Li Huaiyun raised his hand to stop, and then took out the token of the Demon Slayer Division, "Sister! We are here to investigate the case, so there is no need to disturb the oiran girls."
"Sister! Young Master's little mouth is so sweet!" The madam covered her mouth with a fan and snickered secretly. No young man had ever called her that. This call immediately made her feel twenty years younger.
"This trip is just to meet with the snow master and ask some questions! I have no other ideas."
"Then Master, please wait a moment! I will send someone to notify the Snow Master right now."
The happiness on the madam's face was hard to conceal.
After waiting for a while, Li Huaiyun and A Tian were led through the corridor in the yard to the wing where Master Xue was.
At this time, all the doors of the houses where the oiran of the Jiaofang Si lived were closed.
The White Deer Tower didn't disperse until midnight last night, and basically everyone was resting.
The door to the wing room was pushed open, and Li Huaiyun went in first. He saw the oiran sitting at the table, with disheveled hair, disheveled clothes, and no appearance at all.
When Master Xue saw that the person who came in was actually Li Huaiyun, she was startled. She stood up in a hurry, looking panicked, and then arranged her hair and clothes with her hands, "Li... Mr. Li! Why are you here?" , they said you were the one from the Demon Slayer Division?"
She shouted the maid's name several times outside, but found no one responded, "Where did Cuiping go? She hasn't seen anyone since last night, and she's not here this morning either."
"Mr. Li, you sit down first and I'll clean it up. It's hard to see people in such a mess."
Li Huaiyun waved his hand and said with a serious face, "Miss Snow Master, no need, I'm here to tell you something! By the way, I want to ask a few questions. You must tell the truth, otherwise, the Demon Slayer Division can only invite you to go. Just one trip."
When Master Xue saw Li Huaiyun's attitude, the people following him also had serious faces, and she couldn't help but feel nervous. She shrank cautiously, leaned her entire upper body forward, and lowered her head, "Yes! The little lady must tell the truth. .”
Li Huaiyun glanced at the plump mountain peaks under the transparent green shirt. He coughed lightly, suppressed his impulse, and then asked her about the maid named Cuiping, "Have you ever noticed anything about her? Strange place?"
Master Xue felt a little nervous and said in a deep voice, "Strange...strange? That's not true! Sometimes, for no apparent reason, I'm not in the building, and I don't know where to go!"
"But she comes back soon, and sometimes she goes out in the middle of the night! She seems to have a place to live outside. I guess she must be living with some man!"
It was true that she was living with a man, but instead of living together, she was luring other women to go to that house.
Li Huaiyun then asked some other questions. These questions were relatively ordinary, and the maid's behavior was also quite normal.
He pondered for a moment and asked, "Then has she ever entrusted something to you?"
"Ah!" Master Xue was suddenly startled, and then asked timidly, "Master Li, where did you learn about it?"
Li Huaiyun and A Tian looked at each other, and as expected, he immediately said to Master Xue, "What did I give you? Show me that thing quickly!"
Master Xue saw that both of them were very eager, so he turned around hurriedly, took out a box from under the bed, opened it, and flipped it over. As a result, he let out a loud sound.
Li Huaiyun and A Tian looked at each other in unison, "What's wrong?"
The snow master held the box and said in a trembling voice, "It's gone! That thing is gone! How could it be missing? I remember putting it in this wooden box.
Li Huaiyun said in a deep voice, "Did I remember it wrong, or maybe I forgot to put it somewhere else."
"Uh!" She looked panicked, and then looked at Li Huaiyun, "This is impossible! I obviously put it in here."
A Tian frowned, "It was indeed taken away! Since it's not here, where will the fox demon put the things?"
"It should still be in this room!" Li Huaiyun said calmly, "This fox demon is just playing a trick."
He said to the snow master, "Look for all the places where things are hidden!"
Master Xue lay back on the bed again, bending his back to them. The sight of his plump and graceful figure made people's hearts swell.
A Tian asked in confusion, "Ah Yun, why are you so sure? What else is the fox demon trying to do?"
Li Huaiyun said with a smile, "The fox demon returned to Fengxin Tower with only one purpose, to hide the things again, so that if someone found out about Master Xue, she would not be able to find the thing and would think that she had done it herself. Lost."
"That's it! We thought it took the thing away, but in fact the thing was always in the house."
A Tian pinched the handle of the knife heavily, "This fox demon is indeed cunning!"
Probably studied psychology! Anticipate other people’s predictions!
Master Xue searched all over again where she kept her things, and finally found the things the maid had given her in a box.
She walked forward happily and handed the thing over, "This is it!"
This is a jade carving the size of an index finger. It is similar to the jade carving found in the living room of the Ministry of War official's home. The carving looks quite weird.
Li Huaiyun took the jade sculpture and looked at it carefully. He couldn't remember what it looked like before, but after entering the room, he finally guessed what the jade sculpture looked like.
This jade as big as an index finger was carved like a dry branch, just like the withered osmanthus tree. It also reminded him that the man in black robe from before was also close to the trunk of the willow tree, and then slowly disappeared.
He said to A Tian, "This jade sculpture is shaped like a tree trunk, so it must be related to the man in black robe!"
With this thing, it should be easy to separate the two of them.
"Snow Master! You maid, have you ever told you what this jade carving is for?"
Master Xue shook his head, "She didn't say what this thing is used for. She only said that this jade carving was found in one place and it can guarantee the safety of one party."
"Where?"
The snow master shook his head again. "have no idea!"
"She just asked you to keep it? Didn't you say why?"
Master Xue thought for a while and sighed, "They are all women from poor families. They just save some money for themselves. If something happens in the future, they can use this as some money to tide over the difficulties."
"Okay! I understand!" Li Huaiyun nodded and said to A Tian, "Let's go!"
"Wait a minute!" Master Xue showed a confused look, grabbed Li Huaiyun's sleeves and asked, "Sir, what happened to Cuiping? Why does the Demon Slayer Division want to investigate her."
Li Huaiyun shook his head helplessly and could only tell the specific things.
"What are you talking about, Cuiping is a monster?" Master Xue couldn't believe her ears. This was the maid she had been with for several years, and she had known her day and night. After knowing that the maid was a monster, she couldn't believe the fact.
"Sir, did you make a mistake somewhere?"
"This is the fact. The target set by the Demon Slayer Division will not be wrong."
"But she has been with me for several years and has been doing very well. If she was a monster, how could I survive until now."
Li Huaiyun knew that it was difficult for this woman to accept this fact. The person who had lived with him for a long time and loved her as a sister was indeed a monster. It would be difficult for anyone else to accept this.
His hand fell on Master Xue's snow-white and tender shoulders, "This monster is not harmful, but has other motives. I hope you accept this fact."
"Now that I'm like this, I feel very confused!" she said, with tears streaming down her face.
Li Huaiyun winked at Ah Angel and motioned for him to go out and wait a moment while he had something to say to the oiran.
A Tian glanced at Li Huaiyun and understood his hint. He held the scabbard, turned around and left Master Xue's wing, and gently closed the door.
Li Huaiyun watched A Tian leave the wing, reached out to Master Xue's waist, and hugged the plump body. His tears made this haggard woman even more charming and charming.
He gently wiped the tears on Master Xue's face, "Don't cry, don't cry! Without that maid, wouldn't there still be me?"
"With you?" Master Xue felt angry out of nowhere when he thought of this, "You are a dishonest and unkind person."
"How do you say this!"
"Last night you asked Sister Lan and I to play chess against each other. You also said that if you break a chess piece, you would have to take off a piece of clothing. But then we finished taking off your clothes, but you disappeared. You didn't come back until this morning. You asked me to play chess with you. Sister Lan has been waiting so hard."
"Come back now for other things, huh!" Master Xue frowned and glared at Li Huaiyun with a look of resentment, "Don't you think you are making fun of us?"
"I am a monster hunter. I left just to protect the safety of Bailu Tower. Do you think I am taking pleasure in you?"
When Master Xue heard this, he was speechless and threw himself directly into his arms. He kept twisting his graceful body and acting coquettishly, and then started to cry again.
Li Huaiyun's hand on her waist squeezed gently, "Stop crying! You're crying, but no one dares to come to your place."
"Master Li, you are making fun of the slave family!" Master Xue pursed his lips with a shy look on his face.
"Okay!" Li Huaiyun pushed the plump body away from his arms, "I have something important to do, so I won't stay any longer!"
"Then the young master will come in the evening?"
"It's tonight!" Li Huaiyun looked embarrassed, "I can't say for sure, you know it's not very stable these days. If you have free time, you will definitely come here to get together."
He said with a smirk on his face, "When the time comes, you can also call the Yilan Courtesan. Wouldn't it be beautiful for the two of them to be together!"
Li Huaiyun thought in his mind, if the two courtesans are together, I only need to buy a portion of the tea bag. This will save a fortune. I am really smart.
Master Xue's face turned gloomy, "If the young master comes here, he can't let us two women lie in bed chatting until dawn without doing anything like last night."
Li Huaiyun smiled calmly, "Oiran, you are worrying too much! I promise not to do such a ridiculous thing."
"It's really important, farewell!" Before leaving, Li Huaiyong patted the plump buttocks vigorously. After hearing the sweet cry, he left the room with satisfaction.
A Tian was waiting outside. When he saw Li Huaiyun coming out, he smiled and asked, "How's it going?"
"Run!"
They left the Fengxin Tower and walked on the street.
A Tian asked doubtfully, "What is the purpose of this jade carving?"
"It should have many functions! It's not just about shielding various special auras."
"Where should we go next? Find out from the fox demon?"
"No! That fox demon has no fear of death. If you want to ask something from its mouth, it's unlikely that you should start with the Ministry of War official. After all, this bastard still has many lives on his hands."
A Tian said angrily, "This guy's crime must not be punished!"
