Chapter Twenty-Eight: Mrs. Du

In the backyard of Changle Fang, the owner put down the bead curtain and sat on the ground.

Obviously, the front yard is a gambling house with a smell of wine and meat, and the backyard is decorated with extraordinarily elegant, the owner fiddles with the tea set, beckons the three of them to sit down, covers his mouth and smiles: "I just said how Yan Gongzi has time to come to Changle Fang to sit for a while this time, it turns out that there is really something important to happen!"

Her slender eyes have a woman-like charm, but more of it comes from the elegance of a man, and when she heard the three words of Yan Gongzi, Xiao Qianye already understood most of it.

"Take off your mask and show your true face, I am not your enemy. The owner of the workshop was squeamish, handed the tea to the three of them, and Xiao Qianye said straight to the point, "Since Yan Gongzi has come over, the owner might as well tell me everything he knows." ”

"What do you want to know?" she didn't answer.

"Childe asked something, I just wanted to know something. He took the tea handed over by the owner, blew lightly, and said suddenly, "What shall I call you......?" Or sir?"

"Huh. The owner laughed, "Then call me Mrs. Du, after all, everyone here calls me that." ”

"Du?" he paused, remembered something, and his eyes changed, "Is it the Du family in the Great Oblivion City?"

"Yike...... There has been no Du family in the Great Oblivion City for a long time, and the military pavilion master has misremembered. She just shook her head casually, as if it had nothing to do with her.

"That's my mouth. Xiao Qianye also didn't continue to ask deeply, and pointed to the tall building not far away, "According to the regulations, the infield will only be open when the infield is important, is there a way for Madame to let me in early?"

"It can't be helped. She sighed, she had already guessed the other party's purpose, "If it had been before, I could have taken you in early, but now I can't, the new master, I can't figure it out, and now I don't even know if someone is a man or a woman." ”

"That person has never shown his face?" Xiao Qianye looked at her in surprise, Mrs. Du swept over the tall building, and there was a chill in her eyes," The mirage is not as troublesome as the imperial capital, and it depends on the status and status, and it depends on the knowledge and ability, as long as it can make the giant ao under his feet obedient, anyone can become its new owner, the old owner died after the person came, I also saw it from a distance at that time, the person stood on the top of the building, and I don't know if it was too far away or deliberately covered up the figure, anyway, the appearance is not clear at all, and then the giant ao let out a roar, recognized the person as the new owner. ”

"That's it?" Obviously taken aback by this too casual way of taking over, Xiao Qianye asked in disbelief, and Mrs. Du snorted coldly, "Otherwise, what else do you want?" The mirage is on Juao's back, and who else can object if Juao agrees?"

"After that, the new owner never came out of that building. Mrs. Du took a sip of tea, and she felt strange, "According to the practice of previous years, if you want to set up a stall in the sea market to do business, you have to take some benefits and bribes, but the new person doesn't seem to be interested in money and beauty at all, and the beauties who sent them over are all turned away, and all the girls who served before have been driven out, and now the new owner of the top floor is alone, and no one has ever entered it." ”

"That's right, and the landlord never needs to eat, and he doesn't need to go to the toilet, so he doesn't know what he's doing in it every day!" Bai Xiaocha couldn't help but lean over and talked about the strange things he had seen over the years, "Let me tell you, when Haishi just changed owners, a curious girl took a plate of fruit and wanted to sneak in to take a look, guess what?"

"Dead, right?" Mrs. Du was not surprised at all, Bai Xiaocha nodded hurriedly, "That girl and I still know each other, and then I went to see her, and found that she didn't have a whole piece of flesh and skin on her body, and her blood was emptied, and no one dared to approach the top floor since then." ”

"I'm not interested in anything...... Then why did he take over Haishi?" Xiao Qianye frowned and thought, Mrs. Du chuckled, "I heard Yan Gongzi say this sentence once not long ago, by the way, Yan Gongzi brought a person who looks exactly like you, who is that?"

"Who else can be exactly the same?" Xiao Qianye asked rhetorically, Mrs. Du raised her eyebrows, and teased, "That's how rare and strange I am, it's been almost forty years since I came to Haishi, and I really don't care much about what happens on land, but I still want to remind you that the rules of Haishi are different from the imperial capital, in case you anger the landlord, Juao sinks directly into the sea, and you don't even have a chance to escape...... Hey, that's it, for the sake of you being Gongzi's colleagues, you have put this thing away, maybe it will be useful. ”

She took out a delicate brocade box from her sleeve and gently pushed it in front of Xiao Qianye.

"What is this?" Bai Xiaocha opened it curiously and found that there were a few pills inside.

"It's a water pill, if you accidentally fall into the sea, you can hold it in your mouth for a while, and you won't drown. ”

"Such a magical thing?" Bai Xiaocha widened her eyes, looked at Xiao Qianye carefully, and asked a little unconfidently, "Can you keep one for me?"

"This thing can be sold for a thousand taels of silver on the shore, but it makes Madame break the bank. Xiao Qianye ignored her, just took one and handed it to Yun Xiao.

Since the trade along the coast began to be severely restricted, this kind of smuggler and stowaway's favorite thing has become popular in Feiyuan, after all, the Biluo sea is full of dangers, and the more prepared you are, the more you will live.

In fact, the reason why this kind of medicine, which seems to exist for smuggling, can circulate unscrupulously in Feiyuan is also because Yan Gongzi's Mirror Pavilion controls the trade of the whole Feiyuan, and Yan Gongzi actually doesn't care about this kind of thing when officials and businessmen collude.

"The Gongsun family has been kind to me, and I have been able to open a gambling house to make some money with peace of mind over the years, and I have relied on Yan Gongzi to make a lot of money, which is nothing. Although she said this, she sighed gloomily in her heart - it seems that this Changle Fang can't be opened, this year's mirage can alarm the Mirror Pavilion and the Military Pavilion at the same time, but I am afraid that there is a greater crisis behind this!

"Since Madame can't help it, then we won't bother much. Xiao Qianye put away the brocade box, although he was very disgusted, he still threw one from it to Bai Xiaocha.

"Hey, don't you want that even the golden mud?" Bai Xiaocha put away the water repellency pill and asked.

"Do you want to even the golden mud?" Mrs. Du continued, "I haven't been back to Yangchuan for many years, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you." ”

"Forget it if you don't, just bring some next time I pass by, don't bother Madame. Xiao Qianye politely bowed his hand.

"Then I won't send it. Mrs. Du didn't raise her eyes, and after a while, after confirming that all three of them had left, she suddenly jumped up, ripped off her complicated coat, and rushed into the room to start packing her luggage!

Anyway, the new landlord is also a soft and hard master, and she will not be able to reap more benefits if she continues to stay in this mirage, so it is better to leave quickly while there is no major incident!

"Owner, owner, what are you doing?" Seeing her hurried appearance, the personal maid on the side was also panicked, Mrs. Du hit her hard, and said angrily, "Are you blind? Why don't you come over and help clean it up!" If you have more gold, silver and jewelry, don't want it if it's too heavy, take advantage of the fact that Juao hasn't gone too far, take a water pill and hurry with me!"

"Where are you going?" asked the little maid hurriedly as she helped tidy up.

Mrs. Du buried her head in her things, her face pale.

When Gongsun Yan came to her to ask about the new landlord, she felt that something was wrong, and she didn't expect that Xiao Qianye, the master of the military pavilion, would come after a while!

Originally, the old landlord died strangely, and this newcomer must not be a good master!

"Owner's ......"

"Where did the dead girl get so much nonsense!" she was annoyed by the maid's chattering questions, and turned her head and slapped her, "I'm saving your life! If you don't want to die, hurry up and be quick with your hands and feet, and then take out the water boat in the warehouse to see if the water film is broken, if it is not broken, get it to Aowei Harbor to prepare, I can't wait for a moment!"

"I know I'll go!" The little girl was slapped by her and her eyes were golden, and she didn't dare to say more.

Out of Changle Fang, Xiao Qianye stopped and glanced back inexplicably.

The Du family in the Great Oblivion City originally started as a gambling house business, and once relied on the power of the family to turn the ancient capital of the Great Annihilation City into a gambling city, and the biggest backer behind the Du family was the richest man in Feiyuan back then.

After Emperor Tianquan succeeded to the throne, he ordered the famous nobles of the four major cities around the city to move to Tianyu City, and built many mansions on the periphery of the imperial city for them to live in, but this bold Du family was reluctant to give up those hundreds of gambling houses, after all, they were all white money! They refused Emperor Tianquan's invitation under the pretext of missing their hometown, but no one thought that what they were waiting for was not Emperor Tianquan's amnesty, but a killing order, and they were all copied and beheaded to set an example!

It is precisely because of this kind of behavior of killing chickens and making an example of monkeys that other powerful people completely broke off their hearts to stay in their hometowns, and all of them honestly moved into the imperial capital.

The Gongsun family also moved from the East to the past at that time, thirty-six years have passed, the richest man in Feiyuan has become the head of the three magnates, Gongsun is the minister of the left who holds a lot of power, Gongsun Yan even became the pavilion master of the mirror pavilion, and the Du family has already been defeated, and can only continue to live in the gray area of the mirage, which is neither male nor female.

"Hey......" he sighed in embarrassment, his eyes were in a trance-this is the consequence of disobeying the Emperor of Heavenly Power, if he really promised His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to become a member of the Wind Demon, would one day the Heavenly Expedition Mansion also end up like this?

He pressed his head, another familiar headache.

"Hey, hey, hey, look there......" Before he could come back to his senses, Bai Xiaocha's sharp voice sounded again, "Oiran parade has begun!"

"You're back!" Seeing that she was excited and about to pounce, Xiao Qianye pulled her back and said in annoyance, "I'm not here to play, don't make trouble for me!"

"But those are the most precious alien races in the streets! There are so many rare races!" Bai Xiaocha did not give up, tried to break his hand, and rushed to the front with one arrow step, stepping into it.

I saw a row of people walking together on the flower street not far away, although they looked different, they were all gorgeously dressed and graceful, which attracted the onlookers to shout.

"Ah Xiao, stay away...... Xiao Qianye's eyes sank, and she saw Yun Xiao clutching her chest, as if she was having trouble breathing.

"What's wrong with you?" he nervously helped Yun Xiao to hide behind the crowd, and found that her palms were hot and her skin was burning red!

"Those people...... I-I'm ......" she barely held out a finger to point at the oirans in the streets, her pupils already dilated, "I remember the breath...... They all died, committed suicide, hundreds of thousands of people...... All dead......"

"What's all dead?" Xiao Qianye was confused when he heard this, and at this moment, a snow-colored white dress appeared beside him, Xiao Yibai appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Xiao Qianye, and said in a low voice, "Follow me." ”
