Wangyue Tower is a famous teahouse in Beijing. It is located on the most prosperous street in Beijing. It is adjacent to Jingyue Lake and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake while sitting in the building.
Every night, the business of Wangyue Tower is very good, and there are many powerful officials and gentry who come in and out here.
A pot of tea and a piece of pure music are also beautiful things in the world.
That night.
Most of the customers in Wangyue Tower had left, but there was only one person in the lobby who had not left. The waiter came over and said to that person: "Sir, our store is about to close, do you think?"
The man raised his head, revealing Xiao Chengyi's handsome face. He drank the last sip of tea in the cup with a slight smile, then put down the tea cup, took out a token from his arms and put it on the table: "I want to see your host.
.”
The waiter was stunned. He looked at the token on the table and looked at the man in front of him. After a while, he picked up the token and said, "Sir, please wait a moment."
Xiao Chengyi nodded slightly, added another cup of tea, and then looked out the window at the moonlight reflected in the lake, which is how the Moon Tower got its name.
After the cup of tea was finished, the waiter came back. He stretched out his hand and made an invitation: "Master, please come upstairs."
Xiao Chengyi stood up, was led by the waiter to the top floor of Wangyue Tower, and then opened one of the room doors.
After bringing the person here, the waiter left.
Xiao Chengyi walked in and saw that the room was somewhat mysteriously decorated. There were overlapping layers of white gauze curtains everywhere, and there was a faint fragrance in the room.
He frowned, looked around, and vaguely saw a vague figure from behind the layers of gauze curtains: "You are the owner of Wangyue Tower?"
"Are you from the General's Mansion?"
The man did not answer his words, but asked instead: "Young Master is really talented. He actually learned the location of Wangyue Tower from them. It's really admirable."
Xiao Chengyi heard that the voice was a man, and he must be young. He chuckled: "The poster is the one with good skills."
The man said again: "Are you Xiao Chengyi?"
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "Does the poster know about Xiao?"
The man's low voice revealed a trace of envy: "Young Master Xiao's name should be well-known in the capital. It is rumored that you are the illegitimate son of General Mu, and now you have fulfilled your wish and become the Young Master of the General's Palace, and you have also received benefits.
It’s such a blessing to be recognized by the county boss.”
"Compared with Your Excellency, Xiao's fortune is indeed good."
Xiao Chengyi stroked his sleeves casually and looked at the person behind the layers of gauze: "After all, Xiao can walk in front of others openly, but you, sir, have to hide here and don't even dare to see anyone.
If I guessed correctly, you should be the illegitimate son of the Han family who was beaten to death in front of the house by Mrs. Han last year. You took this business just to frame the Han family and let the General's Mansion avenge you. I'm right.
?”
The person behind the gauze did not say anything, and Xiao Chengyi did not play charades with him anymore. He took out a flying knife from his sleeve and flew towards the gauze curtain.
Just hearing the sound of squeaking, the layers of gauze were torn apart by flying knives and slowly fell to the ground, revealing the man hidden behind the gauze.
He was wearing a moon-white brocade robe, sitting in a wheelchair, with a silver mask covering his face and only a thin lip showing, but he looked like a young man.
