The owner of Feicheng Pawnshop was named Liu Junyan. At that moment, he was kneeling on the ground with a look of shame on his face. He lowered his head as if thinking about where to start.
Just when the man's anger was ignited, Liu Junyan told him what had happened in the past few months.
"Pavilion Master, there is a traitor in Jingyun Pavilion."
Just as Liu Junyan finished speaking, he clearly felt the air temperature suddenly drop to freezing point, and the air seemed to be filled with icy wind that chilled him to the bone and blood.
"Traitor?" The man's tone was low and oppressive. Liu Junyan couldn't help but tremble when he heard it.
The man's face suddenly turned pale, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. When he first met Huang Zichu, he reminded him that there was a traitor in Jingyun Pavilion.
That’s right, the man wearing a silver mask standing in front of Liu Junyan was Lu Changgong who had returned.
He disguised himself when he came to see Liu Junyan. He was completely different from the person he was in the pawn shop before, and no one would connect the two together.
However, from what he said, there must be a traitor in Jingyun Pavilion.
You know, their headquarters is hidden in the mountains, halfway up the mountain. Only with someone leading the way can they take over Jingyun Pavilion without anyone noticing.
However, Jingyun Pavilion was founded by him, and the people in the pavilion were all carefully selected.
He had invested so much effort in Jingyun Pavilion that he didn't even want to recall it. Now, Liu Junyan actually told him that there was a traitor in Jingyun Pavilion?
"Yes, if there hadn't been a traitor, why wasn't anyone discovered during the 20,000-man raid? Furthermore, I'm certain the brothers were beheaded in their sleep."
"Master, our brothers were beheaded while they were sleeping! They didn't even realize it until they died; they were killed by their own people!"
Liu Junyan was already sobbing when he said this. He calmed himself down and sobbed:
"The people we deployed in the capital may also be completely eliminated. Therefore, as for the reasons why Emperor Yuande committed suicide and the crown prince succeeded to the throne, I am incompetent and have never learned any inside information."
"Moreover, the court also hung the brothers' heads on the gates of the capital for a month."
"Pavilion Master, those were brothers we lived with day and night. Anyone with blood in their veins wouldn't bear to see their unjustly killed brothers humiliated. Some people are planning to steal back their brothers' heads, but..."
Liu Junyan became more and more sad as he spoke. He choked up several times and adjusted himself repeatedly before continuing.
"But they were all ambushed and killed by the thieves."
Liu Junyan wiped away his tears and raised his head in anger. He clenched his fists and looked at Lu Changgong expectantly.
"Pavilion Master, you must stand up for the brothers who tragically died in Jingyun Pavilion! We must seek redress for the blood feud between our brothers and those corrupt officials."
Facing the insatiable rage of Liu Junyan, Lu Changgong said nothing, but his cold and icy aura and the storm gathering in his eyes seemed as if he was waiting for the east wind, expecting the biggest storm to form in the end and destroy the hypocritical new emperor.
Before Lu Changgong could say anything, Liu Junyan felt so irritated that he didn't care about the difference between high and low. He just wanted to vent.
"The tyrant emperor and his corrupt officials have gone too far in bullying the people. We at Jingyun Pavilion have never interfered in the affairs of the imperial court, and the intelligence we send out will not undermine the foundation of the Great Viet Dynasty."
"We at Jingyun Pavilion hold the fatal evidence against those treacherous ministers, but we have never used or disseminated it. Even Emperor Yuande's... we have kept it secret."
"We at Jingyun Pavilion only wanted to coexist peacefully with the imperial court and had no intention of overthrowing the Sima family. Unexpectedly, we would end up with our entire family being executed."
"Jingyun Pavilion and the imperial court have always kept their distance from each other. The imperial court has betrayed us, destroyed Jingyun Pavilion, and killed my brothers. If I don't avenge this, I, Liu Junyan, would be unworthy of being a human being."
Liu Junyan was filled with hatred, with fire burning in his eyes. Lu Changgong had no doubt that Liu Junyan was determined to avenge his brothers even at the cost of his life.
Revenge must be taken, and the reputation of Jingyun Pavilion needs to be cleared, but not now.
Lu Changgong's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he helped Liu Junyan up.
"Liu Junyan, can you contact other people?"
Liu Junyan shook his head. "There's a traitor in Jingyun Pavilion. They might be waiting for us to lose our composure, expose our base, and fall into their trap."
"Therefore, I cannot expose Fei Cheng Pawn Shop without knowing the situation clearly."
He had been suffering for several months and thought that it was over... Unexpectedly, there was light at the end of the tunnel. He saw the blue and yellow signal sent by Yunyu's right envoy last night.
He suppressed his inner excitement and sat in the pawnshop all night, fearing that he would miss the summons from Yunyu Youshi.
He quickly sent away everyone who came into the pawnshop today, until Lu Changgong and Su Sijin came in. He judged from their words and actions that the two were unusual.
Because he had never seen the true face of the Pavilion Master, he still talked to him with anticipation.
It was not until Lu Changgong accidentally revealed his sleeves that he was sure that Lu Changgong was a member of Jingyun Pavilion. He thought for a moment that perhaps it was arranged by the Right Envoy.
Knowing that the two were short of money, he handed them the silver with both hands.
After the two left, he hung up a sign saying the place was closed for rest and sat on the second floor waiting.
As expected, he really waited for the person, but to his surprise, the person who came was the Pavilion Master who had disappeared for several months.
The reason why he was sure that the person who came was the Pavilion Master was because he accidentally discovered one time that Yun Youshi was respectfully talking to a man wearing a silver mask. The difference was that the Pavilion Master was sitting in a wheelchair before, but this time he was standing straight.
In other words, the Pavilion Master's legs have been cured, he can stand, run and fly, and he no longer has to be confined to a wheelchair.
"It's good that you think so. Don't act rashly." Lu Changgong's affirmative words brought Liu Junyan back from his trance.
Lu Junyan was very happy to be affirmed by Lu Changgong.
The Pavilion Master is back, the brothers can get revenge, and there is hope for reviving Jingyun Pavilion.
"What's the situation at Golden Feather Pavilion?"
Lu Changgong suddenly thought of Jinyu Pavilion. Jingyun Pavilion, which sold intelligence, was a thorn in the eyes of the imperial court. How could Jinyu Pavilion, which took people's heads at will, escape disaster?
"To the Pavilion Master, the imperial court sent 50,000 imperial guards that same night to wipe out the Golden Feather Pavilion's headquarters, but by the time the guards arrived, the Golden Feather Pavilion was already deserted."
"Oh? The place is deserted?"
This is interesting. The Jingyun Pavilion's lair was destroyed, but the Jinyu Pavilion was deserted. On the same day, they were also raided by the imperial guards, but the outcomes were so different?
"Indeed, there is clearly a traitor within the Golden Feather Pavilion. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to find their lair so accurately. However, it's as if they knew about the court's actions in advance and left someone in the building."
The most amazing thing is that Jinyu Pavilion destroyed all the documents in a short period of time, leaving only an empty house.
Compared with Jingyun Pavilion, Jinyu Pavilion can be built at any time as long as people are there.
How could Jingyun Pavilion lose so many brothers? This is simply unbelievable to outsiders.
Is Jingyun Pavilion so low?
