Volume 1 Falling into Darkness Chapter 24 Xie Hua Lou

After the group of pickpockets left, Qin Chuan had nearly two hundred more crystal coins in his hand.

Although it was in the name of Ah Si Tang's medicine fee, Qin Chuan only gave Ah Si twenty crystal coins, and the rest was in his pocket.

Ah Si didn't mind, after all, he had followed Qin Chuan's blackbird before, and Qin Chuan also helped him a lot this time. If Qin Chuan hadn't shocked this group of people today, this pickpocket territory that belonged to him would have been snatched away, and people like him who only live by things would starve to death on the streets sooner or later.

Qin Chuan carried a bag of crystal coins on his waist, and couldn't help but sigh that he was too rich to be a pickpocket.

Qin Chuan walked a few steps but found Ah Si following him closely, turned to Ah Si and asked, "Help you for the sake of those crystal coins before, and now that the crystal coins have been returned to you, what are you doing with me." ”

Ah Si was grateful, handed over the twenty crystal coins that Qin Chuan gave him, and said: "I, Ah Si, have also been mixed on this road for so many years, and I have some righteous anger, and it is also appropriate to steal the crystal coins on my body after stealing your eldest brother's Juyuan gun, and now that you have helped me so much, big brother, you have helped me so much by driving away these people, and my Ah Si is not a person who sees money, I can't ask for this crystal coin." ”

Although Ah Si was much older than Qin Chuan, he still called out one big brother in a mouthful. Qin Chuan helped him keep the territory, which is equivalent to saving his livelihood, and he will not starve to death in the future, he is grateful to Qin Chuan from the bottom of his heart.

Qin Chuan couldn't believe that this pickpocket Ah Si would be so straightforward, but he didn't take back the crystal coin, shook his head and said, "What you give you is yours." ”

Seeing that Qin Chuan's attitude was resolute and he had no intention of taking back the crystal coin, Ah Si no longer insisted on it, "I don't think the eldest brother is like a person who has lived in Qingling City for a long time, is he here to do something in Qingling City? ”

Although Ah Si was grateful for this, he still had some thoughts of wanting to rely on Qin Chuan, after all, Qin Chuan's strength that had just knocked down his peers in a few breaths was genuine, there was a cultivator as the eldest brother, and in the future, who would dare to come and grab his territory from other pickpockets in Qingling City.

Qin Chuan stared at Ah Si for a long time before he asked in a low voice, "Then do you know the one-eyed snake head?"

Although Qin Chuan saw Ah Si's careful thoughts, he didn't care, and he didn't have a clue about his task now, so he tried to ask Ah Si about it.

Ah Si's spirits perked up, and he said: "Who doesn't know this, is that the leader of the Snake Gang in Qingling City......?"

Ah Si spent half a day of effort to tell Qin Chuan everything he knew about the one-eyed snake head, and even told him how the one-eyed snake head was blind in one eye back then.

Qin Chuan filtered Ah Si's words many times before he found a piece of information that was useful to him.

There is a flower building in Qingling City, which is the favorite place for prostitutes to go within a radius of 100 miles in Qingling City, and this flower building is the property of the Snake Gang. If the one-eyed snake head has nothing important, he will go to the Xie Hua Lou every five days, and the previous Oiran of the Xie Hua Lou belong to the one-eyed snake head. And it is in a place like Xie Hualou that the guards of the one-eyed snake head will be attracted too much attention by the many flowery flowers, and they will be a little lax.

Qin Chuan suddenly felt that this Jiehualou was a good place to get hold of.

The night was slightly dark, and Qin Chuan took Ah Si to the Jiehua Building located in Yanliu Lane in Qingling City.

The wooden Jiehualou looks like it is a unique tree in this Qingling City from the outside, there are fewer people here during the day, and only at night will it be brightly lit and lively.

Qin Chuan and the others were about to enter, but the two janitors in front of the Xie Hualou stretched out their hands to stop, "The two of you don't like the guests who come often." ”

Qin Chuan and Ah Si are not gorgeously dressed people, this Jiehualou is a well-known gold cave in Qingling City, and it is normal for the guards to despise Qin Chuan and the two who are slightly plainly dressed.

Seeing that these two guys were deliberately making things difficult for people, Ah Si cleverly handed two crystal coins to the two janitors, and said, "The two of you are accommodating, my eldest brother has made a small fortune recently, don't you want to come to Xie Hualou to see and understand." ”

The gatekeeper happily accepted the crystal coin before putting down his arm and letting Qin Chuan Ah Si in.

At this time, the people in the Jiehua Building were boiling, only to see a half-person high platform, a young woman in a big red dress was dancing with the music, and a group of spectators were fascinated to enjoy the graceful dance on the stage, and a cheer would rise when they arrived at the wonderful place.

Qin Chuan found an empty table and sat down, Ah Si beckoned the guys in the building to finish serving tea and pastries, then pointed to the woman dancing on the stage, and said to Qin Chuan: "Big brother, the one on the stage is this Xie Hua Lou Oiran." Xie Hualou Oiran is selected once a year, and half a year ago, it was this flower girl named Yanliu who won the position of Oiran by virtue of her dancing skills. The previous Oiran of this Jiehualou did not accept outsiders, and only entertained the one-eyed snake head of the master behind the Jiehualou. ”

Qin Chuan didn't tell Ah Si why he inquired about the one-eyed snake head, but the clever Ah Si was also an interesting person, so he didn't ask much.

Qin Chuan asked in a low voice, "When is the next time the one-eyed snake head comes to Jiehualou?"

Ah Si thought for a while and said, "I heard that the one-eyed snake head invited the Situ commander of Qingling City to come to the Jiehua Building last time, if there is no accident, the one-eyed snake head should come to the Jiehua Building tomorrow night." ”

After a day of preparation, although Qin Chuan felt a little tight, he was still able to accept it.

Qin Chuan looked at the obsessed prostitutes on the stage, and the stars held the smoke willows dancing in the moon, "By the way, do you know which room this Oiran smoke willow lives in in this Jiehua Building?"

Ah Si was busy eating the pastries on the table, afraid that his voice would be a little slurred, so he hurriedly poured a sip of tea and swallowed it and said with a radiant spirit, "Everyone in Qingling City knows that the highest room in the Xie Hua Building is for the previous Oiran to live in, and every year I don't know how many Hua Niang of the Xie Hua Building fight for the highest and best house in order to be the Oiran and live in the highest and best room." ”

Just when Qin Chuan was thinking about it, Ah Si seemed to guess Qin Chuan's thoughts, and added: "But this passage to the Oiran house is guarded by the people of the Xie Hualou, and outsiders are not allowed to approach, and if the one-eyed snake head comes, the guards outside the Oiran house will have more of his guards." ”

Qin Chuan, who Ah Si knew, had already understood everything, and then instructed Ah Si to treat him as if he hadn't asked these questions.

Just when Qin Chuan and Ah Si had no small talk, a flower girl from Xie Hualou twisted her waist and walked over.

I have to say that this Jiehualou is worthy of being the first place in Qingling City, and the people who show their faces in front of the guests are all flower girls of the age of peach and plum, and none of them are vulgar half-aged.

Although this flower girl who came to Qinchuan is at the age of peach and plum, she is half-covered and half-concealed under a tulle violet skirt, which makes people salivate and reverie.

"Why is this little boy unaccompanied, why don't you stay in my room tonight and talk about Fengyue with you?" The silver bell-like voice of this purple dress girl sounded in Qin Chuan's ears, but her upper body was already leaning lightly on Qin Chuan's left arm, and her eyes fell on Qin Chuan's bulging money bag containing crystal coins from time to time.

She leaned on Qin Chuan's arm to the point of action, this is the difference between a high-end place like Xie Hualou and those vulgar and low-cost places as soon as she entered the door. If the guests do not respond, the flower girl who comes will walk away with interest.

Qin Chuan pretended to ignore her, looked at the Oiran Smoke Willow on the stage with great taste, and threw the money bag on his waist to Ah Si on the side.

Ah Si smiled and understood, picked up the money bag full of crystal coins, got up and walked upstairs to Xie Hualou, and touched her waist when he passed by the purple skirt flower girl.

The purple skirt flower girl was shy and knowing, no longer pestering Qin Chuan, and looked at the Oiran smoke willow on the stage jealously and followed Ah Si.

Qin Chuan left from the main entrance of Xie Hua Lou after Ah Si and the purple skirt flower girl entered the upstairs room, and came to the back of the flower building after turning a few alleys one after another.

From the back of the Jiehua Building, you can only see the Jiehua Building exposed behind the high blue brick wall, the Jiehua Building is a wooden building, there are four floors, the area of each floor is also decreasing, the highest four floors only have a large spacious room.

Qin Chuan picked up his vitality, climbed the high wall with light force under his feet, and then climbed up along the wall at the back of the Jiehua Building with his bare hands. The second and third floors of the Xie Hua Building are the houses of the flower girls, and from time to time there will be a faint blood-rushing voice in the mind. These rooms with light just formed a strong contrast with the darkness on the walls, and Qin Chuan was able to perfectly hide in the darkness and go to the fourth floor.

Arriving outside the fourth floor, Qin Chuan hung on the cornices of the fourth floor, quietly listening to the movement inside. For a long time, Qin Chuan didn't hear any breathing sound in the house. There was no one in the house, so Qin Chuan took out his alloy short sword and opened the wooden window and entered the house.

The owner of the fourth floor is the Oiran Yanliu of the Xie Hua Building, and she is still dancing on the first floor at this time, and the large room on the fourth floor is empty. Qin Chuan cautiously stepped into it, observing every detail in the room.

The four-story house, which is nearly a dozen steps long and wide, is not separated by wooden walls, but is separated by rows of elegant screens from the place where the couch, the place to entertain the guests, and the place to bathe......

The interior of the house is luxuriously furnished, and there are two deep-sea whale beads unique to the Wandao continent alone, which are placed in front of the bed, and these two superb deep-sea whale beads with the effect of calming the mind and sleeping are worth thousands of crystal coins.

The entire four-story house was decorated in bright red, which shows how much the Oiran Smoke Willow who danced in a red dress on the first floor loved red. Qin Chuan also found a special place in this house, although it was separated by several screens, but a small incense burner was placed in each area, and each incense burner was a faint bamboo leaf incense with calming effect, which made the entire originally red room full of a light and elegant atmosphere.

After Qin Chuan carefully inspected each incense burner, he found that there were a lot of incense ashes in each incense burner, not that the maid who cleaned the room was lazy and couldn't clear the incense ashes in the furnace for a few days, but that this kind of bamboo leaf incense was burning in this room all the time.

At this moment, the footsteps of going upstairs sounded in the corridor leading to the fourth floor, and the guys guarding the corridor said hello and said hello one after another, it was Oiran Smoke Willow who had returned.

Qin Chuan quickly covered up his traces, and then left from the wooden window where he had come recently, not forgetting to restore the wooden window to its original state before leaving.

Qin Chuan, who landed under the high wall, dusted off the dust that he had rubbed on his body when climbing, and he did not go back to the inn directly, nor did he go to find Ah Si, who was in bliss, but went straight to a pharmacy in Qingling City in his memory.

When Qin Chuan entered the Oiran room on the fourth floor and saw the incense burner, he suddenly thought of a good thing, which might have a miraculous effect when he did something to the one-eyed snake head.

Qin Chuan rushed to the medicine shop in the city to prepare such a thing.
