65. Lock the target: President of the Xuanjing Chamber of Commerce
The girl in the pale yellow dress had not only seen it, but was also a victim of that night.
……
"Indeed...... Although the wound on her chest was almost healed now, five faint finger marks could still be seen, and it seemed that it was probably the work of the Yin-Yang magician. ”
After Bai Wuxiang accompanied the girl to the cabin to take off her clothes and carefully inspect the injured little watermelon, she hurried out with a solemn expression and said to Lu Renjie, who was waiting on the outer deck.
At this time, in order to avoid crowding, the rest of the unrelated girls on the deck carpet had all been ushered into the cabin.
Oh? Is it?
I don't believe it...... You didn't even let me check it out......
Lu Renjie inexplicably felt that he had been squeezed out by Bai Wuxiang, and he did not get the respect he deserved, and he complained secretly.
He only nodded slightly in response, and didn't say anything more, after all, these were already expected by him.
At this moment, the girl who felt aggrieved also came out of the cabin accompanied by Madame Bai.
Lu Renjie immediately turned around and said to the girl,
"Girl, please tell me in detail about that night, and your impression of the appearance of that gentleman, who left such a deep scar on you, that you must remember his appearance?"
"......" The girl's slightly reddened eyes hesitated slightly, and she looked back at Madame Bai who was accompanying her.
"Let's be honest." Madame Bai nodded gently, patted her on the back, and gestured to reassure.
Once again, the landlord nodded and agreed, and the girl dared to reply,
"What the slave remembers is that it was a tall man with a burly figure of more than two shoulders than you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a thick black stiff beard on both cheeks."
Zhu Sihou?
Hearing this kind of narration, Lu Renjie immediately thought of the appearance of Zhu Mengnan who had just wanted to smuggle in.
However, he knew that the Yin-Yang Magician could never be Zhu Mengnan.
First, when dealing with the lotus root puppet body of the Yin-Yang Magician in Qianlong Lake that night, Zhu Mengnan also rushed forward with a knife and small eyes - although it was the courage that only relied on Han Daru's speech and spiritual skills.
The second is that on the night when the White Hall Master and others were attacked, Zhu Mengnan and all the relevant demon slaying guards were also in the Yamen of the Demon Slaying Division, and they had sufficient alibi.
The pale yellow dress continued to reminisce with a sad expression,
"He wore a dark purple brocade robe that day, and he held a jasper folding fan in his hand, although it looked mighty, but it was a kind of gentle gentleman who was as warm as jade to the slave body."
"He was one of the first guests to come on the flower boat, and he was accompanied by two other noble lords, and they came on the flower boat at dusk, before it was dark."
"According to the arrangement, the slave body was in charge of the reception outside here at first, pouring wine and serving the guests on the deck."
"During the training in the duckweed courtyard, the ladies in the courtyard have been teaching the slaves and sisters to always be sober, carefully observe the actions of the guests, carefully analyze and speculate on what they may be thinking and when they may need something, and must learn to take the initiative to prepare what they need before they open their mouths to make requests, and never let the guests wait for a long time, so the slave has been paying attention to the few guests on the deck that day, and trying to meet all their requests as much as possible."
"The slave remembered that at that time, after the man got on the ship, he stood by the side of the ship for a long time, and the two men who accompanied him only stood and exchanged a few words, and then went into the cabin, and he was left alone, and he seemed to have something on his mind, and he had been staring in the direction of the place, thinking about something." The pale yellow dress pointed to Xuanjing City in the distance of the ship, in the direction of Heishui Lane.
"Later, the two guests who came with him also came out of the cabin once, and wanted to ask him to hurry in and drink together, but he smiled and shirked it, saying that he was a little unwell today, and now he just wants to blow the wind alone and take a break."
The two guests had no choice but to give up, and then hurried into the cabin, for it was getting late, and Sister Yi Wuwu had already begun to show up and perform songs and dances in the lobby of the elegant hall.
"So, the guest with the folding fan didn't go to the cabin to see the maiden in public for the first time?"
Hearing this, Bai Wumyang couldn't help but ask.
The girl in the pale yellow dress nodded,
"Yes, to be honest, the slave body was also very strange at that time, he deliberately spent silver to come to the pontoon banquet of the Yunyu boat, but he didn't go to see Yiwu's sister."
"But the slave didn't dare to ask more, he didn't leave to go into the cabin, and the slave couldn't go in, so he had to stay on the side honestly and wait at any time, because the slave was the closest to him."
"But I never thought that I would wait until the middle of the night when the fireworks went off, and the night wind was as cold as ice."
"After all, the slave body is not a cultivator, and it is the first time to go on the flower boat to serve him, and his clothes are also cool, so he can't help but shiver a little cold."
"Then, at a certain moment in the middle of the night, just as the fireworks were going on and forth, the guest turned around and walked towards the slave, and said with a smile, 'You seem to be cold, but don't cold your chest, it's easy for the cold to hit your lungs and hurt your body, come here, let me warm your heart.......'"
Speaking of this, the pale yellow dress pursed her red lips, and her face showed a bit of coquettish shame.
After a slight pause, she continued to tell her story,
"The slave naturally knew what the gentleman meant, so he did as he was thoughtfully and thoughtfully in accordance with his wishes, following the careful teachings of the ladies in the courtyard over the years......
"But the slave body didn't expect that in the next half an hour, that elegant guest really kept rubbing my heart......
"Keep rubbing your heart? The man didn't do anything else? Lu Renjie raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but ask curiously.
On this deck carpet, the night is cold and windy, what else can be done? …… Bai Mist's grim eyes glanced at Lu Renjie, as if she was looking at the devil, and she wondered in her heart.
The woman in the yellow dress in front of her also nodded in confusion,
"The slave body caters to it in every way, and even takes the initiative to give it away, but the guest doesn't do anything else except that one action."
"And he seemed to have no mind on the slave body at all, his eyes seemed a little wandering at that time, and his mind seemed to be immersed in another world, paying attention to something else."
He was the one who remotely sensed the location hidden in the shadow of the Lord of the Willow Hall...... Bai Wuxiang and Lu Renjie thought tacitly at the same time.
"This is completely different from what the ladies in the small courtyard teach, and the slave doesn't know what to do for a while, so he can only let him entertain......"
"The slave even thought that this gentleman was really a gentle and kind gentleman, because since he kept ...... The slave body really didn't feel cold anymore, but gradually felt a little hot......"
"As a result, what the slave didn't expect was that he suddenly became ruthless......"
Speaking of this, the pale yellow dress once again had tears in the corners of her eyes, her tone was choked, and her grievances were overflowing.
Madame Bai frowned on one side and patted the girl's back sympathetically to reassure the other party.
"At that moment, the slave's body was so painful that he almost fainted, and he felt like his heart was going to be grabbed and pulled out."
"The slave body thought that he had met a demon with a habit of abusing and killing women, and he was going to be killed by him......"
"Where did the man go after that?" Bai Wuxiang immediately asked.
The girl wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and pursed her lips,
"The slave body was caught off guard at that time, and after being pinched and softened on the ground, the man showed an extremely proud smile."
Then, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and as if relieved, he clapped his hands, and without looking at the slave's body, he went into the cabin alone.
"The slave remembers that he left with the other two guests who came with him when it was almost dawn."
"Do you remember when he left? Did he go in and serve again? Did you hear what the rest of the guests called him that day? Lu Renjie asked with a glint in his eyes.
The girl nodded heavily,
"Although the slave body was injured at the time, the pain was too bad, but after relieving it, he could only endure the pain and continue to go in to serve the guests, after all, it was a floating banquet in the building, and the guests who came on the flower boat that night were all distinguished guests, and they didn't dare to cause trouble for the sisters."
"Later, in the cabin, the slave saw that many elegant guests had greeted him and toasted, and they seemed to call him ...... to him."
"President Lai?"
Hearing this, Lu Renjie hurriedly took out the list again and spread it out, and Bai Wuxiang immediately leaned over.
Perhaps because the investigation was too eager, Bai Wuxiang's beautiful and cold face stretched straight to Lu Renjie's left shoulder.
The two of them almost rubbed their temples close to their ears.
Lu Renjie quickly found the record of the Yunyu Boat part on the list.
"Li Muyue, Li Yunhan, Li Qiyang......"
On the list that night, there were only three people from Xinli.
Bai Wumian immediately turned his head and looked at Madam Bai, his eyes were cold, and he commanded with a solemn expression,
"Please Madame Bai arrange it immediately, the hall master will immediately retrieve the identity records of these three people registered with you."
During the whole process, Madame Bai was actually glancing at the list in Lu Renjie's hand out of the corner of her eye.
Hearing Bai Wuxiang's command, Madame Bai replied in a firm tone,
"If you go back to this errand, the slave thinks, I'm afraid I don't need to go to the transfer of households to record it in the file."
"Among these three Yakes surnamed Li, only one will be called President Li, and that is this Li Qiyang."
Madame Bai stretched out her hand, nodded on a name, and then said solemnly,
"This person is the president of the Xuanjing Chamber of Commerce."
"Because of the huge amount of consumables that are usually purchased in the building last night, over the years, almost every one or two years, I will meet with this President Li to negotiate and coordinate and renegotiate the purchase price of various goods."
"He earned a lot of silver from the slave body, so the slave body still has a good impression of him."
"That person's appearance is indeed as this girl said, he is very powerful, but he speaks gently and calmly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he is a well-known smiling tiger."
Li Qiyang, president of the Xuanjing Chamber of Commerce......
After receiving Madame Bai's affirmative answer, Bai Wuxiang and Lu Renjie couldn't help but turn their heads with excited expressions and glanced at each other.
"Let's go!" Bai Wuxiang said in surprise.
……
