With Huang Shan leading the way, it only took Lin Qing a moment to arrive at the room where the Branch Lord was. Although the room was not luxurious, it was very unique and made one feel comfortable.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qing nodded her head, her gaze sweeping towards the restrained Huang Shan at the side. With a trace of a smile, she said, "You're not bad." Then, she turned her head and entered the house.

When Huang Shan heard this, his face instantly flushed red. He hurriedly knelt down and said, "I am duty-bound to work for the Branch Lord."

"Stand up, I have something to ask you." Lin Qing did not turn around. Instead, she surveyed the entire room as she indifferently replied.

"Yes, Branch Lord." Huang Shan hurriedly stood up and followed Lin Qing into the room.

After looking for a while, Lin Qing found a chair and sat down. She looked at the nervous Huang Shan and said, "I've just come to Red Leaf Town, so I don't know much about it. As for the information recorded by the main rudder, I'm afraid it's a lot more different than this."

"The Branch Lord is wise. Although this subordinate is not talented, this subordinate has been in Red Leaf Town for so many years. I dare not say that I have held hands with Red Leaf Town, but I know of most things." Huang Shan's face showed a little joy as he quickly expressed his opinion.

Lin Qing nodded. She was very satisfied with Huang Shan's understanding. However, Lin Qing also knew that if he hadn't displayed his martial prowess to the Branch Lord, Huang Shan might not have been so obedient.

"According to the intelligence given by the Sect Master, the previous Sect Leader's death was related to the Green Bamboo Gang branch here. Is there a hidden secret?" Lin Qing tactfully asked the first question.

Hearing this, Huang Shan's expression slightly changed, but he quickly recovered. If it wasn't for Lin Qing observing him all the time, she might not have been able to tell that something was amiss.

"The Helmsman is wise and wise. The death of the previous Helmsman is indeed related to the Green Bamboo Gang." Huang Shan lowered his head and said.

"Is that so? It's just that, I'm afraid it's not that simple "? Lin Qing's gaze turned cold as he slammed the table and icily stated.

When Huang Shan heard this, he could not help but feel great fear. He quickly kowtowed and said, "Please forgive me, Branch Master. However, there are many suspicious points. I am not very clear about my position."

After retracting the cold expression on her face, Lin Qing couldn't help but reveal a trace of a smile as she said, "In that case, stand up and speak."

Huang Shan stood up respectfully and replied, "Yes."

He quickly whispered, "Although the previous Branch Lord's death seemed to have been killed by the Branch Lord of the Green Bamboo Gang, there are many suspicious points. For example, six days ago, the day before the Branch Lord died, the Branch Lord went to discuss the distribution of benefits in Red Leaf Town with the Branch Lord Lin Danzi, who was stationed here, and was stabbed to death when he returned that night."

If it was really the Green Bamboo Gang, then when the issue of Red Leaf Town's distribution of benefits was discussed that day, the Green Bamboo Gang's Lin Danzi was completely capable of killing the Branch Lord. On that day, the Division Head went alone, while the Green Bamboo Gang sent five people, including the Branch Lord Zhou Jian and the Division Gold Red Rod Qu Ming.

Hearing this, Lin Qing nodded her head, declining to comment. Then, she looked at Huang Shan, indicating for him to continue.

"The night the Branch Lord was assassinated, I saw Green Bamboo Gang's Branch Lord Lin Danzi. That night, he stayed at the Linchun Restaurant and didn't go anywhere else, and other than the Branch Lord Lin Danzi, the rest of the gang members in Red Leaf Town's Branch Division could not be a match for me. Furthermore, it was impossible for someone to silently assassinate the Branch Lord until the next day when they were discovered."

"Are you sure that Lin Danzi stayed at Lin Chun Restaurant that night? He did not go anywhere during the journey." Lin Qing said with a frown.

"Your subordinate is sure that Lin Danzi was at Lin Chun Restaurant the whole time that night. He definitely did not go elsewhere." Huang Shan hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and speaking.

After he finished listening, Lin Tian's face turned slightly cold. Looking at Huang Shan, he did not say anything. Lin Tian believed that Huang Shan would give him a perfect explanation and would tell him why he was so sure.

The night that the Branch Lord died was the night that the owner of the Red Spring Restaurant goes to Jinling to collect goods. Every time that day, Lin Danzi will never let go of such a beautiful scene, and on the day that the Branch Lord is assassinated, I will also be staying at the Red Spring Restaurant. At night, I secretly saw Lin Danzi enter the Lady Boss's room of the Red Spring Restaurant, and only sneaked out the next morning.

Lin Qing pondered for a long time. Her fingers lightly tapped the table, making a "Da Da" sound. Apart from this, the silence in the room was so heavy that even Huang Shan's breathing quickened.

"In that case, what a coincidence!" Lin Qing stared at Huang Shan as if he was referring to something.

"Helmsman, what your subordinate said is absolutely true. I dare not lie to the Branch Lord, and even more so, I dare not betray the Tiger Gang!" Huang Shan's face turned pale and his body trembled as he quickly kneeled down.

After looking at Huang Shan for a long time, Lin Qing waved her hands and said, "I didn't say anything about you being involved in the Branch Lord's death. Why are you so agitated?"

When Huang Shan heard this, his face instantly turned white, and his entire body seemed to be paralyzed on the ground.

Seeing Huang Shan's expression, Lin Qing sighed to herself. However, she did not say anything and just looked at Huang Shan, indicating for him to get up.

Huang Shan was so frightened that he did not dare to stand up. He was afraid that Lin Qing would suspect that he had something to do with the Branch Lord's death.

"Alright, get up. I already understand your loyalty to the Tiger Gang." Lin Qing said indifferently as she looked at the collapsed Yellow Mountain.

Huang Shan slightly raised his head and saw that Lin Qing did not seem to be joking. He could not help but feel overjoyed.

"What, do you still need me to help you?" Seeing Huang Shan acting like this, Lin Qing's eyebrows knitted together as she coldly snorted.

"No need, no need," Huang Shan hurriedly got up and said with a fawning face.

Lin Qing nodded slightly and cast her gaze out of the window. White clouds were floating in the air, and her demeanor was still elegant, as if attracted by the scenery. Lin Qing muttered, "Red Leaf Town is a pretty good place to start. Huang Shan, what do you think?"

Huang Shan seemed to be able to understand the hidden meaning behind Lin Qing's words. His entire face was flushed red as he excitedly said, "Yes, Red Leaf Town is backed by Golden Scale City. It is facing Hai Wai City and not far away is the bustling Ying Yang County. Whether it is economic or transportation, they both have incomparable advantages."
