Chapter 13: Jinling Anomaly
In April, all things in Jinling revive the warbler and the grass grows, the plum blossoms are defeated, but the peach blossoms and pear blossoms compete to open and compete for color, the pink and white petals are just like the beautiful girl of the twenty-eight years, shy and moving.
Not far away, the singing and dancing in the flower building are leveling, the laughter of the dancing girl and the courtesan and the laughter of the guests echo each other, and the hawkers' shouting and laughing and scolding are heard downstairs, and the shy and lovely Jinling has added a piece of fireworks to the world.
Qi Yu put away the jade bone fan, took the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, with a smile on his face: "This Jinling is really beautiful, even the peach blossoms are redder than other places, and when I get old, I really want to buy a house here to eat and wait for death." ”
"Lord Wang, can you pursue it a little? What is mixed and waits for death to be recuperated. ”
"You and I have been with me for so many years and I don't know, my ambition has always been to be an idle prince, go to the morning court in the morning, and when I come back, I will go to the brothel of the Qinglou to meet my lover, and one day when I am in a good mood, I will take two guards to the street to flirt with the women of good families, what a happy day."
Fourteen rolled his eyes higher and higher: "If you don't join the army and really don't contribute to the society at all, don't think about that kind of day, in the next life." ”
Qi Yu pursed his lips: "I don't deny this." ”
Fourteen saw that he looked indifferent and angry: "The dignified hussar general, the ninth prince today, can you think of something in your mind to protect your family and defend the country this day." Think about the country and the people, what do you want to raise and flirt with women from good families! ”
Qi Yu waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I'm wrong, okay, it's annoying." ”
After speaking, Qi Yu poured another glass of wine, and after drinking, he said: "Drunk and lying on the battlefield, don't smile, a few people from the ancient war will come back." Let's go to war, which time is not Longtan Tiger's Den, nine deaths, who knows if I can live to get old, what do I want to do so much. ”
When Fourteen saw him say this, he was speechless.
After a while, Qi Yu looked at the beautiful scenery downstairs and suddenly said: "You said that Jinling is a paradise on earth during the day, what is Jinling at night?" It doesn't make much of a difference. ”
Fourteen took a sip of tea: "Maybe it's purgatory." ”
Qi Yu stretched: "If it's really purgatory, I'm still a little curious about what the devil looks like." ”
"The face is not much different, but the heart is much darker than ours." Fourteen squinted his eyes and looked at the prefect's mansion in the distance.
Qi Yu no longer took the stubble, shook the jade bone fan and closed his eyes: "People, don't touch the things that shouldn't be touched, come to this drunken wind building to taste peach blossom wine during the day, and go to the Spring Breeze Pavilion at night to meet lovers, isn't this kind of life easy?"
"The human heart is the hardest to guess." Fourteen rounds.
Qi Yu didn't speak,
After being silent for a long time, Fourteen opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Wang, do you hope, is it true or false?" ”
"I naturally hope that this prosperity is real, and the victims are fake. But the truth is not something we can tell. ”
"Does the prince believe his words?"
"If I don't believe me, I won't come." Qi Yu touched the tiger's mouth on his right hand, and remembered the way the man clasped his palm and begged him for help that night.
"Lord Wang?" Seeing that he was stunned, Fourteen stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
"Let's go!" Qi Yu came back from his memories and got up and walked out of the restaurant.
"Where are you going?" Fourteen asked, following him.
"If you want to investigate the case, you need to go to the most well-informed place." Qi Yu hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled at the Fourteen Evils, pointing his finger to the east: "There!" ”
Fourteen looked at his fingertips, and there were a few black lines hanging on his head in an instant......
It's night, in the Spring Breeze Pavilion:
Fourteen looked at Qi Yu, who was hugging and drinking flower wine on the other side, and glared at him helplessly: "It's been three days, and I'm soaking in this flower building every day, young master, can you do something serious." ”
Qi Yu didn't care, bit down the grapes handed to his mouth, and kissed the green-clothed girl next to him, and after seeing that Fourteen eyes were even more helpless, he had to give the girl a silver ingot and send the two out.
After seeing the two of them leaving, he said, "Why didn't you do your job, don't worry, wait." ”
"What the hell are you waiting for? Can we go to the prefect's house and take a look? In this is a waste of time! ”
"Didn't you notice anything strange?" Qi Yu peeled an orange by himself and said while eating.
"What?"
"When we first came, we asked the girl about the victims, but as soon as they heard the word victims, their faces immediately changed, and they were even more frightened than a random passer-by on the street, and then they began to change the topic, and they couldn't avoid blocking us with the sentence 'It's been solved a long time ago'.
And when I was in bed with the girls, I tried to ask them, but they still wouldn't say. What do you say this Qinglou girl is for, isn't it just wealth? Now that I have given her money, it is impossible for a third person to know that this money is so easy to make, but they still don't dare, there must be something wrong. ”
Fourteen was surprised: "Huh? Are you sure? ”
Then Fourteen seemed to suddenly think of something and pointed at Qi Yu and said, "Oh~ I can see it, you are lying to me again, you just want to play with the girl in this flower building." ”
Qi Yu rolled his eyes.
Fourteen then said: "Young master, if you like it, I won't care about you every day after it's over, but there is really not much time left for us now, and those eight hundred lives are gone, and we really shouldn't waste time here." ”
Qi Yu looked at the fourteen straight condemning eyes, sighed and said, "What did I lie to you, when did I lie to you?" ”
After that, seeing Fourteen's squinted eyes, he thought that he had indeed deceived Fourteen many times because of visiting the Qinglou, so he touched his nose and pretended not to understand his eyes: "Fourteen, you are good at everything, your martial arts are good, your looks are good, but you can't do it with this brain." ”
Qi Yu rolled his eyes when he saw Fourteen and said, "Let me ask you, how much disaster relief money has been allocated by the imperial court." ”
"Two hundred thousand taels."
"Where?"
"How do I know?" As soon as Fourteen finished speaking, he had a flash of inspiration: "Will it be swallowed by the prefect?" ”
"You must have done it to the prefect." Qi Yu rolled his eyes helplessly, "How much silver do you think it will cost to build this Spring Breeze Pavilion?" ”
Fourteen looked at the three-story Spring Breeze Pavilion: "Why do you have to ask for tens of thousands of taels of silver." Fourteen suddenly reacted: "This can't be covered by disaster relief funds." ”
"I don't know, but in the entire Jinling City, except for this Chunfeng Pavilion, there have been no new large-scale restaurants and facilities in the past six months.
Judging from the scale, location, and girl's appearance, this Spring Breeze Pavilion will definitely not be built in a few years, but as far as I know, it only took five months from the beginning of construction to the opening of the door. ”
Qi Yu raised his left hand as he spoke, stretched out five fingers and waved in front of Fourteen: "You said that there are no ghosts here, I don't believe it, so when there are no clues at all, it is most reliable to investigate the case here." ”
"Then the prince, you are here these days to investigate the case?" Fourteen raised his eyebrows and was skeptical.
Qi Yu touched his nose weakly, and said with a dry smile: "Naturally, naturally." ”
