Li Jingshu jumped up as if she had been whipped. She ran back to her room and put on her clothes with shame and humiliation. Then she walked back to the balcony and slowly said to Lan Qiao, "You are right.

In addition to repaying my gratitude, what I did just now had another purpose."

Lan Qiao glanced sideways at Li Jingshu and said with disdain, "Why don't you tell me and see what is so difficult about it that is worthy of your sacrifice in exchange."

Li Jingshu's face turned red, she bit her lips and said, "I did underestimate the young master just now, but this matter is too dangerous. I really don't dare to let the young master go to a place where he will most likely die without a burial."

"That's why you treat me like this. Is this your last act of madness?" Lan Qiao smiled self-deprecatingly, then put away his mocking look and said solemnly, "Girl, if you have a destiny, I will go through fire and water."

Li Jingshu sighed softly and said quietly, "I have lost something and I must find it before leaving the city tomorrow."

Lan Qiao looked her up and down, his heart suddenly moved, he patted his head and said, "It's the girl's imperial-given headdress, with wings of gold and jade."

Li Jingshu nodded and said, "Young master, you guessed it right. As soon as I got off the mountain yesterday, I was arrested by the Yueyang Water Sect. They kidnapped me back to Yueyang overnight, dragged me to the basement and tortured me, forcing me to learn the etiquette they taught me.

"That is simply unbearable pain, and I can't do anything to apologize." When she said this, she couldn't help but choke, biting her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying.

Lan Qiao recalled her tame appearance in Leng Yuexuan and the torture mentioned by Xiao Taoxian. He felt a pity in his heart and couldn't help but touch her hair and said, "It's all over, don't think about it anymore."

.”

"Don't worry, I'm not as fragile as you think." Li Jingshu twisted her body, broke away from Lan Qiao's hand and continued, "That golden and jade wings was taken away by Ren Da at that time, although it is not priceless.

It is a treasure, but it is a great disrespect to lose the late emperor's royal belongings, and it must be used when getting married in the future, so I don't want to cause any more trouble to my parents."

Lan Qiao snorted and said, "This Ren Da dares to be so cruel to you. If I have the chance, I will definitely kill him to avenge your shame."

Li Jingshu muttered, "Renda only knows how to use torture to bully girls who have no power to resist. He can't even reach the corners of the clothes of the four ruthless Yuezhou hegemons."

"Yuezhou Four Hegemons"

"They are the four most ferocious and courageous Jianghu people in Yuezhou Prefecture. They have extremely high prestige in the local area. Just mentioning their names is enough to scare people."

Lan Qiao said disdainfully, "Being brave and fighting fiercely is not as good as possessing the pearl of wisdom."

"Someone is strategizing, and someone is also needed to charge forward. Both are indispensable." Li Jingshu shook her head and said, "Qian Chaoying and Wan Qianhai among the four hegemons in Yuezhou are the third and fourth masters of the Yueyang Water Sect.

The latter is the leader of their gang of thugs, while the former is the deacon of the Bishui Jietian Tower."

Lan Qiao was surprised when he heard this and said, "Why didn't you tell us earlier that this is not a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?"

Li Jingshu rolled her eyes at him and said, "You bought me seriously at the Lengyue Meeting. You brought my newly bought slave to live here. At most, some people were jealous and accused you of being too doting on your slave. Who can do that?"

Say half a word "no"

Lan Qiao thought about it and asked with a wry smile, "I wonder who the other two of the Four Hegemons in Yuezhou are?"

"The second in line is the concubine of Shao Jian, the chief helmsman of Yunmenghui, named Chu Hongxiu. She is dressed in red with long sleeves and is good at dancing, but she likes to hide flying knives in her sleeves. Although she looks like a delicate woman on the surface, she is

She is ruthless and often kills people while talking and laughing." Li Jingshu said with a twinkle in her eyes, "If I hadn't only cooperated with the Dongting Gang in recent years, I would really like to learn the two-handed knife throwing skills from her."

Lan Qiao thought for a moment and said, "You just mentioned the Yueyang Water Sect and the Yunmeng Hui, so I guess the leader of the Yuezhou Four Hegemons should be a member of the Dongting Gang."

Li Jingshu nodded and said, "The leader of the Four Hegemons in Yuezhou is Du Long, the leader of the Dongting Gang. He has some military background and is very good at both black and white. Although he is an illiterate rough man, he is heroic and mighty."

Unyielding. In recent years, the Yunmeng Society and the Yueyang Water Sect have continued to expand. If the Dongting Gang had not been supported by Du Long, its business and industry would have been divided up by others, leaving no room for them to stand."

Lan Qiaoruo glanced at Li Jingshu meaningfully and said, "How come you, a doctor who runs a medical clinic, know so much about the situation in Yueyang?"

"What's so strange about this?" Li Jingshu said calmly, "Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Even the grandfather who holds the iron certificate of the alchemy book ended up with his family ruined. Who can survive alone?"

When Lan Qiao heard her mention Li Shanchang's old case again, he quickly changed the subject and said, "Let's go back to your headdress. You said the headdress was taken away by Ren Da, but where should I find him?"

Li Jingshu smiled slightly and said, "I have a way."

She walked back to the room, picked up the silver chain that Ren Da had worn for her, carefully wrapped the chain around her neck, took a deep breath to lock the chain again, and then stuffed the other end of the chain into a fog.

"At that time, Shao Jian and his men broke into Leng Yuexuan, and the master took me away in desperation. He neither paid the five hundred taels of silver nor asked Ren Da for the key to the chain. If this is true,

If so, the deal is still in the final step and has not been completed."

Lan Qiao said in confusion, "That's true, but hasn't Lan Feng already opened the chain for you? Why did you put the chain on again?"

Li Jingshu seemed to have locked herself too tightly and her breathing was not smooth. She pulled the chain around her neck with her hands and said softly, "Since the transaction has not been completed yet, and we know that Bishui Jietian Building is also the property of Yueyang Water Sect, then Young Master

You can take me to see Qian Chaoying, the deacon here, and ask him to find Ren Da for us. We will hand over the money and he will hand over the keys."

Lan Qiao suddenly came over, and then Li Jingshu said, "As long as Ren Da appears, I can find an opportunity to attack him, and then force him to hand over your headdress."

"Exactly." Li Jingshu walked to the railing of the terrace, overlooking the Dongting Lake downstairs, and slowly added, "There is a small dock downstairs. Once we succeed, we can leave immediately by water without fear of them provoking retaliation."

.”

Lan Qiao thought to send you away, I still have important things to do in Yueyang, but said, "So the problem now is, how to meet Qian Chaoying."

Li Jingshu said softly, "Qian Chaoying is one of the four tyrants in Yuezhou and is in charge of the large business of Bishui Jietian Building. It is early in the morning again. It is not easy to see him unless..."

Lan Qiao asked, "Unless what?"
