Chapter 30
As soon as Pang Yu and the others boarded the flower boat of the Jade Immortal Pavilion, they were immediately met with the hostility of the guards. The group of people glared at Pang Yu and the others like tigers eyeing their prey.
"What are you doing? Take a good look at who I am. Don't tell me you want to rebel?”
I said coldly as I looked at the guards who were holding weapons against me.
"What does Marquis An Le want to do? This is the flower boat reserved by the Jade Immortal Tower ~"
One of the people who seemed to be the leader said coldly.
"Ha ~ Good fellow, looks like you guys are really going to rebel. Take them down ~"
Pang Yu coldly snorted.
" Slow down!"
At this moment, the brothel madame finally walked out and hurriedly said,""Put it down. Lord Marquis, this is a misunderstanding. They don't know the rules. Don't be calculative with them ~"
The Madame waved her handkerchief and said loudly.
"Bicker? Hehe, I like to argue with people. Today, a small guard dared to point a knife at me. Would he dare to put a knife on my neck in the future? Gao Baoshen, chop them up and throw them into the river ~"
" Alright, let's go! Kill them all and throw them into the river to avenge Lord Marquis!"
Gao Baoshen waved his hand, and the Imperial Army soldiers immediately surrounded them. Without saying a word, they waved their sabers and slashed. Those people actually resisted. Their martial arts were not weak, but they could not stop the elite Imperial Army in the end. In a few moves, pools of blood appeared on the flower boat. The guards of the Jade Immortal Pavilion were also hacked to death and thrown into the river.
Pang Yu sat on the chair with his arms spread out, looking at the Madame and said coldly,""Your Jade Immortal Tower sure has guts to oppose me.”
"Lord Marquis, it's all a misunderstanding. It's really a misunderstanding. Those people didn't recognize Lord Marquis's true appearance and offended Lord Marquis. Now that Lord Marquis has chopped them to vent his anger, please calm down.”
As she spoke, the Madame called out,"Ladies, quickly come and serve Lord An Le."
" There's no need for that. Ask everyone on your boat to come out. Take off your face cloth and stretch out your hands. Otherwise, don't blame me for starting a massacre."
As Pang Yu spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, appearing cold.
The brothel madame did not dare to disobey. After a while, the hall was filled with people. However, when Pang Yu swept his gaze over, his eyes turned cold.
"Do you think I'm easy to bully? Where's your Courtesan Belle? Why aren't you bringing it out for me?"
"Lord Marquis, our Miss Yuxuan slept very late last night and has yet to wake up. You see…"
The Madame said with some difficulty,"Lord Marquis, why don't this servant find you a few courtesans?"
"Whoosh ~"
The sound of a sword being drawn could be heard, and a steel knife was already placed on the brothel madame's neck.
" Bring her out immediately, or I'll chop you up!"
" Okay, okay, okay! I'll go now! I'll go now!"
The brothel madame ran off to call the courtesan of the Jade Immortal Brothel.
After a while, the brothel madame came out with the dolled up Die Yu Xuan. However, the Butterfly Whisper Pavilion was not wearing a face mask. Its expression was not right. Its eyes were slightly red, as if it had just cried. Die Yu Xuan stood with them and stretched out her hands. Her eyes were filled with fear, and her outstretched hands looked like they were about to retract. This made Pang Yu a little suspicious. However, he did not show it. He carefully looked at their hands and faces.
Then, he left the flower boat of the Jade Immortal Pavilion.
"Lord Marquis, did you discover anything?"
Zhan Zhao asked curiously.
"Yes, but it's a big problem. There were a few suspicious points, so let's talk about Shaohua Pavilion first. Firstly, the Courtesan Belle of the Splendid Pavilion, Miao Xiangrong. There were many suspicious points about this person, so let's not talk about her martial arts for the time being.
When we were on the flower boat of the Shaohua Pavilion, I noticed that when the brothel madame berated her, although he looked aggrieved, his eyes did not reveal that kind of grievance and despair. In other words, our eyes were deceiving us. Miao Xiangrong might not be as wronged as we thought.
Second, when I saw Miao Xiangrong's appearance, I was amazed by her appearance and carefully examined her. She moved slightly towards me. It was as if she was telling me that she didn't mind me sizing her up.
The third suspicious point is that the women of the Splendid Pavilion, did you notice that the way they looked at Miao Xiangrong was a little strange, as if they admired her. This kind of gaze should not appear in a brothel.
The fourth suspicious point is about the Jade Immortal Tower. When we boarded the ship, they were too vigilant and even hostile. There was no fear in his eyes. Who am I? They weren't afraid? What was the reason?
The fifth suspicious point was that the Courtesan Belle of the Jade Immortal Tower was in a daze the second before she walked into the hall. She seemed to have been frightened and her eyes were slightly red. It was obvious that she had cried. Although the courtesan was the property of the brothel, the brothel also needed the courtesan to make money. They would never bully the courtesan too much, let alone make her cry.
When I checked Die Yu Xuan's hand and looked into her eyes, I found that she didn't hate me. Instead, she looked forward to it. Why is that?"
Zhan Zhao didn't say anything. There were too many suspicious points, and his brain couldn't keep up.
"Lord Marquis, what should we do now?”
Zhan Zhao asked. However, Pang Yu did not reply. He turned around and saw Pang Yu looking at the Wen Mo Xuan's flower boat in the distance.
"Lord Marquis, what are you looking at? Do we still have to go to Wen Mo Xuan's flower boat?”
"There's no need to go. Wen Mo Xuan's flower boat is too far away, and it's too eye-catching. They won't have a chance to commit a crime. Let's go, follow me back to the Grand Preceptor Residence. I need to tidy up.”
As Pang Yu said that, he recalled the figure who had sneakily jogged away just now.
"What is this girl in red doing?”
Pang Yu thought slowly in his heart.
They had just disembarked from the ship and had yet to leave when screams came from Wen Mo Xuan's boat.
" Someone's dead! Someone's here!"
" Reporting officer! Someone's dead!"
This voice was very sharp. Pang Yu and the others suddenly turned their heads to look at Wen Mo Xuan's flower boat.
"Let's go up and take a look ~"
Pang Yu didn't dare to be negligent, afraid that this was a clue related to Ouyang Xiu's disappearance.
Arriving at Wen Mo Xuan's flower boat, he found that the people on it were very flustered. However, Pang Yu did not care. It was reasonable for them to panic when someone died.
"Ah ~"
Suddenly, a young girl stumbled and bumped into a soldier. The empty bowl and tray in her hands fell to the ground.
"Why are you so careless? Watch where you're going ~"
Pang Yu smiled helplessly. He bent down to pick up the bowl and handed it to her."Be careful when you walk in the future. If you're pushed into the river, don't blame others.”
"Thank you, Young Master ~"
The girl smiled shyly, put the bowl on the tray, and quickly slipped away. Looking at the water stains on his hands, he smiled helplessly and wiped them off casually. He didn't care. It was just water from the bottom of the bowl.
" Get out of the way! Marquis An Le is here! Hurry up and get out of the way!"
Gao Baoshen shouted loudly at the side. When the surrounding people heard that it was Marquis An Le, they quickly made way. The status of being the Imperial Uncle and the son of the Grand Preceptor was enough to make Pang Yu one of the top profligate sons. Not many people could afford to offend him.
When Pang Yu walked to the kitchen door of the flower boat, he found a woman in red lying on the floor with blood flowing out of her mouth. This red-clothed woman was the one he had vaguely seen just now. His gaze couldn't help but narrow. In less than fifteen minutes, she had actually died tragically on the flower boat.
"She should have died from poisoning."
Zhan Zhao looked at Pang Yu and said. He was also a Jianghu person, so he knew the most basic things. He did not know what kind of poison it was, but he could tell at a glance whether it was poisoned to death.
