MTL - Cannon Fodder Counterattack Investigation System-Chapter 77
The pair of brothers who sold themselves to bury their father were naturally played by Zhou Ziruo and Mu Qijun.
Maybe Zheng Qingtian really got some clues about Zheng Yu's death, but he couldn't extract information from the iron-walled yamen by himself, so the two of them almost didn't need to think about it, so they made an unanimous decision and started the investigation from Zhuohua's case.
As a man, it is easy to enter Yunlanxuan, but even if Mu Qijun stole a lot of money from his disciples after taking charge of Qingyang Mountain, it is estimated that the number one golden cave in the south of the Yangtze River will be lost in two nights, and as a guest I have limited mobility, what useful news can I find?
After discussing and summing up, the two decided that they must mix in Yunlanxuan. As for how to get in, it's not difficult. If you haven't eaten pork or seen a pig, can't you run away? There are so many ancient costume dramas in my previous life that I didn’t watch for nothing. Selling one’s body to bury one’s father, one’s mother, one’s whole family is easy to come by.
The two first went to the shroud shop in the city to buy two mourning clothes and a white cloth for the shroud. At the checkout, Mu Qijun curiously asked Zhou Ziruo which pot was not open and which pot he remembered. It turned out that Zhou Ziruo was not sunny today. His face was darker as the rain continued.
Zhou Ziruo's long-awaited clothing section is currently a scam, why say at present? That's because the clothing section will be upgraded with his level, and now only underwear is sold in it! The clothing spree will actually be a cat outfit. That's not fun, it's because there is less fabric in the underwear!
After changing the mourning clothes, they went to the city to find a beggar to play the role of the deceased father. Unexpectedly, selling one’s body to bury one’s father was also a promising business in Tongyang City. Has taken over many jobs.
Everything is going well, the only trouble is that Bai Shunhua brought them here the day before yesterday. Mother Yun and many girls have seen their faces, so the two had to make their faces so ugly that they couldn't bear to look directly at them. Mother Yun made her a young lady, killing two birds with one stone.
After the preparations were completed, the two came to Yunlanxuan to take out food to bury their father. As expected, they got their wish and were bought in.
Zhou Ziruo couldn't help feeling proud of his foolproof plan, immersed in self-satisfaction.
"What's your name?"
Zijin's gentle voice brought her back to her mind, and Zhou Ziruo quickly replied: "Little Ah Ruo!"
"Ah Ruo...raise your head." Zijin scrutinized Zhou Ziruo with clear and juan eyes, and suddenly asked in doubt, "Have we met somewhere?"
Zhou Ziruo's heart was full of alarm bells, he didn't expect to be recognized after ruining his face like this, he said with a dry smile: "How, how is it possible... The little one is so ugly, if you see it, you will never forget it!"
Zijin raised her eyebrows slightly: "A beauty and ugliness are nothing more than the skin on the bones. Like the origin, it is not up to you to decide. Character and talent are treasures that belong to you completely. You don't have to feel inferior to others."
"What the young master said is, what he said is..." Zhou Ziruo repeatedly echoed.
There was originally a little boy serving Zijin, but he was scared away by the murder, so Zhou Ziruo became Zijin's personal boy. Mother Yun probably heard something from Zhang Fu, and came to see how ugly Zhou Ziruo was, and then wanted to change Zijin to a pretty girl, but Zijin refused lightly.
Mu Qijun was assigned to work as a long-term worker in the backyard. On the night he first entered Yunlanxuan, he bought other long-term workers with a supper to help him with heavy work on weekdays, while he pretended to do some sweeping and watering work, waiting for Zhou Zi If you come to communicate with each other.
Zheng Qingtian, who failed to show his strength in the murder of his nephew, put all his energy into catching the murderer this time, punished Yunlanxuan by the way, and shut down Yunlanxuan for three days to thoroughly investigate all personnel.
Three days later, the number of customers of Yunlanxuan opened was nearly 90% less!
Although Zheng Yu's case was kept secret, Zhuohua's death quickly spread throughout Tongyang City. The ancients were superstitious, and the guests tabooed that Yun Lanxuan's death would be unclean. I dare not come to drink flower wine.
Yunlanxuan's business is not good, and the people in the whole building are not active. Apart from entertaining a few guests at night, the girls and boys sleep with the door tightly closed during the day, and they rarely move around among each other. up. This directly affected the progress of the investigation. The people in the building did not make money and were not in the mood to chat. Zhou Ziruo didn't even listen to the corners. In addition, Mother Yun strictly ordered not to discuss the case in private. The long-term maids were very tight-lipped. Half a month has passed without any substantial gains.
The one with a different style of painting from others is Zijin. Yun Lanxuan has no business, and he is not in a hurry to reduce his income. He paints and plays the piano in his room very elegantly all day long, and sometimes he takes a book to explain to Zhou Ziruo the principles of life and death. gosh.
This young master Zijin is really noble, even though he is in a brothel, he is unwilling to be depraved, and maintains a pure disposition that emerges from the mud and is not stained. It's a pity that the morals of the world are not fair. Sometimes you can see who you are by looking at your face and don't look at your character and talent. Otherwise, he can play the guqin so well, why should he stay in the brothel as a young man?
For Yun's mother to be able to manage Yunlanxuan into the most famous brothel in the south of the Yangtze River, she must have experienced many storms and has real skills.
Sure enough, after more than 20 days of depression, Yunlanxuan was full of people again.
At night, the guests squeezed their heads outside the gate of Yunlanxuan, and Yunlanxuan, who had been left out for nearly a month, refused to open the door until Xushi. The people in several brothels are jealous!
Why did Yunlanxuan, which everyone avoids, suddenly become a favorite again?
The answer lies in the bronzing invitations held in the hands of the guests.
Mother Yun handed out invitations to all the dignitaries in the city, inviting them to bring their friends to Yunlan Pavilion to enjoy the wonderful singing and dancing tonight.
Where can't I watch singing and dancing? Why go to Yunlanxuan? Zhuohua, who was good at dancing, is dead, Qingluo's dancing is two points inferior after all, it's not enough for people to let go of their taboos and come to the door again. Besides, there are a few people who really appreciate singing and dancing in the brothel. Isn't everyone rushing to that kind of thing?
But it was stated in the invitation that the dancer tonight is unusual, he is a newcomer with a beautiful appearance, and his dance is even better than Zhuohua!
This is a bit heart-wrenching.
However, brothel propaganda always exaggerates a bit. No matter how beautiful a man is, how can he be so beautiful? No matter how good the dancing posture is, how can it be better than a soft and slender woman?
But it was stated in the invitation that this young lady came from the capital and once performed dances for princes and nobles!
This is a big deal!
Who doesn't want to watch the dance that the royal relatives have seen?
So, the guests who received the invitation spread the word that a young lady favored by the princes and grandchildren of the capital came to Yunlanxuan, and the news spread all over the corner for a long time. The rumors praised the young lady as a fairy descended from the world, and her dancing posture was comparable to that of Chang'e. Feitian, not to mention the previous guests, even those who have never visited Huajie and Liuxiang all want to come and see it!
Yun Lanxuan has always had hard power, but his reputation has been dragged down by the murder case, but in the end superstition is just a psychological barrier, and it will cease to exist after getting over it. Using the young lady from the capital as a gimmick to attract the guests, all the guests have come, and any taboos have been broken. After tonight, who cares about the superstition?
Zhou Ziruo had to admire Yun's mother's business acumen.
But it's not entirely true that Mother Yun is using the young lady from the capital as a gimmick. Because it is said that the little girl is really beautiful and charming, and her dancing posture is amazing!
The reason why it is "supposedly" is because the young lady has lived in Yunlanxuan for several days, and Zhou Ziruo has never even seen an eyebrow, and only occasionally heard that the young lady's name is Li Sheng.
Mama Yun loved that Lisheng very much. On the day she got it back, she was wrapped up tightly and covered her face. As soon as she entered the gate, she was stuffed into a specially prepared small building to live alone. Don't mention Zhou Ziruo, I'm afraid. Except for Mama Yun, no one has ever seen his true face in Mount Lu!
This kind of prudence and mystery made Zhou Ziruo feel itchy to observe what kind of a **** he is, not to mention the guests outside who surrounded Yunlanxuan before the time came.
Seeing that Yun Lanxuan was about to come back to life, but at this moment, the building was in a mess.
Mother Yun's face was pale with anxiety, her huge body was about to leave the ground and jump up and down, while all the servants, maids, long-term workers and even girls and young men in the building were running around in a hurry.
"What about this person? What about such a big person?? Look for me carefully, don't let go of any corner!"
Everyone is looking for one person, and that is tonight's protagonist, Li Sheng.
Half an hour ago, Mother Yun went to the Qingfeng Building where Li Sheng lived to ask him if he had prepared tonight's performance, and brought him to the main building by the way, but when he arrived, the whole Qingfeng Building was empty, and there was no Li Sheng at all. shadow.
Qingfenglou has everything needed for daily life, and generally there is no need to leave at all. If Li Sheng didn't run away by herself, then she was robbed by someone!
All the guests outside the door came to see Li Sheng tonight. If Li Sheng disappeared, all the wealthy elders in the city would be wiped out, and Yun Lan Xuan would be able to close its doors tomorrow!
Mother Yun immediately mobilized the entire Yunlanxuan, regardless of whether she was up or down, to find Li Sheng.
Although Zhou Ziruo is Zijin's child, he can only be expropriated at this critical moment. If Yunlanxuan closed the door, there would be basically no way to investigate this case, so Zhou Ziruo was also working hard to find someone. He really doesn't understand what this little girl is running around like.
There were footsteps and shouts everywhere in the building, just the sound of joy that no one had found it. The small buildings where the girls and the boys live are separate. Zhou Ziruo, after looking for a building for the boys, suddenly remembered that the house of one of the deceased, Zhuo Hua, was in the small building next to the girls. .
There are so many people looking for Lisheng, and there would be no shortage without him, so he fished in troubled waters and entered Zhuohua's room.
The girl's room is really different from the little girl's, and when she opens the door, her eyes are full of red and pink. Zhou Ziruo came in quickly, observed the people looking for Li Sheng through the crack of the door, and made sure no one was paying attention, he gently closed the door and locked it.
Just when he was about to start searching the house, two charming chuckles sounded in the silent room.
