Unexpectedly, the inn chosen by Huo Anu was actually adjacent to a Jiaofangsi.
This Jiaofangsi is equivalent to a large nightclub. It is a comprehensive entertainment venue that integrates singing and dancing, entertainment, opera, acrobatics, etc.
Sitting on the terrace of the room, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the temple, watch the pleasing dance of the beauties, and listen to the wonderful music of the singing girls...
Shangyuan City is indeed a prosperous city that never sleeps!
At this moment, Haishi has passed, but the streets are still brightly lit and tourists are flowing in. Especially in the Jiaofang Division, it is noisy with people, drunken voices and laughter.
Looking at everything in front of him, Xu Zun's mood finally calmed down, and he suddenly thought that he had never truly relaxed before coming to Daxuan!
It begins with You Dalang killing his wife, then the iron coffin appears, then Mr. Shen is killed, his fiancée gets married, and he is promoted to a prison sentence, and finally encounters a new case in Shangyuan City.
All of this seems to run counter to his lofty ideal of living a lifetime, and is getting further and further away...
Suddenly, the sound of pipa music came from the Jiaofang Office, and a certain singing girl sang an unknown song.
The song was far away and the lyrics could not be heard clearly, but the melody was melodious and melodious, so far away from the world that Xu Zun couldn't help but get drunk.
Amidst the beautiful singing, Xu Zun took out the song "Linjiang Immortal" that Shen Qian left for him and savored it carefully.
"...The long night is full of past memories, and I hear the cockcrow from time to time. Suddenly my heart breaks at the end of the world. Who can understand the love in this life? One thought becomes a sorrow from spring to winter. I would like to thank you for your unfulfilled wish and send me your love in the next life..."
I would like to thank you for your unfulfilled wish and send me your love in the next life.
Tsk tsk...
Looking back on the past, Xu Zun still felt that these two sentences were a bit abrupt.
Although he and Shen Qian could be called childhood sweethearts, they had nothing to do with being in love.
Not only are they not related, it seems more appropriate to use the words "turn each other against each other" to describe them.
Shen Qian will always be the smart and arrogant Miss Shen, while Xu Zun will always be the confused and useless Xu Xiaopan.
Why?
Why does she want to become a monk?
Why should you keep such a poem to yourself?
Xu Zun believed that he was serious about his feelings, but if he didn't have feelings, how could he treat them?
Could it be that Shen Qian blames herself for the death of Mr. Shen, which leads to some kind of mental illness?
Because Shen Gong always wanted to bring her and him together before his death, but Shen Qian felt sorry for her father, so she chose to become a monk, and why did she have such contradictory emotions towards herself?
Actually, it’s not necessary, right?
Xu Zun thought that if there was a chance in the future, he should go to Zhaoye Temple again to enlighten Miss Shen.
call……
Putting away "Linjiang Immortal", Xu Zhengzheng took a deep breath and then turned around and returned to the room.
But he saw Ku Niang sitting quietly on his bed.
You can't hear any breathing, it's like a ghost. If you are not mentally prepared, you will definitely be shocked.
well!
Seeing Ku Niang, Xu Zun couldn't help but sigh.
Since rescuing Ku Niang, Xu Zun has called her into his room almost every day to have a heart-to-heart talk with her in order to find clues from her.
But today, Xu Zun was obviously not in the mood.
After talking for so many days, Ku Niang is still like a robot, unable to speak or write.
Sometimes, Xu Zun really wants to test it to see if her body is made of steel?
However, the burns on her head and the scars on her face and body cannot be deceiving. She must be a living person of flesh and blood.
So, what happened to her that made her like this?
The word "release" was left in Mr. Shen's last words. Does that mean that this woman has no value at all and he has to release her?
But, can it really be let go?
Xu Zun squatted in front of Ku Niang and looked at her carefully for countless times.
Ku Niang's eyes were still so fierce and deep, making people dare not look directly into them.
If it weren't for the scars on her face, her appearance would indeed be considered above average. With delicate facial features and soft outlines, if she were dressed up carefully, she would definitely be an extremely beautiful girl.
Also, her skin is delicate, white, soft and full of vitality.
It is precisely because of this that Xu Zun once wondered whether Ku Niang came from the palace? Or from a famous family?
However, when Xu Zun looked at her palms, he had a new view, because there was a layer of calluses on her palms, as if she had held a sword before.
So, Xu Zun began to wonder again, could this woman be a Japanese assassin from the East China Sea?
Will she also have special skills like the fake Qiu Yongnian?
If that's the case, is it true that together with Huo Anu and Zhao Yu, they are no match for her?
There are more and more questions, but the answers can never be found, so Xu Zun naturally becomes more and more anxious.
What he dislikes the most is putting himself in a passive position.
He understood that if he wanted to know Ku Niang's identity, there was currently only one way, and that was to let the fake Qiu Yongnian meet Ku Niang.
Maybe the fake Qiu Yongnian can recognize her?
However, this method is obviously unrealistic. If Cai Kun and others know that Ku Niang is the thing in the iron coffin, the consequences will be disastrous.
He will become a suspect in the Iron Coffin Case, and no matter how many times he opens his mouth, he will not be able to tell.
Dangdang...
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
Xu Zun quickly recovered his thoughts and ordered Ku Niang: "Go back to your room and sleep now!"
She has to act well. In the eyes of Huo Anu and Zhao Yu, Ku Niang is just Liu Dong's mentally disturbed wife.
Ku Niang was indeed obedient, stood up and walked out.
Xu Zun opened the door, but saw Huo Anu entering from the outside.
Huo Anu was not surprised to see Ku Niang, because Xu Zun said that he would provide mental treatment to Ku Niang every day.
After Ku Niang left, Huo Anu lowered his voice and said to Xu Zun: "I have looked at them all and found nothing unusual!"
"Really?" Xu Zun asked.
"We have just arrived at Shangyuan City," Huo Anu expressed confusion, "You don't have to be so arrogant, right?"
"My premonitions have always been accurate," Xu Zun said. "It is precisely because we arrived at Shangyuan City that all the trees and grass were surrounded by soldiers."
"Okay!" Huo Anu said, "The lady asked me to tell you, whatever you say will be yours!"
"Um……"
Xu Zun glanced at the girl from the Western Region and said nothing, his mind still filtering his future plans.
"Master Xu," Huo Anu asked, "Since you are worried, at worst I won't sleep tonight and will keep an eye on your so-called enemies for you?"
"No!" Xu Zun shook his head, "You and Zhao Yu are going to do something with me tonight. Let's go now while it's still so busy outside!"
"Ah?" Huo Anu asked hurriedly, "Where are you going?"
"There are a few things I still can't figure out," Xu Zun said, "I hope I can find the answer before I find Miss Hou Fu!"
"Sir," Huo Anu said, "Are you so sure? Can you tell me something first... Hello..."
Before she finished speaking, Xu Zun had already walked out of the room...
…
Half an hour later, in a certain house on Bookstore Street in Shangyuan City.
Xu Zun jumped off the wall neatly, and Zhao Yu and Huo Anu also landed lightly in the courtyard.
"Okay, sir," Zhao Yu praised in a low voice, "I thought I had to use a rope to pull you in, but I didn't expect that you are also very skilled in climbing over walls!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Xu Zun shushed him and began to observe the environment.
This is the home of Lu Xiaofeng, and he plans to conduct a secret investigation from here tonight.
Like the silk and satin shop in Xinye County, this place also has a store in the front, a courtyard in the middle, and residential buildings in the back.
Xu Zun whispered to the two of them: "Anu, follow me to the bookstore, and Zhao Yu go to the residence to see if there is anything abnormal."
"Okay!" Zhao Yu turned around and walked towards the Lu family's house.
Xu Zun and Huo Anu looked at each other and quickly arrived at the bookstore.
However... Huo Anu was about to open the door and go in, but Xu Zun suddenly stopped her.
"Huh? That's not right. What does it smell like?"
Xu Zunti sniffed and smelled a tar smell.
"Ah!?" Xu Zun suddenly shuddered and quickly pulled Huo Anu away, shouting at the same time, "No!"
Sudden...
There was a flash of fire in the bookstore, and a fire instantly ignited in the room. The fierce fire exploded into a fireball, and the violent impact immediately knocked Xu Zun and Huo Anu to the ground!
At almost the same moment, the same situation happened at the Lu family residence. Fires shot into the sky, and Zhao Yu howled like a pig...
