Quick transmigration to punish scumbags, have a child to inherit everything from them

Before he even went downstairs, Ling Fei saw two men in gray robes trying to force their way in, but they were surrounded by several gatekeepers from Xianle Pavilion, blocking their path.

As they went downstairs and got closer, they heard one of the men pointing at a servant's nose and cursing.

"We just came by to ask if your Xianle Pavilion has a woman named Liang Qiuli. Is it really necessary to stop us at the door?"

Ling Fei was expressionless and planned to have the servants deal with the noisy people.

But upon hearing the name "Liang Qiuli," he instantly became alert. After all, if the general cared about her, then his affairs could not be taken lightly.

Ling Fei's eyes sharpened, and he slowly stepped forward, but his tone remained calm and composed.

"Judging from your accents, you're probably not locals, are you?"

The two men had noticed Ling Fei earlier, but assumed he was just passing by. They clearly hadn't expected him to suddenly interrupt.

After a moment of surprise, they turned to look Ling Fei up and down. He was holding a sword, had a tall and straight figure, and a fierce look in his eyes. He had obviously killed people before, and his eyes instantly became scrutinizing and wary.

After all, although they were paid to do things, none of them wanted to lose their lives for it.

One of them seemed slightly flustered and shouted to try and hide his unease.

"We're nomads, what does it matter where we are! You're just running a business, why are you meddling in so many other people's business? Today we're here to find Liang Qiuli!"

Ling Fei could vaguely tell from their accents that they were from the capital, but he didn't know why they had come to Yangzhou and specifically to Xianle Pavilion to find Liang Qiuli.

We need to inform the general about this matter and let him make a decision.

Just as Ling Fei was giving his servants a look, signaling them to keep a close eye on the person so he could go and fetch the general, Lu Jingyan's deep, cold voice rang out behind him.

"You two are clearly from the capital, so what are you trying to achieve by being so secretive?"

The two men shuddered, seemingly startled by the sound. Once they recovered, one of them looked in Lu Jingyan's direction.

When the man finally saw Lu Jingyan's cold, handsome face, which also carried a chilling murderous intent, his eyes widened instantly, and he let out a weak gasp, "Big..."

However, the man seemed to realize something, and he swallowed the exclamation that was about to come out.

"We're not from the capital. Since we can't find the person we're looking for here, we'll be leaving now."

The other person also recognized Lu Jingyan's identity. Although they didn't know why he was at Xianle Pavilion, they knew that offending Lu Jingyan would likely cost them their lives.

So the two of them talked quickly as they turned and left, their steps even a little unsteady due to their panic.

But how could Lu Jingyan easily let go of someone who harbored ill intentions towards Liang Qiuli?

Moreover, the person coming from the capital at this time is very likely to be Liang Qiuli's lover who went to the capital to take the imperial examination, so he is even less likely to let him go.

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips, his eyes sharp as knives, slicing through the backs of the two figures.

"Take the man back for questioning, and make sure to find out who's behind this."

"Yes."

After receiving Lu Jingyan's instructions, Ling Fei stepped forward and stopped the two men. They instantly lost their balance and staggered to the ground, where they were quickly subdued by the guards who arrived shortly afterward.

After seeing that Ling Fei had taken the person away, Lu Jingyan stopped paying attention and turned to go upstairs.

However, when they arrived at the room, they found that Liang Qiuli was not there.
