Tianhe's "Butterfield Street" has become a veritable city that never sleeps. People from every neighborhood and government office are sent to investigate. Soldiers from all walks of life and even the imperial army are coming in an endless stream. From the eunuchs next to the emperor to the bookkeepers under the county magistrate, the street is sealed off.
People are not allowed to enter or leave the alley.
"Huhuhu..."
Zhao Guanren was sitting in the lobby of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, feasting with Xia Buer around a pot of white soup mutton. They each held a book in their hands. Zhao Guanren was carefully reading the new edition of "Datang Code", while Xia Buer was holding "Tang Dynasty Code" in his hands.
"History" one eye and ten lines.
"Brothers, you can eat freely. The madam is treating you tonight, but you are not allowed to drink wine..."
Zhao Guanren put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, then lit a pot of dry smoke with an oil lamp. Twenty-two delinquents were eating and drinking on both sides. Six people were injured and two died. The delinquent handsome generously distributed pensions and decoctions.
This made this group of unscrupulous people have a favorable impression of him.
"Bang~"
The door of the brothel was suddenly kicked open, and a group of tall and thick men walked in, holding either knives or maces in their hands. There were also a few obvious foreigners, with their hair shaved green on both sides, but
In the Tang Dynasty, this was nothing.
"Madam! Your business is very good, and there are distinguished guests coming to your door in the middle of the night..."
Zhao Guanren smoked a dry cigarette and looked at the old bustard. The Xiaoxiang Pavilion was much larger than the Yuchun Tower, and it was considered one of the top three on the banks of the Tianhe River. But the other party was obviously the person called by the old bustard. The old bustard leaned against the door of the back hall.
, looking scared and angry.
"Bad! You have crossed the line. This is Luoyang County, not your Luoning County..."
A one-eyed man walked to the table and placed a rough horse-killing sword on the ground. More than twenty bad guys picked up the knives and forks one after another and looked at Zhao Guanren in the center, while Zhao Guanren spat.
Yan looked at the bad handsome man from Luoyang peeping outside the door.
"What? You are also an official..."
Zhao Guanren said in a loud voice: "I am here to investigate the case under the orders of the Imperial Master. Not to mention the little Luoyang County, I would dare to go to your bedside. If you are an official, just take out the fish bag and documents. If you are just a commoner,
, get out of here immediately!"
"Stupid Qing! You really don't know how to live or die..."
The one-eyed dragon bent down and sneered: "Do you know whose business this is? How dare you come to fight the autumn wind? I'm not afraid of scaring you to death if I say it. This is the handicap of Uncle Zhang of the Right Prime Minister's family. Uncle Zhang and Prince Bi are young.
If you know what’s going on, get out of here!”
"What did you say? Erzi! Did you hear..."
Zhao Guanren suddenly stood up from the stool. One-eyed dragon proudly wanted to repeat it again, but Xia Buer quickly took out a pen and paper and said loudly: "One-eyed dragon said I'm not afraid of scaring you to death. This is Uncle Zhang's handicap, snake monster."
You have to kowtow before you go ashore!"
"You fart! I..."
The one-eyed dragon screamed in fright and anger. Unexpectedly, there was a "puff" sound. The head of the one-eyed dragon fell to the ground and rolled around. The headless corpse also fell to the ground and spurted blood. The people in the room were suddenly shocked.
Everyone looked at Zhao Guanren in horror.
"How dare you collude with monsters, brothers! Let me chop them to death..."
Zhao Guanren wiped the blood from his face and chopped down another fat man with a knife. Even though these people were able to fly over walls and fly over walls, and ordinary crossbows and arrows could not get close to them, they could not stop Zhao Guanren because of his quick swordsmanship and bad hands. Moreover, bad guys also swarmed up to him.
.
"Don't fight, don't fight again, please be merciful..."
The old madam was so frightened that she cried out again and again. The girls upstairs quickly opened the door and closed the window, but in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people were lying down.
, pick up a pot of boiling soup and pour it on people's faces.
"Come quickly, catch the snake demon's accomplices..."
Zhao Guanren suddenly jumped out of the building, stabbed the bad commander of Luoyang in the thigh with a knife, and chopped his two cronies to the ground. At that time, a large number of officials were in a hurry to deliver business. When they heard that there were comrades, they rushed over. Qianniu Guards
They even flew towards me from the other side of the river.
"Keep alive! Don't kill everyone..."
The Qianniu Guards rushed in with a roar. After they pushed all the bad guys away, most of them had been hacked to death. Only a few minions were left lying on the ground wailing, but they lifted them up and went to
He looked like he was running outside for fear of being robbed of his achievements.
"Quickly! Carry this man away, don't let them snatch him away. The bad handsome man in Luoyang is a traitor..."
Zhao Guanren deliberately stepped on the bad commander and screamed, but he was knocked to the ground. More than a dozen soldiers blocked him. The four men lifted the bad commander and ran away. The soldiers quickly separated and deliberately rushed to block him.
Others.
"Is there any justice? This is the person we caught..."
Zhao Guanren sat on the ground and yelled like a fool, and his boss also ran over with his robe in hand. When Luozhou Shaoyin saw that there were only dead people left in the room, he pointed at him and said in annoyance: "Confused! Can you shout about this kind of thing?
, the duck you got made it fly!"
"Where are the people? Where are the traitors..."
Tianyangzi fell from the sky in a state of panic, Shao Yin put his hands on his back and ignored him, while Zhao Guanren got up and said angrily: "It's so unbelievable, Qian Niuwei caught the criminal and ran away, Dali Temple also snatched it from me
You just left a bunch of dead bodies for me!"
"How did you determine that the other party was a traitor, and how did you reveal the truth..."
Tianyangzi stepped forward to ask again urgently, and Lord Shaoyin immediately raised his hand and said: "Master! This is an errand for our Luozhou Prefecture. Don't ask any more questions. The people have already been snatched away by the Seven Gates. You
Just go back and ask if it's okay. If not, you can still go to Dali Temple!"
"Alas~"
Tianyangzi walked away depressedly, and Zhao Guanren immediately whispered to Shaoyin: "Sir! What they took away was just the fur. Someone saw the snake demon with his own eyes three days ago. After eating, everyone got on the boat of Xiaoxiang Pavilion. The real big one
The thief is in this building!"
"really?"
Luozhou Shaoyin was so surprised that he wanted to come in, but Zhao Guanren grabbed him and waved his hand: "Sir! You are proud and rich. If a big monster comes again, you will not be able to bear the low position!"
"Oh! Yes, yes, there are monsters..."
Shao Yin hurriedly took a few steps back and said: "I leave this matter to you with full authority. You will deploy all the people in this government. The Luoyang County Magistrate will also assist you. You are allowed to kill first and report later. I will do this for you."
You go and ask the Dharma Master from Bodhidharma Academy to come, and you wait, don’t be rash!"
"Thank you for your care, sir. I will dedicate myself to my humble position until I die..."
Zhao Guanren smiled and saluted, and walked straight into the lobby of Xiaoxiang Pavilion. The bad guys were wiping the blood on their knives excitedly. Wei Dabeard also brought the old madam over, pressed him on the table and shouted loudly: "Sir! People!
This prostitute is the one who summoned her, so she should be taken back and tortured, right?"
"It's not me! It's really not me..."
The old madam was slumped on the table and trembling wildly. Zhao Guanren stepped forward and patted her old face, and said with a ferocious smile: "How many pots of mutton have you eaten? How dare you call someone over? Learn more from Yuchun Tower opposite you."
Get me escorted here, and the case will be tried here tonight!"
"Oh! Marshal Yin, you have outstanding military exploits, so congratulatory..."
A county magistrate came in with a government servant. It was the Luoyang magistrate who came to cooperate with him. There must be a record of so many people dying, but the other party looked like a man. Zhao Guanren chatted with him enthusiastically.
If these gangsters die, then it's finalized.
"Master Cao! You are busy first, I have to go to a few more places to confirm the evidence..."
Zhao Guanren took Xia Buer out. Bodhidharma Academy sent eight Demon-Conquering Vajras to sit cross-legged and meditate back to back along the river bank. After all, the monks were not allowed to enter the Fengyue place, but Zhao Guanren ordered someone to make two pots of tea and went with the leader
After chatting for a few words, we left.
"Master! Lord Yin..."
suddenly!
Several women appeared on the arch bridge in front. They were Madam and Huamei from Yuchun Tower. The two women and their servants carrying lanterns smiled and presented a food box. The Madam smiled and said: "The mutton in Xiaoxiang Tower is not good.
Eat, our Yuchunlou’s dim sum is the best!”
"If you fart, hurry up! Sir, I'm busy..."
Zhao Guanren pushed away the food box impatiently, and the old madam pouted and whispered: "No matter how busy you are, you have to rest. Huamei has made the bed for you. I just want to ask about the three top girls in Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Can you sign the lease and come to our building?"
"You are a mouse working as a concubine for a cat - you want money but not your life..."
Zhao Guanren said angrily: "Madam! You'd better not use the salt jar to pull out your butt. You'd better die in idleness (sucking salty shit). The people on the first floor are in bad luck. I don't even have time to sleep in Huamei. I
I have to go sleep with the oiran and work in the Canghua Tower! Hehe~"
"Master! Who is talking nonsense to you..."
Huamei grabbed him and shook him and said: "The oiran from Zanghualou was sent to Yichun Courtyard. Now he is the wife of the Holy Emperor. There has been no oiran in this house for a long time. Besides, my piano skills were slightly inferior to hers at the beginning.
, in terms of beauty, they are much better than her!"
"Really? Then I'll go over there after finishing my errands. I have to let everyone on this street know my rules..."
Zhao Guanren walked forward in a swagger. Although hundreds of brothels were closed, no one dared to sleep in such a noisy environment. The two of them picked the one with the most shameless attitude and kicked the door. When they entered, they threatened and lured them, telling them the rules.
Let them provide clues.
"Xifeng Pavilion? Ancient road to Xifeng...Shou Ma..."
The eyes of the two people suddenly lit up. Zhao Guanren had seen countless thin horses, but he had never seen the real Yangzhou thin horse. The two of them kicked in the door happily and called out of the nursing home to join the old madam.
Immediately frightened, the top card was called out immediately.
"Two officials, Nujia Biqi..."
A petite and slender girl came downstairs, wearing a white gauze hat and a purple gauze skirt. Pingpingtingting pinched her waist and bent her knees. But just as she took off the hat, two men shouted in unison.
Said: "Anzhu la Beibei!"
"What? What a pig..."
The old madam looked at the two of them in confusion and said quickly: "Miss Biqi is a poor woman who only sells her art but not her life. If the two officials want to rest here, they can let Miss Biqi play the piano and accompany them with wine. If the slave family wants to
How about asking some of the waiters to accompany you?"
"What are you talking about? Clearing the bankers. Once the money is in place, they are the popular bankers. Clearing the bankers are just gimmicks..."
Zhao Guanren looked at Bi Qi disdainfully. This girl was very similar to "Anzhu La Beibei", but he didn't expect that Xia Buer was actually excited and asked hurriedly: "Old Madam! Can I redeem her life? How much?"
Can you give me a price for the money?"
"ah?"
The old madam and Bi Qi were stunned together, but Bi Qi quickly knelt down and said: "Thank you for your favor. If you buy me and go back to work as a prostitute, I won't sell you for a thousand gold. If you accept me as your concubine, you can... with my mother."
Discuss!”
"I will take you as my concubine. If you are in good terms with me, I will marry you as my wife..."
Xia Buyer nodded without hesitation. Zhao Guanren quickly pulled him aside and whispered: "You took the wrong medicine. She is a Lehu. It is very troublesome to register. And according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, in order to
The slave who becomes a concubine will live in prison for one year, and the one who takes a concubine as his wife will live in prison for two years!"
"She is so much like a girlfriend of mine, I miss her..."
Xia Fujian smiled and said: "Didn't you say that if you want to complete the task, you have to integrate into this world, so that you can have unexpected gains? We have been rushing for so long, and I want to stop and take a rest. Please help me.
Well, I know you have a way!"
"You asked me to pay this price, how can I pay it back..."
Zhao Guanren shook his head dumbfounded, but the old madam was the first to say: "Biqi can't redeem her body. A few days ago, she made an agreement with Prince Bi to buy it back and work as a domestic prostitute. She gave the two thousand taels of redemption money and just waited.
It was an auspicious day to carry her to the palace!"
"It's Prince Bi again, this Prince Bi is very romantic..."
Zhao Guanren subconsciously looked at Xia Buer. The Xiaoxiang Pavilion he just copied belonged to King Bi's territory. The Dali Temple that robbed people could also be considered his power. The key was the Xinglong Temple where the wolf demon was born, which could almost be regarded as King Bi's family temple.
, and his maternal relatives are enshrined inside.
"Look at what I'm doing. If you can't handle this, let me be your eldest brother in the future. I'll snatch the oiran out to be your concubine..."
Xia Buer smiled evilly and leaned against the pillar, took out a dry cigarette and lit it. The depressed Zhao Guanren cursed him for being shameless and had no choice but to offend this forced king to the end...
