Chapter 5 Chapter 113 Rockery
When Zhang Chen came to the second floor, the woman who was holding on the windowsill on the second floor had disappeared, and outside the last private room on the other side of the second floor, a group of fierce men with strong and strong bodies had already pushed the door open and strode in.
Zhang Chen didn't dare to release his mental power, once he was captured, it would be equivalent to his identity being exposed.
However, after getting out of the eyes of the tea shop owner on the second floor, Zhang Chen quickened his pace and walked towards the last private room.
"It's strange why those bandits didn't move after entering the private room, isn't that woman a firefly?" Although Zhang Chen was obese, he did not affect his movement at all, and quickly arrived at the door of the private room. Hearing is several times more than normal, but there is no movement in the room.
Zhang Chen raised his finger and tapped lightly on the door twice
"Come in." A sentence of English Mandarin came out of the room.
Zhang Chen pushed open the door, and it was still the beautiful woman with blond hair and blue eyes from before, the big wavy golden curls slid down her shoulders from between her earlobes, and the two pairs of blue eyes looked at Zhang Chen. And the big men who entered the room disappeared without a trace one by one, and Zhang Chen couldn't feel his breath.
"Ah, you're not Xiao Er, what are you doing in my room?" The blonde beauty was very surprised by Zhang Chen's appearance, and looked panicked.
"Oh, I just saw some outlaws trying to enter your room, so I'll come over and see if anything happened." Zhang Chen said very calmly, and at the same time concluded that this woman was definitely not an insect firefly. As for who it is, I don't know.
"If there is any outlaw, I think you are one. Don't hurry up yet, you dare to come in a step. I'll contact my husband right away." The blonde woman plays the role of a frightened woman vividly.
Zhang Chen's original intention was to protect the insect firefly, but since this was not the case, he simply left the second floor directly.
However, at the moment when Zhang Chen left, the blonde woman's index finger was connected to an extremely slender black hair that stretched all the way to the closed window, and her white right hand moved, pulling the black hair to drag the connected object outside the window in.
A black hair was strung with four big men, piercing into the Dai from the left and right ears. And this last private room happened to be an uninhabited alley outside the window, and no one saw this extremely terrifying scene.
"Boss Zhao. Are you well? How's it going upstairs?" The boss first pretended to care about Zhang Chen, but in fact he was inquiring about the situation upstairs.
"It's nothing, dare to ask Xiao Er to serve food to the foreign lady."
When Zhang Chen came to the first floor, the man with the scar had disappeared. Only the boy still sat in the corner and kept his previous appearance, and his head was never raised once.
Zhang Chen heard the sound of a pair of neat footsteps in the distance and knew that it was an official errand who was about to arrive, handed over the tea money and quickly left here.
"I didn't expect this to be the beginning, and everyone's movements are so big. In the teahouse, I have four men and two women, and there are two women and two men, I hope everyone arrives safely, and now try to get information in front of the Wangren Tower. If it doesn't work, go home first, recharge your energy and prepare for tomorrow."
The old town is bustling at the extreme. I'm afraid it's all because of this lookout building, and there is not a single passer-by on this street who is not a person without background or wealth.
Zhang Chen didn't dare to get too close to the Wangren Building, for fear that something unexpected would happen.
Roughly walk around in a position of two hundred meters. Find this good place for you to 'commit crimes'. After walking around the center of the old city for a while for two to three hundred meters, Zhang Chen noticed an extremely interesting place, this shop looks a little smaller than the two sides of it, but there seems to be a hole in its interior, and the most important thing is the name of this shop.
A large flat marble plaque is used as a plaque, and two large characters in cursive script are delicately carved on it - "Stone House"
The curtain is made of black black with mercerized biotite flake stone porcelain. There's a sense of something unique. Zhang Chen has a hunch that this 'stone house' is not as simple as it seems. It was still early, so he opened the curtain with his hand wave and walked in.
"Hello officer." When he entered the door, a beautiful woman in simple clothes bent her knees slightly in front of Zhang Chen.
"Has this Boss Zhao never been here? A silk monopolist like him should be relatively famous in Dujiang City." Zhang Chen felt a little strange.
"The guest officer should have come to the house for the first time, but seeing that the guest officer was dressed extraordinarily, and the dragon elephant must be a dignitary. Let the little girl take the guest officer to the upper class room to rest first."
This woman's eloquence is extremely extraordinary, if it were ordinary people, they would definitely be instigated by the charm between these words, but Zhang Chen was naturally unmoved, and at the same time, after entering this 'stone house', he felt that there was a ghost aura wafting out of the backyard. I simply nodded and listened to the woman's arrangement.
"Guest, please come with me." The woman actually pulled Zhang Chen's arm directly into Zhang Chen's arm and walked towards the back of the hall, that is, the backyard with ghost energy.
At first, Zhang Chen saw the woman dressed like this, coupled with the flickering light in this 'stone house' and the small private rooms with closed stone doors on both sides of the hall, and thought that this was a business model similar to that of a green building. But after a stone door in the hall opened, and a thin man with blank eyes walked out, Zhang Chen naturally knew what he was doing here.
"A gathering place for addicts? Yes, in 1834, at this time, a large amount of foreign opium flowed inland. I can't imagine that such a place is openly open, and there is no official official to control it, so there must be a powerful person at the head of this shop."
Zhang Chen's guidance from the woman beside him. [,! ] down, towards the backyard.
A quaint promenade in the backyard divides into four when it reaches a four-meter-high rockery, each leading to a chic high-end private room, two of which have wisps of white smoke escaping from the window. The source of the ghost energy in the backyard comes from the four-meter-high rockery standing in the center of the backyard.
"Guest officer, these two rooms of Qinglong and Vermilion Bird have been chartered by other bosses, and there are still Xuanwu and White Tiger rooms left, I don't know which one the guest officer prefers?"
"Then the Xuanwu Room." Zhang Chen just made a choice at random, after all, this is a place for smoking opium, plus this special private room in the backyard, presumably the secrecy of this shop will be done very well, and it is exactly as Zhang Chen intended.
"I don't know where this rockery comes from." When Zhang Chen walked to the fork in the road, he pointed to the rockery in front of him and asked.
"This rockery is the treasure of the store, which can attract dignitaries like you, and can also make the store operate in a stable and stable manner. As for the origin, the little woman doesn't know very well, only our boss knows."
After the woman finished explaining, she took Zhang Chen and walked towards the Xuanwu room in the north. The private room resembles a hermetically sealed hexagonal pavilion, with a string of biotite stones and a heavy marble door that is opened by a copper key in the woman's hand.
"Please be seated, officer. We ...... here" Before the woman's words were finished, the heavy stone door behind her instantly closed and locked itself, this series of changes made the maid so frightened that she ignored Zhang Chen in front of her, picked up the key in her hand and hurriedly inserted it into the keyhole of the stone door.
"What's the matter, didn't the boss say that as long as you take a fresh bunch of sage and put it on your body every day, you'll be fine?" The woman was unable to open the stone door for a long time, and her previous composure had completely disappeared, replaced by a grinning fear in her eyes.
"Is it really uneasy and kind? Come here."
As soon as Zhang Chen's mind moved, the woman's fluctuating fear instantly subsided, and she turned around and walked in front of Zhang Chen with her eyes scattered. Zhang Chen stretched out his right hand and pointed it on the woman's forehead, mobilizing the flesh and blood in the other party's body to probe for any annoying things similar to contract worms.
However, after examining the woman's whole body once and finding no abnormality, Zhang Chen was also relieved, and began to ask: "What ulterior secrets do you have here?"
"We use the ghosts in the rockery to lure the dignitaries who enter my store, and my task is to let you rich people come to the backyard to be brainwashed by ghosts."
"Why are you all right?"
"On our first day on the job, our boss told us that we had to put a bunch of fresh sage on our bodies every day to avoid the ghosts seducing us."
"What is the origin and function of this rockery?"
"I don't know, this rockery was here on the day I joined the company. All I knew was that the ghost was a girl under the age of ten. Once, when I saw a ghost 'brainwashing' someone else, the woman became nervous as she ....... say. Zhang Chen had to avoid the topic, if he strengthened the control, he was afraid that it would exceed the load on the woman's brain.
"Oh? Someone's coming."
In the corridor, a beautiful woman with heavy makeup walked towards the Xuanwu room where Zhang Chen was with two big men in shape.
"What's going on? Does this girl Xinyue dare to break the rules, and she hasn't come out for such a long time." When the beautiful woman walked to the door of the Xuanwu room with a dissatisfied expression, the marble door was just opened.
"Hostess, it's the first time the guest officer has come, and it took a lot of time. This is the guest officer's order, and I'll go and prepare." The woman who was controlled by Zhang Chen dispelled the doubts of the proprietress as soon as she said it, and after squeezing out a smiling face on her fat face and looking at Zhang Chen, she quickly left with her subordinates.
"If you recklessly control this proprietress again, I'm afraid it will cause more trouble, so it's better to try the mystery of this rockery in person. And the people who can smoke opium here must be some people of prominent status, who may be able to dig up the information of the Wangren Tower."
After a while, the woman brought a plate of equipment needed to smoke opium into Zhang Chen's room. Suddenly, the silent room began to emit a trace of purple gas from under the wall, towards Zhang Chen's location.
"Whoosh!" Zhang Chen's mind moved, and the bunch of sage on the maid's body was held in Zhang Chen's hand, and at the same time, the purple aura in the room changed its target and gathered towards the maid's location...... (To be continued)
