Chapter 17: The Beginning is the End
A person's life and death are extremely insignificant to the vast world. Although the news of Wu Liang's death caused some small turmoil in the town, people inevitably discussed and expressed their opinions. But when night fell and the lanterns of Cuixiang Building were lit, people had already forgotten about it.
Yan Heyi followed behind Yichun, watching him shake the folding fan and walk into Cuixiang Building in a big way, and immediately a girl dressed up in flowers and branches greeted him and greeted him. Yan Heyi couldn't help frowning, she couldn't see that such a person was addicted to women and couldn't extricate herself, I was afraid that she would make a mistake in the future.
"Childe, you're here, please come inside!" The bustard greeted warmly, "I wonder if you have a girl you know?" Before Yan Heyi could speak, Yichun had already turned his head and said to the old bustard, "Is the red girl here?" We heard about her fame and came to visit the beautiful woman! ”
Hearing that they were here to find Yan Hong, the old bustard suddenly showed a look of embarrassment on his face, "This, I'm afraid it won't work today." There is already a guest in the Red Girl's house, and this guest has a lot of background, and I am afraid that I will not be able to shirk it for a while. The old bustard was deliberately embarrassed, Yan Heyi casually took out a few golden melon seeds from the money bag and threw them into her open palm, and the old bustard immediately smiled and said, "Xiaolan Xiaofeng, you accompany the two sons, I will go and invite Miss Yanhong!" ”
The old bustard went upstairs "on the feet", and Xiaolan Xiaofeng saw that Yan Heyi was generous, so she was interested in stammering, and put Yichun aside for a while. Yan Heyi looked at it coldly, instead of being annoyed, he was a little relaxed, eating fruit and pastries calmly, sighing secretly, it seems that this person has not reached the point of being hopeless.
Before he saw a male guest coming downstairs, the bustard led the red girl to come. Yan Heyi only glanced at it, and felt that this woman was a ** person, bewitching to the bone, as soon as she appeared, the men in the Cuixiang Building, except for him and Yichun, all fell on the spot.
"Childe is well!" The red girl bowed down, a gust of fragrant wind wafted in, Yan Heyi only felt that her heart was fluttering, her heart was ape, and she couldn't help herself. Yichun handed over a cup of fragrant tea, and a cool mint smell penetrated into his nostrils, and the pores around Yan Heyi's body shrank sharply, and the person was awake.
"The red girl is really beautiful, and people are overwhelmed." Such flattering words came out of Yan Heyi's mouth, and any girl would be happy. The red girl thanked her and turned sideways, "Childe, please upstairs!" Yan Heyi followed her upstairs, and Yichun followed closely behind. The old bustard hurriedly stopped him and said, "This son, since Miss Yanhong has already chosen that son, you might as well find another girl." Unexpectedly, Yichun pointed to Yan Heyi in front of him and said, "We have always been threesome, that's his little fetish!" ”
Although the old bustard was slightly surprised, it was nothing to think that the guests who came to this Cuixiang Building had all kinds of strange habits. She only whispered in Yichun's ear, "I have to take double the money." And he threw off the veil and left.
Lady Saffron is worthy of being the top brand of Cuixiang Building, her room is the largest among the girls, and the decoration is also the most elegant. The three of them sat down, and the red girl took out the phoenix-necked pipa and was about to play a song for them, but Yan Heyi interrupted her in confusion, "Girl, stay, we are here today because we have something to ask the girl." ”
I have seen guests who are impatient to undress and untie, and I have also seen guests who are extremely vulgar with their hands up and down, but this time I have something to ask for, and it is the first time that the red girl has encountered it. She lightly lifted her lips and said, "Childe, please speak!" ”
"Wu Liang, can you meet the red girl?" Rashly mentioning the deceased, Yan Heyi felt a little embarrassed. Sure enough, the red girl's face changed and said, "I naturally know, I don't know what the son wants to ask?" Seeing that he was secretive, Yichun simply said what he wanted to ask, "We want to know, who Wu Liang can have an enmity with, what he ate when he came last night, and why he left in a hurry!" ”
The red girl hung the pipa back on the shelf, turned around and said, "Although Wu Gongzi is my benefactor, I don't know who he has offended. As for what he ate, it was a table of high-quality wine and food called by Zhang Ji next to him. She thought about it again and said, "I remember, halfway through the food and drink, a little brother with a raw face came to Wu Gongzi and said that his house was running water, and Wu Gongzi left in a hurry. ”
Although he was not the little beggar that Yichun had guessed, he was probably hired to deliver the news. Yan Heyi asked, "That table of wine and food, can the red girl eat it?" The red girl nodded, "Naturally, I was waiting for Wu Gongzi to eat together." Yan Heyi asked again, "Is there anything wrong with that girl?" ”
The red girl smiled skillfully, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." Yan Heyi and Yichun glanced at each other, and the two of them had the same doubts in their hearts. The last thing Wu Liang ate before his death should be this table of first-class wine and food, if the problem appears on these meals, then the Yanhong girl who ate with him will also be poisoned, and now she has nothing unusual, could it be that they are wrong?
"Is there anything in this table that the red girl hasn't touched?" Yichun asked without giving up. The red girl blushed and said, "In the past few days, I have brought sunflower water, and the pot of wine is only drunk by Wu Gongzi alone." Yan Heyi's eyes lit up, it seems that the problem is here!
"Was that pot of wine also sent by Zhang Ji?" Yan Heyi asked. The red girl shook her head, "No, Wu Gongzi said that this wine was given to him by his aunt who married into the Li Mansion, and he specially used it to drink with me." ”
Unexpectedly, things came full circle and returned to the Li Mansion. Yichun asked, "Is there anything left of that pot of wine?" The girl said, "As soon as Wu Gongzi left, the wine and food were taken away, and even if there was any leftover, it had already been poured out." ”
At this point, everything you want to know and what you can know is already known. Yan Heyi didn't want to stay in this kind of place for a long time, put down a piece of silver, and left Cuixiang Building with Yichun.
At this moment, Li Chenghe was depressed in his heart, and called his friends to the tavern to borrow wine to drown his sorrows. A dark shadow slipped in through the corner door in the backyard, and immediately another dark shadow came up to meet him, and plunged into his arms, and a woman said in a coquettish voice, "Dead ghost, why are you here?" ”
The other one, naturally a man, said, "Today's incident is thanks to you for making such a fuss, which has made Yan Heyi and Zhong Huachi more suspicious." Even if that jade old man wants to protect the two of them, I'm afraid he won't be able to protect them! ”
The woman complained, "It's Jiao Hui's kid who keeps glancing at me, and I don't know what to do." The man said, "Now that this man is still in handy, you can bear with it for a while." When I get what I should take, I'll take you away and fly away, never to be separated again! ”
