According to Shangguan Shaoqin's instructions, Lin Jia had obtained a way to contact Xuantian Sect from the tavern, and everything was as the other party expected. When he moved in the city, he was closely monitored by Jin Yiwei.

However, this kind of blatant follow-up was more like a warning than detection, so Lin Jia didn't take it seriously.

And at this moment, he who should have completed his mission and returned, the reason why he is still wandering outside the city is because Shangguan Shaoqin's second sentence unfortunately hit the mark.

"Your Excellency followed all the way, don't you plan to come out and meet?" Lin Jia stopped, and suddenly turned to face the empty road in front of him.

A moment later, a figure leaned out from the night, Lin Jia narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you an official of the imperial court?"

I saw that this person was dressed as a fast catcher, with an official hat on his head and an official knife on his waist. It was none other than Xu He, the head catcher of the Luoyang Yamen in the eastern capital.

"Xu Butou, you are so sneaky, you don't act like a member of the public family," Lin Jia still bowed his hands and asked politely: "I don't know what is this Mr. Xu looking for? "

Xu He's unshaven beard looked a bit haggard, but his resolute eyes were still as bright as stars. He took out the token of the yamen, and said in a deep voice, "I have a few questions I want to ask sir, please stay still."

"What my lord wants to ask, I have already explained it clearly a few days ago." Lin Jia lowered his head and glanced at the token, his eyes were a little serious: "If you want to ask anything else, please tell me."

Xu He said: "The head arrester is investigating a murder case that happened in the Eastern Capital a while ago. Dare I ask you where you are going when you leave the city late at night?"

"Murder case?"

Lin Jia was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that it was not the first time he and Xu He met. As early as when Shangguan's family first arrived in Dongdu, the other party had come to ask some things, but at that time the other party expressed Obscure, did not explain the true meaning.

But hearing Xu He's words at this moment, Lin Jia suddenly realized that the other party was talking about the cases of the three major families in Dongdu and the Huo family, right?
He wasn't surprised by the other party's conscientiousness, but that the case had already been settled, and the criminal had been identified by the court as Xuantian Sect. The so-called investigation by the other party should actually be called justice.

But Xu He dared to go to Xuantianjiao to ask for justice as a small headhunter.

Moreover, the other party has absolutely nothing to do with it. It is reasonable to say that the local yamen's eyes are smeared and they are invisible in the vendetta in the rivers and lakes. Xu He is completely meddling in his own business.

As Lin Jia guessed, Xu He really planned to find trouble with the Xuantian Sect.

Although the three major families in Dongdu and the later Huo family are not good things, these are all human lives after all, and there are innocent people among the three families. These people did not participate in the struggle in Dongdu, but they also died tragically under the knife Down.

Although the yamen had already attributed the matter to Jianghu vendetta, Xu He was unwilling to be such a fool. He vowed to seek justice for the innocent dead, so these days, he has been secretly investigating this matter.

After the slaughter of the three families and the destruction of the Huo family, Dongdu fell into a strange silence for a period of time, and no one dared to make trouble at this point in time.

Xu He searched everywhere, but made little progress. After all, he was alone, let alone troubled Xuantian Sect, he didn't even know where the other party was.

However, the arrival of Shangguan's family caused ripples in the dead lake in Dongdu. First, the appearance of the Jinyiwei, and then the involvement of the Qingcheng faction.

And Xu He is keenly aware that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, because the catastrophe of the three families and the Huo family this time is all related to the saint who turned out to be born in the Xuantian Sect, and this saint is related to the Qingcheng sect. Tianquan, his disciple, was deeply involved.

However, when Xu He came to visit several times, the real Yushu avoided him. In desperation, he had to find another way, trying to start with Shangguan's side.

It's a pity that although the Shangguan family treated him like a guest, no matter how Xu He made indirect remarks, the other party didn't respond at all.

However, Xu He probably misunderstood the other party in this matter. The person who was in charge of receiving Xu He at that time was Lin Jia. The Shangguan family deliberately avoided talking about it.

Now Xu He was at the end of his rope, so he had no choice but to do this. He accidentally discovered Lin Jia's movements, and quietly followed him out of the city, intending to try his luck.

But at this moment, Lin Jia also felt a little tricky, the opponent was hitting the right shot, and he was a little out of luck.

Now that he was leaving the city, he was going to search for the Xuantian Sect. If it was someone from the other side who came, he would follow Shangguan Shaoqin's instructions and kill him, but it was a man from the Gongmen.

Lin Jia was very annoyed. After thinking for a while, he decided to pretend to be stupid. With a surprised expression on his face, he couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Could it be that Xu Butou thinks that there is something wrong between me and Xuantian Sect?"

Xu He was a little embarrassed. He had guessed randomly, and now he was asked such a question, and he felt a little embarrassed.

When Lin Jia saw the other party showing embarrassment, he knew that the other party was a blind cat and a dead mouse, so he was relieved, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

A gust of evil wind suddenly rose under the night, and several black-clothed swordsmen appeared from the darkness like ghosts.

"Who?!" Xu He paled in shock, pulled out his knife and asked.

Lin Jia was also shocked. In the darkness, he saw the iconic pale mask, and his heart sank.

"Heh, why is there another catcher? A friend of Shangguan's family came to visit late at night, and brought such a hot gift along the way. Shangguan Shaoqin really went back more and more, and he was ashamed to show this level of tricks."

Gongsun Huan shook his head, what he said made Xu He dumbfounded, he suddenly turned to look at Lin Jia and said, "You—the Shangguan family really colluded with Xuantian Sect!"

"I" Lin Jia was speechless, although the other party guessed wrong, but the actual distance from the truth is not that far away, he is really speechless right now.

But what he didn't expect was that although Xu He was a bit stubborn, he was not pedantic. The questioning just now was more about trying to make a fool of himself.

After he feigned a shot, he turned around and fled. He exchanged his injury for his life, and was forced out of the encirclement by two black-clothed swordsmen.

Under Gongsun Huan's signal, the group of black-clothed swordsmen did not pursue and kill them. Lin Jia understood in an instant that once Xu He returned to the Eastern Capital alive, it would be a great threat to the reputation of the Shangguan family.

"Why did the king tell him to run away!" Lin Jia, who was trembling with anger, couldn't help asking in a cold voice, even though he had already guessed the answer.

"Shangguan Shaoqin asked the Dharma King, it must be like that." Gongsun Huan smiled, and led the people back into the darkness, leaving only one meaningful sentence.

"Bring the head of the captor, Ben Fawang believes in the sincerity and determination of the Shangguan family."
