When he returned to Chaosi Lane, Li Mengzhou unexpectedly found that the gate of his own courtyard was actually open.

Because there is no place to have fun in Chaosi Lane, it is very quiet.

There are naturally no pedestrians in the alley.

Aunt Feng’s noodle shop is still open, but obviously there is no business for the time being. Perhaps later, if someone returns to Chaosi Lane, if he is hungry, he will go to the noodle shop to eat a bowl of noodles.

On New Year's Eve, there were too many people not going to bed, but ordinary people in the city would not play too late.

Now the time is approaching Yin hour, and there is not much time left before dawn.

Most of the people in Chaosi Lane are simple and are the most ordinary people in the capital. So although the noodle shop has a door open, Aunt Feng is not there. She should be taking care of her husband who is ill in bed.

Thinking that on New Year's Eve, Aunt Feng could not go out to buy some items or food she liked, so Li Mengzhou felt a little depressed.

I originally wanted to visit some Aunt Feng, but I heard someone talking in my yard, and the sound obviously did not belong to Gu Shiyan.

Li Mengzhou's brows frowned tightly.

He thought in anger that Gu Shiyan was a little too much. He really thought this place was her home, but he actually brought strangers to visit.

But then he thought that Gu Shiyan had just arrived in the capital and was not even from Jiang. How could she have familiar friends here? Naturally, it was even more impossible for anyone to visit her.

The person who appeared in the courtyard of Chaosi Lane would naturally not be Gu Shiyan's friends or guests.

When Li Mengzhou walked into the yard, he saw some people wearing armor and swords on his waist, which looked like they were from the military headquarters but not from the military headquarters.

Because they were not wearing armor from the soldiers of Jiang Guo, but the black armor unique to the members of the Xuan Zhengshi.

These people naturally come from Xuan Zhengsi.

The people in Xuanzhengsi were in Chaosi Lane, which Li Mengzhou had expected but unexpected.

When he went to Dan Tai Jing's mansion, he had the imagination of facing this scene.

But I didn't expect this scene to happen, and it came so quickly.

He looked at Gu Shiyan who was sitting on a rattan chair under the eaves and couldn't help but feel resentful. If she hadn't insisted on giving money to Dan Tai Jing's family, there would be no such trouble.

The people from Xuan Zhengsi also turned around and found Li Mengzhou who entered the courtyard.

The leader is a middle-aged man.

It is obvious that he has a high status in Xuanzhengsi, but Li Mengzhou didn’t care what the person was named, but said in surprise: “Sir, if you don’t go out for the New Year, why do you have time to come to me if you don’t go out for the New Year?”

The middle-aged man looked at Li Mengzhou coldly and said, "Someone found out that you had appeared outside Dan Tai Jing's mansion, and even sneaked into the mansion in an improper way. Don't you think you should give an explanation?"

Li Mengzhou frowned slightly.

If someone really saw him entering Dan Tai Jing's house, it would not be impossible, but after he left, he did not return to Chaosi Lane, but went to Wenrou Township first. Why did the people from Xuanzhengsi wait in Chaosi Lane so confidently?

He was very sure that even if someone saw him, he would never be able to see his face clearly.

Li Mengzhou looked at the middle-aged man deeply and said, "Tonight is New Year's Eve. I just came back from Yueming Lake. When have I been to the home of the Censor Zhongcheng? Since you said someone saw me, where is the person who saw me?"

The middle-aged man said, "As a disciple of Ligong Sword Academy, he won the championship in the Questioning Conference. He should have been the pride of heaven in the capital. Naturally, we dare not frame him at will. Dan Tai Jing was killed in a cave near Jialan Temple. The case has not been clarified yet. My Xuanzhengsi had already arranged for someone to wait outside the residence of Lord Zhongcheng. No matter whether that person is you or not, he is still a bit suspicious."

Li Mengzhou smiled and said, "Although I really want to help you Xuanzhengsi solve the case as soon as possible, I have never appeared at Lord Zhongcheng's house. I have always been in the gentle village by Yueming Lake. The girls there can testify and all the people there can testify."

"Because it is New Year's Eve, there are many guests in Wenrou Village. I have been squeezed for a long time and haven't squeezed in. So I thought of a way to jump from Yueming Lake to the second floor of Wenrou Village. This move is naturally seen by many people, and the adults will know it when they ask."

The middle-aged man frowned slightly and said coldly: "I will naturally investigate this matter. When we appeared here, we found that you were not in the yard, so we had sent someone to look for your trace.

And the news I got was that the time you entered the Gentle Land was around two minutes of the ugly moment, but the people from the Xuanzhengsi discovered that someone sneaked into the Zhongcheng Mansion around the midnight period. You left there and then went to the Gentle Land, and it was time to go."

Li Mengzhou was silent for a moment.

He had no intention of worrying about why the people of Xuan Zhengshi moved so quickly.

He just looked at the middle-aged man opposite and said, "Even if there are problems in time, it cannot prove that I was the one who sneaked into the residence of Master Zhongcheng. I didn't want to say it at first, but in fact, around the middle of the day, I was not in Chaosi Lane, but in the Shoujiang Tingyujiang in the Tianshu Courtyard."

The middle-aged man's eyes stayed on Li Mengzhou for a moment and said, "Although you are a famous young man in the capital, when did you recognize such a big man as Jiang Yuanshou? Jiang Yuanshou has never been close to others. Even if he is a high-ranking official in the court, it is not so easy to meet him. Even if I believe you for now, who can testify?"

"Anyway, the head of Jiang Yuanzhang cannot appear here to testify for you, so what you want to say will naturally say whatever you want."

Footsteps came outside the courtyard of Chaosi Lane.

A middle-aged man in a white robe crossed the threshold and appeared in the courtyard.

He looked at the person standing in the small courtyard and said lightly: "This young man was with me at midnight. Although I was indifferent to many things in the capital, I prefer writing and posts. I happened to learn from Li Gongjianyuan that Li Mengzhou wrote very well, so I met him and briefly discussed calligraphy."

The middle-aged man looked at the person who appeared in the yard in surprise.

This person is nothing else. It was just now that he said that it would be impossible for Jiang Tingyu, the head of the Tianshu Courtyard who was here to testify for Li Mengzhou.

Although Xuan Zhengsi and Tianshu Yuan have always been competitive, their position and even some fear of Jiang Tingyu in their hearts made the middle-aged man lower his head and bow respectfully.

He said with a somewhat ugly face: "Since there is... Jiang Yuan first testifying, then I think this should be just a misunderstanding."

Jiang Tingyu looked at him and said lightly: "I know it was a misunderstanding, so leave. Xu Hexian wanted to investigate the cause of Dan Tai Jing's death. That was his business. If there was a place for my Tianshu Academy to help me, I would naturally not stand by. After all, I will do things for His Majesty."

"But if Xu Hexian investigated the case so casually, he would have to tell His Majesty."

The middle-aged man's body was trembling like a sieve. Even though he was a great monk in the realm of no prescription, in front of Jiang Tingyu, he was a child who had just learned to walk.

"We'll leave now!"

The people from Xuan Zhengsi rushed out of the courtyard and rushed out of Chaosi Lane in a swarm.

Standing at the entrance of the alley, the middle-aged man still couldn't stop trembling.

"Sir, are you really leaving like that?"

"After all, we just doubt that every person in the capital, even the smallest person, was recorded in the Xuan Zhengsi. We suspect that Li Mengzhou was just because the figure was similar to that person and he did not see his face in the end.

I thought that after a little threat, a mere boy would definitely reveal his flaws. If it weren't for him, we would have to leave, and it would be impossible to arrest him. After all, he is a disciple of Ligong Sword Academy.

Now that Jiang Tingyu appears in Chaosi Lane, it is even more impossible for us to make a difference, but we must inform Sishou of Li Mengzhou and Jiang Tingyu's acquaintance."

The middle-aged man looked back at the deep Chaosixiang, his trembling body gradually calmed down and his eyes were cold.

......

In the courtyard.

Li Mengzhou looked at Jiang Tingyu in shock. He just casually thought of an excuse to deceive Xuan Zhengsi. He absolutely never thought that Jiang Tingyu would really appear here.

"Since nothing is wrong, why bother to go there again?"

Jiang Tingyu said something, and his eyes turned to Gu Shiyan.

Gu Shiyan stared at Jiang Tingyu with cold eyes, and her right hand was already quietly holding it on the hilt of the sword.

There was still fine snow floating in the night sky, which could not dispel the enthusiasm of the people in the capital for the New Year, but caused the temperature in this courtyard to drop sharply.

Countless tiny snowflakes fell from the dome, laying a silver-white curtain on the ground.

Li Mengzhou's heart sank slightly, and he blurted out with an excuse, thinking of the excuse: "This is my aunt at home. She just arrived in the capital two days ago, but she is not a close aunt, but a distant family. It is normal for you not to know."

"Distant aunt?"

Jiang Tingyu smiled and said, "Your aunt is pretty."

Li Mengzhou followed and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay."

Jiang Tingyu shook her head and said, "I don't care whether she is your aunt or someone else. It's better not to provoke Xu Hexian. Stay quietly in Chaosi Lane and don't go anywhere."

"I understand, I must be optimistic about her. After all, she is so beautiful, and it is very dangerous to go out."

Jiang Tingyu glanced at Li Mengzhou strangely and said, "I'm leaving."

Li Mengzhou bowed and said, "Let's walk slowly at the head of the courtyard."

After confirming that Jiang Tingyu left Chaosi Lane, Li Mengzhou closed the yard gate tightly, looked at Gu Shiyan hatefully, and said in a deep voice: "You have to cause trouble for me, give me some money if you have nothing to do. Dan Tai Jing has only been dead for a few days. Although Xuan Zhengshi suppressed the case on the surface, he must have been investigating secretly and was almost exposed!"

"It doesn't matter if you die or not, don't pull me in!"

Gu Shiyan looked at Li Mengzhou lightly, and slowly let go of her sword-holding hand, lay on the rattan chair, and said, "Isn't there anything wrong? But I underestimated you and actually recognized the head of Tianshu Courtyard."

"Didn't he just say that, he just likes my words. Speaking of which, I just wrote a piece of words in front of my third senior sister, but unexpectedly, Jiang Tingyu found out and looked for me in particular."

Of course, Li Mengzhou could not tell Gu Shiyan about her relationship with Jiang Tingyu, so she could only be forced to change the topic.
