He poured himself a cup of tea and said, "You have to ask the devil about this."
Yu Sheng stood at the window and looked down, seeing pedestrians like ants, and the pavilions and pavilions behind Xunwei Zhai were clearly visible.
Looking along the way, there is prosperity in full bloom, the pond is green, the covered bridge spans it, the red gauze tent is warm, and the charming smiles spread to the upper floors.
Although Xunweizhai is not as good as the City Lord's Mansion, it has created a world between its dimensions. It is really not easy to find this ghost.
Yu Sheng's eyes passed through the waterside pavilion, and behind a pond, there were high walls and trees.
Yu Sheng could also see outside the wall. The house inside was low and dark. Although there were people there, there was no life in it.
Zhou Dafu came over and told Yu Sheng that that was where Shopkeeper Liu kept the slaves.
Yu Sheng nodded, and then shifted his gaze back to the several acres of ponds. To create a water ghost, you need water. These places are the most suspicious.
"Where is that place?" Yu Sheng pointed to the garden with water pavilions and ponds in front of the high wall. This garden was the most spacious and had the fewest people in it.
Zhou Dafu took a look and said, "That's shopkeeper Liu's own place. Guests can't enter at all, and..."
"And what?" Bai Gaoxing walked up and asked.
Zhou Dafu looked at him and said, "You know Fuyu Mountain, right?"
Of course Bai Gaoxing knew that there was a demonic beast coming out of Fuyu Mountain, which made all the people in the wilderness change their minds. Even the demon-catching heavenly master would not dare to mess with it.
The name of this monster is Zhi. Its shape is like a tiger with an ox's tail, and its sound is like a barking dog. It loves to eat people most of its life.
"Shopkeeper Liu is from Fuyu Mountain." What Zhou Dafu wanted to say made Bai's happy heart sink.
"No matter how high the wall is, it cannot contain the slaves' yearning for freedom."
Zhou Dafu pointed to the high wall, "But slaves would rather escape through the heavily guarded gate than here."
"It is rumored that there is a pig in the garden of shopkeeper Liu." Zhou Dafu said.
Yu Sheng's face also became serious. In the wilderness, pigs are not pigs, but a monster that is difficult to deal with.
He looked at Bai happily and asked, "Can we handle it?"
Bai Gaoxing frowned and said: "The pig is equivalent to a five-coin heavenly master. With your ability to subdue Master Shan, you can barely fight."
"But," he looked at Yu Sheng, "it's just barely, and the battle lasts a long time, and any movement will definitely alert the guards."
"Draw the route." Yu Sheng waved to Ye Zigao, and they returned to the table, "That place needs to be inspected."
Chu Sheng said: "If you ask me, just take Jin Yiwei and go directly to investigate."
"If the body is not inside, how can we explain it to others?" Zhou Dafu said, "Don't think that Xunweizhai has no spies in the city."
Everyone was quiet for a while, thinking hard about countermeasures.
"Bang bang", there was a knock on the door outside, and Ye Zigao hurriedly put away his paintbrush.
"Come in." Zhou Dafu said. The maid came in and brought the food.
"Come, let's eat first and think about it later." Chu Sheng asked everyone to sit down.
Yu Sheng glanced at it and saw that the food was sumptuous, the dishes were exquisitely presented, and the heat and aroma hit his nose.
Knowing that he would not eat fish for the rest of his life, when he ordered the dish, Zhou Dafu asked the maid to remove all the fish in the water.
Chu Sheng placed a plate of Mapo Tofu in front of Yu Sheng, "Try the Mapo Tofu from Xunweizhai."
Yu Sheng glanced at it and saw that the mapo tofu was attractive in color, but the problem was that the thickening technique was not good enough, making it unbearably hot.
"There are also braised tofu and fried tofu." the maid said while setting the dishes.
After the maid retreated, Zhou Dafu said: "Xunweizhai is good, but I don't want your inn to be full of Mapo Tofu all day long."
"I'm too busy with mundane duties, so I'm too lazy to show you my skills." Yu Sheng took a piece of mapo tofu and got to know his opponent before competing.
As Yu Sheng expected, this dish was perfect. The only shortcoming was the timing and technique of thickening.
The timing of thickening determines the moisture and taste of tofu, and the method of thickening determines the "liveness" of tofu.
After only tasting one piece, Yu Sheng pushed the dish away. If nothing unexpected happens, Mapo will definitely win tomorrow.
Someone knocked on the door again, and Chu Ci and Zhou Jiuzhang walked in.
"Zhuang Zisheng and Bu Ju detained Shopkeeper Liu." Chu Ci sat down and asked, "How are you doing with your inquiries?"
Zhou Dafu told Chu Ci their suspicions, which made Chu Ci frown, "The rumors about pigs in the garden are probably true."
"This also shows that the body is probably in the garden." Yu Sheng said.
There was another thing that had to be paid attention to. Yu Sheng mentioned the conversation he heard with his own ears between Cu Zhu and Shopkeeper Liu when he was at the door.
Chu Ci's face became serious. It was already complicated enough now. If curses and ghosts were mixed in, some trouble might be caused.
"So the most important thing now is to find out the origin of the ghost and where she stole the body."
Yu Sheng looked around at everyone, "I decided to spend the night behind Xunweizhai tonight."
When Zhou Dafu and Chu Sheng heard this, they shrank back, and Chu Ci also lowered his head. Zhou Jiuzhang was about to talk, but was pulled away by Zhou Dafu.
Kidnapping the city lord's nephew to a brothel, isn't this asking for death?
But Ye Zigao was very enthusiastic, "Shopkeeper, I'll accompany you, let's turn Xunwei Zhai upside down."
This opportunity should not be missed. Ye Zigao had been looking forward to it for a long time.
The book "The Nine-Tailed Turtle" also came in handy. As expected, when I gave it to the little old man, he recited it all night in advance and learned it by heart.
"You? Come on, don't leave Ying Lianhua and forget about the business." Yu Sheng stood up, pointed at Zhou Dafu and said, "You come with me."
Zhou Dafu said with a sad face, "Xiao Yu'er, we don't have any grudges or grudges, so there's no need to retaliate against me like this."
He pushed Chu Sheng, "He's good at this."
Chu Sheng waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no, I can't speak to girls when I see them, so I never go to a brothel alone."
Here Ye Zi Gao took Yu Sheng's arm and said, "Shopkeeper, you have to take me with you. I'm going to perform in my true colors. If you take Gao Xing with you, you'll be suspicious."
"Okay." Yu Sheng slapped the table to calm everyone, "Both of you are coming, Ye Zigao is coming too, and the rest are preparing for tomorrow."
Yu Sheng stood up after saying this, "I will go back and ask my aunt for instructions now, otherwise my legs will be broken when I come out of the brothel."
Zhou Dafu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he wanted to ask the city lord for instructions. The city lord agreed, and it was okay for him to accompany Yu Sheng to the brothel.
…
After night falls, the lights in front of Xunwei Zhai are bright, cars and horses are like dragons, people are flowing like a weave, and greetings and laughter are endless.
Lanterns are hung layer by layer on the Star Building, which is particularly beautiful in the night sky.
The four of them agreed, and when they arrived at the door, Zhou Dafu saw a handsome young man standing next to Yu Sheng.
The confused two people were about to inquire when they saw Yu Sheng introduce: "This is my uncle."
Uncle? The two people who were puzzled at first suddenly realized it and couldn't help but become cautious.
It was the city lord who disguised himself as a noble prince.
Hearing that Yu Sheng was going to a brothel, Aunt Qing had already raised his eyebrows before Yu Sheng could explain.
After Yu Sheng explained his intention while screaming in pain, Aunt Qing put him down.
Yu Sheng thought that his aunt agreed, but unexpectedly Aunt Qing said righteously: "The land of fireworks is the most disturbing place, so I will go with you."
"Isn't it inappropriate for a prostitute like you to go to a brothel?" Yu Sheng said, rubbing his ears.
"If there's anything wrong, I'll take care of it." Aunt Qing said unquestionably. So on top of the disguise, the city lord disguised himself as a noble prince.
