There is chaos in Dengyun Tower tonight.
The actor played the wrong tune and the singer's singing turned into a shrill, piercing roar.
The guys tried to maintain order, but the guards and thugs rushed in and pinned Master Fan to the ground.
The shopkeeper sent someone to report to the police and was busy calling for a doctor. The Dengyun Tower, which had been full of laughter and a good atmosphere just a moment ago, had now become a horrific murder scene.
The officers arrived quite quickly, and Fan, Ning, and the rest of their companions were all "asked" to leave.
Only Liu Ji, at some point, stood among the crowd watching the excitement, looking at the group of noblemen being taken away by the officials, his eyes full of worry and anxiety.
It was because he was dressed so poorly that the officers didn't consider him as one of them.
It was not until the restaurant owner apologized, compensated, and dismissed all the guests that Liu Ji left alone, slowly walking under the silvery moonlight.
He did not go back to the He family directly.
Even though I knew that returning to the He family was the best option at this moment.
But he also had to take the risk of being turned back and taken away by the officials, so he bought a bowl of wontons for midnight snack and two strings of sweet and sour candied haws, and happily came to the inn where Qin Yao was.
There were two gentle knocks on the door. "My dear, please open the door."
The door opened quickly, and Qin Yao leaned lazily against the door frame with her arms folded, looking at him with a half-smile, dressed in a moon-white scholar's robe.
He was not taken away by the officers. It seems that his abilities have improved a lot.
Somehow, Liu Ji's heart tightened, as if he was being stripped naked and being seen clearly by the other party.
He smiled at her, raised the food he brought, put it down, turned back and closed the door gently.
The corners of his mouth that he had deliberately suppressed all the way finally couldn't be held back anymore and he grinned, "My dear, I'm so happy! Those two mad dogs finally got their comeuppance!"
Qin Yao, who had just returned to the inn after witnessing the whole process, was not surprised. She calmly walked to the table, picked up the food he brought, and asked curiously:
"What secret is it that made Mr. Fan so crazy?"
Hearing this, Liu Ji's bright smile froze immediately, and he glanced at Qin Yao suspiciously, "Madam, how do you know that Master Fan has gone crazy?"
Does news in the capital spread so quickly?
Qin Yao took a bite of the candied haws and said calmly, "Unfortunately, I was also in Dengyun Tower. The wine pot was placed in a very good position. Young Master Ning was caught immediately when he wanted to hit someone."
Liu Ji laughed awkwardly. He would never admit that he had deliberately moved the wine pot!
He sat down opposite Qin Yao and said, "Madam, are the candied haws delicious?"
Qin Yao raised her eyes and glanced at him, "You haven't answered the question I asked you."
Liu Ji complained, "Ouch!" "Don't ask me anymore. I'm innocent. The look in your eyes made me think I had done something extremely evil."
Qin Yao snorted coldly, suddenly dropped the candied haws in her hand, and said in a low voice: "You didn't listen to my advice at all before you left this morning!"
There's blood, and I'm afraid someone might be killed.
Once the government investigates this matter, the mastermind behind it will be exposed sooner or later.
Liu Ji thought she was blaming him for spending ten taels of silver to buy wine, but it turned out it was because of this.
He said confidently: "My lady, don't be angry. Don't you know that I, Liu Ji, listen to you the most in my life? I have naturally taken care of the tail, so don't worry."
He pushed the bowl of hot wontons in front of her and said, "Try it quickly. The wontons here are delicious. Usually they are sold out at this time. We are lucky today because everyone went to Dengyun Tower to watch the fun, so there are some left."
Qin Yao didn't move, so Liu Ji quickly scooped it to her mouth and said attentively, "Try it, it's really delicious."
Qin Yao didn't open her mouth, so Liu Ji coaxed her again. Seeing no effect, he sighed, opened his mouth wide and ate it in one bite.
Liu Ji quickly lowered his head to take a look at Qin Yao's clenched fists, and then changed his nonchalant attitude. He quickly put down the delicious wontons, sat up straight, and confessed to get leniency.
He told her in detail how he planned and implemented the plan.
This story began more than half a month ago.
At that time, he had successfully entered Guangwen Library with the help of his cake recipe. On his first day, he was verbally harassed by Ning and Fan.
The seeds of hatred were planted at that time.
Liu Ji never said that he was a gentleman, so the villain took revenge from morning to night!
That day, he began to collect information about Ning and Fan, and with the help of his junior brother Qi Xianguan, he successfully grasped the likes and dislikes of the two.
Ning's family background is slightly better than Fan's. He is arrogant and loves to be in the limelight, but he also hates others stealing his limelight, and even his brothers are no exception.
Fan looks like a decent person, but in fact, he has a heart smaller than a needle tip. He takes even casual jokes between friends seriously and never gives in, and always acts in an extreme way.
After obtaining important information, Liu Ji relied on his clever words to flatter the two men, while enduring humiliation and learning each other's weaknesses from their mouths and sowing discord between them on a daily basis.
Finally, his hard work paid off and he learned Master Fan’s biggest secret from the drunk Master Ning.
It turned out that he was the son of a concubine, and his mother was a prostitute of the lowest status. He was brought back to the mansion to be raised because his father and the mistress of the house had no children.
Fan Zhitong Ning revealed this matter.
Unfortunately, Liu Ji found out about it.
Before Qin Yao arrived at the provincial capital, he had already been thinking about how to use this secret to make Ning and Fan fight each other.
Isn't it a sign of good brotherhood that they even play with women together? Liu Ji naturally thought of the beauty in the Hongxiu Pavilion.
Coincidentally, in order to show off, Ning took him to meet the beauty.
Then, a plan came to mind.
Everything is ready, except for the money.
Liu Ji looked at Qin Yao excitedly and said, "My lady, you came at the right time. If you hadn't come, I would have been tortured by those two dogs for a long time."
After receiving the silver given by his wife last night, he left the inn this morning and immediately spent the money to pass the secret of Fan's life experience through seven or eight hands until it was delivered to the beautiful lady in Hongxiu Pavilion.
As for why he expected Ding Fan to go to Hongxiu Pavilion today, it was also his deliberate plan to lure him there.
Of course, Liu Ji didn’t have such a miraculous plan, and he couldn’t be sure that Fan would come to Dengyun Tower today.
But these prostitutes only care about money and not love, and he is sure that sooner or later they will bring it up.
So even if Fan didn't kill anyone today, the friendship between him and Ning was broken.
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, if others add fuel to the fire, the two will definitely have a conflict and start a dog-eat-dog fight.
By that time, both of them will be defeated and he will naturally not have to suffer anymore.
Scholars love reputation. These two people acted out a deep brotherly love, but they became enemies because of a prostitute.
The results of the provincial examination had not come out yet, and the academician would definitely not allow these two people to be on the list because of their bad records.
Invisibly, two more strong opponents were eliminated!
Qin Yao quietly looked at Liu Ji who was telling his story obediently, and her mood suddenly became complicated.
This Liujiacun man was notoriously reckless, and he had evolved towards an indescribable path!
