Quick Transmigration: My System is a Big Liar

The girls immediately swarmed around him, "Sir, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?"

"Master, Yue'er will accompany you upstairs."

"Master, it's me, Mei'er. Next time you come, please come and look for Mei'er! Don't forget Mei'er!"

Xie Qi had a dark expression, and the girls didn't dare to approach him. Gu Yu's awkward face, coupled with her strange movements, made the girls stop in their tracks.

So Hong'er and the other two rushed to Song Jingyuan's side, disregarding his wishes, and forcibly carried him up to the third floor.

Xie Qi and Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and slowly followed behind to the third floor.

I discovered that the third floor of this building and the third floor of that building were not in the same building, and there was a distance of several meters between them.

Before they could get a good look, a girl in red stood at the doorway, waving a handkerchief and calling out, "Gentlemen, come in quickly! What's so interesting outside?"

"They're here." Gu Yu winked at Xie Qi, and the two went into the room.

Inside the room, two girls sat on either side of Song Jingyuan. They were scantily clad, and half of their bodies were almost pressed against Song Jingyuan, making him blush and dodge repeatedly.

Seeing Xie Qi and the other person enter, they looked at them with pleading eyes.

Gu Yu and Xie Qi, however, gave him a helpless look.

The next moment, Gu Yu was forcibly pressed down on the stool by Hong'er, and a wine glass was brought to her lips. Hong'er half-leaned on Gu Yu and swore, "Master, sit here, Hong'er will feed you wine."

Gu Yu jumped up and rushed towards the door, saying, "I...I have a stomachache, I need to use the restroom first, you guys drink first."

"I'll go with you." Xie Qi followed him out of the room without even glancing at Song Jingyuan's mournful eyes.

Song Jingyuan wanted to follow, but the girls on either side of him held him down, making it impossible for him to move.

"Sir, let's ignore them and keep drinking."

"Yes! Sir, let's have a drink."

"Master, you can't be biased. You have to have a drink with Hong'er too."

Watching the two figures disappear, Hong'er stomped her feet in anger, and in the end, she could only approach Song Jingyuan.

On the other side, Gu Yu and Xie Qi circled around the outhouse and used their lightness skills to go up to the next building from the roof.

At the door of Lily's room in the southeast corner, there were no guards as Yang Chao had mentioned, not even the guards hidden in the shadows.

As they got closer, they discovered that bursts of laughter were coming from the room next to Baihe's room. The two held their breath and listened for a while. From the conversation inside, they realized that it was Li Nian's two guards, one in the open and one in the shadows.

After waiting for a long time, at the critical moment inside the house, Xie Qi took out a sleeping potion from his pocket and blew it in through each window.

Soon, the noise in the rooms stopped abruptly and became quiet.

It was obvious that the drug had taken effect.

Just then, Song Jingyuan arrived and stopped Gu Yu from going in, saying, "You stay outside and keep watch. Xie Qi and I will go in."

"Why are you here? Where are they?" Gu Yu asked.

“I drugged them and knocked them unconscious.” Song Jingyuan glanced at the two of them.

There was something off about their gazes, but before Gu Yu could think about it, Xie Qi and Song Jingyuan entered the room.

Xie Qi and Song Jingyuan moved quickly. A moment later, the two came out of their respective rooms at the same time and thoughtfully closed the doors behind them. Xie Qi was carrying a bundle of things in his hand.

The three exchanged a glance, then left directly from the rooftop and disappeared into the night.

It was already the hour of Yin outside. The breakfast stalls had all opened, and pedestrians were gradually appearing on the road. The three of them had to quicken their pace and hang Li Nian's head on the city gate before they were discovered.

As dawn broke, Xie Qi and his two companions returned to their lodgings. By then, chaos had broken out outside, with a large crowd of people gathered at the city gate.

At this moment, the people were both crying and laughing.

“My dear Hongjuan, the beast is finally dead. You can rest in peace now.”

"Father and Mother, your son is unfilial and cannot avenge you with his own hands."

"MoMo! If you are watching from heaven, can you see that the corrupt official is dead, murdered?"

"Hahaha, they finally got their comeuppance."

"Er Mao, I'm sorry, I didn't kill the enemy with my own hands, but he finally got his comeuppance, did you see?"

"..."

"..."

Someone in the crowd threw an egg at the heads, and then everything in the air seemed to fly towards them—rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, pebbles, shoes, dirt…

When the city lord's guards arrived, a lot of things had already piled up under the city gate. The guards were so frightened by the frenzied crowd that they dared not go forward.

Finally, the guards from the yamen arrived, drove away the people, and took the heads of Li Nian and his brother.

The four gates of Silvermoon City—east, west, south, and north—were temporarily closed. The city lord's mansion and government offices launched a full-scale manhunt for the murderer, and the murderer's portrait was plastered all over Silvermoon City.

Chu Qing also wanted to know how they obtained the portrait. After all, they had a smooth journey last night and hadn't encountered anyone.

He then sent Chu Mu and Shu Mo to join in the fun and brought back several portraits, which were clearly images of Xie Qi and the other two dressed up.

He instantly understood; he must have learned this from the madam and the girls at the brothel.

Little did anyone know that the final drawing by the artist would bear no resemblance to the real person whatsoever.

Even if the person were standing right in front of you, the guards in the yamen might not recognize you.

At dinner time, Song Jingyuan and the other two, who had slept all day, finally came out of their room. Hearing everyone's discussion, they curiously went to take a look, only to be startled and exclaimed in disgust, "What the hell is this?"

“You, Gu Yu, Xie Qi, all three are there, not one missing, it’s just that the painting is a bit abstract,” Yang Chao teased, pointing at the portrait.

It's not bad that it's painted like this; the main problem is that their appearance is too frightening. When he encountered them in the garden this morning, he was startled and didn't know how much silver he had to pay to prevent the madam from kicking them out.

Gu Yu looked at Xie Qi and Song Jingyuan with a smug expression, "This was my idea, just for this moment. You weren't willing back then, but now you've saved us a lot of unnecessary trouble. You should thank me properly."

"Thank you," Song Jingyuan said irritably. Not only did she cut his hair and make him a fake beard, but she also left him alone with the girls at Wan Hua Lou. Who should thank whom?

"If it weren't for this, how would we complete the mission? Great people don't concern themselves with trifles. Don't worry about so much," Gu Yu patted his shoulder, comforting him.

Xie Qi then added, "I saw that you were enjoying yourself, so I didn't disturb you."

Song Jingyuan pointed at Xie Qi and Gu Yu and said angrily, "You two are a bunch of bad friends. If I hadn't been quick to use the sleeping potion last night, my innocence would probably be in jeopardy."

Yang Chao sized up Song Jingyuan and said with a smile, "Don't sound so aggrieved. No matter what, you're the one who benefited!"
