The king is not the king, the minister is not the minister

The sound of silk and bamboo is full of charming words; the fragrance of clothes and shadows on the temples make people look bright.

Wanying Pavilion has always been called "a place of elegance" rather than a place of dust. Naturally, there is a reason for it. When he was having dinner, he said "explore Wanying Pavilion" just to bring him to meet the boss here. .

Patting Su Shixue on the shoulder, Yu Zhuo said, "Go and practice with that young master in the corner."

Although he didn't know what his intention was, Xia Houzhan didn't stop him. Instead, he found a quiet place to observe secretly.

As soon as Su Shixue made a move, the young man raised his glass in front of him, splashing water all over his body, making it impossible for anyone to dodge. He followed up with small moves, which were so fast that it was dizzying, almost relying on intuition.

The young master stood up with ease and said: "Commander Su, accept."

At this time, Su Shixue's face was so easy that even he couldn't see it, but unexpectedly, Qi Ruo saw through it.

Yu Zhuo smiled faintly, walked up to him, and said, "Brother Qi, don't come here unharmed. Commander Su, let me introduce you to this young master named Qi Ruo, who is also the big owner of the Wanying Pavilion."

"Lord Zuo Xiang, what's the point of asking someone to challenge me, you do it yourself." Qi Ruo spread out her palms, as if fully inviting.

I took a little look at this person, he was dressed in brocade clothes, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was younger, so he was quite pleasing.Xia Houzhan stepped forward and asked, "Is this young master Hengqing's old friend?"

"This—" After recognizing the person coming, Qi Ruo immediately stood upright and said, "It's not suitable to talk about things here, why don't you three go to the attic?"

"Lead the way."

Yu Zhuo's disguise technique was originally learned from Qi Ruo, so it's not shameful to be recognized by him.As for the competition, Yu Zhuo really didn't want to.It's really that this person is too rascal, and he can't beat him, but he makes a lot of tricks and excuses.

However, Xia Houzhan talked with him very happily, so Yu Zhuo added in his heart: Talk to people when you see people, talk to ghosts when you see ghosts.

After hearing that Xia Houzhan established Zhili as his subordinate, Qi Ruo kept winking at Yu Zhuo.

Seeing that he was unwilling, Xia Houzhan would naturally not force others to do anything difficult.Seeing this, Yu Zhuo suggested that the four of them go to investigate the case together, and they should do it as a favor to their friends.

"Lord Zuo Xiang, how do I know a friend like you." Qi Ruo sighed as if worried about his future.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go." Yu Zhuo said with a smile, "Your Majesty, he agreed."

Qi Ruo is also interesting, it is clear that he was looking for an official position for him before, and now he has to shirk it again, now he is afraid that the emperor's patience will be limited, so he directly "does not force others to be difficult".

"Hey, don't talk nonsense!" Qi Ruo retorted, eyes widening angrily.

Xia Houzhan will not trust others easily, and it is still unknown whether Qiruo will fall into his eyes.Then, Qi Ruo led them downstairs to a room specially used for disguise, and after making the four of them look inconspicuous, they went out.

The laws of the Jing Dynasty clearly stipulated that officials of this dynasty were not allowed to have sex with prostitutes. Therefore, after the four of them entered the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, if they met acquaintances, they could all be dismissed directly.

The night is getting cooler and the candles are flickering.

Before coming here, Yu Zhuo also looked through files of missing persons, big and small, a few years ago. He had a good memory, and he remembered all the portraits and names he saw on the files, but he visited three houses in succession, but he didn’t see any of them. There are people with similar faces.

"Plastic and powdery, plus they've aged so long, they're bound to be unrecognizable. What's more, more and more children from Beijing are sold to other places," Qi Ruo said.

Yu Zhuo nodded, glanced around, and suddenly saw a middle-aged man coming down from the second floor, and said with a smile, "Look, isn't that Master Liu?"

Mr. Liu of Honglu Temple, what a coincidence.

"I only know that he is an upright man and treats his wife with courtesy, but unexpectedly..." Xia Houzhan suddenly felt a headache.The makeup and powder are full of air, which always makes him want to sneeze.

There was a person beside him, at first he thought it was a servant, but after a closer look, he found that it was his subordinate.

Knowing people, knowing the face but not knowing the heart, now Yu Zhuo and his party will not expose him at this time.

"Oh, my lords, why don't you have anyone you care to accompany you?" The madam saw the four people in the corner, and quickly called two beautiful women to accompany her. One was Ziyuan, the other It's called a drunken butterfly.

The smile on Yu Zhuo's face suddenly froze, and he glanced at Xia Houzhan. If he made it public in front of the emperor... would he be dismissed?

Qi Ruo didn't have this kind of distress, anyway, he hasn't "been an official yet".

"Two sisters, my younger brother came here the first time, so I don't know the difference between this place and the restaurant outside." Speaking of Qi Ruo, who is under the age of weak crown, asking this question will not make people suspicious.

"Young master, let my sister tell you." Ziyuan picked up the wine glass and leaned in front of him, "The difference is that the waiter in the restaurant is too stupid to greet guests, but here, the sisters will serve you well."

Yu Zhuo glanced at the two men who looked sombre and didn't look at each other, and said to Zi Yuan: "My brother is young and doesn't understand these things, two sisters, please chat with me."

Xia Houzhan put away the wine glass in front of Yu Zhuo without comprehension.

"This son is so handsome!" Zui Die wanted to squeeze her whole body into Yu Zhuo's arms, making the latter very distressed.In fact, after changing his appearance, his appearance was mediocre, not handsome at all.

"Is my sister from the capital?"

Hearing this, an inexplicable light flashed in Drunken Butterfly's eyes, she quickly calmed down, and said with a smile: "Of course I'm not from the capital, how can my sister be so lucky."

"Look at how beautiful my sister was born, she looks like a person from the south of the Yangtze River."

"Young Master is smart, Drunken Butterfly is from Yangzhou."

Xia Houzhan became more and more impatient to watch their frowning, Yu Zhuo was obviously older than this woman, and she had a big sister, so she was not ashamed.

"It's getting late." He reminded coldly.

The drunken butterfly was startled by the sudden voice, and continued to rub against Yu Zhuo's arms. The latter forced a smile and said to her: "My brother doesn't understand style, so ignore him."

Xia Houzhan: "..."

Ziyuan winked at the two who couldn't get into the atmosphere, and asked coquettishly, "Did the two of us neglect these two elder brothers? I'll go and call the two sisters over."

"No need." Yu Zhuo took out the few taels of silver in his purse, put it on the table, and asked, "Could it be that most of the women in this 'Lanchun Garden' are not from the capital?"

Seeing Yinzi, Drunkie sped up her speech and said: "Half of the sisters are from Yangzhou, and the rest of Drunkie don't know, and there are really not many people from the capital."

"How old was sister when you came to the capital?" Yu Zhuo's eyes were like a pool of spring water, and he could tell the truth unconsciously.

Drunk Butterfly said: "Young Master, Drunken Butterfly entered Beijing at the age of ten."

In terms of time, it is similar to the person who disappeared recently.Yu Zhuo immediately figured out a possibility that these children were trafficked between the two places. After being trafficked, they were unfamiliar with the place where they were born, so they had no chance to resist.

"Sister Drunken Butterfly, these two friends are here, so I won't stay any longer tonight." After Yu Zhuo finished speaking, she motioned for Qi Ruo to take it, and was about to leave.

"My lord, I haven't even had a glass of wine yet—" Drunken Butterfly wanted to pour wine for him, but he didn't even have the wine and the glass in front of him, and Xia Houzhan drank it all in silence.

As soon as he came out of this alley, Yu Zhuo looked at Xia Houzhan's gloomy face, and thought to himself that he had "died in the line of duty" for the public, so he didn't need to look like he had a deep hatred.

Noticing Yu Zhuo's gaze, Xia Houzhan immediately said, "Don't come to this kind of place again in the future."

"minister……"

Hearing a slight sound suddenly, Yu Zhuo's expression was serious, and he lowered his voice and said: "Someone is following us, and his qinggong is good. He smells it, and he is from Lanchunyuan."

Before, the nose was full of makeup and powder, but fortunately, it was blown away by the wind, otherwise he would not be able to tell the difference.

Su Shixue put her hands on her waist, Yu Zhuo glanced at Qiruo, and said, "Why don't we go to an inn first, change our makeup, and follow her instead?"

Xia Houzhan nodded slightly, and quickly found an inn, but in a hurry, he could only ask for two rooms, and took turns looking for Qi Ruo to change his appearance.Leave the silver and hide it.

The lights in the room were blown out, and the follower thought they had rested, sneaked into the room, but found no one there.

This woman was three points similar to Drunken Butterfly, and Yu Zhuo and Xia Houzhan who were hiding in the closet almost recognized her as Drunken Butterfly.After all, Yu Zhuo had been in contact with Drunken Butterfly, and knew that she didn't have the slightest inner strength, and she didn't know martial arts in terms of breath.

"Boom!" The closet made a sound for some reason.
