Chapter 752 [Under the Brocade 48]
After many twists and turns, Lu Yi, You You, Lin Ling, Jin Xia, Xie Xiao and Uncle Gai finally returned to Yangzhou. However, when they stepped into the house, they were greeted by a letter left by Yang Chengwan. The content of the letter showed that Yang Chengwan left first because he couldn't wait to visit his old friend. Everyone couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but they could only accept this fact.
On the other side, the situation was equally grim. Shangguan Xi was weaving a straw mat with great difficulty, and then dragged the unconscious Yang Yue with a vine to move slowly forward. Recalling how Yang Yue had protected her at all costs, even at the risk of being injured and fainting, Shangguan Xi's heart was filled with endless gratitude. Just when she was exhausted, the brothers of the Wu'an Gang finally showed up. Seeing the familiar faces, Shangguan Xi's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little.
On the bustling streets of Yangzhou, Jin Xia looked worried and out of tune with the surroundings. Shangguan Xi and Yang Yue were still missing, which made her feel uneasy.
Her brows were furrowed, her eyes constantly searching for the two people's traces, and she prayed silently in her heart that she could get news that they were safe and sound as soon as possible.
Just when Yuan Jinxia was upset, an unexpected discovery made her heart tighten - she saw that Mao Da Dangjia was walking side by side with Zhai Lanye! She didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly reached out to grab Xie Xiao beside her, and signaled him to hide quickly.
Seeing this, Xie Xiao instinctively wanted to rush forward and ask the two of them what they were doing, but Jin Xia stopped him and said that he should return to his residence to discuss countermeasures with Lu Yi first.
Xie Xiao was quite dissatisfied with this and muttered, "This is my territory, why do I have to obey Lu Yi's arrangements in everything?" But in the end he couldn't persuade Yuan Jinxia and had to leave quietly with her.
Lu Yi was sitting in the study, holding a letter from his father Lu Ting. He unfolded the letter, which clearly told him to investigate the matter of the elixir. After reading it, Lu Yi frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and called a subordinate.
"Go and tell Yuan Jinxia quickly that the two of us will set off to Danqing Pavilion to investigate the case immediately." Lu Yi ordered.
At this time, Yuan Jinxia was thinking about returning to Lu Yi as soon as possible and telling him everything that had happened between Zhai Lanye and Mao Dadangjia.
However, just when she was extremely anxious, Xie Xiao suddenly received a special signal from the Wuan Gang, which obviously meant that there might be important news about Shangguan Xi and Yang Yue.
Seeing this, Jin Xia had to put aside her concerns about Lu Yi for the time being after weighing the pros and cons, and hurriedly ran to the Wuan Gang with Xie Xiao.
Meanwhile, Lu Yi, who had been waiting for Yuan Jinxia for a long time, gradually lost his patience. He knew that time was running out and the case could not be delayed, so he decisively ordered: "No need to wait any longer! Arrange personnel immediately, and we will set off to Danqing Pavilion now!"
When Lu Yi and You You arrived at Danqing Pavilion at full speed, they were shocked by the scene they saw - the people in Danqing Pavilion were being besieged by a group of emotional villagers.
Lu Yi gave the order without hesitation, asking the accompanying Jinyiwei to act quickly and disperse the troublemaking villagers.
At this time, Lan Qingxuan saw Lu Yi and others coming, and his face showed joy. It turned out that he had known that the people coming this time were the Jinyiwei who were responsible for escorting his master, Master Yuanming, to Beijing for trial. Lan Qingxuan hurriedly went forward to introduce Lu Yi to his master, and praised him for his integrity and uprightness, and said that he would definitely ensure the safety of Master Yuanming along the way.
However, Master Yuan Ming was embarrassed when he saw Lu Yi. He bowed and begged, "Sir, could you please be merciful and give me a few more days? I still have many gang affairs to deal with..."
Lu Yi stared at Master Yuan Ming, and after a moment's silence, he finally nodded, indicating that he was willing to give him one day.
Lan Qingxuan hurriedly led Lu Yi and Youyou to clean up a room. Along the way, he was secretly surprised. He never thought that Youyou could survive such a strong poison. Facing Lan Qingxuan's doubts, Youyou smiled and explained softly: "I know a little about medicine, so I successfully detoxified myself."
Entering Danqing Pavilion, a sense of coolness hits you. This place used to be very lively, but now it seems particularly deserted. Lan Qingxuan looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel emotional. Since Master Yuanming encountered an accident, his fellow apprentices left one after another, some went their separate ways, or disappeared. Now, only Lan Qingxuan and a few fellow apprentices are left here.
Soon, Lan Qingxuan brought Lu Yi and Youyou to the door of the room. At this moment, Xiaoxin rushed in like a gust of wind. It turned out that Xiaoxin had already become Lan Qingxuan's disciple.
Xiao Xin kept repeating Yuan Jinxia's name. At this moment, a Jinyiwei came to report that Yuan Jinxia was stopped outside the door.
Hearing this, Youyou turned around without saying a word and walked quickly towards the gate to greet Yuan Jinxia.
At this moment, Yuan Jinxia was anxiously explaining to the Jinyiwei guards, claiming that she did know Lu Yi.
However, no matter how much she talked, the Jinyiwei remained unmoved. Just when Yuan Jinxia felt helpless, she saw Youyou walking towards her from a distance, and she immediately smiled, and her heart finally settled down.
When Youyou led Yuan Jinxia into the house, Yuan Jinxia finally saw Xiaoxin and Lan Qingxuan. It was not until this moment that she suddenly realized that she had always thought that Lan Qingxuan was just a fake alchemist who was swindling people, but she was totally wrong!
Besides Yuan Jinxia, the always noisy Xie Xiao also came with her. Lu Yi turned his head slightly, glanced at Xie Xiao with a slightly dissatisfied look, and then ignored him as if he didn't exist.
At this time, Jin Xia told Lu Yi everything that happened between Mao Dadangjia and Zhai Lanye with a serious face.
After she finished speaking, a hint of appreciation flashed in Lu Yi's eyes, and he praised, "Well done." Hearing this, Jin Xia's face suddenly broke into a bright smile, as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring.
Just then, Lan Qingxuan came over with a plate of fresh fruit. Seeing Lan Qingxuan, Yuan Jinxia immediately shouted with a smile: "Lan the liar!"
This shout made Lan Qingxuan's face darken instantly. He pleaded with a bitter face: "Master Xia, can you please stop calling me like that? At least give me some face."
However, Yuan Jinxia pouted and said, "Who told you to lie to us all the time?"
As night fell, everything was silent. Suddenly, Xiaoxin's terrified scream broke the silence and instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone rushed over after hearing the noise, only to see that Xiaoxin's face was full of fear and his body was shaking constantly.
He stammered to everyone, "Master...Master Uncle Erpang is dead!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Afterwards, Xiaoxin led Jin Xia, Youyou and Lu Yi and quickly walked into the room.
However, what was surprising was that there was no sign of Erpang in the house, as if he had never appeared there.
Faced with such a strange situation, everyone present looked at each other, their hearts full of confusion.
Yuan Jinxia anxiously asked Xiaoxin about the details, but Xiaoxin was just a child after all, and he was already at a loss after being so frightened.
Without saying a few words, Xiao Xin threw himself into Lan Qingxuan's arms and burst into tears.
Master Yuan Ming, who was standing nearby, also frowned and said to himself, "This place is strictly guarded by the Jinyiwei. How could someone kill Er Pang in public and make his body disappear? It's really weird."
Youyou calmly analyzed, "In my opinion, Erpang may not have been murdered. There are no obvious signs of a fight in this room. Maybe there is another hidden story."
