After a night of carnival, Shi Qinghuan almost stayed up all night.
Finally, looking at the happy crowd, he sat down under the tree, and unknowingly, he leaned on Bailiheng's shoulder and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Shi Qinghuan and the other three said goodbye to everyone and went to a neighboring city.
The magistrate accompanied him, and when he got to the government office, he went straight to the prison.
"How are Sun Peng these days?"
"According to the order of the magistrate, we have been strictly guarding him. He also made noises to go out, but we ignored him."
"Um."
Following the magistrate to the cell door, he saw Sun Peng lying inside.
But something strange is that they made a lot of noise, but Sun Peng didn't react at all.
Something is wrong.
Shi Qinghuan and Bailiheng looked at each other and reacted immediately.
"Open the door quickly!"
The officer quickly opened the cell, Zhang Yue went in to check, and Bailiheng pulled Shi Qinghuan behind him.
As expected, Zhang Yue went in to investigate and shook his head at Shi Qinghuan.
"died."
What?
Everyone was shocked, and the guard immediately knelt down and said, "Sir, this is impossible. Our people have been guarding this place day and night. Not even a fly has come in, let alone anyone." .”
Shi Qinghuan realized something was wrong and entered the cell, with Bailiheng following closely behind him.
Sun Peng looked like he had just died, and there was indeed no external injury on his body, because he died of poisoning.
"Don't blame them."
Shi Qinghuan said and looked at the magistrate, "It is true that no outsiders have come in. The poison he was poisoned was not brought in in the past two days, but was taken for a long time."
Bailiheng understood immediately after hearing this, "Control."
"That's right, it's a poison specially used to control others. Take the antidote once every half month. If you don't have it, you will die from the poison. Sun Peng has been in prison for a few days, and it should be the time when he needs to detoxify."
"No wonder, he kept saying in prison that he would die if he was not released. That's what he meant."
After hearing what the jailer said, Shi Qinghuan and Bailiheng looked at each other, "Did he say where he was going? Or any other clues?"
The jailer thought for a moment, then shook his head, "No, I just said that sentence over and over again. We thought he was causing trouble, so we ignored him."
It seems that the person behind the scenes is really not simple.
As soon as Sun Peng died, the clues were lost.
Shi Qinghuan and Bailiheng had no choice but to be released from prison, and the subsequent matters were left to the prefect.
After leaving the government office, Shi Qinghuan followed Bailiheng to Ruyu Tower.
That was Bailiheng's intelligence point. When he was escorting Sun Peng, Zhang Yue came here in person to investigate the information related to Sun Peng. Now he just got a reply.
Looking at the information, Shi Qinghuan instantly caught the key points.
"Every fifteen days, I will go to Zuixian Tower to find my old friend Fang Fang."
The 15th!
Antidote!
The two understood each other.
"It seems that I am going to meet this fragrant girl."
"That's right." Shi Qinghuan looked at himself, "Wait until I change my clothes."
In the afternoon, Shi Qinghuan had already put on men's clothes again, and went directly to Zuixian Tower with Bailiheng.
As soon as the two entered Zuixian Tower, they attracted a lot of attention.
The two of them stood side by side, one was a handsome young man with unparalleled handsomeness, the other was dignified, cold and beautiful. In an instant, the landlady personally came down to entertain them.
"Two young gentlemen, please come in. I see that you two have extraordinary demeanor and must be no ordinary people. Please invite me to the private room later. When the wine and food are ready, I will let the girls come up."
Bailiheng frowned and tried his best to avoid the landlady, but Shi Qinghuan was like a regular customer and lost his money.
"Just do whatever you want. What we don't lack is money."
This time the landlady smiled happily and said, "Okay."
After sending the two of them to the private room, the landlady quickly went down to prepare.
Shi Qinghuan first looked around from the window, then checked around again, then looked at Bailiheng, and then was stunned.
Because Bailiheng looked a little bad at this moment. He was sitting upright and his face was very dark.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"nothing!"
Seeing Bailiheng's tough talk, Shi Qinghuan understood instantly, half-lying on the table, and looked at Bailiheng with interest.
"This isn't your first time in a place like this, is it?"
It's okay not to ask. After asking, he didn't get the answer, but Bailiheng looked over carefully.
“What do you mean by that, you’ve been here a lot?”
"Yes, this kind of place has all three religions and nine schools, and it is very well-informed. It is very beneficial to come and visit occasionally."
Hearing this, Bailiheng's face turned darker. Just as he was about to say something more, the door was knocked, and then the food and drinks were brought in.
Immediately afterwards, a squealing sound came, and several beautiful figures rushed out from the door.
With the fragrance, they surrounded Shi Qinghuan and Bailiheng.
"Young master, let the servants take good care of you two today."
"Yes, sir, come and have a drink."
"Sir, eat some of this!"
For a moment, the room was filled with the warm fragrance of nephrite.
Just as Shi Qinghuan was dealing with them, Bailiheng slammed the table.
There was a cold aura all over his body, his face was extremely blue and black, and his whole person looked fierce. The girls were instantly frightened and dispersed.
Shi Qinghuan was also shocked.
But for some reason, she felt a little happy in her heart when she saw his expression of refusing to let strangers in.
But at the moment, clichés are the most important thing.
"Oh brother, since you are here, why are you so formal?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bailiheng raised his eyes, and his face turned darker when he saw her enjoying herself so freely.
Naturally, Shi Qinghuan didn't dare to make trouble for himself, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Girls, come to my place. My brother doesn't understand the style and is only interested in drinking. I'm different. I like it the most." She’s a beauty.”
Shi Qinghuan was already handsome and gentle, but now he was even more lovable.
The girls are all good at observing words and emotions, so they all came closer.
Shi Qinghuan took out his money bag and threw it directly on the table, "Girls, I know that you are not ordinary people, and you naturally know that not everyone who comes to this Zuixian Tower comes to you, but I believe that in this world, , I didn’t mess with Hui Hui and went there with Yinzi, don’t you think so?”
"That's natural. Everyone in this city doesn't know that our Zuixian Tower can do anything as long as we have money. But I don't know what you want, sir?"
"It's very simple. I ask you a few questions and answer them truthfully. These are yours!"
"Young Master, it's okay to ask."
Shi Qinghuan took out a piece of silver from his purse and asked, "First question, where is Miss Fang?"
"Fragrance, sir, you are a step too late. She was redeemed early this morning and left the city to fly away."
"Who redeemed her?"
"I don't know."
"Where is that fragrant room?"
"It's in the private room on the third floor. I just left this morning and haven't had time to clean it up yet, so it's still empty."
Shi Qinghuan nodded with satisfaction and threw the money out one after another.
"Then do you know if Miss Fang Fang has any regular customers?"
"Her appearance is mediocre, her business has not been very good, and she rarely has repeat customers."
"You forgot, there really is such a person, that Taoist priest."
"As soon as you mentioned it, I remembered that that man was in a hurry every time he came, as if he had not touched a woman for a long time and was about to die. When he left, his face was filled with red..."
Several people said this and smiled shyly, but Shi Qinghuan and Baili Heng looked at each other.
Right.
That being the case, you can start the second step.
