Chapter 5: Spring Breeze Pavilion robs people
When Lian Xuanjin returned home, he was thinking about the silver he had earned, and was sitting in the flower hall to enjoy the flowers, when he saw Lian Xuanfu passing by, who was full of worries, he asked with a smile, "Second brother, what makes you so worried?" ”
Lian Xuanfu only thought about his own affairs, obviously didn't notice that he was too obvious, and said, "You can see this?" ”
Lian Xuanjin said to him, "You just wrote it on your face, and it makes me happy!" ”
Lian Xuanfu shook his head helplessly, "Don't look at the excitement, I really don't have time to make fun of you"
Lian Xuanjin likes to watch the excitement, and he doesn't hesitate to say, "Let's listen to it, anyway, looking at your expression, you must be embarrassed, let's talk about it, what is Daddy mysteriously looking for you, ah?" ”
Lian Guanfu said to her seriously, "What are you doing? Give me a good future, and give me an official."
Lian Xuanjin looked at the lively appearance and analyzed, "There is a saying that there is no merit, and you are so upset about such a good thing as being promoted, then the matter must be difficult to do" patted his arm, and Lian Xuanjin deliberately joked at him again, "Such a good reward for adding officials, let's talk about it, how difficult is it?" ”
Lian Xuanfu told her, "It's not about Li Xian and Wu Saicai, I guess you've heard about it, this is what you do to offend people."
Lian Xuanjin also heard about it, looked at Lian Xuanfu and asked, "What?" Afraid of offending people? ”
Lian Guanfu analyzed, "Wu Sai is the younger brother of Concubine Wu of the Three Princes' Mansion, and now all the clues point to him, rashly checking or finding out that it is really him, it will definitely make the Three Princes' Mansion lose face." ”
Lian Xuanjin disappretook and said, "It's just a concubine, I heard that she is not favored, just do business."
"Although she is not favored, she is indeed the younger sister of the bachelor of the Sipin Cabinet, and besides, do you know who Wu Saicai is marrying? Taichang Siqing Zhao's daughter, Zhao Jian, now this Zhao Jian is pregnant with Liujia, if Wu Saicai has an accident, then Zhao is afraid that he will also feel uncomfortable"
Lian Xuanjin suddenly came over to his senses, "I see, second brother, Lord Zhao is your top boss, and he is indeed more embarrassed, so find some evidence that is useful to Wu Saicai, and sell your face to the third prince."
Lian Guanfu said, "You think it's so easy to handle the case, what the emperor wants is fairness and justice, and if I am sloppy in this matter, how can I be worthy of my conscience"
Lian Xuanjin smiled and said lightly, "Second brother, this matter is actually not difficult to say, I suggest that you find out the truth first, if Wu Saicai is guilty here, you will ask the third prince to be the master to punish him, the third prince will definitely end up with a good reputation of rewards and punishments, after all, it is only a matter of five thousand taels of silver, you plead for mercy in the palace, it is estimated that Lord Zhao will not resent you, if Li Xian's crime, everyone is dead, you find a reason to go to the emperor Bingming, this servant Siqing can still read you, the emperor just wants the truth, It's not a big deal to be greedy for 5,000 taels of silver, so I'm afraid that someone is hiding some evil intentions, otherwise the emperor can still take this matter to heart? ”
Lian Guanfu looked at her and didn't think it was a big deal, "It's simple, but this matter, the parties are dead, how else can they be investigated?" ”
"Such a big thing, there must be a cause to have an effect" Lian Xuanjin leaned closer and threw a wink and said, "Second brother, if you don't worry, leave it to me, I will help you find out the truth, how about you come to ask for credit?" ”
Lian Xuanfu looked at her incredulously, thinking that a person like her, who was unprofitable and couldn't afford to be early, could come out to help, and said, "You? ”
Lian Xuanjin nodded, "Well, what, don't believe me?" ”
"It's not that I don't believe in your ability, I just don't believe that you are so kind and help me in vain"
Lian Xuanjin smiled, "Are you still my second brother, but that's right, even if you know me, I know that there will be a lot of helplessness when I come back this time, you promise me, I will ask you for help in the future, you can come back." ”
Lian Xuanfu saw that she didn't have anything special, and was relieved and said, "It's okay for you to investigate, but you have to avoid interrogation, and I will arrange for you how many people are used to track down clues." ”
Lian Xuanjin said with disdain: "Who are you arranging for me, the guard?" How much does it take to get to the last Mo Song, you still have to keep it yourself, but it's the same, you don't care what I wear when I investigate the case......, right?"
In the study of the third prince, Concubine Wu cried and knelt on the ground to plead, "Lord, you save Saicai, he really didn't do anything, it was Li Xian who befriended him, saying that the Yanyan girl of Chunfeng Pavilion had been wanting to redeem her for a long time, and he was afraid that Lord Li would know so he put the money there, but he didn't expect it to be the silver of the Taifu Temple to raise war horses, and now that Li Xian is dead, he can't tell even if he has a mouth."
Xiao Ji glanced at her, and there was no tenderness on his face, "You get up, this king knows."
Concubine Wu didn't know Xiao Ji's thoughts, and she couldn't understand him, and she was afraid that he wouldn't take it to heart, so she begged, "Lord Wang, ......"
Xiao Ji replied lightly with a cold face as always, "This king asked you to get up, this matter is related to your brother's position, and this king will naturally investigate clearly."
Concubine Wu was reassured and said, "Concubine, thank you, Lord Wang."
Xiao Ji shouted "Zhao Kong" to the door, and the tall and mighty Zhao Kong came up with a sword guard and "subordinates are here".
Xiao Ji ordered him again, "You go and investigate this matter", and Zhao Kong responded, "Yes!" "Walked out.
At night, Lian Xuanjin was getting ready to go to bed, when he heard the sound of soft footsteps in the room, he sat up, and Mo Song, who had just put on his clothes, had already come in through the window, dressed in black, and looked at her quietly in the dark with his eyes......
Lian Xuanjin glanced at him and said, "You can't go through the main gate, you don't look like a thief."
Mo Song raised the corners of his mouth, his cold face showed a little warmth, and without saying a word, Lian Xuanjin continued to ask, "Did you find out so quickly?" ”
Mo Song said, "Well, this is obviously a bureau, Li Xian is an honest and polite person by nature, and he is also capable of assisting Master Li in handling the affairs of Taifu Temple, suddenly, a few months ago, he suddenly began to linger in the land of fireworks, and then he died for no reason, saying that he committed suicide in fear of sin, but it is really strange." Wu Saicai also met him in Chunfeng Pavilion, the two chatted very much, so they became friends, this is nothing, I heard that this Wu Saicai and he fell in love with Xie Yanyan girl of Chunfeng Pavilion, the two not only did not compete, but humbled each other, since Li Xian died, this Wu Saicai is probably afraid of involving himself, and even pretended to have amnesia, saying that he didn't know Xie Yanyan, but just helped Li Xian manage the ransom on behalf of him, and now what is going on, he is talking alone, but he forgot that there is a witness Xie Yanyan"
Lian Xuanjin asked, "Have you gone to the Spring Breeze Pavilion?" ”
Mo Song shook his head, "No."
Lian Xuanjin asked him suspiciously, "There are so many beautiful girls in Chunfeng Pavilion, why don't you go and be happy?" ”
Mo Song was a little displeased and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Lian Xuanjin deliberately said, "How can this be nonsense, maybe you have already gone behind my back, right?" ”
Outside the house, Buman heard someone knocking on the door and coming in, "Miss......, are you calling me?" How are you in the Miss boudoir? ”
Lian Xuanjin saw her come in recklessly, and ordered her with a look of being about to drop his jaw, "What's the fuss, go down!" ”
Buman must have misunderstood something, and quickly withdrew, Mo Song looked at Buman's back and reminded Lian Xuanjin, "It seems that if there is something in the future, it is better to go outside and talk about it"
Lian Xuanjin's mind was not on this, but remembered Xie Yanyan and said, "Got it, let's go to Chunfeng Pavilion tomorrow"
Mo Song nodded, answered "yes", and walked out with a sword, and the Buman at the door saw that he was familiar with the road, so he naturally looked confused......
In the Three Princes' Mansion, Zhao Kong stood, waiting for Xiao Ji's orders, Xiao Ji took two steps and stopped and said firmly, "This king thinks that this matter is not so simple, since Li Xian is dead, the only clue now is Chunfeng Pavilion." ”
Zhao Kong replied, "Lord Wang, tomorrow night is the day of the annual selection of the Oiran in the Spring Breeze Pavilion, I inquired, this Xie Yanyan is also among the candidates, you see ......"
Xiao Ji's look looked far away, thought for a while, and said, "Then we'll go and meet her."
In front of the Chunfeng Pavilion the next day, pedestrians on the street were in a hurry, Yang Xiao was walking with Su Mu Younan's carriage, and saw a magnificent carriage parked at the gate of the Chunfeng Courtyard, Lian Xuanjin was wearing a silver brocade robe, and the silver crown and hair came down from the carriage, Yang Xiao was curious about how she could be in such a place, and casually said to the carriage, "Childe, I seem to have seen that girl"
"What girl?" Su Muyou asked while lifting the curtain, and then saw the person walking towards the Spring Breeze Pavilion, raised her head and frowned, "How could she come to such a place?" ”
Yang Xiao replied, "I heard that the Spring Breeze Pavilion chose the Oiran today, so I guess I must be joining in the fun" said and secretly laughed, "But there are so many people today, if someone knows the identity of her daughter, I don't know, I can't get out."
Su Muyou listened to his words, but the ghost made the gods almost without any pause, and blurted out a sentence "Let's go and see it too", as soon as the words came out, Yang Xiao was also shocked, thinking that Su Muyou never meddled in things, let alone stop for any woman, but now it is a little different, so he was confused for a while.
Su Muyou saw him standing on the ground like a wooden fish pimple, and asked, "What are you doing in a daze?" Yang Xiao came back to his senses after listening to the voice, and hurriedly replied, "Yes, Childe!" ”
The spring breeze pavilion laughing warbler swallow, fragrant, whether it is a man full of meat, or a dashing and handsome son a few glasses of spring wine are all rude, a mother on the stage walked to the stage with a smile on her face and said, "Thank you for your face to come to my Spring Breeze Pavilion, today is the day of the Spring Breeze Pavilion to choose the Oiran, the alternative girls are ready, and they will compete on the same stage soon. Someone will send the votes to you later, the talent is over, which girl has the highest vote is today's Oiran", said three hardcover women on the stage in the middle of the ready to dance, left and right one person played the piano and one pipa, the competition began to be lively on the stage, and the audience was even more lively, applause, shouts continued......
On the elegant seat on the second floor, Su Muyou found Lian Xuanjin on the other side at a glance who didn't seem to be watching the performance very seriously, but Lian Xuanjin didn't see him, but glanced away with his eyes and muttered, "It's really a narrow road!" ”
Mo Song raised his head and looked in the direction she signaled, the third prince Xiao Ji was sitting in a conspicuous seat, not in a special position, the second floor was originally a private room, and it was naturally either rich or expensive to go up, but within a few feet of Xiao Ji's side, except for looking at the majestic guard Zhao Kong, there was no one else, which made him particularly arrogant.
Mo Song said, "That's the third prince, it seems that he is also here for this Xie Yanyan."
The corners of Lian Xuanjin's mouth raised, and he said secretly, "It doesn't matter who he is for, this woman, Miss Ben is going to decide"
Mo Song reminded in a low voice, "Don't forget, he's the prince"
Lian Xuanjin said contemptuously, "Do you think I will be afraid," he said, and glanced at Mo Song, "Are you still afraid?" ”
Mo Song sneered, did not answer, looked at the stage, as soon as the performance in the stands ended, someone began to collect votes, and everyone was looking forward to it, waiting for the old bustard of the Chunfeng Pavilion to happily announce "Today's Oiran...... It's our Yanyan girl" As soon as the words fell, everyone cheered, one of them shouted "I am out of twenty taels", "fifty taels", "seventy taels" and "one hundred taels", and my mother smiled proudly, "This son is one hundred taels, it seems that our Yanyan girl is really lovely", and then there was a scramble for "I, one hundred and fifty taels" and "two hundred taels......
When everyone was competing for bids, Zhao Kong stood up and shouted, "One thousand taels!" The audience was in an uproar followed by silence, and they all looked at the man sitting upstairs standing still, with no anger on his face, but it made people look frightened......
Someone asked, "Who is this?" "I don't know, I haven't seen it" "Look at him very powerful, could it be a general"
"Shout out a thousand taels in one breath, which general can have such a big hand"
When everyone was talking endlessly, Lian Xuanjin rolled his eyes, stood up with bad intentions, and deliberately said loudly, "It seems that the third prince has been lonely for a long time, and as soon as he came back, he came to this Spring Breeze Pavilion to be happy, and I want to say, Mom, the third prince has worked so hard to expand the territory, and the girl Yanyan must be washed and sent to the Three Princes' Mansion" As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked for a moment, and everyone downstairs knelt down and bowed, "See the three princes!" ”
Xiao Ji looked in her direction, remembering the disrespectful person she saw that day she came back, although she was a little angry in her heart, her eyes were still calm, and her black pupils made people look straight at Lian Xuanjin, who was smug with a provocative smile......
Zhao Kong lost his color, and whispered to Xiao Ji, "Where did this kid come from, he actually knows the identity of the prince, and it is clearly that people in the public are mistaken for you as a womanizer."
Xiao Ji replied coldly, "Leave her alone, we're here to get down to business."
Zhao Kong nodded obediently, and shouted at her, "What a bold man, since you know that it is the third prince, you don't kneel yet!" ”
Lian Xuanjin still stood upright, and said with a contemptuous smile, "I and the third prince are here to have fun, since we are here, they are all obscene people, what kind of dignity and humility, mother, since you have no intention of filial piety to the prince, then Yanyan girl, this son can ask for it"
The old woman with the spring breeze on her face looked a little embarrassed, and reminded: "This son, the third prince has a thousand taels of silver!" ”
Lian Xuanjin asked, "Really?" How about five hundred taels for me? After speaking, someone on the field whispered, "Is this not an ignorant count?" "Yes, how could Miss Yanyan go with such a shallow person, I don't know"
Lian Xuanjin took two steps closer and said to the girl on the stage, "Miss Yanyan, five hundred taels of gold, are you willing to go with my son?" Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief and said, "Five hundred taels of gold? "That's a few thousand taels of silver, whose son is this, for a fireworks woman like this"
Lian Xuanjin looked like a swinger again, and said in a flirtatious tone, "Miss Yanyan, I can hurt people better than the third prince."
Zhao Kong heard and shouted at her, "What a boldness, you dare to entertain the prince", and said that he flew over and pointed his sword at her, Xiao Ji looked at her directly, but his face did not change, and when the sword came to her, she was not red and her heart was not beating......
Not far away, Su Muyou stood up when she saw this, and before there was any more movement, she saw that the sword was about to fall between her eyebrows, and when everyone thought it was urgent, they saw Mo Song's hand raised, and the sword in his hand was not yet unsheathed, just turning around, Zhao Kong forced a few steps back, Zhao Kong is also a master, but he has never been so obvious in defeat, thinking about it, he knows that he has such a powerful skill, Yang Xiao glanced at his son-in-law, Su Muyou's demeanor was no longer as nervous as just now, and sat down calmly......
Lian Xuanjin was naturally proud in his heart, and made up his mind with another idea, smiled with a dissolute look on his face, and said, "Since the third prince likes this woman, son, I'll just let it be given to you, why bother to make a move without saying a word, scare the beauty of the Spring Breeze Pavilion, even if the beauty prince takes it, don't disturb the beautiful scenery of the prince's good day, let's go."
Zhao Kong only pointed at her with a sword and threatened, "In broad daylight, you dare to be openly disrespectful to the prince, and you still want to leave?" ”
Lian Xuanjin put down the steps he had just lifted and turned around to remind him, "Hey, I see that you are alone, there are no soldiers and horses, you also have to think about whether you can beat him or not, otherwise it is not only you, I am afraid that the third prince of your family will also be ridiculed", saying that, Mo Song looked at him angrily, and then turned around and walked away, Zhao Konggang was about to chase after Xiao Ji and instructed, "Don't chase, do the right thing!" ”
Zhao Kong nodded, and said to the following, "The third prince investigated the case, I didn't want to be alarmed, since you know, hurry up, Xie Yanyan is related to the case of the loss of silver in the Taifu Temple, and the third prince wants to ask for a confession in person", everyone naturally didn't dare to distinguish anymore after hearing this, and hurried out in a hurry......
The mother of the housekeeper of the Chunfeng Pavilion led the way to the corridor on the second floor of the Chunfeng Pavilion in front, and said respectfully, "The third prince, the girl Yan Yan has been waiting, the third prince is here, please", walked to the door, the mother pushed the door and shouted, "Yan Yan, come and see the third prince", no one answered in the house, several people walked in, Xiao Ji opened the inner curtain, looked at the empty room, turned his head to look at the housekeeper's mother, the old woman with heavy makeup looked at him with eyes like a knife, stared at himself and said in horror, "The third prince spares his life, he was still there just now, really, how dare the villain deceive the prince"
Xiao Ji's eyes sank, and he said fiercely, "Turn the tiger away from the mountain!" ”
Zhao Kong immediately understood, so he turned around to search......
In front of the wall courtyard of Chunfeng Pavilion, Lian Xuanjin said softly, "Mo Song, you take people out first, it is estimated that they will chase after them in a while", but Mo Song insisted, "No, you yourself are too dangerous"
Lian Xuanjin said, "Don't worry, this is the imperial capital, even if he is the prince, he doesn't dare to kill people casually, you go quickly", seeing that she insisted, Mo Song argued but only walked forward with someone in his arms, and the two people who were bumping into him in a few steps.
Xiao Ji said coldly: "Don't hand over the people yet!" ”
Lian Xuanjin took a few steps forward to block him, and said with a reasonable look, "Third Prince, you come to investigate the case, and I will also investigate the case, why does this person want to give it to you."
Xiao Ji was not surprised when she heard this, and asked her, "Are you investigating the case?" Who is your surname, and whose order is it to investigate the case? ”
Lian Xuanjin naturally wouldn't say that he was such a stupid person from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and asked instead, "What about the third prince?" Isn't it also to protect his concubine, since there is no imperial order, then I can't obey my fate" said with a look and let Mo Song go first.
As soon as Mo Song raised his leg, Zhao Kong came up with his sword, Mo Song put people down and drew his sword to greet him, Zhao Kong couldn't be defeated after a few moves, Xiao Ji pulled out his sword and made a few moves, his brows were slightly furrowed, the two couldn't argue, and only heard the sound of the sword slamming......
The people of Chunfeng Pavilion hid in the house and didn't dare to come out, Mo Song got up and crossed the eyes of the two of them with a sword, and took advantage of the fact that the two of them were unprepared to fly over the wall with the people on the ground and disappeared, Lian Xuanjin turned his head and glanced at it, and also followed to the wall complacently, seeing that Mo Song had gone, the wall was a little high, she hadn't thought of how to go up, and saw that Zhao Kong, who jumped out from behind in front of her, had chased out, "Lord Wang, I'll chase after you......
The sound of chasing and fighting outside the wall is getting farther and farther away, and the person who left Lian Xuan in the wall is particularly weak, she was just about to turn around and flee, the eight-foot body came to the front of her, she raised her hand smartly, and she had not yet moved, Xiao Ji grabbed her wrist, and the white powder that had been secretly prepared in her hand fell down......
Xiao Ji looked at her with a cold cold light, the trick of the ecstasy was not used, Lian Xuanjin turned his head to look at the past with some embarrassment, only to know what was going on, his eyes were deep, Lian Xuanjin naturally did not have any fear, and his eyes were opposite, Xiao Ji also saw clearly that this woman had beautiful eyebrows, double beads, white ears and neck, and traces left by earrings, and secretly sneered at her......
Lian Xuanjin's face did not change, and said, "The winner is king, since you have caught me, you can kill me if you want, don't laugh like this." ”
Not far away, Su Muyou was just about to leave, Yang Xiao reminded him, "Son, my subordinates don't think the third prince will do anything here", Su Muyou also thought about it and felt reasonable, and immediately stopped and looked at the two.
Xiao Ji stared into her eyes and whispered, "Death is coming, and there is so much nonsense!" ”
Lian Xuanjin also said, "Third Prince, you have a lot of nonsense, don't you? ”
Xiao Ji shouted angrily, "Say, who are you, how do you know this king, and who are you investigating the case for?" ”
Lian Xuanjin smiled, "What about the third prince, oh, I don't need to ask and know how to investigate the case for my concubine, of course, I am too, for the sake of my family"
Xiao Ji watched her pressing step by step, and scolded, "Who are you", Lian Xuanjin really doubted his IQ, and this kind of direct words were also asked, who would say, secretly laughed and said, "Third prince, guess?" ”
Xiao Ji stepped forward speechlessly and grabbed her wrist tightly, took a step closer, pressed her against the wall, bowed his head and wanted to intimidate her, but with the breeze smelling the faint grass fragrance on her body, Xiao Ji only felt that she was a little different from other rouge-covered women, but he had never been interested in women, so he naturally didn't think much about it, and threatened her in a low and deep voice, "Don't say it if you don't want to die"
Lian Xuanjin was forced under him, seeing that he was very arrogant, he naturally refused to admit defeat, and also learned his tone, deliberately approached his ear and said, "Third Prince, you are arrogant", and laughed.
Xiao Ji didn't have time to react, he only felt a pain in his back, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Mo Song's sword with the sheath pulled away from his back, and when he got up and turned around, he saw that Lian Xuanjin had been pulled by Mo Song, and the two took a few steps forward, and they didn't forget to turn back and smile at him, and then jumped off the wall and disappeared without a trace......
Zhao Kong slowed down for half a beat before coming back with Xie Yanyan in his arms and asked, "Lord Wang, are you okay?" ”
Xiao Ji touched his neck, frowned, and said, "It's okay."
Zhao Kong said to himself, "Who are these two people, why is the one in black so powerful, I have been in the imperial capital for so many years, and I have seen many masters, but I can't pass him twenty moves, if he hadn't come back to save the man in white, I'm afraid someone would have let him snatch it away."
Xiao Ji looked at the person he was holding in his arms, and said, "That guard's skills are indeed good, even if it is this king, it may not be his opponent."
Zhao Kong asked again, "Lord Wang, then, do you want to find out who these two people are?" ”
Xiao Ji shook his head, "It's important to get down to business, but an arrogant girl and loyal guards, it seems that they are also here to investigate the case, since the people are not lost, this king is too lazy to meet them"
Zhao Kong was a little surprised: "Girl? ”
Xiao Ji snorted coldly: "When will there be such a person in the imperial capital?" The king didn't even know."
Zhao Kong echoed as he walked, "My subordinates haven't seen it either, looking at their purpose today, it should be someone from the Li family."
Xiao Ji said as he walked, "Let her be, since the person is in our hands, we will bring it back to the palace for trial first." ”
At the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lian Xuanjin was angry and blamed Mo Songdao, "You have taken everyone away, what are you doing when you come back?" ”
Although Mo Song did not show eagerness, he also replied honestly, "I'm worried that you will be injured!" ”
Lian Xuanjin complained "How can I get hurt, if it's a big deal, I'll report my identity, it's all you"
Mo Song saw that she was really angry and comforted, "Okay, don't be angry, let's find a way."
Lian Xuanjin said, "When people arrive at the palace, it will be difficult to snatch it back" and waved his hand, "Forget it, tomorrow is Master Su's birthday, I will finish the errand assigned by my father." ”
Mo Song followed up and asked, "Don't be angry, I'll find a way to get you back", Lian Xuanjin knew that he had always said that he had done it, and he was very capable, and he was worried that he would be reckless and said, "Okay, don't be angry, it's up to you anyway"
Mo Song saw that she loosened her muscles and bones, stretched her waist and walked forward, and then relaxed lightly......
