"It seems like things aren't going well over there, either?" Tong Bo stood up with a smile, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over.
"Now the number of guards in the pavilion has more than doubled than before. When they see unfamiliar faces, they will come forward to check. I'm afraid it will be impossible to have peace in the future." The person coming was Yingzhao who was lurking in the dark. He raised his head Then he drank the tea Tong Bo handed him.
"Don't just drink tea, tell me about the situation over there." When Tong Bo saw Zi Jie being attacked, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"All the people lurking in the Ziyan Restaurant in Fengyitang suffered." Yingzhao tightened his tea cup, suppressing his anger in his heart, and said slowly: "If he hadn't run fast, I'm afraid Ying's life would have been left there. .”
"So that's it! No wonder Manager Lu said that there is no peace in the pavilion recently, so he was alluding to this matter." Tong Bo was moved in his heart and thought: "Did the pavilion take action against Fengyi Hall? No, the dead Qianhu Guards were not People from Fengyi Hall.”
"Xiangyun, why don't you say anything?" An Dafang couldn't help shouting: "If you want me to tell you what I want to do, just find the guy named Zhang and beat him up."
"What an impulsive guy? Do you think others are fools, waiting for you?" Xiao Liu choked with disdain.
"This head protector is not as useless as you." An Dafang shouted without showing any signs of weakness: "When I encounter someone named Zhang, I will rush back with my head in my arms."
"You all should stop arguing." Seeing the two of them fighting, Huan Yu quickly advised, "Listen to what Guard Tong has to say."
"Yingzhao, besides Feng Yitang, did anyone else die in Ziyan Restaurant?" Tong Bo turned a deaf ear to their noise and just asked lightly.
"Two other men and a maid were also brutally murdered." Yingzhao was stunned, but he still answered Tong Bo's question.
"It seems that it's not just for Fengyi Hall!" Tong Bo changed the topic and asked Huan Yu: "Miss Yu! Just now you told Qian Shaojun about the attack in the village, how is he going to handle the matter? ?”
"Qian Shaojun said that he would report to Manager Zhang and let him make the decision." Huan Yu shook his head: "But can that Manager Zhang be trusted?"
"Interesting! You really wiped out a whole bunch of people with one stroke!" Tong Bo smiled with enlightenment: "Yingzhao, except for the rest of the brothers in the restaurant, how is the situation?"
"Except for Ziyanxuan, all the brothers in other places have been poisoned." As a drug tester, Yingzhao has long been used to seeing life and death, but whenever his companions fall, he still restrains himself from feeling grief and anger.
"If Heaven wants it to die, it will surely make it crazy!" Tong Bo sighed secretly, unfolding the map of Ziyan Pavilion and looking at it: "Ziyan Pavilion seems to be a very interesting place, worth exploring."
Ziyan Pavilion is located in the northwest of Ziyan Pavilion. It is ten feet long and five feet high. It is built with green bricks and glazed tiles in a hexagonal shape. Under the bright sunshine, it emits a dazzling light. This pavilion is also in the pavilion. It is second only to Ziyan Tower.
Guests in the pavilion sit in a circle with several performance stages as the center, separated by mahogany landscape screens; two or three golden nanmu couches are placed in each compartment, whether to sit or lie down depends on preference; What's amazing is that there are mechanisms under the couch and above the stage. As long as you control the direction, you can move between the first and second floors of the pavilion.
On the stage, accompanied by the melodious music composed of the zither, Xiao, and flute, four girls in pink clothes opened and closed their folding fans, stood up with their feet touching the ground, and circled lightly around the girl in the middle.
The girl in the circle held both sides of the folding fan with her slender hands, covering her face; amidst the shouts of many guests, the sound of the music rose rapidly, and the folding fan slowly closed.
The girl's pretty face was as shy as the red clouds in the sky, and her heart-touching smile made the whole place quiet for three breaths; she saw her right foot touching the ground, her delicate body floating in mid-air and rotating in the opposite direction to the other girls. The folding fan was thrown towards the person in front of him at the same time, looming like stars.
"Okay, okay! Today I can see this long-lost shadow fan dance. It's really a worthwhile trip." A man in fur clothes with a fat head and big ears, holding a wheel on the couch, sat up, and two people beside him The maids in underwear each picked a grape and brought it to his mouth.
"Brother Zhao seems to be very fond of the dancer in the middle!" Lu Shaoyun, who was sitting on the couch next to him, slowly peeled off the orange in his hand and said with a hint of sadness: "It's a pity that the dancer here is hard to find, otherwise I would buy her." Send it to big brother."
"Hahaha! Shaoyun has this intention, Brother Yu is very happy." The fat man in fur clothes squinted his hands and looked at the girl on the stage, and said with a smile: "Shaoyun! You may not know, recently, Xuanzhong has said that as long as you can afford the money, you can buy any of the dancing girls here."
"What? Such a thing actually exists?" Lu Shaoyun was doubtful, and his hand peeling oranges stopped unconsciously: "But the pavilion regulations are not..."
"Shaoyun, why are you so pedantic?" The man in fur clothes wriggled his hand dishonestly around the waist of the maid in the undershirt, and said with a smile: "I've even done such a thing as sealing the pavilion, so what else is there? Rules cannot be changed.”
"That's what the eldest brother said!" Lu Shaoyun continued to peel the oranges in his hand: "I heard that the eldest brother's business has been booming recently and he is making a lot of money every day. I have to take more care of my little brother."
"Hahaha! Others are so talkative about this pavilion, but Zhao's business is booming." The man in fur clothes increased the force in his hand, causing the maid in the undershirt to make a slight "heehee" sound: "Shaoyun! As long as today If Brother Yu can get what he wants, then you can also get what you want."
"Even the shopkeeper of Ziyanxuan condescended to invite the eldest brother to come, how dare the younger brother not do anything?" Even though Lu Shaoyun was disgusted in his heart, he had to make fun of it.
"Lu Shaoyun, so you are a bastard here? You can make it easy for me to find you." Just as the man in fur clothes was talking to Lu Shaoyun, a curse startled them both.
"You, aren't you already..." But when Lu Shaoyun looked up and saw the person clearly, his face turned pale with fear.
"Shaoyun, you are so mean! You caused me to lose 20,000 taels of silver, tell me! How are you going to make up for it?" Tong Bo pretended to be Wang Junchen and greeted the empty couch next to Lu Shaoyun politely. sit.
"Jun Chen, how did you lose so much money?" The man in fur gloated and laughed at his misfortune.
"Hey! Isn't this Brother Zhao? Which beauty did you like when you came here today?" Tong Bo leaned back on the couch comfortably, without even looking at the man in fur clothes, he picked up the wine and took a sip, but He spit out another mouthful: "What kind of wine is this? It's worse than horse urine. Come on, please bring me some high-quality chalcedony wine."
"Hahaha! Long time no see, Junchen is still the same!" The man in fur clothes removed his right hand from the waist of one of the maids, and waved to the maidservant in the hall: "Come on, Shangyu Marrow wine.”
"Brother Zhao still understands me!" Tong Bo smiled slightly, remembering the situation that Zi Jie had mastered before leaving.
"Wang Junchen is arrogant, arrogant and domineering. Because he has his father, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, as his backer and has an excellent business acumen, he always acts as he pleases and doesn't take anyone seriously." Zi Jie was placed alone in the office. In a secret room of the bank, the story of Wang Junchen was told in detail: "His biggest characteristic is good wine, and he likes chalcedony wine the most."
"Oh? Aren't there a lot of people in the pavilion who know Wang Junchen?" Tong Bo secretly remembered Zi Jie's words in his mind, and at the same time thought about the problems that could easily arise from pretending.
"Indeed, there are a lot!" Zijie coughed twice, obviously his words touched the wound.
"Are you okay?" Tong Bo took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it over: "There is a myogenic pill in it, which will help your wounds heal."
"Thank you, Guard Tong." Zi Jie took the porcelain bottle and put it into his sleeve, and then said, "Wang Junchen is arrogant, and ordinary little characters will notice it."
"You mean you only need to remember a few specific people?" Tong Bo nodded: "Tell me, who are they?"
"Lu Shaoyun, Zhao Fei!" Zijie said word by word.
"I know Lu Shaoyun, a person who is engaged in various businesses." Tong Bo smiled and asked, "Who is this Zhao Fei?"
"Zhao Fei's identity is very mysterious. I haven't been able to find out one or two since he joined the cabinet." Zi Jie's eyes showed a trace of confusion: "But this person is in charge of the transportation and food procurement business in the cabinet. It can be said that he It’s not an exaggeration to be the richest man in the palace.”
"Zhao Fei! Zhao Fei!" Tong Bo murmured to himself for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Is this person born with a fat head and big ears, and likes to wear fur clothes?"
"Yes! Guard Tong has seen this person before?" Zi Jie was a little surprised. You must know that Zhao Fei has a distinguished position as the Pavilion Master and not just anyone can see him.
"Let's just say we've met each other before. It's just a one-time relationship." Tong Bo smiled slightly.
"Mr. Wang, are you really okay?" Lu Shaoyun shook his head vigorously and stared at the ugly pockmarked face for a long time, still looking like he couldn't believe it.
"Lu Shaoyun, you started cursing me as soon as I entered the house?" Tong Bo said with a straight face, pretending to be angry: "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing! It's nothing! You're fine, I'm happy for my brother!" By chance, the maid came to the bed with a tray. Lu Shaoyun grabbed the wine bottle in his hand and filled it up for Tong Bo: "Come on, come on, let me lend you flowers and offer a toast to you. .”
"That's pretty much it!" Tong Bo picked up the wine and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, if you don't want us to have a drink together, this wine can only be enjoyed by many people."
"Of course I want a drink!" The man in fur clothes didn't even move, and the humble girl in a skirt on the right had already put the wine cup to his mouth.
"Zijie, how much do you know about the situation in Ziyan Xuan?" While Tong Bo was drinking, his eyes kept observing the situation in the Xuan, and the previous conversation with Zijie flashed in his mind.
"Purple Smoke Pavilion is divided into four floors." Zi Jie looked solemn and told everything he knew: "The first and second floors are places for listening to music and dancing, while the third and fourth floors are places for accommodation. Those who can enter Zi Yan Pavilion The guests are either rich or noble.”
"Sounds like an ordinary place for fun." Tong Bo raised his chin and asked, "Why do you look so scared?"
"Because our craftsmen tried to sneak into the Xuan several times, but failed." Zijie breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed: "And the price of failure is that the head is missing."
