After the failed assassination of the powerful minister

After staying in Jiangnan for two days, Cen Xian decided to go back to Beijing.The situation in Shangjing was treacherous, if he didn't go back, Zhang Jiucheng, the deputy envoy of the Jinyiwei, might not be able to suppress those ghosts and monsters who came to trouble Jinyiwei.

Ye Tiao also found a solution. The children of Nie Hai, the head of the Suoming Sect, happened to be in need of a teacher. Seeing that Ye Tiao was a well-educated girl, the wife of the head of the door liked Ye Tiao very much, so she immediately decided to ask Ye Tiao to stay and teach her children to read and write.

Ye Tiao agreed, and Cen Xian was naturally happy with the arrangement, so he stopped asking about Ye Tiao's affairs.

The date of the return trip was set on November [-]th, and it would be one more day, so Cen Xian took advantage of this last bit of time to wander around the south of the Yangtze River.Jiang Jinyue twirled the sugar figurine's bamboo stick beside him, stuffed the sugar figurine into Xiao Liu's mouth, and then lamented to Cen Xian: "I thought you came to Jiangnan for business, but I didn't think you were really Come and have a stroll..."

Jiang Jinyue said: "I want to play for two more days..."

Cen Xian: "If you play Jiang Yuan again, you will have to come to Jiangnan to find you."

Jiang Jinyue's face collapsed when she heard the words, and she stopped talking.

The three of them walked together, and unknowingly came to the largest brothel in the south of the Yangtze River - Manhualou.

Cen Xian stopped, his eyes fell on this brothel.It was daytime at this time, and there were not many girls soliciting customers in front of the brothel, but they were lively and attractive enough.

Jiang Jinyue thought he was going to play in the brothel, immediately became interested, grabbed Cen Xian and ran into the brothel, Cen Xian was unprepared, staggered by Jiang Jinyue, followed him into the brothel.

Cen Xian was choked by the smell of powder in the brothel, "Jiang Jinyue?! Aren't you afraid that Jiang Yu'an will break your leg?"

Jiang Yuan was very strict with Jiang Jinyue. When he was in Beijing, let alone a brothel, Jiang Jinyue had never been in a restaurant. He was afraid that Jiang Yuan would bring the servants of the Marquis of Anning to give him family law.

Now that I came to Jiangnan, I wanted to go to places I hadn’t been to. Hearing Cen Xian’s words, he hurriedly said, “He’s not in Jiangnan... Besides, if you don’t tell me, I won’t talk about Xiaoliu, who knows? I went to the brothel."

Cen Xian: "..."

little six:"……"

"He's as old-fashioned as you are, and he doesn't make me happy with a coffin face all day long," Jiang Jinyue said endlessly, "Don't worry about whether he breaks my legs or not, he's going back. It’s about time, people, enjoy yourself in time!”

The Second Young Master Jiang, who wanted to have fun in time, dragged Cen Xian into the second floor of the brothel. Cen Xian's unparalleled beauty attracted boos from a group of girls and boys, and even wanted to jump on Cen Xian directly. !

The delicate-skinned, tender-fleshed girl twisted her water snake's waist, her sweet and greasy voice repeated over and over again: "My lord- let's play with my slave--"

After speaking, he put his hand on Cen Xian's waist.

Xiao Liu had no choice but to help Cen Xian block, but he was afraid of hurting others, so he was so tired that he was sweating profusely.

Cen Xian stared at the back of Jiang Jinyue's head expressionlessly, thinking about going back, he quietly wrote a letter to Jiang Yuan, asking Jiang Yuan to break Jiang Jinyue's leg.

And inside the Suomingmen Gate, Shuo Wang was sitting on the roof, and Ye Yu was standing below, holding a small box in his hand. The lady from the official family who came to Beijing said softly: "Miss Ye, we have found out that Mr. Cen is in the brothel, you can go find him again tonight."

Shuo Wang paused while playing darts, did the old fox go to the brothel?

Ye Yu bit his lip: "In that case, I'll go look for him again tonight."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shuo Wang jumped off the roof: "What do you want him for?"

Ye Yuan said truthfully: "He saved my life and buried my father, so naturally I should thank him personally."

After saying that, Ye Yuan took out two sachets from the small box and put them in Shuowang's hands, "Thank you, Mr. Shuo and Sister Nanyan, for saving me. I sewed them all night. It's a bit rough. I hope you don't dislike them." .”

She changed from a young lady of the Ye family to a commoner, and could only sew a sachet to express her gratitude.

It can be considered caring.

Shuo Wang picked it up casually, "Thank you."

After picking up Shuowang, he went out and walked outside Qinggui Lane.

He was a little restless, what was Cen Xian doing in the brothel?

Although he himself didn't have a deep relationship with Cen Xian, Shuo Wang held his chin, but he had an intuition that Cen Xian was not someone who would hang out in brothels.He immediately wondered if something happened to Cen Xian, and wanted to investigate.

Shuo Wang's handsome face darkened, and his bright peach eyes suddenly darkened, thinking of the words that Cen Xian said with his eyes open in the carriage——

"What I want to know, I already know."

But soon, Shuo Wang shook his head.

What Cen Xian wants to know may not be what he thinks.The situation in the court is treacherous, the prime minister Chen Xiangyu, the king of Jing Wei Chen, and the commander of Jinyiwei Cen Xian are three pillars.Ye Wenwen was a minister of the Ministry of War and one of Chen Xiangyu's subordinates, so he knew a lot of things.

What Cen Xian asked might not be related to what he thought.

Shuo Wang stopped walking and stopped walking outside Qinggui Lane.

Besides, what about Cen Xian has nothing to do with him?

Apart from the relationship between the victim and the killer, and the relationship between the killer and the target, they don't seem to have any other relationship.

So Shuowang turned around and went back to the Suomingmen, thinking to find some brothers to drink flower wine, but as soon as he entered the gate, he saw Zifu, the second killer in the gate.

At this time, this guy was wearing a purple dress embroidered with fancy patterns, a gold-inlaid jade hairpin, and holding a fan painted with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and was going out very ostentatiously, like a flowering peacock with its tail open. .

Shuo Wang: "..."

When he saw Shuo Wang, his eyes lit up as if seeing his own parents, and he stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Shuo Wang's hand: "Brother Wang, long time no see, I miss you so much!!"

Shuo Wang, whom Zifu met yesterday: "..."

"Accompany me to Manhualou for a walk," Zifu tempted, "Today, the well-known Qingmei in Manhualou is going to sell herself!!"

Shuo Wang: "Then you go by yourself, what are you doing with me?"

"Then Qingmei is a man." Zifu's tone was slightly exaggerated, "I heard that he is very good-looking. The news that he is going to sell himself is spread everywhere. I just want to join in the fun...to watch it alone How boring!"

"It is said that there are Turkic people who want to take a picture of him," Zifu marveled, "How beautiful is this, don't you really want to see it?"

Shuo Wang paused.

Turkic?brothel?And Cen Xian?

Shuo Wang's mind changed sharply.

After a while, he turned around and smiled at Zifu: "I suddenly became interested again, let's go, let's go to Manhualou."

So the two left Qinggui Lane one after the other and headed towards Manhualou.

They booked a Tian Zi brand room on the second floor, just across from Cen Xian and his party.

Jiang Jinyue had just gone outside to pick up a game of chess, and when she was about to enter the door, she saw Shuowang and Zifu walking in from the corner of her eye.He let out a "huh", opened the curtain and put down the chess, and said to Cen Xian, "Why did he also come to the brothel?"

Cen Xian's closed eyes slowly opened: "Who are you talking about?"

"Suowang," Jiang Jinyue set up the chessboard and chess cup, "Shall we play a game?"

"Oh." Cen Xian's voice was moody, and he couldn't hear his emotions clearly. He picked up a sunspot and landed it on the chessboard.

Xiao Liu muffled a laugh: "Second Master Jiang dragged Master to the brothel to play chess?"

Jiang Jinyue laughed twice, and Cen Xian made another move next to his white stone, and said slowly: "He dare not play, for fear that his brother will find out."

Jiang Jinyue glared at Cen Xian.

Today Manhualou was already very lively before nightfall, Xiao Liu came back after inquiring about it for a while and told Jiang Jinyue and Cen Xian who had been playing chess for half an hour.

"It is said that today there is a young lady who sells her body," Xiao Liu added tea to them, "he is still a man, these people call him Qingmei."

It's not uncommon for a brothel to have men. Cen Xian pondered for a while, but didn't speak.

Xiao Liu continued: "The rooms of the Tianzi shop on the second floor are already full. It seems that there are quite a few dignitaries and dignitaries joining in the fun today. Master, I also saw Turkic people who came here for this."

Cen Xian and Jiang Jinyue paused at the same time, and looked at Xiao Liu.

"It's fine if they're just ordinary Turkic people who come to the south of the Yangtze River to travel or do business," Xiaoliu said with a worried look on his face, "but I heard that some of them called the leader of the Turkic people Darhan."

Darhan is the title of the Turkic nobles, and the Turkic people with this title have high positions in the Turkic tribes.Cen Xian frowned indiscriminately, and said to himself, "What are the Turkic nobles doing in Jiangnan?"

Xiao Liu shook his head: "I don't know, I see that Darhan is wearing animal teeth, his hair is braided with animal skins, and he is paired with gold and jade earrings. It seems that he is not low even among nobles."

"But they came too late," Xiao Liu said, "the house in Tianzihao is gone, and they are arguing with the old bustard."

Hearing this, Cen Xian got up and went out the door: "I'll go and have a look."

Jiang Jinyue and Xiaoliu also hurriedly got up and followed.

The bustard downstairs was laughing with the Turkic people: "Hey, there are really no houses in the big name today. I will arrange a few girls for the masters as an apology."

The leading Turkic man is Darhan in Xiao Liu's mouth. He is dressed in a Hu suit, his long hair is braided and hangs down, he has a high nose and deep eyes, and his facial features are profound.

He spoke blunt Central Plains dialect: "I want a room from Tian Zi Brand."

From above, Cen Xian listened to the old bustard chattering with these Turks, his slender and cold fingers tapping on the wooden railing.

In order to prevent those girls and boys from rushing forward again, Cen Xian still put on a mask that covered half of his face at this time.

Finally he turned his head to Xiao Liu and said, "Talk to that old bustard, if those Turkic people are willing, they can come with us, and I will pay the rent."

Xiao Liu agreed, and went downstairs to talk to the bustard.The old bustard seemed to be pardoned, and explained to that Darhan for a while, and the Darhan nodded, reluctantly coping with it.

Cen Xian went back to the room first, and waited in the room. He did not take off the mask, but still wore it on his face.

After a while, those Turkic people opened the curtain and came in. Darhan, the leader, nodded to him: "Thank you very much."

Cen Xian nodded: "It's easy to do, sit down."

"I am Famous Mountain," Cen Xian casually made up a title, "What do you call your Excellency?"

This Darhan said succinctly: "Hole."

Cen Xian's tone was flat: "Mr. Huo is good."

Huo Le looked at the thin man in front of him calmly, and finally his eyes fell on the mask on Cen Xian's face.

Huo Le was afraid that he would frighten this weak-looking Central Plains man by being too rough, so he tried to keep his tone as light as possible: "Why are you wearing a mask?"

"Just wear it for fun." After carefully looking at Huo Le, Cen Xian confirmed that none of the subordinates who followed the Turkic king before had such a person, so he took off the mask casually, "It's a fresh picture."

Cen Xian clearly saw a flash of surprise in Huo Le's eyes.

Standing behind Cen Xian, Jiang Jinyue thought that Cen Xian was using him as a trick.

After all, Cen Xian's face is really pretty!

Suddenly there was thunderous cheers and boos from below, they were all attracted to the sight, and looked down, only to see a man on the stage wearing a thin gauze dress, sitting on the bed with chains on his wrists and ankles, with a handsome face , looks better than Pan An.

Holler looked at it for a while, then turned his head away without interest.

Compared to Qingmei at the bottom, the man next to him named Wangshan suits him better.

He smiled and said to Cen Xian, "The people below are no better than you."
