The Eight Gates of the Imperial Palace are located on the northeast side of Yujing Lake. The entrance of the government office faces the main road, and there are exactly eight gates, so they are called the Eight Gates. At the same time, the Eight Gates are also divided into eight branches, which investigate difficult and complicated cases in all parts of the country.
Therefore, the Eight Gates do not accept ordinary cases. Ordinary cases are sent to the government offices in the capital. The cases of the Eight Gates are usually strange cases that the government offices in various places cannot solve, or major criminal cases.
Ordinary people know about the eight doors because they lead to the main road, but they never know that there is a ninth door.
Because this ninth door is the back door.
It was no wonder that Lin Tingjun was poor, Fu Mingrui had eight gates and eight courtyards. As for their ninth gate, the court gave them a backyard with eight gates, a small broken back door, and the way in and out was a small alley, so no one would see it.
At this time, the young warriors in the eight courtyards of the Eight Gates were actively training, some were shouting to get the sledgehammers, and some were shouting to lift the cauldrons. Only the courtyard of the Nine Gates was exceptionally quiet, with only an old man practicing Tai Chi.
The uncle's hair and beard were all gray, and he looked to be over fifty years old, but he was wearing the same black robe as Lin Tingjun, with black dragon patterns embroidered on the sleeves.
My uncle is very good at Tai Chi. His movements are smooth and his steps are powerful.
There are three houses on the three sides of the yard, and the hall in the middle. At this time, a bald fat man came out from the side door of the hall with a bowl of big white steamed buns. After putting the steamed buns on the round table in the hall, he sat aside and watched the uncle practicing Tai Chi with a smile, gently twisting a string of Bodhi beads in his hand.
The door on the east side opened, and a handsome young man came out. He had a pair of fox eyes, and was charming even without smiling. He had an oval face and a cherry mouth. From a distance, he looked like a charming and lovely woman, and it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
At this moment, the door opposite him also opened, and a girl who looked similar to him came out. She was also wearing a black palace robe, but the style was more feminine and gentle.
The girl pouted when she saw him, "How annoying! I'm in telepathic communication with you every day. When you wake up, I wake up too. Can't you just sleep a little longer? Look at me, I still have dark circles under my eyes!"
The boy saw the girl and laughed at her: "You blame me for the dark circles under your eyes? Didn't you go somewhere to peek at a man taking a bath last night?"
"Puh! Puh! Puh! Puh!" the girl jumped up and down in anger. "Only a pervert like you would peek at a girl taking a bath! Go to hell!" As the girl spoke, she swung her sleeves and a dart flew out immediately, heading straight for the uncle who was practicing Tai Chi in the yard.
The uncle's gray eyebrows twitched, he bent down, and the dart flew over the back of his head and hit the boy directly.
The young man glared at him with his fox eyes: "Oh my God! You want to murder your brother so early in the morning? Come on! I'm afraid of you!" The young man jumped up, raised his foot, and kicked the dart back.
So, the uncle turned around again to let the dart fly by.
"Why don't you just die! Why do I have a brother like you!" The girl pushed out her palm and a stream of air shot out, pushing back the dart that hadn't gotten close yet.
The uncle sighed again, stopped and moved his feet to avoid the darts, and stopped fighting. Darts were flying all over the place in the early morning, which was too exciting for his heart.
The young man smiled triumphantly: "God sent me to suppress your mischief. Without me, I think you would want to go to heaven!" The young man raised his hand to push the dart back, but suddenly he saw a gorgeous dress opposite him. He hurriedly changed the pushing force into suction and forcibly sucked the dart back. The dart flew across his palm, and a trace of blood was instantly brought out.
"Hiss!" He took a light breath, quickly put his hands behind his back, squeezed them, and when he opened his palms, the bloodstains on the palms had disappeared!
He hurriedly wiped the remaining blood on his hands on his robe, raised his hand to support himself on the door frame, showed his most handsome smile, and smiled brightly at the woman who walked out of the opposite door: "Sanniang, you are up."
A beautiful woman walked out from beside the girl. When the woman appeared, the whole yard was immediately brightened.
In the whole courtyard, only the woman was not wearing the black robe of the imperial palace, but a peony-shaped skirt. The collar of the skirt was wide open, revealing her slender white neck, exquisite collarbone, slightly exposed sphenoid bone on the back, and towering breasts in front, sexy and beautiful, making people unable to look away.
If you don't know, you might think he went to some brothel and met some courtesan.
The woman's clothes were already extremely sexy and attractive, and her appearance was even more stunning. Her eyebrows were as thin as black, her eyes were as bright as the moon, her nose was as delicate as a drop of water, her lips were as slightly upturned as a baby's, her skin was as smooth as a baby's, and her beauty was mouth-watering.
She was like a peony, outshining all the other beauties. No wonder the boy felt so light when he saw her.
Sanniang didn't look at the boy. She put a pipe into her red lips, took a light puff, and slowly exhaled. She glanced at the boy lazily and said in a low voice: "Yunxi, don't let your coquettish smell spread out so early in the morning. It stinks."
The young man who was called Yunxi froze immediately. The girl standing next to Sanniang clapped her legs and laughed: "Hahaha—Brother, you are so sexy, hahaha—"
The uncle in the yard and the bald fat man in the hall all laughed.
Yun Xi puffed up his face, and after a while, he raised his head to sniff the air, and suddenly gave the girl a wicked smile: "Hey, Lin Tingjun is back!"
"Really!" The girl's almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened, and she ran towards the door excitedly. Halfway through, she turned around, thrust her waist forward, puffed up her face, and her nostrils turned up to the sky: "Is my name Hello?! Don't I have a name? I am your sister Yun Yao! Humph!" She shook her pretty face, jumped to the door, and looked forward to it.
Yunxi glanced at Sanniang shyly. Sanniang was puffing out smoke with a slight smile on her face.
"Little Rinko is back, let's go see her together." The bald fat man walked towards the uncle. The uncle was a little hunchbacked, and he bent over and walked towards the door with the bald fat man.
In the alley outside the Ninth Gate, a carriage was coming hurriedly.
Lin Tingjun turned his head slightly and said, "We're here."
From the side of the curtain behind him, a soft, white hand stretched out, lifted the curtain, and out came a Lian Youyou.
Lian Youyou came out and leaned her elbow on the back of Lin Tingjun's neck to look into the distance. She saw the girl Yun Yao standing in the alley in front of her. She curled her lips and smiled: "Oh, not bad~~ Lin Tingjun, you are quite charming. Little sister is waiting for you~~~"
Lin Tingjun was too lazy to pay attention to Lian Youyou and slowly pulled the reins.
Lian Youyou looked at the dilapidated Nine Gates from afar. Here comes the great trickster Lian~~~
When Lian Youyou saw Yun Yao, Yun Yao also saw Lian Youyou. Her eyes immediately widened to their maximum size, and she was furious: "Who the hell is that woman! How dare she lie on my brother Lin!"
"What? Lin Tingjun is actually getting close to a woman?!" When Yun Xi heard this, he jumped out of the yard. Even Sanniang stopped smoking and followed him with her skirt lifted.
At the ninth door, a row of people stood out, just to see the woman who could get close to Lin Tingjun.
Lin Tingjun is well-known in the Nine Gates for not being interested in women. Everyone knows his problem. He is face-blind to women. He is the only man in the world who can't tell Sanniang and Yunyao apart. Not to mention that Sanniang is so beautiful, Yunyao is cute and lovely, completely different, but he can't tell them apart.
