Chapter 290 Rumors
"Mother Zhou, we searched everywhere but couldn't find Ayimu."
The thugs reported to Mother Zhou.
"Impossible, a living person can't be blown to ashes."
"I want to see the person alive or dead!"
"Keep looking, don't stop!"
Mother Zhou shouted hysterically.
The start of tonight was perfect, but unexpectedly, she was hit by a club at the end.
But they searched the wreckage of the stage several times, but they couldn't find Ayimu.
Only the black robe she had been holding in her hand fell to the ground in tatters, and no one cared about it.
Li Xuan was also a little surprised when he saw this result.
Although the previous explosion was powerful, it was absolutely impossible to blow a person to ashes without leaving any residue.
Not to mention the body, there was not much blood near the stage.
Only the area where Hou San was found had a lot of blood belonging to him.
After Hou San was sent over, several other mothers on Huajie came to see Zhou's mother, and their attitudes were not very good.
After all, no one who was confused and stopped to take the blame together would have a good temper.
But Zhou's mother was not a pushover.
Now Ayimu's whereabouts are related to her second half of life. How can she be rational when facing them at this time?
Zhou's mother started to criticize them crazily, forcing the other mothers to retreat.
In the end, they had to discuss saving Hou San first.
Even if Hou San didn't survive in the worst case, they could completely put the responsibility on Zhou's mother.
Hou San had an accident on Hu Yulou's stage. If Zhou's mother didn't take responsibility, who would take it?
It's just that Zhou's mother is a little anxious now, and the other mothers didn't force her at this time.
Now Zhou's mother only has Ayimu's whereabouts in her eyes, and can't think about anything else.
Li Xuan sniffed the string, and the place was filled with a pungent smell, which was very similar to the smell of firecrackers he smelled during the Chinese New Year when he was a child.
"It smells quite good, and it's quite powerful."
"I just don't know who did it."
"Ai Mu's disappearance is strange, there must be something I don't know about it."
Li Xuan became interested.
Compared with the theft case in Princess Ankang's hands, he was more interested in this kind of case.
But now it seems that if there is no trace of Ai Mu, Ai Mu may be the biggest suspect.
When the courtesan was paraded in the streets, Ai Mu danced on the stage for a long time, and the stage was silent.
As a result, after Hou San gave the reward, he went on stage to give flowers, and the stage exploded directly.
It was hard for Li Xuan not to think that the person behind the scenes was targeting Hou San, not Ai Mu.
Even Li Xuan was guessing that perhaps all this was directed and acted by Ai Mu.
She performed such a play to escape from Hu Yulou's control.
Although Li Xuan didn't know what the contract between her and Hu Yulou was like, he thought that for a new courtesan like her, the conditions could not be very good for her.
Li Xuan thought about it and now it seemed that only Ayimu could benefit from this matter.
In addition, Ayimu might have a grudge against Hou San.
Of course, all this was Li Xuan's own speculation and there was no substantial evidence.
The biggest doubt now was Ayimu who disappeared from the explosion site.
If she was a victim, there was no reason to disappear so quietly.
But Li Xuan thought, maybe she was also abducted.
In the situation just now, if there was no advance preparation, it would be difficult for ordinary people to escape from such an explosion.
At this time, Li Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
He thought of a detail.
The lanterns on Hua Street were extinguished first, and then the explosion sounded.
In this case, there was a small gap before the explosion.
This small gap may contain the secret of Ayimu's disappearance.
"Interesting."
Li Xuan paced back and forth on the thin rope excitedly.
At this time, the riots on Flower Street gradually subsided.
The thugs holding torches lit up the central intersection, allowing people to see the stage that was blown to pieces.
The dying Hou San was hidden by the mothers on Flower Street, so when the road was bright again, no one saw this unlucky guy.
But Li Xuan saw another familiar figure.
Not far from the ruins of the stage, Zhao Si was mixed in the crowd.
He was looking at the wreckage of the stage at this time, frowning, and I don’t know what he was thinking.
Compared with Hou San who gathered a group of friends, Zhao Si seemed to be alone, and there seemed to be no companions in the crowd.
Li Xuan saw Zhao Si and couldn't help but raise his eyes.
"I almost forgot about this guy!"
Seeing Zhao Si, Li Xuan remembered that he had not seen Hou San's group of friends until now.
Hou San was blown up like that, but they didn't come to look for him.
"Damn, this is too real, isn't it?"
Li Xuan looked at the crowd below and searched for several circles, but he didn't see any trace of those people at all.
He didn't know whether they went home to hide or found another place to have fun.
Li Xuan shook his head and didn't expect Hou San's friends to have any loyalty.
But Zhao Si's appearance here made him a little concerned.
At this time, the news that Hu Yulou couldn't find Ayimu spread somehow, and suddenly someone in the crowd shouted:
"Ghost, it must be a ghost!"
"The female ghost on Flower Street is back again!"
At first, these voices were still sporadic, but as enthusiastic people spread the knowledge, an old news was gradually brought up again.
Don't look at this Flower Street, which is usually full of lights, wine, flowers, snow, and moonlight.
But the brighter the place, the deeper the darkness.
There are many unfortunate women on Hua Street, and even more of them died with resentment.
In addition, the yin energy here is heavy, and there are always one or two strange things.
As a result, there are a few ghost stories circulating on Hua Street every year.
And without exception, the protagonists in the stories are all female ghosts.
Such a strange thing happened tonight, and naturally someone mentioned it again.
Seeing that the rumors of hauntings are getting more and more true, several mothers in charge of Hua Street frowned.
Hauntings are not good for their business.
If it is a story about a human-ghost affair, it is easy to say, but what happened tonight will obviously have a negative impact, so they will naturally not let such rumors go.
Several mothers in charge quickly sent people to control the scene and persuaded the guests on the street to go back to their brothels.
There is no way to end the parade of the courtesan today, and it can only end hastily.
The mothers promised to make up for this month's settlement ceremony later, and they also offered a 50% discount on all the places on Hua Street, which persuaded people.
Most people slowly walked to the brothels they had booked, and a small number of people refused to leave, wanting to watch the excitement to the end.
But as dusk deepened, the wind on the street became colder and colder.
Coupled with the tempting 50% discount, some people have already decided to grit their teeth and upgrade themselves.
As a result, the top courtesans who were already quite popular will be even busier tonight.
In order to get a number, some people have already started jogging back to make an appointment for tonight's service.
Several mothers who are in charge of Hua Street know best how to control customers, so a simple discount can get rid of all the people.
Li Xuan looked at this group of evil spirits and couldn't help shaking his head.
But when he was distracted, Zhao Si disappeared.
When he turned around again, he found that he couldn't find Zhao Si at all.
It seems that he should have returned to the brothel, but I don't know which one he went to.
"This fat guy is so fast!"
Li Xuan was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Zhao Si looked fat, but his speed was not slow at all.
After dealing with the mothers at the scene, they came over to surround Zhou Mama of Hu Yulou, and this time they asked her to talk without question.
Zhou Mama didn't find Ayimu for a long time, and she had gradually calmed down at this time.
Despair enveloped her, and she didn't dare to imagine what she would encounter in the future.
But she was under the eaves now, so she had to bow her head.
In order to solve her crisis, Zhou Mama might have to seek help from these people later.
So she cooperated obediently this time and didn't get hysterical again.
Unexpectedly, they actually invited Zhou Mama to her own Hu Yulou.
Li Xuan hurriedly followed and went in directly from the window on the second floor.
He found that Princess Ankang and others had returned to the previous private room.
Princess Ankang and Yu'er were looking at the movement at the door and found that a group of mothers from Huajie came together.
But just when their attention was attracted, Li Xuan suddenly got into Princess Ankang's arms.
Li Xuan originally wanted to scare Princess Ankang, but she was not scared at all, and subconsciously hugged Li Xuan with her backhand.
Li Xuan, who was captured with his backhand, was confused, and did not expect Princess Ankang to react so quickly.
But the next moment, she saw Princess Ankang looking at Li Xuan in her arms after realizing it, and said in surprise:
"Ah Xuan, you are back."
Princess Ankang greeted Li Xuan with a smile, and did not forget to gossip:
"By the way, did you find anything?"
Li Xuan immediately used his tail to write what he saw on Princess Ankang's hand, and did not forget to share his own guesses.
"Ah, has the beautiful dancing girl disappeared?"
Princess Ankang exclaimed.
Princess Yuan'an quickly cast a curious look.
Princess Ankang also did not forget to share gossip with everyone, and told everyone what Li Xuan saw.
But she deliberately concealed Li Xuan's various speculations.
After speaking, Princess Ankang looked down at Li Xuan in her arms and said:
"Ah Xuan, you don't know yet, the Hou San who was injured in the explosion was sent here, and now he seems to be upstairs."
Princess Ankang said shockingly, and pointed to the top of their heads.
Li Xuan was stunned. He didn't expect Hou San to be hidden here.
"This was discovered by the eunuchs."
Princess Ankang whispered in Li Xuan's ear, pointing to the flowery eunuch who led the team.
The flowery eunuch stepped forward silently and bowed to Princess Ankang.
"Someone carried a big box up earlier, but it was discovered by the eunuch."
"The condition of Hou San is very bad, and it is estimated that he is hanging."
Li Xuan also nodded silently.
What kind of character was Hou San blown up, but he saw it with his own eyes.
In his state, it was really hard for him to survive.
At this time, Mother Zhou led the other mothers in charge of the Flower Street to go upstairs, passed the second floor, and then continued to go up.
Li Xuan's eyes lit up, and Princess Ankang also understood and threw him out gently.
This time, the eunuchs in flower clothes did not stop Li Xuan's actions, but could not help but look at him a few more times.
Li Xuan sneaked forward from under the table and chairs and caught up with the mothers who were dominating the Flower Street.
