"Oh, haha, Capt. Qin, our boss is a bit blunt in what he says, but he has absolutely no ill intentions. I hope you don't take it to heart." Ah Wu winked at Li Dongsheng and advised Qin Yong.
"I've finished talking, you guys are busy! I'm going to practice my calligraphy in my room, Uncle Fu, call me if you need anything." Li Dongsheng warned, ignored Qin Yong, and went to room No. 1 of Tianzi.
"Captain Qin!" A police officer ran in.
"What's wrong?"
"Meng Sima ordered you to go back, saying that he had something important to explain to you."
"Walk!"
"Ouch, you don't have eyes when you're walking... Oh, hehe, Captor Qin? You're busy... you're busy!" Lei Shaoxuan ran into the store covered in dust and almost bumped into Qin Yong, who quickly stepped aside.
After taking two steps, when Qin Yong left, he started shouting again: "Where is Li Jianghu? Li Jianghu, come out!"
I put down the rag: "I'm here."
Lei Shaoxuan kicked the bench in front of me away, pulled me to the corner, and grabbed me by the collar: "Tell me, my third uncle has no enmity with you, why do you want to harm him?"
I opened his hand and said, "Why did I hurt him? Does it have anything to do with me?"
"Didn't you lead someone to arrest my third uncle?" Lei Shaoxuan glared at me, wishing he could devour me in one gulp.
"Do you think I have such great abilities?"
Lei Shao
If you want to report, you can go to the governor's office. Why secretly make an appointment to meet in the wilderness? It can only be to report something unfavorable to Xiangzhou.
Meng Sima also said that you are a secret agent with the eye of the sky, who specializes in helping the imperial envoys detect the secret agents lurking in Xiangzhou City, but is it true?"
I heard Lei Shaoxuan ask this question, and saw him secretly winking to one side. Looking around, I saw two tables of guests next to me looking at us.
Being followed?
I became nervous, coughed, and lowered my voice: "So what, don't let anyone hear me."
Lei Shaoxuan came closer: "You won't really find out that my third uncle is the leader of the detailed operation, will you? Is it a mistake?"
I pondered his words in my mind. I was not familiar with Lei Shaoxuan. He was the vice-captain of the You team. Fendai was in Wanhua Building, so it was inconvenient to get in and out. He basically ran errands for anything.
I remember Xiao Mu once said during the last gathering that our twenty-four secret agents must have absolute trust and cooperate with each other. He came here to openly question me now. Is he performing a mission?
After a moment of silence, I spread my hands and said, "I'm just a tofu seller. How can I have the ability to investigate who is the master?
That is to say, one day, the imperial envoy came to my stall to eat beancurd. He said that I looked quite smart, and asked me if I wanted to be a secret agent. He promised me that I could be exempted from taxes for half a year, and even found me a part-time job to take care of Mr. Meng.
One tael of silver per month. I agreed.
That day, when I helped Lin Sheng finish the trial, I saw him going out in disguise. Out of curiosity, I followed him quietly, only to find that he was reporting the situation to the principal.
They found me and gave me ten days to force me to confess to the other spies. But how could I know? Our imperial envoy has never seen the beginning or end. Who knows what he is thinking? Who knows which spies he has chosen?
I had no choice but to report it to Lieutenant Xiao quietly. Today I deliberately told Lin Sheng that I had found other spies and wanted to inform Lord Xiang personally. Lieutenant Xiao invited Meng Sima and the others to follow them secretly, but... I never expected that.
Xiang Zhuhui will be the governor of Lei."
"No, there must be some misunderstanding. My third uncle... How could my third uncle betray Xiangzhou?" Lei Shaoxuan grabbed me and said, "Li Jianghu, let's go to the Governor's Mansion with me.
Please explain clearly, maybe there is some misunderstanding."
"Oh, let go!" I tried my best to break free from his hand: "Didn't I make it clear enough? This is what happened. Lieutenant Xiao has reported it to Meng Sima and the others for me, so what else should I do?"
"Jianghu, what's wrong?"
"Brother Jianghu, are you okay?"
Aniang and Wang Jiajia also came out of the room and looked at Lei Shaoxuan blankly: "Who are you? Where are you taking him?"
"It's nothing, there's something else going on at the Governor's Mansion, let me go take a look." I said, pretending to be relaxed.
"Then go quickly! We have almost packed everything. When you come back, we will go home." Auntie said, looking anxious.
"Oh, then don't leave in a hurry. Wait until I come back. Fifth brother, prepare some food for my mother and the others."
"Oh, okay, okay, let's go."
Under Lei Shaoxuan's urging, we arrived at the Governor's Mansion in less than a quarter of an hour. The guard at the door took us in after passing the message.
"It can be considered as shaking off the tail behind you." Lei Shaoxuan let out a long sigh.
"Who is it?"
"Then you still need to ask? They must be the people of Lord Xiang. Their target is indeed still at Jianghu Inn."
I nodded: "The inn is a mixed bag of people, with people coming and going. It's not easy to control in the first place."
"Hey, keep your voice down." Lei Shaoxuan looked around warily: "Be careful that the governor's office also has 'ears'."
"No way?" I was unsure in my heart, but I was still denying it: "The governor's office is the core of the entire Xiangzhou, the lifeblood of one city and five counties. If there is detailed work here, then Xiangzhou is really in danger.
.”
"So, what you are saying... is that my third uncle was wronged?"
I looked around: "Where are we going?"
"Come this way."
Following Lei Shaoxuan to the west wing, this is also an independent courtyard. It seems to be an official residence. It should be a temporary resting place for county officials who come to Xiangzhou City. At this moment, the nine-member Tianyan team headed by Long Yuhan
The police officer was guarding the courtyard. When he saw someone coming in, he drew his knife vigilantly. When he saw clearly that it was us, he made a way out.
"The dragon catches the head?"
"Li Jianghu, come in quickly."
Long Yuhan said, leading us into the house. Only then did I see Meng Sima and Li Huichun talking about something, while Wu Changshi was leaning on the bedside with a quilt wrapped around him.
"I have met Chang Shi, Sima."
"Oh, you are here." Meng Sima nodded towards me and pointed to the table and stool on the side: "Sit down."
"Sima knows things well. Sure enough, someone is eyeing the inn again." Lei Shaoxuan said, not politely, and sat down. However, when he realized that Sima was still standing, he immediately jumped up again as if the stool was burning his buttocks.
.
"Li Jianghu, you are the only one who has met that Xiangzhu. Please recall carefully. Are they the same person?" Meng Sima asked.
I recounted all the doubts in my mind, and finally sighed: "I think they are two people, but... I can't figure out how they made Inspector Lei dress up as Lord Xiang to attend the appointment?"
Meng Sima replied: "I asked the governor, and he said: Someone reported to him that the imperial envoy had found the leader of Xizuo, but the leader had a prominent identity and I didn't know how to deal with it. Let him go quietly to find out. Finally,
The man gave the governor clothes and a turban, as well as his address, and asked him not to reveal his identity."
I found it incredible: "Who spread the word? Governor Lei believed it so easily, and he didn't know he was in danger alone?"
"The person who sent the message was named Han Lu. He was a handyman in the governor's office. He was responsible for cleaning the courtyard on weekdays and he didn't like to talk. After the imperial envoy took office, he summoned everyone in the governor's office for a meeting. They thought he was quick at work and a good person.
He was honest and even praised him.
Later, the governor asked him to clean the east courtyard where the imperial envoy lived every day, and sometimes he would help the imperial envoy to send us messages, so this time he used the imperial envoy's order to trick the governor out, so the governor did not become suspicious."
Wu Changshi said, wrapping the quilt more tightly.
"What about Han Lu? Since we know that he is causing trouble on purpose, why not arrest him and question him clearly." Lei Shaoxuan asked, looking impatient.
Meng Sima said: "He has been imprisoned. However, he denied that he had sent a message to the governor, and several other servants also proved that they had been secretly playing dice under the eaves and had no time to spare."
"Which government servants testified? Is it impossible to lie?" Lei Shaoxuan asked again.
"Those people were subjected to rigorous cross-examination, and they don't look like people who would collectively commit perjury."
"What about my third uncle? Can I see him again?" Lei Shaoxuan suddenly became sad: "My third uncle has always wanted to be a good official. In order to have no distractions, he has not returned to his hometown for several years. My grandfather really misses me, so I
Let me come to Xiangzhou City so that he can take care of him. If he knows that something happened to his third uncle, it will be difficult for me to explain him when I go back."
Wu Changshi was in awe and said: "In order to prove his innocence, Inspector Lei asked us to put him in prison."
"What? Put him in jail? Hasn't he not been convicted yet? He is the governor!" I couldn't help but sigh, why are all these officials so casual?
"You...you really locked him up?" Lei Shaoxuan was a little excited: "You are the following criminals! My third uncle is your superior, and you have to be an imperial envoy to convict him."
Meng Sima was a little helpless: "The imperial envoy is not here, but something unexpected happened, so we can't just wait around like this. Don't worry, there will always be a way."
"any solution?"
I scratched my head, feeling confused, and turned to look at Li Huichun, only to see that he was leisurely and calmly reading medical books, as if what we had been talking for a long time had nothing to do with him.
"Hey, Doctor Li? Why don't you say something?" Lei Shaoxuan also couldn't stand it and shouted at him.
Li Huichun finally raised his head: "What did you say?"
"Prove my third uncle's innocence!"
"Oh, didn't Li Jianghu just say this? The impression he saw of Lord Xiang this time was different from the previous two times."
"Feeling? I need evidence! Prove that Han Lu deliberately caused misfortune and asked my third uncle to dress up as Lord Xiang and go to the appointment."
"Oh, do you still have those clothes?"
"Long Yuhan!" Meng Sima shouted, and soon, the khaki shirt worn by Inspector Lei was sent over, along with the black turban.
Li Huichun looked at me: "Li Jianghu, how high do you think Lord Xiang knows martial arts?"
I was slightly taken aback, not knowing what he meant, so I had to answer honestly: "His qinggong is very high, and the dragon can see its head but not its tail."
"Oh, my Qinggong is not bad either. I'll ask that Han Lu to see if he lied." Li Huichun smiled slyly, waved to Long Yuhan, grabbed the yellow shirt, put it on, covered his head with a turban and jumped
