Chapter 293 Do you have a flying golden eagle?

Erya suddenly understood.

I see.

Looking at Young Master Lin's back, I felt a little sympathetic.

Then, she looked at Uncle Mao's back and said, "Uncle Mao is still the best. Uncle Mao is righteous and much better than Young Master Lin. Young Master Lin is too difficult to deal with and has such a bad temper..."

Jiang Lianzhu could not deny it.

She actually thought that Young Master Lin was a little cute because of his awkwardness.

Although she is difficult to deal with, she is also very cute.

After dinner, Jiang Lianzhu exchanged the seafood that Uncle Mao had given her for silver and gave it to Fatty Mao to take home.

When Fatty Mao refused to accept it, Jiang Lianzhu said that if he didn't accept it, he wouldn't have to come to eat in the future. The Jiang family didn't want their things, so they wouldn't allow him to eat.

There was no other choice, the fat boy could only accept it.

I went back and got angry with Uncle Mao.

"Uncle, why do you send gifts to the Jiang family so frequently? Tell me honestly, are you attracted to Doctor Jiang? If you are, why don't you just go and propose marriage? Why are you sending fish and shrimp for no reason?"

Uncle Mao half-jokingly said to him, "It's all for you, you little bastard. You go to her house for dinner every day and bother her. Forget it, since she doesn't want to accept it, I won't send her next time. Doctor Jiang is really good. I would like to propose marriage, but I'm afraid she won't agree, which would be embarrassing."

The little fat man became excited. "That's really interesting. I'll go and give you a head start. I'll praise you every day in front of Aunt Jiang. How about that? From now on, our two families will become one family. Then Brother Yue and I will really be brothers, and I can eat for free without any hesitation."

"Study hard, you little bastard. If you pass the exam and become a scholar, I'll take you to a prestigious academy in the capital..."

"cut."

***

Capital city.

Six doors.

Liao Jiu dozed off while sitting at his desk. In front of him were a lot of documents and a sketch of the relationships between the characters that he had drawn with his own hands.

There is a vein system above that includes the Second Princess, Xuan Yue, the Imperial Master, etc., circled with a pen.

There is also a lineage including Prince Zhan, Xuan Zhan, and the General, which are circled with a pen.

The last circle is around the three words "Baihualou" with a big question mark on it.

Xiang Zuo walked in quietly and put a cloak on Liao Jiu, which startled him. He opened his eyes and seemed to have dreamed that he was back in Shili Town. Jiang asked him to fetch water from the well. The well was too deep and there seemed to be a man-eating monster in it. He woke up with a start.

Xiang Zuo whispered, "Master, why don't you go back home and rest for a night?"

The circles around Liao Jiu's eyes were dark. He didn't know how many nights he had stayed up all night before he could close his eyes for such a short while.

My head was buzzing as I recalled the second half of the dream carefully. When Jiang Lianzhu asked him to fetch water, it seemed like she was calling him "husband"?

"No, tell me how your investigation is going."

Xiang Zuo replied, "The Second Princess and the Imperial Preceptor have investigated and found out they weren't the ones who spread the rumors. In fact, the rumors already point to them, saying that the emperor listened to the Taoist's slander. The Taoist probably meant the Imperial Preceptor. The Imperial Preceptor and his men are also very angry and are secretly cooperating in the search for the person who spread the rumors."

"Prince Zhan's side doesn't seem likely either, because Prince Zhan disdains the vile and despicable tactics used by the court. Prince Zhan is a giant on the frontier, and has protected Da'an for many years. However, Prince Zhan's old injuries have recurred, and his management of his subordinates is not as good as before. His sons are all young and energetic, and some seem eager to take charge. The emperor summoned him back to the capital to recuperate, and his fiefdom on the frontier is out of reach. It's possible that something is wrong there."

Liao Jiu moved his finger towards the three words "Baihualou".

"Well..."

Xiang Zuodao said, "The Baihualou organization should have disappeared long ago, wiped out by the former Imperial Nest, but they've been active again recently. Or should we say, they were dormant before and are only now emerging. They were able to evade even our Six Gates' pursuit. It's really unexpected. However, we didn't expect them before, but now we will keep a close eye on them..."

Liao Jiu said solemnly, "Baihualou was once the most terrifying underground organization in the previous dynasty. Now it has revived from the ashes. It depends on who is at the helm now and in whose hands..."

In the previous dynasty, when Baihua Tower was powerful, there was a saying in the martial arts world that whoever controlled Baihua Tower would control the world.

This shows how powerful it is.

Later, the rebellion was suppressed after its nest was destroyed and more than ten thousand of its evildoers were killed, with blood flowing like a river.

Xuanhuang has always been very wary of the Baihua Tower.

Speaking of the previous dynasty, how did they eliminate the Baihualou organization? It was the eunuchs in the palace who made great contributions. They had their own West Factory, which trained many eunuchs with good skills, and worked specifically with the Imperial Guards to protect the royal bloodline. In the bloody battle that massacred Baihualou, the elite of the West Factory were all killed, the West Factory was disbanded, and the Six Gates established by Emperor Xuan himself began to govern.

Now that Emperor Xuan is in power, he is very polite to the eunuchs who serve him.

Because of its past glory, some eunuch managers who once came from the Western Factory have certain prejudices against the Six Gates.

The people from the Six Gates also called them eunuchs and disliked each other.

While the two were analyzing, the right envoy came in.

He ran until a thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead. "Master, urgent information!"

"explain."

The Right Envoy presented a report. "We've investigated the movements of the escort agency in Shamen County on their last convoy. They were reportedly escorting several prostitutes to the provincial capital. We searched several suspicious routes to the provincial capital and stumbled upon a bone pit filled with rotting human bones. The uncorrupted clothing suggests it belongs to the Dayun Escort Agency, where Wang Laowu once worked..."

Liao Jiu's eyes were gloomy. He took the information and quickly browsed through it.

There were several sheets of paper with the time, place, and reason for discovery. They also hired a specialist to perform an autopsy to find out how and when these rotten human bones died...

The Right Envoy reported briefly, "All were fatally stabbed, both men and women, thirteen in total. Each escort had a waist badge specially made by the Dayun Escort Agency. One of them had the name Wang Daniu written on it. We also collected a small wooden calf with the word Daniu written on it. Wang Laowu's name is Wang Daniu... These things have been brought back."

After reading it, Liao Jiu remained silent for a long time.

"Send a letter to Jiang."

The right envoy was about to take the order and leave.

Liao Jiu continued, "What if the waist badge is fake, and this wooden object is also fake? I will go to Shili Town myself."

The two subordinates looked at each other.

"Let us go! Master, you have a lot to do. Such a small matter is not worth your personal trip."

Liao Jiu looked at them coldly, "Do you have a flying golden eagle?"
