Chapter 49: Pearl Courtyard

Seeing Jiang Yuhuo's reaction, Yu Xiaoyao secretly raised the internal force.

But Jiang Yuhuo quickly relaxed, "Do you think I know what the robbers want?" he asked.

"Don't you know?" asked Yu Xiaoyao rhetorically.

Jiang Yuhuo said: "So you think that note was written to me?"

Yu Xiaoyao said: "I decided to come over yesterday, and the note can't be written to me." ”

Jiang Yuhuo said: "And Yanyan is my wife who has not passed through the door, so the murderer kidnapped Yanyan and came to me." ”

Yu Xiaoyao stopped talking, what Jiang Yuhuo said was exactly what he thought, and he didn't need to say anything more.

Jiang Yuhuo clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "If that note is written to me, if there is anything on me that the robbers want, even if it is my life, I am willing to exchange it for cigarettes and smoke to be safe!"

Yu Xiaoyao groaned: "Then if it is not written to you, then who will it be written to?"

Jiang Yuhuo suddenly said: "Don't forget, in addition to you and me, there is another person who can see the note, or rather, he should be the one who should see the note!"

Yu Xiaoyao said in a trembling manner: "Uncle Xu!"

Jiang Yuhuo nodded and said, "Actually, Uncle Xu is a very mysterious character, and I still don't know his details. ”

"How come?" Yu Xiaoyao exclaimed, "Didn't Uncle Xu work under Xu Sanying?"

Jiang Yuhuo shook his head and said, "Many people think so, but I have specifically checked this person in the documents of the six doors, but there is no record of him at all. ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "Then how can he be a housekeeper by Xu Sanying's side?"

Jiang Yuhuo said: "I once asked Master this question, and Master only said that Uncle Xu was his friend, so I didn't think too much. ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "In this way, Uncle Xu's suspicion is indeed the greatest. ”

Jiang Yuhuo nodded and said, "If it weren't for your reminder, I wouldn't have thought of him." ”

Yu Xiaoyao leaned on the carriage, sighed softly, and said, "The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be taken step by step." Let's find Lion Liu first, Uncle Xu shouldn't have thought that we would suspect him, but he is not in a hurry. ”

The carriage and horses were chariots, and after a while, they arrived at the gate of the Pearl Courtyard.

Yu Xiaoyao at least one thing was right, before they could get out of the car, the old bustard of the Pearl Courtyard personally greeted them.

Although this old bustard is half-old, she still has charm, and she must have been a beauty when she was young.

It's just that no matter how beautiful a beauty is, she can't escape the fate of old age and decay.

So the old bustard's face was smeared with half an inch of powder, and before he could get close, a vulgar fat powder gas floated over, causing Jiang Yuhuo to frown.

"Yo, two sons, come to the courtyard for the first time, hurry up, please inside, please inside, let me tell you, I have all kinds of girls in this courtyard. The old bustard didn't seem to see Jiang Yuhuo's disgusted expression, and greeted him very courteously.

Yu Xiaoyao smiled slightly: "My cousin came to Jinan for the first time, and I brought him to the land of fireworks to see for a long time, but I can't let the elders in the family know, so, do you understand?"

As he said this, he took out a silver ticket from his bosom and stuffed it into the bustard's hand.

The old bustard's face immediately smiled like a flower, "I understand, I understand, I can see it if you don't say it, this little boy, I'm afraid it's a beginner... Hahahaha, don't worry, I'm here, absolutely satisfying you. ”

The old bustard let them into the private room, with a greasy smile on his face, and said, "The two sons are waiting here, and I will call the girls to meet the guests." ”

Waiting for the old bustard to withdraw, Jiang Yuhuo let out a long breath.

Yu Xiaoyao grabbed the flask on the table and smiled, "Now I'm sure you must be the first time to come to this kind of place." ”

Jiang Yuhuo said coldly: "I'm also sure that you must come to this kind of place often." ”

Yu Xiaoyao smiled and said: "The prodigal son of the rivers and lakes, the daughter of Fengchen, isn't this a perfect match?"

Jiang Yuhuo said: "I only hope that I will never come to this kind of place in the future." ”

There was a soft knock at the door.

"Come in. Yu Xiaoyao picked up the wine glass and lay down in the chair obliquely, looking like a gentleman.

The old bustard walked in with seven or eight girls, and Yu Xiaoyao couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, these girls at least didn't apply so thick powder.

The old bustard smiled and said: "Two sons, the girls in our store who can pick up customers now are here, you two have seen it." ”

Yu Xiaoyao saw the right from the left, and from the right to the left, but he didn't speak.

The old bustard couldn't help but be a little anxious, for fear that if they didn't like these girls, the business would be yellow.

Jiang Yuhuo was also in a hurry, he didn't understand what Yu Xiaoyao was still hesitating, and after waiting for a long time, he couldn't help it, so he leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

Yu Xiaoyao nodded and said with a smile: "Hahaha, okay, I understand." ”

"Two sons?" the old bustard blinked in confusion.

Yu Xiaoyao pointed at Jiang Yuhuo with his hand, and said: "My cousin has a good friend in his hometown, named Cuicui, he has been away from home for more than a month, but he misses her a little, so he wants to find a girl who is also named Cuicui, it doesn't matter if she looks good or not." ”

"Cuicui?" the old bustard looked embarrassed, "Don't hide it from the two of you, but there is a person named Cuicui in my courtyard, but now he is accompanying the guests, and he can't pull away." ”

"Oh?" Yu Xiaoyao reached out and took out a silver ticket from his arms, gently placed it on the table, and asked, "What guest?"

"This..." The old bustard looked at the silver ticket on the table and bit his lip slightly.

Yu Xiaoyao sighed softly and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't be embarrassed by my mother, cousin, let's go." ”

As he spoke, he stood up and made a gesture to take back the silver ticket from the table.

"Alas, blah blah blah. The old bustard hurriedly held down the silver ticket and said with a smile: "Don't worry, son, I'll go and ask you, ask, you sit here and don't move." ”

Yu Xiaoyao had to reluctantly sit back.

The old bustard went out, and after a while he brought a girl back. This girl is not beautiful, at most she is a middle-aged person, but a little beauty mole at the corner of her mouth adds three points of charm.

"Your name is Cuicui?" asked Yu Xiaoyao lazily.

The girl's eyes fluttered, and she smiled softly: "Don't worry, Childe, I am the only one named Cuicui in this courtyard." ”

"Cousin, what do you think?" Yu Xiaoyao looked at Jiang Yuhuo.

Jiang Yuhuo nodded silently.

Yu Xiaoyao casually pointed to a girl and said, "Okay, it's just the two of them." ”

The old bustard took the silver ticket on the table, and with satisfaction withdrew with the rest of the girls.

Cuicui sat down beside Jiang Yuhuo, so Jiang Yuhuo's body suddenly straightened, with an expression of rejection thousands of miles away.

Yu Xiaoyao deliberately didn't look at his ugly face, and asked the girl sitting next to him, "What's your name?"

The girl smiled coquettishly and said, "The slave's name is Yunyun." Does Childe want to listen to music, or do you..."

Yu Xiaoyao interrupted her with a smile and said, "Then drink the bar, I'll have a drink, you have a drink, how about it?"

Jiang Yuhuo is like sitting on pins and needles, looking at the nose and nose, but it is like an old monk in the middle. Yu Xiaoyao drank with Yunyun one cup after another on the side, so unhappy.

Yu Xiaoyao drank very fast, almost pouring wine into his mouth one by one, the girl named Yunyun obviously had some alcohol, but she couldn't resist Yu Xiaoyao's speed, and she quickly got drunk.

"Finished drinking?" Jiang Yuhuo asked coldly.

Yu Xiaoyao threw down the wine glass, smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to seal Yun Yun's acupoint again.

Jiang Yuhuo was very disdainful, "It's just a little wind and dust girl, is it necessary?"

Yu Xiaoyao smiled: "Do you think she's drunk? She actually just doesn't want to drink anymore, this kind of little trick can also fool Jiang Zhutou?"

Cuicui was originally sitting beside Jiang Yuhuo with some embarrassment, but when she heard this conversation, she was so frightened that she didn't even dare to move, and her little face suddenly turned pale.

"Don't be afraid. Yu Xiaoyao said softly, "We just want to ask you a few questions, and it won't hurt you." ”

Cuicui nodded nervously.

Yu Xiaoyao poured a glass of wine, handed it over, and said, "Let's drink a glass of wine to relieve it first." ”

Cuicui took the wine calmly, half of it was poured into her mouth, and half of it was poured on her body.

After drinking, her mood calmed down a lot, "What's the problem... You... You ask. ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "Do you know Hu Yi?"

Cuicui nodded and said, "He also said he was coming over tonight." ”

Yu Xiaoyao sighed secretly and said, "When Hu Yi came to you, what did he tell you?"

Cuicui hurriedly shook her head and said, "I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything." ”

Yu Xiaoyao took a deep breath, he hated what he was going to say next, because if he said it, he would become a complete big bastard.

"Hu Yi is dead. Yu Xiaoyao said, "Just an hour ago." ”

"What!" Cuicui's eyes were full of shock and suspicion, "No way, he... He also said yesterday that he was about to save enough money... He'll be able to redeem me soon..."

She muttered, tears streaming down her face.

And what woman is willing to fall into this dusty place, it is nothing more than forced by life. What woman doesn't look forward to meeting someone who can be entrusted with her life and get out of this sea of suffering as soon as possible.

It's a pity that fate loves cruel jokes more than happy endings.

Now, Yu Xiaoyao can only bite the bullet and take this bastard to the end, he forced himself to continue: "Jiang Zhutou and I are here to investigate Hu Yi's murder, if you know something, or Hu Yi has mentioned anything special to you, you can tell us." ”

Cuicui gently wiped the tears from her eyes, in this dusty place, she had already learned to get used to misfortune, and she had long learned how to hide her emotions.

She lowered her head and thought quietly, and after a long time, she said slowly: "If there is any strange thing, there is indeed one thing, but it is not what he told me. ”

"What's the matter?" Jiang Yuhuo asked.

Cuicui said: "He doesn't have a lot of money, so he never orders alcohol when he comes to me, but on several occasions, he comes with wine." ”

"Bring your own wine, what's so strange about that?" asked Yu Xiaoyao.

Cuicui said: "It's not unusual to bring your own wine, but it's strange that the wine he brings is a good wine, and it is even comparable to the most expensive wine in our courtyard." ”

"Oh?" Yu Xiaoyao and Jiang Yuhuo glanced at each other, and they both understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

They've come to the right place!
