121 Yulou Chun
"Yes, with such a high wall, if there is no inside and outside, how can a thief come in!"
The faces of the nuns changed, and even Yiyun was not relaxed, I don't know who kept hinting that there was a thief.
At this time, she subconsciously looked at the nun who spoke, and it turned out to be the nun who first discovered the stuffy fragrance.
How could she have such a strong premonition?
Yiyun pondered and then turned to look at Lang Yue's maidservant, and first saw what she said.
That Lang Yue suddenly grabbed Mrs. Li and ran out of the crowd, and all the nuns didn't know what the situation was, and then Yuuka also ran out.
For a while, only the nuns were left in the nunnery, looking at each other, as if the two maidservants were no longer pursuing their faults.
Everyone was sincerely afraid, and watched Yiyun follow, but they were afraid that Li was too fierce and unlucky.
Yiyun and Mrs. Li looked at each other and smiled, wondering if last night's rain would leave a mark on the carriage.
What if you stay?
The Lord of Yi'an Pavilion is no longer in this world, Yiyun looked at Mrs. Li proudly.
This morning, she originally wanted to come back to her life, who would have thought that Lang Yue and the others had already discovered that the pavilion master was missing, but now it was too late, and the task given to them by Mrs. Guo was finally completed.
Thinking of this, the corners of Yiyun's mouth flashed with a hint of pride.
The mountain road outside the wall was muddy, and the traces of two ruts were obvious, and Mrs. Li and Yiyun's hearts sank, and they looked at Lang Yue, who was a powerful character, with solemn faces.
Lang Yue frowned and met their gaze, and the two of them pretended to be anxious with a weak heart, and shouted: "I'm afraid that the pavilion master will be more auspicious, what should I do, what should I do?" β
Lang Yue glared at Mrs. Li: "If the Lord of Yi'an Pavilion has something, you will be the first to be buried!" β
Her words made Mrs. Li and Yiyun stammer, looking at each other.
At this moment, Lang Yue stepped forward with dexterity, and without waiting for Yiyun to stop her, she had already pinched Mrs. Li's mouth and stuffed a brown pill into it.
"What did you give my master?" Yiyun came to her senses for a while, and was busy patting Mrs. Li's back, trying to vomit the pill, but it was useless to shoot it, so she had to say in a hurry.
Mrs. Li, who didn't care about her identity, vomited desperately.
Seeing this, Lang Yue smiled and said: "Don't worry, you can't die for the time being, this medicine is called a day to break the intestines, are you a little numb in your limbs now?" That's right, after taking this medicine, people will have numb limbs, muscles and bones like fire, countless ants are biting, and gradually thousands of holes, piercing the intestines and breaking the stomach and dying. β
Mrs. Li turned pale with fright: "What about the antidote?" β
Lang Yue glared at her, "If you don't find the pavilion master before dark, Hugh wants an antidote!" Maybe you tell me where the pavilion master is, and I'll consider giving you an antidote. β
Mrs. Li was about to say, but Yiyun hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Li and said to Lang Yue: "Girl, you misunderstood, the thieves have kidnapped the pavilion master, how can you be angry with us?" β
Seeing that they didn't admit it, Yuuka had to persuade Lang Yue, "Time is pressing, let's go to the pavilion master first!" β
Yuuka is desperate to find the girl as soon as possible, the girl's reputation is very important, and the girl must be found before dark.
She didn't have the heart to talk to the nuns of Shuiyue Nunnery now, the more time she talked about, the more urgent the time became, and there was really not much time left for them.
Yuuka made up her mind that if the girl was fine, if something happened, she had to apologize for her death in front of the old lady.
Two maidservants keep watch all night, how can they leave the girl behind?
It makes sense for Lang Yue to think about it, and glanced at Yiyun Xiaoni again, the nun's mouth is also very hard, so she simply-
She took a step forward, pinched Yiyun's cheeks, and threw a pill of a day's broken intestines, before Yiyun Xiaoni could react, the poison had been swallowed into her stomach, and her hands and feet suddenly became numb, and she stared at Lang Yue with wide eyes in horror and couldn't speak.
"You...... You? Yiyun Xiaoni only squeezed out the word "you" for a long time.
watched as Lang Yue and Yuuka ran along the rut mark towards the official road.
Yuuka frowned and said, "Langyue, do you think the girl is still there?" β
Lang Yue squatted down to look at the rut marks, and said lightly: "I believe the girl is still alive." β
It's just that there seems to be a problem on the road, and the two of them followed the car prints all the way to the fork, and there are carriage prints on the official road and on the trail.
The two of them frowned, and Yuuka said with tears: "I hope the girl is okay." Now what? β
"You look at the car prints on this road, the official road is very normal, but the road is deep and shallow, there are two carriages passing by here, you take the official road, the official road is safe, this is for you, if you find something, send a signal, I will rush over immediately."
Lang Yue took a flare to her.
Yuuka took it and said worriedly, "What about you?" β
"I'll walk along the path, rest assured, I have a helper." Lang Yue comforted.
The two went their separate ways.
Yuuka was starving all the way, and when passing by the official road station, she always asked if there was a carriage coming down from here, or if there was a beautiful woman passing by.
The people at the post station shook their heads, every inquiry, every time they shook their heads, little by little extinguished the luck in Yuuka's heart.
Girl, where the hell is it?
On the path, a horse-drawn carriage was heading in the direction of Suigetsu-an.
Lang Yue listened with his ears pricked up, his face suddenly became solemn, and the galloping sound of the carriage came from far and near.
"Phewβ"
The coachman suddenly stopped the carriage, and Lang Yue stood not far in front of the carriage, biting her lip and saying, "Meet the lord!" β
The curtain was not lifted, and a faint voice came from inside the carriage, "What's the matter?" β
Lang Yue struck a spirit, bowed his head and said: "The Yi'an Pavilion Lord is missing, Lang Yue is tracking down the whereabouts of the Pavilion Master, please send the Lord away!" β
"What?" The curtain of the carriage was lifted suddenly, revealing General Zhao's gloomy and blood-devouring face.
A pair of beautiful but cold eyes fell on Lang Yue, who had done something wrong.
Lang Yue shuddered, her head lowered even more, and she said guiltily: "Lord, it's Lang Yue's negligence." The pavilion owner is missing. The slave and maid traced the traces of the carriage all the way, but did not expect to meet the lord on the way. β
"You mean it has something to do with the carriage. Yi'an was taken away by a carriage? General Zhao looked at her with sharp eyes.
Now is not the time to hold accountable, and it is imperative to get Zhu Yue back.
Lang Yue replied without hesitation: "Yes!" β
Then the coachman said, "My lord, when I first came, I did see a carriage passing by, could it be that one?" β
General Zhao's eyes lit up, "Go back the way you came, chase that carriage!" β
The coachman turned the head of the car after hearing this, and General Zhao said, "You call ten plainclothes people to rush to the bottom of the mountain to stand by." β
"Yes." Lang Yue listened and was busy sending flares.
General Zhao lowered the curtain of the carriage again, closed his eyes and pondered, and then ordered: "Tell those people to dress up in disguise and go to the fence to investigate carefully." β
Bordello?
Where to sell your life?
Lang Yue came to her senses, yes, the pavilion owner is so beautiful.
If it's not dead, then it's probably there.
In Kyoto, the streets are bustling, and ten plainclothes people disguise themselves as prostitutes and come to more than a dozen brothels of all sizes in Goolan.
The prostitutes in these brothels are also divided into three, six and nine classes, the first class red card is only for the high-class doctors, the middle one is for the pleasure of the rich merchants who do not have titles, and the last class can come to prostitute as long as they have silver, even nine Confucian and ten beggars.
At noon, a good news finally came: "Lord, there is a new woman in Yulou Spring, and Mother Hong told me that the woman's appearance is overwhelming, and her subordinates think it is very likely, so I will report it first." β
General Zhao exhaled lightly and said lightly: "Go to Yulouchun!" β
Yulouchun is a first-class brothel in Kyoto, and the children of the Han scholars are forbidden to enter, and there are many nobles who come here to talk about it.
I heard that even the emperor's uncle Zhu Shuang had come here in civilian clothes for recreation, and sighed: "This is a fairyland on earth, which makes people forget to return." β
There are three kinds of prostitutes in Yulouchun, the first kind of geisha, who sells their art but does not sell their bodies, and is employed by Yulouchun's mother, which is divided into five or five points, and is also highly respected by those high-ranking celebrities, such as Li Yan, Wang Bi and others;
The second type is the literary prostitute, some of them sell their bodies in the hook column, and some are free bodies, the literary prostitutes try their best to imitate the literati, so that they can compose poems and chant endowments, accompany the wine and accompany the guests, and sometimes they will be invited to participate in the banquet where the ministers gather, and persuade the guests to drink for the master.
Of course, the highest literary prostitutes are of incomparable value, and they are rewarded at will according to the preferences of the ministers, and they are quite loved by famous scholars and doctors, and some will even be accepted as good concubines;
The third is to sell the deed in Yulou Chun, everything obeys the words of the old bustard, omnipotent, only give money, you will serve you well, although it is disdainful for the self-serving Qing Gao Shi Doctor, but it is undeniable that the most popular head card in Yulou Chun is actually this kind of woman.
This is also the kind of man who is most popular.
Those who became-sons set up archways are just to cover up people's eyes and ears for vassal elegance.
The most important thing is that the master behind Yulou Chun is actually Nangong Zhao.
This was originally his means of encircling the dignitaries of the imperial court, and it was also an important intelligence place to find out the information of Zhu Shuang's faction.
The glass lanterns in the spring of the jade building are ambiguously red, and when you walk to the mouth of the alley, you can hear the sound of the piano not far away.
The seductive figures of the maiko on stage are mouth-watering, and the men who stretch their necks off the stage are persuaded by the third class of prostitutes to drink glass by glass.
The men looked at the unattainable women on the stage, but transferred this desire to the prostitutes around them, touching everywhere and flirting.
A beautiful man with a golden crown on his head, a red Shu brocade casual clothes lined him with a graceful demeanor, and he paced into the Yulou Spring with a fan in his hand.
This is a prosperous and gentle township, but he has never been here.
Today, I glanced at the visitors at random, and found that several scholars from big families were doing anything here.
A lot of information from Emperor Uncle Zhu Shuang came from here, but General Zhao had never stepped on Yulouchun.
When I came for the first time today, many women didn't know him, thought he was a new customer, and were busy selling themselves.
At this moment, several warblers and butterflies dressed in red and green swarmed over, trying to catch the beautiful man in the middle, not wanting to be blocked by the men on both sides.
"Lord, according to our investigation, my mother here had a deal with someone and bought a woman. Mama Red locked the man in the backyard. The spy, who was also dressed in civilian clothes, whispered to him.
The corners of General Zhao's mouth turned into a smile and he nodded slightly.
At this time, he saw Yulouchun's red mother walking towards him with a smile, glanced at the jade plate tied around the waist of the beautiful man, and his face froze.
When the red mother sees the card, she sees the master, because this brand is the symbol of the master, and suddenly the owner comes, and she is so kingly, because it is a little inconvenient in public.
Mother Red pretended to solicit customers, shook the handkerchief, swayed closer, and flattered: "Yo, this distinguished guest is here, and he has missed the welcome, let Mother Hong's daughter make amends." β
Mama Red leaned too close and tried to grab General Zhao's arm.
The spy looked at General Zhao's eyes, and he was not stunned, so he was taken by Yu Louchun's mother to a private room on the top.
The red woven gold carpet on the corridor is spread all the way, and the red tassels hanging on the side of the eaves of the corridor are full of red tassels hanging on the edge of the veranda, which is more than beautiful and too luxurious.
Yaju is called "Xianfeng Pavilion".
The room is paved with a whole red and yellow Dawan carpet, with gauze lamps on both sides, a few in the middle, a few chessboards have been arranged, and there are scarlet beads on both sides of the sleeping couch, which is a lingering and charming pavilion.
Mother Hong invited General Zhao to sit on the head, personally served the golden rice in the tray of the rough girl, and stepped forward with a flattering smile: "My lord, please drink this glass of wine." β
General Zhao ignored her and gave a look to the plainclothes spies on the side.
The spy understood, stared at Mother Hong, and said, "You answer whatever I ask, don't ask anything else, don't say anything." β
Mother Red wiped the sweat from her forehead with her handkerchief, not knowing what she had done wrong.
Seeing that the lord's eyes were sharp and shining with cold light, he couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly said: "If the lord has anything to say, the slave must report it truthfully if he knows." β
The spy said: "Mother Hong, don't be afraid, the lord is just asking you about one person." β
"Inquiring about someone? This is easy to do, there is no slave and maid in Kyoto who does not know, who is the person the lord wants to inquire? Mama Red asked with a smile.
The spy said, "Mother Hong, I heard that you bought a woman today?" β
"yes...... Don't mention how beautiful that girl is, her appearance is captivating to the city and the country, and the slave believes that she will be trained with her heart, and over time, she will definitely be able to become the top brand of Yulou Chun. Mother Red was overjoyed, and she gave her thumbs up as she spoke.
Nangong Zhao's eyes lit up, and Mother Hong noticed this moment and subconsciously stopped.
"What's that woman's name?" After a while, General Zhao drank a glass of wine and asked.
Mama Hong stepped forward and poured wine, and said with a smile: "Lord, this subordinate is not clear, entering this line, there is a rule not to ask the real name, but, the woman was abducted I know in my heart, when I came, I heard the man say that she was still a yellow flower girl and was not willing to move, just wanted to sell it for a big price, said to 10,000 taels, the slave maid at first listened to the lion opened his mouth and didn't care, until he glanced at it and felt that the woman was really a first-class beauty, if the lord had spare time, it was better to comb and comb her." β
"!" General Zhao's originally soothing gaze suddenly became cold again, so bluffing that Mother Hong's wine jug almost fell over and spilled the wine.
The spy persuaded: "Lord, Mother Hong has misunderstood the meaning of the Lord without knowing it, please calm the anger, it is better to ask Mother Hong to call the woman over now, and first see if it is the person you are looking for before deciding." β
General Zhao nodded, and Mother Hong wanted to retire and call someone, but General Zhao suddenly asked again, "Where is the lock?" (To be continued.) )
