Holy Bone

Chapter 46 Rouge Powder
in Chang County.

For ordinary yamen servants, the monthly money is two coins of silver.

The treatment of the class leader is slightly better, and he can get three coins.

The three major catchers have the best treatment and benefits, and they can get five coins per month.

If the subsidy for working and food is added, the monthly payment will almost catch up with six coins.

Work and food silver, similar to food and housing travel subsidies, are supported by the local yamen themselves, not by the imperial court.

Like ordinary yamen servants, there are also white servants who have a lower monthly payment, and the monthly payment is only one dollar per month.

Baiji are temporary workers outside the establishment.

Temporary workers who have pots to carry, and those who have merits to snatch them up, are talking about white laborers who let people prostitute for nothing.

Therefore, the place where Zheng Yuanhu lives is not secluded. On the contrary, it is a large courtyard with high walls and tile roofs, and the location is quite prosperous.

Zheng Yuanhu is one of the three major catchers in Changxian County. Changxian Wharf Gang, gangsters, and underworld gangsters all rely on the three catchers with high martial arts skills to frighten him.Therefore, in order to retain talents, when the three headhunters bought real estate in Chang County, the yali had a special subsidy, which was equivalent to half selling and half giving away.

Because talent has been scarce since ancient times, talents are sought after no matter where they go.

Feng Zhaotou came to knock on the door early in the morning, and after calling Jin An and the old Taoist priest solemnly, he went straight to Zheng Zhaotou's house.

On the way, Feng Zhaotou also briefly introduced the situation of Zheng Zhaotou.

It's just that on the way, no matter what Jin An and the old Taoist ask, if Feng Zhaotou has found anything, why does Feng Zhaotou have a solemn expression on your face?

However, Feng Zhaotou always had a serious look on his face. He only said that he would not be able to tell for a while now, but he could tell when he went to Zheng Zhaotou's house.

The group of three passed through several markets and finally arrived at Zheng Yuanhu's house.

Feng Zhaotou knocked on the door with his finger.

Knock~knock~knock~knock!
Three slow and one rapid rhythm knocking on the door.

Hearing the knock on the door, the sound of footsteps and the sound of opening the door immediately came from behind the door.

"Feng Zhaotou."

It was a famous yamen who opened the door. Jin An and the old Taoist looked at each other with surprise.

"Go ahead and talk about it."

Feng Zhaotou walked forward, and when Du entered the door, the door behind him was closed again.

Passing through the yard, I saw in the lobby, a very plain old man, who had been controlled by two yamen with swords.

"This is the concierge hired by Zheng Zoutou. Zheng Zoutou is usually busy with official business, and the house is often empty, so he hired a concierge to watch the house for him."

"Regarding the identity of this concierge, Daochang Chen and Young Master Jin An, don't have to worry. He is a local from Chang County and has been working as a handyman for others. He has never left the boundary of Chang County. ."

"His identity is clean."

"Furthermore, I have also had him examined. His armpits and chest are normal, and there is no sign of evil possession."

Jin An was surprised to see all kinds of things in front of him.

He wasn't surprised that Feng Zutou found out Zheng Zutou's family so quickly.

But I was surprised at how efficient Feng Chutou's work was. I just made up my mind to investigate Zheng Zutou last night. The next morning, I brought someone to control the servants of Zheng Zutou's family...

It also occupied Zheng Zhao's home...

Thinking of Feng Zhaotou's dignified expression on his face along the way, Jin An couldn't help but wonder, what major discovery did Feng Zhaotou make at Zheng Zhaotou's house that made him so cautious?Even Zheng Zhaotou's subordinates were controlled?

Jin An's heart was puzzled, and he soon had an answer.

Feng Zhaotou took Jin An and the old Taoist priest all the way to the main room where Zheng Yuanhu lived.

As a result, just before Zheng Yuanhu's main room, Jin An subconsciously squatted and sniffed in the air.

There was an unspeakable smell in the air.

Jin An pondered for a moment, and then immediately knew what the smell was. It was a very strong, very strong woman's rouge powder smell.

When everyone came to the door of Zheng Yuanhu's room, the smell of the woman's rouge became stronger, and it was confirmed that it was indeed overflowing from Zheng Yuanhu's room.

Jin An was surprised.

Because according to what Feng Zhaotou said, there is only an old concierge in Zheng Yuanhu's family, so where is the rouge used by the female family members?

Rouge, like perfume, is so thick that it only stinks.

Ok?
Something is wrong!
"You don't need to smell it, little brother, it's not the stink of rouge that is so thick, it's the smell of corpse!"

"Someone is using rouge to cover up the corpse aura!"

The one who spoke was a solemn, serious old Taoist priest.

Feng Zhaotou, who was on the side, politely and repeatedly confirmed to the old Taoist whether this was really corpse qi?

Old Taoist priest: "Old Taoist, I traveled south and north, and encountered grave removal, plague, floods and corpses for ten miles. I have seen all kinds of corpses. Burial gas, coffin gas, and corpse gas are as familiar to Taoist me as everyday meals. Taoist me Dare to make a ticket, this is definitely a corpse gas!"

Feng Zhaotou was thoughtful, but he did not speak, but winked, and immediately a yamen came forward and pushed open the door of Zheng Yuanhu's room.

moment!

A suffocating rouge stench hits the nostrils.

After waiting for the air to circulate and the smell dissipated for a while, under the lead of Feng Zhaotou, Jin An and the old Taoist also followed into the room.

The furnishings in the room are not complicated.

Beds, barriers, teapots, tables, stools...

"Ok?"

It was a table with a bronze mirror on it.

In front of the bronze mirror, boxes of all kinds of rouge and incense powder are piled up.

These rouge brands are messy, there are drunk flower prints, moon peony, Yizhi, red ink chrysanthemum... There are also several brands of incense powder. Don't ask why Jinan can recognize all the rouge and incense powder used by these women.

Because he just bought a box of Red Moon Rouge with Zhang Lingyun some time ago.

At that time, the shop owner gave him a forced sale, and Jin An finally bought a box of the most famous red moon rouge among the noble ladies of the northern capital and the ladies.Of course, the price is also the most expensive.

Sometimes it's best for a man to look good in front of the opposite sex.

Business bosses like this kind of men and women together.

"These rouge and fragrant powder are all empty. With so many empty boxes, I'm afraid that ordinary women use flour on their cheeks every day, and they may not be able to use them all in a year?"

The old Taoist smashed his mouth, he was amazed.

"I think these rouge and powder are not necessarily for women." Jin An squatted half-squatting in front of the bronze mirror as if he was imitating something, taking pictures of himself in the bronze mirror.

Then he carefully observed the empty boxes of rouge and incense powder one by one, and continued: "Because women are particularly sensitive to rouge and incense powder, the smell of rouge is different, some are light and elegant, some are clear and fragrant, some are thick but not greasy. Wait, breaking it down can make people dazzled."

"It is precisely because of this that women are particularly loyal to a certain brand of rouge or powder. Once they are selected, it is difficult to change their minds."

"So it's definitely not like here. No matter what brand of rouge and incense powder is bought and used, it seems that the other party is a complete layman and does not understand the delicate mind of women. Usually only men will treat women's rouge and incense powder. Fans are not interested, and there is very little research..."

"!"

When Jin An said this, his body froze.

A shuddering chill rose from behind and went straight to the back of his head.

"Feng Zhaotou, do you suspect that Zheng Zhaotou is already dead, and that something is borrowing the corpse to return the sun, and has been pretending to be Zheng Zhaotou to sneak into the yamen?"
