Knowing the whereabouts of Wengui and Wuqiang, they could now investigate the events of that year based on these clues.

Their trip here was definitely worth it!

“Guests, goods on one side, payment on the other. 1,000 silver taels on the table will do.”

Behind the black curtain, the person paused and continued, “If any of you are dissatisfied with this information, you can add another 1,000 silver taels. The Pavilion of Six Paths and Eight Directions will continue the investigation. Please leave an address, and when there is news, it will be delivered. If nothing is found, 500 taels will be refunded!”

Liu Shimei was surprised: It seemed like this service was quite thoughtful, similar to the elaborate schemes modern people use to make money. Money could indeed be easily earned!

Although Liang Yi could investigate on his own, he believed that the information the Pavilion of Six Paths and Eight Directions could find would be more reliable and safer than what he could discover himself.

He also needed to investigate on his own, but 1,000 silver taels was not an amount he couldn’t afford.

“Alright, I agree!”

He immediately took out two pieces of 1,000 silver tael notes and pressed them onto the table with a teacup.

In Liu Shimei’s eyes: Extravagance = Profligacy!

In Huangfu Lingyao’s eyes: He envied the fact that he could spend money on his wife so openly and boldly for a long time! He was incredibly jealous!

The table slowly descended, and the eight-sided traditional table closed.

Thought this matter was over, but unexpectedly, the person behind the scenes chuckled darkly and said, “Considering Master Liang’s generosity, I might as well share another piece of news!”

Liu Shimei and Liang Yi exchanged a glance, surprised, and looked toward the black curtain. She asked, “What news?”

The person behind the scenes continued, “Eldest Miss Liu, I believe you’re aware that the person who sent you a grand gift on the opening day of Fusheng Pavilion was Du Gong from the Zheng Medicine Hall, correct?”

“Correct,” Liu Shimei replied.

The person went on, “So, the news I have for you is that Du Gong’s true master is not the Zheng Medical Hall! My pavilion has only discovered this much; we still don’t know who his real master is. But… Eldest Young Miss Liu, please be extremely cautious in your future actions.” fre ewebnovel.com

Liu Shimei was shocked!

Liang Yi was equally surprised. “Du Gong has another master? So, if we deal with Du Gong, the Zheng Medical Hall won’t hold a grudge, meaning… there will be another group coming after us?”

As for who this master was, even Pavilion of Six Paths and Eight Directions had no information!

But the person behind the scenes stopped at this point. “Please leave, everyone. Once you exit this stone room and follow the lit path, you can leave.”

With a rumbling sound, the stone door of the room opened. Liu Shimei had to help Huangfu Lingyao stand up. “We don’t have a clue about these two matters right now. Let’s go back and read this booklet carefully.”

Liang Yi nodded. “Agreed, let’s leave first.”

The three of them exited the stone door and followed the lit path. After walking for a while, they found themselves at another side door of the Yong’an Inn!

Meaning, they were still inside the inn!

“Sister, where are we going?” Liang Yi turned to ask.

“To Fusheng Pavilion,” Liu Shimei answered.

It was quite far to enter the inner city from here, and going from the west market to the south city was also a considerable distance.

“In my opinion, why not just stay here?” Liang Yi, taking the lead, suggested, “We’ve been running around wasting time. How about we get a elegant room here at the Yong’an Inn and discuss matters directly inside?”

Seeing the sense in his suggestion and tired of running around, Liu Shimei agreed.

Liang Yi was adept at these things and also a bit extravagant. He got a room, had the innkeeper prepare tea and snacks, surveyed the surroundings, and then they began discussing their business.

Huangfu Lingyao followed Liu Shimei’s lead, sitting beside her, thinking, ‘Is it easy for me?’
