Chapter 12: Covert Investigation (3)
Hearing Zhang Jizu say that he was going out overnight, Zhao Shengnan immediately came to his senses again, "Where are you going?" I'm going too. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"That's not good, it's not appropriate for you to go to that place, right?" Zhang Jizu hurriedly stopped and said.
"What's out of place? I might be able to help you out. ”
"I, I'm going to Mei Lane, it's not a place for girls to go, you better not go." Zhang Jizu said again.
"Plum Lane, what is Plum Lane? It doesn't sound like there's anything to be afraid of, but if you don't let me go, I'll go myself, and I'll see what you're so mysterious. Zhao Shengnan said as he stood up and was about to walk out.
Seeing this, Zhang Jizu hurriedly stopped Zhao Shengnan and said, "Okay, okay, I'll take you with me, but when you get there, you have to listen to me, and you have to change your clothes." ”
It was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and the busy and lively Wulin Road was gradually quiet, but in a small alley not far from here, it was a different scene, the sound of singing and laughter could be heard at the mouth of the alley, the smell of wine and meat and rouge gouache mixed together and drifted into the air, and there were strings of eye-catching red lanterns in front of the door of each courtyard. The two figures at the mouth of the alley stood for a while, seemingly hesitating, and then walked in one after the other, occasionally meeting one or two men who were staggering, burping, and smiling evilly.
"What kind of place is this? Why do these people look weird? Zhao Shengnan, who was following behind, asked in a low voice.
"This is Mei Lane, huh?" Zhang Jizu said as he walked.
"Mei Xiang, what is Mei Xiang doing?"
"Hey! Miss Zhao, let me tell you, Meixiang is the famous fireworks and willow lane in Hangzhou, and to put it bluntly, it is a kiln. Zhang Jizu deliberately dragged the last two words very long.
"You, how did you bring me to such a place, it's, it's disgusting!" Zhao Shengnan suddenly realized.
"What? Does the eldest lady regret it? It's too late to regret now, you can go back the way you came! Zhang Jizu said jokingly.
"Zhang Jizu, you are so bad, I said why did you let me change into your clothes, it turns out that you did it on purpose." At this time, Zhao Shengnan was wearing a men's suit, and he was wearing a top hat out of place, and the clothes were extremely ill-fitting, which looked very twisted.
"Oh, you can't wronged a good person, I tried my best to stop it just now, but you didn't listen, and now you blame me, it's so unreasonable." Zhang Jizu pretended to be aggrieved and said.
"You ......" Zhao Shengnan was about to sneer at each other again, but was interrupted by a silent gesture from Zhang Jizu, it turned out that they had already walked to the door of a courtyard with red lanterns, and at this time, a fat woman dressed in a bewitching dress was twisting her fat buttocks to greet her, as if she had seen an old acquaintance, and grinned at Zhang Jizu, "Oh, what kind of fragrant wind blew you here, young master, it's been a long time!" ”
Zhang Jizu was amused in his heart, thinking, "When have I been here?" If you let others know, you will definitely misunderstand. Just thinking about it, I felt that my waist and eyes were poked hard, and Zhang Jizu almost screamed in pain, turned his head to look, and saw that Zhao Shengnan's big eyes were staring at him fiercely, Zhang Jizu could only smile bitterly, and then immediately turned his head and waved his hand to ** and said hello: "Hello, hello." ”
"Oh, you're so polite, young master, which girl are you looking for?" ** Beckoning Zhang Jizu and them into the courtyard, she suddenly found Zhao Shengnan behind Zhang Jizu and said: "This son is really good-looking, he looks so smart, like a big girl." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch Zhao Shengnan's face.
But Zhao Shengnan was frightened, but fortunately, Zhang Jizu's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the hand that ** stretched out, and said with a wicked smile: "Don't frighten my little brother, go, call all the girls in your family out, so that our brothers can pick and choose." ”
** was not angry by Zhang Jizu's sarcasm, but laughed more happily, and then she welcomed Zhang Jizu and Zhao Shengnan to the hall to sit down, and said hello again, and after a while, more than a dozen young women with heavy makeup and dusty came out, standing in front of Zhang Jizu and Zhao Shengnan.
"Two sons, except for two of my girls who are picking up customers, the rest are here, you can choose. It's not that I blow it, there are the most girls in my family in Mei Lane, and the girls in my family are the most loved by the masters. ** spitting Xingzi said with his eyebrows fluttering.
"Really? The young master should take a good look at it. Zhang Jizu loosened his tie, stood up and walked to the front of these women, walked over and looked at them one by one twice, and then squinted his eyes and said to **: "Isn't it?" You don't have enough to count, girl? Why, is it because you are afraid that Young Master Ben will not give money? ”
I saw ** flute slightly, and immediately said with a smile on his face: "Childe, you are a noble person who forgets things, didn't I say it just now?" There are two other girls picking up customers, and you won't be able to see them now! ”
"Pick-up? Young Master Ben is here, what kind of guests are you picking up, go, immediately find the two of them for me, the young master has money. Zhang Jizu was full of swagger, and took out a handful of silver dollars from his pocket and stuffed them into his hand.
** It should have been open to the money, but at this time, he said that he would not accept Zhang Jizu's money, and said in his mouth: "Young master, you really appreciate your face, but, but those two girls really can't come to accompany you two!" Why don't you choose another girl? ”
"Huh? It's really weird, young master, if I don't choose whichever to choose, do I still have to listen to you? Do you know who this is? Zhang Jizu pointed to Zhao Shengnan, who was still sitting there, and said: "Tell you, this young master is the little son of the director of the Provincial Police Department, if you offend him today, I think your business will come to an end." So, you'd better be smart and get those two girls here, and we'll order them for today." ”
She first waved her hand at the dozen or so women to let them retreat, and then came to Zhang Jizu and Zhao Shengnan to wipe her sweat and tremble and said: "Two young masters, let's tell you the truth, it's not that I don't let those two girls accompany you two, but, it's that these two thieves are lost, lost." ”
"When did this happen? How did the man lose it? Zhang Jizu asked.
"Hey! Yingchun and Qiuxiang are my top cards here, who could have known that such a strange thing would happen, first of all, Yingchun was originally called by the Overseer Mansion in the provincial capital to accompany the wine six days ago, but this time he never came back, and the Overseer's Mansion also sent someone to Xingshi to ask for guilt, saying that Yingchun did not go to the Overseer's Mansion at all, but ran away halfway, you explained that Yingchun was walking in the car of the Overseer's Mansion, why did my people disappear but came to me to ask for someone. There is also Qiu Xiang, who stayed in the house in a good manner, and disappeared all of a sudden without knowing it, and it was the third day, and no one could be found at all. ** Speaking alone with a sad face, the corners of Zhang Jizu's mouth actually showed a smile.
