"Lianxing Building, is this the place?" Bai Lian looked at the magnificent restaurant in front of him, "It's quite luxurious."

Feng Zhi: "I'm going to open a private room, my lord, wait a moment."

Bai Lian walked into the restaurant and felt uncomfortable even after staying in the front hall for a while.

On the stage in the main hall, several beautiful women are playing the piano, looking quite elegant, but the spectators in the audience are hugging left and right, full of obscenities.

Bai Lian wondered if he had entered a brothel?

Feng Zhi: "Master, it's done."

"How did my little sister live in this kind of place?" Bai Lian couldn't help sighing, and impatiently followed the young man to the private room.

As soon as the door of the private room was closed, most of the sound was cut off. Bai Lian pushed open the window, wishing he could get out of the window, "Did the shopkeeper of Lianxing Building kill the owner of the spice shop? This private room is on fire." How much incense, fumes to death."

Feng Zhi silently leaned over to the window and took a few deep breaths of fresh air.

After the smell in the room became less strong, Thyme Eucalyptus sat back on the chair, propping his dizzy head, "Is this the smell of lilies?"

"It smells like it is."

Bai Lian looked at the private room with disgust, "Isn't this place really a brothel?? There are also lilies and dancers, and these tulles hanging. Which serious restaurant is like this?"

A servant's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Guest officer, the food you ordered is ready."

Feng Zhi: "Send it in."

The servant quickly arranged the food, "You take it easy."

"Master, let's eat first, and I'll check this unscrupulous restaurant later." Feng Zhi pushed the fish that looked good to Bai Lian, "Master, eat the fish."

Bai Lian glanced at it, picked up other dishes, "No."

Feng Zhi: "Master, don't you like fish?"

"Ah."

Feng Zhi was silently annoyed that he had ordered the wrong dish.

Bai Lian bit the end of his chopsticks, glanced downstairs, then curled up the corners of his mouth, and waved downwards.

Not long after, the door of the private room was pushed open, Feng Zhi got up and bowed to Jiang Wei, "Young Master."

"Sit down." Jiang Weiyan waved his hand, and sat next to Baili'an, "This fish looks good."

Jiang Weiyan picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks, picked out the fishbone carefully, and asked without raising his head, "Did you find anything?"

"This restaurant is different from other restaurants, and it seems that there are other activities mixed in." Feng Zhi watched Jiang Weiyan put the fish into Baili's bowl, and couldn't help reminding, "Little Lord, master, don't you?" like……"

Before he could say the word "eat fish", Feng Zhi saw Baili An pick up the fish and put it in his mouth, and nodded because it tasted good.

Didn't you say you don't like fish...

Feng Zhi is a bit messy.

"Is it delicious?" Jiang Weiyan tilted his head, looked at Bailian with a smile on his face, and continued to criticize.

Bai Lian stared intently at the fish under Jiang Weiyan's chopsticks, "It's not bad, it's on par with Xi Ya Lou."

Feng Zhi coughed, and continued to report to Jiang Weiyan, "Just now when I was registering in the front hall, the shopkeeper asked me if I needed Qin Ji to accompany me. I heard his tone, like a bustard in a brothel."

"Have you ever been to a brothel?" Feng Yi said lightly, picking up a bean.

Feng Zhi hurriedly explained: "No, no, the master has gone, and I was at the door, so I didn't go in."

"Your master has gone?" Jiang Weiyan looked at Bai Lian inexplicably.

Bai Lian: "...I'm going to handle the case."

No calamity.

Feng Zhi received Bai Lian's eyes that wanted to slash him, and immediately made up for it: "Yes, yes, I really didn't go to play. The master washed it for a long time after going back that day, and I always feel that I still have that powdery smell on my body..."

Bai Lian knocked on the table, "It's far away."

Jiang Weiyan: "Miss Su didn't mention that Lianxinglou is such a scene?"

Bai Lian poked Jiang Weiyan's arm with his fingers, and raised his chin towards the fish, "No, she just raised her mouth. This restaurant is no different from ordinary restaurants. But it has become like this in a few days , there must be something strange in it.”

Jiang Weiyan quickly picked out the fishbone, and fed the fish directly into Baili's mouth with the chopsticks, not forgetting to make a joke: "It's like a cat."

Feng Zhi and Feng Yi looked at each other: We shouldn't be here, we should be under the table.

"What did you find?"

"Over there." Jiang Weiyan pointed to the place across the river from the window, "There is also a Lianxing Building."

"What?" Bai Lian and Feng Zhi looked at each other suspiciously, "I can't make a mistake, right?!"

"The Lianxinglou we found looks like an ordinary restaurant, not like this..." Jiang Weiyan thought for a while, "Love wine and love flowers."

"I just said how could my little girl come to such a place." Bai Lian said, "Did you find anything unusual?"

"Nothing for the time being. Miss Su's matter didn't cause much trouble, and it was late at night, so no one knew about it."

Bai Lian slammed his head on the table, startling the other three.

He wailed: "What's the matter!!!"

***

Qingzhou is located at the northern end of Daxia, and the current governor of Qingzhou is the champion of last year, named Xu Zhi.Originally, his family was poor, but Xu Zhi was eager to learn and made progress. Once he was named on the gold list, he was honored by his ancestors.

During Xu Zhi's tenure, Bai Lian happened to be in the lockdown period, and the two did not meet face to face.Seeing his extraordinary clothes, Xu Zhi only regarded him as a son of a wealthy family.

Xu Zhi sat behind the table and said softly, "Young Master, you don't look like someone from Qingzhou, what do you call him?"

"Miangui's surname is Mu, from Bianjing."

"I heard from someone that the young master wants to report the crime?"

Bai Lian nodded: "A few days ago, my sister was traveling in Qingzhou and stayed in Lianxing Building. She didn't want to be molested by thieves. Since it happened in Qingzhou City, it should be resolved by Qingzhou City."

Xu Zhi looked at him like a sick and weak son, but his tone of voice was intimidating, he unconsciously tightened his fingers, "There is such a bad thing, don't worry, Mr. Mu, we will definitely do our best to investigate it."

"I don't know if such a thing happened in Qingzhou recently?"

"I'm not sure about this, but no one has reported the case. Mr. Mu didn't mention it, and I didn't know there were such thieves in Qingzhou."

"That's it." Bai Lian folded his hands, his right thumb rubbed the protruding ulna of his left hand, he didn't know what he was thinking, "By the way, I heard that there are two Lianxing Buildings in Qingzhou, I don't know..."

"Oh, there was only one Lianxing Building at first, the one on the other side of the river. It has been open for decades, and people who come to Qingzhou love to live there. Later, Qingzhou became more and more prosperous, and more buildings were opened. Xinlianxing Building is one of them, and the owner calls it Lefang.”

"Le Fang?"

Xu Zhi gave him a meaningful look, "If Mr. Mu has been there, you will know where it is. They are all men. Everyone knows this well."

The corner of Baili's mouth twitched: "..."

Don't look at me like that!

After walking out of the mansion, Bai Lian brushed off his clothes in disgust, as if something dirty was stained inside.

"My lord, what shall we do now?"

"How much do you believe what Xu Zhi said?"

"This... is probably believable."

Bai Lian snorted coldly: "The whole story is a lie."

The Leng family has a big business, and they also have a business in Qingzhou, Bai Lian and his party all settled in the Leng family.

Su Yishuang arrived a day later than them, and ran out of the back room when she heard footsteps, "Brother, are you back?"

"Well, didn't you run around today?"

Su Yishuang looked proud, "No, I went to crowded places, and I'll be back before dark."

"Very good." Bai Lian rubbed her head, "Where's Jiang Weiyan?"

"Sister-in-law...uh, the young master is in his own room."

"I see, go back to your room and rest, you'll be fine at Leng's house, Feng Zhi and Feng Yi are guarding outside your door, don't be afraid."

Bai Lian's footsteps were weak, and he walked slowly to the backyard, pushed open the door of Jiang Weiyan's room, and said wearily, "I'm exhausted."

Jiang Weiyan pulled him to sit on his lap, and lightly pecked his face, "Brother, thank you for your hard work, I just said I'll go, you have to show your strength to me."

Bai Liyan nestled lazily in his arms, with drooping eyelids, and said weakly: "That's my sister, of course I have to go by myself."

"You are all mine now, so Ms. Su is also my sister." Jiang Weiyan said, "Miss Su called me 'sister-in-law' when she saw me today, but after realizing it was wrong, she called back 'Xiaohou' Lord'."

Bai Lian smiled helplessly: "This girl is really..."

"Did you find anything in the government office today?"

"There's something wrong with this governor." Bai Lian sat up straight, "I went to Yushitai to look through the files before I came to Qingzhou. Five such cases happened in Qingzhou two months ago, and each of them is basically similar. .”

"How to say?"

"These five cases all have one thing in common. The girls who were molested said they saw their sweethearts, so they didn't sue that person afterwards. It was because the girls' real sweethearts found out that their lovers were not virgins. Only after inquiring did I find out what happened. Many of them were sons of senior officials, so this matter is archived at Yushitai." Bai Lian said, "If a local case can be archived at Yushitai, the local government must also have a record. But Fu Yin told me that nothing like this has happened recently."

"Seeing my sweetheart..." Jiang Weiyan pondered for a moment, then said, "When I was on the edge, I heard about some big and small things in Great Liang. It is said that Great Liang has a medicine called 'Li Qing San', which will appear after inhalation. Illusion, in the end lovers are cut off."

Bai Lian pinched the center of his brows and muttered: "Separate from love... Great Liang..."

Jiang Weiyan picked him up and walked to the bed, "Okay, don't think about it, let's rest, I see you are sleepy."

"I'm going back to my own room..." Bai Lian said in a daze.

Jiang Weiyan covered him with a quilt, and then hugged him whole, with his chin resting on his head, "Go back to what house, sleep with me."

Even when Bai Lian is sleepy, he still has to block people: "Taking advantage of others' danger, taking advantage of the situation, where have you learned etiquette, morality and shame?"

"I'm a fool to talk about etiquette, righteousness and shame to you." Jiang Weiyan lowered his head and kissed the corner of his mouth, stroking his head, "Sleep, I won't disturb you, sweet dream."

The author has something to say:

If Jiang Weiyan was a modern person, he would buy a lot of pillows...

No, he can hug me...

The clown who really needs a pillow is myself...
