Zhao Teng entered Shangjun's Villa anxiously. As he walked, he looked around, always feeling that there were traps everywhere in Shangjun's Villa.

"Master Zhao, please come this way." A craftsman came over with a smile and led Zhao Teng towards a room.

Zhao Teng thought to himself: "This servant leads the way. Doesn't he also want money?"

Fortunately, the craftsman made an announcement and retreated. Immediately afterwards, Li Shui walked out with a smile and welcomed Zhao Teng into the house.

In the house, a banquet has been set up. In addition to the fairy wine, there are also steamed buns. Not only steamed buns, but also steamed buns. This standard is high enough.

Li Shui raised the wine glass and said, "Come, let's drink this cup together."

Zhao Teng also raised the wine glass. But when the wine glass was brought to his lips, he was slightly startled: "Wait, is this wine paid for? After a while, the banquet is over, and what should I do if the craftsman stops me and asks for money?"

The more Zhao Teng thought about it, the more likely it became, so he put down the wine glass again.

Li Shui saw that he had not drunk any wine, so he couldn't help but admire him secretly: "This Zhao Teng is really selfless."

It was too uncomfortable to have fine wine and delicious food in front of him, but he couldn't eat it. So Zhao Teng decided to make a quick decision and finish the matter first.

Zhao Teng said to Li Shui: "Master Huai, I am here to ask some questions about Ma Lingshu. Who do you think has a grudge against Ma Lingshu? Who is most likely to kill him?"

Li Shui frowned and thought for a while, then said: "If we have a deep grudge against him, I have the biggest enmity with him. If we say who is most likely to kill him, it seems to be me. After all, he lost his life to me.

"

Zhao Teng was a little helpless, he laughed and said: "I believe that this matter was definitely not done by Master Huai. If Master Huai is really the murderer, how can Wu Yue be allowed to impeach me and arrest the real murderer within a time limit?"

Li Shui said: "Perhaps I shouted "Catch the thief" to deliberately interfere with Mr. Zhao's sight?"

Zhao Teng was a little speechless. Is this Huaiguzi deliberately causing trouble?

Fortunately, Li Shui added: "Aside from me, who is the biggest suspect, there is another person who is a big suspect."

Zhao Teng immediately asked: "Who is it?"

Li Shui said: "Ma Lingshu is the mastermind behind the scenes. You must know that the people who interact with me at Huaiguzi are all big shots like Wang, Chun Yuyue, and Li Xin. Who is he, Ma Lingshua? How dare he be so aggressive?

Are you betting your life with me? Someone is clearly instigating him behind his back."

"After Ma Lingshu was arrested, the man behind him must have been restless. In order to prevent Ma Lingshu from confessing and implicating himself, he sent someone to kill him."

Zhao Teng nodded in agreement and asked, "Then who is the person behind Ma Lingshu?"

Li Shui said: "I heard that his old master was the Wang family. I heard that he has been very close to Zhao Gao recently. As for who he is specifically, you can do your own research."

Zhao Teng nodded and asked again: "Lord Huai, do you think the person who killed Ma Lingshu was either the Wang family or the Zhao family?"

Li Shui waved his hand and said, "It's not all like that. There are still some people who are also suspected."

Later, Li Shui took out a pile of bamboo slices, looked at them, and said: "Master Wang Bawang, Master Qian Miqian, Master Liu Mang, Liu Mang, etc., etc., these people are all suspects."

Later, Li Shui handed the pile of bamboo pieces to Zhao Teng.

Zhao Teng looked at it for a while, and suddenly he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He still had the impression that these people were all those who had followed the trend and hacked Huaiguzi in the Shiroda case.

Afterwards, these people neither gave gifts nor apologized. It seemed that they were jealous of Huaiguzi.

Li Shui added next to him: "These people have backers. Maybe they did it, or maybe they were instigated by the backers behind them. Mr. Zhao must find out."

"By the way, guard of the south gate of Xianyang City, last time Wang Ben led someone to kill me, but this person refused to rescue me, so he is very suspicious."

Zhao Teng said helplessly: "Master Huai, you are taking this opportunity to take revenge."

Li Shui stood up, his face flushed, and said: "Mr. Zhao, how can you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air? Assisting in the investigation...in the investigation, can that be considered an opportunity to retaliate?"

Zhao Teng fiddled with the pile of bamboo pieces: "Master Huai, anyone who has a problem with you will be suspected? What kind of truth is this?"

Li Shui said: "There are two reasons. First, these people have enmity against me, and they are most likely to instigate Ma Lingshu to harm me. Second, these people have enmity against me, so killing Ma Lingshu can be blamed on

Me, ruin my reputation and make people think that I, Huai Guzi, am an insidious person."

Zhao Teng looked at Li Shui thoughtfully and thought, "Do you have any misunderstanding about your reputation?"

But no matter what, I finally got some news from Li Shui. Zhao Teng was very confident that he would be able to figure it out after going back and sorting it out.

Seeing Zhao Teng put away the bamboo pieces, Li Shui invited him again and said: "A few days ago, Ma Lingshu was imprisoned in my house. Two groups of assassins came to kill him. These two groups may be with the outside of the female village.

The assassins are related."

When Zhao Teng heard this, he immediately became energetic and thought: "This is what I need. Why are you giving me a bunch of bamboo pieces?"

Li Shui took Zhao Teng to the small courtyard where Ma Lingshua was imprisoned.

As soon as he approached the small courtyard, Zhao Teng saw two scarecrows standing at the entrance of the courtyard, neatly dressed in clothes. There were seven or eight crossbow arrows inserted into the scarecrows.

Zhao Teng asked curiously: "What is this?"

Li Shui said: "This is the scarecrow who guarded Ma Lingshu that day. He was shot down by the assassin with a crossbow."

Zhao Teng was a little confused when he heard this: "Is this Huaiguzi sick? Are you using a scarecrow to stand guard? This assassin is also weird. There are two scarecrows. Why did you shoot them with arrows?"

Zhao Teng shook his head, always feeling a little confused. Since entering Shangjun Courtyard, a series of incredible things happened. Zhao Teng was a little suspicious that he was trapped in a dream.

He sighed, casually pulled out a crossbow arrow, looked at it and said, "This arrow is very delicate. If we use this as a clue to investigate, we should be able to find out something."

Li Shui nodded happily and invited him into the small courtyard again.

After the battle that day, the small courtyard remained in its original state, and even the corpses on the ground remained untouched.

Zhao Teng bravely walked in and took a look. He picked up a broken crossbow from the ground, frowned and said: "This crossbow is more refined than those used in the army. Who are these people?"

Man? Could it be that he is a rebel?"

As soon as he heard the word "rebel", Li Shui immediately became excited and said: "Master Zhao is very insightful. Anyone who wants to harm me must be a rebel."

Zhao Teng laughed and looked at the corpses on the ground again. Finally, he came to a conclusion: "These two groups of people don't know each other. That's why they kill each other here. Judging from this, there may be two forces trying to kill each other.

Kill Ma Lingshu."

"There is nothing on these people that can prove their identity. Shangjun Courtyard is outside Xianyang City, and assassins can come from any direction, so it is difficult to find out their origin."

Finally, Zhao Teng ordered people to carry the body away and go back for a closer inspection.

When leaving the small courtyard, Zhao Teng glanced at the large pit in the courtyard and at the sharpened bamboo on the ground. He imagined the suffering the assassin suffered after entering the small courtyard and couldn't help but shudder.

The matters at Shangjun Courtyard have been finished. Zhao Teng said goodbye and wanted to leave.

Li Shui took out another piece of white cloth, wrapped a few buns, and gave them to Zhao Teng.

Zhao Teng refused, looking cool and selfless.

It wasn't until Li Shui made it clear that this was a gift that Zhao Teng carried it in his arms.

Li Shui enthusiastically sent Zhao Teng off to Shangjun Courtyard. As soon as he walked out, Li Shui shouted: "I made friends today..."

Before the three words "Master Zhao" could be said, Zhao Teng shouted sharply: "Huai Guzi, you can hide it from everyone in the world, but you can't hide it from me. You killed Ma Lingshu, the thief shouted "Catch the thief", and deliberately interfered with my sight.

Don’t I know?”

Afterwards, Zhao Teng got on the carriage and ran away quickly.

Li Shui scratched his head: "This guy is very alert. However, last time he was at odds with me, but this time he was not so angry. It seems that I still have some charm in my personality. We just talked for a while,

He has been influenced a lot by me. If you keep up your efforts, I estimate that in a few days, this person will become my best friend."

Zhao Teng, who was in the carriage, also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "It's such a close call. Fortunately, I kept tightening my grip and refused to relax, otherwise I would have been plotted by this shameless man."

Zhao Teng took out the steamed bun in his arms, took a bite, and immediately nodded with satisfaction, and then thought: "Except for the one hundred thousand dollars that I paid when I entered, Huaiguzi has never asked for any more money. This person...

It’s not that it’s hopelessly bad.”

After Zhao Teng returned to the mansion, he immediately divided his men into three waves.

The first wave is to investigate the origin of the crossbow. Not many people can make such a skillful crossbow. Once there are clues, they can be quickly targeted.

Where are the assassins who searched Xianyang City in the second wave? After the assassin killed Ma Lingshu that day, the gates of Xianyang City were immediately closed. So the assassin must still be in the city. And many people saw the assassin that day. As long as they search slowly

, we can definitely find him.

The third wave is those corpses. These assassins are either from Xianyang City or from nearby Xianyang. They go door to door to see who has suddenly disappeared. It is not difficult to determine the identities of these people.

As long as you know who they are, and then investigate who they often associate with, and want to find out the mastermind behind it, it will be a matter of time.

Zhao Teng sent everyone out. After thinking about it, he called a confidant, took out the pile of bamboo slices in his arms, and said, "Check these people secretly, but don't alert others."

The confidant responded and left in a hurry.

For a time, the atmosphere in Xianyang City suddenly became tense. Some people were not thieves, but they were a little panicked. Some people were thieves, but they pretended not to panic.
