When the lanterns were lit, Leng Shoushi and Leng Shoushan's banquet began.
Six young men were invited.
The six of them looked different, some were good-looking while others were average. Their personalities were different too, but their status was similar. They were all young and promising, not rich kids who relied on their families.
Leng Shoushan was very friendly, he said that his fifth brother's friends were his friends too. If they had any difficulties in the future, he would help them without hesitation.
The six of them were very friendly to him, then they talked about Leng Shoujiang's past. They all sighed, saying that the heavens were jealous of the talented, good people did not live long. It made them feel helpless and respectful.
They were also very angry at Leng Shoujiang's murderer, but they could not do anything. Fairy's Capital's governor and the Secret Guardians Hall were investigating, but there were no results. It was obvious that they would not be able to catch the murderer.
Leng Shoushan ordered a few bottles of good wine and drank to his heart's content. Under his lead, everyone started to drink. The more they drank, the more they talked, and the more they drank.
Leng Shoushi left quickly. He had a strong personality and was a man of few words. He was surrounded by a serious aura that made it difficult for people to relax.
Once he left, the atmosphere at the table suddenly became relaxed. Coupled with Snow Ji's sweet smile, the crowd became more lively.
Leng Shoushan would occasionally reply and ask about his Fifth Brother.
Snow Ji drank two cups of wine and apologized with a smile. She then left the house to wash up.
When she returned, she took the opportunity to help Leng Shoushan up the mountain to give him a piece of paper that had been folded into a small square.
Leng Shoushan opened it in his sleeve when no one was paying attention. He glanced at it and immediately put it back in his sleeve. He continued to drink with the crowd and casually asked, "Does anyone know about Zhu Wu?"
Everyone was stunned and shook their heads in confusion.
"Sigh …" Leng Shoushan shook his head. "I heard that this person has a grudge against fifth brother. I don't know if it's true or if he was the one who did it."
"Who's Zhu Wu?" The crowd was still confused.
Leng Shoushan sighed. "Forget it, let's not talk about him. He's spoiling everyone's mood. Come, let's drink."
He did not manage to get the others drunk, but he got drunk first.
When everyone saw him lying down, they also took their leave and quickly dispersed.
Leng Shoushan sat up after they left. He channeled his energy a few times and looked at Chu Li with clear eyes.
Leng Shoushi came over too. The two of them stared at Chu Li.
"Head Chief, how is it?" Leng Shoushi asked.
Leng Shoushan stared at Chu Li nervously.
Chu Li nodded. "I have some clues. Give me two days, I will personally capture the person and hand him over to Imperial Crown Prince Shan!"
"Did you really find a clue?" Leng Shoushan hurriedly asked.
Chu Li smiled. "My luck isn't bad. Maybe it's the spirit of Imperial Crown Prince Jiang helping me in heaven. I'll make a move immediately. Imperial Crown Princes, please do what you need to do."
"Understood." The two nodded.
Chu Li gave a fist salute and left.
After watching Chu Li disappear, the two returned to the table and sat down.
"Head Chief Chu didn't do anything, right? How do you know who the murderer is?" Leng Shoushan said in disbelief, "You're not just comforting me, are you?"
Leng Shoushi said, "Doesn't look like it."
Leng Shoushan sighed. "But this is too strange."
"Chu Li is very capable, even Uncle Bao admires him. He must have some strange tricks up his sleeves, or else he wouldn't have such a reputation." Leng Shoushi said, "Let's just wait and see. It was originally a hopeless situation, but if he really did find it, it would be a miracle."
"Sigh … I hope we can catch the murderer!" Leng Shoushan shook his head. "If we don't catch him, my father will probably go crazy. I don't even dare to talk to him now. His eyes look like he wants to kill. If I say something wrong, he'll kill me."
"Uncle Bao used to be a decisive person, but as he grew older, he gradually stopped fighting." Leng Shoushi said, "If other people really think that Uncle Bao is old, then they're very wrong!"
"Fifth Brother is really unlucky." Leng Shoushan sighed. "He actually lost his life, really!"
"We have to be careful too!" Leng Shoushi said, "You have to increase the number of Protectors, we can't be careless. If Fifth Brother was a little more careful, he might not have been killed!"
"Yes, I have five more Protectors now." Leng Shoushan smiled. "But the safest place is the Verdant Cloud Brothel, too bad we can't stay there forever."
"You can stay if you want to." Leng Shoushi said, "If you're not afraid of Uncle Bao breaking your legs!"
His brother had just passed away, but not only was he not sad, he even went to the Verdant Cloud Brothel to have fun. If Uncle Bao heard about this, it would be strange if he did not vent his anger on Leng Shoushan.
"I can't do it tonight, I need to rest." Leng Shoushan quickly said.
"I'll ask someone to clean up a room." Leng Shoushi said, "Send someone to inform the Public House."
"Ninth Brother is still the best!" Leng Shoushan closed fist saluted and smiled.

The next morning, Leng Shoushan only woke up when it was almost time for his lunch.
He slowly ate his lunch, then chatted with Snow Ji for a while, then followed Leng Shoushi to the martial arts field to practice. It was already dusk.
Just as the two of them were about to end their practice, a Protector suddenly came and said in a low voice, "Imperial Crown Prince, Head Chief Chu is here again with a horse carriage. He said he wants the horse carriage to come in together."
Leng Shoushan and Leng Shoushi looked at each other, their expressions changed.
Leng Shoushan looked excited.
Leng Shoushi said, "Let's not go out, just ask someone to let us in!"
"Yes, yes." Leng Shoushan quickly realized.
Leng Shoushi ordered.
Soon, Chu Li drove a normal horse carriage to the martial arts field slowly. He jumped off the carriage and closed fist saluted.
"Head Chief Chu, who's in this carriage …?" Leng Shoushi asked.
Chu Li said, "It's the murderer who assassinated Imperial Crown Prince Jiang, Zhu Wu."
"He's really the murderer who killed Fifth Brother!?" Leng Shoushan quickly asked.
Chu Li said, "I'll hand him over to Imperial Crown Prince Shan. As for how to interrogate him, I'm sure Imperial Crown Prince Shi will be able to find him. I won't interfere, just pretend I never interfered in this matter."
"Understood!" Leng Shoushi said, "I'll find someone to interrogate him properly."
Chu Li sighed, "Imperial Crown Princes, in my opinion, it's enough to find the murderer, there's no need to dig any deeper."
The two of them frowned, looked at him, and finally nodded slowly.
They understood what Chu Li meant. The mastermind behind this must be someone powerful, even if they were Imperial Crown Princes, they could not afford to offend him.
Instead, they became more and more curious.
Chu Li closed fist saluted, "I'll go back first, I won't be accompanying the two Imperial Crown Princes."
"Stay here for a night, have a good rest." Leng Shoushi said, "Or go to Miss Yu Qing's, or stay at Ji Xue's, you can choose one."
Chu Li shook his head and smiled, "Imperial Crown Prince Shi, thank you for your kindness, but I really have to go back."
"Let Head Chief Chu go back," Leng Shoushan said, "The Head Chief must be worried about the Imperial Residence of King An."
Chu Li smiled, "That's right."
"Alright then, come back in a few days," Leng Shoushi said, "Let's first avenge Fifth Brother."
Chu Li nodded, closed fist saluted and left.
Leng Shoushan could not wait to open the door of the carriage, only to see a short and skinny middle-aged man lying inside. His eyes were shut tight, not moving at all, as if he was in a deep sleep.
They knew that his acupuncture points were sealed, once the acupuncture points were unsealed, he would wake up.
"I'll call someone over first," Leng Shoushi said, "Interrogate this Zhu Wu."
