After Sun Yueling asked Zhang Yinglong to describe the appearance of this maid, he said with a smile: "As I expected, this maid is the personal maid Fluttershy who has been serving Mu Wan back then." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" pauses and says, "Since Fluttershy didn't show up, this one named Xiaocui must also be helping Mu Wan buy rouge gouache as well." ”

Zhang Yinglong was puzzled and asked, "Why are you so keen to track down the whereabouts of the Jingshi Oiran that day?" This question is also a question in the minds of Zhang Pengyong and several other responsible leaders. Although they knew that Yixiangyuan was an industry operated by the Smelling Fragrance Society, they didn't think that Mu Wan was a Smelling Fragrance Society that wanted to rebel and make trouble.

This truth was actually very common in the Ming Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, except for the perverted founding ancestor Zhu Chongba, dealing with those rebellious parties and bandits who committed rebellion has always been the first evil to be investigated and dealt with quickly. Because the Son of Heaven thinks that indiscriminate killing is ominous, he generally only pursues the first evildoer who causes rebellion, and the most that can participate in the remnant party is to fill the army and distribute it, and the court will often be lenient and will not investigate those who do not have a high status among the rebels and bandits, but only do some logistical supplies and wave the flag and shout.

Just like the Ming Sect and the White Lotus Sect and other cults that have always been a disaster to the Ming court, the Ming court only adopted a posture of appeasement, and did not intend to completely eradicate them. Because among these bandits, in fact, many people are forced and bewitched to participate in them, and they are not bent on rebellion. Moreover, these chaotic bandits are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, not opposing alien races, even if the imperial court can clean it up, it is still the vitality of the Ming Dynasty that has been damaged, and there are so many of these people, it does not mean that it can be cleaned up.

Therefore, after the rebellion of the Smelling Fragrance Society, many of the leaders of the Smelling Fragrance Society were regarded as wanted persons by the imperial court and must be arrested. And some of the shopkeepers, accomputes, subordinates, etc. in the business of the smelling incense club did not investigate deeply, but were only routinely dismissed, escorted back to their hometowns, and monitored and guarded by the local government.

Mu Wan, as an Oiran of a Qinglou managed by the Smelling Fragrance Society, although she also has some suspicions, but after all, she did not blatantly oppose the imperial power, let alone directly participate in the rebellion of Gongshun Hou, with the death of Gongshun Hou, she did not even leave this last bit of evidence of collusion and rebellion, so the court forgot about her when it finally cleared up the rebellious party.

Because of this, the four of Sun Yueling's subordinates didn't understand why he was so eager to find an Oiran in the Qinglou, and those who had heard his story a little bit really thought that he couldn't help but be in love with that Oiran and never forgot it.

Sun Yueling didn't want to explain too much, after all, the relationship between Mu Wan and Wenxiang Club was only known by a few people, and said with a smile: "Zhang Qianhu, this Jingshi top brand Mu girl, in fact, has an extraordinary relationship with Xu Hongru, the thief leader of the Wenxiang Society, I am thinking, if I can find Miss Mu, then maybe I can find Xu Hongru." ”

Zhang Yinglong laughed narrowly, with a sudden realization on his face, and said: "The adult is really clever, plan and then move, it turns out that this top brand Mu girl is actually Xu Hongru's concubine, not an adult, the small one is really confused, and he ......doesn't know it at all."

Sun Yueling sighed wordlessly, thinking that it is okay for you to think like this, that Oiran Mu Wan has already recognized Xu Hongru as his brother-in-law, and what is the specific relationship between the two, it may be really difficult to explain.

Zhang Pengyong asked cautiously: "My lord, are we going to take this demon girl?" ”

Sun Yueling shook his head and said: "There's no need for this, tonight, you guys will keep me around the Shanglin Pavilion, and I will sneak into the attic alone to meet this Jingshi leader for a while." ”

Han Qiaoshui persuaded: "This ...... Is it too dangerous? ”

Sun Yueling closed his eyes and said slowly: "She is just a female streamer, and she can still eat me, you can rest assured." ”

At three o'clock that night, Sun Yueling asked his subordinates who had changed into civilian clothes to guard around the Shanglin Pavilion, and quietly climbed into the backyard by himself.

The front yard of the Shanglin Pavilion is still brightly lit, but the backyard is sparsely lit and very quiet, only the sound of insects and frogs chirping from time to time. Sun Yueling took a look at the attic hidden behind the rockery in the faint light, and slowly touched it over there.

The attic stands in the dim light, and it looks quiet and deep. Sun Yueling swept along the curved corridor and soon came to the bottom of the attic. With his current kung fu, Mo said that there was no one in the backyard, and even if there was someone guarding it, it would not be a big problem for him to sneak in.

When he came to the attic, Sun Yueling looked up, the stars and the moon were bleak, the dark clouds were sweeping rapidly, and a light was lit in the two-story attic room, which looked hazy and ethereal.

He gave birth to some unreal feelings, as if he was having a spring and autumn dream that was difficult to wake up from.

Finally, he found out Mu Wan's whereabouts, and he didn't know how she was doing now, what her mood was, whether she was still cold to him and kept her distance.

Sun Yueling suppressed the churning in his heart, kicked on the stone platform next to the attic, and with the help of a flying vertical, he had landed on the second floor of the attic safely.

He came to the room with the lights on, listened carefully for a while, and peeked through the crack in the window, and found that Mu Wan was really the only one in the room, she was sitting at the table at the moment, with her hands on her cheeks, looking at the lamp in front of her in a daze, contemplation.

Sun Yueling couldn't help but be touched, Mu Wan was indeed a lot haggard, she had lost weight, the hair on her forehead was also a little scattered, hanging obliquely on the side of her face, and her big smart eyes in the past also looked a little sluggish at the moment, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

On that day, a generation of famous prostitutes on the banks of the Qinhuai River who looked forward to the romance had become like this, and he couldn't help but feel compassion at a glance, and sighed in his heart. But then I thought of her ruthlessness towards herself, as if there was another thorn in my heart that was difficult to eliminate, and I felt a faint pain.

Sun Yueling took a long breath, knocked on the door with his hand, and made three "tuk tuk" sounds.

"Is it Fluttershy?" Mu Wan's still tactful voice came from inside.

Sun Yueling suppressed his shaking heart and said in a deep voice: "It's me, Sun Yueling." ”

There was a slight exclamation in the room, followed by the friction of the tables and chairs, and after a while, the footsteps sounded, and when I came to the door, there was a "squeak", the door opened, and under the reflection of the moonlight, Mu Wan's beautiful and innocent face appeared in front of me.

The two stared at each other a few times, but neither spoke, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

"Miss Mu!" Sun Yueling first broke the dullness and said, "Can I go in?" He originally wanted to call Qiqi, but at this time, he couldn't say that title anyway.

Mu Wan saw that she was the only one, let him in, closed the door, and said, "How did you know that I was here?" ”

Sun Yueling sighed: "You may not know, I am already serving in the Criminal Department now, and I am afraid it will not be too difficult to find you." ”

Mu Wan smiled sadly and said, "Yes, I heard your story, you are now a cadre of the Donglin Party and a favorite of the Son of Heaven." ”

Sun Yueling smiled bitterly: "It's not that exaggerated, I'm just a person who is manipulated by fate and can't help myself." ”

Mu Wan turned around, his gloomy gaze flashed with a hint of determination, and said to him: "So, Lord Sun came here this time to arrest me?" ”

Sun Yueling shook his head and said, "Miss Mu is too worried, I came here this time because I have something important to ask you for help, how dare I have the slightest disrespect for you." ”

The corners of Mu Wan's mouth twitched, and she said, "Oh? Master Sun is in an important position, and he is famous as a Beijing teacher, what else will I need to be helped by a weak woman? ”

Sun Yueling sighed in his heart, and didn't know how to persuade her, picked up the teapot on the table, poured her a cup of tea, put it on the table in front of her, and said, "Are you still doing things for Wenxiang?" ”

Mu Wan didn't pick up the tea, but looked at him with a pair of wonderful eyes and asked, "What is it, what is it?" ”

Sun Yueling poured a cup of tea for himself, drank it all, put down the teacup heavily, and said: "What's good about smelling the fragrance, is it worth your life for it like this?" Mu Wan kept his distance and precautions from him from beginning to end, which made him very unhappy.

Mu Wanyou sat down opposite him and said, "The Smelling Fragrance Club is already a cult and a chaotic party, of course there is no concern for the hall, Lord Sun joined the care hall, and there are Donglin party members to escort him, and the future is naturally limitless." ”

Hearing her sarcastic words, Sun Yueling suddenly couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and said hatefully: "Mu Wan, the reason why I, Sun Yueling, can have today is not because of you, if you weren't ruthless and unrighteous to me that day, how could I join the Caring Hall?" Remembering the persecution of Wenxiang several times against him, he said, "Don't forget, how many good things you have done to me when you smell incense, even if I don't die, I almost became a eunuch, you say, how can I have a good impression of Wenxiang?" ”

When Mu Wan heard this, she seemed to remember that Wenxiang would almost kill him several times, her expression suddenly relaxed, and she sighed: "Anyway, you are already a famous figure now, Wenxiang will be like a rat crossing the street and everyone shouts and beats, you Donglin Party members, after all, still won this battle." ”

Sun Yueling let out a long breath and said, "Those rules and doctrines of the Smelling Fragrance Society are simply unrealistic and demagoguery, I don't understand, why do you actually believe in them and still serve them wholeheartedly?" ”

Mu Wan sneered and said, "Lord Sun is in the imperial court, of course he will say so. If you were a grassroots farmer at the bottom, you probably wouldn't have such a short-sighted view. Although Wenxiang will lose, but I don't think that the concept of "life is the same" and "eliminate oppression" of Wenxiang will be wrong, the winner is king, and the loser is the villain, what is there to say. ”

After a pause, he said, "If Lord Sun was not an official of the imperial court at the moment, and was still a scholar who was oppressed by the Jinling Society back then, would you still think so?" ”
