After the song ended, Xiaofang put away her piano, bowed slightly towards Xu Ce, and then said:
"Young Master, the song has been played. Now how about the young lady pouring wine for the young masters and having a drink?"
Xu Ce nodded and said:
"So good."
Soon, the wine was filled, and after taking a small sip, Xu Ce asked:
"Just now, I heard a sad and desolate tone in Miss Xiaofang's music. I wonder what Miss Xiaofang is doing?
You might as well talk and listen."
There is actually a reason why Xu Ce asked this question. Xiaoling was the previous oiran, and Xiaofang was the woman who succeeded Xiaoling as oiran. It is absolutely impossible to say that the two do not know each other and have nothing to do with each other.
.
And now Xu Ce hasn't even found Xiaoling's ghost anywhere, so how can he complete the mission?
So, ask, what if there is an unexpected surprise?
"Senior brother, is there sadness and desolation in the sound of the piano? Why didn't I hear it?"
Ahao scratched his head, very puzzled.
A Fang continued:
"Yeah, I didn't hear it either. It's obviously a natural scene of mountains and flowing water, birds singing and flowers fragrant."
Xu Ce smiled lightly and said:
"The beauty of the sound of the piano lies in the fact that it can attach people's emotions to the sound of the piano when playing. Many times, the person playing the piano may not even notice it, but he does not know that the emotions in his heart have been washed away by the sound of the piano.
For those who are happy, even if they are playing sad music, they can still capture the slightest hint of joy in the music.
A person with a sad heart, even if the music he plays is joyful, the music is still filled with sorrow.”
Ah Fang and Ah Hao shook their heads, indicating that they didn't understand. They had to be good at catching ghosts or something, but talking about romantic matters would be a big deal.
Xu Ce will not explain too much anymore, as much as he can understand is enough, otherwise no matter how much he talks, it is just playing the piano to a cow.
At this time, Xiaofang said slightly surprised:
"The young master is very knowledgeable and the little girl admires him. Please invite him."
While talking, Xiaofang handed the wine glass on the table to Xu Ce, picked up the glass herself, and made a toast.
Xu Ce smiled faintly, drank it all in one gulp, and then said:
"Miss Xiaofang, I want to ask you about someone. Her name is Xiaoling. You should know her. Tell me about Xiaoling."
The flower-like smile of the courtesan Xiaofang, who was still smiling at first, suddenly froze, but she quickly showed her smile again and said:
"Young lady, I don't know the girl Xiao Ling that the young master is talking about. Did the young master remember it wrong? We don't have anyone named Xiao Ling here."
Xu Ce raised his brows, haha, this girl Xiaofang is still too naive. With her modest skills, how could she hide it from Xu Ce's eyes? The brief period of sluggishness before was enough to explain everything.
Xu Ce smiled faintly, took out a fifty-tael silver note from his arms, slapped it on the table, and said:
"Miss Xiaofang, I won't talk nonsense to you. Tell me the truth. This banknote is yours."
"I really don't know, sir. I suddenly feel uncomfortable, so I have to leave first. I hope you understand."
Xiaofang's eyes were a little distracted, and she hurriedly stood up and wanted to leave.
Xu Ce looked at this scene and smiled coldly in his heart. Sure enough, there is a ghost. He wants to leave without explaining why he came, so let's forget it!
"Did I let you go?"
Xu Ce's voice shouted out coldly, and at the same time, the aura of the middle stage of foundation building leaked out a little.
The oiran Xiaofang was just an ordinary person. Even if Xu Ce revealed only a slight amount of pressure, Xiaofang's face turned miserable and her body seemed to be frozen in the air. She tried all her strength but could not move at all.
Xiaofang's face turned pale and she was terrified. Why couldn't she move?
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Xu Ce staring at her coldly, and then she realized that the young master in front of her was not simple, he knew magic, and he came to see Xiaoling.
"Now, can you say it?"
Xu Ce said coldly again.
As for Ah Fang and Ah Hao, they were confused. Why did the peaceful atmosphere suddenly turn into what it is now?
But looking at Xu Ce's cold face, although the two of them didn't know what happened, they didn't say anything and just watched from the sidelines.
Moreover, after Xu Ce arrived here, he mentioned the girl named Xiaoling many times. Who is Xiaoling?
Confuse……
Xiaofang, the courtesan, was frightened. She didn't know what she encountered, whether it was a ghost. After all, it seemed that no one except ghosts could do this to make her body unable to move.
"Who are you? Don't kill me. Xiaoling's death has nothing to do with me. It really has nothing to do with me. I don't know anything."
In a panic, the oiran Xiaofang shook her head and said, obviously frightened.
At this time, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Xu Ce's lips, that's right, if you had said it earlier, it would save everyone trouble.
"Very good. It seems that you don't know nothing, but you know a lot. Please tell me."
Xu Ce said calmly, and at the same time, the pressure of the aura suddenly disappeared, and the oiran Xiaofang's figure stagnated, and then fell to the ground.
Ah Fang and Ah Hao, who were previously fascinated by the beauty of the courtesan Xiaofang, also stopped breathing and looked at each other in disbelief. This pretty girl actually killed someone?
In other words, she didn't kill the person, but she definitely had something to do with it.
In this way, the girl named Xiaoling that Xu Ce asked about actually exists!
Moreover, he is already dead and was killed!
However, how did Xu Ce know this? There was no mention of it before. It was their intention to come to this brothel to have a look.
Invisibly, Xu Ce became more and more mysterious in the hearts of Ah Fang and Ah Hao.
"I, the oiran before me was indeed Sister Xiaoling. At that time, I was still the maid holding the piano next to Sister Xiaoling, and Sister Xiaoling was also very kind to me.
Sister Xiaoling does not sell her body, she is very talented, especially her playing of the piano is astonishing. Many young men from the surrounding towns came here from other towns just to hear Sister Xiaoling play the piano. I am also doing it
I learned a little while holding the piano maid.
After Sister Xiaoling died, they asked me to take over Sister Xiaoling's position, and threatened me not to tell anything about Sister Xiaoling, so I..."
The oiran Xiaofang said tremblingly.
Xu Ce waved his hand impatiently and said:
"Tell me the key points, how did Xiaoling die, when did it happen, and where is Xiaoling's body?"
