C32 A body hanging from a beam

Mo Xian turned sideways, and the man walked straight up to the front desk and stared at Jiang Huaige, suddenly throwing down a silver tael.

"Give me the best room!"

It turned out to be a hotel.

Jiang Huaige's face did not change as she kept the money.

He took out another sign and handed it to him. The number one on the fifth floor was written on it.

The man left quickly.

The banquet was extremely noisy, and people kept on cheering for Jiang Huaige to come and drink with them.

Mo Xian thought, this woman was truly amazing. She had been surrounded by a group of strangers men for so long, yet she was completely fine.

"How should I address you, young master?"

"Mo Xian." Mo Xian changed the pronunciation.

"Young Master Mo, I'm sorry, the last room was taken by the customer just now. Would you mind staying in the second floor for the second floor?" Although Jiang Huaige said that he was sorry, his expression did not change.

Mo Xian didn't care, it didn't matter where she lived, she didn't have that much money to buy a room.

"How much silver?"

"It's up to you." Jiang Huaige smiled.

No wonder she accepted all the money the man gave her.

Mo Xian reckoned that he would pay as much as his room was worth.

A clever shop waiter brought Mo Xian up, and when Mo Xian went to take a look at the rooms, it was pretty clean. But she finally knew why Jiang Huaige said he was sorry. The position of the room made it very cold and humid.

Mo Xian looked at it, placed the simple change of clothes on the bed, then went down to eat. During these three days, she had practically been on the carriage all day, eating so much that she wanted to puke.

When he went down, there were eight empty tables. A silent couple had finished eating and had just left. Mo Xian sat down, and waiter immediately came over to clean it up.

"What did you eat?" It was Jiang Huaige himself who came over to greet him.

Mo Xian looked at the menu and ordered a few vegetables. She felt that this place would not have any fresh meat. And looking at the fat that the few men at the table next to them were eating, the oil that flowed out made Mo Xian lose his appetite in an instant.

"Don't you want to try the most famous Red Braised Meat in our restaurant?"

"No, thank you." Mo Xian rejected him.

Jiang Huaige did not recommend anymore, and took the menu out to the kitchen to place the orders.

Following that, Mo Xian sat on the side like a forgotten person. She was eating vegetables, no one knew what seasonings were placed inside, the taste was not bad, and she also ate a little too much rice.

She had been paying attention to the movements in her surroundings the entire time and felt that this inn was a little too lively.

Aside from the big man's table, there was also a table full of siblings, two men and two women, an elderly couple, and a single girl. The remaining two tables were occupied by a man. One of them wore a bamboo hat, while the other wore a white robe.

Mo Xian immediately thought of Qi Huaizhao. If it really was him, then it would be weird, how could he meet him anywhere.

She discovered a phenomenon. There wasn't even a child here.

Usually, when staying in a shop, there would always be some rascals causing trouble, but Penglai Inn did not notice them.

Mo Xian did not think too much. After she finished eating, she stood up first and wanted to go back upstairs. However, the sturdy man next door started to clamor at the table, and held onto the little girl tightly.

"Little girl, you want to run after dirtying big brother's clothes?"

"I'm sorry, sir!" The little girl hurriedly apologized with a panicked expression on her face. The big smiles on the four men's faces became even more pronounced.

Mo Xian subconsciously looked at the counter, not knowing where Jiang Huaige had gone, only to see a sturdy man with a knife scar on his face touching her waist.

She looked to be around 15 or 16 years old, and it was precisely in her prime. These beasts actually dared to attack her?

Mo Xian initially did not want to cause trouble, but she could not watch any longer. Just as she was about to step forward, someone was faster than her. The man wearing the bamboo hat whipped his waist, and a deep red line appeared on the sturdy knife scar's arm.

"Good boy, if you want to be like others and act like the leader, then you better consider yourself!" When the other three muscular men heard this, they slapped the table and threw the wooden stools under their butts at the bamboo hat man.

The bamboo hat man's body didn't move. He only moved to the side a few times, perfectly avoiding all the wooden chairs.

The brawny men became even angrier. "Shua!" They pulled out the big sabers at their waists. With one glance, they looked like they were travelling in the martial arts world.

The bamboo hat man also pulled out a sharp flexible sword from his back. Both sides had weapons, so neither of them dared to act rashly.

"Aren't we all drinking? "Why are they fighting?" A gentle, beautiful and gentle female voice came out. Jiang Huaige came.

The sturdy knife scar with an injured hand sat on the chair and looked at Jiang Huaige, "Boss Jiang, what do you think we should do? This person injured me first, look, can I cripple one of his hands accordingly?"

"Of course not." Jiang Huaige's voice was soft and weak, but it carried a hint of a threat.

The sturdy knife scar seemed to be afraid of Jiang Huaige, her tone was not as harsh as before, "Then what does Boss Jiang want to do?"

"You were the one who wanted to molest me first, and now the villain is going to sue first?" A youth's voice sounded.

When Mo Xian looked at it, he saw that it was a sibling's table. The elder brother and younger sister among them pulled on his arm worriedly, signalling him to stop talking.

The teenager was born unafraid of tigers and had a face full of righteousness, which Mo Xian liked very much. The world needs someone who doesn't fear power and dares to point out the truth.

The other three men were enraged. They wanted to charge over and teach that youth a lesson.

However, with just a glance, Jiang Huaige and the rest stopped in their tracks.

"As I say." Jiang Huaige's voice was gentle, it was very seductive, "I feel that Young Noble should drink a cup of wine with the other party, you're just a wanderer, why would you want to become enemies?"

Her voice seemed magical, convincing.

The knife scar warrior was startled, after pondering for a moment, he picked up the wine cup in front of him, since he had given him face first, even if the bamboo hat man was not willing, he would still hold it up with a frown.

A fight was avoided just like that, Mo Xian felt that Jiang Huaige was not simple, with just a few words, he was able to end a fight that was ready to erupt.

She had also observed the reaction of the other tables earlier. There were quite a few tables full of normal people, so she was naturally afraid. Only the white-robed man was still calmly sipping his tea.

As the night deepened, the lively atmosphere on the first floor was no longer there. Everyone returned to their rooms.

Mo Xian felt that although the room was a little cold, the blanket was still warm. She had not slept soundly in the carriage for three days, just in case she needed to sleep soundly. As soon as she touched the bed, she fell asleep.

The next day, Mo Xian was awoken by a "dead man" yelling.

She rolled out of bed like a carp, put on her cap, and hurried out of the hall.

Who died?

A few people appeared in her mind.

Almost everyone in Penglai Inn had woken up, and the sky had just started to brighten, causing everyone's expression to turn ugly.

Firstly, because Qing Meng had been disturbed, and secondly, because someone had died at the place where he lived, anyone would panic.

He heard that the dead person was in the Sky No. 1 Room on the third floor, and that the dead person was one of the four muscular men from the knife scar. When the waiter went to deliver tea in the morning, he opened the door and discovered that there was only a crack in the door, he wanted to see what was happening inside, but he did not know, and pissed his pants due to fright.

A headless corpse was hanging behind the door. His position matched the pair of bloodshot eyes that were unable to close their eyes even after death.

Everyone was so frightened that they lost half their lives. This scream woke everyone up.

Jiang Huaige and the other three muscular men rushed over first. When they heard about the people who went in, they all threw up, including Jiang Huaige.

This was something that Mo Xian did not expect, Jiang Huaige saw that whatever happened, she would not panic at all. A mere dead person, actually made her react so drastically?

Mo Xian was curious, this man had to die for sure.

Out of curiosity, she went to the scene. The door on the third floor was open, and the body that was originally hanging had been laid down, with its head returned to its original position. The beam above was stained with dark red blood, making it look extremely terrifying.

Upon entering, the dense stench of blood immediately assaulted his nose, it was truly smelly. If not for Mo Xian who found it strange, he would have already vomited all of his stomach.

The window was closed, and it had not been opened since last night. The murderer could only enter through the main entrance, and this person, was someone the knife scar knew. Otherwise, why would he let him in in the middle of the night?

Mo Xian walked over to the bedside and saw that there was a pool of blood on the bed. The white wall had also been splashed and dyed a dark red. The knife scar warrior's fatal wound was on his neck. Only after he was completely dead did he get his head cut off, and hung on his pants.

Furthermore, the intestines in his stomach had been emptied out and were now hanging in a circle on the wall, making him feel disgusted.

However, who had such a huge grudge against him?

The bamboo hat man that clashed with him last night? The man had a blade on his body, and his martial arts was not bad. It could be seen that the knife scar warrior was still struggling on the bed before he died.

Obviously, Mo Xian was not the only one who thought of this. The other three robust men immediately took their swords to the second floor, which was probably where the bamboo hat man stayed last night.

It was all Mo Xian's fault for sleeping so hard last night, she didn't even know if there were any movements from above.

The ruckus continued on the third floor. Everyone was sprawled out on the railing of the corridor, watching from a distance. They were not getting any closer. Nobody knew if the suspicion would land on him, or if he would be the next to die.

Everyone was panicking.

Mo Xian finished looking at the corpses, and followed along as he walked towards number two. The four people inside were staring at each other, obviously having finished their first fight, and had already hacked apart everything in the room.

"It must be you, you son of a bitch! Even after killing my big brother, you're still not willing to admit it! " The brawny man's voice was deafening.

He could not see his expression clearly, he could only hear him coldly replying, "I, Leng Zheng, am not afraid of shadows slanting. I will definitely admit to what I have done, but if I did not do it, then don't think that you have wronged me!"

Seeing that they were about to fall out with each other again, they got to work.

Mo Xian took a step back. She didn't want to be involved, so she stepped on someone's foot.
