An Dahan was very drunk, and Xiao Feng also drank a lot. Finally, he was not knocked down by An Dahan and saved his face.
When I returned to the official office in Datong City, I saw Zhang Wuxin holding a piece of paper and reading it with a smile on his face.
"Why are you giggling? Did An Qingyue write you a letter? That's not it, you just wrote a letter in four or five days?"
Zhang Wuxin slowly shook the letter: "It's not Qingmei's, it's a secret order from Her Highness the Princess, delivered by flying pigeons."
Xiao Feng was stunned: "Where did she get the pigeons? The pigeons in the Xiao Mansion are all under the control of Qiao Niang. She would definitely not let others use them without me."
Zhang Wuxin shrugged his right shoulder and handed the letter to him. Xiao Feng frowned and took it over to read.
"Master Xiao, I haven't had any medicine for five days. My whole body feels unwell, my breath is weak, and my tentacles are cold. If I don't have medicine anymore, I might be in trouble.
In addition, someone recently wrote to my father, claiming that there is medicine that can cure me, and asking my father to grant me a marriage. He is the son of an official, and he is very knowledgeable. My father is also very moved and hopes to return soon."
Xiao Feng had a headache. If the princess could get married, it would actually be a good thing. He should breathe a sigh of relief, but why did he always feel that something was wrong?
The princess has been ill for a long time. If any official had such a wonderful medicine at home, he should have taken it out to please Jiajing long ago. Why did he wait until now?
Anyway, the matter is settled here, Xiao Feng decided to go back first. After all, if she doesn't take medicine for a long time, the princess's physical weakness should be true, but this girl has always been exaggerating.
Xiao Feng didn't know that at this time, the emissary had already set off with Yan Zhihu, and Yan Shifan also rarely left the house with his face still slightly swollen, and made a special trip to Baihua Tower to see Zhang Yuan.
Yan Shifan was not at home, and the whole Yan
The backyard of the mansion seemed a little more relaxed than usual, and many concubines went to the garden to play and enjoy flowers.
Living under the nose of a pervert, even the most favored person will feel on tenterhooks, because with a pervert, you have no idea what he is thinking or what he will do in the next second.
If you don’t understand this feeling, you can watch more movies that describe perversion, such as captivity, slaves, and lambs. Those with these keywords are usually the same.
Rouge Leopard was not assigned a task, so the secret envoy persuaded Yan Shifan to follow the old rules: only one of the Rouge sisters could be sent out, and the other could not leave the capital.
Although Yan Shifan no longer has the armed force of ninjas, he has a close relationship with Dongchang. Although Dongchang cannot help him openly, there is still no problem in secretly helping him keep an eye on a few people.
However, today, Yan Shifan had to let Dongchang take a risk once, and he was prepared to pay a heavy price. Zhang Yuan was not a good man or woman, and the cooperation between the two parties was completely related to interests.
When Zhang Yuan saw the number of silver notes in Yan Shifan's hand, his eyes immediately lit up, but he still pretended to be reserved in order to raise the price.
"Mr. Xiao Ge, you asked me to do it. It was a matter of losing my head. Now Wan Zai trusts Jin Yiwei as much as Dongchang. It's too big a risk for me to take at this time."
Yan Shifan smiled slightly, took out another banknote, put them together, and pushed them to Zhang Yuan.
"That's all. Let's talk openly. If you really want to talk about the things Dongchang did, which one won't cost you your head?
How many officials have you wronged and how many innocent people have you killed over the years? If nothing else, you, the girl from Baihualou,
, how did it all come about, do you need to say?
That ninja, whether he is dead or not, does not pose much of a threat to me. I just want peace of mind. I have taken care of all the big things, and you are just going along with the flow.
I don’t blame you if you don’t want to do it. It’s just that if we don’t do a few stupid things together, our future cooperation will be limited. I can’t let it go.”
Zhang Yuan was silent, he heard the kindness and threat in Yan Shifan's words. Although he was the owner of Dongchang, he did not have the same friendship with Jiajing as Lu Bing, and the evidence in Dongchang's hands was not enough to threaten Yan Shifan.
If the Yan Party uses all its strength to deal with him, Yan Shifan must have some evidence of Dongchang's crimes. With the Yan Party's strength, it may be a lose-lose situation for both sides when dealing with Lu Bing. But if he deals with himself, he will most likely be defeated unilaterally.
Yan Shifan is now letting him make a choice and confirming the previously inseparable cooperation: If you are willing to cooperate with Yan Dang, then stop being coy and only after they go to bed will they be considered husband and wife!
If you are unwilling to cooperate with Party Strict, then let’s make a clean break today, and I won’t need your help in the future, so just ask for your own blessings!
This method is the same as that of many scumbag PUA girls nowadays: If you say you love me, you have to prove it to me and don’t go back to school tonight.
If you don't agree, it means you don't love me, so we'll break up, and then I'll pretend to jump off a building and cut a bowl for you to see.
Therefore, girls should remember that when the other person says this, they must sincerely tell him: My dad and my brother have been looking forward to this day.
Go, go sleep at my house! What? You don’t dare to go? You don’t even dare to sleep with me, and you dare to say you love me? Break up!
Zhang Yuan thought about it for a long time, and finally he hesitated.
He nodded cautiously and decided not to go home tonight.
Yan Shifan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his grasp of human nature was once again successful. Zhang Yuan was ruthless, but under Lu Bing's strength, he was always full of insecurity.
And based on the relationship between Lu Bing and Huang Jin, in the future Huang Jin will officially become the first brother of the eunuch, and the Jin Yiwei will definitely suppress Dongchang even more. The factory owner himself will become a puppet, and will be replaced at any time, or even kicked out.
The crime of pot-topping.
But things are different after forming an alliance with Yan Dang. It is an open secret that Lu Bing is afraid of Yan Dang. Yan Dang plus Dongchang are enough to compete with the combination of Lu Bing and Huang Jin. At least for now, it is enough. As for the future...
"Mr. Xiaoge, you have become the master of His Highness King Jing again. If King Jing can ascend the throne in the future, you will be the emperor's master. Don't forget me then!"
Yan Shifan nodded and looked at Zhang Yuan with a more appreciative look. This guy is indeed not an idiot. He is determined to form an alliance. Sure enough, it has something to do with King Jing, the precious lump in his hand.
"Don't worry, as long as you and I work together to help King Jing succeed, the factory owner will definitely be able to make further progress!"
The proud Yan Shifan did not know that there was a fire in his backyard.
Rouge Leopard, who was bored in the house, was sitting cross-legged, meditating and practicing kung fu. Suddenly, his ears perked up as someone approached his door. But this person obviously didn't know martial arts. Although his steps were light, they were not the light kung fu steps of internal energy-raising.
Then there was a gentle knock on the door. Rouge Leopard opened his eyes, looked at the door, and asked in a low voice: "Who?"
The door was pushed open. She was wearing a long skirt, thick black hair with a silver hairpin inserted sideways, almond eyes and peach cheeks, with a deep melancholy look. It was Li Li.
My nearest neighbor is Ruyu.
Rouge Leopard frowned: "What do you want from me?"
The Rouge sisters never interacted with Yan Shifan's concubines, and no one came to visit them. They treated each other as if they were nothing.
Ruyu lowered her head and twisted her hands together. On her slender and strong fingers, slightly thicker joints could be faintly seen. Because she wanted to protect the stability of her hands, Yan Shifan did not force her to soak her hands with cartilage.
"Are you...tiger sister, or leopard sister?"
Rouge Leopard couldn't help but get goosebumps as she listened to her soft and hoarse voice. She couldn't figure out why Ruyu came to her. Could it be that he came to test her on behalf of Yan Shifan?
"I'm Rouge Leopard, what's the matter with you?"
"Sister Bao, you often go out to do errands and are well-informed. You...do you know that there is Zeng Zaoban in the Craftsman Hall of the Ministry of Industry?"
Rouge Leopard was stunned and looked at her cautiously. After much deliberation, he realized that there was nothing confidential about this matter, and there was no need for Yan Shifan to test such public information.
"I know, he is no longer in the Ministry of Industry."
Ruyu's face suddenly turned pale, and she quickly took two steps forward. Rouge Leopard immediately shrugged its shoulders, like a big cat sensing danger and ready to take action at any time.
This was instinctive, and then she realized that Ruyu probably didn't know martial arts, but her instant momentum had frightened Ruyu, making her afraid to go any further.
"Zeng Zaoban...he, what happened to him? Did something happen to him?"
Rouge Leopard suddenly remembered the case of the female corpse in the dry well. During that time, Yan Shifan locked Ruyu in the house for several days and was not allowed to go out. Only he could go in and out.
"Zeng Zaobao is fine
Son, he is old and has withdrawn from the Ministry of Industry, and now he is working in Xiao Feng’s view of worldly affairs. Why...why do you care about him so much?"
Ruyu's face improved slightly, she lowered her head and said softly: "Then I'm relieved, thank you sister." After saying that, she actually turned around and left.
"If you are concerned about the news about Zeng Zaoban, I can help you find out more when I go out in the future. But you have to tell me what your relationship is with Zeng Zaoban. Otherwise, if you ask me again in the future, I won't tell you."
Ruyu stopped, obviously she had no other source of information. She should be able to ask Yan Shifan, but she might not dare to believe what Yan Shifan told her.
After a while, Ruyu sat on Yanzhihu's bed across from her and raised her head to look at Yanzhibao. Yanzhibao also looked at her, carefully looking at her from head to toe.
Rouge Leopard has lived in the backyard for more than two years, but Ruyu has always been reclusive and rarely shows up. This is a very beautiful woman, but if you look carefully, you can still see a lot of things wrong.
"Sister Bao, Zeng Zaoban is my master. My original name is Bai Jue, and I was originally a man."
Rouge Leopard's body trembled slightly. She had guessed a little bit, so she was not particularly surprised. Yan Shifan's masculine style was not a secret, and scholars in the capital mocked him for his double-pronged approach.
Although some elephant aunties also have the practice of men dressing up as women to attract customers, these are all temporary, just like the Tsing Yi actress who goes on stage to sing in an opera, she is still a man after taking off her makeup.
Yan Shifan went to great lengths to use various drugs to turn a man into a woman. This is a very rare and extremely rare abnormal behavior.
"When I was six years old, I was
I was abducted by traffickers, and because I was pretty, I was sold to the Elephant House. The people there forced me to learn arts and pretend to be a woman, but I didn't want to, so I was always beaten."
There was deep sadness in Ruyu's eyes, as if she had returned to that terrible place, but there was a warm smile on her face.
"Later, my master was invited by the Elephant House to make furniture. You don't know, like those brothels, many luxurious furniture must be carefully crafted, and the craftsmanship is not good.
I had just finished being beaten, and I was fascinated by the exquisite things my master was making, so I helped him. He was surprised and said that I was a genius and had the same skillful hands as him.
When no one was paying attention, I cried and begged him to take me away, otherwise I would definitely die here. The master was very embarrassed, but he finally agreed.
The master found my mother and said that I was a good young man. He wanted to accept me as his apprentice and redeem my life. When my mother saw that I refused to learn the art, the master was willing to pay, so he offered me a big price.
Master spent all his savings to redeem my life. The day he took me home was the happiest day in my life. In the days to come, I lived happily every day.
Although Master would beat me because I was playful when he was teaching me crafts, I was still very happy because I knew that Master beat me for my own good, unlike those who beat me."
With the recollection, a smile appeared on Ruyu's face. At that moment, spring flowers bloomed, and even Rouge Leopard was a little stunned.
"But later, when I was more than ten years old, people said that I became more and more handsome and looked less like a man. For some reason, the local magistrate also wanted to
I took him away. Unfortunately, Master had no choice but to take me and escape from the residence overnight."
Ruyu's face darkened, her hands tightly grasped the hem of her skirt, and there were faint blue veins under her fair skin.
"Master said, take me to the capital, saying that it is the most royal place in the world. Who knew, but we fell into a trap ourselves."
