Chapter 340 Companionship
Chapter 340 Fellowship
From noon until nightfall, the city gate and port were tightly closed, no one was allowed in or out, but Chi Yanqing's whereabouts were never found from the beginning to the end.
Chang Ji came back to report the news. After saying this, he immediately raised his head and said, "But Sir, we did find out a piece of news from the shopkeeper of Hongxiangfang."
Lan Yangu looked up with a gloomy face: "What's the news?"
Chang Ji said: "The businessman from the Western Regions once told their shopkeeper that Na Mianxiang was working for the government. If he was willing to give him a few percent of the profit and promote better cooperation, the shopkeeper's wife reported it to their boss.
But their employer refused."
Lan Yanyu immediately raised his head: "Working for the officials??"
Changji: "Yes!"
"Moreover, Miss Chi is looking for spices that are the same as the diffuse incense. The ones Hongxiangfang took her down to find are also spices from the Western Regions. Although they are not the diffuse incense, they have the same effect."
"That is to say, Hongxiangfang has cooperation with the merchants from the Western Regions, but these cooperations are all handled by their boss. The shopkeeper only receives the goods and does not know anything else."
Lan Yangu's eyes were cold: "Where is the owner of Hongxiangfang?"
Changji said: "It's Meiyue, the dancing prostitute from Red Boat House."
"My subordinates have already sent someone to bring her over."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone from outside came back to report: "Mr. Chang, Miss Meiyue is dead!"
Chang Ji suddenly stood up: "Why are you dead?"
"When did you die and how did you die?"
The person who came back reported: "He died at home. He was asked to do an autopsy. He was hanged in the afternoon!"
Chang Ji's face was very ugly: "Sir Zun, we are one step late again!"
Lan Yan's face was gloomy, as if he had thought of something, he raised his head and said, "Where's Li Chaorui who sent you to keep an eye on him?"
"Has he been anywhere today?"
Chang Ji said: "After Prince Li left Hongxiangfang today, he first went to the General's Mansion, then to the Governor's Mansion, and then returned to Hongchuanfang to have wine and have fun."
Lan Yan's face was cold. Li Chaorui stayed at the Red Boat House every time he came. The owner of Hongxiang House, Mei Yue, was also a dancing prostitute at the Red Boat House. Li Chaorui was also extremely lustful.
He stood up: "I'm going to see him!"
At this time, Li Chaorui was half drunk. He looked at the two women waiting beside him and picked one of them up by the chin: "Where's Mei Yue? Why don't you see her dancing today?"
The woman laughed sweetly: "Master, you only have Meiyue in your heart, and no one else!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, are our sisters not serving you well?"
Li Chaorui pinched the chin of one of them, looked around, then hugged him directly and laughed: "It's true, you sisters were also the ones serving me last night!"
“Excellent service!”
Then, with a wild smile, the big hand began to act dishonest.
Suddenly, the door outside was kicked open. Li Chaorui was startled. He was stunned for a moment when he looked at the person. With a look of surprise on his face, he pushed away the woman in his arms: "Oh, Lan.
Brother, why are you here?"
"I thought you were very busy today and didn't have time to come over and stay with me?"
"Come on, come on, sit down quickly, I'll find two girls for you!"
Lan Yangu strode in, picked up his collar, and looked at him with cold eyes: "You know Miss Meiyue, the owner of Hongxiangfang, right?"
Li Chaorui was stunned: "I know him!"
"Isn't she the maiko here?"
"What's wrong?"
Lan Yanyan stared at him: "She's dead!"
Li Chaorui's expression changed: "What?"
"She's dead?"
"How did you die? What's going on?"
Lan Yanyu sneered and let go of him: "I was at home this afternoon and hanged myself."
Li Chaorui couldn't believe it: "Why did she hang herself?"
"Is it because of Miss Chi's disappearance? Is it really related to her?"
"But why did she kidnap Miss Chi?"
Lan Yanyu looked at Li Chaorui: "Why did she kidnap Qingqing? Whether she kidnapped her or not, even if she is dead, I will find out clearly."
"It's you, Li Chaorui, what's your relationship with Meiyue?"
"Does what happened today have anything to do with you?"
Li Chaorui was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted. He frowned slightly, waved his big hand, and asked the girl in the room to leave. Then he said, "Lan Yangu, it's meaningless for you to talk like this!"
"
"I can understand why you are worried and anxious because your fiancée is missing, but what does this matter have to do with me?"
Lan Yanyu sneered: "Then tell me, what is your relationship with Meiyue?"
Li Chaorui looked at him: "You are so powerful, how could you not find out?"
"I have been to Changzhou twice before, and the girl Meiyue I met is very good in bed, so I stay at Red Boat Fang every time I come here just to spend the night together."
"It's just that, what else does it have to do with it?"
Lan Yanyan stared at him: "Really?"
"Li Chaorui, do you know that this proves that she is yours, and my fiancée disappeared in your shop? If you want to tell me that this matter has nothing to do with you, do you think I will believe it?"
Li Chaorui raised his eyebrows: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it."
"You can check."
After saying that, as if he had thought of something, he looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Oh, by the way, after I came to Changzhou, didn't you send people to keep an eye on me?"
"Do you think I have a chance to make a move, or do you think I have a chance to do something?"
Lan Yan's eyes were cold: "Prince Li is really smart."
Li Chaorui said quietly: "Lan Yangu, my father used to be your coach, and I have always regarded you as a brother. Now you have to blame me for this unreasonable thing?"
"Or are you going to take me back to the Secret Guard Department for a first trial?"
Lan Yanzhen stared at him, his dark eyes were cold. The next second, he sneered: "The prince is joking. The secret guard department may be able to arrest others in this way, but to arrest the prince, evidence is still needed.
of."
Li Chaorui smiled with satisfaction: "That's good!"
"Besides, this prince has no grudges against your fiancée. Why should you arrest her?"
However, it was just that my sister made a big fuss, so I took her back and let her torture her to vent her anger. Moreover, he didn't show up during the whole process. What does this have to do with him.
Lan Yanyan clenched his palms: "It's best like this."
"Otherwise, if I find out that this matter has something to do with you or Prince Qi's Mansion, then don't blame me for not remembering the comradeship we once shared on the battlefield."
Li Chaorui smiled: "Brother Lan, you have long since stopped thinking about comradeship!"
