The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun
Page 39
Yue Buqun pondered for a moment.
“In that case, let Liang Fa, Da You, Gen Ming and the others bring a few fellow disciples to go with you.”
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, “Okay.”
Immediately, several Huashan disciples who still had strength left followed Jiang Ning to the Iron Palm Sect’s residence.
“Who are you? What are you doing here in my Iron Palm Sect? Leave now!”
At the main gate, two sturdy men guarding the gate felt something was wrong when they saw the aggressive Huashan disciples and hurriedly shouted to stop them.
Bang!
Jiang Ning, who was walking in front, immediately kicked him aside and walked straight into the camp.
“do not move!”
The man tried to stand up, but a Huashan disciple behind him put his sword to his throat.
After a while.
In the open space of the Iron Palm Sect, in front of Jiang Ning and the Huashan disciples, there were only a dozen or so Iron Palm Sect members who were staying in the base, and a dozen or so maids.
Hu Anyu had no family. The older maids said that Hu Anyu’s wife had died of illness and that his daughter died at the age of three. He only had a few concubines, but those concubines were abandoned after a few years when they grew old and lost their looks. So now there are only people like them in the Iron Palm Sect.
When Hu Anyu heard that someone was causing trouble and that the people who were causing trouble were disciples of Mount Hua, he took all his disciples with him and only left two people to guard the gate and these maids.
“Brother, we have searched everywhere. All the people are here. No one has escaped.”
A Huashan disciple ran over from not far away and said to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning nodded.
“Thank you for your hard work, brother.”
“what is this.”
The Huashan disciple laughed.
Jiang Ning looked at these people and frowned slightly. The maid he had seen before was not there.
Jiang Ning stepped forward and said, “Hu Anyu coerced a decent girl into prostitution. He has been killed by our Huashan Sect. From today on, the Iron Sect will no longer exist.”
“what?”
Hearing these words, all these people were shocked.
The Iron Palm Sect has extensive roots in Xiangyang Prefecture, and Hu Anyu has experienced many years here. It can be said that he has deep roots and is a local tyrant. The moment they heard Jiang Ning’s words, their first reaction was disbelief.
However, they hesitated when they saw the other party’s blood, the blood-stained sword, and the strong bloody smell in their faces.
“From today on, the Iron Palm will no longer exist, and you.”
Jiang Ning glanced at these people and continued, “For those of you who have not participated in oppressing the people, Huashan Sect will let you go. However, if you have caused the people of Xiangyang City to lose their homes and families, your fate will be the same as Hu Anyu’s.”
Jiang Ning’s eyes were cold. When he glanced at these people, they didn’t dare to look at Jiang Ning and lowered their heads.
After pausing for a while and waiting for them to digest everything, Jiang Ning came to the maids he had met during the day.
Seeing him coming, the maids looked a little scared and lowered their heads, not daring to look.
Jiang Ning asked one of the maids, “Wasn’t there another maid who brought tea to the lobby with you today? Where is she?”
The maid who was asked the question looked a little confused.
“We don’t know her.”
A weak voice was heard from the other side; it was another maid speaking.
Chapter 54: Dark Room
Chapter 54: Darkroom
When Jiang Ning looked in the direction of the sound, the maid who had spoken earlier lowered her head in fear.
Jiang Ning looked at the maids and asked, “Is she new?”
“That should be the case. The mansion will go out and recruit maids every once in a while.”
A maid replied.
Jiang Ning asked again: “When did she enter the mansion?”
The maids also looked a little confused: “We don’t know. We don’t know when she came.”
Jiang Ning frowned slightly and asked, “Where is she now?”
“I don’t know. We won’t see her after we get out.”
After hearing this, Jiang Ning said nothing more.
There must be something wrong with the missing maid, but now that she has disappeared, there are no clues.
“She, she seems to be our master’s guest.”
At this moment, the maid who had spoken before spoke again.
guest?
Jiang Ning’s eyes flashed with a hint of thought, he turned to look at her and asked, “Tell me in detail.”
“Yes.”
Hearing Jiang Ning’s question, the maid shrank her head in fear, and then after thinking carefully, she said, “I don’t know when she arrived, but three days ago when I was delivering tea to the master’s study, I found a woman in the study. The master seemed very polite to her. I didn’t dare to look at her at the time, but when I left, I accidentally glanced at her. She had a veil on her face, revealing only a pair of eyes. Those eyes were very beautiful, so I remembered them, and I haven’t seen her since then.”
“Today, when the master asked us to serve tea, she suddenly appeared again, also wearing a maid’s clothes. I didn’t think of it at the time, but now that I think of it, I realize that her eyes are very similar to the person I saw in the master’s study.”
Jiang Ning frowned slightly when he heard this and asked, “Then do you know her name?”
The maid shook her head blankly.
“what.”
After she finished speaking, the maid beside her seemed to think of something: “I seem to have seen that veiled girl. One time, I accidentally ran into the young master and the girl talking. I couldn’t hear what they said, but the young master seemed to call her mother-in-law.”
“I was puzzled at the time. She didn’t look old to me, and her hair was black, so why did the young master call her grandma?”
“Some time ago, when I was cleaning the study, I saw a pressed letter on the master’s desk. The words ‘mother-in-law’ were written on the envelope. I was surprised at the time. How could the master have a mother? But later I forgot about it. Now when I heard Xiaoyue talk about it, I remembered that it should be written by that girl to the master.”
Jiang Ning’s eyes narrowed and he looked directly at her: “Where is the letter?”
Seeing Jiang Ning looking over, the maid shrank her head timidly and whispered, “It should be in the study. The master usually puts the letters he writes to his friends and receives in the bookcase.”
Hearing this, Jiang Ning turned to look at Liang Fa, who was the one who had just searched the study.
Liang Fa said blankly: “I did find some letters in the study, but they were all greetings from Hu Anyu and some friends. I didn’t see any letters signed by my mother-in-law.”
Liang Faren is an honest man and usually very careful. If he didn’t find it, then it doesn’t exist.
Jiang Ning looked at the other Huashan disciples and asked, “Fellow disciples, have you found any letters in other rooms? Especially in Hu Anyu and Hu Shi’s rooms.”
“No.”
“never seen it.”
Lu Dayou, Gao Genming and other Huashan disciples all shook their heads and said.
All they found were some banknotes and house deeds.
Jiang Ning frowned and said nothing when he heard this.
At this time, the maid who had been there before said, “Maybe it’s in the dark room in the study?”
Jiang Ning turned to look at her: “Do you know there is a dark room in the study?”
The maid nodded and said, “I usually clean the master’s study. One time, when I was cleaning the bookcase, I fell and accidentally touched an antique on it. The antique was actually connected to the bookcase. After I touched it, the bookcase turned into the wall, and there was a passage inside.”
“I was terrified at the time, afraid that the master would kill me if he discovered some secret, so I quickly tried to turn the antique, and the bookcase returned to its original state. After cleaning it, I ran away.”
Jiang Ning said directly: “Take me to the study to find the dark room.”
Jiang Ning asked Liang Fa and the others to continue watching over the others, while he asked the maid to lead the way.
On the way, Jiang Ning kept thinking about the identity of the mysterious girl. The maid led the way in front, her expression a little hesitant and afraid, but in the end she couldn’t help but speak.
“Will you kill us?”
There was a hint of panic in his tone.
Jiang Ning looked up at her and said, “As long as you don’t harm the people, there will be no problem.”
After hearing this, the maid felt relieved. The next second, she asked, “Is Huashan Sect the sect that helps us and protects us from being bullied?”
There was curiosity in his eyes.
Jiang Ning thought about it and nodded.
The maid’s eyes lit up a little: “Last month, Wu Yong borrowed twenty cents from me and didn’t return it. Can you help me get it back?”
“hehe.”
Jiang Ning couldn’t help laughing and nodded.
“can.”
Although no one knew why Jiang Ning was laughing, the murderous aura on his body dissipated a lot with his laugh, and he didn’t seem so scary in the eyes of the maid.
Arriving at the study, the maid walked towards the bookcase, grabbed a vase on the second layer of the bookcase with both hands and turned it to the side. The bookcase suddenly turned, and an entrance to a dark room appeared in front of Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning didn’t waste any time and walked into the dark room with sword in hand.
The darkroom was not very spacious, about the size of a normal bedroom. It was very simple inside, with nothing in it except a desk in the middle.
There was a box on the desk.
Jiang Ning came to the desk. There was a box on the desk that was more than a foot long and locked. He didn’t know what was inside. Jiang Ning looked at the lock on the box, inserted the sword directly into it, turned it hard, and broke the lock with a click. Then he raised the tip of the sword and inserted it into the gap of the box and lifted it up. The box was opened, and there was a thick stack of silver bills inside, and some envelopes next to it. The word “mother-in-law” was written on the surface of the envelope.
These are letters written by Hu Anyu.
Jiang Ning was not very interested in these banknotes. He picked up the envelopes and opened them to check them, but the contents inside the envelopes made his eyes freeze.
“Saint aunt?”
Looking at the last words on the envelope, Hu Anyu called the girl a saint.
And there is only one person in the world who is called the Saint Lady.
