Compared to the supremacy of the emperor,

Mei Chengtai, the only son of the Pinghai Marquis Mansion, is more like a winner in life to some extent.

His grandfather was the marquis of the imperial court, and his aunt was the emperor's favored concubine, the prince was the brother of the same generation in a large family, and the emperor was his uncle.

Mei's has always been golden,

Born in such a family, Mei Chengtai didn't know what sorrow was.

Until I vaguely saw the girl's side face, a look, a look, a look, it was difficult for the young heart to hold itself, and often did not think about it.

So I come here every day, and I often listen to the music and the people in the song.

The sitting of Miss Lin Qingyun's distinguished guest in Changle Terrace is difficult for ordinary people to enter, even if it is squandering, it depends on who squanders.

When night falls, the sound of millet gradually rises, the slender and soft tea girls are infinitely charming, they shuttle between the guests seated, smiling sweetly, reverie is infinite, and in the center of the dance floor seven or eight dancing fairies with slender waists, changing into a beautiful dance, of course, all this is just a backdrop.

Consciously or unconsciously, everyone glimpsed the shadow behind the pink thin curtain, the arm bend that only reflected the shadow or lightly picked up, or pressed slowly, and for some reason, they felt that there was a thin curtain separating them, which gave birth to a different kind of beauty.

Mei Chengtai sat in his position and shook his head for a while, and indirectly looked at the so-called prince of the Guogong Mansion that he looked down on.

"Xu Yande, Changletai is no less than five hundred taels of silver a night, you learn from my son to come every day, don't be punished by your own Lao Tzu when the time comes! Ha ha! ”

Beauty Current,

Xu Yande didn't give in, "Meifu is rich, and everyone knows it, but your mouth is full of copper when you open your mouth, but it's vulgar." ”

"Smack!" Mei Chengtai slapped the table, "What did you say?!" ”

"Don't argue, don't argue."

Between the two came a girl with a blush face and a bulging chest, and this little hand slapped falsely, so she said: "Today is Miss Lin's big day, the two sons should be patient, so as not to spoil the atmosphere here." ”

"Big day, what day?" Mei Chengtai asked malicefully.

"Don't worry, little grandfather, you'll find out in a moment."

So the few of them enjoyed a good time in the song and swallow dance of the warbler.

Until a certain zither note came to an abrupt end, everything stopped, the dancer withdrew, and the thin curtain was opened, revealing a white and translucent beauty.

As she took a few steps closer, the soft light fell on her, as if a faint halo of light was cast along her figure, and a seren, feminine aura permeated her.

She has a pair of large, deep, lake-like eyes, and a simple glance shines everywhere.

In particular, the slender waist of the satin corset only suddenly turns inward in the abdomen, forming an exaggerated arc.

This is the leading Oiran of Nagakutai.

Behind her, on the second floor, the owner of Changle Terrace also stared quietly.

"Qingyun, polite." The girl was slightly short, "For more than two years, Qingyun has been committed to Changletai, and she has been taken care of by you during this period, and she can only live so far as to be a cheap body, and the little woman is grateful!" But the wind and dust are not a woman's destination, and the fate of Qingyun and you can only stop today. ”

When she said this,

Mei Chengtai and Xu Yande immediately changed their faces,

Because they hadn't heard anything before.

"Wait a minute!" Mei Chengtai is the most anxious and bold, "I don't know where Miss Qingyun is going?" ”

"Little Grandpa Mei. The slave family is quiet by nature and does not want to be disturbed, so he asks the little grandfather not to force it. ”

Xu Yande patted the table and stood up, "I know, is it half a month ago, the scholar who wrote poems for you to see was going to take you away?" ”

Mei Chengtai also knew about this, and immediately shouted, "Lao Tzu go and find that person!" ”

……

……

Zhu Houzhao was on the other side, and he didn't know what was going on inside, but he suddenly felt that there was a mess in the entire Changle Stage.

The original music stopped, and the expressions of the people entering and leaving were no longer normal, and they didn't know what was going on inside.

He stepped away and looked at the window twice, and sure enough, someone entered quickly, and someone hurriedly went out.

"Wang Teng."

"The little ones are here!"

"This shouldn't be normal, right?"

Wang Teng bent down and walked a few more steps, he only glanced at it, and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, this is indeed an abnormal phenomenon, otherwise, let the little one find out the situation and report it again." ”

"No, your identity is also very sensitive, and it is inconvenient for you to show up. Let's take a look. I'm just curious about what kind of drama I can see today. ”

The words are not finished yet,

You Ji called him again, "Your Majesty, you see, it's the man just now." ”

Zhu Houzhao took a closer look, and it was indeed the middle-aged scholar he met at the Wenwei Hotel.

At this time, his hair was a little disheveled, probably for someone to beat, and there were two patrol officials with knives behind him, and then he pointed to the people inside, "Two officials, the person who beat me is inside!" ”

This stunned.

He was referring to the long music platform,

When the two officials looked at it, not only did they not go in, but they put a knife on him first, "Damn! Find us happy, right?! My two brothers are kind enough to think about your, are you trying to trick us?! ”

"Where is the pit for you? There are rules in the imperial court that you can't provoke and hurt people in the city that never sleeps, and now someone hurts me, if I don't look for you, who am I looking for?! ”

Zhu Houzhao watched this scene clearly, and he also understood the logic in the words of the two officials, that is, they couldn't offend the people in the Changle Stage.

Then he turned his head and glanced at Wang Teng, "I said that you were derelict in your duties, but did you say something wrong?" ”

Wang Teng now wants to die, "Your Majesty, a small capital crime, willing to accept the punishment!" ”

"Look again."

Things soon took a turn for the better, the three of them were pushing each other at the door, and there seemed to be a faint chaos inside the long music platform, and at a certain moment there was a loud 'bang' loud bang.

Then the crowd poured out of the doorway, accompanied by screams, "Murder! Killed! ”

"Your Majesty!" You Ji panicked, "Maybe there are assassins, let the slave and maid escort Your Majesty and go first." ”

And Zhu Houzhao's heart has sunk to the bottom, he didn't expect to come out to see these pictures after a trip.

Thinking about it carefully, what he heard was the absurd name left by the noble children in other people's mouths, and what he saw was extravagance, and this mess.

None of them have the style of the new era, and the coming and going is just luxury enjoyment and people's hearts.

"What's the panic? The dignified Duke Wang of the city that never sleeps is still here! ”

"Yes, the death of a small one will not disturb Your Majesty!"

"It's all nice, but if you see for yourself, doesn't that sound like a word?"

Of course, Wang Teng has no excuse, "The little self-aware crime is unforgivable, I just want to ask Your Majesty for permission, and I will come back to confess the crime after taking care of the current matter!" ”

"Someone's dead, go and see! I'm waiting for you here! ”

"Yes!"

While talking, Wang Tengfei also rushed out of the private room, the city that never sleeps is not big, and there are his people everywhere. And the screams here also attracted the nearby officials.

There were about dozens of people, and as soon as they saw him, they immediately approached him.

Wang Teng's sweat in it hadn't dried off yet, he didn't dare to be sloppy at all, and immediately ordered decisively, "Old Liu Tou, you are the most stable, you first lead someone to seal up this restaurant opposite Changle Terrace!" No one is allowed to approach! ”

Saying that, he leaned closer, "Especially on the second floor, don't bother, don't let anyone disturb, if there is an order to pass down, just listen, just do, don't ask more!" Got it? ”

Old Liu Tou had never seen Wang Teng so nervous, "Understand is understand." But Wang Tou'er...... You okay? ”

"Don't talk nonsense! Do it! ”

"Good!"

Wang Teng himself beckoned another person to call someone, and everyone called, and then he led the last dozen or so people into Changle Terrace.

As soon as he arrived, the people in the Changle Terrace seemed to be ready.

The proprietor, Bai Zhihui, came to greet him in person and stepped forward enthusiastically, "Wang Dugong is here, and he is not welcome!" ”

Wang Teng ignored him, and kept moving his hands, "Close the door, no one is allowed to leave!" In particular, those involved in the murder are not allowed to leave! Violators, no mercy!! ”

He shouted this sentence with all his might, and the momentum alone was different from usual.

Bai Zhihui was a little surprised, but he still laughed and said, "Duke Wang, sit down and drink tea to dissipate your anger first, and I will talk to you about the things here." How is it? ”

Wang Teng pushed him away with the other end of the sword against his chest, "You are here, this governor will look for you!" ”

This is strange, it is completely beyond Bai Zhihui's expectations, and the tone is also mentioned, "Lao Wang, what do you mean by this?" ”

Syllable!

Wang Teng personally slapped him, slapped others dizzy, and said viciously: "Lao Wang is also called by you?!" Tell you, if someone dies, no matter who is behind you, you can't get out of it! Bai Zhihui, you have crossed the line! ”

Bai Zhihui's mind was directly confused, this, what happened?

"I'm here! I'm here! I'm Mei Chengtai! ”

When this child saw someone from the government, he felt that it was his own.

Unexpectedly, Wang Teng just came to give a polite salute, "I've seen the little grandfather, it's good that the little grandfather is fine!" There has just been a death here, and the case is not closed, please don't leave for the time being. ”

"What did you say?!" Mei Chengtai was already frightened, and he looked a little angry at the moment, "Okay, you Wang Teng!" The majesty is on your grandfather and me! You get out of the way, Ben Gongzi is going home now! ”

"Not allowed!" Wang Teng shook his eyes angrily and shook off all his subordinates, "Everyone is not allowed to leave today!" ”

Bai Zhihui said: "Wang Dugong, have you eaten too much wine?!" Do you know what you're doing? ”

Wang Teng ignored him, only looked at his own people who came closer, and asked, "Who is the deceased?" ”

The subordinate's face was not easy, and he said, "It's an official." ”

"Fuck!" Wang Teng took a sip and couldn't help but scold, "Can you see who it is?" ”

"I don't know, but I asked, it's Wanhaiying, the Qing official of the household department in Shaanxi."

Although the official position is not big, it is an official of the imperial court, which is very fucking troublesome.

The emperor already felt that there was a mess here, how should he explain it now?

Wang Teng didn't say a word, turned around and grabbed Bai Zhihui's collar, "Say!" What the are you planning in the dark! ”

Bai Zhihui was knocked back a few steps, and his face turned a little red, "Duke Wang!" Sober up and see who I am! We are grasshoppers on a rope! ”

"I don't care how long you've been planning, how much you've planned, or how well you've planned. I tell you clearly, none of this works! ”

Bai Zhihui was let go, he straightened his clothes, "The matter has come out, just find a way to settle it." This is the city that never sleeps, your own place, and as for making you so flustered? ”

Wang Teng gasped, glanced at Mei Chengtai, who was still very unconvinced on the side, and said, "Little Master Mei, let people go to Meifu to spread the word, and ask Pinghaihou to come and pick you up." ”

Mei Chengtai shook his head desperately and said in horror: "You dare! How could my grandfather come to such a place?! ”

"If he doesn't come, no one will speak to you, and you will have to shed your skin if you don't die today."

Bai Zhihui was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "Duke Wang, what are you talking about?" ”

"As for you," Wang Teng looked at him with a dead man's eyes, "whoever you call will be skinned in the end." ”

At this moment, Bai Zhihui was a little uneasy, Wang Teng didn't drink, he didn't go crazy, and it had been a while since now.

Although I was a little uncomfortable at first, I have gradually come back to my senses.

Could it be that there is a link in this matter that he did not consider?

"Chief," the two officials approached, "let's take a look inside." ”

on the road

His subordinates said to him: "According to the description of the people tonight, the cause of the incident is that Lin Qingyun, the flower of Changletai, announced in public that he would redeem himself and marry someone, and the person he married was this person on the earth. ”

Wang Teng took a cursory look, with a long beard, a short figure, and a look in his fifties, but now his face is pale, there are wounds and blood stains on his stomach, and there are also a lot of them on the ground.

Lin Qingyun has many followers, and after she announced the news, all the guests who came to listen to the music tonight were furious, especially when they heard that the person she married was the bad old man Wan Haiying in the Shaanxi Qing official Shilang of the household department...... So there was a quarrel, and then the conflict escalated, and the scene was chaotic, and in this chaos, Wan Haiying was accidentally pierced through the abdomen with a sharp weapon and died. ”

Wang Teng's brows were tightly locked, "On the surface, it's true, but behind the scenes, it shouldn't be so simple." And just by explaining that we can't pay the difference, can it be said that it is manslaughter? What about the Oiran? ”

"In the next room."

Wang Teng got up and pushed the door in,

In the eyes was a beautiful woman who looked up in horror and shrunk her hands in front of her chest.

They know.

"Wang, Wang Dugong, the slave family has seen Wang Dugong, the deceased husband died tragically, please make the decision for the deceased husband!"

"You're married?"

The girl said: "Although he is not married, the slave family has decided to entrust him to him, and he should no longer have two hearts. ”

"The appearance of a chaste martyr in Changle Tai is also a miracle in the world. Ben asks you, "You are beside him, but do you see who stabbed you?" ”

The woman said: "The slave family has a grudge against the murderer, and he can't wait to get rid of it quickly, so naturally he will not shield the murderer." But the slave family had to tell the truth, the situation was chaotic at that time, and the slave family really didn't see it clearly. ”

"Whoever brings a knife can always see clearly, right?"

"No one carries a knife."

"But there's a knife on the scene."

"That's what it was supposed to be."

"So who made the first move?"

Lin Qingyun thought for a while, "It should be ...... It's the little grandfather of Mei Mansion! ”

Wang Teng paused,

This means of killing people is clever,

Now I can't find the murderer, like a chaotic manslaughter,

Even if you want to check, everything points to Mei Chengtai first, he is the third generation of Meifu, and the incense of the emperor's father-in-law depends on him. So if the movement is big, it will soon hit the ceiling, and this thing will be pressed down.

In this way, the case cannot be investigated at all, and in the end it is a confused account, and it is handled casually.

"Look after her."

Wang Teng turned around and left, he had a preliminary understanding, no matter what, he had to report the current situation to that person first, and he couldn't make people wait.

After arriving outside, he glanced at Bai Zhihui again, this guy is quite calm, maybe he is confident.

"Wang Du," the man stepped forward, "can you get something?" ”

Wang Teng thought that he hadn't heard him speak well tonight, so it was better to look at his intentions, "You know the rules of the city that never sleeps, this governor is in charge of this place, the number one in Tianzi is that nothing can happen, and now that a court official has died, you still dare to be close to this governor?" Tell you, the above blame down, before I die, I must pull you back! ”

"In the next cheap life, if it's gone, it's gone. However, Wang Dugong can't be wronged, tonight's incident was not expected in Xia, the sudden accident was unguardable, and he didn't mean to cause trouble to Wang Du. ”

"Bai Zhihui, don't you have a close relationship with the Mei Mansion? Use the little grandfather as a shield, can you make a difference afterwards? ”

"Wang Du didn't understand what he said."

Wang Tengxin said, could it be that this guy and Mei Huaigu are actually not so close?

"Okay, so how do you want to end up?"

Bai Zhihui arched his hand, "Of course, I ask Wang Du to investigate in detail, and when the truth is announced to the public, it is good to return Changletai to a clean house!" ”

Wang Teng's brows furrowed,

Sure enough,

This guy just made up his mind, and this case can't be investigated at all according to the current pattern.

Under this premise, if he relies on his own relationship to dredge up, the matter will soon settle down, at least it has nothing to do with him.

After all, the chaos is from Mei Chengtai,

And he loves Lin Qingyun, so he also has this motive, plus he usually has no good name, and the young man is angry for a while, this reason is indeed tenable.

But......

Wang Teng said: "Bai Zhihui, no matter how smart you are, this matter may have miscalculated." After all, being smart is useless in the face of power. You think you're all right, but you're a businessman after all, and the politics of the court in your mind are all you've heard or imagined, and you never know how power is really used. ”

Bai Zhihui blinked, "Please make it clear to Duke Wang." ”

"You don't know how much effort the emperor has put into ensuring the safety of the city that never sleeps, an official of the imperial court died here, have you really thought about its impact?"

Perhaps it is because the nobles are unruly here, and the officials do not do justice much, and as for the time being, people gradually forget some important things, thinking that they can act recklessly by applying the rules in the dark.

After Wang Teng finished speaking, he left, leaving only a cold sentence:

"Ben Governor tells you, if this case is really not solved in the end, it is that all of you will be buried with you!"

Power has only a purpose, there is no right or wrong.

If something like this happens in the city that never sleeps, it just won't work.
