Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 85 Lotus Tower 22

After a trip to Shishou Village, I didn't find the Lord of Huangquan Mansion, but I was sure that the Lord of Huangquan Mansion was still alive and he escaped from Shishou Village successfully.

Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing naturally continued to search, but Di Feisheng was anxious to eliminate the Golden Yuan League first, so when Jiao Liqiao came with his men, he pretended to have lost his memory and was injured, and was taken back by Jiao Liqiao.

Jiang Xinxin listened to Li Lianhua, Fang Duobing and Su Xiaoyong discussing where the Lord of Huangquan Mansion might go, and couldn't help but remind them: "Even if we know where the Lord of Huangquan Mansion went, we don't have to go there. After all, our goal has always been to lure out the top leaders of Wansheng Dao, not the so-called jade piece."

Li Lianhua couldn't help but hold her breath after hearing this, but she immediately smiled and said, "Of course I still remember our purpose, but since I went to Shishou Village, I believe more and more what you said before. I'm afraid Fang Xiaobao and I have some bad luck. No matter where we go, we will always encounter cases."

Su Xiaoyong couldn't help laughing, but seeing Fang Duobing's hateful eyes, he quickly suppressed his laughter, "Then why don't we go and take a look? If there is any case, we can also help."

Fang Duobing could not stand Su Xiaoyong's blatant ridicule. After taking a deep breath, he said with a smile, "I think the Lord of Huangquan Mansion might have been injured again in Shishou Village. After being injured again, he must need a safer place where Baichuan Academy will not be involved!"

Li Lianhua pointed at the map that Su Xiaoyong brought over and said, "Then the only place that meets the requirements is probably this small remote city."

"This small remote town has hot springs and produces jade, but an accident happened a few years ago, so the flow of people has dropped significantly, and some weird things have also been reported."

This time Su Xiaoyong strongly requested to join in, but although Xiaoyuan City seemed safer than Shishou Village, he actually had a hunch that they would soon meet the top leaders of Wansheng Dao, so if Su Xiaoyong followed them, it would be even more dangerous.

But Su Xiaoyong tried his best to fight for himself: "My kung fu is not bad. Of course, it is a bit difficult to fight against someone like Jiao Liqiao, but there are not many people in the world who are better than Jiao Liqiao in martial arts. Can we meet all of them in one trip to Xiaoyuan City?"

Su Xiaoyong was very good at reading people's faces. She knew that asking Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing for help would probably not be of much use, so she turned directly to Jiang Xinxin: "Hey, Sister Jiang, you see, I have my grandfather behind me, and I can provide you with a lot of information at any time!"

"Besides, Sister Jiang, wouldn't you feel lonely walking along the road alone as a girl? I can also chat with Sister Jiang or something, which will definitely be helpful."

Jiang Xinxin could see that Su Xiaoyong was just a rookie and yearned for the excitement of the martial arts world. She was already somewhat hesitant and was just about to persuade him a few more times when she heard Li Lianhua agree to let Su Xiaoyong go to Xiaoyuan City together.

Xiaoyuan City was indeed located in a remote area. The four of them carried the Lotus Tower and walked for more than a month before they finally saw the city gate. They did not see many caravans coming and going along the way. After entering the city, they heard people talking about something like "the King of Hell's wedding."

Fang Duobing took the initiative to inquire about it, and only then did he know that there had been a sudden incident of the King of Hell marrying a wife in the city in recent years. All the young girls in the city hurried to marry outside the city, and those who could not afford to marry outside the city were sent to their relatives' homes as much as possible when they reached the marriageable age for temporary shelter. But even so, the incident of the King of Hell marrying a wife still happened every once in a while.

But Jiang Xinxin soon discovered the problem: "If you say there is a real Hades in this world, then I definitely don't believe it. The person behind this is either a martial arts master who can accurately find the hiding place of the target bride without alerting anyone in advance; or, this so-called Hades is not just one person, but multiple people cooperating with each other."

As someone who has enjoyed the title of the best in the world, Li Lianhua agrees that there must be more than one person involved. "Moreover, it is very likely that they came and went without a trace through the tunnels left by the underground jade mining."

This was the first time that Su Xiaoyong was seriously involved in such an event. After hearing Jiang Xinxin and Li Lianhua mention this, she happily said, "Then we just need to find someone to ask these brides what happened before they were taken away, and we can find the murderer, right?"

The waiter who happened to be serving food at Ali heard Su Xiaoyong talking about the King of Hell getting married, and immediately introduced it to everyone: "Did the four guests pass by a medium-sized steamed bun shop when they entered the city?"

Fang Duobing nodded, and the waiter continued, "The shop was opened by a mother and son. The son is called Wang Bashi, and he stutters, but I think he is a talented person. If you want to find someone who can notice the situation of the bride's family, Wang Bashi is definitely the right person."

The waiter was not talking nonsense, but he really felt that Wang Basi must know some inside information. For a period of time, he saw Wang Basi often running to the suburbs, and he also saw Wang Basi set up a tomb in the suburbs, so he was sure that Wang Basi really knew something that others didn't know.

However, he was somewhat timid, fearing that asking Wang Bashi for information would anger the King of Hell. But he also wanted the city to return to the way he was familiar with it before, so he eavesdropped for a long time and finally confirmed that the two extraordinary men and two women in front of him might really be able to investigate what was going on with the King of Hell's marriage.

After dinner, Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing went to look for Wang Basi. Li Lianhua happened to see Wang Basi's mother, Aunt Wang, who had sprained her ankle, so she helped her out. Then she found out that this Aunt Wang was actually Wang Basi's mother. This was just right, so Li Lianhua didn't hesitate to ask Aunt Wang about the King of Hell's marriage. After initially building up some trust, she revealed a little bit of the news that they were here to investigate the King of Hell.

Fang Duobing was also very good at cooperating with Li Lianhua. He revealed his identity as a detective from Baichuanyuan without leaving a trace. He also pretended to complain that the people sent by the King of Hell to get married did not get any results because they did not meet detective Fang.

"It would be great if we could find out the whereabouts of those brides who were taken away, or find out what they had in common before they were taken away, such as who they met, where they went, etc."

Wang Bashi was indeed secretly paying attention to the conversation between Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing. Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing had already learned from Aunt Wang that as long as the girls were not in the city, they would be safe. The King of Hell would not choose brides that would go outside the city, otherwise they would bring disaster to Xiaoyuan City.
