After Li Chengfeng buried 'Liu Zhixi', Zhao Xiaobao carefully tried to persuade Li Chengfeng to go home. However, Li Chengfeng ignored him and went straight to the Primeval Pavilion, where he frequented. Zhao Xiaobao could only follow behind with a bitter face, regretting that he had handed the note to Li Chengfeng.

The Beryl Lodge was located on the west side of the Lotus Harvester Lane. It was situated in a busy city, and there were many visitors every afternoon or evening.

It was noon. The sun was high in the sky and the winter sun was warm. Li Chengfeng walked quickly into the restaurant and met the waiter's warm welcome.

The waiter was stunned when he saw Li Chengfeng. He subconsciously wanted to slip away, but Li Chengfeng slapped him on the shoulder. He could only turn his head and smile apologetically, "Yo, Young Master Li is here! "Quick, please take a seat inside. I haven't seen you in a while!"

Li Chengfeng gave a faint smile and said, "What, it's like I saw a ghost when I see you!" Do you think that the young master is going to be unlucky and should quickly distance himself from us? "

The waiter smiled apologetically, "Of course not! Seeing your glowing red face and the heaven filling up the pavilion's area, that is the appearance of a noble. Even if there is any misfortune, it would be turned into a disaster! "

Li Chengfeng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "You sound like you can hear me. Alright, I won't look for trouble with you today. Is my room upstairs empty? "

The waiter hunched his shoulders, bared his teeth and said: "Empty. Who dares to occupy your room! "

Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "Same old rules!" "Don't mix with the water, or I'll pour it through your nose!"

The waiter quickly ran away and shouted loudly, "Come on, upstairs in Room A, give me a pot of the good Jade Pearl Wine!" After saying that, he looked at Li Chengfeng's back and rolled his eyes. He then twitched his mouth and said, "Let's see how many more days you can be proud of yourself!"

Li Chengfeng and Zhao Xiaobao walked up the stairs until they reached the corner. They found the red pine wood flooring on the second floor had just been smeared with red oil, and the large glass grill was spotlessly clean. In the corner, there was a large case with a stack of ink and paper placed on top of it. It was specially made for scholars to eat wine and inscriptions.

Li Chengfeng pushed open the door to the private room and sat down. After a while, the waiter came in with a tray and a big smile on his face. He then arranged the peanuts and wine cups one by one.

Zhao Xiaobao stood at the back and didn't dare to take a deep breath. He was afraid that if he angered this young master, he would vent his anger on him again.

Li Chengfeng drank for a while in his room before the sound of footsteps came from outside. After a while, a man with short stature, wearing a fur coat and fur hood came in. After he entered the room, he closed the door and lifted the hood to reveal his swarthy face.

Qiu Liansheng looked at Li Chengfeng with a complicated expression. He sat down and sighed, then said, "Brother, why are you doing this?"

Li Chengfeng poured a cup of wine for Qiu Liansheng and said, "There are some things that I still have to do."

Qiu Liansheng raised his wine cup and said, "But there are some things that shouldn't be done. It's better not to do them."

Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "A true man has his ways, but not his ways."

As the two of them spoke, Zhao Xiaobao more or less guessed that they were talking about the matter of Li Chengfeng's crime being buried under Liu Zhixi.

Qiu Liansheng stared at Li Chengfeng. After a long while, he suddenly smiled and drank it all in one gulp, "I knew you would say that."

Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "That's why you specifically told me about it in the note."

Qiu Liansheng sighed and said, "It is not a disaster, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided. Sooner or later, you will suffer a cut from this pus.

Li Chengfeng raised a cup of wine and said, "No matter what, thank you for this cup."

Qiu Liansheng and Li Chengfeng looked at each other and smiled, and the two of them finished their wine in one gulp. Qiu Liansheng put down his wine cup, and at this moment, he laughed heartily and said, "Cheng'an City has an eccentric person like you."

Li Chengfeng smiled and poured some wine for Qiu Liansheng, "Why do you say that?"

Qiu Liansheng raised his wine cup and regretfully said, "Cheng'an City isn't big. It's like a pond that can be seen through to the end. Some people, some things, when you see them, you know what their future will be like. You've only been here for ten years, but I've been here for more than thirty years. You have thought that the people around you, the people who grew up with you, almost all of them are the same as their fathers, and their children are the same. This kind of age that was similar to the rings of years … "How boring."

Qiu Liansheng glanced at Li Chengfeng and smiled, "But you are different. I can't see through you, nor can I see through your future." You're not like the other people in Cheng'an City. "

It seemed that his young master's evaluation of this man was somewhat reasonable. He was not like a boorish and reckless man on the surface, and Qiu Liansheng's victory over Su Zhi Xian seemed to be the most favorable reaction that Qiu Liansheng had in that moment.

This person was deeply hidden!

Li Chengfeng poured some wine for Qiu Liansheng and asked, "What did the Lord Grand Guard say?"

Qiu Liansheng sipped on his wine and shook his head. "Brother, Lord Protector hates you."

Li Chengfeng smiled bitterly, "You didn't tell him?" I was implicated! Where's the silver hairpin? Once we find her, the truth will be revealed! "

Qiu Liansheng smirked and said, "I've already found it."

Li Chengfeng was overjoyed, "Where are you? I'm going to confront her!"

Qiu Liansheng sneered. "Sure, you can wipe your own neck first!"

Li Chengfeng suddenly stood up and opened his eyes wide, "Huh? Dead? "When will it be?!"

Qiu Liansheng said, "Last night, a constable at the yamen found her corpse by the river about five kilometers away from Cheng'an."

Li Chengfeng slowly sat down. His expression was extremely serious, because he realized that things were going to get troublesome this time!

Because this case is now a dead cause!

"Who did it?" Li Chengfeng's face was extremely ugly to behold.

Qiu Liansheng shook his head. "I don't know …"

Li Chengfeng angrily pounded the table, causing the wine jug to jump up and down.

"However..." Qiu Liansheng gasped heavily for breath as he continued.

Li Chengfeng took out a small cloth bag with clanking sounds inside. After throwing it over, he angrily shouted, "Quickly tell me!"

Qiu Liansheng smiled as he took the cloth bag and weighed it for a moment before putting it away. "Thanks, little brother!" Zhao Xiaobao, who was watching from the side, rolled his eyes.

Qiu Liansheng said, "I have some clues. It won't help you clear your suspicions, but it might be able to solve some of your doubts. "

Li Chengfeng said, "Speak, even if you die, you have to understand."

Qiu Liansheng said, "I took a glance at the coroner's corpse. Zhixi and the others were strangled to death."

Li Chengfeng's gaze froze as he stared fixedly at Qiu Liansheng. His eyes were frighteningly sharp, "When? "And then?"

Qiu Liansheng continued, "According to the coroner's analysis, it was probably the day before the rape."

Li Chengfeng asked, "Who did it?" Can you find anything? "

Qiu Liansheng shook his head. "Only inference. There is no evidence."

Li Chengfeng poured another cup of wine for Qiu Liansheng and said, "Tell me about it!"

Qiu Liansheng took a sip and said, "Zhixi, everyone has a suitor, do you know that?"

Li Chengfeng said, "Zhixi's family has many suitors, how would I know all of them?"

Qiu Liansheng replied, "Surnamed Zhou."

Li Chengfeng was surprised, "Zhou Qingyang from the Zhou family?"

"That's right, that's him." Qiu Liansheng nodded.

Li Chengfeng's face was gloomy, "Did he do it?"

Qiu Liansheng said, "According to the other maidservants of Zhixi Restaurant and Official Gui, Zhixi and the rest were close to him. A few days ago, he had seen them arguing and Zhixi wanted to leave, but Zhou Qingyang held her back. The two of them even began to fight. Zhou Qingyang slapped Zhixi and the others."

Li Chengfeng expressionlessly said, "Continue."

"However, what's interesting is that almost all of the other maidservants as well as Duke Gui said that the maidservants of Zhou Qingyang and Zhixi had something going on with Yin Chai."

"Oh?"

"In addition, I've also seen Yin Chai's corpse. She's already two months pregnant." Qiu Liansheng lightly said.

Li Chengfeng fell into deep thought. His eyes flickered with a thoughtful expression.

Qiu Liansheng continued: "Although there is no evidence, but the fact seems to have been revealed: Zhou Qingyang has always been pursuing Zhixi and the others, but he has never been able to get started. So he hooked up with the silver hairpin, wanting to get close to the brothel first. Perhaps the brocade wanted to cuddle with the young master last week, but in the end, the two of them got pregnant. "

Li Chengfeng continued, "With her pregnancy, Yin Chai started to panic, forcing Zhou Qingyang to make the arrangements for her. Zhou Qingyang took the opportunity to suggest that they attack Zhixi and the rest, but Zhixi and the others were aware of what had happened. "Yin Chai panicked. She wanted to find a scapegoat, but I ended up bumping into one …"

Qiu Liansheng clapped with a smile. "Not bad, not bad. However, Zhixi and the others might have died because of the silver hairpin. For a few days after his death, the marks were revealed. It was a woman's little handprint. "

Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth as he stood up, a murderous light flashing in his eyes, "He didn't kill Zhixi and the others, but Zhixi and the others died because of him!"

Qiu Liansheng looked at Li Chengfeng meaningfully, "Do you want revenge?"

Zhao Xiaobao, who had been silent all this time, immediately exclaimed, "No! Young Master, you can't! "

Li Chengfeng acted as if he didn't hear it and stared at Qiu Liansheng, "Where is he?!"

Qiu Liansheng smiled as if he expected the world to be in chaos, "Liu Sumei's Plum Blossom House!"

Without another word, Li Chengfeng rushed to the door like a gust of wind. Zhao Xiaobao chased in panic and shouted anxiously, "Young master, don't cause any more trouble! He really couldn't stir up any more trouble! "If you continue to cause trouble, then..."

Zhao Xiaobao recognized this kind of gaze as if it was the sign of his young master turning hostile. Unconsciously, he swallowed back the rest of his words and watched Qiu Liansheng striding out with a wine jug in his hand, drinking while humming a little tune, "I saw the sea rise and fall, the wind was blowing, and after a hundred years, the moon shines again."

Zhao Xiaobao glared fiercely at Qiu Liansheng. His impression of Qiu Liansheng, which he had previously harbored, became increasingly clear. This was truly an extremely disgusting man!
