Chapter 118: Meeting in the Corridor
Jun Mo and Lang Ying told Si Chen several stories.
What intrigued Si Chen the most was the Oiran murder case in the old Xiu Seyuan thirty years ago.
"Legend has it that the word 'Mo Shang' is not the name of Mo Shang Gongzi, but the nickname given to him by the guest, which has the meaning of 'Mo Shang is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world'. Mo Shang Gongzi was killed at the age of twenty, when the case was investigated, it was determined to be an unsolved case, the cause of death is unknown, the murderer is unknown, the beautiful son of the dragon and the phoenix chick, just died in vain, the case was closed very hastily, it is a pity that such a beautiful woman with both talent and appearance. Shadow said regretfully.
Si Chen took a sip of rose dew and said nothing.
Seeing that she was not very interested, Lang Ying thought that she was not interested in this kind of bloody murder, so she suddenly lowered her voice and said mysteriously:
"Madam, in fact, there are still many rumors about Mo Shang Gongzi."
Si Chen raised his eyebrows and asked casually:
"What else?"
"The original Xiu Se Yuan was suddenly opened, Mo Shang Gongzi's origin is unknown, but he is very rich, he opened a men's hall alone, and he went to welcome guests as a quiver, about the purpose of Mo Shang Gongzi to open Xiu Se Yuan, people can't figure it out. A good young man, and he is not from a poor family, who would open a men's restaurant by himself and go to welcome guests by himself, but Mo Shanggongzi did it. Therefore, the slave guessed, first, Mo Shanggongzi's family background must be very good; Second, Mo Shanggongzi must have something wrong, not a physical problem, but also a mental problem, so he will give up on himself. ”
Si Chen glanced at him and said with a smile:
"Thirty years ago, do you know what happened?"
"Slaves also listen to people, slaves like to listen to stories the most, and Madame likes to listen to these, isn't it because she likes to listen to stories?" Shadow said with a smile.
Si Chen smiled.
At this moment, there was a sudden chaotic sound of footsteps outside the door, and it seemed that many people were running in the corridor.
Si Chen frowned and said unhappily, "What's the matter?" Why is it so noisy? ”
Jun Mo hurriedly stood up, walked to the door, opened the door, poked his head out and asked a few questions, then came back and smiled at Si Chen:
"Madame don't care, it's two newcomers who don't care and want to run, and they are being caught outside, and they can be held in a while."
When Si Chen heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, and secretly scolded Lou Yu in his heart for being a waste who couldn't support the wall in the mud, he had already given him the medicine and his skills had recovered, and the next thing was just to escape, how could he even run away to make such a big movement, and he was chased everywhere by the people in the men's hall, it was really embarrassing, just let him stay and be a rabbit master with Xue Chong, so as to save them from going out and embarrassing their ancestors and losing face to their ancestors.
Thinking so in his heart, he still gave Si Qi a look.
Si Qi understood and went out quietly.
After the chasing people ran over, the corridor gradually quieted down, and Si Chen suddenly asked Langying:
"How long have you been here?"
"Just two months old." Shadow replied.
Si Chen smiled.
After a while, Si Qi came in from outside and glanced at Si Chen. Si Chen knew that Lou Yu had been successfully sent out, and Xue Chong, who had not yet been unlocked by the medicine that suppressed Xuan Li, was detained by the people of Xiu Seyuan.
That is to say, in less than an hour, the soldiers of the Zhenbei Wangfu will break through Xiuseyuan.
I heard that there are many customers who come here today because there is a bidding for new goods today.
Si Chen smiled slightly, and was about to find an excuse to go back, but saw that instead of returning to the team, Si Qi walked up to her, leaned over, and whispered in her ear:
"Your Highness, King Rong is here."
Si Chen was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he understood that Shen Run definitely didn't come to look for her, probably he also heard the rumors, and came to secretly investigate the whereabouts of Lou Yu and Xue Chong, but it was a pity that he was a step late, if he was caught by the people of Zhenbei Wangfu later, and there was a misunderstanding, there would be a big joke.
Everyone knows that Emperor Longxi is the most disgusted with men, in Longxi Kingdom, the goodness of Longyang is expressly forbidden, thirty years ago, the new emperor who closed down Xiu Seyuan and ordered the ban on the trend of men's style was Shen Chong, who had just ascended the throne.
Thinking of this, Si Chen laughed.
Shadow looked at her smile and asked:
"What's wrong with ma'am?"
Si Chen glanced at him, did not shy away from it, and replied with a smile:
"My husband is here."
Langying was taken aback, his eyes widened, and he asked in surprise:
"Madame's husband...... Is it a good man? ”
"If he liked women, would I still come here?" Si Chen said with a smile.
Shadow immediately showed sympathy, and hurriedly withdrew the sympathy in his eyes.
Si Chen had already stood up and said with a smile:
"I have to go back, and if I am found, you will not survive."
After that, he turned around, glanced at the shadow that had become lonely, and pinched his face with a smile:
"I'll come back next time."
Fire Dance stepped forward and draped her cloak over her.
Jun Mo, Rong Ying, Su Yu and the three dancing girls sent her to the door of the box, knelt down, and said in unison:
"Congratulations, Madame."
Si Chen smiled, took out a handful of golden melon seeds from his arms and threw them on the ground, and said lightly:
"Yours."
Several people were overjoyed, kowtowed again, and said:
"Mrs. Xie."
Si Chen walked out of the private room, walked back along the way he came, and just took a few steps, Lang Ying caught up from behind and called:
"Ma'am."
"Didn't you say you didn't have to send it, and if you bumped into it like this, you can't tell it clearly."
"The slave took Mrs. out from another road, Mrs. rest assured, that road is our Xiu Seyuan's private road, the guests will not go, and they will never meet Mrs. Madame's husband. The lady just followed the slave, and the slave led the way for the lady. ”
Lang Ying said with a big smile, leading the way for Si Chen in front.
Si Chen's eyes flashed slightly, he took a step, and followed him with an indifferent expression.
Lang Ying took Si Chen to walk in the secluded corridor and walked for a short distance, and suddenly, Qin Xi came from the opposite side, followed by a white-clothed man with a golden mask, as clear as the moon, and graceful.
Si Chen glanced at him, naturally put aside his eyes, and walked forward with Langying.
When the two passed by, Shen Run felt familiar for a moment, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. What surprised him the most was that there would be female guests in Xiu Seyuan, who served as a man.
"How come there are women here?" He frowned and asked Qinxi, who was leading the way for him.
Qin Xi replied with a smile: "My lord, although this is a men's hall, occasionally, there will be one or two ladies who want to have fun. ”
Shen Run scoffed, thinking, there are still women who patronize the men's hall, whose woman is so shameless, is her man dead? Even if her man died, she couldn't cuckold her husband so shamelessly, there would be such a depravity in the dignified Long Xiguo, it was really a declining world, and it was simply morally degraded!
What Shen Run was thinking about, Si Chen naturally didn't know, and he didn't know that in Shen Run's mind, he had already thought of himself to death.
She followed Shadow to the end of the corridor, to a secluded locked box, Shadow unlocked it, walked into the dark box, came to a wall, and pushed it open.
The walls swirled, and the dim light shone in, and on the other side of the wall was a long hallway.
