I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded
Chapter 213 Lotus Tower (39)
He gestured to Wang Hu to open the dart box. Wang Hu hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward to open the box.
With a cry of surprise, everyone looked closely and saw a human head in the dart box!
The head had eyes wide open, his face was as pale as paper, his hair was disheveled, and covered in blood, looking extremely scary.
"This... this is..." Wang Hu was so scared that he sat down on the ground, his face paler than the man's head.
Li Xiangyi recognized the head and said in a deep voice, "It seems that Weiyuan Escort Agency has accepted a private escort this time, and someone has died."
When everyone heard this, they all talked about it and speculated about the inside story.
"There is another box, open it and take a look." Fang Duobing said, pointing to another box.
Wang Hu quickly shook his head: "No, no, this is a customer's dart, we can't open it casually."
"It's already this time, and you're still concerned with these rules!" Fang Duobing said, and was about to step forward to open the box.
"Wait." Li Xiangyi stopped him, "Let me do it."
He carefully opened another escort box and saw a female corpse lying inside. It was Yu Qiushuang, the sister of the Lord of Yucheng.
There were many scars on Yu Qiushuang's body, obviously she was murdered.
"What...what is going on?" Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene.
"It seems that the water in Yucheng is deeper than we imagined." Li Xiangyi sighed and said.
At this moment, the mayor of Yucheng arrived at Xiaomian Inn with a group of people.
"Lord City Lord, why are you here?" The innkeeper hurriedly came forward to greet him.
"Hmph, if I don't come again, you will tear down my Jade City!" said the Lord of Jade City with a cold snort.
He saw the corpses and heads on the ground, and his face became even gloomier.
"Come here, arrest everyone here and put them in jail!" Lord Yucheng waved his hand and gave the order.
"Lord City Lord, this... this is none of our business!" The innkeeper begged for mercy.
"Yes, Lord Mayor, we are all good citizens!" Others also echoed.
"Humph, whether he's a good citizen or not, we'll find out once we're in jail!" Jade City Lord said coldly, "Take him away!"
In this way, all the people in Xiaomian Inn, including Li Xiangyi, Fang Duobing, Qiao Wanwan, Li'er, Wangfu, and the people from Weiyuan Escort Agency, were imprisoned in Yucheng Prison.
In the dark and damp dungeon, the sound of chains clashing and the prisoners' wails intertwined to form a creepy symphony.
The faces of all the people who were imprisoned were filled with anger and unwillingness. They were caught off guard by this sudden disaster, and the anger in their hearts was like a volcano that could erupt at any time.
Fang Duobing was young and full of vigor. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the exertion. He roared indignantly, "Why are you arresting us? We haven't broken any laws! That Jade City Lord is simply lawless!"
The innkeeper had a bitter look on his face. He kept rubbing his hands and muttering, "I've been running this inn for decades and nothing like this has ever happened before. Now my reputation is ruined! How am I going to do business in the future?"
Wang Hu, the escort agency's porter, no longer had his previous arrogance. He huddled in a corner, his eyes filled with fear.
He whispered, "I'm just an errand boy. This has nothing to do with me! I have parents and children to take care of. I can't just be locked up here like this!"
Li'er leaned against Wangfu tightly, her body trembling slightly, obviously frightened. She said in a tearful voice, "Wangfu, I'm scared... When can we get out?"
Qiao Wanwan gently patted Li'er's back and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Li'er, we are here. We will find a way to get out."
At this time, a burly man, who was an escort from the Weiyuan Escort Agency, shouted with his eyes wide open, "Who the heck is Yu Chengzhu? He dared to arrest someone from our Weiyuan Escort Agency. When I get out, I'll make sure he's in trouble!"
"That's right! Our Weiyuan Escort Agency is not to be trifled with!" another escort echoed.
"Everyone, be quiet!" Although Li Xiangyi's voice was not loud, it had a convincing power.
He looked around at everyone in the cell and said slowly, "Now is not the time to argue. We have to figure out what is going on so we can find a way out."
"Huahua, you're right, we need to calm down." Qiao Wanwan also said.
Although Fang Duobing was still indignant, he knew that now was not the time to act on impulse. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
In a corner of the dungeon, Li Xiangyi hugged Qiao Wanwan tightly, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of worry.
Just now, in the chaos, Qiao Wanwan had used her Qi to protect Wangfu, which made Li Xiangyi's heart jump to his throat. He knew that the green tea poison in Qiao Wanwan's body had not been completely eliminated. If she used her Qi, the poison would flare up, with disastrous consequences.
"Lolo, how are you?" There was a slight tremor in Li Xiangyi's voice. He gently stroked Qiao Wanwan's cheek, his eyes full of concern.
Qiao Wanwan's face was pale, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead. She suppressed the discomfort in her body, gave Li Xiangyi a weak smile, and said softly, "Huahua, don't worry, I'm fine."
Li Xiangyi knew that Qiao Wanwan was just holding on, and he hugged her tighter out of heartache.
He whispered, "Lolo, let me suppress the poison for you. Although there are many people here, the situation is urgent and we can't take care of so many things."
Qiao Wanwan shook her head. She held Li Xiangyi's hand tightly and said, "No, Huahua, there are too many people here. If your identity is discovered, it will be dangerous for you. I can still hold on, don't worry."
Li Xiangyi wanted to say something else, but Fang Duobing came over. Seeing Qiao Wanwan's pale face, he asked with concern, "Sister Luo, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Qiao Wanwan forced a smile and said, "I'm fine. I'm just sick. Don't worry."
Fang Duobing didn't believe it. He turned to look at Li Xiangyi and asked, "Li Lianhua, what happened to Sister Luo? Why did she vomit blood just now? Why can't she use her true energy?"
Li Xiangyi looked at Fang Duobing's eyes that were full of doubt and concern. Some things could not be hidden anymore.
He sighed and was about to explain when he was interrupted by the sound of footsteps.
With a "clang", the iron door of the dungeon was opened and several jailers walked in, with impatient looks on their faces.
"Everyone, come out!" a jailer shouted gruffly. "The mayor's wife is back and wants to interrogate you!"
Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and followed the jailer out of the dungeon.
