When the carriage passed through the city and drove near the Imperial Boxing Hall, it started to rain in the sky. The apprentices who were practicing outside the boxing hall were just in a posture and went into the hall to rest. The nearby streets were full of pedestrians who had become rushing because of the heavy rain. The shops set up tarpaulins, and the scholars avoided the eaves. The women living nearby chased the children running in the rain. The willow trees on the riverside on the roadside, with new buds, became greener in the rain.

The Alum Tower is not far from the Imperial Boxing Hall. Because it was early in the morning and the time of arrival was not long before Chen Shi passed. According to the algorithms of later generations, it was only about nine o'clock in the morning. During this period, there was no business time in the brothel, and Ning Yi chose this time to come over to avoid disturbing the other party's business.

The meeting with Li Shishi actually has no special significance. Friends who are not very close to each other, meeting before the performance is just a routine trip. When they arrived at the Alum Tower, because they spent the night in the building, a group of guests who had just gotten away in the morning were still leaving one after another. However, at this time, there were not many people, and they were sent out sparsely by women dressed in clothes. Some were waiting in the hall because it was raining, waiting for the servants in the building to come out. After Ning Yi asked someone to communicate, he found an unexpected acquaintance at the entrance of the Alum Tower Hall.

It was a tall and handsome man. After coming out, he sat near the door to watch the rain. Perhaps because he had just woken up and his temperament was a little lazy, the woman who accompanied him was very quiet. Ning Yi had seen him once before and was also one of the talented women in the building. After seeing each other, Ning Yi went over and bowed and greeted him.

"Brother Xiao Yi."

"Young Master Ning."

Seeing that it was Ning Yi, Yan Qing, who was sitting there, quickly stood up and bowed. In fact, Yan Qing was helping Ning Yi train Su Wending and others in the past few days, and Zhu Biao came here before he took off his task. He had been interacting with each other every day and had practiced martial arts, and the relationship between the two parties was quite close. However, Ning Yi was not clear about Yan Qing's private life.

Although Yan Qing has always had the nickname "prodigal son", in Ning Yi's heart, he and Lu Junyi are obviously a pair. Although it is not very strange that he will hang out in brothels, it is the first time he has encountered it.

After the two talked for a few words, the woman named Han Huiniang beside Yan Qing asked someone to bring her refreshments. After a while, Shishi came to the lobby. Ning Yi remembered that the two had met before and wanted to say a few words about the incident on the canal. Yan Qing smiled and bowed down: "Things of last year, Xiao Yi has already apologized to Shishi everyone."

Shishi also smiled and said, "Young Master Yan is so serious."

Ning Yi then said "Oh", it seemed that the two had had contact with each other several times before. Although he was not gossiping, he couldn't help but look at both sides. According to legend, the Shishi girl should be interested in Yan Qing. Could it be that the two sides had already met for a while?

To be fair, it is not surprising that such a thing is. Yan Qing looks handsome, has an extraordinary temperament, is skilled in martial arts and has extraordinary conversation. Although she is a little confused with Lu Junyi, it is a elegant thing these days.

Later generations also said, "If you want to pretend to be GA first, it means that in the mind of a woman, this matter can add points.

At this time, look at the two people in the hall. One is handsome and lazy, the other is bright and beautiful, which really gives people the feeling of being born a pair. As for Han Huiniang beside Yan Qing, even though she has a look and temperament, she is just a foil at this time. Ning Yi smiled and said, "Since it happened that it was raining again, Xiao Yi might as well stay and have tea and chat together? Huiniang is here too?"

As soon as he said this, Shishi and Yan Qing looked at him, and Shishi smiled and lowered her head, looking like nothing was wrong. However, Yan Qing frowned, then waved her hand with a smile: "No, there are still some things to go back, I have to go to the outsider."

"The case of the Uncle Inspector is almost the same?"

"With Mr. Lai Ning and the Prime Minister's vigorous dealings, the case of the Ministry of Justice has almost been overturned, but I'm afraid the things are... I can't get them back."

Speaking of this, he looked at Ning Yi and was a little reluctant to say anything. At this moment, the servant had already brought an umbrella and he was about to leave. Ning Yi sent him to the door and patted him on the shoulder. Then he whispered: "Young Master Ning, if the land under Mr. Lu's name was really not good........."

"I know what you mean." Ning Yi nodded, "Don't worry, I won't do anything randomly. Things will end here for the time being, and I will talk about it if I have the chance. Anyway, it's Mr. Lu's things, so he can do it in his heart."

Yan Qing then became happy: "I thank Mr. Ning for this."

Looking at his departure back, Ning Yi shook his head. What he said at this time was naturally Lu Junyi's wealth in Daming Mansion. When Lu Junyi was forced to rebel, the property was divided and occupied by various forces in Daming Mansion. Ning Yi once said that after whitewashing Lu Junyi, these things would still have to be taken back and confiscated to the Secret Investigation Department. Now that Liangshan has been destroyed, Lu Junyi's identity has been whitewashed, but it has become extremely difficult to get back these property. The main problem is that Liang Zhongshu of Daming Mansion is the direct descendant of Cai Jing's party.

With Qin Siyuan's current influence, even if he has real power, he can't actually withstand Cai Jing. After Lu Junyi and others entered Beijing, they already understood the power of the parties in the capital. Li Gang, Qin Siyuan and others currently have real power, and they are at the peak of the sky. Tong Guan is in command of military generals, and the court is also at the time of employing people, so it is also the limelight. No one dares to move the eunuchs formed by Liang Shishidao, but Qin Hui bites him as soon as he catches people! He is quite favored by the emperor, but no one can compare to the Grand Master Cai who has retired. He is a pillar that can pull out the big beam at any time. He has been in power for decades and has been in power all over the world. His hidden power and influence are beyond the reach of anyone.

After learning about these situations, Lu Junyi finally didn't want to pursue the matter any more.

First, he has not got many benefits, second......... The upper part of the Prime Minister's Mansion is really preparing to fight with Cai Jing, find a way to pull Liang Zhongshu off the horse, and then compete with Taishi Cai, and he will be the first to be affected. After all, he will not get much benefit. Who would be willing to be involved in such things for a lunatic?

It would be fine if someone else had done this. After all, Ning Yi had taken ten people to Liangshan for revenge and eventually killed something like Song Jiang. Although he started doing business and seemed more and more friendly, no one could guess what he had in his mind. And no one could understand Qin Siyuan's thoughts very well.

After Yan Qing left, Ning Yi and Shishicai walked towards the courtyard inside. A tea tray was placed under the eaves of the yard. A raincoat in the sky and the earth was beating the flowers, stones, plants and trees in the yard. Then she heard her talk about some trivial matters that Chen Sifeng hadn't come for a long time.

After all, Li Shishi is Li Shishi. Even though Ning Yi did not focus on these things, he had to admit that sitting and chatting with her here is a relaxing thing. Now, she is known as the No. 1 courtesan in the capital, and she seems to have an instinctive magic that can make everything around her perfect. Whether it is wind or rain, it seems to be just right around her, and time passes quietly in her heart.

"…………… Speaking of which, before the Chinese New Year, I met with that Young Master Yan again. Many things about Liheng were told to me later."

"Hope is a good thing."

Shishi tilted her head and thought, her eyes turned, and then nodded and said, "Well, it's all good things."

Ning Yi smiled. The topic was filled with trivial matters. When the spring thunder sounded in the sky, it became darker. Ning Yi stood up and said goodbye. The woman kept it once, and he drank another cup of tea. Before noon, Ning Yi went out to the prime minister's mansion. Li Shishi and his mother Li Yun also had to go out. After asking, he realized that she might have neglected a big shot when she was in the hospital last night and had to come to the door to apologize today.

The courtesan who opened the door in the brothel said that Jingui was Jingui because everyone held it together. But there were always some people in the capital that could not be used to show off their airs. Last night, there were two such people who came to the Anchor Building, one of which was a popular hero in the capital. Guo Yaoshi from the north was accompanied by a member of the Ministry of War to come to the Anchor Building to see the world. The other party asked Li Shishi to come out to meet the people. Li Shishi naturally dared not refuse. In fact, in the current atmosphere of Bianliang, the Northern Expedition is the main theme. Guo Yaoshi wanted to come to the Anchor Building to see Li Shishi. Even if it was Qin Siyuan and Li Gang, a member of the Ministry of War, would give the other party a face.

The other person who came to the Alum Tower at that time was probably a member of the Zhou royal family. He used a pseudonym and called himself Wu Ji. The one who accompanied him was Gao Qiu, the Grand Marshal, which showed that his identity would not be low. People with such status did not dare to recommend it, but when the other party heard that Guo Yaoshi was also there, he immediately gave in and said that there was no need to call Shishi girl over, but only called two other courtesans to chat and talk. He left before Li Yun accompanied Shishi to apologize, and he must have been a little excited.

Because of this incident, Li Yun had to accompany Shishi to the Taiwei Mansion to apologize today. The carriages on both sides walked several streets before they separated. After Ning Yi went to the prime minister's mansion, the carriages in the Anchor Tower stopped in front of the Taiwei Mansion.

The rain was a little anxious, and the sky was not good. It was not until lunch time, and Li Yun and Shishi were also famous figures in the capital. After the concierge informed, Gao Qiu received the two of them.

As the current Taiwei, he is from Cuju. Gao Qiu is tall and has a flat appearance, and has a star style that is quite like a later generation. Although his reputation in the court is not good, when talking about what happened last night, the other party just laughed openly and waved his hand to say that it was okay.

"Originally, that noble man had a very good identity. The Master told me to take him to play in Beijing and not to neglect it. If it were someone else last night, Gao would have to argue with him, but since he was Commander Guo, the situation was completely different. Recently, Commander Guo made great contributions in the war in the north. It was not easy for him to come south and he would have to go back in a few days. Last night, the Master was here today, and I am afraid that he would have to give the opportunity to meet Miss Shishi to Commander Guo."

Taiwei Gao took a sip of tea and laughed again: "The noble man thought about this matter so much, and he would never be jealous of Miss Shishi. However, if Miss Shishi neglected Commander Guo, he would be angry because of this."

After hearing the other party say this, Li Yuncai hurriedly thanked him and said, "That nobleman is so open-minded, Lao Shi and Shi Shi feel a little sad. I just don't know if the nobleman is still in the capital and lives there now. Can Lao Shi and Shi Shi come to visit him in person, so that Shi Shi can thank the nobleman for his crime of neglecting in person, so..."

"Oh, there's no need for this." Taiwei Gao waved his hand and interrupted Li Yun with a smile. "One of the time, that noble man is busy with all kinds of things, and the second is that the other party has no grudges, why do you remember it in your heart? The two of you came to visit and seemed deliberate. I just hope that next time he goes to the Alum Tower, Miss Shishi can meet him in person and talk about his thoughts. The place of joy is to be a mother Li, and we are also old acquaintances. Why do you have to apologize at once? It seems pretentious."

Li Yun's alum building can be opened in the capital, and he has known countless noble people. Gao Qiu often goes when he is rich and honored. When he apologized, he basically means it. In fact, there is only one large official in the capital, and Li Shishi has only one. Who would demolish the brothel just to see a courtesan? Just climb the door, and there is always a comprehensive meaning. When people think about it later, they will think that Li Yun is very good and will come to apologize for a small matter.

While speaking, officials from the Ministry of War had already come to visit Gao Qiu. Li Yun stood up and said goodbye, and then the housekeeper sent the two out of the side door. Li Yun pulled Shishi and walked and said softly: "The identity of that noble man looks amazing. I have never seen him in Beijing in the past. He may be either the prince or the prince. I am afraid he will still be in charge of the matter..."

Most of the Wu Dynasty clan relatives had no power, and they were raised as a bucket. But a few clan relatives who could hold some power were the most trusted confidants of the royal family. Li Yun could guess that Shishi naturally understood it. When the two turned a corridor and approached the side yard where the carriage was parked, they suddenly heard noisy and noisy sounds coming.

"Where--"

In the heavy rain, someone was shouting like this. The sound came from inside the Taiwei Mansion. There seemed to be someone dissuading something in the chaotic sound, but in a moment, the voices were already coming to this side.

"Where are you - don't stop me! Where is Li Shishi... Get out of here! I don't listen! Look at me, look at me - I don't want to calm down! Do you look at me like I'm so cold? Do you believe it or not, I will kill you! All! Home! Li Shishi! Don't leave, stay and fight me for 300 rounds-"

As the voice approached, Li Yun frowned and whispered, "Is it Gao Yanei?" The manager of the Taiwei Mansion who was sent out was also a little embarrassed. Looking back, Gao Qiu's adopted son Gao Muen rushed out of the gate of the courtyard in a wide robe and his hair was loose like a madman. When he saw the two, he pointed at this side. Around him, four or five followers were panickedly blocking and persuading.

In the past, in the capital, Li Shishi, Li Yun and the most rampant Yanei in the capital have also seen it.

However, although the other party is quite notorious, he likes good women. Secondly, the fame of Li Shishi and Ao Lou also makes him unwilling to do whatever he wants, and there is no much intersection between the two.

have to

Last year, on the birthday of the Empress Dowager, Gao Muen offended a princess who came to celebrate her birthday, which made the royal family angry. It is said that this Huahua Tai Sui was beaten half to death by Gao Qiu and was locked up in the mansion since then. In this matter, everyone was more concerned about Gao Qiu being scolded and deposed by the emperor, so they didn't understand it anymore. At this time, Li Yun was a little confused, but Shishi suddenly remembered the little princess named Zhou Pei on her way to Beijing last year.

side

I saw Gao Muen killing from there: "Li Shishi! You dare to come to the door! Don't stop me! Calm down, I'll show you coldly! Don't you want me to calm down!"

While walking, he waved his hand that was stretched out when he was blocking him, unbuttoned the robe outside and threw it at the person. Li Yun took a few steps forward and exclaimed: "Young Master Gao, what's wrong? Are there any misunderstandings? Put on your clothes first and don't catch a cold..."

"Catching a cold! Misunderstanding! Don't pretend you don't know anything! I've heard it all! Is it true that Ning Liheng will open tomorrow? Li Shishi! You are very close to Ning Liheng? He is your mistress, right?"

Gao Muen rushed over in underwear, and Li Yun quickly stopped him: "Young Master Gao! Nothing is true! Nothing is true! You are wrong. Our Shishi just knows that person. It doesn't matter. Don't talk nonsense and ruin your daughter's reputation... The Bamboo Record has been opened..."

"Go away--" Gao Muen pushed Li Yun away, "Don't think that if he killed Lu Qian, I'm afraid of him! Humph! Li Shishi, I used to be too lazy to pay attention to you when I look at others' face! Today is different! Do you have to perform tomorrow? Do you also sing the lyrics he wrote? I have heard it all... Look at me, I'm not so particular today, I'll give up as much as you are a prostitute, don't run away--"

At this time, the only one who dared to stop him was Li Yun. After being pushed to the ground by him, he hurried over to protect Gao Muen's legs. Shi Shi was so scared that she was stunned, then turned around to run, and suddenly the other party grabbed her hand.

"ah--"

Shishi screamed and struggled to break away from the other party. Gao Muen was actually not strong enough. After being thrown away, he raised his other hand and slapped him in the face.

With a "bang", the woman fell into the rain outside the corridor, muddy.

"Haha! Does it hurt - by the way, I spent your face first and then broke your body, and then smashed his shop tomorrow! Otherwise, he would have thought that I was afraid of him-" Gao Muen raised his hand and rushed towards the woman in the rain, "Don't run away, be more obedient, cry louder, I can break your body first and then crack your face today. I heard that it would be less painful, hahahahahahahaha-ˉ-"
