How to work

Qingshi Lane, lingering rain, small wine shop, beautiful red makeup.

Lu Li never expected that it was a woman who invited him to meet.

The woman has pear face, passionate eyes, slender waist and long legs, and her body looks like a beauty vase.She wears a lake-blue soft gauze dress, a snow-blue sleeveless pipa-breasted jacket, and an ermine cape. The snow-white fluffy fur collar sets off the snow-skinned face, making her look even more beautiful.

She dressed as elegantly as possible, but she still exuded a seductive look. People could see her profession after a few more glances. The only thing that couldn't be seen clearly was her age.

Her skin is fair and smooth, but there is no girlish innocence in her eyes. If you say that you are not worthy of her temperament at the age of 20, and you feel that you should not be in this state at the age of 40, it can be seen that God loves her very much.

Lu Li greeted a gentleman, "I'm next to Lu Li, I don't know if the girl invited me—"

The corners of the woman's lips were slightly raised, and her smile was bright, "At my age, it's a great honor to be called a girl by the young master. But I don't know how to behave when the young master gives me a face. My name is Yao Niang, and I am the mother of the drunk red building. Nen, just call me Boss Yao."

Lu Li is as good as others, "Boss Yao."

It turned out to be the "ugly monster" in the mouth of the old bustard in Yicuilou.

Yao Niang glanced past Zhao Zhu beside Lu Li, and she pointed her left hand, "You two, please sit down."

There was a charcoal stove in the private seat, and the air-conditioning was dissipated, and Lu Li let out a long and comfortable breath.

This is a small wine shop in an alley, there are no customers on rainy nights, and they are the only ones in the private seats separated by green curtains.The Xuan window is half open, the light is reflected by the lingering drizzle, rustling in the surrounding fields, the breath is fresh, and it makes people feel very good.

Several people were seated, and the waiter in green clothes and black hat quickly served the wine and dishes. The wine was warm, and the dishes were home-cooked dishes, everything was warm.

Yao Niang held the pot and poured the wine, her fingers were like green onions, her movements were graceful.

"Master Zhi is surprised, and I don't pretend to be a fool. In the past two years, many girls have been killed, and the drunken red building has suffered the most. I worry all day and night, and work hard all the time, but there is still no good result. This time, the master caught the murderer and relieved my great worries. The heartfelt gratitude to the young master seems to flow like water, so let's do it first to respect!" Yao Niangsu held the cup in her hand, and she drank the wine in the cup with a lift of her chin, which was quite refreshing.

Lu Li was a little dazed, wondering if he should drink this glass of wine, don't drink it, it's not good, drink it...he's afraid of getting drunk!

Especially when he sniffed it secretly just now, the wine is a bit harsh and choking, he instinctively doesn't like it.

Just as he was hesitating, his hand was empty, Zhao Zhu snatched his wine glass away, "Lu Li is young, he is not good at drinking." He drank the wine with his neck up, the meaning was obvious, I replaced it for him.

Lu Li's eyes widened. Although he hesitated, he was also very curious about wine and wanted to try it. You must know that he never had a chance to drink before!

Yao Niang didn't care, and raised her glass again, "I thank you, Young Master, it's my heart, I don't feel sorry for disrespecting a few glasses of wine, young master is not good at drinking, you can replace it with tea, Yao Niang will thank you again!"

After drinking three cups in a row, she let out a long breath, "Master, with one move, I have saved many girls, and they dared not go forward, so I came here for them, our status is not good, and I hope I didn't scare you. "

Lu Li hurriedly smiled and waved his hands, "Where, the villains can be punished by everyone, and I'm just doing what I think is right, and I never thought of being thanked by others."

"You don't need it, but we can't pretend we didn't see it." Yao Niang had pink cheeks after drinking, her color was better, and her speech was sharper. "It's just to say thank you, but there is no suitable gift. Dirty silver, buying any gift is considered blasphemy, but fortunately, my business in this Zuihonglou is quite big, no matter where you go, you can’t solve any troubles in the right way, but just go to my Zuihonglou for orders.”

The corners of her eyes were rosy, and her voice was silky, "My lord is still young, and it's hard to say some dirty things to dirty your eyes, but you just need to remember, although we are lowly like prostitutes, there are many things that others can't do." , we did it.”

"Boss Yao is very righteous," Lu Li smiled and agreed, "Thank you, Lu Li."

"It doesn't matter if the young master really agrees or is perfunctory, there is only one chance to control, young master, just remember it." Yao Niang explained her intention in the future, and then began to chat with Lu Li, "I only heard from the people below that the young master caught the murderer and sent him to the prison. , the evidence is solid, but I don’t know how the young master solved the case, if it’s okay, can you tell me about it and let me listen to it?”

There is nothing to say about this, the rain outside is getting heavier, and the atmosphere of warming wine and dishes here is harmonious, Lu Liquan should relax, so he chatted with Yao Niang, "That's what happened..."

At first Yao Niang toasted three glasses of wine in a row, and then occasionally, Lu Li didn't drink a cup, Zhao Zhu only drank the first cup for him, and then he didn't move. Seeing Lu Li and Yao Niang having a good conversation, he couldn't bear it. I can't help picking up the wine glass and drinking it by myself.

He had the hidden guards investigate the Zuihonglou, and Yao Niang, the bustard, of course also investigated. This woman is quite shrewd, but she has nothing to do with their interests. Wink - hum!

When Lu Li talked about the murderer's crime process, Yao Niang's eyes were cold, "Is it so..."

"Yeah, speaking of it, I have to thank this little brother..." He pointed to the young man who had been standing behind Yao Niang when he entered the door, "He sent a very important message."

"He..." Yao Niang smiled, "I don't know where he came from, and he didn't say his name. Because he likes to wear black clothes, we call him Xiao Hei. He lost a sister in his early years, and he found me after a lot of hard work. The news of my sister was cut off, but his sister was involved in my drunken red building, and there will be a day when she will be found, so he refused to leave, and took root outside my building, waiting for his sister."

"This kid is straight-minded and has an awkward personality, but his heart is extremely kind. I heard him say that he had offended the young master before, so I apologize to the young master here. I hope the young master doesn't mind." Yao Niang called out a little Hei, "Come here and offer Mr. Lu a glass of wine."

Only when Xiao Hei stepped forward did Lu Li see him clearly.This person is not very old, his brows are full of youthfulness, although it seems scary to show murderous intent on purpose, but he is still just a boy.The boy's eyebrows and eyes are extremely clear, if he has an older sister, she must also be beautiful.

"I'm sorry." Xiao Hei poured a glass of wine for Lu Li, and drank his own glass, "Thank you." The words were very concise, but the expression was very solemn.

Lu Li picked up the cup and took a sip, "Nice to meet you."

Thinking about the many places he would go to in the future, he asked casually, "What's your sister's name?"

Xiao Hei was taken aback.

"Oh, I mean, if there is a chance to meet, maybe I can send you a message."

Lu Li had a friendly attitude, and Xiao Hei was not defensive, "Yuyao. My sister's name is Yuyao, from Junzhou."

This kid is really honest, and he is not afraid that he is not a good person.Lu Li sighed, and talked about the food and drink with Yao Niang again, Xiao Hei silently retreated to the side, his figure was hidden in the corner, like a stone statue, as if he had never been far away from the beginning to the end.

Lu Li stopped talking about the case, as if he had nothing to talk about, but Yao Niang was still a little worried, "I heard that Mr. Tui Guan and Mr. Wu Zuo have tripped you up?"

"You know?" Lu Li was a little surprised.

"The business in my building is doing well. I may not know about small things in the market, but there is nothing I don't know about the big things in Chengdu." Yao Niang spoke loudly, but her expression was not complacent, "Young master, you should be more careful. That one is not easy to get along with."

"Boss Yao knows you well?" Lu Li was even more surprised.

"This Chengdu mansion has been rotten from root to top. Corruption is rife, and officials protect each other. If you go along with them, it's fine. If you do the opposite, they will join hands to suppress it. If you resist, you will see blood." "The corners of Yao Niang's cherry-colored lips raised slightly, seeming to be mocking, but also worried.

During the dinner, Zhao Zhu didn't say a word, but his aura was always full. When Yao Niang reminded Lu Li that there might be a bloody disaster, his face sank like water, his slender eyes were dark and dark, and he held Lu Li's hand under the table very tightly.

Knowing that he was worried, Lu Li patted his hand to comfort him, smiled and looked at Yao Niang, "Thank you for reminding me, I will deal with it carefully."

"It's good that you have a sense of proportion." Xu Shi noticed the movement under the table, Yao Niang's peachy eyes flashed slightly, and she turned her gaze out of the window, with a hint of nostalgia in her voice, "Chengdu Mansion has not always been like this. More than ten years ago, here Vibrant and full of blood..."

"Oh?" Lu Li was a little curious. According to history books, Daxia experienced a bitter battle with its neighbors more than ten years ago. ?”

"At that time, the Xixia Daliao invaded the territory. King Lao Ping took the lead in fighting on the battlefield, and all the troops of the country were transferred to the north. It was a critical moment. The Tubo Zhequ tribe took advantage of the vacancy and gathered all the tribes to invade our western territory. The road to Shu was difficult. They initially The target was Xingyuan Mansion, and there were troops stationed on Lizhou Road. They failed to attack, so they turned to attack Shu. At that time, there was a vacancy in the governor of Shu, and the secretary in charge was a young literati with no soldiers in his hands. He was still looking for him to play at that time. His best friend offered advice, attacked the enemy camp at night, burned the enemy's food and grass, lured the enemy into the deep mountains to divide and annihilate them, and finally defeated the enemy in Furong City. , dare to raise a hoe to protect the family..."

Yao Niang closed her eyes slightly, hiding the emotions in her eyes, "Red crisp hands, recruiting drums, longbows and arrows, straight to the enemy's head... That night the fire burned the city wall like day, at the moment of victory, everyone I was excited, but couldn't help but burst into tears. The hot-blooded Chengdu Mansion, after just over ten years, has become like a pool of stagnant water, full of filth..."

Lu Li heard a good story from Yao Niang, and as she told it, there seemed to be a picture flashing in front of his eyes. If this is true, the comparison between before and after is really heartbreaking.But wait—did he just hear a name?

Red Crisp Hands!His fucking nickname!But this Hongsu Shou and his mother Miao Hongxiao are alone?

Lu Li lowered his heart and became excited, "May I ask Boss Yao, is this Hongsu hand alone?"

"You've heard of it too?" Yao Niang looked relieved, "It seems that history will never be forgotten."

Lu Li's voice was a little rough, "Is her surname Miao?"

"Yes, her name is Miao Hongxiao, we girls are not worthy of mentioning her name, her character, her skill, men all over the world admire her!" Yao Niang's voice was a little excited.

"What... did she do?"

Yao Niang sighed, "She is the bright moon in the sky, how can someone like me get close? If it wasn't for that fierce battle, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet her."

That means, that's probably all she knows.

Lu Li did not give up, "Have you heard any rumors?"

"That's too much. Mrs. Miao has a beautiful face and a smile that is unforgettable. Some people say that she comes from the world, and her teacher is from the heavenly family. Some people say that she is a princess, and she comes from the world with nobility. But let me tell you, she He has a wonderful husband."

"Husband?"

Yao Niang nodded, "Her husband dotes on her very much. No matter what she does, she will let her go without restraint. It's just that she will be jealous when she gets closer to other men. Her husband was a good friend who was in charge of the secretary at that time. The green clothes are elegant, the gentleman is born in the dust, the appearance is extremely handsome, and the eyes seem to be able to see through everything in the world. In terms of wisdom, no one can match."

Lu Li asked again, Yao Niang's rumors were even more exaggerated, and Lu Suo knew that she didn't know more, "What's the name of the secretary in charge, and what happened to him afterwards?"

"His name is Bai Mingtao, and of course he was promoted and transferred away. Now—" Yao Niang thought carefully, "It seems to be the Governor of Xingyuan or the Governor of Jingzhao. If there are more, I don't know."

enough.

Lu Li clenched his fists tightly, he didn't know that his parents were so outstanding, they had done such great things in Chengdu Mansion.

Has the land under his feet ever been defended by his parents to the death...

After that, Lu Li was no longer in the mood to chat and enjoy the scenery. Yao Niang, who had been running a brothel for many years, had the best eyesight and left quickly.

After watching the drizzle outside for a while, Lu Li turned his head to look at Zhao Zhu with a downcast expression, "Miao Hong smiled...it was my mother."

Zhao Zhu held his hand, "I know."

"She died for no apparent reason...but I don't even know where her bones are."

The deep sadness could almost overflow from the clear eyes, and Zhao Zhu's breathing sank.He embraced Lu Li lightly, patted him on the back stiffly and clumsily, "I'll help you find it."

Lu Li was quiet for a while, then pushed him away, "I must find my parents!" After speaking, he felt that his momentum was not enough, he picked up the wine on the table and drank it down.

The wine entered his throat, like a thread of fire, burning his heart and lungs, and Lu Li couldn't help coughing out the bitterness in his mouth.

Xu was frustrated too much today, Xu heard about his parents' past, Xu was coughing too much because of the strong wine, Lu Li's eyes were wet and the water vapor condensed, and the corners of his eyes were also red.

He raised his hand and wiped his eyes vigorously, and said forcefully, "This wine is not good!"

"Yes, this wine is not good. I'll find something better for you some other day." Zhao Zhu pulled him into his arms, "Let's go?"

The rain outside the window has gradually stopped, and the night is already deep.

Lu Li stood up, "Let's go."

Zhao Zhu didn't boast. Three days later, he knocked on the door and entered Lu Li's room with good wine and a surprise.

At that time, the moonlight was just right, the young man was smiling, and he was in a good mood. It was a good time to be honest about his identity.
