In another room of the inn, Shen Yunfan had already asked the girl thoroughly.
Her surname is Hu. She is a native of Jiaozhou. Her family background is average. She learned pipa from a geisha in her early years, and later went to a brothel to perform. Her brother is a general in the Jiaozhou garrison.
So even in the brothel, no one dared to touch her.
After hearing this news, Shen Yunfan had some vague guesses in his mind. It seemed that this girl was also kept in the dark.
"Girl, you'll rest here tonight. I'm tired, so I'm going back to rest." After asking, Shen Yunfan didn't stay long and went back to his room.
The girl was a little puzzled, thinking that these officials were really weird. They paid her to perform, but they didn't even listen to the pipa?
She simply didn't know that she had been involved in a conspiracy.
And Shen Yunfan returned to his house. As soon as he entered the door, a warm body pressed against him.
"Ling'er is so proactive today?" He was startled, and after taking a closer look, he realized that the person in his arms was not Feng Chime at all, but the captive princess of Zheng State!
At this time, her face was flushed, her eyes were a little blurry, and her legs were wrapped around Shen Yunfan like an octopus.
Shen Yunfan was stunned for a long time. He looked up at the table. Seeing the half glass of water left on the table, he slapped his head and said in surprise: "Did you drink that tea?"
"Well, it feels so uncomfortable."
"Then you go to bed and have a rest first." Shen Yunfan secretly thought that it was bad luck and regretted bringing up the teapot.
"You hug me." Princess Zheng looked drunk, like a seductive little goblin.
Shen Yunfan swallowed and could only lift the person in his arms and carry him to the bed.
But when he was about to get up, his neck was tightly hooked again, and with a strong hand, the girl pulled him to the bed.
The two of them were almost face to face, and Princess Zheng's body was filled with the scent of rouge, alcohol and a touch of Chinese medicine.
Seeing that something was wrong, Shen Yunfan persuaded: "Princess, think about it, I don't want to be the prince-in-law, and I won't be responsible for you. It's still too late to let go of me now."
"Give it to me." Princess Zheng snorted softly, her lips pressed against hers, and she didn't give Shen Yunfan a chance to speak.
Under the candlelight, the two bodies were intertwined.
Outside, Feng Chie searched for a long time but couldn't find Shen Yunfan. When he came back, he heard the movement in the room and moved over to take a look with curiosity on his face.
Then, her big eyes were filled with doubts.
"What are you doing? Why do you feel a little embarrassed?"
At the same time, outside the inn.
The magistrate was hiding behind the inn, listening with one ear against the wall.
At this moment, in the quiet night, some squeaking sounds were clearly heard from the second floor of the inn.
The Yamen Ling was overjoyed when he heard this. He turned around and left with a sneer: "It's true as Mr. Wang said, this imperial envoy is a ***. If General Hu hears it, the scene will be very exciting."
He took advantage of the darkness and went all the way back to Zhou Tongfu to report the matter to Wang Tong.
Wang Tong also laughed happily: "Hahahahaha, it is difficult for a hero to be a beauty. Tomorrow I will let the imperial envoy see what it means to have a sinister heart."
…
Early the next morning, Shen Yunfan woke up in a daze, and the people around him had long disappeared.
He thought about it for a while and realized that what happened last night was not a dream. Now when he got up, he still felt a little sore in his back.
"That princess usually looks cold and cold, but I didn't expect her to be quite crazy."
While he was muttering, Princess Zheng suddenly came in from outside with a meal in her hand.
Seeing her expression as usual, Shen Yunfan swallowed, stared at the food and said, "You won't poison it, right? You can't blame me for what happened last night. You have to be reasonable."
"Don't mention it again!" Princess Zheng's face turned red and she took another mouthful of food, "It's not poisoned!"
Shen Yunfan breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Do you have something to say?"
"Well, what you mentioned earlier
I’ve thought about it and I can cooperate with you.”
"What kind of cooperation method?"
"I have gathered the remnant soldiers of the Zheng Kingdom for your use temporarily. You have to provide military expenses to support us. But after a month, I will take people to the Jianghu city-state in the west. You are not allowed to stop me."
Shen Yunfan weighed it and thought that this deal was okay. It was equivalent to buying mercenaries for a month.
One month is enough time for him to do a lot of things.
But Princess Zheng thought that Shen Yunfan was unhappy, so she continued: "I know that raising us for nothing for a month is a loss for you. So..."
"So what?"
"So if you want me, I can accompany you anytime." Princess Zheng bit her lip, seeming to make up her mind.
What happened last night was an accident, but it was also an opportunity for her. At least, she had some more chips in front of Shen Yunfan.
Seeing her decisive look, Shen Yunfan rolled his eyes.
"Okay, I agree to this deal." Shen Yunfan said, and then said helplessly: "But don't treat me like a beast. What happened last night was just an accident."
At this moment, Xie Min knocked on the door.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy, please see me, Your Majesty the Yamen."
"Here we come." Shen Yunfan responded and walked out.
"My name is Zheng Wanyi." Princess Zheng said.
"Well, you should know my name." Shen Yunfan waved his hand and went out.
Staring at his back, Zheng Wanyi's face suddenly turned red and she muttered: "She looks well-dressed now, but she didn't look like this last night..."
At this time, on the first floor of the inn, the Ya Ling was sitting here with many guards, with a sneer on his lips.
Seeing Shen Yunfan coming down, he stood up and said with a smile: "Oh, the imperial envoy is really radiant today!"
"Come so early in the morning, what's wrong?"
"The flower girl we sent last night is not a prostitute, so the Imperial Envoy probably didn't touch her, right?"
"So what if it moves?" Shen Yunfan raised his eyebrows.
"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, you can't move!" The Yamen order pretended to be frightened.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and a group of black-armored generals led dozens of soldiers straight to the inn, menacingly!
A group of people surrounded the inn. When the general entered the door, he asked, "Where is my sister?!"
The officer saluted: "General Hu, the whereabouts of your sister... I have to ask the imperial envoy."
"Where is my sister?" General Hu looked at Shen Yunfan, with suppressed anger in his eyes.
Just now, he received news from others that his sister was taken away by a gangster last night and her innocence was humiliated!
As an elder brother, he would never tolerate this kind of thing!
The Yamen lowered their heads and felt secretly happy in their hearts.
General Hu was famous for being impulsive and guarding his shortcomings, so no one in the brothel dared to do anything inappropriate to his sister. This imperial envoy from the capital didn't understand this at all, so he naturally took the bait!
