Outside the Zhou Mansion, there were boiling shouts and flames. Inside the Zhou Mansion, more than a dozen spies' war horses were tied to the trees in the courtyard. They were disturbed by the restless atmosphere and tapped their hooves uneasily.

Someone pushed hard at the gate of Zhou Mansion, and the door latch shook and made a loud roar.

Yunyang looked at Chen Ji: "The Liu family may be able to break down the door in less than a quarter of an hour. No one can guarantee what will happen then. Can you find evidence within a quarter of an hour?"

Another quarter of an hour.

Chen Ji asked himself, could he really decipher the secret of this book in a quarter of an hour? Impossible.

His face was hidden under the gray cloth. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment before replying: "Not even a quarter of an hour, I need at least..."

Outside Zhou's mansion, someone interrupted his thoughts with a loud roar: "People inside, listen, come out and explain to us quickly. If there is evidence, you will show it. If there is no evidence, let the murderer pay with his life."

!”

But he saw Yunyang tucking the hem of his robe into his belt, casually pulling out a long knife from the spy's waist and walking towards the door: "Seven pieces, five loaves, guard the door for me, Jiaotu."

You go and look at the back wall. Anyone who dares to break in will be treated as treasonous and will be killed! Chen Ji, give you a quarter of an hour to find the evidence, or we will die here together!"

Chen Ji no longer hesitated, turned around and closed the door and entered the house, blocking out the noise from the outside world.

He opened the "Annotations to the Four Books and Chapters" copied by Cheng Yi this week and quickly screened it with all the ancient secret message techniques in his memory to see which method the other party used to transmit the message.

Is it a Tibetan calligraphy method? No.

Is it a word verification method? No...

Is it word analysis?

The so-called "character analysis method", for example, Qianlicao is the word "Dong", and Ten Day Divination is the word "Zhuo", to hide information.

If it is the word analysis method, it will be troublesome. It is not difficult to crack, but the workload is huge and it takes only a few days to crack it!

Time passed by, and the gate of Zhou Mansion might be pushed down by the excited crowd at any time. In this cool autumn day, a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from Chen Ji's forehead.

It's not a calligraphy analysis method. I searched for it for a long time, but there wasn't a single clue that matched the calligraphy analysis method!

what to do?

Chen Ji closed the book, closed his eyes and thought...

etc!

The answer to a problem often lies in the problem itself!

An idea flashed in Chen Ji's mind, and he turned around and rummaged through the bookshelf, one, two, three... The more books he looked through, the brighter his eyes became.

At this time, the noise outside gradually subsided, and the tranquility after the noise felt strange.

Someone shouted loudly through the door: "Liu family Liu Mingming, please open the door and see Mr. Yunyang."

The spies looked at Yunyang silently.

Jiaotu whispered: "Liu Mingming, the son of Mr. Liu Ge, the grandson of Mr. Liu, is now the head of the second house of the Liu family, and is currently the general magistrate of Luo City, from the fifth rank."

Yunyang thought for a moment and threw the long knife in his hand to a secret agent: "Open the door, don't weaken the prestige of our secret agent department!"

With a creaking sound, the red lacquer door slowly opened inward, and hundreds of people holding torches outside were waiting quietly.

Liu Mingming stood on horseback among the crowd, standing out from the crowd like a chicken.

But he was seen wearing white linen, a mourning hat on his head, his eyes were red, and even the brown horse under him had white silk flowers tied on its chest.

Yunyang walked forward and finally stood within the threshold: "Master Liu, Xiao gathered hundreds of people to besiege the Secret Intelligence Department in the middle of the night, but are you planning to rebel?"

"I don't dare," Liu Mingming's voice was hoarse and he held the reins tightly: "I'm just here to ask Mr. Yunyang why my Liu family was arrested for no reason? Is there any evidence?"

"Of course!" Yunyang said firmly.

"Then take it out and have a look. If I, the son of the Liu family, are really guilty, let him be left alone!"

Yunyang shook his head: "I can't show it to you now. This matter involves confidentiality and needs to be presented to the Internal Secretary."

Liu Mingming rode his horse forward and confronted Yunyang inside the door. He said angrily: "That means there is no evidence! If you just send me away like this, where will the honor of my long-standing minister of the Liu family be? What's the matter with the old man?

Can I rest in peace? How can I explain to the Queen Mother?"

"Master Liu, I advise you not to bear the crime of treason on yourself," Yun Yang refused to pay attention anymore and stepped back into the shadow of the Zhou Mansion: "Close the door, if anyone dares to break into the Zhou Mansion, he will be punished for treason!

"

The door was closed again, and Liu Mingming's face was illuminated by the shaking fire, which made him look ferocious: "The eunuchs are causing harm to the country. They are just poisonous hawks and dogs... Call Liang Gou'er and be ready to break down the door at any time."

The young man hesitated for a moment: "Second uncle, Liang Gou'er was drinking in Hongyi Lane at night. He may have fallen asleep in some girl's room at this time... Do we need to use him?"

Liu Mingming sneered: "It takes a thousand days to raise an army. Let him come quickly with his broken sword. If I can't see him later, I will cut off his wine money and the medicinal materials used for his practice."

Come, get some firewood and pile it on the wall of Zhou's mansion, and then set it on fire to force them out!"

…

…

Yunyang, who returned quickly, was not as calm as before: "White Rabbit, the other party has murderous intentions!"

Jiaotu blinked: "Liu obviously wants to rebel?"

Yunyang sighed: "He did not bring Luo City soldiers and horses tonight. He made it clear that it was just a family matter. If he is determined to avenge his grandfather, he may be sent to the army afterwards, but you and I will die in vain.

. This kind of thing can be big or small. How to determine it? Isn’t it a matter of just a word from the temple officials? Civil servants steal the country! No wonder the golden pig said when he left Beijing that the credit for this trip was a bit hot, but he was still smart..."

The White Rabbit blinked again: "Then what should we do? Let's run away before they surround the back wall."

Yunyang hesitated: "If you just run away, where is the majesty of our Secret Service?"

The White Rabbit rolled his eyes: "Then I'll run away by myself."

Yunyang: "Run together!"

"But there is a problem here," Jiaotu looked at Chen Ji with a smile: "What should he do? It's no problem for the spies to kill him, but if there is a master hidden in the Liu family's team, it will be a burden to take him with him."

After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and then looked at Chen Ji.

Yunyang picked up the two "Annotations to the Four Books of Chapters" on the table with an expressionless face: "Throw him here, the book has been obtained, of course someone from the Secret Service can decipher it."

Jiaotu said: "We have to kill this kid, otherwise if he falls into the hands of the Liu family, they will know that we have no evidence, and he will become a witness."

These two snake-like figures fell out of love faster than turning the pages of a book, and decided to leave the traces behind. The rabbit made a gesture to the spies, but saw more than a dozen spies silently sheathed their knives and quickly retreated towards the back wall.

Even their horses gave up.

Yunyang and Jiaotu thought that Chen Ji would cry and beg them to take them with them, but they didn't.

Chen Ji stood in front of the bookshelf, taking down one book after another from the bookshelf and flipping through it quickly, as if he didn't hear the conversation between Yunyang and Jiaotu.

He didn't read every book in detail. Most of them were briefly browsed and then discarded on the ground, as if he was looking for something with a clear purpose.

A thick layer of books had been thrown at Chen Ji's feet, almost burying it up to his knees.

Finally, he threw all the books to the ground and fell into deep thought.

Just when Jiaotu was about to silence him, he heard Chen Ji suddenly ask: "Don't you two want to find evidence that the Liu family's children are collaborating with the enemy?"

…

…

Chen Ji closed the books in his hands and stepped out of the pile.

Yunyang and Jiaotu looked at each other, and Jiaotu asked curiously: "Why do I feel that he is a little different from that night?"

"It's different."

"Hey," Jiaotu tilted his head and looked at Chen Ji: "Have you cracked the secret in that book?"

Chen Ji said firmly: "I already know where the evidence is that the Liu family's children are collaborating with the enemy."

Yunyang was confused: "You're not lying and want us to take you away, are you?"

Chen Ji said: "I'm just a young apprentice in a medical clinic. Even if I trick you into taking me out, won't I still be killed by you?"

Yunyang looked at him with a smile but not a smile: "Then tell me where the evidence is?"

Chen Ji tied the gray cloth covering his face a little tighter and calmly analyzed: "Tonight is a fight between the foreign relatives group and the ceremonial supervisor. The internal minister clearly knows that you are not good at handling this kind of situation, but he did not send a more diplomatic

The sophisticated people are here to use your character as a knife to attack the Liu family. If you two can't find any evidence and run away, I'm afraid you will be punished when you return to the ceremonial supervisor, right?"

"Threaten me?" Yunyang narrowed his eyes.

"Lord Yunyang, even if I tell you now where the evidence is, without me, you probably wouldn't know how to find it," Chen Ji responded.

On the other side, Jiaotu had already made a decision. She called a spy: "Seventy thousand, take him with you and save his life!"

Everyone evacuated towards the back wall of Zhou Mansion. Jiaotu quickly jumped over the wall and stood guard outside, waiting for her to say: "No one is there, hurry up!"

Yunyang then stood at the base of the wall and used his hands to build a ladder, sending spies one after another onto the gray tiles of the wall.

When it was Chen Ji's turn to climb over the wall, he stepped on Yunyang's hands with his left foot, suddenly stopped and said seriously: "Master Yunyang, your contribution this time is beyond your imagination."

Yunyang sneered: "You want to step on me deliberately for a while, right? You really don't think I can see it, so get over here!"

After saying that, he pushed the traces up the wall with both hands.

However, they had just turned over and saw a group of Liu family members holding dry firewood in their arms, preparing to come to Zhou Mansion to set fire to the house. When the Liu family members saw the figure of the Secret Service, they roared: "Come quickly, they are coming from behind." Run away!"

The Secret Service was not interested in fighting, and quickly walked through the deep alleys of Luo City. Yunyang lowered his voice and asked: "Where are we going to find evidence now?"

Chen Ji asked: "What was the name of the person who died in prison?"

"Liu Shiyu!"

"Go to his house first!"

Chen Ji followed the spy and ran wildly through the streets of Luo City.

The cool night breeze drifted along the bluestone roads of Luo City, making everyone's clothes fly and their hair messy.

There was darkness in front of him, and there were shouts of killing behind him. At a certain moment, Chen Ji felt as if he had become a non-returning guest in this world.
Chapter completed!
