章 746: The Betrayer

Sheng Li got down from the carriage and read the letters carved on the large wooden board at the entrance.

"Peng Residence," Sheng Li read and walked in, followed by Zhe Yan. As he reached the main courtyard, he found a middle-aged man on the pavilion, enjoying the dance. One of the men went to the pavilion and informed his master about Sheng Li's presence.

The middle-aged man looked in Sheng Li's direction and after a while, he was called to the pavilion.

Sheng Li ascended the few stairs to reach the pavilion.

"Are you from Changying?" The middle-aged man asked.

Sheng Li noticed the expensive silk clothes that he had worn and the silver wine glass in his hand. It was evident to him that such a huge wealth was accumulated in illegal ways.

"No. I am a traveler from the North. I am Hushu," Sheng Li lied to him, introducing his alias name to him.
