The leader is merciful, spare the life of the pavilion master

On the second day, Xue Ce, who used the disguise technique, took the elated Song Junchen to the local Begonia Festival.

There were so many people, Xue Ce held Song Junchen tightly, fearing that he would be swept away by the crowd.

What Song Junchen appreciates are flowers, but what Xue Ce appreciates are flower appreciators.

People who can come to Tangzhou to see flowers on purpose are naturally flower lovers with a leisurely attitude.Merchants never let go of any business opportunities, whether they are from other places or locals, everyone gathers at a flower market, taking advantage of the good time once a year, to sell their hands to flower lovers who come and go exotic flowers and plants.

Song Junchen was standing in front of a pot of orchids at this time, smelling the faint fragrance of the flowers, his face was intoxicated.

There is only one orchid in bloom. Viewed from the front, it looks like a sleeping human face. Viewed from the side, it looks like half a butterfly's colorful wings, which is very strange.

"Is this young master fancying this pot of orchid? To tell you the truth, this flower comes from a very deep valley. It is a high-quality product. It is absolutely the only one in the world." Seeing that there is business to do, the boss hurried Come up to sell Song Junchen.

"Just this one? Do you want a bunch from me?" Just as Song Junchen was about to express his admiration, a young man's clear voice came from behind him. He turned his head to look at the person, slightly surprised.

This person is wearing a black satin robe, a gilt ink jade crown, a crane holding a plum topaz on his waist, and boots with embroidered gold threads on his feet. He has a handsome face and is white and clean. It's not ordinary people.

"Oh, so it's Mr. Zhou. Let me tell you, who can have such a sharp eye. Please bring me some good tea!" The boss bowed obsequiously to the visitor, and then shouted at the guy next to him.

Song Junchen looked at this Mr. Zhou intently, feeling very familiar.

That Young Master Zhou raised his eyebrows, met Song Junchen's eyes with a pair of red phoenix eyes, and said with a smile: "For those who are newcomers, be careful not to be deceived."

Xue Ce stepped forward calmly, looking at the person with cold eyes.He could tell that this person possessed martial arts, and he was absolutely not bad.

"Thank you for reminding me, sir." Song Junchen couldn't remember where he had seen this person, but etiquette still had to be dealt with.

"My lord has a gorse orchid, brother, are you interested?" When the man walked past Song Junchen, he leaned slightly and said as if seductive.

Song Junchen's pupils shrank when he heard the word Jinque.He remembered, this Mr. Zhou's face is so familiar, he is Nan Hall Master!

"You..." Just when Song Junchen was about to call him, the other party put a finger on his lips, blocking Song Junchen's words.

The other party then smiled and said: "It's rare for me to invite guests to the mansion, don't refuse, the mansion will wait for you tomorrow."

Then he turned his head and discussed flowers and plants with the flower seller very familiarly, as if nothing happened just now.

Song Junchen left the shop with a heavy expression.

"That person..." Xue Ce said.

"It's Hall Master Nan," Song Junchen rubbed his head irritably, "That person's whereabouts are uncertain, why did I meet him here?"

"your people?"

"Not necessarily, and I don't know what happened to Uncle Quan's investigation. If he really betrayed us, then we now..."

"Go to his house and you'll know."

"We won't be like a sheep going into a tiger's mouth, will we?"

"I'm here, don't worry." Xue Ce said lightly.

That's right, with such a martial arts master by his side, at least his life is guaranteed.Thinking of this, Song Junchen felt a lot more relieved.

The next day, the two of them entered the Zhou Mansion, and a servant led them to sit down in the lobby. The maid served tea respectfully, but neither Xue nor Song moved.

"Brother is here, I have been waiting for a long time." Mr. Zhou walked in with a smile, followed by a young man holding a pot of golden orchids. After entering the lobby, he carefully placed it on the nanmu table in the middle .

"Look, this gorse orchid looks pleasing, right?"

The corner of Song Junchen's mouth twitched slightly, he didn't expect this scene to be well done, and he really brought a pot of orchids to enjoy.

So Song Junchen also pretended to get up and walked around the orchid, but found something strange in the soil, and when he took a closer look, he felt disgusted, "Your flower has worms."

"Oh!" The young master Zhou exclaimed when he heard the words, hurried over to take a closer look, and said angrily, "It shouldn't be, the soil is fine, why are there worms? The surface of the flower is bright, but the root must be dead It’s riddled with holes, what a pity, what a pity.”

Song Junchen's heart was shocked, and he looked straight at Mr. Zhou.Is he implying that there is a traitor in the Golden Sparrow Pavilion?

"Bringing a pot of spoiled flowers to the guests, I'm really ashamed. If you don't dislike it, brother, why don't you go to my flower room to have a look, and you've made up for it."

Song Junchen naturally nodded in agreement, but he wanted to see what kind of drama this person had.

"My flower room is only for flower lovers who are congenial to me, and please invite this friend brought by brother to sit in the lobby." Young Master Zhou smiled and stopped Xue Ce who was about to get up and follow.

Song Junchen gave Xue Ce a wink, telling him to be calm.

Thinking that Song Junchen had Granny Ye's death net on him, Xue Ce tried to calm himself down, sat back on the chair again, and said coldly, "Go and come back quickly."

Song Junchen smiled, and followed Mr. Zhou to the back of the lobby.

Passing through several dark corridors, Mr. Zhou finally stopped in front of a dark door, took the key to unlock the door, and smiled to Song Junchen next to him: "This orchid is suitable for growing in the dark." This room is specially built by someone I hired, isn't the environment nice?"

Song Junchen looked into the house vigilantly. Pots of lush orchids were placed on carefully carved mahogany stands. Dim light shone in, but it wasn't too dark. It was shady and cool, and it was indeed suitable for growing orchids.

"Some of these orchids are cheap, and some are expensive. The ones I hide here are naturally rare items. They are usually locked to prevent people from stealing my precious orchids." Mr. Zhou made a gesture of invitation and continued to laugh. Said, "Brother, please come in."

"Young Master Zhou, please first." Song Junchen replied, standing at the door and refusing to move.

Young Master Zhou smiled, walked in first, and opened two windows sealed with dark paper, which made the room much brighter.

Song Junchen hesitated for a moment, but still walked in with his legs.

"It's a pity that this pot of orchid is not in flowering period, brother, I missed the most fragrant flower in the world."

When the incense was mentioned, Song Junchen's heart skipped a beat again. Sure enough, Hall Master Nan is the best at making incense and is also the most sensitive to it. Only he can use the scent to track him. Could it be that this person is really...

Just when Song Junchen was feeling anxious, he suddenly heard the door of the room being closed with a slam. He was startled, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

That Young Master Zhou stopped his chattering introduction to Lancao, turned his back to Song Junchen, and said softly: "Pavilion Master, don't come here without any problems."

Song Junchen secretly tightened Granny Ye's life-threatening net, thinking that if the other party dared to make a move, he would let him taste the feeling of being stabbed all over by the golden wire net.

The other party turned around slowly and looked straight at Song Junchen. Danfeng's eyes were full of self-blame and warmth, and then he knelt down slowly.

"What are you doing?"

"Yi Jing failed to protect the Pavilion Master in time, causing the Pavilion Master to suffer." Young Master Zhou is Yi Jing, and Yi Jing is Young Master Zhou.At this moment, he couldn't hide his excitement, and there were tears in his eyes.

Song Junchen didn't expect the other party's reaction to be like this, and wondered in his heart why the script didn't follow his imagination?

"After the headquarters found the Nantang, I learned that there was a traitor in the Golden Sparrow Pavilion, and I thought about the existing clues. I dare to assert that the master of the East Hall must be involved!" Anger appeared on Yi Jing's handsome face, "A year ago Hall Master Dong took advantage of Bomei's smile to exchange for a unique incense formula from me, it must be his hand to Master!"

"It could also be you." Song Junchen regained his composure and said

"Among the four hall masters in the east, west, north, south, and north hall, only I and the north hall master have seen the true face of the pavilion master. I have no reason to mark the pavilion master with fragrance."

"If the incense was put by Hall Master Dong, have you ever wondered why I have your incense on me?"

Yi Jing lowered her head in shame and said: "This is exactly where I blame myself. I haven't seen the Pavilion Master for more than a year, so naturally I don't know the kind of fragrance that the Pavilion Master has on him."

"Why haven't we met for more than a year?" Song Junchen still felt suspicious.

"Yes... yes..." Yi Jing hesitated, "It's the pavilion master who doesn't want to see Yi Jing."

"And why?"

"Is the pavilion master not clear?" Yi Jing looked at Song Junchen with red eyes, biting her lips with an aggrieved look on her face, "I know what he wants, but I refuse to say anything, and I don't even want to meet him anymore!"

"..."

So Hall Master Nan is a broken sleeve, unrequitedly in love with the original owner of this body?

Song Junchen was a little embarrassed, but he still didn't let go of his guard, and said, "How can I trust you?"

"Unable to gain the trust of the pavilion master, Yi Jing would rather die." He gritted his teeth.

"Then you die and show me." At this moment, a sonorous voice came from above the two of them, and then a hole was stepped on the roof, and Xue Ce landed firmly beside Song Junchen in the next second .

"Why are you here?" Song Junchen was surprised.

"I told you to go and come back quickly, dawdling." Xue Ce blamed him a little.

"Who are you?" Yi Jing looked angrily at Xue Ce who broke in suddenly and asked, but he still knelt on the ground and had no intention of getting up.

"It has nothing to do with you," Xue Ce looked down at him, "Aren't you going to die? I'll help you."

Immediately, Xue Ce took out the brocade bag from his bosom, opened the bag and put it on the ground, a colorful little snake quickly crawled out with black letters.

"This is... a sprite?!" Yi Jing exclaimed.This kind of snake is very rare, and the more colorful it is, the more poisonous it is. Most of the snakes in the Jianghu have three colors, but this one has five colors on its body, and it will definitely kill you if you bite it.

"Master Xue..." Song Junchen quietly tugged at the corner of Xue Ce's clothes behind his back.

Xue Ce turned his head and gave him a reassuring look.

"The Pavilion Master doubts you the most. How about you prove your innocence with death?" Xue Ce said, crossing his chest and looking coldly at Yi Jing who was kneeling on the ground.

"Really?" Yi Jing looked at Song Junchen with a look of unwillingness to believe, "The Pavilion Master really...doesn't believe Yi Jing?"

"In addition to Xiang, there are indeed many clues pointing to you."

Upon hearing this, Yi Jing slowly shed two lines of male tears, bit her lip and sat there for a while, then suddenly stretched out her hand towards the monster snake, and when she raised her hand again, two blood holes were left on her hand.He looked up at Song Junchen, and smiled helplessly: "Do you believe me now?"

"I..." Song Junchen didn't expect that the other party would really dare to seek death.

"I joined the Golden Sparrow Pavilion five years ago because of my admiration for the pavilion master. I took the position of hall master step by step, thinking that the pavilion master would pay more attention to me, be a bosom friend, and treat me as a Confidant, it was my wishful thinking. Junchen, I gave you my heart, what else do you want..."

The snake venom spread very quickly, and Yi Jing's consciousness began to slowly dissipate. He wanted to say something more, but he could no longer make a sound. His kneeling upper body was already on the verge of falling, as if he was about to fall down at any time.

Song Junchen quickly gave Xue Ce a hand and said, "Hurry up and save him!"

Xue Ce had already taken out the white jade bottle given to him by the old man with the white beard, poured out a red pill from it, and stuffed it roughly into Yi Jing's mouth.
