Chapter 251: The Stranger's Identity Revealed
Chen Hu couldn't figure it out, and asked in confusion, "Miss Lin, where did the people our master brought go? Why is the master the only one left?"
Lin Xiaoyue explained, "The people that Brother Liang brought were guarding the Fengshou Grain Shop. We were on our way to track down the owner of the Fengshou Grain Shop when we felt that the Red Mansion brothel was more likely to be hiding people. That's why Brother Liang asked me to come back and ask you to help him. He should have already started fighting with the people inside."
Chen Hu became extremely anxious when he heard this. He asked one person to go back and find some brothers for reinforcement, and he took the rest of the people and rushed to the Honglou brothel in a hurry.
"Master is taking too much of a risk. Although he is good at martial arts, brothels are always the places with the most gangsters. If the other side has more people, the master may not be able to gain the upper hand!" Chen Hu was so worried that his tone was a little aggressive when he spoke.
Lin Xiaoyue didn't care. Anyone would be upset if this happened to them, let alone the subordinates who had always followed Liang Jingyao.
She followed Chen Hu closely and said comfortingly, "Brother Liang, don't worry. If the Red Mansion brothel is really colluding with the Harvest Grain Shop, he still has the owner of the Harvest Grain Shop in his hands."
Chen Hu was even more confused now, and said depressedly: "Just catch the boss and kill him. The shopkeeper is just a keeper, so it doesn't matter whether he is arrested or not, right? The master shouldn't take such a risk. Miss Lin, why don't you try to persuade him?"
Lin Xiaoyue patiently explained, "The people at Fengshou Grain Shop are very cunning. They refused to reveal where the shopkeeper had gone. So Brother Liang guessed that the shopkeeper had taken a secret passage to the capital to tip off the authorities. What Brother Liang cares more about is where this secret passage is."
Chen Hu finally understood his master's good intentions. If they couldn't find the secret passage, Emperor Liang's men would always be able to enter Yangming Town through it. Even if the city gate was guarded like an iron barrel, it would still be useless!
"I understand! Miss Lin, please go back first. After all, swords and knives have no eyes! If you were in there, no one would be able to do anything for you. I hope you can understand!" Chen Hu rushed to the door of the Honglou brothel and clasped his fists respectfully.
Lin Xiaoyue knew the seriousness of the matter, so she didn't make things difficult for Chen Hu. She readily agreed, "Okay! I'll go back first. You must protect Brother Liang's safety!"
Chen Hu responded: "Sure!"
Lin Xiaoyue walked for a while and looked back to see that Chen Hu had already led his men into the Honglou brothel. She found a place to wait, because instead of going back and waiting in fear, it would be better to watch here. Maybe she could be of help someday!
No one knew how much time had passed. Just when Lin Xiaoyue's legs were sore from waiting, Liang Jingyao walked out alone. The man from Fengshou Grain Shop was not following him, and even Chen Hu was not following him.
Lin Xiaoyue ran over in surprise, looked him up and down, and asked, "Brother Liang, why are you alone? Where are Chen Hu and the others? And where's that man you suspected was the owner of the Fengshou Grain Shop?"
Liang Jingyao smiled easily, holding Lin Xiaoyue's hand as they walked back, saying as they walked, "Thanks to your reminder today, otherwise I wouldn't have taken so many detours! As soon as I entered the Red Mansion brothel just now, the madam recognized the man I caught. This man is exactly as I guessed, he is the owner of the Fengshou Grain Shop, his name is Jin Yang!"
Lin Xiaoyue could tell from Liang Jingyao's tone that things were going smoothly, and she happily asked, "So what happened next? Didn't the madam want to save this man?"
Liang Jingyao replied, "Of course I wanted to save her! The madam was Jin Yang's subordinate. The entire Red Mansion brothel belonged to Jin Yang, so how could she just stand by and watch someone die? I was just trying to keep her in suspense and searched around inside. After I found some suspicious spots, I waited for Chen Hu and the others to arrive. I then threw Jin Yang to them and went straight to find the suspicious spots."
Lin Xiaoyue was curious whether the place Liang Jingyao was looking for was the same one she had been to before?
She quickly pressed on, "What's so suspicious about this? Have you found the owner of the Fengshou Grain Shop?"
Liang Jingyao replied, "The shopkeeper is definitely out of reach. He must have been in the capital for so long. However, we found something suspicious in the backyard of the Red Mansion brothel. There's a rockery there, and it doesn't look connected to the outside world, but walking along it led us to the capital, and it's where the Jianghu Order is! You've been reminding me that the Jianghu Order is related to Emperor Liang, and this time I think it's 100% true!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded. It seemed that Liang Jingyao was not wrong. She had followed the man in black to the capital in the same way before.
"That is to say, Jianghu Ling not only set up a decoy in his own place, but also here! Brother Liang, what are you going to do next? Go back and find more people to seal off this Red Mansion brothel?" Lin Xiaoyue asked with concern.
Liang Jingyao smiled and said, "Chen Hu and his men are guarding the place, so nothing will happen for now. But I will send people over there to prevent Emperor Liang from sending people through that mysterious secret passage. However, I will go see your father first; I think he's already anxiously waiting!"
Arriving outside the Jiu Laoguai's tent, Zhan Tian saw Liang Jingyao and immediately saluted and said, "Greetings, Master! Jiu Laoguai is waiting inside. You and Miss Lin can go in now."
When Liang Jingyao saw Zhan Tian, he probably guessed that the old drunkard's reason for looking for him might be related to Yangming Mountain, because Zhan Tian was stationed on Yangming Mountain. If there was nothing important on the mountain, he would definitely not come down the mountain!
Could it be that someone from the Silver Slash Guards was seriously injured?
With doubts, Liang Jingyao walked into the tent. Sure enough, there was a man lying on the bed, but his face was very unfamiliar. It seemed that someone had broken into Yangmingshan!
"Drunkard, I'm back! What's the matter that makes you look for me so urgently?" Liang Jingyao sat down opposite the Drunkard and asked.
The drunkard showed a smug look on his face, pointed at the bed, and said, "I've done a great deed this time. How do you want to reward me?"
Liang Jingyao knew that the drunkard had saved someone again. Could this person be some big shot?
He said with amusement, "You can ask for anything you want, but first, who is this person?"
The drunkard was very pleased with Liang Jingyao's straightforwardness. He took out a few badges from his pocket and said, "Look at what's written on them."
Liang Jingyao took the badge, looked it over, and said, "Yu, King? I don't think we in Dongsui Kingdom have such a king, right?"
The old wine monster nodded and said, "That's right, he is not the king of our Dongsui Kingdom. His real identity is Yu Feiyu, the king of Yumu Kingdom!"
Liang Jingyao couldn't believe it and immediately called Zhan Tian in, "Zhan Tian, I have something to ask you!"
After Zhan Tian entered the tent, he responded, "Master, do you want to ask about this strange man?"
