Gran Medicina China - Capítulo 83
He didn't move.
After a moment of silence, he looked at her and smiled slightly: "I have some things to attend to, so I won't go. I just saw Brother He in the room. If you want to find Brother Li, you might as well ask him."
.
He Bi was indeed in the room, sitting leisurely in a chair, holding a cup of fragrant tea in one hand, while his other hand remained on the hilt of his sword at his waist, his whole body sitting upright.
Upon seeing the two, his cold and handsome face actually raised an eyebrow.
For the first time ever, he looked at Yang Nianqing and spoke first: "You've come at the right time, I've been looking for you."
Yang Nianqing was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes at him, walked over and sat down: "Hmph... what do you want from me? You just casually threw me into the air, and I haven't even settled accounts with you yet. How dare you? Is this how you treat a friend!"
He Bi frowned: "You can lose friends too."
"What?" Yang Nianqing jumped up, pointing at his cool, hooked nose. "Do you know how dangerous that is? What if Li You hadn't caught me? Would I have survived if I had fallen?"
He Bi glanced at her and said, "You can throw me away too."
Throw me at you?
Yang Nianqing stared blankly, speechless.
Do you think I'm reluctant to part with you? If I could throw you away, I would have thrown you to the sky hundreds of times over.
“You’re still standing here perfectly fine,” He Bi said disdainfully. “If Old Li can’t even handle you, he should really change his name.”
The tragedy of the weak lies in pretending to be magnanimous even when they have been bullied: "Forget it, for the sake of you saving Brother Nangong, I will be generous and not hold it against you."
As she spoke, she winked at Nangong Xue and changed the subject: "Where are we going now?"
"Investigate the case."
"What?" she asked, bewildered. "Wasn't it already over? What new case is there?"
He Bi looked at Nangong Xue and asked, "You think it's all over too?"
Nangong Xue remained silent.
Yang Nianqing was surprised: "Madam Ye has already admitted that she killed everyone. Since she has made up her mind to commit suicide, there is no need for her to lie anymore."
"Acknowledgment does not necessarily mean the end."
.
"First, don't forget Hei Silang. He owes the murderer a favor. What would he owe Madam Ye?"
Yang Nianqing was stunned.
He Bi continued, "Secondly, even with Lao Li's lightness skills, it would be difficult to place the corpse in Nangong Villa without anyone noticing, let alone her? Nangong Villa is heavily guarded and has many eyes and ears, so how did she manage to do it?"
“Thirdly, there is the death of Madam Leng,” Nangong Xue smiled. “If it really was Madam Ye, how could Madam Leng not be on guard?” At that time, Madam Ye was already a suspect, and Madam Leng probably noticed and took precautions even before she got close.
He Bi frowned: "Fourth, why did she destroy the body?" This was also a question that everyone had been trying to figure out. Since they already knew that the cause of death was the Ten Thousand Poisons Blood Palm, why would the murderer go to the trouble of destroying Zhang Mingchu with incineration water and burning Chu Sheng and his wife, Han Ren? Could there really be an important clue on the body that hadn't been found yet?
Who was it that came to see Madam Ye the night before Master Tang disappeared? The matter of Tao Men was a secret of the imperial court. Even someone of He Bi's status would have to spend a lot of effort to find out who the informant was. How did Madam Ye know about it?
“A life for a life. Although I have done right by Brother Tao, I have wronged him. I was already prepared to go with him.” Since she had no intention of denying her crime and living on, why would she go to such lengths to kill someone to cover it up and prevent others from investigating the case?
There is only one explanation—
There's someone else behind the scenes.
Why did Madam Ye refuse to expose him until her death? Who in the martial world could instill such fear in her? He Bi and others were all top-tier figures. She was a smart woman; if she was worried about her children, she would never be coerced into doing something so foolish.
She's protecting him. (7f)
.
He Bi's eyes flickered: "Now we can be sure that, in addition to the Myriad Poison Blood Palm, there must be another important clue left on those corpses."
Yang Nianqing said excitedly, "This clue must be directly related to this person's identity, so he had to destroy the body. Even if we investigate, we can only trace it back to Madam Ye based on the Ten Thousand Poison Blood Palm technique. He knows that Madam Ye will protect him!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, she became frustrated again: "But where can we find this clue now? Madam Ye is dead, and her body has been destroyed..."
silence.
She looked up: "Does Li You know?"
He Bi said, "I was just about to discuss this with him."
Yang Nianqing glared: "Then why aren't you going to go find it?"
He Bi glanced at her: "I also want to find him and bring him back as soon as possible, but I won't go to that place."
"where?"
"Ruyu Tower".
.
Damn! That pervert!
Yang Nianqing was furious. He went to see his old lover? She should never have trusted this playboy. He's a liar, and she even let him take advantage of her!
Nangong Xue clearly hadn't expected this answer, and frowned: "I suppose Brother Li is going to..."
He Bi interrupted him: "He went to find Miss Jiang, and he may not be back today."
Not coming back today? That means... that bastard!
Yang Nianqing was stunned for a long time, and a mix of emotions welled up in her heart. She couldn't sit still any longer and stood up nonchalantly: "You guys talk first, I'm going out for a walk."
"It would be best to call Old Li back quickly."
Whether he comes back or not is none of my business!
As he watched her walk out the door without looking back, a look of amusement returned to his cold, handsome face.
Nangong Xue shook her head: "Brother He..."
He Bi remained unfazed: "I just wanted to see if she dared to go in and drag Old Li out."
Nangong Xue fell silent, gazing out the door, her gentle expression now tinged with complexity.
He Bi suddenly looked at him and said, "Old Li is also your friend."
A moment of silence.
Nangong Xue smiled slightly: "I know."
.
Like a jade tower.
Standing outside the gate, one could vaguely see red and green shadows constantly moving around. Although it was broad daylight, the atmosphere inside was still ambiguous and romantic.
I, Yang Nianqing, was only here to tell him about the case. There's no reason for me to be jealous. I should have realized that this playboy only treats love as a game. I should at least dump him first, otherwise I'll really have no dignity left. Be more dashing and generous, don't let people treat you like a fool! I don't want you!
After repeating these words to herself countless times, Yang Nianqing took a deep breath and was about to step inside when the madam at the door stopped her with a strange expression.
"Young lady, women are not allowed to enter our area."
Can't go in? Forgot to change into men's clothes...
Yang Nianqing forced a smile and said, "Then could you please go in and call someone for me?"
The madam was taken aback: "Looking for someone?"
Yang Nianqing glanced inside, impatiently saying, "Yes, he's here to see Miss Jiang."
Hearing that she knew Jianghu Yao, the madam stared at her for a moment before immediately plastering a smile on her face—clothes make the man, and although Yang Nianqing had no money, the quality of her clothes was excellent.
"Are you referring to that young master Li, young lady?"
Yang Nianqing nodded hurriedly: "It's him. Could you please ask him to come out for me? I have something urgent to discuss with him."
The madam hesitated: "This..."
The owner of Ruyulou is a legendary figure in the martial arts world. Who would dare to disturb their boss's date for no reason?
"Are you going or not? If not, I'll go in and find it myself!" she said impatiently.
Yang Nianqing wasn't the only one skilled in the art of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Seeing her fierce expression, the madam was first startled, then frightened, and hurriedly nodded and slipped inside.
"I'll go check on her, young lady, please wait a moment..."
.
A moment later, the madam came out again, her smile somewhat forced: "Young Master Li said he has some things to attend to and asked the young lady to go back first."
Is something the matter?
What would happen if a playboy went to a place like this? Would every woman he met end up watching him fall into the arms of another? In ancient times, men often had multiple wives and concubines, so perhaps visiting brothels wasn't considered a big deal. Yang Nianqing stood there stunned for a long time, feeling a mix of bitterness, anger, and resentment. If he had said such a thing, was everything before really a lie?
My tofu isn't that delicious either!
"Go and call him again, and tell him I have something urgent to do and just need to come out for a moment."
The madam shook her head: "Miss, you should go back first."
go back?
Yang Nianqing snorted coldly, then suddenly looked into the doorway and said, "You, surnamed Li, come out here!"
.
Inside the door, on the street, a moment of quiet.
A carriage creaked past, and the people inside probably found it strange that the street had suddenly become so quiet. So they lifted the curtain to take a look.
After the carriage passed, the street became lively again, and more people gathered around.
The madam panicked immediately.
"This... young lady..." Realizing something was amiss, she quickly changed her words, "Madam..."
"let!"
"No, no, that won't do. How can you, Madam, go into such a place?" In her haste, the madam even changed her form of address to something more polite.
"Can't go in? This old lady has been here once before, and I even had sex with your boss!" Yang Nianqing ignored her and tried to barge inside, just then, a magnetic voice rang out—
"What do you want with me?"
.
A white figure appeared at the doorway, its colors still bright and flamboyant. Beneath long eyelashes, a pair of bright eyes were full of smiles as they gazed at her.
