This courtyard is divided into two floors, from the first courtyard gate into a rather quiet and elegant courtyard, there are no tables and chairs, and there is no small house to take care of, just a place to isolate the sound of the courtyard.

When everyone stepped into it, they smelled the smell of blood a little stronger, and at the same time, they could clearly see the red, red, green and green light reflected on the lowest floor of the small building in the courtyard, which should have been able to reveal some sound together, but now it was extremely quiet, and the whole situation seemed extremely incongruous.

A few people on the spot felt that something was wrong in their hearts, so they didn't stop for half a minute, and only went to the second floor of the courtyard.

The two servants pushed open the second floor courtyard door first, and as soon as the door opened, the scene was different.

First of all, there is no other shelter in the courtyard, and you can clearly see the whole picture of this apricot blossom platform.

In Tongcheng, even the counties under its jurisdiction are counted, there are a lot of trick halls, but most of them are now under the name of Master Sun, according to the so-called experience learned by Master Sun from Lianzhou, these trick halls are distinguished from the name.

The most are called "courtyards", the smallest in scale and the least in cost, but the visitors are only looking for "color", and the rest are not easy to ask.

Then it is called "Lou", the largest scale, the cost is in the middle, during which the women's "color" and "art" are good, and the visitors may not even ask for anything, just as a decent meeting place.

In the end, it is like this apricot flower platform in general, called "Taiwan", the scale is in the middle, but the cost is the largest, much more elegant than the other two, compared with many tricks in the state is not inferior, during which the woman in addition to the word "color", "art", under the nearby states and counties in the big family nobles, on the Southern Chu Beiyu and even some of the current affairs of Liangzhou have an understanding, and all of them are empathetic, easy to do the interpretation of the flower.

According to their different needs, visitors can be distinguished from the name.

And the latter two are also the best sources of information for the Sun family, and the manpower defense during this period is naturally also properly arranged.

At this time, the second floor of the courtyard door is facing the main building of Xinghuatai, there are three floors, the lowest floor is the most brightly lit, and the upper two floors are only faintly revealing some light according to the different rooms. However, no matter what the floor, there is not a sound coming from now.

Before everyone could take a look, the two little guys who came first saw two people lying on the ground in front of the building.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to check, one of the two was obviously a small servant in the building, and the other was probably a guest, the two of them had long since lost their breath, and each had only one wound, which was on the left and right sides of the back of the neck, and they should have been killed from behind.

Wen Liang saw that the wound was clean and neat, and the person who used the knife should be a top master.

The other two servants didn't say much, one left and one right ran to a more secret place in the courtyard, the secret guard and Tang Mingyi's bodyguard ran to the left with Hua Ji, and Wen Liang ran with Tang Mingyi and the other with the other to the back of a small pavilion, and saw a corpse lying in it.

Wen Liang hurriedly stepped forward to check, this one was still dressed like this Xinghuatai guy, and the wounds were no different from the first two people to be discovered. The only difference is that he has a knife at his waist, and he should be the one who secretly performs the duty of guarding.

Since this is already the case here, the three of them know what this building may look like, and they dare not delay any longer, and go towards the main building of Xinghuatai together.

There was nothing superfluous to say in the meantime, and the little guy also changed his appearance, and his expression was not a little frightened, but cautious and aggressive, obviously passing things. As soon as he pushed the door in, an even stronger smell of blood was completely unobstructed, rushing towards these people.

In the middle of the main building of Xinghuatai is a small pond that is born, and there are two small bridges on it, one vertical and one horizontal, for people to walk, adding elegant functions. Due north is a slightly higher platform, which is obviously used as a singing and dancing venue, and there are some tables and chairs for individual guests to sit on the east and west sides, about eight or nine pairs each.

The second floor is also easy to see at a glance, but there are some small rooms that are separated, which is convenient for visitors to discuss their own affairs and the like.

At present, whether it is the first floor or the second floor, there are still waves in the pool, the wine that has been spilled on the table is still flowing down the edge of the table, and even the lanterns hanging in the hall are still shaking themselves, corresponding to the lights used to illuminate and decorate the atmosphere, so that people can see at a glance what the lively scene was like here a moment ago.

But now, whether it is in the small pool, whether it is scattered on both sides, and in the small room, there are no less than thirty corpses lying respectively.

The crowd moved separately. The little servant from Xinghuatai stepped forward to examine the corpse, while Tang Mingyi rushed to the place behind the platform that might lead to the backyard, and Wen Liang himself climbed the stairs and went straight to the third floor to check.

Different from the two floors below, the third floor was separately shielded and divided into a room, and Wen Liang quickly slammed the doors open one by one while trying his best to ensure that he was thorough, and looked at the layout and whether there was a place to hide his figure.

The rooms varied, some were empty, some were single, some were two corpses, one man and one woman, and none of them were alive. It wasn't until he bumped into the innermost room on the west side that he finally noticed something different.

There was not a trace of a fight in the room, the lights had not been extinguished, and a very fat male corpse had fallen into the corner of the bed. Wen Liang was about to leave after seeing it, but suddenly a thought flashed through him, making him reflexively enter the room again.

Although the number of corpses in the few rooms is different, it is nothing more than a difference between one and two, and there must be a female corpse among them, and there has never been a situation where only one male corpse has been seen.

So Wen Liang carefully closed the door, and then grabbed the long sword at his waist and walked to the bed.

This bed is hung with a light gauze curtain, and the lights are faintly visible, and it should have been arranged with a lot of thought. And the fat man was curled up against the wall by the side of the bed in a very unusual position, and the blood from the wound on his neck had soaked the bedding.

"Come out." Wen Liang took out his sword and opened the curtain and snorted softly.

With this sound, the fat man's body "trembled" slightly, but he still didn't make a sound, but at this time, when he got closer, he could clearly see that some pale pink Luo shirt corners were scattered from under this person, and he could see the skin such as arms or thighs from the gaps, obviously a petite woman hiding behind him.

However, the other party still didn't mean to move, Wen Liang didn't want to wait longer, and took a step closer, and suddenly the fat man's body was pushed away, and an object was thrown out from behind him, and it was coming towards Wen Liang's door.
