Chapter 1392 Lotus Pond Building
Lin Weiran came to Mingchunlou this time in a miscellaneous manner, but he didn't want people to know his identity.
Now that I suddenly heard the word "Brother Lin" and knew that my identity had been exposed, I calmly asked about my reputation, but the person who saw the words were slightly stunned.
But a fat young man in a gorgeous clothes came from there. He was not tall, but he was as tall as a ball of meat. He had a smile on his face, causing his eyes to narrow into a slit, which made him feel a little bit vulgar.
"Young Master Xu, do you know each other?" The madam looked at Xu Kuan and said hello to him, and then looked at the two of them with caution, and asked with caution in her heart.
When Meng Zhao faced Mr. Xu, who had met unexpectedly, he also noticed that the madam had suspicion. He responded with a smile: "Mr. Xu, I parted outside the city the day before yesterday. I don't want to meet here tonight. Fortunately, I will meet!"
Lin Weiran saw that the person who happened to meet Xu Kuan that day, and knew that his identity would not be revealed, he also looked at Mr. Xu who was close from far away.
Mr. Xu was born in a wealthy businessman's family. Although he was reluctant to eat, drink, whore and gambling, he inherited the business talent of Xu's family. That day, he vaguely felt that Lin Shiran had a different identity, so he deliberately made friends with him better than this person, and he probably had a background.
The young master of the country helped him expand his network.
He narrowed his little eyes and invited generously, "Haha... Lucky! Since we are destined to meet again, and you are here again in the next spring building, so let me be the host. We will not be drunk tonight
Don't return!"
"It turns out to be Mr. Xu's friend. It's very good. I'll call you girls?" The madam's eyes lit up slightly, and they immediately wanted to make do with them and sat down and talked happily.
Lin Qingran would not accept this result, but he now has disciples and he doesn't have to worry about many things at all.
"Brother Xu, we are entrusted by our friends and are helping our friends with something. Let's get together next time!" Meng Zhao directly chose to refuse, and raised his hand to the madam again and said, "Madam, please lead the way!"
The madam seemed to pay more attention to Xu Kuan, who had always been generous, so she gave him a difficult look.
"Okay, then you guys are busy with yours first, I'm not in a hurry!" Xu Kuan answered immediately, and said with a stern face to the madam: "They are both my friends, so don't be careless, don't lead the way?"
"Yes! Yes!" The madam nodded repeatedly and led the person to the third floor.
The business in the Chunlou is very prosperous, especially now it is far from next year's provincial examination. The new Flower Beauty Competition is coming again, with many foreign scholars and wealthy businessmen gathering here.
The madam is a versatile person. Sometimes she greets a regular customer she meets and quickly leads the person to the innermost room on the third floor. However, she explains while walking: "Xiaoxiao drowned in her room, but the girls all think that
Unlucky, they refused to live in this room, so they were filled with items from Miss Xiaoxiao. You can choose one."
"Very good!" Meng Zhao responded calmly.
"Brother Lin, what are you doing in Miss Xiaoxiao's room?" Xu Kuan asked in a vague way, just as he nipped the fragrant juice.
Lin Xu didn't expect that this fat young master Xu would entrap him like a fly. At this moment, there was no reason to send him away, so he responded lightly: "You will know in a while!"
It was at this moment that the turtle man came panting and muttered in the madam's ear.
"Who is here? It's mysterious!" Xu Kuan immediately seemed dissatisfied and said in dissatisfaction when he saw this situation.
"Mr. Xu, something urgent happened below. I'll accompany you for gains and losses!" After hearing Mr. Gui's report, the madam explained with a smile, but looked at Mengzhao in embarrassment.
Mengzhao was a smart man, so he immediately handed the bag of silver to the madam and said, "If you have something to do, go! I'll give you this bag now, but I have to choose something from this room to bring it with me!"
"Okay, okay, just choose it!" The madam took the bag of silver and responded with a smile.
The madam seemed to have been careful and deliberately kept the Turtle Man, and then left happily with the bag of silver.
The three of them pushed open the door and entered.
Lin Weiran smelled the air filled with a musty smell. The madam did not seem to be lying. There were no one checking in the room for some days and no cleaning was done. It seemed that the most complete crime scene was retained.
Mingchun Tower is a brothel with Jiangnan characteristics. In front is a four-story brothel, behind is a large and small courtyard. The most prominent one is the cross-yard adjacent to the Little Qinhuai River, which has a good reputation:
"A small building for lotus ponds".
In addition to the exquisite houses, this small lotus pond building also has a lotus pond water pavilion, which is connected by a nine-curved wooden bridge to the water pavilion in the lotus pond, which is quite a bit winding and secluded.
April is the time for lotus flowers to bloom. As a gentle breeze blows by, the lotus leaves move gently, and the lotus flowers quietly sprinkle some pollen, and a faint fragrance spreads over the lotus pond.
The madam walked through the nine-curved wooden bridge and hurried to the water pavilion. However, when she saw the Yangzhou prefect He Dongxu sitting here to drink tea, she stepped forward enthusiastically and said, "Mr. He, what kind of wind is it?"
You've blown it, which girl do you want tonight?"
After He Dongxu left Chen Boren's mansion, he came directly to the Mingchun Tower and asked straight to the point: "Has Chen Xiaoxiao really been killed by Zhang Wuji?"
When the madam heard that it was this, she immediately gave a guarantee and said, "Mr. He, even if you give me a hundred courage, I dare not deceive you? People were drowned, and Xiaoxiao saw Zhang Wuji coming from the room with her own eyes.
After coming out, I found the stolen goods from Zhang Wujin's room. Isn't this clearer? "After pausing, then asked in confusion: "Mr. He, hasn't this case been sentenced?"
"You don't know yet?" He Dongxu believed the madam's words, but after hearing this question, he looked surprised and looked at her with surprise.
"Mr. He, what should I know?" The madam was even more confused and explained: "Isn't this the courtesan competition about soon? I've been busy running for the courtesan these days, and I really don't know that Yangzhou City is going to be the same again
What big thing happened!”
He Dongxu saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so he took a sip of tea and said: "The new imperial envoy came to Yangzhou today. Someone blocked the bridge to complain. The imperial envoy has taken over Chen Xiaoxiao's case!"
ah?
After hearing this, the madam's mouth opened slightly. At the same time, the two scholars just now flashed into her mind. It was not as simple as they said. If she could not say it, she would come to investigate.
The person in the case.
"What's wrong?"
