Dongdu Pavilion Case Record

The White Lady of Danfeng in Xifang also swayed from side to side on the bow deck with bursts of cheers, greeting the guests from all sides.She is skilled and courageous, stepping on the small part of the bow is like walking on the ground, and the whole flower boat also sways left and right in accordance with her rhythm, like a tumbler.

Wen Tao stared at the flower boat swaying from side to side, and the candles inside also flickered. He suddenly shouted: "No, it's dangerous!"

Tang Wuyi followed Wen Tao's gaze, and sure enough, several candles in the flower boat had been overturned and caught fire.Because the flower boat was full of inflammable things such as candles, silks and satins, after a while, the flower boat was all on fire, and the tongue of fire spit out letters, making a beeping sound.Because the flower boat was still moving, it would cause a bigger fire if it hit the flowers, trees or pavilions on the shore. Therefore, both the Leban in the middle of the lake and the guests around the lake began to call for help and run away.Especially the nobles of Lingfeng Pavilion, who originally had a good view, saw that they were the closest to the burning fireboat. The princes, officials and their servants in the pavilion were all retreating in a panic.

"Miss Xifang is still on board!" Wen Tao said.One side is going to the center of the lake.

I saw that the flower boat had been burned to the sky, and the smoke was everywhere, so I couldn't tell where the lady of Xifang was.The surrounding guests were calling and fleeing, creating a chaotic sound.

Tang Wuyi said: "It's too dangerous to go into the water now. Let's go to Lingfeng Pavilion. The terrain is high there, and it's close to the flower boat. You can also try to put out the fire."

The two of them walked quickly to Lingfeng Pavilion together, and met King Qi and Cui Dai who came down in a hurry.King Qi seemed a little drunk, and walked staggeringly, relying on Cui Dai and a few guards to pull him.Seeing them, Cui Dai said: "Why are you coming here? Run quickly, the flower boat is about to crash into Lingfeng Pavilion!"

Tang Wuyi didn't answer, and made a sideways bow to let them leave, while he and Wen Tao went upstairs against the flow of people.

When the two went up, there was almost no one in the pavilion.The field of view here is wide, and it is true that the burning flower boat is coming here at a glance.But probably the ship has almost burned, the fire has become smaller, the hull has been damaged, the entire cabin is almost burned, and the hull is gradually sinking, so it doesn't float towards Lingfeng Pavilion as quickly as before.

The two looked at each other, knowing that there was more than good luck.There were basically only a few planks of the burned ship still burning, and there were no people at all.

"Perhaps the lady from Xifang dived just now?" Wen Tao said.

The two took a closer look at the lake. Except for a few burning planks, there were no calls for help or figures.

Tang Wuyi shook his head at him: "In such a big fire, you will usually die of suffocation, and then sink into the water when the flower boat sinks. Maybe she jumped into the water at the first time, but this lake is so big, if you are alive, you should die." I could see her calling for help..."

Wen Tao looked at the lake and pondered. At this moment, even the fires on the few boat planks were gradually extinguished, and there were only a few boat planks and driftwood on the whole lake.

The guests had almost dispersed, and the Le Ban on the small island in the middle of the lake had been calling for help for a long time. At this moment, Vice-Master Jiang of Dongfang transferred a flower boat from another place in the garden. The island's musicians were carried back to shore.

Wen Tao and Tang Wuyi waited on the shore where the flower boat docked, and when Jiang Mei landed and saw off the musicians, Tang Wuyi hurriedly said: "Master Jiang, there is news about the oiran lady of Xifang. ?”

Jiang Mei's eyes darkened, and he shook his head.She had obviously experienced a lot of shock and panic just now, and now her face was heavy and she was a little dazed: "How could such a thing happen? Why did it happen in our Dongfang..." When she finished speaking, she seemed to be unable to hold on anymore.

Tang Wuyi hurriedly said: "Master Jiang must be busy with a lot of things tonight, so I won't bother you. If there is any news about the lady in Xifang, please inform Tang in time. Our Dongdu Pavilion may be able to help. .”

Vice Fangzhu Jiang seems to have remembered that Tang Wuyi in front of him is the owner of Dongdu Pavilion. If there are suspicious cases in Jianghu, Dongdu Pavilion can take action to find out.

She blessed and said: "Thank you, Pavilion Master Tang. It's too busy tonight, and the lady of Xifang is currently missing, so it's hard to say anything. After we have a good inventory tonight, we will try our best to find the lady of Xifang, and come to bother Pavilion Master Tang tomorrow."

"Well," Tang Wuyi nodded, paused for a while and said, "I'm afraid I need to find someone to fish it in the lake."

Jiang Mei showed grief when she heard the words, she nodded and said: "Miss Xifang is a guest after all, no matter whether she lives or dies, she must find her."

It was inconvenient for Tang Wuyi to stay for a long time, so he told Jiang Mei the inn where they stayed and went back with Wen Tao.

It was night now, and the good mood of the two of them was gone. They bought a few jugs of wine and drank them sullenly in the room.

Wen Tao's face turned red when he drank, his eyes were dull at the moment, he was sitting in front of the desk, holding himself with his hands, as if he was thinking.

Tang Wuyi also drank a lot, but he has always been a good drinker. Now he put his feet on the desk as he usually relaxes, and said in a deep thought, "Taotao, what do you think of what happened tonight?"

Wen Tao was silent for a while and said, "It looks like an accident."

"You don't seem to agree." Tang Wuyi looked at him sideways and said.

Wen Tao drank the wine and pouted, "I just feel weird, I can't explain it." He tapped his head with his hand, "What's wrong?"

"Hey, don't hit your head, your head is precious." Tang Wuyi hurriedly took Wen Tao's hand off his head.

Wen Tao continued to talk nonsense: "Why is there a boat? Why did it catch fire at that time? Why did it catch fire during the last performance?"

Tang Wuyi ignored him, but he followed what Wen Tao said and focused on the boat and fire.

The boat belongs to Dongfang.The last one to use the flower boat was the lady of Xifang.Missing is also the lady of Xifang.In other words, it is Niangzi Xifang who has died with a high probability.

For a moment, Tang Wuyi thought that the lady from Xifang was slightly better than the lady from Dongfang in the literary examination, which might be the motive.But in a flash, the flower boat was on fire, the entire Jin Garden in Dongfang was in chaos, and so many people with high reputations in officialdom and martial arts had lingering fears tonight, it was definitely not a good thing for Dongfang.After the big fire tonight, this year's oiran system has been destroyed, and all the hard work that Dong Fang has put into this year's oiran system has been wasted.

Is it really just an accident?

Tang Wuyi pondered for a while but failed, and in a blink of an eye saw Wen Tao fell asleep lying on the table again.He smiled and shook his head, he had to let Wen Tao lie flat on the couch and have a good rest.In fact, he is not a particularly patient person, and he is usually used to being alone, but every time he sees Wen Tao's occasional youthful spirit, he is always very happy, just like seeing himself in the past.
