Holy Bone

Chapter 118 Because You Have the Smell of Her Red Moon Rouge Powder on You
"Young Master Jin'an, Daoist Chen."

Jin An entered the restaurant with the old Taoist priest, and was immediately greeted by the younger brother with a smiling face.

"Magistrate Zhang has ordered that if he sees you and Daoist Chen coming, he will take you two to the Class A room on the third floor."

The waiter in the restaurant led the way with hospitality.

With Jin’an’s reputation in Chang County today, especially when he set up a stall outside Wenwu Temple to give away money for two consecutive days, Chang County is now full of legends about him, such as:
I heard that Mr. Jin'an is not married yet...

I have never seen Mr. Jin'an get close to any woman, except that he lives with an old Taoist leader every day...

I have never heard of Mr. Jin'an having an affair with any young lady...

I just don't know if my daughter has this chance...

So it's not surprising that the waiter in the restaurant can recognize Jin An.

……

When the waiter in the restaurant took the two of them up to the third floor, they came all the way to the most magnificent and magnificent "Hongyun Gaosheng Hall" in the Class A room.

The Hongyun Gaosheng Hall is magnificent, with the sound of silk and bamboo, there are qin players playing, and there are young and slim singers, who are swaying soft water snake waists, and the light clothes and tulle are just trying to refuse.

As Xiaoer pushed open the door of the private room, Jin An saw that many people had gathered in the private room, all of them with potbellies, admiring the diva's small waist artfully.

Seeing these people, Jin An was happy, hehe, everyone is old acquaintances.

Aren't the guests present here all well-known gentry and wealthy businessmen in Chang County? When they saw Jin'an, they immediately greeted him warmly.

The last time Jin An saw the people at this table, he was just a newcomer to Chang County. When he solved the private gunpowder case, Zhang County Magistrate, who was a good parent of the people in Chang County, raised 300 taels for him at the banquet. Patterned silver.

It seems that magistrate Zhang came to give me money today!
Jin'an suddenly regained his spirits.

Huh, unexpectedly, Catcher Feng is here today... Jin An even ran into an old acquaintance at the wine table.

Sure enough, after County Magistrate Zhang invited Jin An and the old Taoist into the private room, he arranged the two of them to sit beside him, and then immediately toasted: "Mr. Chang County is in danger, save the people of our Chang County from the fire and water, I will toast the two of you today."

County magistrate Zhang took the initiative to toast, and after he swallowed the wine in one gulp, the atmosphere on the wine table suddenly rose.

Then, County Magistrate Zhang toasted another glass of wine: "Jin'an and Daochang Chen are indeed the blessings of our Chang County. I am ashamed to say that I am busy with official duties on weekdays, so I didn't have time to entertain the two of you until today. I will punish myself for another drink."

County magistrate Zhang was hesitant after finishing speaking, and then continued: "The last time I asked Mr. Jin'an to encircle and suppress the Qingshui gang, I haven't thanked Mr. Jin'an yet, but yesterday I had Mr. Jin'an's help to encircle and suppress the criminals who lurked into our Chang County...so Today, the official brought all the famous local gentry from Chang County to hold a celebration banquet for Mr. Jin An and Daoist Chen, and secondly, to let everyone brainstorm how to thank Mr. Jin'an and Daoist Chen."

As the magistrate Zhang said, he pushed the two brocade boxes that had been prepared at the banquet in front of Jin'an and the old Taoist priest.

Jin An looked at this brocade box. It was the same size as the brocade box at the last banquet. Could it be six 50 tael silver bank notes from Cunyigong Bank?
"Magistrate Zhang is really too polite."

Jin An said so, but his hands were not slow at all.

After the two put away the brocade box, they didn't open it right away to look at it on the spot. It was too vulgar and didn't fit the pattern of the high-end dinner in front of them at all. It was too disrespectful to County Magistrate Zhang and the gentry present.

When Jin An put away the brocade box, he secretly opened a small slit and squinted. The bank note was thick, and it was 300 taels of silver note... County magistrate Zhang really deserves to be a good parent official who benefits the people of Chang County. Jin An is going to blow it up today Magistrate Zhang!

Seeing County Magistrate Zhang mentioning the Qingshui Gang incident last time, Jin An understood what was going on. County Magistrate Zhang was trying to make up for that incident.

The last time I went to encircle and suppress the main rudder of the Qingshui Gang, the main rudder of the Qingshui Gang had already been destroyed.

And those real estate shops under the Qingshui gang's name, the yamen are not easy to search, cutting off people's way out.

After all, the Qingshui gang helped those loyal and loyal men, and they helped the Yali a lot, and they didn't really hide gunpowder in order to rebel. Prevent people from taking the opportunity to encroach on the Qingshui Gang's territory.

Therefore, Jin'an didn't get much money from the action that night.

On the contrary, Jin'an was touched by the loyalty of the Qingshui Gang's top management, so he never mentioned the matter of "dividing the spoils" to County Magistrate Zhang.

Money, enough is enough.

One's own thoughts are clear, and one's conscience is clear, that is the true freedom.

Unexpectedly, he would also be rewarded. At this time, the old Taoist was so happy that his eyes were wide open, and his mouth could not be closed from ear to ear.

Before coming, the old Taoist was still worried and told Jin An to be careful when sailing for thousands of years. Everything at the banquet tonight depends on his old way's wink and play it by ear, don't drink and eat indiscriminately... what Knowing that now the old Taoist sees Qian's eyes open, he forgets all the words he said before he came, and after drinking for three rounds, he is already drunk.

The old Taoist is a wandering Taoist. He has never had such a high-end dinner with the county magistrate. Fenglelou's fine wine is a treasured wine that ordinary people can't drink. The old Taoist drinks it like a cow drink. At the end of the dinner, the old Taoist was a little drunk.

This high-end meal lasted for more than an hour, and everyone ate happily, and it was almost Xu time when they came out of the restaurant.

It was dark now.

After leaving the restaurant, Jin An saw a lot of thinly dressed singers getting into the squire's carriage, and they didn't get out of the carriage for a long time.

After Jin An asked Catcher Feng to take the old Taoist back for him first, he also boarded County Magistrate Zhang's carriage.

At the banquet before, it was full of the aroma of fine wine and delicacies, and Jin An didn't notice anything, but this time in the carriage in the enclosed space, he actually smelled the familiar faint aroma of red moon rouge again.

"what?"

As soon as Jin An got into the carriage, he subconsciously let out a small gasp.

This familiar faint fragrance of red moon rouge, on the contrary, suppressed his nervousness in the face of magistrate Zhang.

Perhaps it was because of knowing the kinship relationship between shopkeeper Zhang, Miss Zhang Lingyun and County Magistrate Zhang, Jin An was always a little nervous every time he saw County Magistrate Zhang, and was always worried that County Magistrate Zhang would kill people to silence him.

"What happened to Young Master Jin'an?"

County Magistrate Zhang glanced suspiciously at Jin An, who had been dishonest ever since he got on the carriage, and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

"When the banquet was over just now, Mr. Jin'an said that he had something important to call on me. I don't know if Mr. Jin'an has something important to call on me?"

The carriage moved slowly.

In the carriage at this time.

Except for the coachman who was driving the carriage outside the carriage, in the warm carriage which was shielded from the cold spring wind by thick curtains, there were only Jin An and County Magistrate Zhang.

However, when faced with the doubts of magistrate Zhang, Jin'an did not answer right away this time.

He bowed his head thoughtfully, flapping his nostrils lightly from time to time, as if he was smelling something carefully and identifying something.

Finally, Jin An raised his head and asked County Magistrate Zhang a question seemingly inadvertently: "County Magistrate Zhang, it seems that your relationship with the magistrate's wife is very harmonious."

County magistrate Zhang looked over curiously: "How do you say that?"

Jin An smiled and looked at County Magistrate Zhang: "As soon as I entered the carriage, I could smell the faint aroma of Red Moon Rouge emanating from County Magistrate Zhang's body. This Red Moon Rouge is very famous among the nobles in the northern capital , the ladies and young ladies of everyone love to use Red Moon Rouge."

"Because this red moon rouge is waterproof and sun-proof, it is not easy to melt when exposed to water, and it will dry and fall off when exposed to sunlight. It also has a light fragrance that can last for a day."

"It is precisely because of this that it has always won the hearts of the nobles in the northern capital. Of course, the price is also very expensive. A small box of Red Moon Rouge is equivalent to silver. A box of Red Moon Rouge costs three dollars The silver is enough to equal a month's salary of a yamen servant."

A small box of red moon rouge sold for three renminbi. This is Shi Fendai. Every time he goes out, he puts silver powder on his face and puts pieces of brass coins on it, Jin An murmured in his heart.

County magistrate Zhang looked at Jin An in surprise: "I didn't expect Mr. Jin An to have such a thorough research on this."

Jin An ambiguously said: "I have a friend who occasionally gets Red Moon Rouge."

If he didn't say that, he couldn't just say it directly in front of Zhang Lingyun's father... I once gave your eldest daughter a box of Red Moon Rouge?
Back then, the boss of the rouge shop kept recommending me the most expensive and best rouge, but I could recite the boss's words by heart?
Ha ha.

Even if this man has nine dog heads, it's still not enough for the dog heads in the yamen.

After listening to Jin An's words, County Magistrate Zhang clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Haha, my wife really likes Hongyue Rouge."

"In the past, I have always been curious. Why is it that Madam always discusses the red moon rouge when she gets together with other wives? It turns out that there are so many ways in it. I am a rough person who doesn't understand these women's ways. The red makeup and rouge, Mr. Jin An solved a big doubt in my mind today, hahaha."

County Magistrate Zhang said with a laugh.

The two old gentlemen did not discuss major issues along the way, but they were all discussing women's rouge powder, and the guests and hosts had a great chat. Not long after, the carriage stopped at the gate of the yamen.

Jin An followed County Magistrate Zhang to the study, and immediately the people lit up the lamps and candles in the study to brighten the study, then County Magistrate Zhang ordered his servants to serve tea to entertain the guests.

Just after the servants retreated, County Magistrate Zhang turned his back to Jin'an, and was about to go to the Taishi chair behind the desk and sit down.

"Hey, magistrate Zhang has a fallen leaf on your back, I'll remove it for magistrate Zhang."

It was time to go down to the Yamen, and County Magistrate Zhang naturally wouldn't still be wearing official robes. County Magistrate Zhang was wearing a blue toga with cloud sleeves, which was made of high-quality materials.

Unexpectedly, just as Jin An's palm was attached to the back of County Magistrate Zhang's robe, suddenly, zzz, flames burst out from the back of County Magistrate Zhang's robe.

"Magistrate Zhang, why did your back clothes suddenly catch fire, take off your clothes quickly."

Jin An shouted anxiously, and kept patting the county magistrate's robe with his palm.

Magistrate Zhang also smelled the smell of burning clothes, so he quickly took off his coat.

As a result, Jin An yelled again: "Magistrate Zhang, the clothes inside your outer robe are also on fire, take off all your clothes quickly."

It's just that Jin'an didn't need to put out the fire this time, County Magistrate Zhang hooked his hands to his back and slapped it messily, and the small flames on his back were quickly extinguished.

At this time, County Magistrate Zhang picked up the robe that had been thrown on the ground and shook it to see that there was a small hole the size of half a palm burned on the back of the robe.

Magistrate Zhang frowned, then looked at Jin An in doubt.

Jin An said nonsense in a serious manner: "It's really strange, why did the clothes on you, County Magistrate Zhang, suddenly catch fire for no reason?"

"It should be that when County Magistrate Zhang turned around just now, the wind in the study moved the candle next to him, accidentally igniting his upper body."

Fortunately, County Magistrate Zhang still had a spare coat in his study. Just when Magistrate Zhang picked up the coat and was halfway through putting it on, Jin An suddenly said, "I'm not married yet, could it be Yiyun?" Young Master, will you give me an eight-pound fat son!"

This sentence was exactly the one that Jin An had just said when he happened to meet Mr. Yiyun in Wenwu Temple during the day.

If he was caught off guard suddenly, County Magistrate Zhang, who was wearing a long gown, paused. When he wanted to cover up, it was already too late, poof!

A hand was inserted into his body, passing through his chest, the palm was hot, and the scorching fire and poison inside directly pierced through the empty human skin of Magistrate Zhang.

There was no blood spilled on the spot.

There is no hindrance of flesh and bone on the palm.

It was so unexpected!

Jin An attacked and pierced County Magistrate Zhang's chest directly from the back!

"As expected... Mr. Jin An noticed it when he got into the carriage?"

"May I ask a question, I think my art of painting skin has reached its peak, enough to use false ones to occupy the magpie's nest, and no one in the entire county government has seen through my flaws, Mr. Jin'an, how did you see it?"

A voice came from behind Jin An, it was a guard in charge of standing guard outside the door, poof!
The guard's chest still lacked the feeling of a flesh and blood body, pierced by the fire and poison in Jin An's palm.

"Hey."

A low sigh.

From the backyard of the yamen, a woman came out.

The backyard of the yamen is the residence of County Magistrate Zhang and his family. The person who came was the magistrate's wife. The county magistrate's wife had a complicated expression on her face. She looked at Jin'an, who was still a friend during the day, but turned into a cold and murderous Jin'an at night.

"It shouldn't be like this..."

The magistrate's wife under the moonlight and silver light, her black light can be seen as a lesson, she sighed softly again, no one can tell whether that deep sigh is because of the helplessness of the impermanence of the world...or because of the bitterness of other secrets...or because of the sorrow of relatives... Relatives.

But what greeted the county magistrate's wife was a cold red sword light.

"Could it be that all the Chang County yamen are dead!"

"Is there no living person in the entire county government?"

"Is this a yamen, or a devil's cave!"

Jin An glared and shouted.

"Calm down?"

"If you haven't killed enough, I still have more painted skins for you to keep killing until you are satisfied."

In the dark, the sound of two people's approaching footsteps could be heard. This time, the person who came out this time was the handsome Mr. Yiyun, who Jin An was all too familiar with.

And the old servant Qibo who has been following Mr. Yiyun.

It has only been half a day since Jin An and Mr. Yiyun parted, but when he saw Mr. Yiyun again tonight, his state of mind was already different, he was in a trance where things were right and people were wrong.

Qibo looked at his master, and then at Young Master Jin'an. As someone who has experienced it, he naturally saw the essence of the matter at a glance. When he thought that this friendship would last forever, he had many misunderstandings.

It was this misunderstanding that turned the two of them into strangers at war.

But masters and servants are orderly, Qibo didn't dare to go one step beyond the threshold at this time, and made claims and explained for his master, so he could only stand with lowered eyebrows.

As we get older, it's easy to reminisce about the times we missed when we were young.

Since ancient times, there is no room for love and hatred, and this hatred has never ceased.

When the heart dies, forget it.

He also had a relationship in which it was better to forget each other than to be in love with each other. Qibo began to fall into his own memories of the past. A person only needs a relationship to be unforgettable.

"You killed County Magistrate Zhang's whole family?"

"It was you who skinned the magistrate Zhang's family?"

Jin An held the Tiger Saber in his hand, and looked directly at Mr. Yiyun who was standing not far away.

Faced with Jin'an's question, Mr. Yiyun's face was stunned: "So the reason why Mr. Jin'an is so angry is that he thought I was wearing human skin and pretending to be the county magistrate Zhang's family. Monk Zhi joins forces with others, a female devil who kills without blinking an eye?"

"Those are just fish skins. If Jin An likes whoever he likes, what kind of tall, short, fat and thin women he likes, I can give a few pieces of fish skins to Mr. Jin'an for free to satisfy Mr. Jin'an's curiosity."

Mr. Yiyun looked at Jin An teasingly with sly eyes.

Fish skin?Not human skin?
Uh?Jin An, who was still full of murderous intent just now and vowed to kill the entire county government, was taken aback when he heard that Mr. Yiyun wanted to give him some fish skins of tall, short, fat and thin women to satisfy his curiosity.

Was this invented in ancient times?
When Jin An saw the teasing look in Mr. Yiyun's eyes, he immediately understood that Mr. Yiyun was clearly taking revenge for the king he had spoken about during the day.

Jin An was not to be outdone, so he glanced at Mr. Yiyun's chest without a city, and smashed his mouth, it really didn't look like he had a big heart that could carry a ship.

Although it was night and her vision was dim, Mr. Yiyun still noticed Jin An's gaze. In an instant, she understood the...disdain in Jin An's eyes.

"Qibo, help me cut off the two eyeballs of Mr. Jin'an, and I will let him see it again!"

Mr. Yiyun was so angry that his face was covered with frost.

Qi Bo, who was still immersed in the memories of his youthful feelings, just raised his eyes to look at the childish feelings of young people like playing a house, pretended not to hear anything, and continued to recall the memories in his heart.

After such a commotion, the tense atmosphere between the two of them eased a lot.

"Sir Yiyun, are you a human or something? If you are not a human, why are you able to appear in the daytime without being affected at all when you paint the magistrate Zhang, the magistrate's wife, shopkeeper Zhang, and Lingyun Zhang? The county magistrate and his family are going to live or die!"

Jin An still didn't let go of all his guard.

After hearing Jin An's words, Mr. Yiyun said slightly annoyed: "You are the thing!"

Then after calming down, he said: "You answer me first, I think my painted skin has no flaws, how did you see through my identity?"

"It's very simple, because you smell of her red moon rouge powder." Jin An wrote lightly,

Here, she naturally refers to Zhang Lingyun who was disguised as Mr. Yiyun, the time Jin An took Mr. Yiyun to buy Hongyue rouge a month ago.

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."
