Li Sanjin, shopkeeper of Chengxi Jade Store, was a skinny middle-aged man who was invited by Yao Yitang to a banquet and sat at the table closest to the entrance of the escalator.

Seeing the person's face clearly, he said in surprise, "Boss Shen?"

When the others heard it, they raised their heads one after another, and looked in the direction of the uninvited guests, only to realize that the person who came was the proprietress of Yinshuang Building, Shen Chunlu.

Zhang Qinglan was held in Ao Zhan's arms before, and when she let go, the golden hairpins and jade hairpins between her buns became even more chaotic.Leaning on the man's chest, clutching his sleeves, he secretly looked at the woman across from him.

Ao Zhan lowered his head and caught a glimpse of the focused eyes of the young man in his arms. After a moment, he had a thought and easily erased the traces of the two of them in the crowd.

Yinshuang Building is famous for its spirits, and the proprietress is known far and wide for her violent temper.Now that he came to the door in a menacing manner, he didn't know what kind of enmity he had with this Baihualou.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do for a while.

Shen Chunlu kicked open the door railing in front of her just now, as if she was relieved, now when she heard Li Sanjin's voice, she turned her head and slightly raised her eyebrows at him, and said hello softly: "Oh, so it's Shopkeeper Li, long time no see."

The half-smile expression on his face made the man a little embarrassed, and he nodded with a sneer.

The woman was about 30 years old, with fine lines around her eyes, a small white porcelain vase pinned to her waist, and a white rosewood pipe between her slender fingers, with a sharp face.

Looking around, except for a few servant girls hiding in the corner and drooping their heads, there was no sign of Yao Yitang in the huge first floor.

Seeing this, Shen Chunlu frowned, and led a few men who looked like thugs straight forward, looking at the mess in the tower, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

The people nearby first experienced the sudden and strange gust of wind, and before they recovered, they were startled by the menacing Shen Chunlu.

The timid people had already quietly slipped away through the back door, and the rest were the gentry and local tyrants who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal. They stayed in their seats and even raised their hands to pour tea into their cups.

Ao Zhan showed little interest in this, and while watching with cold eyes, he did not forget to straighten Zhang Qinglan's crooked sideburns, and wiped off the pastry crumbs from the young man's mouth with a silk handkerchief.

Zhang Qinglan obediently let //him//play//fiddle with her, but her eyes were glued to Shen Chunlu's body, watching very seriously.

A boy with his head bowed and twisting his clothes came out from the corner, Shen Chunlu asked coldly: "Tell me, where did your master go?"

The boy was not very old, his face was pale, he seemed to be frightened by the woman's harsh tone, and he couldn't help shrinking back.He lowered his head and muttered, "I, I don't know anything."

Shen Chunlu sneered when she heard the words, curling the corners of her lips, but the smile didn't reach the corners of her eyes: "What? Master Yao knows to be afraid now?"

Seeing the stagnant atmosphere, someone from the side came up to smooth things over: "Boss Shen, what happened? We have something to talk about."

"Speak well?" Shen Chunlu pursed her red lips into a straight line, and frowned: "When Yao Yitang detained my Kang Ping, why didn't you 'have something to say' to me?"

Before the words fell, there was an uproar.

Most of the people here are old customers of Yinshuang Building, and they know that Kang Ping in Shen Chunlu's mouth is actually a confidant maid by her side. The business of Yinshuang Building has been so prosperous for many years, and the credit of Kang Ping is indispensable.

The two people who were hiding in a side corner were interested in investigating. Although Zhang Qinglan was silent, his eyes revealed the same astonishment and astonishment in him and others.

He was held in Ao Zhan's arms, pressed between his teeth, and stuffed another brown pill that was the same as before, the young man swallowed it obediently.Then I heard Shen Chunlu say: "Five days ago, I heard that a new restaurant was going to be opened in the town, and the owner was also a woman."

Boss Shen paused, then walked to the table of the Eight Immortals, tapped the sour branch pipe in his hand on the table a few times, and said in a slow voice: "Thinking of the difficulties and difficulties in doing business in the past few years. Give me a small gift and order Kang Ping to send it for me, as a token of my heart."

"Who would have thought that my family, Kang Ping, would never return, and there has been no news since then, and even the few people who accompanied her have disappeared." Shen Chunlu's eyes changed slightly, the pipe in his hand was run over on the wooden table, and he said angrily: "She Yao Yitang repays kindness with grievances. Why, why don't you allow me to come to the door in person and ask for an explanation?"

"This..." The person who spoke just now heard Shen Chunlu's words, and took a few steps back hesitantly: "But Master Yao has just arrived, and he has no grievances or enmity with you, Boss Shen, why bother to detain Miss Kang?"

Shen Chunlu snorted: "Kang Ping is my confidant, she has half of the secret recipes for all kinds of drinks in Yinshuanglou, and they are all colleagues. Who knows what that woman is up to?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere seemed to stagnate.

At this moment, a soft female voice sounded from behind the bead curtain not far away: "Boss Shen, what do you say?"

With the sound of colored glass colliding, a slender hand lifted the bead curtain, and Yao Yitang, who had disappeared for a long time, walked out slowly from behind the curtain.

There was an obviously abnormal paleness on the exquisite face, even if she covered it with powder, it could not make up for her weakness and exhaustion.It's just that it's more like exhaustion than a sudden illness.

Reminiscent of the violent wind created by Ao Zhan before, Zhang Qinglan turned to look at the man with probing eyes.

Ao Zhan was expressionless, he just stroked the messy hair on the sideburns of the young man, and warned him: "Look at it if you want, don't worry about it."

The young man's eyes were inexplicable, he raised his head after a while, and put a light and quick kiss on Ao Zhan's lips before turning around.

Yao Yitang was followed by a maid, who held her arm and walked forward cautiously.The appearance of a weak willow supporting the wind, really makes me feel pity.

Seeing that she finally appeared, Shen Chunlu let go of the shivering servant in front of her, and led the people behind her to face her.

Walking one step at a time among the crowd, Yao Yitang bowed to the surroundings first, and apologized: "The hospitality is not good, please forgive me."

Then she took a snow-white silk handkerchief to cover her lips.Yao Yitang coughed a few times, his eyes were red, and he shook his head slightly: "Boss Shen, I have never received a gift from Yinshuang Building, let alone Ms. Kang Ping."

The shopkeeper Li who was closest to Yao Yitang saw this, and felt pity in his heart immediately, and he felt his blood rushing up, prompting him to stand up and say something.

Dizziness suddenly struck, and a dark light flashed in Li Sanjin's eyes. After losing his mind for a moment, he got up and said indignantly: "Boss Shen, you must tell evidence when you do things, you can't spout blood."

Before the words fell, several other guests on the side also nodded in agreement, accusing Shen Chunlu of being wrong.

Seeing this, Shen Chunlu's face gradually became gloomy. Looking at Yao Yitang's innocent face, she tightly clenched the rosewood pipe in her hand, and said coldly, "Don't you just want evidence? I'll give it to you."

After a while, a watchman in plain clothes came out tremblingly from behind the three or four big men, holding a copper gong in his hand, rubbing it nervously.

"Tell them," Shen Chunlu walked to the watchman, her almond eyes widened, and said coldly, "What did you see that night?"

The watchman was not very old, and he was doing watch work, so he didn't see so many people on weekdays.Now being stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes, a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead not long after.

"I, I remember, that evening, A Niu and I were around here, knocking on clappers." The watchman swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and stammered, "There was a girl... with a big red box in her arms, and brought a few people with her. , go upstairs together."

"This building is beautifully built. A Niu and I have never seen it before, so we paid more attention to it."

"And then?" Li Sanjin who was on the side heard this, and asked him anxiously: "Did you see that girl come out?"

"some."

Unexpectedly, the watchman nodded sincerely.Li Sanjin heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"But," the watchman continued, "A Niu and I passed by in the middle of the night. Look, I saw that girl brought someone in again."

"...This time, I never came out again."

"It was too late at that time, and there was no one on the road, so A Niu and I remembered it clearly... If you don't believe me, if you don't believe me, you can ask A Niu."

Finally finished speaking, the watchman shook his head, took a step back subconsciously, and hid behind the strong man again.

After hearing this, Shen Chunlu's expression became even worse.Looking sullenly at Yao Yitang, his eyes are like knives.

Yao Yitang's originally indifferent expression finally showed a crack, she stroked the hand of the maid beside her, and took a few steps towards the watchman.

Seeing this, those strong men immediately stepped forward and stopped her directly.

"Boss Shen, what do you mean?" Facing Shen Chunlu's eyes, Yao Yitang's eyes darkened at first, but soon changed into a helpless expression.

"Not to mention the third watch in the middle of the night, is a watchman dazzled and accidentally saw a mistake?"

"What's more, this is the person brought by you, Boss Shen? If you join forces, you will intentionally damage my reputation in Baihualou," Yao Yitang said sadly, "I'm a weak girl, and I'm new to Yecheng, and I have no one to rely on... "

After a few words, the key points were blurred intentionally or unintentionally, and the responsibility was completely shirked.

As time passed, no one noticed that the pink and white petals that had been blown away by the breeze reappeared in the night sky, fluttering and not falling.

In the center of the tower, Shen Chunlu rolled her eyes angrily at her words.

Raising his hand and waving to the strong men behind him, Boss Shen's brows were heavy, and he ordered impatiently: "Smash this Baihualou for me, and dig three feet to find my family Kang Ping."

"Boss Shen!"

Yao Yitang is naturally not a character to be manipulated by others, and the anger on his face finally couldn't help showing.

He whispered a few words to the maid beside him, and not long after, several strong men appeared behind him.

Shen Chunlu took down the jade bottle from her waist, and threw it hard on the ground, and the people on both sides started to move their hands immediately.

The scene instantly became chaotic.
