Chapter 174 Deception ([-])

Everything went according to plan. Zhang Ziyuan was not happy, and the Minister of War was not happy. They secretly suppressed Ren Yuankai. Originally, they should have been polite to him for the sake of Prime Minister Wen, but maybe they wanted to make Ren Yuankai suffer a little and restrain himself. Therefore, he did not stop his own behavior, and Su Min also entered the Prime Minister's Mansion under Zhusang's "secret operation".

A few days later, the hero came back from Jinzhou.

The male protagonist Pei Zhou is the younger brother of the dead Pei Qing. In terms of intelligence, he is not inferior to his elder brother. It's just that the family is poor and can only afford one person's money. Therefore, Pei Qing was only allowed to come to the imperial city to participate in the scientific examination.

The news of Pei Qing's death spread to Pei's family. Pei's mother, who was not in good health, just left without coming up. Pei Zhou knew that his brother had no heart disease at all and could only be killed by others, so he buried him After marrying Pei's mother, he sold all the valuable things in the family, including the house, and collected enough money to come to the imperial city. He wanted to find the murderer who killed his brother.

He traveled all the way to the imperial city, and he had no extra money to stay in the inn, so he could only live in the ruined temple outside the city.

Pei Zhou knew that it would take time for him to find out the truth, so he had to find a job in the city, but with his unkempt appearance, it was difficult to find a decent job, so he was ready to do coolies when he entered the city up.

As soon as Pei Zhou entered the city, he saw the notice of recruiting people in Chunxiang Building, and the salary was not low, but he didn't know where Chunxiang Building was, so he could only ask a passer-by. Disgusted with his clothes, "Chunxiang Building? You still want to work in Chunxiang Building like you? You have a good idea. You don't know how many men squeezed their heads and wanted to enter Chunxiang Building this time. Just you? Heh."

Pei Zhou was smart enough to guess what kind of place Chunxiang Tower was. Serious scholars would be a little reluctant to places like this. They thought it was immoral and immoral, and Pei Zhou was no exception. But now the situation is pressing. , after entering the city, there was a notice recruiting people, so I had to try it first no matter what.

He didn't ask any more questions, just went shopping in the street, and found the location of Chunxiang Building in a short time. Men are conspicuous enough.

Pei Zhou frowned, standing outside the crowd, he was hesitating whether to squeeze in, when the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, a woman's voice came from inside, "Everyone, please go back, this There is already a suitable candidate for the position.”

Some of the men were disappointed and left dejectedly, while some still wanted to fight for it.

Pei Zhou didn't have to worry about it now. He turned around and was about to leave, but he was immediately stopped by someone. The person who stopped him was a little girl in pink. She looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. She should also be a girl from Chunxiang Tower, but she It's not like the women in the brothel, "Miss, is this?"

"This young master, our master has chosen you, please come with me."

After saying that, he walked towards the door. Pei Zhou was stunned for a while, then he realized that the "someone has been selected" was referring to him. Then he raised his heels and asked, "May I ask the girl her name?"

"Peach."

"Miss Xiaotao... I dare to ask, why me?"

"Our master said that you look like an honest man. There are mostly women in the Chunxiang Building. If you find some lustful and hungry ghosts, wouldn't it be to lure wolves into the house? What's more...our master has other things to ask for you, you will know later up"

"Uh..." Pei Zhou didn't know if this was a compliment, and he was a little curious about what the boss of Chunxiang Building wanted from him.

Chunxiang Building is divided into four floors, the first floor is for scattered seats, the second floor is for private rooms, the third and fourth floors are the girls' quarters, and the servants' quarters are in the backyard.

Xiaotao led him all the way to the easternmost room on the fourth floor, "This is our master's room, go in."

"Ah?" Pei Zhou couldn't react, "Wait... the 'master' you're talking about should be a woman, right?"

"nature."

"Men and women are different..."

"This is a brothel."

Then you can’t even enter!Pei Zhou felt uneasy, but thinking about his current appearance, no woman should be interested in him, so he took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

Not long after, a woman's voice came from inside, "Enter—"

Pei Zhou opened the door and went in, only to find that there was not only a masked woman, but also a man of his own age inside. He was stunned for a moment, wondering whether he had come at the wrong time.

Seeing him like this, Zhusang thought he was an honest man again, "Xiao Tao, close the door and don't let anyone come near."

"Yes."

After closing the door, Zhu Sang poured a cup of tea and put it on Pei Zhou's side, "Young Master Pei, sit down."

Pei Zhou didn't know why, so he could only sit down. He was at a loss now, and Ling Guang's brain in the past seemed to be rusted, and he couldn't think at all.

"Mr. Pei, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Su Min, a good friend of your brother Pei Qing."

Hearing Pei Qing's name, Pei Zhou suddenly came back to his senses, and all his thoughts were instantly emptied, and he looked at Su Min, "So it's my brother's friend, I'm really rude for being unkempt .”

Su Min is not a person who pays attention to etiquette, so he naturally doesn't care about these things, "You're welcome."

Zhu Sang lightly knocked on the table, interrupting the politeness of the two, "Okay, don't be polite, that's why I put all my effort into bringing you together, Mr. Pei, you should come to the imperial city for Pei Qing dead?"

"Yes..." Pei Zhou clenched his fists, "Brother, he has never had any heart disease. How could he die of a heart attack like those people said? There must be a conspiracy in this!"

"Someone killed your brother..."

Zhusang told the whole story, "Now, for Pei Qing's sake, you two, and for Yuan Yuan's sake, I must expose Ren Yuankai's crimes to the public, but the difficulty now is that we have no evidence. The emperor attaches great importance to Ren Yuankai's talents. Although it is mainly because of the article written by Pei Qing, Ren Yuankai is not a loser. Maybe the emperor will think that he only talks nice words and gradually stop using him again, but he will not doubt his crime."

"Have we no clue at all?"

Su Min shook his head, "No, Ren Yuankai handled it very cleanly. There are no clues. I can only find a way to make him admit it personally..."

"How is this possible?" Pei Zhou shook his head, "If he can admit the crime he committed, why should we bother?"

"Of course there is a way, but I need your help~"
