Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 163 Conspiracy
Dark night, bright moon, tree shadows, and a carriage.

Tap tap tap.
The sound of hurried horse hooves and the creaking of wheels turned.

"This vessel is quite perfect."

"Not bad."

"I think Ancestor Blood Shadow will definitely be very satisfied!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of vessel is this? Who is the Blood Shadow Ancestor?"

Qu Chengfeng gradually regained consciousness, but his head felt dizzy.

Eyelids half open.

The first thing you see is the wooden roof of the sedan, and then the moonlight shining in from outside.

"Why am I in the car?"

"No, I should be in Chunyan Tower. Where's Zhu'er?"

The next moment, memories flooded back like a tide.

Qu Chengfeng's eyes suddenly widened.

I remembered.

All remembered.

"Bitch, all of them are bitches!"

There is something wrong with Zhu'er. She has a gambling father, a weak mother, an incompetent brother, and a stubborn girl.

It's a scam.

It was all a scam against him!

He was just about to get intimate with Zhu'er, when he felt a sharp pain in his neck, his eyes went dark and he fell into coma. When he opened his eyes again, he was in this hellish place.

"Yo, you woke up so soon?"

"As expected of a fairy physique, it seems the dosage is too little."

呲!
There was the sound of a needle piercing the flesh, and the familiar feeling came over me again.

Qu Chengfeng just felt that the world in front of him was spinning.

In the last moments of coma.

He tried hard to see the face of the person in the chariot.

"Xiang Ting!"

"Tou'er Li, how come you have time to come here at this hour?"

Tang Hai was wiping his weapon when he saw Li Rui coming to the Benhu Cavalry with an incredibly beautiful girl in a threatening manner.

Li Rui's face was gloomy.

"Something happened. Where is Mr. Tan?"

Tang Hai pointed to the right: "Over there."

"Please invite Lord Tan over and ride on the Tiger Riders to Chunyan Tower."

"Spring Swallow Tower?"

Tang Hai blinked his eyes. This was the most expensive brothel in Qinghe, bar none.

"well."

When he saw Li Rui's serious face, he immediately realized that the matter was not simple. He nodded quickly and then trotted to call Tan Hu.

Outside Chunyan Tower.

A tall, chestnut horse raised its front hooves and snorted loudly.

Passersby looked at the horse with envy.

"Is this the leader of the Annan Army?"

"Yes, it's the Tiger Riders!"

Some knowledgeable people recognized the origins of the group of people at the entrance of Chunyan Tower at a glance.

Li Rui was the first to dismount.

Stride into Chunyan Tower.

It was daytime, so there were no other customers at the door except the doorman who was watching over the store.

Just walked in the door.

A pretty woman with an S-shaped figure came forward and said, "Master Li, why did you come here in person?"

Li Rui glanced at the woman.

The madam of Chunyan Tower, a woman who is good at calculating.

Last time Wei Ming treated everyone to a meal, he wanted to get a discount, but was defeated by this woman's gentle tactics. In the end, he failed to get a discount and ended up losing all his yang energy.

As a seventh-rank official, Li Rui cannot avoid Chunyan Tower.

The madam greeted us warmly.

Li Rui had a stern face, as if to say, "Who are you? I don't know you." He said in a deep voice, "Such a big thing happened, and Chunyan Tower dared to hide it. This shows that they don't take our An Ning Guard seriously!"

The madam was shocked by Li Rui's authority and her face turned pale:

"Sir, this is unjust. I have already reported it to the authorities. The government has sent someone to take a look this morning."

Little girl?
Li Rui sneered in his heart. This old procuress looked young, but she was actually nearly forty years old.

You can’t trust a man’s mouth, and you can’t trust a single word a brothel woman says.

Just as the madam was about to stage the scene where Little Pearl dropped down with a clatter, Li Rui stopped her in her tracks and said, "Lead the way!"

The madam really stopped.

He walked upstairs with Li Rui in a sullen manner.

As he walked, he muttered, "The officials are the most ruthless."

While going upstairs, she kept looking behind Li Rui.

"What a beautiful woman!"

As a brothel madam, she always takes a few more glances at beautiful women. Her face is impeccable and her figure is top-notch, but she is too arrogant and lacks femininity. She needs to be disciplined.

Yao Xue felt the madam's gaze.

Frowning slightly.

Of course, this was her first time in a brothel.

She finally suppressed the anger rising in her heart. She didn't expect that her junior brother would sneak into such a place of entertainment while she was in seclusion, and even died.

She didn't know how to explain to her master.

In less than a month, all the fellow disciples died.

After a while.

Li Rui and his party came to Chunyan Pavilion.

The scene had indeed been checked by people from the yamen. The door had been sealed and the body was covered with a piece of coarse linen that was still oozing blood.

“It’s quite elegant.”

Li Rui didn't even look at the seal, he just grabbed it and pulled it off with his big hand.

An Ning Wei does not need to obtain the consent of the government office when doing things.

Li Rui walked to the white cloth.

After a pause, he said, "Miss Yao, I'm going to lift it up."

Yao Xue gritted her teeth and nodded.

With a little force on his hands, the sackcloth was lifted up.

A sea of ​​scarlet. Yao Xue's face turned pale and she turned her head away reluctantly.

Li Rui frowned and squatted down to look more seriously.

"Could it be that I am really the lone star of the Wenxian Tower?"

In less than a month, the bodies of Zhang Laodao's eldest and third disciples were found. There were three in total, and he dealt with two of them.

One became a skeleton, and the other turned into mud.

Tan Hu said: "It's cruel enough. He's almost turned into slag."

There was no corpse on the ground. It had already turned into a pile of meat paste and nothing could be distinguished.

No wonder the constable from the yamen came and then left in disappointment.

How do I check this thing?
Li Rui looked at it for a long time, then stood up, walked out of the room, and looked at the madam standing outside the door: "Tell me, what happened?"

The madam then told the whole story of Qu Chengfeng's visit to Chunyan Tower to look for the courtesan Baozhuer.

"Baozhu'er."

Li Rui groaned and said, "Call the people over!"

The madam was somewhat reluctant: "Baozhu was frightened and needs to rest now, otherwise..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Rui interrupted him:

"Are you going to stop An Ningwei from doing his job?"

The madam could only sigh helplessly at the sight of this and told the maid beside her to go and call for help.

Soon.

A plump, beautiful girl came out supported by her maid, looking so pitiful.

She bowed and said:

"I have met you sirs."

Baozhu'er's voice is so gentle that it makes people want to pity her.

Any man who sees this would probably have to hold back from saying anything harsh.

No wonder she could become the most beautiful girl in Chunyan Tower.

It’s a pity that I met Li Rui.

"The tea has a tea flavor."

The women in brothels have always been fighting for power behind the scenes, but they all act like innocent girls to outsiders. They are all forced to do the business.

Li Rui ignored Bao Zhu'er's tenderness and said, "Tell me now, don't hide anything, otherwise I will have to take you to the water dungeon for questioning."

When Baozhuer heard about the water dungeon, her face turned pale instantly.

Water dungeon.

That's where the An Ning Guard detains serious criminals. Even if you don't die once you go in, you won't be in your normal shape.

"Sir, I have already told the officer about this matter."

"Then say it again!"

Li Rui's eyes became sharp.

Baozhuer took a step back timidly, then told everything in detail.

It's basically a story about a pure-love boy who falls in love with a prostitute.

Li Rui didn't even have to listen.

When he heard that Qu Chengfeng wanted to redeem Baozhu'er, he was basically certain that this Qu boy was mentally ill.

man.

His favorite thing to do is to lure decent women into prostitution and persuade men to become good women.

Qu Chengfeng is a young boy with little experience in the world. He was caught in such deep water for the first time.

The old hand at romance may know another sentence.

A bitch is ruthless, an actor is ruthless.

The woman in the brothel, the gambling father, the sick mother, the frail brother, the broken self, these are all common tricks.

Is it true?

possible.

But the ultimate purpose is to make you spend more money, not to really ask you to redeem him.

If there really is a sucker who wants to redeem himself, I may not be willing to do so.

Do you really want to stage a Du Shiniang drama in a brothel? True love does not exist.

Upon hearing that her junior fellow apprentice wanted to redeem the woman in front of her, Yao Xue sighed softly.

Baozhuer said a lot.

What about two people writing poems under the moon, talking about the beauty of spring; what about two people drinking tea and discussing the Tao, talking about the path to immortality.
If it hadn't been in the brothel, Li Rui would really have been a talented man and a beautiful woman.

Li Rui was not interested in listening anymore: "Let's get to the point, how did Qu Chengfeng die!"

Baozhuer shrank her neck like a kitten: "I had my period last night, and Mr. Qu stayed alone in the room, waiting for me to come this morning. I came."

As he spoke, tears began to flow like rain and he sobbed uncontrollably, which moved everyone who heard him.

The madam sighed and continued, "Then she saw these things in the room and reported them to the authorities. Green Water was present and can testify."

Li Rui was silent for a while.

Then he waved to the Tiger Riders behind him and said, "Please invite Mr. Zhao to come and perform an autopsy!"

Liang He said: “Yes!”

He knew that the Mr. Zhao that Li Rui mentioned was the coroner Zhao from An Ning Guard.

The madam hesitated: "Mr. Li, it's already like this, can we still test it?"

"Why not?"

Half an hour later.

The old coroner then appeared in Chunyan Pavilion.

He heard Liang He's account of the situation on the way, nodded to Li Rui, and went straight to the corpse.

After searching for a while, I started to study.

His expression is so serious that it makes people's scalps tingle.

Even a man like Tan Hu couldn't stand it anymore and decisively retreated outside the house.

About a quarter of an hour passed.

The old coroner then walked out of the room and said, "This man is a man. Although he practiced martial arts, he was probably proficient in the art of talismans. He was good-looking and about 20 years old. He was hacked to death by an axe soldier."

Li Rui listened.

Wenxian Tower is a hidden sect and very little information is released to the outside world.

Of course, the old coroner had no way of knowing Qu Chengfeng's specific identity, but the description sounded very consistent with Qu Chengfeng.

"Killing with an axe."

This may be the only useful news.

Li Rui groaned and said to Liang He, "Take the body and return to the camp."

"Yes!"

But several people looked at the pile on the ground and felt very embarrassed.

Li Rui was the first to walk out of the building, looking at the smoke thoughtfully.
