Chapter 23: Vasher

The rule of Yunling Newspaper is to do six days off and one day off.

To be more precise, the end of the week's work is at noon every Saturday, and the next day and a half is a holiday.

Today is Saturday.

In the morning, I finished sorting out the draft of the "night attack" incident in the newspaper office with Zhou Ze, and asked my colleagues who commissioned the collection of information about private pharmaceutical workshops yesterday, but they did not find any information about Lingzhi Hall.

Lu Jiu, who had found nothing, had to hope that the Oiran of the Peony Building could help him open a breakthrough, so he carried a bamboo cage containing a weasel and a black cloth to a baked cake stall opposite the back door of the Peony Building and waited.

A short and sharp voice came out from the bamboo cage on the table from time to time, and Lu Jiu didn't care about it, this guy was limited to calling twice, and he didn't dare to hit the bamboo cage.

Last night in the inn, Lu Jiu had already used practical actions to let it know what the result of the fuss was.

"Guest, the two vermicelli minced meat pancakes you wanted. ”

The two baked cakes wrapped in oil paper were steaming, Lu Jiu held them in his hand, and looked at the figure who sneaked out like a thief at the back door.

"Hey, go to Vasher to see a show, you won't be able to catch up if you don't hurry up!"

Lu Jiu saw the other party looking at this side and knew that she was not sure if she was the person from last night, so she hesitated, simply lifted the bamboo cage and shouted loudly.

The so-called "Washer", in fact, is a collection of various activities of the entertainment venue, with a more official name is the commercial amusement area, although the predecessor has not been to the Peony Building, but the Washer in the south of Qingding City is often there, so there are quite rich memories of this aspect.

When Lu Jiu was looking for Lingzhi Hall in the south of the city before, he had met the propagandists of the Qingding City Tile House program, but he was busy looking for Lingzhi Hall at that time and didn't pay much attention to it.

With Lu Jiu's shout, he was thinking about whether the young man on the other side of the street, who looked younger than himself, was the person last night, Yin Yue finally hurriedly lowered the hat on his head and walked quickly through the street.

As the cash cow of the Peony Building, it is not difficult for her to leave the Peony Building, provided that there are at least two maidservants and three guards by her side, but this time for the weasel worth 2 gold leaves, she also let it go.

As Lu Jiu said before, if the county government knew that she had raised demon beasts and caused several guests to be injured, she couldn't afford the consequences!

Therefore, during the lunch break, she forcibly asked one of her maidservants to exchange clothes with her on the grounds of the woolen blanket and dresser that had been soiled last night, and left through the back door under the cover of another maidservant, thinking that she would quickly settle the matter and bring Wong Tai Sin back before nightfall.

"What kind of expression do you have, what, do you want me to take out that knife from yesterday and show you again?"

Lu Jiu looked at the woman who was peeking at him, took a bite of the baked cake casually, and asked in a low voice.

"No, I'm just a little ...... There are some worries. ”

Having seen Lu Jiu grabbing Wong Tai Sin with one arm last night, Yin Yue couldn't help but worry, this time she was forced to travel alone, the other party really wanted to plot wrongdoing, and she had no room to resist at all.

Of course, she also vaguely understood in her heart that it was unlikely that the person in front of her would attack her.

"I really want to do something to you, you won't survive last night, it's still the same sentence, as long as what you said before is true, I won't do anything to you, and the guy in this cage will be returned to you intact. ”

Lu Jiu knew what Yin Yue was thinking, and took the initiative to reassure her.

The blood of a weasel couldn't meet Lu Jiu's needs at all, and what he really cared about was the way behind it.

Neither of them had the intention of wasting time in front of this baked cake stall, and walked directly to the destination after taking a photo, the peony building itself is in the south of the city, and it is an entertainment venue, only two streets away from the washer, and it can be reached in about twenty minutes on foot.

For Lu Jiu, this journey is nothing, I thought that in the past, it was not a float or a car Oiran who went out would complain, after all, the street was already chaotic, and there was a light rain that made people have to use umbrellas, and it was inevitable to stumble when walking

I didn't think she would walk quite steadily.

In order not to be recognized, Yin Yue, who was wearing a simple skirt, not only wore a hat, but also a silk scarf around her neck, and even Lu Jiu, who was standing in front of her, couldn't see her face clearly because of her height, but this did not prevent her from looking around, looking at the surrounding markets, and at the same time keeping up with Lu Jiu's progress.

Lu Jiu saw it in his eyes, and when he thought of her state when she danced in the Peony Building last night, she understood that people who often practice dancing on weekdays looked delicate and soft, but their physical strength was very good.

Realizing this, Lu Jiu no longer deliberately slowed down.

Turning a corner, the number of pedestrians on the street is increasing, even in this rainy weather, it is a bit lively.

Most of these people are traveling in groups, some are young people of the same age, wearing the uniform of the academy that has not yet been changed, and there are also middle-aged people with children in their arms and their wives who are in charge of holding umbrellas.

In addition, Lu Jiu also saw a carriage with several large wooden boxes tied to the back, shouting vigorously about the place where he performed, the coachman who invited people to the stage, and the car ride, with costumes painted on his face, showing that he was the actor who rushed to the scene.

These people basically walked in one direction, and even if Lu Jiu stood here, he could vaguely hear the faint music and cheers coming from there.

I also want to know that it must be the area where Vasher is located.

Looking along the crowd, a vermilion-painted archway stands at the end of the street, with the word "Washer" written on it, and under it is the most densely populated place on this street.

Don't get me wrong, there's no show there, it's just that you need to go through there to get to the inside of Vasher, and pay a basic entrance fee.

On the other side of the archway, there is a complex of buildings that resemble an amusement park, except that there is no merry-go-round or pirate ship, instead there is a stage for various shows and other novelties.

"It's so lively......

From the moment she saw the archway, most of the stones in Yin Yue's heart fell, after all, if the other party really wanted to do bad things, it was impossible to bring her to such a crowded place.

Due to her height, Yin Yue, who was standing next to Lu Jiu, could only see the crowded streets, but this still did not prevent her from feeling novel.

It's not that she hasn't seen a lively scene, but most of the time she is the one in the middle of the crowd, and it's just the crowd.

As soon as she thought about it, she suddenly felt that running out so sneakily didn't seem to be as unacceptable as she imagined.
