Chapter 22: The Woman

Lin Xuan chuckled, he expected Jiang Banxia to say this, so he drank the tea in the cup unhurriedly.

"I have been practicing martial arts for more than 20 years, and I know at a glance whether it is a man or a woman."

"Oh, for the first time today, I've heard that you can tell a man and a woman just by looking at it." Jiang Banxia raised his eyes and said, "Mr. Lin really opened my eyes. ”

Lin Xuan was not annoyed, he put down the teacup in his hand, and stared at Jiang Banxia's hand holding the teacup and the part above the wrist: "A woman's bones are slender and short, and the angle at which her elbows naturally hang down is different from that of a man, so I naturally can't be mistaken." ”

"Lin Zongqi came to the lower officials to say these words, what do you mean?"

"Nothing else." Lin Xuan clasped his hands, and there was a smile in the corner of his eyes: "I'm just curious, why would a woman be mixed in the brocade guard." ”

Jiang Banxia sneered: "Do you understand now?" ”

"I still don't understand." Lin Yuan's tone was calm: "You don't have to be nervous, I won't tell others about this matter, I'm just curious about how you got into Jinyiwei?" ”

"The curiosity of adults is still appropriately restrained, and some things are better not to know." Jiang Banxia was silent.

Although Lin Cheng did not threaten her with this matter, she sounded the alarm in her heart.

Sooner or later, the identity of a woman will be exposed, and she does not dare to guarantee that her identity will be safe and sound after it is exposed, which is why Lu Cheng hopes that she will keep to herself instead of competing with the Jinyi guards and winning meritorious deeds.

But Jiang Banxia understands that what she wants is not the life of a husband and children after marriage, what she wants... Lots and lots of things.

Ever since she had seen the majestic palaces of the Forbidden City that day, she knew she would never be able to go back to the way things were.

Power, status, money, these are enough to make anyone bend their waist and go crazy for it.

She, too.

Therefore, Lin Cheng can't stay.

In addition to the bustling streets of Kyoto during the day, the famous places of interest beloved by literati and artists, there is also Kitasato at night.

Beili is the old name, but also some allusions, because the Tang Dynasty prostitutes live in the place called Pingkangli, and it is within the north gate of Chang'an City, so the place of Goolan brothel is collectively called Beili, after the Ming moved the capital, many literati still like to continue to use the ancient name.

Compared with the east and west courtyards of the Jiaofang Division, the brothels in the north are full of unique folk tastes, and the women lean on the red and green, standing by the door, on the porch and even on the street corner, waving fans and laughing.

Of course, the folk interest is far more than that, there are not only women but also men, and the dignitaries and nobles in Kyoto have unique tastes, and they like to molest male prostitutes the most.

Among them, the most famous one in the men's brothel is at the end of this north mile, and its name is very elegant, called Zizhuxuan.

Outsiders will think that it is a family library just by hearing the name, but in fact, it is not, there is an illusion of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep.

Today's Zizhu Xuan is as lively as in the past, and just the people who spend a lot of money to see Zhu Gongzi will squeeze the water at the door of Zizhu Xuan.

"Tsk, I didn't expect you to mix so well in Kyoto, and the people who ask to see your bamboo son are like carp crossing the river." Lin Cheng picked up the apple on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, and took a big bite.

"You're here just to tell me this?" Meng Zhuzhou tightened the fox fur he was wearing, and although it was spring, he still couldn't stand the cold.

"Something else." Lin Xuan put down the apple, and he looked at Meng Zhuzhou: "I really owe you at the beginning, and I promised to enter the ghost place of Jinyiwei." ”

"You do owe me." Meng Zhuzhou continued: "I made a bet..."

"Ahem, ahem." Lin Xuan hurriedly coughed twice to interrupt Meng Zhuzhou's words, and if he continued to speak, his face would not be able to hang up.

At the beginning, he Lin Cheng had been in the martial arts for more than ten years, just because he heard that Mr. Zhuzhou was a sword master, he didn't believe in that evil, and he had to fight with Meng Zhuzhou when he bumped into it.

blamed him for being too young, his head was tendoned, and he had to pester Meng Zhuzhou to learn.

As soon as he remembered that he had followed Meng Zhuzhou for more than a year and only sought defeat for Dugu, Lin Cheng wanted to go back to the past and knock himself to death.

Meng Zhuzhou was finally annoyed by him and couldn't bear it, so he made a gambling oath with him, if he lost, he would promise Meng Zhuzhou one thing, and if Meng Zhuzhou lost, he would tell the world that he Meng Zhuzhou was not a sword and a sword.

In the end, the ending is obvious... He lost, and he lost badly.

As a price, he wanted to help Meng Zhuzhou do something, who would have thought that Meng Zhuzhou would let him enter the Jinyi Guard?

That's a hard requirement, isn't it? But the manly man is full of words, he is stubborn and tries all kinds of ways to enter the brocade guard, and now I think about it, it is all a history of blood and tears!

"Don't interrupt." Lin Cheng lowered his voice: "What I'm going to say is that Jinyi Wei is really fucking weird!" I met a woman in it today! ”

Lin Cheng said that the mystery was mysterious, and he was afraid that he would be heard by irrelevant people next to him: "She is still a powerful woman!" ”

"Oh?" Meng Zhuzhou's expression was indifferent: "Let's hear it." ”

"I knew you would be interested." Lin Cheng leaned back on the chair with a big grin: "Since I entered the Jinyi Guard, hey, I really pretend to be tired every day, I took an errand to Jiangning a few days ago, and when I came back, I was stopped by Han Que's old boy and said to let me bring a new person." ”

Lin Cheng leaned forward, and he said in an exaggerated tone: "Good guy, this is the first time I have been caught by my boss, and I am actually quite happy to receive this kind of chores with newcomers." ”

"At that time, Han Que's old boy brought people in, and I was fried, where did I leave it to bring the children I got here? In order to make Han Que die, I proposed to try the other party's level, huh! Boy! Lin Cheng stood up excitedly: "Although she has never practiced martial arts, her strength and understanding are really amazing!" ”

"I just stepped forward and grabbed my arm by mistake..."Speaking of this, Lin Cheng also gestured: "At that time, when I pinched it, I felt that the feeling was not right, and the bones were too slender... It's not like a man's bones. ”

"And then?" Meng Zhuzhou tapped the desktop with his hand.

"Then I'll treat her to tea." Lin Xuan had an embarrassed smile on her face: "But she doesn't seem to like me very much." ”

"What's her name?" Meng Zhuzhou asked, he did become interested in this woman who mixed in with Jinyiwei, to be precise, a curiosity interest.

"Oh, Han Que said that her name is Jiang Xia, I am looking for my real name and it should not be called this." Lin Cheng regretted: "I just admired her, I didn't think I would be hated." ”

Jiangxia? This name went through in Meng Zhuzhou's heart, and she was one of her colleagues who gathered with Cao Lang in the teaching workshop that day.

Meng Zhuzhou rubbed the wrench in his hand, and he looked at Lin Cheng thoughtfully: "Are you sure it's Jiang Xia?" ”

"That's right, I'm not old, and I don't have any problems with my ears." Lin Xuan opened his mouth and said: "Some time ago, Cao Lang in the murder case of the Kyoto Jiaofang Division was her on the peak, and she is absolutely not mistaken. ”

Meng Zhuzhou confirmed in his heart that the person Lin Yuan was talking about was the person he wanted to investigate.

Jiang Xia is a woman, and this news can be regarded as an unexpected joy, which is not in Ling Cha's news.

"You have to be careful with this person." Meng Zhuzhou said.

"Huh?" Lin Cheng was very puzzled: "No matter how powerful she is, isn't she just a woman, why be careful of her?" ”

"That's all I have to say, I just want to remind you." Meng Zhuzhou closed his eyes lightly, his face was slightly tired, and he called: "Ling, send off." ”

A person immediately jumped down from the beam, and fell silently behind Lin Xuan like a shadow, making a gesture of please.

"If you drive people away without saying a word, can't I leave!" He scolded and scolded Zizhuxuan: "What kind of person! ”

Lin Xuan wanted to scold a few more words, but his back suddenly felt cold, and the knife in Ling's hand was already against his back, so he had to shut up and leave.
