Yan Shuzhu Comes Knocking Again

Shi Sheng was already someone who hated evil.

What he couldn't stand the most were those who relied on their status to commit evil deeds, even if they were just small fry.

"Let's go!"

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Ye Liuyun directly took Si Nan and Shi Sheng and left.

He didn't even have the thought of helping bury the people.

When Ye Liuyun returned home, there was no impact on the mansion.

It made sense. After all, he was a former third-rank official who suddenly died like that. The news would definitely be sealed off immediately.

Sheng Lanzhi would probably have to wait a while longer before she found out about her father's death.

Should he go and remind her?

"Does the master have something on his mind?"

Just as Ye Liuyun was deep in thought, Xing'er's curious voice came from the side.

"Nothing." Ye Liuyun, who had come back to his senses, still shook his head.

Forget it. Ever since he took Ye Liufeng's identity and came to this mansion, he hadn't even met that sister-in-law once.

It was better to continue not meeting her.

Anyway, it wouldn't be long before she found out the news herself.

"Go and have someone prepare a tub of hot water. I'll take a bath first!"

"Yes, Master!"

Seeing Ye Liuyun say this, Xing'er naturally didn't argue and nodded obediently.

By the next day.

Lu Quan didn't report for duty, but it didn't cause much of a stir within the Brocade Guard.

With the status of a Centurion, even if he didn't come to the Brocade Guard to report for duty for a few days, no one would say anything.

However.

When he made his move, he didn't hide the bodies. It probably wouldn't be long before they were discovered.

But that didn't matter.

As early as when he made his move, Ye Liuyun was already mentally prepared for this.

In the afternoon, Ye Liuyun took Shi Sheng and Si Nan to patrol the Imperial City. Basically, when there were no cases in the Brocade Guard, someone would be patrolling the Imperial City.

To ensure the safety of the Imperial City.

"It's you?"

But not long after they left, Ye Liuyun saw Lü Lan, who had been waiting for a long time.

Looking at this posture, she was probably waiting specifically for him.

"Centurion Ye, please don't misunderstand!"

Compared to the previous few times, Lü Lan's attitude now was surprisingly much friendlier.

Perhaps she also felt that Ye Liuyun was a very good person, which was why her attitude had changed so much.

Worried that Ye Liuyun might misunderstand something, Lü Lan even specifically explained.

"My Young Master has no other intentions, he just wants to invite Centurion Ye to drink together. But please rest assured, Centurion Ye, if you have something to do, we will absolutely not disturb you!"

Yan Shuzhu truly knew what it meant to treat worthy individuals with respect, and she showed extreme patience.

"..."

Even Ye Liuyun was a little surprised. Was he being tricked into a disadvantage?

Forget it, it's not like he had anything else to do anyway. Someone was treating, so why not go?

"Since you've said so, if I continue to refuse, it would be a bit too impolite. Don't worry, I will accept the invitation tonight."

Seeing Ye Liuyun agree, Lü Lan couldn't help but smile.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Lü Lan left.

"Are we getting free drinks again tonight?"

Shi Sheng, who hadn't spoken until now, looked over excitedly after Lü Lan left.

After spending time together and getting closer, Si Nan would habitually reply whenever Shi Sheng said something.

"They invited our lord, what does that have to do with you?"

"Don't tell me you don't want to go."

He glanced at Si Nan sideways with annoyance.

It sounded good in theory, but just say whether you want to go or not.

"Hehe!"

He chuckled happily and decisively looked at Ye Liuyun.

Whether they could go or not mainly depended on Ye Liuyun's attitude.

"If you want to go, then go together!"

Anyway, someone else was treating, and besides, Ye Liuyun didn't think this kind of thing was a big deal.

"Hehe, then thank you, my lord!"

After getting Ye Liuyun's affirmative reply, Si Nan and Shi Sheng both smiled happily.

At night, after changing out of his official uniform, he prepared to head to the Imperial Brothel.

No matter what day it was, the Imperial Brothel was always exceptionally lively.

"Brother Ye!"

Just as he walked in, Ye Liuyun heard a call from the second floor.

At this moment, Yan Shuzhu was sitting in a private room on the second floor, waving at Ye Liuyun and the others who had just entered. She was still dressed as a man.

However, since the other party liked this male attire, Ye Liuyun wouldn't deliberately expose anything.

"This wine is really good!"

As soon as he sat down, Shi Sheng poured himself a glass of wine.

There was a reason for it being expensive. The wine in this Imperial Brothel was completely different from the wine outside.

"Don't be so selfish, pour me a glass too."

Si Nan immediately handed over his wine glass.

Shi Sheng had just poured half a glass when he realized something and directly placed the wine pot in front of Si Nan.

"Pour it yourself. Are you expecting me to pour wine for you?"

It was as if he were Si Nan's younger brother.

"Tch!"

Rolling his eyes at Shi Sheng in annoyance, Si Nan didn't bother to care and took the opportunity to pour a glass for Ye Liuyun as well.

After drinking a few glasses, Yan Shuzhu spoke to Ye Liuyun in a familiar tone.

"It's been a long time, Brother Ye is still as heroic as before."

"Young Master Yan is too kind."

Holding the wine glass, he smiled indifferently. Such polite words were just for listening.

"Young Master Yan has invited me repeatedly. Let's talk about what it's really for. Otherwise, I truly have no idea."

Even though he could tell that the other party intended to recruit him.

But honestly, Ye Liuyun wouldn't be so hot-headed as to submit to someone who didn't even dare to reveal their true identity, even if this Yan Shuzhu didn't seem to be a great villain.

"Brother Ye is straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush. I want to ask Brother Ye to help me!"

Hearing this.

Si Nan and Shi Sheng's drinking movements paused. After exchanging glances, they tacitly put down their wine glasses and looked at Ye Liuyun in unison.

It was an expected answer, and Ye Liuyun wasn't surprised, just a little amused.

"Help who?"

"Naturally, help me?" Yan Shuzhu was a little strange. Was what she said not clear enough?

"Then who are you?"

As he said this, a meaningful smile clearly appeared at the corner of Ye Liuyun's mouth.

After setting down his wine cup, he leaned slightly forward and looked at Yan Shuzhu before him.

"To be honest, I was born with a keen sense of smell and a natural perception for scents. Although you've disguised yourself well, the scent of a man and a woman is something you cannot conceal."

"I don't even know who you are, and you want me to help you? How do I know you don't want me to help you plot rebellion and usurp the throne?"

All Ye Liuyun knew right now was that the Yan Shuzhu before him was someone from the imperial family.

He knew nothing else.

You want me to help you just with an empty promise?
