Subversion of the plot [Comprehensive]

The two of them didn't return to the small building after all, they met Huamanlou in a wine shop, Huamanlou was here specially waiting for them.Lu Xiaofeng has already won the law of aggressive generals and took over the case of the Embroidery Bandit.Now the only clue is the black peony and red satin left at the scene, Lu Xiaofeng decided to ask Mrs. Xue, the magic needle, for advice.

"Why didn't you follow?" Hua Manxin asked first, then thought of something, and said with a smile, "You don't want to see that tigress Xue Bing?"

Hua Manlou laughed: "Xue Bing is just like a tigress to Lu Xiaofeng, if I go with her, she will be polite to me, but Lu Xiaofeng and her... I'd rather not go."

Hua Manlou has a clear mind and is not an uninformed person.

Hua Manxin was noncommittal, maybe it was superfluous, I always felt that Lu Xiaofeng was a little strange to Hua Manlou during this time.However, from his point of view, Lu Xiaofeng is too flirtatious, it's good to be a friend, but to be a lover... Tsk, then he will feel wronged for Huamanlou.

"Going to Yangcheng?" Tao Shuobai asked, feeling a little strange in his heart, in the past Huamanlou was not a nosy person, Lu Xiaofeng was the nosy person.Or, is it because the victims in this case were all blind?

Hua Manlou nodded: "Lu Xiaofeng took the red satin to ask Mrs. Xue, the God Needle. I will go to Yangcheng first and ask Jiang Chongwei and the others to see if they have missed any clues. Jin Jiuling is now ordered to investigate this case, and he will return to the Nanping Palace first. "

Nanping Palace...

Prince Nanping's son is Ye Gucheng's apprentice. Ye Gucheng's return to Zhongyuan was to meet Nanwang and his son. It was just an accident to save Ximen Chuuxue.From the current point of view, other things may have changed, but the battle between Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng is getting closer.In the original book, there is Sun Xiuqing who makes Ximen Chuuxue have feelings and cares, which makes his sword slow down. Now Ximen Chuuxue has no bondage, and the sword is faster and colder. If the two fight...

Arriving in Yangcheng, Hua Manlou immediately went to see Jiang Chongwei. Now Jiang Chongwei is blind and lives in a nunnery, under the care of his sister Jiang Qingxia.

Tao Shuobai didn't go in, Hua Manxin and Hua Manlou entered the nunnery together.

When they came out later, both of them looked uncomfortable, Huamanlou was easy to understand, but Tao Shuobai didn't believe that Huamanxin was worried about those people.

Hua Manxin frowned and said: "We fought against Jiang Qingxia just now, and Jiang Qingxia's blue cloth shoes were actually wearing a pair of red shoes. In the Jinpeng Dynasty case, even though the case was resolved, the relevant people were gone, but Afterwards, Lu Xiaofeng went back to find Shangguan Xueer, and found that King Jinpeng was dead, holding a red shoe in his hand when he died. It was made of bright red satin, with owls embroidered on it."

Hua Manlou took over the words: "At that time Lu Xiaofeng felt that there was something wrong, but he had no idea. In the end, he just thought that the person who killed King Jinpeng happened to be a woman wearing red shoes. But now he saw red shoes again. Obviously, they are not An individual is an organization.”

Hua Manxin said again: "If it's an organization, it's easy to say that such a big case is made, after all, the man who made the case is an embroiderer, but there are so many things, someone has to carry them, he may not trust strangers and keep his mouth shut. In addition, the Eighteen Dendrobium pearls stolen from Nanping Palace are the most strange. No one in this world knows how to penetrate walls, and no one can make a seamless case. Then Jiang Qingxia showed her flaws by cheating. She is Jiang Chongwei again. The most undefended and closest person, Jiang Chongwei, as the head of the palace, has the key to the treasury, so it is very easy for Jiang Qingxia to get a copy. With internal support, this case will be easier to handle. "

It is reasonable to go to the warehouse of the palace to check at this time, but before Lu Xiaofeng arrived, they had no way to go in.

Hua Manxin glanced at Tao Shuobai, seeing that he was indifferent, she remained silent.Although Hua Manxin didn't know the plot, nor did he know the relationship between Ye Gucheng and Nan Wang's son, but he had mastered the Tsing Yi Building and knew that Ye Gucheng was a guest in the palace, which was very strange in itself.He was actually not interested in this, seeing that Tao Shuobai had no intention of entering the palace through Ye Gucheng, and he didn't want to meddle in other matters, anyway, these troublesome things belong to Lu Xiaofeng.

The Hua family is most famous for its real estate. Even in Yangcheng, they bought a few properties, and they immediately lived in a house.This is the place where the Hua family lived every year when they came here to inspect the accounts and inspect the property.

In a few days, Lu Xiaofeng arrived, accompanied by Xue Bing.

The two paired their respective messages, and they both circled one target - the red shoes!

Tao Shuobai never got involved in these matters, and just watched for enthusiasm, just in case.Hua Manxin didn't want to worry about it, so he put in all his effort to check the red shoes. After several days, he finally had some clues.Although these red shoes members are all women, they all have good means of earning money. It is a trivial matter for each of them to earn 10,000+ silver every year, which shows that they have accumulated a lot of money.Thinking that the red shoes also appeared in the Jinpeng Dynasty, I was afraid that he had also thought about the Tsing Yi Building, but for some reason, he finally stopped.

As for the members of the Red Shoes Organization, it was very difficult to find out, but the leader of the group, Gongsun Lan, accidentally found out.When it comes to Gongsun Lan, few people may know it, but when it comes to female butcher, peach blossom bee, five poisonous lady, mother-in-law, grandma Xiong, any name can stop a child from crying at night.And it can be seen from these titles that Gongsun Lan is not young.

Lu Xiaofeng decided to visit the palace at night, not for any other reason, but to personally test whether a person can break into the heavily guarded palace with his own ability.But this kind of thing is very dangerous, if you don't do it, you will lose your life. He always loves to take risks, but he can't let Xue Bing take risks with him.

"You find someone outside to talk and drink, and wait for me to come out."

"Who do you want me to go to?" Xue Bing naturally knew the danger, but she was not happy when Lu Xiaofeng said such words.

"Whoever you want, as long as you can talk and drink, you can find anyone you want." Lu Xiaofeng said.

"Okay! Then I'll go talk to other men and drink! Lu Xiaofeng, go to hell!" Xue Bing blushed angrily, kicked him hard and ran away.

This scene happened to be watched by Hua Manlou, Lu Xiaofeng inexplicably felt very embarrassed, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Hua Manlou frowned and said, "It's getting dark, she just ran out like a girl, aren't you worried?"

"She is a famous tigress, she can cut off a man's hand with a knife, who can bully her?" Having said that, Lu Xiaofeng was also worried.No matter how powerful Xue Bing is, she is a girl after all, and she followed him from Shenzhen Mountain Villa. If something happens...

"Don't worry about Miss Xue, I'll let Man Xin follow." Tao Shuobai naturally didn't want Xue Bing to have an accident, but it wasn't because of pity and compassion, or because of Hua Manlou's compassion, but because he didn't want Lu Xiaofeng to feel guilty about it.Besides, no matter how ruthless this girl Xue Bing is, she is far better than Aunt Gongsun and others, and she is also pure in some aspects.

Lu Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Hua Manlou asked: "Do you really want to visit the palace at night? The palace's guards are very strict. If you are so bold, if you break in, you will die as a phoenix."

"I asked the Snake King about it, and I know the general layout of the palace and patrols. If it's really not good, I can still reveal my identity. Jin Jiuling won't watch me lose his life, and he still counts on me to solve the case." Lu Xiaofeng said relaxedly, his eyes But very bright and serious.

"I'll go with you." If you're not here, it's fine. Now that you're here, how can Hua Manlou rest assured that he will take the risk alone.

"No need, Qitong." Lu Xiaofeng refused, even he refused to take Xue Bing, so how could he dare to take Huamanlou on an adventure.In his heart, Huamanlou has always been the most special friend, and if he wants to rank his friends, it must be the first.

As night fell, Lu Xiaofeng left.

Hua Manlou stood in the courtyard and paced back and forth, worried, but saw Tao Shuobai coming out of the house, as if about to go out. "Master?"

"Go to the palace."

"Wangfu? Then, where is Manxin?" Hua Manlou was also worried about Manxin's delay in returning.

"Xue Bing is fine, Man Xin has other things to do, don't worry about him." Tao Shuobai knew it very well, and Man Xin focused on the red shoes again.Tao Shuobai just felt something in his heart, and after calculating, it showed that there was a strange soul in Nanwang's mansion, and it was vaguely related to Lu Xiaofeng, so he was a little worried for a while.Lu Xiaofeng is a very nosy person, in other words, he has spoiled many people's good deeds. If the ghost is a time traveler, it is not very dangerous. If it is a reborn person, Lu Xiaofeng is definitely an obstacle to deal with.

Hua Manlou followed and asked, "How do we enter the palace?"

"Ye Gucheng is in the Nanwang Mansion."

Hua Manlou was shocked.

Anyone who hears this will be surprised. After all, in the eyes of the world, Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, is as lonely as a white cloud in the sky. Although he is well-known in the Central Plains, he rarely shows up in the Central Plains. The palace is the emperor's relatives, and it doesn't look like the two will be together.Huamanlou is not stupid, on the contrary he is very smart, and because the Hua family has a large fortune, it is inevitable to deal with the court, and he became sensitive when he heard about it.

But in the end, he just frowned slightly and said nothing.

Tao Shuobai came to the gate of the palace, didn't post any invitations, and directly said that he wanted Baiyun City Lord.Perhaps because of his outstanding temperament, the guards did not dare to be careless, and as soon as he informed him, he was quickly ushered in.

Ye Gucheng stood in the courtyard and waited quietly.

"I didn't expect you to come here." Ye Gucheng didn't ask him why he came, his expression was always calm, and he prepared good tea for the guests.

When Tao Shuobai saw Ye Gucheng, he frowned slightly. Ye Gucheng's temperament fluctuated greatly, which meant that his life was in danger at any time.Tao Shuobai immediately let go of his consciousness, covering the entire palace, and saw a person unexpectedly, and finally understood the reason.

He pointed at Huamanlou: "I forgot to introduce last time, this is Huamanlou, the seventh son of the Hua family, my apprentice."

Ye Gucheng glanced at Hua Manlou, nodded, his eyes showed doubts, and waited for the next sentence.

"Where is the apprentice of the city lord?" Tao Shuobai asked directly.

Ye Gucheng raised his eyebrows, surprised in his heart: "How do you know? This is a secret."

Tao Shuobai said: "As long as everything happens, there will always be traces. I didn't want to see him, but he wanted to kill Lu Xiaofeng, I absolutely can't ignore it."

Huamanlou suddenly changed color.At this time, there was also a commotion outside, presumably Lu Xiaofeng was found when he broke in, only heard the commotion, I'm afraid...

Ye Gucheng frowned: "He has no reason to kill Lu Xiaofeng."

Ye Gucheng didn't doubt Tao Shuobai's words, but based on his understanding of Nan Wang and his son, the two had great ambitions, and before their ambitions were realized, there would be no big commotion.Although Lu Xiaofeng is only a man from the world, he is a celebrity in the world, and has friends all over the world. Once something happens to Lu Xiaofeng, all eyes will be on the Nanwang Mansion, which is very unfavorable to their plan.

"The city lord knows that I know astrology and divination, the city lord must be careful." Tao Shuobai didn't talk about strange powers and chaos, but just made a few points.

Ye Gucheng thought of the plan of Nan Wang and his son, and mistook it for this matter. However, he was full of confidence at the moment and did not think that the plan would fail.Furthermore, even if he fails, he is not afraid.

"Flowers Man Lou! Brother Tao! Help!" Suddenly saw Lu Xiaofeng flying over from the courtyard wall on the roof, followed by a large group of palace guards. No matter how flexible the method is, it is almost tied into a hedgehog.

Ye Gucheng's expression changed slightly, because what Tao Shuobai said was actually true, this kind of battle really seemed to want Lu Xiaofeng's life.This behavior is not in line with the behavior of Nan Wang and his son. The matter is indeed very strange.

As soon as Lu Xiaofeng landed on the ground, he quickly ran behind Tao Shuobai, but suddenly a glare of cold light hit him, causing him to slash the ground with his toes and retreat quickly, but the sword light was so fast and fierce that there was no way to dodge it, it was about to pierce through his chest.But at this moment, his chest was sunken, and the tip of the sword just stopped. If he made another point, he would be stabbed right through. It was his two fingers that held the blade firmly.

Lu Xiaofeng moved away slowly, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with a wry smile, "What does the city lord mean?"

"As expected it is Lu Xiaofeng, what a powerful consonant finger." Ye Gucheng's eyes were bright, and there seemed to be a smile on his lips, but it made Lu Xiaofeng's back stand on end, because Ye Gucheng seemed to want to strike again.

"Don't dare, if the city lord hadn't been merciful, I would have been a dead phoenix by now." Lu Xiaofeng knew very well that Ye Gucheng's sword was extremely fast, but if the opponent used all his strength, whether he could dodge it was hard to predict.

Hua Manlou also heaved a sigh of relief, frowned and asked, "Lu Xiaofeng, I think if you continue like this, you will become a dead chicken sooner or later!"

"My fate, Lu Xiaofeng, has always been good." Lu Xiaofeng's words were just to appease Hua Manlou, but in fact, he was also wondering why he was discovered as soon as he sneaked into the palace?Those people were still merciless, as if they were waiting for him.

At this time, Jin Jiuling came, and he was following a young man in brocade clothes, who was the eldest son of the Southern Palace.Few of the royal family are ugly. The son of the Southern King was naturally handsome, accompanied by the temperament cultivated since childhood, which is naturally noble and really brilliant.

Hua Manlou frowned secretly, he followed Tao Shuobai to learn astrology and divination, and he also learned astrology, and now he dare not say who he is, but how confident is he? Where is it incongruous, as if, this face is very awkward.Of course, he only kept these words in his heart, and it was impossible for him to speak out to offend others.

"Master." Nan Wang Shizi was very respectful to Ye Gucheng, and only this "Master" shouted out, which shocked several people.Nan Wang Shizi seemed to turn a blind eye to Lu Xiaofeng and ignored Lu Xiaofeng, but looked at Tao Shuobai with obvious inquiring intentions: "Master, this is the Senior Tao you mentioned before? I don't know much about Jianghu, but I have never heard of it."

It stands to reason that Tao Shuobai and Ye Gucheng met each other first, and now that they meet each other's disciples, it is normal to give a meeting gift.But seniority in Jianghu is easy to be confused. For example, Lu Xiaofeng is a friend of Huamanlou, but Huamanlou became his apprentice. It seems that Lu Xiaofeng is a generation lower than him, but if you don’t care about it, you don’t care so much, so Ye Gucheng previously He didn't act like an elder to Huamanlou, but at this moment, Nanwang Shizi acted like a junior, which made Tao Shuo feel embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter. You call him Mr. Tao. You are a person in the Jianghu, and you don't have to pay so much attention." Ye Gucheng made a relief.

Seeing what he said, the son of the Southern Prince knew that he was not good enough to ask again, so he turned around and asked Lu Xiaofeng with a smile: "Jin Catcher invited the famous Lu Xiaofeng to investigate the case, why did Lu Xiaofeng become a thief?"

Lu Xiaofeng instinctively felt that something was wrong with this prince, he smiled and said: "I would also like to thank His Royal Highness for your mercy, this time I want to test whether a person can sneak into the palace by myself alone, but the palace is heavily guarded, even if the other party sneaks into the palace I'm afraid it's hard to avoid the layout completely. I wonder if I can go to the warehouse where the incident happened?"

"Well, Boss Jin, this matter is entrusted to you." Nan Wang Shizi naturally wouldn't do such things himself, he was still more interested in the mysterious Tao Shuobai, but he didn't inquire any further. .

Tao Shuobai declined the invitation of Nanwang Shizi, and left Nanwangfu with Huamanlou.

Back at the residence, Hua Manlou finally couldn't help expressing his doubts: "Master, I think that Nan Wang Shizi's face is very strange, what's the reason?"

"Because it's not his real face, he must have modified it on purpose."

"But, why?" Hua Manlou was puzzled.

At this time, Hua Manxin came in from the outside, and said, "What doubts there are, there must be demons when things go wrong! He is a dignified son of the Southern King, and he is not a wanted criminal. Why did he cover up his true face? He showed people with a fake face, explaining that His true face will bring him trouble, or... he will use his true face to do great things."

Immediately, Hua Manlou thought of Ye Gucheng's strange appearance in the Nanwang Mansion, and his doubts and unease deepened.

"What do these things have to do with you? Even if the sky falls, Lu Xiaoji will rush to carry it." Hua Manxin joked a few times, but said one thing: "I followed Xue Bing and met a person, Jiang Qing Xia."

"Jiang Qingxia?"

"Yes, before I followed Xue Bing, she was so angry by Lu Xiaofeng, she got drunk and ran to find the Snake King. Later she left the Snake King, and the Snake King specially asked two people to follow her to avoid accidents, but I saw her as if I received some message, walked further and further away, and left the two people behind me behind. Later, I saw Xue Bing and Jiang Qingxia standing deep in the alley, their tone of voice was very familiar, it didn't look like they were meeting each other for the first time .In addition, guess how the two of them called each other? Jiang Qingxia called Xue Bing 'Eight Sister', and Xue Bing called Jiang Qingxia 'Fifth Sister'."

Hua Manlou was startled: "Here, is Xue Bing also the person in the red shoes?"

"What's even more interesting is that the two of them wandered around the city and finally entered a very secluded courtyard. Xue Bing immediately collapsed after drinking a cup of tea."

"What is Jiang Qingxia doing?" Hua Manlou became more and more confused.

"I always feel that there is someone behind Jiang Qingxia, otherwise what would she do with Xue Bingtu? Robbing Lu Xiaofeng? Chick, Jiang Qingxia is a very smart woman, and she seemed to have affection for Lu Xiaofeng before, but since she knew Xue Bing was there, how could she take a Lu Xiaofeng is all focused on Lu Xiaofeng? Lu Xiaofeng is notoriously a vagabond. What's more, as an organization, the red shoes have never been conspicuous, which shows that the organization is strict and the rules are strict. Why did Jiang Qingxia take such a big risk?"

Hua Manlou couldn't help asking: "What happened next?"

"Later, Jiang Qingxia stuffed Xue Bing in the dark compartment under the bed. Presumably the powder would make Xue Bing fall asleep, and then she left. I had someone stare at that small courtyard, and someone stared at Jiang Qingxia , Come back and tell you first. One more thing, the two people sent out by the Snake King died, and they were blind when they died."

"Embroidered Thief? This...things are getting more and more complicated."

Not long after, Lu Xiaofeng came back.

Hua Manlou immediately told about Xue Bing, Lu Xiaofeng was taken aback for a moment, after all he found out the address, and hurried over there.Whether Xue Bing is a member of the red shoes or not, Lu Xiaofeng does not want Xue Bing to be in danger.

Hua Manlou followed.

After everyone left, Tao Shuobai asked Hua Manxin: "Have you checked the son of Prince Nan?"

Hua was puzzled: "What is Cha doing?"

"You'd better check it carefully, and be more vigilant. You may not care about him, but he may not care about you. If Lu Xiaofeng didn't run fast tonight, he would have died in Nanwang's mansion." The son of Nanwang is a reborn person , killing Lu Xiaofeng is easy to understand, because the plan of Nan Wang and his son was destroyed in Lu Xiaofeng's hands.If he knew that Hua Manxin existed, how could the son of the Southern Prince not be suspicious?After all, there is no one who is full of love in the last world. According to the thinking of this kind of people, it is better to kill the wrong than to let it go!

Only in this way, the case this time will definitely be different from the previous one. If Jin Jiuling dared to steal the pearls from Nanwang's mansion, he would have to bear the revenge of Nanwang's son.

An hour later, Lu Xiaofeng came back from all over the building, bringing Xue Bing who was blushing and bowed her head silently.

The atmosphere is eccentric.

"You go back to Shenzhen Mountain Villa." Lu Xiaofeng's voice was not cold, but it still made Xue Bing feel cold all over his body.

"I won't return! I will follow you!" Xue Bing shouted.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "I already know that you are the eighth sister of the red shoes, you have committed so many big crimes and harmed so many people..."

Xue Bing gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Xiaofeng, you are so cruel! Yes! I am the Eighth Sister of the Red Shoes, but so what? I have never harmed you! Besides, we did not do these cases at all this time, let alone Eldest sister did it, someone wanted to frame it!"

Hua Manlou winked, and the other three left.Hua Manlou said: "We waited there for a long time, and no one went to the small courtyard. At this time, someone threw a note saying that Jiang Qingxia was dead. We took Xue Bing to check, Jiang Qingxia He is indeed dead, piercing his chest with a sword, that man's swordsmanship is very powerful, Lu Xiaofeng said, I'm afraid he is not under Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng."

Aunt Gongsun!
