Chapter 34 Asylum
Xie Jiuxiao's expression was complicated, and he didn't know what to say. He naturally knew that Lu Chengfeng only regarded him as his younger brother, and he knew that if he hadn't met him seven years ago, he would be just one of many passers-by.

Xie Jiuxiao was a little lucky, but his heart was full of panic, so he had to look at the moon too.

He didn't know if other people's love was as invisible as he was.

Xie Jiuxiao couldn't help but think of Shisan. Feng Qing could know Shisan's intentions, but what about him?

If this layer of window paper is pierced, Xie Jiuxiao is sure that the result will be very bad. Let alone external factors, Lu Chengfeng alone will definitely alienate him, let alone look for someone openly after autumn.

Lu Chengfeng was absent-mindedly thinking about what Qingfeng told him during the day. She tried every means to verify what Han Shushan said last time, but everything was like a stone sinking into the sea, like stagnant water with no ripples. If all of this...

While in a trance, there was a commotion from the crowd not far away. The two looked for the sound, but there was a group of people pointing around one person.

"Hey... Isn't this the top girl in Wanchunlou..."

"Hahaha...how did Miss Wanhou fall to the point of prostitution?"

"He is the top card, and there are so many people begging for it."

"If you ask for it, why would you come out and sell yourself?"

"I heard that the Wanchun Building collapsed, and she was arrested and interrogated by the Jinyiwei. Who would dare to buy her if she has a relationship with the Jinyiwei? Don't die?"

“500两？哟这不才500两嘛？当初我记得她挂牌可是1000两，最后却抬到了5000两，5000两！在燕京够多少人风光活一辈子了！”

"As far as her body is concerned, and the things she shared, 500 taels? I think even five taels is too expensive!"

Lu Chengfeng looked at her silently for a while, then touched his body, but it was only a few taels of silver. Seeing her move, Xie Jiuxiao handed over a silver ticket and asked, "Why did you buy her?"

Lu Chengfeng is definitely not the kind of person who is full of compassion.

Lu Chengfeng looked at the banknote, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "What are you doing with so many banknotes when you go out?"

Xie Jiuxiao said with a puzzled look: "...5000 taels, how much?"

The corners of Lu Chengfeng's mouth twitched slightly, he took the 1000 taels of silver note, and said, "Muhouhou was the only one who knew you were there that night, she did not confess you under the interrogation of Jinyiwei, out of her kindness , how about this 1000 taels as a thank you gift?"

Xie Jiuxiao smiled and said, "It's fine if you agree."

Lu Chengfeng walked to the neatly written notice of prostitution, and said, "1000 taels."

Mu Wanwan looked numb, slowly raised his head, and saw a beautiful and indifferent face.

The crowd was in an instant commotion.

1000 two?

Who is this man?Dare to go against Jin Yiwei?Don't die?

Lu Chengfeng bent down and put the banknote in front of her, a look of bewilderment appeared on his numb face, she recognized Lu Chengfeng and the person behind her, and murmured: "... It's you."

Lu Chengfeng didn't say much, put down the banknotes, and took Xie Jiuxiao out of the crowd. Although the night was late, the lantern festival was lively, and someone was setting off fireworks beside the moat.

A child ran across the street and bumped into someone accidentally. Xie Jiuxiao was in a good mood today, he didn't care about the child, and even smiled at him.

The two of them didn't take the car, and when they walked back, some people had already started to disperse. At the end of the city, Lu Chengfeng bought a bunch of candied haws. Xie Jiuxiao paid for it, and the bunch of candied haws was handed to him.

Xie Jiuxiao took it, looked at Lu Chengfeng, and said, "What are you doing looking at me? Or do you mean that when you grow up, you don't like eating candied haws anymore?"

Xie Jiuxiao felt pitifully that Lu Chengfeng seemed to have given him some kind of affection unknowingly. He tightened his hand holding the candied haws, and then smiled and said, "Of course I like it."

Just as Xie Jiuxiao was about to bite, he suddenly sensed something was wrong, touched his body, and Lu Chengfeng said, "What's wrong?"

Xie Jiuxiao looked serious, and said, "Jade pendant! I lost the jade pendant my mother left me!"

Lu Chengfeng was also taken aback, and couldn't help recalling the places the two of them had been to tonight, feeling bad: "We've visited almost the entire East City tonight, this..."

Xie Jiuxiao gritted his teeth, his face was a little ugly, and he said, "I... I'll look for it!"

Lu Chengfeng followed, but the East Market was so big and the crowd was crowded, such a small jade pendant fell in the crowd, it was almost like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Lu Chengfeng recalled the place where Xie Jiuxiao might have lost the jade pendant. There was almost no big movement on his way, and the jade pendant was not worn outside his body, so it was impossible for him to lose it for no reason.

With such a distraction, Xie Jiuxiao had gone away in a blink of an eye. Lu Chengfeng inquired about the stall at one side, and soon followed the stall owner's words and turned to another street. Sure enough, he saw two half-grown teenagers at the bridge.

One of them was the one who bumped into Xie Jiuxiao not long ago. Lu Chengfeng felt certain, walked up to him, smiled at him, and stretched out his hand, "Hand it over."

The young man looked at her vigilantly: "...what?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "Hand over the jade pendant, I don't want the rest."

The two looked at each other and shrank back: "...we don't know what you are talking about!"

Lu Chengfeng hooked her lips, she searched left and right, picked up a stone from the side, glanced at the two of them, then threw the stone, only heard a sharp sound, the two looked in the direction and found the stone Fully embedded in the side trunk.

After all, they were only eleven or twelve years old, and the two of them panicked when they saw this scene. Lu Chengfeng tossed the stone lightly in his hand, and said slowly, "Tell me, what will happen if this stone hits a person, tsk... I think so." It’s nothing, at most it’s like this tree..."

Before the words were finished, a piece of jade pendant was thrown suddenly, Lu Chengfeng took it, and the two teenagers hugged together: "...I returned it to you!"

Lu Chengfeng hooked his lips, but didn't care about it any more, walked back along the road, searched around, passed an alley and backed back, his eyes fell into the alley.

Mu Wanhou tightly guarded his arms, in a protective posture: "You...what do you want to do! I'm going to call someone!"

As soon as the words fell, one of them flashed his dagger and said with a sinister smile: "Don't do anything, hand over the bank note!"

Mu Wanhou choked with despair and said, "This is my sister's life-saving money!"

The man looked like a prodigal, but his eyes were vicious, and he looked at him lewdly: "Oh! What sister... 1000 taels and we two brothers can live comfortably for most of our lives! Hand it over and spare your life!"

Mu Houhou was distraught and indignant, and he refused to hand over what he said.

The two of them didn't talk nonsense when they saw it and wanted to grab it. Suddenly, someone patted on the back. One of them turned his head impatiently, and shouted impatiently: "Which bastard dares to spoil me..."

Before the words were finished, the throat was choked, and then the whole person was pushed against the wall with a strong force, barely touching the ground with his toes.

One of them wanted to help when she saw this, but as soon as she approached, she was kicked by Lu Chengfeng and fell to the ground, writhing in pain. She threw the man in her hand and shouted coldly, "Get out!"

The two of them ran away in an instant.

Lu Chengfeng glanced at the people on the ground and said, "Where do you live? I'll take you back."

Mu Houwan lowered his eyes and bit his lips, "...the third alley in the east of the city."

She got up from the ground, slapped the dust on her body, and looked at Lu Chengfeng, but her eyes instantly became terrified, and she subconsciously backed away.

Lu Chengfeng squinted his eyes and turned around. At the entrance of the alley, Han Shushan was leaning against the wall and looking at him.

It's really haunting.

Lu Chengfeng didn't take it seriously, looked sideways and said, "Let's go."

Mu Wanhou was obviously very afraid of Han Shushan, and timidly followed Lu Chengfeng closely, and they were stopped when they passed the alley.

Han Shushan narrowed his eyes and said, "Lu Chengfeng, how do you explain this?"

"Oh? What does Master Tongzhi want me to explain? I'm just passing by, it's just a matter of convenience."

"Are you so kind?"

Lu Chengfeng smiled lightly: "I understand what you said, she is a weak woman, I feel pity for her, it's not surprising that she is pitied."

Han Shushan snorted: "Then you gave her 1000 taels because of your pity?"

Lu Chengfeng said in a low voice: "I am willing to have money, but Mr. Tongzhi wants to rob me?"

Lu Chengfeng glanced at the woman in the distance, she was looking this way frequently, and said: "Tonight is a festive season, Mr. Tongzhi doesn't accompany his wife, but instead chats with me, it's unbelievable."

Han Shushan looked sideways, his eyes were sharp like eagles: "Lu Chengfeng, you can pretend!"

Lu Chengfeng smiled lazily, and his tone was brisk: "This is wrong, people have thousands of faces, you only saw this side of me and said I can pretend, don't you know that you are also hypocritical, you are so persistent and clinging to me What kind of flattery does it look like to your wife? What kind of flattery does it look like to Commander Meng? You are also a man with thousands of faces, why are you accusing me, or are you saying that Tongzhi's food is too good on weekdays? "

Han Shushan snorted, "Sharp teeth!"

Lu Chengfeng squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "It's not as good as Tongzhi."

Lu Chengfeng was about to leave with his people, but Han Shushan stretched out his hand to stop him: "Be clear!"

Lu Chengfeng said: "No comment."

Han Shushan's breath froze, and there was a hostility all over his body.

Even though Mu Wanwan had seen all kinds of people, Jin Yiwei's whipping punishment was as vivid as last night, her body trembled unavoidably, and she hung her head behind Lu Chengfeng to hide.

Lu Chengfeng glanced at it and said: "Save your energy, you can't do anything to me, and I can't kill you. Of course, if you don't mind others watching, I will accompany you in this one, but it should be spread all over Yanjing City tomorrow." , Guess... what will they pass on?"
