"Ha ha ha ha!"

Li Qingyuan laughed wildly, smiling, and two lines of tears flowed from his eyes.

He was so filled with grief and anger that he never imagined that his mother was actually poisoned to death by arsenic.

The eldest lady was the mastermind. Did the master of the family really not know about it? He didn't believe it.

Even if the head of the family does not participate, it is the default.

His own mother, like a fool, died like this without even a drop of water splashing.

He wiped away his tears, strode to the table, looked at Zi Yan and said, "Young Master Jiang, can you let me use the dagger?"

Zi Yan glanced at Li Qingyuan. She knew what he wanted to do, but she still agreed.

"good."

Li Qingyuan held the handle of the dagger with both hands, pulled out the dagger from the table, turned around and took a few leaps, and stabbed the twitching Nanny Wu on the ground with all her strength.

The dagger penetrated deeply into her chest, and a string of blood foam came out of Nanny Wu's mouth. She rolled her eyelids and there was no movement.

Li Qingyuan's eyes shed tears involuntarily again. He stood up, wiped his tears vigorously, and said to Zi Yan: "Young Master Jiang, how do you want to cooperate? From now on, I will listen to you, and I will only harm anyone who harms my mother.

Let’s all die.”

"Okay, but let me remind you that if you choose to cooperate, you will get on the ship, and if you want to get off the ship, you will betray. When dealing with traitors, we always prefer to kill the wrong one rather than let him go. Are you sure you have thought about it?" Zi

Yan said calmly.

"I've thought about it, my mother was killed by them, the Li family is my enemy, and now I just want them dead." Li Qingyuan said firmly.

"Then I will give you the first task, which is to find out the location of the supplies recently hoarded by the Li family and the Ji family, and the approximate handlers." Zi Yan stood up, put his hands behind his back and said: "

We are affiliated with the imperial court and represent the official side. There will be someone from the official side to help you with this matter."

Zi Yan took two steps, then turned her palm over and took out a cyan jade pendant with many complicated patterns on it.

"Take this jade pendant and wear it. The person with this kind of jade pendant may be one of our own. If you encounter the secret code again, the secret code will change every three days. Su San will notify you temporarily."

"Without this jade pendant, you can't match the code. Even if you are a big shot in the officialdom, you can't believe it." Zi Yan emphasized again.

After explaining everything, Zi Yan raised her hand and said: "Li Qingyuan, you can leave. Su San, you go and take him back to Li Mansion."

"Master Jiang, do you have any other instructions?" Su San asked again cautiously. He had now seen how terrifying Zi Yan was, so much so that when he saw Zi Yan, he always had a feeling of fear in his heart.

.

This feeling of heart palpitations gradually dissipated until he sent Li Qingyuan away from Zuiqingfeng Winery and got into the carriage parked at the door.

After Su San and Li Qingyuan left, Li Dahu ordered people to drag away Grandma Wu's body and clean up the ground.

"Young Master Jiang, are you just going to let Li Qingyuan go? Will he betray us?" Li Dahu asked uneasily.

"No, Li Qingyuan will definitely follow us wholeheartedly. Without the power of the court, he can't take revenge." Zi Yan said lightly.

"Then should we still follow the original arrangement?" Li Dahu asked again.

"Yes, proceed as originally planned."

…

Three days later, Zi Yan was sitting in the study, writing a letter to Yang Ruoqing in the capital, explaining what was happening in Sixiang City, when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Li Dahu stepped in and said with a joyful expression on his face: "Young Master Jiang, we have found all the information on the nearby temples and Taoist temples. There are even small temples and Taoist temples in the nearby mountains. There should be nothing missing."

"Bring it here, let me take a look." Zi Yan spread out the letter paper, put down the brush in his hand, and raised his head.

Li Dahu took the thick piece of information in his hand to the desk and handed it to Zi Yan.

Zi Yan raised her hand and flipped through the table. This information contained more than a hundred pages, and each page contained information about a temple or Taoist temple.

However, this is certainly not all temples and Taoist temples. Those that are too small have been eliminated.

Because Ziyan has given Li Dahu a standard in advance, those that meet the standard will be made into separate materials, and those that are not within the standard will be left alone, so there is no need to rush to get them.

There is indeed a large amount of detailed information about Taoist temples, including addresses, main personnel, specialties, and even the industries under the sect.

People like Li Dahu were very efficient in handling matters. In just three days, they had handled the affairs of the temple properly.

There are all kinds of weird names like Qixing Temple, Babao Temple, Guangdu Temple, etc., and there are even many duplicate names. For example, there are seven or eight Dalin Temples, and they are not from the same family.

Zi Yan read page after page. She had a strong ability to filter out information and extract important information. As long as there was something special in it, she could detect it.

But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. She looked around carefully and didn't see anything special in it.

Zi Yan stood up and frowned slightly.

She found that there was something wrong with her thinking. The so-called concern was chaos. When it came to her biological brother, her plan obviously went awry.

"Li Dahu, what was the reason for the young man who knew the swordsmanship of the Blood Sword Sect that you said last time had a conflict with the Ji family?" She was too busy to ask about this matter last time, and she was just as busy this time.

I forgot.

"He bought rice at the Ji family's grain store. As you know, the Ji family's grain store is short of jins and ounces and sells shoddy goods. Even the measuring instruments used to weigh the rice grains are defective. That's not what the boy did on the spot.

I found out, so we started to quarrel. Later, the young man was surrounded by a group of guards and used the swordsmanship of the Blood Sword Sect. I was there at the time and felt that this was not fair, so I made the decision to let him go. As for compensation,

, I don’t have permission, there’s nothing I can do.”

Li Dahu told everything that happened, without any concealment.

Zi Yan was silent, and she thought about it.

Since that young man was counting money on food, he was probably poor. If he wanted to live a good life, he definitely needed money.

It's too difficult to find someone in such a large area without specific information, and there are so many so-called temples and Taoist temples. You can't just visit them everywhere. That won't work. She doesn't have that many.

time.

Therefore, we should change our thinking.

Yes, let him come out on his own initiative and run out on his own instead of looking for him everywhere.

"Li Dahu, you can continue to look for that boy, but lately you have been focusing on cooperating with Li Qingyuan and settling the affairs of the Li family first."
