"Got it."
The man in black put down the box, took off his curtain and hat, revealing an alluring face.
The beautiful woman looked at his face in trance and said teasingly: "I'm used to seeing you in silk and satin, but I didn't expect that black clothes look better on you."
The beautiful woman's hand poked his chest, went down his chest, and hooked his belt.
"Auntie, don't be like this." The man held down the beautiful woman's hand as she continued to move down, and said seriously, "Check the things first, the master has important matters."
The lock on the box is ordinary in style, but it is carefully crafted by skilled craftsmen. It is difficult to open without a key.
The beautiful woman took out a key from her arms and inserted it. With a click, the copper lock opened.
"Why is it empty?"
There was nothing in the box.
"Where's the ledger?"
The beautiful woman's tone changed and she asked, "How dare you betray your master?"
"Auntie, don't talk nonsense. You have the key. What can I do?"
Their eyes fell back on the box.
"Auntie, look here, the box has been opened!"
The hinges on the back of the box have pry marks and appear to be new.
"If it's not you, it's the people from Renhe's pawn shop. I'll go find them right now!"
The beautiful woman came out of the room angrily. The man took off his black clothes and put on a white and soft silk robe. He sat down in front of the bronze mirror and gently swept the ends of his eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil.
"My ancestor, you haven't had a good rest yet? Prime Minister Guo's son wants to hear you play the piano. Please hurry up!"
Outside the room, Qingfenglou's mother came to urge her. She opened the door and saw him dressing up. She said with satisfaction: "Beautiful, don't keep Mr. Guo waiting for too long!"
"I'll come right away."
Mr. Yu responded, picked up his Qin and followed his mother out.
As soon as he came out of Renhe Pawnshop, Guo Jing asked to see him by name. Did Guo Xiang suspect him?
The madam took him to an elegant room, and Guo Jing hugged a beauty on each side without raising his eyelids.
"Young Master Yu is really a busy man. I've come here many times, but I haven't seen him once. Alas, it seems that I'm not strong enough and have disturbed Young Master Yu to take a rest!"
He came up with a strange feeling. If Mr. Yu was not the only one selected as the oiran, he would not have come to Qingfeng Tower to avoid being misunderstood that he likes men!
There are thirty-five courtesans on the thirty-sixth floor of the capital, and he is short of Mr. Yu.
"Mr. Guo's words are serious. My family is not feeling well today, and I'm afraid that I'll make him unhappy."
Guo Jing's appearance really doesn't look like he has a palace.
He had a reputation as a dandy who loved to eat, drink and have fun.
"What music do you want to hear, Master?"
Guo Jing thought for a long time.
"I heard that Mr. Yu's piano music is elegant, but I can't appreciate it and doze off after listening to it. Play a vulgar, more festive one and let me appreciate the difference."
Mr. Yu sat down cross-legged and placed the piano on his lap.
"Then let's play the song Yuanyangcuo for Mr. Guo."
Guo Jing waved his hand and continued to flirt with the beauty next to him.
The sound of the piano sounded, and Mr. Yu closed his eyes, recalling the details of going to Renhe's pawn shop just now. When was the account book lost?
They have already eliminated the people who knew about Yishantang. Is there anyone who has slipped through the net?
The sound of the piano was lingering and pathos, but before he finished playing, Guo Jing rolled up against the two beauties. He opened his eyes and glanced contemptuously, what happened to the wise and wise Guo Xiang, with such an incompetent son?
He was indeed overly worried.
After the song, he picked up the piano and left.
He went back to his room, put on black clothes, and left the city overnight.
Nine Princes' Mansion.
"Master, the box at Renhe's pawn shop has been taken away."
Chu Zhiyi opened his eyes.
Shuying stood beside the bed.
"That man entered Qingfeng Tower."
Chu Zhiyi picked up his clothes and put them on.
"You stay and let Fanying follow me to Qingfeng Tower."
Shuying has always been around him and is easily recognized by others. Fanying is in the dark and few people have seen him.
"yes!"
Chu Zhiyi dressed up and found a mark on the wall in the backyard of Qingfeng Building. The master and servant climbed over the wall and followed the mark to find the place upstairs.
"Sir, are you here to see Mr. Yu?"
There was no one in the corridor on the third floor, and the two of them were discovered by the waiter upstairs.
Is this Mr. Yu’s room?
"We are merchants who came to the capital to do business. My master heard that Mr. Yu's music is outstanding in the world, so he wanted to come and pay him a visit."
Fan Ying took out a silver ingot from his waist and threw it to the young man, "Please tell me."
The waiter who can live on the third floor is the best in Qingfeng Building. The waiter was not very happy after receiving the money, but complained jealously: "Mr. Guo also called him by name. He alone made us all... No way to survive!"
The waiter opened the door and shouted, but there was no one in the room.
"Maybe Mr. Guo, who is hosting the Prime Minister's Mansion, hasn't come back yet. Otherwise, it's the same thing for you to listen to the villain playing the piano!"
Chu Zhiyi's dress was not good or bad, but his temperament was not ordinary at first glance. It was rare to meet a handsome man, and the little boy came up and tried to pull Chu Zhiyi's sleeves.
Fanying took a step forward to fend him off.
"Since Mr. Yu is not here, let's come back another day."
The two of them went downstairs. Fanying asked about Guo Jing's wing and walked all the way there.
"Master, Mr. Yu is not in the room, but my subordinates found the mark and Mr. Yu went out."
"Master, do you want to catch up?"
It's not easy to find the mark at night. The capital is so big, and I'm afraid it's going to be daylight all the way there.
"Go back home! If you have any news, please inform me immediately."
He doesn't dare to take any more risks. Everyone around him may betray him. Being betrayed once in this life is enough!
A monk who can run away cannot run away from the temple. After finding Qingfeng Tower, he has at least got some clues.
He looked back at the busy streets and smiled coldly. How many times had he been tortured by illness and wanted the world to bury him with him... It turned out that one day he could still stand and see such beautiful scenery.
"master?"
Fanying was frightened by the smile on his lips.
Chu Zhiyi withdrew his gaze, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
In the middle of the night, Suisui felt someone in the room. There was a smell of powdered cosmetics, a very low-quality powdered cosmetics, which made her look disgusted in her sleep.
"Are you still so restless even when you're asleep?"
Chu Zhiyi reached out to help her smooth her frown, lifted the quilt, and lay down next to her.
Lian Suisui disliked the fact that the quilt was too thick and felt a little hot, so he rolled up the quilt and hugged her. Well, the quilt was cool and comfortable.
She rubbed forward again and found a comfortable position to lean on.
Has this quilt been covered by someone else? Why does it smell so strong of powder?
But she fell asleep quickly. She was too tired during the day and didn't sleep well in the first half of the night.
She really didn't look like she was sleeping, so she hugged Chu Zhiyi tightly.
"You took the initiative to provoke me!"
Chu Zhiyi opened her arm, turned her back, and held her in his arms. Lian Suisui frowned, turned over and stopped moving.
It was an extremely uncomfortable sleep, and when Lian Suisui got up in the morning, his head was very confused.
After washing my face with cold water, I woke up a little.
While eating, she smelled Xiao Tao's body, then Pei Shu's, and checked the maids in the room but found no clues.
"I didn't deduct your wages, did I? Choose the best rouge gouache for me. Don't use low-quality ones, they taste too strong!"
She couldn't figure out where the rouge smell came from last night.
It wasn't from her room. Could it be from Chu Zhiyi's room?
"Where is the prince?"
Pei Shu replied: "Your Majesty has gone out. Let me tell you that Manager Ji has prepared the carriage. You can go out at any time."
