Chapter 184: Interrogating the Bustard
"Nonsense......" King Chen shook his head and smiled.
Of course it's nonsense, there are more things she likes in her life. Watching beautiful people is just like enjoying beautiful scenery, but it's just one of them.
The prince would be so kind, really just to send a beauty to King Chen? There must be some cats in this.
From yesterday to today, King Chen seems to be intent on promoting the prince's cat. It's just that what the prince's plans are is unknown. Since this Qingluo girl is from the beautiful residence, it is still necessary to visit the beautiful residence.
Rong Yunxi suspects that Miss Qingluo is not a dancer in the beautiful house, but may be the prince's secret warrior. deliberately took this opportunity to send to King Chen's side, and since then he has been doing fine work in King Chen's mansion.
On the way, he whispered this suspicion to King Chen, but King Chen said, "It doesn't look like it." Qingluo girl is indeed a soft and glutinous Jiangnan accent, if outsiders want to learn, if they talk too much, there will always be flaws. Today, after the feast, the king followed you and listened carefully to her voice, and every word was very authentic, and there was no Beijing accent at all. β
"Maybe she's from Jiangnan." Rong Yun Xi Road.
"This is possible", King Chen said, "If she is a native of Jiangnan, then it must be a pawn arranged by the Zhenguo Mansion to let her collect intelligence here." It just so happened that the king came, so he asked the prince to find an opportunity to give it to the king. It's just that...... It is not easy to arrange such a chess piece, and how much time will it take to cultivate such an oiran again? Now is an eventful time, and the Zhenguo Mansion may not be willing to give up. β
"After all, there are many opportunities to send beauties to this king, but it is rare for such a secret warrior to collect information about Sanhuai."
Rong Yunxi also felt that King Chen's analysis was reasonable. If not, what is the prince's intention in sending Qingluo to King Chen?
I have to go to the beautiful habitat to inquire and then make a guess.
The beautiful residence is located in the middle of the city, a little north in the center, a three-story red building, with a red lantern hanging at the door. Unlike low-end brothels, there are no women at the door. When I arrived at the door, I didn't hear the sound of noisy waves and laughter, but only the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras, which was an elegant place.
Entering it, there was a beautiful woman in her forties dressed in a blue dress, Ying Ying, who walked over. is not in a hurry, and it is also different from other brothel mothers.
"Second master, do you listen to music or eat? Or did you make an appointment with a girl to chat and relieve your boredom? "The words of hospitality are also very different from other places.
"We're going to buy people." King Chen said directly.
The beautiful woman was not surprised, and said with a smile: "What kind of girl do you want to buy?" Is it better to sing or to dance? I'm the housekeeper mother here, and my name is Aunt Hong. If the two masters have any requirements for the girls, you can tell me, I will help you find such a person for the two masters to choose, and the quasi-masters are satisfied. β
"Aunt Hong, find a quiet room for the two of me, and we'll talk to you carefully."
"Okay! Second master, please come with me. "Aunt Hong personally welcomed them upstairs.
found a quiet private room at the end of the second floor, and after King Chen and Rong Yunxi sat down, they directly understood their identities.
"Aunt Hong, this king is the king of Chen who came to Sanhuai with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this time."
"Oops......" Aunt Hong exclaimed, reacted quickly, knelt directly on the ground, kowtowed: "The slave family has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I hope Your Highness won't blame you." β
"It's okay, Aunt Hong, please get up quickly, don't be restrained." King Chen and Yue said with a smile.
"Yes." The people in the Fengyue place, what scene have you not seen? So I wasn't too scared, and I quickly calmed down.
King Chen said: "The prince bought the Qingluo girl here and gave it to the king, and the king was very happy." But there was no one to serve the beauty, so he thought that he should buy the slave and maid who served the girl here. Don't know if it's convenient? β
"It's convenient and convenient", Aunt Hong said, "Since the Qingluo left, Chunxiang has been crying in the house and has been crying all afternoon." The slave family is also upset when they look at it, and now His Royal Highness has this meaning, but he has helped the slave family a lot! Otherwise, the slave family would not be able to support her as an idler. I'm used to serving the best girls, so let her serve the middle girls and the inferior girls, and maybe how much trouble will she make for me! β
"Your Highness, wait a while, the slave family will go and call Chunxiang's little girl."
"Don't worry," King Chen said with a smile, "Aunt Hong, sit down and talk, this king still wants to ask about Miss Qingluo." Miss Qingluo came to the king's side, and the king liked it very much, and it was indispensable to do something to please her. If you want to please a beauty, you must understand her preferences, and even know everything about her. Aunt Hong, tell this king everything you know about Miss Qingluo. β
Aunt Hong hesitated in her heart when she heard King Chen's question. When Master Qu bought Qingluo and left, he told him not to tell anyone about Qingluo and her sister. Now that King Chen is here, is it a clichΓ©?
Lord Qu is the serious emperor above their heads, no matter how big this heavenly official of King Chen is, he can't control them if he goes down to earth for a while. So naturally, I still follow the meaning of Master Qu.
Listening to Aunt Hong, she was sold to the beautiful house when the Qingluo girl was eight years old, and she was bought by Master Qu, during which high-roller looked at her and she didn't obey, which master wanted to buy her, he didn't do it, and which son wanted to redeem her, she didn't agree...... It's all said clearly, and I even remember people's faces.
Rong Yunxi and King Chen just glanced at each other helplessly, feeling that these words were of no use except to prove that Miss Qingluo had indeed grown up in the Beauty House since she was a child, or that Aunt Hong's ability to make up stories was excellent.
"Who sold her?" King Chen interrupted Lu Gongzi, who was talking about Aunt Hong, and asked.
"It's her stepmother." Aunt Hong said happily.
It's not that she doesn't know that this shouldn't be said, but she deliberately pretends to be confused. Since Master Qu only said that he couldn't tell anyone about Qingluo's and his younger sister, and didn't say that he couldn't tell anyone about Qingluo's family affairs, then when King Chen asked, she didn't have anything to say.
If she doesn't answer some substantive questions about King Chen, it will arouse King Chen's suspicions. annoyed King Chen, the king was angry, what she could say and couldn't say, she had to say it obediently. Die now or die later, naturally choose the latter.
"What does their family do? Is it from Huaibin? King Chen asked again.
"This ......," Aunt Hong said, "I don't know, but I look at her stepmother as a little familiar, maybe I've seen it somewhere!" But if it's not Huaibin people, what to do, the slave family doesn't know. β
King Chen smiled, took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels, and pressed it on the table, "Her stepmother must be from Huaibin, otherwise how could a woman's family go so far to sell people?" β
"This king felt that either her father was a brute who didn't even recognize his own daughter, or her father was dead. Otherwise, if her father is the head of the family who can manage things, no matter how far she goes, her stepmother will not dare to sell people. That is to say, if you lose someone, you can't explain it to your man when you go home. And since her father is a wretched person who does not dare to speak, or is already dead, why should her stepmother go far away? β
"Sanhuai is so rich here, there are brothels everywhere. What's more, Aunt Hong, you buy people, don't you ask about the origin of this seller? What if it's a fugitive? If you don't know the roots, you don't dare to buy it. So even if Qingluo's family is from the countryside of Huaibin, you will figure out which village and which family it belongs to. β
Hearing King Chen say this, Aunt Hong felt that she was in a cold sweat all over...... is worthy of being the emperor's son and the prince of Kyoto City, how can he be so smart! Even the most prestigious and shrewd guest she had ever seen was not as good as half of King Chen's!
"This ...... Hehe...... Hehe...... "Deliberately laughing more naturally, while thinking of how to deal with it."
"Tell the king everything you have to say, and the king can promise you that he will never sell you. Well said, the hundred taels of silver are yours. It's not a good thing to say...... It's yours too. This king will use it to make you a good coffin and bury it beautifully. β
King Chen smiled so gently, but what he said made Aunt Hong retreat.
But he was still calm, and said with a shuddering smile: "Time ...... It's been too long, and His Royal Highness asked suddenly, and the slave family was confused for a while and didn't think about it. β
"Okay, then the king will give you time to think. Is a cup of tea enough? King Chen asked.
"Enough, enough......" Aunt Hong replied.
King Chen is a ruthless character, if you don't tell the truth, maybe your little life is really gone. is a prince, let alone crushing her, even crushing Master Qu to death is easy. And King Chen is so smart, after killing her, he naturally has a way to avoid being said to be careless about people's lives. So she died, also in vain.
This is back to the previous choice, to die now and to die later, naturally the latter is still to be chosen.
I gradually calmed down. If you decide to say it, then you can say it quickly, and maybe you can please King Chen.
The slave family remembered that Qingluo's father originally opened a rice shop in the south of the city, but later became seriously ill and died. At that time, Qingluo was only eight years old, and it was naturally impossible for her stepmother to take such a non-biological oil bottle, so she sold her and remarried elsewhere. After that, I never saw it again. β
"No," King Chen said with certainty, "Her family originally opened a rice shop in the south of the city, and her father is dead, what you said is true." But the fact that her stepmother remarried elsewhere may not be true. And you don't have to say everything about her family's population. β
Hearing King Chen's words, Aunt Hong was so frightened that her whole body froze! How could King Chen guess so accurately?
