Chapter 69: Poison Testing
Yan Ying couldn't resist Cao Ming's thoughts, so she could only go out of the house to buy decorations and help the other party dress up.
"How do you feel, mother?" Yan Ying used silk cloth to help Cao Ming bundle the European pie, thinking that it would be comfortable to tie it up, and she always felt that there would be some accidents.
"It's okay" Cao Ming's face became a little ugly, thinking that this is hellish torture, it seems that those knights who dress up as men are the result of long-term practice.
Yan Ying looked worried and said, "You are really hardworking, otherwise I will help you relax a little bit and save yourself from making trouble again." ”
Cao Ming hurriedly stopped: "Don't touch the silk cloth again, I just feel some pain and chest tightness, and I can overcome these conditions." ”
"Knock knock!" Sima Yi knocked on the door as agreed, thinking that it was already time, so he waited for Cao Ming to go to the brothel together.
"Give me the money bag!" Cao Ming thought that if she went to that kind of place, she would have to spend more money, and she couldn't do it without silver in her pocket.
Yan Ying reluctantly handed over the money bag, thinking that the gold and silver had not yet been warmed up, and it was going to be handed over to someone else.
Yan Ying instructed: "Niangniang, you have to be careful, don't spend all the money in it, we have to use it when we go back." ”
"Got it, stop being verbose!" Cao Ming thought that this ancient place of fireworks, but it was the resident place of poets, and maybe he could meet some famous artists.
Sima Yi waited outside the door for a long time, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Cao Ming came out, he thought that Cao Ming was playing tricks on him, but now it seems that he is really going.
Cao Zhen arched his hand and said: "Niangniang is dressed really professionally, and the throat is covered with the collar, and if you don't look carefully, you think she is a handsome boy." ”
Cao Ming said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and lead the way in front of the palace, and keep your mouth tight, don't say anything about this time." ”
Cao Ming thought to herself that she had worked hard, and even the fake beard had been glued, and if she didn't look like a man anymore, she would hit the tofu.
"No!" Sima Yi led Cao Ming and Cao Zhen out of the small gate, and the rest of the journey had to rely on Cao Zhen, after all, he was the only one who had been to the brothel in this county.
Cao Zhen took the two of them to turn left and right, and then came to a street corner and stopped, and the destination was not far away.
Cao Ming looked at the flower building in front of him and said, "This scale is not small, much larger than I imagined, let's go in!" ”
The ancient land of fireworks was very exquisite, after all, the people who went to it were all literati and scholars, and the construction was too small to arouse the desire of others.
"Yo, Cao Gongzi and the two sons, please!"
The turtle slave had already seen Cao Zhen, and thought to himself why he could stand there without moving, it could be that he was embarrassed by a friend around him.
Cao Zhen stepped forward and ordered: "Don't you have a big private room, now it's time to use it for me for one night." ”
The turtle slave was a little embarrassed and said: "It's really not the right time for Gongzi Cao to come, the biggest room has just been set by Zhang Gongzi, you can only change to other private rooms." ”
Cao Zhen whispered: "Don't talk to me about these useless things, I brought all the distinguished guests this time, otherwise I will give me the largest private room with double money." ”
The turtle slave shook his head and said, "We are a small business, this son is the son of the county order, and I don't want to offend." ”
Cao Zhen came here to play as an ordinary person, others only thought he was the son of a rich family, but they didn't know that he was the righteous son of Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao, and Sima Yi had never been here, so the turtle slave could only choose not to offend Zhang Gongzi.
Cao Zhen took out a piece of silver and said, "When that piece of money comes, I will personally explain to him that these two are people from the capital, so you can't let them go to the small room." ”
"Jingjing City?" The turtle slave's head was a little confused, could it be that they were the children of high-ranking officials, so they couldn't afford to offend.
Cao Zhen said with a serious face: "If you don't want to do much, just do it quickly, people will add a crime to you, and you will have to be jailed." ”
"No!" The turtle slave was frightened by Cao Zhen's words, and immediately went in to arrange for someone to receive him.
Cao Zhen returned to the two of them and said: "I have already arranged it, the largest private room in the flower building, and then I will call the top card in and let her play a tune for you." ”
Cao Ming walked into the flower building with curiosity, and smelled a strong aroma in front of her, and before she could take the initiative to talk to her, several girls surrounded her.
"All go away!" Seeing this, the turtle slave immediately blocked his mouth, for fear that these women would not know how to measure, and it would not end well if they provoked the distinguished guests again.
"A few upstairs, please!" ** personally took the three of them upstairs, and then led the three of them to the elegant room, where the furnishings are indeed relatively high-grade.
After the three of them took their seats, Cao Zhen said to **: "Don't call the wine accompaniment, call Chen Yuzhen over first, and talk about other things later." ”
"Just look at it!" **I wish they wanted more things, and then they wouldn't make a lot of money.
After going out, Cao Ming coughed and said, "It seems that Zidan often comes here for recreation, and even the ** here knows you." ”
Cao Zhen blushed and said: "It really makes the mother laugh, I am all vulgar fun, if you want to sleep later, I will arrange a room for you." ”
Cao Ming thought that the tools for committing the crime were gone, and she could only wash and sleep at that time, but fortunately she could still listen to the tunes for a while.
"I'll sleep later." Sima Yi's face was like an apple, and his heart was beating wildly at this time, but reason still prevailed.
Cao Zhenhu said suspiciously: "Niangniang came here because of curiosity, you can't have the same idea, right?" ”
Sima Yi nodded and said, "I'm already taking a risk to accompany you, and I will never do anything out of the ordinary." ”
"Look at what you said, did I force you to come?" Cao Ming thought to herself, but the legs are on your own body, I didn't pull you along, you don't have such bad thoughts.
Sima Yi couldn't say the bitterness in his heart, Niangniang didn't have to say forced words at all, she had to follow obediently with a look.
"Eat first!" The brothel guy served a table of dishes, and because Cao Ming hadn't moved his chopsticks yet, Sima Yi and Cao Zhen didn't dare to eat first.
Cao Ming was just about to pick up the dishes, but suddenly put them down again and said, "I'm worried that the dishes will be poisoned, you two should eat each dish first, and the same goes for this wine." ”
The two of them were stunned after hearing Cao Ming's words, especially Cao Zhen, who often frequented brothels, thinking about how could there be poison in this meal.
Cao Zhen didn't believe it: "I've been to this brothel several times, if it was poisoned, I should have been poisoned to death, you can eat it with confidence." ”
Cao Ming explained: "Don't be afraid when you say it, my life is worth 20,000 gold, maybe I was already targeted by the killer when I came out of Yanzhou." ”
Cao Ming knew that the intelligence market in ancient times was very developed, especially in wartime, and he attached great importance to the value of intelligence, and wanted to know what things could be solved with money, not to mention that he did not keep his travel secret, and people who knew that the queen had arrived in Wen County.
"Twenty or twenty thousand gold!" Cao Zhen almost didn't shout out, thinking that this amount was already against the sky, and it was enough to build a large city.
Cao Ming thought to herself that this is an imaginary number, but in fact it is calculated according to 10,000 taels, if it is converted into soft sister coins, the number will be about 300 million yuan, and in modern times, 300 million yuan to buy people's lives, it is estimated that there are very many people willing to do this work.
The two of them suddenly fell into deep thought, as if they were thinking about how to spend the 20,000 gold, especially Cao Zhen's eyes, which were about to flash stars.
Cao Ming coughed lightly and said, "I told you out of trust, don't do any crooked thoughts, the last assassin died miserably." ”
Cao Ming felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, these two people really wanted to do something stupid, after all, 20,000 gold was a sky-high price, and it was impossible to say that they were not tempted.
Sima Yi arched his hands and said: "How can Niangniang's life be measured by money, there are countless gold and silver treasures in the world, but there is only one queen mother." ”
"Well said!" Cao Ming thought to herself that Sima Yi was not greedy for small profits, and he was indeed an ambitious person, no wonder he would become the final big winner.
"Wait a minute, I'll test the poison for you!" Sima Yi took a deep breath, then picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, but fortunately, all the dishes were not poisonous.
"There is no poison in the wine!" Cao Zhen didn't want to miss the opportunity to perform, so he hurriedly took a sip of the wine in the glass.
Cao Ming's heart was much more relaxed, if they really ate something, it would be really difficult for them to explain, but now that they are in the field after all, who can guarantee that the dishes are okay.
"Yuzhen is here!" **Carefully pushed open the door of the room, followed by a gorgeous woman, thinking that it was the number one in this brothel.
Chen Yuzhen sat in Cao Zhen's arms and complained: "Cao Gongzi has not come for a long time, but he wants to die of the slave family, and I think you don't want the slave family anymore." ”
Cao Zhen comforted: "How can I not want you, I'll give us a performance later, and then I'll spend the night with you." ”
"Who is this son?" Chen Yuzhen felt that Cao Ming looked a little strange, and thought that this son was too delicate, just like those male pets raised by high-ranking officials and nobles.
Cao Ming suppressed her voice and said: "My surname is Cao Mingpeng, and my name is Minghong, and he is Cao Zhen's brother." ”
"Yes, it's my brother!" Cao Zhen admired Cao Ming very much in his heart, and he didn't even blink his eyes when he lied.
Chen Yuzhen blinked her eyes and said, "Your brother is much more handsome than you, I thought it was your friend, this family is a little worse." ”
"I love to hear that, and then!" Cao Ming was not stingy, and casually threw out a golden bean on the table, and his eyes became straight.
**Put away the golden beans and said: "Gongzi Cao is really generous, Yuzhen is not going to pour wine for Gongzi soon." ”
"I can't drink more than three drinks, and I don't have to drink anything." Cao Ming rarely touches wine now, because she is afraid of delaying some major events.
"Then you drink slowly, let's go out first!" ** beckoned everyone to retreat, leaving only Chen Yuzhen alone in the room.
Chen Yuzhen was puzzled: "Why don't the two sons call them girls, do you want the slave family to serve three people at the same time?" ”
