Chapter 800: The Tip of the Iceberg
Yu Gong, Lu Huanbang has been in power and has controlled the government for many years, and he should be replaced by a new generation of officials who are interested in working for the benefit of the people to participate in politics; In private, Lu Huanbang has repeatedly put pressure on Cheng Haofeng and made him stumble, and he should use this case to bring him down.
In public and private, they should use the case of seizing Piaoman to deal with Lu Huanbang, but why did Cheng Haofeng come forward to suppress the case?
Hu Xianxian hurriedly returned to Xianyunguan, and Cheng Haofeng greeted her at the door of Yihexuan, smiling shallowly and calmly, indicating that he had been waiting for Hu Xianxian to question.
"How can you ......" Hu Xianxian just opened his lips and asked, his index finger pressed lightly on his lips, signaling not to ask.
Angry and slight, Hu Xianxian turned his head and wanted to bite him, but it was obvious that his index finger was very light on his lips, but he couldn't open his mouth!
Looking at Hu Xianxian like an angry kitten, shaking his head, waving his hands, wanting to bite and scratch, but he couldn't bite or scratch, Cheng Haofeng felt inexplicably happy and happy.
"Accompany me in a game of chess and tell you the detailed reasons." Cheng Haofeng whispered in his ear that he sensed that the blood was back without hatred, so he stopped teasing Hu Xianxian.
In Yihexuan's study, the chessboard was black and white, Hu Xianxian stared at Cheng Haofeng anxiously for a while, and then looked out the window, and soon after, she lost all the games.
"Did you deliberately lose quickly, and wanted to listen to me earlier?" Cheng Haofeng collects chess pieces in the chess box.
Hu Xianxian nodded, looking at him pitifully with begging eyes.
"If you don't want to play chess with me, then I won't tell you the reason directly, you have to find out by yourself."
What? It's been grinding for so long, and you have to check it yourself?
Looking at Cheng Haofeng's meaningful smile, Hu Xianxian gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Treacherous, insidious, and deceitful!" ”
Hu Xianxian was very dissatisfied, it was useless to be dissatisfied, Cheng Haofeng insisted on letting her check by herself. However, directions and clues are provided for checking.
The first step is to let Hu Xianxian find out who recommended Lu Huanbang to go to Moxiangfang, after all, he usually goes to the Jade Mansion a lot, and these officials are very cautious when they visit the Flower Building, and they usually don't change happy places randomly.
The sun on a summer afternoon was dizzy, Hu Xianxian walked out of the gate of Xianyunguan depressedly, racking his brains to figure out why Lu Huanbang didn't go to the Jade Mansion and went to Moxiangfang?
Whether it is the Jade Mansion or the Moxiangfang, this is not the place where the important ministers of the court should go, Lu Huanbang must go quietly for the sake of his reputation, and he must ensure that the girl who is good will not spread it out randomly, so that he can rest assured that he can boldly have fun.
It is suspicious to change places casually, but the DPRK and China have always turned a blind eye to these things, and it is nothing if they are discovered, but it is just a loss of reputation, maybe Lu Huanbang really just wants to change to a new place? How could Hu Xianxian guess the reason why a man went to this fireworks field and not that one?
When he arrived outside Moxiangfang, seeing those maids and servants busy and very calm, Hu Xianxian thought, maybe these people only think that this is a place to serve the master, and it doesn't matter what the master does for a living, right?
They are accustomed to seeing glitz and dirty, ignoring the blood and tears of forced laughter, and the masters only regard them as emotionless wood, so there is no need to hide many ugly things from them......
Thinking of this, Hu Xianxian walked to the secluded alley next to him, and in a blink of an eye, he was already a rickety old woman.
She trembled and walked to the back door of Moxiangfang and asked a dark middle-aged woman, "This sister-in-law, can you show me the way?" ”
"Is this the place for us to ask for directions? Come on! The middle-aged woman poured the toilet into the dung truck parked outside the back door, and impatiently threw Hu Xianxian away.
Hu Xianxian grinned toothlessly and said in a low voice, "I'm going to give the money for asking for directions, show me the way." ”
People who have been in the pickled place for a long time have strong eyesight, and the middle-aged woman saw that Hu Xianxian had something to inquire about, so she agreed with a "hmm" and glanced at the alley.
After a while, the middle-aged woman finished emptying the toilet and cleaned it up, went to the mouth of the alley under an elm tree, and waited for Hu Xianxian next to her to walk over.
Handing over a little broken silver, Hu Xianxian asked the middle-aged woman, on the day Lu Huanbang came to Moxiangfang, where were the carriages and horses arranged, which girls were arranged by the chief steward to see him, and whether there were any regular customers of Moxiangfang among the entourage who followed Lu Huanbang.
The middle-aged woman said that she didn't know that Lu Huanbang was coming that day, but a small servant in Lu Mansion suddenly came to inform the chief steward in the middle of the night, asking the chief steward to vacate the place to park the horses, and then sent someone to open the idle people at the back door, and told the chief steward to prepare a quiet hall, choose a few versatile and sensible girls to wait, and give the silver in advance to set these.
It wasn't until Lu Huanbang entered Moxiangfang that the chief steward knew that he was coming, and the servants below knew that Lu Huanbang had come to Moxiangfang after making a big fuss about Lu's mansion.
The middle-aged woman said that it was an old man in the workshop who arranged a place for Lu Huanbang to stop his carriages and horses.
After Hu Xianxian asked her to call the old man to come, she asked the old man if he had seen Lu Huanbang's entourage clearly, and whether there were any regular customers who had come to Moxiangfang among these entourage.
The old man told Hu Xianxian that the little guy who came first to deliver the subscription money had come, but he left after watching the song and dance.
In this way, Hu Xianxian asked about the appearance of the little guy again, and then gave the old man and the middle-aged woman a silver ingot each, and told them not to talk about it, and then went to the Lu Mansion.
According to what the old man said, there was a mole at the corner of the little guy's mouth, and he could speak well, and he was very trusted and liked by Lu Huanbang, so Hu Xianxian paid close attention to Lu Huanbang's entourage, and sure enough, he saw a little guy with a mole on the corner of his mouth.
In the evening, Lu Huanbang went to dinner, and Hu Xianxian saw that the little guy was walking to the courtyard where the next person lived, and he was also about to prepare for dinner, so he walked into a hut, closed the door, and popped out the aura to isolate the outside world.
The little guy couldn't see the invisible Hu Xianxian, the door suddenly closed automatically, and the room was a little darker, so frightened that the little guy hugged his head and screamed.
Seeing that he was afraid, Hu Xianxian did not hide anymore, but still showed the appearance of a rickety old woman, "You don't have to be afraid, as long as you answer the questions truthfully, I won't do anything to you." ”
The little guy nodded vigorously, "I must tell the truth, definitely, definitely!" Just ask Grandma Fairy to ask. ”
"Why do you think about leading Lu Huanbang to Moxiangfang? When you went there to watch the song and dance in advance, did you have the heart to lead him there? ”
"I just like to watch the singing and dancing of Moxiangfang, I didn't think about leading the master there, it was Aunt Gan who said in front of the master that Moxiangfang was good, and the master heard that I had been there, so he asked me to arrange it." The little guy didn't think much about it, and didn't have any extra expressions, and quickly replied that he should be telling the truth.
"Aunt Gan? Who is this? Hu Xianxian frowned.
The little maid told her that Aunt Gan was a concubine of Lu Huanbang's new name, and her name was Gan Ruju......
Gan Ruju? Isn't it Gan Rutao's sister, and later followed Aban to the woman in Hongbin Building? and Hu Xianxian can be regarded as an old enemy.
Hu Xianxian almost lost his temper and screamed, then gathered his look, and then asked the little guy if that Gan Ruju was from Lingzhou?
Xiaowu said that he didn't know Gan Ruju's background very well, and only admired that this Aunt Gan was never jealous, and she was very good at coaxing the old man to be happy, although the old man also liked other women, but he had to tell Aunt Gan about everything, and was willing to listen to her opinion.
After casually asking a few other innocuous things, Hu Xianxian retreated incognito and flew back to Xianyun Guan.
"You already knew that Gan Ruju was by Lu Huanbang's side?" There was anger in his heart, and his tone was very bad when he asked Cheng Haofeng.
Cheng Haofeng smiled "hee-hee", "How can you conclude that Aunt Gan in the Lu Mansion must be the Gan Ruju you know?" One is a drinking woman who follows the gangster Aban, and the other is the favorite concubine of the first assistant of the dynasty, with a huge disparity in status. ”
"Please, tell me what's going on? I had a bad attitude before, you don't remember the villain, don't worry about me. "I can only use the trick of coquettishness, Hu Xianxian said cheekily.
Cheng Haofeng turned his back, rubbed his nose, held back his laughter and turned around, and saw that Hu Xianxian winked at him with his mouth flattened, but he still didn't hold back, and laughed out loud.
smiled and took her into his arms, rubbed the top of her head, and sighed faintly, "You, always treat me as a bad person......"
Tired of being together for a while, the two sat down, Hu Xianxian looked at him apologetically, and wanted to explain that he was not treated as a bad person, but there were some things that were difficult to understand, but he shook his hand and said that there was no need to say it.
Cheng Haofeng told her that Hongbin Lou was doing very well, and the pendant gradually grasped the initiative in management, and Aban, who would only engage in some smoky miasma, annoyed everyone, and the pendant was capable and hard, so he drove away those drinking girls.
Most of the escort girls were driven away, and Gan Ruju was sent by A Ban to accompany Gao Youquan, as for why it was given to Gao Youquan, one is that when A Ban was mixed in the capital, he saw Gao Youquan who was with Orihun, and he was an acquaintance; Second, Gao Youquan has a special physique, and Ah Ban really has a little love for Gan Ruju......
"Special physique? How much love do you really have? Why can't I understand? Hu Xianxian really didn't understand this second reason.
Cheng Haofeng then remembered that Hu Xianxian didn't know that Gao Youquan had almost become a eunuch because of the poison, and poked her head with a dry smile, "In short, Ah Ban is willing to let Gan Ruju follow Gao Youquan, it's over, don't think about it." ”
Pulling away this matter, Cheng Haofeng continued to say that Gao Youquan raised Gan Ruju in a private courtyard in Taixing Mansion, claiming to be his distant cousin, who entered Beijing two months ago and dedicated it to Lu Huanbang.
Gao Youquan said that this distant cousin was separated many years ago and had been living in Fireworks Alley, so please ask Lu Huanbang to take her by her side and give her a place to stay, and she doesn't need to give any name.
Telling the past frankly like this made Lu Huanbang have a good impression, and because of Gao Youquan's identity as a "representative filial piety", he also raised Gan Ruju extraordinarily, held a few tables of banquets to invite people in the family, and officially took Gan Ruju as a concubine.
Gan Ruju used to be a singer in the Jade Building, and it was easy to find out if she didn't know what to say, and Gao Youquan didn't bother to hide it from Lu Huanbang, which was unexpectedly favored.
Gan Ruju said in front of Lu Huanbang that the women in the Jade Mansion are all vulgar fans, and the girls in Moxiangfang have their own charms, if you want to have fun, you have to go to Moxiangfang.
Although it was a joke, Lu Huanbang also wrote it down, but Lu Huanbang only thought that she didn't want to be jealous with her former sisters anymore, so as not to be embarrassed, so she recommended Moxiangfang.
Lu Huanbang felt that it was good to change his taste, so he longed for Piaoman and invited Piaoman to dance in the house.
Just ask Piaoman to dance in Lufu, there are these twists and turns, and it is clear that there is a game! Who is this bureau aimed at, and what interests are involved?
