Chapter 175: You are the second prince Zhao Conghua
On the second day, Zhao Laosan settled the little lady at home and went to the market with tofu. I came relatively early, and when I arrived at this bazaar, the genius was bright. He came today, mainly to explore the details of the four princes, Zhao Congye, and the tofu he was carrying was just a disguise.
In the late autumn market, at this hour, there are very few people, only some shop owners, still pouring their goods. He didn't plan to sell tofu at the stall today, so he went straight to the restaurant he used to know in the market and sold it to the shopkeeper at a low price.
The shopkeeper of this restaurant felt very strange, Zhao Laosan, who sold tofu today, was in a hurry and gave him such a low price, and he was willing to buy this tofu.
The tofu was sold, and at this time, it was bright. Zhao Laosan estimated that this Zhao Congye should spend the night in a place like Zuisheng Building. Since he became a parent, he often sells some miscellaneous things at the chef of Zuishenglou. He also recognized the head of the kitchen. is going to explore the truth under the guise of going to the back kitchen, and see if this Zhao Congye is in this drunken building.
When he arrived at the door of the Zuisheng Building, Zhao Laosan took out a little bit of broken silver, dismissed the guard who was still dozing, put the basket on his shoulder behind the side door, and went in.
Originally, this was just a town, and it stands to reason that there was no such a luxurious performing arts place, but this Qinghe town was close to the border of the Song Kingdom, and many merchants and dignitaries gathered in this town. Therefore, this drunken building is particularly lively. The grandmother here, with this geographical location, is not a problem to earn money every day.
This early morning is the quietest time in Zuishenglou. Singing all night, these benefactors and girls are napping at this time, and it is also the time when the precautions are the most lax.
Zhao Laosan is not familiar with this place, but he has heard Su Binghuai say that there are four floors here, and the bottom floor is the most ordinary place where ordinary people occasionally come to hang around, listen to music, and drink tea. The second layer is the place where the son with a little money occasionally indulges in a handful, and the third layer is where the regular customers of the girls often come and go, and the fourth layer, if you don't have dozens of hundreds of taels of silver, don't even think about going up.
I heard that the girls there have snowy skin, bright eyes and plain teeth, and they are charming in their gestures, and they are full of fat powder when they scratch their heads and hesitate. The girls above are all under the age of fifteen, and if they don't have any benefactors, they just have fun and refine their piano, chess, calligraphy and painting skills, and don't pay attention to these people coming and going.
The grandmother of this drunken building also takes a fancy to the girls on the fourth floor, if these girls can receive benefactors once a month, it is a sure deal.
On weekdays, the girls above are all serving with delicious food and drink. Every day, if the cook has something good, he is the first to deliver it to the top. What Tianshan Snow Lotus, Hibiscus Candied Fruit, Yuxu Jasmine Sauce from Beijing...... Ordinary girls don't see each other.
Zhao Laosan stood in this main hall, looking at the people who were sleeping upside down, tilting his head, the decoration here was exquisite, red vermilion lacquer, set off by the red lanterns, very magnificent. If this Zhao Congye is really in this drunken building, with his lofty temperament, he must be on the fourth floor.
When I entered the door, I heard from the cooks that a few days ago, a girl had just turned fourteen years old from the drunken building. A pair of watery eyes are clear, and the skin up and down the body, if it is like a bright moon, after bathing, it is as bright as a peeled lychee. Originally, this grandmother still disliked this girl a little older, usually the girl on the fourth floor, fourteen years old is considered old, fifteen years old, and she is ready to go down to the third floor.
But this grandmother, a woman, stared at this face, and couldn't take her eyes off, let alone a man, so she bought it decisively and stayed on the fourth floor of the Zuisheng Building.
This girl, Zhao Laosan estimated in his heart, Zhao Congye was in her room last night.
If you take the stairs, it is too scareless. A pair of narrow black eyes, looked around for a while, and saw that there were only a few cleaning grandmothers in the corridor, kicking their feet, and flying up the wall to the fourth floor with force.
Just as he was about to land, he saw that the corridor on the fourth floor was heavily guarded, and a roundabout gently landed on the threshold of the third floor.
It seems that the second prince Zhao Congye is undoubtedly here!
Zhao Laosan held his breath, the two hadn't seen each other for seven or eight years, and every time he went up a step, his heart, the battle eight years ago came to mind.
Eight years ago, Zhao Congye was still the most favored fourth prince of the saint, because of the favor of his mother, the emperor also took a special fancy to him. For the sake of his mother and concubine, in order to compete for the position of the crown prince, he did not hesitate to fabricate the false testimony of the Cong Hua army colluding with foreign enemies, so that the loyal Cong Hua army was attacked by the enemy in the Ximo Grand Canyon, and the whole army was annihilated.
And he thought he was dead, and when he woke up, he was by the river, which had been stained red with the blood of tens of thousands of Conghua soldiers.
The center of his eyebrows was twisted into a knot, and this step by step was a memory of the past, and he didn't realize that Zhao Laosan's body was trembling. If it weren't for this time, the four princes Zhao Congye had been involved with his little lady by mistake, and he would have endured what happened eight years ago and only been a farmer in this field.
Seeing that the two guards on the ladder were carrying him, he prepared to turn over and walk up the roof beam. As soon as I got up to the beam, I heard someone talking in the house. Although eight years have passed, Zhao Laosan can still hear his voice, he is Zhao Congye, his younger brother.
"Fourth prince, this girl was quite satisfied last night?"
"Satisfaction is satisfaction, but the smell of dust is still heavier! It's better to have the village woman on the sacrificial platform that day, and her eyes are very seductive! The fourth prince was lying on the bed, looking at the person beside him, although he was white and beautiful, but after all, he was different from the person he met that day.
"But the fourth prince, after all, the village woman is pregnant, how can such a lowly person ...... with the four princes?"
"What if I'm pregnant, I've never played before, but I want to try!" The corners of the four princes' lips hooked, and they were very frivolous.
"By the way, has Wei Rufeng's body been found?"
Although this Zhao Congye is greedy for beauty, he is also a ruthless and cunning person, and he has never fallen behind in the serious things that should be done.
The guard standing at the threshold, clasped his hands, and whispered: "The hound has been released, this corpse will be found soon!" It's just a little strange, this Wei Rufeng doesn't count this area, I don't know why there is no corpse of him within a radius of dozens of miles! ”
"This Wei Rufeng has always been under my control, and this corpse is not within a hundred miles, this matter is indeed a little strange!" Zhao Conghua sat up from the bed and got dressed.
"Fourth prince, what should I do with this person?" The guard came in and looked at the girl who was attached to him, looking flattering.
The fourth prince raised his eyebrows, and his thin lips opened: "We talked about too many things last night, this person can't keep it, it's just a pity that this good skin can really pinch out the water!" ”
After Zhao Congye finished speaking, he reached out and patted her cheek, this person's eyes were panicked, and a sharp sword flashed around his neck, and before the blood could flow out, he fell on the bed.
After a while, the wound on the woman's neck opened, and the red blood spilled from the thin wound on the slender neck, slowly staining the delicate bedding red.
Zhao Congye was still sitting on the bed, and the blood stained his silky lining, and the blood smeared inch by inch on his body. He stood up nonchalantly, shedding the white silky lining on his body, and the guard handed over a brocade cloth, which he picked up and wiped the blood from his body.
"Get out, all of you! I'll sleep a little longer! ”
"Fourth prince, don't you clean up here?"
"This blood still carries the temperature, what to pack?" After the four princes finished speaking, one turned sideways and lay on the tatami mat, and the guards shook their heads when they saw this, and gently covered the door and went out.
Seeing this, Zhao Laosan on the beam of the house was stunned, and the guards under his feet noticed him. Zhao Laosan knew that he had been discovered, and one crossed over and went to the roof.
This guard chased after him, Zhao Laosan just didn't want to startle the snake, he wanted to lure him away and leave Zuishenglou. Otherwise, if the rest of the guards found out and alarmed Zhao Congye, he would be completely exposed.
Landing by the river, Zhao Laosan was very familiar with this area, and he knew that at this time, there were the least people here. The guard looked at him, first frowning, and then glaring: "You...... Are you the second prince - Zhao Conghua? ”
"Do you recognize me?" Zhao Laosan's thin lips opened, cold, as if it was snowing all around.
"I used to be a guard in your mother's harem, but when your mother is gone, I was transferred to the side of the fourth prince, so I naturally recognize you!"
It's good that the guard didn't speak, as soon as these words came out, Zhao Laosan's hands were clenched into fists.
"Are you sent to the side of the Four Princes after my mother died, or have you always been the one by the side of the Four Princes?" Zhao Laosan turned around slowly, a pair of dark eyes were narrow and unfathomable, and before the other party could answer, he pulled out the saber on the other party's waist, turned sideways, and saw a knife flash and the person fell to the ground.
This technique is similar to the fourteen-year-old drunken girl who died under his hands. After Lisuo finished solving this person, Zhao Laosan wiped off a drop of blood from the knife, hid the knife back into the scabbard, and pushed the person into the river. If the water is any stronger, the person will rush straight to the neighboring country.
After dealing with this person, it was already noon. Zhao Laosan was worried about the little lady at home, so he had to go home quickly.
Along the way, I was thinking about how the four princes Zhao Congye could let go of his little lady. After all, he is in the shadows, and he can't tell it all. For the sake of the only remaining people in his mother's mother's family, and for the dozens of people who are still alive in Cong Huajun, he feels that he is too cowardly to be cowardly.
