The ever-burning lanterns in the Ziyan Building have always been lit one at a time, three at a time. But today, things suddenly changed. All the wall lamps were lit up, and the originally dark building became bright.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Xingyun knows me!" At this time, Lu Qin was sitting on Lu Xingyun's main seat with great enjoyment, drinking the grape wine in the wine table: "By the way, Xingyun, I heard that you usually don't like light, but suddenly Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to light up all the wall lamps in the building?”
"What are you saying, Patriarch!" Lu Xingyun stood respectfully and said in a deep voice, "It's not that Xingyun doesn't like the light, it's just that he has been in charge of the Purple Smoke Pavilion for the Patriarch, so he can only keep a low profile and dare not slack off one day!"
"Hahahaha!" Lu Qin swept away the useless look in Xiao Shiyu's study and became very capable: "Xingyun is still so good at talking. It seems that I gave you the Purple Smoke Pavilion to take charge of. Done wrong.”
"Thank you for the compliment, Master." Seeing that Lu Qin's wine cup was empty, Lu Xingyun took the wine pot and poured wine while saying: "But now there is a crisis in the cabinet. If it is not handled properly, there will be a disaster. How can Xingyun dare to make the decision without authorization? , please let the head of the family decide."
"Interesting! He actually brought Fire Seal Silver into Ziyan Pavilion?" Lu Qin's eyes flashed with strong murderous intent, but his face was calm: "Xingyun, how many forces in the pavilion are related to Fire Seal Silver? "
"The Fire Seal Silver fell from the Security Department of the Jingwei Mansion!" Lu Xingyun handed the thirty taels of Fire Seal Silver left by Manager Pei to Lu Qin, and continued: "According to Xingyun's investigation, There are three forces related to silver in the pavilion: An Dafang of the Jingwei Mansion, Liu Ningshi of the Zhongshu Mansion, Zuo Tianhao, a businessman in the pavilion, and an unidentified woman in black; As for those that could not be verified..."
"Our Ziyan Pavilion hasn't been so lively for a long time!" Lu Qin drank the wine and repeatedly played with the Fire Seal Silver in his hand, remaining silent for a while.
"Master! These people are making trouble like this, why don't you..." Lu Xingyun made a knife gesture.
"Xingyun, I'm sure that if we attack these people directly, we won't be successful, but there will be a lot of trouble in the future." Lu Qin shook his hand and directly rejected Lu Xingyun's proposal: "It's just... "
"It's just what, do you still want the head of the family to make it clear?" Lu Xingyun couldn't help but blurt out when he saw that Lu Qin had betrayed him.
"Hmph! Let's not talk about what means the two from Jingwei Mansion and Zhongshu Mansion used to break through the secret passage in Beiying and reach the pavilion. Let's talk about the other so-called merchants who have been mixed up in the pavilion in recent years. , Do you just rely on your own eyes and two hands?" Although Lu Qin is young and mediocre in appearance, he can analyze the problem to the point.
"Does home living mean that these people have cultivated their own skills in the pavilion for a long time?" Lu Xingyun felt cold sweat break out on his spine after listening to Lu Qin's words.
"Otherwise why is it so rampant?" Lu Qin smiled and took a sip of grape wine: "Xingyun, you won't tell me that you don't pay attention to these things, right?"
"Of course not! Xingyun has already paid attention to what the heads of the various families think. I just want to ask for instructions on how to deal with these details!" Lu Xingyun was able to stand out from the Lu family and take charge of Ziyan Pavilion. He was naturally not a mediocre person; he was just marveling at Lu Xingyun. Qin's insight is so powerful, even though he doesn't care about the affairs in the cabinet all year round, he still sees things clearly.
"If you cut the grass without eradicating the root, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows." Lu Qin slapped the empty wine on the table respectfully, and made a horizontal stroke with his right palm: "Kill them all."
"But what if such a large-scale action affects the business in the cabinet in the future?" Lu Xingyun also thought about doing this, but he hesitated when he thought that it would scare the merchants and destroy years of accumulation.
"In extraordinary times, we do extraordinary things." Lu Qin's fat, seemingly friendly face showed the determination to kill and kill: "If the Purple Smoke Pavilion is gone, then what business is there?"
"Xingyun understands!" Lu Xingyun was shocked. He knew the seriousness of the matter, but he did not expect it to be so serious: "Master, are the three stewards involved in this operation?"
"Well!" Lu Qin hesitated for a while and said, "Let Zhang Botian and Pei Yi each lead a team to participate. As for Lao Lu, let him go to the three-day appointment. The rules on the surface must still be maintained! "
"Yes!" Lu Xingyun bowed his head and walked down to the pavilion.
"Come down!" After Lu Xingyun completely left, Lu Qin clapped his hands, and the masked man who was leaning on the beam jumped down.
"Your body skills have improved a lot!" Lu Qin praised: "You followed me into the pavilion and no one noticed you."
"Master, if you need to do something humble, just ask me!" The masked man's eyes showed an impatient look.
"Of course it's a very important matter." Lu Qin pointed two fingers at the masked man: "Come here."
"Boom!" As a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, thunder and heavy rain followed one after another; in the bedroom in the back hall of Ziyan Clothes Shop, the shopkeeper in white silk pajamas was awakened, and what he saw was a few bright plain knives. .
"You, who are you, how did you get in..." Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, Pu's knife had been inserted into his chest.
"Hmph! Dispose of the body quickly and go to the next place." The leading man sneered, turned and left.
Almost at the same time, there was a bloody storm in Ziyan Pavilion. People were dying in Ziyan Poultry House, Ziyan Bank, Ziyan Restaurant and other places. This night was destined to not be peaceful.
At that moment, the air was filled with light mist, and the heavy rain in the middle of the night turned into a gentle drizzle, falling on the shoulders of Tong Bo who was resting under the eaves.
"Who is it?" Tong Bo, who was in a light sleep, suddenly moved his earlobes, his eyes suddenly opened, and a figure fell in front of him.
"Zijie, why is it you?" Tong Bo came closer and bent down to help him up: "What happened? Who hurt you like this?"
"Several men in black suddenly broke into the bank last night. They couldn't help but kill me when they found my place. They raised their knives and chopped me!" Zi Jie has been in the pavilion for several years and has never seen such a cruel killer. Tong Bo's right hand couldn't help but tremble.
"Intrusion into the men in black?" Tong Bo secretly inspected Zi Jie's wounds and asked, "What are the backgrounds of these people? Are they your enemies?"
"I have been working as a cook at the bank since I entered the cabinet. How can I have any enemies?" Zi Jie tried hard to control his emotions: "When I was escaping, I seemed to have seen Qian Guards being poisoned as well."
"Thousands of guards?" Tong Bo frowned and thought to himself: "This kid has four or five fatal wounds on his body. The person who comes here will attack with fatal blows without mercy."
"Ah!" The door of the room opened, and An Dafang came out yawning. Seeing Zi Jie's weak appearance, he asked, "Xiang Yun, who is this person who was injured so seriously?"
"His name is Zi Jie, he is my friend!" Tong Bo waved to An Da Fang: "Dafang! You help him well, and I will help him apply medicine."
"Okay!" An Dafang replaced Tong Bo to support Zi Jie, but his eyes were looking around: "Xiang Yun, where is Ning Shi?"
"Miss Liu hasn't seen Tai Tu for a long time. I want to go back and have a look." Tong Bo said casually while helping Zi Jie apply the golden sore medicine.
"What? You said Ning Shi left the court?" An Dafang was so excited that he pinched Zi Jie's injured arm: "How could you let her go? How dangerous would it be?"
"Ouch!" Zi Jie was squeezed so hard that he screamed. An Dafang just came back to his senses and apologized: "I'm sorry, brother, I was too excited."
"This person is really, how could he safely leave Miss Liu alone in the Shicheng Inn!" Tong Bo was almost speechless by An Dafang, so he had to change the topic: "Dafang! Miss Wen's injury is better. ?"
"Well! After Ningshi's treatment, she's much better!" An Dafang's eyes were full of tenderness when he mentioned Wen Lin.
"In that case, we should go back to the bank." Tong Bo applied the Jinchuang medicine on Zijie's last wound and said with a smile, "How is it? Can we still leave?"
"Is it okay to leave? But will it be dangerous if we return to the bank?" Zi Jie looked at Tong Bo in surprise.
"You have to go back even if it's dangerous." Tong Bo looked at An Dafang helplessly: "The three-day deadline has expired, and we must have an explanation for Wang Junchen's matter."
"Xiangyun, you must have found out what happened?" An Dafang clenched his fists: "After I clear my grievances, I must settle the score with Zhang."
"Da Fang! Why don't you go in and see Miss Wen?" Tong Bo said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry! I will take care of Zi Jie's injuries."
As the saying goes, stupid people are blessed. In the back hall of Ziyan Qianzhuang, Xiao Liu and Huan Yu, who were covered in dust and frost, were restless and anxious, while the silly Li Shu was fast asleep, snoring loudly.
"No! We can't wait any longer." Huan Yu stood up and said, "Sister Ning Shi's life or death is uncertain, and an assassin broke into the village last night. Let's go to Zhi Zhuang to have a look!"
"We can't go now!" Xiao Liu stretched out his hand to stop Huan Yu: "Those two people are too powerful. We finally got away. If we go again, wouldn't we be in the tiger's mouth?"
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to stay here and do nothing?" Huan Yu put his right hand on Xiao Liu's outstretched arm, trying to push him away.
"If we really want to go, we can't go together!" Xiaoliu blamed himself for not being able to eliminate the missing fire in the courtyard. He picked up the bamboo stick and walked out: "It's better for Xiaoliu to go alone."
"This is not possible!" Huan Yu stopped in front of Xiao Liu again: "Let Yu'er go."
"None of you need to go, there are more important things to do later!" Just as the two were arguing, Tong Bo pushed in the door with Zi Jie on his back.
"Brother Xiangyun, are you okay?" Huan Yu looked at Tong Bo and An Dafang filing in and asked, "Where's sister Ningshi, why didn't you come back together? Could it be..."
"Miss Yu, don't think so wildly!" Tong Bo gently placed Zi Jie against the wall and said with a smile, "Miss Liu will leave the pavilion first."
"Brother Xiaoliu, what accident did you encounter outside the village? Tell us about it." Tong Bo calculated the time in his mind and still had a moment of leisure.
