In the evening, He Lingchuan and Menghu Shi Shiran returned to the inn, accompanied by Lu Dutong.
They have been working together on errands these past few days, and the two of them have met frequently. They had just been drinking in a restaurant for more than an hour, and they are on good terms with each other.
He Lingchuan was even more keenly aware that others were afraid of the prestige of Lingxu City. This Lu Dutong seemed to be straightforward, but in fact he had little room for promotion. Instead, he hoped to take this opportunity to get a chance to improve.
The five hundred soldiers under his command were a very important help to He Lingchuan.
Cen Boqing would not wait here and had left long ago, but of course the Cen family's spies were everywhere outside the inn.
He Lingchuan frowned as soon as he entered the room.
The guest room was a bit messy. Although it wasn't like rummaging through boxes and cabinets like a strong wind, there were signs of being disturbed everywhere.
In the morning, the man came to nothing, but he still wanted to announce his arrival and humiliate the prince's envoy.
Jiao Yu was right, these nobles of Lingxu City were too arrogant. He called the waiter back to tidy up the house and then brought hot water. But before the hot water came, Cen Boqing came first.
I don’t know where this person was before, and he changed places so quickly.
He did not engage in such a big battle as before, he only brought two followers and knocked on He Lingchuan's door.
"He Xiao?" He stood with his hands behind his hands and said calmly, "I am Cen Boqing." He Lingchuan smiled and said, "Master Cen, please come in."
The two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding not to mention what happened early in the morning.
Lu Dutong was also here. When he saw Cen Boqing, he stood up and saluted.
Cen Boqing waved his hand, Da Ma Jin Dao sat down, and his first sentence was straight to the point: "You arrested my guard by mistake, I came to get him."
"Caught by mistake?" He Lingchuan frowned, "I set up a trap to catch the wanted criminal, but no one else came, so why did they jump in?"
Portraits of wanted criminals were plastered all over the streets and alleys. They recognized them under the Chaohu Tower and wanted to do justice." Cen Boqing said without blinking, "Is that wrong?"
"The order they received was to take people back. If they can't be brought back, they will be executed on the spot." He Lingchuan stroked his chin, "Who gave this order?"
He looked behind Cen Boqing, where there was a familiar face.
He Lingchuan recognized at a glance that this was indeed the wealthy businessman on Chaohu Tower at that time, one of the three tables of guests.
Is this Uncle Wu?
"This is just a misunderstanding." Cen Bo Qingyun Danfengqing said, "The order they heard was to try their best to arrest him and pay attention to self-defense. After all, he is a habitual murderer, and the guards cannot restrain their hands."
"Oh? Who gave the order?"
Cen Boqing became a little impatient: "This is what happened. People in my government helped the officers and soldiers and enthusiastically arrested the suspects, but Special Envoy He detained them. Isn't it unreasonable?"
"Master Cen is so considerate, I have nothing to say." He Lingchuan nodded to Commander Lu, who then said openly: "Bring him in."
Two soldiers brought in a prisoner and released him on the spot.
Cen Boqing's eyes darkened: "Why is there only one person?"
"The other one is being taken away by the Crown Prince." He Lingchuan spread his hands, "Already on the way to the capital, Lord Cen will probably have to write to the Crown Prince asking for him. I'm really sorry."
Fu Shanyue isn't here anyway, so he can prevaricate as he pleases.
Zhong Sunmou was right, this guy is really a piece of meat. Cen Boqing said slightly: "Special Envoy He handled the case very neatly and neatly. I will definitely write a letter of appreciation to the King of Chiyan and Lingxu City."
Of course this was said in reverse, but He Lingchuan took it seriously and laughed: "I don't dare to take it seriously."
Did he and Zhong Sunmou share the same threat tactics, and they would only move out of Lingxu City to suppress people? Cen Boqing stood up: "Then I wish the special envoy a smooth investigation of the case and early success." After that, he led the people out.
.
It wasn't until his back disappeared at the corner of the street that Jiao Yu said angrily: "He wants to take back all the witnesses."
No wonder He Lingchuan avoided seeing him this morning.
"There is insufficient evidence. It will be a matter of time before he is released. I am holding Fu Songhua at my limit."
Lu Dutong didn't understand: "This is not a failure of all previous efforts."
Give up?" To be honest, the opponent has already won the game.
He Lingchuan took away Fu Songhua's revenge, and Zhong Sunmou and Cen Boqing turned around and took revenge.
He Lingchuan shook his head: "I set up the trap in Tabu in Chaohu. I didn't expect to succeed with one strike, but at least I have to know who the opponent is behind the scenes." Otherwise, the other party is hiding and revealing, which is too passive.
This is more important than anything else.
"Now that I know it, these two prisoners are useless."
...
After getting into the carriage and closing the door, Cen Boqing calmly said nothing and lit a pot of incense.
Uncle Wu and the guards who had just been rescued did not dare to say a word.
After a long time, Cen Boqing said to the guards: "After you were arrested, what did you say to them?"
As soon as these words came out, the guard knelt down with a plop: "The villain didn't say a word. It was Wu Fang who was fascinated by the other party, so he explained everything."
Then, he recounted the interrogation process of He Lingchuan. After listening to it, Uncle Wu felt half relieved.
These two people knew very little and could provide very few clues. There was no way they could have anything to do with Mr. Mai and the courier case.
Cen Boqing frowned and asked, "Wu Fang confessed to Uncle Wu?" "Yes, yes."
Cen Boqing then glanced at Uncle Wu: "This man named He has asked a lot of questions, all related to you. He may be targeting you."
Uncle Wu's heart skipped a beat, and he bowed without thinking: "Old slave, please go back to Lingxu City first. Stay here, for fear of being taken advantage of by the enemy!"
Cen Boqing waved his hand: "You are doing so many things, and you are contacting so many people. When you return to Lingxu City, who will take care of these personnel matters for me?"
Wu Bo groaned.
Cen Bo said calmly: "Just stay, you are safest with me now. No matter how mean-spirited He is, the Chiyan people won't dare to touch me."
"yes."
Cen Boqing smiled: "Okay, has Lingxu's reply arrived?"
"Not yet..." Before Uncle Wu could finish his answer, Cen Boqing's eyes narrowed and he suddenly pulled out his dagger and stabbed straight at him!
Wu Bo suddenly felt the cold light flashing before his eyes, and instinctively wanted to dodge, but Cen Boqing moved very quickly, and the tip of the sword passed over his chest and went straight to his ribs.
"do not move!"
Something jumped away from Uncle Wu's armpit.
It's very small and can jump very well.
more than.
Cen Boqing raised his wrist and threw it. The tip of the sword was nailed to the wall of the compartment with a "snatch" sound, and the hilt of the sword trembled.
Uncle Wu and the other two looked closely, only to find something the size of a fingernail nailed to the tip of the sword.
Is this... a spider?
"Sure enough, the one named He has some eavesdropping skills." Cen Boqing drew his sword and looked at it. "This thing is really hard to detect. Fortunately, Zhong Sunmou has warned me before."
He snuffed out the incense.
I went to He Lingchuan's place for a while, and the other party calmly gave me a trick: "This guy suffered a loss, and I will repay you when I turn around."
Even with Zhongsun Mou's reminder, it took him a long time to check before he found the spider.
Fortunately, I didn't say anything useful just now.
Cen Boqing added, "By the way, I heard that your grandson also came to play in Baishaqian, so I asked the kitchen to make some snacks. You can go and get them later."
Uncle Wu responded: "Thank you, Master."
...
He Lingchuan suddenly shouted "Ah" and covered his eyes.
Even the tiger Jiao Yu was startled by him, and Lu Dutong even asked repeatedly: "What's wrong!"
He Lingchuan rubbed his eyes vigorously and smiled bitterly: "My eyes hurt a little, it's nothing serious." Lu Dutong snorted: "Could it be that those people plotted against you?"
"It doesn't matter." He Lingchuan felt regretful in his heart.
At that time, he happened to share the same field of vision with the Eyeball Spider, so Cen Boqing's sword seemed to stab directly into his eye.
This was also the last thing the poor spider saw.
This little thing is so easy to use. Although he still has one here, he can't let it out to monitor Cen again later.
Bo Qing, Zhong Sunmou and others.
Lu Dutong still had something to do, so he left quickly.
Not long after, the stairs creaked again, and a six or seven-year-old child ran up and stood at the door of He Lingchuan's house, looking around.
"What's up?"
He handed over a note, but He Lingchuan saw it clearly without taking it, because there were only two words written on it:
Wu Kai.
The real name of Uncle Wu next to Cen Boqing is Wu Kai.
He Lingchuan threw a few copper coins, and the child ran away happily. The tiger on the side also saw it and wondered: "What does this mean?"
He Lingchuan smiled and said: "Some people were afraid that I would miss this important clue about Uncle Wu, so they wrote a special note to remind me."
"Is there anyone?" Jiao Yu changed his position from lying down to standing, doing a downward dog pose in the middle to stretch, "Do we have any other help?"
"We followed the clues to come to Baishali. The clues are very clear. Do you still remember?"
Jiao Yu was slightly stunned: "Wait a minute, are you saying that this piece of paper was sent by that Mr. Mai, um, Mai Xuewen?"
"If he can send us the Record of Worshiping the Gods, then it's not a big deal to send another note." He Lingchuan said slowly, "If he really sent it, he might be a third party in this case."
"Mai Xuewen doesn't want to deal with them himself, but he wants to rely on our strength?"
"As you can see, Cen Boqing is difficult to deal with." He Lingchuan said, "I hold the title of the crown prince's special envoy, but I still feel constrained and have many obstacles when investigating this case. Especially when facing Cen Boqing, I have no deterrent effect at all."
On the contrary, it was Cen Boqing who clearly acted as a deterrent to the officials of Chibi Kingdom.
"He left a lot of clues in Shuanglu Town. But no matter how smart this person is, he could not have expected that there would be two groups of people visiting his residence: me and Zhongsun Mou. And Zhongsun Mou not only took away
Most of the information and clues have to be used as obstacles to characterize this case as a female cadre case."
"Now that he sees that I have made little progress here, and even gave Cen Boqing a prisoner, he feels a little anxious."
Jiao Yu stared: "So it seems that Mai Xuewen is also in Baisha?"
"He is the one who stirs up trouble. Of course he will be in Baishaqian. Otherwise, how could he witness what happened next?" He Lingchuan sighed, "But checking people here is much more difficult than in Shuanglu Town."
"He hides his head and shows his tail, but he wants to teach us how to do things?" Jiao Yu snorted, "You think we don't know to keep an eye on Wu Kai's clue?"
