Chapter 565 Sniffing the Roses
A city is torrential, and the rain darkens thousands of homes.

Chang Qianfo was leaning on the nanmu reclining chair with the backrest raised, his unstructured and thin face hidden in the dim light of the room, the outline was blurred by a thin layer of dark color, and the darkness flickered uncertainly.

It's not as bright as it used to be.

His hands were also so thin that only bones remained, with protruding knuckles, they rested lightly on the handle of the chair engraved with auspicious cloud patterns, his eyes were slightly closed, and he listened to Ling Fu's words one by one:
"...After the incident, Fang Xian rearranged the defense line and closed the four gates, all guarded by heavy soldiers."

"It's not just us, Ming Palace has also sent a large number of people to tightly strangle all the passes and main roads out of the city. Tan Zhou should still be in the city."

Chang Qianfo didn't answer, just nodded his head slightly, indicating that he was listening.Ling Fu continued to say:

"In order to rescue the son, the fourth lady destroyed a casino and two banks in Minggong, a total of three properties. I have roughly estimated the losses and sent the bills, but Jin Yanchen refused..."

Only then did Chang Qianfo open his eyes.Ling Fu paused, waiting for his instructions.

"If you don't accept it, don't send it away."

Chang Qianfo said slowly, with a stagnant voice: "Jin Yanchen refused to accept our compensation because he always felt that Dian was his and didn't want her to have anything to do with me. If he thought about it, he would be annoyed again because he wanted to protect his shortcomings. He will not be too embarrassing for Dian Ke. On the contrary, it is Uncle Ling's move - Yi made him angry."

Changjiabao can afford to pay for several money houses and gambling houses, and so can Jin Yanchen.

What really annoyed Jin Yanchen was not how many strongholds Mu Dianke had destroyed and how much gold and silver he had lost, but that she had betrayed the goals and beliefs they had always adhered to for an outsider.

Ling Fu understood immediately, and sighed, "It's just that I didn't think about it."

"Uncle Ling has a heart."

Ling Fu's move was nothing more than hoping to make up for the losses caused by Mu Dian to the greatest extent through compensation to the Ming Palace.

Jin Yanchen had an explanation to his subordinates, so he would not be forced to punish Mu Dianke severely.

Although it was inappropriate to do so, Chang Qianfo was grateful in his heart.

"...Thinking about it, he wouldn't be angry with Dianke for such a trivial matter."

That man was so proud, even if he was so hurt that he went crazy, he didn't bother to say a word.

But yesterday, after Mu Dianke left, he suddenly turned around and asked himself such a sentence:

"At Qili'ao, I'm going to kill you, did you know in advance, or didn't you know?"

Mu Dian set up his defenses in advance and instigated Xu Younan's rebellion, how could Chang Qianfo not know?

But he was lucky, thinking that Jin Yanchen would not do such a crazy move in order to take care of the overall situation.

Or, he still had a little bit of thought that should not be exposed to the public, even he himself was not aware of it at the time: He hoped that Mu Dian would make a compromise because he cherished his life, and let him leave.

Jin Yanchen thought of what he hadn't noticed.

On the surface, he looks domineering and domineering, but inside he hides such a sensitive and delicate heart, he has far-reaching plans for it, and he is completely on guard against it.Dian Ke is by his side, so I can rest assured?
"Let Uncle Liang send more people to find Tan Zhou before Jin Yanchen."

Ling Fu responded, and said: "There is still one thing that needs to be decided by the young master. Early this morning, Gui Ruotong from Luoyang Bajun was seriously poisoned, and was personally escorted by the fourth Boxiao and the sixth Wanding to the Yixin Hall for medical treatment." .

Jiang Yue and Li Ting agreed that the iron guards should first detain them, break through from several people, and find Tan Zhou's whereabouts.But Liangqing doesn't seem to want to intervene. "

It is not clear whether Bajun in Luoyang participated in the arson, but they are members of the Mu family after all, and they are also accomplices.Liangqing's attitude is really intriguing.

"Who poisoned it?" Chang Qianfo pondered.

"Huo An, the third Shangjun of the Ming Palace, belongs to the Fourth Miss."

Ling Fu added: "What's strange is that Pan Yuji, the head of the Lingxu Sect, was also there at the time. It is said that he had saved Gui Ruotong's life at the time of the incident, but Gui Ruotong didn't appreciate it, and insisted that Pan Yuji was Huo Ruotong. shore accomplice."

Chang Qianfo's eyes flickered slightly, he pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What's the attitude of Bo Xiao and Wan Ding?"

"Bo Xiao is on Gui Ruotong's side, Wan Ding hasn't made a statement yet."

"Leave this matter to Uncle Liang with full authority."

Chang Qianfo no longer hesitated, and ordered decisively: "Find out what happened early this morning as soon as possible. Pay special attention to Huo An and Pan Yuji, who they have been with recently, and whether they have large money transactions. .”

At the same time, Bo Xiao was also investigating Huo An and Pan Yuji.

Pan Yuji, like other Jianghu people in Chuzhou, was pressured by Mu Cangping and had to come to help Tan Zhou and deal with Ming Palace together.

Although we were all in the same boat, there was a difference between these Jianghu casual braves and the Mumen, and Tan Zhou didn't let them know about many things.

How Pan Yuji found Sanjun's residence, and how she happened to appear at the same time as Huo An, is already suspicious.After waking up, Gui Ruotong firmly insisted that Pan Yuji went to the Ming Palace, and helped Huo An to poison himself and kill the members of the Mu family who were stationed in the wooden house.

But these are not enough to convict Pan Yuji.

All the members of the Mu family who died tragically in front of the wooden house were severely wounded to death by iron guns, and none of them could prove that it was Pan Yuji who killed them.

When Wan Ding rushed to the scene, he also witnessed Pan Yuji desperately saving people from Huo An's gun.

"He did it for self-protection, to prevent future revenge from Mumen."

Although Gui Ruotong is awake, the residual poison in her body has not been completely eliminated, there is still a layer of dust on her face, her eyes are slow, but she can't hide her anger at the moment:
"Pan Yuji is too cunning. I saw him sneer at me. When Huo An started killing, he was by the side, but he didn't do anything. He came a long time ago, not as he said to you, but Just arrived."

She didn't say that Jiaolan poisoned her.

After all, Jiaolan was her former sister, and she paid the price.

"But you have no evidence." Wan Ding said.

Wan Ding was the calmest among Luoyang's Eight Talents, except for the boss Han Luojun.

Calmness is often tantamount to indifference.Therefore, he will not unconditionally believe anything Gui Ruotong says just because of his friendship with Gui Ruotong like Bo Xiao.

He talked about evidence and motivation.

"You don't believe me?" Gui Ruotong asked angrily.

"Bo Xiao went to investigate." Wan Ding said flatly, "I believe he will find out the truth."

Gui Ruotong stared at Wan Ding stubbornly, hoping to see his looseness.Wan Ding just looked back at her calmly.

In the end, Gui Ruotong lowered his head first, the sparks of anger in his eyes were replaced by an imperceptible trace of discouragement and disappointment.

"I'll find out myself."

Gui Ruotong lowered his eyes, and his voice was cold, without the previous anger and agitation: "I know you don't believe me, and you are more willing to believe Tan Zhou than me. But Xingyang is your brother. When Xingyang died, Tan Zhou Zhou's crossbowmen are lurking opposite the teahouse, just across the street..."

Gui Ruotong's throat choked, and it was difficult to continue: "It's only one street wide and two feet wide...Xingyang, he told me before that he couldn't understand Tan Zhou..."

The woman who has always been a strong show has flushed eyes, but her expression is extremely firm, her silver teeth are gritted, full of hatred:
"I know, this matter is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface. The assassination of you and Ah Xiao is a cover, and the person he really wants to get rid of is me... A fake is a fake. Just blame it."
