Lu Hua Zhi You Feng Lin Lou

"Sihai Pavilion is not a vegetable market. If you want to quarrel, please go out."

As one of the three tall buildings in the capital, Sihai Pavilion has an unfathomable background. As soon as Manager Tan came out, the group of eunuchs immediately panicked, apologized with a smile, packed up their things and was about to leave.The girl performing was even more frightened, and hid behind Sikong, not daring to say a word.

"This is the first time, I don't care about it for the time being, if there is a next time, please don't come to Sihai Pavilion again." Manager Tan's brows were sharp, and with a few words, he successfully resolved the farce.

Lu Xiaofeng stood beside Huamanlou with his arms folded, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the girl behind Sikong Zhaixing, only her head was exposed, and only then did he see that on the other side's beautiful hair was a stick of a On the wooden hairpin, there are not flowers or beads on the hairpin, but two glass pieces, round and sunken, one transparent with blue, the other transparent with pink, strung together and inserted on the hollow wooden hairpin, it looks ordinary, Not very pretty, at best fresh and chic.Moreover, although glass is not common, but this girl is part of a performance team, and it is okay to get a reward when she goes to a big family to perform, after all, it is not a valuable thing.

Why did these eunuchs who shouldn't appear at this time take such a thing away?

Lu Xiaofeng waved to Bandit Wu, motioning him to stop those eunuchs who had already walked out of Sihai Pavilion, he and Hua Manlou stood there waiting for Director Tan to leave, and then had a few words with that girl.

"Hero Lu, Young Master Lu." But Director Tan turned his eyes and saw the two of them, and came over to say hello.The two had no choice but to return the gift, and they didn't come to Sihai Pavilion very often, and they didn't have any friendship with the legendary omnipotent Manager Tan.

"Lu Daxia, the last time Ximen Daxia drank here, he was accompanied by a young master, but they left something behind after they left. I don't know where Wanmei Villa is, and I have nowhere to give it. I just saw Lu Daxia. Why don't you give it to me?" How about giving it to Hero Lu, and keeping it for Hero Ximen first?" Director Tan suddenly mentioned something.

"What?" Lu Xiaofeng didn't care, "Just keep it for Ximen Chuuxue when he comes again."

Since returning from Sichuan, there has been no news of Ximen Chuuxue and Yu Xi. I don’t know what happened to these two when they returned to Wanmei Villa. The dark circles under their eyes were also taken away by them. Now that Director Tan mentions it, it’s really interesting I kind of miss it.

"I don't know if the dark circles under the eyes have grown a bit." Hua Manlou really thought of the little silver dog with a majestic father.

"Have you missed it? Then I'll ask the hidden guard to bring it back to Wanmei Villa." Lu Xiaofeng turned around and said.

Outside Sihai Pavilion, the hidden guards who were lying on the wall admiring the moon roared collectively—Mr. Zhuang, you haven’t entered Hua’s house yet!We don't listen to you!

"Hero Lu?" The neglected Manager Tan had a serious expression on his face, "This thing..." But just as he said a few words, a servant suddenly ran over and whispered something in his ear. He changed his tone when he spoke, "Okay, then we'll return it to Hero Ximen when he comes again. Hero Lu, sorry for the inconvenience, please continue to have fun." After finishing speaking, he left.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Hua Manlou: "What does he mean?" Hua Manlou shook his head, he didn't know much about Sihai Pavilion.

Sikong Zhaixing had already brought that girl over, and made a face at Manager Tan's back: "It's so fierce, it's not cute at all!" Then avoiding the fist he stretched out, he walked over to the girl and asked, "Can I have a look at your hairpin?"

Seeing that he knew Sikong, the girl stopped thinking of him as a bad person, pulled out the hairpin and handed it to him, emphasizing: "I really didn't steal anything from them. This hairpin was a few years ago when I went to a big family to perform. The wife rewarded me. I have worn this hairpin for several years, you see, it is already worn out."

Lu Xiaofeng took a closer look, and sure enough, the edges of the hairpins had been worn white, which was due to wearing them for several years.

"Can you sell it to me?" Lu Xiaofeng still felt that the two glass beads were strange, round in shape, with a shallow depression in the middle, and there were spots of blue or red marks inside, as if they had been seen somewhere been.The girl hesitated. "Or I'll exchange it with this." Lu Xiaofeng acted like a conjurer, suddenly there was a hairpin inlaid with gold and jade in his hand, and sure enough, the girl was immediately attracted, and nodded with a blushing face.

"What are you doing? Replace a wooden hairpin with a gold hairpin, and your head is broken?" Sikong Zhaixing waited for the girl to leave, and took the wooden hairpin to see, no matter how you looked at it, it didn't look expensive.What a loss, what a loss.

"I have my own use." Lu Xiaofeng took it back, pretending to be mysterious, looking at Hua Manlou, "Let's go, Pi Wu probably stopped him."

But Hua Qishao's expression was very subtle, Lu Xiaofeng's heart skipped a beat, he was broken.

Sure enough, Qi Shao waved his fan slightly, and said as if nothing had happened: "Brother Lu, you are carrying the golden hairpin of the girl's house with you. Are you going to meet some beauty later? Why don't you go back with Sikong first, without delay?" You." After finishing speaking, she walked out lightly.

"Hahaha!" Sikong Zaixing saw Lu Xiaofeng rushing to explain with a pale face, stomping his feet and laughing.

Piao Wu stopped the five or six little eunuchs on the street not far from Sihai Pavilion. The little eunuchs were so frightened by the black god that they couldn't even stand still.Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng arrived one after the other, as if they saw a life-saving fairy.It scared our family to death, almost thought it was going to be silenced.

Lu Xiaofeng saw that Huamanlou didn't leave, and stood there with a smile, so he knew that he was joking with him just now, really, he broke out in a cold sweat, from now on, he'd better never touch those women's things again, God knows When did that hairpin get into his sleeve? Anyway, he touched it just now, so he didn't think about it for a while, only caring about getting the wooden hairpin.

"This, what exactly is it?" Passing the wooden hairpin over, he asked the eunuchs.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, but they didn't dare to say any more, and kept shaking their heads.

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Piou Wu, who silently exposed his arm wrapped in black gold silk, and clenched his fist in front of them, exuding a powerful aura of violence from his body, with a few plops, the two timid ones knelt down down.

"We said, we said, good man, spare your life..."

Then they scrambled to narrate, it turned out that they really came out of the palace, after spending time on the street, they wanted to stay in Sihai Pavilion for one night, but when they saw the performance, they saw the hairpin on the girl's head , very similar to the things in the previous palace, just like this.

"These two balls are very ordinary, why do you think they belong to the palace?" Lu Xiaofeng was puzzled.

"If you're a hero, it's not a ball, it's a plum!" A young eunuch replied leaning against the wall.There is no way, the aura of Heisha God next to him is too strong, making people's legs weak.

Plum?Lu Xiaofeng's heart was shocked, Hua Manlou also put away the fan, took the wooden hairpin and touched it, it was indeed somewhat similar.It’s just that if you don’t mention it, you can’t easily think of it. You just think that the sag in the middle is just an error during production.

The three of them thought of the book of life and death at the same time, and the paintings on the book of life and death were plums.

"As the saying goes, peaches nourish people, apricots hurt people, and plum trees bury people to death. Why do people in the palace use plums as hairpins?" Hua Manlou continued to ask the eunuchs calmly.

The eunuchs trembled and remained silent for a while, as if they didn't dare to speak.The Chief Catcher had no choice but to go on stage again, this time he moved his feet slightly, and raised his hand to pat the dust on his clothes. Sure enough, as soon as he raised his hand, several eunuchs who had just stood up were frightened and knelt down again.

"Back, back to the hero, there used to be an empress in the palace who liked to eat plums very much. The imperial doctor said that plums were harmful to her health and she was not allowed to eat more. She ordered Yin Zuoju to make all kinds of plum-shaped jewelry. This is how the palace is. There is only one copy, so we say that this hairpin was stolen by that woman..."

"It turned out to be like this, I thought it was something valuable, okay, you guys go!" Lu Xiaofeng put away the wooden hairpins, and winked at Piou Wu.Bandit Wu continued his cold-faced always arresting head, and said a few words, and those eunuchs ran out of shit.

"It really didn't take much effort." Hua Manlou said.It seems that there is something to be said about the matter of the Shoulong Pavilion.

"Tomorrow, you can ask Qianzhong about that empress, and by the way, ask if there is any case of property theft in the palace. Hua Manlou and I will go to the Shaolong Pavilion again." Lu Xiaofeng has no way to thieves.

In the afternoon of the second day, everyone who returned to Shuntian Mansion had their own rewards.

It turned out that the first emperor once had a concubine, concubine Li Xu.Just like her title, she especially likes glass utensils and eats plums. When she was favored, the first emperor specially ordered the Yinzuo Bureau to make a large number of glass ornaments for her palace, from the hairpins on her head to the ones on her shoes. Bead strings are all made of glass.But the concubine Li, who was so favored, died suddenly on a night of heavy rain, and the Liuli Pavilion where she lived was also sealed off, and no one entered.

This happened two years ago. At that time, the current emperor was still the crown prince, and Qianzhong just followed his father in the palace, so he didn't know the specific reason.

As for Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou, the two of them went to the Shaoyu Pavilion this time, but they met the eunuch in charge, Hua Haisheng, who was in his forties, with a bloated body and a thin face, probably staying in the room all the time The reason is that the whole person is gray and white, exuding a sluggish and gloomy atmosphere. He heard that Lu Hua and the two had come to inquire about the rumors about the exchange of lives in Shaoxiang Pavilion, hehe sneered for a while, and suddenly trembled all over his body. The little eunuch below immediately gave him medicine, probably because of his usual illness.Hua Haisheng, who had calmed down, threw out a book with a broken edge, and went into the room again clutching his chest, and never came out again.

"Daming Haizhi?" Hong Jie flipped through the book that Lu Xiaofeng handed over, the binding was extremely simple, there was no printing date, and there was no name of the printing bureau, it looked like it was printed privately.

Lu Xiaofeng stood there twisting his waist and neck. He seemed to have a stiff neck last night, and his neck hurt all day. He had already read that book on the way back, and it recorded some strange things in Haibin County. There was a page in it Folded, it is recording a strange event that happened in Gutian County in eastern Fujian.Gutian County is rich in sapphire, also known as Yutian County. There is a jade-making family here. Because of this, the family moved to Fuzhou Prefecture. Unexpectedly, three years later, the twins and daughters of this family suddenly fell ill. When the two took their children around to burn incense and worship Buddha, scattered all their wealth, and tried all methods but failed to achieve good results, a Taoist who claimed to be a wandering fairy came to their home and said that they had destroyed a piece of jade when they were picking jade three years ago. Si Yuxian was so annoyed that he wanted to capture the souls of his sons and daughters and keep them in the jade.The husband and wife found a way to solve it from the Taoist priest. The so-called life-for-life, went to the land of natural jade mining, kowtowed three times and worshiped nine times, and made a wish to exchange their lives as husband and wife. Sure enough, a few days later, the pair of children woke up safe and sound. The two passed away in their sleep and were buried together in the place where the jade was picked.As for the piece of Bingdi jade raised with his life, no one has seen it.

This story sounds like a strange story, probably to praise the love of parents who cherish their children more than themselves. The so-called exchanging lives for lives is simply impossible.

"There is sapphire in this story, but the Li concubine seems to like glass, it seems that they have something in common." Hua Manlou pulled Lu Xiaofeng to sit next to him, rubbed his shoulders, and reminded everyone.

"You're saying that Concubine Li's death is related to the glass, and someone traded her life for the sake of resurrecting her. It's ridiculous, not to mention that Concubine Li has been dead for more than ten years, and her body has turned into ashes. How can she live?" Can you come here?" Piao Wu has never believed in ghosts and gods, and he is extremely disgusted.

Lu Xiaofeng felt so relieved at this moment, with a look of enjoyment on his face, he groaned and curled his lips: "Resurrection has to be done with death, but not only there are no dead people in this pavilion, on the contrary, fifty people came out properly. "

"If we hadn't found out about Rouge, wouldn't fifty beautiful girls have died?" Before discovering King Han's conspiracy, they thought the two cases were related.

Lu Xiaofeng opened his eyes, there was a flash of light, and what Pi Wu said was on point.The purpose of the people who poured musu juice into the rouge was to take the lives of fifty beautiful girls, but why did they not do anything else until now?And the fifty people in the palace also did their own things in a peaceful manner. This case is like a monster with a head but no tail.

"Maybe our thinking is too complicated. The other party just wants to stop this show girl election, and there is no conspiracy." Hua Manlou felt that someone's neck was getting further and further back, almost resting on her alone, the corner of her mouth With a hook and a twist of the thumb and index finger, someone's moaning and chirping voice immediately changed.

"Then who is going to stop the draft girl?" Piao Wu said that the two of them had time to analyze the case and still have time to fight and fight.

Lu Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and shrugged: "There are many, such as the little emperor, ministers who have daughters under the age of the family, or people who want the little emperor to die..." He was still counting, the back of his neck After being hit again, Hua Manlou coughed lightly, reminding him to be careful when speaking.This is Hong Jie's study, not the private room in Sihai Pavilion last night.

Taking a breath, Lu Xiaofeng raised his head to look at Hong Jie, only to find that Old Hong was pulling his beard and frowning in a daze, as if struggling to pull it off.

There is a problem, a big problem.Lu Xiaofeng got up and walked over, startled Hong Jie suddenly: "Hey, what are you thinking! Is the negativity and sabotage in broad daylight worthy of your little salary?" Hit him on the head--no matter how big or small, it's not proper.

"My lord, what's your idea?" The hard-working head catcher asked after he solved a case and got involved in various disasters, picked up the book that had fallen at his feet.

"Well, actually, when you mentioned glass, I just remembered an incident that happened in the Banking Bureau." The old man said that the ancient mode was turned on, and the three juniors immediately pricked up their ears with sparkling eyes. "About two years ago, there was a theft case in the palace. At that time, I accompanied Dali Siqing to investigate this matter."

Two years ago, the theft?It was strange for Hong Jie to suddenly think of such an ordinary case, but his intuition told all of them that there must be a connection.
