Although it was only a short sentence, the amount of information left Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping stunned for a long time.
Using his inner strength, he erased the small words on the table. Chu Xianping frowned, seeming to be thinking about the authenticity of the news.
Wei Changtian was also thinking about the same problem at this time.
First of all, since it is information coming from the same boat, the person who sent the message must have taken the Puppet Pill, so there is absolutely no chance of deliberately spreading false information.
Unless, someone is deliberately playing a trick...
This kind of tactic of seducing a craftsman to show up is not uncommon, and Xuan Jingsi is very good at playing this trick.
But since it is a game, you must first have an object of suspicion.
I have not yet issued any instructions to the Tongzhou Association, and to be honest, no one should be exposed.
And since the same boat group has not been exposed, there is one last possibility left -
In the court, or around Ning Yongnian, there are other craftsmen.
If combined with the stakes associated with this piece of information...
There is no doubt that it is the work of the Xu family.
Of course, this is all just speculation.
It is also possible that there is no so-called "bureau" at all, but that someone in a high position in the same boat got this "top secret" from a certain channel.
"..."
You could hear a needle drop in the room, there was a small pile of fine sawdust scattered on the table, and there was a faint woody fragrance lingering on the tip of your nose.
Wei Changtian pondered for a moment and asked Chu Xianping: "Brother Chu, what do you think about this matter?"
"It should be true..."
Chu Xianping frowned and nodded, holding the piece of jade in his hand: "I just don't know if there is any other plan in it."
"Yeah, that's what I thought."
Wei Changtian swung his sleeves and swept all the sawdust to the ground, then sat down and took a sip of tea.
"Send an order to the Tongzhou Association and ask them to keep an eye on other people who also know the matter and see if anything happens to these people."
"Okay, I'll do it later."
Chu Xianping responded, his expression gradually becoming relaxed: "But no matter what, this is a good thing for us."
"It's indeed a good thing..."
Wei Changtian smiled.
"I was worried that I didn't have enough chips, so this is what I came to."
...
...
During the Chou period, there was the Yao Tower in Pingchangfang, the capital city.
Since the Xu family's rebellion, the business of the brothels in Pingchangfang has not been as easy as before.
It’s not because these fireworks women and prostitutes are so “concerned about the country and the people” that they are concerned about family and national affairs and have no intention of enjoying themselves.
The main reason for the decline in performance is due to the curfew system.
From Zi Shi to Mao Shi, no one is allowed to walk outside except for sudden illness, death, and burial.
Therefore, the guests of the brothel either have to leave before midnight or stay overnight in the brothel.
However, many men do not have the same "family status" as Wei Changtian. They usually visit brothels secretly, let alone stay out at night.
Therefore, it is normal for passenger traffic to drop sharply.
"..."
"Hey! Mr. Xiang, you haven't been here for a while!"
In the hall decorated with colorful silks, a richly dressed madam greeted a middle-aged man who had just walked in with a smile on his face.
It was already past his prime, and strictly speaking, this person had violated the law.
But with this lord’s official position, no one would dare to say anything.
"Sit down first and drink some wine to warm yourself up!"
"I'm going to get Qin'er ready!"
"You guys! Serve Master Xiang well!"
After finally waiting for a financial sponsor, the madam will naturally not let him go.
She stretched out her hand to invite some girls to drink with the man, while she turned around with a smile and left quickly, probably to find the man's "old sweetheart".
"Master Xiang~ This slave has recently practiced the skill of overturning the phoenix~ Sir, do you want to try it~"
"Yes, Master Xiang~ Sister Qin'er just took over a guest, please go around her~"
"Our sisters are no worse than sister Qin'er~"
"Xing'er just learned the new song Chunjianghuayueyue yesterday. Would you like to listen to it?"
"..."
Yingying and Yanyan surrounded the surroundings, and several girls were trying their best to "pinch the corner".
If Wei Changtian were here at this moment, he would probably sigh, "This industry is also involved in the involution," and then enjoy the experience.
However, the middle-aged man was obviously not in such a mood. While dealing with the women with a forced smile, he kept casting his eyes in the direction where the madam left.
It wasn't until the latter appeared again and came over that he finally breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
"Master Xiang, Miss Qin'er has packed everything."
The madam said with a smile on her face: "Would you like to go over now or play with other girls for a while?"
"Take me there."
The man threw down a bag of silver, pushed away a few charming women nestled in his arms, and slowly stood up.
"Okay, sir, please come this way."
The madam nodded and walked in front, and the man followed, all the way to the door of an embroidery room on the second floor.
"Master Xiang, I will go down first. If you need anything, just call me." The old bustard lowered his head.
"Um."
The man nodded, not noticing the beads of sweat on the madam's forehead. He stretched out his hand to open the door and walked in.
The embroidery room is very large, divided into two rooms, inside and outside.
After bypassing a screen and entering the inner room, there was hot tea on the table, but strangely there was no one around.
For a moment, the man felt something bad, and he immediately turned around and wanted to leave.
But at this moment, an old eunuch in purple robe appeared out of nowhere and looked at him with a serious smile.
"Li, Eunuch Li..."
"Haha, Lord Xiang, didn't you just discuss things with the emperor?"
Li Huaizhong squinted his eyes and took a step closer with a cold expression: "Why did you come to Yao Tower now?"
"me......"
The man panicked for a moment, but soon calmed down.
He snorted coldly and yelled with an inward look: "Hmph! Eunuch Li, do I need to inform you in advance when I come to visit a brothel?!"
"Of course it's not necessary."
Li Huaizhong gently cupped his hands and said, "Our family is just following the emperor's order to take Mr. Xiang back to the palace."
"Back to the palace?"
The man's body trembled slightly, but his expression remained unchanged: "What are you doing back in the palace?"
"Master Xiang, our family doesn't know about this."
Li Huaizhong raised his head and looked over, his eyes seeming sarcastic: "Maybe you know better?"
"..."
The cold night wind blew in from the window, and the sweet laughter that had just come one after another outside the house had stopped at some point.
"call!"
Several candle lights in the room were suddenly extinguished, and immediately the two figures disappeared from the spot, crisscrossing back and forth several times in the blink of an eye.
"Whoosh!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Crack!"
"..."
As if everything that had just happened was an illusion, the room returned to silence after a few breaths.
Only a third-level man was no match for Li Huaizhong, who had recovered from his hidden illness. After three moves, the latter twisted his arms and stepped on him.
"Master Xiang, you are stupid..."
Leaning over and looking at the man curled up on the ground sweating profusely, Li Huaizhong chuckled softly:
"Don't even think about how the Xu family can defeat the emperor."
