Ruyi and Zhaocai walked around the inn, and found that there was a big house next to the inn, and there was a small building in the big house, facing the inn. The two looked at it and felt that if someone stood in the small building, Every move in the inn was watched by everyone.

  The two went back and told Zhou Jia what they had checked, "Master, there is something wrong with this place. I think you should go back to the small courtyard at night."

   "Okay, since someone is watching us, we'll go back to the small courtyard after the reception." Zhou Jia looked at Zhaocai, "Go to the Four Seas Bank and ask, how is it?"

   "It's the master." Zhaocai stepped out of the house and walked to the Four Seas Bank.

  The news that Zhou Jia drove away all the people who were sent to serve by the government office was sent back to a small house next to the Cheng family mansion. After the first prince discussed with Cheng Shan, Cheng Shan left with confidence.

Zhao Cai came out of the post inn, and after walking a few steps, he found someone following him. He accelerated his pace and walked to a crowded place. He walked to the place where the stall was set up in front of him, and walked into a pen and ink shop and stood there. Seeing two lean men in gray clothes and trousers, they hurriedly chased away the crowd.

   Zhaocai came out of the pen and ink shop, got into an alley, turned several alleys one after another, and arrived at Sihai Qianzhuang. The man took Zhaocai to the backyard and met Chu Shan.

   "Treasurer Chu, someone followed me when I came. We'll go back to the small courtyard tonight."

After hearing this, Chu Shan nodded, "Okay, I will arrange the manpower. Ding Yi and Hu Cheng have been gone for half a month, and the dark guards who followed them will have news at the latest tomorrow, and I have already dispatched manpower. I am waiting in Qingyue County, and as soon as there is news, I will notify the adults and mobilize the garrison to enter the mountain."

   Zhaocai bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Treasurer Chu, I'll go back and report to your lord."

  Chu Shan smiled and waved his hand, "You're welcome, Manager Zhou."

Zhaocai came out of the Four Seas Qianzhuang and returned to the post house. Zhou Jia and Ruyi had already gone to the Zuixianlou for a banquet. After seeing Zhaocai, Tie Zhu said, "Brother Cai, the master asked us to wait for him in the backyard of the Zuixianlou. In an hour, he will come out of the banquet and let us follow his car, and the master will change cars at the turn ahead."

   Zhaocai nodded in response, and Tiezhu and Tiezhu drove the carriage to Zuixianlou, only to see Zuixianlou brightly lit and very lively.

Feng Zhifu took the officials of Yuezhou government and the wealthy squires, and welcomed Zhou Jia and his servants into the Zuixianlou. They went to a large and resplendent accordion. After Zhou Jia sat down, Ruyi and a round-faced dark guard stood. behind him.

After three rounds of drinking, Feng Zhifu clapped his hands, the music sounded, and the five stunning dancers entered the Accord lightly and danced lightly. Suddenly, his feet slipped and he fell to the ground. Hyun Ran looked up at Zhou Jia with tears in his eyes, and the charming and moving eyes made people feel pity.

   Zhou Jia looked at her coldly with a glass of wine, and counted silently in her heart to see how long she could last on the ground.

   The dancing girl blushed and got up. After bowing her knees to Zhou Jia, she bowed her knees to all the people present, and danced gracefully without changing her face.

  After the dancer got up from the ground, Cheng Shan and Feng Zhifu looked at each other with wine glasses, conveying an unknown message.

   Half an hour later, the chamberlain got up to apologize to everyone, Zhou Jia also took the opportunity to leave, and everyone diligently kept them for a while, but seeing that they couldn't keep it, Feng Zhifu and the officials had to send Zhou Jia and the chambermaid out.

   Zhou Jia and his servants came out of Zuixianlou, they nodded and got into the carriage respectively.

When Tie Zhu and Zhao Cai got the news, they also followed up with the carriage. They caught up at the turn. Zhou Jia quickly jumped onto the carriage that Zhao Cai was driving. go.

When they arrived at the inn, Ruyi and the round-faced dark guard followed a dark guard who was similar to Zhou Jia into the inn. Just after Hai Shi passed Ruyi and the round-faced dark guard, they got on the beam of the main doorpost. A similar dark guard was in the room, and the lights went out after a while.

  In the dead of night, Ruyi and a secret guard were sitting on the beam and closed their eyes, when they suddenly heard a subtle sound from the roof, the people in the room quickly stood up and listened.

  Anwei made a gesture to Ruyi, indicating that one person was on the roof, and three others entered the courtyard.

  The assassins who entered the courtyard scattered and surrounded the main house.

  The assassin on the roof went to the main room where Zhou Jia was resting, and gently lifted the roof tiles,

   The dark guard disguised as Zhou Jia listened intently to the movement of the roof. As soon as the tile was lifted, the crossbow arrow in his hand smashed into the air and hit the man in front of the door.

At the same time, Ruyi and the round-faced dark guard held small hand crossbows on the beam at the entrance of the main room, and shot at the assassins at the door. With a few muffled noises, the two assassins fell to the ground with arrows, and the other one jumped up the wall and ran. .

  Ruyi and the round-faced dark guard chased after them, and after a few ups and downs, the assassin disappeared.

The assassin who was hit by the crossbow tumbled from the roof and fell into the yard, smashing dust, and then heard a loud shout from the room, "Catch the assassin! There is an assassin attacking the imperial commissioner, catch the assassin." …”

   The dark guard lit the oil lamp, and the light in the yard where the inner servant lived was lit up. The inner servant led someone to Zhou Jia's yard. Ruyi and the round-faced dark guard had already returned to the inn.

  Ruyi said to the chamberlain, "Your Majesty, someone tried to assassinate Lord Zhou, but fortunately, the shopkeeper Chu of the Four Seas Bank invited Lord Zhou to his house."

The servant Wang looked at the assassin whose arrow fell at the door, and the assassin who fell in the yard, took a lantern and took a look, and shouted in a shrill voice, "Come and see, what is hanging on his waist? thing?"

   Ruyi and the round-faced dark guard approached and looked at them, and saw that there was something squirming in the cloth bag, and the raised shape of the cloth bag should be something like a snake or insect.

  Ruyi took the crossbow and punched the snake head, and the contents of the bag stopped wriggling.

The round-faced dark guard untied the rope and poured out a large snake with a golden ring on its body, "This kind of snake is called the Golden Armored Snake, it is highly poisonous, it is afraid of light, and it likes to be active at night, and it takes less than half a bite. You'll be dead in a quarter of an hour."

  Ruyi and the round-faced dark guard searched the bodies of the three assassins, but found nothing.

  The prince scolded in a shrill voice: "It's so daring, even the imperial commissioner dares to assassinate...

The postmaster came hurriedly, and the prince stepped forward and dragged him to the corpse, pointed to the corpse on the ground and the golden-armored snake, and shouted sharply: "The posthouse you manage will have assassins coming to assassinate Zhou. Your Excellency, how did you become a postmaster? Why don't you report to the official soon?"

  Yicheng was so frightened that he didn't say a word. He turned around and ran outside. After half an hour, Wu Hualin arrived with a yacha.
