Fifty-four, murder count

When Shi Heng saw her such a sultry attitude, his whole body melted like a snow lion to fire.

Lu Manxue saw Shi Heng's appearance in her heart, and she also knew in her heart that now she wanted to regain the position of the palace master with the red candle shadow from Lan Jing's hands, and now the only way was to take refuge in Shi Heng's door, and only in this way could she achieve her goal.

Cao Jixiang smiled on the side of the side: "Then congratulations to Miss Lu Manxue, this time with the help of Lord Shi, she will definitely be able to win the position of the palace master with the candle shadow shaking red."

Lu Manxue didn't have much affection for Cao Jixiang, but she knew in her heart that this person could be on an equal footing with Shi Heng, and his identity would definitely not be low, so she said, "Thank you for your kind words." ”

Cao Jixiang opened his mouth and said: "Miss Lu doesn't have to be polite, she will be her own family in the future." ”

Shi Heng took the opportunity to put his arms around Lu Manxue's waist and said, "Miss Lu Manxue, this matter is already over, it is better to stay and have a light meal in my house tonight, Lord Ben still has something to know about the candle shadow shaking red." ”

Saying that, Shi Heng's hand roamed unscrupulously behind Lu Manxue.

Hearing Shi Heng's words, Lu Manxue already knew what he meant, and knew in her heart that if she rejected Shi Heng, she was afraid that if she wanted to ascend to the position of the palace master with the red candle shadow this time, there would be no drama.

Thinking of this, Lu Manxue had no choice but to swallow her anger and speak to Shi Heng: "Since Lord Shi has said so, it is difficult to be gracious, so Manxue will accompany the Lord to have a light meal." ”

Shi Heng was a hungry ghost, and when he heard Lu Manxue's words, he couldn't care about Cao Jixiang by his side, so he said to Lu Manxue: "Miss Lu is really fast-talking, come here, hurry up and prepare a banquet to catch the wind for Miss Lu Manxue." ”

The housekeeper outside answered, and then instructed the people in the house to prepare for this matter.

Cao Jixiang is also an old fox, well-rounded, seeing that things are like this, he stood up with a smile and said to Shi Heng with a smile: "Lord Shi, there is still something to do next, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I will leave." ”

Shi Heng heard Cao Jixiang's words, so he said, "It's okay, go and visit Grandpa Cao again." ”

After Shi Heng sent Cao Jixiang away, he set up a banquet and came over to feast Lu Manxue.

Of course, drinking is secondary, between the banquets, Shi Heng pretended to be drunk, fell over, hugged Lu Manxue, Lu Manxue wanted to refuse and welcome, the two eyebrows were eyebrows, and finally hooked up and became a traitor, Lu Manxue followed in the footsteps of Nangong Mingfeng and became Shi Heng's person.

Since attaching Shi Heng's power, Lu Manxue has received a lot of silver support from Shi Heng, and she has used this silver to buy a lot of junior brothers and sisters who are shaking red with candle shadows.

Lu Manxue was originally the first disciple of Nangong Mingfeng, their senior sister, naturally no one dared to offend easily, not to mention that Lu Manxue was also tempting to make a profit, naturally some people flocked to it.

Soon, relying on Shi Heng's support, Lu Manxue bought many disciples who were shaking red with candle shadows.

Shi Heng, who was hiding behind the scenes, secretly instructed Lu Manxue to send some of his disciples who were shaking red with candle shadows to make trouble in the capital, causing official trouble everywhere, bullying men and women, and causing public resentment to boil.

However, when the emperor received Shi Heng's report, he did not want to add to the crime because of Jian Huaizhen's face and the fact that the candle shadow was red and the previous escort was successful.

When Shi Heng saw that the situation was not right, he knew in his heart that if he wanted to provoke the emperor, such small rights and wrongs were not enough, and he had to make a big move.

With such thoughts in his heart, he discussed with Lu Manxue for a while, and decided to find a noble person to open the knife, wanting to use this matter to impress the emperor's heart, so that the emperor ordered to severely punish the palace master who was shaking red with the candle shadow and connived at his disciples to commit murderous and hurtful things.

After setting the method, Lu Manxue sent someone to secretly inquire about the whereabouts of the nobles of the court, wanting to choose an unlucky ghost among these nobles.

However, this candidate is a little difficult to pick, and the pick-and-choose finally focuses on Concubine Zhen's younger brother Zhen Xiuyong.

This Zhen Xiuyong was originally a swinger who was not good at learning, and with this sister, he was favored by the emperor's crown and harem, and he had no worries about food and clothing, and he only knew how to fight eagles and dogs and prostitutes all day long. The prostitute, there is no Qinglou Goulan in the Beijing Division that he is not familiar with, and those girls all recognize him as the younger brother of the emperor's favorite concubine.

This layer of nepotism is the biggest nepotism in the world, so those prostitutes and customers let him, if he falls in love with a girl at the same time, he doesn't have to speak, and the guests will send him by themselves. Because he didn't send it over, this son played with right and wrong in front of his sister, and Concubine Zhen complained in front of the emperor, and the emperor was furious, even if he had seventeen or eighteen heads, it was not enough to cut off. Such a big thing, but no one is willing to take this risk, the girl can prostitute in the future, and her head falls off but she doesn't even have to eat.

Therefore, this person's reputation in the Qinglou is also quite big, and everyone knows that it is better to offend high-ranking officials and nobles than to offend this Zhen Xiuyong Gongzi.

However, Zhen Xiuyong, who is usually arrogant and domineering, can not be the only one, actually suffered a loss in the brothel of the Qinglou today.

Zhen Yanyong walked to a green building called Yihong Courtyard, and the girl inside naturally greeted her.

"Uncle Zhen, what kind of wind blew you here?" Several charming girls greeted them.

Zhen Yanyong casually hugged the two girls who came forward, stretched out his hand and pinched their tender and smooth skin, and then said with a smile: "Uncle Ben misses you, isn't Uncle Ben welcome to come." ”

A girl shook the handkerchief in her hand to Zhen Yanyong, and pretended to be angry and said: "Where do we dare not let Uncle Zhen come, we are looking forward to Uncle Zhen coming day and night." ”

Hearing him say this, Zhen Yan couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he spoke: "Why is this? ”

Another outspoken and open-mouthed girl smiled and said: "What's this, Zhen Gongzi is young and rich, and the sisters are naturally willing to follow you." ”

When Zhen Yanyong heard this, he laughed and said, "I see, Xiaohong is really a witty remark." ”

Hearing this, the women in the Qinglou who were gathered around laughed.

"Young Master Zhen, then let's go in now." The girl in the Qinglou on the side laughed for a while, and then someone spoke.

Zhen Yanyong smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, it's not interesting to stay outside, I'll wait until I go in first." ”

Hearing Zhen Yanyong's words, the girls around him surrounded him and entered the Qinglou together.

What Zhen Yan never knew was that not long after he entered, another group of people followed.

Soon Zhen Yanyong will be able to play the uncle's temper, there is a red-card girl in this building, which can be regarded as Zhen Yanyong's thought.

As soon as he sat down, Zhen Yanyong asked, "Where is Miss Cuiqiao?" ”

The fast-talking little red replied: "Miss Cuiqiao is receiving a distinguished guest. ”

When Zhen Yanyong heard this, his anger came up, and he scolded Xiaohong: "He is your distinguished guest, isn't it impossible for me Zhen to be a person, do you want to open the door for business in the future." ”

Hearing Zhen Xiuyong's words, the girls in the other buildings hurriedly said, "Uncle Zhen, don't worry, I'll find Cui Qiao for you right away." ”

At this time, I only heard a loud shout, and someone behind shouted: "Nonsense, Miss Cuiqiao has already let us take it." ”

Zhen Yanyong had never seen anyone dare to follow him in the Qinglou, so he squinted his eyes, and immediately found that there were two people on the other side, one of whom was thin and tall, and he was also staring at him, looking at the situation, and not putting himself in his eyes at all.

Zhen Yanyong smiled angrily and said, "What kind of place are you from, why did you come here." ”

The other party also said without showing weakness: "Uncle, I will not change my name or surname, and the candle shadow will shake the red disciple Han Qianshan, this building is not opened by your family, why can't we come." ”

The shorter one next to him also said: "That's right, isn't the Qinglou a place where you can come if you have money." ”

Zhen Yanyong sneered and said, "Other Qinglou is like this, but not here." ”

The slender Han Qianshan took out a few ingots of silver from the leather bag and said: "Lao Tzu has money, where you fall in love, what kind of person are you and what do you do." ”

Zhen Yanyong didn't have such a thing, so he stood up and punched at the other party.

The thin and tall man seemed to have been on guard for a long time, so he pushed Zhen Yanyong aside and fell into a.

Zhen Yanyong made a fool of himself, and he couldn't hold it on his face now, jumped up, looked around to see if there were any guys who were taking advantage of him, and saw a bench.

Zhen Yanyong ran over, then grabbed the bench and said, slamming towards Han Qianshan.

The blow really hit Han Qianshan's head, and blood flowed immediately.

Han Qianshan is not a vegetarian either, so he immediately pulled out a knife from behind him and gave Zhen Yanyong a knife in his heart.

This knife stabbed the vital point, and Zhen Yanyong was killed instantly. Han Qianshan pulled out the knife, greeted his partner, and walked away.

There was a sudden chaos in the Qinglou, and the murder of Zhen Yanyong was very important, so naturally someone went to report to the government.

When the government heard about such a thing, it naturally did not dare to slack off, and after sending someone over for an autopsy, it quickly asked people to notify the palace.

Concubine Zhen's younger brother Zhen Xiuyong and one of the disciples of Candle Shadow Shake Red Han Qianshan competed for the Qinglou Kabuki, Han Qianshan's killing of Zhen Xiuyong soon spread to the palace, Concubine Zhen heard it, her heart was broken, and she ran to cry with the emperor, asking the emperor to avenge his brother, and asking the emperor to severely punish the person who shook the candle shadow red.

After hearing Concubine Zhen's cry, the emperor comforted her and said that he would definitely give him a result.

After pacifying, Zhu Qizhen felt that the matter was not yet clear, and in order to save face for Jian Huaizhen, he still wanted to put it on hold.

However, the perpetrator still had to be arrested, so the emperor ordered someone to arrest Han Qianshan.

The emperor gave an order, and the people below did not dare to slack off.

The perpetrator, Han Qianshan, was quickly arrested and brought to justice.

However, after asking about the situation, the emperor and the emperor thought about it carefully, and felt that Zhen Xiuyong, the younger brother of Concubine Zhen, and Han Qianshan, a disciple of Candle Shadow Shake Red, fought over the Qinglou Kabuki Cuiqiao and fought, Zhen Yanyong hurt Han Qianshan first, and it was Zhen Yanyong who did it first.

In addition, Zhu Qizhen felt that this matter was very important, in order to leave a room for Jian Huaizhen, so that she would not have the heart of a bird to hide her bow, he still wanted to put this matter aside and figure out the reason for the situation first.

Zhu Qizhen has been the emperor for so many years, and he didn't do it for nothing.

Shi Heng and Lu Manxue were surprised to see the situation develop like this.

However, Shi Heng didn't want to let it go so small, and wanted to add fuel to the fire. found Lu Manxue and instructed her to let people take the opportunity to spread rumors in the capital, saying that Candle Shadow Shake Red and Confession Door had saved the emperor and was the emperor's benefactor. The people with red candle shadows are swaggering through the capital city, and no one can control even if they commit murder.

After these words spread from the streets and alleys, they quickly reached Jian Huaizhen's ears.

She was a little anxious in her heart, if the disciple of the candle shadow shaking red was allowed to mess around, she was afraid that it would have a big impact on the entire candle shadow shaking red.

So Jian Huaizhen decided to find Lan Jing and talk to him about this matter, but after finding the place where the candle shadow was red, Lan Jing was a little cold to her.

After Jian Huaizhen saw Lan Jing, he opened his mouth and said: "Sister, you have to restrain the disciples of the candle shadow shaking red, don't let them mess around, if you control it, let it act recklessly, I am afraid that in the future, it will have a big impact on the entire candle shadow shaking red, and when the emperor blames it, my sister will not be able to help." ”

Lan Jing heard Jian Huaizhen's words, so she said: "There is such a thing, but the emperor did not tell my disciple what to do, it is said that Zhen Yan is never right, my disciple is just self-defense, and killed the other party by mistake, can this blame Han Qianshan." ”

Hearing this, Jian Huaizhen couldn't help but be angry.

Lan Jing saw that Jian Huaizhen was speechless, so she said: "Sister, the situation is not so difficult for the candle shadow to shake red now, so there is no need for my sister to act on her behalf." The little sister is cooking. ”

Jian Huaizhen heard that she regarded her kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, and she was extremely angry in her heart, but she also understood in her heart that she was afraid that it would not work if she wanted to talk to Lan Jing now.

After having this thought in his heart, Jian Huaizhen smiled and said, "Sister, your disciple acts like this, you still don't think it's nothing, but you are not afraid that you will cause great trouble in the future." ”

Hearing this, Lan Jing also lowered her face and said, "Jian Huaizhen, I am willing to teach you that my sister is considered to be exalting you, if it weren't for Jiang Shaoheng's sake, I wouldn't want to pay attention to you." Besides, the children of the rivers and lakes should be informal, why stumble over them, if something happens in the future, Lan Jing will carry it, and it will never affect your sister. ”

These words clearly have the meaning of cutting off the robe and breaking the righteousness, and Jian Huaizhen also felt a chill in his heart when he heard it.

In this way, Jian Huaizhen had no choice but to say: "It's okay, I have already persuaded you about the candle shadow shaking red, if you don't listen and refuse to discipline the candle shadow shaking red disciples under the door, then if there are any consequences in the future, you can do it yourself." ”

Lan Jing was not ambiguous, and said to Jian Huaizhen: "This is exactly what I mean, by the way, sister, these days, I think I, the palace master with a red candle shadow, has done a very good job, and my sister doesn't have to point fingers and interfere in the future." ”

Jian Huaizhen didn't expect Lan Jing to say such words, and he was so angry that he had to nod and say, "It's okay, in the future, I will wait for the two of them to not interfere with the river water, and follow each other." ”

Lan Jing didn't say angrily: "Then I won't send it." ”

After Jian Huaizhen came out of the candle shadow with a belly full of anger and shook red, he went to Nangong Jiuzhong's side.

When Nangong Jiuzhong heard that Jian Huaizhen had encountered such a thing at Lan Jing's place, he was extremely angry and wanted to go to Lan Jing's theory.

Jian Huaizhen hurriedly stopped her and said, "She has eaten the scales and has an iron heart, and she will never listen to the opinions of me and other people." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Nangong Jiuzhong said to Jian Huaizhen: "Miss, since the situation has reached such a point, how should we take care of it." ”

Jian Huaizhen thought for a while and said, "It's not that things can't be done, it's just that Lan Jing has always been dissatisfied with me these days, and now if she wants to change her course, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

Hearing this, Nangong Jiuzhong hurriedly said: "How can this be good, if you let the disciples of the candle shadow shake red mess around, and do not strictly control it, for a long time, these people will act recklessly in the capital, I am afraid that it will be a big disaster in the future, and maybe it will affect the foundation of the candle shadow shake red." The impact of this kind of incident is not small, now that Han Qianshan killed a Zhen Yanyong, it has already caused a storm in the city, if something happens in the future, when the emperor blames it, even if my sister comes forward, I am afraid that she will not be able to help, so she can only sit back and watch the candle shadow shake the red emperor and wipe it away. ”

Jian Huaizhen naturally understood this truth in his heart, so he said to Nangong Jiuzhong: "You don't have to be careful about the candle shadow shaking red, the most important thing at the moment is not to make mistakes on the side of the Confession Gate, if the disciples of the Confession Gate act recklessly in the capital, the disaster in the future will be great." ”

Nangong Jiuzhong hurriedly said: "Miss, you can rest assured, Jiuzhong has always been extremely strict with the disciples under his disciples, and he will never let his disciples break into such a disaster." ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded slightly and said, "I am also very aware of this matter, but even so, I must be careful to take precautions, and there are other disasters on the side." ”

Nangong Jiu nodded and said, "Lu Manxue seems to have taken refuge in Shi Heng right now. ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said, "I have also heard a little about this matter, and it seems that neither of them nor their master and apprentice can pass the fame and fortune level." ”

Nangong Jiuzhong said: "I also inquired about a little news, this time it was Manxue who sent some disciples with candle shadows to shake the red to make trouble in the capital, causing public resentment to boil. And Concubine Zhen's younger brother Zhen Xiuyong and Han Qianshan, a disciple of Candle Shadow Shake Red, fought for the woman in the Qinglou, Han Qianshan killed Zhen Xiuyong, these things were all done by Lu Manxue. ”

Jian Huaizhen heard Nangong Jiuzhong's words, so he spoke: "It seems that this Lu Manxue must be strictly guarded, if she is allowed to take the position, I am afraid that there will be many things in the Jingshi." ”

Nangong said: "I'm afraid that not only the Jingshi will have a lot of trouble, but even the rivers and lakes will be like this, I heard that Han Qianshan ran to cry with the emperor for a while, and asked the emperor to severely punish the person who shook the candle shadow red, but the emperor did not agree, and only punished Han Qianshan." ”

Jian Huaizhen hurriedly said, "This is true. ”

"It's true. The young lady asked Lan Jing to restrain the disciple. Lan Jing didn't think so, thinking that the children of the rivers and lakes should be informal, and they deserved to die. ”

"Well, you have to be careful." Jian Huaizhen opened his mouth and said.

"Yes, Nangong Jiuzhong will restrain his disciples, and nothing will happen to the confession gate, so Miss can rest assured." Nangong Jiuzhong said.
