The next day, Han Moxi arrived at Mingyue Palace to report back to Han Moze on his investigation.
“Royal brother, since there’re no obvious signs of Blood Feast’s enterprises, all I could do was question door-to-door. Eventually, I discovered that Blood Feast mainly operates brothels and restaurants. The brothels they run include Jinmei, Jinfeng, and Jinli; and the restaurants include Zuiyun and Fengman. Besides this, Blood Feast occupies many other businesses under the name of Luofeng Manor.”
Han Moze grinned. He never imagined that Blood Feast ran so many businesses.
“What else did you discover?” He asked with a dull voice.
“People of Jianghu1 know the majority of Blood Feast’s businesses. If they want someone killed, all they have to do is find the manager of any one of those businesses and discuss it. However, the business owner isn’t actually from Blood Feast, as they only pass on viable missions through their channels for Blood Feast’s people.”
Han Moze smiled wickedly. “Send men to shut down Blood Feast’s Zuiyun. Tell the manager that if they want to open the business again, then they’ll have to get Blood Feast’s Liu Rushuang to personally come discuss it with me,” he said flatly.
Han Moxi had a thought. “Royal brother, it looks like all we needed to do was investigate Blood Feast’s Zuiyun but yesterday, you actually made me research all their businesses. I suspect you are messing with me,” he said unsatisfyingly through gritted teeth.
Then, he turned his head, ignoring Han Moze. It’s really tiring having such an older brother without a conscience, alright?
Han Moze looked a little uneasy, as he turned his gaze to Han Moxi. “Your royal brother didn’t mess with you. Think about it, if you didn’t investigate them all, then how would we have known just how many businesses Blood Feast operates? Without knowing this, if the Blood Feast leader disappeared one day, where should I go look for them?”
Han Moxi blinked. Oh yeah. Looks like he misunderstood his royal brother, but he still felt it was a little strange.
Han Moze raised his eyebrows. “Go close down the business. Once you’ve done that, I’ll give you three days leave from court,” he said with a slight smile.
Han Moxi immediately turned his head and looked over at Han Moze. “Mhm, royal brother, I shall go do the job,” he replied with a chuckle.
With a grin, Han Moze watched as Han Moxi leave. Lian Jiuhua must have been a bad influence on him.
The Zuiyun restaurant in Beiming was more or less the same as Nanli’s Zuiyun. It also had five floors; the higher the floor, the more expensive the prices were and the more luxurious it appeared.
In one of the rooms on the fifth floor, there was a man dressed in dark blue clothing with silver embroidery, who was visible from the observation deck. He heard noise from outside and shifted his gaze. Then, he hid half his face with a gold mask which concealed his eyes and brows. As he walked out of Zuiyun, he led twelve beautiful women in red behind him and took a seat on a sedan chair which looked lavish beyong compare. Thereafter, four men dressed in black raised the chair and walked towards another restaurant.
“Come quick! Look! It’s Nangong Ba. So handsome!”
“I really want to marry him! Even if I’m just used to warm his bed.”
“I really envy that sedan chair! They can get up close Nangong Ba.”
…
Although the women of the Capital didn’t say what was on their mind, one could tell just by the amorous look in their eyes.
This was Nangong Ba, the richest man of Beiming and at the same time, master of Wulin.
Outside Zuiyun, Han Moxi glanced at the women who gawked at Nangong Ba from above. He felt really speechless. As a charismatic marquis, he may as well be a rich businessman.
However, if Han Moxi actually met Nangong Ba, he wouldn’t have thought that.
A few days later, at the Blood Feast headquarters.
Liu Rushuang was called to the Blood Feast Hall, where the clan masters and elders sat behind tables.
Liu Rushuang walked over and sat in the seat of honor. “I still had a few days of training left in the deep valley. Why have you all called me out?” She asked with a flat voice.
