Seeing Gu Ying staring blankly at the Thunderbolt in his hand, Li Nanke raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, asking doubtfully.
Gu Ying pursed her red lips, withdrew her gaze and said, "I remembered something. One of my senior brothers was kicked out of Linggu by his father because he broke the rules.
Later, perhaps for revenge, on the day of my wedding, he sneaked into the forbidden area of Linggu and stole many treasures. Although my father was furious, for some reason, he did not send anyone to pursue them. This matter was over.
That’s it.”
Li Nanke raised his eyebrows, "So you suspect that this sky-breaking thunder came from your senior brother?"
"It's been so many years, and I don't know."
Gu Ying shook her head, "It's just that no outsiders have broken into the Linggu forbidden area in these years. There should be no magical weapons stolen. If someone steals it, my husband... Jiang Xue will definitely know it."
"Is there any way to contact your senior brother?"
"have."
"have?"
Li Nanke was quite surprised.
He just asked casually.
After being kicked out of the sect and stealing the sect's treasures, shouldn't he hide his name and run away without a trace?
Can we still contact you?
This senior brother has such a big heart.
Gu Ying lowered her eyes slightly and whispered: "A few years ago, when Qiu'er was still practicing in Linggu, senior brother secretly sent me a letter and told me his current address..."
Hearing this, Li Nanke's eyes suddenly became strange.
What's going on, Master?
Something doesn't sound right.
It can't be a lover.
But it's impossible to think about it. Gu Ying is very traditional at heart. When you marry a chicken, you will follow the chicken. If you marry a dog, you will follow the dog.
She was previously married to Yan Jiangxue, and even though he treated her coldly, she remained consistent and abided by women's ethics. She even took the risk of kidnapping Bai Fenghuang in order to help her "husband" Yan Jiangxue practice, which led to her being bullied by Li Nanke and ruining her innocence.
It is impossible to have an affair with my senior brother.
At this time, Gu Ying also noticed Li Nanke's eyes, and instantly understood what the other person was thinking, and quickly explained:
"Don't think too much, senior brother and I have nothing to do. Senior brother did mention to my father that he wanted to marry me, but my father didn't agree, and I didn't take it to heart. Although senior brother also hinted, at that time I didn't like him
It’s just the feeling of brother and sister…”
"Okay, okay, you explain to me what these are doing."
"because--"
Gu Ying opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment, her beautiful and flawless face showed a hint of blush.
Yes, why is she so anxious to explain.
Even though her apprentice Luo Qianqiu had already hinted at it, she and Li Nanke finally...
Gu Ying sighed secretly, feeling sad.
Li Nanke asked the key point, "So where is your senior brother's address?"
"It's in the capital." Gu Ying calmed down and kept her emotions from showing, and said softly, "The letter said that he runs a restaurant called 'Liuyun', but the specific location is not specified."
Flowing clouds?
Li Nanke silently remembered it in his heart.
…
When he fell asleep late at night, Li Nanke entered the world of Red Rain and planned to chat with the real Empress Dowager Helan Xiaoxiao. Unfortunately, the foodie had completely disappeared and could not be found.
However, the barrier destroyed by Ye Yaoyao was miraculously repaired and blocked the door of the wedding room again.
Could it be that it was repaired by Princess Shanyun?
But the other party shouldn't be that capable.
The next day, Li Nanke changed the direction of the investigation and no longer went to the Empress Dowager to investigate. Instead, he sent Tieniu and others to look for a restaurant named "Liuyun".
As long as it is a restaurant opened in the capital, you can always find it.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, the clue to the restaurant came.
What surprised Li Nanke was that according to the information he investigated, the "Liuyun" restaurant closed down four years ago due to poor management and was renovated and turned into a brothel.
That is, the Yun Chun Building that Li Nanke went to investigate before.
Li Nanke told his wife Gu Ying about this incident.
Gu Ying was very surprised when she learned about it, "Brothel? Are you sure?"
"Sure."
Li Nanke asked, "Did your senior brother send you another letter later?"
"No."
Gu Ying shook her head.
Li Nanke touched his chin and said: "If your senior brother does not manage the restaurant well and sells the restaurant to others, it will be difficult to find him. But if he is the boss behind Yun Chun House, the problem will be big. Gao Yuyan, the brothel's old madam,
But they are people from the underworld."
"So... it's possible that senior brother has joined the underworld?"
Gu Ying's pretty face changed slightly.
Recalling the sky-breaking thunder found in the secret passage, Li Nanke speculated, "I dare not draw a conclusion as to whether they are from the underworld, but your senior brother should be in the same group as the fake empress dowager."
Gu Ying sighed softly and remained silent.
"Let's go to Yunchun Tower." Li Nanke suddenly suggested.
"I am coming too?"
The woman's almond-shaped eyes tightened.
Li Nanke said: "Instead of guessing here, it is better to ask in person."
"But……"
"Let's go."
Li Nanke couldn't help but forcefully dragged Gu Ying to Yun Chun Tower.
Because it was approaching evening, Yun Chun Tower was already bustling with activity, unlike the last time it was deserted during broad daylight.
Under the bright lights, it was a gorgeous scene.
The fragrant singing and the music of the piano are intertwined, the drunken guests are drinking and having fun, and the charming women are smiling and serving the guests, creating a joyful atmosphere.
Gu Ying, who had a traditional personality, had never seen such a scene before. She followed Li Nanke with a red face, her eyes were disgusted, and she refused to look at those shameful scenes.
I thought that these women were really shameless and allowed themselves to be abused by men.
But inexplicably, I thought that I was also having an affair with my apprentice's husband, and they were entangled in it. It didn't seem to be any better. It was difficult to compare for a while, and I felt full of shame.
Gu Ying, who has the charm of a married woman, and Li Nanke, who has an extraordinary temperament, attracted everyone's attention as soon as they appeared.
Gu Ying, in particular, has a graceful and plump figure, an outstanding and beautiful face, and a dignified and yet proud temperament. She is in sharp contrast to the brothel oiran and makes many men salivate secretly.
However, he was greedy, but when he saw Li Nanke's deliberate display of the night patrol commander's card, no one dared to step forward and cause trouble.
"Hey, why is Mr. Li interested in coming to our Yun Chun Building again?"
Madam Gao Yuyan was a little surprised when he saw Li Nanke suddenly appeared, but he had a bright smile on his face, like the spring breeze blowing.
"I'm looking for someone."
"Looking for someone? I wonder who Mr. Li wants to find?"
Li Nanke turned aside and asked Gu Ying to say the senior brother's name.
Recalling that last time Li Nanke was with a beautiful girl named He Xinyue, and now he is surrounded by a handsome young woman with a completely different style, I couldn't help but lament the way men pick up girls.
"Wei Zhenyan."
Gu Ying said the name.
The smile on Gao Yuyan's face froze.
Li Nanke, who had been observing the woman's expression, saw this scene and concluded that this brothel was closely related to Gu Ying's senior brother - in other words, the other party was also a person from the underworld.
Gao Yuyan put on a blank expression and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I have never heard of -"
"One stick of incense at most."
Li Nanke was too lazy to argue with the other party and said in a very domineering tone, "If he doesn't come, I guarantee that your brothel will be closed tomorrow, and you will also be jailed."
