Chapter 1394 Yangzhou Dream
A lotus pond is built in a water pavilion.
Facing the interrogation of He Zhifu, the madam knew that she was overreacting, but she did not want to make things more complicated, so she replied falsely: "No... it's okay! I didn't expect that this case would alarm the imperial envoy. Now
I was so nervous!"
"The imperial envoy also has no three heads and six arms. Is it unclear what Dong Wei's virtue last year?" He Dongxu thought she was really confused because of this, but he felt a little contempt in his heart, so he gave an example.
This is actually a bit against one's will. Dong Wei was a member of the strict party who lost power. When he arrived in Yangzhou, he was afraid that others would catch him. On the other hand, Lin Qingran himself was a strong dragon. He was supported by his father-in-law who served as the Minister of Personnel in the court, and he went to Yangzhou completely.
Can do whatever you want.
"Master He taught me a lesson!" The madam immediately followed the words of Master He and nodded repeatedly.
He Dongxu put down the teacup in his hand and directly explained the purpose: "I don't care what the truth is, have you hidden anything? Since you said that you saw Zhang Wujin running away that day and saw Chen Xiaoxiao tragically die in the room,
You will be stubborn! As long as you insist on it, even if the imperial envoy personally tried, I can keep you safe and sound!"
As things have developed to this point, the truth of the case has become nothing important. What he wants now is that Zhang Wuji is the real murderer. As long as the case is confirmed, Lin Weiran will be frustrated by the case.
Nowadays, he came here not to seek the truth, but to put some pressure on the madam and give her peace of mind, so that this case became an ironclad case.
The madam was a smart man. Even with a smile on his face, he replied: "Mr. He, this person was killed by Zhang Wujin. How could I go back on my word? I think the imperial envoy looked at the ironclad evidence, and he would not be distorted.
Bar!"
"Reversal right and wrong? He doesn't have the ability yet!" He Dongxu answered confidently with the support of his teacher in the court.
"Mr. He, I'm already clear about the matter. Just give me a hundred thoughts!" The madam smiled and then warmly said: "It's rare that you come to Mingchun Tower tonight. I'll prepare wine and dishes for you now.
, but I don’t know which girl I want to accompany you?"
Several bosses behind the scenes of the next Chunlou have already made regulations that important officials like the Yangzhou prefect come here to spend money and do not have to pay any money, and some low-quality officials will also have discounts.
In this Yangzhou city, there is an invisible network of relationships, which has formed many large and small circles, and even closely linked officials and businessmen.
"This imperial envoy is not good, I still have some things to deal with. Don't talk about what you are doing today!" He Dongxu changed his previous greedy style and advised him seriously.
The madam said it repeatedly, and personally sent He Zhifu to the back door of the yard. Seeing him get in the carriage and leave, the carriage quickly disappeared into the slightly dark road.
Seeing the carriage of He Zhifu disappear, the madam hurriedly walked towards Mingchun Tower.
She vaguely felt that the two scholars had other intentions, and even had to do with the imperial envoy re-investigating the case. At this point, she regretted her greed just now. She shouldn't have let them go to the room, let alone let them take some away.
Something that is not suitable.
But she didn't know that when she was walking hurriedly towards Mingchun Tower, Lin Qingran and his group came to the door of the Lotus Pond.
Among these cross-yards, there are two servants guarding here. Similar to the private rooms in later entertainment venues, these are all service staff. There is a wooden sign in front of the door indicating whether there are people here.
The servant in front of the door was handsome and looked at Mr. Xu and his group coming, and then stepped forward and bowed: "I have seen Mr. Xu, but I don't know what Mr. Xu has to give!"
"I want it here! You have someone to bring you good wine and tea, girl!" Mr. Xu waved his hand very proudly, then turned his head and looked at Lin Qingran.
Lin Xuran's trip was not only for investigation, but also for relaxing himself. He ordered lightly: "Call a girl who plays well!"
Xu Kuan nodded gently and said sternly to the fair-skinned servant: "Why don't you go quickly?"
The servant nodded quickly, but asked the honest man next to him to do the work. He looked at Lin Weiran hopefully, causing Lord Lin, who had not changed color before the collapse of Mount Tai, to make a chill.
The characteristics of the times, this thoughtful brothel not only provides women, but also provides handsome boys. Longyang's favor has long been popular, and many people actually have ** hobbies.
Xu Kuan seemed very familiar with this place, and led the two into the small lotus pond building, passed through the monastery in front, and went directly to the huge lotus pond behind.
A bright moon hangs high in the sky, rendering the lotus pond like daytime. The hustle and bustle of the next spring building just left the hustle and bustle of the lotus pond, which formed a sharp contrast.
The group of people passed through the nine-curved wooden bridge as if they were walking among the lotus bushes. At this time, they looked at the lotus blooming under the moonlight and felt the coolness and comfort here, as if they were entering another time and space.
Mengzhao was born in Lingnan and was obsessed with the imperial examinations. Although he had heard of Jiangnan, he never really visited him. He found that the brothel still had such a glorious place, and was also very surprised.
Xu Kuan saw Meng Zhao's surprise, but did not stop on the first floor, but took the two to the second floor of Liang Pavilion again.
The second floor of Liang Pavilion is semi-enclosed, with a large round window arranged around it, which not only allows you to fully appreciate the scenery of the lotus pond below, but also enjoy the night view on the Little Qinhuai River.
The beauty of Yangzhou lies in the water, and Yangzhou City only has the charm of the Little Qinhuai River. At this time, the pleasure boats coming and going are quietly sailing in it, while the other side is a tall building with bright lights and wine, writing the poetic and picturesque meaning of Yangzhou.
"It is worthy of being: a dream of Yangzhou for ten years and won the reputation of being a blessed brothel."
Meng Zhao looked at the scene in a daze and finally realized the charm of Yangzhou. It is no wonder that so many literati and poets have left poems praising Yangzhou throughout the ages.
Not long after, the food and food were delivered. At the same time, a brothel woman came with her piano and sat in front of the piano platform to start playing, which added a bit of beauty to the place.
Lin Qingran sat in the first seat with voluntary care. Meng Zhao had the style of a gentleman, so he sat in the last seat. Xu Kuan knew that the other party must have an extraordinary status, so he sat down with him calmly.
