Ao Yan didn't have a bad face, she fell for it when she was angry.He stared at Yu Changle indifferently, as if to say: Is it fun, huh?

"Young Master Yu is here to look for Xiaoman?" Rui Rui who was at the beginning said again, "Sister Xiaoman, I can't see guests recently."

The words were tactful, but Yu Changle still smiled: "That's it, I came to find Sister Rui. Sister Rui is the best way, isn't it?"

It is a felony for a prostitute to kill a customer, and a madam cannot cover it up.Rui Rui didn't speak for a while, and when she wasn't smiling, her eyes looked too vicissitudes on the face of a woman in her 20s.

"I believe Xiaoman won't do such a thing, and I'm willing to clarify for her." Yu Changle looked directly at Rui Rui, his eyes slightly bent.

"Xiaoman is a good girl." Rui Rui sighed, turned around and disappeared on the balcony on the second floor, "Young Master Yu, come with me."

Calling a kabuki a "good girl" would make people laugh elsewhere.But when Rui Rui said this, none of the girls showed the slightest rebuttal expression.

Rui Rui went downstairs, Yu Changle and Ao Yan followed behind her, walked through several narrow alleys to the remote backyard of Luoyun Tower.This place is used to discipline disobedient women. It is more glamorous than the outside, but it is extremely dilapidated and full of resentment.

Yu Changle has never been here before, but I heard that a little singer talked about it, and all the girls are very afraid of being thrown here.

Rui Rui led them to a room and left.Before leaving, she hesitated for a while, and said to Yu Changle: "We really have nothing to repay Mr. Yu's kindness. Apart from thanking you, my sister doesn't know what to say."

Brothel Chuguan never lacks clients who want to persuade people to be good.Prostitutes may not like these men, but they will really appreciate Yu Changle.

It was Xiaoman in the room.

When Yu Changle pushed open the door, she was sitting by the window in a daze, when she turned her head when she heard the sound of the door, her expression froze.Surprise and joy slowly overflowed from those big clear eyes, and her eye circles turned red instantly, and she sniffed: "Young Master Yu!"

After all, she was only a 16-year-old girl, her pale face was full of confusion and panic, and there were red marks from being beaten.Yu Changle frowned and said, "Why is your voice so hoarse?"

The singer's most important thing is her voice, and Xiaoman cherishes it even more, and buys spiritual herbs to protect her voice every month.Such a good voice, but now it is hoarse.Xiaoman shook his head with tears in his eyes, and said, "Probably the cold air has entered the body."

"I remember you, you are Mr. Ao, aren't you?" Xiaoman smiled at Ao Yan, who nodded slightly.She looked at the two of them, and bit her lower lip tightly, as if she wasn't sure if they were here to help her or just to see her for the last time.

Yu Changle touched the top of her hair, and said, "What's going on? Tell me the ins and outs. No one can blame you for things you haven't done."

Xiaoman's tears fell down at once.She cried, "I didn't kill anyone!"

The dead prostitute, Young Master Qin, had a strong background, he was the eldest son of a wealthy businessman in Xingpan Town.Young master Qin ordered Xiaoman to sing for five nights in a row, and on the sixth night, he wanted to take her body by force.

The women on this street are either prostitutes or performers.Many singers like Xiaoman who can support themselves by singing songs do not know how to sell themselves.If it's like Senior Brother Zhao, just wanting to take advantage of it, it's fine to bear with it.

"He said he wanted to eat my rouge, I thought, let him kiss it and it's over..." Xiaoman's voice trembled, "But I didn't expect that he would be like that... just like that in front of so many people face, on stage..."

Ao Yan's expression was also ugly, and Xiaoman's eyes froze, as if recalling some particularly terrifying scene: "He, he came to kiss my face, touch me... I can't beat him... who knows , he suddenly, suddenly—”

Xiaoman's voice suddenly rose, and he covered his face and said, "He suddenly fell on top of me! He died just like that...his pupils were blurred! I screamed in fright, and went to sniff him, and then You know... you know, he's dead!"

"Don't be afraid, there is no Young Master Qin here, don't be afraid." Yu Changle shouted in a low voice, reaching out to hold Xiao Manxu in his arms, stopping her trembling.

"They said that Young Master Qin was poisoned to death." Xiaoman's eyes were full of fear and confusion, "How could it be? Wasn't it all bleeding from the seven orifices? He seemed to be asleep until he was carried away by his servants... "

Yu Changle and Ao Yan exchanged glances.He didn't correct Xiaoman's wrong concept, not all poisons can make people bleed.

"Where did the poison come from? Have they checked it?" Yu Changle asked softly.

Xiaoman shook his head: "Nothing at all. Young Master Qin's drinks and food have all been inspected, and there is nothing. After he came to Luoyun Tower, he had no contact with other sisters. ...So, they suspected that I secretly fed him poison. But I really didn't!"

This is simply indisputable, Yu Changle pondered for a moment, and said: "Did you miss other details?"

"No." Xiaoman smiled bitterly, "I've told them these words hundreds of times. I'm going to die tomorrow, and the white silk they gave me..."

There was a white silk across her knees, and Xiaoman had been holding it tightly just now, his hands were shaking so hard.Her voice lowered: "Actually, it wasn't Sister Rui, I deserved to die that day... I don't want to die, I don't want to die. I don't want to die..."

Yu Changle went through the process of Xiaoman's description in his mind, and frowned.

It was so intense during the attack, he was still a living person a moment ago, and died in the blink of an eye. This kind of poison could not have been applied a long time ago. The time when Young Master Qin was poisoned should indeed be after he came to Luoyun Tower.

That nameless poison must have been taken orally.Otherwise, if the gas is used, everyone present will definitely be poisoned.

What would Young Master Qin eat?Drinks, refreshments, meals...these have all been ruled out.

Yu Changle looked around the room and found a golden box on Xiaoman's dressing table.The whole room was dilapidated and desolate, and the box was out of tune with the whole environment, and it was extremely conspicuous.

"What's that?" he couldn't help asking.

Xiaoman wiped away her tears, "It's rouge, which just came out recently, and it's said to be able to keep your face forever. It took me a long time to buy it, and it's indeed prettier than all the powders I've used before. Who knows..." She He smiled wryly, "I've only used it once or twice, so I won't need it anymore. I wonder if I can still use such a beautiful rouge when I go to the underworld?"

The young and lively little girl is still at an age where she loves beauty and beauty, and she happily bought rouge to paint herself not long ago.But soon, the fragrance will disappear and the jade will die.The comparison between the two is extremely bleak.

"Rouge..." Yu Changle was thoughtful, walked to the rouge box, and was suddenly taken aback, "It's Rouge!"

When Ao Yan looked over, he realized: besides eating, what else did Young Master Qin eat?Isn't it Xiaoman's rouge?

Several boxes of the same rouge were quietly opened and placed in front of everyone.

This rouge box is delicate and small, the size of a palm, with a golden copper skin and a white porcelain bottom. The rouge is bright in color and exudes a floral fragrance.Thick but not greasy, it smells like peach blossom.

After a few days, Xiaoman was released from the backyard room for the first time.She hid behind Yu Changle with some fear, and stuck out half of her head.In the hall, Rui Rui, the owner of Luo Yun, and the Qin family all came, all with solemn expressions.

"This rouge is called 'Peach Blossom Drunk'. The girls in the building are using it recently. How can it be poisonous?" Rui Rui's face was also a little pale. After speaking, she reached out and touched her cheek unconsciously.

As a madam, she naturally used this new expensive rouge.The things used on the face are told to be highly poisonous, how can we not panic?

Yu Changle said: "Sister, please take a look."

He picked up a small lump of rouge with chopsticks and dissolved it in water, took out a cage containing mice, and put Xiaozhan into the cage.The aroma of peach blossom drunk was very sweet, and the mice were lured to come forward and drink water around the small cup.

Rui Rui stared at the mouse.After drinking the water, the mice were still circling freely in the cage at first, but after half a stick of incense, they all suddenly convulsed and died beside Xiaozhan in an instant!

"Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu up!" Rui Ruii slumped down at the table, knocking the chair down.

"All the peach blossom drunks in Luoyun Tower are here." Yu Changle said, "There are 31 boxes in total, and each box is highly poisonous."

Luo Yunzhu's complexion was also extremely ugly, and he said, "Why has no one noticed it before?"

"As long as you don't drink it, Peach Blossom Drunk won't get poisoned... so quickly." Yu Changle didn't say "it won't get poisoned", even if you think about it, you know that such a highly poisonous thing is applied to the skin even for a while. It can't be seen that it will be poisoned over the years.

He fiddled with the rouge box, "Girls put it on their faces, and there are only a few customers who can do it like Young Master Qin. Naturally, it's been so long, and no one has noticed."

"Nonsense!" The Qin family scolded angrily, "You mean to say that my young master died of poisoning because of bad luck?"

Yu Changle raised his eyebrows. He really wanted to say that your young master was not unlucky, but was poisoned because he was too oily and wretched.Taking this kind of rouge by mouth according to the dose of a mouse will not kill you in one bite. Your Young Master Qin must have eaten a lot of Xiaoman before he died from the poison?

"The young master died at your house, and it was because of your family's rouge that he was poisoned, so you should be responsible!" The Qin family was unwilling to accept this result, and only wanted to drag Xiaoman into the water bitterly, "This little bastard is going to kill you!" Damn it!"

"But I didn't kill anyone!" Xiaoman said, his beautiful eyes bursting with anger.

Yu Changle stopped the Qin family, and said: "There is an injustice and a debtor. Why do you do this? I will report to the academy when I am drunk with peach blossoms, and let the gentlemen judge."

After moving out of "Yinglu Academy", the Qin family fell silent and sat down.

"Where did Peach Blossom Drunk come from?" Ao Yan casually tossed up a rouge box and asked.

Rui Rui said: "For this kind of rouge, we don't ask where it is produced... The merchants bought the goods and sold them directly to brothels and Chuguan. Unlike other people's rouge and gouache, they come from reputable shops. All I know is, Peach Blossom Drunk is imported from the north."

Yu Changle said in a low voice: "Vicious."

If it is exclusively sold to fireworks girls, and if it is circulated secretly without being on the desk of nobles, the possibility of it being discovered will be lower.Even if something happened, how many people would think of Rouge in the case of Young Master Qin?

As for the prostitutes who died due to the accumulation of poison, no one would care.The firework girl has had a bad life since ancient times. Even if she died, she would not think that it was Peach Blossom who got her drunk.

No matter who made the Peach Blossom Drunk, and for what purpose it spread, the intentions are really vicious.

"Isn't our life our life?" Rui Rui murmured, picked up the rouge box, gritted her teeth, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she threw it to the ground violently, "Who the hell did this shit? !"

The rouge box shattered into pieces with a "bang", the ground was stained red, and the fragrant smell filled the air. No one would have guessed that this would be a poison | medicine that seals the throat when it sees blood.

Ao Yan said: "Do you want to continue the investigation?"

Yu Changle nodded, looked down at the fragments of pink on the ground, and said, "I always feel...it's not that simple."

After three months, Yu Changle and Ao Yan left Xingpan Town again.

Taohuazui reported to the gentlemen, and they applied to continue the investigation.The busiest time of spring plowing is coming soon, and the academy will also take a half-month vacation at that time, so the gentlemen approved the request.Shen Minghua and Ouyang Ling would go home during the Spring and Autumn holidays, while Ah Lan wandered somewhere, so there were only the two of them on this journey.

"Tell me, what kind of personality would a person who makes peach blossom drunkenness have?" Yu Changle asked while playing with the rouge box in his hand.

He was wearing a red dress, which made his face brighter.There are golden auspicious money patterns on the brocade clothes, black boots on the feet, wrist guards on the hands, and precious jade hanging on the belt. He is dressed like a young man from a wealthy family.Ao Yan was dressed in black, with only a white jade hairpin inserted in his hair, as a guard.

Secretly investigating that it is not suitable to dress up as a Lingmen, the two changed their attire.This kind of clothing will not be abrupt in and out of Fireworks and Willow Lane.Originally, Ao Yan was the son, but he was too fierce and too lazy to talk, so he had to be the vicious bodyguard.

"Bad taste." Ao Yan spat out two words lightly.

Peach Blossom Drunk, the title is "Youth Forever".Brothel female sex declines but loves to gallop, even if it is to get a lot of money, you will like this statement.The body of Young Master Qin hasn't rotted yet, his complexion is as ruddy as an ordinary person's, even a little brighter than before, isn't it "youth forever"?

Yu Changle gave an "um" in agreement: "Indeed. I think it might be a woman."

The rouge box in his hand has been cleaned. They compared it along the way, and the pattern of this box is not like any other goods on the market. It should be made by the rouge maker himself.This shows that the place should be very large, with at least one private kiln.

It is quite aesthetic, and it is by no means a crude product. The color and texture of rouge are very popular with women.With such an understanding of these things, it is more likely that the creator is a woman.

The two of them visited all the way, and got a general idea of ​​the route of the rouge, and now they have arrived in Bingzhou.

Further north of Bingzhou is the grassland, Yu Changle thinks it is unlikely to be there, the source of the peach blossom drunk should be in the area of ​​Bingzhou.And Bingzhou once again appeared in their field of vision, which made Yu Changle feel a little uneasy.

Fortunately, this time it was not in Jianxing on the outskirts of Bingzhou, but pointed to the hinterland.

"We've arrived at Luoying City."

A city gate guard stopped the carriage ahead, Yu Changle paid the toll, returned to the car and frowned, "It's getting more and more expensive."

The farther you go to the hinterland of Bingzhou, the higher and higher the taxes and fees the city-states have to pay.If Yu Changle and Ao Yan were not very rich, they might not be able to survive.

This would never be the case when the Zhong family was still alive. In the current system, the aristocratic family and the government are inextricably linked. The government is in the open, and the aristocratic family is in the dark.If the established system suddenly collapses, it will fall into chaos. It is impossible to form a new self-supporting system so quickly in more than 30 years.

It's hard to say whether there are other aristocratic families involved in this.A chaotic Bingzhou is definitely better than a Bingzhou that quickly gets entangled with old forces.

The way the guards looked at him just now made Yu Changle feel uncomfortable.He saw this kind of look when he was in Luoyun Tower, collectively referred to as "lustful lust".

Yu Changle was good-looking, and there were masculine youths in the academy who had confessed to him, but he had never seen such an explicit one.

He returned to the carriage with his usual expression.Yu Changle was sure that if Ao Yan found out, he would trample the guard to death. "I think we need to check our current identities, which is not good."

Ao Yan said: "Then what identity do you want to change?"

They are guests in the brothel, and they are natural opposites to those women. They have to play as much as possible, and it is impossible to find out the inside story in a short time.

Just as he was talking, hurried footsteps came from behind the carriage, which was particularly obvious to Lingxiu's ears.After entering Luoying City, there is a large area of ​​farmland and villages, with few people, which is not the case.Yu Changle was not surprised: "Is it a robbery?" After entering the hinterland of Bingzhou, I have encountered many such facts, and it is not uncommon for people to rob in broad daylight.

It's a pity that they are destined to return empty-handed.Yu Changle raised the curtain and took a look, but was startled: "Huh?"

Isn't that the guard who started it just now?This Luoying City is so interesting, the guards are colluding with the thieves.

Seeing that he found out, the guard seemed to choke, and after a while he said fiercely, "Catch him! When it's sold to Hongyao Pavilion, your money will be indispensable!" He seemed to be threatening, and emphasized the words "Hongyao Pavilion" .

Yu Changle: "..."

He raised an eyebrow, feeling a little speechless.The guards are tall and burly, and a group of men are also vicious.But Yu Changle only felt very shabby. How long had it been since the guard had seen a spiritual practitioner?Dare to rob casually, isn't it afraid that it is a spiritual practice that can defeat a thousand with one enemy?

With the naming style of Hongyao Pavilion, the two of them had seen too much along the way, so they knew where it was just by hearing it.If he remembers correctly, Hongyao Pavilion is the largest brothel in Luoying City...

Wait, the biggest brothel?

Just as Ao Yan was about to stand up, Yu Changle suddenly said, "Wait, I have an idea."

He whispered in Ao Yan's ear, holding back a smile as he spoke. "That's it, okay?"

Ao Yan looked at him, as if he was speechless, and said: "...you can think about it."

The carriage shook violently, as if someone had jumped onto the carriage.

"Everyone inside is not allowed to move!" It seems that someone jumped on the roof of the carriage, and a sharp steel knife was inserted into the ceiling. Yu Changle sat upright, and Ao Yan pretended to be a guard "dedicated to his duty" and went out to fight the thief. They went through a few tricks, and then "fainted" "in comparison".

"He actually fainted from fright! Hahaha!"

"It looks good too, take them all away."

"Little beauty is sitting in the car alone, do you want the uncle to love you?"

Yu Changle felt embarrassed for them, and said without sincerity: "Ah, I'm so scared."

White smoke seeped in from the gap, Yu Changle held his breath and closed his eyes calmly.

"Gollum."

Yu Changle pulled the sword out of the guard's throat, and the throat was cut off, making the guard unable to make a sound.The sword is very narrow and thin, leaving only a small opening in the throat, and a large amount of blood cannot flow out, only a slight sticky sound.Yu Changle said, "I'm sorry."

The guard's eyes were tearing apart, as if he had seen an evil spirit.A beautiful and vicious ghost.

Ao Yan who was sitting on the beam said, "Why are you laughing at him?"

Yu Changle smiled and said, "Say goodbye." If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If the guard didn't want to harm someone, he wouldn't have killed him.

After "coma", he was brought to a remote courtyard in Hongyao Pavilion.There are bushes and flowers in the courtyard, which seems to be a "good thing" not to disturb the guards. It is quiet and there is no one, just to throw the corpse.Yu Changle shook off the blood beads, put Chu Huangjian in the Qiankun ring, and walked into the house.

There was no one else in the room at the moment, there was a comatose teenager in the corner, and several maids who were knocked out.The boy has brown hair, slightly curly hair, extremely fair skin, and has a lovely appearance.

Probably also abducted.But she was not changed into a dress, her hands were tied, her head was tilted, and her long and slightly curled eyelashes cast a small shadow.

There is also a bronze mirror in the room, Yu Changle touched his face in front of the mirror, and commented: "I'm so pretty."

Ao Yan: "..."

The person reflected in the mirror was wearing a red dress, with loose long hair, a little bright red on his lips, and the edges and corners of his face had been modified and blurred, but he didn't look demonic.
