After a brief look, a preliminary result was given.
"Well, let's check the people in the city lord's mansion. It's very likely that the assassin is among them."
"Sir, you don't seem surprised?"
Seeing that Hu Yunqing had no other expression, Han Kedi asked him doubtfully, as if everything was known in advance.
"It's normal. We are new here, and Bai Shangyi is an important person. He is also here to supervise them. People like this end up in places like brothels."
"Even Bai Shangyi knows that if he doesn't do this, he won't survive."
Hu Yunqing met Bai Shangyi alone last night. Bai Shangyi also knew that he regretted it and told the whole story.
Two people were mentioned. One was the owner of the brothel. When he went there for the first time, the boss didn't charge him. He said that since Bai Shangyi worked for the court, he didn't have to pay at all to come to the brothel. He also promised that he would do the same in the future.
This was the main reason why he got stuck.
The second is Wu Sangui from the military camp outside the city. As a new arrival, he must establish a good relationship with the people here. Wu Sangui also brought him to this place.
After listening to Bai Shangyi's self-narration for an hour, Hu Yunqing combined some of his guesses and understood some things.
Hu Yunqing, who already knew the matter, could say that Bai Shangyi's life was dispensable to him.
"I'm going to check the people in the mansion right now, and I'll make sure to dig out the mastermind behind it!"
After listening to Hu Yunqing's words, Han Kedi didn't understand. He thought that he might as well catch the person who poisoned him.
Hu Yunqing came to the lobby and quietly looked at the books and waited.
"Sir, it was this woman who poisoned me."
Juan walked in with a woman, threw the woman to the ground hard, and reported to Hu Yunqing.
"What are you doing? Girl, are you okay?"
Seeing that Huan was so rude, Hu Yunqing thought that Xiao Yi would not be gentle to ladies, so he would not teach Huan anything.
He quickly stood up and walked forward, helped the woman on the ground up and asked.
The woman looked at Hu Yunqing's handsome face, especially his eyes, which made her unable to move.
"Master. I am also forced to have no choice. If we don't do things for them, our whole family will die."
To control others, Duolong means taking the other person's most important thing so that the other person does not dare to have any thoughts of rebellion.
"Tell me, who is the person threatening you? I can promise not to kill you."
Hu Yunqing looked at the woman in front of him with fear in her eyes, patted his shoulder and asked.
"I can't say it, you might as well kill me."
The woman looked at Hu Yunqing, then knelt on the ground and cried.
"You are looking for death! My lord, I asked Han Kedi to come over and use Dongchang's criminal method once, and I won't believe that she won't do it!"
Seeing that all the adults in her family were like this, the woman didn't know how to show appreciation, so she angrily asked Hu Yunqing for instructions.
"Go, find her family and escort them to the house. Don't hurt them."
Hu Yunqing saw that the woman was helpless and knew that the other party's weakness was her family, so she quickly asked Juan to pick her up.
"If you can guarantee the safety of my family, I am willing to tell you everything I know."
"Boss Zhang from Dingcuilou is here!"
Just when the woman was shaken, there was a call from outside, which directly made the woman's face turn pale.
"Who are you?"
Hu Yunqing motioned to Huan to take the person down. After the person was taken away, Hu Yunqing saw Boss Zhang and asked.
"I'm just a common man, just trying to make ends meet."
"Well, then why did you come to me?"
Seeing that the other party turned out to be the boss of Dingcui Building, Dingcui Building was also the place where he arrested Bai Shangyi yesterday. If there were ordinary people in that place, Hu Yunqing would not believe it.
Seeing Boss Zhang's flattering expression, he asked impatiently.
"Please take a look at this first."
Boss Zhang did not directly state his purpose, but placed the account book on the table in front of Hu Yunqing and sat back in his chair.
"Well, show me what this means?"
Hu Yunqing took a look at the account book and found that there was running water on it, and the amount was huge. He thought that Bai Shangyi had not spent any money in the brothel before, so he was waiting here.
Put the account book on the table and pretend not to understand.
"Sir, we are all sensible people. This account is Bai Qianhu's bill at our Dingcui Tower. It is said to be paid by the court. Are you right, Mr. Hu?"
Boss Zhang sitting opposite Hu Yunqing is Duolong who has changed his identity.
"Sorry, sir, that woman just fell into a well."
Just when Hu Yunqing was about to answer, Huan ran in anxiously, ignoring Boss Zhang next to him, and anxiously reported to Hu Yunqing.
"What? How could this happen? You just said it well."
Hu Yunqing stood up from the chair and asked with a look of disbelief.
"It's absolutely true, the bodies are being fished out now."
"It seems that there is something going on in the master's house, so I'll come back to bother you some other time."
After Duolong heard this, he could not conceal his happiness, and he coughed quickly and said to Hu Yunqing.
"Let's go."
A guard took Boss Zhang away.
"What happened? How could you suddenly commit suicide?"
After everyone left, Hu Yunqing asked Huan in confusion.
"I don't know. I felt something was wrong with my expression just after I left here."
"Okay, I get it. Ask the two brothers to keep an eye on Dingcui Tower and report any situation in a timely manner."
Hu Yunqing understood everything and explained a few words to Huan.
"clear."
Juan looked at Boss Zhang who was leaving, as if he understood what Hu Yunqing meant, and hurried down to make arrangements.
As soon as Boss Zhang left the city lord's mansion, he happily got on the carriage. When he was going back, Zui Li also hummed a ditty.
After returning to Dingcui Tower, Duolong asked his boss to notify Li Su.
"Sir, our master said that everything you have to do has been taken care of for you."
Li Su, who was enjoying himself, heard that everything was done, but he didn't expect that Duolong was quite capable.
There is no point in staying here by yourself. You have to go back and recover.
He stood up reluctantly and looked at the beauties in the room on the bed. It seemed that he would be the only one to enjoy it next time.
After getting dressed neatly, he walked out of Dingcui Tower. Huan, who had just arrived at the door, was also surprised when he saw Li Su walking out of it.
Looking at the way the madam said goodbye, Li Su seemed to be a regular visitor here. Let the two of them continue to stare, while he goes back to report.
After returning to the military camp, Li Su put the horse in the stable and prepared to go back to his room to rest. The struggle this night was no less than fighting a big battle.
"General Li, you just came back. Where have you gone? Why are you so weak now?"
