I hurriedly climbed up to say that I have a guest at home today, and there are too many things to do. I can’t update until I have completed 2,000 words. Sorry~~~~~Running down~~~

——————————————————————————————This is the dividing line between the old and the new—————————————— ———————

The three major brothels standing on Luoshi Street are Miaoyinfang, Yangliuxin and Hongxiuzhao. Compared with the first two, Hongxiuzhao has a long-standing reputation. Hongxiuzhao, which was newly established only a few years ago, is a latecomer. However, judging from recent trends, Hongxiuzhao The limelight seems to be getting stronger and stronger, and the waves from behind in the Yangtze River are gradually pushing the waves ahead.

That's because the music of Miaoyinfang and the dance of Willow Heart still require visitors to have a little bit of acceptable taste, and the secret weapon of Hongxiu Zhao - beauty, is to attack from all directions.

There may be men in this world who don't like music and dancing, but there are absolutely no men who don't like beautiful women.

Girls with red sleeves are always known for their beauty. If you just walk in and grab one, even if she doesn’t know how to sing, dance, recite poems, paint, talk cleverly, or laugh smartly, at the very least, She must be very beautiful.

Beautiful, gentle, and not putting on airs, these are the characteristics of the girls in Hongxiu. If you are rejected by Miss Gong Yu in Miaoyinfang, or if you can't get in line at Yangliuxin, you will be one of the lucky ones where Miss Yangxinliu only accepts one person a day. , you can go to Hongxiu Zhao to seek comfort.

The girls here don't have weird and aloof tempers, and they will never push customers out of the door, provided that you can afford to pay.

Of course, beautiful girls are expensive, and the prettier the girl is, the more expensive she is. But in this city of Jinling, the most indispensable thing is those who take advantage of them and take a lot of money without taking anything seriously.

The mysterious, beautiful and highly trusted Qin Banruo in Prince Yu's palace is the boss of this red-sleeved trick. However, she is neither a singing prostitute nor a member of the music family, so she is really just the boss.

Although she also has a beauty that can stun all living beings, Qin Banruo has never publicly appeared in the Red Sleeve Moves. There are no more than three people in the capital who know that she is the true owner of this brothel.

In addition to the huge financial resources, another huge income brought by Red Sleeve Zhao to Qin Banruo is intelligence.

When people spend money to buy smiles, they are usually when their nerves are at their most relaxed and their mouths are at their most relaxed. With a little bit of skill, you can learn a lot of useful things.

The girls in Hongxiu Zhao have received special training, teaching them how to coax their patrons to talk more and talk about various things, and then write down the general content of what they heard from memory and report it once a day.

Qin Banruo spent a lot of time on this pile of unfiltered reports, reading hundreds of them every day, and then filtering out useful information, and then conducting targeted follow-up and understanding.

But this is not Qin Banruo's only way to obtain information. In addition to those who are still in the dust field, Qin Banruo will also specially cultivate some smart girls and find ways to marry them into courtiers' mansions as concubines, in order to obtain more Little known information.

For King Yu, this delicate, beautiful and intelligent woman is as important as any counselor in his palace. Of course, he also hopes that in the near future, this beautiful girl will be more than just his counselor. .

This time Qin Banruo discovered that something was wrong, and he found out from a routine report.

While joking with the girl, a customer said casually: "You just want to have fun when you come out. This girl will find the next girl when she has no time. There is no need to hang herself from a tree. Look at He Wenxin, he is jealous in the brothel, and he gets his way."

How majestic is he? No matter how good Miss Xinliu is, it can't compare to his own life. He thought he could escape by relying on me. Really..."

Alerted by these words, Qin Banruo immediately sent someone to investigate the guest and found that he was a long-time official in the palace of the emperor's uncle Prince Ji. He was always the most lecherous. On the day of the incident, he also bought sex at Willow Heart, but

, but not at the scene.

Qin Banruo was still suspicious, so he sent someone to trick him, but he found out something shocking.

Combining some of the known information at hand, Qin Banruo realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately went to see King Yu.

"You said that Uncle Wen Yuan already had important witnesses in his hands, but he was just waiting to see the attitude of the Ministry of Punishment before he said anything?" After only hearing a few words, King Yu frowned, "How can he be so calm?

?”

"Because Uncle Wen Yuan has lost his trust in the Ministry of Punishment." Qin Banruo said very firmly, "According to the current case, there is no shortage of witnesses. As long as the Ministry of Punishment has half the intention to deal with it fairly, there is no need to add this witness.

The case has been finalized, but if the Ministry of Punishment wants He Wenxin to be exonerated, it will be useless even if he introduces more witnesses. Instead, the preparations made by the Ministry of Punishment will be in vain."

Prince Yu nodded slowly, "I understand. What you mean is that Uncle Wen Yuan is waiting for the Ministry of Punishment to conclude the case. If the result of the judgment dissatisfies him, he will directly bring this witness to the emperor to complain.

?”

"yes."

"Will the Emperor believe it?" King Yu sneered, "Uncle Wen Yuan is so hot-headed that he thinks things too simply, so why are you so nervous? The Ministry of Punishment will definitely handle all the details when the case is concluded. Just rely on Uncle Wen Yuan to bring someone there."

In front of the emperor, he said with red lips and white teeth, "What's the use of it?"

Qin Banruo's autumn-like eyes flickered: "Others can't, but this witness can."

King Yu couldn't help but be startled when he saw her speaking solemnly.

"I beg your pardon for Prajna's dereliction of duty. The scene was chaotic that day and there were many witnesses. I was negligent when I was ordered to investigate the case. I didn't notice that among all the eyewitnesses summoned by Jing Zhaoyin, one person was missing..." Qin Banruo took a sip.

A slight dimple appeared at the corner of her mouth and cheek, which made her look charming in a serious expression. "Later, a famous official in Prince Ji's palace said something in Hongxiuzhao that made me suspicious, so I started again.

After checking it again, I found out that it was not Jingzhao Yin Gaosheng who missed the pass, but that he could not pass the pass at all..."

"Tell me, who is this witness?"

"Prince Ji."

King Yu couldn't help being surprised: "Uncle King Ji?"

"Yes, there were two guests in the small building where the crime occurred that day, and one of them was Prince Ji. He should have... witnessed the entire incident with his own eyes..."

"Oh, this is difficult to handle!" King Yu's forehead was filled with clouds. "Although Uncle Ji ignored the affairs of the court and only loved romance, flowers, snow and moonlight, leaning against red flowers and greenery, his temperament was extremely upright. As long as Uncle Wen Yuan begged him,

, he will definitely be willing to tell the truth in front of the emperor..."

"That's right. Perhaps because he felt that there was no need to come forward with so many witnesses, Prince Ji took his wives and concubines to the hot spring villa to stay for a while on the second day after the incident, so he did not know how to deal with the case later.

Knowing that, there was no movement, which is why we have never discovered that he was also one of the witnesses."

"Alas..." Prince Yu fell on the chair, twirling the bridge of his nose between his eyes with his fingers, looking very embarrassed, "Uncle Prince Ji is difficult to deal with, and I cannot let him go for the sake of a vassal's son.

Cruel words. If Uncle Wen Yuan really asked Uncle Ji Wang to plead grievances on his behalf, the Ministry of Punishment would definitely not be able to avenge him. It seems... He Wenxin cannot be saved..."

"I also have the same view. If you do something or don't do something, you can't lose the big for the small." Because he didn't like the dandy like He Wenxin, Qin Banruo didn't think this was a painful resignation.

"Even if Mr. He needs to use it again, it is his own son's fault. You can't let His Highness wipe it out for him at any cost, right? If he collapses because of the death of a son, he is not worthy of His Highness's respect for him.

"

Prince Yu glanced at her, sighed and said: "I understand what you mean, but He Jingzhong is still useful. This son seems to be his lifeline. He is an only son. Whose family is not like this? Of course.

What you said is right. If you can't protect yourself anymore, you can't do it forcefully. I will tell Qi Min to let him touch Prince Ji from the side first. If Uncle Wang's attitude is tougher, there is no need to force it. It's really not possible.

The only way to survive is to pay life for life."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Qin Banruo smiled with his eyebrows as bright as the spring breeze.

King Yu stretched out his hand to support the beautiful woman's arm and said softly: "I am lucky to have you. I rely on your wisdom to detect many things. I discovered Xie Yu's true face a while ago, and today I stopped the punishment department from making mistakes in time. Such a great achievement

, how can this king reward you?"

Qin Banruo lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head. He took a step back gently and easily freed his jade arm from King Yu's hand. However, he let his soft fingertips trace across his palm intentionally or unintentionally. He smiled sweetly and said: "Although Prajna is

I am a female, but I have always longed for the legend of the emperor and his ministers. Unfortunately, I was born as a daughter, with limited talents and knowledge, so I cannot leave the palace and become a prime minister in this life. Now, I have received the favor of His Highness and have the opportunity to serve the future Holy Lord. I wish it was enough, but I dare not expect a reward.

."

"If you can ascend the throne in the future, you will be my female prime minister. I can give you half of the dragon bed, but why are you reluctant to part with it?" King Yu said, with a hint of ridicule in his tone, "I'm afraid you can't see it in your eyes.

It’s still unknown.”

Qin Banruo smiled faintly, neither annoyed nor intending to reply. Instead, he bowed his hands and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please tell Minister Qi as soon as possible about Prince Ji's matters. Are there still some matters piled up in Prajna Tower?"

I'll take my leave now."

Her aloof attitude actually made Prince Yu feel itchy in his heart. He wanted to be more gentle, but he really cherished this woman. He couldn't bring himself to upset Meng Lang, so he had to cough, force himself to suppress his thoughts, and watch helplessly.

She went.

Soon, Qi Min, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, received the news delivered by the envoy from Prince Yu's Mansion. Originally, he and the capable magistrate had already discussed how to bribe witnesses, how to retake the confession, how to change the corpse... In short, all the steps had been taken.

After nine stops, I was poured cold water on my head.

As soon as he heard that there was another eyewitness who was Prince Ji, Qi Min's head suddenly turned into two big heads. Although Prince Yu meant to probe Prince Ji's story first, Qi Min knew that it was not possible to probe into his voice.

That's it. It is well known that King Ji has a straightforward temperament. Besides, even if he is not straightforward, he does not have to commit perjury for a playboy who beats people to death. Even if Wen Yuanbo has not made any request to him, once the emperor

Ask him and he will definitely tell the truth.

However, since Prince Yu had given instructions to explore, it would not be good to not explore, so Qi Min took two days off and planned to go to Prince Ji's hot spring resort in person.

Although before setting off, Qi Min was prepared to come here in vain. But what he never expected was that the result would come so early and so quickly.

The reason why the Minister of Punishment returned without success was not because of how harsh King Ji's tone was. To be honest, when Qi Min knew that his trip was in vain, he had not met King Ji at all.

It's not really complicated, it's just a bit of a coincidence.

Huqiu is a holy hot spring place with numerous villas. Among them, Prince Ji's villa is the largest and most comfortable one. Anyone who has friendship with Prince Ji will choose to stay in this villa when they come to Huqiu.

For example, Yan Yujin had a long-lasting friendship with King Ji because of his free and easy manner.

The three young masters, the always happy eldest son of Guojiu Mansion, the somewhat melancholy eldest son of Ningguo Mansion, and the somewhat depressed second young master of Ningguo Mansion, as soon as the trio submitted a request for an audience outside the courtyard, Prince Ji immediately welcomed them out happily.

Although there is a big difference in generation and age, King Ji, who has only loved romance and romance in his life, still retains the dashing energy of his youth. He gets along very happily with these juniors, and there is no feeling of a gap between them.

Energetic guests came, and one of them was his favorite Xiao Yujin. King Ji was very happy. He entertained the guests with wine and had a great time. When everyone was in high spirits, they naturally chatted about everything.

Naturally, the topic of conversation at the beginning was about the beauty of the capital. When it came to commenting on the beauties in the capital, Prince Ji was no less impressed than the Master of Langya Pavilion. He became very happy as soon as he started talking about it. Yan Yujin was also a person who cared about beauty and cherished it.

The person he admired was Gong Yu from Miaoyinfang. As soon as the two started chatting, they immediately became inseparable. They talked about Yangliuxin from Miaoyinfang, and then they talked about the murder case in Yangliuxin.

King Ji then said with a loud tongue: "I have accumulated knowledge, and I thought... I was... right then..."

Yan Yujin's eyes widened: "You...you are there too? How...how did you beat him to death?"

Although King Ji's tongue was a little big, he was still very conscious. Not only was he sober, he was also very excited. When asked by Yan Yujin, he immediately explained the cause and effect clearly and vividly, as if telling a story.

The other two listeners were fine, but Yan Yujin was a well-connected person and liked to chat from door to door. The next day, when he went out to visit other noble houses in Huqiu, he casually mentioned this story that Prince Ji had witnessed.

The murder was used as a talking point and spread everywhere.

So when Qi Min arrived at Huqiu, almost all the dignitaries who came here for leisure already knew that He Wenxin had indeed killed someone with his own hands, and it was Prince Ji who saw it with his own eyes...

Under this situation, it was meaningless to investigate Wang Jiufeng. The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment could only sigh in his heart: "Master He, Master He, it's not that I don't try my best to help you, but your son... is too unlucky.
