The guard, named Shi Qian, received the order and immediately disappeared into the darkness. The man in purple walked to the top floor of Bangjian Tower, where there was a man who was trembling and trembling. When the man saw this person coming, he immediately kept kowtowing to him, and said in his mouth, "The landlord is angry, and his subordinates don't dare anymore, don't dare anymore." ”

The man in purple ignored what he said, but on the chair in front of him, which was made of gold and inlaid with countless jewels, he casually conjured a folding fan, and shook it one after the other. The man was still kowtowing, and blood was oozing from his forehead. After a while, the man in purple finally spoke, "If it weren't for my usual rudder here, I wouldn't know that you did these things without me." If I hadn't stumbled upon the falling chain on that woman's body today that belonged to Yan Fu, it would have brought a catastrophe to my Jian Tower! Have you forgotten the original intention of my Bangjian Building? His tone was cold, like the wind blowing on the glacier in the cold winter, cold to the bone marrow. Hearing this, the man kneeling on the ground kowtowed even more violently, "How could a subordinate forget?" Bangjian Tower is a place for collecting information from the Demon Venerable. The subordinates are just blinded by interests. Subordinates know mistakes, subordinates know mistakes. Ask the landlord to spare his subordinates' lives, so that his subordinates can serve you again. ”

"What's the use of you begging for mercy now? Where are the building rules, is it a decoration? He suddenly "huh--" put away the fan, a purple light flew by, and the man kneeling on the ground was killed instantly.

The rest of the people present also immediately knelt down and said in unison, "The landlord is angry." The man in purple got up, straightened his robe, and changed into a lazy voice, but there was no warning in his tone, "Today, you have all seen the end of not doing things well. I hope you will take this as a warning, you all remember to me, one day into Bangjian Building, this life can only serve Bangjian Building! ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately said yes. The man in purple waved his hand for them to stand down. After everyone retreated, a man who had been hidden in the darkness appeared, he was half-kneeling on the ground, and arched his hand, "Your Excellency, what should we do now?" ”

"I have sent someone to erase the memories of those women, they will not remember that they have ever come to Bangjian Tower, nor have they been poisoned by us, we just took their money and gave them someone to be a guard." He opened the folding fan again and shook it, paused and continued, "As for Yu Hou, since the person who cooperated with him is dead, then he has nothing to do with Bangjian Lou. If he comes again, don't pay attention to him. After he finished speaking, he looked at the man slightly, "Also, I'll stay here until it's over." As for my whereabouts, do not reveal them. The man took the command, said yes, and then withdrew.

After Ye Minghuan and Yan Haoxue went out, they went home directly. On the way, Ye Minghuan kept asking Yan Haoxue for details, but Yan Haoxue didn't remember anything, so much directly. Ye Minghuan's intuition told her that this matter was not so simple, maybe it had something to do with the girl's disappearance. I should find a time to talk to the prince.

After the two arrived at the gate of the mansion, Ye Minghuan told Yan Haoxue to rest well, and if he remembered something, he must tell himself. Yan Haoxue nodded and agreed, so the two said goodbye and went home.

As soon as Ye Minghuan returned to the room, Ye Shaochuan sat in her room, and asked a little seriously and helplessly, "Where have you been?" "Ye Minghuan was afraid that his father would scold him for talking = losing Sister Yan, so he didn't say anything about it, and said that he and Sister Yan went to the street to play." If you don't practice and study at home and practice swordsmanship, you will know how to play! Don't be too lazy to practice just because you're a genius. If you're so playful, I'll send you to Tai Academy!" ”

As soon as Ye Minghuan heard about Tai Academy, he only shook his head and waved his hand, and immediately promised that he would no longer be greedy for fun, and he would definitely practice and study hard. Seeing this, Ye Shaochuan sighed and left.

Tai Academy is a college directly under the royal family, has always only accepted the children of the nobility and the cultivation of geniuses, it is said that no matter how naughty the children are, after coming out of it, they are well-behaved, knowledgeable, and very high. But the days inside were very hard and tiring, and the masters were very strict. Basically, no nobleman wants to go. As soon as Ye Minghuan heard that he was going to be sent to Tai Academy, he immediately promised that he would never be greedy for fun in the future.

Ye Minghuan saw that his father was gone, so he breathed a sigh of relief. I sat down and took a break, sorted out what I had just discovered, and wrote it down. He also asked Ruyue to come in and dress herself, and went out in the direction of the palace.

She came to the palace and went directly to meet the prince. When Ling Xuanlan saw her coming, he was still a little happy in his doubts. "Prince Ann, please." Ye Minghuan saluted. "Get up." Ling Xuanlan said lightly, and helped him again, "Why are you here?" "The courtiers have something important to report." Ye Minghuan handed over the paper in his hand.

Ling Xuanlan took it, and motioned for her to sit down, while he returned to the main seat to take a closer look. After a while, he finished reading it, and his face sank. Ye Minghuan saw that after he finished reading it, he thought that he was going to ask some more details, and he was just about to open his mouth to talk to him in detail, but he didn't want him to ask with a heavy face, "Didn't you want you to go home earlier?" I know that your cultivation is not shallow, but are you not afraid of danger when you break into Bangjian Tower alone? Ye Minghuan was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth but didn't know how to answer him.

Seeing this, Ling Xuanlan also suddenly found that he was a little abrupt when he said this, he secretly blamed himself for caring about it, but he still maintained that cold expression on his face, "Ahem, tell me the details." And what do you think is suspicious? Only then did Ye Minghuan speak, "The third and fourth floors of Jishi Building are so luxuriously decorated, it will definitely not be just a place for poor families to eat. And Sister Yan fainted outside Jishi Building, it will definitely not be an accident. Besides, don't you think it's strange about the reaction of the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper? I think that the matter of Sister Yan, as well as the disappearance of the girl, may be related to Jishilou. ”

After she finished speaking, Ling Xuanlan thought for a while, and then flipped out a map in a pile of files. "Come and see," he waved at Ye Minghuan, who got up and walked behind him. "Look," he said, pointing to the places with red circles on the map, "these are the last places where the girl was seen, and there are Jishilou next to them. It's a pity that when I investigated the case before, I was misled and didn't think about it. After all, the previous disappearances were all found outside the city or in other cities. ”

Ye Minghuan came closer, looked in the direction he pointed, and sighed, "This Yu Hou is really rich, and he actually opened five Jishi Mansions." As she spoke, her breath sprinkled slightly on Ling Xuanlan's hands, and her hair slipped off her shoulders and landed on Ling Xuanlan, and the girl's hair fragrance quietly penetrated into his nose. Ling Xuanlan was stunned for a moment, but he forced himself to come back to his senses. He quietly withdrew his fingers, "You reminded me of that. It stands to reason that Jishilou should not be profitable, but the daily labor cost and food cost are a lot of expenses. Although Yu Hou had fiefs, fields and shops, all his income together would only be enough to maintain the expenses of Jishilou. ”

"But as we all know, Yu Hou loves to hold all kinds of banquets, and every time he is generous. There are many servants in his house, and there are many little wives. Ah, by the way, his eldest daughter, and a necklace of Bangjian Lou. That's a lot of money. I don't know where Yu Hou got the money. Ye Minghuan straightened up, hugged his arms and said, "Is it possible, is it the money from the ancestors of the family?" It's not right, I heard my father say before that Yu Hou's family background had already been ruined by himself. Daddy also said that I can't be like him in the future. “

Ling Xuanlan looked at her serious analysis, and a faint smile rose at the corner of his mouth, "So, maybe he is making huge profits by abducting and selling girls?" Ling Xuanlan continued. Ye Minghuan nodded, "That makes sense." "That being the case, without further ado. Then I'll take someone to search. Ling Xuanlan got up and said, he paused, then looked at Ye Minghuan and said, "This matter is not revealed before it is revealed, you must not publicize it to outsiders." Especially the Great Prince. ”

"yes, I know." Ye Minghuan nodded, she knew why Ling Xuanlan said this, because Marquis Yu was the person of the eldest prince. "Do you think this matter will have anything to do with the eldest prince?" Ye Minghuan couldn't help it and said tentatively. Ling Xuanlan shook his head, "What Yu Hou did doesn't mean that it has anything to do with the eldest brother, but if the eldest brother knows about it at this time, he will definitely defend it." Fortunately, at this time, the eldest prince is still searching for clues outside the city, and I must be one step ahead. ”

Hearing this, Ye Minghuan was also energetic, "Is there anything you need help with?" I'm most unhappy with this kind of person who bullies girls and destroys people's families. Why, girls are used to be bought and sold in their eyes! She puffed up her anger, looking jealous and hateful. Seeing this, Ling Xuanlan couldn't help but laugh twice in her heart, she was really chivalrous and cute. Although he thought so, he didn't show it on his face, he still had a faint expression, and sternly rejected her, "No, you just stay at home." "But, there's a Bangjian Lou in there." She still followed behind Ling Xuanlan and said, "I know you're amazing, but is there one more person and one more helper." Ling Xuanlan stopped suddenly, and Ye Minghuan accidentally bumped into his sturdy back. She groaned and rubbed her nose again.

Ling Xuanlan looked back and saw her like this, a trace of distress flashed in his heart, but he still said, "Hmph, you also know that there are people from Bangjian Lou who intervene in this matter, they are the forces of the rivers and lakes, and no one knows their details." It's better not to provoke them. Besides, you seem to have provoked them in the morning. After he finished speaking, seeing that Ye Minghuan still wanted to say something, he immediately said, "Bai Ye, send Miss Ye back to the house." ”

Bai Ye is Ling Xuanlan's personal guard, his martial arts and spells are very strong, and he has never left Ling Xuanlan's side. When he received this order, he was stunned, but quickly came back to his senses, "Yes." He flashed, appeared behind Ye Minghuan, and made a gesture of please. Ye Minghuan was taken aback by his sudden appearance, but it was his sudden appearance that made her understand that she was not this person's opponent. So, she honestly saluted Ling Xuanlan, "The courtiers retreat." With that, he left and went home.
