Chapter 155: The Mind Eater and the False Judge (2)
Today's dynasty is the richest number of Jiangnan in the world, and the richest number of Suzhou and Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou not only occupies an extremely important position economically, but also dominates the party culturally, which is why Nie Shusheng is obviously only six high, but he is still only a showman, it is really the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou that is high and eight fighters abound, and the competition is fierce.

And with the prosperity of culture, there is an industry that will naturally follow, that is, Xianglou, or called Qinglou, Yalou, they are also considered brothels, but most of the women in it are selling their arts, not selling their bodies, only a little beauty and talent are inferior women only occasionally out of the boudoir.
And when it comes to talent, these Xianglou women are by no means lower than men, and even many of them are stronger than men in terms of the Four Books and Five Classics or the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but in a patriarchal society, there is no place for them to display their talents, no matter how they resist, the final result is to become a man's plaything, even the current Oiran Zheng Xiaowan of Xianglou.
Today is the day when Xiao Heyu, the son of Xiao Fu, the governor of Jiangnan, came to the door to ransom Zheng Xiaowan, it is said that the children of the eunuchs should not be so stupid and blatant, but Xiao Heyu dared to do this, because his father was Xiao Fu, the governor of Jiangnan.
What are troubled times?
In troubled times, the people are cheaper than dogs, and the officials are bigger than the sky.
A few days ago, if Xiao Heyu hadn't annoyed the sixth lady of the governor of Jiangnan, she was chased and killed all over the city, so she hid in the capital for refuge, I am afraid that Zheng Xiaowan would have been ransomed a long time ago, so why wait until today.
Today's Xianglou is also overcrowded, most of them come with the heart of watching the excitement, who called Zheng Xiaowan's heart is usually higher than the sky, and ordinary people don't see it at all, even if everyone loves her, but there is still some hatred in their hearts, they all want to see how the strong Zheng Xiaowan is deflated by the domineering Xiao Heyu.
In the anticipation of everyone, Xiao Heyu appeared as promised, he was dressed in a brocade robe and blue belt, his face was like a crown of jade, just from the appearance of the appearance, he could score ninety points, but those who are familiar with his character know that Xiao Heyu is an out-and-out scoundrel and a heinous villain.
"Mother Zheng, can Miss Xiaowan clean up?" Xiao Heyu came to a young woman with outstanding demeanor and asked lightly.
"Young Master Xiao, get ready, and you'll come down later." Zheng Shuyi was also a top-brand Oiran when she was young, and she was also forcibly put into the house by a son-in-law, but the son-in-law brother was in the middle of the family road more than ten years ago, and the son-in-law brother also died, in order to make ends meet, she had to use her connections and appearance to re-enter the Xianglou industry, with her reputation, it is also considered to have a place in this Hangzhou city.
It's just that this place is insignificant for Xiao Heyu, although he has no ability, he can also turn over and destroy the Xianglou, and the girls and maids in it are all taken away, and I believe that no one dares to say anything.
is so polite now, it is to give Zheng Xiaowan face, after all, she will be her own person in the future, if she is sad all day long, sighing, Xiao Heyu will not be happy.
Xiao Heyu sat upright gently, looking at his posture not like a scoundrel, but people can't look good, when Xiaowan girl went downstairs for a long time, Xiao Heyu felt that Zheng Xiaowan didn't seem to recognize his position after thinking about it for a while, so it was no wonder that he was mad.
"Mother Zheng, why hasn't Miss Xiaowan come down yet?" A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Heyu asked with a cold face.
"Xiao Gongzi wait, it's okay right away, it's okay right away, wait for me to urge, go urge." Mother Zheng hurriedly bent down and apologized, wiping the beads of sweat on her forehead from time to time.
"Damn, when I Xiao Heyu is a fool, toast and don't eat and drink, go, drag her down for me." Xiao Heyu's face was pale, and he threw the tea bowl in his hand to the ground, roaring, his expression hideous, and his fierce face was revealed.
"Yes." The four strong man servants rolled up their sleeves and stepped upstairs, and Zheng's mother had the intention to stop them, but they were directly pushed to the ground by the strong man.
"Since Miss Xiaowan is unwilling to leave with you, why should you be strong."
At this time, a voice in the crowd sounded suddenly.
"Who is it?" Xiao Heyu grimaced and looked in the direction of the voice, he wanted to see who was so unafraid of death.
Xiao Heyu's question, naturally no one admitted it, but those who didn't speak were not stupid, knowing that if Xiao Heyu didn't catch someone, all of them would suffer, so everyone had a tacit understanding and spread out to both sides, but Nie Shusheng was still stupid and didn't react.
Looking at Nie Shusheng, who was left alone in one place, Xiao Heyu, who had a gloomy face, suddenly laughed out loud and said: "It turned out to be a scholar, you came just in time, tonight I and Xiaowan have a candle in the cave room, can you watch from the side?" ”
Nie Shusheng was very afraid of Xiao Heyu, just now he just saw that Miss Xiaowan might be bullied, so he dared to shout, but for some reason, he was really afraid of Xiao Heyu at this time.
"You scoundrel, relying on your father to do evil, you will definitely suffer retribution in the future." Anyway, Nie Shusheng also let go, when he shouted that sentence, there was actually no turning back, with Xiao Heyu's mind, would he let himself go?
"Nie Shusheng, I see if you didn't wake up today, you two go over, let him wake up, see who the person in front of him is, don't let him offend people indiscriminately when he goes down." Xiao Heyu said lightly, just one sentence decided Nie Shusheng's life and death, in broad daylight, in front of everyone's eyes, it was really lawless.
Zheng's mother was also frightened, although compared with Xiao Heyu, she actually hated Nie Shusheng more in her heart, but at this time, he was the only one who could shout that sentence for Xiao Wan, it seems that Xiao Wan's vision is still good, although this Nie Shusheng is poor and timid, but he is still reliable at the critical moment.
"Don't come here, I'm a showman, and it's insulting and illegal to beat me." Nie Shusheng shouted as he retreated, and it was estimated that he was the only one who could shout out such insulting words at this time.
It's just that when the two fierce servants walked about three zhang away from Nie Shusheng, they suddenly stopped and didn't move, their expressions were still that vicious, as if they had been pointed at acupoints.
But the acupuncture points need to be close to each other, but the distance between the two servants and everyone just now is two or three zhang away, how can it be possible to point to their acupoints.
Could it be sorcery?
This is everyone's first thought, no one will guess that in the Taoist immortal arts, the immortals have not been effective at all over the years, and it is better to ask God and Buddha than to ask for demons and ghosts.
However, Nie Shusheng was surprised, knelt down and bowed: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”
Everyone looks at Nie Shusheng's actions, where do you not know, the person who helped Nie Shusheng is a senior, maybe he is still a master, and he is relieved when he thinks of Nie Shusheng's boldness before, there is such a great god behind his feelings, no wonder he is so bold and dares to go against Xiao Heyu.
When Xiao Heyu saw the appearance of the servant, he was not as frightened as his dog's legs, but his face was hideous and distorted, and others thought that his appearance was angry, but they didn't know that there was another reason.
"Let's go." Xiao Heyu shouted, and left without a sound, and the servants who went upstairs saw that their masters had left, so they naturally didn't continue to find trouble with Miss Xiaowan, and left with them.
When the onlookers saw Xiao Heyu leaving, they became bolder, and they approached Nie Shusheng one after another, and praised them for a while, but Nie Shusheng probed his brain, he was looking for the figure of his predecessor, but no matter how he looked for it, he couldn't find it.
"It's really strange, why can't you feel the ghost qi on him?" Xue Chen looked at Xiao Heyu's departing back and pondered.
Last night, he secretly visited the people who had been close to him pointed out by Nie Shusheng, and found that they were more or less entangled in ghosts, and then he followed the ghosts of these people, and involved some official eunuchs in Hangzhou, very strangely, most of those official eunuchs were entangled in ghosts, but Xiao Heyu's mansion could not feel ghosts.
When he tracked down Xiao Heyu, the sky was already bright, so he stopped the investigation and changed to daytime tracking, along the way, Xiao Heyu behaved completely no different from a normal person, which made Xue Chen feel that he was wrong, but when the immobilization technique was used, seeing Xiao Heyu's distorted face, Xue Chen knew that he was not wrong, but he didn't know what method Xiao Heyu used to cover up the ghost.
Since he has already scared the snake, Xue Chen doesn't have to hide, tonight he wants to see who this Xiao Heyu is!
