Chapter 111 The First Fire in the Capital
Twilight seemed like sand suspended in the turbid current, gradually settling down quietly, shrouding everything in depth.
People who had been working hard all day began to rest.
The female Bodhisattvas in the Land of Wind and Moon cheered up one after another, and with the sincere attitude of opening their doors for you now, they opened the avenue to obtain the true scriptures and accepted the hundreds of millions of people who came from Purdue. Creatures.
Of course, for the Xichu Pavilion, which is one of the top three most popular places in the capital, seeking true scriptures is at a disadvantage. People who come here without exception tighten their belts and wish they could write "" to their second brother. The word "gentleman".
What you can’t eat is always the most delicious.
Once those goddesses who are highly praised are accidentally mosaic, the golden gold will no longer be able to hit her.
This is the first time for Lu Renjia to come to Xi Chu Pavilion.
I was used to the white thighs and bellybands of different styles in Chunyu Tower. Now looking at the more conservatively dressed romantic women, Master Jia thought that he had come to the wrong place, and he felt uncomfortable for a while.
Zhang Yunwu adapted very well and felt much more comfortable than in Chunyu Tower.
Xia He followed Jiang Shouzhong silently.
The girl was covered with an ice sculpture mask.
After recovering from the loss of her life bead, she returned to her cold temperament.
Even if you are in a place like Xichu Pavilion, which is full of flowers and flowers, you can't hide its cold and unique charm, which arouses the attention of many men. Fortunately, the people who can come to this place have status, and naturally they will not do the kind of teasing behavior.
“Brother Jiang, have you ever been to this Xi Chu Pavilion before?”
Nalan asked with an evil smile.
Jiang Shouzhong shook his head, "I am poor, I have no money."
Nalan Xie thought deeply, "This place is indeed a place to spend money, let alone the two courtesans. , even if you don’t have a hundred and eighty liang, you can’t even think of having a cup of tea with her.”
As he said that, he suddenly winked, “But we are here for business. Taking advantage of your status to listen to a certain little fairy’s music is not considered a personal act. Mr. Jiang, why don’t you listen to a few songs and taste the beauty tea from the West Chu Pavilion before handling the case?”
Jiang Shouzhong smiled, shook his head and said, "Forget it about listening to the music. A vulgar savage like me can't taste elegant chaff."
At this time, a soft voice came, "Young Master is joking. There is elegance everywhere in the world, and there is vulgarity everywhere. When you meet a close friend in the mountains and flowing water, it is an elegant thing to sing the harp and harp in harmony. There are fireworks in the streets and alleys, and people are laughing and chattering, It’s also a matter of elegance, but it’s just different from the position.”
A woman with a delicate appearance, about twenty years old, appeared in front of her. Wear exquisite clothes and have outstanding temperament.
The woman had light make-up and a graceful manner. She saluted Jiang Shouzhong and others one by one, "Country girl Su Wan has met all of you."
Nalan Xie said with a smile: "It turns out it's Su Wan. Miss Wan, I have admired you for a long time."
He turned to Jiang Shouzhong and introduced: "This Miss Su Wan is one of the pillars of the Xichu Hall. She has the reputation of a 'wonderful actress' and is the best at ventriloquism. It is said that she is the best in ventriloquism. There is no voice in the world that she cannot imitate. Whether it is a rough man, a young child, or even a cricket parrot, she can imitate it perfectly."
Miss Su Wan smiled and said, "Master Nalan is joking. I can't be called a pillar, I just know a few tricks."
Lu Renjia swallowed his saliva as he listened.
Hey, dear, if you were in bed and blindfolded, wouldn’t it mean that you could be whoever you want?
Even if she is asked to play a cow, that would be enough.
Su Wan handed her beautiful eyes to Jiang Shouzhong, "I heard that Lord Jiang is here to investigate the case. The master specially asked me to entertain you and cooperate with you. If Lord Jiang wants to listen to music, I will arrange it for you. If you want to investigate the case, just give me the order, and I will definitely cooperate.”
"Can I go to your backyard?"
Jiang Shouzhong got to the point directly.
The purpose of Jiang Shouzhong's visit to Xichu Hall was very simple, which was to visit the place where He Lanlan was detained last time. As for whether the other party would let him see it, he didn't care. Anyway, he just wanted to explore the bottom line of Xichu Hall.
“Okay.”
Su Wan nodded lightly.
The group of people walked around the corridor and came to the backyard of Xi Chu Pavilion.
Jiang Shouzhong saw the attic that was burned down by Xia He. When he got closer, he seemed to be able to smell the pungent smell of smoke in the air. The ground was littered with charred wood and broken furniture.
“A few days ago, a maid accidentally knocked over an oil lamp and the water leaked out.”
Seeing Jiang Shouzhong looking at the attic, Su Wan sighed helplessly and explained softly, "Fortunately, no one was hurt. The master plans to dismantle and rebuild after a while."
Jiang Shouzhong said oh, glanced at Xia He, the instigator, and continued to wander around casually.
Soon, he came to the familiar place where Xia He Qiuye saved people before. There are still traces of the fight between Qin Shier and Qiu Ye here, but there are no patrolling guards.
After walking around, Jiang Shouzhong's eyes fell in front of a house.
The house looks very ordinary, no different from the house where ordinary servants sleep. But according to the area drawn on the map at that time, Qiuye rescued He Lanlan here.
And Qiuye rescued people very quickly at that time without encountering too many obstacles.
“Can I briefly search these houses?”
Jiang Shouzhong asked.
Su Wan glanced at Nalan Xie without leaving any trace, and said with a chuckle: "I know that Master Jiang is here for the evil spirit case, but it seems that Master Jiang's purpose is very clear, and he went straight to this place. , It’s not like he was specifically searching for evil spirit.”
“You guess.”
Jiang Shouzhong smiled and didn’t bother to pay attention to the other party’s temptation.
Seeing the look from Nalan Xie, Su Wan waved her hands to the servants to open all the doors, "Mr. Jiang, just check whatever you want. There are also some cellars and other things that I can open for you." .”
"Thank you."
Jiang Shouzhong was not polite and pretended to look around the rooms with his hands behind his back.
When we arrived at the house where Qiuye saved people, there was only a large shop, a wardrobe, a washbasin and other daily necessities. Other than that, there's nothing special about it.
It looks like this is where the servants live.
When Qiuye entered the room at that time, he only saw He Lanlan lying unconscious on the bed. The whole process was relatively smooth. As for the other imprisoned girls, I didn't see them.
However, according to what Zheng Shanqi said at the time, he saw many women trapped.
After successfully rescuing people, Jiang Shouzhong didn't think much about it. He thought that Xi Chu Guan might be doing something to He Lanlan alone, so he locked her in the house alone, unintentionally facilitating Qiuye's rescue.
Jiang Shouzhong didn't see anything unusual and left the house.
When he walked out of the room, he accidentally saw that the corners of Suwan's lips seemed to be slightly raised with a hint of disdain.
Nalanye crossed his arms and followed lazily from beginning to end.
He looked at Jiang Shouzhong like a clown.
He did not deny Jiang Shouzhong's ability to investigate the case, but he scorned this guy's search that obviously had other purposes. Even if Xi Chu Pavilion is willing to open the door for you to take a look, what can you see?
It would be too naive to really want to use this to demonstrate against Xi Chu Guan.
“Brother Jiang, why don’t you find more manpower and check carefully?”
Nalanye suggested.
Although it was a well-intentioned suggestion, the irony was obvious.
Jiang Shouzhong ignored him and asked Miss Suwan, "I want to talk to your master, is that okay?"
Suwan shook her head, "I'm sorry, Master Jiang, the master is busy. In order to entertain other distinguished guests, you can come at another time, but it is not certain whether you can see my master."
Jiang Shouzhong understood, "That is to say, I am not qualified to see him now, right. "
Su Wan pursed her lips and smiled, "If Mr. Jiang thinks so, then that's it." The woman is too lazy to pretend, and her ridicule value is full.
Jiang Shouzhong smiled and prepared to leave.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly fixed on a woodshed.
At that time, Qiuye disliked him as a burden, so he asked him to wait in the woodshed. While waiting, I heard a cry. Unfortunately, he was forcefully dragged away by Qiuye before he had time to check.
Seeing the woodshed at this moment, Jiang Shou couldn't help but feel curious.
He hesitated and walked towards the woodshed.
Everyone was confused and didn't understand why Jiang Shouzhong suddenly ran to the woodshed. Su Wan and Nalan Xie looked at each other, their eyes equally full of doubts.
Xia He thought of the woodshed, but he didn't understand the other party's purpose.
"Don't follow me, I'm going to pee."
As he walked to the door of the woodshed, Jiang Shouzhong turned around and smiled at everyone. Everyone was stunned.
The corner of Suwan's mouth twitched, and she smiled and said: "Master Jiang, the latrine is not far away, I will take you there."
"I can't hold it in anymore, I just don't have the quality."
After Jiang Shouzhong finished speaking, he entered the woodshed and closed the door.
Su Wan looked at Nalan Xie with a gloomy face and asked with her eyes what the hell this guy was doing.
Nalanxie was confused.
Facing the woman's question, he shook his head gently to signal the other party to calm down.
It’s just a woodshed, it’s up to him to take care of it.
Entering the woodshed, Jiang Shouzhong looked around, and there was no difference from last time.
He walked to the pyre in the corner where the crying was coming from. He listened carefully and found no movement, and then slowly separated the pyre.
The corner is empty.
Jiang Shouzhong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.
"Brother, are you looking for me?"
A young girl's voice suddenly came from behind.
The sound was so sudden that Jiang Shouzhong almost jumped up in fright, and the hair on his body stood up.
He subconsciously placed one hand on the Seven Killing Sword, and the other hand habitually held down the fire gun at his waist. When he turned around, he saw in front of him a short girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.
The girl was wearing coarse clothes and had a birthmark on her face. Her face was dark and she looked somewhat delicate.
The girl's whole body was filled with a faint white glow.
This is exactly the same as the dead people Jiang Shouzhong had seen before.
Obviously there is a girl’s soul in front of her.
Yes, I saw a ghost again.
Jiang Shouzhong laughed to himself, but after seeing the girl's appearance clearly, he was a little dazed.
Jiang Shouzhong opened his mouth to ask, then glanced at the closed door, then bent down and kept his voice as low as possible, covering his mouth with one hand, and asked in a low voice: "Little girl, what is your name?"
The girl timidly said: "My name is He Lanlan."
——
The bronze incense burner on the table burned sandalwood, filling the air with a sense of tranquility. breath.
The tiger-faced old man turned on the light on the desk, gently unfolded a blood-stained envelope, and looked at it carefully in front of the light.
A young man sat opposite the old man.
The man is tall and straight, with a jade-like face and a sense of eternity between his brows.
It’s just that compared to the noble aura of books, what is revealed in the man is more of a scoundrel. Whether it is his sitting posture or his expression, he reveals a cynical and dandy temperament.
“I just saw a man with six doors coming to investigate the case. I wondered if I was dazzled.”
The young man put his feet on the table, put his hands behind his head, and held a valuable slender purple pen in his mouth. "You, a tiger, will one day be bullied?"
Mr. Hu said helplessly: "A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor. If I really can't find that bottle of evil spirit, why should I let that kid Jiang Mo seek my bad luck? But it's just a good idea to weigh that kid's weight. , if you are satisfied, you can use it in the future."
The young man said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that the kid will poke you into a hornet's nest?"
"He doesn't have that ability yet. "
Mr. Hu said arrogantly, "The chess pieces I like will be firmly held in my hands. They will fall wherever I let them. He has no ability to jump out of the chessboard. "
< br>
The young man clicked his tongue and said, "You look down on the little guy like that? Be careful of capsizing in the gutter."
Master Hu looked up at the young man, and when he was about to speak, the other man waved his hand, "Call me Mr. Qi."
>
Master Hu smiled and said: "Master Qi, you said he is a minion, how can he still capsize?"
"Okay, you have the ability to be crazy."
Mr. Qi threw the Zihao pen into the pen holder and asked casually, "I heard that the girl failed?"
Mr. Hu sighed, "That girl He Lanlan is the best seedling I have ever encountered. It's a pity that the Nether Demonic Qi has been lost, otherwise it would have been very likely to succeed. The girl is already dead. I originally planned to put the broken pieces inside her body." The demon soul was refined, but she didn't expect to be snatched away by Jiang Yi."
"Then she will suffer a lot," Mr. Qi murmured.
Master Hu nodded, "It is indeed a bitter experience. Judging from the appearance, the Xuan Yin Qi in He Lanlan's body is still there, but the body's soul is dead, which means that the Xuan Yin Qi is all death Qi. Once Jiang Yi uses He Lanlan to treat her symptoms, the lifeless energy will make her miserable. At least for the next few months, the woman will be lying on the bed."
Mr. Qi became happy and said. He raised a wicked smile,
"You want me to help her treat her illness? You know, what I like most is this kind of older, mature woman. If she is Having her wrapped around you will definitely make people forget to leave.”
Mr. Tiger said softly: "You can go if you want to, and you will be responsible for the consequences."
"It was just a joke."
Master Qi twisted his neck and said with regret, "I am now I still have to remain a child, and I have already sworn that the first woman in my life will be the Queen Mother Xiao. General Luo has promised me that after the year is over, I will personally lead the Black Armored Army. Practice your skills.
When the war really starts, I will definitely lead the army to attack the Yanrong King City! Go directly to that bitch’s bed!”
Master Hu looked at me with a look on his face! The angry and arrogant young man did not make any sarcasm.
Because when he was fourteen years old, this young man who was born with supernatural power led three thousand cavalry and assisted General Luo in annihilating twenty thousand Yan Rong heavy cavalry.
In that battle, this young man who was on the battlefield for the first time killed 106 people, which was extremely brave. After that, he went on a series of battles, slaughtered people like hemp, and specially collected the heads of the beheaded barbarians to build a terrifying temple in Beijing, earning him the title of "Little God of Killing".
——
The woodshed door opened and Jiang Shouzhong walked out.
Everyone looked around and saw that there was indeed a puddle of urine in the woodshed.
Jiang Shouzhong lifted the waistband of his trousers and said to the frowning Suwan: "Miss Suwan, I suddenly remembered something. Someone once reported that your Xichu Hall imprisoned some of the girls you bought and used evil spirits to Make some ulterior secrets."
Su Wan was startled and said calmly: "If you stand too high, you will often be slandered. If Mr. Jiang doesn't believe it, you can continue the search. Xi Chu Guan will never stand in the way."
"Okay, I'm just waiting for your words."
Jiang Shouzhong raised a smile and said to Nalan Xie, "Let's go and look for more. Order some manpower and search carefully."
Nalanye thought the other party was joking and didn't pay attention.
But when he walked out of Xichu Hall and saw Jiang Shouzhong heading towards the Liumen General Office, his expression suddenly changed, "Brother Jiang, you don't really want to find someone, do you?"
Jiang Shouzhong frowned, "Otherwise "
Nalan Xie was really annoyed at this moment, and said in a deep voice:
"Jiang Mo, don't be too willful! In the end, you and the people around you will be harmed. . I have reminded you many times that you should be aware of what should be investigated and what should not be investigated! Even if you take people to the Xichu Pavilion to make a fuss, what will you find out?"
"Isn't it possible to investigate the situation of imprisoning girls, hiding evil spirits, and using them for experiments?" Jiang Shouzhong asked.
Nalan Xie laughed angrily and pointed at the other party, "Okay, I'll play with you. This is your last chance. Don't blame me for not reminding you."
Jiang Shouzhong walked to Xia He and said, He whispered something into the girl's ear.
The girl’s eyes were shocked and unbelievable.
"Go quickly, trust me, otherwise your wife will be in danger." Jiang Shouzhong looked serious, without any hint of joking.
Xia He nodded and left in a hurry.
After looking at the direction of Xichu Pavilion, Jiang Shouzhong suddenly changed his mind and asked Zhang Yunwu and the others to go to the Sixth Gate, while he went to Ran Mansion.
At this time, it’s time to find a wife to take over the situation.
I don’t know if the other party will help him.
After all, once this fire is lit, he doesn’t know how strong it will burn, but he feels that it will definitely burn some people.
