Chapter 87: If there is an afterlife
During the day, although Pingkangfang is not as glamorous and charming as at night, it is not lacking in liveliness. The prostitutes of the Tang Dynasty are divided into official prostitutes and private prostitutes. Official prostitutes have a unified registration and tax collection management by the government, and although they are lowly people, they are also "taxpayers" and can enjoy the protection of the law. Some popular prostitutes also have a certain social status and are quite favored by princes and nobles.
Like Zhang Miaoxiao, who is worthy of the level of "Jinghua Famous Prostitute", not ordinary people can afford to consume. If you want to get her favor, first of all, in addition to having enough financial resources, she must also be able to see it well!
Today, Zhang Miaoxiao is in his exquisite small courtyard, feasting three well-known young poets. Tang people are prostitutes, and the pleasure between the beds is not all, especially getting along with a talented prostitute like Zhang Miaoxiao, it is more about pursuing a kind of elegance and fashion.
The three young poets and the four of them sat together on the grass among the flowers by a stream, playing with the flow of the water and chanting poems. The incense tripod is melodious, and the four of them are not disheveled, but one is more elegant and leisurely than the other.
Suddenly, a woman's shout came from the door of the small courtyard, "Girl, girl, what are you doing?!" "Godmother, what's going on?" Zhang Miaoxiao asked in surprise.
The official prostitutes who are a little better will recognize an old bustard as a "godmother" and ask her to help with the portal and contact business. Most people would call this old bustard ......
"Burst the charcoal, what's the alarm?!" The three young men sat up in shock when they heard the sound, only to see two white-clothed women walking towards them, beautiful and graceful, both of them had cold faces and swords in their hands at the same time, and a murderous aura came to them!
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts and at the same time had a dazzling illusion, the two were exactly the same?
"Protector, Protector!" The bustard, who was in his fifties, screamed in panic, and several people who looked like turtle slaves rushed from all sides with whistle sticks.
"Are you Zhang Miao?" Linlang completely ignored everyone, stood in front of Zhang Miao, and asked in a deep voice.
"I am." Zhang Miaoxiao stood up and walked in front of Linlang like a weak willow supporting the wind, "The two girls are looking for me, what is the matter?" ”
"Take your life."
As soon as the words fell, the two long swords were unsheathed, but everyone heard a "bang" sword groan.
The three young poets were all startled, "Lang Lang, blue sky and white sun......
The fierce guard directly waved the whistle stick and hit it.
Linlang each kicked out, and instantly put four or five strong men to the ground and couldn't get up again, "Only kill Zhang Miao, don't ask the rest!" If there is any more obstruction, there will be no mercy! ”
The three young poets were all so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe anymore.
"Girl, two girls spare their lives!" The old bustard cried and fell to the ground and kowtowed, "I and other lowly people have never just sold their lives, dismantled their flesh and skin, begged for a bite to eat, and never dared to offend anyone!" ”
"Godmother, it's none of your business, you don't have to beg." Zhang Miao stood quietly in front of Linlang, facing them directly and said lightly, "The three Langjun also please leave quickly, don't suffer because of me." ”
The three powerless young poets could not care about any hard men at this time, ran out of the courtyard in a hurry, turned around and hid in the arch of the courtyard, and looked inside.
Zhang Miaoxiao glanced at the three of them sideways, lowered her eyelids, and sighed softly, "Sure enough, it's a prostitute who is ruthless and a prostitute who is unjust." No matter how generous and majestic the poems are, they are just a scholarly righteousness after all! ”
"Close your eyes." Linlang's voice seemed to have no emotion.
Zhang Miao raised her head and smiled slightly.
Linlang was just about to hand the sword forward, but the movements in her hand were neat and stagnant, and the tip of the sword stopped half an inch before her throat.
Laugh?
"My slender man fell into prostitution, and he should have died to seek relief." Zhang Miaomiao faced the tip of the sword, and said calmly, "I don't think the two girls are like the reckless people in the rivers and lakes who careless about people's lives, but like people in the official family who turn their hands into clouds." You should know that even death row prisoners have a bowl of severed head rice to eat. ”
The Linlang sisters looked at her as if there was no trace of fireworks, and said lightly: "You don't." ”
"I don't need to be decapitated, I just want to die." Zhang Miaoxiao said, "Who sent you to kill me?" "That's not what you're supposed to ask." Linlang's voice cooled down again, "Close your eyes and go on the road with peace of mind." ”
Zhang Miao smiled slightly, "Whether it's a man or a woman, this can be said after all." When I heard it, I was just taken underground, and it was okay with the two girls. ”
"Female."
"Thank you! …… Since he didn't want to kill me, then I can go on the road with peace of mind! ”
Zhang Miaoxiao smiled for the third time, her eyes were red, and tears rolled out of her eyes, "If you see that man one day, please tell him that the prostitute may also be affectionate." ”
"Who are you talking about?" Linlang frowned at the same time.
"A man I shouldn't have met, but I did." Zhang Miaoxiao smiled again, looking at Linlang with a very soft look, "Sooner or later, you will know who he is." ”
The Linlang sisters looked at each other in astonishment, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts.
"If it was really just a mistake to meet him, this mistake would be quite fatal......" Zhang Miaoxiao took a deep breath and furrowed her brows.
"In the next life, I hope to meet him again!"
Linlang's eyes widened in astonishment at the same time!
"I hope that at that time, Zhang Miao will not fall into prostitution again!"
Linlang took a deep breath at the same time...... Mercy should not be in the minds of people like us!
Zhang Miao closed her eyes, "Do it!" ”
"Zhang Miao, go on the road with peace of mind! If possible, we will bring your words as they are! ”
Sword light!
Bloodlight!
Two long swords pierced her chest and throat at the same time, so that she could die in the shortest possible time!
Linlang is as fast as lightning and draws his sword back into its sheath, and our mercy can only go so far at best.
……
Xue Shao slept and woke up, ate some food, called the demon to sit in the study together, and began to write "The Mirror of the Six Armies". Some time ago, Xue Shao spent a lot of effort polishing the nib of the "fountain pen", and after many failures, he finally achieved a little success. Although this tip is not a high-end alloy and is far less useful than later generations, it is still much faster and faster than writing with a brush.
You'er was full of curiosity about the pen, and after poking through many sheets of paper, she was finally able to write legible.
Xue Shao felt sore after writing for a while, so he could only stop and take a break. He couldn't help but sigh, I'm still just writing articles silently, it's so hard, those online novel authors have to write tens of thousands of words every day, how should I do it? That's a miracle of life!
He was about to start writing again, when someone ran upstairs with a stumbling step. Listening to the footsteps, it was a little heavy and procrastinating, it would never be a moon slave with good martial arts, it should be a man.
Xue Shao put down his pen, the door was slammed, and Li Xianyuan's voice sounded outside, "Brother Xue, Brother Xue, something is wrong!" ”
"The door is not closed, come in."
Li Xianyuan broke in, his face full of horror, "Zhang Miao was killed!" ”
Xue Shao's eyes widened in astonishment, "Demon, you go to the bedroom to honor the book." ”
"Oh......" You'er picked up the pen and hurriedly left.
Li Xianyuan hurriedly closed the door and grabbed Xue Shao's sleeve, "Two, two women, two women who look exactly the same and wear white!" Two, two swords, one sword piercing the throat, one sword piercing the chest! He died on the spot, and many people watched it, and no one dared to stop him! According to the onlookers, they look like people in the official family! ”
Linlang!
Xue Shao suddenly took a deep breath in his heart, how could this be?!
Li Xianyuan looked at Xue Shao in horror, "Brother Xue, it seems that you guessed who the murderer was?" ”
"You can't guess?" Xue Shao's eyebrows were clenched into fists behind him, and his expression became very serious.
Li Xianyuan slapped his palm on his forehead and sighed heavily, "Hey!! ”
Li Xianyuan is not stupid at all, although he has not seen it with his own eyes, but in such a peaceful and prosperous world, those who can unscrupulously break into other people's homes in broad daylight to kill people in public are by no means gangsters and ruffians, and they will not even be ordinary powerful people! …… Moreover, the person who was killed was Zhang Miao, a prostitute in the capital who only relied on skin and flesh and poetry to eat, and who could she have a deep hatred with?
"Brother Xue, she...... Why did she kill a prostitute? Li Xianyuan spread out his hands, both entangled and distressed, as if he was still a little distressed, and shouted, "What is it for?" Xiaosheng really can't figure it out! ”
"I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me." Xue Shao shook his head and let out a long sigh, his teeth clenched, and his bones rattled.
"Is she guilty of being jealous of a prostitute?" Li Xianyuan shook his head again and again and sighed heavily, "Besides, it's all old things!" ”
"Say no more. In particular, don't say it publicly. Xue Shao said lightly, "Unless, you want to die." ”
Li Xianyuan trembled with fright, "Not really!" ”
"Very much." Xue Shao sat down again, picked up the pen, took a deep breath continuously, and began to write on the paper.
Li Xianyuan couldn't help but be stunned, "Brother Xue, something like this has happened, can you still sit still?!" ”
"Quiet writing can make a person's state of mind clear and calm, so that they have the ability to think and come up with real solutions to problems." Xue Shao wrote calmly and said, "Anger and impulsiveness will only make things worse. ”
"There is calm in the face of major events, Brother Xue is so generous!" Li Xianyuan exclaimed, "But, but-although Zhang Yaoyao is a prostitute, she has been without a wife with you for a long time, and now she has been killed like this, why don't you do something?" ”
"If I hadn't shown up, she might have been buried with a whole body; If I go to see her at this time, she will definitely have no bones left, and she may even affect the whole family. Xue Shao's voice gradually calmed down a lot, but his eyes were bright!
"Ugh! ......" Li Xianyuan heard it, and it seemed to make some sense. If Xue Shao jumped out at this time to mourn Zhang Miaoxiao or collect her body and bury her, wouldn't it be tantamount to slapping her in public in the anger of Princess Taiping? That would indeed push things into the abyss out of control!
"Then what are Brother Xue's plans?" Li Xianyuan hurriedly said, "This looks like a big trouble, she has made such a ruthless move, what will she do next?" ”
Xue Shao said lightly: "Do you think she will do something to me?" ”
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if! This woman, especially the little woman, is still a royal little woman, and when she gets angry, she doesn't talk about anything, and she can do anything! "Li Xianyuan wants to pick up Xue Shao and run away, why are you still so immobile, a catastrophe is coming!.
