Because the crime scene was too tragic, Hua Yitang could only recruit the Gongzhuang Pavilion next to Yanchai Pavilion as a temporary investigation headquarters. By the way, he brought the unconscious Duan Hongning and Wu Zhengqing over. Lin Sui'an placed Duan Hongning on a soft couch to lie down. However, Wu Zhengqing did not receive this treatment and lay directly on the ground. After Fang Ke's diagnosis, the two men were probably intoxicated by incense, and it would probably take some time for them to wake up.
The Jing Sect disciples were very efficient. In less than a quarter of an hour, Wu Da, the head of the Yida government office, led a group of delinquents to the Sanhua Building and formed a solid building inside and outside.
Hua Yitang's first order was to ask Wu Da to take the shopkeeper to Gongzhuang Pavilion and inquire about the darkroom of Yanchai Pavilion.
The shopkeeper, surnamed Lu, was in his forties and had been running the Sanhua Building for ten years. He was frightened out of his wits, and his replies were inconsistent.
"Well, that darkroom has been abandoned a long time ago. I originally planned to open up the darkroom and the private room in a few days. I had demolished the secret door a few days ago, but I was busy with the Su family's night banquet in Suizhou and didn't take care of it for the moment. So First, I sent someone to make a paper screen according to the color of the wall to block it off - Hua, Huahuahua joined the army. I really don't know anything. I am just an honest businessman. I have an eighty-year-old mother on top and a A milk baby waiting to be fed..."
No wonder Shopkeeper Lu was so frightened. At this time, Hua Yitang was leaning on the desk, tapping his fan on his palm, his long eyelashes half-covering his pupils, and his eyes were thin and long. The snow-white robes of the light-smoking flowing sweatshirt are pouring all over the floor, like the bone-chilling late autumn frost, and he is completely in the shape of a villain boss.
Lin Sui'an held his forehead and glanced at Ling Zhiyan opposite.
Ling Zhiyan sighed secretly, "We are just making routine inquiries. Shopkeeper Lu, don't panic. You can answer whatever I ask."
Shopkeeper Lu was wiping sweat frantically with his sleeves, but when he saw the upright official with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he felt a little more at ease. He calmed down and said, "You ask, official."
Ling Zhiyan: "You just said that the darkroom in Yanchai Pavilion has been abandoned. What was it originally used for?"
Shopkeeper Lu sweated even more, "Then, those dark rooms were originally used to facilitate the guests... to do things."
Ling Zhiyan frowned, "What are you doing?"
"This, this..."
Hua Yitang raised his eyelids, "Do you still need to ask? The prices of food and wine above the fourth floor of Sanhua Building are extremely expensive, far beyond the affordability of ordinary people. Such expensive food and wine naturally include other special features. Service charge - This place is only three streets away from Dongyifang where Hongxiangfang is located. This dark room is obviously used by distinguished guests above the fourth floor to have sex with prostitutes."
Shopkeeper Lu sneered twice, "Hua Shenjun really knew everything. This secret room was indeed prepared for the prostitutes of Hongxiangfang. As for the corridors and secret doors, they were used by servants and prostitutes to avoid rashly breaking into the main room and disturbing them." To enhance the elegance of noble people."
Hua Yitang: "Oh, you are thoughtful."
"As a restaurant owner, I naturally have to follow the wishes of the distinguished guests. I will do whatever the distinguished guests want. How can I be dissatisfied?"
Ling Zhiyan: "Who are the so-called distinguished guests in your mouth?"
Shopkeeper Lu continued to wipe his sweat and rolled his eyes in the direction of the sixth floor, which was self-evident.
"Since the darkroom is needed by the nobles, and a lot of effort has been put into its construction and decoration, why is it abandoned now?" Lin Sui'an asked.
Shopkeeper Lu: "Originally, the big families in Yidu liked to hold all-night banquets at the Sanhua Building. But in the past two years, for some reason - maybe they got tired of it, the banquets suddenly stopped and these dark rooms There is no place for me to use them. To be honest, tonight is the first time for the Suizhou family to hold a night banquet at Sanhua Building in two years. I tried my best and even spent a lot of money to invite Mrs. Duan and Minina. I thought if If this night banquet is perfect, it will definitely save Suizhou's business. Who could have expected that something like this would happen, alas!"
Lin Sui'an couldn't help but frown: Huizeng said that Lian Xiaoshuang's change started from a "banquet".
Hua Yitang: "What do you mean, the Su family of Suizhou used to hold night banquets at Sanhua Building?"
"Ahem," Shopkeeper Lu cleared his throat, "The head of the Su family likes to be lively. He used to hold a night banquet every one or two months and invite the children of major aristocratic families to have fun with him."
Hua Yitang: "Oh, Master Su is really strong and full of energy."
Shopkeeper Lu laughed dryly.
Ling Zhiyan: "Why didn't you do it later?"
"I want to know too," Shopkeeper Lu said with a sad face, "I suddenly stopped doing it two years ago. I don't know if I offended him in some way... Alas!"
Lin Sui'an: Two years ago? This timing is quite subtle. It happened to coincide with the time when Dragon God Temple started selling Dragon God Fruit.
Ling Zhiyan: "Are all the rooms on the fourth and fifth floors equipped with darkrooms?"
Shopkeeper Lu: "Only the five highest-standard wing rooms have darkrooms, the Yanchai Pavilion, Yushu Pavilion and Linglong Pavilion on the fifth floor, and the Cherry Pavilion and Basiao Pavilion on the fourth floor."
"Who knows the locations of these darkrooms?" Lin Sui'an asked.
"The servants in Sanhua Tower know it, the prostitutes in Hongxiangfang also know it, and the nobles who have attended Su's night banquet before also know it well."
Lin Sui'an glanced at Jin Ruo, and Jin Ruo responded with a "Master, don't worry" look, and took Shopkeeper Lu out to search.
Hua Yitang shook his fan and asked the head catcher Wu Da on the side, "Wu Da, how was the investigation?"
Wu Da clasped his fists and said, "I have asked Hua to join the army. I have asked all the servants guarding the gate of Sanhua Building and the grooms responsible for guarding the vehicles in the square. Since the night banquet started, no one has left Sanhua Building."
"sure?"
"Sanhua Building has one front entrance, one back door, and two side entrances. Su seems to attach great importance to this banquet and requires four servants to guard each door of Sanhua Building. Don't neglect it," Wu Da said, " My subordinates have asked again and again, and indeed no one is out."
In other words, the murderer is very likely still in Sanhua Building. Lin Sui An said.
Ling Zhiyan: "How is the interrogation by the boys and attendants at Sanhua Tower, the prostitutes at Hongxiangfang, and the musicians?"
"The banquet is complicated. All the servants are busy preparing the banquet. They have never left alone, which can bear witness to each other. The musicians from Yongjufang and the prostitutes from Hongzhuangfang have been staying at the banquet and have no time to leave."
Hua Yitang: "Where are the male dancers?"
Wooda: "The bad guys are still questioning me."
Ling Zhiyan: "Have any witnesses seen anyone going to Yanchai Pavilion or leaving through the secret door on the fourth floor?"
Wooda shook his head, "Not yet."
"Has anyone seen Wu Zhengqing and Duan Hongning going to Minina's room?"
"People from Yongjufang said that Minina would shut herself in her room to rest quietly for an hour after dancing the Hu Xuan Dance. She was most afraid of being disturbed by others. In addition, the location of Yanchai Pavilion was very quiet, and there were very few people. Someone passed by – no witnesses were found.”
Lin Sui'an: The location of Yanchai Pavilion is very subtle. It has a dark room and is secretive. It is comparable to a tailor-made murder scene.
Fang Ke opened the door and walked in, handing Hua Yitang a fresh autopsy grid.
"The deceased, Minina, was twenty-two years old and a foreigner. The time of death was about half an hour ago."
Lin Sui'an speculated that the murderer probably killed the person during the time when Hua Yitang and Su Feizhang were scolding each other.
Fang Ke: "The fatal cause of death was that the left carotid artery was severed with a sharp weapon and blood spurted out. Another wound was on the abdomen, and three inches to the left of the navel was penetrated by a sharp blade. Judging from the size, shape and depth of the two wounds, the murder weapon was inserted into the A horizontal knife on the abdomen of the corpse."
A criminal placed a bloody white cloth on the table in front of everyone. Wrapped in the white cloth was the murder weapon pulled from the corpse. It was a three-foot horizontal knife with a ring and a head. The black handle was wrapped with a strong strap. The straps were soaked in blood, and it could be seen that they were weapons that had been used for many years.
Wu Da suddenly took a breath of cold air, stared at the horizontal knife, and his expression changed.
Hua Yitang: "Captain Wu knows this knife?"
Wu Da frowned, glanced at Wu Zhengqing lying on the ground, and took a breath, "Qi Zhenhua joins the army, this sword is... it is Wu Canjun's saber."
Hua Yitang slowly sat up straight and asked, "Captain Wu, are you sure?"
Wu Da lowered his head and clasped his fists, "My subordinate has worked with Wu Canjun for many years and will never admit his mistakes."
Oooh! This was interesting, and Lin Sui'an suddenly became energetic.
Hua Yitang signaled Wu Da to go down first, stood up, walked to Wu Zhengqing, walked around in a circle, and tapped his chin with his fan, "Although the murder weapon belongs to Wu Zhengqing, there is no trace of blood on him."
Fang Ke shook his head, "The murderer inserted the knife into Minina's neck and pulled it out, cutting off the carotid artery. Blood spattered several feet away. The walls and roof of Yanchai Pavilion were covered with blood. Ruowu Zhengqing is the murderer, there’s no way he wouldn’t be stained with any blood.”
Lin Sui'an glanced at Duan Hongning. She was also clean with no trace of blood.
Ling Zhiyan: "During the banquet, Wu Zhengqing and Duan Hongning were wearing the same clothes and never changed."
Lin Sui'an: "Did someone take Wu Zhengqing's sword and kill him?"
Hua Yitang said, "Why does he appear in every murder case? It's so annoying."
Fang Ke pointed at the autopsy examination on Hua Yitang's hand, "There are strangulation marks on Minina's neck and wrists, which are the marks of the three leather ropes. The marks on the wrists are deeper, and the marks on the neck are lighter. It should be It was because the arms were the main focus when tying them up, and they were all injuries before death."
Lin Sui'an: "In other words, someone hung Minina from the beam while she was still alive, and then took Wu Zhengqing's sword and killed her -"
But why this posture? To make the state of the corpse more curious?
"One more thing," Fang Ke's mouth moved, like a weird smile, "Minina also has a peach blossom mark on her inner thigh."
The three of them were horrified, "Eh?!"
Fang Ke: "The shape and size are exactly the same as the one on Lian Xiaoshuang's leg. The only difference is that the peach blossom brand on her was an injury before death. To be precise, it should have been branded on a few hours ago."
Lin Sui'an and Hua Yitang looked at each other.
What the hell is this?
Ling Zhiyan frowned into a pimple, "According to the previous files, the victims of the Peach Blossom Murderer case were raped first and then killed, and were branded with the peach blossom mark after death. Even Xiaoshuang and Minina— —”
"The two of them were not harmed before they died." Fang Ke said.
Ling Zhiyan pondered for a moment, "Could it be that these two cases are copycat cases?"
Just as he was talking, Duan Hongning's eyelids on the soft couch moved and she opened her eyes, looking confused, "Where is this...what's wrong with me..."
Lin Sui'an sighed and helped Duan Hongning sit up. Duan Hongning's eyes turned around on the faces of Hua Yitang, Ling Zhiyan and Fang Ke, becoming more and more confused, "Hua joins the army, Ling Sizhi, and this is - —”
"It's a very important matter, I'll keep it short," Ling Zhiyan said in a deep voice, "Minina died in Yanchai Pavilion. We found you in the darkroom of Yanchai Pavilion, and you were unconscious at the time. Dare I ask Mrs. Duan, you When did you go to Yanchai Pavilion? Have you ever seen Minina? Was Minina still alive at that time?"
Lin Sui'an was shocked by a series of questioning questions, not to mention Duan Hongning. He thought to himself that the handsome guy Ling was indeed a straight man, and he had no sympathy for the number one oiran in Yidu.
Duan Hongning's eyes, mouth, even the lines on her skin, and the breathing in her nose stopped. She stared at Ling Zhiyan for a long time, and her voice floated out from her pale lips, like a wisp of smoke, "... Minina... …died?"
Hua Yitang coughed heavily and poked Ling Zhiyan's arm secretly with his fan. Only then did Ling Zhiyan realize that her tone was not good and took half a step back in embarrassment.
Hua Yitang bent down, looked directly at Duan Hongning, and said softly, "Ms. Duan, don't panic. Hua is a member of the army as a judicial officer in Yidu City. He is just making a routine inquiry. He is not suspicious of Mrs. Duan——"
Duan Hongning didn't seem to hear Hua Yitang's voice at all. She was still staring at Ling Zhiyan, her face was frighteningly white. Looking from Lin Sui'an's point of view, the corners of her eyes were twitching violently, and she looked a little ferocious.
"Where is she?!" Duan Hongning almost shouted these words.
Everyone looked surprised and looked at each other quickly.
Duan Hongning's reaction was not quite right.
"The body is in Yanchai Pavilion next door." Fang Ke said firmly.
Duan Hongning's face turned pale and she struggled to get down, but as soon as her feet landed on the ground, her legs softened and she almost fell to the ground. Lin Sui'an hurriedly helped her back. Duan Hongning clutched Lin Sui'an's arm with both hands, her body trembled violently, her big eyes looked at Lin Sui'an hollowly, and she shed big tears silently.
Lin Sui'an did not dare to move and sent a distress message to Hua Yitang.
What to do? What to do? What to do?
Unexpectedly, Hua Yitang not only refused to help, but also quickly retreated half a step. Ling Zhiyan and Fang Ke even hid eight feet away. Duan Hongning was about to burst into tears. Lin Sui'an could only bite the bullet and imitate Hua Yimeng before. He held Duan Hongning in his arms and patted her back gently with her palms to comfort her.
Gradually, Duan Hongning's breath calmed down, she choked and retracted her hand, bowed her head and saluted, "It's Hong Ning who lost her composure. I hope you adults won't take offense."
Hua Yitang sighed, "Ms. Duan has an old relationship with Minina?"
"...We have known each other for more than ten years."
Hua Yitang sighed again, "The deceased is dead, please express my condolences to Madam Duan."
"I'm sorry, Ling didn't know before -" Ling Zhiyan clasped her fists, "It was Ling who was abrupt."
Duan Hongning shook her head, "Your responsibilities are yours, and Hongning should cooperate." After a pause, "How did she... die..."
"The carotid artery was cut off with a knife, and he bled to death." Fang Ke said.
Duan Hongning's body shook violently, and Lin Sui'an gave her another hand. Duan Hongning gritted her teeth. Because of the excessive force, the tone of her voice changed, "Who killed her?!"
"As long as Mrs. Duan cooperates with the inquiry, Hua promises that the murderer will be caught and brought to justice soon!" Hua Yitang said firmly.
Duan Hongning closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath, "Excuse me, Hua Canjun."
"Do you still remember why you were in the darkroom of Yanchai Pavilion?"
Duan Hongning: "I only remember that after the dance performance, I went back to my room to prepare for the next music performance. I saw a note left by Minina on the table, inviting me to go to Yanchai Pavilion to talk."
Ling Zhiyan: "Where is the note?"
Duan Hongning spread her hands and looked at it, then touched her cuffs and belt, "It's gone."
Hua Yitang: "What then?"
"Then..." Duan Hongning recalled, "I went to Yanchai Pavilion. The door was unlocked. I opened the door and went in. I didn't see Minina, so I sat down and waited for her. I was probably tired from preparing for the banquet tonight, so I waited. While waiting, I felt a little drowsy -" Duan Hongning paused, "By the way, I heard a knock on the door, I stood up, and then - I fell to the ground, the door opened, and I saw someone When I walked in, I saw a pair of black leather boots and clothes embroidered with dark blue patterns. The color of the clothes seemed to be gray or cyan——"
As Duan Hongning narrated, everyone's eyes fell on Wu Zhengqing not far away. He was wearing black soft cowhide official boots today and a light blue silk shirt with dark blue patterns embroidered on it.
Duan Hongning looked over and her pupils shrank sharply, "It's those boots, that's the pattern on the clothes!"
Ling Zhiyan: "What happens next?"
"After that..." Duan Hongning frowned, "I don't remember..."
Hua Yitang clicked his tongue, walked to Wu Zhengqing's side, squatted down, and tapped Wu Zhengqing's forehead with a fan, but Wu Zhengqing showed no reaction.
"I'll do it." Fang Ke stepped forward, took out a small emerald green porcelain bottle from his cuff, uncorked the bottle, and poured a drop of it into Wu Zhengqing's mouth. The green liquid seeped into Wu Zhengqing's mouth. In his mouth, Wu Zhengqing suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, and vomited. In an instant, the overwhelming bitter, spicy, sour, and strange smell filled the entire room. Hua Yitang was the closest, making his eyes red and scurrying like a rabbit. He stood up and screamed, "Ew shit, what the hell is this?!"
"Ita's newly prepared concentrated tea soup, named: Ye Lan Yin." Fang Ke calmly put away the porcelain bottle, "I'm afraid I won't be used to the tea at the banquet, so I brought some seasoning."
Everyone almost stopped kneeling.
Wu Zhengqing vomited for a long time before he regained his composure. He shook his head and turned to look around, "Hua Canjun? Ling Sizhi, you - why am I here?! I remember that I was clearly -"
"Is this Yanchai Pavilion?" Hua Yitang stepped aside, pointed to the horizontal knife on the case, and said, "This is the murder weapon found in Yanchai Pavilion that killed Minina. Wu Canjun looks familiar. ?”
Wu Zhengqing's eyelids twitched fiercely, as if he saw some monster, and his face twitched and became ferocious.
"This is Wu's saber." He quickly controlled his facial expression, "Wu did not kill anyone!"
When Wu Zhengqing said this, Lin Sui'an clearly felt that Duan Hongning's body suddenly became tense, and Lin Sui'an's sixth sense even felt her strong murderous intention.
But in the blink of an eye, Duan Hongning cleared away all her emotions and became the steady and decent number one courtesan again. If Lin Sui'an had not been absolutely confident in his eyesight, he would have thought it was dazzling.
"Min Nina's death really has nothing to do with me!" Wu Zhengqing said sternly, "When Wu arrived at Yanchai Pavilion, he did not see Min Nina. He only saw Lady Duan lying on the ground, as if she had fainted. Oh, Wu originally planned to save people, but when he crouched down, he suddenly didn’t know anything, and when he woke up, he was here."
Ling Zhiyan: "Why did Wu Canjun go to Yanchai Pavilion?"
"I -" Wu Zhengqing stuttered, "Wu and Minina are old acquaintances. We haven't seen each other for a long time. We met today and I thought I would take the opportunity to catch up on old times."
Hua Yitang let out a long "Oh", "Wu Canjun and Min Nina are old acquaintances. Madam Duan and Min Nina have known each other for ten years. So they must be old friends too?"
"Hong Ning has heard that Wu Junjun is a great hero. I have admired him for a long time. It is a pity that I have never been able to meet him." Duan Hong Ning lowered her eyes and said softly.
Wu Zhengqing glanced at Duan Hongning. He seemed a little surprised, but soon showed a clear expression and raised his eyebrows and said, "Wu didn't expect that you and I met in this way. It's really a blessing." Fool people.”
Lin Sui'an almost vomited. Even at this time, Wu Zhengqing still didn't forget to show off his greasy charm.
"Wu Canjun!" Ling Zhiyan suddenly said, "When you entered Yanchai Pavilion, did you find anything wrong?"
"Well... I fainted as soon as I entered. I was too pressed for time and didn't pay attention - if there was anything wrong," Wu Zhengqing said, "the smell of incense in the room was too strong and a bit choking."
Duan Hongning: "Let's put it this way, the smell of the incense is indeed different from what Minina usually uses. It seems to have a fishy smell."
"Were the windows of Yanchai Pavilion closed or open at that time?" Ling Zhiyan asked again.
Duan Hongning thought for a while, "It's closed."
Ling Zhiyan's eyes flashed and she turned to go out. Lin Sui'an, Hua Yitang and Fang Ke didn't know what was going on, so they could only follow him out. They saw Ling Zhiyan turning into the street and returning to Yanchai Pavilion again.
Minina's body was still lying here, with six bad men guarding the door. Ling Zhiyan walked through the door and went straight to the window. She looked carefully at the window frame, window sash and window lattice, closed the window with her backhand, and shouted back, "Close the door!"
The bad guard hurriedly opened the door.
"Knock the door open!" Ling Zhiyan shouted again.
The door opened again with a bang, and almost at the same time, the closed window also opened with a bang, and the river breeze outside the window rushed in, making everyone's clothes dance wildly.
"When we broke into the house, a strange fishy smell came out of the house. At that time, Ling felt strange, since the window was open, why didn't the smell dissipate?" Ling Zhiyan said, "It must be this wing room. When the door and windows are closed, the outdoor wind pressure is too high and presses tightly against the window sash. When the door is opened, the air surges, and the wind pressure outside the window will also knock the window sash open."
Lin Sui'an: "In other words, these windows were closed before we came in."
"The fishy aroma we smell is extremely strong, so -" Hua Yitang glanced around, "the source of the aroma has always been in this room and has never left -"
Everyone's eyes followed Hua Yitang's gaze and fell on the floor-to-ceiling copper candle holder next to the window. There were sixteen candles on the candlestick, some long and short, all half burned. Fang Chi walked over quickly, took down all the candles, smelled them one by one, and quickly picked out four candles, "These The smell of the four sticks is different from the others, a bit spicy, please spread out, I will light it to try."
The four candles were lit one after another, the lake breeze blew, the candlelight swayed weakly, and nothing could be smelled. Hua Yitang sniffed and came forward, and immediately a knife flew out. Hua Yitang covered his nose with a fan and stepped back.
Fang Ke took out four pieces of white paper, about one finger wide and one inch long, and put them on the candle light respectively. The flame of the first piece of paper was orange, the second piece was blue, the third piece was white, and the last piece of paper was lit. Zhang is green.
The three of them all widened their eyes.
"Destroyed." Fang Ke said.
Hua Yitang fanned out four candles and looked at Fang Chu eagerly, "How is it?"
Fang Ke said: "The orange flame candle contains incense, the blue one contains aphrodisiac incense, the white one contains another powerful incense, and the green flame candle contains Dragon God Fruit."
The three of them gasped at the same time.
"If the four candles are burned at the same time, I'm afraid there will be different levels of bonus effects. As for the specific effects, further testing is needed to determine." Fang Ke added.
The three of them looked at each other with toothache in their expressions.
"Master, Master, Master!" Jin Ruo ran in with a loud voice, his face full of joy, "I walked the corridor again and found that in addition to the footprints in the ground, there were also blood stains on the secret door and the side walls of the corridor. The traces were very thick. It was chaotic, indicating that the murderer was in a panic when he escaped. I thought that the murderer made a mistake in the chaos and might leave other clues, so I searched all the rooms on the fourth floor, and found it under the couch in the dark room of Cherry Pavilion. Got this——"
As he said that, he threw the cloth bag in his hand on the ground, "Look!"
Lin Sui'an said "Oh" in his heart. Inside the cloth bag turned out to be a bloody coat, a bloody scabbard and a pair of blood-stained black cloth boots.
Fang Ke immediately squatted down and looked through the bloody clothes, and Ling Zhiyan picked up her boots.
"There is also a basin of water in the darkroom of Cherry Pavilion, which was stained red by blood. It should have been used by the murderer to clean the blood stains. There is also a wardrobe with several changes of clothes in it. The size of the clothes matches the bloody clothes," Jin Ruo: "I have compared it, and the blood stains on the soles of these boots are completely consistent with the bloody footprints left in the corridor. It seems that the murderer was well prepared!"
Fang Ke shook off his bloody clothes and stood where Minina's body was. He compared the blood stains on the blood clothes with those on the wall and roof, and nodded, "The distribution of the blood spots is consistent. This should be what the murderer was wearing when he committed the crime." clothes."
Lin Sui'an gave a thumbs up, "Good disciple, well done!"
Jin Ruo put his hands on his hips and raised his chin, with a proud look that could be compared to Hua Yitang.
Hua Yitang covered his mouth with a fan and scanned the bloody clothes up and down with his eyes, "Do you think this clothes looks familiar?"
Although the clothes have been stained beyond recognition by blood, the basic style can still be seen. It is a men's satin gown, which is relatively wide, with exquisite patterns embroidered on the shoulders, cuffs, and placket. The background color should be stone green.
Lin Sui'an heard a "ding" in his head. She remembered that when Minina was dancing, the owner of this dress was walking around her. Because it was green and fat, he looked like an annoying blowfly.
At the second moment of Xu Zheng, the six-story pavilion of Sanhua Building turned into a mess.
The newly appointed Yidu soldier Hanashiro suddenly blocked the Sanhua Building, and no one was allowed to enter or exit. The people who came to the banquet were all nobles from aristocratic families, and none of them were good-natured. When they heard this, they became angry and started to shout and prepare to break in. The shopkeeper hurriedly handed over the flowers. Shiro's original words came out, saying that if anyone dares to cause trouble, Lady Lin will chop off his legs.
The fierce scene of Lin Sui'an's battle with Wu Chun was still vivid in his mind. No one dared to touch this bad luck, so they could only stay there with dissatisfaction, while secretly scolding Hua Yitang for being nothing.
Unexpectedly, after waiting and waiting, instead of waiting for the blockade to be lifted, the agents and bad guys from the Yidu government office came and completely sealed the Sanhua Building.
It was only then that everyone came to their senses. There was probably a murder case in the Sanhua Building. Considering the dancers who broke into the pavilion before, it was not difficult to deduce that Minina must be in trouble.
This time, it was even more chaotic.
Liu Qingxi sat next to Hua Ermu, really sitting on pins and needles.
Directly opposite is Su Feizhang, the head of the Su family, holding a wine glass, his eyelids drooped, his eyebrows gloomy. Su Yiyun on the side is drooping his head, sluggish. Behind Su Yiyun, Wu Chun is sitting curled up under the window, with his head on his head. It was still bleeding, but no one paid attention to it, so I had to bandage it myself.
The most outrageous thing is that Taishou Chi and Xia Changshi were in such a mess. They were still dizzy with their heads leaning against each other. Just then, Taishou Chi clearly opened half of his eyes, and his eyeballs were rolling around, and he realized that Liu Qingxi was watching In the past, Kaba closed again.
The seven or eight children on the left are from the Zhou family in the north of the city, and they are probably Minina's admirers. At this time, they are so sad that they hug each other and cry. The group on the right is the children of the Wang family in the south of the city and the Ma family in the east city. They are usually called the Su family. He was always looking forward to it. He was not angry at being outshone today, and each of them scolded them happily, especially Wang Jinglu, the younger brother of Wang Jingfu, the head of the Wang family, who scolded them the most.
And more people, such as the descendants of the Xu family in the south of the city, the Qian family in the north, and the Sun family, are as worried as Liu Qingxi.
Liu Qingxi's eyes paused on Wang Jinglu, always feeling that something was wrong, but her attention was quickly diverted - Wu Zhengqing, who had been so courteous to her before, disappeared.
"Brothers, Huasilang treats us all as prisoners by sealing off the building like this!" Wang Jinglu shouted, "This is an insult to our Yidu nobles!"
The Wang family and the Ma family are the largest families in Yidu City after the Su family in Suizhou. The children in the family are usually pampered and uneducated, and they are all afraid of the world being in chaos. They have never been so wronged, and they all immediately agreed.
"What Brother Wang said is true. So what if he is Shiro of the Hua family? So what if he is the Hua family of Yangdu? When he comes to our territory of Yidu, he should put his tail between his legs and behave!"
"We have been waiting for almost two hours, how much longer do we have to wait?! Can you give me an accurate answer?"
"Even if there is a case, what does it have to do with us?"
"Yes, we have been staying on the sixth floor and have never left the door!"
"No matter what the case is, we can't be blamed!"
"In my opinion, Silang of the Hua family is clearly seeking revenge and wants to embarrass us!" Wang Jinglu raised his arms and led the children of the Wang family and the Ma family to rush to the gate, "Brothers, come with me to seek justice!"
"Hua Yitang, let us out!"
"Hanashiro, you are a sanctimonious villain! You want to dominate Yidu and live up to your big dreams!"
"Hua Yitang! Hua Silang, come out! Come out, come out!"
"Hua Yitang, don't be a coward. If you have the ability, come out and give us an explanation!"
The bad guy at the door was shocked, pulled out an iron ruler and blocked the door, shouting angrily, "Back off!" But these people from aristocratic families didn't know the heights of the world, so they still rushed forward, and were about to crush the bad guy's defense line. , in a matter of seconds, a sharp light burst through the air, flying into the pavilion with a sharp roar that rubbed everyone's brains, and penetrated into the floor with a click, making a continuous buzz.
It was actually a blood-stained horizontal knife!
Everyone changed their colors in shock and dispersed with a bang.
Wang Jinglu's hair was cut off by the wind of the sword, and he sat down on the ground in fright.
"Don't you all want Hua to give an explanation?" A loud voice sounded outside the door, "This is Hua's explanation."
The bad guys were relieved and retreated to both sides to make way.
Hua Yitang swaggered into the venue, waving his fan, followed by Lin Sui'an, Ling Zhiyan, Jin Ruo and Fang Ke. The head catcher Wu Da supported Duan Hongning, and the gloomy-looking Wu Zhengqing followed at the end.
The whole hall was completely silent. Several prostitutes couldn't stand the excitement and fainted.
Liu Qingxi covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves. Although she was still far away, she seemed to smell an indescribable smell of blood.
Su Feizhang sat up straight, and Su Yiyun raised his head and looked straight into the center of the pavilion.
Hua Yitang walked forward waving his fan, his seven layers of gauze flying in the wind, creating layers of bright light in the candlelight, as if he was covered in light smoke and flowing water.
