The moon is above the clouds, the night is getting deeper, many people have fallen asleep for tomorrow's livelihood, and some people can't sleep.

Many years ago, in the common understanding of the people of Xuanyang City, the so-called south and north of the city were bounded by the Chaoyang Street that spanned the entire city from the east gate to the west gate.

In recent years, the concept has undergone some subtle changes.

The south and north of the city have become the respective spheres of influence of the two largest and only two big gangs in the underworld of Xuanyang City, and no one knows how strong the south and north are, but in this big city with a population of one million, there are many people who need to rely on their snort to live.

Li Jingshu, a native of Qingzhou City, Xiaoshan County, is one of the more outstanding people in this group.

Li Jingshu is now one of the few wealthy businessmen on the north side of Chaoyang Street, and has been in the jewelry business for many years, and even opened the branch of his jewelry store to Tianhuo City in Yinwu County a few days ago. Boss Li's business in recent years has been smooth, very righteous, not only many people want to go to the pole to scold him, but also live a very comfortable private life, within two years he married four concubines in a row, and his wife didn't even have any complaints.

Li Jingshu's background is not good, and even when he was very young, he often lived a life where three meals could not be guaranteed, but that was all in the past. Now that he can eat the freshest sea fish from the Tokai-han clipper every day, as well as the most famous and priceless snow berries in Sensetsuki-gun, he feels very satisfied, and he will never remember the past again.

So for so many years, he has slept well every night, and many times he won't even have a dream.

But tonight he had insomnia.

The reason for the insomnia comes from the fact that his shop has been harassed by a group of gangs every day recently, and his business has been seriously affected, and one old customer even discounted his leg when he came to buy and vowed never to come to his store again, which made him very distressed.

Boss Li's seven shops in Xuanyang City were all rented from the people of the Southern Gang, and he had never had an accident under the protection of the Southern Gang. It's just that in the past few days, I don't know what's going on, my store has been smashed by the people of the North Gang, but the group of people in the South Gang haven't even let go of a fart.

It seems that there is still less tribute in the usual way, and Ming'er has to find Wang Biao again and said, Li Jingshu secretly made a decision, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and lay down on the soft couch in his study.

Which room should I sleep in tonight?

However, before the soft couch was covered with heat, someone bumped into them and broke in in a hurry, still shouting: "Master, no, it's not good!"

Li Jingshu listened to the huge belly jumping, and without thinking about it, he raised his hand and slapped him, and shouted, "How the hell are you talking, who is wrong?"

The person in front of him was his housekeeper, and after receiving this slap from him, he cried and said with a sad face: "No, it's not that you're bad, it's our storefront." ”

"What's wrong with the storefront, say!"

"The people of the North Gang blocked the door of the house, saying that since Ming'er, those storefronts have belonged to them, and the rent has to be repaid, and it will increase by 30%!"

There was a snap and another slap in the face.

"Waste! You're not going to go to the people of the Southern Gang? I'm still going to teach you this little thing?"

The housekeeper only felt that his cheeks were hot and painful, for fear that the old man would be angry and reward him again, so he had to squeeze out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and snorted: "I, I want to find it, but those grandchildren don't know where to hide, not to mention that the gang of evil gods in the north gang said that after tonight, there will be no south gang." ”

"What!"

Li Jingshu felt as if a large stream of cold water had fallen from the sky, and his whole heart became cold.

"Quick, go and report to the official!"

......

This is happening all over Kyoto, with countless people getting rich overnight and countless others going bankrupt at the same time.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Under the deliberate arrangement of some big people, the top floor of the Tilting Cloud Pavilion became the meeting place of the two gangs in the north and south tonight. Because of the fierce fighting before, the place was in shambles, and almost all the tables, chairs and furniture were intact. The fine porcelain had been reduced to splinters and spread to the floor, and the delicious food that had been served in cups and plates had fallen to pieces on the rich carpets.

However, not long after Xiao Xuan and the others left, a group of people came here.

This is a group of middle-aged people wearing cyan standard long clothes, no one to lead, after entering the middle of the elegant room, they began to clean without saying a word. Someone was responsible for repairing the broken windows, someone was cleaning up the debris from the floor, but no one spoke, and the whole time there was silence.

Four men were responsible for disposing of the two bodies that were still warm.

These two people, especially the man with a blue face, used to be characters who could call the wind and rain on the rivers and lakes of Xuanyang City, but the past is the past. When they saw this person, there was no expression on their faces, not even the slightest change in their eyes.

Less than 100 steps away from the Tilting Cloud Pavilion, there is a small courtyard, and the courtyard is a two-story small building.

Rockery, flowing water, and three well-kept acacia trees.

From the view of this small courtyard, it can be seen that its owner is not a tasteless vulgar person. On the contrary, although it was shrouded in a silent night at this time, the courtyard had a touch of unique seclusion and elegance.

The person who can buy a single-family courtyard in the vicinity of the Tilting Cloud Pavilion may not be the most wealthy and powerful person in Xuanyang City, but it will definitely not be an ordinary person.

In fact, the owner of the small courtyard, in Xuanyang City, where the powerful ministers and wealthy of the whole Xia Kingdom are concentrated, if you talk about wealth, she can't even rank at the bottom, but she must be the most famous type of person in the whole capital.

Today's Xia Emperor Murong Yan is naturally the one who is most admired by all the people, but how can ordinary people in Great Xia have the opportunity to see the true face of His Majesty the Emperor? Compared with this, the people in Xuanyang City may be more interested in this owner of the small courtyard.

It's just that the person who lives in this two-story building is a woman.

But she is not an ordinary woman, she is the leader of the Xuanyang Festival with hundreds of various green houses, the person who made a name in Kyoto ten years ago, and then won the first place in the annual Oiran election ten times in a row.

She is Wei Shenyang, the dream lover of many men, and the first Oiran in Xuanyang City.

Listening to the faint sound of ping-pong from the tall building in the distance, the woman sitting by the window frowned.

It's still dressed in black, but it's just that there's a heavy famous sword missing by his side.

Qin Yueran sat opposite her, seeing that she seemed to be a little displeased with the noise over there, and smiled softly: "It's good to get used to it." ”

No one would have thought that the Divine Imperial Eunuch, who was known for his coldness and secrecy in the six departments and three prisons and two mansions in Kyoto, would produce a special woman like Qin Yueran. She is quiet and clean, but she is not cold or arrogant, and she will not be too strict with her subordinates.

No one would have thought that the deputy head of the Divine Imperial Eunuch would have anything to do with the Oiran in the Tilting Cloud Pavilion.

The woman turned her face sideways, no longer looking at the high-rise building that was shining in the dark night, and a pair of beautiful eyebrows immediately stretched out, and said with a gentle smile: "I'm just a weak woman, how can it be like you are a great cultivator who has cultivated to a high level, and you are still serving in a high-level yamen like the Divine Imperial Eunuch, and begging for a living in Xuanyang City, when don't you be scared?"

She stretched out her white jade-like fingers to pick up a red fruit from the fruit bowl on the table, but this is a very simple action, and the style between her eyebrows is fully displayed, and it is indescribably lazy and attractive.

If it was a man sitting across from her at this time, it would have been difficult to resist this temptation. It's just that there are no men there, just just equally beautiful women.

As the deputy head of the Divine Imperial Eunuch, Qin Yueran most of the time cares about how to complete the tasks of the imperial court and how to better fulfill his duties as the deputy chief. But that doesn't mean she doesn't care about her looks and looks. Men like to look at beautiful women, and women also like to look at beautiful women, but the former is out of **, and the latter is out of comparison between the same kind.

However, in front of this woman who is known for her iceberg-like temperament to the world, even if Qin Yueran is as talented as her, she rarely has the heart to compare.

"Then again, I have to thank you for reminding me, otherwise I should have played in the pavilion tonight, and I really didn't want to cause those troubles. ”

"You're laughing again, I do these things as a matter of course. ”

Wei Shenyang's lips opened lightly, gently bit the red fruit, and said vaguely: "In this world, there is nothing to take for granted, just like in the eyes of those outsiders, how can a female prison leader with advanced cultivation and a Qinglou woman who has been floating and sinking in the Fengyue Field for many years have a relationship with a star?"

Qin Yueran smiled, the relationship between her and Fairy Wei, who many big people wanted to see at the expense of thousands of dollars, originated from a past incident, and there must be something inhumane in it.

In front of Shangguan Yu, the Divine Imperial Supervisor, she is a subordinate, and she is also one of the people most relied on and trusted by her superiors; in the eyes of the thousands of subordinates scattered throughout the country of the Divine Imperial Eunuch, she is a high-ranking deputy; in the eyes of those who oppose the Divine Imperial Eunuch or the imperial court, she is a master of the Void Realm who will not show any mercy.

Because of her various roles, she doesn't have many friends in the capital, and this beautiful woman in front of her who doesn't practice and stays away from officialdom is one of them.

There have been a lot of things going on in the capital recently, although those things don't seem to have much connection, but the Divine Imperial Eunuch is the Divine Imperial Eunuch after all, and Qin Yueran is Qin Yueran after all, and some clues were finally found. Before the two gangs of the north and south met in the Tilting Cloud Pavilion tonight, she had already gotten the news. However, due to some force majeure factors at the top, even she could not prevent something that was destined to happen later, so all she could do was to let some of the people she cared about not be affected by this bloody fight.

This dark woman was pondering, because she thought of what her boss Shangguan Yu had said to her this morning, and she had no way to raise any objections, so she was a little unwilling, and even a little angry.

Naturally, these thoughts of hers will not be hidden from Wei Shenyang, who is close at hand.

"You don't have to think about that much, there is such a poem in the poet Li Da, life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon, that's what he said. ”

"Life is not satisfactory, nine out of ten, you are better, after all, it is a profound cultivation, this life can enjoy more time, I can't, just a few decades, if you always think about those unhappy things, people will age faster. ”

When Qin Yueran heard this, a pair of clear eyes became brighter, his long eyelashes fluttered up and down between the blinks of his eyes, a shallow smile appeared on his face, and two beautiful dimples could be vaguely seen.

If those people in the divine palace saw her appearance, they would definitely be so shocked that even their jaws fell, where is this female deputy head with unfathomable cultivation, it is clearly a little girl who has not been deeply involved in the world.

"That's why I always like to come to you, and listening to what you have to say makes me feel much better. ”

"Then you should come more often in the future. ”

"Needless to say?"

"It's hard at night, go back and rest early, ah, don't forget that sword in the pavilion, I don't like those things." ”

"I can't forget anything, I can't forget it. ”

The two talked softly for a while, and Qin Yueran pushed the door out, his eyes fell into the vast night in the distance, and he looked at the railing.

There are some things that still have to be done.
