"The Qian family found that Qian Chengyuan had not returned last night. After the curfew was over early in the morning, they sent people to search for it. They found a few places where Qian Chengyuan often went to, so they rushed to report to the official. Qin Zhihui's wife Zhang did not see her husband return late at night, but she did not wait for the curfew to pass, so they went out alone to go to Zhang's house. Qin Zhihui's wife Zhang's mother's family did not wait for the curfew to pass, and sent two or three people to search in the city overnight - there may be some reasons to explain it here, but at this time, the Qin family should be sure that something happened to Qin Zhihui, but still did not report to the official..."

Now there are chaos in the war and a curfew is enforced in the city. Most people dare not walk around at night.

Qian Chengyuan and Qin Zhihui had not returned, and they did not ask anyone to bring the news home. The family was worried that they would send people to search in the city after the curfew, or they would directly send people to avoid night patrol soldiers to search, which can be said to be human nature.

Qin Zhihui's wife Zhang ignored the curfew and did not disturb her servants and went out of the house to look for it. This was a problem.

The people who lurked in Qin's house before did not pay attention to this at first, but when Zhou Jing sent someone to follow him and find Zhang's mother's house, more suspicious points were placed in front of him, and it was impossible to ignore them.

It's almost the same. Zhang's mother's home is in Tongjifang on the south bank of the Bian River, only more than a hundred steps away from the Wangji Warehouse where Xu Huai and the others were hiding.

When Xu Huaiwu got the news, he still did not rush to interrogate Qin Zhihui again. Instead, he and Zhou Jing and Zhu Chengjun were dressed up and walked out of the warehouse. They walked into a teahouse opposite Zhang's house. They found a table beside the window on the second floor to sit down and checked the movements in Zhang's house.

"Zhang Xiongshan also trades horses in Bianliang. He has hired many foreign tourists. He is a wealthy family in Tongjifang. I have had several contacts with him in my early years and bought a few good horses from him to take them back to Dengzhou. But I have never heard anyone mention that his daughter married such a 'good family' - this should have been deliberately concealed, otherwise the things that I talk about so much will not spread."

Zhou Jing set up the main base hidden in Bianliang in Tongjifang. In addition to the gathering of all the religions and the news is well-connected, another important factor is that Zhu Chengjun sold horses in Bianliang in his early years, and some industries were hidden and not confiscated by the government.

In addition, some servants and Ma Ke who followed Zhu Chengjun in their early years were extremely familiar with the situation near Tongjifang and had familiar connections. They could recruit a few capable people to send to Bianliang and could use them directly, and it was easy to carry out work.

As Zhu Chengjun spoke, Xu Huai and the others saw three foreign guests walking out of Zhang's house, looking quite alert. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the left and right, they quickly squeezed into the crowd and walked eastward.

"It's a Khitan!" Zhou Jing peeked out from the gap in the wooden window and said with a frown.

It is a common phenomenon for the Han and Fans to live in border prefectures in Hedong, Hebei and Shaanxi. It is not an individual phenomenon for the foreign households of the Qiang and Xi tribes to serve as generals and officials in the court.

As the imperial capital, Bianliang also has many foreign people living there.

Although very few people in the world noticed the subtle differences in appearance and customs of Dangxiang, Khitan, Chihu and other tribes in terms of appearance and customs. Zhu Chengjun had previously sold horses in Bianliang and had not noticed this after many contacts with Zhang Xiongshan. However, Xu Huai and Zhou Jing had so many doubts in their hearts. How could it be that the three healthy men who walked out of Zhang's house at this time were not ordinary foreign tourists?

"Let's go back first." Seeing this, Xu Huai stood up and said.

We will continue to arrange people to keep an eye on Zhang Zui's every move, but Xu Huai and the others will not be able to nail it here, and there are too many things they need to do.

…………

…………

The siege of the city was not resolved, and the streets and alleys of Tongjifang, where all walks of life gathered, were all refugees, and ordinary people were afraid to go out easily. In order to avoid attracting attention, Xu Huai and his team came out of the teahouse and walked around the alley to bypass the goods warehouse.

"What's the situation?" Xu Wuli asked urgently when he saw Xu Huai and the others rushed back.

"You probably didn't expect that there would be Khitans in Zhang's house?" Zhou Jing told some of the situations they saw to Xu Wuli and others who were guarding the warehouse.

"..." Xu Wuli was stunned for a moment and said with emotion, "So, Qin Zhihui has always been a spy of the Khitans, and it is very likely that she is Xiao Linshi's person? It's no wonder that Xiao Linshi's layout in Datong Prefecture was so accurate. They had already learned through Qin Zhihui that the court had made secret peace with the Chihu people, and they had even obtained the specific strategy of the first northern expedition to attack Yan!"

In the first northern expedition to Yan, Xiao Linshi was able to annihilate the Tianxiong Army in such a precarious situation. Xu Huai, Xu Wuli and others reviewed and deduced it many times afterwards, but there were still some confusions that could not be solved. Also, because of the hidden stakes and spies deployed by Chen Zixiao and the Khitans in Lanzhou and other places at that time, Xu Huai had long suspected that Xiao Linshi had spy-sighted intelligence in Bianliang.

However, the Khitan forces were already in ruins, and they also changed from confrontation to secret cooperation with Xiao Linshi, so they did not investigate these doubts, but they did not expect that the spy that Xiao Linshi had placed in Bianliang was lurking in Honglu Temple.

"No, if Qin Zhihui was Xiao Linshi's person, he should do everything possible to destroy the peace between the court and the Chihu people. How could he deliberately avoid it even though he knew there was something abnormal?" Zhu Qing asked in confusion, "Did Xiao Linshi have made a choice?"

Xu Wuji, Zhou Jing and others both had a headache.

They had had too deep dealings with Xiao Linshi and knew that although the remnants of Khitan masters were far from enough to resist the thriving Chihu people, if they defected to Chihu people, they would undoubtedly be called Chihu people to be more help.

Xu Huai intended to ask Princess Yingyun to undergo some experience and asked her to participate in the discussion. However, Yingyun did not care much about family and country in the past. How could it be impossible to get a glimpse of the whole leopard in a short period of time?

She was also confused at this moment, but just looking at the expressions of everyone, she knew that things were not good.

"Maybe it won't be like this, but what happened? Let's go and meet Qin Zhihui for a while and then you will know." Xu Huai clapped his hands and stood up, and walked to the west wing where Qin Zhihui was imprisoned.

Xu Huaixian pushed open the door of the west wing and turned around and saw others waiting in front of the porch to take out a black towel to cover their faces. He followed the door and said, "We can meet Qin Langjun honestly this time, and there is no need to hide our heads and faces anymore!"

Qin Zhihui was hung for a long time. Although she was not tied up again, her body was still tied tightly on a chair. She couldn't stretch her body all night, and she didn't have the opportunity to rest.

Qin Zhihui Chengxing suffered not seriously, but he was still tortured and exhausted.

He swept the faces of Zhu Han, Xu Wuli and others with exhausted eyes, and finally looked at Xu Huai in confusion.

"Mr. Qin Langjun said that he could help us assassinate Xu Jun. What are your wonderful methods? You can tell me at this time!" Xu Huai dragged a chair, sat in front of Qin Zhihui, and asked.

"Once the assassination is carried out, the involvement will be broad. The Junhou does not ensure that my family is young Wuyou. Even if I am involved in this matter?" Qin Zhihui could not take a closer look at Xu Wuli, Zhu Han and others. His main energy was still on Xu Huai, and he said hoarsely.

"What is worry, what is worry-free? I will arrange for the Qin family to leave Bianliang City at this time, so will it be worry-free? The Red Hunter Cavalry swept the world, how could it be a happy place? Qin Langjun, I think there is no need for us to bargain on this issue. As you tell the truth, will you still refuse? If we can't protect ourselves in Bianliang City after the incident, what's the use of my promise?" Xu Huai asked calmly.

"Yes, it seems that no matter what, I will have to take a try," Qin Zhihui laughed at herself, licked her dry and cracked lips with blood scabs, and said slowly, "Although the enemy soldiers besieged the city, the banquet in the city has not been broken, and it is just not known to outsiders. I happened to know where Xu Jun and others went to have a secret banquet every now and then. I believe that the Junhou will start from here and will achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

"At this time, the city ignores the curfew and has many guild houses that secretly make a living, but Xu Jun is not at all taboos as the imperial envoy in the hall?" Xu Huai asked in a deep thought.

"If someone is fixed, they will be impeached and punished. But if the location is changed to a pleasure boat on the Jinming River, the banquet will be a private person?" Qin Zhihui asked.

"How did Mr. Qin know about this?" Xu Huai asked.

"As the Minister of the Concierge, the things I do are no different from those welcoming and seeing off. The officials and the left prime minister also specifically instructed the Concierge to make the captives feel at home. Some things that cannot be put on the table are so I can only do with the help of it." Qin Zhihui said.

"I have the last question left, so please tell me the truth." Xu Huai said.

"Mr. Junhou, please ask." Qin Zhihui said.

"Qin Langjun, where did you learn about the Xuanwu army's attack on the camp at night?" Xu Huai asked.

Xu Huai asked this question. Qin Zhihui was like a cat with a trampled tail. His pupils suddenly magnified and he stared at Xu Huai in disbelief. After a while, he thought of covering up his shocked expression and shouted angrily: "What are you kidding Junhou? Are you suspicious that I informed the envoy? How could I know about such a secret matter? Xuanwu army attacked the envoy camp at night? "
