Rush ~

The river wind rustled, blowing the bamboo forest on the river bank.

Gongsun Duan was lying under the bamboo leaves with a knife and shield in his hand, carefully scanning the river bank with wind and grass, waiting for prey that could come at any time.

Because I don’t know if Xie Jinhuan will join the game and when will join the game, this kind of work on site is boring.

After a long time of scanning, Gongsun Duan saw no movement by the river. Instead, Zhou Ming'an in the house had been two quarters of an hour since he entered the house last time and had never appeared again.

As time went by, Gongsun Duan couldn't help but feel an unknown feeling in his heart. After a little consideration, he quietly got up and came under the wall, jumped up to check.

As a result, I found that the study room in the courtyard was on, the door was open, and standing on the wall, I could only see two legs hanging in the middle of the room...

"hiss?!"

Gongsun Duan's face changed suddenly and he rushed into the room quickly. It can be seen that Zhou Ming'an was hanging alone on the beam of the room. He had long since his tongue stuck out, and there was a pen on the table before his death.

The remaining four elite troops who were ambushing came outside the study room, and they were stunned when they saw this scene:

"What's going on?"

"I didn't see anyone here just now? Why did Lord Zhou die?"

"It seems that it is a suicide due to guilt..."

"How could he commit suicide by fart?!"

Gongsun Duan had just spoken to Zhou Mingan not long ago and would never believe that such a corrupt official could stop himself without saying a word, but they squatted around the house and did not find anyone approaching.

This trip is to lure Xie Jinhuan. The bait is eaten under the nose, and he will definitely not be able to submit the job when he returns.

Gongsun Duan could only search in the house at the moment, seeing that there were clues left.

But after checking with the imperial guards, no matter how they look, they feel that Zhou Mingan is hanging himself. After thinking about it, he said:

"No matter whether Zhou Mingan committed suicide or not, everyone is already dead, why don't we get some evidence..."

Gongsun Duan angrily said, "Catching the thief requires the current situation! Do you know where Xie Jinhuan is? If he is being summoned by the priest and the national master, you forged evidence and said that he killed someone, wouldn't this person be killed by us?"

"Uh... what the adults said."

"Go and notify Mr. Li..."

——

At the same time, inside the city.

A big red lantern was hung outside the gate of Li's mansion. Two sword-pressing guards stood on both sides of the steps, staring at the passing car and sedan chairs, and there were also guards patrolling around them.

Xie Jinhuan sat in a restaurant on the corner of the street, with several special dishes such as white chop chicken, fish thorns, camel hoof soup, etc., plus a pot of apricot blossom spring produced in Jiangzhou, enjoying a delicious midnight snack on his own.

After killing Zhou Ming'an, Xie Jinhuan did not take care of the five ambushers to prevent them from being attacked and went back to the city to the next stop - Li Gongpu.

He had lived in the capital for many years, and he knew "Eunuch Li". This person was a member of the Li family in Hualin. He passed the imperial examination in the fourth year of Jian'an. He first served as a proofreader in Chongwenguan. After the Jian'an Incident, he seized the opportunity and gained the trust of Emperor Qian, thus soaring into the sky.

As for how Li Gongpu was favored, there was a rumor in the capital that the emperor would smash his mouth and Li Gongpu would know what the emperor wanted to eat, and he had already prepared someone and waited outside the door.

This rumor must be exaggerated, but Li Gongpu is very good at guessing the will of the holy people. When he is a dog, he is indeed unmatched. He can do anything secretly without the emperor's words, and then take the initiative to take the blame and be scolded, and even be beaten by the emperor without any regrets.

Li Gongpu handled the Buyuntai in the palace, various gardens, and the emperor's favorite calligraphy, paintings, horses and other objects, and they were handled by Li Gongpu, and they did not even let the emperor pay too much money from the inner treasury.

Because he tried to let the emperor enjoy everything, but not let the emperor get stained, although Emperor Gan often scolded: "Li Gongpu, Li Gongpu, you really hurt me", he just didn't punish Li Gongpu severely, and even had his official position as a second-rank.

In fact, if anyone else is willing to kill such a sensible dog, he will never be willing to kill it unless he has to.

Although Li Gongpu was very greedy, he also understood where his power came from. He never touched the emperor's rebellion, and even made the court officials unable to do anything.

For example, if a private dealer climbs to the Immortal Sphere and burys gamblers alive, if you really pursue this matter, it is nothing more than killing your own nephew for justice.

If you kill him in a game, you have to throw Zhou Ming'an out as bait first. If he doesn't kill Zhou Ming'an, Li Gongpu will not force him to kill him.

Even if this matter is caused to the court, it will not do anything to Li Gongpu. After all, what can you scold Li Gongpu then?

Xie Jinhuan wants to assassinate the imperial officials, why did you send a few guards not letting others kill them?

If he uses a trick to steal Li Gongpu, his nature will be different.

Han Jingchuan and Zhou Mingan had just died. If Li Gongpu died suddenly, even if he made the traces perfectly, he would still put the word "murderer" on his forehead.

Even if the court abides by the law and suspicion of guilt, and kills his beloved dog on his back, causing the emperor to suspicion, can he continue to do it?

Therefore, Li Gongpu cannot be assassinated, and he can treat him with the same method!

If Li Gongpu sets a game for him, he has to make it back and kill it with his brain!

Ye Hongshang, as Apiao, couldn't eat with him, but at this time he was still sitting opposite the table, holding a small wine glass and shaking:

"What are you thinking? Is there any bad water in my stomach?"

Xie Jinhuan picked up fresh fish sashimi and put them in wine: "How can I say bad water? I am thinking about how to eliminate corrupt officials and clear the king's side. Li Gongpu is a special person, he does not make small mistakes and is extremely favored by the emperor. He has to deal with the emperor's side first, otherwise no matter how he kills it, he will cause trouble."

"Why would you bury a scarecrow, put the emperor's name, and have a witchcraft disaster?"

Xie Jinhuan thought about it briefly and felt that this method would kill all the people in the Wu League stationed in Beijing. Moreover, Li Gongpu had no motivation, and there were experts from various sects in the capital. As long as it was not really a downfall for the emperor, just burying a scarecrow would not be able to frame it.

"We have to find out the situation of Li Gongpu and the emperor first. Only with information can we find a mobile phone. When Princess Changning comes tomorrow, we will first inquire about the general situation."

While talking, Xie Jinhuan had a feast, prepared to finish his breakfast, and went back to practice with his glasses.

But before he finished drinking a pot of wine, the gate of Li's mansion suddenly opened, and a group of people came out from inside. The leader was a thin old man, and there was a guard next to him, talking about something along the way.

Xie Jinhuan could confirm from his position that the old man should be the Huangmen Lang Li Gongpu. He leaned slightly behind the window, ate the wine and food slowly, and looked at him secretly.

Gurulu...

Soon, Li Gongpu got on the carriage with the support of his entourage and drove towards the outer city. Xie Jinhuan leaned on the extraordinary perception of the third grade. When the convoy passed by the restaurant, he could vaguely hear the angry curses in the carriage:

"The person must have been killed by Xie Jinhuan. Gongsun Duan's food bucket was squatting in front of him and didn't catch any evidence?"

"Li Gongxi was angry. Gongsun Duan personally checked it and found no doubts. Zhou Mingan was indeed as decent as himself..."

"Fart. If he can't understand, he will notify the Imperial Heavenly Prison and Chilin Guard will come to check..."

"Mr. Li, Shu Beizhi said frankly. If Xie Jinhuan can assassinate Zhou Ming'an without knowing it, deal with Mr. Li..."

"He comes when he has the ability, and I don't believe in this evil..."

...

The carriage drove through the restaurant and the words were no longer heard clearly.

Xie Jinhuan picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and a little displeasure appeared in his eyes:

"This old bastard said I dare not touch him. This will not make him believe it. I am afraid I will not be able to close my eyes at night."

Ye Hongshang held his cheeks in both hands and thought about it for a while:

"Why would you cut off your horse's head and throw it on his bed and scare him?"

"This certainly won't work."

It’s not that Xie Jinhuan couldn’t do this, but he felt sorry for the innocent Xiaoma. After a little consideration, he turned his eyes to the Li Mansion, which had been closed:

"Li Gongpu must have gone out now, and he must have gone to Songhe Bay. There are not many people in his family. Such a corrupt official must have a lot of family resources!"

"?"

Ye Hongshang was stunned and nodded gently:

"It makes sense, go in and take a look?"

When Xie Jinhuan killed Li Gongpu, he had to find a way to make a plan first to avoid the emperor's suspicion and search the house in advance, so he didn't have to worry about what the emperor thought.

Now the money for medicinal materials is still more than 20,000 taels of silver. With the support of bulk fellow Taoists, it is difficult to collect them in a short time.

Li Gongpu is so big that he is in front of him, and he has a bad reputation for corruption and bribery. He dares to say that he dares not take action.

How can I be worthy of Li Gongpu's efforts to go out to find his guilt when he went out to find him for evidence of his crime if he didn't go in the house and even eat or take some interest first?

Thinking of this, Xie Jinhuan was too lazy to eat rice. After watching the convoy leave, he checked out and got up to the opposite street, bypassed the light and dark posts, and climbed into the wall...

...

The autumn moon is in the sky.

There was a silence in the luxurious mansion, and only a few servants could be seen walking around the front house.

Because the lord was not here, in order to prevent the affair between women and children in the house, the guards were mostly patrolling the outside house. The doors and windows of the main house by the lake in the back house were closed, and only one guest patrolled the courtyard and corridor.

Xie Jinhuan walked around the post and touched the main courtyard like a white ghost, and looked through the roof.

In order to cooperate, Ye Hongshang also turned into a red tights and covered his face with a red gauze. The silhouette looked like a hot-shaped female agent. After a little investigation, he hooked his hands.

Buzz buzz ~

A dragonfly sleeping on the canopy nearby was immediately disturbed and flew into the garden outside the wall, landed in the bushes, and its wings were flaming wildly, making a 'squeak' sound of grass.

"Um?"

The guest standing in the pavilion frowned, listened carefully, and then flew into the garden with his sword, carefully searching for the source of the sound.

Xie Jinhuan took this opportunity to turn over from the eaves and landed in front of the main house. After confirming that there was no trap for the mechanism, he quietly entered it.
