Chapter 81: Ironclad Evidence
"Madame......" Ying'er wanted to step forward to help, but hesitated. Madame has seen her uncle, are you still willing to part?
Unexpectedly, Bai Yirong gently broke away from Lou Zhan's arms, walked in front of her, and couldn't hide the smile on the corner of her mouth: "I've been waiting for a long time, let's go into the hall and make incense." ”
The tone of his voice changed from the previous dullness to a much softer, as if he had rediscovered his soul.
Lou Zhan stood quietly in place, looking at the figures of several people and walking up, getting farther and farther.
After returning to the General's Mansion, Lou Zhan saw that the housekeeper was holding an envelope in his hand and said, "General, the little one just came in and found that there was more ...... on the table."
He handed the letter to Lou Zhan, who took it and read both the front and back, but there was no information about the person who wrote the letter. Curious, Lou Zhan opened the envelope, took out a piece of stationery and took a cursory look, but there was no final payment.
Lou Zhan sat down and read the contents of the letter from beginning to end - the other party asked to meet at the Absolute Pavilion today, and said that he had some information that might interest him.
After thinking for a while, Lou Zhan folded the letter paper into his cuffs.
The other party was able to enter the General's Mansion silently, presumably it also has its own merits, so let's wait a while.
Seeing that his master looked inexplicable, the housekeeper said uneasily: "General......"
"It's fine."
"Then the old slave will retire."
"Go ahead."
After the butler retreated, soon, the leader of the dark guard came in and said, "General, we have two brothers dead, I don't know who the master is......"
"It's okay, General Ben will go to meet them for a while today." Lou Zhan's face was serious.
"There is another matter, the spies came to report, and the commander of the imperial guard was ordered to leave the city today."
The commander of the imperial guard is a person in front of the emperor, and naturally obeys the emperor's orders, which can be described as loyal. Since it is out of the city gate, I want to come to do things for the emperor.
The emperor has been anxious about the disappearance of the eldest princess these days, and now the guards are leading the way out of the city to do business, perhaps things have progressed...... Hongying, who has been missing for more than four months, can she survive until now?
"It seems that there is a new movement in the remnants of the previous dynasty."
"So, do you need to keep an eye on them—the remnants of the former dynasty?"
"No need, you just keep an eye on the General's Mansion, and don't mix the rest, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
"Yes."
The leader of the Dark Guard quietly retreated.
The early spring breeze carries a chill that makes people both cold and warm. In the evening, the lights of the stunning building are on, and when they get closer, the air is full of the fragrance of fat powder, and they are lively and lively to welcome the guests.
Lou Zhan was still dressed in regular clothes, and his tall body had a great taste, so that the little guy who had to stand at the door to welcome guests looked up and down. The little girl's round eyes made Lou Zhan's appearance transparent-the people who were sent there every day had already trained a pair of eyes that were full of eyesight.
"This guest officer, please inside, all the girls here are stunning, if you don't believe it, go in and have a look, if you are not satisfied, the villain has nothing to say."
"I'm looking for someone."
The little guy tilted his head, scratched his ears and cheeks and thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Oh, that's right! A guest asked me to tell you that he was waiting for you in the room on the fourth floor by the stairs. ”
"Okay, I see, thanks."
"Guest, please."
On the big stage in the center of the lobby, seven or eight women are dancing, ornate and graceful, and their brightly coloured and eye-catching costumes are often particularly useful here.
Aren't all men looking for visual novelty, these girls can satisfy them - the stage is already full of seekers, whether standing or sitting.
As soon as Lou Zhan entered, he was driven by the flashy and warm atmosphere here.
There are guardrails around the stage to enclose the dancing girls. Outside there are seats in a circle, designed for those looking for beauty. And the people who were standing were all unseated—full of guests, night after night.
The music is very soft, like a delicate and weak woman, lying on the railing, gracefully dressed, delicate, and charming.
The guests were fascinated by the sound, and their faces showed a look of enjoyment, like a delicate woman massaging them with a pair of slender hands - this force is just right, and there is a beautiful sound from heaven on earth in the ears, and the floating fat powder fragrance, which makes people crisp their muscles and bones, and numb their hearts and livers.
Until I went up to the fourth floor, the soft music still seemed to ring in my ears.
Finding the room by the stairs, Lou Zhan tried to push open the door - it was lit inside, presumably the person who wrote the letter had already arrived.
The door closed behind him, and Lou Zhan scanned the room to find a masked man sitting at the table—judging by the figure, it should be a man.
When the masked man saw him looking this way, he got up, clasped his fists very politely and said, "General Jiuyanglou, please take a seat." ”
The room was dark, except for a candle lit on the table.
The candlelight shone on the masked man's body, forming a shadow behind him, which was stretched and reflected on the wall.
"Who is Your Excellency?" The other party did not mention his first name, which made Lou Zhan a little curious and a little vigilant.
"Hehe, General Lou doesn't need to know who I am, I invite you here today because I have an important matter, and I want to talk to you."
"Your Excellency knows me?"
The masked man didn't answer, but he smiled: "In the lower districts, the little people are not in the eyes of the general." ”
Lou Zhan sat down opposite, his vigilance still unabated.
"However, I am very familiar with some things about being a court master."
"Do you know your father-in-law?"
"I can't say that I know each other, but I'm just familiar with it—for example, the thing that the Taishi secretly did with the remnants of the previous dynasty three years ago."
"What is it?"
"At that time, the remnants of the former dynasty needed a large sum of money to train elite soldiers and build weapons—they had some account books in their hands, one of which recorded the amount of money contributed by the Taishi—" The masked man paused, leaned forward, and lowered his voice: "That's ironclad evidence of his rebellion." ”
Lou Zhan was unmoved, his face almost did not change, and he still stared at the other party's every move.
"General Lou is not interested?"
"Do you think General Ben is easy to fool and will believe your nonsense?"
"How so? All of this is true, and the evidence is with me. ”
"Really?" Lou Zhan seemed to be skeptical.
"Of course, but if the general wants to get it, he will have to pay some price."
"At what cost?"
"Not much, five thousand taels."
"Dreaming."
The masked man sat down and shook his head: "It seems that the general still doesn't believe it." ”
"Even if it's true, do you think General Ben will expose his father-in-law and send him to prison?"
"This ...... Hehe, if the general is unwilling, then he will send this ironclad evidence to the palace, let's see. The masked man laughed and added: "General, since you dare to ask you out, you have the ability to escape, if you want to kill Zaixia, then see whose fists and feet are powerful!" ”
Hairpins in the scheme
There is a sound in the hairpin
