The Demon Concubine of God

Chu Yanqiu sat back in his chair and looked at the troupe members who were being escorted over.

Chi He bowed and said, "Sir, the assassin has not been caught. The seat behind the screen is for the next actor who is going to perform on stage. We have inquired about it. The shopkeeper of the troupe said that it was originally their martial artist Ma Lingdang who should have prepared, but Miss Xifeng from Yixianglou insisted on performing on stage. The shopkeeper agreed because he wanted to take advantage of your wealth and fortune. But the maidservant beside her also dressed up. After Miss Xifeng went on stage, she drove the martial artist Ma Lingdang away and sat behind the screen herself. The shopkeeper thought that this might have been arranged by Miss Xifeng, so he didn't ask about it and let her do as she pleased."

Chu Yanqiu looked at the troupe owner who was already kneeling on the ground and asked, "Is that so?"

The shopkeeper quickly agreed, "Yes, yes... that's what happened. If you don't believe me, you can ask Miss Xifeng."

Chu Yanqiu looked at Miss Xifeng again.

Miss Xifeng looked horrified and quickly bowed, saying, "I... I didn't know about this. My maid didn't tell me that she would also be performing on stage. Before I went on stage, my maid didn't change her clothes and put on makeup like an actress. I didn't know anything about this. Please investigate it carefully. If it was really my maid who did it, you can deal with it as you wish. But I am wrongly accused. I hope you can investigate it."

Chu Yanqiu said: "Oh! So Miss Xifeng, you are wronged?"

Miss Xifeng nodded hurriedly.

Chu Yanqiu sneered, "Miss Xifeng is one of the most popular girls in Yixianglou. There are so many nobles who want to spend money on you, but you don't want to see any of them. Instead, you go to the opera troupe's territory and learn that stupid opera. This doesn't make sense."

After hearing what was said, Miss Xifeng looked at Chu Yanqiu with spring in her almond eyes.

Shen Wen, who was sitting next to him, smiled and said, "I know about this, and it's not Miss Xifeng's fault. Tonight, Mother Cuihong has instructed the famous girls on the third floor to only perform what they are not good at, and not what they are good at, just to attract attention and attract some unconventional customers. But... I didn't expect that Miss Xifeng is still very skilled in opera. When she starts singing like this, it really makes people's eyes light up!"

Shen Wen looked at Miss Xifeng with admiration.

Miss Xifeng looked at Shen Wen with gratitude, her eyes filled with tears, which made people feel pity.

Chu Yanqiu coughed lightly, stroked the back of Shen Wen's hand with his big hand, and asked, "What do you think?"

Shen Wen said, "The person may be pretending to be someone else. Let's have someone search for her. Maybe we can find another maid. The hidden arrow is made of good material. We can start from this aspect."

Chu Yanqiu leaned towards Shen Wen lovingly and smiled, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Shen Wen held his hand back, licked his fingers with the tip of his tongue, and then put it down and said, "You check here, I'm going downstairs. I want to see that old man, Doctor Sun. You know I finally invited someone to watch a play. How can he be reluctant? I'm going to call him back."

Chu Yanqiu felt itchy inside after being licked like a cat by her just now, and he agreed to her without thinking and let her go downstairs.

Knowing that the monster had gone downstairs, Chu Yanqiu was still recalling the lick just now.

When Shen Wen reached the second floor, a servant was walking with his head down, holding his cheek, and he almost bumped into Shen Wen. Shen Wen reminded him, and he looked up at Shen Wen, and said to Shen Wen with a bitter smile: "Oh! Miss Shen, I finally found you. You don't know that Mr. Wei in the No. 1 gambling room has a bad temper. He didn't pass the three levels you set, and he slapped me in the face right away. I didn't dare to offend him! He insisted that there was a loophole in the game we made, and it was our fault in Yixianglou."

Shen Wen said: "Then you didn't let him try it again?"

The servant said even more bitterly, "I told you, but Master Wei slapped me again and insisted that I call you over. When I hesitated for a moment, he slapped me twice more. It made me see stars and my head was all gooey."

Shen Wen asked: "What about now?"

The servant said, "Fortunately, Mr. Chunyu came to the rescue. The three of them discussed it and went back to break through again."

Shen Wen said: "I didn't expect that this Mr. Wei would actually listen to Mr. Chunyu."

The servant asked, "Girl, what if those three gentlemen fail to pass the level the second time? I'm scared of them. If I don't let them pass, they'll want to kill me!"

Shen Wen smiled and patted the servant's shoulder, saying, "No, I guess he was drunk when he came out the second time, so he didn't have the chance to kill you."

The servant scratched his head and said, "Miss, are you so sure? Although there is a drinking level in the game, where you have to drink 18 bowls in one go... but Master Wei is a man who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. I'm afraid that little alcohol won't make him drunk."

Shen Wen smiled and said, "Generally speaking, he won't get drunk, but the wine I found may not. Don't worry, even if he doesn't get drunk the second time, there is still a third time, right? You can just let him continue to pass the level and that's it."

The servant nodded and smiled, "That makes sense... Hey... That makes sense."

The three levels designed by Shen Wen are very ordinary for modern people. It is just to play a game of Candy Crush first, and then hide the skills for the second level in the game. The second level requires assembling a modern version of a crossbow. Of course, the crossbow is an advanced version. Those who are familiar with it will be able to use it. Those who have never touched it can only familiarize themselves with it a few times and figure out the structure before assembling it. This level is a bit difficult for ancient people, but she did not design it for ancient people like Wei Shigang. The third level requires drinking 18 bowls of strong liquor in a row, and then shooting at a hidden target with the crossbow assembled by herself. The hidden target is also a modern military theme, so for someone like Wei Shigang, I can only say that I am sorry. There are also the fourth and fifth levels, which are closely related to her military career in her previous life. Those who have such experience will pass the level, but those who don’t have her experience must be talented to pass it.

but?

Shen Wen asked the servant, "Mr. Chunyu also failed the test? How do you think he can drink?"

The servant replied, "Are you talking about Mr. Chunyu? He was very excited at the first level, saying it was fun. He didn't use his brain as well as Mr. Wei at the second level, not to mention the third level. He almost died from drinking those 18 bowls of wine, and he drank half of the last few bowls and spilled half. Speaking of this, I remind you, young lady, that cheating in drinking should be done by setting rules, otherwise how can everyone follow suit? Wouldn't that be a waste of the good wine you worked so hard to find?"

Shen Wen smiled and said, "You guys should adapt to the situation. The rules are set by people, so just do as you see fit."

After finishing his business, the servant said goodbye and went back.

Shen Wen also turned around and went downstairs.

At this time, there was a commotion on the third floor stairs, and two slaves carried a sleeping girl slowly downstairs.

Shen Wen recognized at a glance that the girl who fainted was the maidservant beside Miss Xifeng.

The maid was wearing her usual clothes and her face was clean, without any theatrical makeup.

Shen Wen asked the maidservant who was holding the man, "Where did she find it? Is she going to see a doctor?"

The little maid replied, "Yes, in reply to Miss Shen, we found her in my daughter's washroom. She was knocked unconscious and thrown there."

Shen Wen made way and asked them to go ahead.

In just that instant, Shen Wen noticed a piece of clothing flashing at the corner of the stairs. It was a black cloak. Shen Wen turned around and went up the stairs without hesitation, but the man had no intention of hiding. He stood on the stairs and stretched out his finger, making a hushing gesture.

The man was wearing a black robe and a mask. The only things that could be seen were his shiny bun and a hint of paleness on his neck.

Shen Wen said: "Who are you?"

The man said, "I will definitely kill the people from the three houses. I will say hello to the young lady."

After saying that, he took off the sleeve arrow that shot Chu Yanqiu and gave it to Shen Wen.

Only then did Shen Wen realize that she, who had been the headmaster for two days, was only the chief headmaster and could not influence the people in the three houses.

The man's movements were strange, and he came and went in Yixiang Tower without a trace. His eye-catching attire did not alarm anyone.

Shen Wen put the matter aside and hurried downstairs.

Before I even finished walking up the stairs to the first floor, I heard a series of women screaming, "Someone's been murdered... Someone come quickly! Someone's been murdered..."

Shen Wen quickened his pace and rushed out.

She looked towards where the crowd was moving, pushed aside the frightened pedestrians who were blocking her way, and came to the scene of the incident, where she saw a man lying in a pool of blood.

The man was wearing a navy blue straight robe and lying face down. At first glance, Shen Wen was so scared that he thought it was the old man, Doctor Sun.

Without bothering to examine the body, she stood up and looked around with wide eyes.

Then he saw that Chu Yanqiu's hidden guards and secret guards had already taken action, and like Shen Wen, they were searching around for the real culprit.

Shen Wen didn't care about those people and only wanted to find the real murderer.

But she completed one step.

But an old man shouted, "There he is, catch him."

Then the master with great martial arts skills rushed over and started fighting with a man.

Shen Wen wanted to rush over, but he knocked down a weak girl with one step. The girl was also unlucky. The next moment, she was stepped on by the people who were fleeing next to her. Shen Wen hurriedly pulled her up.

In this time difference, several more people gathered around the man, all of them were Chu Yanqiu's best men.
