"He deserves it! He actually put you in danger. Even if he wasn't injured, I can't spare him!"
"..." Ye Sili seemed to understand why Gu Liyou didn't look so good when he saw Chu Jin last night.
"You can't blame him. After all, he went out at the invitation of Xiao Ling and I, and this happened."
In the end, the one who was most wronged was Chu Jin.
"By the way, Ayou and I are going to Guanyi. Do you want to go?"
"Of course." Mu Jiufeng closed the folding fan in his hand with a "snap" sound, his face calm and calm, "Of course I want to see how useless that Prince Daliang is. He can't even protect two women.
He even made himself lie down on the bed!"
"..." Ye Sili looked at Mu Jiufeng's appearance and knew that there would be no peace in Guanyi today.
"Zuiyunlou is an unusual restaurant. It must not have been an accident that the group of people broke in yesterday." Gu Liyou glanced at Mu Jiufeng with disgust, "Jiufeng and the boss of Zuiyunlou are old acquaintances. You two should go first.
Go to Zuiyun Tower to inquire about it, I can just go to Guanyi."
"Okay." Ye Sili agreed quickly and pulled the reluctant Mu Jiufeng away.
The two of them seized the time and soon arrived at Zuiyun Tower. Ye Sili looked at the guards outside Zuiyun Tower with some confusion.
"How is this going?"
"I think this matter has caused such a big fuss that it has been reported to the Emperor. You left Zuiyun Tower yesterday before you were assassinated. The Emperor must have sent someone to investigate the case."
"Then we can't get in." Ye Sili looked at the heavily surrounded Zuiyun Tower, and Mu Jiufeng led her over.
The leading guard recognized Mu Jiufeng and said hello quickly, but said that the fourth prince was investigating the matter inside and it was difficult to let them in.
"Is the fourth prince responsible for this matter?"
Before Mu Jiufeng finished speaking, he saw Xiao Yu walking out.
"Jiu Feng, Si Li, why are you here?" When Xiao Yu saw Mu Jiu Feng and the two of them, his eyes immediately shone with light and he let the two of them enter Zuiyun Tower.
Xiao Yu looked at the folding fan in his hand and said, "So, you are also here to investigate the case?"
"Yes." Ye Sili looked around briefly. This was the first time she saw Zuiyun Tower so deserted.
The proprietress sat with her legs crossed at a table inside, and the waiter next to her poured wine for her. The proprietress of Zuiyunlou rarely showed up, and Sili didn't see her much, but he also remembered that she loved drinking.
Yes, just like at this time, Xiao Yu led people to seal off her restaurant, but she could still drink calmly.
Xiao Yu looked helpless and said: "The incident happened suddenly. Although Zuiyun Tower has been sealed off, there are too many guests here. You also cleaned the private room yesterday. No clues can be found. The landlady can't find anything either."
Did not say."
Mu Jiufeng followed Xiao Yu's helpless gaze.
"Luo Niang?"
The proprietress, who was sitting alone in the distance drinking, heard the sound and saw Mu Jiufeng, she actually put down her glass and walked towards the three of them.
"Mr. Jiufeng." Luo Niang looked at Xiao Yu and Ye Sili beside Mu Jiufeng and said clearly: "Mr. Jiufeng is also here to investigate the affairs of Prince Daliang?"
Ye Sili stood aside without saying anything, and looked at Luo Niang carefully. It turned out that the person in charge of Zuiyun Tower in Kyoto was actually such a woman.
Luo Niang is only in her early twenties, but she is not yet married. She runs such a large industry alone. Her behavior is neither humble nor overbearing, but her facial features are cold and cool. She does not appear flattering when talking to high-ranking officials and nobles, and she does not even have a smile on her face. Only when she saw Mu at this moment
Jiu Feng's tone became a little softer.
When Mu Jiufeng saw Luo Niang here, he knew that things would be much simpler. However, he was still very dissatisfied when he mentioned Prince Daliang.
"Who is willing to take care of him? If Si Li and Xiao Ling weren't involved, I wouldn't be too lazy to take care of him!"
Luo Niang glanced at Si Li and then asked a few people to sit down.
Mu Jiufeng took the tea poured by Luo Niang, took a sip, and asked:
"Luo Niang, do you know anything about this matter?"
Ye Sili and Xiao Yu both looked at Luo Niang curiously, but Luo Niang didn't hesitate and simply said:
"There are indeed some eyebrows."
Hearing this, Xiao Yu was unhappy.
"My voice was hoarse just now, but that's not what you said!"
Ye Sili pulled Xiao Yu to tell him to calm down, but Luo Niang only glanced at him lightly and said, "The fourth prince should tell Luo Niang earlier that you are a friend of Master Jiu Feng."
"Pfft!" Ye Sili couldn't help laughing when she saw Xiao Yu's deflated appearance.
Before Xiao Yu could speak again, Ye Sili said first:
"Luo Niang, please tell me."
"Long before Prince Daliang's accident, someone had already come to Zuiyun Tower to cause trouble."
"Yesterday morning, a man booked a private room opposite the princess. Not long after, several women came in and went to the men's private room. Seeing that they were all dressed up, the waiter didn't stop him. According to the waiter, the man had not locked up.
The private room door also looks towards the opposite room from time to time."
Because of Mu Jiufeng's relationship, they and their group were frequent visitors to Zuiyun Tower. The private rooms were also fixed and no one would go there on weekdays. It was reasonable for the waiter to pay more attention to their room because of the man's attention.
"That's it? Then what do you mean by having trouble just now?" Xiao Yu asked further.
Luo Niang glanced at the three of them and said calmly: "They are doing such frivolous and dirty things in my territory with the door open. Naturally, I will kick them out."
"..." Mu Jiufeng and Xiao Yu looked at each other and touched their noses in embarrassment.
It was probably when Luo Niang called for someone to drive away the group of people that a dispute broke out between the two parties.
Ye Sili looked at the three people who seemed to understand the cause of the matter, and was a little confused. Did she miss it? So, why did they start a fight?
"Why..." Before Ye Sili could finish asking, Mu Jiufeng quickly interrupted and asked:
"Luo Niang, do you know any other information? For example, what is the background of the man and the group of women?"
"Oh, yes, who are they?" Ye Sili turned to look at Luo Niang, waiting for her answer.
Luo Niang's eyes fell on Mu Jiufeng and Ye Sili and searched repeatedly, and finally settled on Mu Jiufeng. Her eyebrows seemed to be smiling but not smiling. She picked up the wine glass at hand and drank most of it, and said lightly:
"I don't know the identity of that man, but he is dressed like an ordinary young man, so I don't have much impression of him. But I am very familiar with that group of women..."
The three of them became even more energetic and listened attentively to what Luo Niang said.
"They are from Chunying Pavilion."
"Chun Ying Pavilion?!!!" The voices of the three of them were raised several times, and then their eyes changed from surprise to confusion and then to questioning.
"How do you know Chunying Pavilion?!" The three of them said in unison again and turned to look at each other.
Luo Niang just smiled faintly when she saw the inexplicable tacit understanding between the three of them.
Ye Sili spoke first, looking at Xiao Yu gossiping and asked:
"Ayu, how could you know about Chunying Pavilion when you are deep in the palace?"
"Sister Si Li, don't get me wrong, I'm not that kind of person!" Xiao Yu immediately understood Ye Si Li's burning desire for gossip, and quickly lowered his voice and explained: "I know Chunying Pavilion only because Qin Guiren originally
He's the top one there, so I barely heard about it."
Qin Guiren? Ye Sili has a little impression. It would be inappropriate for others to know about the concubines in the palace. But the person who said this was Xiao Yu, so Ye Sili didn't find it strange. Concubine Rong left early, and the palace
Only Xiao Yu and Xiao Ling have been with her since childhood. In order to protect Xiao Ling, Xiao Yu also knew the tricks of the women in the harem thoroughly.
"Then Jiu Feng, what's wrong with you?"
"Me?" Mu Jiufeng put on an arrogant look like a "gentleman is magnanimous" and said: "How can I know anything about that kind of fireworks place? I have only heard of it occasionally."
Chunying Pavilion is indeed quite famous.
"How did you know?"
"How did you learn that?"
Mu Jiufeng and Xiao Yu both looked at Ye Sili, their eyes staring at her making her feel guilty.
"I, I heard about it too. Isn't this a coincidence? So what should we do next?"
Ye Sili changed the subject abruptly. She wouldn't say that she was playing hide-and-seek with them when she was a child. She ran too far alone and happened to see girls at the door of Chunying Pavilion. She thought it could confuse her sight, so
She almost sneaked in, but the person inside was disheveled and tangled, so she was so frightened that she ran out again.
Xiao Yu carefully inquired about the details of Luo Niang’s day.
"Luoniang, how did you determine that they are from Chunying Pavilion?"
"Although they are wearing clothes from a decent daughter's family, the smell of rouge accumulated over the years is not easy to get rid of," Luo Niang replied.
She has met a lot of people from all walks of life, so her ability to recognize people is certainly not bad.
Ye Sili and the others left Zuiyun Tower and returned to Yu Gong's Mansion. They happened to meet Gu Liyou who had just returned from the hotel.
"Ayou, what did Dr. He find out?"
"Chu Jin's wound is indeed related to yesterday's rouge and gouache."
Gu Liyou said: "Chu Jin's wound yesterday was not serious, but it was not until Dr. He managed to stop the bleeding that his wound healed. Instead, it continued to get worse."
Ye Sili understood immediately.
"You mean we were tricked yesterday?"
Ye Sili carefully recalled everything yesterday and said:
"Xiao Ling and I decided to go find Chu Jin temporarily, so the person behind the scenes can only be the temporary layout yesterday. We went to the suburbs early in the morning. The reason why the man did not choose to do it in the suburbs was because he was not sure
Whether Chu Jin goes to the appointment alone, it may be because he is worried about Chu Jin's skills."
"Therefore, he deliberately staged the scene in Zuiyun Tower, letting Chu Jin be dipped in the special medicinal powder first, and then whenever he was injured, the wound would naturally deteriorate rapidly. But..."
Ye Sili didn't understand. Mu Jiufeng took her words and said:
"But how did the people behind the scenes determine that you would definitely go to Zuiyun Tower? There was also the time when you arrived at Zuiyun Tower, and how they determined that you would definitely get drunk."
Speaking of drunkenness, Ye Sili ignored Mu Jiufeng's gaze and said:
"If Chu Jin didn't drink too much yesterday, or if he didn't have to worry about me and Xiao Ling so much, then whether he would have been injured is another matter."
