Linjiang Mansion.
At midnight, it was already the dead of night.
But the Yuchun Building was still brightly lit, and the fragrance of rouge was overflowing.
It is the largest brothel in Linjiang Mansion, the girls in it are as beautiful as flowers and jade, and the oiran is even more versatile and as beautiful as a fairy.
It's snowing outside and it's freezing cold, but it's bustling inside.
The woman's coquettish wooing voice and the man's frivolous molesting words echoed and intertwined in the building.
The warm fragrance of nephrite jade in his arms, coupled with the numbness of alcohol, made the men forget that there were still wives and children waiting in worry at home.
A burly figure looked up at the plaque of Yuchun Tower with no expression on his face, and walked in immediately.
"ah-"
Suddenly, a girl's heartbroken screams sounded in a room.
People downstairs ran up one after another, only to see that the man in the good room had passed away, with a happy expression on his face.
"What... what's going on?"
After the bustard recovered from his daze, he hurriedly asked the frightened girl.
"Mom, I didn't kill people!"
The girl didn't care about her shirt or her body, so she crawled over and knelt in front of the bustard. She said in a tearful voice, "Just now, a black shadow flashed in just now, and that official...he died! Woooo— "
After the girl finished speaking, she covered her face in fear and wept bitterly.
The bustard calmed down and shouted: "Quick, go to the Yamen to report to the officials!"
The next day, men died in brothels of all sizes in Linjiang Mansion, all in exactly the same way.
This also made the girls in each building cleared of suspicion.
When Chu Sihan received this and returned to Linjiang Mansion, it was already after midnight.
For this matter, Lu Zhou and Lu Sheng are also traveling together.
Because Lu Zhou suspected that it was the "half human, half ghost" from the capital who came.
This matter quickly attracted the attention of the government, and all brothels were forced to close their doors immediately.
It is understood that these dead men had wives who were equally gentle, pure, kind, and hardworking.
"Master, can't it be the one from the capital?"
After understanding the situation, Lu Sheng hurriedly asked Lu Zhou.
"Nine times out of ten." Lu Zhou sighed softly, "Unexpectedly, he escaped from the capital to Linjiang Mansion."
"Master, what should we do next?"
Lu Sheng didn't care much about the lives of those scumbags, but she cared more about the hundred thousand taels.
Lu Zhou pondered for a moment, then looked at Chu Sihan and said, "Master Chu, quickly send someone to prepare things for practice."
He needs to know this thing.
Chu Sihan nodded solemnly, "What does the prince need?"
"Wait a moment."
After Lu Zhou finished speaking, he took out a pen and wrote a bunch of things on the paper.
Chu Sihan looked at his pen with surprise on his face.
He glanced at Lu Sheng, but saw that her face was calm, and she seemed not at all surprised by this "magic pen" that could write without dipping ink.
After writing the words, Lu Zhou capped the pen, then picked up the written paper and blew it a few times, handed it to Chu Sihan and said, "Just let someone do it according to the things on the paper."
"oh."
Chu Sihan took the paper, but his eyes still fell on the pen in his hand.
Lu Zhou ignored his curiosity and put away the pen directly.
"Chu Yun, I leave this to you."
Chu Sihan handed the paper to Chu Yun.
"yes!"
After Chu Yun left, he turned around and looked at Lu Zhou hesitantly.
Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "Master Chu, do you have any questions?"
"Just now... where did you buy the pen that the prince used?"
He looks much better than his brush!
