By the time Xue Ruitian and Shen Cha appeared in the dungeon, as Shen Haolin and Jin Jing expected, it was already after lunch.
Seeing Shen Haolin and Jin Jing who had been waiting inside and chatting with shopkeeper Heji, Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao looked at each other, both of them looking a little embarrassed.
Shen Cha woke up once before, and after chatting with Xue Ruitian for a few words, he went back to sleep for a while, while Jin Miaomiao started sleeping since he came back. It can be said that he slept until he woke up naturally.
"Hey, our sleeping gods are finally here." Jin Jing looked at Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao with a smile, and then looked at Xue Ruitian who was sitting calmly next to Shen Haolin, "Master Hou, I originally asked you to stare at I didn’t expect you to wake up late with these two.”
"So what?"
"No, I don't dare." Jin Jing waved her hands, walked to Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Are you so angry?"
"I didn't sleep well last night. I wanted to go back to sleep, but I couldn't because I was disturbed by the wine." Jin Miaomiao raised an eyebrow, "Don't provoke him. Wait until his energy subsides." ”
"I know." Jin Jing nodded, quietly sat down next to Xue Ruitian, and whispered, "Didn't you sleep well?"
"Yeah!" one time."
"He didn't tell you that he suffered a huge blow last night?"
"He didn't say it. Thirteen told me. When he complained to me, I just pretended not to know." Xue Ruitian yawned, watched Shen Cha walk to the shopkeeper Heji, and said in a low voice, "We'll talk later. I want to see what he has to say."
Before Jin Jing had time to speak, she saw Shen Haolin stand up and walk to Shen Cha's side, communicating with her in a low voice.
"Xiao Cha, let me introduce you." Shen Haolin led Shen Cha and walked to the shopkeeper Heji, "Shopkeeper He from Heji, this is my roommate."
"General!"
He bowed slightly to the shopkeeper, and he looked neither humble nor overbearing. However, when he saw the jade pendant hanging on Shen Cha's waist, his expression became more respectful, and he took the initiative to reveal the mark on his right arm, which was the same as the jade pendant hanging on Shen Cha's waist. The pattern is exactly the same.
Shen Cha used the method Xuanyuan Liang gave her to identify the mark of the shopkeeper, and finally confirmed that this was the person she was looking for.
"Nice to meet the shopkeeper, long time to see you!"
"I didn't expect to meet the general in such a place or in such a big battle."
"Yes..." Shen Cha took a deep breath, "What places did the old general ask you to keep an eye on?"
"The general is aware of this." He shopkeeper nodded, "My lord is worried that the city's defense is poor, and people with ulterior motives will use these key places to assassinate the Duke and the general when they return. However, When the little people see that the city is so heavily guarded, they are so wary of us. If we are caught, we will be caught, and we are relieved."
"Thank you!"
"It should be done." Shopkeeper He looked at Shen Cha, "General, is there something you want to ask the villain some questions?"
"Yes." Shen Cha thought for a while and briefly recounted the news he received from Ah Piao on the way, "Have you ever asked about the person behind Wanyan Qingmu? Are you sure he is a Japanese?"
"We can only say that there are Japanese people, but not entirely." He thought about it with the shopkeeper, "and..."
"And what?"
"We're not sure whether that organization is dominated by Japanese people." Shopkeeper He sighed softly, "The current situation in Yiqing Mansion is very chaotic. Wanyanping, oh, no, it should be Wanyanping's sister. , there are more than one party, our people, the general's people, Wanyan and Wen's people, and the mysterious force who is investigating the black hand behind the unjust case of Mrs. Xuehou like us. We don't know which party this force belongs to. Yes, but it’s not harmful to us.”
"How are you sure?"
"They are advancing the progress of the entire investigation and are actively cooperating." He thought about it with the shopkeeper, "If I remember correctly, the guard commander next to Wan Yanping is from over there."
"The one from the Hei family?"
"Yes, it's him. He is the abandoned son of the Hei family. He was abandoned as soon as he was born. He was adopted by someone and worked hard for that person. But the goal there is the same as ours. Except for the tragedy of Mrs. Xuehou, What they want to investigate is also the organization that seems to be Japanese. But..." He and the shopkeeper paused for a moment, "There are clues pointing to the person behind the black commander, who seems to be a member of the Song family."
"Song family?" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other, "Is it possible? We have met the Song family several times during the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and they have not..."
"It's not what you think. It's someone who shouldn't exist, but does exist, just like..."
"Senior Tantai?" Seeing He and the shopkeeper nodding slightly, Shen frowned, "Have you told them about this?"
"Are you two masters?" He shopkeeper nodded, "As I said, senior Tantai said that we don't need us to go deep into the investigation of the people behind the criminal leader. He has his own methods."
"Oh!" Shen Cha understood as soon as he heard it. In fact, before they left Xijing City, Senior Tantai revealed some information to them. However, they didn't quite understand what it meant at the time, but now they finally understand. "Then leave it to Senior Tantai to investigate. He should have the convenience in this regard."
"Wanyanping and her sister's aunt is the one who has close contacts with the so-called Japanese. There is no problem. She is indeed very ambitious, but she is not strong enough. She plotted against her sisters and her niece."
"What's the purpose? She first helped Wanyan Ping steal her scumbag father's throne, and now she persuaded Wanyan Qingmu to steal Wanyan Ping's. What's the purpose of this?"
"Simply enjoy the joy of this process." Shopkeeper He shrugged, "She likes the feeling of playing with people in the palm of her hand. She likes the feeling that you know it's me, but you don't dare to kill me. ..." He shook his head helplessly, "Look, even if Wanyan Ping's sister now knows that the person who kidnapped her is her aunt, and also knows that her aunt is related to her current mortal enemy Wanyan Qingmu, look at her Do you dare to really get rid of her? Once she gets rid of her, Wanyan Qingmu will have an excuse to attack Xijing City."
"Understood." Shen Cha nodded, "Next, let's talk about the main point, the people around Wanyan Qingmu." She exchanged a look with Shen Haolin, "How much do you know about Wanyan Qingmu? What's going on around him? How complicated is it? Does he know it?"
"We don't know that much about him, but at least we know a little more than you do. As for whether he knows there are so many informants around him, I think some should know, and some don't. But this We don’t have any evidence, and it’s hard for me to draw conclusions.”
"Understood." Shen Haolin nodded, "Does the shop owner know the origins of the people around him?"
"I still know these." Shopkeeper He held out three fingers, "There are at least three types of people around Wanyan Qingmu. I mean the informants sent to him come from three different places. One type is the two principals. The informants on are our companions, and there is another category of his allies, let’s put it this way for the time being, those nobles who besieged the city with him. The last category is the group of people we want to investigate, they seem to be Japanese , actually don’t know what the hell this thing is!”
