Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11138

Vision City.

Waterside pavilions.

Tang Xiaobao is relatively good in the Tang family. At most, he eats and drinks a lot and is uneducated, but at least there are not many bad things in his character.

Most of the other young masters in the Tang family have bad character.

Ming Xinshui took them to the backstage.

After passing through the corridor, they entered the backyard.

There are independent pavilions here, a total of more than 30 buildings, and each of them is home to a famous beauty, while those who are less famous live in the large pavilions in the front. This is a very obvious difference in treatment.

The pavilion where Hua Xiangyue lives is near the front.

No one usually lives here, so we would rather leave it empty than let it be occupied by anyone, so as to preserve it for the fragrance of flowers and the moon.

The reason is very simple. It is not because Hua Xiangyue has a special relationship with the boss behind Shuixie Tingge, but because Hua Xiangyue can make money for Shuixie Tingge.

"Please come in, three gentlemen."

A maid at the door said tenderly.

Tang Xiaobao had never experienced such service attitude and quality before, so his trip was really worthwhile.

"Will it be inappropriate with so many of us?" Zi Yan whispered.

"Don't worry, it's okay. According to the rules of the Waterside Pavilion, the invited guests can bring some relatives and friends." Ming Xinshui shook his folding fan.

However, Zi Yan understood the implication of Ming Xinshui's words.

Most people may not receive many invitations in their lifetime, so if they finally get to visit, how can they bring others to share the occasion?

Therefore, the real reason why Ming Xinshui was able to bring the two of them here was because of the special relationship between Ming Xinshui and Hua Xiangyue.

They went into the attic.

The attic floor was covered with stalls filled with high-end items.

The weather outside was hot, but when they stepped into the attic, they felt a cool breeze.

"The girl is waiting for you on the second floor."

There is a spacious room on the second floor with a translucent screen blocking the front. Hua Xiangyue is sitting behind the screen with a wooden zither in front of her.

Afterwards, they went to the second floor and sat opposite Hua Xiangyue.

There were fruits and fragrant tea on the tea table. Hua Xiangyue ordered people to remove the screen in front of them.

Zi Yan saw Hua Xiangyue up close and couldn't help but sigh that some people are indeed the darlings of fate. Their natural looks, temperament and charm are just enough to make people fall in love with them. Even though she is a woman, she is unwilling to erase her beauty.

"Three gentlemen, please drink from this cup together."

Hua Xiangyue smiled and then began to play the piano.

She wore small fingertips on her slender fingers and plucked the strings gently, like the sound of clear spring water dripping.

Hua Xiangyue's conversation is very extraordinary. She can talk about topics such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can also chat about those mundane things in the market.

Zi Yan and Ming Xinshui were fine, as they were also very cultured people. The only difference was that Tang Xiaobao had basically not spoken a word since he came in, and had completely become a background board.

However, Tang Xiaobao had no intention of complaining. He was dazzled and completely mesmerized by Hua Xiangyue's charm, so much so that he couldn't even speak.

"That's all for today."

Ming Xinshui poured another glass of wine and raised it.

At this moment, Hua Xiangyue suddenly groaned, her face turned pale, a trace of blood slowly flowed from the corner of her mouth, and her body fell limply to the side.

Zi Yan and Ming Xinshui reacted immediately and they quickly rushed towards the direction where Hua Xiangyue was.

Coming to Hua Xiangyue's side, Zi Yan said solemnly: "Go around, I'll check."

Ming Xinshui immediately went to patrol the surroundings and be on guard, while Zi Yan stretched out his fingers and pressed on the meridians on Hua Xiangyue's neck.

Hua Xiangyue still had a weak heartbeat, but in such a short period of time, she began to be on the verge of death.

She quickly took out a jade bottle and poured out a light red pill from it. She forced the pill into Hua Xiangyue's mouth and then used her internal energy to force it into her stomach.

This is a powerful life-saving pill. It can almost save your life as long as you don't die immediately.

"She's been poisoned, Brother Ming, go check around for clues."

Zi Yan said coldly.

Ming Xinshui quickly patrolled the surroundings.

"Except for a few maids, there are no signs of outsiders coming here."

Ming Xinshui whispered.

"Go and take care of other matters. I think the maids nearby have noticed it."

Zi Yan warned.

The maids nearby were all sent away by Hua Xiangyue, which was self-evident.

Generally, maids would not be allowed to stay around in such occasions.

The guests who come here are all carefully selected, and nothing has happened so far.

Therefore, Hua Xiangyue might not have thought that this would happen at all.

Zi Yan used her internal energy to investigate, and she had almost found out that Hua Xiangyue had no internal energy in her body, nor any signs of martial arts training.

The poison that Hua Xiangyue was poisoned with was extremely strong. Even with the use of the elixir that Zi Yan carried with her, it could only barely save her life, and couldn't even wake her up.

In order not to disturb her body, Zi Yan had to give up the idea of ​​taking Hua Xiangyue away.

Soon, Ming Xinshui came over with a woman in green.

When passing by Tang Xiaobao, Ming Xinshui knocked him out with a palm... to avoid this guy getting in the way.

"Hey, Xiangyue, what happened?"

The woman in green was the madam in front, and she was considered the most capable subordinate of the boss behind the scenes. She was terrified now, and her fingers were shaking when she saw Hua Xiangyue's appearance.

"It's okay, arrange a room..."

Purple smoke.

I don’t know what Ming Xinshui said to the old brothel owner, but when the old brothel owner heard Zi Yan’s words, she didn’t refute him, but hurried to prepare the room.

Hua Xiangyue's room was in a nearby corner. After the madam came back, she brought two maids with her.

"Be careful."

Afterwards, Zi Yan began to instruct the old brothel owner to carry Hua Xiangyue into the room.

After closing the doors and windows, Zi Yan and Ming Xin Shui entered the room.

"Brother Ming, do you know who is the boss behind this waterside pavilion?" Zi Yan frowned.

"The original boss was Han Xiezi. Now that Han Xiezi is gone, the current city lord should be Nie Xinran." Ming Xinshui said.

"I see."

Zi Yan finally understood.

This place actually belongs to Han Xiezi, and Han Xiezi's property essentially belongs to the City Lord's Mansion. It was previously owned by the Yang family of Bozhou, and is now under the control of the imperial court.

With such a large area and such a prime location, it is no wonder that pavilions and pavilions could be built. This would have been impossible without the full support of the government.

"There was no trace, it was like the poison came out of thin air."

Ming Xinshui's eyes were solemn.

"Let me think."

Zi Yan paced in the room. Now that Hua Xiangyue's condition had stabilized, the next step was to find out why Hua Xiangyue was poisoned.

"What medicine has Hua Xiangyue been taking recently? Or, what is her usual habit of taking medicine?"

Zi Yan asked.
