After being exiled, I became a star boss

Chapter 19

"Liu Heizi is not dead!"

一
Chang'an City at dusk is shrouded in boundless twilight.

However, Nanqu Alley has been redecorated for the Shangsi Festival, and all the colored silk tied on the gate tower has been replaced with new ones, reflecting colorful brilliance under the moonlight.

The three- to four-storey restaurant was full of customers, plus the prostitutes doing business and the waiters jumping up and down, the wooden floor boards creaked.

The noise rose from the crowded night market downstairs all the way to the top floor of the restaurant, resounding through the sky, making the moon in the sky lose its sense of tranquility, and the whiteness was a bit noisy and dazzling.

The door of Yunqi Flower Shop was closed, but it was deserted and quiet inside.

"Oh..." Yun Qi looked at the twilight outside the pavilion and sighed again, his fingers lazily plucked the strings, the strings trembled slightly, and moaned out of boredom.

"You've been out of your mind for most of the day," Hong Xiao, who came to teach her how to play the piano, casually hooked up a wonderful voice, teaching her how to tame men.

"Men have to be coaxed, especially those rich and powerful like the Dou family. How can you grow and sell flowers with such sincerity? You can still make a good man with flowers every day. I am really convinced." .”

Yun Qi plucked the strings of the qin again, and the sound of the qin rang, pouted, "I'm forced to eat chicken breast every day now, and I'm not allowed to ride on my head in the future. I'm not in a hurry."

"This is already imminent, isn't it urgent?" Hongxiao asked sharply: "You have known each other for three months. Where does he live? Who else is there? According to his family background, there are more than [-] people in his family." , I didn’t say, [-]% already have a wife, maybe they even have children... Well, I won’t talk about this, you have to remember—before you promise him anything, you must clarify these things.”

Yun Qi held his face, stared blankly at the last quarter moon hanging over the forest, and murmured: "I asked him, and he said that his mother has passed away, and there is only his old father at home."

"Are you married?"

"I didn't ask."

"When will you meet your parents?"

"Of course I didn't ask, why are you in a hurry to see me?"

"Ah," Hung Hom's almond eyes widened, "I've been doing it for a long time, and it's useless."

"I don't intend to marry, so I asked him what he was doing for marriage?" Yun Qi lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Besides, if he really meant that, he would naturally ask me, why bother to ask?"

"Don't feel ashamed." Hong Hom is a military adviser with experience, "For a talent like San Lang, all the famous ladies in the capital are staring at him. If you can't wait, if you like it, you should take the initiative to fight for it. Happiness is firmly in your hands."

"I haven't decided whether to marry or not. Isn't it good now?"

Hongxiao sneered twice, and the strings of the zither plucked loudly, "We, a serious girl, married at the age of 15. I have to remind you that you are already married, and you should plan for yourself, otherwise you won't be able to marry in the future."

Yun Qi snorted twice, "Get married at the age of 15, people in our country don't need to get married at all."

"Miss, do as the Romans do, you mess around here, and if you haven't married in your twenties, you'll be drowned in spittle."

Yun Qi didn't make a sound and sighed deeply.

"Ask yourself, do you want to know where his family lives? Are you married?"

——If in the future, Yun Qi might still find a way to go back, but in the Tang Dynasty 2000 years ago, wanting to go back to find Ouyang Yunfei was like a dream, alas, could it be that he was so lonely waiting for him and looking for him all his life? There are several decades in a person's life, and it will pass in the blink of an eye.

This Dou Sanlang is top-notch both in character and appearance. The most important thing is that he considers everything thoroughly and is good at taking care of others. Unknowingly, Yun Qi has gotten used to him arranging everything.

But since he is the kind of person who is used to foresight and foresight, if he is really interested in him, why doesn't he take the initiative to talk about it...

After being silent for a while, Yun Qi finally nodded, "Whatever I think, no matter what, I won't speak first."

Looking at the shy and innocent Yun Qi, Hongxiao sighed in her heart, thinking that Dou Sanlang might plan to treat her as a concubine, and was rather annoyed.

"If you're embarrassed to ask, it's not difficult to get an answer. There are many famous nobles in Chang'an City, including Wang Shilang's son. You have an appointment to meet tomorrow night. Let's hide quietly and let Wang Yun see him. , I will find bad people to check his roots in the future."

On a quiet night, the moonlight covered Dou Sanlang's body like water, reflecting the man standing under the bamboo moon in meditation into a mountain.

A ghostly black shadow suddenly appeared in the night sky, with its toes lightly tapping on the bamboo tip, it rose and fell four or five times in a row, and swept across the bamboo forest shrouded in night mist like a night owl. In the blink of an eye, the shadow stood behind Dou Sanlang.

"Owner--"

"You're back, what's going on with him?"

"Liu Heikai was captured, and Hebei, Henan, and Shandong have all been pacified."

"Well, I have read the prince's report to the imperial court, and Liu Heizi has been beheaded."

"Liu Heizi is not dead."

Dou Sanlang turned around quickly, and said in astonishment: "Let the tiger go back to the mountain, the harm will be endless, and Liu Heizi has escaped again?"

"That's not true. The prince has brought him back to the capital, and he is now hiding in the East Palace."

Dou Sanlang frowned thinking, and said slowly: "Where is it locked? Can there be any evidence?"

"When Liu Heizi was about to die, he asked to meet the prince. The prince immediately stepped back and stayed alone with Liu Heizi for a long time. His subordinates were not able to enter at that time, but they heard a few exclamations from the military tent, and the prince kept saying Asked in amazement, "Seriously.", the subordinate became suspicious, and wanted to inquire a little more, but the two people in the tent suddenly lowered their voices, which showed the secret of the matter. The subordinate guessed that Liu Heizi must reveal some shocking secrets in order to save his life. Nuo, I won't kill him. Afterwards, my subordinates dug up Liu Heizi's body from the random graveyard and asked someone to identify it, only to find that the person who was beheaded was not him at all."

"This is the crime of deceiving the emperor. It can be seen that the secret...do you have a clue?"

"The subordinates have not yet been identified."

"Who did you find to identify the corpse?"

"Liu Heizi's woman in Changle."

"Where is that woman now?"

"Liu Heizi was defeated and fled. That woman is the number one card in Chunyuefang, and she has gone back now."

"That is to say, when Liu Heizi was in Changle, this woman was always by his side."

"Yes."

"Bring her to Chang'an, and I will interrogate her myself."

"Yes."

"Does Liu Heizi have any close friends?"

The masked man in black shook his head, "When Liu Heizi was defeated, only one hundred and ten people were taken with him. Zhuge Dewei later captured them and dedicated them to the crown prince. The beheaded person was Liu Heizi's close confidant."

Dou Sanlang fell into deep thought again, at this moment, a servant had already arrived outside Zhang Xu, and said with his head: "Master, Captain Wang has arrived and is waiting in the side hall."

Dou Sanlang waved his hand at the man in black, "You have worked hard, step back."

On the night of the Shangsi Festival, when the lanterns are first lit, the flowing water is shining with fine silver scales under the light of the first quarter moon.

The night market by the Qujiang River is full of people.

Wang Yun booked a box at the Ziyun Building near Qujiang Pavilion, where he could drink and taste fresh food upstairs first.

This idea is very thoughtful. Sitting on the Ziyun Tower, you can not only enjoy the sunset on the Qujiang River, but also watch various activities such as offering sacrifices to the river god, releasing water lanterns, and visiting the garden.

I heard that this Wang Yun works in the Jinwu Guard and is responsible for protecting the security of the capital. He has been pursuing the red silk, but he is extremely shy and doesn't know how to please girls.

Hongxiao is the oiran of Shuiyue Tower, a wealthy family spends a lot of money and flocks to her. There are so many small officials like Wang Yun in Chang'an City. If it is not because he is very familiar with the personnel and affairs of the capital, he seems to be honest and obedient. Can't get into the red eye.

The host was Wang Yun, but after entering the box, he sat down seriously in casual clothes.

A pair of handsome eyes kept looking at Yun Qi, with a hidden sharp edge, as if he was not here to have a drink and have fun, but to examine the suspect.

Hong Kao seems to be very casual, but she is skillful in facing this situation.

She enthusiastically poured wine and served vegetables for everyone, stripped chickens and peeled fish, and quickly made up for the embarrassment caused by Wang Yun and Yun Qi's unfamiliarity with each other and their shyness.

After three cups of yellow soup, Wang Yun's face turned red immediately, his handsome eyes were full of enthusiasm, he grabbed the pipa that Hongxiao was carrying, and repeatedly said that Hongxiao would teach him.

How to teach?

Two people piled on top of each other, holding hands, ear to ear... Playing the piano randomly
The atmosphere in the box immediately became strangely hot.

——I'm going to die, I didn't expect Yun Qi to turn into a light bulb after eating half full.

She lowered her head, pushed a few mouthfuls of rice vigorously into her mouth, wiped away the half-eaten roasted chicken leg, picked up the wine glass and finished the little yellow soup on her back, watched the two of them flirt with each other, squeezed back and forth, and just walked away down to play.

The lights on both sides of the Qujiang River shrouded in night are brightly lit, and there are many tourists.

Yun Qi walked alone on the road, surrounded by bustling vendors and pedestrians, and the night market was full of all kinds of miscellaneous goods, mainly snacks, jewelry, makeup, and needlework.

On weekdays, he hides in a flower shop and is busy with business, and Nanqu is a place of fireworks, so Yun Qi seldom comes out to shop.

Seeing so many novelties tonight, she couldn't help but look here and there and touch them.

I bought a bunch of candied haws for five Wen, and walked around while eating.

A stall was very lively, attracting Yunqi to it.

It turned out to be a stall selling sachets.

"Girl, let's get a sachet!" The stall owner yelled enthusiastically, "Send it to your lover, send it to your husband, send it to your little brother, it's all available in a variety of styles, and you can also customize the fragrance."

After the customer selects the sachet, according to the requirements, the store will provide a one-stop service of incense distribution and filling, and the customers will naturally fill the door.

Yun Qi had been thinking of sewing a sachet for Dou Sanlang as a token of gratitude, but she couldn't even do needlework, so she just bought a ready-made one.

Saburo likes to wear vermilion robes, and she finally picked two of them, a yellow sparrow embroidered with a moon-white background and holding a silver ring—to show her gratitude, and a double lotus embroidered with a lavender background—both of which were happy.

She is a person who likes to be prepared.

Walking and walking, people have come to the riverside.

There were fewer pedestrians, and the night wind blew on the surface of the river, which was gloomy and chilly to the bone.

She trembled all over, turned around and looked, she was far away from the busy city.

But the road ahead seems to be blocked by a boundless apricot forest.

In the darkness, a mass of white flowers was blown by the wind and stuck to her face.

Yun Qi stretched out his hand in surprise—the petals of apricot blossoms, and the half-burned Mingqian.

Her hands trembled in the wind, and the snow-like apricot blossoms mixed with the ashes of Mingqian drifted with the wind and melted into the gloomy night.

Waves of whimpering and moaning from the Ghost Crying God drifted over with the rich fragrance of apricot blossoms.
