However, Wei Xiaoying, who was worried about her mother's safety, did not care whether she would offend the ruthless judge Situ Tiannan, and asked eagerly: "What did she say?"
The ruthless judge anxiously replied: "The little girl said that she had indeed been to Brownstone Valley, and she had indeed seen a red-clothed masked woman leaving with something in her arms.
I had other important things to do, so I didn’t pursue it seriously.”
Nangong Haotian frowned and asked, "Then why did your concubine go to Brownstone Valley?"
The ruthless judge hurriedly replied: "According to my daughter, she was ordered by her master to do something important. As for what it is, my daughter said that she will tell you in person when she recovers tomorrow."
Nangong Haotian didn't answer, and his eyebrows furrowed even more tightly. This answer obviously didn't satisfy him, and he actually wanted to talk to me directly. Hum, then I will meet you.
Liu Qianwen suddenly asked: "So, your ladyship has also been to Donghai Langsha Transfer Station?"
Unexpectedly, the ruthless judge actually denied it resolutely: "No! After Manager Shan left, I also asked the little girl about this matter. She has never been to Langsha in the East China Sea, and she doesn't know that there is a transfer station in the East China Sea."
Wei Xiaoying did not believe it and asked: "I wonder who your respected master is?"
The ruthless judge looked troubled and said hesitantly: "Because my daughter has already confessed, please forgive me for the inconvenience."
"Junior is saying that since your concubine came to this valley on the orders of my master, she must be a senior who has connections with my family..." Wei Xiaoying said anxiously.
But before he finished speaking, the ruthless judge had already replied tactfully: "Miss Wei, I'd better ask my daughter in person tomorrow. I can't tell you this."
Wei Xiaoying guessed that the ruthless judge's daughter must also be related to her Wei family. According to this, it should be impossible for the ruthless judge's daughter to kidnap her mother.
Thinking of this, Wei Xiaoying couldn't help but turn around and look at Nangong Haotian and Liu Qianwen, and hesitantly speculated: "So, it could still be Sister Xiaowan who kidnapped my mother."
Nangong Haotian frowned, but before he could speak, the ruthless judge asked anxiously in surprise: "Is the sister Xiaowan that Miss Wei talked about the same as Miss Shangguan, the beloved daughter of the helmsman of the Northwest Branch?"
Liu Qianwen's eyes lit up and she asked with concern: "Yes, it's her. Has she ever been here before?"
"She was mentioned when the daytime chief came here. Especially when I heard that the Northwest Chief was selected by Shaolin Wudang and other sects. I am also worried about her whereabouts!" Judge Ruthless looked helpless.
Nangong Haotian has always been paying attention to Judge Ruthless's face, carefully observing Judge Ruthless's eyes and expressions. Ever since he talked about his daughter, his eyes began to flicker with fear.
While thinking about it, Nangong Haotian deliberately ignored Shangguan Xiaowan's affairs and asked in a deep voice: "Headmaster Situ..."
"The humble duty is here." The ruthless judge Situ Tiannan quickly replied.
Nangong Haotian pointed at several masked women in red clothes and asked in a deep voice: "Why do these sisters always cover their faces with black scarves and don't show their true colors to others?"
The ruthless judge hesitated and said: "This is my daughter's suggestion. It may be...or it may be that my views are naive and I just want to create a bit of mystery."
"So, there are no flaws on their faces?" A smile appeared on Nangong Haotian's lips.
"No, none." The ruthless judge shook his head and replied without hesitation.
"Then my sister doesn't have a pretty face?" Nangong Haotian's hand, which was caressing the Dragon Ascension Ring, suddenly placed it on the table.
The ruthless judge looked embarrassed for a while, but said seriously: "No."
Nangong Haotian nodded and said: "Since the sisters are all beautiful, what we at Demon Dragon Slaying Fort pay attention to is loyalty and honesty. There is no need to pretend to be mysterious. According to my opinion, from now on, any brother or sister's face and head,
You are not allowed to wear a black scarf anymore, does Chief Situ have any objections?"
"Of course I have no objection. Everything depends on the instructions of the young master!" Then, the ruthless judge ordered: "You guys, please take off your black scarves quickly."
Several women looked at Nangong Haotian gratefully, then tremblingly took off the scarves on their faces, revealing their appearance.
Liu Qianwen and Wei Xiaoying paid special attention and found that among the women in red, all had regular facial features. Although they were of different ages, none of them had purple scars on their faces.
After Nangong Haotian looked at several women in red, his eyes couldn't help but shine. Although some of these people were over thirty years old, they had a more mature charm.
After only a second of hesitation, Nangong Haotian returned to normal. He did not see the woman in red who went to the inn yesterday evening to beg to live with him.
It seems that Situ Tiannan is not a good person, and his daughter is even more cunning! Nangong Haotian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his daughter must have been prepared for it.
While thinking about it, Nangong Haotian turned back to look at the ruthless judge and said in a deep voice with a displeased look on his face: "I hope to meet your concubine in advance as soon as possible. I hope she will also take off the black scarf on her face when we meet."
The ruthless judge said yes twice in succession, not daring to disobey him at all.
Nangong Haotian continued: "Also, I don't care what method you use, and I don't care whether you can do it or not. You must get Aunt Shan back to me before dawn."
Although the ruthless judge looked a little hesitant, he still respectfully agreed, looked at the three hall masters, and ordered: "Use all the power of your three halls, separate to look for it immediately, and report back at any time if there is any situation."
The three of them, Ma Jinbao and others, waved to the altar masters, incense masters, deacons, and others who were standing on both sides, gesturing to hurry forward. The altar masters bowed in response, led their subordinates, and hurried out.
At this moment, a woman in red came from the hall, bowed slightly to Nangong Haotian, and said: "The banquet is ready, please respectfully invite me to take a seat, young master."
The ruthless judge stood up in a hurry, bowed to Nangong Haotian, and said respectfully: "Young Master, please come to the table and have a drink, and we will respectfully discuss our future plans."
Nangong Haotian felt that there were still many things that had not been discussed, and most of the things were done at the wine table. Although he had already had dinner, there was no harm in eating a little more.
While thinking about it, Nangong Haotian stood up with a smile, and under the solemn guidance of the ruthless judge Situ Tiannan, he walked towards the back hall.
There are seven tables in the center of the back hall, three on the left and four on the right, with single chairs and single tables. Obviously, the three guest tables are for Nangong Haotian and the others, and the remaining four tables are for Judge Wuqing and the three hall masters.
On the table were gold pots and silver dishes, fine porcelain wine glasses, ivory chopsticks, and rich dishes. After the seven people took their seats, seven maids standing on one side of the table immediately moved forward to fill the pots with wine.
When pouring the wine, Liu Qianwen realized that the gold pot and the porcelain cup were not a good match. For luxurious banquets, gold pots and silver cups were often used with jade and silver dishes.
With this discovery, Liu Qianwen subconsciously went to see Nangong Haotian, but saw that he showed no signs of vigilance.
However, when she turned back to look at Nangong Haotian, she found that the waitress' expression was a little nervous, and the wine pouring into the glass seemed a little strange, as if it was not very crystal clear.
When meeting a grand banquet or a big hero or a big shot, the maid who is full of wine will be a little nervous at first. Not to mention that Nangong Haotian looks like Pan An and is as handsome as Zidu, so it is natural for the maid to be nervous.
However, the strangeness of the wine and lust made Liu Qianwen particularly wary, so she hurriedly prepared to try the silver chopsticks. When she picked up the chopsticks, she realized that they were actually made of ivory.
Although ivory chopsticks can also detect poisons, they are not as fast as silver chopsticks. Moreover, some poisons are difficult to detect even with ivory.
At this moment, the ruthless judge on the opposite side had already raised his wine glass, and Nangong Haotian was also picking up the wine glass. Liu Qianwen was startled, and without hesitation, she said urgently: "Wait a minute."
Nangong Haotian, Judge Wu Qing and others were all stunned and stopped drinking.
Liu Qianwen looked very anxious, because she was not sure whether the wine was poisonous, and this was the home of the ruthless judge Situ Tiannan. If she went to test it rashly, he would definitely be unhappy, so
It will make it difficult for Nangong Haotian.
But the situation was urgent now. If it was really poisonous, then Nangong Haotian's life would be in danger. At this moment, Liu Qianwen still chose Nangong Haotian's safety.
She knew that even if there was a conflict with the ruthless judge, Nangong Haotian could escape. At worst, she would die here, but she was sorry for Wei Xiaoying.
So, Liu Qianwen hurriedly picked up her wine glass and put a few drops in front of the silver plate. However, after a long time, there was nothing unusual about the wine falling on the silver plate, which proved that the wine was not poisoned.
At this time, the ruthless judge on the opposite side was full of anger. He could not help but tremble violently all over. He asked angrily: "Miss Liu, are you agreeing? Could it be..."
But as soon as the words were spoken, Liu Qianwen, who was in a daze, suddenly stood up and ran to Nangong Haotian's table. She wanted to test the wine in Nangong Haotian's cup.
The ruthless judge, who had already run out of patience, shouted loudly and flew towards Miss Liu.
Liu Qianwen was about to look at the wine in Nangong Haotian's cup, but the ruthless judge had already reached out and grasped Liu Qianwen's jade wrist that was about to extend, and said angrily: "Miss Liu, you are going too far. Do you think I am drinking?"
Poisoned?"
Liu Qianwen said without giving in: "I just think there is something wrong with Haotian's drinking..."
"Do you see anything strange?" Judge Ruthless raised the wine glass in front of Nangong Haotian and said angrily.
Nangong Haotian also looked at Liu Qianwen inexplicably, but he was a little unhappy when Situ Tiannan held his woman's hand. He stretched out his hand and touched Situ Tiannan's palm.
"Young master!" Situ Tiannan was suddenly startled, and immediately realized what he was doing, and shouted in panic.
