The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

The shape is exquisite, and the cloud-like patterns keep flickering under the moonlight, which is very beautiful.

But until now, Luochuanke still feels that the eyes of the woman in white that night were the brightest and most captivating.

Looking back now, I feel that it was not without reason that those men praised her as "Yuexian"; on the contrary, it was quite appropriate. Unfortunately...I had no chance to meet another stunning woman who was praised as the goddess of flowers and was a rival of Yuexian.

After Luochuanke finished talking about his previous discovery, he suddenly stopped talking, half-closed his eyes, and seemed to be lost in thought.

The eyes of Tang Zhifu, who was sitting at the top, lit up: "Are you serious?!"

Without waiting for an answer, he asked again hurriedly: "Yes, the stone tied to Yue Mingye was indeed carved by someone. On it was a picture of a lotus under the moon, with flowing clouds accompanying the moon, and the moon shining on the lotus. In order to avoid confusing the government, it was not disclosed to the public! Do you remember any other suspicious things that night, or any suspicious people?!"

Prefect Tang seemed to see political achievements waving at him, and in a moment of excitement, he even stood up from his seat and leaned over to question Luochuanke. After Luochuanke fell silent, he suddenly realized that he had lost his composure, squinted his eyes, glanced at the people on both sides, cleared his throat, stroked his beard, and slowly sat back.

"Well, it was my fault. By the way, I haven't asked the girl's name yet." Prefect Tang's attitude softened a little.

Luo Chuanke generously gave his name and introduced himself to Lu Weiyuan: "My surname is Luo, my given name is Miao (miǎo), and my courtesy name is Chuanke. This is Miss Yun who is traveling with me."

Thanks to the intelligence agencies that Xie Yuzhen had spent so many years building in various places in Dasheng, after Lu Weiyuan told Luochuanke the fake name "Yun Ni", within just one day, he had already obtained the household registration pass that matched the name, and even a small part of the character's biography written by a certain brother...

Lu Weiyuan nodded in agreement at Luochuanke's kind introduction. The footsteps she heard were getting closer and closer, and she was wondering who those people were coming for.

Is he the Luochuan guest who is very good at telling stories?

Or is it the self who is hiding his true identity but not too seriously?

Or has the family of this unfortunate guy lying on the ground come?

Or are you on Qi Shaofeng's side?

Lu Weiyuan glanced at Prefect Tang, who was showing his emotions very openly in the hall - this man didn't seem very trustworthy.

She tilted her head slightly toward the outside of the lobby.

It has been so long, Hu Ziyi should have discovered that he and Luochuanke were not on the several river channels that were estimated earlier... and the old boatman who was brought here but was released early because he really had no suspicion, so there is no need to worry that Hu Ziyi doesn't know where the two of them are.

But...it's only the first day after entering the city and he's already gotten himself into the government office. Xinsui must be very anxious and angry.

Lu Weiyuan stopped trying to listen for the sounds that ordinary people couldn't hear, raised his hand to his lips and yawned slightly. In his heart, he sincerely hoped that the owners of those footsteps would be more tolerant and not go too far in their actions, otherwise his already hot-tempered little childhood sweetheart would become even more irritable.

"...a suspicious person..." Just when Lu Weiyuan's mind was in a mess, Luochuanke was still telling his story.

She looked at Qi Shaofeng thoughtfully: "Indeed there was one. I vaguely remember that he was a man, short and chubby. Oh, that's right!"

Luochuanke clapped his hands and said, "He is wearing a bright red dress and a bright green hat on his head. He is really eye-catching and unforgettable!"

"Nonsense!!!" Qi Shaofeng finally moved his hidden gaze away from Lu Weiyuan and glared at Luochuanke angrily, "How dare you repeatedly bring up my fourth brother!"

Qi Jibai, who was famous among the clients for his portraits of prostitutes in the past, was short and fat, and particularly liked to wear red clothes and a green hat. According to him, he regarded brothels as his home and took prostitutes everywhere as his wives, so he inevitably had to be the bridegroom every night and wore red, and because his "wife" was shared with others, he had to wear green clothes.

"Oh, so that person is actually the Fourth Young Master Qi?" Luo Chuanke's face showed no regret for frequently talking about a dead person. In his pretended surprised expression, his eyes were full of teasing, "I really didn't know. I'm sorry, Fifth Young Master."

Upon hearing that the suspicious person was actually related to the Qi family, the excitement on Prefect Tang's face faded in an instant. After a brief hesitation, his expression turned cold: "What a bold woman, how dare you accuse the Fourth Young Master Qi in court! Are you deliberately making fun of me and deliberately disrespecting the court?!"

"I sympathized with your young age and that you were still a woman, so I didn't ask you to wait until you saw the official to kneel down and kowtow. But I didn't expect that I was naive and almost let you, a cunning woman, deceive me and make others suspect me!"

When Magistrate Tang raised his hand and was about to draw a stick from the tube containing the order sticks on the table.

Luochuanke took a step forward, looked up and looked into the eyes of Tang Zhifu, and said, "I just told you what I saw and heard. Why are you so sure that I am trying to frame someone else?"

How can this be considered as false accusation?

A cold voice sounded in Luochuanke's heart.

I've known for a long time that the Qi family showed up here so quickly, they must have other intentions, but...is he here for the little prince behind him, or is he afraid that the prince has found out something in Water City, so he has to show up?

unimportant.

Luo Chuanke said to herself that these were not important. What was important was that things did not develop completely according to her initial expectations. Although the little prince and Qi Shaofeng had each made subtle interference, the situation was still generally under control. It was just that...

The attitude of Prefect Tang, the official of Water City, made Luochuanke realize one more thing - although he appeared to be incompetent and mediocre, some things on the shadow side of this small city were absolutely inseparable from the existence of Prefect Tang, and it was obvious that he and Qi Shaofeng were in cahoots.

and.

Perhaps there was a traitor among the people under his control, who had secretly turned to the other side and chose to cooperate with the Qi family. Otherwise, Qi Shaofeng would not have appeared so punctually and cooperated so smoothly with Prefect Tang.

So one last question.

Why are they performing this drama in unison in the lobby of the government office today?

The order from Magistrate Tang failed to be drawn, and Qi Shaofeng looked at Lu Weiyuan again who remained silent, while a white-haired old man suddenly jumped out from the entrance of the lobby.

He rushed in howling and threw himself on the male corpse on the ground: "Master!! Master, you died so tragically, Master!!!"

The wailing sound continued, and Lu Weiyuan gently pinched his earlobe.

The footsteps had stopped, just outside the lobby door, just at the corners on both sides, just behind Magistrate Tang.
