Chapter 123 Chapter 45: Killing Scholar

Chu Qiao strolled around the street twice, and took the money purse of a greasy-haired and pink-faced son. She was wearing Zhuge Yue's clothes, and was blown by the night wind, looking like a Taoist robe.Leaning against a big tree, she opened the purse and saw that the heavy silver was shining brightly, the girl's eyes lit up, and she whistled happily.Then he walked briskly up the street and turned into a tailor's shop. After a while, a young and handsome son came out of the shop, his eyes were like autumn water and cold stars, his lips were red like cardamom, holding an arty folding fan in his hand, he was dressed in the style of a child of an aristocratic family.

As Li Ce said, the current Tang capital is in turmoil, the central army was evacuated in an instant, and many aristocratic families were uprooted and driven out of the capital.And there are not a few people who arrested Chu Qiao. Except for Li Ce, all forces are secretly looking for this woman who is extremely important to Yan Bei, Da Xia, and Prince Bian Tang. Therefore, everywhere All the inns and restaurants in the city have become places of investigation, and there are many spies. Chu Qiao weighed it, and finally decided that instead of staying in a hotel, it is better to hide in a brothel gambling house. Although there are many people here, it is the best place to hide. A woman who is wanted by the powerful forces will hide in the casino boldly.

It was already very late at this time, and several main streets such as Zhongyang Avenue were silent, but Yanhua Street was full of excitement and joy. On top of that, the brothel girls in fancy dresses smiled coquettishly and coquettishly, the powdery smell on the handkerchiefs was enough to make people suffocate, and there were a lot of wandering warblers on the road from time to time who came forward to solicit customers and move their feet. "Is this little gentleman alone? Why don't you come in and sit down?" The arm was grabbed by someone, Chu Qiao stopped, but suddenly felt cold.This woman should not be young anymore, at least thirty-five years old, the smell of cheap powder on her face is pungent, almost shedding powder flakes as she walks, a scarlet dress is also cheap, her breasts have begun Drooping, the exposed half of her breasts showed a dismal off-white color, and one could tell what her profession was just by looking at her.A pair of eyes showed a shrewdness that had been battle-hardened, as if seeing Chu Qiao young, with her tender hands on Chu Qiao's shoulders, her face was very close, and she said with a smile, "Do you want someone to accompany you?"

Chu Qiao was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect Bian Tang to be so open-minded, you must know that in Daxia, it is not allowed to openly solicit customers on the street.Even though there are brothels in Daxia, most of them are punished by officials, and ordinary people can't get in at all. Although she was surprised, Chu Qiao concealed it very well.After all, she is a senior commander of the Military Intelligence Department in the 21st century. She hasn't seen any scenes before, so she smiled with a seasoned smile and said, "Sister, what's your price?" The prostitute was taken aback, seeing that although Chu Qiao was young and her voice was a little tender, she behaved very old-fashioned, and she didn't dare to ask for a price, so she said with a smile: "Take a trip to the five small plants in the lake, two coins and silver per time, and see the little ones." Mr. Xiang is so attractive, Bao Ye will take advantage of you, five qian silver."

Ten tiny silver plants are one qian, ten qian silver are one stalk, and ten silver stalks are one gold stalk. When Chu Qiao and Liang Shaoqing were bought as slaves, the price was only a few gold stalks. Not expensive. Chu Qiao smiled slightly, stretched out her finger and shook it. The prostitute thought she thought it was too expensive, so she hurriedly said: "That one penny, one time, two nights, young man, you can see that you come here often, you know the price, it can't be cheaper." Chu Qiao shook her head and said, "It's not that it's too expensive, it's that I'm not suitable for you, how about this, you introduce me to a quiet and good place, and I'll give you a golden plant, how about it?"

The prostitute was overjoyed when she heard that, for a golden plant, she might not be able to make it back in half a year, so she hurriedly led the way happily. Chu Qiao originally planned to go to the casino, but the place was crowded with people and the environment was chaotic, making it inconvenient to rest.She knew that such a prostitute would definitely know some famous brothels, and sometimes the customers she intercepted were not satisfied with her, so she would introduce them to brothels she was familiar with, which could be regarded as earning some agency fees.In this way, it saved her a lot of trouble.

Following behind the prostitute, Chu Qiao quickly came to the door of a brothel. This brothel had a big facade and looked a bit stylish, but the location was a bit off, not as lively as the previous ones. A man who was in charge ran out in a few steps, nodded and bowed politely to Chu Qiao, and the young master called out sweetly.Turning around, she changed her expression towards the prostitute. Even though they had intentionally lowered their voices, Chu Qiao could still hear them very clearly. "Recently, Mr. Zhuang sent a message. Strangers can't pick it up. Don't you know? The higher ups seem to be looking for someone."

Sure enough, money can make ghosts turn the millstone. I only heard the prostitute say: "I'm not a stranger, but a regular customer of mine." The man obviously didn't believe it: "With you, he will do it too? You can almost be his mother!" "Get out! Doesn't he think that the old lady's charm is still there? This guest is very generous. You don't want me to introduce it to others!" "Okay, you brought them here, but if something happens, I can find you." "You can rest assured!" Chu Qiao's face remained unchanged, and this Master Zhuang didn't know who he was, he must be either an official, or a local power bribed by some party.Sure enough, there were a few tall and thick middle-aged men at the door, their eyes were like knives shooting at the passers-by around them, they glanced at Chu Qiao, but they didn't pay much attention.Instead, he pays great attention to the women passing by, especially those women dressed as single wandering warblers.

It really is pervasive! Chu Qiao sneered. "Young Master, it's done. I'll take care of everything. The higher-ups are arresting people recently. It is said that someone has committed a crime. All inns and brothels do not allow strangers from outside to stay overnight. I have put in a lot of effort." Seeing the woman's exaggerated and flattering smile, Chu Qiao understood, took out a gold plant, put it in her hand, and said with a smile, "Thank you, it's yours." The prostitute immediately went away with a thousand thanks, and the man with the appearance of a turtle nodded and bowed and leaned forward, seemingly casually said: "Young Master is very generous, I don't know where he is from?"

Chu Qiao deliberately said with a mysterious and solemn expression: "What I tell you, you can't tell others." The tortoise was taken aback for a moment, then stopped immediately, and heard Chu Qiao say: "I am from the palace, and I came here to choose a woman for my master." The tortoise was shocked when he heard this, and looked Chu Qiao up and down, only to see that she was young, generous, and extremely handsome, but she was faintly feminine.It suddenly dawned on me: "Could it be that you are the wife of the prince's palace..." "Hush!" Chu Qiao said quickly: "You must not say anything, or you will be in great trouble."

Mr. Gui nodded quickly after hearing this, and said overjoyedly: "I usually heard that His Royal Highness often visits Yuhualou and other red aunts in several big brothels. I didn't expect that we also have such good fortune here." Chu Qiao shook her head and sighed, "I'm tired of hanging out in those places all the time. It was Mr. Sun who introduced me, saying that your place is good." "Master Sun?" The tortoise was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Sun Di, Sun Shangshu! Yes, yes, he is a frequent visitor on this street, but we are blind, and we never knew that Master Sun also visited us." "Hehe, after all, the imperial court does not allow officials to prostitute, and they come quietly. Who can make a big splash, so you have to be careful when you speak." The man nodded quickly: "Don't worry, I promise that everything will be leak-proof for you." Chu Qiao took out two gold plants and threw them generously: "Your reward!" The man immediately continued with a thousand thanks, secretly thinking that the ones coming out of this palace are different. This brothel is called Piaoxiang Pavilion, and the decoration is elegant. The man led her to a small clean room, and then ran out in a hurry.Most of the night, the brothel arranged for four or five young and beautiful prostitutes to come to see the guests, because they thought Chu Qiao was a eunuch, so most of the women who came were neatly dressed, and they were nothing more than playing chess and playing the piano, Chu Qiao was bored Sit there and doze off.When the boss saw her, he immediately withdrew her staff and arranged for Chu Qiao to rest, saying that she would continue picking tomorrow. Chu Qiao was lying on the bed, and only now dared to breathe a sigh of relief, Zhuge Yue was not exaggerating at all, the situation was more serious than what he said. Since she knew that Yan Xun had entered the city disguised as Liu Xi, she could find Yan Xun's whereabouts as long as she inquired about Liu Xi's whereabouts.Liu Xi is from a rich family of Xianyang, it is impossible to enter the city but there is no news, so let's rest for one night today, and it will not be too late to inquire tomorrow. Chu Qiao woke up early in the morning, and the whole brothel was still quiet. These prostitutes have the habit of getting up late, and it is indeed too early. As soon as Chu Qiao went out, she met the tortoise justice waiting at the door, Chu Qiao smiled and said, "Go out for a walk, come back at night." The turtle man said understandingly: "Yes, it's hard to come out, it's time to take a good look around, do you want me to find someone to accompany you?" Chu Qiao shook her head and said, "No need, I know this place well." Immediately, he left the Piaoxiang Pavilion under the watchful eyes of Mr. Gui. When he went out, the two big men were still standing at the door, and when they saw her coming out, they looked over with fierce eyes.Chu Qiao looked at them provocatively, and snorted coldly with disdain. Seeing this man's arrogant demeanor, the two didn't dare to interrogate him for a while. Chu Qiao came out from the Piaoxiang Pavilion and walked on the street swaggeringly all the way. The portrait technique of this era is really bad.Chu Qiao had seen those so-called wanted documents back then when she was in Daxia. She followed a group of people in the crowd and looked at them for a long time, but she still felt that the paintings on them really did not look like herself.Now that she is dressed in men's clothing and just walking around the streets like this, she doesn't believe that anyone can recognize her. Or find a place to eat first, and then ask slowly. Just as she was thinking, there was a sudden commotion at one end of the long street. Chu Qiao stopped to look, and saw a person running in front of her, but seven or eight people were chasing after her. dash. When Chu Qiao saw it, her head went black, and when she wanted to turn around, it was too late, and the man who was being chased took a sharp look at her, and then shouted loudly in a desperate voice Said: "Little Qiao! Little Qiao! Help me!" Chu Qiao looked around quickly with her eyes, and saw that after the sound, more than a dozen people with different expressions looked over, their eyes were sharp, and they were not like ordinary passers-by. "Little Joe! I'm here, help me!" Liang Shaoqing rushed over with disheveled hair and a tattered school bag on his back, as if seeing his mother's child, he grinned almost to his ears. A group of people rushed forward with a whoosh, Liang Shaoqing grabbed Chu Qiao's arm, laughed and said, "Little Qiao, I've been looking for you everywhere. Where have you been these days? You seem to have lost weight, have you been bullied outside, huh? Why is your expression so strange?" Chu Qiao was about to cry when she saw a group of big men chasing Liang Shaoqing staring at the side, and what was even more terrible was that the voice of "Little Qiao" attracted countless strange looks. At this moment, she could almost feel I can't wait to see those densely approaching footsteps. "These, who are these people?" Chu Qiao had no choice but to interrupt Liang Shaoqing who was nagging and wishing to report the date of birth. The man who was chased before like a lost dog suddenly gained confidence at this moment. He pointed at those people angrily and said angrily: "That's right. They, they bullied me!" "Stinky boy! Let's see where you are going!" A group of sturdy big men shouted angrily. Liang Shaoqing visibly trembled, but thinking that Chu Qiao was by her side, she regained her confidence and shouted loudly, "Xiao Qiao, help me teach them a lesson!" His arrogant attitude obviously angered the group of people, and he rushed forward after hearing the men roar. In an instant, Chu Qiao seemed to have experienced the biggest decision in her life! To beat others, or to be beaten?This is really a problem. Should it continue to be hidden, or fully exposed?If you hide, you will be beaten, but if you expose, you may die. Hey, she sighed silently in her heart, and at the last moment, Liang Shaoqing first squatted down and hugged her head. Liang Shaoqing quickly reacted and squatted down, raining fists fell on his head immediately, and the bookworm shouted in puzzlement: "Xiao Qiao, fix them!" Passers-by sighed helplessly. A down-and-out scholar and a pink young man kept saying that he wanted to fix others, which was really speechless. I don't know how long it took, but when the group of people finally left cursing, Liang Shaoqing was already half-breathed, and even the people who watched the fun went to do what they were supposed to do.Fortunately, those people had clear grievances and grievances, and Chi Yu was not harmed.Chu Qiao ran to him intact and asked, "Are you okay?" Liang Shaoqing burst into tears, and said aggrievedly, "Little Qiao, why didn't you beat them up?" Chu Qiao was about to speak, when suddenly there was a loud shout, several officials from Bian Tang stood beside them, one of them pointed at Liang Shaoqing and said angrily: "It's him, this kid, who won't change after repeated admonitions, and posts everywhere. Grab it!" "Ah!" Liang Shaoqing was shocked, half of the injuries on her body healed immediately, she jumped up quickly and wanted to run, but was grabbed by someone. "Little Joe! Help me!" The officer was furious: "Okay! There are accomplices! Let's arrest them together!" Instead of dying in silence, she would pervert in silence. Chu Qiao's eyes had no flames, and all she sprayed was high-purity strong sulfuric acid. She looked at Liang Shaoqing fiercely, but couldn't say a word. With their hands tied behind their backs, the two were escorted away by officials under the watchful eyes of a group of passers-by. The bounty catchers took out the portraits in their waists and looked at them. They looked a bit like them, but didn't they mean that they were alone and had outstanding martial arts skills? It's not like it's not like, everyone shook their heads, and they left in a tacit understanding, running with all their strength for this once-in-a-century plan to make a fortune.
