The news of mass arrests on the streets also reached the ears of Yu Qing and others.
At first, they didn't know what was going on. It wasn't until "Big Head" found an opportunity to sneak back and reported the relevant situation that they realized there was another conspiracy behind the arrest. That Lao Qiu had stolen Xiang Luoce's money.
Keeping the secret aside, in order to find some like-minded helpers, he actually leaked information and ruined Prime Minister Luo Ce's arrest operation.
As for what Lao Qiu might do next, Yu Qing did not dare to be careless and let "Big Head" continue to look for opportunities to keep an eye on it.
After the arrest, no matter how many suspects were found and ran away, some unlucky ones were finally caught. When faced with the interrogation, they basically confessed honestly that they came to the Immortal Mansion because of rumors, and they obviously believed that this was not a crime.
Haidu did not conduct any rigorous investigation. In fact, they did not care much about the origins of these people. As long as their identities were confirmed and there would be no misunderstandings that would be difficult to end, that would be enough.
At noon the next day, the dozen or so people who were arrested were dragged directly to a lively place on the street. They killed chickens to scare monkeys and failed to catch the "chickens" they wanted to catch, so they had to be used as evidence and their heads were beheaded in public. The crime was forced imprisonment.
Those who went up intended to murder Prince Duan's adopted son.
More than a dozen bloody heads fell to the ground, which really shocked many people. The adopted son of Prince Duan already had the identity of Youjiaobu, and with this incident, many people really had to think about it.
When Qing Ya heard the news, there was a knock on the door. When his subordinates opened the door, they found that it was a Qing Ya who was delivering the letter. When his subordinates wanted to receive the letter, Qing Ya refused to give it to him. Qing Ya was in need of Qing Ya.
I personally collected it, saying it was the request of the sender.
Qingya had no choice but to come forward in person. When he saw the hidden flower mark on the letter, he was shocked and realized that it was a letter from his godmother. He immediately accepted it, then took the letter back to his room, closing the door before taking it out.
Letter to check.
It was a secret letter that only a few people could understand, and he was naturally the one who could understand it.
After reading the letter, I frowned. At first, I thought my godmother had some reply about my treasure hunt. Unexpectedly, my godmother didn’t mention anything about this matter, and instead asked something else.
After thinking for a moment, he immediately left the room without letting his men follow him. He went out alone, went directly to the floors below, and knocked on Yu Qing's door.
The person who opened the door was Mu Aotie. Seeing that he was quite polite, he nodded and said, "Master Qing."
Without allowing Mu Aotie to report, Qingya forced the door open and went in, shouting, "Tanhua Lang."
The people who were idle in the hall stood up. Yu Qing was not there and was practicing in the room, but his voice still alarmed Yu Qing after all.
As soon as Yu Qing opened the door, he yelled, but before he could say hello, Qingya forced his way in and closed the door smoothly.
What do you mean? Yu Qing was a little confused, "Master Qing, what are you talking about?"
Qingya lowered his voice, "Why are you checking Jingyuan Shipyard and looking at the warehouse, Lao Qiu?"
If it hadn't been for the letter from his godmother, he wouldn't have known about it.
His godmother was also considered to have great supernatural powers. Some of the information exchanged between the fourth cave master of Qianliu Mountain and the other side of Qianliu Mountain was actually learned by her, so she sent a summons to intervene.
It was precisely because of this that Qingya knew that Yu Qing was secretly checking up on his people at Jingyuan Shipping Company. Not only did his godmother want to know why, he also wanted to know, so he came over directly. His godmother also asked her to find out.
Yu Qing was shocked when he heard him ask such a direct question, "Hurry up and cast a spell to check yourself."
Qingya was puzzled, "What are you checking?"
Although Yu Qing felt that it was unlikely that the golden beetle would follow Qingya directly like this, he still had to be cautious and said, "Check if there are any bugs on your body."
"Bug? What bug?"
"You are a bug that can eavesdrop and follow you. Check yourself quickly."
Seeing that the other party was still confused and suspicious, Yu Qing simply took action himself and used a spell to carefully clean Qingya's body. After confirming that there was nothing there, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I bet you, those bulging pockets are full of peanuts.
.”
Qingya was still confused, "What do you mean?"
"This is why I checked Lao Qiu's meaning. I accidentally found a small golden-armored insect here before. It was only so big. Although I had never seen it before, I thought it was a bit strange, but I didn't take it seriously. Who would have thought that when I turned around,
Someone slipped a note in and said it was raised by Lao Qiu..." Yu Qing repeated the trick he used to fool Xiang Lanxuan.
Similar to Xiang Lanxuan's reaction, Qingya felt chills in his heart after hearing this. If such a bug really existed, then it would be fine. God knows how many secrets he had eavesdropped on. He was not in the mood to peel the peanuts in his hands and stared blankly.
Said: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?"
Yu Qing looked strange, "Master Qing, do you blame me? I also want to know what medicine you took wrongly recently. He pretended to keep a distance from me and wouldn't wait to say a word to you.
You see, Mr. Qing, what do you mean, I didn’t offend you, did I?”
"..." Qingya thought for a while, and seemed to be a little reluctant to see each other recently.
Yu Qing: "Also, that is your shipyard's warehouse. If you hadn't come to ask today, I would have suspected that you ordered Lao Qiu to spy on me. How could I dare to alert you? Of course I would investigate undercover."
Both sides were reasonable and reasonable. Qingya was speechless for a moment. He could only shake his head and waved his hands and said: "It has nothing to do with me. I didn't spy on you. I don't know the situation of Lao Qiu either. Jingyuan Shipping Company
There are so many people up and down, and there are people taking care of it. How could I know a person who looks after the warehouse? Tell me, what else did you find?"
Yu Qing: "That old Qiu is a bit evil. People here don't dare to have too much contact with him, and they don't know much."
Qingya rubbed the fingers of his hands together for a while, "Listening to what you said, you sound like a voodoo player."
Yu Qing suddenly remembered something, "By the way, where is Huo Lang, the former manager of Jingyuan Shipping Company?"
Qingya raised his eyebrows slightly, but still told him the truth, "Because of him, the shipyard suffered huge losses. He had to pay the price and has disappeared from the world."
Yu Qing naturally understood what it meant, "Did you kill him?"
"You don't seem to have any friendship, right?"
Yu Qing's eyes flashed with uncertainty, "I want to know if there is another one named 'Huo Lang' here at Jingyuan Shipping Company?"
"What's the meaning?"
"My people accidentally discovered that there is actually someone hiding in the dock warehouse. His previous name seemed to be Huo Lang. Now he has changed his name to 'Chen Hai', but he doesn't look like the Huo Lang who is in charge of the shipping company here."
"Is it unlikely that two people with the same name are sailing here together? The name 'Huo Lang' is not an easy name to share."
Yu Qing said meaningfully: "You didn't understand what I meant. I just said that 'Huo Lang' is not from the warehouse, but is hiding in the warehouse. What I want to ask is, are you sure that Huo Lang is really dead?"
?"
Qingya's eyes showed surprise, "The people below should not dare to lie to me about this kind of thing. According to reports, it was Hong Ji who killed Huo Lang with her own hands, and the people below confirmed the body."
Yu Qing: "Where's Hong Ji? Let's reconfirm the situation with her."
Qingya shook his head slightly, "Hongji is dead. She was killed by Huo Lang. According to reports, when she was ordered to deal with Huo Lang, Huo Lang noticed it and gave Hongji a fatal blow, which also caused fatal injuries to Hongji."
Yu Qing: “Where are their bodies?”
Qingya understood what he meant and wanted to re-examine the autopsy, so he was a little puzzled and said: "There are regulations here. If the killings are made public, wouldn't it cause trouble for yourself? The truth is the same everywhere, the body will not be discovered.
Yes, it was naturally destroyed."
Yu Qing: "In other words, there is no proof at all?"
Qingya was startled, and the two looked at each other. After a while, he slowly said: "Do you suspect that Huo Lang is not dead?"
Yu Qing: "There is indeed someone around Lao Qiu who has used the name 'Huo Lang' before. Don't you want to confirm it?"
Qingya frowned, "The bodies are gone, how can we confirm it? Can't we just go to the warehouse to arrest them?"
Yu Qing asked back: "If a killer organization dares to put Huo Lang here, it won't have any means to control him, right?"
"Under normal circumstances, the organization will 'take good care' of the people he cares about, such as his family..." At this point, Qingya stopped, put his hands on his hips, and walked back and forth with clogs under his feet, as if he was thinking about something.
.
Yu Qing's eyes were already shining, and the two of them seemed to want to go together, "If that's the case, it would be interesting if the Huo Lang next to Lao Qiu is really the Huo Lang from before."
Qingya snorted and sneered, with a hint of ferocity in his smile, "Okay, I will handle this matter myself."
After that, he turned around and left.
But Yu Qing quickly stopped him, "Master Qing, please stay and ask, how did you know that I was checking up on Lao Qiu?"
Qingya waved him away, "I have my own way."
"Master Qing, if you fool me like this, don't blame me for not telling you if anything happens in the future. If something like this happens again, don't come to me."
Qingya paused, took out a peanut, crushed it, put the peeled kernels into his mouth, chewed them, and responded incidentally, "Is this worth getting angry at? The people in Qianliu Mountain discovered that you were checking Lao Qiu, and it happened to be
I am familiar with the people in Qianliu Mountain."
He didn't come when the incident happened, and he didn't come until now. Yu Qing guessed that he hadn't discovered it by himself, and that the news must have been passed on, or he had already guessed that he might have learned the news from Qianliu Mountain, and immediately
He advised: "Then you should explain this matter to Qianliu Mountain to avoid any misunderstanding."
Qingya turned to look at him, "Explain to Qianliushan? Is it worth it? You're just making trouble for nothing."
Yu Qing: "The rumors outside are not good for me. You know the reason why I stay here. It is to find the treasure of the Amber clan. Now everyone thinks that I am looking for some fairy mansion and they are all staring at me. If I keep staring like this,
How can I find the treasure? Once my investigation of Lao Qiu comes out, it will become more and more likely for people to misunderstand me. I said Master Qing, if you are interacting with me here, you don’t want people to misunderstand that you are looking for the treasure with me, right?"
"..." Qingya was speechless. He was the one who secretly searched for the treasure. After being told this, he found it necessary to explain to the fourth cave master about the investigation of Lao Qiu here, otherwise he might be targeted.
.
Yu Qing was afraid that he would not follow his plan, so he continued to urge, "Also, you are too late. As soon as the investigation of Lao Qiu came out, I was approached by Xiang Lanxuan from Dayes Division. Under her pressure
, I have already confessed this matter to her. Those families have always sent spies to each other. Who knows how long this matter can be hidden from Qianliushan? Is it interesting for you to hide it and not report it? Besides, if Qianliushan finds me, I will do the same.
There is no need to hide it, and it would be a bad idea if Qianliushan knew that you had concealed it or not. If you run to me, you must have a good explanation for Qianliushan."
Qingya thought for a moment and asked, "You didn't tell Xiang Lanxuan about Huo Lang, right?"
Yu Qing: "Didn't I ask you this just because I remembered it? Now that we have made the conversation clear, we can speak with the same voice to the outside world, so as not to make mistakes on either side."
"Let's keep it to ourselves, and don't let anyone else know about Huo Lang."
"It's easy to say, okay, I understand. Well, Mr. Qing, I'll send him off not far away."
"If you don't have such good intentions, don't pretend to be polite." Qingya sneered, walked over, opened the door, and strode away with clogs clattering.
He went upstairs directly, and before returning to his room, he called a few reliable people to go in with him.
When he got to the house and closed the door, he first had people guard the door and windows, and then gave an order, "Search for me, don't let go of any corner, not even the insect holes in the furniture and wood."
"Master Qing, what are you searching for?" someone asked.
Qingya: "Bug, show me if there is a bug hiding in the house. No matter what kind of bug it is, I will catch it as long as it is a bug."
He heard from Yu Qing that Lao Qiu not only had golden beetles, but also various other bugs in the warehouse, which he had to guard against.
If the house is not thoroughly checked now, he will not dare to speak. It is really too scary.
"Search for bugs?"
"What are you talking about? Just search as you are told. If one of them escapes, I will chop off one of your fingers!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately launched a search. Qingya walked to the table, poured a glass of wine and sipped it slowly, keeping a cold eye on any slight movement, not even missing the dust floating under the light and shadow.
Suddenly, as soon as everyone's search array was set up, they saw a golden shadow flashing out of the elevated structure on the side and quickly rushing towards the window. It was a golden beetle.
It had already heard what the owner had just said, and confirmed that it was directed at itself. It could not sit still and wait for death, but had to run away.
Something immediately flashed out of Qingya's hand, and the wine glass flew out, hitting it at a faster speed. To be precise, it caught it.
With a snap, the wine glass was directly embedded into the wall.
Bang, the wine glass burst and the wine spilled out. The golden beetle broke open the porcelain cup and broke through again.
But it was already too late, Qingya had already arrived in front of it, and when he grabbed it with his fingers, a powerful force directly fixed it in front of the window. The floating golden beetle struggled desperately and slowly floated towards the void.
Condensed in the five claws.
The sound of the wine glass exploding also attracted the attention of others. After seeing such a small insect with such destructive power, they realized that Qing Ye was not innocent.
Observing the bug in his hand, Qingya realized that what Tanhua Lang said was true. He didn't expect that he was also targeted. He felt more and more frightened. After thinking about it carefully, he didn't have much contact with Tanhua Lang recently, except just now.
, when Lao Qiu came to Amber Sea, he didn't seem to tell any secrets to Tanhua Lang, and he wouldn't say anything that shouldn't be said to his subordinates. At most, it was the matter of sending people to find things, which he never leaked.
It's about finding treasure.
After repeatedly confirming that there should be no big problem, he grabbed a tea cup from the air, put the golden beetle directly into it, closed the lid, and held the tea cup and the lid tightly in his hands. This time he cast a spell to bless the tea cup, and the golden beetle
The beetle could no longer break the porcelain, and even the sound of the impact was muted.
He turned back to look at the crowd and shouted: "What are you looking at? Keep searching. You won't even let go of an ant."
Having seen the anomaly and knowing something was wrong, a group of people acted quickly, and this time they searched with great care.
It turns out that the sanitary condition of Zhihai Pavilion is quite good, and the money spent staying here is not wasted. This time, not even an ant was found.
Qingya asked them to check it several times before he felt relieved. He waved the others away, leaving only one person beside him, and asked: "Where is Huo Lang's family?"
The subordinate replied: "Of course it has been properly arranged."
This is not a lie, it is indeed a proper arrangement. In order to reassure the people below, the killer organization will ensure that as long as the relevant personnel do not betray the organization and die, their families will be properly arranged and their lives will be guaranteed to be worry-free.
Qingya: "Transfer the family's little secrets under control, and don't let any news leak out."
The subordinate was stunned for a moment, but still nodded and said: "Yes."
Qingya: "Let's go, first go to the stronghold over Qianliu Mountain and say hello quickly, saying that I want to see the Fourth Cave Master."
"Yes." His subordinates quickly took the order and left.
In the warehouse of Jingyuan Shipyard, Lao Qiu, who was mixing a vat of mush, suddenly covered his chest, threw the thing in his hand, and quickly walked to the door. He looked at the towering Zhihai Pavilion in the distance, his face full of anxiety.
.
Huo Lang, who noticed something unusual, came out of the darkness, hid behind the door, and asked, "Senior, what's wrong?"
Lao Qiu murmured: "It has been discovered again. My spirit insect has been discovered again. How could this happen? It shouldn't be. It has been trained in place and is very clever."
Huo Lang knew as soon as he heard that it was the one that was following Qingya. The one that was eyeing Luo Ce had withdrawn because of the tip-off. He was afraid that the secret would be discovered, so the old devil didn't dare to let the precious bug take risks easily.
If he was discovered, he would be discovered, so what else could he do? Apart from sighing to express his sympathy, Huo Lang actually had no emotions in his heart. It was not his thing anyway, and he could not empathize with him such as feeling distressed.
After worrying in silence for a long time, and even the sun in the sky had obviously moved a long distance, Lao Qiu suddenly said, "The spirit insect is not dead. The other party did not kill the spirit insect. He caught it..." He looked far away, wondering,
"Where are you taking this to?"
Suddenly he turned around and said, "I'll go out and take a look."
Huo Lang was worried that he would take risks to save the bugs, so he immediately reminded him: "Senior, be careful of fraud."
Lao Qiu had already strode out. On the way, he told a dock employee that he had something to go out and asked someone to look at the warehouse, and then quickly left the dock.
Huo Lang hid deep in the warehouse.
In front of the window on the top floor of the restaurant, facing the sea, Meng Po heard the knock on the door and responded: "Come in."
The owner of the restaurant came in and quickly came forward to report: "That old Qiu made some noise. He left the warehouse and left the dock."
"Oh, are you starting to make some moves?" Meng Po's eyes flashed, as if he wanted to see what the trick was, he went straight to the side and grabbed the cloak hanging on the wall, put it on his body, covered his head and face, and left.
In Zhihai Pavilion, Xiang Lanxuan, who occupies the magpie's nest, is sitting in front of the dressing table, applying red lips in front of the mirror. She likes to put on makeup and also likes to look at herself in the mirror with makeup done.
One of his subordinates suddenly came inside to report, "Da Zhongxing, please report below. That old Qiu has left the warehouse and left the dock. I don't know what he is going to do."
"Oh?" Xiang Lanxuan stared at herself in the mirror and seemed to be talking to herself, "I'm afraid there are a lot of people staring at him, so don't get too competitive."
She smeared her red lips with one finger, pursed her lips repeatedly, and after confirming that her makeup was flawless, she put down her lipstick, grabbed a cloak to cover her true appearance, and left.
On a large ship adrift at sea, in a bright cabin, Chu Wu, who only had one pair of eyes exposed, was reading about Qingya's situation. He had just received a summons not long ago, saying that Qingya wanted to see him. He also wondered why he wanted to see him.
For me, what I was looking through in my hands was just a little bit of homework done before the meeting.
There was a knock on the door, and a person came in and was handed a message saying: "That old Qiu followed Qingya."
