Kangpingfang, brightly lit, with carved beams and painted buildings, Tibetan people, painted boats in the lake with red makeup, a red silk, and juveniles fighting over their heads.
Before the four talents arrived at the workshop, they saw the bustling and bustling Shili Long Street, with the sound of laughter, play, and dancing.
Wen Heyin hesitated: "It turned out to be a brothel"
"Speaking of the brothel, I can see the leopard from the inside." Pei Hantang smiled and leaned over, hugging Wen Heyin's shoulder, "This song, singing and dancing, and rafting on the lake are all the joy of spring and snow."
Wen Heyin pouted: "Anyway... It's a romantic place anyway!"
Pei Hantang winked his eyes: "Isn't there a saying that people don't want to be a frivolous boy?"
Wen Heyin: "Take your hand away!"
Pei Hantang was startled and withdrew his hand: "Yo, so fierce?"
Wen Heyin stood next to Mu Zhiming. Pei Hantang's eyes fell on Mu Zhiming. Seeing Mu Zhiming looking curiously at the high pavilions on both sides of the street, he asked with a smile: "Mr. Is this your first time here at Kangpingfang?"
Mu Zhiming laughed loudly:
Gu Heyan stared at him closely.
Mu Zhiming: "... This is the first time."
Gu Heyan silently retracted his gaze.
Mu Zhiming said, "Young people have strict family habits, and it is expressly stipulated that you can't enter or leave the Fengyue Field. After I left the office, there were laws in the court, and officials above the third rank were not allowed to act like prostitutes, so I really came here for the first time."
Pei Hantang praised: "Mr. Mu behaves like a gentleman."
Mu Zhiming smiled and saluted: "Master Pei is wrong."
Gu Heyan: "Let's investigate the case."
Although the four of them knew that they should come to Kangpingfang, but there are so many scenes here, it is really a headache where to start.
After much deliberation, I could only choose the stupidest way. I went to the prostitute one by one and asked if there were any girls missing recently, or if there were any girls who were good at zither or pipa among the girls who had not returned to the workshop for three days.
Even after asking five questions, there was no clue. Fortunately, the prostitute was very cooperative, and before spending too much time, Pei Hantang flashed the badge of Jingzhao Mansion, and immediately nodded and shouted to the adults, and then answered any questions.
The sixth place is a seven-storey Liudan Fei Pavilion facing the Bihu Lake. The heavy eaves are like bird wings, and the red silk is fragrant. The four people just arrived at the door, and they feel that this place is different from other places. At the door of other Fengyuechang, there are beautiful girls to greet guests, but here is quiet in front of the door, showing a bit of elegance.
"This place is quite famous in the capital." Pei Hantang looked up and sighed softly, "I heard that the girl inside is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is as beautiful as a fairy. It is a favorite place for many dignitaries, princes and nobles."
Wen Heyin asked, "Have you been here?"
Pei Hantang smiled and said, "I look like someone who has been here before?"
Wen Heyin nodded: "Like."
Pei Hantang said helplessly: "...Little thing, you seem to have misunderstood me."
The four of them walked into the attic, only to feel that the warm fragrance was bursting, the music was pleasant to the ear, and there were lifelike paintings of beauties hanging on the vermillion wall, which made people flutter as if they were in a fairyland.
A graceful girl came to greet him, and Pei Hantang took out his pocket card: "Pei Hantang, the young Yin of Jingzhao House, come here to investigate the case, no need to say anything, please come out and speak."
"Ah." The girl was startled and at a loss for what to do. It took a long time before she stammered, "A few, a few adults wait a moment, sit down, sit down and wait..."
After the girl finished speaking, she trotted away, and after a while, a sassy girl in purple clothes and red hair came to the steward. She invited the four to the Kunlun Snow Jade Carved Concubine Drunken Screen on the first floor and sat down, and then ordered someone to bring tea and fruit plate. .
Bored while waiting, Pei Hantang looked around and looked at the Qionglin Yushu in the pavilion, only to feel that it was gorgeous and dazzling. Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on one place, as if he saw something novel, and he stared at it for a long time in disbelief.
Then Pei Hantang leaned over to Gu Heyan and said to him in a low voice, "Yuyi, look at the third beauty painting hanging on the wall on your left."
Gu Heyan turned his head to look at the painting, and heard Pei Hantang ask him, "Does it look like it?"
"What?" Gu Heyan was puzzled. "Look carefully." Pei Hantang said, "Don't those eyebrows and eyes look alike? I look at them in five points."
Gu Heyan was at a loss: "Who is it like?"
Mu Zhiming suddenly said, "Me."
Pei Hantang was startled and looked up to see Mu Zhiming looking at them and laughing. He had already noticed their whispering. Pei Hantang clenched his fists embarrassedly: "Don't blame Mr. Mu, I have no intention of comparing this Fengyuechang thing with adults."
"No, Master Pei is just telling the truth." Mu Zhiming didn't care. "What does it compare to, doesn't it look like it?" Wen Heyin also turned her head to look, and when she saw it, she exclaimed in surprise, "Master, the girl in the painting looks just like you, shouldn't it be? Which girl in the attic?"
Mu Zhiming smiled generously and said, "I'm also very curious, why don't I seek someone out and ask, how?"
Wen Heyin: "Okay, okay."
It happened that a girl in Tsing Yi passed by, and Mu Zhiming asked about the person on the painting.
The girl said: "Ah, that oiran who used to be in our pavilion. Half a year ago, a prince and noble fell in love with her and redeemed her for her. Since then, she has lived in the palace and has never been seen again."
