At this moment, the door of the inn opened, and three more guests were welcomed in by the waiter. They were a nobleman in white and his maidservants.

This noble young man entered the inn and took a quick look. When he saw Li Lianhua, his eyes suddenly lit up. He whispered a few words to his two followers, then walked straight to Li Lianhua's table and sat down.

Fang Duobing, who had a fair complexion and handsome appearance, said to Li Lianhua with a half-smile: "As the saying goes, mountains and rivers are destined to meet. It's easy to run away after doing something wrong, but wouldn't it be embarrassing to meet again?"

Li Lianhua smiled casually: "So it's you, Young Master Fang. This is what happened. I was in a hurry to find a friend, and then I was in a hurry to go north. I didn't have time to wait for you to sober up. I was indeed inconsiderate. Come, I'll treat you to some iced watermelon."

As he said this, he was about to hand a piece of watermelon to Fang Duobing, but Fang Duobing raised his hand to stop him.

"This young master doesn't like to eat melons, Doctor Li, I see you are in a hurry to leave, is it because of Park Erhuang?"

Li Lianhua looked calm: "What does it have to do with Park Erhuang?"

Fang Duobing snorted coldly, then expressed his suspicion. Only then did Li Lianhua realize that Fang Duobing actually suspected that he was a drug demon, and he immediately found it very funny.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, followed by lightning, thunder, strong winds and heavy rain, which made the windows and doors of the inn bang, and frightened the guests dining in the inn.

The guests at the table near Li Lianhua couldn't help cursing, "This damn place rains every day, and there are dead bones everywhere. It's really evil and unlucky. If this wasn't the closest way to the ferry, I would never come here even if you kill me."

Another customer quickly stopped his companion from talking and advised, "Stop talking and don't blame the store owner for being too busy. Just two days ago, a friend of mine was passing by the woods not far ahead and saw two vendors being strangled to death by skeletons that appeared from nowhere."

"So evil?" The man who had just spoken shuddered suddenly.

Their conversation was heard by three guests at the table behind them, and they all laughed.

"We often come and go in this area, and things like this are no longer surprising. If we talk about the biggest thing that has happened in Yucheng recently, we have to talk about the big change in the Yu family, the lord of Yucheng."

"The Yu family? Is that the Yu family that controls most of the jade business in Yucheng?"

"Besides that Yu family, who else could it be? Merchants coming and going from Yu City know how powerful the Yu family is. Madam Yu, the eldest daughter of the Yu family, is even more famous. But even such a big shot has been missing for almost a month."

"what?"

This guest's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the inn, and other guests also talked about this matter.

"I have also heard that the original lords of Jade City were Madam Yu Hongzhu and her husband Yu Mulan, and the current lord of the city has become the second young lady of the Yu family, Yu Qiushuang. I just don't know what major changes have taken place in the Yu family that would allow the second young lady, who is still unmarried, to take charge of Jade City."

The guests also began to talk about this matter.

"I heard that the second young lady of Yucheng was originally an innocent girl. When she succeeded the city lord, she was questioned by many people. However, she relied on her overbearing and bloody means to fight her way out and became the new city lord of Yucheng. It is said that she is more brutal and cruel than her sister."

"You really can't underestimate them. The Yu family has been able to control Yucheng for so many years, and the two sisters in the Yu family are also outstanding women."

Suddenly, someone said mysteriously, "I have a relative who works in Yucheng and heard some secrets about the Yucheng incident."

"tell me the story."

Everyone was looking at this person with gossip. Dining in the inn was boring to begin with, and now that they were talking about hot topics, everyone was naturally very interested.

At this time, the waiter came over with wine and food, and warned quietly: "Yucheng is a powerful force, so guests should be careful with their words."

Suddenly, a guest shouted nonchalantly: "Yucheng is powerful, but we are just chatting casually, not in their territory, do we need to be so cautious?"

"Yeah, brother, don't worry, just keep talking about what happened in Jade City."

Amid the jeers of the crowd, the man just now began to talk about the secret he knew.

"In fact, the eldest daughter of the Yu family, Yu Hongzhu, did not disappear, but was murdered by someone. The murderer was her husband, the City Lord Yu Mulan. Yu Mulan was the son-in-law of Yucheng. Although he was the City Lord in name, Yu Hongzhu was actually the one who made the decisions for Yucheng."

"I heard that Yu Mulan owed a lot of money from gambling. In order to get the wealth of Yucheng, she hooked up with Yunjiao, the best friend of Yu Qiushuang, the second daughter of Yucheng. The two conspired to murder Yu Hongzhu, and then wanted to murder Yu Qiushuang to monopolize Yucheng. However, Yu Qiushuang saw through the plot and arrested Yu Mulan and Yunjiao first. As for what happened to these two people in the end, I guess they were definitely killed."

When everyone heard this plot, they were all shocked. This plot sounded very exciting, with emotional entanglements and involving the inheritance of Yucheng and so on.

"But I just heard it, I don't know if it's true or not. You can just listen to it for fun, but don't spread it. If it angers the people of Yucheng, it will have nothing to do with me."

Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing also heard it and frowned in thought.

Li Lianhua wanted to find clues about the Golden Yuan League from Yucheng. Now that such a big change has happened in Yucheng, it must be a panic at this time.

Fang Duobing's eyes lit up. It sounded like a big case, and what he wanted most was to get involved in a big case.

"Li Lianhua, if you want to get rid of suspicion, come with me to Yucheng to investigate the case." Fang Duobing stared at Li Lianhua with burning eyes.

Li Lianhua woke up from her deep thoughts and replied without giving any face: "What case are you investigating? You are not going to say it is Yucheng's business, are you? This is their own internal dispute. What case do you want to investigate? If you want to investigate it, go by yourself. I won't accompany you."

Fang Duobing put the sword on Li Lianhua's shoulder: "I'm not giving you a choice now. You have no choice. Either help me investigate the case, or I will take you back to Baichuan Courtyard."

Li Lianhua said indifferently, "Baichuan Academy also needs to be reasonable. You have no basis for your actions. If you arrest me like this, my nameplate will be taken away and I will never be employed again."

Fang Duobing's expression froze. This was his vital point. He could only glare at Li Lianhua fiercely and reluctantly retracted his sword.

Li Lianhua chuckled and prepared to get up.

"Where do you want to go?"

"After eating, go back to your room and rest."

"No."

Fang Duobing's face tightened and he hurriedly stopped Li Lianhua. He was arranging Wangfu and Li'er to search Li Lianhua's room. If he let Li Lianhua go back at this time, she would be caught red-handed.

"What's the matter, Young Master Fang? Can't I just go back to my room and rest?"

"No, I still have something to ask you, you can't leave now."

"I really admire you, Young Master Fang. If you have anything else to ask, please ask now."

"me……"

Chapter 1082 Farewell to Li Lianhua, the Golden Yuan League Appears

In the dark prison of Yucheng, Zhou Chen and Yu Qiushuang slowly came to the depths of the prison.

This secret dungeon was built by Yu Qiushuang herself after she took office as the Lord of Yucheng. Only a few people were imprisoned in this dungeon, and no one except the guards outside the dungeon was allowed to approach without Yu Qiushuang's order.

Zhou Chen and Yu Qiu Shuang came to the dark cell together. When they saw the people imprisoned in the cell, they sighed softly.

There were a total of four people imprisoned in the prison, one person in one cell, and no one could get close to each other. The four people imprisoned were naturally the four people captured by Zhou Chen.

Yu Hongzhu, Yu Mulan, Zong Zheng Mingzhu and Yun Jiao.

After Yu Qiu Shuang made up her mind, Zhou Chen took action and captured the four people without anyone noticing. In order to prevent Yu Cheng's collusion with the Golden Yuan League from being exposed and attacked by the righteous martial arts world, he spread such rumors.

It was said that Yu Mulan lost money in gambling and became disloyal, so he teamed up with his lover Yun Jiao to rebel and harm Yu Hongzhu.

But in reality, the four of them were locked up in a dark cell by Yu Qiushuang.

Zhou Chen told Yu Qiu Shuang that killing them was the best way to deal with them, but Yu Qiu Shuang had just taken over Yu City and, mindful of their past friendship, she did not kill any of the four men, nor did she even torture them. It was Zhou Chen who broke their qi seas and destroyed their martial arts.

"Yu Qiu Shuang!"

As soon as he saw them coming down, Yu Hongzhu let out a shrill roar, grasped the cell bars tightly with both hands, and glared at Yu Qiu Shuang angrily.

Yu Qiu Shuang's expression remained unchanged. This was not her first time here and she had long been accustomed to Yu Hong Zhu's hatred.

"Sister, you were once my most respected sister, but what you did really disappointed me. You are not worthy of being my sister, not only because you secretly had an affair with Zongzheng Mingzhu, but also because you joined the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance and almost destroyed our Yucheng because of you."

Yu Hongzhu was filled with hatred: "What do you know? Yucheng only grew stronger in my hands, and all this was inseparable from the support of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance. If you capture me and cripple me, the people of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance will not let you go, and you will be the biggest sinner of Yucheng."

Yu Qiu Shuang sneered with disdain. If it was in the past, she might really be afraid, but during this period of time, she became the ruler of Yucheng, her mind grew very fast, and with Zhou Chen by her side to back her up, she was not afraid of the Jinyuan League.

"It's ridiculous to be controlled by talent. I have eliminated all your confidants in the city. After all, you are my sister. I will not kill you. You will live in this dark dungeon for the rest of your life."

Yu Hongzhu yelled angrily: "Yu Qiushuang, how dare you? I am your biological sister, you can't do this to me. You said I was controlled by others, but you were able to win because of this guy of unknown origin, didn't you know who he is? Don't you know that he has ulterior motives?"

Yu Qiu Shuang turned to look at Zhou Chen and said firmly, "He is different. Even if he has ulterior motives as you said, I am willing to believe him."

"Yu Qiu Shuang, you idiot, you waste..." Yu Hongzhu was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, but she could only rage helplessly.

Yu Qiu Shuang ignored her and walked to another cell where Zong Zheng Mingzhu was imprisoned.

"Qiu Shuang..."

"Shut up, snap!"

Yu Qiu Shuang did not give Zong Zheng Mingzhu a chance to speak, and directly whipped him with a whip, causing Zong Zheng Mingzhu's mouth to be full of blood.

"I feel sick just seeing you. I used to think you were a gentleman, but you're really disgusting."

Then they walked to the next cell, where Yu Mulan was imprisoned. Unlike Yu Hongzhu and Zong Zheng Mingzhu, he lay lying in the cell. After seeing Yu Qiu Shuang, he did not beg for mercy or say anything, as if he had already accepted his fate.

Yu Qiu Shuang still had feelings for Yu Hongzhu and Zong Zheng Mingzhu, but had no feelings for him at all. However, when she walked to the last cell, her expression became particularly complicated.

Yun Jiao was her best friend and best girlfriend, but even such a girlfriend was having an affair with her brother-in-law. Although the shock she felt was not as great as her sister and Zong Zheng Mingzhu's, it still made her feel sick and uncomfortable, so she did not let Yun Jiao go and locked her up here.

"Qiushuang, I'm sorry."

"I trusted you so much, but you treated me like this, Yun Jiao. I won't kill you, but I won't let you go either. Even if your Yun family comes looking for me, I won't let you go. So you should stay here and feel guilty for the rest of your life."

Yu Qiu Shuang's heart hardened and she no longer had any mercy on them. Not killing them was already her bottom line.

Zhou Chen walked up to Yu Hongzhu and asked, "Yu Hongzhu, let me ask you a question. When did the Medicine Demon from the Golden Yuan League come to Yucheng?"

Yu Hongzhu glared at Zhou Chen angrily: "I knew that the little bitch was bewitched by you. No matter who you are, if you offend the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance, the Saint and His Majesty, you will not have a good ending. You are all dead."

Zhou Chen shook his head, looking regretful: "If you were willing to cooperate, I could have given you a quick death, but now, you just have to suffer here slowly."

He came down with Yu Qiushuang today just on a whim. He wanted to know whether Di Feisheng came to Yucheng to recuperate after the battle of the East China Sea. But looking at Yu Hongzhu's situation, she herself probably didn't know the truth.

Yu Qiu Shuang followed Zhou Chen out of the dark prison.

"Is it really the great demon Di Feisheng of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance who is hiding behind our Jade City Mountain? If he knew that we had captured Yu Hongzhu, would he attack us?"

Zhou Chen comforted her, "Don't worry, your sister is just an insignificant little person in the Golden Yuan League. Di Feisheng won't take her seriously at all, let alone help her get revenge. Even if he really wants to do something, don't you still have me? Don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you."

Yu Qiu Shuang was touched and said crisply, "I'm not worried about myself, I'm worried about you. Is the person you're looking for Di Feisheng?"

Zhou Chen smiled and praised: "You have become smarter. Di Feisheng is indeed one of my goals, but don't worry, I know what I am doing and I won't joke about my own safety."

As soon as they came out of the dark cell, they heard the guards coming to report that a detective from Baichuan Court came to visit and said he wanted to meet the city lord.

Yu Qiu Shuang: "A detective from Baichuan Court? I don't know any detective from Baichuan Court. Why would he want to see me?"

The guard didn't dare to look at Yu Qiu Shuang and answered cautiously: "He said he came here to investigate the case of the former city lord."

Yu Qiu Shuang raised her eyebrows and snorted in dissatisfaction: "When will it be their turn to take care of the affairs of our Yucheng? Do you really think that they can take care of everything?"

Zhou Chen smiled and asked, "Is the detective's name Fang Duobing?"

The guard immediately replied, "In reply to your question, sir, the detective indeed called himself Mr. Sorrowful, and Fang was often ill. He was accompanied by a young and frail young man."

Zhou Chen said to Yu Qiu Shuang, "That's the Li Lianhua I told you about. Go and bring them to my yard and I'll entertain them."

Yu Qiu Shuang frowned and asked, "Is everything ok?"

"Don't worry, it's no problem. I will take care of it and won't let them find out anything."

"Ok."

Yu Qiu Shuang ordered the guards, "Take them to the master's side yard."

"Yes, City Lord."

Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing followed the guards all the way. Fang Duobing whispered to Li Lianhua, "What's wrong with them? Lord Yucheng wants to see us, why doesn't he come to the main hall? Where are they taking us? Are they going to harm us?"

Seeing Fang Duobing's alert look, Li Lianhua said helplessly, "If Lord Yucheng wanted to harm us, he would have sent people to do it directly instead of taking us around in such a long circle."

The guard took them to the side yard where Zhou Chen lived and said, "The city lord is inside, please come in."

Although Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing felt confused, they still walked into the side yard and met two people in the yard.

Fang Duobing had been on high alert, especially when he saw the young couple in the courtyard. He guessed that the woman in the black and red dress should be the city lord Yu Qiushuang. As for the man...

"Achen?"

Li Lianhua looked at Zhou Chen in astonishment: "Why are you here?"

After three years, Zhou Chen smiled happily when he saw Li Lianhua again.

"Long time no see, Xiaohua, you seem to be in good condition."

Li Lianhua excitedly walked to Zhou Chen and sat down, and asked curiously: "I went there not long ago and found that you had already come out of seclusion. I was thinking of finding time to look for you, but I didn't expect to meet you here. How come you are in Yucheng?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence. It's the same as your purpose."

Li Lianhua's eyes suddenly gleamed, and she asked, "You mean, I'm not looking in the wrong direction?"

"Well, the person you are looking for is indeed here." Zhou Chen nodded.

"So what are you doing now?"

Li Lianhua glanced at Yu Qiushuang, who was sitting next to Zhou Chen and had not spoken a word, with a slightly strange look in her eyes.
