flutter

It is said to be a flower viewing feast, but after passing the Moon Cave Gate, there are fewer flowers. The neat stone road is surrounded by low fences on both sides, and the branches of ancient trees are blooming wantonly.

The Moon Cave Gate separated the front hall from the backyard, and only a few guards stayed there to patrol.Shi Yan stepped into the secluded path alone, followed the road, and there was also a lotus blooming on the clear pond, but it was different from the scenery of the Yueling Water Pavilion Pavilion. , here can not be said to be upstairs, but a flush garden.There is a weeping willow upside down in the yard, and when the season comes, the catkins will fly away in the air at will.

The literati and poets may be inspired by the scene, but Shi Yan opened his fan to cover himself in front of him.If there is a little affection in a pair of peach blossom eyes, it is the most romantic in the world, but it is a pity that those bottomless black eyes turned around, after all, no emotion was revealed.

There are maids and servants at the door, but there is nothing in the backyard except for the singing of birds.

Too quiet.

No one is close?

Shi Yan's eyes finally landed on the main hall of the backyard. Behind the closed door, there must be that friend he had never met before.

Pushing open the elm wooden door, Shi Yan closed the door and tapped lightly on his palm.As he had guessed, there was only one person in the room: long hair standing up, dressed as a Confucian scholar.

The man was reading the book carefully, when he saw Shi Yan pushed the door open, he was in a daze for a moment, closed the page, got up and cupped his hands: "Mr. must be Mr. Qing Min."

The sky is cool and cool, and the mysterious energy is bright.Qingmin means heaven, and Yanzhe is also Tianqing, which is his nickname.

Although he revealed his identity in one sentence, Shi Yan felt that this person was not Chai Wushou, and as expected, he heard the person continue, "Xiahe Yuanyi 19th year Tanhua, the current imperial eunuch of the Imperial College is upright, Hu Jiangli."

Tanhua two years ago?

It is true that he has a handsome appearance, which is very suitable for the eyes of the current emperor.

Shi Yan looked at him quietly.Even today's imperial court officials appearing here and bearing the name of forming a party for personal gain did not surprise him. Hu Jiangli secretly sighed, it really wasn't a good job, but Shi Yan smiled and greeted the table with a fan : "Why don't we sit down and talk about it in detail?"

Hu Jiangli said that he deserved it.

When the two of them sat down, Hu Jiangli poured him the tea he had brewed long ago, and said, "I am not the person you want to wait for, Mr. Chai. He is not going to show up in the near future." Some ridicule, but I don't know who it is for.After a short break, Hu Jiangli continued to explain: "Hu has once been favored by Chai Gong, and now he is here to repay the favor." After he finished speaking, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Shi Yan.

The three characters Zhifengru on the seal were indeed Chai Wushou's handwriting. Shi Yan took it, and Hu Jiangli continued: "Chai Gong said that this letter must be handed over by Hu himself to the young master. Now Hu's business has been completed. Now, let me take my leave.”

As soon as the words fell, Hu Jiangli got up and was about to leave. Shi Yan ran over the ink stains in his hand and asked the unopened letter first: "Brother, wait a minute, did Brother Chai only leave this letter? Is there anything else you want to give to me?"

Hu Jiangli stopped in his footsteps, sighed lightly, then laughed, and said, "I didn't expect that you really asked." He turned to look at Shi Yan, with all the mockery on his face: "Hu agreed. Chai Gong has two things, sending a letter to the meeting is the first thing, if you ask, I will give you the second thing."

two things?

Why did he have to ask more questions before entrusting this second matter?Why let people go to the meeting for him?How much attention was paid, but Shi Yan didn't ask too much.

Hu Jiangli took out a small sandalwood lock box from the house, put the clever key together on the table and pushed it in Shi Yan's direction, turned and left, and closed the door for Shi Yan.

Shi Yan didn't want to keep him anymore, he opened the letter, and there were uncharacteristically dense and sloppy letters.

……

Shangsu found a random place to bury a bag of gold.

He is a killer.

Gold is the commission this time.

His asking price has always been exorbitantly high, but there is no shortage of rich people who want to do bad things in this world.The customer this time is a bad person, and the business hotel seems to be able to smell the incense of the golden cage in the house. If I remember correctly, it should be a priceless black oil.

Shangsu took out the poison bottle given by the customer, even this bottle is not a thing, I am afraid it is not a product of the official kiln.Let’s say this customer is great, and the extravagant supplies are definitely not ordinary people, but it’s stupid, how can ordinary people afford this thing, there are only a few of the royal family and nobles, and it’s still No. 1 in the world. [-] Prostitutes are connected with each other.

The third prince, Duan Hanshuo.

But who the customer was, and why he bought and killed his ex-lover, had nothing to do with Shangsu, even if it caused some important government affairs, he didn't care.He only thinks about a pair of eyes.

A pair of extremely beautiful eyes.

He knew that those eyes belonged to Chai Wushou, and he guessed that Chai Wushou should also be a beauty.How boring this world is for a prostitute to win the title of the most beautiful woman in the world. Fortunately, there are endless people in the rivers and lakes, after all, no one looks down on Jie Chu. He only mocks the No. 1 prostitute, and then goes after others beauty.

Shangsu doesn't care whether those people are good-looking or not, he just hopes to end the marriage soon, and get the rest of the reward silver so that he can go back and meet Chai Gong.

He knew that the Difeng Banquet was open again, just outside the city.

Thinking that the person whom he had missed for three years would finally meet again, Shang Su couldn't help laughing. Fortunately, there were all kinds of people on the street who were happy, angry, sad, and happy, so he didn't appear to be obtrusive.

Shangsu smiled and looked up to see Hongxiufang.

The world's first workshop.

The No.1 prostitute in the world.

It is not difficult to sneak into Hongxiufang. Although the old bustard of Hongxiufang has already arranged many big men on guard, it is just to guard against those who dare to cause trouble when they are drunk, but for Shangsu, it is just a little more effort.

Jie Chi's room is also easy to know: she is the top brand in Hongxiufang, and naturally it is in the highest Moon Tower in West City.

It is rumored that this Wangyue Tower was the residence of a famous literati in the previous dynasty, but he fell down when he watched the moon. Later, after several generations, he was bought by a brothel, and a brothel prostitute lived in it, which aroused the indignation of many scholars in the world.However, Hongxiufang has both money and many benefactors, no matter how many scholars it offends, there are also how many young people from Wuling.

Thousands of lights in the night market illuminate the green clouds, and there are many people with red sleeves in high-rise buildings.

The roof of Wangyue Tower is the place where Jie Chi lives. The luxury of the No. 1 prostitute in the world is also comparable to her old friend.

Shang Su was amazed in his heart, several maidservants on the roof were busy going in and out, Shang Su followed her to take a look and immediately returned to her boudoir.

Be good, don't look at evil, don't look at evil.

The girl is taking a bath.

Fortunately, Shangsu followed the maidservant, took a look from behind and then withdrew immediately.Everything was vaguely visible in the mist, and mixed with the sweet and greasy incense, Shangsu could only see the pair of butterfly bones as real as if they were illusions, as if they would change shape and fly out if they looked at them one more time.

In a trance, those black eyes appeared in his mind again.

Chai Gong!

The Shangsu calmed down, compared with the bathing place, Jie's boudoir was extremely deserted.There is no such sultry heat, and the fragrance is also a deserted sweet rosin.He took out the poison given by Duan Hanshuo, and the voice echoed in his ears again.

"You can just put this medicine in her meal, you don't need to take more shots, just make sure that she dies from the poison."

Shangsu naturally didn't know what kind of poison the third prince Duan Hanshuo chose to use to deal with his old friend. He looked around the room, there were only a few fruits on the table, and the food had not been served yet.A woman's footsteps sounded, and Shang Su went up the beam to hide her figure again.

It was the servants who prepared the meals, as if they were reprimanded by a servant with status: "If it is too late next time, you don't have to work anymore. There are many people who are quick to do things, and there are many people who want to curry favor with the wooden master." Yes."

The girl who served the food was only obedient, and she was afraid that she would cause trouble if she said a word.

Wooden master?Are you talking about ending?I've never heard that her surname is Mu.Could it be that I found the wrong person?

Impossible, Shang Su rolled his eyes, and saw that majestic maid dismissed all the servants, and went to find Jie Tu to take a bath.Seeing the opportunity, Shangsu sprinkled some colorless and odorless poison on the spoon, chopsticks and rice, and sneaked into the beam again.

He still didn't understand, since it was such a powerful poison, why did the customer specially hire a stranger to kill him and kill a famous brand—even if the poison was the best in the world, no one would pay too much attention to it—— The high-ranking person must have many confidantes, or more bluntly, force-feed her a bowl of poisoned wine, how can a brothel girl resist?

But it is not Shangsu's job to get to the bottom of it. Since he has accepted the gold, he only needs to do what the customer wants.

After a while, Jie Chi came back after taking a bath, her hair was still wet, the maid took out the ointment and wiped it carefully after she sat down.Shang Su, who was leaning on the beam, could only see the woman's side face and chin, but she could still see that her skin was as white as jade and her lips were bright red, she really lived up to the reputation of the most beautiful woman in the world.

Jie Chi picked up the long chopsticks, and swallowed the unknown poison as Shang Su wished.

After a while, there was still food left, but Jie Chi stopped chopsticks and said, "Take it."

The maidservant still had doubts: "Master Mu?"

Jie Chi reprimanded: "Withdraw!" Her voice was a little low, and Shangsu felt a little familiar for a while, but couldn't remember how he had heard her voice before.

Everyone backed away, and Jie Chi put one hand on the table to support herself, bent her body and laughed suddenly: "Duan Hanshuo called you?" At the same time, blood dripped from the corner of her mouth.

Because of the poisonous hair and suppression, this voice has lost its melodiousness enough to attract people's attention.

Every part of her body seemed to be condensed with substantial pain, and the unavoidable pain almost made her eyes go black. Jie Chi stood up with strong support, and her figure staggered towards the side of the moon-watching tower without guardrails, dripping blood Something whispered on his lips: "I can't die in this building, and Jie Chi can't die in Wangyue Tower."

Shangsu fell to the ground from the beam, avoiding the bloodstains she left on the ground all the way, Jie Chu heard the movement, but didn't stop and didn't want to find out.

Her movements became more and more sluggish, and the scene in front of her eyes was gradually blurred into black by the pain, and mixed with the distant moon.Even the small movement of raising her head almost exhausted her remaining strength. The cold night wind on the roof made her feel chilly. Jie Chi raised her hand, just like the previous owner of the Moon Tower, she looked at the moon and fell down. building.

The merchant in the house watched her fall in the moonlight and shatter like the moon in the water, without making a sound.
