At this time, Kyoto Prefecture looked particularly different in the gradually darkening night.

The first is the Tianxiang Building in the center of West Street. Although it was closed due to the attack on Kang Bo, the general manager of Prince Liang's Palace a few days ago, and even the Kyoto government sent soldiers to guard it, but because of this incident, the people coming and going around it

No one stopped here anymore. The usual scenes of singing and dancing were gone.

On the other side, the private houses on Kyoto Fuxi Street also show their differences.

His difference started this morning. The owner of the mansion was originally a businessman doing business in other prefectures, so he rarely returned to Kyoto Prefecture. He only hurried back when the new year was approaching. Usually, this place was also

He just left an old servant to look after the house, but there was nothing wrong with him.

But this morning, the old servant opened the door early and started cleaning the door with a happy face.

When the neighbors who were familiar with him saw his appearance, they knew that his master was coming back.

"Uncle Fu, is Mr. Zheng coming back?"

The neighbors didn't know the name of this family, but they knew that his surname was Zheng. No one knew exactly what business they were doing, but some said it was a cloth trade, some said it was a rice trade, and some said it was just a rice trade.

Some rare things were bought from various states in the south of the Yangtze River, but in short, the business of this owner is a mystery.

Uncle Fu, who was cleaning the door, heard someone asking, so he stopped what he was doing, and then said to the person: "It's not that the master is coming back, it's the young master who is coming back, but it's only for a few days, Qinglin Mansion."

He still has to go back because he is short of manpower."

The neighbors just came over to chat. When they heard that the young master of the Zheng family was coming back, they just said oh and said, it turns out that the young master of the Zheng family is back.

He didn't say anything more. He just chatted with Uncle Fu for a few words and then left.

After dusk, a carriage slowly drove in from outside the alley, and then stopped in front of the mansion. The curtain of the carriage opened, and Zheng Yanming stepped out. Looking at the heavy mansion door in front of him, he just sighed softly.

This is not the first time for me to come here. I remember that when I went back to Kyoto Prefecture for business with my father for the first time, my father took me here. Then my father came here.

He pointed to this huge gate and said to Zheng Yanming: "Remember, this is the root of our Zheng family. One day, you must bring the entire Zheng family back here."

At that time, Zheng Yanming still didn't understand the meaning of his father's words, because he had just been born when the Zheng family left Kyoto Prefecture, so the memory here only stayed in his infancy.

However, as time went by, Zheng Yanming listened to what the older generation told him about the glorious years of the Zheng family in Kyoto, and he began to understand what his father said.

I heard from my father about this mansion that when the Zheng family moved out of Kyoto Prefecture, all the family property in Kyoto Prefecture was confiscated, but this mansion was kept. As for what was wrong with it, Zheng Lin did not tell Zheng Yanming.

, but Zheng Yanming has vaguely guessed something over the years. Another purpose of his coming to Kyoto Prefecture this time is to confirm his guesses over the years.

"Bang, bang, bang."

The thick door knocker hit the heavy door, and the muffled sound was so obvious in the silent dusk.

The door opened, and Uncle Fu appeared in front of the door. Seeing that the visitor was his young master, he hurriedly welcomed him in.

"Master, why are you back? Yesterday, I received news from Qinglin Mansion, saying that the master will be back in the next few days, but I didn't expect it would be at night."

Zheng Yanming didn't pay attention and just replied casually: "There were some delays on the way."

Well, there was something wrong. If it hadn't been for the naughty girl at the inn, I would have found Deng Yue by now, and maybe even persuaded him to take him back to the Zheng family.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yanming felt annoyed, and then he thought to himself: "I wonder how things are going with Xiao Heizi?"

Zheng Yanming still has great trust in Xiao Hei's ability. Apart from anything else, his ability to use poison is one of the best in the entire Zheng family.

But how did Zheng Yanming know that Xiao Hei, whom he trusted, was currently detoxifying Jia Xiuyue in the backyard of Tongyuan Inn under the supervision of everyone.

Zheng Yanming was thinking about how Xiaohei should treat Shuizhu'er after he brought her back, while he walked towards his room under the leadership of Uncle Fu.

However, when everyone just passed through the main hall, they saw a light on in his study in the distance. Zheng Yanming felt confused and couldn't help but look at Uncle Fu beside him.

Uncle Fu was also stunned for a moment, and then said: "Master, isn't that person your friend? He came here before you and said you let him go. I thought that since he is the master's friend, I can't neglect him, so I brought him here.

Your study."

Uncle Fu's explanation made Zheng Yanming even more confused and asked: "My friend? What kind of friend? What does he look like?"

Uncle Fu thought for a while and then said: "Tall and big, with dark skin, his eyes are quite special. There is a scar above his left eye, which makes him look particularly fierce."

After Zheng Yanming heard what Uncle Fu said, he knew that the person was probably not someone he knew, and then he led the person and ran towards his study.

When Uncle Fu saw Zheng Yanming's reaction, he knew the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly followed Zheng Yanming towards the study.

When Zheng Yanming saw an outsider entering his study, he hurried towards the study. When he reached the study, he opened the door and saw a person sitting inside.

The man looked just like what Forbes had just described. He had dark skin and a scar above his left eye, but it did not go through the eye, but just reached the eye socket.

When Zheng Yanming came in, the man was sitting on the chair behind the desk, leisurely reading a book he had pulled out from nowhere.

"Who are you?" Zheng Yanming shouted, and then he was about to ask someone to take this stranger away.

When the man saw Zheng Yanming entering the room, he put down the book in his hand, and then said with a smile: "The young master came back a little late. I guess there must be something for your people to do."

Zheng Yanming's heart skipped a beat. He knew that what this man was talking about was what he had just ordered Xiao Hei to do at the Tongyuan Inn.

At that time, I thought that no one would hear it, but unexpectedly, this person found out.

Zheng Yanming waved his hand to stop his men who were about to come in to arrest someone, and asked slowly: "Who are you?"
