"The surname of Jiang is in the third gate of the sky, Tongji Bridge in the west of the city, and he brings money to redeem people. He dares to report to the officials and wait for the corpse to be collected." The two lines of words on the note were erratic, revealing hideousness.

The shopkeeper was sad and whispered: "Young Master Jiang, what do you think? If you get an official, my inn will be closed and the guests will not be scared away." As he said that, the shopkeeper was about to kneel down to Jiang Anyi.

Jiang Anyi ignored him and went into the house to check it out. The things in the room were very regular, and dozens of taels of silver in the package were still there. The person who arrested people was not for money or for people. There were three words "subject to Jiang" on the note, which meant that the person the other party was targeting was himself, and Fatty Guo was implicated by himself.

My friend was implicated by me, and Jiang Anyi was so heartbroken that if the robber was in front of me, I really wanted to stab him with a dagger. What I was most worried about was Guo Huaili's safety. If I had a question, I really didn't know how to face it.

Taking a deep breath, reminding himself that the more anxious he is, the more he should calm down. Jiang Anyi looked at the shopkeeper who was following him with a smile and said, "The person is missing in your store. No matter how you say it, you can't escape the legal responsibility..."

"Oh, Mr. Jiang, you have to save me. I have old men and young men. The whole family of nine people relies on this small shop to make a living. If the government knows, my shop will not be able to be opened. Mr. Jiang, you have pity for my family. Don't report to the official."

Before Jiang Anyi could finish his words, the shopkeeper fell to the ground, crying in tears. Jiang Anyi saw him screaming so hard that he was hoarse, his eyes were spinning around and thinking, clearly trying to find sympathy to escape the blame.

Jiang Anyi glanced at the shopkeeper in disgust and said sternly: "It's okay not to report to the official. Please send someone to inquire. Who saw what last night? What is abnormal near your store these two days?"

The waiter remembered and said, "The past two days I found that the 'rooster' was always wandering around the store..."

"Wu A San, what are you talking nonsense? You're going to die." The shopkeeper glared at the goldfish's eyes and shouted loudly at the waiter.

Jiang An came out with loyalty, and the shopkeeper was really disgusting, and he sneered: "It seems that the shopkeeper wants to go to prison and cover up the robbers. Maybe this store is a black store."

"Oh, it's my life. Are you not a big deal?" Seeing Jiang Anyi swaying his sleeves and walking out, the shopkeeper hurried forward and grabbed Jiang Anyi, and smiled respectfully and said, "Master Jiang, please calm down. Am I afraid of causing trouble? Wu A San, tell Master Jiang what you know."

"I saw the 'rooster' on the street with a green-pie old man wandering around the store these past two days, and wondering why the shopkeeper didn't give the money, but they just redirected and didn't enter the store, so they didn't take it to heart." Wu A-san looked at the shopkeeper and said timidly.

"Who is the rooster?"

"It's the rogue on this street who lives by extorting shops. Alas, it's so hard for us to open a shop."

Jiang Anyi interrupted the shopkeeper and said directly: "Hurry and send someone around to ask if anyone saw the 'rooster' last night, and if this 'rooster' has a backstage?"

People from the front door came and went, and it was impossible to rob people. No one noticed that Jiang Anyi came to the corner gate at the back. There was an alley outside the door. There were clearly mixed footprints on the bluestone slabs at the door. Guo Huaili should have robbed them from here. Jiang Anyi followed the footprints out of the alley. There was a street outside, and his traces were lost.

After returning to the courtyard and waiting for a while, the shopkeeper came hurriedly and said, "Master Jiang, someone saw a carriage walking south from the back door of the small shop last night."

"You can see who is driving? Is it the 'rooster'?"

"It's too dark to see people."

"Will the carriage have a sign?"

"It's just an ordinary carriage on the street, no sign."

Jiang Anyi found that the shopkeeper's eyes were turning, and his words flashed. He asked and answered questions one by one. Obviously, he was perfunctory and couldn't ask anything from his mouth. After thinking for a while, Jiang Anyi asked the shopkeeper to call the waiter Wu A San. Seeing Wu A San's look terrified, Jiang Anyi knew that the shopkeeper must have threatened the waiter on the road. Jiang Anyi pointed to the door with his hand and said to the shopkeeper without hesitation: "You go out."

The shopkeeper went out with a blushing face, stood at the door for a moment, and walked forward.

"Brother A San, don't be afraid, sit down." Jiang Anyi changed his smile and asked Wu A San to sit down and talk.

Wu A San shrank back instead and said respectfully: "I don't dare to do anything, just give me instructions."

Jiang Anyi thought for a while, took out five taels of silver from his arms, put it on the table, and said, "Brother San, I have something to ask you. As long as you answer well, I will give you these five taels of silver."

Xiaoer's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "Master Jiang, what you said is true. Just ask, it's not me, Wu A-san, that I know almost all the big and small things about Wenping Mansion."

"Okay." Jiang Anyi thought for a while and decided to ask easily, "Is there a Tongji Bridge in the west of this city?"

"Yes, go out of the Xicheng Gate, walk two miles along the official road, turn left, and there is Tongji River not far away. There is a stone bridge on the river, which is Tongji Bridge."

The robbers set the time at the third day of the day. At that time, the city gate was closed, so Guo Huaili was probably hiding not far from Tongji Bridge. Jiang Anyi asked: "Can there be a village and a place to live next to Tongji Bridge?"

"Yes, there is a village beside Tongji Bridge, which is Mr. Guo's farm. The fields there are all from Mr. Guo's family, and the people who see the village are also Mr. Guo's family servants."

"Mr. Guo?"

"You won't even know Guo Jingshan of Wenping Mansion. This man is a rich man. He has at least twenty shops in Wenping Mansion. There are thousands of fields outside the city. The officials in the mansion are regular customers. I heard that there are business deals everywhere and shops in the capital. I know that there are many noble officials and nobles." Wu Asan said that Guo Jingshan became so beautiful, looking proud, and talked endlessly about the legend he heard.

Guo Jingshan and Jiang Anyi's heart moved. It seemed that he had heard of this name somewhere. He was shocked and remembered that the name appeared on the silk scarf inside the silver medal. Jiang Anyi clearly remembered that the six words "Guo Jingshan, Wenping Mansion" were on the upper side of the scarf. At that time, he was still wondering if he was a relative of Guo Fatty's family. Later, he pushed and stumbled and slapped, and then he felt relieved.

Could it be that the matter of killing Qi Kaishan was leaked? The Yuantian Sect came to seek revenge on himself. The more Jiang Anyi thought about it, the more afraid he became. If he was infected with this monster, he would have to peel off even if he didn't die.

Seeing that Jiang Anyi was a little dazed, Wu Asan stopped talking dumbly.

Jiang Anyi came to his senses and asked again: "What does the 'rooster' look like? Whose subordinate is he? What does it have to do with Mr. Guo?"

"The 'rooster' is big and thick, and he always stretches his neck when speaking, so everyone calls him 'rooster'. I don't know who he is." Wu A San thought with great effort, "It seems that once I heard Qingpi mention the 'Hei Master' by his subordinate. What is the 'rooster'? He also wants to make friends with Mr. Guo, one in the world and the other in the mud, which is too far away."

Jiang Anyi asked a few more details, then threw the money to Wu A San, who left with great gratitude.

After sitting in the house for a long time, Jiang Anyi became more and more uneasy. If it was really the Yuantian Sect, Guo Huaili's life would be difficult to save. Jiang Anyi could no longer sit still. He went out, took the charcoal, came to the weapons shop, chose a sharp knife, and went to the ready-made clothing shop to buy a black outfit, put it in his bag, and then rode out of the west city on a horse.

Following the direction of Wu Asan's guidance, Jiang Anyi saw Tongji Bridge. There was a farm not far from Tongji Bridge. It was very lively and Jiang Anyi dared not get close. At noon, Jiang Anyi saw light yellow wine tricks under the big tree not far ahead, and rode over on a horse.

Hearing the sound, the waiter greeted him, tied the charcoal to the bamboo pole outside the store, and enthusiastically greeted Jiang Anyi to sit in it. There was only a table of guests in the store, and the waiter asked Jiang Anyi diligently what to eat? Jiang Anyi was not interested in eating. He ordered two dishes casually, thinking about how to inquire about the news from the waiter.

I heard the guest at the next table say, "I just passed by the farm and saw that the farm was transporting grain out, one truck after another, loading thirty or forty trucks. I heard that I would sell it to the west."

The waiter came over with the vegetables and continued, "What are those grains? This radius of 100 miles is all the land of Mr. Guo. His family has several stocks of granaries alone."

Jiang Anyi had an idea, hurriedly had a meal, rode his horse across Tongji Bridge, and there was a village in front of him. Jiang Anyi helped take away the coarse cloth clothes drying in the yard of the house at the entrance of the village, and stuffed the clothes on his body into the sacking bag. He wanted to tie them to the bamboo pole, but he was afraid that something would happen, so he simply took out a string of copper coins from his arms to tie them. Next to the village was a forest, and placed the charcoal deep in the forest, and tied the bag to the charcoal.

He patted the charcoal and let it eat grass by itself. Jiang Anyi rolled on the ground. When he passed the farmland, he picked up some mud and smeared it on his face and clothes. He realized that he was almost the same as the image of a farmer. When he arrived at the farm, he was rushing out the bus, and it was a mess. Jiang Anyi lowered his head and slipped into the village while the person was not paying attention.

Jiang Anyi chose a place with few people and wanted to run into someone to ask about the situation. There was a small courtyard in front of him, deep in the bamboo forest. When he came to the outside of the door, he listened with his ears. There was no voice in his mouth.

Pushing away the empty courtyard, a unique fragrance of sandalwood came to the nose, and it was Xiangtang. Just as Jiang Anyi was about to leave, the sound of horse hooves sounded outside the door and was running to Xiangtang. There were three rooms in the courtyard, and the ear rooms on both sides were locked. Jiang Anyi rushed into the Xiangtang and swept around. The middle was Laojun, and there was nowhere to hide on both sides.

The carriage was parked outside the door, the courtyard door was pushed open, and footsteps sounded. Jiang Anyi was anxious and rushed up to the altar and hid behind Laojun's statue.

"This fat man is so heavy, so tired that I'm sweating all over." The voice of his speech went from far to near, and with a "bang", something was thrown on the ground. Jiang Anyi leaned over and looked around, and was twisting at the two big men in front of the incense table.

"Hei Ye told us to deal with this fat man and bury him behind the incense hall. Hurry up, don't make Hei Ye angry." The man spoke with his neck stretched out, looking very struggling.

"Rock", Jiang Anyi was delighted. It seemed that Guo Huaili was in the sack. Fortunately, he came early. If he had really changed people to the third day, Fatty Guo would have died long ago.

"This is broad daylight, don't let people see it. Wait until it's dark. I've been busy all night last night, so I'll have to eat something to take a nap. At the third day of the day, the other man was carrying a bag in one hand and took out a few oil paper bags from the bag while talking. He opened it, roast chicken, braised pork, and seven or eight steamed buns.

The two sat cross-legged, and the rooster teared off a chicken leg and said while eating: "Hei Ye said, if the man surnamed Jiang really brought the silver to us in the evening, he would be the same. Qingpi, if you have Qian, please go to Zuihualou Lele. Damn, if you do this, it would be great if you have a pot of wine."

"I'll go and see if I can come back with the pot of wine. Eat less and wait for me." Qingpi stood up and left the yard.

The only rooster was left in Xiangtang. Good opportunity, Jiang Anyi raised his leg and Laojun seemed to fly out and hit the rooster heavily. Before the rooster could react, a cold light flashed, the rooster screamed, and the chest was pierced by a sharp knife.

Fortunately, when the two of them were eating, they thought the sack was wrong and placed it far away. Jiang Anyi stepped forward and untied the sack. It was Guo Huaili inside. Fatty Guo had a rag in his mouth. When he saw Jiang Anyi, he saw tears in his eyes.

Jiang Anyi hurriedly took off the rag, reached out to open the rope for Guo Huai, and helped him move his blood. It took him a long time before Guo Huaili stood up under Jiang Anyi's help.

"Go away quickly." Jiang Anyi shouted in a low voice, pulling Guo Huaili out. As soon as the gate of the courtyard opened, a voice came: "Master Hei, please."
