"Oh, what's wrong with her?" Yan said.
Fang Xianhuai said: "The little girl is missing. β
Yan Li was not very enthusiastic and said: "Did Lord Fang go to the wrong door, the missing person should go to Jingzhao Mansion, why did you come to Dali Temple?"
Fang Xianhuai sighed and said, "My lord doesn't know anything! The little girl didn't return all night yesterday, and this morning she retreated to the court, but she still hasn't been seen, and only after interrogating the maid did she know that it was Tianyun Pavilion who invited her to participate in the poetry meeting......
Yan Li smiled playfully: "That's not very good, this official heard about the invitation of Tianyun Pavilion, it is a very face-saving thing." Ling Yuan didn't return all night, probably because she was playing with a merry talent. β
Fang Xianhuai shook his head again and again, and said anxiously: "No, my lord, the little girl never dares not to go home at night." Also, Xia Guan went to Tianyun Pavilion to ask for someone, they said that the little girl had left last night, and Xia Guan suspected that the little girl was held hostage by them. β
"What is the benefit of holding Ling Yuan hostage?" Yan said.
"This ......" Fang Xianhuai couldn't speak for a while.
Yan Li said with a lack of interest: "Lord Fang, as an official of the imperial court and a servant of Zhongshu Province, with your identity, how dare a mere Tianyun Pavilion provoke them? Since they said that Ling Yuan had already left last night, there should be no need to lie, it is not too late for you to send someone to find out before making a conclusion." β
"Adults don't know!" Fang Xianhuai said, "Xia Guan heard that many people who have participated in the poetry meeting have changed, and they lock themselves in their rooms all day......
Yan Li waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "That has nothing to do with Ling Yuan's disappearance. After Ling Yuan changes, let's come to this official again. β
"My lord!" Fang Xianhuai suddenly shouted.
Yan Li squinted slightly, and said, "What kind of Fang Shilang, if you can't do it softly, you want to come hard?"
"No, you misunderstood...... Fang Xianhuai smiled bitterly and took out a small brocade box from his arms, holding it with both hands and presenting it to the case, "This is a little bit of the lower official's heart, and it should be regarded as a congratulatory to the lord." β
"Received the gift so soon?" Yan Li's expression moved, and when he opened the box, he saw that it was a soul stone, a priceless treasure, and he might not be able to buy it if he had money. He immediately put it in his arms, and said with a smile, "Lord Fang, it seems that we need to find a place to talk in detail." β
After so many years of mixing in officialdom, it is the first time that I can receive gifts so boldly and uninhibitedly, as if being an official is just to receive gifts.
The corners of Fang Xianhuai's eyes couldn't help twitching slightly, he cleared his throat and said, "If the adults don't mind, please go to Xiaguan's house for a light meal." β
"Well, this official is indeed a little hungry. - Zhao Qiping, went out with his official to handle the case. β
"Wow. β
Half an hour later, Yan Li sat down at the dining table in Fang Mansion.
In order to please Yan Li, Fang Xianhuai deliberately asked the room to cook more than ten dishes, some of which he was reluctant to eat on weekdays.
Holding back his anxiety, he waited for Yan Li to finish eating before he spoke: "My lord, can you start handling the case?"
Yan Li burped, picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, before he said slowly: "Tell me about this matter in detail from beginning to end." β
Fang Xianhuai breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately summoned a guard and said, "Escort her up!"
The guards immediately retreated, and after a short time, they escorted a girl with a lot of flowers and tied up. The girl's appearance is a little miserable, and her body is covered with whip marks, which shows that she has been tortured. The lotus was enough to go up to the knee down, all exposed, without a trace of blood.
"Sir...... Spare me...... ......."
The girl spoke weakly, and when she saw Yan Li, her spirit couldn't help but be shocked, "My lord...... Help, adults help me......"
Zhao Qiping, who was standing behind Yan Li, couldn't help but say, "Lord Fang, what kind of mistake did she make to treat her like this?"
Fang Xianhuai snorted coldly and said, "As a maid, it is a capital crime to dare to hide it from the master and not report it. β
Zhao Qiping hesitated and said, "I think she is just an employment relationship with you, even if she makes any big mistakes, she should be handed over to the government for disposal." β
"This is my family matter!" Fang Xian said angrily.
Zhao Qiping wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Yan Li.
"Okay, it's normal for someone's daughter to be missing, and to have a temper. β
After Yan Li finished speaking, he turned to Fang Xianhuai, "Fang Shilang, what he said is not unreasonable, you don't care if you lynch the official, but if someone dies ......" Speaking of the back, his tone was already a little cold.
Fang Xianhuai held back his anger and said, "After I find Junyi, I will have someone treat him." β
"Hmm. Yan Li nodded in satisfaction, turned to the maid and said, "What's your name?"
Hearing that there was hope of survival, the maid was overjoyed, and spoke neatly: "Return, return to your lordship, slave Liu Hong." β
"Liu Hong, tell me how your young lady disappeared. Yan Lidao.
Liu Hong told the story again, and finally choked up and said: "Miss confessed that she couldn't tell the master, and in order to hide it, she specially hired a carriage ......."
"That is to say, Miss Fang went out alone. Yan Lidao.
"Yes, yes......" Liu Hong said.
"Then why don't you go with her?" Yan said.
Liu Hong said: "Tianyun Pavilion stipulates that you can't bring an entourage. β
"Is that invitation still there?" Yan said.
"Miss took it away, it was the admission voucher for the poetry club. Liu Hong said.
Fang Xianhuai said: "My lord, are you worried that someone is pretending to be Tianyun Pavilion? I also got an invitation a few years ago, and I went to find it." "Then he went.
After a short time, he came back, took out a gilded post and handed it to Yan Li: "My lord, please take a look." β
Yan Li showed it to Liu Hong and said, "What's the difference?"
Liu Hong looked at it carefully and said firmly: "This is the kind of post." β
Yan Li took a serious look at it, this post was no different from an ordinary invitation, and suddenly felt a little bulge behind it, and when he turned it over, it was a pattern glued with an unknown black lacquer material, but this pattern made his heart tremble slightly: "What is this?"
Fang Xianhuai leaned up to take a look at it and said, "It looks like a lotus flower, and the lower officials really haven't noticed it." β
This is a pure black lotus, and at first glance, it seems to be connected to the abyss on the other side.
It wasn't the first time Yan Li had seen Youlian, and now he was even more sure of the relationship between Tianyun Pavilion and the underworld.
"I'll take the post first, and if there's any news about Ling Yuan, I'll send someone to tell you. β
"Your Excellency must find it, Xia Guan is such a daughter......" Fang Xianhuai bowed deeply.
Leaving the Fang Mansion, Zhao Qiping said, "My lord, where are we going now?"
"Tianyun Pavilion. Yan Lidao.
"Tianyun Pavilion?" Zhao Qiping said.
Yan Li got into the carriage and sat down, and said, "Let's go and see the situation first." β
Zhao Qiping sat on the car, grabbed the reins, and said helplessly: "But I don't know where Tianyun Pavilion is." β
Yan Li said: "There are so many people on the road, won't you ask?"
"Ah, so there's still this trick. Zhao Qiping suddenly realized.
An hour later, the carriage drove to the gate of Fengyuezhuang, and Zhao Qiping said, "My lord, it's here." β
"Go call the door. Yan Lidao.
Zhao Qiping was stunned for a moment and said, "That's it, just go in?"
"If you want to call it, what are you talking about!" Yan Li felt the need to let Zhao Qiping understand his current identity.
Zhao Qiping may not be very accustomed to his role, so he reacted at this time, hurriedly got out of the car, stepped to the door in three or two steps, grabbed the copper ring and was about to scream, but the door suddenly "squeaked" open.
"Tianyun Pavilion is not open during the day," a cold-faced man poked his head out, "I want to participate in the poetry meeting, please wait for the next notice." β
Zhao Qiping said: "We are not here to participate in the poetry meeting, who is the person in charge here, let him come out, my family wants to see him." β
The cold-faced man said, "Tianyun Pavilion doesn't entertain anyone, no matter who you are, leave here immediately!"
"Hey!" Zhao Qiping's eyes quickly resisted, "You dare to stop us?"
The cold-faced man had a murderous intent in his eyes, and he punched without warning.
Zhao Qiping was shocked, and hurriedly blocked it with his left hand.
Boom!
Zhao Qiping snorted, only to feel depressed, "kicking and kicking" back several steps, and almost fell off the steps.
"What you can't do, don't get out of here!" the cold-faced man sneered and slammed the door shut.
Zhao Qiping froze his body, his face turned from blue to white, and then from white to blue, then red, took a breath, and was about to scold, when he suddenly heard a sound that made him stiff.
Shout!
A sword aura swept past him and struck the gate.
The gate first was concave from the middle, and then began to crack from the recess, making a terrifying sound of "click", and finally a loud "boom", I am afraid that the gate as high as two adults and the plaque with "Fengyuezhuang" written on the door will be blown into debris in the sky.
The cold-faced man let out a scream of "wow", fell backwards, fell directly to the stone steps in front of the hall door, and rolled down from above, his body trembled twice, and he never moved again.
Zhao Qiping turned his head and looked at the carriage blankly, and a huge wave was set off in his heart. He had heard countless legends of Yan Li, but he never thought that this classmate who had cultivated the same as him had reached such a terrifying realm.
What does it mean?
That represents a martial artist!
Only now did he truly realize that Yan Li was no longer the Yan Li he was at the beginning, and now he really gave birth to a kind of awe.
"Who's coming?"
A deep voice came from inside, and in a short time, the owner of the voice came out of the hall, a man in brocade, looking about forty years old. As soon as he stood still, a large number of black-clothed people poured out from all corners of the manor, and a rough calculation showed that there were no less than a hundred people.
"This Dali Temple. Yan Li's magnetic voice came from the carriage.
The face of the man in brocade changed greatly, and he waved his hand, and those black people immediately retreated cleanly, and then he hugged his fists and said: "It turned out that Lord Yan was here, and Ma Yunpeng, the master of the Lower Heavenly Cloud Pavilion, had eyes and did not know Mount Tai, and he collided with the adult, I am really sorry." β
"You're the Pavilion Master?"
"Exactly. Ma Yunpeng said.
"Tianyun Pavilion has so many hidden masters, are you preparing to rebel?"
Ma Yunpeng said calmly: "The world is dangerous, thieves are rampant, if Tianyun Pavilion has no power to protect itself, how can it hold a poetry meeting in Yongling, where the dragon and the tiger are hidden?"
