Chapter 705: The Investigator Was Inexplicably Killed
She's not here to make money anyway, they can do whatever they like.
When someone saw that Qiao An didn't even pay attention to five thousand taels, he immediately said, "Ten thousand taels of gold, come with me tonight." β
While saying that, he was going to discuss with the old bustard Cuixian, and the old bustard immediately went to Qiao An.
"Girl, there won't be this shop in this village after that, you can be careful." The grandmother naturally hoped that Shen Qiao'an would be combed early, and she could also get a lot of benefits, but Shen Qiao'an said: "Don't quarrel with me, they will come tomorrow, you just need to raise my price, this is a million profits." β
This is indeed a business experience, and the bustard quickly understood.
On the afternoon of the second day, Uncle Liu arrived yesterday, and brought an Uncle Zhang, and the two wanted to listen to Qiao An sing, but Cuixian said: "One hundred taels of silver an hour, the two of you can think clearly." β
The two really thought very clearly, and spent two hundred taels to invite Qiao An to sing for an hour, and they were still happy to come, from that day on, there were more men who came, and Qiao An's price also rose, so much trouble lasted less than three days, and Qiao An became famous far and wide.
As for Li Zhongxuan, he is still in the dark.
On this day, Li Zhongxuan had to go to see Shen Qiao'an on a whim, and General Cheng and the others could only lie, "Niangniang is angry with you, it's been three days, and I don't eat well, so I told the last general not to let you go." β
"I'll just go over and take a look." Li Zhongxuan is bound to go.
When the wolf king and Mo Shaoyan heard this, they frequently gave General Cheng a look, and General Cheng hurriedly made excuses, but he didn't lie, and he stammered as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Zhongxuan suddenly saw the problem, "Isn't it that Qiao An has left the palace, and you are deceiving me?" β
This is the crime of deceiving the king, and it is going to bring disaster to the nine clans! As soon as he heard this, General Cheng couldn't hold on anymore, but Mo Shaoyan was full of thoughts, and hurriedly approached Li Zhongxuan, "Your Majesty, Niangniang is indeed in the palace, you can go and take a look, but once Niangniang gets angry and blames her, I'm afraid that we will sit on wax." β
"It's okay, I'll explain it to her."
In desperation, a group of people went to Fengyi Palace, Qiao An was indeed not there, but there was an imposter little girl who was there, this little girl was also handy to play Qiao An recently, she was also worried at first, but soon found that playing the queen can eat and sleep well, and can also make it difficult for those high-ranking eunuchs and grandmothers on weekdays.
Therefore, she was a little carried away.
But she didn't expect the emperor to come up at this juncture, and she was suddenly frightened, "Your Majesty, the emperor is here, I'm going to be finished!" I'm going to be finished! β
The girl was frightened, her face was as pale as iron, and she got under the bed while muttering, and the girl next to her hurriedly said: "My good sister, this mother is sick and has a fever, go quickly." β
What else can be done for now?
The girl hurriedly got into the cover, the people on Qiao An's side were carefully selected, although timid, but they didn't reveal much, and they had been admonished before Qiao An left, such as how the emperor asked, how they should answer, etc., all memorized the lines.
Li Zhongxuan had already entered the house, but the woman in the bed was trembling all over, after all, she was as timid as a mouse, and when she heard Xiao Chenyu's footsteps at this moment, she was almost scared to death.
"The emperor is here?" The maid immediately served tea, Xiao Chenyu nodded, glanced at the cloud couch, and found that Qiao An was trembling and convulsing, and immediately approached.
"What? An'er, are you sick? Li Zhongxuan grabbed the quilt, and General Cheng, Wolf King, and Mo Shaoyan in the back all changed their expressions.
The girl was not angry, her performance was very exaggerated, and her body twitched excessively, Li Zhongxuan was angry, "What are you sick of, why don't you look for a medical officer?" β
Immediately summoned the medical officers in, and the medical officers approached the quilt, and the girl who was waiting at the bedside immediately said: "Your Majesty, wait a little longer, let the medical officer show the mother." β
Li Zhongxuan could only retreat.
The girl covered the hand of the palace maid with a handkerchief, and let the doctor listen to the pulse, and after the diagnosis, the medical officer immediately went to Li Zhongxuan's side.
"Back to the emperor, there is nothing uncomfortable about Niangniang, but according to the pulse, the diet of Niangniang has been a little too much in the past few days, and she needs to be adjusted!" Li Zhongxuan didn't believe it.
"I see she's shivering, isn't it a fever?" Li Zhongxuan approached the quilt, and the girl in the quilt was sweating profusely and trembling even more.
Li Zhongxuan obviously felt that something was wrong, "An'er, what's the matter with you?" He reached out and took the girl's hand, but the girl's hand was completely different from Joan's.
Although Shen Qiaoan is a pampered woman, there are also a lot of cocoons in the palms of her hands, those cocoons are from martial arts, distributed under the roots of her fingers, and near the tiger's mouth, but this girl's cocoons are in the palm of her hand, which can be seen to be a fake.
Li Zhongxuan was angry, lifted the quilt, and the girl hurriedly jumped off the cloud couch and kowtowed to Li Zhongxuan, "The emperor spares his life!" The emperor spares his life! β
Everyone in the room was silent, and they all knelt on the ground, and Li Zhongxuan looked back, and his sharp eyes were like blades nailed to several people behind him.
"Explain!" He only said two words, General Cheng couldn't open his mouth for a long time, Mo Shaoyan wanted to speak, but he was stopped by the wolf king, what else to explain at this moment? Aren't the facts obvious?
In this solemn environment, a mocking laugh came from the door, "Is it fun?" β
Li Zhongxuan looked back and found that Qiao An walked in from outside, she smiled freely, and said as she walked: "Whoever wants you to bully me, I will ask her to pretend that I scare you, but I didn't expect to scare you, but I was scared by you." β
"An'er, what are you making trouble? I'm so scared! Li Zhongxuan coughed and approached Qiao An, Shen Qiao An was dressed very dignified, in fact, she had just come back from outside.
She calculated the time for Li Zhongxuan to go down to the early dynasty, but she didn't expect that Li Zhongxuan would really come to find her, and at this moment Qiao An had already entered the house, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Niangniang, you have finally arrived, the heads of your subordinates and other items that you joked about are all gone, you can explain it to the emperor." General Cheng hurriedly got up.
"Stand down, there's nothing to do with you here." Qiao An withdrew everyone, the two looked at each other, and Li Zhongxuan complained: "How can you make such a joke with me? β
"You're not going outside!" Qiao An looked at Li Zhongxuan discouragedly.
Li Zhongxuan was angry, and said in a clichΓ©: "Don't I want you to go outside?" I don't want you to take risks, so what's going on out there, you don't understand in your heart? β
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger?" Qiao An was straightforward, and while fighting for herself, she smiled and said, "If I don't play the role of a girl to go to the Qinglou, who will?" You go? β
"You're vexatious."
"You were very supportive when I was vexatious before, but this time you won't." Shen Qiaoan looked at Li Zhongxuan incomprehensibly, and tugged at Li Zhongxuan's sleeve pitifully, and Li Zhongxuan smiled helplessly.
"I'll buy Du Yue'e, I've already inquired, this is a girl with deep affection." Li Zhongxuan has been thinking about these things recently, but when he heard Li Zhongxuan say this, Qiao An was jealous.
"I can't see it, Your Majesty, when did you and Miss Du fall in love?" When Li Zhongxuan heard this, he was extremely annoyed and stomped his feet.
"Well, just kidding, don't worry about these things lately! Think about it, we are chasing so urgently, they must have sensed the danger, so in the long run, by the way, have you eaten it, Your Majesty? We're all in this together. β
Being invited by Qiao An, the gloom on Li Zhongxuan's face finally disappeared, and he smiled, "I asked people to prepare food, what do you want to eat?" β
Shen Qiaoan saw that the danger had been lifted, and immediately said a few dishes, and Li Zhongxuan was also kind and ordered the imperial dining room to do it.
After the food was brought in, the emperor ate it, because Li Zhongxuan still had something to deal with, he was called away by Master Pei, and as soon as Lao Pei left, General Cheng, Mo Shaoqiong and Mo Shaoyan at the door hurriedly rushed into the house.
They gossiped and deservedβ"My aunt, you almost killed us this time, don't play tomorrow, scare people to death." β
"It's fine." Joan didn't think there was anything thrilling, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
It was also her luck that she was about to return to the palace today, and she saw Li Zhongxuan as soon as she came back.
"Don't be afraid."
She stepped forward to help the frightened girl up, the girl's face was as pale as earth, and she said that she would not play Qiao An in the future, Shen Qiao An was coercive and tempting, and the girl had no choice but to agree to continue pretending.
Qiao An stayed in the palace until the afternoon, and General Cheng sent someone over, and the man said: "The general said that the emperor will be outside before the end of the day tonight, and they will go to the Hongyan Gambling House." "Just bring me this sentence simply.
Shen Qiaoan heard this, and immediately understood the meaning.
In the evening, Cheng Jiang made a night patrol, and Li Zhongxuan passed by the Hongyan Gambling House, and the two chatted while walking, "According to the previous investigation, Mo Huaihai must have something to do with this Hongyan Gambling House, but the strange thing is that we have been watching it for a long time and have not seen Mo Huaihai, could it be that he is really dead?" β
"Impossible!" Li Zhongxuan said: "I have already seen it in Longhu Mountain the day before yesterday, and in terms of Lei Zi's words, I am afraid that things will not be so simple, and I should still stare at it, and I must not take it lightly." β
"My subordinates understand."
The two continued to walk forward, and suddenly General Cheng saw a small pawn of his own standing in the corner of the wall, and the position of the little pawn was a little too easy to expose, General Cheng stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
But the man fell straight in front of them.
"Oops!" General Cheng tried the man's breathing, it was already cold, and blood flowed out of his heart, and the two looked at the moonlight, and found that the man's chest cavity had been opened, and the heart had been taken away.
"How unreasonable!" It was clear that someone was warning them, and General Cheng reached out and closed his eyes for the corpse.
"Send someone back for burial first, I'm afraid that he accidentally exposed his horse's feet and scared the snake, and I walked here alone." Because his spies were killed, Li Zhongxuan was very depressed.
"Your Majesty, then you be careful, the last general will lead people to retreat first." They didn't dare to make a noise, lest they startle the snake or disturb the neighbors, General Cheng silently took the deceased away, and in the moonlight, you could see a flash of fluorescence in the corner of his eyes.
Li Zhongxuan was also angry, but he quickly turned his grief and anger into strength, at this moment the moonlight shimmered and shimmered beautifully, and the Hongyan Gambling House also ushered in the most lively moment of the day, there was an endless stream of people coming and going, and Li Zhongxuan was on a big tree at this moment.
His sharp gaze stared at everyone who passed by, but no one was Mo Huaihai, and just as Li Zhongxuan was about to leave, a rich boy appeared, holding a lantern in his hand, and sent a man in a cloak out.
The cloak was pitch black, long and big, almost covering the person's body, but Li Zhongxuan could still judge from the bloated body that this person was Mo Huaihai nine times out of ten!
