Chapter 46 On the Qinhuai River

Looking further into the house, I saw several corpses covered in white cloth neatly placed on an earthen platform in the middle of the room, and the room was surrounded by huge ice cubes used to chill it.

It turns out that this is a collection room, no wonder it is so deserted! Zhao Weiming said in his heart. At this time, it was late autumn, and the night was a little cold, and the inside of the room was even more eerie and gloomy.

Although Zhao Weiming is a person who does not believe in ghosts and gods, he can't help but shudder in his heart at this time. When he was young, Ye Xiao lifted the white cloth on the face of the corpse and introduced Zhao Weiming one by one: "This is King Duan, this is the princess;

After Zhao Weiming looked at them one by one, he didn't see the slightest clue. Frowning and about to ask a question, Ye Xiao untied Duan Wang's shirt.

I saw a depression in the chest of the corpse. Then I unlocked the others to check, and they all turned out to be like this.

'This is the Tianshan Six Yang Palm,' Ye Xiao said softly. Zhao Weiming was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned his head to stare at Ye Xiao. As if to see the answer in his face.

When he was young, Ye Xiao frowned again and said, "It's just that the second elder of the Tianshan Mountains who used this way palm technique has already retired to the world for many years, how could he come thousands of miles away to kill Duanwang's family at this moment?"

It's really incomprehensible!' Although Zhao Weiming was also incomprehensible, when he heard the second elder of Tianshan, he couldn't help but move in his heart.

Just as he was about to speak, Ye Xiao suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Hurry up!" After speaking, he pulled Zhao Weiming out of the door.

After galloping all the way, the two of them came to a forest outside the city before they stood still. When I asked Ye Xiao, I knew that he had received the news of the murder of Duanwang's family as early as two months ago and immediately rushed here to investigate.

When asked Zhao Weiming about the reason for this, Zhao Weiming told Ye Xiao a little about the fact that he had recognized his ancestors in the palace and returned to his ancestors, and now he was no longer called Wang Yuanheng, and then received the order of Renzong to come to investigate.

After listening, Ye Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The son's recognition of his ancestors and his return to the ancestors have long been expected by my father;

Zhao Weiming hurriedly gave a deep salute and said, "My family's affairs, senior Lao is bothered!" After a pause, Zhao Weiming asked: "The senior has been here for a few days, but do you have any clues?"

Ye Xiao looked at Zhao Weiming for a long time, and then slowly said something. Qinhuai River, the ancient name of 'Longzangpu', the Han Dynasty called Huaishui.

Legend has it that Qin Shi Huang inspected the Moling Tomb in the east, suspected that there seemed to be dragon gas here, and ordered the area of Fangshan and Shiyi Mountain in the southeast of Jinling, and chiseled the Liangang, and guided the Longzangpu north into the Yangtze River to break it.

According to this legend, the people of the time called it Qinhuai, and in the Tang Dynasty, this place that the emperor had imagined for a while to break the dragon vein had become an important inland river connecting the inside and outside of Jinling City.

Every time the lanterns are on, there are bursts of singing and painting boats on the river, just like a place of joy outside the world.

It is not only a place for high-ranking officials and giants to enjoy themselves, but also attracts many people from the rivers and lakes to indulge in fun.

When Zhao Weiming and Ye Xiao came to the bank of the Qinhuai River, it was the time when night fell and the lights were on. At this time, the Qinhuai River is like a graceful and demure virgin, which is unusually quiet and soft; in the gauzy like a thin veil on the river surface, a tall and majestic painting boat looms, and the woman on the tall painting boat is playing or singing on the bow of the boat, accompanied by the beautiful and graceful singing of the singer; even the air seems to be filled with a sweet and greasy fat powder.

Zhao Weiming was still here for the first time, and when he didn't know the essentials, Ye Xiao had already reached out and summoned a small boat.

Zhao Weiming didn't say much, and hurriedly jumped into the boat with Ye Xiao. After standing still, Ye Xiao immediately pointed to the largest painting boat on the water and said to the boat, "Quick, forget the worries!"

The Guild of the Ship immediately rowed vigorously towards the boat. When I got closer, I found that this painting boat was far bigger than what I had just seen on the shore: I saw that it was about 100 zhang long from east to west, and about 10 zhang wide; a four-story attic with carved beams and paintings was built on it, and more than a dozen gorgeous women stood on the bow side.

As soon as the two of them boarded the boat, they were greeted by a half-aged dressed in a gorgeous old bustard.

Because he knew that he and Ye Xiao had already changed their appearance before coming, although it was the first time for Zhao Weiming to come to this kind of place, he also felt a lot calmer.

At this time, the spacious and luxurious hall on the first floor was already filled with well-dressed people of all colors. They all stared greedily at the flamboyant women in the middle who were playing and singing with lustful eyes.

The women were not only pretty, but their beautiful and graceful singing voices mixed with the crisp and melodious sound of the piano attracted bursts of applause from the onlookers.

Although Zhao Weiming was a little uncomfortable with the atmosphere here, thinking of this purpose, he had to hold back his temperament and watch with everyone with interest.

As soon as a figure appeared upstairs, the crowd of onlookers began to stir. 'It's coming!' Ye Xiao said softly.

Zhao Weiming was shocked, and hurriedly raised his head to look at the person. It was a woman in her prime. I saw her slender waist with slight steps, showing a bright wrist in a light yarn, a colorful phoenix jade hairpin obliquely inserted into a fallen bun on her head, and a light green long skirt, with a waist not full of hand.

Although the mask is covered with tulle, the small and delicate facial features are still faintly visible; a pair of beautiful eyes that care about life are turning slyly at the people downstairs from time to time like a mist; so beautiful that it is so otherworldly, so unearthly that it does not eat the fireworks of the world, just like the fairy of the Moon Palace descending to earth!

At this moment, the old bustard, who had led the way before, walked in front of everyone and stopped the chaotic noise, and said loudly, "The girl of the Oiran 'Moon Fairy' has appeared, and the guests can start bidding now!"

The highest bidder, after being liked by the Moon Fairy Girl, can go to the girl's boudoir to spend the Spring Festival with her!' As soon as the words fell, 'I will pay a hundred taels!'

''I'll give one hundred and fifty taels!' Thinking that Ye Xiao had said that this woman had a lot to do with the murder of Duanwang's family, Zhao Weiming was in a hurry and shouted, "Two thousand taels!"

As soon as they heard that someone had come up with two thousand taels, everyone who felt a little worthless immediately stopped bidding, and they all turned their heads to Zhao Weiming to take a closer look.

When he was young, two pretty women stepped forward and led Zhao Weiming to the embroidery building, and led him into a room with the woman.

The space in the room is quite large, and I saw a large bed in the innermost place, with a pink gauze tent with a charming aroma of fat powder, as if it was exuding an alluring invitation to visitors.

Looking around, the exquisitely carved chairs in the room are all made of fine sandalwood; near the bamboo window, the rosewood marble bookcase is stacked with all kinds of famous scriptures, and on the inkstone there are a few brushes, and the pens inserted in the inkstone of various colors are lined up like a bush; on the other side, there is a flower bag full of buds and flowers waiting to be put in the bamboo window, and a faint fragrance evenly fills the house with the gentle fluttering of the pink tulle on the bamboo window; and in the middle of the wall hangs a large picture of a green lotus out of the mud and not stained, as if to declare the difference between the owner of the boudoir and this gold cave。

The whole room is divided into two places by a screen where the bed is located. The ancient and old straight pipa and a pair of yaoqin hanging on the wall at the head of the bed filled the room with a different atmosphere.

At a young age, the two women retired after the tea was served. As soon as the two daughters left, there were only two people left in the house, Zhao Weiming and Yuexian.

"Didn't you drink alcohol when Childe came?" asked Yuexian coldly. Zhao Weiming shook his head, "I am not good at drinking", "Most of the guests who come to us are drunk and come to indulge in pleasure, like a prince so dignified, this is really rare," Yuexian said again.

Hearing this, Zhao Weiming was taken aback, for fear that the wonderful person in front of him would see that there was another purpose for this trip, so he hurriedly said, "I'm just, it's just, I just don't like to drink...... Yuexian "pouted", walked in front of Zhao Weiming, looked at each other for a while, sighed again, shook his head gently, and said to himself, "How is this possible?"

He should be flying with his senior sister at the moment!'
