Chapter 102 Bait (Second update)

"Who is it?" Huajiao didn't expect Yu Taiqing to find out so quickly.

Zhou Ling said: "Superintendent Yu interrogated the people present on that day and found out that it was sent by Xiao Qiukui."

Xiao Qiukui?

Huajiao thought for a while and finally remembered who she was.

The granddaughter of Xiao Yong, Ningping Bo, and the niece of Xiao Sujun.

At the flower banquet, Huajiao once met Xiao Sujun in the flower shed, but he didn't pay much attention to her niece.

Xiao Sujun was famous in Lan'an City for his chess skills, and Yin Niang, the chess official at Fengyang Tower, had always wanted to play chess with her. As for her niece Xiao Qiukui, she was unknown before the flower banquet.

Everyone thought that the one who won the title of the best player in chess would definitely be her legitimate daughter Xue Jin, but they did not expect that Xue Jin lost at the beginning, but Xiao Qiukui won in the end and finally won the title of the best player in chess.

Everyone calls her niece Xiao Gu.

If Kong Yu's collar was given to her as a gift, then the person who the waiter at Jixiang Pavilion said bought the collar was Xiao Qiukui.

"Did she tell me why she wanted to give her a Kong Yu necklace?" Huajiao asked doubtfully.

Zhou Ling said: "According to Xiao Qiukui, during the flower banquet, her brother Xiao Xiazhu was interested in Kong Yu, so he asked her to give Kong Yu a necklace as a token of love. She did not expect that Kong Yu would be missing.

She was also extremely sad when something unexpected happened."

Huajiao frowned and said, "I can't find anything wrong with what she said. It makes perfect sense."

The flower banquet was originally a banquet to connect young men and young ladies in Lang'an City.

Zhou Ling nodded: "Doctor Yu only said that there was something fishy about Kong Yu's death, and he couldn't let go of any clues. That's why he interrogated her, and then let her go. I looked at Governor Yu feeling a little helpless."

Huajiao smiled: "He won't be helpless. He wants to take a long-term approach to catch big fish."

Zhou Ling said doubtfully: "Huh?"

"Just wait." Huajiao said with a smile.

If she and Yu Taiqing had never been to Jixiang Pavilion and didn't know that the jade in the necklace had been replaced by red beads, they might not doubt Xiao Qiukui's story.

"Zhou Ling, you don't need to follow me for the next two days. You can go and guard outside the Xiao Mansion. Whether it's Xiao Qiukui or her brother Xiao Xiazhu, if you see them going out, follow them immediately."

Zhou Ling hesitated and said: "But, Governor Yu sent me to protect you."

Hua Jiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh, so you quit the Moon Alliance? Will you only listen to Governor Yu's words in the future?"

Zhou Ling hurriedly said: "Alliance Leader, I am a member of the Alliance with the Moon. When I entered the Tianshu Division, I followed the order of the Alliance Leader. Naturally, I must listen to the Alliance Leader's instructions first."

Huajiao smiled: "In the future, you must never call me the leader of the alliance, just call me Sister.

It rained continuously for several days, and the weather finally cleared up.

There has been no news from Zhou Ling's side, but something has happened from Gongshu Yu's side.

Originally, Huajiao arranged for Tang Ning to protect Cui Lanshu, and Gongshuyu to protect Zheng Min. But Gongshuyu suddenly lost his temper and gave up his business.

Huajiao had no choice but to rush to Pinmoxuan and found out what had happened.

In order to protect Zheng Min, Gongshuyu disguised himself as a maid and stayed with Zheng Min.

That day she overheard a conversation between Huajiao's uncle Zheng Shan and her aunt Wang, and was so angry that she returned to Pinmoxuan that day.

According to Gongshu Yu, Zheng Shan heard that Hua Jiao had played the pipa at the Peony Banquet, and he was pretty good at it. Therefore, he discussed with the Wang family and asked the servants of the mansion to go out and tell them that Hua Jiao's piano skills had been in Zheng since he was a child.

As for Zheng Min, if he hadn't broken the strings by mistake this time, the piano would never have fallen on Zheng Min's head.

Hearing this, Huajiao raised a cool smile on his lips: "What they said is right. My piano skills are indeed superior to Zheng Min's."

Zhang Hui snorted coldly and said, "It's okay if we don't do this job."

Huajiao smiled softly, and a hint of sharpness flashed through his clear eyes: "Yu'er is showing his temper, why are you doing the same? We still have to earn some silver. As for the Zheng Mansion, Yu'er, don't go there.

Let El act as a guard."

Once Gongshuyu gets emotional, he will inevitably slack off.

Gongshuyu was a little anxious: "Leader, why are they protecting Zheng Min when they harm you like this? These cruel people who ignore family ties should be killed by monsters. I'm afraid it's spread all over Lan'an City now. Qin Jue should be the one like you."

There are rumors that if the monster still wants to harm people, it might regard the leader as the next one."

Huajiao smiled: "It's so good, I'm just afraid the monster won't come."

Gongshu Yu said anxiously: "Then the leader of the alliance has become a bait?"

"Bait?" Huajiao thought thoughtfully, "I heard from Zhou Ling that the emperor gave Tianshu Division one month to capture the monster. Now more than half a month has passed. The most anxious person now is the commander of Tianshu Division.

He Dujian. So, if I serve as bait to capture monsters, do they owe me a favor?"

Gongshuyu looked at the corner of the painting in shock: "Leader, are you really going to be a bait?"

Huajiao nodded.

Zhang Hui said with some worry: "Leader, the monsters this time are no better than before. No one knows what kind of monster they are, where they came from, and how they escaped. If it's still like last time, it's an ancient evil monster. I'm afraid, Leader

There will also be danger."

Hua Jiao stood up, a complex light shining in his clear eyes.

The sunlight filtered through the half-open window, casting half light and half shadow on her body.

A cold smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Brother Zhang, I'm just afraid that the demon that comes is not evil enough. It'd better be an ancient evil demon transformed into a snake."

The memory of Auntie's last moments before her death reappeared in her mind. Fierce flames burned her body, causing pain all over her body. Through the flames, she saw a giant rolling shadow, and the ground seemed to have been scratched in an instant, leaving deep ravines.

Zhang Hui knew that he could not persuade him, so he said to Gong Shuyu: "From today on, you will pretend to be the maid of the alliance leader, and we will be inseparable."
