In order to maintain the empress's majesty, Yin's younger sister had to "become" Yin Nanzhi and enter the palace under her sister's name.

With Empress Tianwu's intelligence capabilities, she must have known about this matter and condoned it, but the problem lies in this condonation - outsiders are unaware of it.

When Empress Tianwu was alive, even if Concubine Yin's identity was exposed, the empress could protect her with just one word.

But now that Empress Tianwu is gone, there is no one who can support Concubine Yin anymore. If the matter of the blood letter is brought up, Concubine Yin will be regarded as the person who deceived the royal family. She took over her sister's identity and became the concubine.

Chu Bushe was a little confused and murmured:

"Empress Yin is so cold to her family, why doesn't the head of the Yin family threaten her with this thing?"

Yi Yihan was speechless at his doubts. Her eyes almost said "idiot". She explained:

"If the Yin family takes out the blood letter, although they can pull down Concubine Yin, the Yin family will also have to kill all nine clans. Therefore, this blood letter is actually a guarantee for the Yin family. If Concubine Yin wants to destroy her family, the Yin family can take out this thing and perish with her."

Chu Bushe suddenly realized and understood the meaning of this thing.

Judging from the fact that "Concubine Yin neglected her natal family but was close to Jinse", it is possible that Concubine Yin really had murderous intentions towards her natal family and held a grudge against what happened in the past.

He suddenly felt that the weight of this blood letter had become much heavier.

With this thing, I can give Concubine Yin a little threat.

After putting away the blood letter, Chu Bu She walked to Yi Yi Han to see if he could help.

"Yi Han, what are you looking for? I'll help you find it."

Yi Yihan took down one account book after another from the bookshelf and put them back in disappointment.

These account books recorded some of the Yin family's dishonorable dealings, but in her eyes, they meant nothing. To maintain the prosperity of a family, all aspects of management were necessary, and it could even be said that it was unavoidable.

"I want to find out the account between the Yin family and Yuhua Pavilion. My mother once used the Yin family as an intermediary to provide financial support to a small sect."

"Is there anything special about this? What is the name of that small sect?"

"That small sect is nothing more than a nominal intermediary of a secretive force, but the key point is that this force seems to have... a deep relationship with the Heavenly Demon Killing Induction."

Chu Bushe understood that Yuhua Pavilion treated the Yin family as a glove and secretly gave investment to others, and the small sect that received the investment was also someone else's white glove.

To put it simply, when Empress Dowager Yi was in charge of Yuhua Pavilion, she secretly promoted and assisted the research on this evil forbidden technique of killing and inducing demons.

He asked uncertainly, "Madam Yi, is she... interested in the Heavenly Demon Killing Guide?"

Yi Yihan nodded deeply, frowning and said, "It should be."

This forbidden technique of killing by the devil can only bring misfortune to people. Yi Yihan doesn't understand why the strict mother in his memory would be involved in this evil technique and even spend money to support it.

There was probably still a lot of noise going on outside the Yin Mansion, so I couldn't get out for a while.

Chu Bushe wiped the dust off the tables and chairs with his sleeves and invited Yi Yihan to sit down and chat.

Thinking of the previous misunderstanding, Chu Bu She brought up the old matter again and asked:

"By the way, Yi Han, what is your purpose in returning to the Great Zhou? I previously thought it was to regain your legitimate status, but now I'm afraid I misunderstood. Can you tell me?"

That straightforward girl who was full of independent ideas and strong executive ability rarely showed a confused look.

She flipped through the account book absentmindedly and shook her head slightly.

"In fact, I don't know either. Mother never mentioned it to me. But from her strict training over the years, I guess she wants me to return to the Great Zhou as a member of the royal family. I have always used this as a goal to encourage myself and dare not slack off.

That had been my motivation before I set out to come to Da Zhou.

But when I actually stepped here, I lost that strong desire to act. This place is too unfamiliar. It doesn’t seem like the hometown in my heart, but just a foreign land.

I have been working hard for so many years, but when I was closest to my dream, my heart began to waver. "

Chu Bu She really understood and felt what the woman said. He smiled bitterly and said:

"I think we are actually quite like-minded, at least when it comes to being confused."

Yi Yihan doesn't want to become a "friend with similar ideas" with Chu Bushe over the issue of "confusion", otherwise their friendship would become a matter of sharing the same bad taste.

A bright smile suddenly appeared on her beautiful face, and the dim secret room became brighter because of her smile. She said helplessly:

"But I still have a clear goal in mind. I am not confused or hesitant at all, just like the fact that you insisted on searching for the whereabouts of the returning team a few days ago."

Chu Bushe blinked and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"

"Back then, the Great Zhou royal family feared my mother's martial power and used the Soul Gu on her. I want to take back my mother's Soul Gu!"

As he spoke, Yi Yihan's eyes were sharp and cold.

After chatting for a long time, the two thought it was almost time and dawn was approaching, so they got up and prepared to leave the underground dark room.

......

In the Nanshan Courtyard.

The officers investigated here all night, hoping to find clues, and asked whether the Yin family had offended anyone and implicated the old man.

However, these investigations yielded nothing. The murderer was not after money or sex, he just killed the person and left.

After a night of hard work, the intelligence progressed to the same level as at the beginning - the murderer might have practiced the Heavenly Demon Killing Induction.

The sky was gradually getting brighter and the police team was preparing to leave.

Si Qingyun's senses were sharp, much better than those of other warriors at the same level. She vaguely heard slight noises in the study.

"Is it the wardrobe? Could it be the sound of termites?"

Muttering softly, Si Qingyun opened the wardrobe, and the expression on Ci Li's face changed from confusion and vigilance to expressionless and cold.

Chu Bushe was standing in the closet, holding Yi Yihan's wrist.

The three of them looked at each other in silence.

Chapter 62: Your brother is holding me, sister Qingyun shouldn’t be angry, right?

The atmosphere in the air suddenly felt like stale dog shit, smelly and hard.

The man and woman in the closet were standing close to each other, as if hugging each other. Chu Bu She even held Yi Yi Han's wrist tightly, showing their affection, but the original intention was not what one saw.

This "intimacy" was simply because the wardrobe space was too small, and there were pens, ink, paper and inkstones placed under their feet. If they accidentally stepped on them, it would make a loud noise, so the two could only squeeze together.

Chu Bu She could have used the excuse of supporting Yi Yi Han by holding her small waist, but out of caution, he did not take advantage of this. He just held her wrist tightly to maintain their balance in this small space.

But no matter what the reason was, Chu Bushe felt tremendous pressure from Si Qingyun's cold gaze.

During this period of silence, Si Qingyun's face was cold and indifferent, and her fair skin exuded a jade-like glow, like the cold moonlight. Chu Bushe felt as if a piece of ice had fallen into his heart when she stared at him.

If the clothes are cold, she will not understand what the situation is. She didn't know what the situation was.

Why is there a stalemate? Shouldn't they just start fighting? Why are they just staring at each other?

In the yard, the female jailer Ding Jingjing noticed that her boss had returned to the study, so she called out curiously:

"Boss Si, did you find anything?"

Hearing this question, Yi Yihan's face changed slightly. He knew that he could not continue the eye contact. If he was besieged by people outside, the situation would become very bad!

Just as she was about to attack, Chu Bu She held her down and shook his head gently.

"?"

Yi Yihan raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him in confusion, not understanding why he reacted like that.

The one in front of you is an elite warrior from Tianyu, who specializes in dealing with skilled martial artists. Moreover, she has a group of companions outside, so they are numerous and powerful.

When Ding Jingjing was about to enter the study, Si Qingyun closed the closet door, turned around and left as if nothing had happened, saying:

"Nothing, there were two big rats in the closet, so I misheard the noise."

After hearing what Si Qingyun said, the others were no longer suspicious. They had been busy all night and now just wanted to go back and rest.

"Mice, that's okay, but I'm really scared of big cockroaches!"

"Jingjing, you are a warrior after all, why are you afraid of such a small insect?"

"Two days after the mission, I went home and opened the lid of the pot, and a bunch of big and small cockroaches ran out. Weren't you afraid?"

Hearing the sound of the officials gradually fading away, Chu Bushe and Yi Yihan sneaked out and escaped from Yin's mansion.

After the two of them evacuated to a safe place, Yi Yihan asked:

"Do you know that girl just now?"

It was more than just knowing each other. She was the one who broke my virginity for the first time...

Chu Bushe hid the little grumble in his heart and said with a straight face:

"I know her. She is a descendant of the Western Expedition Army. I have had contact with her before. She must have kept it a secret for us just now because she was thinking of the relationship."

"I see. Then we are really lucky this time. If we had done it under such circumstances, there would have been a lot of trouble later."

Chu Bu She was afraid that the truth would be exposed if he talked more, so he skipped the matter and said:

"Anyway, it's good that everything is alright. Yi Han, have you found the account book? You were busy with my business last night."

The graceful woman in the black dress shook her head slightly:

"I didn't find it, but it doesn't matter. I just want to dispel my suspicions and confirm that it was Xu Lishu's personal act and had nothing to do with my mother, but..."

In fact, the information Yi Yihan had was most likely pointing to his mother, and the records of the whereabouts of funds within Yuhua Pavilion were very clear.

Chu Bu She didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say:

"Then your trip is in vain. I owe you this. Next time if you want to retrieve Madam Yi's Soul Gu, remember to call me!"

Yi Yihan subconsciously wanted to refuse. Her features were cold and extraordinary, but her soul was warm and sincere, and her temperament was generous and straightforward.

There were no difficulties on this trip. Besides, Yi Yihan also came here with a purpose to explore the secret room in Yin Mansion. His original intention when he set out was not to accompany Chu Bushe.

How could Chu Bu She owe her a favor just because they helped each other?

But on second thought, Yi Yihan gladly accepted it. His eyes were like a pool of clear water, and when he looked into Chu Bushe's eyes, his elegant and noble temperament was reflected.

"Okay, don't use the excuse that you are busy and can't be there at that time."

"You think too highly of me. What can an idle person do~"

After bidding farewell to Yi Yihan, Chu Bushe moved to the Sword Casting Pavilion, a famous old blacksmith shop in the capital.

This is a shop opened in the capital by the Sword Casting Villa, one of the major sects. It is well-known and its blacksmithing skills are highly praised in the world.

Even in the far western regions, the weapons that come out of the Sword Forging Villa are considered one of the "star" products.

Chu Bu She came here with his newly acquired sword Zhe Qiu Hua. As soon as he entered the door, disciples of the sect came forward to greet him warmly.

"Sir, please let me know if you want to buy, forge, or repair swords!"

Chu Bushe came here naturally to make Zhe Qiuhua look old. This sword was too gorgeous and elegant, and he was afraid that others would not dare to come up and beat him.

But this is my mother-in-law's sword, it is too valuable and cannot be handled casually.

Still need to use a better set.

"We need to make a scabbard for this sword. It's best if the scabbard looks like the blade, and it has to look old, with all the rust, cracks, and broken edges fixed."

"?"

The sword-making disciple was stunned.

What is this demand?

"Sir, what you mean is... to use this precious sword as the inner shell, and then put another layer of sword body on the outside, so that the sword body looks tattered?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. Do it quickly."

Chu Bu She put down the banknote, and the disciple naturally said that it was no problem and that he could come and pick it up in half a day.

While waiting, Chu Bushe found a nearby restaurant to have some fun.

It was still morning and the sun had just risen. The restaurant was still doing breakfast business at this time, so there wasn't much fun to do.

As people came and went, they could still hear about the assassination of the old man of the Yin family. Everyone took it very seriously and was worried about the peace of the capital.

Such chaotic events of fighting and killing in the underworld should only occur outside the capital area, but now they have spread to the very foot of the imperial city.

Compared to the period of Empress Tianwu, the current emperor has been on the throne for two years, but it seems that he is unable to control the underworld of the Great Zhou. Not to mention the underworld, there are two women sitting in the court.

Boos and sighs.

Of course, even though these diners had spoken very cryptically, the restaurant suddenly fell silent, and no one dared to chat any more for fear of causing trouble through their words.

Because a group of officers came in.
