C7 Knock on the Mountain and Shake the Tiger

Dongfang Zhongyu quickly said, "Thunderhead, you don't know, actually, I was..." As the words reached the tip of his tongue, he realized that it was inappropriate, so he changed the topic: "To be honest, my master Baili Qingcang knows everything, I …" I can't do it. "

"Young Master Dongfang is modest," Lei Mingsheng heard the conversation between him and Zhu Xinmei and already confirmed that he had super powers, "We more than 100 people are counting on Young Master Dongfang, if you don't help us, we will all die!" As he spoke, he bowed deeply, and the constables behind him followed suit.

"This …?" Dongfang Jingyue was slightly tempted, because investigating a case could test a person's judgement. He wanted to give it a try, but after thinking for a moment, he said: "Okay, I'll take a look for Thunderhead, but I have to ask Master Baili first …"

"No need to ask, just decide for yourself." Baili Qingcang walked down the stairs, "You cops have been making trouble here for a long time now. If you don't listen to my advice, then go and die! Hurry, hurry, hurry. Don't disturb my rest. " Lei Mingsheng was very happy to be scolded, so he told all the constables to disperse quickly while he and Dongfang Zhongyue headed towards the Duke of Cao's Mansion.

Dongfang Zhongyue didn't have any confidence in himself, so he said on the way: "Thunderhead, I can only do my best, whether it succeeds or not is not certain." At this moment, Lei Mingsheng was treating him as a lifesaver. He repeatedly said that it was impossible! With such a big name like the Divine Arm Workshop, even the Pavilion of Ascending Mist had been covered up. Young Master Dongfang was sure that he had succeeded. Dongfang Zhongyu was anxious, but he didn't say anything …

Upon entering the Duke of Cao's Mansion, Li Jinglong was not surprised to see the Eastern Zhong Yue, because all the officers of the Ying Tian Mansion had long since gone to kneel down and beg the Divine Machinery Workshop, which had already spread throughout the city. The Iron Vouchers had already been lost for half a month. Li Jinglong was also very anxious, so he immediately brought Dongfang Zhongyue and Lei Mingsheng into the study.

Dongfang Zhongyu did not have a good impression of Li Jinglong, he was too lazy to greet him, and asked directly: "General Li, what is the use of that Iron Vouchers?" Usefulness... "Of course there is," Li Jinglong didn't seem to be willing to say, "It's just useful to me, but useless to others." "What kind of use is that?" Dongfang Zhongzhong asked.

Li Jinglong frowned and asked back, "Why do you have to ask this question?" Only when one knows the use of Iron Vouchers can one guess who is interested in it! " Dongfang Zhongyue said, "It doesn't matter if General Li is unwilling or not." As he spoke, he stood up, meaning that it was clear that he didn't need to investigate as long as he didn't say anything.

"All right, I said." Li Jinglong compromised helplessly, "To me, Iron Vouchers is extremely useful. It also has a name," Immunity ", and with it, even the emperor can't cut off my head!"

"Oh …" The situation was just as Dongfang Zhongyue had guessed, he thought for a while and asked: "Is the Iron Vouchers lost because someone tried to kill you?"

"Impossible!" This sentence seemed to have touched Li Jinglong's sore spot. His mouth twitched twice as he said loudly, "I have done a great service to the imperial government. Why would anyone want to kill me?"

"Where's the enemy?" Dongfang Zhongyue asked: "General Li, you must have a lot of enemies in your life, right?" "No!" The corner of Li Jinglong's mouth twitched once again, "I, Li, have always been a loyal person. I have never had any enemies."

"It's best if General Li doesn't have any enemies." Dongfang Zhongyu sneered in his heart, since Li Jinglong didn't want to ask him about some things, he would ask him where the Iron Vouchers was before it was lost, who could approach the Iron Vouchers, what abnormal circumstances did it have before and after it was lost?

What was even more unexpected was that such an important Iron Vouchers had been placed in this study before it was lost. It was placed on a rosewood table beneath the north wall. What was even more surprising was that Li Jinglong was a military official. He didn't come to this study room for ten days to half a month, and this study room was neither locked nor specially taken care of.

Dongfang Zhongyue didn't speak for a long time, and then he asked: "General Li, do you mean that you aren't even sure when Iron Vouchers will be lost?" With an awkward expression, Li Jinglong replied, "Something like that." Lei Mingsheng asked worriedly, "Young Master Dongfang, is there any way?"

"According to what General Li said, everyone in the mansion is suspected of being involved. How do we investigate?" Dongfang saw the worry on Li Jinglong's and Lei Mingsheng's face, thought for a while and said: "Right now, we can only use the reputation of the Immortal Machine Workshop. General Li, don't tell others why we're here for the time being. Thunderhead, let's go make some preparations … "

When the two of them left the Li Residence, Lei Mingsheng asked in bewilderment, "Young Master Dongfang, what are we preparing?" Of course it's to prepare people, "the Eastern Zhong Yue said:" The Iron Vouchers must have a spy. I know that your officers have a lot of helpers and free labor, so you should find more people to surround the Duke of Cao's Mansion and keep an eye on everyone who goes out. "

Lei Mingsheng was a little doubtful, "Young Master Dongfang, the master and servants of the house of the Duke of Cao are in the hundreds, do we need to keep an eye on every one of them?" It's not that everyone is watching, it's that you prepare your men and then we can come in before dark. I used words to frighten people, and those who have a guilty conscience must go out. " Dongfang Zhongyue said: "Just tell your people to keep an eye on those who leave the house after dark." Only then did Lei Mingsheng come to a realization, and he hurriedly went to gather his men.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and empty, he strolled over to a small restaurant diagonally opposite the residence of the Duke of Cao and ordered two dishes, a catty of dumplings, and a pot of wine for himself to drink. The restaurant was not big. Other than him, there were two other street vendors. They were talking in dialect while eating. The more Dongfang Zhong understood, the more he looked out the window.

It was just getting dark and there were people walking on the street. Four huge wind lanterns were lit in front of the Duke of Cao's mansion, lighting up the area. Dongfang Zhong looked around for a while and suddenly felt suspicious. The two of them were in casual clothes, both in their late twenties, and their gait showed that they were skilled in martial arts. It was common for people to have martial arts training and guards in the capital, but these two people were not just walking, they were patrolling back and forth.

"Something wrong …?" Dongfang Zhongyue was puzzled: "If it was Duke Cao's guard, wouldn't he be patrolling this side of the street?" If it wasn't Li Jinglong's people, what would they be doing here? Surveillance Li Jinglong? Dongfang Zhongyu was shocked by his own guess. Stealing Iron Vouchers, sending people to monitor them, this was the tempo of killing Li Jinglong …

Dongfang Zhong was getting more and more interested, but he kept staring at the two of them while drinking and eating. After about three-quarters of an hour, another two men came from the west. They whispered to the other two for a while, and then the other two left. Seeing that the two of them did not enter the residence of the Duke of Cao, the Eastern Central Region was even more certain of their thoughts.

The two people who were under watch of the shift walked back and forth on the street. Suddenly, they entered the restaurant as well. One of them ordered some food, while the other looked towards the east. The moment their eyes met, they would immediately turn away. Dongfang Zhongyue thought to himself: I've also been noticed entering and exiting the Duke of Cao's estate. This was strange, who would want to deal with Li Jinglong?

Dongfang Zhongyue pretended that nothing was wrong, ate and drank, then walked out of the restaurant. Just as he was worrying about how to contact Lei Mingsheng, he saw him walk over with a few people. Dongfang Zhongyue saw that the people in the restaurant didn't follow him out, so he gestured to Lei Mingsheng and told them to hide in the alleyway. At this time, one of the two men came out, and Dongfang Zhongyu pretended not to see them walking down the street.

Those people were probably just paying attention to those who were entering or exiting the residence of the State of Cao. Seeing that the person had returned to the restaurant after Zhong Yu left, Dongfang Zhongyu took the opportunity to turn into an alley. When Lei Mingsheng saw him enter, he asked anxiously, "Young Master Dongfang, what happened?"

Dongfang Zhongyu replied: "There's a small restaurant fifty steps to the east. There are two men around the age of thirty in that restaurant. You get people to keep an eye on them and find out who they are." Lei Mingsheng didn't ask any further and immediately instructed the two people beside him. When Zhong Yue from the East realized that he had already arranged for manpower around the Li Residence, he went around it with him and entered the residence of the Duke of Cao through the Western Corner Gate.

Dongfang Zhong got Li Jinglong to gather everyone in the mansion in one place. Good guys filled up the entire second floor. There were at least three hundred people. Dongfang Zhongyu walked to the front of the crowd and said in a clear voice: "Do you know who I am... Heh heh, everyone heard that there was a Divine Arm Workshop at the Confucius Temple, right? I am the Middle Eastern Healing of the Divine Arm Workshop. " Although it had only been a few days, the name Shen Ji Workshop was extremely famous. Hundreds of people were discussing among themselves.

The people discussed for a while before he continued, "Everyone knows that something was lost in the mansion. General Li invited me here to find the thief. Which one of you has done the wrong thing to Cao Guoguo, hehe...

I know that. General Li told me that everyone in the mansion had been with him for many years, and that he could not bear to seize the opportunity to send the official away. He wanted to give this person a chance. So, it's best if someone tells you by tomorrow morning. If not, you know the consequences yourself. Alright, go back and think it over! "

As the crowd dispersed, Li Jinglong and Lei Mingsheng were very worried. They asked one after the other, "Young Master Dongfang, are just a few sentences of yours enough?" Let's just watch and see! " Dongfang Zhongyu was also unsure, "As long as there is a spy in the mansion, they should be able to react. It's impossible that there shouldn't be one."

After that, Dongfang Zhongyue and Lei Mingsheng left the Mansion of State Cao and found a secluded place to wait for news. There was no news from them, but the scouts reported that the two were very alert and didn't look like normal people. One of their brothers was beaten until his face was covered in blood.

Lei Mingsheng knew that his men were all hoodlums and hoodlums, but they were usually all useless. He couldn't help but laugh and scold: "You guys are so stupid! Won't he be keeping a close eye on us? Do you have to be sent to your door to get beaten up? " The person left in embarrassment.

"Until almost midnight, Lei Mingsheng could no longer sit still and muttered," Young Master Dongfang, there should be movement by now, right? " Could it be that there were no spies? "That's impossible!" The more he thought about it, the more Dongfang Zhong said, "Let's go out for a walk."

The two of them hid behind the Duke of Cao's Mansion. Their eyesight was extremely good in the east. There were people crouching behind the trees and at the corners of the walls. They should be Lei Mingsheng's subordinates. The two of them followed a long alley behind the Li Residence and listened attentively to the sounds coming from the wall. Halfway through, he suddenly heard a faint sound from within the wall, followed by a black shadow flying out like a large bird-- flying rather than jumping out. The black shadow jumped over the top of the wall and landed on the ground without even a sound.

Dongfang Zhongyue tugged Lei Mingsheng, and the two of them quickly squatted in the shadow of the wall. "That black shadow looked back and forth before heading east. Its movement technique was fast, silent, and light." So powerful! It seems like I'm the only one who can do it! " Lei Mingsheng immediately stood up and chased after him through the shadow of the wall.

After about a hundred steps, the shadow in front was getting further and further away. Lei Mingsheng muttered to himself, "Bastard, this grandson's Qing Gong is so good!" Suddenly, someone lightly patted his shoulder, "Thunderhead, let me go! Go back and keep an eye on him. " Lei Mingsheng didn't even hear the sound of his footsteps. He didn't expect that Dongfang Zhongyue would follow by his side. Shocked, he quickly shook his head as he looked at Dongfang Zhongyue's back …

Zhong Yue from the east was afraid of alerting the snake by hitting it on the grass, so he fell far behind. The dark figure sprinted eastward across the ridge of the house, past the top of the main street and then south around the Imperial City and into the east side of the street. From beginning to end, Zhong Yue had been closely following them. He saw that the black shadow had entered into a wooden building.

The wooden building had three levels of overhanging eaves and was tall and imposing. A string of lanterns hung in front of the building, and three big words were written on the lanterns: "Returning Wind to the Tower".
