Prostitution

Ministry of punishment.

The yamen officer reported that Xu Shaoqing was ordered by the prince to escort the suspect here.

Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment have different functions and powers, which belong to cooperation rather than affiliation.According to the official rank, the homonym of the song is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, so there is no need to greet the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in person, because the other party is here in the name of the prince.

He and several servants in the mansion went to the lobby to greet him.

"Master Qu, this is the relevant evidence. The lord asks your lord to assist in arresting the important criminal." Xu Jingyun saluted, and his subordinates presented written evidence.

Qu Tongyin just glanced at it from a distance,

"It's easy to say, please come to Xu Shaoqing."

But suddenly there was a commotion outside the lobby, and the suspect easily broke free from the handcuffs while the two sides were handing over.

The yamen servants raised their killing sticks and surrounded him.

"I said that I am not He Pingzhang. Your government is detaining good citizens indiscriminately. Is there any law? Just take away the so-called evidence. I won't go to prison!"

After the suspect finished his prosecution, he swept his legs, and the yamen servant collapsed and fell to the ground.

Xu Jingyun has martial arts in his body, so he rushed out in a hurry.At this time, the suspect picked up a killing stick and threw it at him. Xu Jingyun dodged sideways, but the killing stick hit Qu Tongyin's forehead impartially.

"Ouch..." Master Shang Shu immediately fell to the ground, crying out in pain.

Xu Jingyun was startled, and hurriedly looked back.The prisoner was escorted by him, and the handover has not yet been completed. It is a big deal if he escapes, and it is even more troublesome to kill the court officials.

When he looked back again, there were only government servants who were hugging their heads, and the suspect had long since disappeared.

"Master Qu, are you alright?" Xu Jingyun had no choice but to turn his head and get on the handle between the servants.

Qu Tongyin covered his forehead with his hands, staring at him, unable to stand still, leaning on Xu Jingyun's body.

Wen Qu got a golden qin, and he was so happy that peonies bloomed on his face. He even walked with extraordinary posture. Wen Wuyu was worried that he would fly into the sky if he didn't pay attention.

After being happy for a few days, Wenqu has restrained a bit, and his walking is no longer drifting. He only sleeps with his arms around the golden piano as a quilt, and every night he dreams of the gold falling from the sky and he picks it up on the ground.

The master was suffering, and as a servant, Wen Qu couldn't pretend to be heartbroken, so he told Wen Wuyu the joys and stories he saw in the back kitchen, hoping that Bo Jun would smile.

"Master, the cook and spoon master is a big fat man of two hundred catties. How can you say that he is so fat? He must have been stealing oil and water."

"The fire master is deaf and dumb, with white hair all over his head. The palace is so rich, why don't you invite someone young and normal?"

"I also found out that my knife skills are the best in the entire back kitchen. I have even competed with them, and everyone admires me so much that the turtles lie on the ground."

"Hey, it turns out that other young men's meals are delivered by the back kitchen, but we have a small kitchen here, hehe, Wu Qu and I have trouble running back and forth, so, what you eat is also brought by the back kitchen, Anyway, it’s Wuqu’s performance that’s not bad.”

"Master, I also heard that during this period of time, the prince only asked you to serve him, and the other young ladies gathered together for fun, wishing that the prince would not pass on them. Alas, the prince is also very pitiful. He feeds you with delicious food and drink. They can't get along well, they look pretty on the surface, but in fact, everyone is afraid of him, and they can only pretend to be little rabbits in front of him."

Just like this, this guy was blinded by a golden harp, throwing out the tragic fact that his face was spattered with blood.

Wen Wuyu sighed deeply, and when he finished talking happily, he was full of worry, "I must advise you, the less you know, the better, and you'd better put away your gossip."

"Ah, your mouth is not sour." Wen Qu was first surprised that his master had been silent for a few days and finally opened his mouth, then he got up unwillingly, and put away the bowls and chopsticks with a bang bang sound, "I just saw you looking listless to relieve your boredom Then, I didn’t tell anyone else, if you want to do this, then I won’t talk to you anymore.”

Wen Wuyu couldn't help laughing, so he coaxed, "I blamed you wrong, I am grateful for your kindness."

Wen Qu pouted and cleaned the table meticulously.

Wen Wuyu had no choice but to change the subject, "What are you going to do with that golden piano?"

When Wen Qu heard the word "Golden Qin", he immediately said passionately, "That's mine! Don't try to take it for yourself."

Wen Wuyu rolled his eyes, "It's your fault. I just want to ask you that you plan to sleep with a lump of dead gold all your life, and you are not afraid of ghosts pressing your bed."

When Wen Qu thought about it, it seemed reasonable, it was really heavy, and he woke up in shock for several nights because he couldn't breathe, "What do you think?"

"It's easy to carry it with you and save it in a bank."

Wen Qu blinked, "I can't get it."

Wen Wuyu stood up, put on his whisk and stroked it, "I'll help you. We haven't been out since we entered the palace, so let's take a stroll along the long street."

Wen Qu held the empty bowl in his arms, and neither left nor left, "Go now? What about these?"

Wen Wuyu stepped out slowly, "Don't worry about it, quickly put your piano on your back, and hide it with a cloth so it doesn't leak out."

As soon as they said they would leave, the master and servant went out in a low-key way, asking questions all the way, until they reached the side door of the palace, but were stopped by the guards at the door.

——Do not go out without orders.

The two were dumbfounded. If I remember correctly, what Lian Qi ordered was to go out and report to the government. Doesn't that mean just saying it?

Wen Wuyu used his tone so much that he stayed at the side door and asked the guards to ask the prince for orders.

The truth is that he is afraid that the lord will lose face if he sees his two rewards that have not been warmed up and sold them for money.

The guard guarding the gate was an honest person, and he only reported that Mr. Wen and his servant wanted to go out for an hour to play, and the busy prince agreed casually.

A pure gold lyre, a fancy but useless thing, is naturally not made according to normal specifications, and its size is much smaller, but it is really rare in the world. No matter how rich and noble a family is, who would be bored enough to cast such a useless and land-consuming thing.

The shopkeeper of the gold shop almost stared out of his eyes, and immediately ordered someone to serve him with good tea.

Wen Wuyu is very spiritual, he found the largest gold shop in the capital, an ordinary small shop might not be able to sell tens of thousands of taels of silver bills for a while.

Jinqin was weighed, the two sides negotiated the price, and finally sold at 5 taels.

Wen Qu got 5 taels of silver at once, and his spirit was greatly shocked. He held his chest tightly and pretended to be a beauty, for fear of being blown away by the wind.As the saying goes, he is not afraid of thieves stealing or thinking of thieves. His heart was filled with 5 taels and finally broke down. He kept one for himself, and gave the remaining four to his master.

promising!Wen Wuyu thought to himself, because of the outsiders all over the street, it's hard to say it out.

The two went to several banks, Wen Qu couldn't understand why his master didn't keep his private money in one place, Wen Wuyu's explanation for this is very beautiful-in case of emergencies, he specially saved a copy for each of the three .

He deposited Wenqu's 1 taels into the largest bank in the capital. The name of this bank has spread all over the country, and it has been difficult for a hundred years. No, the person who picked it up cannot withdraw the money with the deposit note alone. As long as the token is there, the money is still yours.

Everything is perfect, and Wen Qu exudes the temperament of a rich man from his heels to the ends of his hair.

He crossed the river and demolished the bridge to ask Wen Wuyu for the money he wanted to donate, and commanded arrogantly,

"Master, treat the 4 taels just now as my deposit for you."

Wen Wuyu was not annoyed by being on the head by a servant, he took out the palm of the deposit box, "Then you take it back, I'll use it if it's spare."

Wen Qu hurriedly closed his hand, and looked around nervously, "Don't, don't you know if your money is not exposed? Just use it, anyway, you have money to pay, and I will ask you to get it after I spend all my money. It's always okay." Bar."

Wen Wuyu laughed, and put the deposit ticket back into his pocket, "Okay, I'll make it harder for you to be your bank."

"By the way, our food, clothing and housing all belong to the palace, and Wu Qu's medicine is also obtained for free from the pharmacy of the palace, so what else do you need to pay for it?"

Wen Wuyu didn't answer, he glanced at the jade pendant in the shape of a dust whisk hanging on the wooden shelf beside the middle road, and now he had already cut through the flow of people and came to the shelf, he leaned down to watch it carefully.

Even an ignorant person like Wen Qu could tell that the jade pendant was not up to the mark at all.

"Master, what are you buying this for?" Wen Qu scornfully dismissed him, thinking that he had bad eyesight.

"My lord's birthday is coming soon."

"Huh? How much is this thing worth? The prince will definitely not like it."

"You know what an idiot, gold has a price and jade is priceless. Courtesy is more important than affection." Wen Wuyu choked back.

Unconvinced, Wen Qu hummed with slanted eyebrows and mouth.

After a while, his master shouted, "Shopkeeper, how much is it?"

The shopkeeper rushed over from the silverware stall next door, and said enthusiastically, "Young Master, you really have a good eye. The best and most expensive thing I have here is this whisk pendant, one tael of silver!"

After Wen Qu moved into the palace, his eyes gradually grew to his forehead, he looked down on the vulgar things all over the street, and it took a lot of time to travel to various banks, so he urged Wen Wuyu to go back home.

Coincidentally, before going out of the long street, I ran into Xu Jingyun, a regular customer.

After parting from outside the city, Xu Jingyun didn't expect to see each other again, so overjoyed, he put aside his official business and invited Wen Wuyu to drink tea in a teahouse.

The hospitality is hard to turn down, so Wen Wuyu didn't refuse.

The long street is bustling and bustling.

After Mr. Xu asked about the recent situation and expressed a few ambiguous words, the three sticks couldn't beat a fart, so he had nothing to say.

In order not to stand in the cold, Wen Wuyu worriedly asked about a family matter, "Did Master Xu catch He Pingzhang?"

Xu Jingyun looked troubled when he mentioned this matter.Mr. Qu's injury was not serious, but the suspect ran away, so after reading the case files, Mr. Qu suspected that He Pingzhang had not only bribed an unknown thief to confuse his whereabouts, and suggested that the two families take turns to monitor Jingzhao Mansion, which would definitely gain something.

Today is his turn to stay behind.

Xu Jingyun briefly mentioned a few facts about the case.

Wen Wuyu had a sudden thought, and thought about another question in reverse, "If He Pingzhang is really as powerful as the rumors say, why did he only pick on the Jingzhao Mansion and only stole a few hundred taels of silver? Why don't Master Xu check it out?" Check Jing Zhaoyin, maybe there is something hidden in it."

Hearing this, Xu Jingyun became even more embarrassed, "You don't know something, Mr. Jing Zhaoyin Liu is deeply trusted by the emperor, without the emperor's will, how dare we investigate him."

Wen Wuyu asked curiously, "According to what you say, Mr. Liu has a lot of background."

"I don't know what his background is. No one knows his deeds before he became an official. It is said that he was a housekeeper in a high-ranking official's house in the previous dynasty. Now it is impossible to verify whether it is true or not."

Wen Qu, who was standing at the door, couldn't help urging him, "Master, the time is coming, if the prince blames him, it will be terrible."

Wen Wuyu had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye.

There was hope in Xu Jingyun's eyes, and he said awkwardly as he saw each other off, "I live in West Street, if you...if you have time, you don't have any important things to do, you can come to Xu's mansion to find me, there is no other purpose, just to talk ,Is it ok?"

Wen Wuyu smiled back with good intentions, and nodded slightly.
