The news Luo Li brought back this time was crucial, but it also meant that they needed to take greater risks.
Chen Ping rubbed his swollen temples and returned to the room to prepare for a rest.
He buried his head in the copper basin and washed his face. The cold water instantly drove away his fatigue. There were drops of water on his face. When he raised his head, he was so frightened by the person in front of him that he almost jumped up.
"Why are you here!"
Luo Li appeared quietly in front of him. Chen Ping was really frightened. Fortunately, he calmed down quickly and asked while wiping his face: "What? The government patrol is here again?"
Luo Li folded his hands, leaned against the screen, looked at him, and shook his head.
"What's that for?"
Luo Li didn't speak for a while, and for the first time he showed a somewhat troubled look.
This made Chen Ping really curious, "What's the matter? Just tell me!"
Luo Li stared into Chen Ping's eyes and asked: "I killed Cheng Chang. Did it mess up your plan?"
Chen Ping never expected that Luo Li would say such a thing.
I secretly sighed in my heart: It’s so rare, my brother Luo, you finally have enlightenment!
Chen Ping put down the handkerchief in his hand and said with relief: "There are ways to investigate not killing people, and there are ways to investigate killing people."
After a pause, he continued: "I just think that you are not a murderous person. If you have deep hatred in your heart, no one will stop you from taking revenge. But I still hope that you can use safer methods and treat it as the advice of a friend.
."
It would be better if this method is more concealed and the movement is not too loud, so that Chen Ping can have more room.
Of course, this sentence was not spoken out loud. After all, it had to be done step by step, and his enthusiasm should not be dampened too much.
"Friend?" Luo Li looked Chen Ping up and down.
"Aren't we friends?" Chen Ping asked rhetorically.
Luo Li said nothing more, turned around in shock and left.
He left simply, leaving Chen Ping's words stuck in his throat. He was stunned for a while and then burst into laughter.
This Luo Li really has character.
Compared with a month ago when this person regarded everyone as nothing, his reaction at this time has been greatly improved.
It's a long night, and the lights in the other courtyard are gradually going dark.
When the east turned white and the sun illuminated the entire sky, Chen Fangping stood up.
Zhao Jin was practicing his fists and kicks in the courtyard, and Ye Chongwen and others were following behind, and they were also playing well.
Su Yiyi came over very early. She and her servants were preparing breakfast, and she said when she saw Chen Ping.
"You got up quite late today."
Chen Ping reviewed everything before going to bed last night, and also considered the current arrangements and subsequent actions. He thought too much and overslept, and he overslept all of a sudden.
"Why are you alone, Luo Li?" Chen Ping looked around and didn't find Luo Li.
"He went out and didn't say why."
Ye Chongwen just finished a set of punches, put down his sleeves and panted and replied.
"Now we are at the cusp of the storm, and his character of acting without authorization is really dangerous." Su Lin said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter. Since he agreed, he will definitely not act recklessly." Chen Ping can tell from Luo Li's behavior last night that he has changed.
No one was worried about Luo Li's whereabouts anymore. After the morning exercise, Su Yiyi greeted everyone to have breakfast.
.......
Within a few days, the brothers sent to Jiulong Hall in Qingzhou reported back on Guo Shan's situation.
Chen Ping read it carefully, and a smile gradually overflowed on his face.
"Sure enough, this Guo Shan usually pretends to be a good guy."
"But according to the letter, the Qingzhou camp is near Guanjia Town, which is where the imperial salt works are located. I'm afraid it's not easy to get close to."
"We have to force Guo Shan to take action. If there is chaos, we will fish in troubled waters." Chen Ping said.
"Then how to force him?" Zhao Jin asked.
"Let's spread the news about the Cheng family's destruction first. Then someone will naturally take the bait." Chen Ping thoughtfully arranged: "This way...and then..."
After Zhao Jin heard Chen Ping's plan, he rushed to Guanjia Town, Haixing Prefecture without stopping.
In the evening, Luo Li, who had disappeared for several days, reappeared and asked Chen Ping when he saw him.
"There are fewer people."
There are usually a few people from Jiulong Hall in the yard, mainly because Zhao Jin is worried about Chen Ping's safety, but now they have disappeared.
"Time is tight. I asked Brother Zhao and the others to rush to Haixing Mansion first." Chen Ping held a book in his hand and said while reading.
"When shall we set off?"
"In a few days, I want to send the Su brothers and sisters away first." In Chen Ping's plan, he did not plan to take Su Yiyi and Su Lin to Haixing Mansion. Firstly, the military expedition was very risky.
Secondly, it is not easy for them to be too deeply involved, and it is time to return to the capital.
"Actually, I can go to Guo Shan." Luo Li only focused on things, and others didn't seem to care.
The implication was that he had directly arrested Guo Shan for interrogation, why bother with such roundabout ways?
After hearing this, Chen Ping smiled slightly and said, "Guo Shan is now hiding in the military camp. Do you know how many people are there in the military camp?"
"Sneaking and ambushing is not difficult." Luo Li said calmly.
"It may not be difficult for you. But if something happens, none of us can save you."
"I don't need your help."
"That won't work. I can't let you put yourself in danger, and nothing can happen to any of us. Besides, wouldn't it be better to drive the tiger out of the wolf and lure the snake out of its hole, and just reap the benefits?" Chen Ping's expression was very serious, which made people laugh.
Cannot refuse.
Luo Li's martial arts skills are very strong. Even Zhao Jin has lamented this many times, saying bluntly that if he faced Luo Li, he might not be able to get through five rounds. This shows how powerful Luo Li's killing skills are.
I believe that Luo Li is very good at sneaking and ambushing, but can he really enter and exit freely in the important area of the military camp?
Apart from other things, Guo Shan is the governor of the capital. He can summon hundreds of people in the military camp. How will Luo Li get out of it when the time comes?
More importantly, Chen Ping never wants to lose any friends again.
When Luo Li heard Chen Ping mention his friend again, his eyes seemed to soften a lot and he no longer insisted on his own ideas.

"Don't worry, you were the one who found out this information. You will naturally take action at some point. Let's wait for ten days before setting off to Guanjia Town."
"Why is it the tenth day?"
Ten days is enough time for a round trip from Zhejiang Chongfu to Guanjia Town.
"Ten days is the time for rumors to ferment." Chen Ping stood up, closed the book in his hand and said.
......
Guanjia Town, a certain restaurant.
In the past, this place was very lively. After all, this is the largest official salt trading place, and salt merchants from south to north would gather here.
But today, although there are many people in the restaurant, the voices are kept very low.
Zhao Jin walked into the restaurant and sat by the window, ordering two plates of side dishes, and the Fifth Hall Master followed suit and sat opposite.
There was a whisper of discussion, and people seemed to be afraid of something.
Soon, a line of patrolling soldiers passed by on the street, and the restaurant immediately fell silent.
Zhao Jin said with a smile: "Guanjia Town used to be full of cars and horses, so why is it like this recently?"
Several guests nearby looked at him and asked, "Are you from outside the country?"
"Yes, I'm here to do business." Zhao Jin cupped his hand, "May I ask my brother what happened here?"
"It's not easy to do business here. Brother, let me advise you to go somewhere else as soon as possible?"
"Oh? How do you say this?" Zhao Jin asked with a puzzled look.
"The world is not safe now. I don't know who the money earned is for!" the man mocked.
The fifth hall leader immediately stepped forward to ask. After a few moments, the man lowered his guard and whispered: "You don't know about the murder case in Ningshan Town, Jianzhou!"
"A murder case!" Zhao Jin exclaimed, "Which family was destroyed?"
"Cheng family, who knows who the murderer is?" Another person next to him said disdainfully, "I only know that Qingzhou Camp brought people there, and everyone in the Cheng family died."
"Isn't it about Jianzhou? Why did Qingzhou Camp bring people there?" Some people who didn't understand asked curiously.
"Who knows. I only heard that an official in Qingzhou Camp said that the location of the Cheng family is under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou, not the boundary of Jianzhou."
"Is this how Jianzhou recognizes it?"
"What else can we do? Don't look at how many soldiers there are in Qingzhou Camp. As the saying goes, whoever speaks is the best."
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden sigh of relief.
Qingzhou has been a developed maritime area in the past dynasties, and it is also the most rampant place for pirates. Therefore, the military personnel allocation of the Qingzhou camp is much higher than that of other state capitals, and it is also twice the number of people in the Jianzhou military camp.
And this is just a statement on the surface. There is no way to know whether there are any undisclosed transactions in private.
The more people talked, the more excited they became, and various versions of the gossip quickly spread.
Zhao Jin didn't say anything else, just squinted his eyes and smiled and turned to look at the street.
