Chapter 70: The Demon Cave

Madame Wei turned her gaze to Mo Yunxiao and asked, "Helu, do you still believe in King Jian at this moment?" Mo Yunxiao didn't seem to hear her words, but kept chanting: "What Zhao Ji said is true...... Zhao Ji is true......"

At this moment, she was like falling into an ice cave. Her hairs stood on end, and a layer of goosebumps was visible to the naked eye. She kept babbling like a dream, and of course Mrs. Wei could understand it, and she also understood her mood at the moment.

"Helu, now that you know the truth, what are you going to do next?" Mrs. Wei asked.

Mo Yunxiao raised her pale face to look at her, and said in a very weak but approving tone, "I want to go back." ”

Mrs. Wei was in a hurry, and hurriedly took her hand and said, "Do you know that King Jian's Mansion is the Longtan Tiger's Den and you want to break in?" ”

"That's why I'm going back." Mo Yunxiao said: "I was deceived by that guy, but fortunately I was safe. But Huan'er is still trapped inside, and if I don't save her, I really can't feel at ease. ”

"If you want to save people, you have to think in the long run, you must not be reckless, otherwise Huan'er will not be rescued, and you will get in yourself." Mrs. Wei said so.

When the woman saw that they were talking to me, and although she did not understand the cause and effect, she probably guessed their situation, so she said, "Two ladies, please listen to the clumsy woman." ”

The two of them really stopped, and Qi Qi set his eyes on the woman. The woman sighed before she said, "Since my man died, all I have been thinking about day and night is revenge. But after all, King Jian is a member of the royal family, and I don't know what to do as an ordinary village woman. It's nice to see the two ladies today, and I have hope. Although I can't be a hero like Nie Yinniang like my mother, I can help a little. ”

The spirits of the two were really lifted. Mrs. Wei squatted down and asked her, "Old sister-in-law, do you have any clever plans?" ”

The woman smiled faintly and said, "I'm not a military advisor, so what's the trick." However, I know that the person surnamed Chu has been very restless in recent days, and the person who came to his house was not Zhang Xianggong, it was Zhang's shopkeeper, and there was something Yuhou, surnamed Qiu. Oh yes, there's another one, surnamed Wan, who I heard said was the head of the Canal Groove Gang. ”

Mo Yunxiao nodded, and said to Mrs. Wei: "We all know these people, Zhang Xianggong is Zhang Dan, and Zhang's shopkeeper is his brother Zhang Chun, as well as Qiu Feng and Wan Nailin. Hum! A raccoon dog, not a good thing! ”

The woman continued: "We are his tenants, so we know better. It seems to have heard that Chu Yuanwai wants to give half of the industry to Zhang Xianggong. ”

"Oh? Why is that? Mrs. Wei was a little puzzled. But the woman also shook her head slightly, not knowing why.

Mo Yunxiao thought about it for a while, and then said, "I probably know that the surname Chu is to be an angel investor for King Jian." ”

Both Mrs. Wei and the woman looked confused. "What is an 'angel investor'?"

Mo Yunxiao simply squatted down, raised two fists and said, "Although the current court is calm, there is actually an undercurrent. Jade as you see, the official family, Zeng Shumi, and Empress Dowager Xiang are my right hand, and the cadres of King Jian, Zhang Dian, and Qiu Feng are my left hand. The left hand wants to take the right hand, but they are not completely sure, so they need to pull people onto the boat. And this person on the boat is Chu Yuanwai. King Jian wants to seize the throne, and Chu Yuanwai also wants to get involved in the court, which can be said to take what they need. ”

Mrs. Wei and the woman glanced at each other, and they both read a little ignorance in each other's eyes. Mrs. Wei frowned and thought for a long time before she said, "King Jian is indeed absurd and ferocious, but does he dare to rebel?" I'm afraid this is too bizarre. ”

Mo Yunxiao shook his head and said, "King Jian does have this intention. I had heard with my own ears that he was plotting with Liu Dadao, the leader of the beggar gang. It's just that maybe it's a trick. Liu Dadao was deceived by him. The power he really wanted to use was not the beggars, but the trough gang. ”

"Why?" Mrs. Wei asked again.

"First, the Cao Gang has the support of Zhang. Zhang Dian was the prime minister of the dynasty and held a high position. King Jian used the Cao Gang, which was equivalent to using Zhang Dian. He won't fail to do such a cheap deal. Mo Yunxiao talked eloquently: "Second, the Cao Gang has lived in Tokyo for generations, and the chain of interests is intertwined. This is not something that can be easily overturned. And Liu Dadao and they want to share the profits from the benefits of the canal, if King Jian cooperates with the beggar gang, it will inevitably cause extraneous branches and hinder the interests of many people. ”

"In that case, why did he pretend to cooperate with Liu Dadao?" Mrs. Wei continued to ask.

Mo Yunxiao said: "This is also easy to explain. First, you can explore the bottom, use it if you can use it, and discard it if you can't use it; Second, you can also take the opportunity to stabilize them, and prevent them from making trouble with themselves when they do things themselves. ”

Mrs. Wei thought about it for a while, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Okay, my Helu, it's really a wise and brave female Zhuge . How did you come up with these ideas? ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled helplessly, stood up and said, "Originally, I also had a lot of things that I couldn't figure out. I don't believe that King Jian would murder the officials; I don't believe that he is such a despicable character. Because my intellect is trapped by emotions, I can't figure out a lot of things. But now that I have broken free from my love for him, I am as clear and clear as I am to see a fish in clear water. ”

Mrs. Wei also smiled with relief and said, "Helu, you finally understand. So what do you do next? ”

Mo Yun suddenly stood still, turned around and said, "I'm going to meet Wan Nailin for a while." ”

"Oh? Why don't you go directly to Chu Yuanwai, aren't you related to him? Mrs. Wei asked.

Mo Yunxiao shook his head with a smile and said, "The surname Chu is just a chess piece in the hands of Zhang Dian, and Zhang Xuan is the real right-hand man of King Jian." Let's fight the snake and hit the seven inches, and the seven inches of Zhang Dian are Wan Nailin. ”

The woman immediately said, "Wan Nailin has a place outside the city, it's just ...... It's a pickled place, and the two ladies are only afraid of ......"

Mo Yunxiao smiled slightly and said, "'Ghost Fan Tower', I know." I'm going to take a look around that place. ”

When the woman heard this, she couldn't help but change color, her face turned red with shame, and at the same time she showed a very terrifying expression.

Mrs. Wei hurriedly persuaded her, saying, "Old sister-in-law, don't panic, my female brother is this temperament, a natural living yaksha, a female Yama." You don't have to take it personally. ”

The woman was even more surprised, looked at Mo Yunxiao, and said, "Could it be that this lady is the 'female Yama' Mo Yunxiao in Tokyo?" ”

Mo Yunxiao nodded proudly and said, "It's me." ”

"Ahh The old woman was so clumsy that she didn't recognize the nobleman. The woman hurriedly bowed down and said, "In this case, the old woman dares to ask Mrs. Mo to avenge my husband!" As she spoke, she slammed her head down.

Mo Yunxiao hurriedly held her up and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is not polite. Do you know who this lady is with me? She is Zeng's mother-in-law, Wei Yuru. The two of us will take care of this matter, so you can rest assured. ”

The woman was so excited that tears rained down, and she also bowed to Mrs. Wei a few times, and kept chanting: "Please...... Please......"

After bidding farewell to the woman, they each rode away on their horses. "Ghost Fan Building" was opened at night, so it got the word "ghost". However, it would be too conspicuous for the two noblewomen to go to a place like that, so they decided to change to men's clothes.

It's just that at this time, the sky is already bright, and if you go back to the city and change your clothes, it will inevitably attract King Jian's eyeliner. So they went straight to the nearby county town and bought cloth to tailor their clothes, so that they could put them on as soon as it was dark. After changing into men's clothes, they recuperated their energy, and took advantage of the hazy night to ride straight to the "Ghost Fan Tower".

This ghost fan tower is near a broken bridge on the outskirts of Tokyo, the bridge is used as a roof, and the surrounding area is surrounded by straw mats and mud, forming a large field, although it is not as tall and majestic as the real fan tower, but it is also connected like stars in this dark night. When you get closer, the people inside are drinking and laughing, and you can clearly distinguish the dice and hulu.

Two sturdy men with a bright knife in each hand stood on either side of the gate. They were naked, with no more than coarse cloth trousers, and a pair of straw sandals on their feet, typical of groove tops.

At this time, two young men walked over, they were dressed in long robes, wearing square scarves, and white clothes fluttering, full of elegance. Looking at their appearances again, one of them cranked a folding fan and smiled slightly. He is tall and has a very handsome face. And the other, although he was extravagant and extremely elegant in his gestures, was inferior to his companion in appearance. The one who shook the fan was Mo Yunxiao, and the one next to him was Mrs. Wei.

Mo Yunxiao imitated Zhao Ji's demeanor and demeanor, came to the two gatekeepers and hugged his hand, and said: "In Xia Moda, I specially invited my friends from other places to come to Ghost Fan Lou to have fun, and I also asked the two little brothers to give it a convenience." ”

The two men looked at the two of them, and one of them said: "There are Qinglou Flower Street in Nanqu and Beiqu in Zhen'anfang in the city, and the two of them are like scholars, but they don't go to that elegant place, so why bother to come to this filthy place." ”

Mo Yunxiao laughed and said, "Don't hide it, my friend is from Jiangnan, Jiangnan is beautiful, what kind of brothel can't be found?" If you come to Tokyo and see and hear the same as Jiangnan, wouldn't it be worth the trip? The younger brother once boasted to his friends, saying that this ghost Fan Tower is the happiest place in the world, and Jiangnan will never have it. He was willing to go through this with his younger brother. ”

"Let me go...... Let go of me......" The cries of several women were heard in the distance, from far to near, one after another. When the two looked back, they saw seven or eight big men each carrying a sack and walking inside, and the woman in the sack was struggling and crying but to no avail.

Seeing this scene, Mo Yunxiao's face turned red. She instinctively turned her face away, and her heart was beating wildly. And Mrs. Wei glared angrily, with a look of indignation.

The two janitors laughed, and one of them said, "What? Haven't seen it, have you? That's how the girls in the Ghost Fan Building came. What we did was to hurt the heavens and reason, the two of them were reading the books of the sages, and they insulted the saints, and they said that they should go quickly. ”

"Hahaha, the overlord is the bow, it's really interesting, the master has also worn thousands of flowers in Jiangnan, but he has never found such fun." Mrs. Wei suddenly said to Mo Yunxiao: "This ghost fan building is much more interesting than the real fan building. ”

"Really? Brother Wei likes it. Mo Yunxiao responded a few times in embarrassment, and then said to the two gatekeepers: "This friend of the younger brother is a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan, and he has a lot of money." Do you really want to turn away the God of Wealth from the door? ”

"This ......" the two hesitated, looked at each other, and made a look at each other, and one of them said, "It's okay to let you in, but you have to pay for the journey." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, making it clear that he was asking for money.

Mrs. Wei smiled, took out a handsome card from her wide sleeve, and said, "Fifty yuan is not a tribute." ”

The two of them took the hand over and looked at it, and sure enough, it was a denomination of fifty yuan, and their eyes were straight. Most of the people entertained by this ghost fan building are low-level people such as slender men, farmers, and ruffians and hooligans, who has such a big hand.

They took the handover, and sure enough, they changed their faces, and immediately asked with a smile: "I don't know the names of the two distinguished guests." ”

"You don't have to remember the name, my surname is Mo, and this uncle's surname is Wei." Mo Yunxiao said.

"Derre!" The two gatekeepers immediately shouted, "Wei Ye and Mo Ye are here!" Waiting inside! ”

Mo Yunxiao and Mrs. Wei looked at each other and smiled, and then they both stepped into the bamboo-woven gate of the Ghost Fan Tower.

The lobby of the Ghost Fan Building is a circular open field, surrounded by a circle of steps, and countless tables are placed under the steps, in the center of the circular field. Kerosene lamps and candles are lit all around, and the entire lobby is brightly lit.

There are three smaller gates on the opposite side of the gate, and I don't know where they lead. There is also a staircase on the lobby side that leads to the various private rooms on the second floor. Some of those rooms were lit, some were dark.

As soon as Mo Yunxiao and Mrs. Wei came in, they smelled a foul smell. A drunk man rushed towards him and almost knocked Mo Yunxiao down, but fortunately, a small guy hurriedly held him up and pulled him to the other side to vomit.

In the lobby, countless male guests were drinking and shaking the dice, shouting loudly. The women were disheveled, some with their thighs exposed, some with their upper bodies exposed, snuggling up to the men with the same flirtatious smiles.

Seeing this, Mo Yunxiao felt sick to her stomach. She could only cover her nose with a folding fan, trying not to smell the mixed smell of alcohol and the smell of women's incense powder.

"It's really different, and I've gained knowledge." Mrs. Wei whispered to Mo Yunxiao.

Mo Yunxiao smiled bitterly and said, "I regret coming to the Ghost Fan Tower. ”

At this time, a camel with a rich bag came to meet him, and said with a smile: "Look at the two sons are the first time to come to our ghost fan building, can the little one lead the way for you?" ”

Mo Yunxiao hugged her fists and saluted, "There is labor." ”

The camel turned around, poked his two fingers between his lips, let out an extremely sharp whistle, and then shouted: "The girls who have not followed the guests come out, let Mo Gongzi and Wei Gongzi take a look!" ”

So, more than 20 women stepped from the upstairs room with a smile and stood in front of Mo Yunxiao and Mrs. Wei in two columns.
