Chapter 105 Many stories on New Year's Eve
Jiang Tingyu became famous in his early years. He had not left the capital for decades, and rumors about him in the world have long faded.
But Gu Shiyan seemed to know him and said thoughtfully: "When Jiang Tingyu was young, he walked in the world and offended many people. It seemed that he encountered the most painful defeat because he met a big thing from a quiet place of mountains and seas, and never pulled out his sword again."
"There are many rumors in the world that sound extremely real, saying that Jiang Tingyu was destroyed by the Qihai, and some said that he was beaten to the point of falling. In short, it is no longer the peak of previous years. But in my opinion just now, although I can't feel the breath in him, it gives me a very powerful sense of oppression. I absolutely cannot draw my sword in front of him."
She silently glanced at the sword beside the rattan chair.
Li Mengzhou muttered secretly that rumors in the world were the most unreliable. He had seen Jiang Tingyu take action with his own eyes. Even if Jiang Tingyu really retreated for some reason, or even was seriously injured by someone, he was still a great monk in the fifth realm and was still at the peak of this mountain and river.
The courtyard was silent for a moment.
Gu Shiyan suddenly said, "What did you find out when you went to Dan Tai Jing's house?"
Li Mengzhou moved a stool and sat under the eaves, looking at the snow floating in the night sky, and said, "Before Xuanzhengsi solved the case, no one in the capital should dare to bully the orphan and widowed mother. The guards in the mansion were also protecting them. Even without a master, they were all loyal to their duties."
"So they are not short of money. If Director Xuan Zheng cannot solve the case for a long time, this matter will be suppressed after all. Their orphans and widows are just victims, so naturally they cannot be forced to stay in the capital. If they can leave the capital with Yinliang, at least they can still survive."
He thought of the boy sitting in a wheelchair, his crazy look, maybe it was great, at least he didn't know anything, he wouldn't feel sad, and he might not even know that his father was dead.
Gu Shiyan frowned and said, "Didn't there be any clues left in Dan Tai Jing's family?"
Li Mengzhou shook his head and said, "Even his wife has hidden what Dan Tai Jing did, it is impossible to leave any clues. Before I left, I simply searched for it and found nothing. Perhaps it was because Dan Tai Jing did not leave any tricks that the people behind him helped him take the position of the Chief Censor, and have never silenced him yet."
"For us, Dan Tai Jing should have a way to save his life, and he hides the handle of the person behind the scenes in a hidden place, but for Dan Tai Jing, knowing nothing is the way to survive."
Speaking of this, Li Mengzhou still couldn't help it, looked at Gu Shiyan and asked, "What are you going to investigate Dan Tai Jing? If someone behind Dan Tai Jing is really instructing him to do something bad, he should be a cruel and ruthless person. He can't really believe that Dan Tai Jing has no backup plan. Even if he only has one in ten thousand chances, he will attack the orphan and widowed mother."
"But a few days have passed and there is no movement. Don't you find it strange?"
Gu Shiyan said: "It's really strange."
Li Mengzhou frowned and said, "You can answer my first question first."
Gu Shiyan ignored him.
Li Mengzhou's mood was quite complicated.
He could not understand Gu Shiyan's identity, and why he wanted to kill Dan Tai Jing.
If he cannot figure out this problem, he will be unable to sleep or eat.
"Answer me."
Li Mengzhou stared at Gu Shiyan tightly, obviously not going to give up.
Gu Shiyan sat quietly on the rattan chair. She wanted to remain silent all the time, but Li Mengzhou's eyes were too direct, which made her very unnatural. She said shamelessly: "You only need to know that we have the same purpose. What do you do so much?"
Li Mengzhou said coldly: "I don't think so."
The ancient Shiyan faces her eyes.
Finally, he said helplessly: "You may have to avenge Dan Tai Jing because of some things. I am also because of this reason. Although I did not get much information from him before killing Dan Tai Jing, it is inevitable that there will be an envoy behind him.
So my target of revenge is not just Dan Tai Jing. You and I must find out the people behind Dan Tai Jing, so no matter what the specific reason is, this purpose remains unchanged."
Li Mengzhou frowned deeply.
He was about to say something, but Gu Shiyan's voice came over and asked him a question: "You always ask me, then why are you going to kill Dan Tai Jing? For Bu Erdong?"
Li Mengzhou was speechless, but he didn't know what to answer.
Of course he could not answer Gu Shiyan's question, but if he didn't answer, he would obviously not be able to ask the other party anymore, which made him feel a little depressed.
Gu Shiyan's purpose seemed to be exactly this, so she didn't continue to ask.
"If we wait a few more days and the person behind Dan Tai Jing still does not show up, we can only find another clue."
Li Mengzhou nodded. As soon as Dan Tai Jing died, Qin Chengyi did not show up, and some people hidden in the dark did not show any movement, so the clues were completely cut off. Li Mengzhou wanted to investigate the people under Qin Chengyi's command, but was also hesitating whether to tell Gu Shiyan about this matter?
He still doesn't trust this woman after all.
Seeing Gu Shiyan having an extra jade bracelet on her wrist, the jade bracelet was crystal clear. Although it was not a top-quality item, it was not a cheap item. And he was sure that Gu Shiyan had no jade bracelet on her wrist before.
He felt a strange feeling in his heart and couldn't help asking, "Where did it come from?"
"I bought it after spending some money." Gu Shiyan noticed Li Mengzhou's gaze, and naturally knew what he was asking. She raised her jade wrist and said, "Don't you think it's very good?"
Li Mengzhou's face turned a little darker, and he was silent for a moment, and said, "If it were not expected, you should have spent my money, right? And when did you leave Chaosi Lane?"
Gu Shiyan said lightly: "I went out shortly after you left. Today is New Year's Eve, and the capital is very lively. This jade bracelet is very cheap. I was attracted by it. However, you gave me too little money and I couldn't afford it, so I chose this again, just for five taels of silver."
Just spent five taels of silver?
Li Mengzhou's mouth twitched violently.
He was worth only eight taels of silver, and most of the money was spent at once, and the prodigal women were not worth it.
"You must be very rich, right?"
Gu Shiyan frowned and seemed to be thinking about something very seriously, and said, "I have never lacked money to spend, but I am not very clear about the specific amount."
Li Mengzhou sighed: "It's true that he is everyone's daughter."
Gu Shiyan asked, "Why don't you have money?"
Li Mengzhou said angrily: "I miss you a lot of money, but since you appeared, this thing will only become a dream that will never be realized."
Gu Shiyan said in confusion: "But before I appeared, you didn't seem to have much money."
Li Mengzhou didn't know how to refute it.
"Why do you say I am your distant aunt?"
"Can you still say you are my wife?"
Li Mengzhou blurted out without hesitation.
Clam!
A sword sounded.
A parabola immediately appeared above the courtyard, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground outside the courtyard.
Then there was a conversation.
"Are you experiencing the feeling of flying again?"
"Uh...yeah, this feeling will be addictive. It's very late. Aunt Feng, you should take a break early."
After about half a cup of tea, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open from outside, and Li Mengzhou ran back fiercely.
"You try to hit me again?"
"Just give it a try."
Gu Shiyan waved her hand casually, and Li Mengzhou's figure flew out again.
After repeating this several times.
Li Mengzhou sat obediently on the stool under the eaves and kept muttering: "I can't beat you for the time being. When I become stronger, I will see how I deal with you."
......
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the capital was finally completely covered by the vast snow. However, in the early morning, the streets in the capital were still crowded, but there were many people holding umbrellas.
In the deepest room of Xuan Zhengsi, the middle-aged man who had appeared in Chaosi Lane was reporting something to Xu Hexian.
Xu Hexian sat behind the desk, with his hands crossed his support on his chin. He listened to the middle-aged man's words, and he looked calm. When the voice stopped, he silently poured himself a cup of tea. His fingers turned the steaming tea cup and said quietly: "Jiang Tingyu has had many small moves recently. During the questioning of Buluoshanmen and Ligong Sword Courtyard, he quietly appeared outside Ligong Mountainmen, and even killed people in the streets and alleys. These things could not be hidden from Xuan Zhengsi's eyes."
"After Li Mengzhou encountered trouble, Jiang Tingyu appeared in Chaosi Lane by chance. I wouldn't think this is really just a coincidence. Jiang Tingyu likes Li Mengzhou's word... Haha, it's really a good excuse."
After the words came, Xu Hexian's face became gloomy and terrifying.
"With Jiang Tingyu coming to testify, Xuan Zhengshi couldn't treat Li Mengzhou, but in fact, Li Mengzhou was just suspicious, and the matter here would definitely not be that simple."
"No matter whether Li Mengzhou has anything to do with Dan Tai Jing's death, Jiang Tingyu's appearance in Chaosi Lane is enough to prove that the two people have a close relationship. How many years of talented people in the capital have never heard of who Jiang Tingyu is close to? Why is Li Mengzhou?"
Xu Hexian pinched the teacup tightly, and a light crack appeared on the surface of the teacup, but no tea leaked out. He lowered his head and looked at it silently, then smiled coldly, saying, "Jiang Tingyu may really like the words written by the boy, or he deliberately defended the wrong things that the boy had done, but no matter which one it was, they were all together."
"I can't move Jiang Tingyu for the time being, but even if he can enter the Ligong Inner Courtyard in the future, once I find evidence of his murder, Ligong Sword Courtyard and Jiang Tingyu can't protect him."
