11th (5) of the first lunar month
Yirenfang, the largest concentration of flower streets and willow lanes in Luoyang West City, is famous all over the world, singers and dancers from all over the world gather here, no matter when it is a prosperous and prosperous world, this is just on the lights, it is already overcrowded. And Wanhualou is the leader of the flower building in this pleasant square, Xuan Lingzi just died here yesterday, just a day later, here as if nothing happened, continue to open for business, and the guests are full, not affected by yesterday's events at all.
In this pleasant square, in addition to this Wanhualou, the most famous is the Thousand Fan Pavilion, the shop is as its name, the women here are mostly foreign vassal women, if the Wanhua Building is called the national scenery, then this Thousand Fan Pavilion can be said to be the characteristics of other countries. This second floor seems to be a Chinese and a western, each unrelated, but in fact, behind the scenes is run by the same person, known as the Huanchang Hua Tuo Shen Sanye, as for his backstage, then there are different opinions, some say that the household is still in the book, some say that the princes and nobles, some say that other countries want to make, in short, all kinds of sayings emerge in endlessly, but what is really credible is that this Shen Sanye is definitely a big family in this god capital, just come to the second floor every day to ask the guests of Liu, so that he can make money every day, and the guests who come here are not rich or expensive, he is here all the year round, can come into contact with all kinds of people of all kinds, three religions and nine streams, and he can be regarded as the number one person in the divine capital. So yesterday Xuan Lingzi was killed on the spot, which caused many innocent people to be injured by stampede.
But in any case, killing people in public in this Wanhualou has affected the business is small, and Shen Sanye's loss of face is big, so if he doesn't punish him, there will always be people who come to the door to smash the field in the future. So on the night of the incident, Shen Sanye launched various relationships to investigate the matter, and it turned out that it was the red-haired Yama who did it, and he couldn't afford to provoke this person, so he had to endure the matter, but the nameless fire in his heart was indeed nowhere to vent.
Then let's go back to Li Saburo and Li Ke. Li Sanlang asked Li Ke to wait for news with him in the Long'an Division, but how could Li Ke be the one who could lie on the couch and sit and wait for the news, not long after Chen Xuanli went out, he chased him out and warned Chen Xuanli that this time to find Princess Azina must be fanfare and momentum! Chen Xuanli didn't know the deep meaning, but later Li Ke explained that looking for a woman in the Shendu City in this way is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and it may be difficult to have a result, so after the closure between the various squares, then make a big fanfare, if someone really wants to break into the sentry post, it must be a thief, so the greater the momentum, the easier it is to put pressure on the other party, and the easier it is to let the other party act and show flaws. In addition, if the Khitan Kingdom entangles the disappearance of the princess in the future, our dynasty must say that it has done its best, and it has caused a storm in the city, but nothing has been found. After hearing this, Chen Xuanli greatly admired Li Ke's strategy in his heart, so he hurriedly did so, and searched for Princess Azina in this god capital with great fanfare.
After Chen Xuanli left, Li Ke had another thought, this Azina, as a princess, must be beautiful, will anyone have bad intentions, and sell it to Hualou at a low price, and after Chen Xuanli left, he came to Yirenfang again alone.
This Li Ke is not close to women, but in the past, he was addicted to alcohol, maybe this is also the unique habit of people in the rivers and lakes, and the swordsmen in the rivers and lakes do not seem to be bad at drinking, so in the past, Li Ke would get drunk in this pleasant place every time he went to God, not for the singer and dancer, but for the old wine of the altar. Li Ke is in Broken Leaf City, which is also a place of foreign domains, so every time he goes to Yirenfang, he must go to the Thousand Domain Pavilion, his chivalrous reputation is far and wide, coupled with his strong martial arts, he is bold, this back and forth and this Shen Sanye have become friends who have forgotten the year, the two never discuss other things too much, together is to drink and talk, and get drunk. Yesterday's incident happened suddenly, Li Ke didn't have time to find Shen Sanye when he arrived at Wanhualou to catch up, and today he just happened to be able to get together in the Thousand Domains, but this time it was not for drinking, but only to investigate the case and find the whereabouts of Princess Azina.
Because he held the token of Long'an Division, the Yulin Army did not stop him along the way, and in a moment, Li Ke arrived at Yirenfang, Qianfan Pavilion. Xiao Er, who was in charge of welcoming guests outside the Thousand Fan Pavilion, knew Li Ke, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Li Daxia, I haven't seen you for a long time, okay?" Li Ke smiled lightly and replied, "Everything is fine, you Shen Sanye are here?" I'll ask him for a few drinks! The little two hurriedly replied: "In, in, in." My family, Shen Sanye, is angry about yesterday's events, and he will be very happy when Li Daxia comes! "Yesterday's incident must have been the killing of Xuan Lingzi, Xiao Er said, and hurriedly led Li Ke all the way into the building, all the way up the ladder, until the top floor of the Heavenly Domain. At this time, Shen Sanye saw Li Kezhi, and the old friends reunited after a long absence, swept away the gloom in his heart, and hurriedly got up to greet him, saying: "Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Are you alright? I hear you ... Li Ke waved his hand and said: "Those troubles, Shen Sanye doesn't need to mention them anymore, Li came this time just to visit the deceased." After speaking, he glanced at the little two next to him, and the little two were also interested, so he hurriedly exited the house and closed the door.
Li Ke looked around, this Tianfan No. 1 was still the same as before, the furnishings were exquisite, and there seemed to be a few more treasures in the room, but Li Ke had no intention of doing this at this time. Although Shen Sanye is over sixty years old, his hair and beard are white, but his body is wide, his face is ruddy, his spirit is full, and he is dressed as a rich man, he and Li Ke have a large age difference, but it does not affect them at first sight, and they have a deep relationship, perhaps because there is no interest between the two, you can drink and meet friends, and enjoy the joy of wine.
Li Ke was the first to speak: "Li was actually present last night, but it was too late to arrive, otherwise we would have done our best to stop this." ”
Shen Sanye waved his hand and said, "I won't mention this matter, it's a pity that this Xuan Lingzi is a once-in-a-century encounter, it's a pity... ”
Li Ke said: "Could it be that Shen Sanye doesn't want to get justice? ”
Shen Sanye smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know that the person who did this is the red-haired Yama, I can't afford to offend this!" ”
Li Ke paused and continued: "This matter seems to be directly committed by the red-haired Yama, but in fact, there is someone else behind it. ”
Shen Sanye asked suspiciously, "Oh? Whoever can be the person behind the red-haired Yama can be regarded as a profound Taoist. ”
Li Ke replied: "Turkic Kedo. Li Ke bluntly said his name without any taboos, while staring at Shen Sanye's expression tightly, this Keduo is from the Turks, and it is also considered other feudal countries, maybe Shen Sanye may know each other.
Shen Sanye looked even more puzzled, thought for a moment, and said, "Keduo? I don't know him. ”
Li Ke had been carefully observing the changes between Shen Sanye's eyebrows, it didn't seem like he was lying, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart, so he said: "This person's whereabouts are secretive, so he can't directly command the red-haired Yama, but he has planned a series of conspiracies to promote everything, and all the evil deeds of the gods in the past few days have come from this person." ”
Shen Sanye seems to understand the purpose of Li Ke's trip, since Li Ke entered the door, he knew that Li Ke did not come to him to drink, he heard about it yesterday, it seems that Li Ke was requisitioned by the imperial court, what case to investigate, but he does not know the specifics, at this moment listening to Li Ke say this, he suddenly understood that Li Ke's trip must be to investigate the case, so he said: "Brother Li, if you have something to say, you can ask directly, I know that you are not here to drink and talk, as long as I can help, I will spare no effort." ”
Li Ke arched his hands, gave a salute, and continued: "Thank you Shen Sanye for your help, Li came here this time just to investigate the case. ”
Seeing that Li Ke was outspoken, Shen Sanye continued: "Then what does my place have to do with the case? ”
Li Ke continued: "There is a matter that seems to be related to this case, please ask Shen Sanye to help. Not long ago, the Khitan princess Azina disappeared, Li suspected that she was robbed by the gangsters, and tonight the Yulin Army has been searching in the Shendu City, but Li has a worry in his heart, whether the gangsters will see the beautiful face of the princess Azina, and sell it here in exchange for silver taels. ”
Shen Sanye was shocked when he heard this, this private possession of the princess of another country is already a capital crime, if the princess is forced to submit again, then no one can protect him. There are many women in the flower street who are hijacked and resold here, in case the princess is in it, he doesn't dare to continue to think about it, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Li, you have to help me in this matter, I will take you to find it now, if you are really here, you must help me get rid of my guilt!" "Shen Sanye has seen the world, but he can't help but panic at this moment, he is just a businessman after all, if this matter is true, the people behind him will never come forward to help, and if he can't keep it, he will lose his head, so he was so anxious that he almost cried.
Seeing this, Li Ke hurriedly said: "Shen Sanye, don't panic, this matter is just a guess by Li, it is not yet true, please take Li to find it quickly, if it really happens, Li will definitely try to help." ”
After hearing this, Shen Sanye seemed to have some confidence in his heart, and hurriedly got up and pulled Li Ke's sleeve and got off the Thousand Domains Pavilion and went straight to the backyard.
Arrived at the deepest room in the backyard of the Thousand Fan Pavilion, this is a two-story small building, there are five or six people guarding the door, needless to say, these are all thugs raised by Shen Sanye, seeing Shen Sanye coming in person, he hurriedly got up to greet him, Shen Sanye didn't say a word, and motioned for them to open the door quickly. Seeing that Shen Sanye looked flustered, something must have happened, and they didn't dare to ask more questions for a while, nor did they dare to slack off, so they hurriedly took out the key and opened the door.
Seeing that the door opened, Shen Sanye hurriedly pulled Li Ke into this two-story small building, the lights in the house were dim, Li Ke got used to it, looked around, and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.
