In front of Zhou Rou's grave, paper horses, paper houses, boys, and money trees were lined up. They were holding Qin Zhenfang hairpins and Huaibi and knelt down and cried bitterly. Gai Tijin and Xiaoru Wan'er kept wiping their tears.

When the time came, Qin Hao personally lit a fire to send Zhou Rou's memories of the world. The paper offerings were licked by the orange flames, scorched black, and turned into fly ash. The four of them burned the paper bundles in the flames, fearing that

Zhou Rou is of no use there.

Zhou Rou's death was on the 13th of August, but Qin Hao was still on his way to Jiangbei on that day. Although he had paid tribute to Zhou Rou once with a gold title, Qin Hao Huaibi still insisted on making up for it again, so he arrived

Zhong Xuan immediately arranged the sacrifices and turned around to visit the grave.

Xiaoru Wan'er and Zhou Rou were not related, so she didn't want to come. However, she had admired Lin Zhenfang for a long time, and now that she was related to Qin Hao, she came to express her condolences.

As for the gold medal, the most people came to see Zhou Rou.

After offering sacrifices to Zhou Rou, the group stayed as guests and built a house.

Chang Yuantong's business has long since disappeared, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. As long as he doesn't build anything, the wealth he has accumulated will be enough for him to enjoy the rest of his life, so he is happy to be a tea drinker and a fisherman.

Now that you are rich, you no longer have to worry about business or official matters, so you gain weight again.

The wine and food sent by Huixian Tower were pure. Qin Hao, Huai Bi and Xiao Ru Wan'er had not eaten hometown food for a long time, and they were not polite to Gai Tijin, so the three of them ate half full first.

"Boss Gai, don't just watch us eat. You also use your chopsticks for such a good dish." Qin Hao advised.

Gai took a sip of wine with Jin in his mouth, waved his hands and said, "Lao Gai, a man with a lot of fish and meat, can't enjoy this anymore!"

"What's going on?" Qin Hao was curious.

He pointed his golden finger at his belly: "The doctor told me to control my diet. If I want to live for a few more years, I have to eat less food. Fatty, sweet and rich flavors are not allowed, so I only have green vegetables and radishes to keep me safe!"

Qin Hao picked up a piece of rock candy elbow and shook it in front of him: "Such a delicious elbow, boss Gai really doesn't want one?"

Gai Jin swallowed greedily, the salty, sweet and glutinous taste of the rock sugar elbow was almost on the tip of his tongue, but the doctor's warning immediately rang in his ears, and he had to suppress the greed in his stomach.

"No, no, it makes me happy to see you eating. Girls, eat more for Lao Gai!"

Xiao Ru Wan'er said: "There is a dance routine in our team that is most effective in reducing belly fat. Boss Gai, if you need it, I can teach you!"

Gai Xianjin particularly liked this "Red Granny" and got along well with her. He nodded quickly when he heard this. "Okay, okay, Miss Ru must teach Lao Gai a lesson. In addition, she will give Lao Gai a year's worth of theater tickets."

Come on, don’t let your eyes suffer again.”

"That's natural. Let alone one year, even ten years, the boss will always come to support me!" Xiao Ruwan'er nodded repeatedly.

The four of them chatted for a while, and Gai Xianjin stepped into the topic and asked Qin Hao: "Do you need me to take care of the Jiaofang?"

Qin Hao stopped and said, "I won't bother Boss Gai for the moment. Wan'er is quite familiar with her there. We will also go and inquire about the news first. If we need Boss Gai's help, we will definitely bother you."

Gai Xianjin nodded, and suddenly said mysteriously: "It will be different from usual when I come back. People in the world should avoid it!"

"How do you say this?"

"Five gangs and twelve factions," Gai Xianjin shook his head, "it has changed its taste."

"What does it mean that the taste has changed?"

"I can't tell. I just feel that there have been big changes. Lao Gai and I haven't seen Liu Dechuan for several months. This was impossible before. There is no news anywhere. Just in case, you should avoid them.

, to save unnecessary trouble.”

Qin Hao nodded: "Qin Hao remembers what Boss Gai said. Our investigation is relatively hidden, so we shouldn't provoke them."

"Also," Gai Tijin continued to warn, "last time you fished An Qiluo out of Zheng Cong's house, it didn't look like much, but I heard that many people were killed in the compound."

Qin Hao's expression changed slightly: "If you have fewer maids, you won't have to start a war, right?"

"You can't see people alive, you can't see dead bodies. You just disappear out of thin air in the compound. It's still the foreign residence of the chief minister of the dynasty, and there's a vixen living in it. No matter what, it's a big deal. But the most important thing is..."

Qin Hao had an exquisite mind: "Could it be that they discovered a secret passage?"

Gai Xianjin nodded: "Zheng Cong wanted to dig three feet into the ground to find An Qiluo. Naturally, he found the secret tunnel. The key was to open up all the series of tunnels underneath. Originally, Su Jia wanted to cover up this matter.

But somehow the news was leaked, and everyone in the city knew that there was a secret passage underground under Zhongxuan."

"What is done with the secret passage now? Has it been buried?"

"It wouldn't be a pity that the ready-made secret tunnel was buried! At that time, there were rumors flying around. Some said that there was an ancient city underneath Zhongxuan. Some said that the disaster in Huangshi Mountain was caused by an earthquake in the ancient city. Some said that there were ancient treasures underneath. Even more bizarre, they said that there was

All kinds of monsters hide underground and come out to eat people at every turn."

Gai Xianjin took another sip of wine.

"So instead of concealing it, the government should disclose the information and specially recruited a group of gentry and common people to explore the tunnels. Only then did they stop the messages. Then Zhong Xuanwei took over the tunnels and blocked all the tunnels that should be blocked. Now it has become a war preparedness area.

hole."

Qin Hao said disdainfully: "I didn't expect that old man Zheng Cong still has some discernment!"

Gai Xianjin shook his head: "He didn't come up with this idea. According to his style, he wouldn't have asked people to visit it."

"Then who else can be so resourceful and still make Zheng Cong obey?"

"Who else can make Zheng Cong obedient? Pillow Feng!"

Qin Hao was surprised: "Wen Jiao? How can she be so shrewd?"

"Don't underestimate this vixen," Gai Xianjin lowered his voice, "Half of the sin that King Ying suffered back then was from Cheng Xuanwei, and the other half was from this vixen. Without the full support of these two people, Gao Gengwu would have been

Aren’t you just like a piece of trash!”

Qin Hao breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, she is no longer in power now."

Gai Tijin shook his head again: "That's wrong. Since she can make the old guy obey her words, her tentacles must not only be in the outer house. If you find anything wrong with this operation, don't force it. Say no."

It must have something to do with her."

--------

Leaving Gaizhai, the three of them went their separate ways.

Originally, Xiao Ru Wan'er wanted to invite Qin Han and the two to stay in the Red and Blue Classes, but Qin Han was concerned about Chang Yu's small courtyard in Pomegranate Lane, so she declined Xiao Ru Wan'er.

The yard is still the same, but no one has taken care of it for two or three months. Weeds have grown all over the yard, the fish tank is full of smelly water, and the koi have all rotted into fish skeletons.

I came back in a hurry last night and didn't bother to clean up. It took me the whole afternoon to clean up the inside and outside of the building.

Huai Bi's legs were already very good. He was running upstairs and downstairs, but he didn't dare to overwork Qin Hao. He was really tired from the journey. He was so busy that when the sun turned to the west, Qin Hao's upper eyelids seemed to be filled with lead and he couldn't lift them up.

, I simply didn’t have dinner, simply washed up, and went to bed.

I slept until dawn, and while I was half asleep and half awake, I heard the door of the courtyard banging, and at the same time there was a man's voice outside the courtyard.

Qin Hao was startled. Seeing Huaibi sleeping soundly, he didn't want to wake her up, so he quickly put on his clothes and shoes and went to the gate.

A familiar voice outside the gate shouted: "Who is back? Xiao Zhusheng or Brother Chang? Open the door quickly!"

Qin Han was overjoyed, pulled the door bolt away, opened the door, and immediately smiled. "Brother Kuai, why are you here?"

Kuai Da remained unchanged, still so big and thick. "Oh, it's you. Is Brother Chang Yu back too? Where's Xiao Zhu Sheng?"

"None of them came back, but Huaibi and I came back." She saw Kuai Da holding a bucket, scissors and broom in one hand and holding a key in the other hand. She didn't know why and asked, "What are you doing, brother Kuai?"

"Oh, when Xiao Zhusheng left, he asked my wife to help take care of your yard. She was busy and forgot about it. She only remembered last night. She sent Sa's family to clean up early in the morning. She knew how to do it. I was the one who was tired!" Kuai!

He poked his head into the yard and said, "You guys have tidied up now. It's easy to tidy up the Sajia!"

It was rare to see an acquaintance, so Qin Hao greeted him: "It's so early in the morning, Brother Kuai hasn't eaten yet. Come in and I'll cook noodles for you!"

Kuai Da smacked his lips, he was really hungry. "Then I'm welcome!"

Qin Hao welcomed Kuai Da into the living room and went to the kitchen to boil water and cook noodles. After a while, Huai Bi also woke up. She chatted with Kuai Da for a while and then took over from Qin Hao to cook noodles.

Qin Hao came out of the kitchen and saw Kuai Dazhao staring at the tree trunk outside the dining table window, so he asked, "What are you looking at?"

General Kuai pointed to two small holes in the tree that were not obvious, and said: "Do you still remember that when Boss Zhou entertained Brother Chang for a banquet, Brother Chang showed his hand? These holes were the arrow holes at that time."

Of course Qin Hao remembered this. At that time, he had a crush on Chang Yuchu and wanted to get close to him at the wine table. Unexpectedly, Zhou Rou waved her hand and gave him the bamboo sound, which made her spend the whole night

I was not in a good mood. If it hadn't been for those three nights in Huangshi Mountain, I might have become strangers to Chang Yu.

"Brother Kuai, why did you suddenly remember this?"

Kuai Da, a big old man, gave a rare sigh. "I think back then, Boss Zhou was sitting as the host, Brother Chang was the guest, Sajia was here, Lao Gai was here, Lao Liu was here, you and Mou He were here

By the way, it’s only one year, take a look, how many are left!”

This sentence touched his heart, and Qin Hao felt sad. "Alas, elder sister and elder sister Mou have reached bliss and no longer have to suffer all the sufferings in this world. This is a good thing. Brother Kuai does not need to be sad."

Kuai Da wiped his face and wiped the tears that were about to fall out into his beard.

"The world is full of troubles. This year, you have traveled thousands of miles. Lao Gai's property has been wiped out. Lao Liu can't see people alive or dead bodies. You really have committed some evil evil. I think this window tree is not in the right feng shui. You and Chang

Brother, I think it’s bad luck to chop it down!”

Qin Hao's focus was not on the tree. She asked, "Why, something happened to Master Liu?"

"Who knows if something has happened? I haven't seen anyone for several months. Shui Sheng Jin has also closed down. Not a single hozen is left. I don't know what happened. I asked my brothers in the Jianghu to go to Jiangnan to inquire about it. They all said that they had not heard anything about Lao Liu.

News, there is news from the east that Old Liu appeared in Donghai City, but there was no news after that!"

Qin Hao looked worried: "Boss Gai is also worried about him. Is there really something wrong?"

Kuai Da said seriously: "With his abilities and connections, no one except Zhou Gang can defeat him, so either there is some secret mission in the gang, or..."

"What is it?"
