"Report to the Pavilion Master! The three stewards are here and waiting outside the door." The masked man was talking to Lu Qingli when a man in black cupped his fists and said.
"Let them come in." The masked man waved his hand and said to Lu Qingli: "Qingli, stand next to my father."
"Yes! Dad!" Lu Qingli knew that her father was getting serious when she saw the masked man wipe out his laziness and sit upright.
"I have met the Pavilion Master in this humble position." The three stewards walked in side by side and bowed to the masked man on the throne.
"You're welcome, sit down!" The masked man didn't move and just said calmly.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master." The three stewards sat on the three iron chairs on either side of the lower head.
"I invite you all to come here today mainly to discuss what happened in the pavilion today." The masked man's deep voice was different from the one he spoke to Lu Qingli just now. There was no emotion, anger, sorrow or joy at all: "I heard in the pavilion that recently Many strange faces appeared in the pavilion, and many things happened that haven’t happened in many years?”
"Master Qi Pavilion, it is indeed the case." The thin man, Steward Zhang, stood up first and bowed: "Not only that, but without the steward's permission, a life was lost."
"Oh? Botian, how did you deal with it?" The masked man followed the thin man's words and asked.
"I wanted to get rid of this person in accordance with the government regulations, but Manager Pei insisted on obstructing him. I don't know what he meant?" Zhang Botian stared coldly at the idle man, with anger in his eyes.
"Pavilion Master, it's clear! It's not that I don't respect the rules of the palace because of my humble position. It actually happened for a reason." The old man also stood up and bowed: "I have already investigated clearly. This person is a guard of the imperial palace, and what happened was dropped from his body. Fire Seal Silver, this is a big deal, how can we stick to the rules?"
"Pavilion Master, I also agree with Manager Pei's opinion." Manager Lu did not stand up like the two of them. He was obviously the oldest: "Besides, among their group, there is another person who holds the Purple Smoke Wealth Card, and you are also included. Your distinguished guest."
"Purple Smoke Wealth Card?" The masked man said in a very surprised tone: "This pavilion only gives away three yuan in total. Who is the person holding this card?"
"He's a young man with a very nice face." Manager Lu shook his head: "I've already used spies to investigate, but I can't find this person's identity. However, the girl with him has a good background, so she It’s Liu Ningshi, the daughter of Liu Zhongshu at that time.”
"What? Even people from the Zhongshu Mansion have entered the pavilion?" The masked man tightly held the chair handle with his right hand and muttered to himself: "Jingwei Mansion, Zhongshu Mansion, Fire Seal Silver, it seems so peaceful Something big is going to happen in the century-old Ziyan Pavilion.”
"Pavilion Master, I think I have nothing to be afraid of." Zhang Botian said: "Even people from the imperial court would not dare to act wild here."
"Killing for life is a matter of course, everything is in accordance with the rules of the pavilion." The masked man ordered: "Also, from now on, Ziyan Pavilion will be sealed off."
"Sealing the pavilion?" The three stewards said in surprise: "Sealing the pavilion is a big deal. If you are not careful, it may cause shock in the pavilion, so please think twice."
"Stop talking, I've made up my mind." The masked man waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone: "If you have nothing to do, go down first. I want to be quiet for a while."
"Yes!" The three stewards knew the pavilion master's temper and did not dare to say any more, so they all left.
"Dad, do you really want to seal the pavilion?" Lu Qingli, who had been quiet before, asked worriedly after the three stewards left, "How will Lu Shaolin explain this?"
"Hmph! Explain, what do I need to explain to Lu Shaolin?" The masked man seemed to be able to vent his emotions only in front of his daughter: "As the gatekeeper of Ziyan Pavilion, Lu Shaolin gets a lot of money from us every year, but now he has let go of this Many people have entered the cabinet, are they trying to harm us?"
"But Lu Shaolin is a direct descendant of the Lu family after all, and he is deeply loved by the head of the family." Although Lu Qingli is usually eccentric, she is unusually calm at critical moments: "If he didn't know that he would seal the pavilion rashly, I'm afraid it would arouse the head of the family. Blame.”
"Qingli! You're right!" The masked man nodded in agreement and took Lu Qingli's arm tenderly: "So dad needs to go to Jinling City and report the situation here to the family head."
"Let your daughter go to Jinling?" Lu Qingli quickly shook her head and said: "Now that the pavilion is full of crises, how can Qingli let dad deal with it alone? Why not ask dad to write a letter and send a reliable person to send it to the head of the family!"
"Don't worry Qingli, we can still handle the many crises in the pavilion." The masked man rejected Lu Qingli's opinion: "On the other hand, if the head of the family doesn't have someone who is absolutely trustworthy and can stand alone, I'm afraid he won't be able to get through it. This is it!"
"But......"
"Stop being stubborn, let's make this decision." Lu Qingli wanted to say something more, but the masked man made it final.
"Okay! Dad must be careful after his children leave." Although Lu Qingli was reluctant to give up, she could not argue with the masked man's words.
"Take this Purple Smoke Token and go back as soon as possible. Don't let dad worry." The masked man handed a jade plaque with the word 'Purple Smoke' engraved on it to Lu Qingli.
"Qingli will definitely fulfill his mission." Lu Qingli took the token and put it in her arms, but she looked distracted and refused to leave.
"Are you worried about the guard of the Jingwei Mansion?" The masked man pointed out what Lu Qingli was thinking with a slight smile: "Qingli has indeed grown up!"
"Dad, what are you talking about again!" Lu Qingli couldn't help but blush when her words hit her mark.
"As long as he is innocent, dad will definitely keep him safe." After the masked man solemnly promised, he sighed secretly in his heart: "A stupid boy, I really don't know what Qingli likes about him?"
"Hehe! It's fun, it's fun!" In the back hall of Ziyan Bank, Li Shu was hiding in the corner of the wall, still biting his fingers stupidly.
"Is Miss Liu feeling better?" Yingzhao asked after seeing Liu Ningshi finish adjusting her breath, slowly opening her eyes.
"It's better! Thank you, Brother Yingzhao, for saving Ning Shi again!" Liu Ningshi was still worried about Cai Cai's condition and felt a little guilty.
"No need to thank me!" Yingzhao shook his head: "This is all Xiangyun's arrangement."
"Brother Xiangyun?" Liu Ningshi asked, "Where has he gone? I don't know how things are going over there?"
"Bang!" The door to the back hall was quickly opened, and Xiao Liu supported Tong Bo who looked tired and walked in, followed closely by Yutu and Huan Yu.
"Brother Xiangyun, what's wrong with you?" When Liu Ningshi saw Huan Yu, she knew what the important thing Tong Bo said earlier was.
"It's nothing serious, I'm just a little tired." Tong Bo looked indifferent: "I brought Miss Yu back."
"Sister Ningshi, it's great to see you're okay." Huan Yu saw Liu Ningshi pulling his arm excitedly.
"Little brother, please help me sit down." With Xiao Liu's help, Tong Bo sat cross-legged on the futon under the main seat.
"Since you're back, I'll take my leave first." Yingzhao was as free and easy as ever, and walked away without waiting for Tong Bo to speak.
"Ahem!" Xiao Liu winked at Huan Yu: "Guard Tong, please have a good rest. Xiao Liu also goes out for a walk."
"That's right!" Huan Yu got Xiaoliu's hint and quickly pulled up Jade Rabbit: "Sister Rabbit, let's go outside together."
In just a few breaths, only Tong, Liu and the crazy Li Shu were left in the entire back hall, which instantly became deserted.
"Miss Liu! Look at the way you were hesitating just now. Do you have something to say?" Although Tong Bo closed his eyes slightly to calm down the chaotic breath in his body, everything around him was clear.
"Brother Xiangyun! I..." Liu Ningshi was about to speak, but Tong Bo suddenly opened his eyes and pursed his lips towards Li Shu in the corner: "Li Shu is also tired, let him sleep for a while. Bar."
"But he has..." Liu Ningshi couldn't help laughing.
"Be careful and the ship will last forever." Tong Bo didn't think so, and said: "Now we have to take every step carefully, because if we make a wrong step, we will be doomed."
"Okay." Liu Ningshi nodded, moved her body, and pointed a finger at Li Shu's sleeping point.
"Hey hey hey!" The crazy Li Shu just hummed a few times, then fell to the ground and fell asleep.
"Brother Xiangyun, it's all Ningshi's fault for being too careless." Liu Ningshi blamed herself: "I wanted to capture Wen Lin and clear Brother Dafang's grievances; but now not only has it failed, but also Brother Dafang Got stuck in it too.”
"With Miss Liu's ability, can't she still be able to deal with Wen Lin?" Tong Bo tried his best to hold back his laughter and asked seriously.
"It's not difficult to deal with Wen Lin, but I didn't expect that Zuo Tianhao had already controlled the paper mill, and Huang Que attacked Ning Shi from behind." Liu Ningshi tightened her jade fist and said unwillingly.
"Zuo Tianhao, Huangque behind!" Tong Bo looked up at the ceiling and murmured to himself, looking thoughtful.
"There's only one day left, what should we do now?" Liu Ningshi was secretly worried for An Da Fang: "If we can't find out what he really wants, I'm afraid those managers won't let brother Da Fang go."
"Miss Liu! Think about it carefully, did Wang Junchen really die in Wen Lin's hands?" Tong Bo asked with a smile when he saw that Liu Ningshi's thoughts were a little confused.
"But at that time, there was no one else in Jifangting except Brother Da Fang and Wen Lin!" Liu Ningshi was very puzzled by Tong Bo's question.
"Then where did you find this Li Shu?" Tong Bo pointed at the sleeping Li Shu, which led to Liu Ningshi's thoughts.
"It's in the secret room under Jifang Pavilion!" As soon as Liu Ningshi said these words, she immediately understood Tong Bo's intention: "Brother Xiangyun meant that when brother Da Fang was drinking in the pavilion that day, he also Is there someone lurking under Jifang Pavilion?"
"If you want to talk about suspicion, the person who attacked Miss Liu in the underground gambling arena is even more suspicious." Tong Bo nodded.
"That's right!" Liu Ning Shijing Tong Bo reminded him, and he also thought it was reasonable: "When Ning Shi fought against Wen Lin, I felt that her internal strength was not cold, and she did not shoot any ice needles from beginning to end."
"The mantis and the oriole have never been fixed." Tong Bo said with a meaningful smile: "Maybe if you are not careful, you may change from the oriole to the mantis."
