Chapter 62: Caught on the street
It wasn't until Jia Luoxi urged her to leave quickly that she walked out of Wanhualou almost sleepwalking.
She could never forget the glance that Butterfly Dance glanced at her as she passed by.
In that eye, there was too much hatred and resentment.
Shen Jiangge didn't know why this woman who looked like Zhou Ruoxi appeared here, and she didn't know why that glance was, she only knew that her palms had oozed a fine cold sweat.
"Thank goodness we're all okay, all right."
Jia Luoxi took a long breath, looked at Shen Jiangge with a pale face and said, "Grandma, the moment you poured wine just now, my heart was about to jump out. Do you know who that person is? It's Ji Han, the second prince of Sheng Qin! If it weren't for Butterfly Dance to save the scene, I'm afraid we would all have to die in this Wanhua Building......"
Shen Jiangge frowned slightly after hearing this, and asked rhetorically, "Do you know that girl named Butterfly Dance?" β
"This butterfly dance girl is the top brand of Wanhualou, she has made a name for herself within a month of coming to the capital, not only is she beautiful and pleasing people, but she is also talented...... It is said that the prince also came to order her in plain clothes a few days ago. This second prince loves her in every way, if it weren't for her status as a prostitute, I'm afraid she would have been accepted into the mansion long ago. β
Jia Luoxi talked about this butterfly dance endlessly, as if he had known each other for many years.
"I didn't expect Brother Luoxi to have a wide range of connections, it seems that there are some things that I still have to ask you to have an eyebrow."
Shen Jiangge nodded slightly, then lowered his head and said, "I'm really sorry for causing trouble to Brother Luoxi this time." β
Jia Luoxi laughed when he heard this, then waved his hand and shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just want to get acquainted with Lord Xiangguo through him, and then ask Lord Xiangguo to buy an official by the way...... Out of the way, out of the way. A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. β
"Lord Xiangguo? Selling officials? β
Li Wen was very surprised to hear this, and he asked in disbelief.
"Shhhh At first glance, you are not from the capital. It is already an open secret in the capital that this Xiangguo lord sells officials to subsidize the state treasury. But if you have a little family background, as long as you give a satisfactory price to Lord Xiangguo, it is not difficult to get an official and a half-job. β
Jia Luoxi lowered his voice and whispered.
"So ridiculous! Isn't he afraid that the emperor will know about this? β
Li Wen was annoyed when he remembered the previous incident of seeking fame and fame, dare to love that there is still this layer of connotation in this?
"Do you think the emperor doesn't know? There is Lin Guifei blowing the wind on the pillow in the emperor's place, and the emperor is estimated to have turned a blind eye, otherwise he would not have been investigated earlier? β
Jia Luoxi glanced at Li Wen, shook his head again, patted Li Wen's shoulder and sighed, "Brother Li, you are still too naΓ―ve. β
Gu Qian listened silently on the sidelines, he saw that Shen Jiangge seemed to be very concerned about the matter of the butterfly dance, and saw that Jia Luoxi was very knowledgeable, so he asked, "You just said that the butterfly dance girl has only been in the capital for less than a month?" So where was she originally from? And what does it do? β
Jia Luoxi scratched his head, smiled embarrassedly, and then said, "Don't hide it from Brother Gu, I have also been curious and inquired about this matter." But the strange thing is that no matter how you inquire, the people in Wanhualou said that they didn't know the origin of this butterfly dancing girl, you say, isn't this strange? β
Shen Jiangge frowned after hearing this.
"I don't know where it came from...... I arrived in the capital a month ago...... was favored by the crown prince and the second prince at the same time......"
Shen Jiangge always felt that there was something wrong here, but she couldn't tell what was wrong here.
"There was a false alarm just now, let's go back to the Star Tower."
Jia Luoxi just smiled and beckoned the three of them to leave, but turned around and bumped into a sturdy armor.
He turned his head to look, only to see Ma'an appear in front of him with a team of Imperial Guards.
"Master Ma! Are you on an errand today? β
Jia Luoxi saw Ma An looking at the three people behind him with a straight face, and asked intentionally.
Ma An just glanced at him, and then glanced at his Imperial Guards.
"Brush-" After the sound of the Royal Forest Army's footsteps scattering, several people were surrounded.
Shen Jiangge secretly held the knife in his hand, and at the same time, she also heard the sound of Gu Qian clenching the hidden sword on his cuffs.
When Jia Luoxi saw this scene, a smile froze on his face.
He coughed twice, then looked at Ma An and asked, "Master Ma, what does this mean?" β
"Someone came to sue the prince's horse that was shocked by these three people. The prince's safety is at stake, and the official has to bring someone back for interrogation. β
Ma An swept towards Shen Jiangge and the three of them expressionlessly, then his eyes fell on Jia Luoxi's body, and said lightly: "Although the Jia family is rich and rivals the country, I advise Jia Gongzi to stay away from these three people, lest your old father have to ransom you with a lot of money." β
Jia Luoxi's face sank, and he already had a look of displeasure.
When he wanted to say something, Shen Jiangge had already sneered behind him and snorted: "The Imperial Forest Army arrested innocent people on the street just based on one person's report, and this is tied back, I'm afraid that nothing will be interrogated and found out, right?" β
Ma An also looked up at Shen Jiangge, and he said solemnly: "The Imperial Forest Army has always done business, if it is found to be related, it will naturally be convicted, and if it has nothing to do with this matter, it will definitely not wronged a good person." β
"Oh? Why should I believe you? When you get to prison, you have a lot of torture tools and a lot of methods, don't you? β
Shen Jiang Ge smiled, and the knife hidden in the cuff was ready to be shot.
"Since the Imperial Forest Army is responsible for the security of the Imperial City, it naturally does not allow people with intentions to be presumptuous at the feet of the Son of Heaven. As for whether you believe it or not, or whether you go or not, you can't decide. β
As soon as Ma An raised his hand, he was about to give the order to arrest him, but he heard a voice behind him, "Master Ma, slow down." βγ
Ma An turned around suspiciously, only to see Qi Ge's figure appear behind him.
And on the carriage behind Qi Ge, a pair of slender hands slowly lifted the curtain, and Ji Yuhan's long figure appeared like a pine.
Shen Jiangge's eyes lit up, he subconsciously held his breath, quickly lowered his head, and blushed and didn't dare to look at him again.
And Ji Yuhan glanced at her through the crowd, and a shallow smile like a spring breeze on his lips was as intoxicating as a thousand-year-old wine.
He slowly got out of the carriage and said to Ma An: "Master Ma, I don't know who this whistleblower is?" Can there be a note or a piece of paper left? β
"That's right, Sheng Qin has a clear rule that you can't arrest people for no reason and go back for interrogation."
Jia Luoxi on the side was very righteous, and when he saw that someone was helping Shen Jiangge them, he was busy coaxing and said.
He coaxed together, and the people around him were all talking about it, and some of the brave ones followed suit.
As soon as Ma An saw that it was Ji Yuhan, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Back to the words of the third prince, that person came in a hurry, and this note and pleadings did not leave ......"
"Since there is no evidence, and Master Ma is suspicious of these three people, it is better to do this. If Lord Ma is relieved, how about these three people come to interrogate them? β
Ji Yuhan looked at Ma An with a smile all the time and said like this.
