When Qi Ning arrived at the Drunken Willow Pavilion, it was already the second half of the night, and the previously lively and noisy Drunken Willow Pavilion had also quieted down at this time, and the guests had either returned home, or they had already fallen asleep with the girl in their arms, and there was no one to greet them in front of the Drunken Willow Pavilion.

Qi Ning has changed into the previous middle-aged mask, into the building, there are no longer a few people in the hall, the two turtles leaned on the chairs and yawned, saw Qi Ning enter the house, both of them got up, glanced at each other, Qi Ning had rescued Hua Mianxiang in this building before, these two turtles happened to have seen this face, one of them had already greeted him with a smile, and said: "This master, you are here!" ”

"Where's the flower face?" Qi Ning glanced at it and got straight to the point.

"Uncle, wait a minute, I'll let people know." The turtle man glanced at his companion, and the other turtle man turned around to leave, but Qi Ning had already said coldly: "Stop!" ”

The man was stunned, his footsteps stopped, Qi Ning walked over slowly, stood beside the man, and asked, "Where is the flower face fragrance?" ”

The corners of the turtle man's eyes jumped slightly, and he said with a smile: "The uncle said before that he would come later, and the flower face was also cleaned up and dressed, but I didn't see the uncle when I arrived, so I .....!" ”

"So how?"

"So let Hua Xiangxiang go back to his house." The turtle man smiled and said: "The little one will go and summon the flower face incense, dress up a little, and soon be able to come over to serve the uncle, the uncle will drink a cup of tea first, and wait for a while.....!" ”

Qi Ning shook his head and said, "I don't want to wait, where he is now, you can take me over." ”

Gui Gong was slightly embarrassed, smiled awkwardly, Qi Ning said coldly: "I have already paid the silver, Hua Mianxiang is my person tonight, take me to see her now, is it very embarrassing?" ”

The turtle man was a little helpless, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "That.... Then the uncle will come with me. But he didn't go upstairs, but took Qi Ning to the backyard, Qi Ning followed, out of the front building, from the back door to the backyard, and was taken outside a back room by the turtle man, the house was still lit up, the turtle man went to the door, glanced at Qi Ning, and then shouted inside: "Hua Mianxiang, that uncle is here, you clean up ......!" ”

Qi Ning looked around, the house in the backyard was not comparable to the front at all, the front building was gorgeous and luxurious, but the backyard was old.

There was a chaotic sound in the room immediately, and then I heard the panicked voice of Hua Yanxiang: "I.... I'll be ...... right away! ”

The blind fortune teller left a poem, guiding Qi Ning to the Drunken Willow Pavilion, and pointed the clues directly at Hua Mianxiang, Qi Ning still doesn't understand what's strange about this, Hua Xiangxiang is just a Qinglou woman who has already passed through the Drunken Willow Pavilion, in her, what clues are worth digging up?

"Uncle, the little one will take you to the front building first, find a clean room, and after Hua Yanxiang cleans up here, the little one will take her up." The turtle man smiled and said, "In short, tonight will definitely make the uncle's trip worthwhile." ”

Qi Ning didn't pay attention to it, suddenly stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and had already pushed open the door of the house, and immediately diffused a stale smell from the house, which was very unpleasant, Qi Ning frowned slightly, glanced at it, and saw that this was an extremely narrow room, there was a small board bed in the corner, and there was a small wooden table next to the bed, which was simple and abnormal, and the flower face was standing in front of the small wooden table at the moment, holding a wooden comb in his hand, and was dressing in front of a copper mirror.

The turtle prince had already stepped forward to persuade: "Uncle, it's a little dirty here, it's still .....!" ”

Qi Ning raised his hand, signaled that the turtle prince didn't need to say much, and said lightly: "You don't need to go to other rooms, I'll be here tonight." ”

"Huh?" Gui Gong was a little surprised, and then thought to himself that this guest's hobbies were only afraid that they were very different from ordinary people, otherwise how could he fall in love with the flower face fragrance with a damaged face? smiled: "The little one will send the wine and food here later." ”

After the turtle man retreated, Hua Mianxiang came back to his senses, thought of something, took out a clean handkerchief, wiped the only small wooden stool in the room again and again, and then took two steps back, and said a little nervously: "Uncle..... Please be seated, uncle! ”

Qi Ning looked at her reaction, she didn't have the sophistication and ease of the woman at the scene, she just nodded her head, sat down on the wooden bench in the past, looked around, and nothing special happened, she really didn't know how to talk about it for a while, hesitated, and finally asked, "..... them Didn't hit you, did you? ”

Qi Ning was worried about Tian Xuerong's safety before, and left halfway to rescue Tian Xuerong from the tiger's mouth, but he thought in his heart that after he left, the old bustard would not be embarrassed.

Hua Mianxiang hurriedly shook her head and said, "No..... No......! ”

Qi Ning nodded, and by the light of the light, he observed that Hua Xiangxiang had changed into a relatively clean dress, but the material was obviously very inferior, far from the clothes of the girls in the front building, although there were two very eye-catching scars on one side of the face, but if you look closely, this flower face is very beautiful, obviously she was also an outstanding beauty in the past, and between her eyebrows, there is no wind and dust that a woman in the green building should have.

Hua Mianxiang now belongs to the most despicable miscellaneous woman in this drunken willow pavilion, and naturally there is no jewelry, the only thing Qi Ning saw was a necklace hanging around her neck, saying that it was a necklace, but in fact, it was a jet-black hemp rope strung together, and there was an object hanging at the bottom, which was covered by clothes, and it was impossible to see what it was.

"Sit down first." Qi Ning saw that Hua Xiangxiang was very nervous, and even a little uneasy, raised his hand and motioned for Hua Xiangxiang to sit down on the edge of the bed, although this is Hua Xiangxiang's residence, but Hua Xiangxiang looked very restrained, forced a smile, just sat on a small piece of the bed, glanced at Qi Ning, and asked, "Uncle..... Uncle is not from the East China Sea? ”

"I'm a traveler from out of town." Qi Ning smiled slightly, he knew that if he had a serious face, Hua Yanxiang would inevitably be even more nervous, if he relaxed, Hua Yanxiang would also relax because of his emotions, sure enough, Qi Ning smiled gently, and Hua Yanxiang's nervousness seemed to have weakened a little: "The humidity here in the East China Sea is very heavy, a lot.... Many people from other places came over, and they were very uncomfortable. ”

"I've been to a lot of places, but there's nothing too much of a problem." Qi Ning said with a pleasant face: "You are from the East China Sea?" ”

"I ..... No......! Hua Mianxiang shook her head: "My hometown is ..... In Yueyang! ”

"Yue Yang?" Qi Ning was stunned, thinking that Yueyang was in the area of Jingnan, and it was a long way from the East China Sea, so he said strangely: "You are from Yueyang, how did you get to the East China Sea?" ”

Hua Mianxiang lowered her head and said: "I have no mother since I was a child, and I depend on my father for my life, but my father likes to drink heavily, and he ..... I like to gamble money, when I was thirteen years old, he owed a gambling debt, unable to repay, debt collector came to the door, my father ..... My father gave me a gambling debt. ”

Qi Ning frowned, with a hint of sadness between his flowery faces: "At first, I just sold it to a big family as a maid, I.... I've been to several homes, coming and going, and later.... Later, it was sold to the East China Sea, and accidentally smashed one of the jewelry boxes of the main mother, and ..... was sold to the Drunken Willow Pavilion. ”

Qi Ning sighed in his heart, this flower face has a miserable fate, which is really sympathetic, and asked softly: "The scar on your face ......!" ”

"I have been in the Drunken Willow Pavilion for less than half a year, and I met a guest who was drunk that day and used ..... Hit me with his fist, I wanted to dodge, he ..... He picked up a pair of scissors and ......! Hua Yanxiang lowered her head, her voice trembled, but she couldn't continue.

Qi Ning shook his head, although he sympathized with Hua Xiangxiang's fate and suffering, but judging from Hua Xiangxiang's experience, he couldn't find clues that were particularly useful to him, and he was even more puzzled why the blind fortune teller wanted to let him come to Hua Xiangxiang, at this moment, footsteps sounded outside the door, and the turtle man from before came into the house with wine and food, and said with a smile: "If the uncle needs anything, just give the order." He put the wine and food on the dresser, and said to Hua Mianxiang: "Serve the uncle well, if you are neglectful, your mother will not spare you." ”

Qi Ning's face was a little ugly, after the turtle man finished speaking, he left with a smile, Qi Ning made a look, Hua Mianxiang understood, went over to close the door, and then walked back, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Uncle..... Is the uncle going to rest? I.... I'm going to fetch some water and I'll wait for you to wash .....!" ”

Qi Ning waved his hand and said, "You don't have to think about it, I came here tonight just to talk to you, and I don't mean anything else." ”

Hua Mianxiang was a little surprised, Qi Ning thought for a while, and then asked softly: "Girl, I asked you about someone." ”

"Who is Uncle talking about?"

"There is a fortune teller in Donghai City, and both eyes are blind." Qi Ning roughly depicted the figure of the blind fortune teller, and then asked, "I don't know if you have seen this person?" ”

"Fortune teller?" Hua Mianxiang looked confused, shook her head and said: "After I arrived at the Drunken Willow Pavilion, I have never been out of the gate, and I don't know what the street looks like..... I've never seen it before. ”

Qi Ning was surprised: "You mean that after being sold to the Drunken Willow Pavilion, you haven't been out of the gate?" ”

Hua Mianxiang smiled sadly, nodded and said: "Mom watched very closely, she sent someone to keep an eye on me, afraid that I would run away secretly, don't say that leaving the Drunken Willow Pavilion is.... Even if you are close to the gate, as long as they see it, you will ......! ”

Qi Ning was a little annoyed in his heart, the people in the Drunken Willow Pavilion obviously didn't regard Hua Yanxiang as a person at all, but they were even more surprised in their hearts, thinking that Hua Yanxiang hadn't even come out of the gate, and he was the most lowly in the Drunken Willow Pavilion, so it was impossible to have any connections, how could such a character have the clues he needed? He had always suspected that the fortune teller had led him to the Drunken Willow Pavilion to look for the fragrance of the flower face, and perhaps it was somewhat involved in the cause of the death of the Tantai Zhilin, but now it seemed that the two were not compatible at all.

Since he was not involved in the death of Yutai Zhilin, why did the fortune teller let himself find the fragrance of flowers?

"Then do you know that the Grand Governor of the East China Sea Division?" Qi Ning asked as he stared at Hua Yanxiang's eyes.

Hua Mianxiang said: "I heard the guests mention him. ”

"In other words, although you have heard of the Tai Zhilin, you have not seen it, and the fortune teller, you have never even heard of it." Qi Ning was thoughtful, judging from Hua Yanxiang's reaction, this girl really didn't know anything about the blind fortune teller, and she had nothing to do with the Tantai Zhilin, his heart was full of doubts, and he was at a loss for a moment about the other party's intentions.
