Chapter 1 White Lady!(1/2)
The wind is weak, the rain is shining, and the waves are sparkling.
Taking advantage of the sight of the second-floor tavern, Chen Mu saw a red cage hanging from the brothel opposite the Huailan River.
It is as beautiful as blood, and the spring scenery is beautiful.
After a month, this brothel called [Ju Chunyuan] was open again.
It seemed that the murder had never happened.
Many charming women in half-clothed clothes stood in the corridor to greet guests, either implicitly or unrestrainedly teasing the male creatures of the past.
This adds a bit of restless desire to this drizzling day.
But what's strange is that few people dare to approach them.
Even the peddlers and pawns who passed by deliberately avoided their distance when passing by, with a little bit of fear in their eyes.
It seemed as if they were all afraid of something.
"For a few dollars, I really don't even want my life."
Looking at the beautiful women, Chen Mu gently shook the wine in his hand, a hint of cold mockery appeared on the corner of his lips, but his eyes were full of worry.
A month ago, someone died in Ju Chunyuan.
Twelve brothel women died mysteriously overnight.
There is also a newly promoted courtesan, who is beautiful and talented, and especially plays a good flute.
Later, the government issued a notice that it was a death from accidental poisoning.
It is said that I accidentally ate poisonous mushrooms.
As the captain of Qingyu County, Chen Mu still can't understand why the county magistrate issued such a ridiculous closing notice.
It's obviously an insult to other people's IQ.
As expected, the notice caused heated discussion among the people as soon as it was issued, and they were dissatisfied with such a hasty and absurd conclusion.
But due to the authority of the county government, no one dares to openly question it.
I thought the matter would gradually subside, but a few days later, another alternative rumor appeared in the market.
It is said that this case was caused by monsters!
Because someone accidentally saw a huge white snake that day, appearing on the banks of the Huailan River.
But this person is addicted to drinking and crazy, and has little credibility, so the people only think that he is talking nonsense.
Chen Mu went to ask specifically.
But the other party was really confused. After asking for a long time, he had no gains, so he had to give up.
After such a tragedy, everyone thought Ju Chunlou was about to be finished.
I never thought that it would be reopened in just one month. I have to say that the boss behind this scene is so fat, including those women who are in vain.
Of course, they are also for survival.
Once you sign the contract for sale, you can’t help yourself. Even if you are afraid, you have to obediently follow the boss’s instructions.
"Teacher..."
Just when he was in a daze, a young man in a yamen runner's uniform walked up the stairs, his clothes soaked in the rain.
He picked up the dry rag on the next table and wiped it a few times, and sat in front of Chen Mu.
"How about it."
Chen Mu poured a bowl of sake and pushed it over to warm up his body.
The young man is named Zhang Awei, and he is his subordinate.
The appearance is ordinary.
Zhang Awei drank it all in one mouthful, smashed his lips and said, "The west of Liuchun Lane, east of the river, Qin Academy... I have carefully inspected it all the way. Everything is normal. These girls can be safe and stable."
At the end of the day, the young constable did not hide the sarcasm of complaints and ridicule in his words.
Chen Mu understood his resentment.
It was originally a day off, and the family arranged a blind date.
As a result, because Ju Chunlou was about to reopen, the county magistrate was afraid of some chaos and ordered them to come and patrol.
Anyone who puts this will complain.
"Or why you go back first, just watch here, brothers and I."
Chen Mu's tone was gentle.
"No." Zhang Awei waved his hand quickly and said with a wry smile, "I am in a bad mood recently, so I don't want to get into trouble at this time."
The most beloved concubine is pregnant with someone else's child, it would be strange if she is in a good mood.
Chen Mu added drinks and asked casually: "By the way, where is the girl who arranged for you to date on a blind date from? How do you look?"
In the Great Yan Dynasty, there was a certain degree of freedom in discussing marriage between men and women.
Especially for the lower-class civilians, if they have a good impression of each other, they can get married, and few parents forcefully intervene.
Compared to the ancient times in Chen Mu's memory, it is undoubtedly much more open.
Of course, this kind of situation that allows men and women to have free love may also exist in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties advocated in some short videos.
But most of them may be in love in the pot.
Surrounded by star anise cinnamon leaves.
"It seems to be from Maling. As for how it looks, I haven't seen you yet."
Zhang Awei blinked, "Teacher, I don't care so much about appearance, as long as I have half of my sister-in-law."
"Boy, are you thinking about your sister-in-law?"
Chen Mu kicked.
Because I am familiar with each other on weekdays, I don’t have much concern when talking to my boss in front of me. Zhang Awei laughed and said, “Where is it? Only the fairy-level figure like my sister-in-law is worthy of you.”
Although it was a joke, the words still showed a lot of envy.
Half a year ago, Chen Mu, who was still a little constable, welcomed the most dreamy happy event in his life, alarming neighbors and villagers.
A beautiful lady named Bai found him with a wedding book.
This woman's name is Bai Xianyu.
No one knows who made the marriage letter and what its specific origins are.
But three days later, the young lady of the Bai family, carrying a box of gold, silver and jewelry, officially got married with Chen Mu, who was "clean and clean", which made others envious.
What makes people most jealous is that due to various accidents in the Bai family, only Bai Xianyu and her personal maid are left.
Therefore, Chen Mu is not as low as other son-in-law.
Nothing exists, such as bringing foot wash to your wife, being slapped by your mother-in-law, being ridiculed and ridiculed by your relatives.
The gentle and virtuous beautiful lady was futile and she also got a fortune.
Do you think this will not make people jealous?
But what is quite interesting is that a small episode happened on the night of the wedding, which made everyone chat and talk for a long time after the meal.
It is also a stain that Chen Mu cannot erase in his life.
That night, Chen Mu, who was the groom, was drunk and fell into the pit when he went to the cottage.
When people caught up, they couldn't breathe!
All the guests present were frightened by this sudden change and thought that the news would turn into a frivolous matter.
There are also many jealous people who secretly enjoy themselves.
Fortunately, God pleaded with his life, and Chen Mu, who originally thought he was dead, miraculously resurrected, but his head seemed a little abnormal.
He was yelling strange words such as "fake" and "time travel".
For a time, people even guessed whether it was a dirty thing or not. Or they were too excited and happy, and they were crazy about gaining and losing.
Fortunately, a few days later, Chen Mu returned to normal.
This somewhat disappointed those who were waiting to watch the show.
In addition, Chen Mu later solved several small cases and made contributions, and was appreciated by the county magistrate and promoted to the captain, which was very glorious.
People say that the White Snake has a prosperous husband.
I became even more jealous of Chen Mu.
"Oh, you envy my wife, who warms the fragrant quilt every night, but I envy you for being free and comfortable, hiding in the corners and practicing the unicorn arms..."
Chen Mu looked sad.
This deliberately pretended to behave made Zhang Awei urge to hit someone.
