Li Mao took Zhu Wan'er to an inn, and after the curfew was imposed in the city, the commercial activities in the various squares did not stop there. The so-called curfew is only a general term, but it is actually divided into three levels: scrunch, sinker and curfew, and the three levels represent different statuses. During the night tightening, all residents must stay at home and are not allowed to go out, even if the neighbor's house is on fire, they can only watch through the wall. This practice is generally not used because there are too many drawbacks. When the order is issued, no one is allowed to step out of the house except in the case of fire, serious illness, difficult childbirth, etc.

In normal times, the local only enforce the curfew, the curfew begins before sunset, the residents listen to the sound of drums to return to their homes, and then the soldiers go to the streets to patrol and arrest the prohibitive, this system is quite strict in the early Tang Dynasty, even if the officials violate the ban, they are severely punished, and for this reason they lose their officials and dismiss their posts, and even get convicted abounds. After the Tang Dynasty, the curfew system was gradually relaxed, and in some remote cities and towns with developed commodity economies, the curfew system was almost reduced to a dead letter.

Yunzhou has a developed economy, but because it is a capital, the curfew is still strictly enforced, but it is relaxed in some specific squares, such as the current Zhenwu Fang, although the soldiers and shop soldiers also go to the street to patrol, but they are confined to the face of the neighbors, or privately take the benefits of others, as long as they don't make too much trouble, they can only turn a blind eye and let it go.

The news of Li Shigu's assassination is still tightly sealed, the inside and outside of Yunzhou City are loose and tight, the secret agents of the copper tiger head are dispatched, and the garrisons of each battalion have also been ordered to be on guard, but the ordinary people are dazed and ignorant, and they still fall asleep. Because Zhenwufang is close to several shogunates, there are many wine shops and inns in the fang, and it is bustling endlessly, and it has long become a sleepless city in Yunzhou City. Huge commercial profits nourish the residents of the area, and the residents strive to maintain the prosperity of business. This symbiotic relationship is extremely powerful, and no matter the wind and rain outside the wall, it is still singing and dancing here.

This thick picture of prosperity and prosperity is easy to make people forget the tension and slaughter outside the wall, Zhu Wan'er was a little dazed, it was the first time she knew about such a lively place, and she didn't feel a little envious of Li Mao in her heart, this guy would enjoy it.

Because she was preparing to kidnap Li Mao as a meat shield and go to the military prison to see Ni Ren, Zhu Wan'er put a lot of effort into studying Li Mao's resume, knowing that he was transferred from the Qing Navy's Gushan Town to the Jiefu a month ago, and only after sitting on the cold bench for a few days did he concurrently serve as the military superintendent of the inner courtyard, and was sent to manage the small pine forest outside the city. He must have made a lot of money in the Qing Navy, as soon as he arrived in Yunzhou, he spent a lot of money to buy a house, and built a lot of construction to repair it, the project has not yet been completed, he still lives in the Jiefu Yingbin Mansion, there are several mansions in the Jiefu, which one he lives in, the time is too tight and has not been found, but this is nothing, Zhu Wan'er has a way, she assigned people to ambush outside the four gates of the Jiefu, as long as you follow him, you can know where he is staying.

The hard work paid off, Zhu Wan'er quickly found out Li Mao's whereabouts, she followed and followed, first by a secret prostitute who returned at night, and then by the snobbish eye of Baishanfang, she found a chance to do it until Xiaocifang.

She didn't know if Li Mao lived in this place, but it was only one street away from the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion, and it was also a place where the Inner Courtyard Army lived, so Zhu Wan'er thought it should be very similar. She wanted to ask what was going on, but she was afraid of being laughed at by Li Mao, and she thought that Li Mao was still in her hands now, so she didn't dare to play any tricks, so she couldn't help but ask.

Passing through the crossroads, there is an east-west alley in front of you, turn east, go not far, it is a north-south alley again, there is an old man sitting at the mouth of the alley, Li Mao greeted him calmly and entered the alley, this alley is different from other places, at a glance it is full of lanterns, the alley is covered with a carpet embroidered with peonies, it is very comfortable to step on the soft and soft, there are ten courtyard gates open on both sides of the alley, and there are two red lanterns hanging on the gatehouse of each small courtyard, creating an atmosphere that is very ambiguous.

Zhu Wan'er stopped and asked Li Mao, "What kind of place is this?" Li Mao replied with a smile: "This place is called not homesick, it is a very famous place in Yunzhou City, the wine here is very good, the girl is also good, but the rent is a little expensive, but I don't care, anyway, there are public expenses." Li Mao said, pointing to the small courtyard diagonally across from him and said, "Oh, I'll live there." If you're afraid of me, don't go in. Zhu Wan'er rolled her eyes and roared, "Don't talk nonsense, go." ”

Not homesick is a famous public prostitution hall in Yunzhou City, belonging to Yunzhou Yichun Courtyard, people come and go are either rich or expensive, and the cost is very expensive. Even so, it is often overcrowded, but tonight Li Mao expected that there would not be too many people, and sure enough, it was full of red lanterns at a glance, and the red lanterns meant that the yard was empty, on the contrary, if there were people, they would hang white silk lanterns.

On that day, the clerk was seized by the military government Yu Hou due to the problem of account books, and Li Mao accompanied the Wu family to Yunzhou to run, and was instructed to invite relevant people here, etc., often coming and going, and was deeply impressed.

Zhu Wan'er is ignorant of all this, but she is a smart girl, and when she sees this situation, she knows that she is a prostitute, and she secretly scolds Li Mao in her heart for being lewd and lustful, and she is an authentic villain, but she is convinced of Li Mao's words. She doesn't have a good impression of Li Mao, isn't it reasonable for a villain to live in a prostitute? Seeing that a distinguished guest arrived, **** rushed to greet him, greeting wine and food, and calling for music and singers, seeing that Li Mao was coming with a woman, he asked if he wanted to find a clear guest to accompany him. Li Mao gave the reward money and said with a smile: "I have something to talk about, and I will go back to singing and dancing when I am young." "**** is not verbose, thank you for leaving.

Li Mao sat down cross-legged and drank a glass of wine, and when he saw Zhu Wan'er admiring the famous calligraphy and paintings on the screens around him with great interest, he couldn't help but smile. Zhu Wan'er looked at it for a while, suddenly came to her senses, and asked Li Mao, "What are you bringing me here for?" ”

Li Mao lowered his head to drink and eat food, but did not answer. Zhu Wan'er was annoyed, pulled out her saber, pointed at Li Mao, and said, "You are cheating." The tip of the knife was no more than an inch away from the tip of Li Mao's nose, but Li Mao was not afraid, calmly drank the wine in the cup, put down the wine glass, and then said: "You have a crush on Ni Ren and are willing to die for him, but do you know that he is just using you, he doesn't even want the bottom line of being a man in order to take revenge, how can he have you in his heart?" ”

This sentence really hit the hidden worry in Zhu Wan'er's heart, she was bitterly in love with Ni Ren, willing to live for him and die for him, but to this day she is still not sure whether the other party really has herself in her heart, she risked abducting Li Mao to go to the military prison to see Ni Ren, in order to verify that her choice is not wrong.

However, the odds of this crazy move are geometric, she has no bottom now, and as time passes, she becomes less and less confident. Li Mao stared at her with a smile, his eyes like scissors, cutting open her clothes inch by inch, which made her ashamed, angry and helpless, and her face flushed.

"If you think about the process of your relationship, you will have some understanding." Li Mao kept hypnotizing Zhu Wan'er like a clever hypnotist, her hands began to tremble, and then her whole body trembled.

Knowing Ni Ren was three months ago at Zhu San's birthday banquet, Li Shigu was suspicious and suspicious, and his subordinates easily did not dare to get together for a banquet, Zhu San's birthday banquet became a good opportunity, he was the Li family's favored cook, he had neither real power nor ambition, and he would not be caught by anyone when he went to his house to drink the banquet, there were many people who came to celebrate his birthday that time, and the banquet was very lively, because there were many people, Zhu San had to let her put on men's clothes and come out to take care of it, so she met Ni Ren and fell in love at first sight.
