Abduct a shadow guard to investigate the case

The lights are on.The night shrouded the town, and the door-to-door lanterns were lit from house to house, and the dots of orange-red halo were dimly intertwined.

Lexian Tower is located in the east of the town, backed by the foot of Luanqing Mountain, and built near the water.

When Shen Yao and Xuan Qi walked to the door, they saw strings of red lanterns floating in front of the building, bringing ambiguous colors to the night, and the sound of drums and music continued to radiate from the building.

The girls in front of the building were showing off their beauty, seeing the two of them hurriedly welcoming them into the building.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see the open lobby on the first floor, with loud music and the smell of alcohol.On a high platform in the center, several graceful women danced to drum music. They wore light clothes and thin shirts, revealing snow-white shoulders and necks, frost-like arms, and feet wrapped in wreaths. They danced barefoot, and their dancing postures were fragrant and lively.

The table was full of food and wine, and all kinds of men sat there.Taking a closer look, the lobby is divided into two areas, the inner and outer areas. The outer area is mostly traffickers and pawns, looking at the high platform from a distance, drinking and enjoying themselves; every table in the inner area is accompanied by women, laughing and flirting with the guests.

"Hey, how are you two young masters, you are new to me, is this your first time here?" A bustard with heavy make-up greeted her from the door.

She looked at the two people in front of her, with joy in her eyes.

Both of them are young and handsome, with a slender figure, the man in the moon white gown has a slight smile on his face, his hair is partly bunched up and partly scattered, and his phoenix eyes are wavelengths, and he is romantic; the other is wearing a dark blue gown, with a silver belt around his waist , black hair tightly tied, deep facial features, dark eyes, with a faint restraint under the silence, it looks like he seldom came to the place of fireworks before, this time he should be brought by friends around him.

The bustard saw countless men, and couldn't help but stare at their faces a few more times.

At this moment, Xuan Qi lowered his eyes slightly, secretly glanced at his clothes, and then at Shen Yao's lapel.He instinctively felt that he didn't like this kind of noise and intoxication, so he automatically blocked the sound of teasing and the fragrance of makeup in the building, and his mind wandered elsewhere.

After leaving Liu Zhao's house in the evening, Shen Yao took him to a tailor shop in the town to buy clothes for him to change into, saying that it was for the investigation plan at night, but he didn't mention anything about the investigation plan.

In the process of buying clothes, Shen Yao asked him to try several styles and colors. He actually wanted to say that black clothes are the most convenient to move around, but in order to cooperate with Shen Yao in investigating the case, he had to try one by one.Shen Yao finally helped him buy two sets of clothes, a light blue wide-sleeved gown, and a dark blue tunic that he was wearing now.He couldn't help asking Shen Yao if there were two occasions where he needed to change clothes to check, but Shen Yao smiled and didn't answer, but the proprietress of the clothing store praised Shen Yao for his good eyesight.

Xuan Qi couldn't figure it out, he was just changing clothes as ordered to investigate the case, it didn't matter what he wore, why every time he changed his clothes and came out, he could always see Mr. Shen's expectant eyes, and when he saw himself wearing those two clothes When she was wearing a dress, the look in her eyes was so obvious.

The current dress was what Shen Yao asked him to wear tonight. When he left the store, Xuan Qi always felt that the smile the proprietress showed to them was a little mysterious.I didn't think much about it before, but after taking a second look just now, he suddenly found that the color of his clothes and girdle was the same as the color of Shen Yao's skirt and cuffs, and the color of his skirt was the same as the color of Shen Yao's clothes. Close, almost like... a pair.

Thinking of this, Xuan Qi quickly made a cross in his heart to get rid of this weird thought.

At this time, Shen Yao replied to the bustard, "Well, I've heard that Lexian Tower makes people linger and forget to return. My friend and I came here to see it."

"Then son, you are right, there are many beautiful wine and beauties in Lexianlou!" The madam waved a handkerchief full of fragrance of makeup, and said with a smile, "Do you want to watch the performance outside first, or go directly to the room?" girl?"

"Oh, such a beautiful dance, it's a pity not to watch it," Shen Yao twitched his lips, and he glanced sideways at Xuan Qi, and found that Xuan Qi's gaze was slightly lowered, as if he was not interested in the scenery inside the building. Hitting Xuan Qi with his elbow, the man looked at him with questioning eyes, Shen Yao gave him a slight glance, and asked the madam, "This hall is really too noisy, is there a private seat in the building? Arrange one for us."

"Yes, yes, it's on the second floor," the madam said in a hurry, and ordered a turtle slave beside her, "Ah Hui, take the two young masters to the private room upstairs—"

The private seats on the second floor are small tables leaning on the railings separated by screens, and the lower part is directly facing the high stage of the performance, with a good view.

After the two sat down, someone brought drinks and side dishes, and soon two charming women came to accompany them.Shen Yao didn't refuse, and Xuan Qi didn't say anything more. Seeing such a handsome young man, the two women secretly rejoiced in their hearts, and sat down next to each other.

The woman next to Xuan Qi called herself Zizhu, and she clung to Xuan Qi as soon as she sat down, and put her slender arms on his chest, Xuan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing her instinct of waving and striking, and sat stiff on the spot .

Zizhu felt the harshness of his breath, she paused, but saw that he was just sitting upright, the backs of his ears were slightly red, so she chuckled, put her arms around his waist, and blew lightly into his ears, Mei Sheng said, "Isn't your son shy?"

Xuan Qi couldn't help but move to the side, he looked at Shen Yao, and saw the woman beside him throwing herself into her arms in the same way, Shen Yao was sitting very relaxed, with one hand loosely holding the woman's waist, but he didn't look at him The woman looked at herself with interest, with a smile in her eyes.Xuan Qi had never experienced Fengyue Field like this, and he wanted to rely on his previous mission experience to at least be calm and able to cope with changes, but at this moment, he felt that his cheeks were getting hot uncontrollably.

Zi Zhu picked up the jug and was about to help Xuan Qi pour the wine. At this moment, Shen Yao stretched out his hand, clamped the wine glass in front of Xuan Qi with two fingers, and said, "Hey, my friend is not feeling well today, and he is not suitable for drinking." Then, he turned the wine glass upside down and put it on the table.

The woman next to Shen Yao was named Yulan, she couldn't help but covered her mouth and laughed, and said, "Young master really cares about your friend, if he doesn't drink, you should drink a few more glasses." However, he helped Shen Yao pour a glass of wine.

Shen Yao picked up the wine glass, put it to his lips and sipped it, as if thinking of something, turned his head and asked the woman beside him, "What kind of wine is this? It smells so good."

Yulan said, "This wine is 'Zuiliuxia' brewed by Lexianlou. It is brewed from spring water in the mountains. It tastes sweet and mellow, and you can't drink it anywhere else." She poured herself a glass and held it up. Going in front of Shen Yao, he said, "My lord, let me have a drink with you." While speaking, she smiled lightly and exhaled like blue, so charming.

Shen Yao raised his eyebrows and smiled, clinked glasses with her casually, intertwined arms with her, raised his sleeve to cover his face with the other hand, and drank the wine very gracefully.

Seeing Shen Yao and Yulan exchange glasses, Xuan Qi blinked slightly, and looked down at the upside-down wine glass on the table.There was an inexplicable sourness in his heart, as if staying by Shen Yao's side, some never-before-seen feelings would gradually grow in his heart. These feelings were strange and strange, and they could directly touch his heart that had long been imprisoned in a copper wall. The vines are entangled, and they germinate automatically without feeling it. He can only hide them quietly.

At this time, Zi Zhuyu stretched out her hand, picked up a dish from the table, handed it to Xuan Qi, and said, "My lord, if you don't want to drink this wine, I will feed you some food."

Her body was completely leaning against Xuan Qi, and the softness and elasticity of the woman's body was transmitted through the fabric. Xuan Qi not only did not feel attracted, but the sourness he experienced before became a kind of boredom. He wanted to hide, but he didn't want to make too much noise. Movement and stillness brought trouble to Shen Yao.

Seeing Xuan Qimu's expressionless face and not opening his mouth, Zizhu said coquettishly, "Young master, if you don't open your mouth again, my hands will break from exhaustion."

"..." Xuan Qi looked at her and was hesitating, when suddenly Shen Yao's voice sounded, "Hey, my friend is naturally shy, please don't tease him like this." As he spoke, he took out two small coins from his bosom. Silver ingots were given to each of Zizhu and Yulan, and said, "Go down first, let us drink alone for a while."

"My lord, do you think the slave's service is not good?" Zizhu and Yulan said in unison, their voices were charming, obviously they didn't want to leave easily.

"You are very good," Shen Yao said, and then said the second half of the sentence with an emphatic tone, "Go down first after you get the reward."

Zizhu and Yuzhu suddenly felt an irrefutable pressure, which came from Shen Yao's slightly squinted phoenix eyes. This young man with a smile on his face suddenly showed irritability and anger in his eyes, which made people really puzzled. It was a very winking person, looked at each other, stood up with a tacit understanding, thanked the reward and turned to leave.

When the two went downstairs, Zizhu couldn't help but asked Yulan, "Hey, what happened just now?"

"I didn't know, you didn't see that when you were feeding that cold noodle boy, the person next to me kept looking at you, and suddenly seemed unhappy." Yulan covered her mouth and whispered.

"Hey, tell me, will the two of them...?" Zizhu said, and put her thumbs together.

"No way, otherwise why come to us." Yulan said.

"Well, never mind, as long as there is a reward." Zizhu threw the silver in her hand into the air, then caught it and stuffed it into her bosom.

Yulan also collected the money, and the two walked towards the new table of guests.

Only Shen Yao and Xuan Qi were left in the private seat.

Xuan Qi clenched his hands under the table quietly, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Shen, I'm sorry, please help Xuan Qi out."

"Why are you apologizing?" Shen Yao suddenly asked back, all the annoyance in his eyes disappeared, and he seemed to be in a good mood now.

"Investigation..." Xuan Qi was very worried that his performance would destroy Shen Yao's investigation plan.

"I've already asked for clues." Shen Yao said, seeing Xuan Qi's confused face, he reached out to pick up the jug on the table, poured wine into the cup he was using just now, put it under his nose, shook his head and smelled it , "The clue is in the wine."

Xuan Qi waited for Shen Yao to put down the wine glass, reached out to take it, first smelled it, and then put it to his lips, Shen Yao hurriedly stopped it, but Xuan Qi didn't drink it, but just sipped the glass, his eyes froze , said, "There is medicine in this wine, but it's not a fatal medicine."

"That's right," Shen Yao said, his eyes moved from Xuan Qi's lips to the rim of the cup, his heart skipped a beat, he swallowed, and continued, "The amount is very slight, but you can still detect it when you carefully discern."

Xuan Qi suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "That cup you drank just now!?"

"It's okay, I poured it into the neckline." Shen Yao turned over the front of his clothes to show Xuan Qi, the inner clothes were soaked in wine stains, "It's just a trick on the wine table." Shen Yao covered his face with his hands to drink Move, see Xuan Qi's expression on Matsushita.

However, the two of them didn't notice that among the servants on the second floor who came and went to serve food, one of them looked at them from time to time through the gap in the screen, and at this time he ran downstairs.

"What's going on?" Xuan Qi asked.

"Pay attention to that group of people, especially those who just came in after sitting down for a while." Shen Yao's phoenix eyes flashed, and he motioned Xuan Qi to look downstairs.
