Chapter 25 The Girl Wen Gave Me

The next morning, Liang Yue was very sneaky when he arrived at the station, fearing that he would be discovered by Lao Hu. Fortunately, the other party went to the South City General Office for a meeting this morning, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

When the time came, he followed Chen Ju and Pang Chun out to patrol the streets.

"How was it last night?" Chen Ju smiled mischievously and nudged Liang Yue with his elbow. "Did you get along well with Miss Wen Yuan? Did you go home?"

"Of course I did." Liang Yue said, but he couldn't tell them about the matter with Zhuxie Si, but if he didn't say anything, it would cause them to make groundless guesses, so he said selectively: "I just met Miss Wen Yuan, and we had a pretty good chat..."

"What does she look like? Is she really as beautiful as the rumors say? How does she compare to Miss Wen from the Zhuxie Division?" Chen Ju asked eagerly.

"She is indeed very beautiful, and is no less beautiful than Miss Wen." Liang Yue said confidently, "She told me some of her past experiences and why she came to Miaoyin Pavilion..."

"What kind of experience?" Chen Ju asked, "She also had a father who died young, a sick mother, and a younger brother who was studying?"

"That's not the case. These are some of her secrets that cannot be told to outsiders." Liang Yue said impatiently.

"She told you all the secrets. Could she be in love with you?" Chen Ju was a little excited. "Brother, you have to seize the opportunity. Not everyone can hook up with an Oiran of this level."

"What are you talking about?" Liang Yue laughed, "We just met once, and we probably won't see each other again. I don't think he has that intention."

"I think it's possible. Maybe she just likes handsome guys. You're a little better than me in this aspect. Be more confident." Chen Ju pulled Pang Chun, who had been listening silently, aside and asked, "Dachun, what do you think?"

"Hmm..." Dachun pondered for a moment and said, "I think I'm a little hungry."

"Hey." Chen Ju was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks, "Can you have some other pursuits?"

"All I want is a good night's sleep. I've been dreaming about that old man with a white beard lately. He wants me to beat him up every time I dream about him. But no matter how hard I try, it doesn't hurt. I'm so tired." Dachun complained as he took out an oil-paper bag from his waist bag. Inside was three steaming hot roasted sweet potatoes. He handed them out and said, "Do you two want some?"

"Hehe, this old man might have some special hobby?" Chen Ju took one and began to peel the skin.

Seeing that the sweet potato was intact this time, Liang Yue took one and started eating. It was indeed sweet and sticky, so he praised: "Auntie's baked sweet potatoes are really fragrant. I never get tired of eating them."

Pang Chun smiled proudly: "Of course, my mother's cooking skills are top-notch, I never get tired of eating it every day."

"But won't you get heartburn if you eat sweet potatoes all day?" Chen Ju asked curiously.

"My mother is very smart. She told me that bananas can cure heartburn." Pang Chun casually touched and found a banana. "So she always prepares one for me."

"Wow." Chen Ju couldn't help but smile, "You really love these soft and yellow things."

"Wait..." Liang Yue suddenly raised his hand, as if he suddenly remembered something, with a gleam in his eyes: "I think I know..."

"What do you know?" Chen Ju asked puzzledly.

"I know how to poison!" Liang Yue said, not knowing whether he was talking to himself or answering.

"What do you mean by poisoning? Who do you want to poison?" Chen Ju was surprised.

"Hey, don't disturb him." Pang Chun hugged Chen Ju and pushed him away.

Although he didn't know what Liang Yue was doing, he could tell from the way he looked that he was thinking.

Thinking is a very noble act for Pang Chun.

After Liang Yue finished thinking, he did not explain anything to the two of them, but turned around and ran away, leaving only one sentence to them: "I'm going out for a while, you continue to patrol the streets, no need to wait for me!"

Only the tall and short men were left confused, both of them disheveled in the street wind.

……

Because the Zhuxie Division was newly established, it was located on the periphery of Chaotianfang, where many government offices gathered. The front door was not big, and it looked like a courtyard with black tiles and white eaves, hidden among the green tree crowns.

After all, in this area closest to the imperial city where every inch of land is valuable, it is not easy to suddenly find a suitable and spacious location.

Liang Yue rushed from the south to the north of the city. Even though he walked fast, it took him a long time. The noisy Tianjie Street gradually became quieter when it reached Chaotianfang. Gradually, there were no pedestrians, only government carriages and horses.

The north of the city is close to the emperor, and there are countless dignitaries. Who would dare to come here and make noise for no reason?
But the situation outside the Zhuxie Yamen was just the opposite.

Liang Yue was startled as soon as he got closer.

Outside the gate of the yamen with the three characters "Zhu Xie Si" hanging on a golden plaque, a large group of people gathered in twos and threes, about a hundred in number. These people were all men between the ages of fifteen and fifty, all dressed in fancy clothes, and looked either rich or noble. No one knew what they were doing here.

Liang Yue walked around the crowd and approached the gatehouse, calling out, "Excuse me, I want to see Wen Yifan, the evil executioner."

"Oh?" The concierge was a fat old man who looked to be about fifty years old, with messy hair and a red nose. He glanced at Liang Yue lazily and said, "Looking for Miss Wen?"

"Yes." Liang Yue replied.

"Queue up over there." The fat old man raised his chin and pointed at the crowd gathered over there, "Please move aside the door and don't delay the normal flow of people."

"No, why queue?" Liang Yue glanced at the crowd of people standing by and said, "I came to see Miss Wen for something important."

"Everyone here is here to see Miss Wen, saying they have something important to do." The fat old man said disdainfully to the crowd over there, "Looking at your official uniform, you are a lowest-ranking imperial guard. I advise you to give up this idea. If you don't have a third-rank official at home, no one will talk to you here."

Liang Yue suddenly realized that the people gathered here were all here to see Miss Wen.

Thinking about that face, it doesn’t seem strange.

He took out the handkerchief he had used before and said, "I am not here to pursue Miss Wen. I have something serious to do. My name is Liang Yue, and I am a guard stationed at Fukangfang. Please help me give this handkerchief to her and tell her that I have guessed the method of poisoning."

The concierge took the handkerchief, looked at it, then looked at Liang Yue and said, "Okay, wait for me for a moment. If you deceive people, you will suffer the consequences."

Having said that, he slowly stood up and went to report.

At first, when they saw Liang Yue approaching to look for Wen Yifan, the idle crowd outside the door didn't pay much attention, thinking that it was just another toad, and at most laughed a few times. But when they saw that the doorman actually stood up to report, they couldn't stand it anymore and moved closer.

A young man in fine clothes asked anxiously, "Brother, what did you give to the doorman that made him go and report for you? I gave him gold and silver, but he didn't even look at it!"

"Yes!" said another middle-aged man wearing a jade ring, "Since too many people have come to the Zhuxie Yamen to look for Miss Wen, Lord Chen has ordered that no more news about her be reported. How could you make an exception?"

"What did you give the porter?"

The crowd surrounded and questioned Liang Yue, forcing him into a corner.

"Haha..." Liang Yue laughed twice, "I just gave him a handkerchief."

"A handkerchief?" Everyone was puzzled. "What's so strange about this?"

"There's nothing special about that handkerchief. It was just given to me by Miss Wen." Liang Yue said calmly.

"what?!"

When these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Although the truth was that Wen Yifan wrapped the pill in a handkerchief and gave it to him, when he wanted to return it to Wen Yifan after washing it, she didn't want it anymore and said she would just give it to him.

The intermediate steps can be omitted, and when these suitors hear it, it will naturally be like a bolt from the blue!

When a woman gives a man a handkerchief, it sounds a bit ambiguous.

"Tell me clearly, boy, when, where and why did Miss Wen give you this handkerchief?"

"What else are you talking about? Wait till I kill this fellow!"

"How can you easily kill someone outside the government office? Everyone, please listen to my advice and castrate him!"

"You're a nice person!" Liang Yue was horrified.

Unexpectedly, these toads were so enraged that they were about to commit all kinds of inhumane acts on him.

The situation is critical in an instant!
At this critical moment, flowers flew all over the sky, blocking everyone's sight. In the midst of the fragrant smell, someone pulled Liang Yue, and he staggered.

When I looked up again, I had arrived at a spacious and elegant courtyard.

"Huh?" Liang Yue was puzzled.

Looking up, there was no small courtyard of the Zhuxie Yamen in front of me. Instead, there was an open area paved with blue bricks. Not far away were pavilions and towers with continuous tile eaves, and the architectural layout was quite impressive.

Looking back, I saw the door of the Evil-Slaying Division clearly there.

But it's obviously not that big when viewed from the outside.

In front of me was a pretty young girl in a green dress with double flower buns. Her face was so white and tender that it looked as if it could be blown away. Her big eyes were as bright as the clear water of a spring lake, looking at me.

"Girl, where is this?" Liang Yue was a little confused for a moment.

"The Demon-Extermination Office." The girl smiled sweetly and enthusiastically, "Aren't you here to see Senior Sister Wen?"

"Is this the Evil Slaying Division?" Liang Yue was surprised. "But from the outside, it looks completely different..."

"That's a trick. Longyuan City is too small. My master has set up restrictions to make the Evil Slaying Division a small world of its own. It can't be seen from the outside." The girl smiled and turned around, saying, "Follow me."

"Okay..." Although he had always heard about the mysterious methods of Qi Refiners, this was the first time that Liang Yue felt the magic of the small world, and he was truly shocked.

"Those people outside like Senior Sister Wen, it's so annoying." The girl muttered as she led him forward, "Although I also like Senior Sister Wen, I'm not annoying because we are just like each other from the same sect. Not only do I like Senior Sister Wen, I also like Senior Brother Shang..."

She kept chattering along, leading Liang Yue to a hall and sat him down, then said, "Senior Sister Wen and the others are busy, I have asked someone to notify her, please wait here for a moment."

"Okay." Liang Yue bowed and said, "Thank you for your help."

"My name is Xu Luzhi. I'll put my ear here. If you have any problem, just shout my name."

The little girl turned around and pulled her head with her right hand, as if she was pulling out a hair, but in the blink of an eye it turned into a blooming tender yellow flower.

She stuck the flower branch on the ground outside the door and ran away happily.

Is this what she meant by "ears"?
Liang Yue found it somewhat magical. He looked around and stepped out to get closer to the little flower. After careful observation, he did not find any difference between it and a real flower.

After watching for a while, he couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he tried to call out softly, "Miss Xu?"

"Are you calling me?" Xu Luzhi's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Ah? You're here so soon?" Liang Yue was surprised and turned to look at the girl. The magical power of the Xuanmen Qi Refiner was so mysterious! Even if she could hear it, she came too fast, right?
Is it true that the legendary power of shrinking the distance to an inch and traveling a thousand miles in an instant exists?

Is this the world of practitioners?
A little girl can be so amazing, it's really...

"I just went next door to get you a pot of tea. When I came back, I saw you squatting here calling me stealthily. What's the matter?" Xu Luzhi raised the teapot in her hand and asked Liang Yue, who was imagining something, enthusiastically.

Oh.

I walked back.

"..." Liang Yue was slightly embarrassed, and after a long while he managed to say: "Nothing, thank you."
