"The fragrance of red lotus root remains~Autumn in jade mat~"
"Easy to untie Luo Shang and board the orchid boat alone~"
The singing was soft and the sound of the piano was melodious. Zhu Jinghong was fascinated by it and even sang along.
This poem is very famous. The teacher taught it in class in his previous life, and also played the performance of the song. Zhu Jinghong was very impressed by it.
Even now that he listens to it, he still feels it is very familiar, and he can even sing along with it.
"Stop!"
Zhu Jinghong suddenly spoke, the song naturally stopped, and a group of dancers also froze in place.
"You... come here!" Zhu Jinghong pointed to one of the dancers.
The girl who was accused of being noticed by everyone blushed for a moment, then walked towards Zhu Jinghong holding up her skirt.
Looking at the beauty standing in front of him, Zhu Jinghong asked with a smile: "Why do you keep staring at me?"
From time to time, few people looked directly at him, but the woman in front of him was unusual, which made Zhu Jinghong curious.
"Young Master is handsome, and I couldn't help but look at him too much, so I was rude... Please forgive me, Master!"
After hearing the situation, the mother in charge hurriedly came over and accused her repeatedly: "Young master, don't blame me, Mao Yatou is ignorant, I will take her down to punish her!"
Mother Hu was really scared. Although she couldn't guess Zhu Jinghong's identity, she remembered He Jiayan's warning.
Ignoring Mother Hu, Zhu Jinghong smiled and said, "Junxiu? You are really good at talking!"
The woman replied: "Everything I said is true. The handsomeness and elegance of the young master are really rare to see!"
Seeing that Zhu Jinghong liked to hear nice things, Hu's mother felt relieved and did not stop the girl from replying.
"Okay, you dance well, let's watch and enjoy!"
Zhu Jinghong didn't carry any money with him. He basically carried it with his entourage, such as Deng An who followed him this time.
After Zhu Jinghong spoke, the young eunuch grabbed two gold leaves from his arms and handed them to the dancer.
After looking at the feminine Deng An for a few more times, the dancer took the gold leaf. The anxious mother Hu on the side repeatedly scolded: "Why don't you thank the young master quickly!"
"Thank you, Master, for the reward!"
Seeing that everyone else was looking at him eagerly, Zhu Jinghong was also really happy. He then ordered in his heart: "Reward...reward them all!"
Anyway, today was for free, so he didn't spend much money, so he simply went extravagant today and rewarded all the girls present.
Grabbing a handful of gold leaves and throwing them out, Deng An couldn't help but mutter: "Master Thirteen, we didn't bring many gold leaves with us!"
"Really? You can use your idle money!"
What is idle money? Deng An didn't react for a while.
But he saw that Zhu Jinghong had turned around, stared at him coldly and said, "You are very rich. You have collected thousands of taels of money outside of my back these days... at least!"
"How come... you are willing to use it to honor your godfather, but you are not willing to use it for me?"
When he heard the end, Deng An was so exhausted that he knelt down on the ground with a thump, kowtowing and begging for mercy: "My slave deserves to die, my slave deserves to die!"
Deng An was really scared. He never expected that Zhu Jinghong would know about the things he did behind his back.
This is actually not surprising. There were at least twenty or thirty eunuchs serving Zhu Jinghong. These people were not of the same mind, and they kept complaining behind his back.
It's just that Zhu Jinghong didn't pay attention in the past. Although Deng An was a little greedy, he was still capable of doing things, so Zhu Jinghong tolerated him.
The more gold leaves brought out today, the more external rewards, the smaller the number this guy will keep privately.
In order to get more, this guy dared to cry out for poverty, and his greed for money got to his own head. How could Zhu Jinghong not get angry?
Seeing that Du Deng An had kowtowed his head to pieces, Zhu Jinghong did not get rid of his anger, but scolded: "What's the use of kowtow? Get out of here!"
Under Zhu Jinghong's sharp gaze, Deng Anna still had the courage to defend himself, so he just crawled out in a mess.
The scene just now happened to be seen by a group of dancers, who were so frightened that the gold leaves in their hands no longer smelled good.
Zhu Jinghong didn't take it seriously, waved his sleeves and said: "Keep playing music, keep dancing!"
The singing and dancing continued, but Lu Yuxin and Zhang Lin, who were accompanying them, felt a chill on their backs in the rising heat of June.
Today, they first scolded Hou Jing, and then beat Deng An. Both of them were close to Zhu Jinghong, but they ended up with this result.
Thinking of this, Lu and Zhang actually felt like "accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger". Even in their daze, they even suspected that the figure in front of them was the current Holy Emperor.
Deng An left lonely. After a while, the rewarded girls also got off the boat, and then another wave of people came on board.
The people who were replaced all left the boat in small boats, and there were two carriages waiting on the shore.
After the boat docked, a group of women boarded the carriage one after another.
When it was Zhu Jinghong's turn to reward the girl alone, the horse jumped up in fright, and the carriage shook causing her to lose her balance.
But the girl had quick eyes and quick hands. She grabbed the lintel of the carriage door, then pulled herself back, and then quickly got into the carriage.
Although the time before and after was short, he was noticed by Chen Yuntai on the side of the road, which made him immediately suspicious.
The move just now, let alone a weak woman, even a man with flexible and strong skills may not be able to hold it steady.
There might be something wrong with this woman...
The man on the boat is the extremely noble Thirteenth Master. Is there any conspiracy behind the questionable woman approaching him?
This matter needs to be investigated clearly, maybe it will be more useful than investigating the White Lotus Sect rebels... Chen Yuntai thought to himself.
The carriage had already driven out. Chen Yuntai ordered two of his capable subordinates and quietly followed him out.
The carriage walked around Houhu for less than two or three miles before entering a courtyard with the three characters "Lan Kwai Fong" written on it.
"You watch from the front, you go to the back door and watch!"
"yes!"
He arranged for his men to stay while Chen Yuntai found a big tree nearby, climbed up and hid among the leaves, observing the situation in Lan Kwai Fong.
Although Lan Kwai Fong has a nice name, it is actually a high-end brothel, and only high-ranking officials and powerful people are not allowed to enter.
After a while, the captain who was sent to the back door came to report: "Sir, someone came out of the back door, and he is a practicing master!"
As soon as he heard that there was a real situation, Chen Yuntai suddenly became excited. If any major case was uncovered and solved, he would have the opportunity to make a career.
"Hurry up and follow!"
"I'm afraid we've gone too far and it's too late!"
At this time, Chen Yuntai only regretted that he did not bring more people, so that he could fully arrange his manpower.
"Is there a woman out?"
"No!"
Chen Yuntai felt much relieved. As long as the woman was still there, the clues would not be broken.
So he recalled it over and over again in his mind, constantly strengthening his impression of this woman, so that he could recognize her when necessary.
"Go and call the two brothers. After today, we will start a fight with you!" Chen Yuntai said in a deep voice.
"Sir, is there something fishy here?"
"Nine times out of ten!"
Chen Yuntai has handled many major cases. Since he said it is nine out of ten, this matter is basically a certainty.
Another captain asked: "Since there is something fishy, why not just rush in, arrest the person and torture them severely, so that everything will be clear!"
"We can only catch some small fish and shrimps. Do you understand? We want to catch big fish!" Chen Yuntai explained in a low voice.
In order to gain credit, Chen Yuntai was extra cautious. After thinking for a moment, he said goodbye: "Tell brothers, don't make any announcement about this beforehand, lest others steal the case!"
