Chapter 83 Elopement

Duan Qiongyu hurried to Jinzhou the next day.Jinzhou and Changyang City are next to each other, but it usually takes two to three days. He can feel it so quickly because of the foot power of the fast horse.

The dark guards protecting Duan Qiongyu had already been left behind. The reason why he was so anxious was because he was afraid that something would happen that would cause irreparable consequences.

When he arrived in Jinzhou, he immediately went to the Jinzhou branch of Changyang Newspaper, and then took out the top token.Seeing the top token, everyone stood up and saluted him.

Duan Qiongyu stopped their compliments and greetings with a wave of his hand, "Don't be too polite. I came here today because I have something important to tell you."

Taking out Lian Hua's portrait from his bosom, Duan Qiongyu pointed to the painting and said to them: "As far as I know, she has already arrived at the border of Jinzhou. I want you to quickly find her and bring her here. Remember, Don't hurt her at all!"

"I know her. I found her and reported her to the headquarters." A thin young gentleman said.

"Good job. Where is she now?" Duan Qiongyu asked.

The little man scratched his scalp, showing a distressed expression, "I didn't follow them, and I don't know where they are now."

"Then do you know what that scholar looks like?"

"I know. But, I can't draw."

"Then you say, there must be someone here who can draw?"

A man in a green robe stood up, "I can draw a little bit."

Duan Qiongyu pointed at him and said, "Okay, you can draw, and he will tell."

According to the little man, the book was very delicate, with willow eyebrows and star eyes, a short nose bridge, and a small mole on his temple. He was about seven feet tall and wore a somewhat white scholar's robe.

Based on these, Duan Qiongyu preliminarily concludes that he is a scholar who is neither tall nor short, and his family background is relatively poor.

"Well, they probably live in the inn. Of course, there may be relatives and friends in Jinzhou. Let's find the inn first. Here is 100 taels of silver, and you didn't use it." Duan Qiongyu took out two An ingot of 50 taels of silver was placed on the table.

Seeing the 100 taels of silver, everyone's eyes lit up.Duan Qiongyu could tell from their clothes that their family background must be very average.

That's right, anyone with a good family background who would come to work in a newspaper office would have to take the imperial examination.What the newspaper office needs are people who can write and draw, and those who can be recruited need to make money to supplement their families.

The man in Tsing Yi quickly drew several portraits of the scholar and Lian Hua, and several people from the newspaper office set off.

Duan Qiongyu rode a horse all night and was so sleepy that he wanted to sleep, but just as his head was touching the pillow, he suddenly thought of a person——An Cheng, a wine and meat friend he met in Changyang City.

The reason why he didn't think of it immediately was mainly because it had been many years since he met him when he was a dandy.They met in the brothel, An Cheng fell in love with the woman who accompanied him, Duan Qiongyu gave in without hesitation.

A woman serving wine, no matter how beautiful, is just that.The main reason is that the bustard saw his identity, so he asked the oiran to serve him.He is not short of money, so it doesn't matter.

An Ben originally thought that he would have a fight with the noble son of the capital, but he didn't expect it to go smoothly.So out of strong curiosity, he came to drink with Duan Qiongyu.

With this drink, you drink out your feelings and friendship.He said that he is from Jinzhou, and he hit it off right away, and wanted to make friends with him.

Later, when An Cheng stayed in Changyang City, they had a good time drinking and having fun together, and went outing together.Duan Qiongyu also learned that An Cheng was very well-informed in Jinzhou and was a famous inquisitor.

When he was leaving, An Cheng asked him to go to Jinzhou to play, and he must find him. He wanted to treat him well as a landlord.

Thinking of this, Duan Qiongyu got up from the bed and asked someone how to get to Baihualou.Apparently, Baihualou is very famous in Jinju, so it came out as soon as I asked.

Looking at the Baihua Building in the middle of the street, it is no less magnificent than the Fenfang Building in the capital.It was in the afternoon at this time, and there were few people and no hostesses to welcome guests.

Duan Qiongyu pushed open the door, and the gatekeeper looked at him in surprise.

"My lord, Baihualou is not open yet." The gatekeeper was so humble that his waist almost bent to the ground.

"I'm looking for An Cheng."

As soon as he heard that he was looking for An Cheng, the gatekeeper immediately welcomed Duan Qiongyu to the lobby and sat down, and asked someone to make him a pot of good tea.

Not long after, Duan Qiongyu saw a big man with beard walking over.The man was very surprised when he saw Duan Qiongyu, and then greeted him with a hearty laugh.

"Brother, I didn't expect it to be you. I haven't seen you for so many years, my brother is even more handsome."

Duan Qiongyu smiled, and shook hands with An Cheng, "Brother An, long time no see. After all these years, you haven't come to the capital again?"

"Haha. Of course I've been there. The capital is so prosperous that I'd feel itchy if I don't go there for a year." An Cheng smiled boldly.

"Then why didn't Brother An come to play with my brother? Did you forget my brother?"

"Hey," An Cheng smiled embarrassedly, "Didn't I hear that my brother is studying hard, how can I come to disturb you? By the way, I heard that my brother has won a Jinshi, and now he is an official. Congratulations, brother." you."

Hearing An Cheng's explanation, Duan Qiongyu not only sighed in his heart, this is a person who is rough on the outside but sensitive on the inside.But it seems that he has no problem with not being in touch with him for so many years.

"Thank you, Brother An. In fact, I am here this time to ask for something. That's right, I want to ask Brother An to help me find someone." Duan Qiongyu took out Lian Hua's portrait, "Of course, Brother An doesn't have to follow me. Brother, you are welcome, whatever the price is outside, you can pay whatever price you want.”

An Cheng stared at Lian Hua's portrait, showing a lecherous and wretched smile, "Hey, she's still a little beauty, isn't she your old friend?"

Duan Qiongyu couldn't help but laugh at An Cheng's straightforwardness. He didn't get along with these people for a few years, and he was a little uncomfortable.An Cheng thought too much, he shook his head hastily.

Taking out the portrait of the scholar, Duan Qiongyu said: "This is the person who is with her. If you find one of them, you will be able to find the other. The key is such a woman. Help me find her, but don't hurt her."

An Cheng took a few more glances at Lianhua, then at the scholar and Duan Qiongyu, "Fortunately, it's not your old friend, otherwise she would be too blind. All right, I'll take this business. Don't say you're a real person , is a dead mouse, as long as he is in Jinzhou City, my brother can find it for you."

Duan Qiongyu bowed to An Cheng to thank him and presented him with 200 taels of silver.

An Cheng pushed away the bank note, and stared at Duan Qiongyu with big round eyes, "Slap me in the face? Do something for my brother, and even charge you money. If you want to spread the word, how can I, An Cheng, behave?"

Seeing that An Cheng was determined not to accept him, Duan Qiongyu was no longer polite, and offered tea instead of wine to respect him.

An Cheng refused to answer, "If you want to toast, use wine, it's not like you can't drink."

An Cheng handed over the portrait to someone and gave instructions.The man vowed to An Cheng that he would find him even if he dug three feet into the ground.

After finishing the matter, An Cheng took Duan Qiongyu to drink.The oiran of Baihualou was also called by him, and he bluntly said that he would repay his kindness.

Duan Qiongyu didn't refuse, and asked the oiran to pour wine for him.I don't know if this oiran is good at flirting, or because she knows his status is extraordinary, she keeps teasing and seducing him.

Duan Qiongyu pretends to be sweet when he can, and pushes away if he can't.The oiran couldn't help it either, after being rejected many times, he could only serve him honestly.

"My brother, after all these years, is he still so pure?" An Cheng looked at Duan Qiongyu teasingly.

Duan Qiongyu pushed the oiran towards An Cheng, "As a younger brother, of course you have to give the good to your elder brother."

An Cheng stopped teasing Duan Qiongyu later, and talked to him about the customs and customs of Jinzhou.Duan Qiongyu couldn't help yawning when he heard the back.

"I'm really sorry, I'm too sleepy after riding all night."

Hearing what Duan Qiongyu said, An Cheng slapped his thigh, "Why didn't you say it earlier? Here, brother, why do you need to be polite? If you want to sleep, just say it. We have plenty of time to drink."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but pull Duan Qiongyu up and walked to the wing.Duan Qiongyu really felt a little embarrassed, but his eyelids were fighting, and he became more dizzy after drinking.

An Cheng put Duan Qiongyu on the bed, let him rest at ease, and he will notify him as soon as there is any news.After hearing Duan Qiongyu's thank you again, he couldn't help but slap him.

Feeling the weight like a mosquito fan, Duan Qiongyu felt a burst of warmth in his heart, and secretly decided that this friend should not break contact with him in the future.

As expected of An Cheng's inquisition, his subordinates didn't know how much eyeliner he had. Duan Qiongyu was woken up before he had gotten enough sleep.It turned out that Lian Hua had indeed eloped with the scholar and lived in the inn.

Duan Qiongyu rushed to the inn and heaved a sigh of relief when he learned that they lived in two rooms.He sneaked into the scholar's room, trying to find out his household registration.

Only when he fully understands the identity of the scholar can he decide how to act.Looking at it now, this scholar is still an upright and good gentleman.Although he abducted a woman to elope, at least he didn't take advantage of the opportunity.

But soon, he felt that he was too kind.

He was rummaging through the scholar's bookcase when he heard the door open.Seeing that the situation was not good, he looked around and only saw that he could hide under the bed.Regardless of the dust and clean robes, he decisively rolled under the bed.

The scholar pulled the woman, who should be Lian Hua, into the house, and then closed the door.

"Xu Lang, do you want to read poems to me tonight, or write poems?"

Lian Hua's voice at this time was coquettish and tactful, not at all like her usual coldness.If Duan Qiongyu hadn't heard that it was indeed her voice, he would have thought that An Cheng and the others had found the wrong person.
