Chapter 135 This woman is unusual
Qin Lang said: "I can testify to Brother Wang. He is with me when the incident happened." Wang Houting did not have time to come to Changhua Tower to set fire, but Qin Lang could not prove whether Wang Houting had collusion with the old witch, but he just believed in Wang Houting's character.
Luo Dongcheng glanced at Qin Lang: "Guard Qin, you have nothing to do here, let me deal with the follow-up."
Qin Lang nodded. Is Luodongcheng picking fruits openly? In fact, he is an alien in the Demon Suppression Division. If Sang Jingtian's original intention was to wedge a nail into the Demon Suppression Division, but now with the Demon Suppression Division being destroyed, his role has become dispensable. Chen Weiyu is about to go to Yongdu. He is escorted by name and should be temporarily left Chiyang. This time he can see Xue Wu again when he goes to Yongdu.
Since seeing Lu Xingqiao, Qin Lang has become vigilant about the Sang family. He does not want to continue to be used by the Sang family. This time he went to Yongdu to prepare to take Xue Wu away, and his destiny can only be controlled by his own hands.
Qin Lang met Gu Xiefei on the way back to the inn. Gu Xiefei also heard that there was a fire in the Jingshui Painting Academy, so he came over to see Qin Lang, so he naturally had no need to go. Qin Lang turned over and dismounted, Gu Xiefei sniffed, pointed to the newly bought dark horse and said, "This horse has a demonic spirit."
Qin Lang said: "There is a demon in my heart, and everything has a demonic aura."
Gu Xiefei reached out to touch the horse, and the dark horse stared at him fiercely, panting.
Gu Xiefei smiled and said, "It's actually very fierce. Where did you pick up this monster?"
"It's a long story, let's go back to the inn."
Back at the inn, Qin Lang told Gu Xiefei and Zhao Changqing what he had today. Gu Xiefei heard that Qin Lang killed the old witch, but he did not show the surprise of Luo Dongcheng. After living with Qin Lang for a long time, he knew that this kid had endless potential. The more he burst out under extreme dangerous conditions, the greater his potential, he had a flexible mind and strong psychological quality. He was a person who was good at creating miracles.
Gu Xiefei once had the idea of accepting him as his disciple, but he never mentioned it again because he was afraid of causing the things he promised to kowtow to him but failed. Moreover, he also had self-knowledge that he could not teach Qin Lang's current strength.
Gu Xiefei said: "Luodongcheng is so shameless. Didn't this take away your credit?"
Qin Lang said: "I either care about the credit or find it a little strange."
“What’s strange?”
Qin Lang said: "This matter was originally suspected to be found in Tongyuan Trading Company, but today I went around and found out that Jingshui Painting Academy. And the old witch was actually hiding in the Painting Academy. Lao Gu, you also visited Changhua Tower that day, why didn't you find it?"
Gu Xiefei scratched his head and said, "Is it the old woman who is going back?"
Qin Lang said: "This possibility is not ruled out. I always feel that today there seems to be someone guiding me in secret, deliberately leaving clues for me to check it out."
Zhao Changqing said: "I think something is wrong after hearing what you said. Could it be that Luodongcheng has a problem and he deliberately pointed his doubts at Jingshui Painting Academy through you?"
Gu Xiefei looked at Zhao Changqing and praised: "Awesome, you nerd are actually enlightened."
Qin Lang said: "If someone is planning on purpose, the old witch will finally escape will be the perfect ending."
Gu Xiefei smiled and said, "Yes, it's a pity that the plan is not as good as change. No one expected that the old witch would die in your hands, and that he would lose rice if he could steal chickens."
Qin Lang said: "What we are exposed to is the surface. The destruction of the Demon-Suppressing Department is not that simple."
Gu Xiefei said: "What if he doesn't matter, we're going to Yongdu anyway. Leave this mess for the Demon Sect to clean up by itself."
"I'm just worried about Wang Houting, and I feel that he might be in trouble this time."
Qin Lang had a correct premonition. Wang Houting was taken away by the Demon Suppression Department that day. It is said that he was the most suspicious. Wang Houting escaped on the way for some reason, which is equivalent to fulfilling the suspicion.
That night, someone from the Demon-Suppressing Department came to search Qin Lang's residence, and Qin Lang felt that the matter was more suspicious.
The people from the Demon Suppressing Department had just left and someone arrived again. What Qin Lang unexpectedly was that this time he came Chen Zhong, the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion. He asked Qin Lang to come over to meet him at the order of Mrs. Chen.
Qin Lang guessed that Mrs. Chen should be for her daughter's business.
I thought Chen Zhong would take him to the Chen Mansion, but when I arrived, I realized that it was just a private garden called Qingya less than two miles away from the inn.
Chen Zhong asked Qin Lang to get off the carriage and said respectfully: "Please please in Master Qin."
Seeing that he had no intention of moving his steps, Qin Lang said strangely: "Don't you go?"
Chen Zhong said: "The old slave is waiting outside and will return to see Mr. Qin back."
Qin Lang nodded, walked in through the courtyard gate, passed a green bamboo, and walked through the pool of water like a crescent moon. The lights were on in the small building in front of him. Two drooping girls stood in front of the door holding palace lanterns and saluted respectfully when they saw Qin Lang.
Qin Lang sighed in his heart. The Chen family's financial resources are amazing, and the Chen family is luxurious enough. I didn't expect there was such a quiet and elegant garden. As an important official of the court, wasn't Chen Qiongnian afraid of gossiping with others? Then he thought that Chen Qiongnian was a son-in-law who had been in the back and got a lot of wealth from his father-in-law, and it was understandable to spend his wife's money.
When he walked into the building, he felt the air inside warm up. A young girl in green smiled and greeted her: "Young Master Qin is here, please come inside." He lifted the pearl curtain to guide Qin Lang.
The flower hall was as warm as spring. There was a picture of ancient autumn river embroidered on the screen that welcomed the door. Qin Lang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the screen. After all, there was enough things caused by this screen today, and there was actually a picture here. Is it a coincidence or intention?
A familiar laughter came from behind the screen: "Have you Mr. Qin come?"
Before seeing the person, Qin Lang judged that the owner of the voice was not Mrs. Chen but Xiao Honglei. Did Mrs. Chen even invite her to accompany her?
Qin Lang turned the screen and saw Xiao Honglei wearing a black long skirt, but did not see Mrs. Chen appear. It seemed that the one who was going to see him tonight was Xiao Honglei. I don’t know what purpose she intended to be under the banner of Mrs. Chen. Because it was Chen Zhong, the butler of the Chen family, came forward, so Qin Lang had no doubts from the beginning.
Qin Lang clasped his fists and saluted: "Hello, Boss Xiao!"
Xiao Honglei smiled and said, "I originally wanted to have a chat with you in the morning, but I was afraid that you would not give me such a face, so I asked you out under the banner of my sister. You won't be surprised, right?"
"Boss Xiao is polite. Thanks to his respect, Qin Lang is flattered."
Xiao Honglei is not simple. The mount he gave to him today was indeed planned. Qin Lang was very alert to Xiao Honglei. After all, Xiao Honglei was one of the lords of the three rivers of Banyuemen, and he killed Cheng Daoqing, the twelve pond masters. According to his master Lu Xingqiao, this matter must be hidden from the leader of Banyuemen Murong Binggu. Could it be that tonight was to settle the old accounts of Hongmen Banyuemen?
Xiao Honglei invited Qin Lang to sit down, and the girl in green poured wine for them.
The two of them drank a glass of wine, and Xiao Hong said in tears: "I still want to explain some things to you in person."
"Please tell me, Boss Xiao."
"This time Wei Yu entered the palace, which was the mourning period of the late emperor, so the ceremony was different from the past. According to the Queen Mother's instructions, Wei Yu went to Yongdu with the guards alone, and his family was not allowed to accompany him."
Although Qin Lang knew that Chen Weiyu had been designated as the queen, he did not know the specific arrangements for her to marry into the palace. After hearing what Xiao Honglei said, it seemed that going to Yongdu would not end immediately. In fact, it was not surprising that he thought about it. After all, the old emperor had just died and the funeral had not been completed. He could not hold a wedding ceremony for the new emperor now.
Xiao Hong said in tears: "Such a big thing happened in the Demon-Suppressing Department. Lord Chen originally proposed to return to Chiyang, but the empress dowager refuted it. All signs indicate that this matter is not simple."
Qin Lang didn't say anything because he didn't know Xiao Honglei's real motive at the moment, not to mention that everyone knows that he is Sang Jingtian's adopted son. Xiao Honglei is just the first time he met him, so why should he be intimate with him? Who can guarantee that she is not setting up a mystery in the old ways? Or be careful in words and actions and wait and see what happens.
"I have always regarded Wei Yu as my biological daughter. To be honest, I don't agree with this marriage." Xiao Honglei picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
The girl in green poured wine for her again, and Xiao Honglei waved her hand to signal her to avoid it.
After the girl in green left, Xiao Honglei looked at Qin Lang and said, "To be honest, Jiang Konghou took you to the Chen family to cause trouble. Although your motives are not pure, in my opinion, even if Wei Yu follows you, a boy with ulterior motives, she is much better than that little fool emperor."
Qin Lang was a little ashamed. It was still inconvenient to express his opinion at this time. Xiao Honglei was so concerned about Chen Weiyu. This was something he had not expected, and she spoke bluntly enough.
Xiao Hong said in tears: "You don't know me, so you can't help but be wary of me, but I don't mean anything to you, and I also know that Wei Yu has a good impression of you, otherwise she wouldn't call your name in person and ask you to escort her to Yongdu."
Qin Lang thought to himself, that's because you don't know that there is Lu Xingqiao behind you, and always feels that Xiao Honglei's concern for Chen Weiyu is a bit unusual.
"I'm very worried about her safety, but I can't interfere directly in this matter, so I can only ask you."
Qin Lang said: "It is my duty to protect Miss Chen, so Boss Xiao can rest assured."
"The child Wei Yu understands everything. He is too smart and too rational. The more he is, the more worried it is."
Qin Lang said: "Why didn't Boss Xiao tell her personally?"
Xiao Honglei shook her head and said, "She is too independent and too confident. In fact, she doesn't know what a woman's true happiness is." After drinking all the wine in the glass, Qin Lang helped her fill this time, and saw her worries in Xiao Honglei's eyes.
Xiao Honglei suddenly changed his mind: "You killed Cheng Daoqing, right?"
