Chapter 286 Return to Yan Gui Pavilion
"Love killing?" Zheng Yuanyuan, as if he had heard a joke, said while pouring tea into his mouth, "How can a playboy have any love? If he really wants to kill the courtesan, there is only one reason, that is, someone has already chosen the courtesan, and the others don't want to lose face. But...how many people would kill for this little bit of face?"
Wu Huan was speechless. Gu Qingyun nodded in appreciation, "This kid, your explanation is very logical. If you have the chance in the future, you should take the exam to join the Dali Temple."
Zheng Yuanyuan's eyes, which had been calm at first, paused. He had no chance, but he just smiled and said politely, "Thank you for your praise, Lord Shaoqing."
Having said that, his attention returned to the pot of beef belly hotpot.
Seeing that the child was eating very seriously, I didn't want to disturb him and returned to my seat.
"Dandy... Lord Shaoqing, have you ever been a dandy?" Zhao Huaiqing was eager to find a real dandy to verify it, so he asked with his eyes wide open.
Gu Qingyun shook his head. If he wanted to be a playboy, he did have the capital, but unfortunately he did not have the talent to be one.
"If it's really as that young master said, then there's probably no one in Yan Gui Pavilion who can assassinate the courtesan." Zhao Huaiqing touched his chin. He himself had some doubts about what the young master said, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was right.
"That's not the case. He understands the mentality of the playboys, but he doesn't know if every playboy has the same mentality. If someone pretends to be a playboy and enters Yan Gui Pavilion, there is no way to identify him."
Gu Qingyun carefully recalled all the people he had asked today, and it seemed that no one looked suspicious... This was really strange, could it be just a simple rival?
In this case, the protection work of Yan Gui Pavilion is not very good. The oiran died suddenly in front of all the guests on the first night of her debut. It would not sound good to spread this out.
But this time, Yan Gui Pavilion really got everyone's attention. Those who didn't go to brothels before now knew about Yan Gui Pavilion to some extent.
“But what is the opponent’s intention? Now the limelight of the whole city has been snatched by Yangui Pavilion. Today I even heard that the courtesan flew out of Yangui Pavilion like a swallow…” Wu Huan was speechless. When he heard this story recently, he wondered if Yangui Pavilion was afraid of having a bad reputation and specially hired someone to write the story.
Gu Qingyun suddenly had an idea. If that was the case, then Yan Gui Pavilion itself was highly suspicious.
Now they have gained the limelight they wanted, and with so many guests staying inside, they have eaten, drunk, and played.
It even got the surveillance of one of the most powerful government offices in the Dayan Dynasty, so the guests felt very safe inside.
Besides, there were so many people gathered outside that even if it was just to create momentum, many passers-by who didn't know what was going on saw it.
"Yan Gui Pavilion..."
Gu Qingyun took a look at the few remaining dishes. Several people in Dali Temple had a talent: no matter whether the food was acceptable or not, or whether it tasted good or not, they would not waste it.
"I'll pay after we finish eating. I have to go to Yangui Pavilion again." Gu Qingyun frowned. He was not afraid of another murder. If there was another murder under such an iron wall, then the others would have no chance of survival.
He was mainly afraid that if it was really done by someone in Yangui Pavilion, they would have been dealt with by now. By the time the Kyoto government reacted, not even a bone would be left.
"Are you still going to Yan Gui Pavilion now? Your Excellency Shao Qing is destined to be a hard worker..."
Xinhai's first reaction was to chase after him. Zhao Huaiqing shouted inside, "Miss An, the silver ingot is on the table. We have an urgent matter."
So they grabbed Wuhuan and chased after him.
……
An Qiao stared at the silver ingot blankly and wrote in her notebook that Gu Qingyun had put another silver ingot there.
He turned back and asked Qiufen blankly, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"It's probably about the Yan Gui Pavilion." Qiu Fen replied. Just now people were coming in and out, ordering and serving food. She passed by several times and overheard a few times. It seemed that they were talking about the Yan Gui Pavilion.
An Qiao nodded, that was normal.
As for Zheng Yuanyuan, he doesn’t show off much, but in his heart he is shouting, Yeah!
It was rare for him to achieve something in that matter, and he was naturally happy when he was finally recognized by others.
……
Inside the Yan Gui Pavilion, the governor of Kyoto felt like he was scratching his head off. He finally registered everyone in the register, but what was the next step? Was there anyone who could save him?
Suddenly, several people jumped down from the roof. It was already completely dark at this time. The clerks had stunned faces and had no time to step forward to stop them.
Then he heard the voice of the Shaoqing Lord, "Has the courtesan been examined by a coroner?"
His voice was filled with heavy breathing, and it was obvious that several people were running here frantically.
Zhao Huaiqing could no longer stand. He didn't know why he felt that the beef stomach hotpot was so unpalatable or why he had eaten so much of it that he just wanted to vomit when he ran.
"Ah? The oiran... the oiran, yes, she has seen it... it was seen by the coroner from our Kyoto government office." The governor of Kyoto obviously didn't react, he spoke stutteringly and responded anxiously.
"What do you mean? Did you see the memorials he brought up?" Gu Qingyun pinched his shoulders, and the prefect felt like he was going to pinch his shoulders to pieces.
"They said he died from falling. We didn't find any poisonous substances inside..." The voice of the Kyoto governor was getting weaker and weaker. Actually, he did look at it, but there were many things he didn't understand. He only remembered the conclusion that it was more likely that he died from falling.
"Give me his memorial quickly." Gu Qingyun didn't have time to blame the prefect at the moment. He just wanted to resolve the matter quickly.
The governor of Kyoto immediately sent someone to get it. While waiting for someone, he looked at the people from the Dali Temple who were running out of breath.
"Um...what happened to you guys?"
Gu Qingyun looked around and saw that besides the people from the Jingdu government office, there were also many people from the Yan Gui Pavilion. Because the people from the Yan Gui Pavilion were the first to report the case to the Jingdu government office, they were automatically ignored and became the least suspicious people.
Gu Qingyun pulled the governor of Jingdu aside and lowered his voice, "I suspect... the people from Yan Gui Pavilion are also suspects."
The governor of Kyoto's eyes widened instantly. What?
No one who came in and out during the past two days suspected that someone from Yan Gui Ge was involved. If someone from Yan Gui Ge had done it, it would not have been discovered.
"Two days is enough to deal with everything." The prefect also reacted.
Gu Qingyun nodded and let go of the Kyoto prefect. The two looked at each other and saw fatigue in each other's eyes.
