Seeing this, Zhan Peng took two steps, and as soon as he chased to the door of the brothel "Spring Manyuan", several prostitutes surrounded him, one of whom knew Zhan Peng, and said: "Ouch, isn't this Zhan Renxia?!" It's a great pleasure to be there. Come in, come in. With that, he pulled Zhanpeng into the Spring Garden.

Wang Xi and the others wanted to follow in, but the doorman of the brothel stopped them and said, "Hey, hey! It's a spring garden here! Do you have that much money? Go, go, go to a regular brothel! ”

Wang Xi explained: "We went in to catch the thief. ”

The doorman said impatiently: "Those who come to us are all dignitaries, where are the thieves!" Do you have a search token? ”

"Our Zhan Master has just entered."

"He has money, he can go to the Spring Garden to play, you don't have money, just go somewhere else to play!"

Wang Xi and the others had no choice but to stand outside the Spring Manyuan Garden and wait for Zhanpeng.

After Zhan Xue finished her official business, she went home and passed by the vicinity of Chunmanyuan, and saw Wang Xi and others standing at the gate of Chunmanyuan from a distance, she was very angry, so she walked quickly to Wang Xi and scolded her: "Wang Xi, and the two of you, what are you doing standing here?!" Didn't you know this is a brothel! ”

Wang Xi hurriedly smiled and said, "Zhan Zhutou, you misunderstood!" We came with Lord Zhan, he went in, and we waited here. ”

Zhan Xue became even more angry when she heard this, and said angrily: "What?!" My brother dares to go to prostitution! I'm going to get him out! As he spoke, he was about to enter the Spring Garden.

Wang Xi hurriedly stopped Zhan Xue and explained: "Zhan Zhutou, you misunderstood again!" Lord Zhan went in to catch the leaf shadow. ”

"What's going on?"

Wang Xi briefly recounted what happened, and after listening to it, Zhan Xue said, "Then what are you waiting for here?" Let's go in and arrest someone. ”

"We need a search token to go in, and the exhibition master can disguise himself as a guest and enter and exit the Spring Garden freely. Besides, isn't it just a little thief? Do you need so many of us to catch it together? Zhan Daren's martial arts are strong, and catching a little thief is not like an eagle catching a chicken? Zhan Zhutou, are you still worried about your brother? You're tired from the day, so go home early and rest. ”

Zhan Xue nodded and said, "Yes, catch a little thief, you don't need me to go out in person, then I'll go home." Tell my brother that you must not be merciful to the prostitutes who harbor criminals! ”

"Okay, I'll tell you."

Besides, Zhan Peng, when he came to the hall of the Spring Garden, when he was looking around, the old bustard greeted him and said with a smile on his face: "Zhan Renxia is here, it is really a brilliant wall......

Zhan Peng did not answer, and continued to search for the suspicious person, and suddenly, he saw that the person entered a room on the second floor, and there was a sign hanging outside the room, which read "Su Ruru". Zhan Peng set off to walk to the second floor, but was stopped by the old bustard.

The old bustard said with a smiling face: "Zhan Renxia, please stay, you can't go up to the second floor casually!" If you have a crush on a young lady, let her take you upstairs. (Note: In the Great Song Dynasty, prostitutes were called "young ladies.") ）

"I want to go to Su Ruru."

"Zhan Renxia is really a good eye! Su Ruru is our number one brand here! However, Ruru already has guests today, so she can't serve Zhan Renxia, so Zhan Renxia might as well change to a young lady, right? ”

"I'm just going to take a look."

The old bustard whispered: "Does Zhan Renxia have a penchant for voyeurism?" However, our guests are all heads and faces, and if they are discovered, we cannot afford to be guilty. ”

"I've got a business trip!"

"Then you have to have a search token from Dali Temple."

Zhanpeng had no choice, he could only walk out of the Spring Garden disappointed. Wang Xi saw Zhan Peng walking out, hurriedly greeted him, and said, "Lord Zhan, I have just asked my sister Zhan to catch her head. ”

"Oh? Doesn't she have another case? What are you doing here? ”

Wang Xi then briefly recounted what happened.

"Got it." Zhan Peng replied, and then he told Wang Xi and the others about what happened in Chunmanyuan.

After listening to this, Wang Xi asked, "Lord Zhan, should we go and apply for a search token immediately?" ”

"No, I can't. First of all, I'm not sure that the suspicious person is the habitual thief Ye Ying; Second, by the time we get the token and search again, the person may have gone into hiding. If you can't catch someone, it will damage the image of Dali Temple. The situation of Chunmanyuan is special, and there is no conclusive evidence, so it cannot be raided rashly. A few of you, work hard tonight, keep an eye on the front and back doors of Chunmanyuan all night, and don't let Ye Ying escape. I have other plans for the capture of Ye Ying, so I'll go back and discuss with Lord Yu now. ”

Zhan Peng returned to Dali Temple, reported the situation to Lord Yu in detail, and proposed a plan to capture Ye Ying. After hearing this, Lord Yu nodded again and again, and asked him to follow this plan.

Out of Dali Temple, Zhan Peng rushed to Zhan Mansion in a hurry. At this time, the night was dark, Zhuang Siyue was still waiting for Zhanpeng, seeing that he was back, Zhuang Siyue hurriedly came over to change Zhanpeng's clothes, and asked softly: "Why are the officials so late today?" ”

Zhan Peng replied affectionately: "It's not for the case of habitual theft of Ye Ying. The lady is pregnant, so it's better to rest early, so you don't have to wait for me in the future. ”

Zhuang Siyue still said in a gentle voice: "You don't have to wait for the officials, the officials can play longer and be happier in the brothel, right?" ”

Zhan Peng had an aggrieved expression on his face and asked rhetorically, "Lady, where did you start with this?" ”

"Who doesn't know that since ancient times, the merry literati and the famous prostitutes in Qinglou have had a close relationship, and they cherish each other and appreciate each other. Scholars are sentimental, but most of the original partners are educated by their mothers to be dignified and steady, and they can't satisfy their sentimental mentality. The famous prostitute has received all kinds of training since he was a child, knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, can recite poems and lyrics with scholars, and can make lust put on the coat of love, so many scholars go to Qinglou to pursue confidants. ”

After Zhuang Siyue finished talking, Zhan Peng asked in confusion: "Why does the lady want to talk about this?" ”

Zhuang Siyue replied to the question: "Although you Zhanrenxia is not a literati, you are strong in martial arts and righteous in the sky, I heard that the woman in the Qinglou admires you very much." ”

"I Zhanpeng only has a lady in my heart."

"Humph! I remember that on the third day after getting married, in this room, you promised me that you would never go to the Qinglou, have you forgotten? ”

"The lady has a really good memory, she even remembers what I said one day!"

Zhuang Siyue raised her voice and said, "Yes, the most important thing is that you Zhan Renxia should not forget your promise!" Say, why are you going to a brothel?! ”

"How could I go to a brothel?"

Zhuang Siyue shouted and asked, "Zhan Renxia, where did the smell of fat powder on your clothes come from?!" ”
