After hearing Chao Heng's cry, everyone gathered around. Miss Qianrui looked shocked and murmured: "That place..."

"This is the place where the courtesan Qingqiu lives in immortality."

Everyone's eyesight was poor and they could only see a slender figure standing on the attic. Only Lu Li could see the situation clearly——

It was a woman with bright facial features, no makeup, wearing a white silk dress, and half of her feet had already stepped out.

Floating fragrance?

Follow in his footsteps?

Subconsciously, Lu Li thought of this name.

When he was distracted, Li Bai was the first to react and hurriedly said: "Go and save people!"

As soon as the words fell, the shadow fell, without any hesitation or giving others time to react.

At midnight, midnight.

Huang Liu's mother's house, which was originally filled with laughter, became extremely quiet. Many patrons lay by the windows and peered into the courtyard downstairs.

Among them, there were those who looked fearful, some who looked unhappy, and some who looked excited...

"Who is the deceased?"

"Have you ever found out more about it?"

The guest in Room A No. 2 was questioning the servants. If he had not considered his high status and had gone there rashly and would have been gossiped about, he would have gone to find out for himself.

"Replying to Alang, I didn't." The boy servant looked embarrassed and hesitated: "The rangers in Huang Liu's family are so fierce that they don't want anyone to get close to them."

It is difficult to open a brothel. Firstly, the money comes in quickly and it is easy to attract jealousy. Secondly, if the customers drink too much, they will easily cause trouble. Therefore, this business may seem elegant, but it is closely connected with the evil forces in Chang'an.

Home Guard.

Calling him a ranger is a bit too flattering. In fact, he is a thug who specializes in maintaining order in brothels.

"Nonsense!" The guest in Room 2 was full of anger, pointing to the courtyard in the distance and cursing: "Why can those six people go there?"

"Alang, they are officials."

"Isn't it just me?"

"The leader is Mr. He, the Secretary and Supervisor of this dynasty, and there is also a judge from Dali Temple."

This Yuanwailang was speechless for a moment. He was a fifth-rank official and belonged to the relatively noble Ministry of Rites. It was better not to wade into this muddy water.

at the same time.

Lu Li frowned and looked at the corpse in front of him. Although he had already guessed the identity of the deceased in advance, Li Bai and others always thought it was a certain maidservant. They couldn't think of it and chose to jump down from the attic until they saw it with their own eyes...

At this moment, Huang Liuniang had rushed over, holding a maid in her arms and crying.

Although she is best at playing both sides and hiding her emotions, this time she definitely showed her true feelings.

After all, the cash cow is gone.

Furthermore, oirans need to be trained from an early age to play music, chess, calligraphy, painting, music, and poetry. Just hiring a master will cost dozens of taels of gold, not counting food and clothing, and Mingyue Lady was rated as a master. How long has it been since Huang Liuniang didn't even get back her money? She has lost all her blood!

"Daughter, why can't you think about it and commit suicide..."

"My mother has never beaten or scolded you. She is willing to buy you a tin head, a cloud grate, and even a Persian snail."

The sound of wailing lingered in my ears.

Lu Li took a deep look at Huang Liuniang and asked, "Have you ever reported it to Marquis Wu for patrolling the streets?"

"..."

No one answered.

According to the process, if a murder case occurs in the community, it must be reported to Wuhoupu, who will report it to Wannian County with the bad guys. If the county magistrate cannot make a decision, it will be handed over to Jingzhao Mansion, and finally to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.

"Lu Qing, it's time for you to show off your skills."

"Leave this case to Marquis Wu and the bad guys, and nothing will be found."

Li Bai and Wang Wei were advising on the side.

As soon as the murder case came out, the two of them were completely drunk. Looking at this posture, it seemed that they were still thinking about getting addicted to detectives.

"First call the patrolman Wu Hou and inform Wu Zuo to come for the autopsy." Lu Li insisted and asked Wu Hou to come to the scene.

First of all, he has a specialization in the art, and he is not good at examining corpses. Secondly, he is now a mere commander, and he has to do everything himself, which is too tiring. Finally, he just takes over the scene temporarily and waits for the cat, no, for the young master of the temple.

When you arrive at the scene, you will immediately hand over the case.

the other side.

The heavy gate of the square was pushed open by Marquis Wu, and two riders urged their horses inside.

"The token given by An Jiedushi is so useful that it can even open the gates." Yuan Zai lowered his voice and complimented.

Bao Canjun shook his head: "That person is not so easy to talk to. Even if you are obedient now, if we don't find out the truth, not only will we not get any benefits, but we will also be held accountable afterwards."

"Don't worry, no matter whether the murderer is a human or a ghost, I can get to the bottom of this case."

"In this case, it will be worth your while to review the case. After the matter is completed, the general will definitely thank you greatly."

Seeing Yuan Zai's firm tone, Bao Canjun felt relieved and began to draw the pie.

At the same time, the handymen in Wuhou's shop on the corner have received the news and are gathering their team not far away.

Yuan Zai didn't take the empty promises seriously. He pointed over there and asked, "What happened?"

Although he couldn't figure out the origin of these two horses, Wu Hou who opened the door still answered truthfully: "There has been another murder. The deceased is the oiran Mingyue of Huang Liu's family."

"Let's go and have a look." Yuan Zai suddenly became energetic.

As the saying goes, arriving early is worse than arriving by chance. The two of them did not hesitate to break the night ban and come to Pingkangfang this time just to look for clues. Now that another oiran has died, if they really want to sleep, someone will give them pillows.

Every famous Pingkang lady has her own room, and it is absolutely impossible to share a room with others, especially since everyone knows that she has an entire attic and is served by twenty slaves who are proficient in various musical instruments.

Even if it is Miss Qian Rui, every time she sees a lady, she will know that she must obey and obey discipline.

At this moment, Lu Li, who was in a state of mind, couldn't figure out why Mingyue committed suicide.

For this money-spinner, Huang Liuniang wished she could be pampered by heaven, and was determined not to punish her harshly.

In addition, at the level of everyone, ordinary eunuchs and officials would not dare to offend. The princes and nobles had better have a good face and would not embarrass a young lady.

That is, no motive for suicide can be found.

"Miss Qianrui." Lu Li called softly.

After being stimulated by the scene in front of her, Qian Rui, who was originally cheerful, became dull and replied in a deep voice: "What's the matter, Mr. Lang?"

"When was the last time you saw Miss Mingyue?"

"The day before yesterday, in the lobby."

Not long ago, Qian Rui learned about Lu Li's identity from his fake mother Huang Liu Niang - the Eighth Rank Judge of Dali Temple. She thought he was investigating the case and couldn't help but add: "That night, Xiang Li brought guests here for a banquet. Everyone knows

My wife will perform on stage with us."

The lobby, the most elegant place in a brothel, can accommodate hundreds of guests.

As for Prime Minister Lin.

Apart from Li Linfu, who was sweet-talking and secretive, Lu Li could not think of anyone else who could be honored as Prime Minister Li.

"Did any conflicts occur at the banquet?"

"For example, someone forcefully invites you to drink with me."
