The lotus pond is a small building, in the water pavilion.

Facing He Zhifu's interrogation, the old bustard knew that he had overreacted, but he didn't want to make things more complicated, so he replied pretendedly: "No...... It's okay! I didn't expect this case to alarm Lord Chincha, and now my heart is flustered! ”

"Qin Cha also doesn't have three heads and six arms, isn't it clear what virtue Dong Wei did last year?" He Dongxu thought that she was really out of proportion because of this, but there was a burst of disdain in his heart, and he gave an example.

This is actually a bit against his will, Dong Wei is a member of the strict party who has lost power, and when he arrived in Yangzhou, he was afraid that others would arrest his pigtails. On the other hand, Lin Haoran himself is a strong dragon, and his father-in-law, who is the secretary of the ministry, is supported by his father-in-law, and he can do whatever he wants in Yangzhou.

"He Zhifu has learned a lesson!" The old bustard nodded again and again even if he followed He Zhifu's words.

He Dongxu put down the teacup in his hand, and directly explained his intentions: "No matter what the truth is, do you have anything to hide!" Since you said that you saw Zhang Wuhen fleeing that day and saw Chen Xiaoxiao die tragically in the room, you have to bite this matter to death! As long as you insist on it, even if it is a personal trial, this official can ensure that you are safe and sound! ”

Things have developed to this point, and the truth of the case has become unimportant at all, and what he wants now is that Zhang Wuhen is the real murderer. As long as this case is confirmed, then Lin Haoran will be frustrated by this case.

Now, he naturally came here not to explore the truth, but to put some pressure on the old bustard, and reassure her, so that this case will become an iron case.

The old bustard was a smart man, and even replied with a smile: "Lord He, this person was killed by Zhang Wuwu, how could I go back on my word?" I think that when Lord Qincha looks at the ironclad evidence, he will not reverse right and wrong! ”

"Reversing right and wrong? He doesn't have the ability yet! He Dongxu replied confidently with the support of the teacher in the court.

"Lord He, I already know the matter, you can put a hundred hearts!" The old bustard accompanied him with a smiling face, and then greeted him enthusiastically: "It's rare that you come to Mingchun Building tonight, I will prepare wine and food for you, but I don't know which girl you want to accompany you?" ”

Several bosses behind the scenes of Mingchun Building have long had regulations that important officials like the Yangzhou prefect do not have to pay money at all when they come here to spend, and some low-grade officials will also have discounts.

In this Yangzhou city, there is an invisible network of relationships, and many large and small circles have been formed, and even officials and businessmen are closely linked together.

"This messenger is not good, I still have some things to deal with, you don't have to talk to the second person about today's matter!" He Dongxu changed his greedy style in the past, and said seriously.

The old bustard said yes again and again, and personally sent He Zhifu to the back door of the courtyard, and watched him get into the carriage and leave, and the carriage soon disappeared into the slightly dark road.

Seeing that He Zhifu's carriage disappeared, the old bustard hurriedly walked towards Mingchun Tower.

She vaguely felt that the two scholars had other intentions, and even had something to do with Qin Cha's re-investigation of the case. At this thought, she regretted the greed she had just had, she shouldn't have let the two of them go to the room, let alone let them take away some inappropriate things.

It's just that she didn't know that when she hurriedly walked towards Mingchun Tower, Lin Haoran and his party came to the door of the lotus pond building.

In these courtyards, there are two small servants guarding here. Similar to the boxes in later entertainment venues, these are all service staff, and there is a wooden sign in front of the door indicating whether there is anyone here.

The little guy in front of the door was very beautiful, and when he saw Xu Gongzi and his party coming, he stepped forward to give a salute and said: "I've seen Xu Gongzi, I don't know what Xu Gongzi commands!" ”

"Here Ben Gongzi wants it! You have someone bring you good wine and tea, girl! Xu Gongzi waved his hand angrily, and then turned his head to look at Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran's trip was not only to investigate the case, but also to relax himself, so he lightly ordered: "Just call a girl who plays and sings well!" ”

Xu Kuan nodded lightly, and said sharply to the fair-skinned little guy: "Why don't you go quickly?" ”

The little guy nodded hurriedly, but he asked the honest man next to him to go to do something, and he glanced at Lin Haoran hopefully, and Lord Lin, who made Mount Tai collapse and change color, also shivered.

The characteristics of the times, this thoughtful green house not only provides women, but also provides handsome young men. The goodness of Longyang has long been prevalent, and many people actually have the habit of **.

Xu Kuan seemed very familiar with this place, and led the two into the lotus pond building, through the fine house in front, and directly to the lotus pond in the back.

A bright moon hangs high in the sky, rendering this lotus pond as if it were day. This has just left the hustle and bustle of Mingchun Building, and felt the tranquility of this lotus pond, forming a sharp contrast.

The group passed through the nine-curved wooden bridge as if walking through the lotus bushes, and at this time, looking at the lotus flowers blooming under the moonlight, they felt the coolness and comfort here, as if they had entered another time and space.

Meng Zhao was born in Lingnan, obsessed with the imperial examination, although he had heard of Jiangnan, but he had never really visited, and found that the Qinglou still had such a victory, and the whole person was also very surprised.

Xu Kuan saw Meng Zhao's surprise in his eyes, but did not stop on the first floor, but took the two of them to the second floor of the pavilion.

The second floor of the pavilion is semi-enclosed, and a large round window is arranged all around, which not only allows you to enjoy the scenery of the lotus pond below, but also can enjoy the night view of the Xiaoqinhuai River.

The beauty of Yangzhou lies in the water, and the only charm of Yangzhou City is the small Qinhuai River. At this time, on the small Qinhuai River, the painting boats that come and go quietly drive in it, and the opposite bank is a high-rise building with bright lights, writing the poetry and painting of Yangzhou.

"It is worthy of: a dream of Yangzhou once in ten years, and won the name of Qinglou Bo Xing."

Meng Zhao looked at this scene dumbfounded, and finally understood the charm of Yangzhou, and it is no wonder that so many literati have left poems praising Yangzhou throughout the ages.

After a while, the wine and food were delivered, and at the same time, a woman from a green house came with a piano, sat in front of the piano platform and began to play, which added a bit of beauty to this place.

Lin Haoran sat in the first seat as a deserved, and Meng Zhao had the style of a gentleman, that is, he sat in the last seat. Xu Kuan knew that the other party must have an extraordinary status, so he sat down quietly with him.

The longer he came into contact with this Lin Gongzi, the more he felt the extraordinary bearing of Lin Gongzi, and he knew that this must be the son of a certain big clan or court boss.
