Rebirth of the Golden Bastard

"This actually makes sense." It was Xia Yunqing who was still expressionless who broke the suffocating silence of the crowd.Cang Qiao suddenly had an illusion, as if no matter how he dragged the matter to a thousand miles away, this man would always have a way to bring it back.

Sure enough, Yingyou looked at him, raised her eyebrows slightly, and waited for him to continue.

"May I ask the general, how many brothels and gambling houses are there in the entire capital?"

Yingyou looked at Lieutenant General Jiang Hai, Jiang Hai straightened his back: "If you don't count small workshops, there are about one hundred to two hundred that can be seen on the surface."

"Is it one hundred or two hundred?" Yingyou frowned, he didn't like the words "about", "probably" and "possibly".

"180 two!" Jiang Hai said quickly.

Cang Qiao looked at him in surprise, "Are you sure? How do you know?"

Jiang Hai was a little embarrassed, "I...I'm not sure...but the difference should be less than twenty."

Xia Yunqing said: "These places are full of fish and dragons. Even the general's eyeliner may not be easy to monitor."

Just the fact that there are two kung fu girls in the well-known Yixiang Garden is enough to make people suspicious.There are three bridges in the capital city of Yilan. The area within the three bridges is called the inner city, and the area outside the three bridges is called the outer city.

There are many times more gambling houses and brothels in the outer city than in the inner city, and those in the inner city are all as elegant and famous as Yixiangyuan.

If there are dragons and crouching tigers hidden in Yixiang Garden, there are many in the outer city.

Yingyou's face also turned serious, she glanced at Cang Qiao and said, "Although you look crazy, you still have a lot of things in your head."

Cang Qiao blinked his eyes: "Thank you General for your compliment."

Yingyou laughed, turned around and walked out, "You don't need to worry about this matter, the general has his own rules."

Cang Qiao stood up at once, "Then Yushu and the others..."

Yingyou said without turning her head: "I sent someone to bring it to you. I must give the general a satisfactory explanation before the sun goes down tomorrow."

……

It was like three trials in the room.Yushu and Yingyao sat at the round wooden table, and under the opposite window, there were three people sitting in a row.

These three people are naturally Cang Qiao, Yun Qing and Wu Sheng.Wu Sheng was a little awkward, looked sideways at Cang Qiao: "I think..."

"Don't think about it." Cang Qiao glared at him across Xia Yunqing, "You don't want to know Wukong's whereabouts?"

Wu Sheng frowned, "It's not Wu, it's Wu!" Why does this kid always like to call people nicknames.

Cang Qiao pouted, "Almost."

"It's far away!" Wu Sheng's forehead twitched and twitched, "The surname has changed!"

"I also changed my surname to Feng Yasong, and he didn't say anything." Cang Qiao picked out his ears, "You're so mean."

Wu Sheng gasped, a mouthful of blood almost stuck in his throat.Xia Yunqing looked at him in the blink of an eye, and patted the man's shoulder patted.That means - don't get angry, the elder brother is just joking.

Wu Sheng snorted, seemingly indifferent on the surface, but slowly clenched his fists on his knees, revealing his worry about his younger brother, "Ask them what else can they ask?"

Cang Qiao said, "How do you know if you don't ask?"

As he said that, he looked up at the two people in front of him who were a little uneasy: "Don't be nervous, I'll just ask some questions, it would be best if I can remove your suspicions."

Yingyao is still young and is more likely to reveal her emotions than Yushu, so she nodded quickly when she heard this: "Ask!"

"Where were you when those two homeless men were killed?"

Yingyao said: "We... are not in the building." She said, "But we didn't see those two people either!"

Cang Qiao asked doubtfully, "Where is it not in the building? At least tell me the location."

Yingyao seemed to be unable to speak. She looked anxiously at her sister, but Yushu kept her head down and didn't respond at all.

Xia Yunqing said in a cold voice with no expression on her face: "Brother is entrusted by you to help you. If you don't cooperate, no one can help you."

Yingyao's eyes turned red, and she pulled down La Yushu's sleeve on the table.

Yu Shu frowned, and finally said: "Both are dead, Young Master Xia, you should leave this matter alone."

Cang Qiao raised her eyebrows, somewhat unexpected.But Yingyao cried loudly: "Sister! Don't do this! I don't want to die yet!"

Yushu's face was pale, and was shaken by his sister's sleeves. He finally held back his trembling voice and said, "I only have one request, to take Yingyao out of the capital. Other things, whether it's murder or robbery, Leave it all to me."

This means that no matter what, push her anyway?

Cang Qiao crossed Erlang's legs and tapped her fingers on the armrest, "Are you hunted down? Or will you be hunted down once you tell me?"

Yu Shu didn't say a word, Wu Sheng frowned, "Since that's the case, I will do as you wish. I have no obligation to do anything for you in the first place."

He got up with a flick of his sleeves, but Yingyao knelt on the ground normally, "Young masters, I beg you, I don't want to die, and I don't want my sister to die either. We... we were at..."

"Yingyao!"

Yushu stood up at once, but before her fingers touched Yingyao's sleeves, she was bounced away by an internal force.

She staggered and supported the edge of the table so as not to fall to the ground.Raising his eyes, he was facing a pair of cold eyes.

Xia Yunqing bent her fingers, and slowly said: "Brother, this has nothing to do with this matter, you are involved in it, and now you have to let it go."

The capital's evaluation of Xia Cangqiao has reached the point where whenever something happens, he must be thought of.If it was Xia Cangqiao from before, Xia Yunqing didn't think she would have any injustice for him.But it's different now, how could he just watch everyone gossip about his innocent elder brother.

It was the first time for Wu Sheng to see Xia Yunqing get really angry, and surprise flashed across his face for a moment.Even Cang Qiao was a little stunned, and he pulled Xia Yunqing's sleeve in embarrassment.The man turned his head and looked at God with a smiling face.

"Don't get excited." He squeezed the man's fingers, like coaxing a child.Then he paused, and suddenly said, "Thank you."

Xia Yunqing froze for a moment, as if a hand had pinched the depths of her heart, and it hurt.

Cang Qiao turned to look at Yushu: "If you say it, you will die if you don't. If that's the case, why don't you say it and give it a try? Maybe we have a way to keep you."

Yu Shu's face turned cold, "How can I protect it?"

"If you don't tell me, how would I know?" Cang Qiao spread her hands.

Yingyao couldn't care less, she didn't wait for her sister to stop her, and said directly: "Last night we slipped out of Yixiang Garden and went to a family in the back alley."

Seeing that she had already spoken, Yu Shu simply sat down on the chair, took a long breath, and looked at the corner of the table expressionlessly.It seemed like letting go.

"My sister and I have been from the Cold Moon Palace since we were young, but we are not talented enough, and we are not good at learning martial arts. Later, we were sent by the palace lord to be a liaison in the capital and have been staying in Yixiang Garden."

Cang Qiao turned to look at Xia Yunqing: "What is the Cold Moon Palace?"

Xia Yunqing said: "It's a sect in Jianghu that only accepts women, but it is rumored that the Palace Master is a man."

Cang Qiao said "Wow", "This is the legendary harem." He turned to look at Yingyao, "Have you met the palace master?"

"The Palace Master can only be seen by his cronies." Yingyao shook her head, "We have never met before."

Cang Qiao nodded, with regret on her face, "Go on."

"Originally we were in the capital, and we were just doing some things for the palace master to find out information. Because there are many people coming and going in the capital, there will also be other sects from all corners of the world who come here for business. The reason why Hanyue Palace has always stood at the top of the five palaces is precisely because Our intelligence is unmatched by other sects.”

Cang Qiao turned to look at Xia Yunqing again: "What are the Five Great Palaces?"

The one who will answer this is Wu Sheng, he said: "The martial arts in Jianghu are divided into Five Great Palaces, Three Great Gates, and Two Great Valleys. These ten schools are the most prestigious in Jianghu. They also almost represent the entire martial arts world."

Cang Qiao said "Oh" again, then turned to look at Yingyao, "Go ahead."

Yingyao also got up from the ground at this time, sat on the chair, and wiped her face with her sleeve.

"But recently, there seems to be faint and dangerous movements in the Jianghu. The palace master noticed this and ordered all the contacts of the Hanyue Palace outside to focus on investigating what happened. We also reported to the intermediary once a month in the past, and speeded up to every month. Report once every three days."

Cang Qiao came to his senses, "So you went out to sign in?"

"Sign...?" Yingyao didn't understand what that meant, but Yushu next to her spoke.

"That's right, we went to find a middleman. In Cold Moon Palace, the middleman is responsible for all the contacts. Only she knows who the contacts in the entire capital are. She will gather our information and then tell the Palace Master."

"That is to say, you don't know who is your own?" Cang Qiao asked while rubbing her chin.

Yushu nodded, with a sad expression, "The contact person knows the middleman, and the middleman is the person who knows the most news and the most secrets in the entire Cold Moon Palace. They are naturally the most powerful cronies selected by the palace lord. Once the contact person is caught If you want to torture to find out who the middleman is, the contact person can only..."

Yu Shu pursed his lips, "I can only keep it secret with death..."

Cang Qiao was silent for a while, "Because you have the most information among all the sects. So there will be others who will pay attention to the middleman?"

"Yes." Yushu nodded.

Yingyao said again: "Although I don't know if it's true, but it is said that once the contact person is caught or tortured, even if the contact person doesn't want to die, there will be other people from Cold Moon Palace to kill them. So... so Once we are caught..."

Yingyao looked like she was about to cry again.

Cang Qiao suddenly said: "You guys are deep in the alley, didn't you hear the sound of fighting outside?"

Yu Shu shook his head: "I heard the movement, but in order to avoid complications, we didn't go out to see it."

Xia Yunqing said: "What is the crisis in Jianghu?"

Yushu was taken aback, and she glanced at Xia Yunqing.Although Yingyao just mentioned it, she didn't expect this young man to discover the most important point. She hesitated whether to say it or not.

"Is it related to the actions of the Orchid Sect?" Xia Yunqing continued to ask.

Yushu was silent, Yingyao looked around and said, "It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you."

Xia Yunqing looked at her, "I think it's related."

Suddenly, the Orchid Pie who had an appointment with Xia Cangqiao was assassinated inexplicably, and Hanyue Palace began to collect information. All these points made him feel uneasy, as if something was about to happen.

Yingyao looked at him, "The information each of us has collected is limited, and the one who can really analyze the reason is the middleman with the most information."

Cang Qiao said suddenly: "Then we'll go find that middleman."

Yushu froze for a moment, Yingyao also opened her mouth not knowing what to say.

Cang Qiao laughed and said, "Maybe she not only knows who killed the Lanhua faction, but even why she was killed."

Yushu frowned.Indeed, when it comes to information, no one knows everything in this world better than Hanyue Palace.

"But how are you going to go?" Yu Shu said, "If you are discovered, you will be hunted down as well."

Cang Qiao looked at her: "Do you know what the middleman looks like?"

"I don't know." Yushu didn't understand why he asked this, "We only know the meeting place, but we have never seen her face."

"Then that's it." Cang Qiao said: "Talk to her about the terms, we won't know her face anyway, at most she can change her hiding place, and then the well water will not interfere with the river water."

Yushu still couldn't get back to his senses, "And then?"

"If she knows who the real culprit is, she can remove your suspicions. By the way, I would like to ask what the Jianghu crisis refers to. If she is willing to tell, it will naturally help a lot."

Yu Shu was overjoyed, and looked at Cang Qiao inexplicably, "What terms do you offer her in exchange?"

Cang Qiao rubbed her chin and said with a smile, "Is it enough to trade knowing her identity and her secret?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Yushu and Yingyao, but also Xia Yunqing and Wu Sheng were stunned.
