"Wait!" Shen Cha waved his hand towards the shopkeeper, "I have another question."

"Miss, please speak."

"Theoretically speaking, Yiqing Mansion is full of talented people. It should be easy to find someone who can dig burrows and tunnels. Why must Tugu?" Shen Cha rubbed his chin, "Wanyan Qingmu is so Do you like him?"

"Besides, as far as we know, Wanyan Qingmu has recruited many people over the years, and he has quite a few talented people under his command. Among them are a group of strange people from the Western Regions who have helped him a lot. Yiqing Mansion In that neighborhood where people from the Western Regions gather, there are quite a few of Wanyan Qingmu's eyeliner, right? Even if they don't work for him, they are doing it to earn money, find out information for him, and provide him with convenience." Xue Ruitian nodded towards Shen Cha, "These In the past year, this kid has done a lot of tricks behind his father's back, and he has recruited so-called talents for himself."

"Yes." Shen Cha nodded, "Take a few random picks from among these people, and the craftsmanship should be as good as Zhun Tugu's, and even be bettered by him."

"So, here comes the problem." Xue Ruitian sang with Shen Cha, without giving the shopkeeper a chance to explain, "Why do you have to agree to Tugu!" Seeing the shopkeeper's hesitation, he waved his hand lightly, "Don't say that an enemy's enemy is a friend. This kind of nonsense is obviously a lie. If you want to believe it, we don't want to."

"That's right." Jin Jing, who fears the world will not be chaotic, was added to the queue of singing and harmony, "This is just a random excuse, and it's not the real reason. Put yourself in our shoes, if we were Wanyan's family Would you find a son from a family who had betrayed us to help me complete such an important matter regardless of past suspicions?"

"No." Seeing Jin Jing looking at him, Shen Haolin shook his head lightly, "Once in a while, there will be two, three, four, or even more. What's more..." He paused, "Zhun Tugu once again The fall also challenged the bottom line of the Wanyan family's authority."

"What brother said is true." Shen Cha nodded in agreement, "If it were me, I wouldn't look for such a person. Although it doesn't sound good to add insult to injury, for your own safety and interests, the farther you can stay away from such a person, the better."

"Cha'er is right. If Zhun Tugu is really valued by Wanyan Qingmu, then what he can do is not only digging holes or digging tunnels, but also other skills. If he has no other skills, still Being accepted by Wanyan Qingmu may be due to other reasons."

"Brother thinks it's possible that someone gave him a guarantee? For example..." Shen Cha stood up, walked to the board, and clicked on the three characters of the mysterious person, "This person."

"Yes." Shen Haolin nodded, "The identity of this person has not been found out with the shopkeeper, but we do not rule out that he is on the same line as Aunt Wanyanping and the Japanese. There are so many ways and means to hide oneself, and they can come and go freely in Liao, Jin, Xia, and even the Western Regions without being noticed, it seems that no one can do this except this organization."

"What my brother said is also what I want to say."

"However, this is also my guess. Whether this mysterious person has such great energy remains to be seen." Shen Haolin looked at Xue Ruitian, Jin Jing, and then at Shen Cha, and finally his eyes fell on He and the shopkeeper. , "In addition to this, there is another point."

"Another point?" Shen Cha thought about it, and exchanged glances with Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing, "Brother is saying that Wanyan Qingmu might have mastered some little secret about Zhun Tugu and forced him to work for him?"

Shen Haolin didn't speak, but just smiled at Shen Cha.

"Is that what you mean?" Seeing Shen Haolin nodding slightly, Shen Cha's eyes also fell on He and the shopkeeper, "What do you think?"

"Miss, forgive me, this... the villain is really not very clear, and the villain's spies didn't say anything very specific." The shopkeeper He sighed, "They just told the villain that Zhun Tugu personally came to the door, He went there a total of four or five times. The first few times were when Wanyan Qingmu was not at home, and the two of them hadn't met. Then..." He raised his head and thought for a while, "The last time was an appointment, and we finally met. The two of them locked up in the study and talked for a long time, about half an hour, but no one knew exactly what they talked about and how it went. However, since then, Zhun Tugu came more frequently Yes, but they all come with people behind their backs. Usually it’s almost nightfall, but they don’t stay too long each time. Sometimes they just leave after drinking a cup of tea, and sometimes they just have a late-night snack. The longest time is no more than An hour."

"It's not that after nightfall, the business of digging burrows and tunnels is a shady business, so you can't come in broad daylight." Xue Ruitian sneered, "Do you know that Zhun Tugu saw Wanyan Qingmu for the first time? At that time, what kind of state is it? Looks, clothes, etc., is there anything special that attracts attention?"

"The state of the first time..." and the shopkeeper once again fell into memory, "Master Hou, it's like this, the villain once mentioned it, and when he went, he was downcast and haggard, and he looked like he should. It’s because he hasn’t slept well or eaten well for several days. However, when he left, he looked much better, his face was flushed, and he seemed to be a different person when he came.”

"It doesn't mean that someone needs to be replaced. When he comes, he will be in danger, and if he can't persuade Wanyan Qingmu to help him, he will have to die. Not only him, but the entire Zhuntugu family will be buried with him. But Wanyan Qingmu Agreeing to his request, no matter what the condition is or how harsh it is, it finally solves his urgent need, at least he can have a good meal and sleep well that night." Xue Ruitian sighed, "And the shopkeeper, How did these two people hook up, let's not pursue it, let your people pay more attention, and see what other activities Wanyan Qingmu and Zhun Tugu have after the tunnel is destroyed, they will definitely not be reconciled, they will definitely They came up with another way. We don't have anyone by Wanyan Qingmu's side, so it's up to you to worry about it."

"Your Majesty, you are being polite, this is what a villain should do." The shopkeeper He glanced at Shen Cha, "Miss, what do you think about this list..."

"This Langster, doesn't it sound like a golden man's name?" Shen Cha looked at the shopkeeper and said, "A person from the Western Regions?"

"Yes, miss." He nodded with the shopkeeper, "This person is the only person from the Western Regions who shows up around Wanyan Qingmu, and he specially provides weapons for Wanyan Qingmu."

"Weapon?" Shen Cha snorted lightly, "It's a firearm!"
