Chapter 70

Rolling brothels, warm east wind, poplar flowers fluttering in a sunny day.The fragrance of the orchid sleeves fades, the tents turn red, and the embroidered pillows rotate and shift.

Although Zhu Qizhen came to the brothel for the first time, he acted calmly, sitting by the side and looking at the woman in front of him with a smile.

She has fair skin and a good complexion. Although she is not as beautiful as Empress Qian, she has a unique charm.

Especially a pair of winking eyes, full of affection, with a frown and a smile, captivating the soul.

"Young master looks a bit unfamiliar, don't you come here often?"

"The girl has good eyesight!"

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said: "I am from Taiyuan Prefecture. After studying for several years, I found that I am not suitable for studying. I just want to inherit the family business and come out to do some business."

"Oh?" Miss Gu Xi poured a cup of tea and handed it over, and said calmly, "What kind of business does the young master's family do?"

Zhu Qizhen took the teacup and drank it down in one gulp, saying: "Open a warehouse, take the goods!"

Gu Xi poured another cup of tea and said, "These days are in chaos, so business is not easy, right?"

"You don't know about that!" Zhu Qizhen smiled mysteriously and said, "The more wars there are, the more prosperous the business will be!"

Gu Xi raised her hand to straighten her messy hair, and said softly, "Let's not talk about this anymore, let me sing a song for you, I don't know what song you want to hear?"

"I will listen to whatever the girl sings!"

Gu Xi smiled, her eyes were tender, she picked up the pipa and played it.

After listening to a few little songs one after another, seeing that it was getting late, Zhu Qizhen stood up and said: "I have an appointment with someone to discuss business next night, and I will talk to the girl tomorrow about Fengyue."

Miss Gu Xi got up and gave a blessing, and said: "My family is waiting for you, sir!"

Coming out of Ting Yu Pavilion, Yuan Bin asked, "Your Majesty, what did you find?"

"That woman has a problem!"

"How did the emperor find out?"

"The smell of makeup on her body is very unique, at least it means that she has been to the scene of the crime!"

"Your Majesty!" Yuan Bin suddenly became nervous and whispered, "We have tails behind us!"

Zhu Qizhen said calmly: "Let him follow, let's find a place to eat first!"

Fan Zhong was puzzled and said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, it's time to go back to the palace!"

"I can't go back now, let's talk about it after dinner!"

The three of them strolled around and returned to the Dingxiang Building. Zhu Qizhen remembered that the donkey meat here was good, so he walked in.

After arriving at the private room on the second floor, Yuan Bin walked slowly to the window and glanced down.

"Your Majesty, it's the one in gray who followed us all the way from Tingyu Pavilion."

"He didn't come up?"

"I waited at the door for a while and then left."

"Follow him, there is a big fish behind him!"

"Yes!"

Yuan Bin turned and went downstairs, Fan Zhong asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, since that woman has a problem, why didn't Jin Yiwei directly arrest her?"

"It's not that simple!" Zhu Qizhen took a sip from the tea bowl, and said thoughtfully, "I have a feeling that there must be some unknown organization behind this person, if we act rashly, It is very likely that they will scare the snakes, and I will wipe them all out!"

Fan Zhong scratched his head and said, "It's just a theft case of murder and murder. It's not that complicated, right?"

"Think about it, if you dare to kill people and steal goods in the capital, and you can hide such a large batch of goods overnight, there will never be fewer people involved. Moreover, there is still one thing I still can't understand, why they choose Are these two going to do it?"

"Maybe... is there any grievance?"

"Do you still remember what those two said when we had dinner here yesterday?"

Fan Zhong nodded and said, "According to what they said, it seems that they are doing business with the Mongols?"

At this time, Yuan Bin returned in a hurry and said, "Your Majesty, I have made arrangements for my ministers, and the results will be available tomorrow."

Zhu Qizhen suddenly asked: "Is there a possibility that they are specially targeting such profiteers, because the business behind these people is shady, even if something happens, they dare not speak out... By the way, what kind of warehouse?" Has the station reported the crime yet?"

Yuan Bin thought for a while and said, "It seems not!"

"Check!" Zhu Qizhen seemed to have discovered something, "Check the people behind that warehouse, there must be something wrong!"

Yuan Bin nodded and said, "I understand!"

At this time, the voice of the shop assistant came from the stairs: "Donkey meat in five-spice sauce, braised donkey intestines, stir-fried donkey kidney, donkey whip and wolfberry soup, guest officer, your dishes are all ready, please use it slowly!"

After setting the dishes, the man turned around and went downstairs.

Zhu Qizhen looked at Yuan Bin, then at Fan Zhong, and asked, "Who ordered the dishes?"

The two looked at each other, thinking hard, who ordered the food just now?

Yuan Bin looked at the dishes on the table and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, is there any problem with this dish?"

Zhu Qizhen picked up a piece of kidney flower and put it in his mouth, chewing and said: "It's kidney flower and whip soup, who do you look down on?"

Yuan Bin: ...

Fan Zhong: ...

After returning to the palace, Zhu Qizhen thought over and over again, and always felt that this matter was no small matter, such a clean and neat modus operandi must hide an extremely strict organization behind it.

"Wynn!"

Wynn was making tea, and hurriedly replied: "The servant is here!"

"Xuan Jue's voice guard commanded Yang Zhicong to enter the palace!"

Wynn's expression froze. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been an extremely secretive organization, which is a bit more mysterious than Jinyiwei.

This is a mysterious team composed entirely of deaf-mute people, Jueshengwei!

Unlike Jinyiwei, Jueshengwei does not have a separate yamen and special official uniforms, but is scattered in various places among the people, connected by their unique internal communication methods.Its commander has the right to deliver the secret memorial directly to the emperor. As long as the memorial is stamped with the seal of Jueshengwei, no one has the right to open it except the emperor himself.

Therefore, except for a very small number of insiders, others have no idea of ​​the existence of such a team.

It was getting late, but the Meridian Gate was still not closed, and the commander of the imperial guards, Fan Zhong, was guarding the gate himself.

Under the night, Wynn hurried over with a young man in his 20s.

Fan Zhong took a closer look. This person was wearing a coarse blouse, and he looked no different from ordinary people. If he put it on the street, no one would take a second look.Who knows, this person is the fourth commander of Jueshengwei.

Yang Zhicong made a gesture, Fan Zhong nodded, and led the two into the palace.

Since the existence of Jueshengwei is extremely secretive, in order to prevent leaks of information, these people are not worthy of badges and only communicate with gestures.

The imperial study room was lit, and Zhu Qizhen had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Majesty, people have arrived!"

After Fan Zhong finished speaking, he took the initiative to back out and close the door.

Wynn knew that the emperor summoned Jueshengwei must have a secret order, so he obediently waited outside.

However, he was very itchy in his heart. As the emperor's close servant, he didn't know anything except serving tea and water every day.

Now the Supervisor of Rituals has undergone a major change, Wang Zhen and his henchmen have all been purged, and Jin Ying is getting older. She is fortunate enough to serve the Emperor, and her future is boundless. However, watching the Emperor work hard every day, But I don't know anything, should I take the initiative to do something to help the emperor share some of the burden.

Thinking of this, he cautiously looked at Fan Zhong beside him, and asked: "General Fan, Your Majesty these days..."

"Huh?" Fan Zhong glared at him, dissatisfied, "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask!"

"Yes Yes……"
