The inner city of Luoyang is the activity place of the feudal prince's mansion and the institutions at all levels of Henan Prefecture, and ordinary people are generally not invited to enter.

Yanyulou is actually a courtyard of Zhu Changxun, the king of Luoyang, covering an area of more than ten acres, enclosing an independent area.

Zhu Changxun, the king of Luoyang, came here to become a vassal and naturally wanted to build a palace. In the second year after the completion of the Fuwang Mansion, the construction of Yanyu Building began, which took one and a half years to complete.

Before and after, after 77888, it cost 280,000 taels of silver, which exceeded the construction budget of the vassal king's mansion stipulated by the imperial court by ten times, and was known as the most luxurious vassal mansion in the country.

In addition to the royal palace, King Fu also had 20,000 hectares of farmland, which was four times the size of other vassal kings.

However, Emperor Shenzong Zhu Yijun and Zheng Guifei still felt sorry for their sons, so they sent eunuchs to collect "mining taxes", and all the hundreds of millions of money looted were sent to Fuwang's Mansion to "subsidize the family". In addition, 10,000 hectares of fertile land in Shandong and Huguang were also allocated to Henan Mansion to make up for the "lack of daily use" of Fuwang Mansion.

It is said that there are many imperial histories in the court who are not afraid of death, and even impeached Zheng Guifei and King Fu for overstepping the system. As a result, Emperor Shenzong Zhu Yijun was furious when he heard the news, and then very rarely reviewed the chapter in person. And specially made a decree: in the future, all the twists and turns involving King Fu will be presented in a timely manner, and there shall be no mistakes.

Then, all those imperial histories were hit to the top by the golden gourd, and the corpse was displayed to the public at noon. And then there is no follow-up, and there is no follow-up.

This was all in the forty-first year of Wanli (1613), that is, nine years ago.

In February of the forty-second year of Wanli, Zhu Changxun, the thirty-two-year-old Fu King, took countless gold and silver treasures to Luoyang, which was really a blessing from heaven, and the grand occasion was unprecedented, and the team was more than 100 miles long before and after.

Among them, there are 72 eunuchs, 108 palace maids, and 4,800 Praetorian Guards, which have been specially approved by Emperor Zhu Yijun, creating an incredible wonder of the world that has been passed down to this day.

Eight years have passed, and many people have begun to forget about it. The only thing I still remember is that the annual mining tax, customs duties, land tax, and poll tax of Henan Mansion have all become the golden tickets of Fuwangfu.

In fact, it is impossible for the emperor to live long. Emperor Shenzong Zhu Yijun naturally did not live long live, although he was now long lived.

After Emperor Shenzong Zhu Yijun lived long, Emperor Guangzong Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, and Concubine Zheng gave Zhu Changluo eight beauties. Zhu Changluo was young and vigorous, and he was lucky to have several people in one night, but his health deteriorated, and he fell ill ten days after ascending the throne, and he died in less than a month, which is known as the "Red Pill Case" in history.

Long live Emperor Guangzong Zhu Changluo, and it was not the turn of the blessed king Zhu Changxun, which disappointed Concubine Zheng.

Zhu Changluo's eldest son, Zhu Youxiao, ascended the throne and changed the Yuan Tianqi (1620), and the Ming Dynasty entered the era of the Apocalypse. (Now it can't be called Emperor Xizong, but should be called Emperor Tianqi, because Emperor Zhu Changluo has not yet lived, and the temple number Xizong has not yet come out.) ）

Zhu Changluo, the Fu King of Luoyang, is the third uncle of Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse. Although he did not ascend the throne as an emperor, the title of the emperor's uncle was not given in vain.

Emperor Guangzong Zhu Changluo has explicitly ordered the abolition of the mine supervisor and salt supervisor, but the Henan government has not implemented it, so there are many complaints, and the world knows about it.

After Emperor Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, what he was most worried about was that the Third Emperor Uncle Salted Fish would turn over and let himself follow his father's old path in advance.

Nowadays, the imperial uncle of Luoyang has a mountain of gold and silver treasures, and he is richer than the national treasury.

Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse couldn't help but start worrying: The wealth in the hands of the Third Emperor Uncle is definitely not a problem to feed an army of 100,000, in case something comes to that, it is not a joke.

After the Emperor of the Apocalypse Zhu Youxiao planned carefully, he ordered the eunuch Wei Zhongxian to transfer the Jinyi Guard's capable generals to make a foothold in Luoyang City, and send personnel to garrison it for a long time.

Yanyulou is the courtyard of Zhu Changxun, the king of blessings, and it is said that there are beauties from all over the world in it, and the number of people is no less than 400. It's really thin, fat, beautiful.

, just on the northeast side of the Yanyu building on the partition wall and stand, the same red light hangs high, the beautiful girl is like a cloud; the sound of the piano surrounds the beam, the Yanyu is like a complaint; ushered in and sent, all day long.

is different from Yan Yulou, the woman in *** has a dignified demeanor and a thousand manners. And they are all trained more rigorously, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all excellent, and they are treated properly and thoughtfully.

There are rumors that the girls in *** have undergone special training in the color clothing class of Jiudao Villa. That's really a unique skill for everyone, everyone can go to heaven.

Especially a year ago, a "Xiangche Holy Maiden" suddenly appeared, playing the piano with one hand, which can make people fascinated, drunk, sleepwalking in Wushan, and not waking up for three days.

It's a pity that the "incense car saintess" comes and goes, mysterious and unpredictable. Let those "" who are looking for beauty and victory can stretch out their claws in their throats, but they are helpless.

According to legend, Luoyang City hyped up the "Xiangche Holy Maiden Meeting Fee", which is currently as high as 80,000 taels of silver, and the meeting time is three breaths. If you want to listen to the "Holy Maiden of the Incense Car" play a song, it takes a quarter of an hour, and you need to tattoo 240,000 taels of silver.

But until now, no one seems to have witnessed the peerless beauty of the "Xiangche Holy Maiden", which has become the biggest secret in the whole of Luoyang.

There is definite news that the blessed king Zhu Changxun has offered 4.8 million taels, but he begged for the joy of the "incense car saintess" overnight, but unfortunately his wish has not been achieved so far.

Because of the birth of the "Xiangche Saintess", the famous Heluo is famous. In the past year, it is simply not something that can be described by making money every day, and one million a day is not a lie.

, the building is six stories high.

All below the fifth floor are places for pleasure, only at the sixth floor of the staircase, a small pure gold sign with a width of four fingers hangs high, and four or eight vermilion characters are written on it: the inner hall is heavy, and you must not enter.

A room with dark curtains hanging on all four walls, divided into two entrances by beaded curtains.

Outside, there was a person standing in front of the bead curtain, and it was Chen Hongtai, the deputy commander of the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town: "Lord Xu, Lord Cui: There is news from the dark line, and the fish did not bite the hook." ”

With a bang, the bead curtain was lifted, and a man paced out of it.

This person looked to be in his forties, with a white face and beard, and dressed as a scholar. He wears a brocade scarf and a white satin robe, holding a purple clay pot in his left hand and his right hand behind his back.

This person is the second-in-command of Jinyi Wei, and he is in command of Xu Xianchun.

It is rumored that in Funiu Mountain, Xu Xianchun was stabbed in the right shoulder by Yuan Moyun's overlord gun, and it is said that the injury was not light, so he did not return to Beijing.

However, from the current point of view, this Xu Xian is pure and relaxed, leisurely, and does not look like he is seriously injured.

What came out behind Xu Xianchun was Cui Yingyuan, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, and the expression on his face at this time seemed to be very unsightly, as if someone owed him half a tael of silver and hadn't paid it back.

Xu Xianchun didn't look at Chen Hongtai, but turned his head to look at Cui Yingyuan: "Master Cui, what did you just say? There was a battle of life and death in Taiping Town four months ago, who were the two sides?"

"Lord Xu, I didn't talk nonsense, and I didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of adults. Cui Yingyuan glared at Chen Hongtai fiercely: "There is definite information that the old worship did appear in Taiping Town that night, and named the throat sword, and the two had a battle that lasted for a quarter of an hour. ”

"Although the old enshrinement and the choke-throated Kenhachiro disappeared at the same time, they have not been seen since. However, he believes that Kenhachiro should be the last person to see the old worship. As long as you find the Lockthroat Kenhachiro, you will be able to find out the whereabouts of the old worship, and the whereabouts of the dragon scale purple gold knife will naturally be clear. ”

Xu Xianchun nodded slightly, and then turned his head to look at Chen Hongtai, who was sweating profusely, and said in a long voice: "This, Lord Chen, you just said that you didn't bite the hook, did you mean that you didn't find out the whereabouts of the Lockthroat Kenhachiro?"

Chen Hongtai lowered his head and didn't dare to raise it: "When I followed Master Cui, I once saw Lockthroat Jianbalang in Wanfulou, Peng Pengpo Town, and that Lockthroat Jianbalang had a good relationship with our boss Mo Jiuniang. This time, the commission was made using Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen, which was designed for this person. ”

"Because since the debut of the Throat Sword, what he has done is not the behavior of a ** killer at all, but the demeanor of a white road hero. Although Xiong Tingbi is not well received in the court, in the rivers and lakes, many people who do not know the truth are highly respected, and there are many people who are willing to die for him. ”

"He thinks that if the Throat Sword gets the news that Xiong Tingbi is about to be executed by Ling Chi, he should not sit idly by. Lord Xu, those so-called white road figures, have always sold their reputations. If there is a chance to rescue Xiong Tingbi, it will definitely flock to him. ”

"Now there has been no movement for more than half a month on the bounty commission, so I think that Kenhachiro should not be near Luoyang. How to find his whereabouts, I'm afraid I need to find another way. ”

"Oh?" Xu Xianchun nodded, and then turned his head to look at Cui Yingyuan: "Lord Cui, you have been in Henan Mansion for more than a year, and you know more about the situation here than our family." Let's talk about it, have you found out the social background and personnel relationship of that lock-throated Kenhachiro?"

Cui Yingyuan's face was gloomy: "I can't hide it, for that throat locking sword, it was the first time that Lord Chen was defeated in his hands, and it attracted our attention." According to the information we already have, the Lockthroat Sword is the apprentice of the killer Xiaoyaozi. Before Xiaoyaozi died, there was no such person as a throat sword on the rivers and lakes. ”

"But since the battle of Dawang Town, everything that happened around Luoyang has been related to the Throat Locking Sword. Because of this, when the "Book of Thieves" was first designed, it was considered as an important link. Because he does not have a complex social background, nor does he see that he has the ambition to compete for the world. ”

"As it turned out later, this Lockthroat Sword found that it might set itself on fire, and for the purpose of self-preservation, it really sent the Book of Thieves out of the world, thus achieving our original goal. And he didn't participate in the search for cheats, which shows that our previous judgment was not wrong. ”

However, when the Throat Sword and the old worship clashed, what happened in the middle of this, outsiders do not know. The news I got from Taiping Town seemed to be that the old worshipper wanted to practice the head of the Throat Sword, so the two of them fought. Because the fight was not long, no one saw them win or lose at that time. ”

Xu Xianchun heard the end, and the two brows were already twisted together. After turning back and forth in the room for a quarter of an hour, he asked, "Two adults, do you have any more mature plans for how to continue to search for the Lockthroat Sword, find out the whereabouts of the old worshipper, and send the nine-thousand-year-old Dragon Scale Purple Gold Sword back to the Jingshi?"

Chen Hongtai said: "The social relationship of Kenhachiro is not complicated, and there are not many people who have the closest relationship with him. However, Xiaoyaozi is his master, and the people in the white road pay the most attention to respecting the teacher. Therefore, he believes that although Xiaoyaozi is dead, he should still have something to do. ”

Cui Yingyuan took over the conversation: "Lord Chen is right. As far as I know, when Xiaoyaozi just died, there was a great battle at his grave, and the Seven Demons of Dongting were destroyed on the spot. This is where our article should start. ”K
