Early in the morning, the Wei Mansion was in chaos. When the housekeeper Lao Qiu discovered that Wei Shentong had committed suicide in the house, he hurriedly sent someone to notify the main hall master Xie Rendeng. [ ~]
Soon there were more people in the house, and Xie Rendeng's subordinates came first before they arrived, so they sealed off the courtyard and interrogated the subordinates. When asked about Yue Cangqiong, the visitor heard him mention Yue Xiaoyu's name, but was surprised.
He nodded and said: "The hall master is waiting for you in the front yard, you can come with us."
Xie Rendeng had explained everything, and Yue Cangqiong immediately followed him to the front yard, where he saw a slightly fat middle-aged man standing next to Wei Shentong's body, frowning and saying nothing.
Seeing Yue Cangqiong coming over, the man nodded and ordered his subordinates to carry the body away. Then he frowned and said, "It's hard to explain the death of a deputy hall master. How should I write the report letter later?"
, you have to think about it carefully."
Yue Cangqiong knew that he was acting for others, so he didn't say anything and just stood aside silently, waiting for Xie Rendeng to find a chance to ask questions. After a while, Xie Rendeng waved to him and said, "You are the new guest. I heard what Lao Wei said
You are quite capable, what do you think of Lao Wei's death?"
"This subordinate doesn't dare to make any guesses. It's just that there have been a lot of affairs in the hall recently, and I heard that there is a conflict with the Jiulong Gang. I'm afraid that Deputy Hall Master Wei has too many things on his mind to think about..." He stopped talking at this point, and the implication was that
Self-evident.
Xie Rendeng was noncommittal and waved his hand and said: "Anyway, there are unforeseen circumstances..." The two of them had finished their politeness. Xie Rendeng arranged for his subordinates and took him away on the pretext that he wanted to use Yue Cang Qiong to do something.
The two left the Wei Mansion, Xie Rendeng waved away his subordinates again, and then walked with Yue Cangqiong and said: "I didn't expect that things would really come to this point. As long as the cause of death cannot be found out, there is nothing you can do. Wait until a new deputy is sent."
The hall master will come over in a month or two."
"I have fulfilled my normal promise, so should Hall Master Xie make some remarks next?" Yue Cangqiong took the opportunity to ask for chips. [Ye*] [*]
"Don't worry, we still have one level to pass. The Kowloon Gang is furious because of Xiao Bubai's death, so we have to go over to quell their anger."
"Oh?" Mentioning the words Jiulong Gang, Yue Cangqiong suddenly thought of Zhuge Peiyu. He had to be more careful when dealing with the Jiulong Gang, and immediately asked, "Who is in charge of the Jiulong Gang?"
"As far as I know, she is a woman. She is young, and everyone calls her the boss's wife. But she seems to rarely show up in public. Someone sent me a message early this morning, saying that she wanted me to come over for an interview."
When Yue Cangqiong heard that she was a girl, she felt a little headache. She thought it would be better if she wasn't Zhuge Peiyu's sister, so she walked to the outside of the inn without saying anything. The waiter had been waiting for a long time, and she saw Xie Rendeng and others.
When he arrived, he hurriedly went in to invite people: "Thank you, Master, please come quickly, our landlady has been waiting for a long time."
The two of them walked into the inn and saw a woman in white coming down the stairs. She gave them a slight bow and said, "It turns out to be Hall Master Xie. Please take a seat."
Yue Cangqiong saw that she was wearing makeup, spoke generously, and had a sense of arrogance in the corner of her eyes and eyebrows, but she was not an ordinary woman. The weirdest thing was that she always felt like she had seen her before somewhere, so she stood behind Xie Rendeng and couldn't help but take a closer look.
Xie Rendeng sat down and said, "Madam boss, I heard that a number of people were killed in the inn recently, but I don't know why. If there is anything we need help with at Jingji Sect, just ask."
But the landlady didn't agree, she just sighed and said: "They say this place is a mixed bag of people and not a place for doing business. I regret that I should have taken on this business in the first place. But since I promised to take care of everything, I have to do my duty."
Take care of everything, our Jiulong Gang can get this inn here, but your sect acquiesced at the beginning, how could someone step on it out of thin air now, Hall Master Xie, you have to give us an explanation."
After hearing what the other party said, Yue Cangqiong suddenly thought of one person in his mind, but it was Lin Piaopiao, who was always entangled with Sikong Chen. The two looked so similar, could it be that the boss lady here was actually Lin Piaopiao.
I met Zhuge Peiyu before, and she looked very similar to Lin Piaopiao. I haven't figured out the relationship between the two of them, but now there is a boss lady who looks very similar to her. It's really strange. [ ~]
Yue Cangqiong was distracted for a moment and did not hear clearly what the two of them were talking about. In the end, he only heard Xie Rendeng cupping his hands and saying, "I'll keep it with you." Then he stood up and left. Before they parted, Yue Cangqiong looked at the landlady a few more times.
There was nothing unusual about his expression, so he felt a little relieved, thinking that there really are such coincidences in the world.
After settling the matter at the inn, the two of them headed back. Yue Cangqiong calculated that it had been four or five days since he had been out alone, so he wanted to leave this place, meet up with Su Yanzi and the others, and continue to rush to Taixuanmen. He immediately asked some questions about Taixuanmen.
Regarding the matter, I planned to leave.
"Young Master, are you going to leave now?" Xie Rendeng asked symbolically, without holding back, "I will do what we discussed, and I hope that one day, Young Master, you can return to the Jingji Sect and show off your talents.
"
"I'd like to lend you some good words." Yue Cangqiong said goodbye with his hands in hand, and they parted ways.
He was rushing out of the city in a hurry when suddenly a figure passed in front of him, vaguely a female figure. He kept waving in front of him, as if he wanted to follow. Yue Qianqiong frowned and thought to himself, who is this? How could he find it?
Get on yourself.
Full of doubts, he followed behind, raising his senses at the same time to be wary of a sneak attack. He simply followed all the way and came to an alley. There was no one waiting for him. The woman stood in the alley, turned around to face him, pulled down the white gauze on her face,
He smiled and said, "We meet again. How is Sikong Chen today?"
Yue Cangqiong saw that it was the boss lady he had met before. Now that she had taken off her makeup, she was clearly the killer Lin Piaopiao. He immediately said in shock: "Why is it you? Is it possible that you are still thinking about Sikong Chen and what kind of tricks are you trying to do?"
"Look what you said, I saved your lives last time and was sent to guard this shabby inn by my eldest sister. Honestly, the murder case in the inn is related to you. If you don't tell the truth, I may not be done with you.
"
"What, you're still scaring me?" Yue Cangqiong said with a look of disdain, "To tell the truth, so what if I did it?"
"Then don't blame me for being rude. If you offend our Jiulong Gang, you won't get any good results." Lin Piaopiao's face changed, and she seemed angry.
Yue Cang Qiong secretly said that you, young lady, are all being played by me, and you are still afraid that you are just Lin Piaopiao. He raised his left hand and was about to raise the Shattering Dust Knife. Suddenly, he heard a noise outside the alley, vaguely like Sikong Chen's voice.
.
Not just him, Lin Piaopiao's expression also changed drastically. No one had thought that Sikong Chen would appear at this time, just across the alley. Yue Cangqiong was afraid that he heard wrongly, and secretly ordered the gods of all phenomena to use the gods to
After a quick scan, it was confirmed that not only Sikong Chen, but also Su Yanzi, Xia Houyan, and Han Tong'er were outside.
It seems they are all here!
Yue Cangqiong looked helpless, looked at Lin Piaopiao and asked: "What a coincidence, your old enemy is outside. Do you want to go out to meet him and discuss how to deal with him?"
Without waiting for Lin Piaopiao's reply, he jumped out of the alley, climbed over the wall and came to the other side, where he saw Sikong Chen arguing with someone on the street: "Boss, this thing of yours is too expensive, can it be cheaper?"
You can sell the sleeve arrows for ten silver coins, or six coins less."
But it turned out that I was buying something and bargaining with someone. The hawker said unwillingly: "No, uncle! Your bargaining is too outrageous!"
Sikong Chen waved his hand, took out six silver coins and spread them out in his palm, "That's all. The deal is yours, otherwise you would still be here."
Next to him, Xia Houyan shook his head and sighed, and said helpfully: "This uncle, please take pity on him and help him this time."
The hawker gritted his teeth helplessly: "That's all, for the sake of this girl, I only gave you six silver coins. You really made a profit at a loss."
Sikong Chen was overjoyed when he got the treasure. He hid the arrow in his sleeve and slightly exposed the tip of the arrow, as if he wanted to test his skills. He crossed the sky and quietly came up behind him, slapped his shoulder hard and said, "Okay.
What baby are you so happy about?"
Sikong Chen reacted very quickly. He waved his hand and was about to shoot an arrow at Yue Cang Qiong. But when he took a closer look, it turned out to be Yue Cang Qiong. Then he dropped his hand again and sighed: "Really, I was just saying that I was going to find you. You
But it was delivered to my door. To be honest, where have you been having fun these days?"
"Don't talk about me yet. Your old enemy is here and has become the boss's wife here. Do you want to meet her?"
"Who? You mean Lin Piaopiao?" Sikong Chen looked around when he heard this, with an air of frightened bird.
Yue Cangqiong turned around and was about to point to the alley behind him when the figure in front of him flashed, but Su Yanzi grabbed it and said excitedly: "Brother Cangqiong, why are you here?"
"I finished my work and came out for a walk. Why did you come out early?" Yue Cangqiong was stopped by Su Yanzi, so he had to change his question. Sikong Chenfei also walked into the alley to find Lin Piaopiao.
Tong'er came over with a pile of medicinal materials in her arms and asked, "Why, where did Sikong Chen go? He's like a monkey."
Yue Cangqiong smiled and said: "Of course he went to find his old sweetheart, Lin Piaopiao."
Xia Houyan said: "Sikong is always so energetic. Now that I have met you, why don't you tell me what you are going to do next?"
"Of course we're going to Taixuanmen. If you don't want to go, you can stay and take a stroll. Anyway, this place is quite lively, but it's just a mixed bag of people. Be careful of getting into trouble." Yue Cangqiong thought for a moment and said.
"Are you still leaving?" Su Yanzi said with some disappointment.
"We have been delayed for a long time. In order to deal with Wang Jianzhong, I have to work hard without stopping, so everyone has worked hard." Yue Cangqiong said in a low voice.
At this time, Sikong Chente ran back in despair, shaking his head: "What? There is no one at all. Qianqiong, are you lying to me?"
"They must have run away, but it's a pity that you are unlucky." Yue Cang Qiong scolded him.
However, at this time, some strangers with ill intentions were quietly gathering on the street.
