Looking at the questioning eyes of Gu Shiwei and Han Shiyan.

Wang Xi panicked for a moment, and shook his head hastily, "That shop is my wife's private property, and the shopkeeper is a son of my Wang family. I would never do anything to hide letters privately."

"Moreover," Wang Xi glanced at the other garden with some trepidation, "Do you know why there is a mirror at the entrance of Mingjing Alley?"

Gu Shiwei had an ominous premonition in his heart. It felt like someone wearing golden armor fell from the sky during a Beggar Clan meeting!
That golden armor, as bright as a mirror, illuminated the beggar's poverty so clearly for the first time!
As expected, Wang Xi touched his chin and said, "Madam was afraid that I would get too carried away, so she set up a whole street opposite Furong Lane and set up a bronze mirror to remind me to dress appropriately..."

Gu Shiwei secretly glanced at Han Shiyan, who was standing aside, and saw that his expression was indifferent, as if it was nothing unusual to walk on a random street, and he quickly lowered his head.

Jealousy turned me beyond recognition, and I couldn't control my hand and wanted to draw the sword!

"You want to say that the whole street is Wang Yushi's eyes and ears, and there is no chance that the shopkeeper will betray you!"

Wang Xi heard this and nodded towards Gu Shinwei.

"That's right, the contract, my virtues and talents, and my wife's money will definitely not be lost with these three hitches..."

As Wang Xi was talking, he suddenly froze, and opened his eyes suddenly as if he remembered something!
Gu Shiwei and Han Shiyan looked at each other, and both looked at him questioningly.

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Wang Xi's forehead. He felt a chill down his back. After a while, he said, "The shopkeeper's name is Wang Quan. He is the younger brother of the housekeeper. He looks after the pen and ink shop for me." For many years.”

"He has a steady temperament, doesn't drink alcohol on weekdays, and has never made any mistakes in his work. However, he has some headaches since he got older. He fainted once in the autumn of last year. My wife has made all arrangements, and we will wait for the New Year's Eve shop to be settled. After settling the account, I gave him a sum of money to support him at home."

"Unexpectedly, on the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, when he came back at night and passed by the Yong'an River, he accidentally got a headache and fell into the river and drowned."

Wang Xi's expression became completely serious.

Gu Shenwei frowned slightly, "Even if a man does the investigation, he can only find out that he died of drowning. How do you know that you have a head disease? But someone saw it?"

Wang Xi nodded and couldn't help but look at Gu Shiwei a little higher, "There is a Yong'an Bridge on the Yong'an River. There happened to be two people walking at night on the bridge with lanterns. At that time, they saw with their own eyes that Wang Quan was walking well. Suddenly he fell into the river with no one else around him."

"After the incident, the man among the two men immediately went into the water and fished the person out. At that time, Wang Quan was in the water without struggling or calling out. He should have lost consciousness before falling into the water."

Wang Xi said, he was very worried. He sighed and shook his head with some regret.

"Because he had suffered from dizziness and fainting before, and the witnesses said so, we didn't think about it elsewhere."

"Now that you tell me, I'm afraid Wang Quan's death was not an accident. Someone killed him and took away from him the letter about the hiding place of Li Zhenxian's stolen money that I didn't receive."

Gu Shiwei listened thoughtfully.

Things are very contradictory here.

It is certain that there is someone behind Li Zhenxian. As a Kyoto official, he has no need and cannot swallow so much ordnance.

Someone was protecting him and didn't want him to be found out by the Yushitai.

But this person did not completely protect him. At least he did not hand over the letter to Li Zhenxian. Otherwise, if Li Zhenxian eliminated them one by one, he would be able to find Chen Shenji around him.

Even if Chen Shenji hadn't been discovered, Master Zhilin, who told him how to hide the gold, and Chen Chao, the craftsman who made the lantern, would definitely be suspected.However, Li Zhenxian trusted both of them until his death and did not find another place to hide the gold, which shows that he knew nothing about it.

This is why?

Gu Shiwei didn't want to become fat in one breath, so he investigated the weapon-severing case thoroughly in one night.

But with such a complicated case, how many people like Chen Shenji and Wang Quan need to be sacrificed to solve the mystery?

The air suddenly became quiet. The three of them were all thinking their own thoughts and were speechless for a moment.

In the end, it was Wang Xi who spoke first, "Everything I say is true, and I have absolutely no intention of hiding it. This colleague from the Imperial City Department doesn't understand my temper, but you, Han Shiyan, do."

"Old Wang, I have some flaws in my womanizing, but I am strong-willed."

He said, patting his chest, "If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself. I have indeed never received that letter."

"And until now, I'm still confused and don't know what happened!"

When Han Shiyan heard this, he turned to look at Gu Shiwei, wanting to explain something to Wang Xi.

But when he turned his head like this, he almost burst out of anger. He saw that there was nothing under the big tree where Gu Shiwei was before, not to mention a human figure or a ghost.

He thought about the horse tied at the door, and without any time to explain, he rushed towards the door.

Wang Xi didn't know why, he hesitated for a moment and then chased after him.

Han Shiyan took the lead, running so hard that his heart was beating as if it was about to burst out of his mouth. When he took a look at the golden door frame, his eyes darkened.

I saw Gu Shinwei climbing over the roof and climbing over the walls. Her mediocre maroon horse was now running wildly alongside her on the ground with its butt twisted.

He swore that this was the first time he saw a sneaky temperament on a horse!
"Gu Shiwei!"

Han Shiyan almost broke his teeth!I wonder just now that he felt that judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart was an injustice to Gu Shiwei!

Now it seems that he clearly has a sharp eye and can see through this despicable villain who is crossing the river and destroying the bridge at a glance!
She basically coaxed him to come to see Wang Xi, and then she had no intention of telling him the information she had from the beginning!

"Despicable and shameless!"

After hearing this, Wang Xi held his heart and panted and stuck out his head. He put his hands on his hips and looked at Han Shiyan, "Could it be that your head has been changed? You can be Zhang Chunting's subordinate. Who is not a despicable, shameless, insidious and cunning villain?" !”

"Isn't it heartless to be eaten up and wiped clean by someone now?"

Han Shiyan's face darkened even more when he heard these nonsense words. He flicked his sleeves and got on his horse, "Are these the only things left in your mind?"

……

Gu Shiwei didn't care about the stormy waves behind her. She kept running non-stop. She found a restaurant to tie up her horse, and then drove around the city a few times to make sure that no one was following her. Then she entered Navazi Street as Chen Shenji said. The third one from the right.
