serious. I have always valued Hu'er, a child who is mature, stable and neat in doing things. It is too unworthy to just stay in the Jingwei Mansion as an ordinary guard." Zhang Peizhi made a standing gesture towards Ye Wuyan: "Speechless, sit down."

"Thank you, Sir." Ye Wuyan patted the dust on his knees and carefully sat down under Zhang Pei: "I wonder what the Lord wants to do with Wu Yan?"

"Hey! It's not like my two girls. Ever since I met Ye Hu at the last Jinling Lantern Festival, I haven't forgotten him." Zhang Peizhi laughed happily and said, "Wuyan, do you think they are a good match?"

"Oh, what virtues and abilities does this kid Hu'er have to win the admiration of the second young lady? They are so-called gentle ladies and gentlemen, so naturally they are a perfect match." Ye Wuyan looked flattered.

"Hahaha, okay! It's rare that you and I want to get together, so how about we set a date to get married like this?" Zhang Peizhi heard Ye Wuyan say this, and immediately laughed from ear to ear.

"It's all up to you, sir." Ye Wuyan bowed again.

"Dong dong dong", just as Tong Bo, Liu Ningshi and Huan Yu were looking at each other, there were knocks on the door.

"Please come in." Liu Ningshi calmed down her emotions and called softly.

The door of the wing opened with a "squeak", and the first person to enter was a man with a ghostly face, followed closely by a fat young man in Chinese clothes.

"Lord Ghost Face?" Huan Yu asked in surprise, "Why are you here, and who is this friend behind you?"

"So Miss Yu is here too?" Ghost Face pointed at Tong Bo and shouted angrily, "Isn't it because of this guy's flying pigeon messenger that he came here?"

"Wow, Xiangyun, there are actually two beauties here?" The fat boy sat down between Liu Ningshi and Tong Bo without any hesitation, and looked at Liu Ningshi with an expression on his face: " Can you tell me the name of this sister?"

"I hate it, how can this fat brother ask for a girl's name first? How rude!" Liu Ningshi held her chin with a jade hand, and her watery eyes kept blinking at the fat boy: "What should I say? You have to introduce yourself first."

"Sister is right, I'm being rude." The fat boy's eyes suddenly blurred, he stood up and twisted his fat waist like a bucket: "My last name? Hey, why can't I suddenly remember who the last name is? ?”

"Humph!" Liu Ningshi snorted softly, turned her head and never looked at the fat boy again.

"This girl must be Miss Liu!" Ghost Face had a wonderful look in his eyes: "I have long heard Xiangyun praise the girl's phantom sound skill, and today I saw that she is indeed well-deserved."

"Okay kid, don't say any polite words." Tong Bo slapped the fat boy's Baihui point with his palm: "Let's get down to business. What did you find there?"

"Hey, is this what I am doing? Xiangyun, why are you filming me?" The fat boy's blurred eyes finally returned to normal.

"If I don't wake you up, why don't I let you jump in this room?" Tong Bo looked at the fat boy helplessly: "Okay, take the kid's side."

"Giggle!" Huan Yu beside Liu Ningshi could no longer hold back, holding her stomach and laughing.

After the two sat down again, Tong Bo solemnly introduced him again: "I believe you all know the identity of this ghost face. He is the head of the three great eagle hunters in Tingwei Mansion; this fat brother is the Su family, one of the four major families in Jinling." Third Young Master Su."

"Are the four major families in Jinling very powerful?" Huan Yu asked in confusion.

"Ignorant! The four major families in Jinling are the Yuan, Zhang, Gong, and Su families. They represent the scholars, farmers, industry, and merchants in Jinling City respectively. The great minister of the current dynasty, Zhang Peizhi, Mr. Zhang, is the representative of the Zhang family, and I The Su family owns half of the shops in the city." The fat boy said this with pride on his face.

"Well, Mr. Su is right. Tianyi Gambling House is one of the Su family's industries." Tong Bo nodded.

"Xiangyun, you have the nerve to say that! I gave you a name card with good intentions, but you picked Monk Wu Shi and Taoist Jin Chan in my place. How do you want me to explain to Rufeng?" The fat boy drank angrily. Next cup of tea.

"If I didn't do this at that time and let Ge Er taste the sweetness, how could he be fooled? You must know that he is also a guard of Xuanwu Academy, and he is not so easy to scheme." Tong Bo waved his hand: "As for the pair of monks, I’ll give you an explanation.”

"Speaking of that Ge Er, he is just a small role in the killer organization, and he doesn't know much about it." Ghost Face took over the words: "We found out at the night market that the rosemary powder was bought by this Ge Er, and he also Confess."

"The Liu Mansion's assassination was only two hours behind the Wei Yiguan's assassination, and Wei Guanyi's guards were not weak. What I don't understand is, how can the killer control the time so accurately?" Tong Bo said. I was puzzled.

"Brother Ghost Face, Ning Shi also has this question?" Liu Ningshi was also confused.

"Ge Er has already taken action on this point. Someone provided the killer with the moment when Liu Mansion and Wei Yiguan's defenses were weakest!" Ghost Face took out a sketch from his arms: "But he only saw the back of that person; this is I asked someone to draw a back view based on Ge Er’s description.”

"You can't accurately find this person just by looking at his back!" Tong Bo handed the bag to Liu Ningshi who was aside: "Have you found the two missing bodies?"

"After you left, I sent people to search the yard of the house where Ge Er and the others were hiding, and finally found it in the hay shed in the backyard." Ghost Face nodded slightly: "Their fatal wounds were also caused by Zhang Da and Ge Er. "Zhang Da and Ge Er usually take orders from Qiongqi. Their organization has strict rules and all orders are based on tokens, otherwise they will not obey orders."

"Yeah! I know this. Did you confirm it when you were fighting with that old fox Qiongqi?" Tong Bo touched his chin: "Still the same question, why did you just remove these two corpses?"

"Could it be that these two people took away something important from Ge Er and the others?" Liu Ningshi asked tentatively.

"Kid, these two corpses must have been searched, right?" Tong Bo asked.

"I've searched them all and found nothing." Ghost Face shook his head.

"This back figure seems familiar. I think I've seen it somewhere before?" Huan Yu held the portrait high and looked left and right.

"Where have you seen it?" Everyone looked at Huan Yu.

"Let me think about it! Where have I seen it before?" Huan Yu tilted his head and kept thinking: "By the way, this back looks very much like Ye Weiwei!"

"Which Ye Guard?" Tong Bo asked.

"That's Ye Hu, the son of Ye Wuyan, the dean of the White Tiger Academy! He has a very good relationship with the dean of my family. One time I just saw the backs of the two of them walking from a distance, and I thought they looked very similar to the ones in the portrait. "Huan Yu explained.

"Ye Wuyan's young master?" Tong Bo thought thoughtfully.

"Is something wrong?" Liu Ningshi couldn't help but ask when Tong Bo stopped talking.

"Nothing! Brother Su, please check this person of Ye Hu." Tong Bo looked at the fat boy with a smile on his face.

"Xiangyun, every time I see that malicious smile of yours, I feel trembling all over." The fat boy said with a displeased look on his face: "I'm in business, I can check it for you. All the money I owe you has to be paid off."

"My money is kept with Miss Liu. You can ask her for it." Tong Bo pointed to Liu Ningshi beside him.

"Fat brother, just help me!" Liu Ningshi started acting coquettishly towards the fat boy.

"I... Hey, well, I am a loyal person." The fat boy looked at Liu Ningshi, fearing that he would offend her again.

"Miss Yu, please send a message to him to tell him that Miss Liu has returned and ask him to withdraw all his guards." Tong Bo looked at Liu Ningshi again: "I wonder if Miss Liu is interested in following me to visit Wei Yiguan again? ?”

"Why don't you dare?" Liu Ningshi smiled at Tong Bo.

The courtyard of the Ye Mansion is neither as wide as the courtyard of the Liu Mansion nor as narrow as the courtyard of the Protector of the Xuanwu Academy. It has a sense of mediocrity. Ye Hu holds a shining simple sword and dances like a tiger, and the dust around him is like a tiger. Swirling in circles under the powerful internal force.

"Whoosh", a long sword flew towards him in the wind. Ye Hu stepped on his feet, turned around in mid-air, held the handle of the sword tightly with his backhand, and blocked the sword in front of him.

"Dang", the long sword hit the blade surface and bounced back. Ye Hu holding the sword fell straight down without moving at all.

"Haha, Hu'er, your edge-breaking sword skills have improved a lot." Ye Wuyan retracted the sword with one hand and praised.

"Dad, why did you come to see me at this hour?" Ye Hu asked in confusion. Ye Wuyan was usually at the White Tiger Courtyard at this hour.

"Do you still remember the second lady of the Zhang family of Da Sinong?"

"I remember, Miss Zhang Er was separated from her family during the Jinling Lantern Festival. The child happened to be on a mission in that area that day. Seeing that she was in a mess, he went up to ask about the situation, and then sent her back to Sinong Mansion. .Dad, why did you suddenly mention this matter today?" Ye Hu also put the Pu knife back into the scabbard on his waist.

"Master Zhang called my father to the Sinong Mansion today. He intends to betroth the second young lady to you, Hu'er. He has also recommended you to be the commander of the left camp of the Imperial Guard." Ye Wuyan said with a happy smile: "That's the way for my father. Then you don’t have to worry about your identity as an unjust and dishonest guard.”

"Dad?" Ye Hu opened his mouth in shock: "Miss Zhang Er and I only have a one-time relationship, and we have no feelings. Besides, dad also knows that the child likes Ruoshui."

"Humph, if a man has a bright future, why worry about being without a wife? Si Ruoshui is now the head of the Xuanwu Academy. Do you think your little guard status is worthy of her?" Ye Wuyan stepped forward and patted her. He patted Ye Hu on the shoulder: "Hu'er, dad won't force you. You have been very smart since you were a child. I believe you will figure out some things."

After saying that, Ye Wuyan turned around and entered the house, but his words lingered in Ye Hu's ears for a long time.
