The middle-aged man didn't expect Shangguan Wanning to suddenly turn against him and was stunned for a moment at a loss.
"Our Prime Minister's Mansion is not a good place to visit, so please come back." Shangguan Wanning's attitude was firm, and she angered the middle-aged man a little.
The middle-aged man calmed down and his tone became colder.
"The princess is unwilling to do something convenient?"
"My father has not come back after being ordered to go out for business. There are female relatives in the prime minister's mansion. Wouldn't it be defiled our innocence if you let a group of men enter the backyard?"
"Hmph, then if the assassin runs away, will the princess be responsible?"
"Just, you are not doing your own business and want to push the blame on me? Besides, you are just the guardian of the Ling Mansion, not the official, at all. What qualifications are you to go into the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion to search? Even if you Lord Ling, you
I came to walk the dog myself, but I still couldn't get in."
"you……"
The middle-aged man was so choked by Shangguan Wanning's words that he couldn't speak. He wanted to refute it, but found that he could not do anything to Shangguan Wanning, so he could only blush with anger.
"Okay, let's take a look."
The middle-aged man left with his sleeves, and Shangguan Wanning breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, she came to the backyard room. When she pushed the door open, she saw Huo Gang sitting cross-legged on the bed to use his exercises to heal his wounds, and his face recovered a lot.
Shangguan Wanning wrote a prescription and asked Lutong to decoct the medicine. She sat aside and waited. After about half of the incense stick, Huo Gang slowly opened his eyes.
Just then, Lutong also brought the medicine, Huo Gang blew it and drank it all in one go.
"Brother Huo, how are you?"
Huo Gang sighed heavily. "Miss, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."
"It's okay. But, can Brother Huo tell me why he wanted to break into Ling Mansion at night?"
Huo Gang's face once became gloomy. After hesitating for a while, he said viciously: "If we don't kill this bastard Ling Ruiying, I don't know how many innocent women will be hurt."
"Brother Huo, why do you hate Ling Ruiying so much? Is there any other hidden information?"
Huo Gang lowered his head and said nothing. Shangguan Wanning found that his eyes were red and his shoulders were trembling slightly, as if he was thinking of some painful things.
A man with iron bones can move him, how could Shangguan Wanning bear to force him?
"Brother Huo, you have a good rest. The Prime Minister's Mansion is safe. Don't go out in the past few days. Just tell me if you need anything."
Shangguan Wanning was about to get up and leave, but Huo Gang finally spoke.
"Ling Ruiying is a psychopath. All the victims were tortured by her and their lives were worse than death. In that respect... he seems to be different from others. In the southeastern prefecture... there is a victim girl who is about to die.
I told me before that there were three red moles on the inner side of the murderer’s right leg.”
Shangguan Wanning was a little surprised. She felt that Huo Gang knew much more about this case than she had imagined.
After returning to the room, Shangguan Wanning stayed up all night.
These things that I had never experienced in my previous life are now happening.
There must be a cause and a result, and we must find a way to solve it.
Shangguan Wanning asked the housekeeper to secretly send someone to find Ling Ruiying's whereabouts. In the evening, she took Lutong and slipped out from the back door.
"Miss, why do we need to dress...ah!"
Before Lu Tong could finish her words, Shangguan Wanning knocked her head with a fan.
She pouted with grievance.
"How many times have you told me, don't call me a lady, a master."
Lutong looked down at her men's outfit, but she was still very uncomfortable. "Then... Master, why do we dress like this?"
"Of course I'll wear men's clothing when I go to Yihongyuan."
"ah?"
Lu Tong's face suddenly changed, she turned around and was about to run back, but was pulled back by Shangguan Wanning. "What are you doing?"
"Young master, let's go back, don't mess around. If the master and wife know this, will I have life?"
"If you don't say it, I won't say it, your parents may not know. Your life can still be preserved, but if you don't listen to me..." Shangguan Wanning raised Lutong's chin with a fan, "You must be
I'm dead. How about it, choose."
Lutong stomped her feet, feeling crazy.
She followed Shangguan Wanning helplessly. When the two of them arrived at Yihong Courtyard, a charming girl came up and took their arms intimately.
"Oh, young master, you haven't been here for a long time. I miss you so much."
A fragrant handkerchief was waving in front of Shangguan Wanning, and she couldn't help but sneeze.
"Give me a private room, and then find Bicui and Hongshuang."
Shangguan Wanning took out two ingots of silver and handed it to the Paotang. The Paotang immediately smiled and led her to the private room on the second floor.
Soon, Yihonglou's mother came in and poured wine to Shangguan Wanning and apologized.
"Young Master, I'm so embarrassed. Bi Cui and Hongshuang are not in good health to pick up customers tonight. How about I find another girl for you? All the girls here are good products, so you can satisfy you."
Shangguan Wanning frowned, put down the wine glass and said, "I heard from my friends that Hongshuang and Bicui are the best. It's inconvenient for them to go together? Could it be that my mother doesn't want to make money from me?"
As soon as Shangguan Wanning finished speaking, she put a silver note of 100 taels on the table, and the old mother's eyes shone.
"Mom, don't worry too much. I came here to see the name. They can't pick up customers tonight, so I'll just recite poems with me. I just want to have a glimpse of my beauty. As for other things... I'll talk about it later."
The old mother didn't want to drive away the God of Wealth. She thought for a long time, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, you can wait."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
After a long time, the door of the private room was pushed open again. Two girls, eighteen or nineteen years old, walked in in a gorgeous manner, surrounded Shangguan Wanning from left to right, poured wine and fed vegetables, serving very thoughtfully.
.
Shangguan Wanning was indeed just talking about love and romance with them, without doing anything excessive, and soon won the favor of the two.
"What a pity, young master is talented, but we two cannot serve tonight. I wonder if the young master will come again in the future?"
Shangguan Wanning felt that the time was almost right, so she put down the wine glass and lowered her eyes and smiled slightly.
"Luckily, the two girls are inconvenient tonight, otherwise... I'm afraid I'll be embarrassed and I can't do anything. What's more..."
Shangguan Wanning sighed in disguise and said, "I heard that the two girls served the famous Southeast Jiedushi Ling Ruiying. He is tall and powerful, and has great martial arts skills, so he must be able to satisfy the two girls.
