withered prosperity

"Did something happen during the interrogation?" Bai Linkui asked anxiously, "Have you found out the murderer?"

Of course, the man would not answer him, but just faced him with that frighteningly smiling face and said some perfunctory words.

"Okay, Linkui, come back and sit down first." Bai Linyun frowned and called him: "Don't forget what this place is, how can you run around?"

Only then did Bai Linkui walk back unwillingly.

The man didn't leave either, but came over to greet the servants to bring tea and water.

"I wonder if Master Bai can tell me how this Miss Le was killed?" Yin Yutang continued to ask.

"It's quite strange to say this, and our Lele can be regarded as an obedient child." Bai Linyun glanced at Bai Linkui: "My lord knows, our Bai family also has many yards and a big yard, Lele, I don't know why I ran away to a desolate yard where no one lived."

"The Bai family is rich and powerful, and there are many slaves in the family. Doesn't anyone know Miss Le's whereabouts?"

Bai Linyun looked at Bai Yinuo, motioning for his son to answer this question.

"When the body was found in the morning, everyone panicked. At that time, I asked, but no one stood up and said." Bai Yinuo took a step forward and replied: "Murong County King arrived very quickly, and has already taken all the people in Lele's yard. All the slaves and servants have been brought back to the Prison Division for interrogation."

"Is it possible that he was killed elsewhere and then moved here?"

"At that time, Lele was neatly dressed, it didn't look like she was killed after falling asleep."

"I heard..." Yin Yutang took a sip of tea: "Miss Le is quite similar to those women who were killed a while ago when she went to Beijing?"

Bai Linkui cried again.

"Yes." Because it was his own female family member and the elders were all present, Bai Yinuo couldn't describe it in too much detail, so he could only say: "The people from the prison department took a rough look and said that it was the same as the murder cases before going to Beijing. The techniques are quite similar, but exactly how it is will not be confirmed until Governor Xue inspects it."

"The murderer has become more and more daring. Before, he only dared to walk in remote streets and alleys, but now he dared to break into the White Mansion to commit murder."

Everyone was about to echo their emotions when suddenly someone broke in.

It is said to be breaking, but it is more like tripping over the threshold and falling into the door.

The voice was quite loud, and everyone sitting in the hall was stunned for a moment, and turned their heads to look in unison.

Murong Yu covered her head and got up from the ground.

"Why is it so lively?" She looked up and saw everyone staring at her, startled.

"Little fish?" Yin Yutang frowned and looked at her: "You are..."

Not only was she wearing men's clothes, but her hair was also combed into a man's style. At first glance, she looked like a handsome young man.

No... comely dandy.

Because when she got closer, everyone could smell a strong smell of wine mixed with the aroma of rouge...

"My lord!" Murong Yu saluted him and said hello, but he was a little top-heavy, and suddenly fell to his knees on the ground.

"Get up!" Yin Yutang looked at her with disgust: "What kind of wine do you drink at a girl's house? If the county king sees it, you will be angry again."

Murong Yu chuckled twice and got up from the ground.

"Uncle! Cousin! Hello!" She kowtowed to the two members of the Bai family again.

"Cousin, are you okay!" Bai Yinuo hurried over to help her.

"It's okay!" Murong Yu pushed his hand away, and kowtowed to Bai Linkui: "The noble concubine is a thousand years old!"

"What is this kid yelling!" Bai Linkui was quite helpless. "Yinuo, quickly help her up."

"Hey? It's not the imperial concubine!" Murong Yu got up by herself, and looked at him closely: "Yes! Second Master Bai! You look a lot like your empress! But what happened to your eyes, were they swollen from being beaten? ?”

"Okay, okay!" Bai Linkui covered his face with his sleeve, and waved her away with the other hand.

"How dare you hit our noble concubine's father! It's lawless!" Murong Yu persistently tugged at his sleeve: "Second Master, don't worry, tell me who did it! I will definitely avenge you! Beat him blind !"

"Okay, Cousin Yu!" Bai Yinuo came over and pulled her, "Sit down and have a rest first."

"Okay!" Murong Yu nodded sharply, but turned to see Yan Hai who was sitting there.

With such great strength, Bai Yinuo couldn't hold her, but she shook her off with a single change of hand.

"Yan Hai!" Murong Yu ran to Yan Hai in two or three steps, smiling happily: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, are you here to see me?"

"Princess, you're being polite." After getting closer, the smell of alcohol on Murong Yu's body became stronger, as if it was fished out of a wine tank. How much did she drink? "Why did the princess drink so much?"

"I didn't drink much!" Murong Yu told him with a smile, "I drank just a little."

She pointed her finger a little distance away, but she was obviously lying.

"Yan Hai, do you miss me?" She stood in front of Yan Hai, staggering: "I miss you every day, isn't this what you call missing for a day, thinking like crazy?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she fell forward and was about to fall into Yan Hai's arms.

Yan Hai was about to stretch out his hand to support her, but the person beside him quickly pushed Murong Yu half way with the long black sword.

"Huh?" Murong Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a while: "Did we meet somewhere?"

"Cousin." Bai Yinuo came over to pull her again: "Let's go over and sit down, drink some tea to sober up."

"Drinking tea can't sober you up!" Murong Yu looked down on him very much: "Bring me some good wine to sober up!"

"You're so drunk, you still dare to drink?" Bai Yinuo almost wanted to call her ancestors: "Cousin, lower your voice, the king heard it..."

"Let me tell you, my brother loves me. He won't be angry with me." Murong Yu put his fingers on his lips, making a gesture of silence: "Pretend to be angry, pretend!"

"Really?" Murong Ji suddenly appeared at the gate, his face turned greener: "Say it again and try!"

"What did you say?" Murong Yu grabbed the long sword on her shoulder with one hand, and after trying to pull it away failed, she let out a hearty laugh: "Hey! Faceless monster! You are also very strong! We Bibi!"

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Yan Hai would really have laughed along with him. He couldn't imagine what kind of expression the Chaomu Pavilion Master, who was regarded as a god by everyone, would be under the mask at this moment.

He covered his mouth and coughed, blocking the smile on his lips.

Yun Ji was looking over, but seeing his slightly curved eyebrows and lips with a smile, a mischievous look he had never seen before, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

On the other side, Bai Yinuo saw Murong Ji coming, so he retreated to the original place, leaned into Bai Linyun's ear and said a few words, which should be to introduce the identities of the two of them.

The way Bai Linyun looked at them became more meaningful.

Murong Ji had already walked behind Murong Yu, glanced at his younger sister, then sneered, stepped aside, revealing the thin middle-aged man behind him.

It was only then that everyone discovered that he had left quietly at some point, and they should have reported to Murong Ji after seeing Murong Yu.

"The king of the county..." The man held a wooden basin and looked at his boss in embarrassment.

Murong Ji glared at him.

"Princess, this subordinate is rude!" The man gritted his teeth and poured the contents of the basin over his head.

Yun Ji had been prepared for a long time, and when he just opened his mouth, he let go of his strength, and moved Yan Hai away from the original place.

Murong Yu suddenly lost her support, and fell forward into the chair, and then there was a "crash", she only felt cool from head to toe, and heard a crackling sound.

She wondered in a daze why there was so much ice in the bath water...

The rest of the crowd exclaimed, thinking that the rumor that Murong Ji treats his younger sister like a jewel in his palm is probably false.

It is extremely cruel to pour such a big basin of ice water on a girl's house.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Even Yin Yutang couldn't sit still: "Speak up if you have something to say, Xiaoyu is ignorant and you can just scold her, how can you treat her like this!"

Murong Ji turned his head to look at him with a cold and gloomy expression, which made Yin Yutang swallow the rest of his words.

"Murong Yu, are you awake?" He stood in front of his sister, blocking the view of the people behind him.

Murong Yu slid on the ground and looked up at him.

"Where were you last night?"

Because of the ice water, Murong Yu regained consciousness slightly.

"That..." She scratched her nose: "I didn't go anywhere last night..."

"Say!"

Murong Yu trembled all over, obediently said: "Hongyulou."

Everyone present showed indescribable expressions.

"Where is that place?" Yan Hai asked Yun Ji softly.

"Brothel." Yun Ji answered him simply.

Hongyulou is the most famous brothel in Shangjing, and it is also a gold-selling cave where thousands of dollars are spent. All the people present are either dignitaries or wealthy businessmen, and naturally most of them are regular customers there.

"Have you been there?" Yan Hai asked curiously. "is it fun?"

Yun Ji glanced at him and didn't bother to answer him.

Yan Hai lowered his head and looked at his hands that had not been let go, his heart was suddenly filled with joy.

On the contrary, although Murong Ji turned his back to everyone, just looking at his back, he felt that he might violently hurt others immediately.

"What did you do?"

"Brother, you're so stupid, what can I do?" Murong Yu chuckled: "Just drink and chat with Lian Lian!"

"one night?"

"Yes!" Murong Yu nodded.

Hua Lian is the number one card in Hongyu Building, and also the most expensive Honghu in Beijing. Day and night, people hold thousands of dollars and ask her to have a drink with her and watch her dance to a song. If they really want to kiss Fangze, the price You can even buy a big house in the most prosperous place in the capital.

Such a valuable red card, to drink with such a rude girl all night... Everyone's eyes were wrong.

"My son-in-law, if you want to teach your sister a lesson, go home and teach her a lesson!" Bai Linkui couldn't help it: "There's something serious about this..."

"Shut up." Murong Ji said lightly. "Murong Yu, you were in Hongyu Tower all night last night, didn't you go anywhere else?"

Murong Yu woke up again at this time, and poked her head out from her brother's leg to peek.

"Look at the fart! Answer me well!"

Murong Yu's expression can only be described as stunned.

"Brother, you are swearing..."

"Answer me well!" Murong Ji even stretched out his foot and kicked her calf.

"Yeah!" Murong Yu sneezed.

Murongji kicked her just now, but at this moment he took off his official uniform and wrapped her up.

"Brother..." Murong Yu showed a flattering smile, and was about to beg for mercy from him.

"Come here!" Murong Ji raised his voice and shouted: "Take her to the dark prison and lock her up for me!"
