Linqing City, Aotouji.

Ten miles away from homes are divided into two sides, with tall buildings and towers entering the sky, and officials and ships passing by, drums and gongs are heard everywhere.

The Huitong River is divided into two branches near the canal, flowing into the canal from the north and south, forming a middle continent. The silk silk in the southeast and the fur and brown in the northwest all gather here. There is also a stone dam above the middle continent, which looks like a tortoise. The four river gates on the two canals look like two pairs of turtles. The Guangji Bridge is behind Aotouji, which looks like its tail. There is also the inscription "Official" for Aotouji, which gives the ambition and artistic conception of "Official".

This is the scene of "Aoji Ningxiu".

A brothel not far away was named Xiuxiang Pavilion with the intention of Ningxiu. In terms of scale and fame, Xiuxiang Pavilion is not as good as another brothel opposite Ningxi Building, but it is not much different.

At this time, in a room on Xiuxiang Pavilion, Hua Ye stood by the window and stared at the scenery in the distance. Chaoguan, bridgehead, moored ships... Linqing City is no longer as lively as before. The canal stopped and the thieves attacked the city. How much business is there?

"What else can Linqing Gang become a group of idiots who join the thief who don't understand business at all?" Hua Ye thought to himself, and his eyes fell back to the Ningzhen Building opposite him.

Not long after, someone knocked on the door.

"This master, I have chosen a girl for you..."

"Come in."

The one who came in was a pretty brothel woman who just entered the house and closed the door. She threw a piece of silver over there.

"Shut up, sit down obediently, dare to speak out, I'll do you."

The brothel woman had never seen anyone in Linqing City. She collected the money and lowered her smile and sat down quietly beside the bed.

Hua Ye didn't even look at her. Since Mudan died, he had not been involved in this kind of fireworks place for many years. The habit of eating marrow and savory taste in those days was to quit.

After a while, a group of Rui troops came from afar, clearing the road to Chang Street and dispersing all the guests in the opposite Ningzhen Building.

Soon, the street became quiet, and more than a hundred elite soldiers escorted a carriage and slowly entered Ningxiang Tower. Then, the elite soldiers of the old camp surrounded Ningzhen Tower layer by layer, guarding it tightly.

Until evening, a woman in a red dress was thrown from Ningxiang Tower and fell into the canal with a thud. The water splashed and fell, and then she disappeared.

Mr. Hua narrowed his eyes and suddenly heard the brothel woman behind him say slowly: "That's General Wu of Zhennan Army? I heard that if he thought he was not serving others well, he would kill them like this afterwards..."

Master Hua turned his head and saw that she had stood up at some point and was standing behind her and looking out the window.

"Is this master here to watch General Wu?"

"If you don't stay well, do you want to die?"

"I have a miserable life. If I die, I will die. Why do I hit you tightly?" The woman smiled leisurely, biting her fingers, her eyes as charming as silk.

Mr. Hua put his hand in his sleeve, held a dagger, and walked slowly towards her.

"If I kill my family today, I will be the same guy as General Wu."

She said, the smile on her face became more charming, but a hint of misery appeared in her eyes.

In an instant, Master Hua thought of peony again.

There are all kinds of women in this brothel, some of whom are willing to be humble, and some are forced to do so. He doesn't know everyone, but he knows the misery of peony back then. He stabbed peony flowers on him, killed people and went to prison for him, and wandered in the world... When he thinks about it, he doesn't regret it.

Today, I saw this look again.

He frowned and said viciously: "You can't tell others about what happened today, otherwise I'll chop you up! My dagger is very vicious!"

"I am not afraid of being chopped up by my master, but I will not tell others that I hope I will get rid of a man like Wu Tong..."

~~

Master Hua left Xiuxiang Pavilion and walked around it carefully for several times. Indeed, no one followed him, so he entered a remote alley.

When he got here, he suddenly felt a little regretful.

"That woman should be killed." Thinking in my heart.

He knocked on a yard, someone opened the door, and he walked in.

After a while, there was no movement in the alley. He then came out again, walked around from the end of the alley to another alley, and returned to the real stronghold.

"No tail, right?"

"without."

"How about it?"

"Then there are people guarding Wu Tong's entry and exit, so it's not easy to do..."

At this point, Mr. Hua and the shepherd entered the lobby, but they were stunned for a moment.

I saw that the brothel woman I met in Xiuxiang Pavilion was also there, kneeling in front of Shi Gong.

"I'm back." Shi Gong looked up and greeted Master Hua, grinned and said sincerely: "Old Hua, I can't let you take action, you can't."

Hua Ye: "..."

"I have known you since I was a child. What kind of person are you? I can't know that you are not cruel enough. This kind of thing must be like a ghost head bee, and you will be fierce and decisive with one needle. What if you let General Cai do this last link?"

Master Hua sighed and said, "Forget it, listen to you."

Finally, he whispered and cursed: "Evil."

Shi Gong over there grinned again, turned to Cai Wuzhen and asked, "General Cai, okay?"

"What do you say, what do I do?" Cai Wuzhen said coldly, without a single redundant sentence.

"Okay, be this ghost bee."

The shepherd said again: "Dutish, it will be the sixth day tomorrow. You have no progress. Don't miss the marquis's big affairs."

"What is important in hunting is to hit a single blow, otherwise it will be troublesome if the prey is shocked." Shi Gong didn't care.

The shepherd then stopped talking about it. In fact, Shi Gong did convince him and acted so meticulously that others were impatient.

Even the division of labor and whoever does it is arranged to do it repeatedly. Everyone is repeatedly checked whether it is suitable for his tasks. Wu Tong's travel habits, the number of guards, and the comparison of which day is earlier or later than the previous day. Even if Wu Tong eats every day, he will send the shepherd to the restaurant to steal the bucket and smell it, and identify the taste of Wu Tong's meal.

What is annoying is that Shi Gong also likes to give everyone a insect name to represent the tasks they need to complete.

For example, the shepherd is a "fly", and tonight he designated Cai Wuzhen as a "ghost-headed bee"...

Finally, tomorrow we will take action.

Master Hua pointed to the brothel woman and asked Shi Gong: "You know me? Did you send her to take the exam for me?"

"I don't know. This is someone I've found."

The shepherd raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Spider?"

"No, she can't be a spider." Shi Gong said: "She is not afraid of death, but she has no strength to kill Wu Tong. At most, she is just a worm eaten by the spider."

Hearing this last sentence, the brothel woman smiled bitterly, shook her head, as if she was laughing at herself.

"What's the meaning?"

Shi Gong said to her: "Tell me yourself."

"Yes. The flower name Man Niang of the Immortal family made a living by selling laughter in Xiuxiang Pavilion. She saved up a sum of money for several years to redeem herself for her retirement. A year ago, I met a man in my family, and he...he..."

At this point, her voice gradually trembled.

"He is Gu Zheyan, and he looks handsome... I don't know how to describe it. Only when a few masters see it can you understand what he looks like..."

"The shepherd sneered: "No matter how handsome the country woman who has never seen the world is, can she be as handsome as my marquis?"

"I have never seen the world before. I was fascinated by him. I treated him with all my heart. I gave him all the money I had saved in my life and gave him everything I could... In the end, I realized that he was actually a liar who made a living by relying on his face. In just this year, when I was in love with me, he deceived nearly forty celebrities, ladies from my family, jassies from the small house, brothel prostitutes, and even the nuns in Hongyun's temple..."

The shepherd raised his eyebrows and shouted softly: "So powerful?"

——It is indeed much better than the Marquis.

The Man Niang raised her head, trying not to let her tears fall, and said, "Even not only women, he... he even cheated men... and could deceive many high-ranking officials..."

The shepherd opened his mouth: "Can men cheat?"

"Nothing is surprising." Hua Ye said: "Although the most prosperous place for male prostitutes in the world, we have to mention Fujian Guang, but in fact, five out of ten people who like male sex in the world are in Linqing."

"I know, I have seen Jin Pingmei at least."

Shi Gong glanced at them and asked Manniang to continue.

"If it were just like this, I wouldn't hate him... But later, I was pregnant with his flesh and blood, and only asked him to give me some of the money to redeem me so that I could give birth to the child... But he was so cruel and pushed me down from the stairs... Woo woo..."

Man Niang had tears in her eyes, and when she said this, she finally started to cry.

"Brother Shi, you promised to kill him for my family...Woooooo..."

Shi Gong nodded, turned to look at Hua Ye and the shepherd, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Miscellaneous!" Hua Ye cursed hatred.

"Beast!" the shepherd spat.

Shi Gong shook his head and sighed: "This is a fierce insect!"

"I haven't taken action these days, just looking for the most poisonous spider in Linqing City... It's it... Gu Zheyan."

The shepherd looked up at Shi Gong's eyes and took a step back unconsciously.

"This kind of poisonous spider can weave webs. Look at how many insects it catches. After it catches, it will eat it without hesitation... Do you know what its spouse looks like? During the intersecting of the female spider, the female spider bites the male spider and swallows it all!"

"Major General, there is a brothel in the city and said, "Someone is staring at you..."
