Chapter 645: When the God of Death appears, he will kill people after all.

Second floor of the West Building.

Among the five pavilions in Fan Tower, this one is the main building. Historically, it later housed the throne of Zhao Ji, with splendid furnishings.

Gao Qiu had indeed made arrangements. When he entered the courtyard in the middle, he was already greeted by a doctor of tea and wine, and even a shopkeeper, who warmly greeted him: "Welcome Gao Ti Di!"

Gao Qiu nodded reservedly and introduced: "This Mr. Lin is the distinguished guest I am hosting today. You must entertain me with all your heart. Madam Cui, are you ready?"

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly: "We have been waiting for you two distinguished guests for a long time. Please take a seat with Mr. Gao Tidian and Mr. Lin!"

Gao Qiu waved his hand with satisfaction, and a variety of cold fruit dishes were immediately served. The tea doctor first served the hot tea, and the wine doctor began to warm the wine. Soon the aroma of the wine overflowed, filling the hall, and mixing with the original spices.

Together, there is no conflict.

Li Yan looked at the drink: "Is this Hezhi wine?"

Dr. Jiu said: "Our guests are discerning, and this is exactly what He intended. The wine is as strong as the imperial decree, and the aftertaste is endless!"

Officials like to seek good fortune. Gao Qiu took the wine glass and took a sip. He vaguely felt that Zhao Ji's trust in him was like a surging river. He immediately praised: "Good wine!"

"Ding dong——"

While I was drinking wine, several figures came to the outside of the screen. The strings of the pipa played, the teeth of the pipa were tapped, and the light music sounded, just like beads falling on a jade plate.

Gao Qiu raised his neck and widened his eyes: "Ms. Cui is here?"

Li Yan had read a lot of books recently and had become familiar with the music. He heard it was a ditty for drinking and knew that the famous lady couldn't play it, so he smiled and said: "This is a warm spot."

Gao Qiu said with a smile: "Did you just come out after being asked for so long? Madam Cui is indeed a strong competitor for the oiran lady!"

Li Yan listened to the beautiful pipa sound and nodded.

Regardless of the price, if you want to appreciate art, coming to a hall like Fanlou is indeed the best choice.

Such a level can only be used to pave the way and raise the expectations of the guests. If it is not satisfied, it will ruin the brand. This shows that Lady Cui is also very confident. Once she makes a stunning debut, she will meet the expectations.

Looking forward to it, I am afraid that what will happen next will be haunting and unforgettable for a long time.

In the hall, cups were exchanged, and Li Yan drank wine. If the breeze blew on his face, he was just tasting the taste and would not be a little tipsy at all. However, Gao Qiu showed a tipsy attitude. He was in a happy mood and drank quickly. He was already drunk.

It's a bit superior.

But what made him frown was that the musicians behind the screen were still the ones behind the screen. Groups of dancers came to the hall to dance, but there was still no trace of Lady Cui.

He originally didn't want to lose his temper in front of Li Yan, but after waiting and waiting, he finally became impatient: "What's going on? Where is Mrs. Cui! The shopkeeper!!"

The tea wine doctor who was serving next to him changed his expression slightly, and the servants around him also quickly left. Soon the shopkeeper came in a hurry and apologized: "Ms. Cui is feeling a little unwell. She will be here later... I hope you can be better."

Haihan! Haihan!”

Gao Qiu was greatly disappointed and felt even more humiliated. He lowered his voice and gritted his teeth and said: "Don't talk to me about this. You go and call Lady Cui here now and ask her to perform well. Otherwise, Fan Lou, my emperor

Cheng Si can also make you uncomfortable driving!"

If it were someone else's threat, the shopkeeper might not be able to do anything. After all, Fanlou is the head of the seventy-two main stores, not to mention the background of imperial support. How many stable and powerful customers can provide protection for it, but the Imperial City Division still has

It's really different.

What's more, Gao Qiu's meaning is very obvious. He can't close Fan Tower, but he can make it uncomfortable. And if Fan Tower really feels uncomfortable, the first person to bear the brunt will naturally be the shopkeeper who didn't receive the distinguished guests well. He has already thought about the rest of his life.

I could no longer live the miserable life of consumption in Fan Lou, and I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, Li Yan said from the side: "Since Lady Cui is ill, let's go find another one. Is it possible that there is no lady with good skills in Fanlou in such a big place?"

The shopkeeper was startled and looked at Gao Qiu, who frowned and said, "This..."

Li Yan said: "This is for relaxation and enjoyment, so why not make it unpleasant? If you want to improve yourself, you don't have to argue with them."

Gao Qiu remembered that he was very popular among the people, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed, and he said apologetically: "What Mr. Lin said is absolutely true, but after all, it was me who did not treat him well, so I am ashamed!"

After saying that, he glared at the shopkeeper and said, "Why don't you go quickly?"

The shopkeeper was amnesty: "Yes! Yes! Please wait for two distinguished guests!"

Gao Qiu squinted at this person as he walked away quickly, but he still snorted displeasedly, showing a look of unwillingness: "I don't believe in such a coincidence. Is this Lady Cui deliberately avoiding me? She is just a prostitute, really.

Who do you think you are?"

Thinking of this, he summoned his men and gave detailed instructions.

Li Yan found that with his words, the blood light on Gao Qiu's head dissipated, but when Gao Qiu became angry and unwilling to give up, the blood light gathered again.

Combined with the dark clouds above Ding Run's head before and the changes in the bloody disaster above Gao Qiu's head, Li Yan's understanding of magical powers became clearer and clearer.

This is an ability learned from the Buddhist teachings of Zhan Tan. Judging from the current effects, it can bring blessings and disasters, and it is a perfect match for [Apprentice Death].

[Apprentice Death God] can sense the outbreak of crimes, but the scope is wide, such as this Fan Building, where people are coming and going, thousands of people are inside. If the talent is triggered alone, unless the murder happens right around you, there is no way to prevent it.

No.

Therefore, this talent is mainly used to solve crimes after the fact, and it is difficult to prevent them in advance. However, the magical power of Zhantan Merit Buddha can show misfortunes and blessings, so he hopes to give advance warning and seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.

The combination of the two, one in front of the other, the other, the talent locks the timing, the magical power locks the target, it is simply an excellent cooperation.

"At present, it seems that the murder that would have occurred has a deep connection with Mrs. Cui..."

Li Yan thought for a while, looked at Dr. Jiu who was serving next to him, and asked in a low voice: "Has Madam Cui been performing at Fan Lou recently?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Dr. Jiu quickly replied: "So that the officials know that this Lady Cui is the red card of Longquanfang, Xiaotianshui Lane, a small door of Longquanfang.

, I couldn’t get out of the oiran, so I entered my Fan Tower, and it’s only been more than a month since..."

Li Yan nodded slightly.

The competition among prostitutes is also extremely fierce. There is undoubtedly a gap from a red card lady to an oiran, and an oiran must not only have good looks and talent, but the support of the money behind it is the key. In theory, every red card lady has the qualifications to be an oiran.

However, the Xiaomen Xiaolou could not provide an oiran. Apparently, Mrs. Cui came to Fanlou to perform, on the one hand to gain fame and to build momentum, and on the other hand, she might also want to find a sponsor to support her as the next oiran.

Thinking of the famous prostitutes from this era in history, Li Yan asked: "Does this Lady Cui have a stage name?"

Dr. Jiu replied: "Ms. Cui's name is Nian Yue, and many people call her Nian Yue Niangzi."

Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "It's really Cui Nianyue..."

The famous prostitutes in the Huizong period of the Northern Song Dynasty are Li Shishi, Cui Nianyue, and Zhao Yuannu in one version, and Li Shishi, Feng Yinu, Xu Poxi, and Sun Sansi in another version.

Of course, it is also possible that the two versions do not conflict. The former is from the early and middle periods of the Huizong Dynasty, and the latter is from the late period close to the Jingkang Disgrace.

In this way, in history that has not been changed, Lady Cui succeeded.

So why is it now connected to a possible homicide?

Just as he was thinking about it, the shopkeeper hurriedly walked in, and a curvaceous lady walked in, followed by two groups of musicians, holding pipa, sheng and Xiao, and introduced: "This is the band of Yuyinfang, headed by Yu.

Madam, we don’t see non-distinguished guests on weekdays, please Gao Tidian and Mr. Lin to appreciate their skills!"

Gao Qiu took a look at this gorgeous and generous lady, and then looked at the other musicians with the same beautiful faces. If he had not made a reservation before, he would have been satisfied. But now he is a little unhappy with this kind of behavior where the quality is not enough, but the quantity is not enough.

He didn’t refuse: “Stay!”

The shopkeeper left as if he had been granted an amnesty. The Lady Jade gave her a blessed gift and began to perform with the band.

This kind of red card is indeed extraordinary. Whether it is dance or music, it has instantly risen to several levels. Gao Qiu, who has been trying to improve his talents in various fields recently, finally calmed down. He clapped his hands and praised: "Master Lin, there are so many erotic arts."

My dearest lady, we will come here more often to cultivate our body and mind."

Li Yan said: "There is a lot of right and wrong in the place of entertainment. I am afraid that it will not cultivate the body and mind here, but will cause trouble."

Gao Qiu hurriedly said: "Master Lin, where is this? It was an accident just now. I have sent my men to confirm that Lady Cui is not suffering from sudden illness. If she is, that's fine. I am not unreasonable. If not, it's okay."

, hum!"

Li Yan knew that he had misunderstood, but this kind of place of fun was indeed the most prone to similar disputes. If they disagreed, they would get into fights, and even become deadly enemies. He stopped talking and continued to enjoy it.

Gao Qiu intended to get closer to each other. The two of them enjoyed dancing and music, drank and talked and laughed. The atmosphere gradually became warm until the Imperial City Secretary's men returned.

After hearing the whispers from his subordinates, Gao Qiu's expression changed dramatically. He endured it again and again, but finally he couldn't hold it back anymore. He got drunk and started to slap the case: "This is unreasonable!"

Li Yan looked over: "What's wrong?"

Gao Qiu's chest heaved violently, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Those brats from Wu Juhou, as well as the young master of General Hou's guild, forced Lady Cui to go to the Beilou. This is clearly against me!"

"And that prostitute, she is sick to me, but she is a fool to those people! The prefect of Kaifeng and the six major chambers of commerce are so proud. She should have been sent over just now to deal with this bitch.

slave girl!"

"Forcibly invited..."

Li Yan secretly shook his head, knowing that he might not be able to make it in time. He looked at the [Apprentice Death God] which was still in effect, and had to admire the power of this talent: "Mystical power is no match for luck. Once the God of Death comes out, people will die after all.
