King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 73 Clues
"Fragrance of red lotus root~Jade bamboo mat autumn~"

"Easy solution to Luoshang ~ On the orchid boat alone ~"

The singing was soft and the piano was melodious. Zhu Jinghong was so fascinated by it that he even sang along.

This poem is very famous, the teacher taught it in the class in the previous life, and also played the effect of singing, Zhu Jinghong was very impressed by it.

Even after listening to it now, he still feels very familiar, and can even sing along.

"Stop!"

Zhu Jinghong spoke suddenly, the song stopped naturally, and a group of dancers also froze in place.

"You... come here!" Zhu Jinghong pointed to one of the dancing girls.

The accused girl was under the spotlight of everyone, her face blushed for a while, and then she walked towards Zhu Jinghong with her skirt lifted.

Looking at the beauty standing in front of him, Zhu Jinghong asked with a smile, "Why do you keep staring at me?"

From the time travel to the present, few people looked at him directly, but the woman in front of him was uncharacteristically, which made Zhu Jinghong curious.

"Young master is handsome, I can't help looking more, so I was rude... Please forgive me, young master!"

Hearing the situation, the mother in charge rushed over to greet her, and repeatedly said: "Young master, don't blame me, the hairy girl is ignorant, I'll take her down and punish her!"

Mother Hu was really scared. Although she couldn't guess Zhu Jinghong's identity, she still remembered He Jiayan's warning.

Ignoring Mother Hu, Zhu Jinghong smiled and said, "Handsome? You can really talk!"

The woman replied: "everything I said is true, the young master is so handsome and elegant, it is really rare to see!"

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong likes to listen to good things, Mama Hu felt relieved and did not stop the girl from replying.

"Okay, you dance well, let's watch!"

Zhu Jinghong didn't bring any money with him, but basically his followers, such as Deng An who followed him this time.

After Zhu Jinghong spoke, the little eunuch grabbed two gold leaves from his arms and handed them to the dancing girl.

After taking a few more glances at the feminine Deng An, the dancing girl took the golden leaf, and the mother Hu who was beside her was so anxious that she repeatedly scolded: "Hurry up and thank you, sir!"

"Thank you, Young Master, for the reward!"

Zhu Jinghong was really happy to see that other people were also eagerly watching, and he continued to order: "Reward...all rewards!"

Anyway, today was a free prostitution, and he didn't spend much money, so he simply spent it extravagantly today, and rewarded all the girls present.

After grabbing a handful of gold leaves and throwing them out, Deng An couldn't help muttering: "Master Thirteen, we didn't bring many gold leaves!"

"Really? You can use your idle money!"

What is idle silver?Deng An didn't react for a while.

But seeing that Zhu Jinghong had turned his head, staring at him coldly, he said, "You are very rich, you have been behind my back these days... the money you collected outside is at least a thousand taels!"

"Why... you are willing to use it to honor your godfather, but you don't want to use it for me?"

Hearing the end, Deng An's ghosts were all gone, he knelt on the ground with a "plop", and kept kowtowing for mercy: "You slave should die, you slave should die!"

Deng An was really scared. He never expected that Zhu Jinghong would know what he did behind his back.

This is actually not surprising, the eunuchs that Zhu Jinghong served, at least there were no.

It's just that Zhu Jinghong didn't care about it in the past. Although Deng An was a bit greedy, this guy is still capable of handling things, so Zhu Jinghong tolerated him.

The more gold leaves brought out today, the more rewards there are from the outside world, the less this guy keeps privately.

For the sake of getting more, this guy dared to cry for poverty, and greedy for money came to his own head, how could Zhu Jinghong not get angry.

Seeing that Du Deng An had knocked his head to pieces, Zhu Jinghong didn't get rid of his anger, but scolded: "What's the use of kowtowing? Get out of here!"

Under Zhu Jinghong's fierce gaze, Deng An still had the guts to defend herself, and crawled out without hesitation.

In the scene just now, it happened to be seen by a group of dancers, and they were so frightened that the gold leaves in their hands were not fragrant.

Zhu Jinghong didn't take it seriously, he waved his sleeves and said, "Continue to play the music, and continue to dance!"

The singing and dancing continued, but Lu Yuxin and Zhang Lin, who were accompanying them, felt a chill in their backs when the heat of June was rising.

Today, they scolded Hou Jing first, and then beat Deng An. Both of them were close to Zhu Jinghong, but they ended up in this way.

Thinking of this, the two of Lu and Zhang actually had the feeling of "accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger", and even in a trance, they suspected that the figure in front of them was the current Holy Majesty.

Deng An left lonely, and after a while the rewarded girls also disembarked, followed by another wave of people to replace them.

Those who were replaced all left the boat in small boats, and there were already two carriages waiting on the shore.

After the boat docked, a group of women boarded the carriage one after another.

When it was Zhu Jinghong's turn to reward the girl alone, the horse jumped up in fright, and the shaking of the carriage made her lose her balance.

But the girl had sharp eyesight and quick hands, grabbed the door lintel of the carriage, then pulled herself back, and quickly got into the carriage.

Although the time was short, he was noticed by Chen Yuntai by the side of the road, which made him suspicious immediately.

The move just now, not to mention a weak woman, even a man with agility and strength may not be able to hold it steady.

This woman...may have a problem!

The person on the painting boat is the extremely honorable Thirteenth Lord. If a woman with problems approached him, would there be any conspiracy?
This matter needs to be investigated clearly, maybe it will be more useful than investigating the Bailian Sect rebel... Chen Yuntai thought to himself.

The carriage had already driven out, Chen Yuntai ordered two capable subordinates, and followed them out quietly.

The carriage walked around the back lake for less than two or three miles, and entered a courtyard with three big characters "Lan Kwai Fong" written on it.

"You stare at the front, you go to the back door to stare!"

"Yes!"

Arranged his subordinates to stay for a while, while Chen Yuntai found a big tree nearby, climbed up and hid among the leaves, observing the situation in Lan Kwai Fong.

Although Lan Kwai Fong has a nice name, it is actually a high-end brothel, and only high-ranking officials and dignitaries are not allowed to enter.

After a while, the captain who was sent to the back door came to report: "My lord, someone came out from the back door, it's a Lianjiazi!"

Hearing that there was a real situation, Chen Yuntai immediately became excited. If some major case was uncovered and solved, he would have a chance to make a fortune.

"Hurry up and follow!"

"I'm afraid it's too far away, it's too late!"

At this time, Chen Yuntai only regretted that he didn't bring a few more people, so that he could fully arrange the manpower.

"Is there a woman out?"

"no!"

Chen Yuntai was relieved a lot. As long as that woman is still there, the clues will not be broken.

So he recalled it repeatedly in his heart, constantly strengthening his impression of this woman, and he could only recognize it when necessary.

"Go and call the two brothers, after today we will fight here!" Chen Yuntai said in a deep voice.

"My lord, is there something tricky here?"

"Nine times out of ten!"

Chen Yuntai has handled many major cases, and since he said that there are nine out of ten cases, basically this matter is a certainty.

Another lieutenant asked: "Since it's tricky, why don't you just rush in, arrest people and torture them severely, everything will be clear!"

"Then we can only catch some small fish and shrimps, do you understand by following the clues? We want to catch big fish!" Chen Yuntai explained in a low voice.

In order to claim credit, Chen Yuntai was extremely cautious, and after thinking for a while, he bid farewell: "Tell brothers, don't say anything about this beforehand, lest others steal the case!"
