"Wangshang had a junior sister named Wen Yueying. She was originally Princess Wanwan's head guard. Later she felt that the palace was too boring and begged her senior sister to agree to send her disciple Wu Niang to replace her. But she did not leave Prince Xing's palace and still secretly Serving Princess Wanwan." Xu Mao slowly said after a pause.
"Wen Yueying is quite obsessed with spices. She knew I wanted to come here from Taiyuan before, and she asked me to collect famous products from the north and bring them to her. In Prince Xing's Mansion, she praised Su Kaishi's refined incense 'Seven-Colored Rainbow' several times. He even boasted that no famous product from the north can match it." After Xu Mao finished speaking, he glanced sideways at Wang Qian and Wang Qi'an, as if to say, I believe I am not prevaricating you now.
Wang Qian and Ji Wurui looked at each other meaningfully, and the latter was even more surprised, because based on his intelligence network, he had never heard of Wen Yueying, let alone her identity and hobbies.
It seems that Su Kaishi said that the "Seven-Colored Rainbow" was collected in large quantities by the Wedding Palace, probably in large part at Wen Yueying's request.
"Of course this alone doesn't mean anything, but if you know Wen Yueying's sword and palm skills, you won't have any doubts anymore." Xu Maozai aroused their curiosity.
"In addition to the sharp and cunning swordsmanship passed down by her master, Wen Yueying also acquired a powerful palm technique through an adventure. No one could have imagined that a charming woman could strike with such force. Only a handful of people who know this can do it. But if I hadn’t happened to hear about this case today, no matter how hard you try, you would never have thought that the murderer was only one person, not two." Xu Maoxiang said with great pride as he revealed something that only he knew. .
"Where is Wen Yueying now?" Wang Qian asked.
"King Wending Liu Hongbi has a summer retreat on the bank of the Dongjiang River in Xingwangfu City. Wen Yueying often lives there. However, as far as I know, she has at least two concubines in the city. One is Qingsong, the junior disciple of the chief instructor of Yijian Dojo. The other one is Liu Heqi, the boss of Tingfeng Tower, the largest restaurant in the city. Both of them have appeared in the Summer Resort." Xu Mao replied.
"Your Excellency, you can leave with peace of mind!" Wang Qian said after a moment of silence.
"Brother Wang, this person's words have not been confirmed..." Seeing that Wang Qi'an really wanted to let him go, Ji Wurui couldn't help but want to say something to stop him.
"Brother Ji, there is no need to be more suspicious. I believe he can't make up such words at the moment." Wang Qi'an stopped Ji Wurui.
Xu Mao looked at the two of them suspiciously, and after confirming that they had no intention of stopping them, he stood up and walked slowly towards the temple entrance.
"Let's follow him and see where he is going!" Wang Qian said.
"It turns out that Brother Wang didn't really believe what he said." Ji Wurui said happily.
"I think what he said may not be all lies, but he might not be so kind to tell us all the facts." Wang Qi'an said.
After Xu Mao walked out of the mountain temple, he found that Wang Qi'an and the others did not follow him.
After identifying the direction, he first walked a certain distance southeast, then turned back, and then quickly left along the southwest direction.
Although his skills were restrained, his body speed was still faster than ordinary people.
"He's going back to Prince Xing's Mansion, isn't he afraid of falling into Wu Niang's hands again?" Ji Wurui couldn't help but wonder when she saw that he was not escaping far away, but was walking back to the city.
"He should find someone to help him unlock the martial arts restrictions!" Wang Qian guessed.
About an hour later, the city gate was in sight. However, it was not the city gate opening time at this time, and he was seen taking out an object. The city guard did not dare to stop him when he saw it, and immediately opened the city gate to let him in.
Things like entering the city were naturally not a problem for Ji Wu Rui.
Xu Mao came to a five-story building located at a key location on the main street in the city.
"Tingfeng Tower, shopkeeper Liu Heqi." Ji Wurui said.
According to what Xu Mao told them, Liu Heqi should be one of Wen Wuying's mistresses.
What's he doing here?
Although it was late at night, the building was still brightly lit and noisy.
Xu Mao entered Tingfeng Building and saw that the lobby on the first floor was vast. At this time, nearly two-thirds of the seats were still full, which showed that business was booming.
He walked to the counter and talked in a low voice with the shopkeeper. Then he saw the shopkeeper calling a waiter and giving some instructions, and then the waiter took Xu Mao upstairs.
The Tingfeng Building is uniquely built. The first floor is a hall, the second and fourth floors are ordinary private rooms, and there are no rooms on the third floor. The four corners are only supported by four giant pillars. It is ventilated on all sides and is open. You can feel the cold night wind here. There are only three independent large rooms on the fifth floor, leaving the east side empty for a pavilion with flowers and trees.
At this time, Xu Mao was taken to the north wing. After the waiter came in and announced, he heard a string of laughter coming from the room, and then a pleasant female voice joked: "Master Xu will not be the guest of honor at my senior sister's place. But she came to Tingfeng Tower to look for me. If she blames me for seducing her man, I will be wronged! Come in quickly!"
Xu Mao then pushed the door open and entered.
In addition to a gorgeously dressed woman in the room, there was also a fat man with a bloated body and a face full of flesh. The two of them were sitting on the couch a few steps apart, drinking and chatting.
When he saw Xu Mao coming in, not only was he not jealous, but he smiled at him to show his goodwill.
Although the beautiful woman has reached the age of a lady, her figure is graceful, her face is charming, and her charm is still there. No wonder this fat man wanted to be around.
"I have a secret matter to discuss with you, senior sister. I'm afraid I have to ask Master Liu to stay away for a while!" Xu Mao looked directly at the gorgeous woman and said.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Since you two have something important to discuss, Heqi will go and have a quickie on the third floor first!" It turns out that this fat man is Liu Heqi, the head of Tingfeng Tower, and he lives up to his name.
After Liu Heqi went out, the gorgeous woman put away her flattery and said coldly: "You know that our fellow apprentices and sisters have always been at odds. I don't care about anything related to her."
"I wonder if Miss Yueying cares about "Baopuzi"?" Xu Maoruo said nonchalantly.
This woman turned out to be Wen Yueying, the junior sister of the Supreme Master.
"What did you say?" Wen Yueying was surprised when she heard the words "Baopuzi".
"I already know that you kidnapped Taoist Xuan Yi from Taiping Temple. I think you did this because you were interested in the book "Baopuzi" that was rumored to be hidden inside the temple." Xu Mao observed as he spoke Wen Yueying's expression changed.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I've never heard of Taipingguan or Xuanyi." Wen Yueying looked confused.
"It seems that I guessed wrong. Since there was a misunderstanding, Miss Yueying will just pretend that I have never been here and leave now!" Xu Mao said.
"Sect Master Xu, stay!" Seeing Xu Maozhen preparing to leave the room, Wen Yueying could not help but hurriedly persuade him to stay.
Wen Yueying stood up and got off the couch, approached Xu Mao, Meixiao took his arm, and pulled him to sit down where Liu Heqi had been.
"Zong Master Xu's anxious temper has not changed at all! Where did you hear this news? Could it be that my senior sister told you that you have wronged the slave family so much?" Wen Yueying changed a wine glass on the table and poured some wine for Xu Mao. , whispered softly.
