Leaving the courtyard where he lived, Chu Tianshu said: "Where is this Huanxiang Pavilion?
Why does it sound like a brothel?"
Hearing this, Jiang Nujiao choked on her own saliva and coughed repeatedly.
After a long while, Jiang Nujiao stopped coughing and explained to Chu Tianshu: "You can understand this Huanxiang Pavilion as an underground organization."
After speaking, she added: "The Pavilion Master, Aunt Ping, is one of the most powerful people in Hongye City."
Chu Tianshu curled his lips: "So awesome?"
He looked at Jiang Nujiao: "Where does this Aunt Ping come from?"
Jiang Nujiao said: "Let the lady tell you about this."
Seeing Jiang Nujiao's secretive expression, Chu Tianshu became even more curious.
Murong Di's residence is adjacent to the courtyard where Chu Tianshu lives, and across a garden.
Soon, the two of them arrived outside Murong Di's yard.
Murong Di has already told the servants in the mansion that Chu Tianshu can go in and out of any place in the mansion at will.
Therefore, the guard at the door just saluted Chu Tianshu and did not go in first to report.
The two walked into the courtyard and saw that the lights in Murong Di's room were still on.
Jiang Nujiao stopped a maid and asked, "Have you rested, Miss?"
The maid bowed slightly: "No."
Chu Tianshu and Jiang Nujiao walked into the room and saw Murong Di drinking tea.
Jiang Nujiao cupped her fists and saluted: "Miss."
Chu Tianshu walked forward and called: "Mom."
Murong Di motioned Chu Tianshu to sit down opposite her, with a smile on her lips: "Why don't you rest more?"
Chu Tianshu said: "I have something to ask you."
Murong Di poured a cup of tea for Chu Tianshu and asked, "What's going on?"
Chu Tianshu said: "Long Xiang was captured."
Murongdi looked at Jiang Nujiao.
Jiang Nujiao stepped forward and said, "It was the people from Huanxiang Pavilion who did it."
Murong Di looked at Chu Tianshu: "Is he Long Tingxi's son?"
Chu Tianshu was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Yes, his father is the current Chief Envoy of the Jedi Guard in China."
Seemingly seeing the confusion in Chu Tianshu's eyes, Murong Di said: "There are not many families in China who can enter the Jedi Land, have a Qiankun Ruler, and have a surname of Long."
"A member of the Long family?"
Jiang Nujiao snorted heavily, "Then don't worry about him."
Chu Tianshu's eyes flashed: "Do we have any grudges with the Long family?"
Jiang Nujiao sneered and said: "If the Long family had not caused trouble with the four major families, we would not have fallen into the Wenzhou Jedi. Otherwise, how would Long Tingxi have the opportunity to take over the position of the Chief Envoy of the Shenzhou Jedi Guard."
"Jiaojiao, if there is no evidence, just think about it in your heart."
Murong Di said something, looked at Chu Tianshu and asked: "You have a good relationship with that young man named Long Xiang?"
Chu Tianshu said: "I have never met him before entering Jedi this time, but we have been through thick and thin recently, and I think his nature is not bad."
Murong Di nodded and stood up: "Since you want to save me, I will accompany you."
She looked at Jiang Nujiao and continued: "Let's not talk about whether that matter has anything to do with the Long family. Long Xiang was still young at that time, and the grievances of the previous generation have nothing to do with their generation."
Jiang Nujiao remained silent.
"Son, I'm going to change clothes, you wait."
After saying that, Murongdi entered the bedroom.
Not long after, Murong Di came out of the bedroom after changing her clothes, took Chu Tianshu into the carriage and left.
The carriage traveled all the way through Hongye City and finally arrived at an area northwest of the city.
Different from the prosperity in other parts of Hongye City, the houses in this area are all low, dilapidated and messy. The ground is littered with human and animal excrement and all kinds of garbage. You can even see rotten corpses that have been chewed by animals.
Waves of stench came, and Chu Tianshu hurriedly closed the window.
He looked at Murong Di and asked, "Is this the slum of Hongye City?"
"That's right."
Murong Di said: "This place is less than a quarter of the total area of Hongye City, but it contains more than half of the population of Hongye City."
Chu Tianshu said: "It seems that the gap between the rich and poor in Jedi is also very large."
Murong Di smiled: "A handful of people control most of the wealth in society. The same situation exists in Jedi."
The carriage passed through a large number of dilapidated buildings and finally came to a gate that was ten meters high.
There are solid blue walls on both sides of the gate, which turns out to be a city within a city.
Chu Tianshu stretched his head out of the window and could see a tall wooden building not far away.
Jiang Nujiao, who was riding a horse to clear the way, stepped forward to negotiate for a few words, and the heavy solid wood door suddenly opened.
The carriage drove in.
Chu Tianshu saw that when entering the door, all his guards handed over their weapons. Obviously this was not the first time they had done this.
Chu Tianshu's eyes flashed and he asked: "Mom, who is that Aunt Ping?"
His mother's follower Jiang Nujiao could become a general in the city lord's palace, but he had to hand over weapons to an underground organization, which surprised Chu Tianshu.
"Her name is Liu Jiping."
Murong Di said quietly, "She is your uncle's wife."
It turned out that he was still from the Murong family.
Chu Tianshu thought to himself: It seems that the power of the Murong family has penetrated into every aspect of Hongye City, and it is simply taking both black and white.
The buildings inside the wall are all tall and majestic, forming a sharp contrast with those outside the wall.
The carriage walked another five or six hundred meters and arrived in front of the tall building.
Chu Tianshu followed Murong Di and got off the carriage.
In front of the building, two rows of tall and burly Jedi men stood solemnly, each with stern eyes and fierce aura.
But it can be seen that these people are very respectful towards Murong Di.
Seeing Murong Di approaching, they all beat their chests with their right fists and saluted.
Murong Di took Chu Tianshu directly into the wooden building.
Jiang Nujiao did not follow, but waited outside the building with others.
After entering, a woman whose face was covered with black gauze came up to them, beat her chest with her right fist and saluted, and then led Murong Di and Chu Tianshu up the wooden stairs.
Then, they entered a large hanging basket that could accommodate more than a dozen people.
There is a noose above the hanging basket, pulling the hanging basket upward.
The hanging basket did not stop until it reached the top floor of the building.
Chu Tianshu and Murong Di stepped off the hanging basket and followed the woman who led the way into a spacious hall with an area of three to four hundred square meters.
At the top of the hall, there is a gauze curtain, and a figure can be faintly seen behind the gauze curtain.
Murong Di called out: "Sister Ping."
A slightly lazy voice came from behind the gauze curtain: "Xiaodi, I haven't seen you for a while."
Murong Di didn't hesitate and directly stated his intention: "I came to see Sister Ping today because I want to have a relationship with Sister Ping."
Liu Jiping didn't say anything, but picked up the tea cup and took a few sips before speaking slowly: "Who is the young man next to you?"
