Chapter 41 Go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion again
The dignified second-grade member was actually assassinated in Xijing City, which is a big deal! The Dafu court was very angry, and various departments such as Lan Yiwei, Jing Zhaoyin, and Dali Temple immediately took action, frantically looking for clues.
For a time, the entire Xijing City was full of rumors, and the grass and trees were all soldiers. They almost turned Xijing City upside down, but these black-clothed people disappeared as if they were in the sky, and no matter how they checked, they couldn't find a result. However, such a comprehensive inventory is also beneficial, and many felons who have not been caught for many years have actually fallen this time. For a time, the security of Xijing and the surrounding areas was greatly improved.
"Gaode, how is the secret guard doing?" In the Ronghua Palace, Emperor Fu asked Gao De, the father-in-law who had just walked into the hall, while dealing with the twists and turns.
Father-in-law Gao seemed to have just come back from outside, his face was red, and his breath had not yet been adjusted. But he did not slack off, and hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty, we finally caught a seriously injured guy, and it took a lot of energy, and he finally confessed that they came from an organization called the Tsing Yi Sect, which is said to have collected some outlaws with high martial arts skills in the rivers and lakes. ”
"Who is their leader? Where is the lair? Then this guy didn't confess. Fu Huang became interested and looked up and asked.
"Your Majesty, this guy is too seriously injured, and we didn't rescue him." Gao Gonggong replied in a low voice. When Emperor Fu heard this, his face darkened, he snorted, and continued to deal with the twists and turns on the case. Seeing that Emperor Fu was unhappy, Gonggong Gao hurriedly bowed his head and stood aside, daring to speak casually.
In addition to the court, there are also many various forces that are trying to find the whereabouts of this group of black-clothed masked people, but whether their purpose is to help the court solve problems, it is difficult to say.
"Your Highness, the kind of jasmine-flavored fragrant powder you mentioned, I asked the girls under me, and they said it should be jade-faced jasmine powder. We checked, there are four fat powder shops in Xijing City that sell this kind of incense powder, and our girls are the regular customers of these fat powder shops, so they are very cooperative, and listed more than 400 women who like to use jade flour jasmine powder, but after we discharged them one by one, only more than 100 people are suspicious. In the secret room of the Thirteen Princes' Mansion, Yan Feifei reported to Yang Yun.
"The white handkerchief that the assassin dropped to cover the wound, we went to investigate, it was made of Shu embroidery from Mianzhou, this kind of Shu embroidery is relatively expensive, and ordinary people are reluctant to use it." This time it was Zhong Wenrui who spoke.
Then, Yao Xia also stood up and said: "The search dog we cultivated according to His Highness's method, there is no clue when we find Yunfeng Street, but it is estimated that this assassin is not far from here." ”
"Haha, looking at it this way, the scope of this masked woman can be narrowed down a lot, we will investigate one by one, and we should find something." Ju Yuanguang slapped his hand on the table and said happily.
"Hehe, look at your luck! There are so many people who buy fat powder, and it is impossible for these stores to count all the people, and this matter only depends on luck. Yang Yun was not so optimistic.
"Your Highness, why didn't you let Yanqin Liuyue take this female assassin down at that time, wouldn't you have saved a lot of trouble." Yao Xia asked in confusion.
"Of course it can't be like this, this female assassin is so powerful, Yanqin Liuyue may not be able to catch her, even if she is caught, it may cause her accomplices to retaliate, this group of people even dares to assassinate my Dahao's second-grade master, and they can only win over but not make enemies." Ju Yuanguang said with a smile.
"Master Zhong, why did you come with your friends today, or do you still sit in the old position?" The old bustard of Xiaoxiang Pavilion was surprised when he saw Zhong Wenrui, this guy hasn't been here for a long time, but he came today, and he is very energetic, and he is no longer the depressed appearance of the past. And, he has always been alone, and this time he also brought a few friends.
Those who came to Xiaoxiang Pavilion this time were Yang Yun, Ju Yuanguang, Yao Xia and Zhong Wenrui, and of course there were many guards at the door. Of course, only these leaders of the Yang Yun Group are qualified to visit the Qinglou with public funds.
"Arrange a place close to the front desk for us, and accompany my young master today, you must not be lazy." Zhong Wenrui explained to the old bustard.
"Of course, please come with me!" Hearing that Yang Yun was the leader of this group, the old bustard immediately greeted him warmly and led the way in front diligently.
It's a coincidence that the position that the old bustard arranged for Yang Yun and the others is still the table they sat at last time.
"Old bustard, I heard that you have a piano fairy here, hurry up and call her over and accompany my young master to drink!" Yao Xia pretended to be rude and shouted loudly, making a few people next to him almost laugh.
"I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, Miss Liu Piaopiao never comes to drink with guests, but if a few of you win the game later, you can go to the backyard and play a song for everyone alone." The old bustard replied politely.
Like last time, the girls and girls of Xiaoxiang Pavilion performed various programs, and at the end of the performance, Liu Piaopiao performed as the finale.
Liu Piaopiao wore a white dress today, with a pale green headband tied on her head, like a fairy Chang'e coming down from the Moon Palace. Her beautiful and refined appearance doesn't look like a dusty woman in a green building.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the first day of the new year, following the rules of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, on the first and fifteenth days of each month, Piao Piao will choose a table of survivors from the guest officers, and order a song in the backyard, and I will play it alone by Piao Piao, today is no exception, please listen to the requirements of today's first level objectively." Liu Piaopiao came to the stage, saluted everyone in the audience, and then said.
After a pause, she said: "Today's first level, called a quest for knowledge, the little woman plays three tunes, please listen to it, and then guess the name of the song, the table where all three tunes are guessed correctly, even if you pass the first level." ”
Liu Piaopiao's words obviously aroused the interest of the guests, and many people shouted happily, urging Liu Piaopiao to start playing. Liu Piaopiao was not pretentious, smiled slightly, turned around and sat on the brocade stool, and began to play.
The introductory part of the song she plays is intimate and beautiful, and the rhythm is smooth and soothing, with ups and downs. After a while, the tune changed and became cold and solemn, outlining a picture of frosty morning and snowy night, withering plants and trees, and plum blossoms blooming. Immediately afterwards, the sound of the piano changed again, making people feel that a plum blossom kept swinging in the wind, but it was not succumbed to the wind and snow, and still stood proudly.
After playing the song, everyone was immersed in the music and reminisced for a long time, and after a while, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
The servant brought a pen and paper and asked each table to write the name of the song, Yang Yun, Yao Xia and Zhong Wenrui, you look at me, I look at you, all with helpless looks. Seeing this, Ju Yuanguang smiled and wrote four beautiful words of "Plum Blossom Three Alleys" on it.
Looking at Ju Yuanguang's stunned expression, the three of them knew that this guy must have guessed correctly. Sure enough, Liu Piaopiao announced on the stage: "The first song, the title of the song is "Plum Blossom Three Alleys". The third, fifth, eighth, ninth, twelfth, sixteenth, and twenty-first tables guessed correctly, congratulations to the guest officer who guessed correctly. Table No. 8 was the table where several people were sitting, and Ju Yuanguang clenched his fists proudly, but was collectively despised by Yang Yun and the others.
The second song immediately followed, titled "Yangguan Three Stacks", was guessed correctly by Ju Yuanguang, and at this time there were still five tables left to guess correctly. The next third song is called "Flat Sand and Falling Geese", which was still guessed correctly by Ju Yuanguang, and at this time there were only three tables left.
Liu Piaopiao stood up and saluted everyone: "The guest officers of table eight, table twelve, and table twenty-one are really the little girl's bosom friends, and they all guessed correctly, and now these three tables of guest officers are invited to enter the third level." ”
