After hearing Chao Heng's cry, everyone gathered around. Miss Qianrui looked shocked and murmured: "That place..."
"This is the place where the court lady Mingyue lives in immortality."
Everyone's eyesight was poor and they could only see a slender figure standing on the attic. Only Lu Li could see the situation clearly——
It was a woman with bright facial features, no makeup, wearing a white silk dress, with half of her feet already stepped out.
Floating fragrance?
Follow in his footsteps?
Subconsciously, Lu Li thought of this name.
When he was distracted, Li Bai was the first to react and hurriedly said: "Go and save people!"
As soon as the words fell, the shadow fell, without any hesitation or giving others time to react.
It's midnight, midnight.
Huang Liu's mother's house, which had been filled with laughter, became extremely quiet. Many patrons lay by the windows and peered into the courtyard downstairs.
Among them, there were those who looked fearful, some who looked unhappy, and some who looked excited...
"Who is the deceased?"
"Have you ever found out more about it?"
The guest in Room A No. 2 was questioning the servants. If he hadn't taken his status into account and would have been gossiped about if he went there rashly, he would have gone to find out for himself.
"Replying to Alang, I didn't." The boy servant looked embarrassed and hesitated: "The rangers in Huang Liu's family are very tough and won't let anyone get close to them."
It is difficult to open a brothel. Firstly, the money comes in quickly and it is easy to make people jealous. Secondly, if the customers drink too much, they are easy to cause trouble. Therefore, this business looks elegant, but it is closely connected with the evil forces of Chang'an.
Home ranger.
Calling him a ranger is a bit too flattering. In fact, he is a thug who specializes in maintaining order in the brothel.
"Nonsense!" The guest in Room 2 was full of anger, pointing to the courtyard in the distance and cursing: "Why can those six people go there?"
"Alang, they are officials."
"Isn't it just me?"
"The leader is Mr. He, the secretary and supervisor of this dynasty, and there is also a judge from Dali Temple."
The Yuanwailang was speechless for a moment. He was a fifth-rank official and belonged to the relatively noble Ministry of Rites. It was better not to wade into this muddy water.
at the same time.
Lu Li frowned and looked at the corpse in front of him. Although he had guessed the identity of the deceased in advance, Li Bai and others always thought it was a certain maidservant who couldn't think of it and chose to jump down from the attic until they saw it with their own eyes...
At this moment, Huang Liuniang had rushed over, holding a maid in her arms and crying.
Although she is best at playing both sides and hiding her emotions, this time she definitely showed her true feelings.
After all, the cash cow is gone.
Furthermore, oirans need to be trained from an early age to play music, chess, calligraphy, painting, music, and poetry. Just hiring a master will cost dozens of taels of gold, not counting food and clothing, and Mingyue Lady was rated as a master. How long has it been since Huang Liuniang didn't even get back her money? She's losing blood!
"Daughter, why can't you think about it and commit suicide..."
"My mother has never beaten or scolded you. She is willing to buy you tin heads, cloud grates, and even Persian luozidai. Ying ying ying."
The sound of wailing lingered in my ears.
Lu Li took a deep look at Huang Liuniang and asked, "Have you ever reported it to Marquis Wu for patrolling the streets?"
"..."
No one answered.
According to the process, if a murder case occurs in the community, it must be reported to Wuhoupu, who will report it to Wannian County. If the county magistrate cannot make a decision, it will be handed over to Jingzhao Mansion, and finally to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple.
"Lu Qing, it's time for you to show off your skills."
"Leave this case to Marquis Wu and the bad guys, and nothing will be found."
Li Bai and Wang Wei persuaded him.
As soon as the murder case came out, the two of them were completely drunk. Looking at this posture, it seemed that they were still thinking about getting addicted to detective work.
"Call the patrolling Marquis Wu first and inform Wu Zuo to come for the autopsy." Lu Li insisted that Marquis Wu come to the scene.
First of all, he is not good at examining corpses because he has special skills. Secondly, he is now a mere commander and has to do everything himself, which is too tiring. In the end, he just took over the scene temporarily, waiting for the cat, no, waiting for the young minister of the temple to arrive, and then handed over the case immediately.
the other side.
The heavy gate of the square was pushed open by Marquis Wu, and two riders urged their horses inside.
"The token given by An Jiedushi is so useful that it can even open the gate." Yuan Zai lowered his voice and complimented.
Bao Canjun shook his head: "That person is not so easy to talk to. Even if you are obedient now, if we don't find out the truth, not only will we not get any benefits, but we will also be held accountable afterwards."
"Don't worry, no matter whether the murderer is a human or a ghost, I can get to the bottom of this case."
"In this case, it will be time for someone to comment on this case. After the matter is completed, the general will be grateful."
Seeing Yuan Zai's firm tone, Bao Canjun felt relieved and began to draw the pie.
At the same time, the handymen in Wuhou's shop on the corner have received the news and are gathering their team not far away.
Yuan Zai didn't take the empty promises seriously. He pointed over there and asked, "What happened?"
Although he couldn't figure out the origin of these two horses, Wu Hou who opened the door still answered truthfully: "There has been another murder. The deceased is Mingyue, the oiran of Huang Liu's family."
"Let's go and have a look." Yuan Zai suddenly became energetic.
As the saying goes, arriving early is worse than arriving by chance. The two of them did not hesitate to break the night ban and come to Pingkangfang this time just to look for clues. Now that another oiran has died, if they really want to sleep, someone will give them pillows.
Every famous Pingkang lady has her own room, and it is absolutely impossible to share a room with others, especially since she has an entire attic and twenty slaves who are proficient in various musical instruments to serve her.
Even Miss Qian Rui, whenever she sees a lady, she knows that she has to obey and bow her head to be disciplined.
At this moment, Lu Li, who was in a state of mind, really couldn't figure out why Mingyue wanted to commit suicide.
Regarding this money tree, Huang Liuniang wished she could be pampered by heaven and was determined not to be harsh.
In addition, at the level of everyone, ordinary eunuchs and officials would not dare to offend. Princes and nobles should be more respectable and would not embarrass a young lady.
That is, no motive for suicide can be found.
"Miss Qianrui." Lu Li called softly.
After being stimulated by the scene in front of her, Qian Rui, who was originally cheerful, became dull and replied in a deep voice: "What's the matter, Mr. Lang?"
"When was the last time you saw Miss Mingyue?"
"The day before yesterday, in the lobby."
Not long ago, Qian Rui learned about Lu Li's identity from his fake mother Huang Liu Niang - the Eighth Rank Judge of Dali Temple. She thought he was investigating the case and couldn't help but add: "That night, Xiang Li brought guests here for a banquet. Everyone knows My wife will perform on stage with us."
The lobby, the most elegant place in the brothel, can accommodate hundreds of guests.
As for Prime Minister Lin.
Apart from Li Linfu, who was sweet-talking and secretive, Lu Li could not think of anyone else who could be honored as Prime Minister Li.
"Did any conflicts occur at the banquet?"
"For example, someone forcefully invites Madam Du Zhi to accompany him for drinks."
Hearing this, Qian Rui made a recollection, and after a moment, she shook her head decisively: "After the dance, Prime Minister Li asked us to leave, and there was no woman to accompany us to drink."
