Chapter 347
A trace of sadness flashed across Xuanyuan Qi's face, and then he put on a teasing joke, "Can't you come out if you have nothing to do?"
"Don't laugh when you don't want to laugh, it's so fake, it's scary to watch!"
This little girl is still so merciless when speaking.
He suppressed his smile, with uncontrollable sadness on his face, "Today is my father's memorial day!"
Meng Lianyi was silent.
She can't help him with this kind of thing!
"May I tell you a story?"
She instinctively wanted to refuse, but nodded unexpectedly.
"Once upon a time, there was a man who loved a woman very much, but he hurt her. It was too late when he wanted to save her. Because the woman died, her soul came to another time and space, and he finally found it. Her whereabouts followed. Unexpectedly, in this life, he was one step too late. The person he loved had already become someone else's wife. Such an unforgettable love made him understand that if he lost it, he would lose it forever. I can't find it either!"
"Later, because of his responsibility, he married a wife and gave birth to a child, and gave another woman the dream of being a couple for life. He was doomed to be depressed and lonely for the rest of his life. His longing became mad, his health went from bad to worse, and after all, he still did not escape the fate of an untimely death!"
Meng Lianyi knew who he was talking about, but the past is over, so why should she keep chasing after him?
"His obsession is too deep. If he lets go earlier, he may not be able to be happy!"
Xuanyuan Qi didn't speak.
There was a sudden silence in the room, and the deathly silence made her a little uncomfortable.
When she was trying to break the abnormal silence, he suddenly got up and said lightly, "My story is over, it's getting late, you should go to bed early!"
"You said it's getting late, so stay here today! There's a guest room for you!"
For some reason, she suddenly didn't want to see him leave like this. Such loneliness made her heart ache.
Only later did she realize that it was not so easy to let go of her obsession!
This night, Xuanyuan Qi stayed at Yiren Villa.
In fact, he didn't know why he came here today to tell her about his father.He thought, maybe she is that person's daughter!
In previous years, he always drank all night alone in front of his father's mausoleum, telling his father his pain and depression.
This year, it was the first time that he did not drink alcohol and spent his father's memorial day soberly.
It's obviously the same, but there seems to be something different.
He chuckled, that little girl didn't want to keep him at first, maybe it was his loneliness that softened her heart?What a silly girl!
He thought, tonight, he will have a good dream, and he hopes that there is her in the dream.
Unfortunately, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night!
……
"Master, I just got the news that the emperor is not in the palace tonight!"
A man in black respectfully knelt in front of the masked man to report the news he had just learned.
"Then where is he at the moment?"
"Yiren Villa!"
The masked man snorted, "I didn't expect Mr. Yi Ren to give him face, and he actually went to be a national teacher!"
"My lord, do we still want?"
The man in black made a killing motion.
"Don't do it for now. Don't forget, he has been poisoned by us. Even if we don't do it, I'm afraid he won't live for long!"
The man's eyes reflected a cruel light.
"It's still the master's clever plan!"
"As the saying goes, Jiang is still old and hot, so what if two young babies are joined hands? Do you still want to fight with me? I really don't know what to do!"
Meng Lianyi tossed and turned in the room and couldn't fall asleep, so she simply got up, changed into a purple streamer dress, her hair was tied up high with a purple headband, she lifted her fan and went out the door.
A few jumped, flew a few streets, and stopped on the roof.Looking from top to bottom, tsk tsk, this business is really good!
That was clearly the largest brothel in the capital—Piaoxiangyuan.
Throughout the ages, this brothel has been the biggest source of news and the fastest way to make money.
It's just that this Piaoxiangyuan is different from other brothels. The girls here are not only beautiful, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry. Most of the girls are honest officials.The most eye-catching thing is that the delicacies here cannot be eaten anywhere else!
Meng Lianyi nodded with a sense of accomplishment. Compared with those chain stores opened by her sister, her brothel can be regarded as making a lot of money.
Turning around and entering through the back door, the mother of Piaoxiangyuan saw her coming, and immediately smiled, "My lord, I haven't come for a while, they all miss you!"
She smiled wickedly, reached out and pinched Mother Piao's chin, "They miss me, don't you miss me?"
Piao's mother helplessly took off her hand, if she didn't know that she was a woman, she really thought she was some playboy from somewhere!
"Come on, don't be poor, they will follow you, but I won't!"
Then, she whispered in Meng Lianyi's ear, "My lord, there's been a lot of news recently!"
She raised her eyebrows, "Did those people make any big moves?"
"I don't know, these news seem to be unrelated, but there seems to be another mystery. You have ordered us, son, and we are not allowed to act without your order, so we can only wait for you to come to make a decision!"
"Also, Xiao Hua is dead!"
Meng Lianyi's face suddenly pulled down, "Why?"
"Xiaohua desperately brought back a piece of news, but because of her serious injury, she spoke intermittently. We really don't know what she meant!"
A trace of heartache flashed on Piao's mother's face.
"Didn't I tell them to put their own safety first, why are they so reckless this time?"
Meng Lianyi has always put safety first and tasks second to her subordinates.If the mission cannot be completed, there will be a next time. If life is lost, nothing will be lost.
But why are they so reckless?
Xiaohua, she remembered that it was a very pretty little girl, she was very shy when she saw her for the first time, she didn't expect that little girl would just disappear after a few days?
"Take me to see her!"
Mother Piao didn't say anything, and took her into a secret room, and it was Xiao Hua lying there.
"I can't do without you outside, you go out first, I will go by myself in a while!"
Mother Piao nodded, and reached out to pat her on the shoulder, which was a wordless comfort!
After getting along for a few years, she somewhat understood the son's temperament. In her heart, they were not subordinates or tools, but her relatives, people she valued.
Every time, as long as someone is injured, no matter whether it is serious or not, she will always come to visit immediately; this time, it was a dead person, so how could she not feel bad?
Meng Lianyi walked up to Xiao Hua, and carefully looked at the lifeless little girl in front of her. It seemed that she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she could no longer open her eyes to see this grotesque world.
She observed Xiao Hua's wound, the fatal one was a knife in the heart.Judging from the wound, it should have been accidentally injured when they were face to face - it was someone she knew!
Meng Lianyi's eyes suddenly overflowed with murderous intent, it seems that there are spies in the organization!
"Xiao Hua, don't worry, I won't let you die in vain!"
This is her oath and a promise!
If you dare to betray her, you will suffer the fate of betraying her!
……
"Since everyone is gathered, I will make a long story short."
"I think you all know that a sister died and you looked at her body. Tell me, what is it?"
Meng Lianyi glanced at them coldly, and said firmly, "This is a gauntlet, a provocation!"
"Now, I want you to find out the traitor in the organization at all costs. Once he is caught, I will let him have a taste of life and death!"
This is the first time Meng Lianyi has said such harsh words.
Because, she was really angry.
In this world, the strong prey on the weak, she can understand.But the only thing that can't accept betrayal.Everyone in this organization was personally selected by her, and she couldn't tolerate people who made trouble under her nose.
"Yes, we will make him pay in blood!"
Sadness is often also a kind of cohesion, a kind of morale.
"Tell me, what did she say before she died?"
Mother Piao stepped forward and handed her a jade belt with a sun and moon shape embroidered with gold thread and a small fragment.
Meng Lianyi took a closer look and frowned slightly. It seemed to be used by soldiers of the army!
Xiaohua risked her life to bring these back, what exactly was she trying to say?
"Before Xiaohua died, she said three words, water, knife, and silver!"
"We've thought about it for a long time, but we don't know what these three words mean!"
After hearing these three words, Meng Lianyi also shook her head, without any clue.
"And you, what news?"
A woman in red took a step forward, "I heard that many big businessmen in the capital are hoarding food quietly. Now there is no flood, and I don't know why they are hoarding so much food!"
Another woman in green also took a step forward, "A few days ago, I heard Wang Yuanwai say something when he was drunk. I always thought it was very strange, but I don't know what it meant!"
"what?"
"He said that iron and copper have become more and more expensive recently, and business has become more and more difficult!"
Meng Lianyi pondered, the price of iron and copper has always been controlled by the emperor himself, how could the price increase without reason?
……
After listening to their reports one by one, she frowned even deeper. These questions seemed plain, but was it really that simple behind it?
I'm afraid it's not likely, right?
"Hong'er, these days you must do everything possible to find out the connection. I always feel that the matter behind this is not simple!"
"Yes, the subordinate must complete the task!"
"Remember, you can only act when you ensure your absolute safety. Also, you'd better be together on weekdays, so that you can take care of each other!"
"Remember, I don't want to encounter a second time like this today!"
Looking at the lifeless little flower in front of them, everyone's faces were filled with deep sadness.
"It's almost dawn, everyone has been busy all night, let's go to rest!"
"Yes!"
In the past, every time she came here, everyone was happy, but this time, the atmosphere was so serious, it was really uncomfortable.
"Gone with the wind, you stay here first!"
"Xiao Hua's house, have you taken care of it?"
"Young Master, don't worry, her only younger brother is currently studying in the best academy in Meng Country, but he hasn't been told that his sister is gone!"
Meng Lianyi felt sad again.
"Don't talk about it, give him money every month according to Xiaohua's habit. Let's talk about it when he is older!"
The dead are dead, and the living can be chased, so let's keep it a secret for now!
"Gone with the wind, have you and I known each other for many years?"
Mother Piao's eyes were a little lost, and she sighed after a long time, "Yes, it's been almost eight years!"
"When you wanted to buy this Piaoxiang Courtyard back then, my lord, I was against it all the time. Unexpectedly, now this place has become my best destination!"
"Is there anyone who cares about mom?"
She thought for a while, and a figure flashed in her mind, but she said, "I have no children and no daughters in my life, and I am a half-year-old lady. I have one foot in the coffin, so who cares?"
"Mom, originally, I shouldn't care about your affairs, but today I suddenly understood one thing. Life is full of vicissitudes, and you never know what will happen in the next second. If this is the case, why let yourself regret it?"
"After so many years, you still haven't married, which means you have him in your heart. If that's the case, why are you obsessed with the past?"
Mother Piao's eyes widened immediately, and she looked at Meng Lianyi in disbelief.
"You don't have to be so surprised. I didn't ask someone to check you, but I accidentally saw an embroidered handkerchief three days ago, and I realized that the person in your heart turned out to be him!"
"You, saw him?"

A trace of sadness flashed across Xuanyuan Qi's face, and then he put on a teasing joke, "Can't you come out if you have nothing to do?"
"Don't laugh when you don't want to laugh, it's so fake, it's scary to watch!"
This little girl is still so merciless when speaking.
He suppressed his smile, with uncontrollable sadness on his face, "Today is my father's memorial day!"
Meng Lianyi was silent.
