Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

It's not that Qing Xuan has a good eye for people, but Huang Ya is really an eyesore among all the beauties, big and small, with curvy figures. She has sparse yellow hair, eyes like a little turtle, and a body like a toilet bowl...

In a brothel, it is extremely rare to have a young lady with such a figure. Huang Ya happened to be serving Qiu Niang. Qing Xuan often talked to Huang Ya, saying that you are a very good-looking girl, with nice eyes and nose, but you are too fat, which is a pity, otherwise you will definitely become the top star in Luoshui Tower in the future.

This is really a heartless statement. Apart from anything else, Huang Ya's eyes are as small as her name suggests, and are about the same size as soybeans. What kind of top lady has eyes as big as soybeans?

But Huang Ya didn't think so. She felt that Qingxuan was the most discerning person she had ever met, and what he said was exactly what she wanted. Gradually, she became dissatisfied with Qiu Niang.

Huang Ya felt that Qiu Niang let her eat so much fat because she was afraid that she would steal her limelight when she grew up, so she let her eat fat on purpose.

Having been in the martial arts world for so long, Qingxuan was clear in his mind. He secretly felt that Huang Ya was an ungrateful girl. Qiu Niang was probably letting her get fat on purpose so that she wouldn't have to be a prostitute in the future. This was called "a dog biting Lu Dongbin and not knowing how to appreciate a good person's kindness."

But he was able to take advantage of this. He gave Huang Ya ten strings of money and said that he liked Qiu Niang, but could not afford the redemption money, so he wanted to secretly take Qiu Niang away. Although he could not marry her as his principal wife, the women in his family were very gentle and virtuous and could not give birth to children, so they would definitely not torture Qiu Niang. When Qiu Niang gave birth to a child in the future, it would be the same as his principal wife. Huang Ya agreed after only thinking about it for one night.

She had never considered what kind of family would take a concubine if they couldn't afford the ransom money, and if they were taking a concubine to have children, why would they choose a prostitute? She hadn't considered whether Qiu Niang was willing to be a concubine to such a man.

When Huang Ya was interrogated at the Dali Temple, she kept saying that she was doing it for Qiu Niang's own good and that Qiu Niang was already living a good life. It was not until Wang Leisheng picked up a head with the flesh removed and threw it in front of her that she was frightened to the point of defecating and pissing.

In fact, Qiu Niang disappeared after lunch on the 30th. Huang Ya put the sleeping pills given by Qing Xuan in the meal. Qiu Niang fainted after eating it. Qing Xuan drove a carriage and waited outside. Huang Ya used a rope to hang Qiu Niang down.

Then Huang Ya secretly prepared the food, cleaned up all the traces, pretended that Qiu Niang was taking a nap in the room, and went to wash clothes. It was not until the afternoon that he revealed Qiu Niang's disappearance.

Qingxuan was very busy that day. He had to get rid of all four ladies on the same day, so the time schedule had to be very tight. Fortunately, he was able to hand them over to Li Sheng smoothly in the end.

As for the ink mixed with human oil, it was indeed sold to him by Li Sheng. Li Sheng had been selling human oil in the ghost market for a long time and had been mixing ink with it. The oil used was scraped from the corpses in the Shanghaofang mass grave.

He had quite a few clients, and Qingxuan wanted to take it directly after knowing about it, but Lisheng disagreed, saying that things should be treated separately and what should be should be treated separately. That was why he spent money to buy it reluctantly.

Qing Xuanyuan also planned to study this human ink and make a living from it himself. Li Sheng was so generous, it was obvious that this business was very promising!

But he was also very afraid of those corpses. The talismans he drew with the ink sold very well on the first day of opening. He met two big customers in a row. Qingxuan really felt that he was going to be rich. He went to the casino to play for several days and nights, and lost all his money. Then he returned to Wutong Temple where he stayed and drew some talismans to sell, and was caught by Cui Bianxu.

Jiang Shangxian's expression shifted like a face-changing chef at a hot pot restaurant. "Why would he take you to the ghost market to find the raccoon after he did something like that?"

Originally, he was just selling fake talismans. Even if he cheated Wang Leisheng, so what? At most, he would receive ten or twenty strokes of the cane.

It is true that Qingxuan is the reason for both success and failure.

Qingxuan completed his mission and got the ink. After arriving in Chang'an City, his gambling addiction came back and he never went to look for Lisheng again. He thought that Lisheng wanted to kill these four young ladies, but he wouldn't do it so quickly, after all, they would not set off until after the New Year.

What if it is killed early and the skin is no longer fresh?

In addition, the terrain of the Ghost Market was complicated. He felt that when they got there, Cui Bianxu and the others would focus on catching Li Sheng. If he could escape, he could just leave Chang'an and wait until the storm was over before seeing what happened. As for Li Sheng's money, although he wanted it, he didn't want to be beaten even more, especially after being hit by Wang Leisheng, which made him feel like he was dying.

If Li Sheng was caught and the matter was exposed, he would be able to threaten Yan Yin even more. He would go back to his senior brother and extort more money from him. The world is so big, and with money at his disposal, how could he not have a place to stay?

Combining all things together, although Wu Sanniang's name did not appear from beginning to end, Cui Bianxu had a man's intuition that the person whose face was to be changed was her!

But even so, there was one thing he couldn't understand: "According to the guards, Wu Sanniang had a cut on her face, and it could be healed. Why did she need to change her face? And she had to change it to a specific facial feature. What exactly did she want to do?"

It was normal for women to value their appearance, but as a man, it didn't matter to him. As a man, as long as he could look presentable, that was enough. He understood that Wu Sanniang had been disfigured and wanted to remove the scars, but he could do a face transplant...

He felt that this woman was going to cause trouble again!

Jiang Shangxian strongly agreed that he had put the blame on Wu Sanniang. Her woman's intuition told her that it was Wu Sanniang who was to blame!

"This is not difficult. Let Qingxuan tell me which parts of the four ladies are needed by Li Sheng, and then piece them together." Jiang Shangxian is also very concerned about Wu Sanniang, the person who almost stabbed him. This person's thought process is not something she can keep up with. What if one day she thinks of herself and feels annoyed just thinking about it, and stabs herself again in anger?

Cui Bianxu rubbed his brows and, with a bland expression, took out a stack of papers and placed them on the table, motioning for Jiang Shangxian to read them. "The portrait is still somewhat distorted. The facial features that Li Sheng gave him are two pairs of eyes, three mouths, and two noses."

The raccoon was really cunning. Qing Xuan didn't know which one he was going to use. In the cave where he lived, all the human skins were destroyed. It must have been destroyed when he secretly returned to the cave after chasing them out.

As for human oil, there was still a lot of it left, and the human oil lamps were used for lighting in the cave.

Ning Yuye also said that he had never heard of the face-changing technique. Apart from other things, everyone's facial contours were different. When it came time to implement it, he was afraid that slight adjustments would be needed.
