The commotion in the master bedroom stopped abruptly. A loud voice like a broken gong roared, "Which blind thing is making a ruckus at the door and disturbing Grandpa Shark's pleasure? You must be tired of living!"
The green-dressed girl said contemptuously, "Hmph, trash that only thinks with the lower half of your body. In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, get rid of the woman and come out to see me. Otherwise, I'll cut off your fat and feed it to the dogs today!"
A panicked voice suddenly came from inside, "So, so it's Miss Xia He. But, but does Vice Pavilion Master have a new order?" It was followed by the rustling sound of clothes being put on.
After some time, the door was pulled open from the inside, and a woman covered her face and ran out. She did not dare to stop for even half a step, and ran towards the front yard. Then, she saw a fat middle-aged man in luxurious clothes walk out. This man was fat, bald, and had a big mole on his forehead. He was born with a pair of big ears.
Seeing him come out, the green-dressed girl took two steps back in disgust and said, "Hmph, how can you be called a black-headed shark with this kind of appearance? It would be more appropriate to call you a black-headed pig. You can't stay in this room anymore. Why don't you find a place to talk? "
"Yes, yes, yes." The black-headed shark didn't dare to refute. With a flattering face, he nodded and bowed. "Please follow me, Miss Xia He."
The two people hiding behind the wall heard him. They looked at each other and nodded.
Yan Li followed in the dark and asked in a low voice, "Can you see through their cultivation?"
Lianhai Changjin observed carefully for a moment and said, "The black-headed shark is the same as the information said. He doesn't have any cultivation. These years, he's used to acting like a tyrant. I'm afraid he's not as good as an ordinary person. As for the one called Xia He, I can't tell. Her breath is a little strange. I can't get a feel of it."
Yan Li's heart trembled. So he felt the same way too. He had seen the four maids of Young Master Cai twice in total, but he didn't find any trace of cultivation on them. But now that he saw her flying in the air, he realized that her lightness kungfu was extremely good. Moreover, her breath was very strange. Just like Lianhai Changjin said, he couldn't get a feel of it.
Usually, for cultivators, regardless of whether their breaths were heterogeneous or harmonious, there was a root to follow. However, Xia He's breath seemed to be borrowed from somewhere else. It could only be described as strange.
Following the two people to a side room, Xiahe looked around before entering the room. After confirming that no one was following them, she followed Blackhead Shark into the room and closed the door.
The black-headed shark poured water and lifted the chair. He was very attentive. In the end, he said with a shy face, "I'm lucky to be alone with Miss Xiahe in a room. It's really, really my honor …"
"Shut up!" Xia He glanced at him coldly and said, "Humph, if it weren't for the task, I would feel disgusted even talking to you. Face the wall and don't look at me like a dog, lest you infect my young master with swine fever and pollute his eyes."
"Yes, yes, yes …" The blackhead shark quickly ran to face the wall, more obedient than a dog.
"Do you have any complaints about Young Master's arrangement?" Xia He suddenly asked.
The blackhead shark shook his head repeatedly and said, "How would I dare? When the gang was forced to disband by that bitch Ji Tiansheng, my brothers had nowhere to go. Those who had a good background could go back home to farm, but those who didn't had a bad reputation and couldn't find a job to support their families. The best outcome for them was to beg. If it weren't for the Deputy Pavilion Master's kindness in helping me open a gambling house, my brothers and I would have already died in the sea of stars! "
Xiahe responded with the greatest disdain. She said disdainfully, "Humph! You make it sound nice, but where are your brothers now? You evil people with ulcers on the top of your head and pus on the soles of your feet still want to die in the sea of stars. The Asura Demon Prison is your destination. "
The blackhead shark was not ashamed. He laughed and said, "I live in the present, and I don't care what happens after I die."
Xiahe was even more disdainful. She said, "Your description is too inappropriate. I don't know where you copied it from. You're really an ignorant pig."
The blackhead shark said with a smile, "I lost my parents when I was young, so how could I have the chance to go to school? I only know this because I've been with the Deputy Pavilion Master for a long time. Hah! Anyway, that's it … However, I've always been curious. Why did the Deputy Pavilion Master make such an arrangement? "
"Humph! How dare you say you have no complaints! "Xiahe said coldly.
"No, no!" The blackhead shark hurriedly explained, "I'm just curious. I don't mean anything else. If I have any disloyalty, I'll be struck by lightning and die without a complete corpse!"
"Humph! Didn't you say that I don't care what happens after I die? What's there to be afraid of dying without a complete corpse? It's death anyway! "Xiahe said coldly.
The blackhead shark was at a loss for words. He said anxiously, "I, I really don't mean anything else …"
Xiahe said, "Alright, I don't think you dare! Do you know why the Young Master called me here? "
"I'll listen to Miss Xiahe's instructions," the blackhead shark said.
Xiahe said, "The last time he asked you to run away with the money, it was to create a trap. The plan went smoothly, but an accident happened last night. The target survived again, and the Young Master is very angry."
After a pause, she said in a serious tone, "The Young Master is really angry. Why doesn't that stinky bug die?"
"Ah, this …" The blackhead shark was confused. He didn't know that he was in someone else's plan and that he had failed.
Xiahe said, "If that stinky bug doesn't die, you'll be the one to die."
"Ah …" The blackhead shark's face suddenly turned pale. "Miss Xiahe, Miss Xiahe, you have to save me no matter what. I've followed the Deputy Pavilion Master for so many years. Even if I don't make any contributions, I'll still work hard!"
Xiahe sneered, "You're not even a hired thug. Normally, you don't even have the qualification to see the Young Master. Are you not willing to die for the Young Master?"
The blackhead shark's face was ashen, and he couldn't say a word.
Xiahe continued, "That stinky bug has the help of the Lianhai Bank. He'll find this place soon. If he finds you, you'll definitely die. Maybe you're hiding somewhere now …"
As soon as she said this, Yan Li and Hai Changjin, who were hiding in the dark and eavesdropping, felt their hearts skip a beat. Even Hai Changjin was very nervous. If the other party knew that they were coming and set up an ambush, they wouldn't be able to explain themselves.
"What?" The blackhead shark was at a loss of what to do. It shrank its head and looked around like an ant on a hot pan.
"Humph!" Xiahe sneered, "Look at how scared you are. A pig will always be a pig. Stand still."
"Yes, yes …" The blackhead shark managed to stand still.
Xiahe said, "After all, you're working for the Young Master. So, I can save you this time."
The blackhead shark was overjoyed. "Thank you, Miss Xiahe. Thank you, Deputy Pavilion Master. I'll do anything for you and work for you wholeheartedly!"
Xiahe said, "However, there's one more thing I need you to do. If you do it well, it'll be a great merit. If you don't, don't complain. Find a rope and hang yourself. Otherwise, if you fall into the Young Master's hands, humph, you'll be better off dead than alive!"
The blackhead shark patted his chest and said, "Miss Xiahe, please tell me. I'll do it beautifully for you …"
Xiahe said, "There's an Disciplinary Office under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. It's responsible for guarding the Heavenly Prison. Your task is to keep an eye on the movements of the prisoners, their lives, and their crimes. Remember, if there's anything unusual, no matter how big or small, especially the internal changes of the Supreme Court, you have to report it all to the Young Master. Take care of everything. Tomorrow morning, someone will come to take you to your post … "
"Disciplinary Office?" The blackhead shark was stunned. Then, he said with joy, "I, I'm going to be an official?"
"Humph!" Xiahe said disdainfully, "What's the point of being an official? If you do it beautifully, you'll be conferred the title of King or Marquis!" After saying that, she pushed the door open and left. It seemed that she couldn't stay any longer.
The two people in the dark were shocked. Who were these people?
Lian Hai Changjin didn't know much about them, so he was just surprised.
Along the way, everything Yan Li saw and heard made him feel a chill in his heart. It was as if there was a pair of invisible hands wrapping around the whole of Yongling. When it reached the point where it could twist and flatten at will, even Ji Zhiyuan would inevitably fall from his throne.
There was still no clue as to why the Bai Residence was destroyed.
"Brother Yan, what should we do now?" Lian Hai Changjin asked quietly.
Yan Li's eyes flickered. "Let's go back first," he said.
The two quietly returned the way they came. They found a carriage at the corner of the alley and returned to the Resentful Yuan Tower.
The food and wine were cold, but it wasn't as cold as Yan Li's heart.
Lianhai Changjin hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother Yan, do you think we should …"
Yan Li calmly interrupted him. "No one can predict the hidden danger in this, let alone the reaction of the Holy Emperor when he learns of this. The First Manor in the World might not be able to see through the darkness of Yongling. As a classmate, I advise you not to interfere anymore, and don't mention it to anyone. "
Lian Hai Changjin frowned deeply and didn't speak for a long time.
Yan Li's eyes flickered and he said in a serious tone, "I know you aren't afraid of death, but have you ever thought about your subordinates? Believe me, the underworld isn't as simple as you think. Even if the First Manor in the World isn't afraid, blood is bound to be shed. "
"I know." Lianhai Changjin suddenly looked as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. "Brother Yan, it's best if you don't interfere in this matter anymore. Focus on your studies in the Academy and you'll have a bright future ahead of you."
"I know."
…
The official residence of the Supreme Court.
In the front room, Dong Qing sat at the head of the table with a gloomy face.
Mu Dongfeng stood below him and said, "Godfather, why did the higher-ups randomly send an Disciplinary Officer here? And I heard that he used to be the leader of some gang. I'm afraid he doesn't even know how to read. How can this kind of trash be an official? "
"You still don't understand?" Dong Qing said coldly. "They're starting to suspect."
Mu Dongfeng was shocked and his expression changed. "Then, then what should we do? Godfather, let's just forget about it. Don't do it for me … "
"Ha!" Dong Qing let out an inexplicable laugh and shook his head. "No matter where you are, traitors will never have a good ending, not to mention half-hearted traitors. There's no turning back. Since this matter has been done, there's no turning back. We can only do our best … "
He paused here and revealed a trace of gentleness in his eyes. He looked at Mu Dongfeng and said, "As long as you can get rid of the shackles of the Black Lotus, I'm willing to make any sacrifice."
Mu Dongfeng was moved. "I, I'm not worth it!"
Dong Qing shook his head and changed the topic. "How's the investigation going?"
Mu Dongfeng said excitedly, "I found it. It's at the Silver Moon Villa."
