Chapter 28: The First Order (I)

Qionglou Yuyu, pavilions and pavilions. Under the white bridge, the flowing water is dingdong, the sound is murmuring, wafting with the fragrance of August osmanthus, and the whole Begonia Pavilion is fragrant, like a fairyland on earth.

And the enchanting night adds a bit of mystery to this mysterious place, which is brightly lit and magnificent.

On the main hall of Begonia, Mrs. Begonia sat on the white begonia chair carved from He's bi, and listened carefully to Pei Yao's plea and the little statement about Jiang Soul Guard. She was shocked for a moment, and then regained her kind eyebrows and kind eyes in an instant, and she was as calm as water, which made Pei Yao under the jade steps shudder.

Pei Yao stood with her back straight, pursed her lips, and stared at Madame Begonia's small movements with burning eyesβ€”she kept curling a few strands of different colored belts around her abdomen with her fingers.

"Pei Yao Hall Master,"

Pei Yaosheng swallowed her throat and cheered up, and Jin listened to the order.

"I already know about the Soul Guard! As for the failure of the mission, I can't blame you completely! After all, your mission is to escort Song Keci back to Beijing and ensure their safety on the way...... And that doesn't include Blue Water Lodge! Mrs. Begonia calmly shirked the responsibility for her.

Madame is amazing! Three times five divided by two, the responsibility is over! Pei Yao secretly said in her heart,

"Go down first! Someone is waiting for you at Qiushuixuan! Mrs. Begonia waved her hand to pull her down.

Pei Yao didn't know why: "Yes!" ”

She walked out of the Begonia Hall suspiciously, wondering who would be waiting for her in Qiushuixuan in the middle of the night? It's so bad that she just came back from the capital before she had time to see Ah Fei, and her ass hadn't sat down yet, so she had to run around again.

In front of the left side of the Begonia Main Hall, there is a three-story corner tower with a pointed roof, where is the reception room of the Begonia Pavilion.

Qiushuixuan is one of the reception rooms, Haitang Pavilion has a total of three reception rooms, according to the employer can afford to pay the silver divided into three levels, the first level is the highest level of the Gongsexuan, the second level is the second level of Qiushuixuan, the third level is the lowest level of Haitian Xuan.

Pei Yao had only seen a flickering candle in Gongsexuan's room once, and that was a year ago...... Generally speaking, those who can wait at Qiushuixuan must be big customers!

"Knock knock" Pei Yao knocked on the door of Qiushuixuan with palpitations.

"Please come in!" A sound of vicissitudes came from within.

Pei Yao pushed open the doors on both sides step by step, and the first thing that caught her eye was a big fat man weighing two people, followed by a ...... This fat guy is a bit old! His face was white and fat, like a big steamed bun, and the fat on his cheeks seemed to turn into fat at any time. It's just that there are a few wrinkles on his face, which squeezes his already swollen eyes even smaller.

Behind him stood two young men dressed in dark shorts and looking imposing.

I saw him trembling over the teacup, his half-white beard was about to shake into the tea, the tip of the beard gently swept the water, he took a sip of tea without being informal, and said slowly: "You-you are the master of Pei Yao Hall?" ”

"Uh-yes!" Pei Yao was almost stunned when she looked at him, and her reaction was naturally half a beat slower.

The big fat man pointed to the six-inch brocade box on the table, and said to Pei Yao and Yan Yuese: "Open it and take a look!" ”

Pei Yao opened the brocade box according to his instructions and saw that there were a lot of women's ornaments inside, such as beaded flowers and golden hairpins Huasheng, etc., shiny, very dazzling, and they were worth a lot of money at a glance!

"When we met for the first time, the old man didn't know what to give to the little girl, and it was too vulgar to send money directly, so I bought these things casually!" He rolled up his sleeves and walked unhurriedly, his eyes narrowing into a slit.

Where is the vulgarity of sending money?

Pei Yao covered the brocade box and thanked with a smile: "Thank you, this master...... I don't know the lord's surname? ”

"The old man's surname is Qi!" He reread his last name, but he still had an amiable expression on his face.

Pei Yao immediately shivered, and the fingers that had just closed the brocade box had some inexplicable cramps.

Her voice trembled, "Master Qi? You-you are the father of Qi Feng and Qi Gongzi? ”

"Hmm!" Qi Chai Yanhan smiled and nodded, not at all like a father who had just lost his son.

Madame, why did I come to see Master Qi? Isn't it going to cost me my life? No! Wrong! If you really had to pay for my life, you wouldn't have given me such a heavy gift! Pei Yao's mind was buzzing like thousands of flies.

She stared blankly at Qi Chai Eun, waiting for his next instructions.

"The old man came to Haitang Pavilion this time just to ask you something," Qi Chai's gaze was like a steel cone, stabbing at Pei Yao coldly, "Who is the murderer who killed Xiao'er?" ”

Really...... Pei Yao met his gaze and felt a little suffocated.

She staggered Qi Chai's eyes, and said tentatively with a hippie smile: "Qi, Master Qi, I have already sent the murderer's head to Qi Mansion, and you were not at home at that time!" ”

"Haha-" Qi Chai's sneer made Pei Yao feel weak, and then he pretended to be polite and said, "Pei Yao Hall Master probably didn't understand what the old man meant...... The old man asked the real murderer, not the ghost! ”

Scapegoat? It's really treacherous, whether he is pretentious or not, I don't dare to slack off easily. Pei Yao admired in her heart, and after thinking for a while, she replied with some hesitation: "Master Qi-to be honest, Pei Yao doesn't know if the owner of the human head sent to Qi Mansion is really the murderer, but--Master Qi came all the way to Haitang Pavilion, and the juniors don't dare to lie anymore!" ”

Qi Chai's eyes lit up, the fat on his face shook slightly, and the fist resting on the table was tightly clenched into a sandbag, gritting his teeth and waiting for the answer.

"The real murderer," Pei Yao sighed, word by word, "It's Song, Yi, and Dusk!" ”

Qi Chai's widening eyes seemed to be bloodshot.

Pei Yao continued to tell what she knew......

On the day Qi Fengsu was killed, Pei Yao stayed in Mu Chuyu's room for a long time, expecting Mu Chuyu to come back and tell her about the case, but she didn't wait for Mu Chuyu to come.

She hastily finished her lunch, rested her head for a while, and then left.

Pei Yao began to think crankily, thinking that Mu Chuyu would have suffered some accident: he is so lustful, what if he falls for the beauty trick and suffers a loss and is killed?

The more I think about the bad things, the more unpleasant I feel in my heart, and the pace under my feet naturally accelerates unconsciously.

However, it was true that she was overthinking everything, she crept outside the courtyard gate of Yichun Pavilion, and cautiously looked insideβ€”Mu Chuyu and Song Keci were you and me......

Pei Yao snorted uneasily, turned around and left: What happened again? Could it be that the murderer is not Song Keci? But who else will Song Keci be?

"Miss Pei Yao!" Zhou Shui greeted her politely.

Pei Yao came back to her senses and nodded sluggishly in return.

Zhou Shui took a group of disciples to pass by her and continued to search busily.

Pei Yao stood for a moment after walking a few steps away, a wisp of fresh breeze blowing on her back, and the cool air hit people. She immediately turned to chase after Zhou Shui, and said unashamedly that she would help them and search for suspicious movements with them. Zhou Shui was a little stunned after hearing these words, and it was inconvenient for him to refuse, so he had to agree first.

She followed the disciples of Bishui Villa to many places, and some places were even repeated several times, such as the room where the entourage brought by Qi Fengsu lived. And there are some places that I have never been to once, such as Pei Yao and Mu Chuyu's house, maybe this is because of respect for them as guests! But the courtyard of the old owner of Song didn't get close to it!

Odd! Could it be that the old owner of Song Zhuang is a murderer? It shouldn't be! Pei Yao thought about it with apprehension.

As night falls, the moon rises.

Pei Yao dragged her tired body with her mind full of incomprehension and doubts, and finally returned to her room. Before pushing open the door, she couldn't help but glance at the next door - the next room was cold and dark, and Mu Chuyu lingered in the gentle countryside again!

Pei Yao entered the room stupidly, just closed the door, brushed it and the lights were bright.

"Ahh

Pei Yao screamed in surprise, but saw Duan Liling sitting at the round table smiling at her charmingly.

"Why are you here?" Pei Yao almost roared.

Duan Liling's fox eyes squinted at her, and said disdainfully, "You can shout a little louder!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Pei Yao returned to her usual tone and inferred, "You! Could it be that Qi Fengsu was killed by you? ”

Duan Liling poured himself a glass of water and moistened his lips: "No! ”

"Then why are you here?" Pei Yao frowned slightly, and then guessed, "You caused the poison of Old Master Song?" ”

The corners of Duan Liling's mouth lifted lightly, and he shook his head: "It's not!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"My main mission here is to retrieve the things of our Begonia Pavilion......"

After her reminder, Pei Yao exclaimed: "Finger wrapping!" ”

Duan Liling floated a mysterious smile: "That's right! Of course, in order to take a look at how beautiful Song Keci, the number one beauty in the rivers and lakes, is! ”

"That's it?"

In the face of Pei Yao's incredulity, Duan Liling just nodded at her with her eyes closed.

Pei Yao's state immediately recovered to before entering the door, like a deflated ball, sitting decadently at the round table, holding her cheek with her right hand and sighing.

"But," Duan Liling said, his eyebrows fluttering, "I've broken a big drama here!" ”

Pei Yao put down her hand in an instant, straightened her spine, and prepared to listen: "What did you find?" ”
