Tian Yan walked through the courtyard to the door of Yang Kai's study, and gently opened the door in the corridor.

Yang Kai was not surprised that two beautiful women suddenly appeared in his family.

He was standing in front of the table, but now he put down the bamboo slip in his hand.

"You don't seem surprised!"

Under the guard of Mei Sanniang, Tian Yan walked into Yang Kai's study.

As an official, Yang Kai has [-] mu of land, which is much more generous than ordinary rich people.

However, the decorations displayed in his study did not match his official status.

Simple, quite simple.

The desks are all made of the most common elm wood, and the bamboo slips placed on them are all torn and leaky, and the ropes binding the bamboo slips are all rotten, so the bamboo slips can only be tied up barely.

"The one who should come should have come, but I didn't expect that you were the first one to find me."

Yang Kai sighed and said.

"You know me?" Tian Yan looked at the furnishings in his study and asked with great interest.

"Hall Master Lieshan!"

"Since you know me, you should know why I'm here!" Tian Yan stopped his steps, stood in front of Yang Kai, and said.

The gentle woman smiled gracefully, but Mei Sanniang behind her was full of anger, waving the long scythe in her hand, and asked forcefully.

"Say it!"

"As a general of the empire, I just follow orders. Since you have become the master of the house, why bother to pester you so much?"

"Stop talking nonsense."

Mei Sanniang waved the scythe in her hand, wanting to go up and teach this guy a lesson, but was stopped by Tian Yan.

"I thought that the army that attacked the wedding banquet that night was sent by Prince Qin, but after I searched for clues, I found out that this was not the case." Tian Yan looked at Yang Kai sharply and asked.

"So who is behind the scenes directing?"

Yang Kai smiled, pulled out the long sword from the sword stand, and pointed at Tian Yan.

Mei Sanniang stepped aside and stood in front of Tian Yan, looking at him warily.

"Hall Master Lie Shan, sometimes knowing more doesn't mean it's beneficial. I advise you, let this matter end with Yang!" After finishing speaking, Yang Kai drew his sword and killed him.

Watching Yang Kai fall to the ground.Tian Yan closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, as if regretting.

"Master, did he die like this?"

Mei Sanniang's tone revealed incredible.

"There are many knights in the land of Yanzhao. Yang Kai was originally a general of Yan Kingdom, what a pity!" Tian Yan sighed.

"Master, look."

Mei Sanniang pointed at Yang Kai's body, a foreign object was exposed from his sleeve.

Mei Sanniang brought it in front of Tian Yan, unfolded it, and found it was a brocade handkerchief.

The painting on it is fine, the knitting is delicate, and the embroidered pattern is like a woman's thing.This expensive brocade handkerchief obviously formed a stark contrast with the shabby furnishings in the room, and it was a bit out of place.

Mei Sanniang said strangely: "This Yang Kai is a man anyway, how could he be carrying a woman's thing?"

Tian Yan looked at the brocade handkerchief stained with blood, frowned, and said, "Isn't this a folk thing?"

"Master, what do you mean?" Mei Sanniang practiced martial arts since she was a child, and never cared much about things between women.

"Looking at the material and stitching of this brocade handkerchief, it seems to be from Shaofu." Tian Yan rubbed the brocade handkerchief in his hand and said.

"What does the hall master mean?" Mei Sanniang asked.

"I'm not sure yet, I'm going to ask Xiaolan. Before she was assigned to the eldest son's mansion, she used to be a maidservant in the weaving room. Maybe she knows."

……

"Yes, this is indeed from the weaving room."

Xiaolan looked at the brocade handkerchief Tian Yan handed over, nodded and said. "However, this is just the most common fabric in the weaving room. Basically, the maids in every room have a piece of this personal item on their hands."

"Oh?" Tian Yan raised his brows and said, "Then the owner of this brocade handkerchief should also be a maidservant in the weaving room."

"It should be." Xiaolan said in a deep voice, "but the weaving maidservants have complicated backgrounds. Princesses, concubines and maids of the six countries, and criminal officials' wives and clan daughters are all filled in. If I want to find the owner of this brocade handkerchief, I'm afraid It's not that easy."

Although Tian Yan is the master of Lieshan and is very famous in the world, but he can't do it if he wants to investigate one or two things in the deep palace.

"Master, if we want to continue the investigation, it seems that we can only rely on the strength of the eldest son."

Mei Sanniang said.

"That's right, this is indeed the best choice." Tian Yan murmured, and the words dragged on for a long time.There is a different meaning in the words.

Mei Sanniang and Xiaolan looked at Tian Yan, very strange, why hesitate?I saw her pacing in the room, seeming to be thinking about something.After a long time, she asked, "Where's the news from Yunzhong?"

Mei Sanniang said in a deep voice: "After Prince Qin left the fortress, the Jianghu forces in various places in Yunzhong were very active. Not long ago, the dark spots of other forces in Yunzhong were surrounded by Wei Zhuang's Xuance army. Ours was also implicated, Forced to withdraw from the cloud. However, according to the last news, Prince Qin has not returned with his army."

"Prince Qin left the fortress in midsummer, and it's already the end of autumn. Could it be that there was an accident on the way?" Tian Yan said softly, but his breath was a little hasty.
