Chapter 106: The Search for the Broth
Magistrate Song and others put on makeup and became rich businessmen. Magistrate Song was worried that people would recognize him, the magistrate of Guangde County, so he asked Song Yuner to help him put on makeup. When he looked rough, he really couldn't recognize him.
When he entered the yard, the turtle man who was picking up the guests at the door saw their clothes, he knew the distinguished guests from the place. He smiled and greeted him: "Uncle, you are here, please come inside." When he saw Long Zixu, he was slightly stunned, "You, you..."
"What's wrong with me?" Long Zixu sneered, "Zhao Wugui, don't you know your uncle anymore?"
At this time, Dilong Zixu had already changed into a brocade robe, and the jade pendant hanging around his waist was worth a lot of money. It seemed that the salted fish turned over. The ghost man named Zhao immediately smiled and said he didn't dare to do so, and welcomed everyone into the lobby of Zuiyinglou.
In the lobby, the short and fat madam came over, giggling like a flower hen and said, "There are several old men who have not seen each other, and the girls all want you to death." Seeing the little black dog beside Yang Qiuchi, he exaggeratedly said, "Oh~! This old man is so cute!"
The little black dog followed Yang Qiuchi and turned his face to ignore the madam.
The madam looked up again and saw Long Zixu's smile, but the madam saw countless people. Don't she know the truth about this and that when she saw Long Zixu's outfit and her relationship with these old men, she immediately understood and smiled: "Mr. Long, I haven't seen you for a long time. Is there any beautiful girl who hooked your soul away?"
Long Zixu snorted coldly: "Yes, it was driven away by an old bitch."
The madam was a little embarrassed, but she smiled a little: "This is the words." She turned her head, raised her fat head and pulled her neck and shouted loudly: "Girls, go downstairs to pick up customers~!"
Suddenly, the orioles were singing and dancing. Seven or eight girls were waving and laughing, and each of them hugged Song Magistrate and their necks were slutty and coquettish.
Yang Qiuchi has not been to nightclubs in today's society. A large group of dancers are volleying in line for others to pick them up, but after all, it cannot be compared with the serious brothel. Seeing the little woman wearing thin clothes and half of her breasts tilted in her arms, she was suddenly at a loss.
Seeing Yang Qiuchi like this, the woman knew that it was a young man who had just arrived in the brothel. She giggled, hugged Yang Qiuchi's neck, and pressed her soft body on her face. The scent of the nose covered Yang Qiuchi: "Little brother, you haven't come to see me for a long time, I miss you so much!"
Yang Qiuchi didn't know how to answer, so he looked at Long Zixu. He saw that he hugged the girl's waist in his arms, and his movements were very skillful. He must have been good at this back then. Looking at Magistrate Song and Master Jin, his hands were not idle, and they were busy getting stuck in oil. No wonder he didn't let Song Yuner come in even though he died, which was really unbearable.
The madam looked at them with a smile: "Are the girls satisfied, are you still satisfied?"
Yang Qiuchi coughed heavily. Long Zixu nodded slightly and said to the madam: "Prepare a room for us. We are hungry, so we have dinner first."
The madam smiled even more happily. The three layers of fat meat on her chin were shaking: "Master Long, don't worry, I'll have someone prepare a banquet for you and some old men. Let some girls drink, sing and dance with you." She clapped her hands, "Girls, why don't you invite you guys upstairs and sit in the wing room."
The girls stood up with a smile and held one of them upstairs. After all, it was not the first time Yang Qiuchi experienced such occasions. He had visited nightclubs several times before, and had been struggling online for so long, and had never seen any beauties. These people couldn't scare him. After the nervousness of just now when he first arrived at the brothel, Yang Qiuchi was now calm and composed. He held the girl's hand and walked upstairs very casually. Why did he feel a bit like the beach?
Everyone went to the wing room to sit down, and the little black dog squatted beside Yang Qiuchi, lifted his little head and looked around. After a while, the banquet was put on.
Yang Qiuchi winked at Long Zixu. Long Zixu understood and asked the madam: "Is there any news about Miss Jin Keying recently?" When he said this, Long Zixu felt a cramp in his heart and held back his tears.
The madam turned her head and looked at Magistrate Song and others, but she groaned and said nothing. Magistrate Song was so mean, and she didn't know her intention. She glanced at Master Jin. Master Jin coughed and took out a ingot of silver from his arms and placed it on the table. The ingot of silver was more than ten taels of silver.
The madam's eyes shone brightly, and she smiled and stretched out her fat and fat hand, and was about to grab the silver. Master Jin hit her back with a folding fan, shook her head slightly, and didn't say anything.
The madam is also a smart man, how could she not know? He laughed and said, "It turns out that the old men came for Miss Keying. If you want to say that my daughter is really one in a hundred. How many princes and ministers are coming from a distance on horseback on sedan chairs just to look at her, Young Master Long knew the best. Back then..."
Master Jin knocked on the back of the madam's hand again. The madam quickly stopped talking and sighed: "Oh, it's a coincidence that my daughter Keying... She went back to her hometown to visit her."
This old fat pig was obviously missing, but he said he had gone to visit his relatives. Yang Qiuchi cursed secretly.
Long Zixu asked again: "Then, is Chunya, the little maid she used to be, still here?"
"Here, still here. Do you want to call her?"
When everyone heard this, they were all excited and found the little maid. Jin Keying had hope of finding out the situation of missing Jin Keying.
"I'm working hard!" Long Zixu was excited and his words trembled a little.
The madam stood up, looked at the silver ingots from Master Jin's folding fan, swallowed loudly, then walked to the door and ordered the maid at the door. The little maid agreed, turned around and walked quickly.
After a moment, a girl walked in. She was thin, worn-out and haggard. She walked in with her head down and felt a blessing.
Long Zixu looked a little surprised. He stood up and walked to the girl, bent down slightly to look at her face, and whispered: "You... are you Chunya?"
"Yeah!" The girl still lowered her head.
Long Zixu's voice trembled: "Chunya, please look up and see who am I?"
Chunya slowly raised her head and looked at Long Zixu. She gradually showed a look of surprise on her face: "Master Long? Are you Master Long?" Long Zixu nodded.
Chunya stepped forward and stopped again, her eyes filled with tears: "Young Master Long, you are here. Miss Keying..."
Long Zixu interrupted her: "Don't worry, Chunya, come and sit with the young master." He turned his head and looked at the madam: "You can leave now."
The madam agreed, staring at the silver ingots from Master Jin's folding fan. Seeing that the main purpose of this trip had been achieved, Master Jin smiled slightly and let go of the folding fan.
The madam grabbed the silver ingot on the table, stuffed it into his pocket-like chest, and laughed and said, "Okay, let's go now, everyone, use it slowly, girls, take good care of all the masters!" The madam left the wing room and closed the door casually.
Master Jin said to the girls: "You go out first, we have something to do, and I'll call you in later."
The girls agreed and walked out of the door.
Long Zixu closed the door and turned around and asked in a low voice: "Chunya, I have looked for you many times, and the madam said you are not here. What happened after you and Miss Keying left Guangde?"
Chunya started crying and said while crying: "Miss Keying and I broke up with you that day, and we were about to leave the city gate. The girl said she was in a hurry to ask for Xiao Jie. Seeing that there was an old ancient tower not far from the roadside, there was no one around, the girl got off the car and went to Xiao Jie to Xiao Jie."
When Yang Qiuchi heard this, his heart was terrified. Could it be that the ancient tower was really a murder scene? He asked: "Is it the ancient tower not far from the west gate of the city?"
"Yes." Chunya nodded:
Yang Qiuchi and Magistrate Song, Master Jin looked at each other and nodded slightly. Yang Qiuchi said, "Miss Chunya, continue."
"I waited in the carriage. I waited for a long time but didn't see the girl coming back. I ran to search, shouting while searching. After searching, I didn't find any trace of the girl. I panicked. I waited until it was almost dark and I didn't see the girl, so I was anxious. I ran back to find you, Master, but your door was closed and asked the neighbors. I found out that you had been copying books for others in the countryside. I'm afraid it would take a few days to come back."
Long Zixu said sadly: "That day, I went to Balitun outside the city to copy books for a wealthy family. But how did I... know...ah~!"
"I couldn't find the young master, so I had to go to report to the official, but the official said that the girl had disappeared for too short and might be back. It would take two days to make sure that she would really disappear. Only then would she report to me. She drove me out." After that, she started crying again.
It seems that Chunya has never seen the murderer. Yang Qiuchi was unwilling to give up and asked again, "Miss Chunya, did you find anything unusual when you were looking for the ancient tower? Such as blood stains."
Chunya stopped crying, recalled carefully for a while, shook her head: "No, the thatch nearby is very high, and I didn't look at the ground carefully, just kept calling the girl's name. - Is the girl injured? How is she? Have you found her?" Chunya asked anxiously.
Long Zixu sighed and grabbed Chunya's hand: "You girl, she, she is dead!"
Ah? Chunya screamed in despair and covered her face and started crying.
At this moment, the door of the wing was kicked open, and seven or eight turtle men and servants rushed in with sticks, followed by a fat pig-like madam, chuckling: "I knew you were not coming to the girl. After that, where did you come from? You dare to come to my Zuiyinglou to ask this and that."
