Chapter 250 Lin Xiaoyue's Design Helps Liang Jingyao
Liang Jingyao's words not only surprised Lin Xiaoyue, but also shocked the middle-aged woman kneeling on the ground!
The middle-aged woman tried to calm herself down and said, "Sir, you have searched our grain store thoroughly. Not to mention the secret passages, even the secret letters wouldn't have escaped your eyes. Please understand!"
Liang Jingyao ignored the middle-aged woman on the ground. He stared at the man being strangled, and sneered, "Fengshou Grain Shop should be the largest grain shop in Yangming Town. Logically speaking, a shop of your size can't only have a warehouse like the backyard. So you must have another warehouse outside, and the secret passage must be hidden there, right?"
The man couldn't breathe and it was impossible for him to speak, but his panicked eyes still betrayed him!
Liang Jingyao noticed something was wrong and snatched the whip away, dragging the man out like an animal. "If you don't want to be strangled to death, follow me!"
The man had thoughts of committing suicide, but he was even more unwilling to accept that his years of planning were discovered by Liang Jingyao in just two or three moves, so he suddenly became interested again. He wanted to follow and see if Liang Jingyao had guessed the secret passage.
In addition to the man's curiosity, Lin Xiaoyue was also very curious. The secret passage she had followed the man in black through was indeed not inside the Fengshou Grain Shop, but in the Red Building brothel not far from the Fengshou Grain Shop. However, Liang Jingyao actually guessed so much just by asking questions. It was really amazing!
Lin Xiaoyue followed Liang Jingyao closely and asked, "Brother Liang, where are you planning to take him? He probably won't tell the truth. How about we take his mother with us?"
Liang Jingyao nodded and ordered the Cheetah Army behind him, "Capture everyone here, lock them up, and torture them severely! Leave ten people to guard this Fengshou grain store. No one is allowed to enter without my permission!"
The Cheetah Army responded in unison: "Yes! We obey your orders!"
Liang Jingyao continued to hold Lin Xiaoyue's hand and walked out, and the whip in his other hand never relaxed for a moment. The moment Lin Xiaoyue turned around, she felt that the man with his neck strangled looked like a dog, but unfortunately he was not a lovable pet dog!
Lin Xiaoyue leaned close to Liang Jingyao's ear and whispered, "If you don't take him back for interrogation, are you going to look for a secret passage? Are you sure you can find it?"
A smug look flashed across Liang Jingyao's face, and he said confidently, "Of course. I haven't just stayed in Yangming Mountain for so many years. I've already figured out this small town of Yangming! You must follow me closely!"
Lin Xiaoyue still didn't quite believe it. If Liang Jingyao really knew about the secret passage, why had he never walked through it? Did he say that on purpose?
After walking out of the Fengshou Grain Shop, Lin Xiaoyue clearly felt that Liang Jingyao's pace began to slow down, and he even looked back while walking. It seemed that he was afraid that the man would be strangled to death halfway, but it also seemed that he was observing the man's expression.
But the man always looked like he was about to die, and no matter where Liang Jingyao went, he didn't even bat an eyelid.
Suddenly, a voice called "Selling candied haws! Selling candied haws!" was heard not far away. Lin Xiaoyue remembered the sour and sweet taste and licked her lips unconsciously.
Seeing Lin Xiaoyue's greedy look, Liang Jingyao said jokingly, "You want to eat candied haws? I'll buy them for you!"
Lin Xiaoyue didn't want to delay Liang Jingyao's business, and just when she was about to refuse, she saw the man selling candied haws had already walked outside the Honglou brothel.
Ha, isn’t this when someone handed me a pillow just when I was dozing off?
"Well, how about you go ahead, Brother Liang, and I'll buy some candied haws and come back later?" Lin Xiaoyue took out a few coins from her sleeve.
Liang Jingyao disapproved and said, "How can that be? There's a brothel over there, a place full of people of all kinds. How can I let you go there alone? Let's go. It won't take much time."
As he spoke, Liang Jingyao followed Lin Xiaoyue towards the Red Mansion brothel.
Lin Xiaoyue stopped in front of the vendor, gave him two coins, and said, "I want two skewers!"
The vendor happily took down two strings of candied haws and placed them in Lin Xiaoyue's hands, saying, "Take these, girl!"
Lin Xiaoyue handed one of the candied haws to Liang Jingyao, and then started eating the candied haws in her hand.
"Wow! It's so delicious! Brother Liang, please try it!" Lin Xiaoyue ate the candied haws in her hand without moving.
Liang Jingyao took a bite and nodded, saying, "Not bad! Then let's go quickly. We have to go to your father's place later. If we go back late, your father will definitely complain again!"
Lin Xiaoyue covered her mouth with her hands and laughed secretly. She looked up at the plaque of the Red Mansion brothel and said, "Brother Liang, since we are here, why don't we go in and take a look? Isn't it easier to hide things in a messy place?"
Liang Jingyao's eyes flashed with light, and he praised: "Yue'er is really smart! But you are a girl, so you should wait outside. I'll go in and take a look and come out soon!"
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at the man behind Liang Jingyao and saw that the man who was pretending to be dead suddenly had a different emotion, as if he could be saved here?
Lin Xiaoyue was extremely worried by this sentiment. She disapproved and said, "If you go in alone, forget it. I'm afraid you'll be in danger. Let's go back and bring more people to search again!"
Liang Jingyao didn't want to go back. If there really was a secret passage hidden here, their actions would have been exposed long ago. If they went back and forth to search, the secret passage might have been covered up, and it would not be so easy to find!
But if he insisted on going in alone, Lin Xiaoyue would definitely not agree, so Liang Jingyao thought of a way and said, "How about this, I'll go in and look for it first, you go back and ask Chen Hu to lead the team over. This place is not far from the city gate, and it will only take a short time to go back and forth. Besides, I have a hostage in my hand now, so I won't get into trouble!"
Lin Xiaoyue understood Liang Jingyao's character, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I'll go back right away!"
Without waiting for Liang Jingyao to enter the Red Building, Lin Xiaoyue hurriedly ran to the city gate. If there weren't so many people coming and going on the street, she really wanted to use the space to fly back!
Fortunately, Chen Hu was leading the patrol today, and Lin Xiaoyue saw Chen Hu when she was halfway there.
Lin Xiaoyue couldn't wait to wave and shout, "Chen Hu, I'm here!"
Chen Hu was a little surprised. He took two quick steps forward and asked, "Miss Lin, are you calling me?"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Yes! Brother Liang has gone to the Red Mansion brothel alone to search it. You should go over and protect his safety!"
Chen Hu knew that Liang Jingyao had taken people with him when he left, so why was he the only one left to search the Honglou brothel? But based on his understanding of Lin Xiaoyue, Lin Xiaoyue would not lie!
Did something happen?
