Gel makeup

Chapter 36
Jiang Feng came out of Nanyuan and walked around the Ci'en Temple for two days without any progress. On the second night, wearing a brand-new Taoist robe and a net scarf from Shen Jiangdong, he went to Chunxiang Tower alone.

This day happened to coincide with the coldness of the Chunxiang building. As soon as Jiang Feng appeared, he was surrounded by a group of girls, who handed sweat towels, poured tea, and fed fruits. The fans almost rolled into her arms.

At first, Jiang Feng was calm, but after a long time, he couldn't take it anymore. Just at this moment, a voice from the door, "Where are the girls going to drill the sand?", finally relieved Jiang Feng.

When Jiang Feng looked up, he saw King Xiao Jing walking in swaggeringly.Before Jiang Feng came back to his senses, King Xiao Jing covered his mouth in shock: "Sister-in-law of the Shen family..." Fortunately, he stopped in a hurry, "Brother Shen is here? Are you afraid that sister-in-law will be jealous?"

Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

King Xiao Jing was obviously a regular customer of Chunxiang Tower, and he took the old bustard around for a while, then shook his sleeves and led Jiang Feng into a private room.

Jiang Feng searched around for a while, Xiao Jingwang smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, no one is eavesdropping. By the way, why is sister-in-law here?"

"The Jingwei has already touched Chen Nanfei to the point of almost. I'm here to find clues." Jiang Feng went straight to the point.

King Xiao Jing was puzzled: "Huh? Looking for clues in Chunxianglou?"

Jiang Feng nodded: "Yes."

"That is why ah?"

"The Forbidden Army checked Chen Nanfei before. They always checked who was in his family and where he usually went, but they didn't check where he didn't like to go." Jiang Feng replied, "I remember you said that the last time you saw Chen Nanfei, he didn't Willing to come to Chunxiang Building."

King Xiao Jing thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, is there any problem?"

"He's not married, why doesn't he come to Chunxiang Building?"

"Brother Shen didn't want to come to Chunxiang Building when he wasn't married."

Jiang Feng was stunned, and said softly: "Jiu Wang, Chen Nanfei often visited other Goulan cottages before his death, but he refused to come to Chunxiang Tower. Except for this time when you asked him out, he also refused to come when Yang Dasi Kou asked him out. .”

King Xiao Jing heard this and said, "That's a bit strange."

"Not only that, but Chen Nanfei refused to come to Chunxiang Building, but called a girl from Chunxiang Building to attend the meeting." Jiang Feng said.

"Who? I know almost all the girls here."

"This girl is still a bit weird. Later, she went to the Cangchun Tower to get a job elsewhere. I came here just to find out why this girl left?"

King Xiaojing heard this and said: "Understood, sister-in-law of the Shen family, you wait, I..."

"I didn't take anyone with me, let your people go to Tang Peng from the military guard." Jiang Feng interrupted King Xiaojing.

"Ah?" King Xiao Jing was a little reluctant, "I have as many people as I need, why not call Tang Peng that idiot?"

Jiang Feng smiled: "No. Her Royal Highness asked me to investigate with the military guards of the government. We can't hide from each other and compete for merit, which will ruin the overall situation."

Tang Peng came very quickly, thinking that Siqing had told him about King Xiao Jing's involvement in the investigation, so he was not surprised to see King Xiao Jing, he just cupped his hands and said, "Nine Kings, Mrs. Jia Guogong."

Jiang Feng then told Tang Peng what he had investigated, "Jiu Wang and I thought that we might be able to find some clues from this girl in Cangchunlou."

Tang Peng nodded, "Mrs. Jia Guo is right, maybe..."

"Hush..." Jiang Feng suddenly looked around, and said softly, "We have been recruited. How many people did the Nine Kings bring, and how many people did Commander Tang bring?"

"I didn't bring anyone with me." Tang Peng said first.

"Four," King Xiao Jing stretched out four fingers, "why do you have such a headache?"

Tang Peng got up suddenly, and Jiang Feng only had time to shout "Don't practice martial arts" before losing consciousness.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Feng woke up and heard some laughter and the sound of silk and bamboo. She lifted the net towel and raised her head. Immediately, a bright wrist brought tea, and said with a smile, "Master, why did you sleep so deeply?"

Jiang Feng was so excited that he subconsciously wanted to pull out the sword in his sleeve. When he looked up, he saw the table was full of broken cups, and Xiao Jing Wang Wuzi fell asleep beside the table.Seeing that King Xiaojing was safe, Jiang Feng put away his sword secretly, and stretched out his hand to pat King Jing: "Nine Kings! Nine Kings!" Looking around, he saw five or six pink heads dressed in pink makeup and jade carvings to show courteousness, but they were gone. Tang Peng's trail.

King Xiao Jing woke up, was confused for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "When did Chunxiang Building become a black shop! Look at me..."

He called the servants of the palace who followed outside the door to probe their heads: "Master, what's the matter?"

Jiang Feng knew something was wrong, so he forced a smile: "It's nothing, I'm drunk." Then he asked Fantou, "Where's our companion?"

"I didn't see it, that old man must have drunk too much, so he went to the toilet?" Fantou replied politely.

"Nonsense... um..." King Xiao Jing was about to refute, but was twisted secretly by Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng told the followers of the palace, "Look where Mr. Tang has gone." Turning to the fans, he said, "Where are you?" Go inside and sing a tune for us to listen to."

The fans retreated into the room, stretching their wrists and singing, Jiang Feng said softly: "Nine Kings wake up, this matter is fraudulent, we are few, let's take a look first, don't be impulsive."

King Xiao Jing was surprised: "We didn't eat any food when we came up, where did we get the food and wine? Where's Tang Peng?"

Just as he was talking, the attendants of the palace came in, and King Xiao Jing asked, "What did you do just now?"

"If you go back to the master, the little ones have been downstairs facing the floor of the master's box. Just now, I was idle and nibbling melon seeds for a while..."

"Where's Commander Tang?" Jiang Feng interrupted.

"Back to this master, the younger ones didn't pay attention. After inquiring around, Commander Tang just left. It has been out for half an hour."

"What?" King Xiao Jing was furious, "What does he want to do!"

Jiang Feng asked again: "Has anyone entered the box just now?"

The entourage of the palace thought for a while and answered: "The food delivery, the wine delivery, and the girl."

"Who brought the food and wine?"

The entourage of the palace was at a loss for words, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "By the way, I remembered, it should be that the servant gave the food and wine, and Commander Tang opened the door to pick it up."

Jiang Feng asked, "Did you see clearly?"

The entourage of the palace said cautiously: "Young one... I didn't see the face clearly, but the clothes are from Commander Tang."

Jiang Feng nodded: "Understood, you go down first."

"Why Tang Peng..."

"Hush..." Jiang Feng said softly, "This song is over, let's go out to find Tang Peng. Jiu Wang, be natural, maybe someone is playing tricks, don't let others see the abnormality."

King Xiao Jing said in a low voice: "Could it be Tang Peng... We were fine just now, but we were stunned when Tang Peng came. Could there be something wrong with him?"

Jiang Feng said: "Regardless of whether he has any problems or not, there must be a reason for His Majesty and the Queen to appoint him as the commander of the army and guards."

King Xiao Jing thought for a while, and said softly: "Tang Peng likes to keep a straight face and follow the rules. He doesn't see any problems. Maybe the third brother and the third sister-in-law have been cheated?"

After talking about the end of the song, the two left their seats. King Xiao Jing paid the silver, called his attendants, and impatiently dealt with the old bustard, and went out of the building with Jiang Feng.

As soon as he came out of the building, King Xiao Jing scolded his followers as trash and asked the imperial army to search the building, but Jiang Feng stopped him.Jiang Feng said: "It seems that no one is following us. Nine Kings, we are safe and sound. There is no reason to search the building. It is important to find Tang Peng."

King Xiao Jing asked, "How to find it?"

Jiang Feng sighed: "He is the commander of the government army and guards, so naturally let the people of the government army and guards look for him." After speaking, he told a follower of the palace and asked him to go to the government army and guard's yamen to report the letter.

"Nine Kings, let's go back. Maybe we're being watched and it's not safe." Jiang Feng added.

"Sister-in-law of the Shen family, how about you?"

"I have to go to the Cangchun Tower to find out about that girl's reality."

King Xiao Jing was puzzled: "Since the girl is now in the Cangchun Building, why did the sister-in-law come to the Chunxiang Building to find someone?"

"I didn't come here to find someone," Jiang Feng replied, "I wanted to find out about her in the past. But now that Chunxiang Building is weird, I can't ask any more, so I can only go to see her."

"I'll go with my sister-in-law."

"No, the Nine Kings are too smart to follow. Presumably the Nine Kings also have many acquaintances in the Cangchun Tower?"

"Sister-in-law is too dangerous alone. I know that sister-in-law doesn't take anyone with her because she is afraid of causing trouble for the Jiaguo Mansion. I can ask more people to follow me, and we will enter the Cangchun Tower separately. If sister-in-law is in trouble, it is better to have someone to take care of her." .”

Jiang Feng thought for a while and said, "That's fine too. The Nine Kings lead people in first, and I'm one step behind."

The two walked separately from Chunxiang Tower, and King Xiaojing entered Cangchun Tower first.Jiang Feng remembered that he had seen the romantic and unrestrained son of He Shizhi in this neighborhood last time, and when he turned his head, this Young Master He was gone, so he couldn't help sighing.Jiang Feng stood in place and waited for a stick of incense. He searched around, but no one was following him. He just entered the building and was about to see "Miss Shuze".

The old bustard apologized and said with a smile: "My lord, Miss Shu is ill, look..."

Jiang Feng threw a large stack of banknotes over, "Just say a few words." After thinking about it, he felt that the words were inappropriate, "Tenderness and gentleness, isn't that enough?"

The old bustard took the money, hesitated, and led Jiang Feng to the door of Shuze's room. Jiang Feng said, "I'll go in by myself."

The old bustard's face was full of pink smiles, "I know, I know. I don't want to bother you if you are so anxious."

King Xiao Jing had been watching from the opposite side, and felt strange when he saw Jiang Feng go in for about a cup of tea and then back out, so he followed Jiang Feng out of the Cangchun Tower.

The two met in a secluded place outside the building, and Jiang Feng said, "The girl is dead."

"What? Who killed it?"

Jiang Feng shook his head: "I don't know, he should have just died, and there was no sign of a fight in the room."

King Xiao Jing took a step back, "Tang Peng, could it be that Tang Peng killed her?"

Jiang Feng said: "I'm not sure, let's talk about it after finding Tang Peng. Nine Kings, no one found that girl dead when I came out. I might be in trouble. Don't see me again soon, tell Your Highness the Queen..."

"Quick! Quick! People didn't go very far, that little boy wearing a net scarf just went out..." Someone yelled.

"People from Wucheng Bingma Division? So fast?" King Xiao Jing was shocked.

Just as they were talking, the bright torches shone on the faces of the two of them, and the old bustard exclaimed: "It was him! It was he who killed Miss Shu!"

Just as Jiang Feng was about to speak, he was dragged behind him by King Xiao Jing: "What? Framed the Lord for murder?"

"No..." The old bustard was about to retort, but King Xiao Jing yelled, "Shut up! Old man, do you know who the master is?"

Only then did the bustard see Xiao Jingwang's face clearly, and she was startled: "Your Majesty? Forgive me! My family..."

"This bustard is used to torturing girls, maybe she tortured girls to death by herself, grabbing and biting randomly. You guys, let me check it out carefully." Wang Xiaojing said, "Where is your sir? Sir, went to the brothel?"

A few officials from the Nine Cities Bingma Division bit their ears, first saluted Xiao Jingwang, and then said: "Nine Kings forgive me, that girl was killed by a sword at her throat, so..."

"I killed the man, come on, come and catch me." King Xiao Jing roared.

The bustard was already in a daze, he didn't understand why King Xiao Jing got involved, and he didn't dare to speak.

Seeing the stalemate, Jiang Feng pushed Xiao Jingwang's hand away, "I'm the last one to see Miss Shuze."

"Shen..."

Jiang Feng secretly used the hilt of his sword to attack King Xiao Jing, "When I entered, Miss Shuze had already passed away."

The people from Wucheng Bingma Division looked at King Xiao Jing, and said to Jiang Feng, "Please come with us."

"No!" King Xiao Jing said decisively, "You know she is..."

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I have run away now, and I have been convicted of absconding in fear of crime." Jiang Feng said, "Nine Kings, there is no need to say more."

King Xiao Jing's face flushed red with anxiety, and he whispered: "Sister-in-law of the Shen family, you are leaving with them, how can I see my third sister-in-law tomorrow?"

Jiang Feng whispered: "Report truthfully." After finishing speaking, he said humanely to Wucheng soldiers and horses, "Let's go."

"Wait a minute!" Suddenly there was a large group of people in the dark, the leader approached King Xiao Jing, and saluted, "Nine Kings."

"Old Cheng? Why are you here?" King Xiao Jing asked in surprise.

Cheng Yingzhou, who came in a hurry, didn't answer Xiao Jingwang's words, he just bowed in a hurry, turned his head and said to the soldiers and horses of Wucheng, "It's convenient for the Jingwei to do business."

King Xiao Jing suddenly realized: "Old Cheng, you came at a good time! Although the upper twelve guards bypassed the Wucheng Bingmasi and the Jingzhao Mansion to treat people with respect, but if they don't say anything, no one will know."

The people from Wucheng Bingma Division looked at each other, Cheng Yingzhou said: "You have also seen that King Jing is here, and the imperial army is here too. I don't want to cause trouble for you Shangguan, so leave the matter to us."

King Xiao Jing said: "That's right! Also, keep your mouths shut! If you let Yushitai hear the slightest bit of wind and provoke those crows, let's see how I will deal with you, my lord!"

Seeing that things were getting worse and worse, the people from Wucheng Bingmasi didn't dare to offend King Xiao Jing and the imperial army, so they had to back down and leave.Cheng Yingzhou ordered someone to carry Shuze's body away, and King Xiaojing threatened the old bustard again, and all the people turned around and went to the Fujunwei Yamen.

"Why are you here?" King Xiao Jing asked Cheng Yingzhou.

Jiang Feng asked: "Commander Cheng, have you found Tang Peng?"

Cheng Yingzhou said: "Received the report from the Nine Kings, and learned that Tang Peng was missing, and felt strange. The Queen had told me to pay attention to the safety of the Nine Kings and Mrs. Jia, so I followed. So far, Tang Peng has not been found."

King Xiao Jing said: "That's not right, my boy said that Tang Peng walked out of Chunxiang Tower by himself."

Cheng Yingzhou shook his head: "No, there is a person wearing Tang Peng's clothes and a bamboo hat who walked out of Chunxiang Building, it may not be Tang Peng."

Xiao Jingwang wanted to say something, Jiang Feng said first: "There is something strange, please trouble General Cheng to search for the whereabouts of Commander Tang, and report the rest to Her Royal Highness tomorrow, and then make a decision."

Cheng Yingzhou nodded, and asked again: "Madam Jia Guo, how did Tang Peng disappear?"

King Xiaojing then said: "Sister-in-law of the Shen family suspects that a girl who was in Chunxiang Building and then went to Cangchun Building is the one who died just now. We searched for clues in Chunxiang Building and informed Tang Peng. When Tang Peng came, we We got dizzy, and when we woke up, Tang Peng was gone, leaving only a group of fans."

Cheng Yingzhou was puzzled: "According to Tang Peng's skill, it shouldn't be."

King Xiao Jing said again: "So we suspect that it was Tang Peng who released the mist."

"No," Jiang Feng interjected, "Tang Peng has no motive for doing this."

King Xiaojing said: "Want to fight for merit?"

Jiang Feng still shook his head: "But this girl is dead."

"Maybe he killed it... No way? Could it be that Tang Peng had a problem, so he killed this girl to silence her?" King Xiaojing asked.

Cheng Yingzhou said, "Tang Peng should be fine."

King Xiao Jing had a cold war: "After Chen Nanfei disappeared, he died immediately. Tang Peng wouldn't..."

Jiang Feng said: "One is to find someone, and the other is to investigate the cause of the girl's death. Let's do these two things first. Thank you General Cheng for your rescue today, but we should do these two things."

"Wouldn't the people from Wucheng Bingma Division talk nonsense?" King Xiao Jing still had doubts.

"It's not good!" The forbidden army around Cheng Yingzhou came to report, "It's not good, those people from Wucheng Bingmasi were killed by the Cangchun Building just now! People from their yamen are chasing them!"

Jiang Feng took a deep breath, "Nine Kings, General Cheng, this is looking for me. General Cheng put down the girl's body, go quickly, don't get attached to this matter."

"No!" Xiao Jing said kingly, "Put down the corpse, the sister-in-law of the Shen family and Lao Cheng will go, and I will take care of it."

"No!" Cheng Yingzhou and Jiang Feng said in unison, Cheng Yingzhou said, "Naturally, the Nine Kings and Mrs. Jiaguo will go..."

"Whoever you stay will implicate the Queen, I won't!" King Xiao Jing said, "They dare not do anything to me."

Jiang Feng said, "That won't work either!"

"Sister-in-law of the Shen family think about the situation of the third sister-in-law!" King Xiao Jing said anxiously, "You can follow the clues to find out, but I can't!"

Cheng Yingzhou suddenly understood what would happen if Siqing was involved in the matter, so he said decisively: "Mrs. Jia Guo, what King Jing said makes sense." Then he said to King Xiao Jing, "Nine Kings, be careful."

Jiang Feng couldn't persuade Cheng Yingzhou and the forbidden army, so he said, "Take the body away, there is no proof of death, the Nine Kings don't let go. Tonight, thank you Nine Kings."

Jiang Feng and Cheng Yingzhou walked around a few streets and stopped in a secluded place.Jiang Feng said: "Someone was chasing me and silenced him in time. I don't know who it could be."

Cheng Yingzhou asked: "Mrs. Jia Guo, who do you suspect?"

Jiang Feng said frankly: "I suspect Tang Peng. After all, it was Tang Peng who told His Royal Highness that he saw Chen Nanfei around the Temple of Mercy, but I found nothing around the Temple of Charity."

Cheng Yingzhou sighed and said, "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be Tang Peng."

Jiang Feng nodded and said: "I know, but he is the most suspicious person right now. General Cheng, this place is not far from our residence, I can go back by myself. You go to the Nine Kings and have a look, don't make any trouble. It's too late today, I'll see Her Royal Highness tomorrow."

Cheng Yingzhou agreed, and the two bid farewell.

When Jiang Feng went to Nanyuan to meet Si Qing the next day, he found that King Xiao Jing was already present. After seeing the ceremony, Si Qing asked her to sit down, only to hear King Xiao Jing then say to Si Qing: "Later, the bustard changed his words and said that his own girl ran away. She wanted to blackmail someone, and she blackmailed me. People from Wucheng Bingmasi asked me how to deal with it, but I didn't say anything, and left."

Siqing asked, "Where are the soldiers from Wucheng who were killed?"

"After they separated from us, some diners in the nearby restaurant saw them, so we can prove that their death has nothing to do with us." King Xiao Jing took out a towel and wiped his temples, "Did you really scare me to death yesterday? "

Jiang Feng interjected and asked, "Your Highness, is there any news about Tang Peng?"

Siqing shook her head, Xiao Jingwang slapped her thigh and said, "I thought there was something wrong with Tang Peng. We were stunned as soon as he appeared."

Jiang Feng saw that Siqing's complexion was different, so he said, "Thank you, Nine Kings, for saving the siege yesterday."

King Xiao Jing said: "Sister-in-law of the Shen family is too polite, that was what I should have done yesterday, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities dare not trouble me."

Siqing said: "Then the madam of Cangchun Tower is the only one who knows the details, how should I deal with it?"

Jiang Feng pondered: "I can't kill it anymore, it's too eye-catching to kill it now."

King Xiao Jing shook his head: "Don't be afraid, that old bustard is very smart and knows when to shut up. If He Shizhi's son and the little lady of the Xu family had an accident near the Cangchun Tower last time, she would have escaped safely. When I find a chance, I will threaten her again."

At this time, Xia Chu came in to report: "Commander Cheng is asking to see you."

Siqing said, "Let him in."

Cheng Yingzhou entered to salute, Siqing asked, "How is it?"

Cheng Yingzhou said: "The girl from Cangchunlou and Wucheng Bingmasi sealed their throats with a sword. Judging from the wound, the edge of the sword is very thin."

Siqing frowned: "The blade is very thin? A soft sword that can be hidden at the waist?"

King Xiao Jing was shocked: "Isn't Tang Peng's sword just like that?"

Siqing's face darkened: "Dispose of the girl's body, and continue to look for Tang Peng."

Cheng Yingzhou asked softly: "Your Highness, what should we do if we can't hide Tang Peng's disappearance?"

"Your Majesty sent Tang Peng to work in Shenji Camp outside the city." Siqing raised her beautiful eyes, "Old Cheng, you should be careful."

Cheng Yingzhou said: "I understand."

King Xiao Jing also got up and said: "Then my brother will also leave first."

Siqing nodded and said, "Old Jiu, you should be careful."

Jiang Feng also wanted to leave, Siqing said with a smile: "Sister Jiang, go slowly, the needlework bureau has sent you some new clothes, come and have a look."

Cheng Yingzhou and Xiao Jingwang retreated first when they saw this.
