"There is a problem." Chen Liu also lowered his voice and whispered, "Because I offended the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis, I was afraid of his revenge, so I have been secretly investigating his crimes during this period. I found that he was loyal and brave on the surface, and upright. He took it as his mission to support the Ming Dynasty. No matter who undermined the government and endangered the royal family, he would kill without mercy. But behind the scenes, he not only nurtured a large number of loyal underworld figures to help him make money, but also colluded with the Japanese. I found that the ten generals of the Beijing Imperial Guard seemed to be connected with him. And I also found that the incident in which Gu Santong killed 108 masters was probably done by him."
Lu Xiaofeng's face changed when he heard this, his lips trembling a little, and he said, "This is no joke."
"You can check it yourself."
Chapter 207 Air bangs?
"You asked me to come to Hongxiu Tower, are you trying to use me?"
It was not until this moment that Lu Xiaofeng came to his senses.
"How can this be called exploitation?" Chen Liu said somewhat dissatisfiedly. "You enjoy investigating cases, and you seem to have a good relationship with your court. Besides, you don't want chaos in your Ming Dynasty, do you? Zhu Wusi is plotting a rebellion. If you can find evidence of his rebellion, it would be a great achievement! You help your Ming Dynasty solve the treason case, and I can avoid retaliation from Zhu Wusi. It's a win-win situation."
Lu Xiaofeng: ...
What you said makes so much sense, I can't even refute it.
Lu Xiaofeng really didn't want to see chaos in the Ming Dynasty.
"Speaking of which, you Ming Dynasty also have masters at the Heavenly Man Realm to suppress the imperial court, right? Rebellion shouldn't happen. Why would someone still rebel?"
Ever since Chen Liu heard that afternoon that Princess Toshihide of Izumo was planning a marriage alliance with the Ming Emperor, signaling the beginning of the plot for "Number One Under Heaven," he was at least 80% certain that Zhu Wusi would rebel, just as in the original novel. However, this was also what he found most puzzling. With the Ghost King Xu Ruowu suppressing the Ming court, how could Zhu Wusi's rebellion succeed? Unless Xu Ruowu remained aloof.
"Don't you know?" Lu Xiaofeng was a little surprised and said, "Every imperial court in the world is the same. The celestial masters are only responsible for national security and preventing foreign invasions. They generally don't care about domestic rebellions, especially rebellions by the royal family. They will not care at all. For example, the Ghost King only needs to ensure that the Ming Dynasty passes through the hands of the Zhu family. It doesn't matter to him who is the emperor."
Chen Liu suddenly realized that this was the case and it made sense.
After pondering for a while, Chen Liu thought to himself, "Now that there's only news that an envoy from Izumo will be coming to the Ming Dynasty for a marriage alliance, this means Cheng Shifei hasn't been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison yet and has received Gu Santong's teachings, so Gu Santong should still be alive."
A young woman imprisoned in the woodshed of Hongxiu Tower was stunned for a moment. "Who's talking to me? Telling me about the Yun Kingdom envoy's marriage? What does that mean?"
The young girl turned around and looked around. There was definitely no one in the woodshed. She went to the door and looked out through the crack. But she looked in several places and still didn't see anyone.
The girl thought for a moment, then called out softly, "Is anyone there? Who's talking to me?"
After a long pause, the girl raised her voice slightly and said, "Tell me what the Yun Kingdom marriage means? And what does Gu Santong mean?"
No one answered, and the voice disappeared. The young girl was a little confused and thought to herself, "Could it be that I haven't eaten for too long and I'm hallucinating?"
In Chen Liuding's room upstairs in Hongxiu Tower, Chen Liu took out a letter and slapped it into Lu Xiaofeng's hand, saying, "By the way, I also brought this letter written by Taihang Yiwofeng to Zhu Wusi. Here it is for you."
Chen Liu continued, "I've also discovered that Gu Santong is still alive and imprisoned on the ninth floor of the Heavenly Prison. If you have a way to get into the ninth floor, you can go and ask him for confirmation. I think you should be able to find out who killed those 108 masters back then."
Lu Xiaofeng: ...
Lu Xiaofeng looked at the letter in his hand, then looked at Chen Liu, feeling a little amused. Although Chen Liu was using him, this kind of use made him feel comfortable. After all, this was a major case of investigating Zhu Wushi's rebellion! In fact, Lu Xiaofeng did not completely believe Chen Liu. After all, Zhu Wushi had a very good reputation in the Ming Dynasty. The people of the Ming Dynasty believed that he was a loyal minister. Lu Xiaofeng also thought so before. Moreover, Chen Liu was from the Song Dynasty, and he was also worried that this was a trap set by Chen Liu. Of course, no matter whether what Chen Liu said was true or false, whether he believed Chen Liu or not, he would check it out.
This was no joke. If Chen Liu's story was false, that would be best. But if it was true, and Zhu Wusi rebelled, it would surely cause chaos in the Ming Dynasty.
"I'll check it out." There were footsteps outside the door. It seemed that the Western dancer that Chen Liu had called had arrived. Lu Xiaofeng immediately stuffed the letter into his arms.
We could talk about the investigation tomorrow. Right now, the most important thing was to have fun. Furthermore, he was being used by Chen Liu, so tonight he had to order three, four, five, six, seven, or eight dancers to make Chen Liu bleed profusely, otherwise he would be upset.
The door opened, and a group of Western dancers with huge bodies, plump buttocks, slim waists and blue-green eyes followed the madam in and stood in a row.
"Great! Great! Great!" Seeing the row of Western dancers, Lu Xiaofeng clapped his hands three times in a row with an expression of appreciation.
"All of you stay." Lu Xiaofeng said generously.
"All of them stay?" The madam was a little surprised. These were ten dancers from the Western Regions. Although they had thin waists, they were very good at twisting their waists. Could these two bear it?
"Leave everything here. Money is not a problem." Lu Xiaofeng pointed at Chen Liu and said, "He'll pay."
"Okay!" When the madam heard that Chen Liu was going to pay, she knew that everything was fine. He was a wealthy customer with lots of money.
Chen Liu was also somewhat amused and confused. Lu Xiaofeng was seeking revenge on him. However, as long as Lu Xiaofeng was willing to investigate the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis, with his investigative skills, he would have no problem uncovering Zhu Wusi's rebellion, right? As long as Lu Xiaofeng could deal with the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis, it would only cost him a small amount of money, which he didn't mind.
"From now on, any money Lu Xiaofeng spends at your place will be charged to my account." Chen Liu dug into his pocket and pulled out two ten-thousand-liang silver notes. With a flick of his hand, the notes flew to the madam's chest. He said, "If you don't have enough money, ask me for more."
Twenty thousand taels of silver notes, as long as Lu Xiaofeng doesn't compete with others to give it to the little girl Shu Long, even if this is a brothel in the capital, it will be enough for him to have fun for a while.
During this era, virgins in brothels only wore their hair in braids, and would comb their hair into a bun after receiving customers, which was also called "Shu Long".
The madam took the note and glanced at the amount on it, her smile breaking out. Silver was very valuable in those days. Although Hongxiu Lou was a famous brothel in the capital, Chen Liu was the first to be able to afford tens of thousands of taels of silver. Even the most expensive girls in their brothel would be considered very expensive if they could fetch a thousand taels of silver.
Only modern novels would dare to write about buying a girl for tens or even millions of taels of silver. If you could come up with tens or even millions of taels of silver, you could buy a princess home as your wife.
"Good brother." Lu Xiaofeng was overjoyed and slapped Chen Liu on the shoulder. Although Chen Liu had used him, he was still so generous to him. This was the first time besides Hua Manlou that Chen Liu had been so generous to him. Even though he was being used by Chen Liu, he still considered him a brother. And the fact that he could be used proved that he had value to be used. What's more, what Chen Liu told him was something that interested him.
As soon as Lu Xiaofeng finished speaking, there was a sudden chaotic noise outside the door, including a woman's scream, a pimp's roar, the angry shouts of thugs, and a woman yelling.
"Let me out, let me out. I don't want to be a prostitute. My father is the Jiangnan hero Jiang Biehe. Let me out, and when I find my father, I will return the money to you."
Chen Liu:......
[Fuck, air bangs?]
Chapter 208 Jiang Yuyan (Part )
"What's your name?"
"Jiang Yuyan."
【It really is air bangs! 】
Jiang Yuyan's eyes lit up, and she thought to herself, "So it was this person before. I wasn't hallucinating. But what on earth is going on? This person didn't speak, but his words seemed to suddenly appear in my mind."
Jiang Yuyan opened her mouth to say something, but suddenly a great fear came over her. She turned pale with fright and quickly shut her mouth, with a look of fear in her eyes.
Chen Liu saw the panic on Jiang Yuyan's face, but he didn't think much of it. Jiang Yuyan wanted nothing more than to find her father and live a happy life, so she naturally didn't want to enter the brothel. However, she wanted to escape but couldn't. If she disobeyed, she would be starved and beaten. Chen Liu had become her only hope of saving her, so her fear was inevitable.
Jiang Yuyan said with some fear and expectation: "My father is the Jiangnan hero Jiang Biehe. Please, please save me. As long as I find my father, I will definitely repay you."
Chen Liu curled his lips in silence.
【It's good enough that you don't harm me. 】
There is no "air bangs" character in the original novel of Peerless Twins. This is a magical adaptation of the TV series. In fact, Chen Liu doesn't know whether there is "air bangs" at all. Of course, he wouldn't go looking for it if there is. This guy is too cruel. He killed until only the title of the show is left.
However, this was also due to Jiang Yuyan's harsh treatment. She had thought that finding her biological father would allow her to live a happy life as a daughter of a wealthy family. However, upon arriving at the Jiang family, she was not only abused by Jiang Biehe's wife, Liu, but also faced endless chores, a life worse than that of a servant, and was even renamed "Puppy." Jiang Biehe's wife, Liu Xi's goddaughter, possessed a strong personality and held all the power in the family. Fearing Liu Xi's influence, Jiang Biehe followed Liu's orders and even dared not publicly acknowledge Jiang Yuyan's identity.
The most crucial thing is that Jiang Biehe went astray in his practice and, in order to survive, he introduced a deadly poison into her body, causing her to become unrecognizable. These are the reasons that led to her final dark turn.
But now that we have met him, why not save him?
Chen Liu began to think.
[Jiang Yuyan is a person who remembers grudges but never remembers kindness. If I don't save her, she will definitely hold a grudge against me and will definitely seek revenge on me in the future.]
Jiang Yuyan: ...
Am I that bad?
I'm not afraid of her revenge. After all, I'm a time traveler with a system. If I'm afraid of Jiang Yuyan, then my time travel would be in vain. The main thing is to rescue her and let her kill Jiang Biehe. That guy actually used me to improve his reputation, so I'll give him some trouble.
Jiang Yuyan: ...
Let me kill my dad?
[However, to avoid any accidents, we should make more preparations. Jiang Yuyan gained the ability to transform into that great demon king who battles heaven, earth, and air because she obtained the Flower-Transferring Technique from the Six-Ren Divine Sieve. If I can destroy her chance and prevent her from obtaining the Flower-Transferring Technique, wouldn't that be enough? Besides, this is the world of Zongwu. Even if she grows up, she won't be able to do anything special.]
I've already told Lianxing that Jiang Biehe is Jiang Qin, but Yihua Palace seems to have known about it long ago. They probably don't know yet that Jiang Biehe has the Six-Ren Divine Sieve, though. I'll tell Lianxing when I get a chance. Yaoyue has been searching for the Six-Ren Divine Sieve, so she'll definitely take it once she finds out.
Jiang Yuyan didn't quite understand what Chen Liu was thinking, but she knew he was talking about her future. Who knew her future? Whether it was her future or not was a matter of the future. Her most important thing now was to escape the hellhole of the brothel. She absolutely could not become a prostitute.
"Save me, save me, I will repay you." Jiang Yuyan pleaded pitifully.
"Alright, I know the Jiangnan hero. Since you said you're his daughter, I'll save you." Chen Liu pointed at Jiang Yuyan and said to the madam, "I want her. Name your price. Don't be too picky!"
The madam opened her mouth and then closed it again. She had originally wanted to make a fortune, but after hearing Chen Liu's next words, she was worried about offending the rich man. If he didn't come again, she would lose a lot.
After thinking for a while, the madam opened her palm, made the number five, and said, "Master Wang, five hundred taels. This is the price I'll pay for her."
"How can there be so much? You only spent fifteen taels to buy it from me." Jiang Yuyan immediately retorted angrily.
Madam:......
The madam smiled awkwardly and said, "Young Master Wang, this price is already very low. This is because you are a big customer of our building. After I buy her, I will provide her with food and clothing, and even hire famous teachers to teach her. All of these things cost money. And look at how beautiful this girl is. Even if you go out and buy a girl this pretty for five hundred taels, you can't buy such a pretty girl."
"Alright." Chen Liu also knew the market. Maids outside were generally only worth a few dozen taels, and some were even worth more than ten taels. But don't even think about her beauty. With Jiang Yuyan's beauty, it's not impossible to buy her for five hundred taels.
Jiang Yuyan was the illegitimate daughter of Jiang Biehe and the courtesan Xiao Baiyan. At the time, Jiang Biehe had already betrayed Jiang Feng, inherited his estate, married Liu Xi's goddaughter, and gave birth to Jiang Yufeng. Having become wealthy and powerful, Jiang Biehe naturally sought out beautiful courtesans. Xiao Baiyan was a renowned courtesan in the Qinhuai region, so her beauty was naturally not lacking. Given her good genes, Jiang Yuyan's beauty was naturally not bad either; otherwise, she wouldn't have won the emperor's favor after entering the palace.
"Just as you said, bring me the indenture."
Lu Xiaofeng never got involved in Chenliu's purchase of Jiang Yuyan. He just stood by and watched the fun while hugging the beautiful girl from the Western Regions.
"Do you believe what she said?" Lu Xiaofeng asked when he saw that the matter had been concluded.
"I'm not short of money." Chen Liu said.
Lu Xiaofeng: ...
This is a very good and powerful reason.
After the madam brought Jiang Yuyan's indenture contract, Chen Liu returned it to her directly. He also took out a ten-liang gold coin and a few liang of silver and gave them to her, saying, "This money is enough for you to go to Jiangnan to find your father."
Jiang Yuyan didn't take the money and said weakly, "Can you take me to Jiangnan to find my father?"
"Don't push your luck! I'm busy."
"I was captured and sold to a brothel before." Jiang Yuyan said, "I am a weak woman with so much money on me. I definitely couldn't make it to Jiangnan. I was captured and sold again."
Lu Xiaofeng laughed out loud. Chen Liu bought Jiang Yuyan and was now responsible for sending her back. He had really bought himself a lot of trouble.
"How stupid! There are chariot and horse companies everywhere in the capital that go to the south of the Yangtze River. Why don't you just write a letter and have them deliver it to your father and ask him to send someone to pick you up?"
Chen Liu said, "This money is enough for you to rent a house until your father comes to pick you up. Or you can pay a carriage company to take you to Jiangnan to find your father."
"Let's go." Chen Liu embraced a wasp-waisted and giant-bearing Western dancer, touched her chest twice, and said, "Don't disturb my pleasure."
Chapter 209 Jiang Yuyan (Part )
"You seem to have a good relationship with Yihua Palace!"
"It's okay. My fiancée knows Palace Master Lianxing."
