I searched house to house and searched half of Taoliuli Bridge. I still couldn't find anyone or anything related to Jiangmei, but I destroyed one secret prostitution den after another.
The dense flow of people on the street gradually dispersed, but the crowd did not leave. Nearly a thousand people gathered across the street, semi-surrounded to watch the excitement.
Bailing handed over the wine transport convoy to a thug and returned quietly, hiding in the crowd and looking at the Taoliuli Bridge on the opposite side.
From the comments of others, we could tell that she and the wine convoy had just left at the front, and then the officers and soldiers came from behind.
And the other party's purpose is very clear, they are here to find Jiangmei.
Bai Ling didn't have any luck, he only felt terrible. This was the first level, and the dangers that followed were probably unimaginable.
Someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder, and Bai Ling almost screamed. He turned around in surprise and saw that it was Jiang Mei's thug who was better than Er Tou San, A Wu.
"Girl, let me give this to you." Awu handed over a note and said in a low voice.
Bai Ling opened it, took a look, and quickly closed it.
"The girl said, go now." Ah Wu said.
"Got it." Bai Ling said, glanced at the soldiers, turned around and left.
The note said that she should go to Feishuang Pavilion to find Manager Xu immediately, cut out the second half of the note and hand it to him. Manager Xu would help after reading it.
Bai Ling didn't have time to read the second half of the content because there were too many people here.
There are many roads from Feishuang Pavilion to here, so Bai Ling chose a shortcut.
Just as I walked out of an alley, I was greeted by the deafening sound of gongs and drums.
A long queue of nearly ten people came forward. The leader held his head high and held a gong and drum in his hand. After giving a heavy blow, he shouted loudly: "Anyone who is the accomplice of the criminal woman Jiangmei of Yanchun Tower must surrender quickly. Otherwise, we will be leniently spared!"
, dismembered by five horses, and cut into pieces with a thousand swords!”
Bai Ling was stunned.
Another loud sound of gongs and drums.
"Anyone who is an accomplice of Yanchunlou's criminal woman Jiangmei must surrender immediately and be spared lightly! Otherwise, they will be quartered with five horses and cut into pieces with a thousand knives!"
The sound of gongs and drums was so shocking that when he passed by Bai Ling, Bai Ling turned sideways and lowered his head, but his heartbeat missed a beat due to the sound of gongs and drums.
These people were not government guards, but their clothes and shoes made Bai Ling recognize them as Mrs. Qu's subordinates.
Another sound of gongs and drums was sounded, accompanied by the same shout: "Anyone who is accomplices of the criminal woman Jiangmei of Yanchun Tower must surrender immediately and be spared lightly! Otherwise, they will be quartered with five horses and cut into pieces with a thousand knives!"
Everyone around was whispering to each other, Bai Ling didn't dare to stay any longer and left quickly.
Today's Hengxiang seems to be particularly crowded. The talk of "changing the sky" is spreading throughout the city, but no one is hiding at home. On the contrary, the people are pouring into the streets like an army, inquiring about various news, and there are more news.
Lots of rumors.
Bai Ling was on tenterhooks for fear of being recognized. When he finally arrived at the long street where Feishuang Pavilion was located safely, he was blocked by a sea of people walking shoulder to shoulder.
Bai Ling felt uneasy in his heart and stood on tiptoes desperately, but still couldn't see.
The comments from others came to her ears, which made her completely dumbfounded.
The one who had the accident was none other than Feishuang Pavilion.
Just like the long street in front of Taoliuli Bridge, in front of Feishuang Pavilion, half of the street is empty and half of the street is airtight.
Bai Ling squeezed through the crowd, and there were soldiers standing in front of Feishuang Pavilion at the herringbone intersection with the same armor style as those at Taoliuli Bridge.
"Another troops are coming!" someone nearby said suddenly.
Bai Ling and the others followed the sound and looked to the north. They saw a group of cavalry coming over. The man leading the group was not wearing armor and was tall and thin. They hadn't gotten close yet, but they seemed to be able to appreciate its grace.
Shen Lie led his troops and reined in their horses in front of Feishuang Pavilion.
Countless pairs of eyes fell on him, and comments of amazement and curiosity intertwined.
Bai Ling opened his eyes and stared at his face, stunned for a moment.
She has been serving Jiangmei for many years, but apart from Jiangmei, there are few faces in the world that can catch her eye, but this man is extremely handsome, with a brilliant aura and pure jade quality.
If the crimson eyebrows are compared to a magnificent ten-mile brocade, with beauty capable of doing whatever one wants, this man is like a majestic jade mountain. His aura is astonishing from a distance, but the coldness is overwhelming when seen up close, and he can repel people from both distance and distance.
Feishuang Pavilion lobby.
All the diners and guests are on the right side of the door. The waiters and cabinet attendants are standing on the left. Standing at the right place is Shopkeeper Xu of Feishuang Pavilion.
Seeing Shen Lie coming in, shopkeeper Xu's eyes froze. Based on his appearance, he immediately knew who he was.
"This... general," Shopkeeper Xu said with a lump in his throat, "I wonder what the shop did wrong to provoke the general to mobilize troops like this."
Shen Lie did not answer immediately, but raised his eyebrows and glanced at the entire lobby.
The shopkeeper calls himself a "small shop", but in fact Feishuang Pavilion is a large inn comparable in size to Litingzhuang and Yujing Restaurant, and its style is very similar to the decoration and furnishings of those inns in the Yong'an Imperial Capital.
"General..." Shopkeeper Xu urged in a low voice.
Shen Lie raised his hand slightly to indicate.
Ye Zheng, who was standing beside him, stepped forward: "Zhang Yiqian, do you recognize him?"
"Zhang, Zhang Yiqian?" Shopkeeper Xu looked confused, "Which one is it?"
"What are you pretending to be!" Ye Zheng shouted suddenly, "You deserve a beating!"
"General, I really don't know Zhang Yiqian!"
Ye Zheng was furious: "We are chasing a woman named Jiangmei in Yanchun Tower. We found in her account book that Zhang Yiqian had bought a woman from her. The buyer Zhang Yiqian's residence was Feishuang Pavilion. According to Jiang Jiang Mei's personal maid told her that if she were not a regular customer, Jiang Mei would never do this business transaction. Therefore, since she wrote about you Feishuang Pavilion, this person is definitely from Feishuang Pavilion! If you still want to do it, If you protect this Yiqian, it will definitely not make things easier for you!"
"General!" With a thud, Shopkeeper Xu knelt down on the ground.
His forehead was pressed tightly against the ground, his eyes rolled back and forth, and he was sweating profusely.
News from Feishuang Pavilion spread in all directions. Not long after the accident at Yanchun Tower last night, Feishuang Pavilion received the news and learned that Jiangmei abducted someone who should not have been abducted.
But at that time, none of them thought that this matter would have something to do with Feishuang Pavilion.
This morning, something happened to the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce. Zhang Yiqian, who was at the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce, was also taken away.
Mrs. Chen immediately sent someone over to request that all previous correspondence in Feishuang Pavilion be cleared and the secret passage blocked.
This is their "old rule". Anyone who involves them, no matter how trivial it is, must cut off all contact as soon as possible.
And Zhang Yiqian is indeed their person.
As a result, Jiangmei actually had a ledger in his hand.
But it's okay. If it's just the dark eyebrows that cause these things, at least the current situation is not difficult to deal with.
"You still haven't told me the truth?!" Ye Zheng scolded angrily.
"Yes, indeed," Shopkeeper Xu quickly thought of words, "but that was before. Later, because of his bad words, he transferred to the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce and stopped dealing with us. General, this great general, if he commits a crime Whatever happened, it has nothing to do with Feishuang Pavilion, we are all serious businessmen!"
He knelt on the ground and looked at Shen Lie helplessly, with pitiful eyes full of pleading.
