Chapter 182 – Who is the Benefactor Tonight (Next)

Fuyin climbed to his feet, patted the dust and footprints on his clothes, and slipped away toward the side of the house with his head down. He was dressed in cloth, and his face was so unassuming and nondescript that at first glance he looked no different from a servant in a brothel.

In the day, he heard that the Lin Hua Pavilion held a combing event at night, and he thought it was just what he wanted, after all, the more people the more clutter, the more he could cover his tracks. Who would have guessed that there would be a farce, causing him to be nearly hit by a concealed weapon and trampled by the guests as soon as he entered. Now he just hoped that no one would notice him, so that he could disappear without any problems.

Jing Hongchou stood on the outer corridor of the second floor and spotted Fuyin’s figure at a glance, subconsciously putting her veil back on.

The matter of tracking the floating sound is an arrow that has to be sent, and the unexpected appearance of Lord Su …… He hesitated slightly, and finally decided not to recognize each other first.

Fuyin was in Linhua Pavilion at the moment, and in case she knew Lord Su’s identity, who knows if she would have any malicious intent. Besides, Shen Qi was also present, so at least Lord Su’s personal safety was guaranteed.

That being the case, there is no need to make trouble. After all, His Excellency takes his official duties seriously, so it’s better to complete the tasks he has explained to him first, and then come back to explain to His Excellency.

Thinking so, Jing Hongchou quietly left the outer corridor and chased after Fuyin’s footsteps.

Su Yan didn’t recognize Fuyin, and didn’t notice the servant who got up after falling down in the doorway, but had been paying attention to “Little Red” upstairs. Seeing that the silhouette disappeared in a flash, he hurriedly said to Ruan Hongjiao: “Sister Ruan, this place is a bit chaotic, you’d better go back to Rouge Alley first. When you go out, please explain to my boy and tell him to keep waiting, I’ll be back in a little while.”

Ruan Hongxiao stood up steadily with his assistance and asked with a trembling voice, “Sir, do you have any enemies in the capital?”

Su Yan froze, “No, I have always been good with people …… uh, actually there are, political enemies, the number is quite a lot.”

“Gongzi look back, that guy behind you who is fierce, is he an enemy, or a political enemy?” Ruan Hongjiao timidly pointed with her fingertips and whispered.

Su Yan turned around to meet Shen Qi, and after being stunned, he laughed dryly and somewhat sheepishly, “Neither of them. That’s my brother.”

Ruan red banana this is a sigh of relief, the finger does not shake, retracted naturally turned into orchid fingers, straightened the hair on the temples of the phoenix hairpin is about to fall, “Prince, you said yourself, pro sister and brother clear accounts. This brother is the same, how much money owed to others, hurry to pay it back, if really shy, I can first help you advance payment. When you have your salary, then you can pay back the slave.”

Su Yan was crying and laughing, Shen Qi answered for him, “What is owed is not money, it’s a debt.”

“What debt?”

“Windfall!”

Ruan Hongjiao was stunned, suddenly reacted and asked Su Yan quietly, “Is this a fellow officer, a guard, or a powerful noble? Or is it a relative of that family of powerful people?”

Su Yan no matter how thick-skinned, at this moment also feel sweaty, said to himself “I go to the convenience of a moment”, and then want to urinate.

“Stop!” Shen Qi drank him down and smiled grimly at Ruan Hongjiao, “He did tell you everything. Ruan Hongjiao, I’ll make a deal with you, from now on, you won’t see Su Yan anymore, and I’ll find someone to release your brother who was sent to the border army for a crime, how about that?”

Ruan Hongjiao was horrified and took two steps back. She stared at Shen Qi’s face and seemed to recall something.

Su Yan frowned slightly and said, “Qilang, don’t break the law. Besides, this isn’t a deal, it’s an insult.”

“Nu Jia remembered, you are Lord Shen of the Brocade Guard.” Ruan Hongjiao took a deep breath, his face gradually regained its calmness, “If Lord Shen is ordering my slave not to see Prince Su, and the people do not fight with the officials, my slave can obey the order. But whether or not your son comes to see my slave, that’s his own business, and I’m afraid that Lord Shen can’t force him to do so. As for my brother, let him continue to atone for his sins on the border, it would be a disservice to release him.”

These words were answered in a non-condescending manner, not to mention Su Yan looked at her approvingly, even Shen Qi couldn’t help but think highly of this flower girl for a few points in her heart, thinking that she was clear-minded and bold, and the jealousy directed at her couldn’t help but fade a bit.

Shen Qi said carelessly, “In that case, then you shouldn’t see him. On his side, I’ll take care of it myself.”

Ruan Hongjiao’s eyes swiveled between the two, and if she was enlightened, she hid her gourd: “I see, slave will avoid suspicion.”

She blessed her body towards Su Yan, “Slaves take their leave, take care, Your Excellency.”

After Fang took a few steps, he turned back to Shen Qi and said: ”Lord Shen is originally a rare visitor to our Rouge Alley, and I’m afraid he will never come to take care of the sisters’ business in the future. As for the rumors at the Changchun Courtyard, do you need my slave to help dispel them? After all, it’s about your honor’s reputation in that area, and it’s not good to let the little herdsmen chew the cud.”

Shen Qi said morosely, “If you’re not leaving yet, do you want to eat prison food?”

Ruan Hongjiao rely on their own temperament and experience to hold up the scene, in the end, or afraid of his body’s harshness, was intimidated by this is more anxious, can not help but have some regrets, because of the bottom of the heart that can not be said to be jealous of the last few words is clearly a provocation, in case it really pissed off the other party, how to end the situation?

That is the Jinyiwei North Zhenfu Division’s sitting officer, the famous “life-destroying seventh son”! Ruan Hongjiao walked out of the door of Lin Hua Pavilion and was blown by the night breeze before she suddenly felt her hands and feet soften and cold sweat seep out. She half-volted on the body of the maidservant, wiped the corner of her forehead with a handkerchief and lamented: “Woe comes out of the mouth, ai, in the future we should be careful with our words and actions.”

Another servant girl eyed the crowd on the street and said, “Look, girl, those guests are not willing to do so and are still grabbing the bead flower miles.”

As he spoke, the tall man who was surrounded by the crowd in the center of the room, easily rowed out of the crowd.

The johns saw that he was a tough guy, so they had to die. Most of the customers who came for the red silk image were unhappy and left, while some returned to Lin Hua Pavilion to continue to have fun.

The man casually tucked the beaded flower into his lapel and walked towards the entrance of Lin Hua Pavilion.

Under the bright light of the lantern, Ruan Hongxiao saw a clear, see his appearance, can be said to be the most handsome man she has ever seen, a basalt-colored trailing and no gorgeous pattern, but the fabric is superior, fine workmanship, not ordinary people can wear. Heart: this person is looking forward to flying, extraordinary temperament. This small Lin Hua Pavilion is today according to what lucky star, actually attracted this many big names to visit.

Although no intention to hook up, but also inevitably occupational disease attack, Ruan Hong Banana pulled hair temples, picked the most attractive angle to the man, but saw the other side of the eye without looking at the shoulder, as if they did not see in front of a thousand charming beauty in general.

Ruan Hongjiao froze, looked at the man’s back and gritted her teeth, “Another crooked one!”

“What did the girl say, what does bent mean?” The servant girl asked curiously.

Ruan Hongxiao, learning now from Su Yan, said, “He’s only willing to sleep with men.”

The servant girl sighed regretfully, “Wouldn’t it be better to give him away for free?”

Ruan Hongxiao glared at her in exasperation and amusement, “Let’s go.”

Inside the hall, Su Yan asked Shen Qi with an unkind face, “Let’s not mention those crap things about you from the past, I have nothing to say about single men solving their physiological needs – what does Changchunyuan mean? Don’t think I don’t know, that’s the biggest south wind pavilion in the capital.”

Shen Qi stiffened his face and said, “There’s no such thing, don’t listen to that kilted sister’s bullshit.”

“She didn’t have to lie at the risk of offending you, it was clearly a slip of the tongue. Good wow, at first you in front of me is how to say? Said you originally not good this way, as soon as you see me on …… on ……” “on” for a long time, did not have the heart to say out.

Shen Qi said for him, “‘I was not good at this either, but as soon as I saw you, I was better.'”

Su Yan huffed and cursed, “I believed you! Liar! Thousand-dagger son of a bitch!”

Shen Qi was scolded, but instead revealed a hint of a smile, “Are you so angry because I’ve been to Changchun Courtyard, or do you think that after I slept with you, I went to sleep with the little herdsman again?”

“I’m pissed as hell. Whichever one you like to sleep with, it’s none of my business, just don’t come back to provoke me.” Su Yan forced down the sourness in his heart, his tone cold.

On the contrary, Shen Qi laughed softly, stepped forward to hold him in his arms, and said with his ear attached, “Whether you are jealous and angry, or pretending to be cold, it shows that you care about me in your heart. My husband is right is not right, my wife?”

Su Yan couldn’t break free, kicked him in the calf, “Let …… go! In public, the face can not be ……”

“This is a green house, what is least lacking is love and lust, what is least rare is face. If you don’t believe me, look around, who cares about the two of us?”

Su Yan look around are talking and laughing men and women, but see a piece of spring, do not see half a bit of etiquette, really is the red skirt splash water mandarin ducks wet, a few times the clouds, where there is still care what the rules and regulations? No one will show a fuss about the intimacy between the two men.

Only except for the man in black with an ugly face at the door of the hall …… That is King Yu?

Su Yan was startled and said to Shen Qi, “King Yu is here! He’s watching us.”

“Love to come, love to see, just watch, whatever.” Shen Qi concentrated on sniffing the light fragrance inside his collar, “The matter of Changchunyuan, to be free, then slowly explain to you ……”

Su Yan was not in the mood to listen to explanations right now, when he saw King Yu, he thought of the face of the emperor who had a five or six point resemblance to him, which in turn led him to think of the warning that the Son of Heaven had no words:

Whoever dares to climb the branch and steal the incense, I will break his hand.

I will not move you, only the one who moves you.

And then think of the four heavenly kings behind the spirit of the general, the heart of the bitter: tonight in the green house, eighty percent can not escape the emperor’s eyes and ears, the original just want to come to see a lively and harmless, how to somehow get themselves into it?

He said urgently, “Seventh son, Seventh son, let go, the Emperor is watching!”

A pot of snow water splashed down on his head, freezing the hot fire into an ice blade, Shen Qi gritted his teeth and hated it, “What exactly does he want! A king taking his wife?”

Su Yan was busy covering his mouth, “King Yu is coming over, don’t tell him to hear!” Saying this, he pushed Shen Qi away and pretended to break his foot himself, holding onto the pillar next to him.

King Yu walked to the front, the color is still normal, and did not like Su Yan expected to raise the charge, but mockingly raised an eyebrow: “The two of you are really good pleasure, hand in hand to stroll in the green house. How, the love of colleagues is still too insufficient, but also want to lead a fellow boots of friendship?”

Su Yan saw that King Yu was wearing civilian clothes, thinking that he did not want to expose his identity, so he did not salute, and responded with a smile, “Chance encounter, chance encounter, are here to see the hilarity. How, you so identity, also come to this kind of place, make a fuss?”

King Yu said, “Not to get along, but to come after one.”

Su Yan restrained his fake smile and asked, “Who was that person, Fuyin?”

“…… Fuyin, Yin Fu.” King Yu quickly figured out the three flavors of it, “It seems that you all more or less know some inside information, and you’re only hiding it from me?”

If there is still a little bit of resentment towards King Yu, it falls on this matter. Su Yan has long known the identity of Yin Fu, but in order not to scare the snake, and did not remind the King of Yu, so for the sake of the overall situation and put him in danger, and later heard A chase said that the other side was caught off guard, ate the suffering of the soul of the flying sound.

Su Yan had a guilty conscience in his heart, and rarely gave Yu Wang a good face, “The matter of floating sound, when I have time, I will slowly explain to you.”

This sounds familiar, and it seems to apply the words he just said …… Shen Qi suspected that Su Yan was deliberately angry with him, and with a very helpless expression, he glanced at his own careful mother.

Su Yan didn’t bother, then said to King Yu, “The most important thing right now is to track down Fuyin, catch the person who contacted him, and follow the trail to find the person behind it.”

King Yu’s thoughts coincided with his and regretfully said, “It’s a pity that the plan was disrupted by a beaded flower and the chase was lost.”

Su Yan shook his head, “I guess someone has already gone after them.”

“Who?”

“…… Red girl. That’s the same purser you’ve all been rushing to comb and gather this evening.”

“I didn’t rob.” Shen Qi and King Yu clarified themselves white at the same time, gave each other a hostile glance, and asked in unison, “Who is she?”

Su Yan smiled badly, “I won’t tell you.”

Shen Qi was so angry that his teeth itched. King Yu pretended to be generous and said, “Since it’s your people, I won’t ask – Fuyin is good at fighting, a greenhouse girl is afraid that he’s not his match. Where is the person, I’ll go after him.”

Su Yan said, “It’s in this Lin Hua Pavilion, why don’t the three of us split up and search?”

Shen Qi said, “Splitting up is fine, but not three. I’ll send you out to the carriage, you go back first, and leave the rest to me.”

King Yu: “Leave it to me.”

Su Yan was dissatisfied, “On what grounds do you exclude me as a party?”

Shen Qi Yu Wang: “You don’t know martial arts.”

Su Yan glared at them, “You’re the ones with the same boots …… bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah! Yuck yuck! You’re the ones who are all in the same boat, aren’t you? Anyway, I’m not leaving, all three of you are here, I can’t stay out of it.”

Shen Qi thought about it and said, “Just as well, it’s not like I can’t protect you. Stay close to me.”

King Yu reached out to stop, “In terms of martial arts, Shen Qi is far worse than me, it’s safer for Qinghe to follow me.”

Shen Qi sneered, “You let him choose?”

Su Yan immediately stood next to Shen Qi and glanced at King Yu with a bit of apology.

King Yu was quite graceful and closed his hand, “Then let’s split the army into two, which side will find it first and how will we inform the other side?”

Shen Qi fished out a special firework with special sound for the Brocade Guards from his bosom and threw it to him.

King Yu saw Shen Qi and Su Yan went to the east half, he was ready to go to the west half. He put the fireworks away into his lapel, his fingers touched a hard object, pulled it out and saw that it was the bead flower he had just picked up.

This thing that everyone is grabbing, is it the token of the red girl?

Bawdler to the guests who returned from the defeat, turn back to the hall, see Yu Wang hand holding bead flower, will be up and down to look carefully. Bawdler eyes poison, can see that this black man is not rich or noble, immediately welcomed with a smile: “Aigoo, so tonight’s delicate guests here, tsk, look at the whole body style, and our red girl is really a match made in heaven!”

“Imaging sis-er -挽红绡-” she shouted at the top of her lungs towards the second floor, not seeing Xiaohong’s figure, she became irritated, “Where did this girl die? Where is this girl? No, I have to go and catch her!”

Turning her head, she instructed the two sisters, “You two take good care of the dainty guests, and wait for mama to go get Miss Hong.” Saying this, she hurriedly left.

The two prostitutes laughed and chucked them over from side to side. King Yu frowned and threw the beaded flowers into their hands, “I’m not good with women’s colors.” He said, “I don’t like women’s colors.

The bawdess greeted a few healthy men to follow and looked around for Xiao Hong.

Walking to a side room in the backyard, he suddenly saw that Kamek had opened the door to the room and was furtively signaling a young and clean servant to come in.

Bawdler was furious, rushed forward, twisted the ear of the tortoise: “The old tortoise! And I have a drop of rain here, but it turns out that secretly raised a thief! You’re such a soft worm, who can move into the house, such a face to pull people to the house, do not know shame?”

The servant lowered his head, killing intent flashing in his eyes.

The tortoise male crooked his neck and begged for mercy while looking at the servant with pleading eyes, and when he saw that the other party was indifferent, his eyes took on a threatening look.

That servant slowly withdrew his killing intent and only stood aside and watched with cold eyes.

The bawdess split her head and scolded, wringing out the pain, blasted the turtle male into the house, and then drank to the servant: “What are you doing standing around? He recruited you to come in, you have to listen to my orders. Go, find the red girl and send her over to tonight’s honored guest!”

The servant bowed his head and replied, “I just came, I don’t know which one is Miss Hong, nor do I know who her benefactor is.”

The bawd was about to describe some, suddenly glimpsed Xiaohong turned the corner of the corridor appeared, busy calling: “Daughter, the original you are here, so that mom good to find!”

Little Red came over with her skirt flying, her eyes above her veil awe-inspiring, staring at the servant, “Found it.”

The servant surveyed her, his eyes suspicious.

“Found it found it,” said the bawdess joyfully, “quickly go to receive customers. Daughter ah, you really good vision, beads and flowers a vote in a big gold master. Mom told you, that guest is handsome and rich, just the ink jade hairpin on his head–“

With a flick of Xiao Hong’s fingertips, the bawdler lost her voice abruptly and fainted on the ground.

Kamek screamed in shock and ran over to pick up the bustard’s head in his lap and try to wake her up.

Seeing this, a few fighters behind the bawdler hurriedly pounced towards Xiao Hong, and before they could get close, they were shocked by the true qi and fell out backwards into a heap.

The servant straightened his waist, revealing a doll face with dimpled swirls, and his gaze was stern, as if he was facing a great enemy: “It s you …… master brother.”

“Little Red pulled off her veil and said in a cold, bright male voice: “Is this man who lazily stays in bed and doesn’t go out every day your contact? What secrets are hidden in his room? Or rather, where does it lead to?”

The crane bone flute slipped out of his sleeve. Floating Sound knew that she was no match for her senior brother in terms of swordplay, and as she hastily withdrew and floated away backwards, she blew the flute.
