Chapter 388: Catching Ghosts(1/2)

North Street.

On the noisy street, the lights were brightly lit. Hu Fei, Pei Jie and Chun Die walked through the endless crowd, heading towards the Yanyu Tower.

The various shops on both sides of the street were crowded with people, making it very lively.

Hu Fei only wore regular clothes tonight, but he still had Jiu Qianhan with him. There was probably going to be a fierce battle tonight, and he would have to rely on Jiu Qianhan to defend himself, and he would also use the blood of the Chunqiu Hall killer to sacrifice himself.

knife.

Pei Jie and Chun Die were guarding each other less than one step behind Hu Fei, vigilantly observing everyone around them.

Compared to the two of them, Hu Fei's expression was much more relaxed, and he seemed not to be concerned about the killer hiding in the dark, and was walking around with great interest.

At this moment, a group of patrolling officers and soldiers came from a distance. Whenever they encountered anyone suspicious, they would stop them and ask for confirmation.

Immediately afterwards, the leader saw Hu Fei in the crowd at a glance. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then hurried over with others.

"I have met Marquis Jiu'an!"

The visitor came closer, bowed respectfully to Hu Fei, and said loudly.

Seeing the person coming, Hu Fei stopped, with a little surprise on his face.

"Commander Luo, why are you here?"

Hu Fei looked at the leader and asked with a puzzled smile.

The person who came was none other than Luo Ping, the commander of the Capital Army and Horses Division.

"A killer from the Northern Yuan Dynasty has been sneaked into the capital city. He is suspected to be a member of the Chunqiu Hall. The official is leading an inspection on the order of Wei Guogong."

Luo Ping cupped his hands and said solemnly.

"I didn't expect that it was so late. Commander Luo actually led people to patrol the streets in person. I admire him."

Hu Fei smiled, cupped his hands and said.

"Marquis Jiu'an, why do you only bring two guards with you? And why do you walk instead of taking a carriage? It's too dangerous!"

Luo Cheng glanced around, looked at Hu Fei with a worried look and asked.

"In our capital city of the Ming Dynasty, do you have to carry thousands of troops to drink wine?"

Hu Fei said with a smile.

"Jiu'an Hou, Chunqiu Hall's killers are obviously coming for you, so we must be on guard. If anything happens to you, it will be a dereliction of duty on the part of a subordinate!"

Luo Ping said solemnly.

"Don't worry. After tonight, you don't have to patrol the streets with people at night. I have something to do. Take a step forward. The girls from Yanyu Tower are still waiting for me."

Hu Fei waved his hand and continued walking in the direction of Yanyu Tower as he spoke.

"Come here, escort Jiu'an Hou to Yanyu Tower!"

Luo Ping paused for a moment, then immediately gave the order and planned to follow Hu Fei to Yanyu Tower with a group of subordinates.

"No need, just do whatever you need to do, I'll be fine."

Hu Fei stopped, turned around, looked at Luo Ping, and said lightly.

"But..."

"This is an order!"

Luo Ping still wanted to persist, but before he could continue speaking, Hu Fei had already said in a deep voice.

"yes!"

In desperation, Luo Ping had no choice but to agree and reluctantly left with his men.

After watching Luo Ping go away, Hu Fei took Pei Jie and Chun Die and continued to move forward. Not long after, they finally arrived at Yanyu Tower, and the journey was uneventful.

"Oh, I wonder which distinguished guest came to make the Yanyu Tower shine? It turned out to be the Marquis of Jiu'an?!"

"Qi Niang pays homage to Master Jiu!"

After hearing the news that Hu Fei had come to Yanyulou, the boss Du Qiniang hurriedly came out to greet him and bowed respectfully, with a flattering smile on his face.

"Long time no see, Boss Du is still charming."

Hu Fei raised his hand to signal Du Qiniang to excuse herself, and joked with a smile.

"Master Jiu, you are joking. Qiniang has long been old and wan, how can she still have any charm? How can she catch your eye."

Du Qiniang covered her mouth and snickered, and said shyly.

"If you were really old, I'm afraid this Yanyu Tower would have been closed down long ago."

Hu Fei smiled and walked straight to the second floor as he spoke.

"Master Jiu, what brought you here today? You haven't been here for some time."

Du Qiniang hurriedly followed and asked with a smile.

"I want to reserve the venue. Let all the guests leave. I'll pay for the drinks."

Hu Fei said calmly while walking upward.

It was still early, and there were not many guests in the Yanyu Building at this time.

As soon as Hu Fei finished speaking, Pei Jie reached out and took out a few ingots of silver and threw them to Du Qiniang.

Du Qiniang was stunned for a moment, but she didn't say anything nonsense at the moment. She immediately turned around and went downstairs, and began to persuade the individual guests who had already arrived to leave the Yanyu Building.

Hu Fei took Pei Jie and both of them up to the second floor, chose the most spacious box and sat down, with the doors and windows wide open.

Not long after, he dismissed all the guests, hung the out of business sign outside the door, and hurried to the private room on the second floor.

"Master Jiu, the other guests have left. The food and wine have been prepared and will be delivered immediately."

"But do you need a girl to keep you company tonight?"

Du Qiniang asked tentatively with a smile on her face.

"No need, take your people and leave Yanyu Building. Just treat it as closed tonight and everyone is on vacation."

Hu Fei looked at Du Qiniang and said calmly.

"Ah? Master Jiu, what are you doing?"

Du Qiniang was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully.

"I'm going to commandeer your Yanyu Building tonight. When it's done, the money will be yours."

Hu Fei said calmly.

"I wonder what Master Jiu wants to use this fireworks place for?"

Du Qiniang became more and more confused as she listened, and couldn't help but ask.

"Ghost hunting!"

Hu Fei narrowed his eyes and said with curled lips.

"ghost?!"

Du Qiniang was stunned for a moment and became even more confused.

"Leave quickly and don't ask any more questions!"

Hu Fei's face darkened and he said loudly.

Du Qiniang hurriedly agreed, not daring to say more, and hurriedly turned around and left.

Soon, as the waiter brought the wine and food to the table, except for Hu Fei and Pei Jie, the entire Yanyu Building was empty.

Hu Fei lowered his head to pour himself a glass of wine and took a sip.

Jiu Qianhan was placed beside the low table within easy reach, exuding wisps of cold air.

"Master, is it too obvious to send everyone away? The other party may be able to tell at a glance that this is a trap."

Pei Jie hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but say.

"It doesn't matter, even if the killer knows this is a trap, he will definitely come."

"They are the killers of Chunqiu Hall. The traps of just three people cannot scare them."

Hu Fei smiled and said lightly.

The reason why he walked to Yanyu Tower instead of taking a carriage was to tell the enemy that he only had two subordinates with him, and there was not a single soldier stationed around Yanyu Tower.

If the other party doesn't dare to show up, then it won't be the famous Chunqiu Hall.

After hearing Hu Fei's words, Pei Jie stopped talking and stood silently behind Hu Fei with Chundie, fully alert, paying attention to any disturbance around them.

Time passed by minute by second, except for the sound of wine glasses and wine bottles being dropped on the table, the entire Yanyu Building was completely silent.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a slight sound reached the ears of the three people present.

Pei Jie and Chundie's expressions changed suddenly, and they hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw three men in black appearing at the railing outside the window almost at the same time, and then walked into the box in a flash.
