Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 647 When the god of death appears, he will die after all

The second floor of the West Building.

Among the five pavilions in Fanlou, this is the main building. In history, Zhao Ji's throne was later set up, with magnificent furnishings.

Gao Lian had indeed made arrangements long ago. When he entered the courtyard in the middle, he was greeted by a doctor of tea and wine, and even a shopkeeper.

Gao Qiu nodded reservedly, and introduced: "Mr. Lin is my honored guest at today's banquet. Please treat him carefully. Is Mrs. Cui ready?"

The shopkeeper nodded again and again: "Waiting for the two big drivers early, please take a seat with Mr. Lin!"

Gao Lian waved his hand in satisfaction, and various fruit cold dishes were served immediately. The doctor of tea served hot tea first, and the doctor of wine began to warm the wine. Together, without conflict.

Li Yan looked at the drink: "Is this Hezhi wine?"

Dr. Jiu said: "Guest's eyesight, this is exactly the purpose of the harmony. The strength of the wine is long, like rain from the heaven of the imperial decree, and the aftertaste is endless!"

Officials like to make a good show. Gao Qiu took the wine glass, took a sip, and vaguely felt that Zhao Ji's trust in him was like a surging river, and immediately praised: "Good wine!"

"Ding-dong-"

While tasting the wine, several graceful figures came to the outside of the screen, the strings of the pipa twitched, the teeth were tapped lightly, and the brisk music sounded, just like pearls falling on a jade plate.

Gao Qiu raised his neck and widened his eyes: "Miss Cui is here?"

Li Yan has read a lot of books recently, and he also has a good understanding of the rhythm. He heard that it was a ditty for drinking orders. Knowing that the famous lady can't play this, he smiled and said, "This is a hot spot."

Gao Qiu said with a smile: "Have you come out after a long time? Mrs. Cui is indeed a strong contender for Mrs. Oiran!"

Li Yan also nodded when he heard the beautiful sound of the pipa.

Regardless of the price, if you want to appreciate art, it is indeed the best choice to come to a courtyard like Fan Lou.

This kind of level can only be used as a foreshadowing, and it will increase the expectations of the guests. If it cannot satisfy people, it will smash the signboard. This shows that this lady Cui is full of confidence. Looking forward to it, then I am afraid that it will be lingering in my dreams, and it will be unforgettable for a long time.

In the hall, the cups were changed, Li Yan drank the wine, if the breeze was blowing on his face, he would just taste the taste, and he would not be a little drunk at all, but Gao Lian showed a slightly drunk posture, in a happy mood, drinking fast, already It's a bit over the top.

But what made him frown was that it was still those musicians behind the screen who added to the fun. Teams of dancers came to dance in the hall, but there was still no sign of Mrs. Cui.

He originally didn't want to lose his composure in front of Li Yan, but after waiting and waiting, he finally became impatient: "What's going on? Where's Mrs. Cui! Shopkeeper!!"

The tea and wine doctor who was serving at the side changed his face slightly, and the servants around him also hurriedly retreated, and soon the shopkeeper came in a hurry and apologized: "Ms. Haihan! Haihan!"

Gao Qiu was very disappointed, and even felt ashamed, lowered his voice, and said through gritted teeth: "Don't tell me this, you go and call Mrs. Cui here now, and let her perform well, otherwise it will be Fan Lou, my emperor. Cheng Si can also make you drive uncomfortable!"

If it was threatened by someone else, the shopkeeper might not be doing anything. After all, Fanlou is the head of the [-] official stores, not to mention the background of the imperial court support, how many stable powerful customers can provide protection for it, but Huangcheng Secretary still Really different.

What's more, Gao Qi's meaning is obvious. He can't make Fan Lou close, but he can make it uncomfortable. Once Fan Lou is really uncomfortable, the first one to bear the brunt is naturally the shopkeeper who didn't receive the distinguished guests well. He has already thought about the rest of his life. I couldn't even come to Fanlou to spend a miserable life, and suddenly I was in a cold sweat.

At this moment, Li Yan said from the side: "Since Mrs. Cui is ill, I will go and find another one. Could it be that there is not a lady who can show skills in such a huge Fanlou?"

The shopkeeper was startled, and looked at Gao Qiu, who frowned and said: "This..."

Li Yandao: "It's about relaxing and having fun, why bother making trouble, and you don't have to haggle with them if you raise a little bit."

Gao Qiu remembered that he was the blue sky in the eyes of the common people, and the wrinkles on his face stretched out, and he said apologetically, "Mr. Lin's words are very true, but in the end it was my poor reception, I am ashamed!"

After all, he glared at the shopkeeper fiercely: "Why don't you go soon?"

The shopkeeper seemed to be amnesty: "Yes! Yes! Please wait, two distinguished guests!"

Gao Qiu squinted at this person walking away quickly, and still snorted displeasedly, showing unwillingness: "I don't believe such a coincidence, is this Mrs. Cui avoiding me on purpose? A mere prostitute, really Who do you think you are?"

Thinking of this, he recruited his subordinates and gave them detailed instructions.

Li Yan found that with his own words, the blood light on Gao Qiu's head dissipated, but when Gao Qiu was angry and was not ready to let it go, the blood light gathered again.

Combined with the cloudy clouds over Ding Run's head before, and the changes in the bloody disaster above Gao Qiu's head now, Li Yan's understanding of supernatural powers became clearer and clearer.

This is the ability comprehended from Zhan Tan Gongde Buddha Fa. Judging from the current effect, it can be seen as a blessing, calamity and calamity, and it is a perfect match with [Apprentice Death God].

[Apprentice Reaper] can sense the outbreak of the case, but the scope is wide. For example, this fan building is full of people coming and going, thousands of people are in it. If the talent is only triggered, unless the murder happens nearby, otherwise it will be stopped. no.

So this talent is actually mainly to solve the case after the fact, it is difficult to prevent it in advance, and the supernatural power of Zhantan Gongde Buddha can see the misfortunes and fortunes of the day and night, so I hope to give early warning and avoid disasters.

The combination of the two, echoing one before the other, the talent locks the timing, and the supernatural power locks the target, it is simply an excellent cooperation.

"At present, it seems that the murder case that was supposed to happen has a deep connection with that Mrs. Cui..."

Li Yan thought for a while, looked at Dr. Jiu who was serving beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Has Mrs. Cui been performing in Fan Lou recently?"

Dr. Jiu hurriedly replied: "So that the high officials know, this lady Cui is originally a red card of Longquanfang in Xiaotianshui Lane. Longquanfang is a small household and can't get out of the oiran, so she entered my Fanlou. It has only been more than a month... ..."

Li Yan nodded slightly.

The competition among prostitutes is also extremely fierce. There is undoubtedly a gap between a red card lady and an oiran, and an oiran is not only about appearance and talent, but the key is the support of the main force behind it. In theory, every red card has the qualifications to be an oiran. But Xiaomen Xiaolou could not provide the oiran. Obviously, this lady Cui came to Fanlou to perform, on the one hand, to gain fame, and on the other hand, she may also want to find a financial backer and make her the next oiran.

Thinking of the famous prostitutes in this era in history, Li Yan asked: "Does this Mrs. Cui have a stage name?"

Dr. Jiu replied: "Ms. Cui's name is Nianyue, and many people call her Lady Nianyue."

Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "It's really Cui Nianyue..."

The famous prostitutes in the Huizong period of the Northern Song Dynasty, one version is Li Shishi, Cui Nianyue, and Zhao Yuannu, and the other version is Li Shishi, Feng Yinu, Xu Poxi, and Sun Sansi.

Of course, it is also possible that these two versions do not conflict. The former is in the early and middle period of Huizong's reign, and the latter is in the late period close to the shame of Jingkang.

In this way, in the history that has not changed, Mrs. Cui has succeeded.

Now with a possible homicide involved, what's the key to change?
Just as he was thinking about it, the shopkeeper hurried in, and a curvaceous lady came in style, followed by two bands of musicians, holding various instruments of pipa, shengxiao, and introduced: "This is the band of Yuyinfang. Ma'am, I don't see non-visited guests on weekdays, so please raise your eyebrows and Mr. Lin to appreciate their skills!"

Gao Li looked at this gorgeous and generous Jade Lady, and then looked at other musicians with the same good looks. If he hadn't made a reservation before, he would be satisfied, but now he is a little displeased with this kind of behavior that cannot be combined in quality and quantity, but Did not refuse: "Let's stay!"

The shopkeeper left as if he had received an amnesty, and Yu Niangzi gave a blessing, and led the band to start performing.

This kind of red card is indeed extraordinary. Whether it is dancing or music, it has been improved several times in an instant. Gao Qiu, who has been trying to improve his talents in various fields recently, finally calmed down and clapped his hands in praise: "Mr. Shuangjue's lady, we will come here more often in the future to cultivate our bodies and minds."

Li Yandao: "There are a lot of gossip in the place of entertainment, I'm afraid it won't be able to cultivate the body and mind here, but it will cause gossip instead."

Gao Qiu hurriedly said: "Mr. Lin, what is this? It was an accident just now. I have already sent my subordinates to determine whether Mrs. Cui has a sudden illness. If it is, it's fine. I'm not unreasonable. If No, hum!"

Li Yan knew that he had misunderstood, but this kind of place of entertainment is indeed the most prone to similar disputes. If there is a disagreement, there will be a big fight, and there will be many deadly enemies, so he stops talking and continues to appreciate.

Gao Qiu intends to get closer, and the two enjoy the dance and music while drinking and talking and laughing. The atmosphere gradually becomes warmer until Huang Chengsi's subordinates return.

Hearing some whispers from his subordinates, Gao Qiu's complexion changed drastically, he endured and endured, finally he couldn't hold back, drunkenness appeared on his face, and he yelled, "How unreasonable!"

Li Yan looked over: "What's wrong?"

Gao Qiu's chest heaved violently, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Wu Juhou's brats, and the young boss of General Hou's guild, forced Mrs. Cui to go to the North Tower. This is clearly against me!"

"And that prostitute, she is sick to me, but she is a fart to those people! The magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, the six major chambers of commerce, is really a big face. She should have come here just now, and dealt with this bitch. slave girl!"

"Forcibly invite..."

Li Yan shook his head secretly, knowing that he might not be able to make it in time, and then looked at the 【Apprentice Reaper】 which was still in effect, and had to admire the power of this talent: "Supernatural powers are no match for luck, once Reaper comes out, people will die after all. !"
