Gu Xiuyi nodded in a satisfied manner, "Yeah, not bad."

The attendant stuffed the banknote into the madam's hand, and the madam became more active, "Master, Hongying is still with the prince today, and these girls can serve you comfortably."

Gu Xiuyi became more interested after hearing this. "It's a good name, and I think the person will be more beautiful. Forget it, I'm not interested in these ones. Let's come back another day."

Seeing that he was so generous, the madam couldn't bear to let him go like that, so she quickly called the pimp and told him, "Go and call Pan Liu."

Then he smiled and moved aside to block Gu Xiuyi, "Don't worry, Master. We have another one here named Pan Liu, who not only looks like Hong Ying, but they are also as close as sisters. Since the elder sister is not here, it's the same to let the younger sister serve, don't you think?"

Gu Xiuyi's eyebrows moved, "Yes, that's it."

After the pimp brought the person over, Gu Xiuyi stuffed silver into the madam's pocket, asked the guard to whisper a few words in her ear, then turned around and took the person away without the other party even daring to raise her head.

Pan Liu followed Gu Xiuyi into the carriage. After a while, a sense of uneasiness gradually arose in her heart.

The young man who took him out for the night was not like the usual guests at all. He had no intention of touching her at all. Instead, he sat far away from her with a solemn expression.

As time went on, Pan Liu became more and more uneasy. She leaned forward slightly and called out "Young Master" in a delicate voice, but still got no response.

After a while, they arrived at the gate of an ordinary house. Gu Xiuyi got out of the car. Pan Liu was so frightened that she dared not move, so she was grabbed by the wrist by the guards and taken away.

When they reached the inner room, Gu Xiuyi had the door closed. Pan Liu was terrified and could only say with a trembling voice, "If you are not satisfied with Pan Liu, you can send me back to Yunbin Tower. There are other sisters there who will definitely please you."

Pan Liu thought she was lucky. At first, she was serving a wealthy businessman who was fat and bloated. But her mother had someone call her out and told her to serve the young master well.

She was delighted to see that he was handsome, but she didn't expect that he was not interested in that at all.

This young man is very generous, he must be either rich or noble, otherwise he wouldn't have taken my mother out of Yunbin Tower to spend the night just by whispering a few words in her ear.

Just when Pan Liu was in a state of confusion, Gu Xiuyi suddenly said, "Hongying is dead."

Pan Liu was so shocked by his words that he suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth and took a breath.

"We are government officials. This matter involves the Second Prince of Qianhan Kingdom, so we must not make it public. Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes, I understand." Pan Liu nodded quickly in reply.

"I'll ask you a few questions. If you know anything, tell me everything. Don't hide anything."

"I understand."

"This is not a brothel, so there's no need to call me slave all the time. Just call yourself "I." Gu Xiuyi pressed his brows and said.

"Yes." Pan Liu responded with red eyes, and asked cautiously: "Did Sister Hongying anger His Royal Highness the Prince, so..."

"Hongying's cause of death is not like that. The murderer who killed Hongying was an old acquaintance of hers. Now tell me all the people who knew her, and I will make the final decision."

Pan Liu hurriedly recalled that in addition to the madam, there were also the sisters from Yunbin Tower. Her expression suddenly tensed up and she thought of someone.

"My sister was very close to a man named Fan Gaobin, but he disappeared a few days ago."

"What is the relationship between the two of them?"

Pan Liu lowered her head and said, "My sister once told me that Fan Gaobin wanted to redeem her."

"Think carefully, is there anyone else?" Gu Xiuyi asked.

"We just arrived in the capital not long ago, and we didn't know many people in Yangzhou before. Only Fan Gaobin followed us all the way here."

Gu Xiuyi thought for a moment, "Do you still remember what Fan Gaobin looks like?"

"I remember some of it, but not in detail."

Gu Xiuyi asked her to describe it according to her memory. Pan Liu described her general appearance including facial features and body shape. Gu Xiuyi asked the guards nearby to report to Dai Zhengqi immediately, and he also led people to search separately.

Before leaving, Gu Xiuyi turned his back to Pan Liu and said, "When you go back, you know what to say. I've left someone to take you back tomorrow morning. Take the reward, but watch your mouth."

"Yes." Pan Liu bowed.

Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo stayed in the house until midnight, and the female corpse was already covered with talismans.

"Looking at the situation, I'm afraid Qin Zhantian will die within three days." Gu Lingze said while supporting his head while sitting at the table.

Zhao Chengmo didn't say anything, he just put his arms around Gu Lingze's shoulders and let him lean his head on his shoulder.

Suddenly, Qin Zhantian, who was lying on the bed, coughed twice, and then slowly opened his eyes.

He smelled a bloody smell from his nose and was about to turn his head to look when he heard someone shouting his name.

"Qin Zhantian!" Gu Lingze was afraid of scaring him, so he quickly called for someone to make him look at him.

Qin Zhantian looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man with extraordinary appearance standing there, looking at him anxiously. He glanced at the other's slender nose, cherry-red lips, and then moved to the red mole on the forehead, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Where did this beautiful lady come from? Are you waiting for me in this room at night?"

"Damn it." Gu Lingze cursed. Qin Zhantian was still thinking such cunning things even when he was about to die. If it wasn't involving Gu Xiuyi, he would have just let him die.

"Who are you! Why are you in my room?" Qin Zhantian saw Zhao Chengmo again at this time, and immediately felt something was wrong, so he shouted sternly.

Gu Lingze raised his middle finger at him, "Chengmo, knock him out."

Qin Zhantian was about to stand up to defend himself when he felt dizzy. Before the darkness in front of his eyes faded away, he felt a pain in his neck and fell back on the bed.

The guards outside the door vaguely heard the noise inside and were about to ask when there was movement on the other side of the door. It turned out that Gu Xiuyi and Dai Zhengqi were leading people and coming back in a hurry.

When he opened the door, he saw Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo standing in front of the bed. He turned around and found that Gu Xiuyi had returned, so he hurriedly asked about the situation.

"The man has been found, but he has been refusing to admit his identity."

Gu Lingze stepped forward and looked at the man being escorted. He was thin and had a bruised face.

"What's going on with his face?"

Dai Zhengqi explained: "When I found him in the ruined temple, Cheng Jiao's men were ready to attack him. The wound on his face was caused by the beggars in the ruined temple. If the beggars hadn't rushed out and ran to the street, I'm afraid he would be dead now."

Gu Lingze nodded thoughtfully, "What is the relationship between this person and the dancer?"
