So I play chess

Chapter 94
The letter did not mention the names of the sender and recipient, which was in line with the agreement, and the letter only mentioned Liu Ruobai and others by pronouns.Judging from the handwriting and handwriting, it was indeed written by Liu Ruoyu.

Even so, Master Sun did not fully believe the contents of the letter.

Originally, before sending Liu Ruoyu to the Taishou Aunt's residence, he had made an agreement with him that if he gained trust in the residence, he would ask the Taishou Aunt to bring him with him, or send someone to a Sun family's cosmetics shop in the city to give it to him. He bought some cinnamon dello.

But until now, it was only a few days ago, Liu Ruoyu did not follow the agreement, and was even sent to the Yang Mansion, except for the first time, he never even stepped through the door of not being lost.

The news that was sent at this time was still such an urgent one. Although the process was meticulous, it was hard not to arouse suspicion.

However, things can also be turned around.

If Liu Ruoyu had other thoughts, or simply joined the prefect's aunt, or someone else forged the letter.So to be on the safe side, you should make the agreement thoroughly before passing on the news.

Right now, apart from the bandits that appeared outside the city, there were no other urgent matters in Tongcheng, so it was not so urgent.If someone came to harm the Sun House, they really couldn't think of a reason.

Mr. Sun is used to making a living in a shady way, and he will think too much when he encounters problems. In this situation, he is in a dilemma.

The most important thing in the letter is that people from Lianzhou are coming to find out who in Tongcheng had secretly communicated with Nanchu.

Master Sun thought about it for a while, and finally decided to stand still. He only asked people to tell everyone to proceed carefully and be careful.

However, as soon as the person who notified them was sent out, several places happened to come back to report that there was a soldier from the Chu army who was acting suspiciously.

Master Sun hurriedly called everyone in to question carefully, and only then did he know that before dawn, a secret door of the Sun Mansion in the city found a soldier sneaking around outside with a roll of maps in his hand.Originally thought it was a visitor, but thought the time was strange, but didn't think about anything else.

But the soldier was just wandering around, staring at the map in his hand as if for comparison.But he didn't intend to go in, and finally left a trace in an inconspicuous place, and left.

There are people from the Sun family near the secret door, who are responsible for keeping an eye on people passing by.At that time, I felt suspicious, so I followed him for a long distance, but I didn't expect that after following for a long time, I found that the soldier was heading for another gambling house of the Sun family.

When he arrived near the gambling house, he still wandered outside for a while, checking the map at the same time, leaving a trace at last, and then left again.

Although the man was wearing casual clothes, but judging from his body and posture, he was obviously a soldier. He also looked like he had a knife across his waist, and the buckskin boots on his feet were indeed Chu soldiers.The members of the Sun family did not dare to act rashly.

The crowd followed him for a long distance, and this person went to five places one after another, all of which were property of the Sun family.Everywhere they go, they do the same thing.

What's more, after daybreak, the soldier finally stopped searching elsewhere in the Sun's house, but actually went into the inn where the lord from Lianzhou was temporarily staying.Waited for an hour before leaving.

Mr. Sun's scalp became numb after hearing this, and this happened to coincide with the news that Liu Ruoyu just sent.

If you only check his properties such as gambling workshops and trick halls, it will be nothing more than losing some money. At worst, he will sacrifice his tail for survival, and it will be fine if he feels distressed.But what they investigated this time could cost him his family and his life.

"How did the man mark it?"

Seeing that Master Sun's face was particularly gloomy today, the subordinates did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly presented some papers.

There was nothing else on the paper but five crooked circles.

"What is this?" Master Sun asked, looking at the absurdity.

The subordinate hurriedly replied: "It was drawn by the soldier, and the younger ones couldn't figure it out, so I showed the master the painting as it is."

Master Sun flicked the paper, his brows were all knit into a ball, and there was already anger in his voice: "Is it just like this?"

Master Sun's anger was not a trivial matter to them, and another subordinate hurriedly replied: "Master Mingjian, it's not that the little ones painted like this, but the soldier did it like this. The little ones compared Here, there is no difference in size or appearance."

After listening to Master Sun, he just looked at him without speaking, his expression was still gloomy, and the subordinate felt flustered for a while after being watched.Several other people also followed suit.

"Really."

"The little ones know that the matter is of great importance, and they have compared it many times."

"Master Mingjian."

Several people chattered for a long time, and Master Sun finally stretched out his hand again.The person closest to him understood immediately, and handed the few pieces of paper that had just fallen to the ground to his master.

Mr. Sun laid out the papers on the case, carefully pondered for a while, and then asked which one was drawn at which place, when and where this person was, where did he stop in the middle, and whether he had spoken to others. etc.

However, after asking all the necessary questions, this person is definitely investigating secretly, but the key points are not clearly explained, and these crooked circles are even more unclear.

Master Sun couldn't figure it out so he stopped thinking, and asked again: "Where is this person now?"

"He came out of the post house and didn't go anywhere else, but went to Nanshi. He even asked for a room in Chengyi Inn, and then rested there, saying he would stay for two days."

This is strange, the Chengyi Inn is also owned by the Sun family, but it is one of the few, completely clean ones.

"What does he rest during the day?"

"The little one didn't know, so he sent a message to the inn. The shopkeeper asked Xiaoer to go in and have a look. The man didn't make any movement, as if he was waiting for someone."

Master Sun was silent for a while after hearing this, then suddenly slapped his desk and stood up abruptly.

"Oops! The rice grains we bought a few days ago, the first batch went into Chengyi Inn, they are going to uproot them!"

After saying a word, Master Sun was already furious, and asked again: "Is there anyone following him today?"

The subordinate hurriedly said: "We have been keeping an eye on this road, and no one is following in the dark."

Master Sun said "OK" in a deep voice, and then pointed to one of his subordinates: "We still have an empty yard behind Chengyi Inn, you call all the people around there, and set up an ambush, wait for me It’s time to obey orders.”

The subordinate left immediately after receiving the order, and Master Sun ordered another: "Go and let the shopkeeper find someone, pretend to be a messenger, and lead him over, just say that it is inconvenient here, and talk to another place. Remember not to say too much .”

After the important matters were arranged, Master Sun instructed some minor matters, and after a while, he took many strong men and headed all the way to Nanshi.
