[comprehensive] as a system

As soon as Lu Xiaofeng and his party arrived in the capital, they went directly to Sange Hua's mansion.After explaining the situation, Third Brother Hua brought the chief steward of Baiyun City into the palace.

Ximen Chuuxue didn't follow, but went to the shop opened by Wanmei Villa to rest.

Huamanlou was taken care of by Mrs. Hua Sansao. Although Sikong Zhaixing followed him to Beijing, he slipped away as soon as he entered the city gate, leaving Lu Xiaofeng alone with nothing to do, so he went to drink with his confidante.

When Lu Xiaofeng reached Ouyang Qing's famous brothel by stroking his beard, the madam told him that Ouyang Qing was dead.

"what?!"

Lu Xiaofeng stared at the madam in surprise, and asked repeatedly: "Why is it so sudden? What kind of sudden illness is it?"

The madam smiled awkwardly at the guests who had heard the sound, dragged Lu Xiaofeng to the door of the firewood room in the backyard, and whispered, "Daxia Lu, we are quite close too, so I won't hide it from you. How many do I know, Mom?" The guy from the Tai Hospital, Qinger is the best girl here, if Qinger is sick, why don’t I find someone to treat her? Ouch, this is really..."

Lu Xiaofeng saw her embarrassed face but didn't say anything further, he stretched his hand into his bosom knowingly, took out a silver note of one hundred taels and handed it over.

The madam supernaturally took it over and put it away, and then said with a bitter face: "My mother, although I am not a good person, I have been in love with this girl Qing'er for so many years. She traveled far away every few months. I said What happened to her? I thought this time it was the same as before, and she came back after going out for more than ten days, but... hey, I left the night before, and the official sent me to recognize someone the next day..."

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes flashed brightly: "You mean, she often travels far away?"

"Isn't it?" The madam took out her handkerchief and pressed it on her eyes, pretending to wipe away her tears, and said in a babbling voice, "Tell me, she is a sister in the building, and she doesn't want to find a reliable man to leave. Forget it, no matter how bad it is, you have to save some old-age money, right? She is good, she is diligent in dealing with those fierce Jianghu girls, and she does not leave overnight money around her. Finally, someone gave her a good red satin. I used it to make shoes! I don’t know what she thinks all day..."

"Red shoes..." Lu Xiaofeng's heart skipped a beat, and he asked hastily, "Then does mother know the women she hangs out with?"

"Oh, how come I know some Jianghu heroines?" The bustard's eyes flickered, and she said, "All the people who come here are men, this Jianghu knight-errant, mother, I know a few, and women If you don't come to spend money, I don't care who they are?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng thought that the money was not in place, and she wanted to take the bank note from her bosom, but in the end she handed it over, but the madam refused to take it.

"How do you say that?" The madam smiled awkwardly and refused, "Lu Daxia, I have earned you a lot of money. If I really knew something, I would tell you. I really don't know!"

"You really don't know? Or are you afraid of something?" Lu Xiaofeng's gaze has been observing the expression of the madam, after one sentence, even through the thick powder, Lu Xiaofeng can see that the face of the madam has turned paler , looking even more flustered.

After thinking about it, Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Mom, don't be afraid, no one will know what you said to me. I can guarantee that no one will know that I talked to you today except this door."

The madam thought about it in a dilemma, gritted her teeth and pulled out the bank note from Lu Xiaofeng's hand, leaned over and whispered, "I've seen it two or three times before, Qing'er went away with a woman in purple clothes and came back together... You really can't blame me for not talking, that woman, I heard..."

She looked around, lowered her voice again, and said, "That woman's relationship with the chief arrester of Six Doors, Jin Jiuling, is not ordinary!"

Startled, Lu Xiaofeng turned his head slightly to stare at the madam's eyes, but he didn't see anything unusual, it seemed that the madam wasn't lying.

The madam stuffed the banknotes into her sleeves, stretched out her hands to brush her hair, and said with a flattering smile, "Don't blame me, Mr. Lu, for not daring to say it before. There are so many brothels in the capital, and it's not easy for me. How dare you easily offend Gongmenli?" people?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled stiffly and nodded: "I know, it's not easy for you to gain a foothold in the capital."

The bustard was relieved when she saw her say that, looked around, and said, "Besides, Jin Jiuling looks at the one who donates righteousness and donates money, and eats gold and swallows jade, but one of the six doors catches heads—even if he is the chief arrester." He can't pay much money, can he? Then how did he get all the money? He must be a ruthless person to scrape the land to get so much money. How dare I say such things casually? He knows me Can it still be good?"

Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to comfort her, and left in a hurry.

If it hadn't been for what the madam said, he had never doubted his friend's economic doubts before.

He knew in his heart that the money Jin Jiuling spent could never be obtained by scratching the land, how could the land stand such scraping?

But what the madam said was also true, Jin Jiuling is the younger brother of Master Bitter Gourd, his master is not a wealthy sect, and he is in a public office, where does he get so much gold and silver to squander?

Lu Xiaofeng was tired. What happened to Huo Xiu had made him sad once before. Could it be that Jin Jiuling also...

Why did his friend have problems one after another recently?

Lu Xiaofeng was so sad.

No longer in the mood to have fun, Lu Xiaofeng wants to drink now.

I found a random restaurant along the street, and while waiting for the food to be served, I heard a noise coming from downstairs.

"...It's amazing, there are only a few top swordsmen in the rivers and lakes, and it's no small matter for these two to discuss swords! I think the capital is going to be lively again!"

"That's not good. Brother, do you think, the emperor can watch them compete in the palace?"

"In the palace? Didn't you say it's on the top of Zijin?"

"Brother, did you hear me wrong? They are talking about the top of the Forbidden City!"

"Ah? I thought it was the Zijin Mountain outside the city... That's wrong, how can you just enter the palace to compete in martial arts? How could the emperor let them go?"

"Hey, so what if you don't let me? City Lord Baiyun and Head Emei, can anyone stop them from entering the palace?"

"Then, where does that put the emperor's face?"

"That's what I said! I see, the capital is not about to be lively, but about to become chaotic..."

How could Lu Xiaofeng remain indifferent when he heard this?He grabbed the waiter who was serving him food, and asked: "Brother Xiaoer, I heard they were talking about martial arts competitions, do you know what's going on?"

The waiter in the shop heard this and said: "Guest officer, the news just came out today, saying that the Lord Baiyun sent a letter to the head of Emei asking him to go to the capital for a sword competition."

Lu Xiaofeng asked: "Then they all said that these two people will enter the palace for the martial arts competition, what's the matter?"

The waiter rubbed his head: "Oh, speaking of this, I can't figure it out either—on the challenge post of the Lord of Baiyun, it is said that it was specially written that he would compete on the top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the palace on the fifteenth day of next month. Sword, it doesn't matter if the emperor agrees or not, this Baiyun city lord is really... Hey, look at me, it's useless to say these things, this hero, the dishes are all served, you take it easy!"

Lu Xiaofeng let go of his hand, and the waiter slipped away immediately after smearing oil on the soles of his feet.

Knowing that the store owner was also afraid of causing trouble, he didn't care about the attitude of the waiter in the store not to talk too much when he saw people in the martial arts, and sat on the seat thinking about things by himself, stroking his beard.

No need to ask, the so-called challenge posts must have been created by Nanwang.

There are still about [-] days until the fifteenth day of next month, so it seems that we need to make a good arrangement.

Throwing down the wine in the glass in one gulp, Lu Xiaofeng threw a piece of silver on the table, then walked back.

As a result, when they arrived at Sange Hua's house, Huamanlou's third sister-in-law was also in a hurry, because Sange Hua hadn't come out of the palace yet.

Hua Manlou comforted her third sister-in-law, and dragged Lu Xiaofeng to the front hall.

"It is estimated that the emperor discussed with the third brother how to solve it," Hua Manlou said, "This is a big matter, and there are many things involved. It will not be easy to calculate in a short time, so don't worry. It's you, why are you coming back like this?" morning?"

Lu Xiaofeng faced Hua Manlou's twitching smile awkwardly, and stroked his mustache: "Hey... let's not talk about that, I heard a piece of news when I came back - Ye Gucheng and Dugu Yihe, the head of Emei, will be married next month. When you are fifteen sons, you will compete with swords on the top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony!"

Hua Manlou was surprised: "So this is Nanwang's plan now? Let City Lord Ye enter the palace to compete with swords to attract attention, so that he can seize the opportunity to usurp the throne?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded: "I've been thinking about this on the way back, I guess that's it. I still don't know what the King of Nan wants them to do about those people from the Ghost Villa and Miaojiang... By the way, the news just came out today. It spread in the capital, does the Emperor know? Now that Third Brother Hua has not come back yet, I know Wei Ziyun, the inner guard, should we go to him first and let him deliver the news to the palace?"

Huamanlou laughed when he heard the words: "Lu Xiaofeng, don't you underestimate the emperor's intelligence network?"

Lu Xiaofeng was stunned, and Hua Manlou said with a smile: "Although the new emperor is only in his twenties this year, the timing is very good, he is very intelligent, broad-minded, and different from ordinary people. My third brother often said that the emperor is very respectable." People's hearts are broken, so there are many virtuous officials and generals, and masters of the rivers and lakes around him."

Hua Manlou reached out and poured a cup of tea for Lu Xiaofeng, and handed it over: "If the news from City Lord Ye is not too secretive and important, we don't have to rush to Beijing to deliver the letter. So you don't have to worry too much, Beijing Central After leaving such a message, someone will definitely report it immediately."

The author has something to say: I think Lu Xiaofeng, the emperor of the world, has an interesting personality
