[Crossing the Book] The Villain Regent's Substitute Princess

Luo Qiuyi wandered the streets for a while, and felt that the streets near the Luo Mansion were similar to those near the Prince Regent's Mansion, and it was not interesting, so he caught a beggar and asked: "Old man, do you know where the most interesting place in the capital is? ?”

"The most interesting place? Hehe, you are asking the right person...but..." The old beggar stretched out his hand and bent his fingers.

Luo Qiuyi immediately understood that he was asking for money, so he gave him a bank note.

The old beggar smiled contentedly, and continued: "This is the most interesting place, you go this way..." The old beggar pointed in the direction with his finger, "Walk about a mile, and when you see a small alley Turn right and go in, then turn right at the second fork and go for a short distance, and you will be there.”

"Good. Thank you."

It sounds like a very secret place.

Luo Qiuyi found out after practicing it that it was indeed very secretive.

Walking into a big room, there are densely packed people, and judging from their luxurious attire, they seem to be dignitaries.

Luo Qiu couldn't help but find a young gentleman and asked softly, "What are you doing here?"

"Of course it's a good buy!" the young man replied.

"Oh……"

Luo Qiuyi understood that this place should be similar to a black market, that is, a place where some cultural relics, antiques, rare jewelry and even slave beauties are illegally sold.

It stands to reason that Luo Qiuyi is a family member of those in power, so he should boycott this kind of place.

However, he is a curious baby, since he is here, he also wants to have a taste of it.

"Today's auction has started!" As a fat middle-aged man stood in the middle and announced, today's transaction officially kicked off.

Originally, Luo Qiuyi just wanted to watch, and didn't want to buy anything.

But when he saw the man mysteriously holding a piece of blood jade, his eyes immediately shone. The so-called "a gentleman is like jade", and a gentleman like Luo Qiuyi likes jade very much.

And this blood-red and flawless jade is obviously an extremely rare treasure.

"The starting price is 200 taels of silver."

"I'll offer two hundred and five!" A bid was made immediately.

"Three hundred!" Luo Qiu was not to be outdone.

Before he returned to Luo's house, Chen Chonglin gave him a lot of bank notes, so he is not short of money now.

"Four hundred." The man raised the price considerably.

"Four hundred and two."

"1000 taels!" Seeing that Luo Qiuyi was fighting with him, the man simply increased the price sharply.

"..." Luo Qiuyi hesitated.

Although it's not that he can't spend more money, is it really worth spending so much money to buy a toy?Although Chen Chonglin was rich, he didn't spend it like this, did he?

Qianliang for the first time. 1000 taels for the second time..1000 taels for the third time! "

Just when Luo Qiuyi was hesitating, the blood jade had already been sold.

Luo Qiuyi had no choice but to embark on the way home sullenly.

"My lord," said Zhao Kou, who was following behind him, "Since you like this blood jade so much, I think it's better for me to go directly to him and snatch it from him."

"Bullshit."

Luo Qiuyi turned his head and glared at him.

"Now that I have surrendered to the imperial court, why do I still have the habit of being a bandit? Even if I really want to get this treasure, I have to use a more civilized method..." "How about this," Luo Qiuyi said again after thinking for a while , "Go and find out who that person is. I'll wait for you at the stall in front of me, eating noodles."

"Good son...but you won't encounter any danger alone, right?"

"This is the world ruled by Chonglin. Why is the law and order so bad?" Luo Qiu smiled proudly, "This is the downtown area of ​​the capital. Go, go, don't worry about it."

"Yes, my subordinates will go now."

Zhao Kou also learned to refer to himself as a "subordinate" after he became a bodyguard of the Prince Regent's Mansion, but sometimes he forgot.Luo Qiuyi wouldn't correct him at such a time, he just hoped that he would come whenever it was convenient for him.

Afterwards, Luo Qiuyi went to the stall and ordered two bowls of egg noodles, and waited for Zhao Kou while eating.

After a while, Zhao Kou came back, "Princess, my subordinates have found out. Shall we talk while walking?"

"What's the rush? You haven't had dinner yet. Look," Luo Qiuyi had already finished his egg noodles, but there was still a full bowl on the table that was untouched. "I ordered this bowl for you. It's a bit cold, why don't you ask the store to warm it up?"

"No need, I can eat anything." Zhao Kou was moved by Yu Luoqiu's thoughtfulness, so he picked up the noodles and started to eat.

"No hurry, eat slowly. Let's talk after eating."

"Let's talk now." Zhao Kou was a rude person and didn't care about talking about things, "Princess, the buyer is someone close to King Rui."

"King Rui? Is he Chong Lin's cousin?" Luo Qiuyi had heard a little about this man.

It turned out to be a prince.Although he has no power in his hands, the prince's salary is very high, no wonder he is not short of money.Fortunately, I didn't confront him head-on to see who has more money.

"Exactly." Zhao Kou nodded, "I heard that this person is very romantic, and he often spends a lot of money for the beauties around him...I don't know which beauties he wants to laugh at this time."

"...In other words, he is not really a person who understands jade?"

Originally, the other party's bid was indeed higher than his own. If he was a literati, Luo Qiu would be willing to bear the pain and give up.However, letting such a rare blood jade fall into the hands of someone who doesn't understand it, Luo Qiuyi felt a little reckless.

Only then did he remember that there was a man in brocade clothes waving a folding fan sitting next to the bidder just now, who should be King Rui.King Rui is handsome, but his good looks are used to attract beauties, it's not a holiday but wandering around, it's a bit of a sham.

After thinking about it, Luo Qiu felt that he didn't like this person very much, so he just wanted to grab him.

"Then, apart from liking beauties, does King Rui have any other characteristics?"

"He still seems to like worshiping Buddha, and he often goes to the temple to offer incense with his mother and concubine."

"That is to say, he is very superstitious..." Luo Qiuyi looked forward thoughtfully, just in time to see a man dressed as a magician holding a fortune-telling sign asking for business. flash.

After making up his mind, Luo Qiuyi called the warlock over, gave him some money, and gave him some instructions.

So, the sorcerer ran to Rui Wang Chen Linshu and stopped him, "Young Master, stop! Let Pindao help you figure out a hexagram?"

"Go away." Chen Linshu waved his hands impatiently, and kept walking forward, "I don't believe that."

The sorcerer followed persistently, and said a word: "Is the young master His Royal Highness King Rui?"

"How do you know?" Chen Linshu was startled, and then stopped.

"This is calculated by the poor!" Warlock had a somewhat smug smile on his face.

"...Ah." Chen Linshu sneered, "Although I'm in a modest suit, I'm still a famous person in the capital. What's so strange about you recognizing me?"

"My lord, did you invite something new on your body today?" The sorcerer said mysteriously, "Your lord invited a calamity, you have to deliver it!"

"...How do you know I got something new? Are you following me?" Chen Linshu's face became even more unkind when he heard this.

"My lord, why don't you believe that this is all calculated by the poor? If the lord refuses to give up love at this moment, I'm afraid there will be bloodshed!"

Send nonsense.Stop following me. "Chen Linshu gave the warlock a push and walked away quickly.

The magician returned to Luo Qiuyi's side and reported the conversation to him.

"Does he still not believe it..." Luo Qiuyi was silent for a moment, then pursed his lips and smiled, looking at Zhao Kou, "Brother Zhao, can you do me a favor? Chen Linshu should You will pass through a secluded alley, and you gather a few former brothers to pretend to rob..." "Ha, what's the problem? Leave it to me!" Zhao Kou patted his chest and promised, "It's about the ability to rob , we call ourselves number two, no one dares to call number one Luo Qiu said with a smile: "But this time it's just for show, I think the two guards next to him should be good at martial arts, you have to be careful, don't get hurt. "

"Don't worry."

Then, Zhao Kou took a few brothers to cover their faces, and jumped from the eaves to Chen Linshu to rob him: "I planted this tree, and I drove this road! If you want to cross this road, leave the money for the road!"

"You drove this road? This is the capital." Chen Linshu sneered, "You dare to rob at the feet of the emperor, you are so brave!...Come on, arrest them!"

Following Chen Linshu's wave of his hand and an order to his subordinates, the two guards fought with the five or six brothers brought by Zhao Kou.

Chen Linshu was shocked to find that these little thieves were not bad at all, and there were so many of them. The current situation was really not good for his side.Fortunately, the two guards were elite, and they gradually gained the upper hand in the end.

"Brothers, retreat!" Zhao Kou's intention was not to rob, so he ordered his brothers to retreat in time.

Chen Linshu breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you all okay?"

"Report to the lord, the subordinates are fine." The two guards replied.

"My lord!" At this time, the sorcerer ran over in a panic again, "Have you encountered any disaster? What kind of disaster did you invite?"

"..." Now, Chen Linshu couldn't help but not believe it.The shape and name of the blood jade are really reminiscent of the bloody disaster.He took the bloody jade out of his arms, "Is this what you're talking about?"

"Exactly!" The warlock nodded heavily, "This blood jade does not match your horoscope, if you still refuse to give it up, there will be a bloody disaster!"

"Do I have to give up this blood jade? Is there any other way to crack it?"

"The lord needs to find a talented and beautiful woman, and put the blood jade under her pillow for three days to crack it. This woman needs to be born in a cloudy year."

"People are born in cloudy years..." Chen Linshu pondered for a moment, "By the way, I remember that the oiran of Qunfang Pavilion was born at this time. I will go to Qunfang Pavilion now."

When Luo Qiuyi was told the conversation by the sorcerer, he couldn't help but spit out something in his heart: This name sounds like a brothel... Do you want to go to that kind of place again?

Those princes like brothels?

However, with Chen Linshu's flirtatious habits, it is actually easy to understand that he is a frequent visitor to brothels.

"Let's go, let's also go to Qunfang Pavilion."

After Luo Qiuyi said something to Zhao Kou, he was about to take a step forward.

"Qiu Yi!" Suddenly a familiar voice stopped him.

"Chonglin?!" After realizing the owner of the voice, Luo Qiuyi was startled, "Why are you here?"

Chen Chonglin smiled and said: "You and I are really destined to meet each other on the street... What are you doing? Going to Qunfang Pavilion?"
