It was busy until two o'clock in the morning, and the house of Huang Liu's family returned to silence. The kitchen prepared some cakes for the bad guys who came to investigate the case, and Wu Hou sent them away.

As for Li Cake and Yuan Zai, they took the corpse back to Yiningfang where Dali Temple is located early. After all, although the night ban is strict, it is not impossible to change.

Go to the street and ask four Jinwu guards to follow you, and hold a lantern with the words "Dali Temple" written on it in your hand. As long as you don't go to the imperial city, no one will stop you, and you will have a smooth journey.

The atmosphere in the silent courtyard was very strange.

Chao Heng looked around and suggested: "Go back and continue drinking?"

Frankly speaking, after witnessing a murder with their own eyes, everyone was not afraid, but they really had no intention of continuing to drink and have fun. What's more, it was not easy for those young ladies to smile now.

However, Li Bai and Supervisor He did not refuse. It was still winter, and the dawn drum would not sound until three o'clock in the fifth watch. During this period, there was no human voice in the 108 streets of Chang'an, and there was nowhere to go.

It's better to stay and drink.

"Let's go, it's only two o'clock in the morning, the night ban has not passed yet, and there is no place to relax away from here."

Lu Li felt relieved. No matter who the murderer was, just don't let him worry about it.

"What are you doing Qian Rui standing there in a daze? Why don't you go and accompany the gentlemen?" Liu Niang gently pushed the beauty next to her. She was very panicked now. Not to mention that her family leader was killed, she didn't know whether she could open the door to welcome guests tomorrow night.

It's become a problem.

In addition, Lu Li, whose identity was exposed, became the one Huang Liuniang had to please, because whether he could operate normally was a matter of a word from him, the chief official of Dali Temple.

Of course, Huang Liuniang would not mention it right away. She had to show her sincerity first and then make innuendoes.

A twisted melon is not sweet.

Seeing that the maids' faces were pale, Lu Li waved his hand and said comfortingly: "It's okay. If any of you girls feel unwell, just go and have a rest. We can just chat and drink among ourselves..."

However, before she finished speaking, Qian Rui refused, and she said softly: "You are the slave's benefactors, how can you leave your guests behind and go to rest alone?"

After speaking, she took the initiative to lead the way.

Not long after, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded.

Pingkangfang has returned to liveliness. To be more precise, it should be as lively as ever.

After all, there are thousands of brothels in Pingkangfang, and the news of the death of the oiran Mingyue has not yet spread, the Qinlou Chu Pavilion is still brightly lit with red candles, singing and dancing. In order not to lose customers, Huang Liuniang sent all the girls to accompany the guests. Not only did she not accept

Prostitution, including lighting fees and drinks, are all waived.

Especially Room A No. 6.

Yingzhou is rich in water, Wucheng Ruoxia, Hedong dried grapes, and Yicheng Jiujiang. Fine wines are delivered here as if they are free. Not only that, there is no shortage of fine wines in Jingshi. What about Xishi accent, Xinfeng fine wine, shrimp

Lu Li didn't know whether others were happy about the official status of Tonglingzhilang, but Li Bai was indeed happy and wrote three poems in a row.

But as expected, it was all related to ghosts and gods, which frightened several prostitutes into playing the wrong notes many times.

"My eyes are so stupid that I didn't guess the identity of the husband. I will punish myself with a glass of wine." Qian Rui's voice was gentle, her eyes seemed resentful, and she seemed to be joking. She took the Sanle juice in her hand and drank it in one gulp.

Lu Li's cup also contained Sanle pulp made from fruits, which was sweet and sour and refreshing. With some ice cubes stored in the cellar, it was no worse than happy water.

At this moment, the pair of clear eyes beside him kept staring at him. Lu Li couldn't ignore it and explained with a smile: "I'm lucky enough to be favored by the saint, so I shouldn't be too showy."

After hearing the word saint, Qian Rui's eyes became more intense. It was the dream of all the ladies in Pingkangfang to attend the blissful banquet held the day after tomorrow in the Qinzhengwu main building.

If she could be taken away by the handsome husband in front of her and show off her grace in front of the Tang Dynasty dignitaries, she would definitely become a well-known person in one fell swoop. Huang Liuniang also had the same idea.

In fact, Lu Li also knew that he had become a Tang monk in the eyes of the young lady, but he didn't feel disgusted in his heart. If he had the choice, who would be willing to fall into the world and fight for fame and fortune all day long.

In addition, bringing a female companion to the banquet can avoid making a fool of yourself——

Take tonight as an example, he felt a little embarrassed during the show of talent. As long as he brought something technical, his eyes would be black and he wouldn't be able to play at all.

By analogy, the Shangyuan night banquet held by the emperor will definitely be more troublesome and have more rules: commenting on songs and dances, making toasts, writing poems to cater to the saints...

In this situation, Lu Li didn't dare to go to the banquet without someone to help him.

Therefore, sometimes having too high an official position may not necessarily be a good thing, as it may be too restrictive to play.

Presumably the classmate with the yellow on his left and the green on his right is hunting in the countryside and having a great time, right?

Miss Qian Rui would never have thought that Lu Li would be distracted and thinking about other things when the beauty was by his side, and the lingering affection in her eyes was not noticed at all.

However, after Lu Li came to his senses, he gave Qian Rui a surprise. He glanced at the slightly white sky and said straight to the point: "The sound of the morning drum is the Lantern Festival, and everyone wants to find a decent female companion.

.”

"I wonder if my wife has a date?"

Hearing this, Qian Rui was stunned. She almost knocked over the porcelain pot containing Sanle pulp without noticing. Fortunately, Lu Li had quick eyesight and quick hands to catch her, otherwise she would have had to go back home to change clothes.

After all, she had seen the world, and Miss Qianrui quickly came to her senses. She couldn't care less about being reserved and said hurriedly: "No."

"In this case, Madam, I would like to..."

"Master, just don't regret it."

"..."

At this point, Miss Qian Rui put down her reserve, moved closer to Lu Li, and complained softly: "Mr. Sir, it's going to be dawn soon, are you going to sit here all night and waste your good time?"

This... is so passionate that I can't bear it.

Actually, I just want to find a tool man.

Perhaps sensing Lu Li's hesitation, Qian Rui said in his ear with a timid voice: "I am a pure maid. No one has stayed in my boudoir before tonight."

Because they were so close, the scent of powder penetrated into his nose. The honest man Lu Li immediately calmed down and sat upright.

Are you kidding me?

In the world of the Three Kingdoms, he didn't talk about Yin and Yang with Ding Qinyu, the wife of the Ming Dynasty. How could he indulge here?

Seeing Lu Li's body tensing up, Miss Qian Rui was surprised, and said with a silly smile: "Could it be that Mr. Lang is a virgin?"

The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was possible. Her smile was as bright as a flower and she wished she could take him away right now.

Hmm... be a little concerned about your dead good sister Mingyue Lady. She just received a box lunch, so this is inappropriate.

Lu Li pondered for a moment and said, "I haven't been feeling well lately. Let's talk about it later."

"Not feeling well?" Miss Qianrui blinked.

"Well, I have a lot of work. I often sit down at my desk to review and approve documents, and my back hurts."

Lu Li had a serious look on his face: "The position of Dali Qing is to be in charge of the country's prisons and punishments. It is based on three considerations. The first is to be clear and prudent, to punish doubts, the second is to mourn, to avoid unjust imprisonment, and the third is to be fair.
