“Open the door!!”
The rough voice sounded at the door, and Xi Niang was distressed and embarrassed to comfort
"Sir, you really can't do this."
"Our Huaixiang Pavilion is not a place where you can just barge in. It's difficult for us to deal with you if you do this..."
"What's so difficult?"
The officer's voice was harsh, and he showed no mercy even to a beauty like Lady Xi, pounding the door twice.
"Come out quickly! The Shangshu's token is here. Who dares to stop me?"
"Mr. Lin's body is missing! It must be you, a woman, who did it! Anyone who dares to stop you is an accomplice!"
"Even you, Huaixiang Pavilion, don't have the ability to bear this crime!"
As soon as An Yi pushed Gu Qingsheng into the cabinet, her face stiffened when she heard these words.
Lin Song’s body is missing?
Zheng Xueyi, who was hiding under the bed, suddenly widened her eyes.
Is Lin Song really dead?
So who did he see that night?
Just as he stepped onto the cabinet, seeing An Yi's hesitation, Gu Qingsheng pursed his lips and winked at Zheng Xueyi under the bed.
She hid in the closet, and as the door closed, the door was broken into!
A large number of officers and soldiers rushed in, all with ferocious looks on their faces, their hands on their scabbards, looking around with wide-open eyes.
In the room, only An Yi was standing in front of the cabinet with a pale and helpless look on his face.
Ignoring An Yi's words, the officer glared at Lady Xi.
"Didn't you say there was a VIP in this room?"
Lady Xi was also unusually angry. She had her pipe on her waist. Although she didn't know where Gu Qingsheng had gone, the rudeness of these people caught her attention.
"Regardless of whether there are VIPs or not, you adults are being too rude. There is no reason for me to force my way into Huaixiang Pavilion."
She had already spoken a lot to these people in a gentle tone, but seeing that they were actually trying to push their limits, she also spoke more harshly.
However, these officials usually worked under the Shangshu, so they naturally did not take it seriously when they had never come into contact with Huaixiang Pavilion.
"It's just a brothel, what's the point of showing off."
The leader spat, and Lady Xi was about to lose her temper when An Yi consoled her.
"etc."
Walking up to Lady Xi, An Yi shook his head at her and asked the officer:
"I've heard everything you've just said. Mr. Lin's body disappearing has nothing to do with me. Besides, even though we knew each other, we were just friends. There's no reason to hide his body."
Even so, An Yi's thoughts were very clear. He said everything that was in his mind, which actually choked the leading officer.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
The officer waved his hand and several people came forward to capture An Yi. Just as Madam Xi was about to stand in front of An Yi, a woman's fierce roar suddenly came from under the couch behind her.
"Let's see who dares!"
Zheng Xueyi crawled out from under the couch and blocked the white dew under the couch.
She was dressed in red and stood upright, not showing any fear in the face of so many people.
"Miss Zheng, why did you come out?!"
Anyi never expected Zheng Xueyi to come out.
“Who are you?!”
The officer shouted and drew his sword towards Zheng Xueyi alertly. The other officers also turned their attention to Zheng Xueyi.
While everyone's attention was not on An Yi, Madam Xi took An Yi, opened the door and ran out!
“Don’t run!”
When the officer saw An Yi running away, he immediately led his men to chase him. Unexpectedly, as soon as they reached the door, several flying knives flew past their faces!
It was nailed to the door in an instant!
The silver blade was shining, and Zheng Xueyi had not yet thrown all the flying knives in her hand. She had a fierce aura.
"Anyone who dares to catch up will die!"
The war is about to break out!
Zheng Xueyi was able to face so many officers alone without being at a disadvantage.
Bai Lu, who was lying under the couch, hugged her head tightly, trying not to make any sound. At the same time, she looked at the cabinet beside her with worry in her eyes.
The sound of swords was sharp and cold, and the weapons collided with each other, making a very loud sound.
Gu Qingsheng was holding the cabinet door in the closet, listening to the terrifying sounds coming from outside and feeling a little worried.
An Yi...
He pulled An Yi and ran to the street. When he rushed out of the gate, the officers guarding the door were stunned and immediately chased after him!
"Hurry up! In front! They're running away!"
It was already evening and there were few people on the street, but the figure of Madam Xi running with An Yi was still very eye-catching. Before those people on the street could say anything, a group of police officers caught up and arrested those passers-by.
"Xi...Empress Xi..."
An Yi was not feeling well to begin with and usually avoided activities. Now after running like this, he was out of breath after a while.
"Or...or...Huh..."
Her steps were a little staggering, and her strides were gradually getting smaller, until she felt something heavy behind her. Madam Xi turned around and saw An Yi with a flushed face and sweat on his forehead. She was stunned and thought of the current situation.
She paused, patted An Yi's back, her face full of worry. The officers and soldiers behind her were about to catch up. With a grit of her teeth, Madam Xi made a decision in her heart.
He suddenly stood up, pulled An Yi up and pushed her into the dark alley next to him!
Madam Xi threw the white rag covering the pile of firewood on herself, so that the officers behind her would not know how many people were inside.
She glanced into the alley and made a hushing gesture to An Yi. Madam Xi turned around and walked away without stopping. Her back was filled with fragrance as she ran away.
"Xi..."
An Yi was stunned. He knelt on the ground and was about to get up, but his legs were too weak, so he could only stretch out his hand and weakly grab Madam Xi.
When the officers ran past the entrance of the alley, they did not look around, and no one noticed the shadow in the dark alley.
The bustle faded away, and An Yi sat in the alley, breathing heavily. When the setting sun and black mist appeared in the sky, she had no energy to move.
It was not until the middle of the night that An Yi slowly straightened her back. All that appeared in her mind was the resolute figure of Empress Xi.
She supported herself on the ground with her hands. Although it was too late, she still wanted to catch up. Sweat kept coming out of her head. She took a deep breath. When she was about to exert force, a pair of clear and slow footsteps came in.
His heart suddenly became nervous, An Yi tightened his fingers, slowly raised his eyes, and saw a pair of gilded white gold boots.
The boots were inlaid with two very beautiful emerald green agates. She slowly raised her eyes, her silver-white crescent-shaped gown swaying in the wind, and her white fingers holding an oil-colored umbrella handle, with a hint of paleness.
And continue upwards...
An Yi's throat tightened.
The man was bathing in the moonlight, holding a silver paper umbrella in his hand, his eyes and brows like stars were slightly closed, but he felt a butterfly flying in front of his eyes.
His cherry-red lips curled up slightly on his plain jaw.
