Chapter [-]: Looking for Flowers in the Fog

Chen Mengsheng and others stepped into the boat, only to find that there were nearly a hundred beauties surrounded by fat swallows and thin flowers like jade on the boat.The guests on the boat were full of seats, drinking and talking and laughing, filling the boat with spring.The old bustard is a middle-aged woman with still charm, came over and bowed to Chen Mengsheng and the three of them, and Chen Mengsheng looked at the women in the boat and didn't see anything unusual.

The old bustard said: "The three young masters must have other plans to come to my boat. The Xingyue boat has been on the Slender West Lake for a year and a half. Why did you come here? The young masters have already seen it when they got on the boat."

Chen Mengsheng said with a smile: "The three of us only came here for more than 40 murders in Yangzhou Mansion!"

The old bustard Zhen Jingrong's expression remained unchanged, she glanced at Chen Mengsheng and the others and said: "This is not a place to talk, some gentlemen come with me." Zhen Jingrong whispered a few words to Zhidie, then turned around and went up the stairs of the painting boat .

There is an elegant room on the third floor of Huafang, and a furnace of sandalwood is burning in the room.Zhen Jingrong made a pot of tea and said to Chen Mengsheng: "This place is quiet and undisturbed. If you have any questions, please ask."

"Three days ago, He Qingquan and two of his friends stayed overnight in this boat, but died at home in a strange way yesterday. In the past year or so, as many as 47 people have died like He Qingquan. I have checked that most of them have been to the Xingyue Painting Boat before their lifetime."

Mrs. Zhen took a sip of the fragrant tea and said: "The 47 murders mentioned by the young master, as early as half a year ago, the county magistrate Wang Jiwang brought people to investigate. Later, we simply led troops to encircle the Slender West Lake. Our business is also miserable, I wonder what you young masters are going to investigate when you come to Xingyue Huafang tonight?" The old bustard Zhen's tone was neither humble nor overbearing, and his words were tight .

Chen Mengsheng asked: "Have all the girls on the Xingyue Painting Boat been in the lower cabin?"

"My lord, you have seen that the girl in the cabin is an ordinary person in the Xingyue Painting Boat. Except for the four big oirans on my boat, everyone is in the cabin."

"Four big oirans? Why don't they come out?" Xiang Xiaotian asked.

"Hehe, since you are an oiran, of course you won't come out easily. Those girls are all pure ladies, and only those who are attractive to girls can go up."

Jiang Meng slapped the table and shouted: "Bold bustard, we have been entrusted by the magistrate Mr. Zhu to investigate the case. You go and invite the four big oirans out. I will send troops to surround your Xingyue painting boat if I miss the official duties."

"Oh, this young master is so powerful. I, Zhen Jingrong, have been operating this boat for more than ten years. I have never seen any high-ranking officials. I have kindly invited you to the private room, but you come to me Shake your face. Hmph, please go ahead, Xingyue Huafang waits for your soldiers and horses to come and investigate again."

Chen Mengsheng got up and said with a smile: "Boss Zhen, don't be angry, since the four big oirans are inconvenient to see guests, then we will disturb you, and we will leave now."

Jiang Meng angrily followed Chen Mengsheng out of the private room, and the three of them came to the cabin of the painting boat and saw a strange scene.The girls in the boat surrounded a guest, and there were more than a dozen people who toasted and flattered them.The drinking guests all looked sideways, the old bustard Zhen frowned and said, "What are you doing?" After being scolded by the old bustard, all the girls laughed and laughed.

Chen Mengsheng was surprised to find that the person surrounded by the girls turned out to be Shangguan Yanran disguised as a man. Shangguan Yanran's pretty face was flushed, and he didn't know whether she was drunk or humiliated by all the girls just now.Shangguan Yanran saw tears of grievance flickering in Chen Mengsheng's eyes, she opened her mouth to scream but was afraid of being made fun of by Xiang Xiaotian and Jiang Meng, so she forcefully forced the screaming back into her stomach...

The big teapot Zhidie stepped downstairs from the boat ladder on the other side of the boat, smiled and said to Shangguan Yanran: "What a handsome and handsome brother, no wonder the Qiongkui Pavilion on the second floor is invited." Shangguan Yanran What Zhidie said was even more at a loss, rubbing his hands and secretly looking at Chen Mengsheng.Chen Mengsheng did not expect that Shangguan Yanran would be able to meet the last few women he had never seen before on the Xingyue Huafang, so he gave Shangguan Yanran a slight look, led Xiang Xiaotian and Jiang Meng out of the Xingyue Huafang, and brushed with Shangguan Yanran As they passed by, they quietly stuffed two bank notes into Shangguan Yanran's hands.

Shangguan Yanran, a smart person, immediately understood that the senior brother wanted her to help him investigate the case.Lowering her voice, she said to Zhidie: "The sisters here are already beautiful, are the girls on the second floor prettier than them?" Shangguan Yanran's words made all the girls in the painting happy, and they became more attentive She toasted, and punched ### on Shangguan Yanran's shoulder.For a moment, beside Shangguan Yanran, long sleeves were blowing and the wind was gusting, full of breasts and fat buttocks followed one after another.The man who painted the boat also took the opportunity to boo: "I said you boy, we guys come to Xingyue Painted Boat every day, and I don't even know where the door of the Qiongkui Pavilion on the second floor opens!"

Some also shouted: "A glass of wine on the second floor costs 500 taels of silver. Why don't we discuss it, and I can go up for you..."

Shangguan Yanran felt uncomfortable being booed by the male passengers on board, she reached into her sleeve and pretended to take out a bank note and slapped it on the table.Zhi Die laughed coquettishly and said: "It's not that you don't know the rules on the Xingyue Huaboat. As the saying goes, you will fall if you compare goods, and you will die if you compare people. This little brother don't want to listen to their nonsense, if he is lucky It would be a romantic story to win the first prize of one of the oirans, but it would be vulgar to mention money. Brother, please come upstairs with me, some of the young men in the cabin have been here for half a year, and they don't have such an honor. "Shangguan Yanran stepped onto the second floor of the boat amidst the jealous eyes of the women in the cabin and the resentful expressions of the men...

The three of Chen Mengsheng were sent ashore by the guide boy, while Xiang Xiaotian and Jiang Meng were still suffocating in their hearts.Complaining that Chen Mengsheng shouldn't just leave Xingyue Huafang, there must be secrets among the four big oirans on the second floor.

Chen Mengsheng said with a smile: "Don't be impatient, two elder brothers. We are here to investigate the case, not to see the four big oirans. If it is really what they did, if we go up and forcefully identify people now, we can only scare the snake away."

Xiang Xiaotian wondered: "Brother, can't you see ghosts and ghosts?"

Chen Mengsheng shook his head and said: "I didn't find any evil spirits in the painting boat. Please go back first, two big brothers, and then I will visit the Xingyue painting boat secretly. Junior sister Shangguan is also on the boat now, I need to go and take care of it." to her."

Xiang Xiaotian and Jiang Meng were surprised and said in unison: "What? That girl is also on the boat?" The two of them were so busy on the boat that they gasped, but they didn't see Shangguan Yanran who was disguised as a man.Seeing Chen Mengsheng jumping up into the air, Xiang Xiaotian and Jiang Meng riding back on horseback...

On the second floor of the Xingyue Painting Boat, there is a bead curtain and jade building. In the cabin, there is a huge plaque on the Golden House Painting Building. On the huge plaque, there are three big characters of "Qiongkui Pavilion" written in golden light. Zhidie smiled and gently pushed Shangguan Yanran. "Brother, go in by yourself. I wish you a beautiful woman, Zhidie will stop bothering you." Zhidie turned and went downstairs. Shangguan Yanran was in a dilemma. Unintentionally, she looked out the window and saw Chen Mengsheng floating in the air. out the window.

"Senior brother, what should I do?" Shangguan Yanran opened the small window carved with red sandalwood on the painting boat.

Chen Mengsheng said softly: "Junior Sister, I have already seen those four girls in the lobby on the second floor, and indeed found something suspicious. Especially the two girls in red and green clothes. But I can't see They have black demonic aura. Junior sister will go to check on them first, and I will be right outside the window. If there are really goblins, I will definitely escape my evil spirit. Junior sister, please rest assured and go in quickly, everything will be adaptable."

Shangguan Yanran nodded and walked into the Qiongkui Pavilion, after several twists and turns in the corridors, he finally saw four beautiful women.The four women are each wearing pink, dark green, light yellow, and bright purple four-color skirts, each with its own unique charm.Under the slender jade neck of the woman in red, there is a piece of plump breasts like creamy white jade, which is half hidden, her plain waist is tied, but she can't hold it. Hairpin, with a slender figure, is coquettish and seductive.The dark green woman wore a green smoked sweater, a pleat skirt of water mist and green grass, a thin emerald veil, if the shoulders were cut into a waist, and the muscles were like orchids.She is charming and boneless.The girl in the light yellow skirt stood at the door with a smile, her skin was as radiant as snow, and her eyes were like a pool of clear water. This girl's appearance was extremely beautiful, she was really like a pearl shining brightly, and there was a hint of bookishness between her brows and eyes. clear air.The youngest of the four should be a woman in bright purple hiding in the crowd, her face is half covered by the purple gauze, her almond eyes are wide open, still reflecting astonishment.She was wearing a bright purple and elegant long dress, her black hair was draped like a waterfall on the side, and she had a simple and elegant face with a faint smile...

The girl in the light yellow skirt at the door saluted and said with a smile: "Young master, you don't have to be so restrained, our four sisters were still laughing at you just now, you blushed like a little girl."

Shangguan Yanran said awkwardly: "Haven't you asked the names of the four girls?"

The woman in red said: "The little girl Rouzhi is the eldest among the four sisters here. She is eighteen this year. The girl in yellow who is talking to the young master is one year younger than me, and her name is Qiuju."

The bright purple girl hiding behind pointed to the girl in the dark green pleated skirt in front of her and said: "My name is Zixia, her name is Bihen, we are both fifteen at the same age." Seeing Xia's pretty face, the four girls made a fuss.The coquettishness makes people love and pity, and the bursts of light fragrance make people ecstasy...

Shangguan Yanran murmured to herself: "The rouge is like the tide reflecting the purple clouds, and the autumn chrysanthemum is like the water shining on the blue marks. The four girls are as good as their names, and they are born to be beautiful."

Bihen laughed and said, "I don't know your son's name yet?"

Shangguan Yanran turned her eyeballs and said: "Since meeting by chance is fate for three lives, why meet each other before?" Shangguan Yanran can clearly see the cabin of the boat through the ivory curtains hanging around.I thought I was going to tell the girls that my name was Chen Mengsheng, but after thinking about it, I decided it was inappropriate to just pretend to be deaf and dumb...
