The escort officer slumped down on his chair in shock, looking at the letter on the table with dull eyes.
The waiter girl stumbled out of the room, and the movement she brought brought him back to his senses.
He quickly put the letter into his arms, not daring to open it without permission, for fear that the person from before was still observing in the dark.
The dark night was approaching and the escort officer came directly to the door of Guo Mansion.
I am a lowly official, and I only have some hobbies in spending time and drinking. I never thought of causing such trouble. The man just now was not a kind person at first glance, and I don’t know what his relationship is with Guo Shan. In short, the only one he has now is
My idea is to hand over the letter as soon as possible.
The guards closely guarding the gate of Guo's Mansion naturally recognized the escorting officer and let him in after being informed.
As soon as the escorting officer entered the main hall, he saw Guo Shan holding his concubine and drinking wine. He stepped forward and saluted.
"Captain!"
"Come here at this hour, what's the matter?" Guo Shan was a little unhappy, his mood was completely disrupted.
"I really don't want to disturb you, but someone asked me to give you this in the Yuelai Building just now." The escort officer gingerly took out the letter from his arms and presented it with both hands.
Guo Shan is now suspended from his job and is at home. Things in the Cheng family are making a big fuss. He is very depressed and has long ignored all the other things.
He didn't pay much attention to it at first, and casually glanced at the envelope. When he saw the snake print and the word Ren Yin on the envelope, he stood up suddenly, stared at the escort officer with fierce eyes and asked.
"Who gave you this?!"
The escorting officer was stunned for a moment. He was so shocked by Guo Shan's reaction that he hesitated and did not dare to speak.
Guo Shan pushed the concubine away directly, told her to get out of here, and asked again sternly.
"Tell me, who gave it to you!"
"Just... when we were drinking in Yuelailou just now, someone asked me to give it to you."
"Who? Tell me clearly!"
Guo Shan was very anxious at this time. He had always believed that what happened to the Cheng family left no trace and no one knew that he had done it.
Fortunately now, someone from the organization came directly to find me!
Cheng Chang's code name is Ren Yin, and the pattern is a dog pattern. The mark of this letter is also Ren Yin. Although the pattern is a snake pattern, it means that this person is on the same level as Cheng Chang.
Guo Shan had no way of knowing which region the snake pattern represented. After all, Cheng Chang had been in contact with him in the past few years.
He only knew that the organization behind Cheng Chang was very tight. One group of people made the illegal salt, and another group of people transported the illegal salt. They never met each other. Basically, Cheng Chang stepped in and took care of everything. p>
More than four years ago, Cheng Chang didn't know where he got evidence of his robbery and murder of a businessman, and used it to threaten his cooperation.
Originally, Guo Shan wanted to get rid of Cheng Chang directly, but through contact, he gradually discovered that this person was not simple, and the organization behind him had great energy, so he did not dare to do it rashly. In the past few years, he followed Cheng Chang's instructions to let the ships transporting private salt
Passed smoothly, and even cooperated with pirates to rob the official salt transport ship, and received generous rewards each time.
But Guo Shan is not a simple martial artist. He has always been worried about the evidence in Cheng Chang's hands, so when he heard that Cheng Chang was killed, he immediately asked for orders to go to Cheng's mansion, with the purpose of destroying his own evidence. p>
But nothing was found after digging up and down the ground in Cheng's house, and even his family members couldn't explain clearly. In order to ensure his absolute safety, Guo Shan killed dozens of people in Cheng's house and set the house on fire.
It has to be clean.
Although the cause of the matter is different from what Chen Ping guessed, the purpose is the same. Guo Shan destroyed the family just to protect himself.
Guo Shan recalled in shock that all the money collected by the Cheng family had been distributed to the cronies he brought there that day. Everything was so seamless and there was no one alive at the scene. Why did the organization behind it suddenly appear today?
Could it be that they discovered something? Could it be that someone close to him betrayed him?
The escort officer felt his heart tremble when Guo Shan stared at him, and he quickly recounted the situation word for word.
Guo Shan's face turned green and red, and he was thinking about what was written in this letter.
The escort finally added: "The man said that your mansion has been targeted. Who dares to take advantage of you?"
Guo Shan came to his senses and immediately issued an order to expel the guest: "Okay, I know about this, you can go back."
"Captain, if you really encounter any trouble, I will do my best to help you!"
"No need."
The escort officer secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Guo Shan would really ask him to do something, but he had to say so. This is how a small person like him survives.
Seeing Guo Shan meditating while holding the letter, he did not dare to disturb him anymore, bowed his hands and slowly retreated.
The escort officer walked out of Guo Mansion quickly, and as soon as he turned the corner at the long street intersection, his eyes suddenly flashed with flowers.
A sharp knife quickly penetrated his abdomen and neck, his pupils instantly dilated, and blood spurted out.
The escort officer fell to the ground and could no longer speak. He just raised his head with difficulty and looked at the black shadow in front of him.
The killer is wearing armor, which reflects the cold light under the moonlight.
"Who made you see something you shouldn't have seen?" the killer sighed. "We are all in jail and there is nothing we can do about it."
......
Yuelai Building, elegant room.
Ye Chongwen yawned and looked outside. The Flower Street and Liuxiang became more lively at night, with cars passing by on the long street.
The gambling room next door is only separated by a wall, and you can even hear the shouts and curses of the gamblers.
"I think he won't come tonight," Ye Chongwen suggested, "Why don't we withdraw first?"
"Don't be in a hurry." Chen Ping said while looking at the door downstairs.
"Otherwise, Chongwen should go back first." Zhao Jin said.
"Why should I go back first? I want to stay and help you." Ye Chongwen said hurriedly.
"Okay. Chongwen will take the brothers from Jiulong Hall to the outside first. It's not good for us to have more people. We haven't seen Guo Shan yet, so everything is unknown. If he knows more about the situation than we expected, then we
Isn’t it true that they were all caught in one fell swoop?” Chen Ping agreed with Zhao Jin’s opinion.
Ye Chongwen thought about the truth and did not insist anymore. He just reminded: "Then you should pay attention to safety. I will leave two people from Jiulong Hall outside the door to provide support."
Chen Ping nodded and looked at Zhao Jin and Luo Li, "Don't worry, the two masters are here."
When Luo Li heard this, he opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Jin. It was obvious that Zhao Jin was not on the same level as him.
Although Zhao Jin knew that there was a gap in martial arts between himself and Luo Li, he had no problem dealing with a few guards, so he looked at Luo Li without retreating.
When Chen Ping saw this, he shook his head in a funny way. This is the competitive spirit of Jianghu people.
Ye Chongwen led the fifth hall master and everyone to retreat two streets away from Yuelai Tower, leaving two people at the door as support to deliver the news, quietly waiting for Guo Shan to appear.
Luo Li stood in the private room looking at the sky and asked.
"Will he come?"
Chen Ping took a sip of tea, nodded confidently, and said, "He can."
"He just listens to you?" Luo Li didn't believe it. A few words could lure Guo Shan out of the house.
"He didn't listen to me. He came on his own." Chen Ping didn't explain too much, but he firmly believed that Guo Shan would definitely come after seeing the letter.
Luo Li knew that Chen Ping was a smart man, but smart people like to mince words when talking. Since Chen Ping didn't know, he wouldn't ask. Anyway, he had already promised Chen Ping that he would follow the command for this operation.
"Really?" Luo Li reached out and pulled out the long knife and said casually, "Then I'll wait and see."
