Chunyue Tower, take the spring flowers and autumn moon.
It implies that this is a good place that can bring good memories to people.
Although it is located in a remote area, deep in an alley, it is not an exaggeration to say it is quiet.
Tonight, three special guests came to Chunyue Tower.
Two wolf-like and tiger-like Jin Yiwei, a Taoist priest, the key officials are not young, the Jin Yiwei is deputy to thousands of households!
"My lord, please come inside."
The boy stammered, showing fear on his face.
Li Kui stepped over the threshold, walked in, walked around the screen in front of the door, and saw a familiar high platform at a glance. Today, there was no enchanting dancer on it, but a woman in a green skirt playing the piano.
The surrounding layout is indeed exactly the same as that of Obsession Space.
"Ding."
The lively piano sound suddenly stopped.
The lobby instantly became quiet.
"You are so timid."
Seeing this, Pei Ming curled his lips in disdain.
"It's just human nature."
Li Kui said lightly.
After all, Jin Yiwei's reputation outside is not good, and they did not change into casual clothes when they came here, so everyone in the lobby immediately noticed the iconic flying fish uniforms and fell silent for an instant.
On the other hand, Pei Ming was wearing a Taoist robe and was much more low-key in comparison.
"Two officers!"
A coquettish voice with a deliberately elongated tone.
An old bustard with still charming charm stepped on the lotus steps, twisted his waist, and came to Li Kui and others. He stood upright, pressed his left fist with his right hand, lowered his head and said, "The thirteenth lady of the slave family is the boss of this place. The two officials Master, Taoist Master, please take a seat."
"lead the way."
Li Kui raised his eyes to look at it for a moment, then smiled gently.
A group of four people went straight to the second floor where the view was wide and sat down. After a while, a waiter brought a few dishes of side dishes.
"You two officers, why do you come to Chunyue Tower?"
Thirteenth Niang picked up the wine flask and filled the glasses for the three of them before she asked aloud.
Deputy Qianhu of Jinyiwei is an official from the fifth rank, which is already a very high official to her. But I wasn't overly nervous. If something big was going to happen, I wouldn't sit down and drink.
"Thirteenth Niang, please go greet other guests first. I will find you if necessary."
Li Kui had a smile on his lips.
"Then... officers, please be patient. I'll ask two girls to greet you."
"No."
"good."
Thirteenth Niang glanced at Yuan Bin without leaving any trace, and had no choice but to go downstairs for the time being.
At this time.
"You came before?"
Li Kui asked Yuan Bin.
I picked up the teapot and poured a glass. I drank too much wine recently and was a little tired.
"Um."
Yuan Bin touched his nose and admitted without any embarrassment, "I have been here several times with my colleagues."
"Tell me what you know about this place."
Li Kui looked around and found that this place seemed a little different from ordinary brothels, more elegant.
"This thirteenth lady is quite capable. She came from Jingnan Jiaofangsi and later opened Chunyue Tower in Peiping. Because of her, all the girls here are good at singing and dancing."
Yuan Bin smiled: "I don't sell my body when I'm doing art, of course...if you're rich and powerful, that's a different matter."
"Jiaofang Secretary."
Li Kui was thoughtful.
The Jiaofangsi began in the Tang Dynasty. It was originally a place where palace ladies were taught singing and dancing, and was specifically responsible for palace banquets and celebrations. However, it has long since changed. The female relatives of officials who have committed crimes are all sent to the Jiaofangsi, which is equivalent to official skills.
Immediately, Li Kui asked: "Then do you know who is the most beautiful here?"
"..."
This question is asked.
But Li Kui had no choice. He looked around just now and found that the beautiful woman he saw in the Obsession Space was not here, and he didn't know her name, so he could only ask this question.
"Heart-saving girl."
Yuan Bin said without hesitation.
at this time.
"Li Kui, what are you planning to do in this romantic place?" Pei Ming on the side finally couldn't help but ask: "Deputy Li Qianhu, we are working together on the case. If you find clues but deliberately hide them, is it? Isn’t it not very good!”
The last sentence inevitably brings a question.
"That monk still has a trace of obsession. I saw him coming here."
Li Kui didn't hide anything and said directly.
"How did you see it?"
Pei Ming was about to blurt out these words, but then swallowed them back.
Everyone has secrets, but at this moment, Li Kui was a little more mysterious in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards.
Li Kui continued: "In his obsession, all his attention is on a beautiful woman."
'No wonder your lord comes here. '
Thinking about it, Yuan Bin smiled and said:
"If we say who is the most beautiful in Chunyue Tower, it must be the heart-warming girl. She is the oiran and the number one here."
"Let's call her over for questioning first."
Li Kui sipped the hot tea and spoke calmly.
"Thirteenth Mother."
Yuan Bin shouted immediately.
Then he saw Thirteenth Niang walking over in a swaying manner, "What are your orders from the officials?"
"Let the heart-warming girl come over."
"ah?"
Thirteenth Niang looked troubled.
Seeing this, Yuan Bin's face instantly became serious, "What?"
"Well, Miss Wan Xin has been ill recently and is not in the building."
"I got sick?"
Li Kui said with great interest:
"Doesn't she live here?"
"Master Fuqianhu, you don't know. Courtesans like Wan Xin always have their own little courtyard outside."
Thirteenth Niang smiled.
Then she made an insinuation, "I wonder, did something happen to Wan Xin?"
"Do you know where she lives?"
Li Kui asked directly.
"Know."
Thirteenth Niang had no choice but to report her address.
"Do you remember that there was a monk from the Western Regions who often came here?"
Pei Ming asked aloud.
"Monk from the Western Regions?" Thirteenth Niang glanced at Pei Ming and saw that the quality of his Taoist robes was extraordinary. She lowered her eyes slightly, "You should be asking about Master Qubu. He does come to Chunyue Tower often and is obsessed with winning his heart. "
Then, she added: "But I haven't seen him for three or four days."
"Because he's dead."
Li Kui said quickly.
"ah!"
Thirteenth Niang covered her mouth and widened her eyes, looking particularly in disbelief. "how come."
Immediately, as if he realized something, he hurriedly said: "Do the officials suspect that Wan Xin is related to the murder case? Mr. Qianhu, Wan Xin is a kind-hearted and law-abiding woman, and there is no way she is related to the murder case."
It was no wonder that Thirteenth Niang was not in a hurry. How could an ordinary murder alarm Jin Yiwei, who was still a fifth-rank Deputy Qianhu.
How big of a case does this have to be? !
'It seems that the two of them have a good relationship? '
Upon seeing this, Li Kui made a judgment and said: "It's okay for now, just relax."
"Well……"
Hearing this, Thirteenth Niang forced a smile, but felt even more uneasy in her heart.
"Otherwise, I will immediately send someone to call the heart-warming girl to come over now."
"Do not bother."
Li Kui turned his head and said to Yuan Bin: "My treat, you can relax here. After all, you have been standing all day."
"Thank you, sir."
Yuan Bin glanced at Pei Ming. He was very smart and immediately handed over his hand.
"Pei Qianhu, do you want to come with me?"
Li Kui stood up and said.
"Don't go!"
Pei Ming shook his face, looking impatient.
Since the two met, he followed Li Kui's footsteps like a puppet on strings. The charnel house and Chunyue Building were just like the follower Zongqi next to him. Which one could be tolerated?
He is an inner disciple of the Wudang Taoist sect, and he is also a member of a thousand households in Dongchang.
In terms of official position, he is one level higher than Li Kui.
How could the stubborn and arrogant Pei Ming accept this?
"Okay, I'll go there myself."
Li Kui shrugged smartly, and the smile on his lips deepened, "Thirteenth Niang, find the best girl in your building to accompany you two."
Say it.
Li Kui went straight downstairs and left.
"plum……"
Pei Ming looked at the distant figure and hesitated to speak.
He regretted it again.
"Pei Qianhu, I would like to offer you a drink."
At this time, Yuan Bin raised his wine glass.
"snort."
Pei Ming glanced at Yuan Bin, raised his neck in displeasure, and drank the whole drink in one gulp.
"Good drinker."
Yuan Bin praised.
Here, things are gradually getting lively.
