From nine o'clock in the morning, the sky was a little drowsy.

There will always be heavy rain in early summer, which has become a common practice.

drop!

The bus driver grabbed the horn's airbag, and the brass horn on the right side of the front of the car made a harsh sound, reminding the two young people in front to lean aside so as not to have an accident.

Who would have thought that the person who was walking outside seemed to be shocked by the sudden sound, jumped inside, and happened to hit his companion, and both of them staggered.

"Haha~ Lao Lu, I didn't realize that you are so brave, and you can still be scared by the sound of horns?"

Zhou Ze, who had a set of pancakes in his hand, looked at Lu Jiu who was overreacting, pressed against his shoulder, and smiled teasingly.

"I'm just thinking about something else."

Although Lu Jiu was now a little sensitive to similar voices when he was at the station yesterday, he was indeed thinking about other things just now.

With the actions of yesterday afternoon and thoughts at night, Lu Jiu decided to solve the most important blood demand problem at the moment. As time goes by, he can clearly feel that the blood in his body is being consumed. If he cannot be replenished in time, the consequences will be without further ado.

Therefore, this morning, he specially asked someone in the newspaper to help him collect some information about private pharmaceutical workshops in order to help him collect some information about private pharmaceutical workshops. What he just thought was whether he had other means to obtain special blood.

Of course, Lu Jiu did not intend to share this matter with Zhou Ze. In order to change the topic, he spoke on his own initiative: "You said you wanted to take me out to find new hot spots, but the result was that you were still wandering in the south of the city until now?"

Perhaps because of the promotion, Zhou Ze's work enthusiasm was quite high. The young master was very concerned about the job of the visitor. He just reviewed the manuscripts handed over by other visitors this morning. He felt dissatisfied and wanted to drag Lu Jiu, who was sorting out information with someone, to come out, saying that he wanted to personally dig out the hot spots.

Lu Jiu thought that he might have encountered something similar to the crow, so he did not refuse.

As a result, it was noon, and the two of them only walked around a few tea shops in the south of the city and the tavern. Apart from those trivial family matters, they could only sway their wine and drinks were preserved as the result.

"Don't worry, I actually made an appointment with someone to meet at noon. I just went to try my luck before."

Zhou Ze still looked confident when he questioned Lu Jiu. The former didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort himself that he had been out for so long and had nothing to do when he went back, so he just thought it was going out for a walk.

After walking along the street, Zhou Ze suddenly stopped. Lu Jiu was looking at a doctor You Fang carrying a bamboo box not far away, thinking about whether to go over and ask, but when he noticed that his companions stopped, he had to stop.

"Our informant has arrived."

Take out a stack of banknotes from your pocket, turn around and walk into the alley beside you.

"Informer?"

Lu Jiu asked in surprise, he had never heard of visiting clerks looking for informants.

When he saw the few people waiting in the alley, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

With ragged clothes full of patches, messy hair like a chicken coop for a long time, and the bamboo pole in his hand, Lu Jiu looked at the "informers" in front of him and kept awkward but polite smile.

Unexpectedly, these beggars knew a lot of news.

"Uncle Zhou, the crow group in the north of the city probably wasn't poisoning. I asked my brothers over there, and they all said that they had heard gunshots and explosions at night. Someone saw a stall that was overturned. There was no food inside and there was bird droppings underneath!"

The leader was an older beggar who first bowed and spoke very neatly.

"Well, this news is interesting, take it."

Zhou Ze blinked to Lu Jiu, then took out a banknote with a denomination of 100 copper coins issued by the bank and put it in the beggar's hands.

"Is there any special news? What I want is the kind of attractive news."

"Yes, I wonder if you watched the courtesan parade last night?"

It seemed that he had known that Zhou Ze would have such a question, and the beggar rubbed his hands and asked back.

"This is just once a month, and this month is particularly interesting, of course I watched it."

Zhou Ze's answer was very honest.

When talking about the courtesan parade, Lu Jiu, who was originally playing soy sauce next to him, immediately thought of the team he saw last night. He also felt a little energetic for a moment, preparing to hear what he could say.

"I have a few brothers who specialize in making a living at the entrance of the Peony Tower. In recent days, I heard something happened in the Peony Tower. I could hear someone shouting in the middle of the night... It's not that kind of scream, but the kind of screams that I'm scared."

Afraid that the two of them misunderstood, the beggar first compared to a gesture that the man understood with both hands, then waved his hand to deny it, and then said,

"Later, there were rumors that several of the guests who stayed in the Peony Tower had their hair pulled out, not one or two, but a large handful. The kind that could be clearly seen was like being gnawed by something. So the Peony Tower even brought out a big float yesterday, and the current courtesan in the building came out to suppress the rumors that damaged their reputation."

"Lao Lu, how is this news? Mudan Tower is a famous brothel in Qingding City. There must be many people who are willing to read the news about it. Should I go and take a look?"

Although it was a questioning tone, judging from Zhou Ze's expression, he was obviously eager to try and wanted to run over now.

"It sounds like it's worth exploring, but... are you going to go now?"

In fact, when the beggar mentioned that something was "chewing" people's hair, Lu Jiu became interested. However, in his impression, although most of the Peony Buildings were pure prostitutes and belonged to the category of selling arts but not selling body, they were not ordinary restaurants after all. Now it was not even the noon, which was too early.

"Of course not now. The newspaper has not yet applied for the tea and water fee. The expenses in the Peony Building are quite large, and I said I would treat you to a meal before. There is no other place in Qingding City that is more delicious than the food in the Peony Building."

As interviewers who are specialized in the anecdotes, their application fee for tea and water is undoubtedly larger than others, which was personally agreed by the newspaper shopkeeper.

What else can Lu Jiu say about this?

In the memory of his predecessor, he has never been to a lower-level restaurant. One is that he has no money and the other is that he has no courage, and Zhou Ze is different.

In the entire Yunling newspaper, he could have patted his chest and said that no one knew Peony Tower better than him.

But Lu Jiu did go to find the suspicious creature in the beggar's mouth.
