Knock on the door.
The wooden door opened slowly.
Half of his face appeared behind the door, watching Zhou Fei warily.
Zhou Fei asked: "Are you selling ancient artifacts here?"
The other party frowned: "You found the wrong place."
Close the door after speaking.
Zhou Fei put his foot against the crack of the door and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I was introduced by an acquaintance. Have Li Ziming heard of it?"
The person in the door heard the name, was startled for a moment, opened the door halfway, "Come in."
Zhou Fei walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back. Sure enough, there were a lot of bottles and cans in the courtyard.
"Come with me." The person who opened the door led Zhou Fei into the house and asked: "You said Li Ziming introduced you, do you have proof?"
Zhou Fei said, "You have let me in, so what do you need to do with the voucher?"
"This is the rule." The other party said solemnly: "Without proof, I'm not polite to you anymore."
Zhou Fei shook his head: "You are really a deadhead. There is no flexibility at all. This stronghold is left to you to take care of. Why do I feel a little susceptible?"
The other party was furious, and a dagger appeared in his hand, "If you don't say anything, I will be rude to you."
Zhou Fei took out a sign from his arms and threw it over.
"See for yourself."
The other party caught the sign and flipped it back and forth for a few times, then knelt on the ground with a bang: "Subordinates see the lord, there have been many offenses before, and I hope the lord will forgive me."
The sign that Zhou Fei threw out was given to him by His Majesty the Emperor before he set off. Holding this sign can mobilize the secret guards hidden in various parts of the country, and the way to find the secret guards is to make faces.
Zhou Fei said: "Get up, remember to be vigilant in the future."
"The subordinate must keep in mind today's lesson." The other party wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied in a low voice.
Zhou Fei found a place to sit down and said, "I am looking for you today to learn about the affairs between the Zhou family and Cuiluge."
The other party said: "Back to your lord, the Zhou family hoped that the girls in the Cuilu Pavilion would dance a dance of the devil, but the girls in the Cuilu Pavilion refused."
Zhou Fei suddenly realized.
It turned out that it was not the girl from Cuiluge who was brave, but the Zhou family deliberately made things difficult.
Heavenly Demon Dance, also known as the Sixteenth Heavenly Demon Dance, is a dance music introduced from the Qin State to the Tang Dynasty. Although there is a magic word in its name, it follows
It doesn't matter to the magic sect, the dance music expresses praise and praise to the emperor. However, because of the high requirements for comprehension, Cuiluge rarely performs this dance in public.
A few days ago, the Lvwu girl, the lead dancer of the Sixteen Devil Dance in the Cuilu Pavilion, was redeemed by a high-ranking official and went to work as a concubine at home. As a result, no one in the pavilion could dance this dance.
At this time, the Zhou family strongly demanded that the girl in the Green Pavilion must dance the Sixteen Heavens Demon Dance. Without a lead dancer, she would naturally not be able to dance, so she had no choice but to resign.
More importantly, this is a dance that can only be seen by the emperor. No matter how high the status of the Zhou family is, how can it be on par with the emperor.
If the girls in Cuiluge really did this dance, they would probably be dealt with as treason if they turned their heads.
But there is still the problem.
There is no reason.
It's really unreasonable that the high-ranking magnate in Guanzhong County, Li's most favored relative, had surrendered himself to make things difficult for the brothel girl.
Seeing Zhou Fei's brow furrowed, his subordinates cautiously said: "My lord, the younger one has a word, I don't know if it is inappropriate to say it."
Zhou Fei nodded: "But it doesn't hurt to say."
"Small thinks that the Zhou family asked the Cuilu Pavilion to dance the Sixteen Heavens Devil Dance, not to deal with a few brothel girls, but to come to you, an adult."
This statement attracted Zhou Fei's interest. He asked with interest, "Go on and talk."
"The Zhou family supports the eldest prince. After the Lord's battle with Monk Wanghuan, the eldest prince's line has been severely weakened. The eldest prince himself has even been sent to the frontier, and the Zhou family has invested a lot of effort on the prince. Naturally, he was unwilling to let the prince lose his holy favor."
"But since you represent the academy, my lord, they naturally dare not attack you directly. They knew that I was in Guanzhong County, and I couldn't bear to watch you leave, so I thought of such a way to test the lord. In fact, I don't care about the lord. Whether or not to intervene in the end, the girls in the Green Pavilion will not suffer too much, and the Zhou family has no guts to let them really dance the Sixteen Heavens Devil Dance on their birthday."
"But if an adult sits on the sidelines, it means the academy's attitude. The academy won't get involved in the battle to seize the prostitutes. Then the Zhou family's next actions will most likely be around the seizure of prostitutes."
After listening to his subordinates, Zhou Fei fell into deep thought.
After a cup of tea, Zhou Fei sighed and said, "I am a stray person from Wollongong. Why should I participate in the court battle? Does the Zhou family want to test the attitude of the academy, or Want to do more with this wave of temptation?"
"Subordinates don't dare to guess."
Zhou Fei said, "Bring paper and pen."
When his subordinates brought paper and pen, Zhou Fei took a pen and brewed for a while and wrote a letter.
"Think of a way to send it directly to the Zhou family's grandfather." Zhou Fei dried the ink and stuffed the letter into the envelope: "At the same time, tell them, don't try to test my attitude, otherwise I will really say that they can't bear it. ."
…
Qian Family Residence.
Cuiluge also lives here, with the envoys.
However, these girls only live in partial courtyards and are not allowed to enter or leave at will. Even if they want to go out, there are quota restrictions.
To put it bluntly, although these girls bear national responsibilities, they have not enjoyed the rights they deserve.
They were ordered by the emperor to go to the Xuankong Temple to perform. After showing the beginning and ending, there was no freedom to speak of the whole process. All actions must follow the opinions of the messenger group. To be more accurate, they must listen to Guo Zhenying's opinions.
When they first arrived in Guanzhong County, these girls really wanted to go shopping and shopping. Datang’s folk customs were very open, and women could also go to the streets alone, not to mention that they were women in the brothel, so they had no scruples.
However, after this incident, the girls lost their thoughts of going out to play, and they all looked sad.
The problem is already in front of them, but for these girls, they know the crux of the problem, but there is no way to solve it.
The only thing you can do is sigh.
Sigh endlessly.
The messenger regiment can’t count on it. Guo Zhenying couldn’t turn his face with the Zhou family for a group of brothel women, and just this morning, the Zhou family sent someone to pick Guo Zhenying away. Before leaving, the Zhou’s manager came back. Partial courtyard glanced at the girls.
Until now, the girls can't forget that look.
Like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, it makes people shudder.
"What do you guys do?"
Just when the girls were worried, a voice rang in the yard.
