"What did the eldest son go out to do?"
Although Huangfu Xiaoyuan never said harsh words to her servants, her image of the blood-stained Ten Thousand Blades Sect has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no one dares to be presumptuous in front of her.
"Go back to Miss Third, the young master is looking for someone."
The attendant bravely told Huangfu Xiaoyuan about Shangluo and Qi Li. The latter just frowned slightly and said: "You are still so out of touch with your work. Have you investigated the details about Miss Li?"
"No, not at all." The attendant lowered his head. As Huangfu Lingyun's bodyguard, he naturally knew what his master's temperament was like. He had a chivalrous heart, courage, and good kung fu. It must be his brain.
He does things based on his likes and dislikes, never considering the situation of others digging holes for him, which also makes these attendants of the Huangfu family often punished for this.
Huangfu Lingyun is strong and strong, and he doesn't care about food and fights. These servants don't have such thick skin. Every time the young master gets into trouble, he and his servants will also be punished. Fortunately, he still knows how to show sympathy to his subordinates, so this counts. In disguise, let him cause less trouble.
"Go and check." Huangfu Xiaoyuan left behind two simple words and turned around to leave.
The attendants did not dare to disobey and quickly sent people to investigate Shangluo's background.
...
At this time, Huangfu Lingyun and the others had already left the city in a swaggering manner, relying on the name of their Huangfu family.
It's not that the Jinyi guards didn't dare to stop them, but after the news was reported to Lu Hanjiang, he ordered them to be let go, leaving a few people to keep an eye on their whereabouts.
Not to mention that Lu Hanjiang has no interest in catching Qi Li, let's just say that the Huangfu family and the three major Jianghu aristocratic families are not just talk. To put it bluntly, if they are really involved in this matter, then the people in his hands will Not enough to deal with either.
He simply raised his hand and let them figure it out on their own. He had more important things to do here.
"Sir, this blade is sharp but leaves such rough marks. I boldly speculate that this person does not have a weapon in his hand."
The speaker was an elderly Jinyiwei named Nanzhou, who was one of the hundred households guarding the south of the Yangtze River. He was mature and prudent. Because of his age and extraordinary knowledge, he was specially invited by Lu Hanjiang to investigate.
They were now in the mountain temple where Ying Wushang was repulsed that day. Only half of the ruined temple was left, and traces of the battle were everywhere.
Nanzhou and his subordinates continued to search for any possible clues in the mountain temple. Lu Hanjiang stood outside, looking at the half-cut wall, slightly lost in thought.
He had seen a lot of swordsmen, but not many were as strong as this. Lu Hanjiang himself had also traveled around the world, and several possible figures flashed through his mind from time to time.
The sword technique was full of blood evil energy. The first thing Lu Hanjiang thought of was the leader of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, known as the King of Swordsmen. His blood magic sword technique was unparalleled in the world. Unfortunately, the possibility of him being this person was very low.
After all, Jiangnan is the territory of the Huangfu family, and the hatred between him and the Huangfu family cannot be resolved with a misunderstanding. There is no point in being hunted down by the Huangfu family again just for a small swordsman. After all, he threw down thousands of swords back then. The door ran away, but Lu Hanjiang didn't think he would be so stupid.
But if it weren't for him...
Lu Hanjiang shook his head. There were many suspects, but there was still no conclusive evidence to confirm. This was really troublesome.
"Sir, we have discovered something!"
Lu Hanjiang's thoughts were interrupted, and Nanzhou quickly came out of the mountain temple, holding a delicate small box in his hand.
Ying Wushang stepped forward to take the box and opened it. A smell of fragrance hit his face. He frowned. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he turned around and handed it to Lu Hanjiang and said, "Sir, this is Rouge."
Several people in Nanzhou were a little excited. As long as they found out the origin of Rouge and followed the buyer's line, they would get results soon.
Lu Hanjiang just sniffed, a little surprised in his heart, and said: "Go to Xiangbaozhai."
Everyone was stunned, and Nanzhou glanced at Lu Hanjiang in surprise. He didn't expect that Mr. Lu was so proficient. Could it be that he had a good friend? Sure enough, Beijing officials are wealthy.
Ying Wushang came to his senses and said hurriedly: "I accept this order from my humble position."
The group of people immediately rushed to Xiangbaozhai's shop in the city. Lu Hanjiang turned over the rouge box in his hand and looked at it. Such an obvious clue seemed to be deliberately left to mislead them.
But he doesn't care. He has enough cards in his hand at the moment. Even if he is brought into the pit, he still has enough manpower to fill the pit. Besides -
The money from Xiangbaozhai in his hand seemed to have been used by some thief.
A group of royal guards rushed to Xiangbaozhai, but Lu Hanjiang did not come with them. Instead, he changed into regular clothes and went to Shangluo's residence with rouge in his pocket.
Unexpectedly, someone arrived before Lu Hanjiang. I saw the markings on their clothes at a glance. Was he from the Huangfu family?
Lu Hanjiang calmly stepped forward, but was stopped as expected. One of the attendants raised his hand to him and asked, "Brother, I just saw you coming here. Do you know this family?"
"Exactly," Lu Hanjiang returned the gift and said with a smile, "I'm here to find a business girl. I wonder how many of them are here?"
"Miss Shang?" Those people looked at each other, and one of them blurted out: "Isn't the family here surnamed Li? We just found out that a father and daughter surnamed Li live here."
Lu Hanjiang pretended to be surprised and said: "Is this so? But I met the girl earlier and said her surname was Shang."
"This..." The attendants looked at each other and felt something was wrong.
One of them hurriedly said to Lu Hanjiang: "This matter is strange. Brother, can you come with me to Huangfu's house? My master has something to ask about that girl."
"Of course." Lu Hanjiang followed the attendants of the Huangfu family obediently. He really didn't expect that Shangluo would actually get involved with the Huangfu family. Now things got really interesting.
It has to be said that the Huangfu family still has a decent manner in dealing with others. No matter how urgent the matter is, they still have the proper etiquette. Lu Hanjiang was already drinking tea in their living room.
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Qiao, my master will be here soon." After the butler of Huangfu's family greeted the attendants and served tea, he waited quietly aside, like a sculpture.
I didn't expect that he would be able to meet the head of the Huangfu family now that he was dressed as a casual person. He was really lucky.
Speaking of which, the famous Huangfu Yushu and Lu Hanjiang had never met before, so it was strange that they met for the first time under such circumstances.
While sipping the tea, Lu Hanjiang clicked his tongue twice, looked at the butler and asked, "This tea is good, can I take some away with you later?"
The steward glanced at Lu Hanjiang in surprise. Obviously it was rude to ask for something like this. However, as the steward of the Huangfu family, he naturally wanted to maintain everyone's demeanor. He nodded and said, "If you like it, Master, of course you can."
"Thank you."
Finally, this trip was not in vain. Lu Hanjiang was sipping tea by himself, but his good mood was quickly interrupted by the sound of "Miss Miss".
"Mr. Qiao, I've been waiting for a long time. My master is here." The attendant said and moved out of the way. As soon as the graceful Huangfu Xiaoyuan stepped into the hall, she saw Lu Hanjiang's expression as he stood up and wanted to leave.
With a cold snort, Huangfu Xiaoyuan's expression turned cold to the naked eye, and the expressions of everyone present changed as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Lu Qianhu, what advice do you have at Huangfu's house today?"
