"So early in the morning, entering the house, who is this scholar? He doesn't seem like a casual acquaintance. Search: \\(¨Complete¨Book¨Divine¨Station¨) for free access to quality literature."

"During last year's investigation, there wasn't any information like this, right?"

"After Nie Yunzhu redeemed herself, she rarely interacted with strange men. Even those she knew previously were dealt with cleanly, severing all ties. We really didn't find any trace of this scholar."

In the morning light, two constables watched the scholar's back, quietly exchanging their doubts. In fact, they had had an interaction with Nie Yunzhu as early as last year, but the undercover investigation at the time didn't reveal much meaningful information. Later, due to the higher-ups wanting to close the case and other things, the operation on that case was temporarily suspended. At this moment, Deputy Constable Xu, a middle-aged man with the surname Xu, smiled.

"Two women who were like the top courtesans, after redeeming themselves, only have close contact with this scholar. If this gets out, I'm afraid many self-proclaimed romantic men will be furious, at least that Gu Yanzhen..."

"Old Xu, do you know what I'm thinking right now?"

"...Gu Yanzhen?"

"Wasn't there such a speculation back then..."

"Alright... I'll follow him and investigate."

Back then, Chen and Xu had several speculations about the cause of Gu Yanzhen's death, but in reality, they didn't have too much concrete evidence, which was too vague, and that's why they couldn't investigate further in the end. Speaking of it now, the deputy constable nodded and followed the scholar's receding figure. Constable Chen was thinking about the case that had been disconnected for more than half a year, and that the higher-ups had closed early on. He felt that the possibility of finding clues this time was not high. After a while, Constable Xu returned.

"How was it?"

"I was almost discovered, and I couldn't follow him anymore. That scholar... is very vigilant."

"Hmm?" Constable Xu was stunned. "I couldn't tell."

"Do you remember the speculation back then?"

"What?"

"Back then, the one who killed Yang Yi, Yang Heng, and later Gu Yanzhen, was a truly ruthless person. His martial arts may not be as good as the Yang brothers, but his heart... only a real desperate person could do such a thing... This person is also related to that female assassin from Mount Lüliang. It's understandable that a casual investigation couldn't find him back then. It's been so long, if we really find this guy... Chief Chen, have you really thought it through?"

In fact, although constables like them always deal with all kinds of criminals, and their minds have been trained so that they are not moved by ordinary crimes, if the opponent they face is truly crazy to a certain extent, most people will still choose to avoid it if they can. For example, the Yang brothers back then were like that, and the person who exterminated the Yang family was obviously not easy to provoke after some rough deduction. If their investigation is wrong, it's another matter. If they really find him, they will always have to confront that person.

Constable Chen thought for a while, then put a blade of grass in his mouth and shook his head: "Back then, it was just a casual speculation. The sea of people is vast, how can we bump into him so easily... For women like Nie Yunzhu and Yuan Jin'er, after they redeem themselves, it would be a joke if they really didn't have any relationship with any men. It's just that this matter must be kept secret. That scholar is vigilant, probably because of this. It's not so easy to really match up, but even if we do match up..."

He smiled: "Desperate people, I, Chen Feng, have never been afraid of anyone..."

*******************

Ning Yi didn't really notice anyone following him. He just felt something at a certain street corner, observed for a while without finding anything, and assumed that he was being too suspicious, so he didn't investigate further.

He naturally went to the school to teach that morning. Zhou Pei, who had witnessed the entire process of the battle yesterday, looked surprised when she saw Ning Yi come. During the break, she took the opportunity to ask: "Tea- Teaacher, you were injured yesterday, are you alright?" She was relieved when Ning Yi replied that he was fine.

The event that happened yesterday afternoon shocked her beyond words. The clean and decisive shooting, the amazing battle, and the attitude of not retreating in the face of such fierce people. Zhou Pei had hardly known any scholars who could do such a thing in a hurry. She had heard of scholars who were calm in the face of adversity and not afraid of death, but that was just the courage to offer their necks to be killed. But she had never heard of anyone who could read the books of sages and teach students on the one hand, and fight with people to this extent on the other.

The scholar's elegance and confidence, as well as the warrior's ferocity, what shocked Zhou Pei the most was actually the fire gun that Ning Yi threw out later. At the most critical moment, the fire gun was grabbed by the most ferocious strongman, which almost made her heart jump to her throat for a moment. However, the next moment, the fire gun fired, which really left most people's minds blank. Zhou Pei couldn't react to what that scene was about at the time. Later, when her mood calmed down a little, she also went to see Grandpa Qin and listened to their conversation to gradually deduce what kind of wit and courage each participant in this sudden change was using.

The teacher's composure, the later move, the breech-loading fire gun that had been arranged in advance, including Grandpa Qin's shout outside the door, "It's them, take them down for me." The calmness and resourcefulness contained in this were qualities that would leave ordinary people dumbfounded. The little girl used to pride herself on being smart, so she thought about what great things she would do in the future, but until yesterday, she saw for the first time what a truly amazing person should be like.

Grandpa Prince Consort should know these things, so he asked Junwu and me to become teachers, right? Perhaps Grandpa Prince Consort, who has been with us for so many years, is also such an amazing person, but he never shows it in front of us children.

I thought I had grown up, but I am still just a child...

With this feeling, when she saw the teacher this morning, she felt a little strange, and she couldn't quite figure it out herself. Actually, she still minded the embarrassment of losing face yesterday morning and the later crying being seen, but she felt that "this barbarian teacher is indeed a very amazing person," so she cared a little less and became more tolerant.

As for the two teachers, Zhang Rui and Li Tong, who originally planned to argue with the teacher, after seeing what happened and then seeing Grandpa Qin's attitude towards the teacher, they just greeted him politely and left quickly.

The little girl was shocked by what happened yesterday, and her mood was a little different. She relaxed a little about the troubles caused by the upcoming selection of a county lord. She felt that there were people like the teacher, Grandpa Qin, and Grandpa Prince Consort in this world, and she shouldn't bother with these trivial matters. As long as she became strong, she could always deal with everything. If Ning Yi could know what the little county lord was thinking today, and put this feeling on marriage, he would probably mourn for her future county lord.

The incident happened only yesterday, and by the afternoon, Ning Yi went to Qin Mansion to see the situation. He had only reached the corner of the street where Qin Mansion was located when he saw carriages and palanquins parked all the way ahead. Qin Siuyuan originally lived in Jiangning in anonymity, but this year, many people have come to visit him. Yesterday, that incident happened again, involving the Liao people. Today, all kinds of people have flocked over. Ning Yi glanced at it and turned to leave, deciding to come back after the limelight had passed, but as soon as he turned around, he was blocked.

"If Liheng leaves like this, I'm afraid the master and madam will blame this concubine."

Appearing in front of him at this time was Yun Niang, Qin Siuyuan's concubine. At this time, this knowledgeable and courteous woman was wearing a veil, followed by a maid, and gave him a slight blessing. Ning Yi quickly returned the salute: "Oh, Madam Yun, are you coming back from outside?"

"This concubine is here specially to wait for the young master." Yun Niang smiled, "Madam knew that the young master would come today, and just said at home that she must thank the young master well for saving the master's life later. At that time, Old Kang was also next to her, and said with a smile that if the young master saw the posture at the door, he would definitely turn around and leave, and would not come for a good few days. Sister then ordered this concubine to wait at the street corner. The young master's reaction is indeed no different from what Old Kang expected, ha."

After Yun Niang finished speaking, she slightly restrained her smile and became a little serious: "Young Master saved Master's life yesterday, which is a great favor to the entire Qin family. Please accept a bow from Yun Niang."

She and the maid behind her bowed down this time, paying a very solemn salute, and Ning Yi had no choice but to return the salute solemnly.

Now that the words had been spoken, there was no way to leave for a while. Following Yun Niang into Qin Mansion, sure enough, there were many people gathered in the Qin family at this time, some were officials, some were great scholars, and only a few were Ning Yi knew, probably they were also Qin Siuyuan's chess friends. Seeing Ning Yi coming, they asked him whether he was injured, while the others asked each other who this young man was. After asking a rough outline, they praised him as a young hero, and some who knew his son-in-law status could not help but regret it. On the other hand, no one cared about the nickname "Ten Steps One Calculation", only thinking that he had some small tricks in doing business. It was really regrettable that a young hero was a businessman.

After that, everyone chatted idly in the living room, inevitably talking about the Liao assassins, talking about Liao State, and then talking about Qin Siuyuan. It was still a bit early to talk about his past "achievements" at this time. After all, the relationship between the Jin and Liao states was still uncertain, and Qin Siuyuan was unwilling to talk about these at this time. While speaking, everyone's attention inevitably turned to Ning Yi. Although Ning Yi is no longer enthusiastic about socializing, he is extremely accomplished in this regard. He talks and laughs lightly, and occasionally even guides the atmosphere, which is familiar.

At this time, the room was full of officials and great scholars with status and status. If an ordinary young man could respond well in this kind of occasion, or could be said to respond appropriately, neither humble nor arrogant. But even if he is neither humble nor arrogant, there is always a gap in status. Ning Yi's performance was a bit different. He usually associated with Qin Siuyuan and others as equals. He did not show off because of this. He only answered a few words when others spoke to him. His temperament originally had the natural attitude of an upper-class person. Sometimes he said a few interesting topics, and everyone laughed, but no one felt that he was opening his mouth to the elders, or being too arrogant or flamboyant. In addition, Qin Siuyuan and Kang Xian's emphasis on his attitude also increased Ning Yi's own sense of integration.

At that time, it felt natural, and only after some of them left that afternoon did they realize that this young man was not simple. This kind of posture was almost not comparable to the current younger generation in Jiangning. After roughly understanding that Ning Yi had been in contact with Qin Siuyuan and Kang Xian in the past, they roughly guessed that this might be a disciple cultivated by Qin Siuyuan in the past few years. Obviously, Prince Consort Kang Xian also participated in it.

This powerful old man, if he really has great achievements, he may still rise again in the future. Perhaps only he can cultivate such a powerful disciple in these years.

It's just that this disciple is both a son-in-law and a businessman, which is really... strange.

The third update has been conceived, but I'm a little sleepy right now, and I may not be able to grasp the sense of language. I'll decisively skip it and code it again when I get up at night. The update time is probably about the same as today, and the first chapter will not be available until early in the morning.

Also, thank you for your concern about Banana's health. In fact, for me, the most mentally exhausting thing is still the lack of inspiration. When I can't code, I feel relaxed when I have inspiration every day. The discomfort in the past two days is probably because the fatigue from the previous break in updates has been accumulated. If I can be smooth for a longer period of time, I will basically have the spare energy to control my schedule... (To be continued.) Vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
