The courtyard of the post house is not very soundproof, and the person who said it seems to be afraid that others will not hear it and it will be noisy.

Taoyu's voice stopped suddenly.

Because she just happened to talk about Miss Cao making a scene in Fanlou, scolding Mr. Cai Xiaohou's little childhood sweetheart, and even splashing feces all over her body.

This unexpected coincidence made Taoyu's face turn white instantly, her body became stiff, and goosebumps appeared on her skin.

"Girl, this, isn't this Miss Cao killing someone in anger?"

Xin Yi shook his head in amusement and said softly:

"No matter how powerful Ms. Cao is, she is still a girl. Didn't you hear what they said, who is dead and there are countless corpses?"

"Uh, yes, it scared me to death."

People in the yard were still talking loudly.

But after several people discussed it, they couldn't come up with any more clues. They just added fuel to the fire, or made some speculations related to ghosts...

"Girl." Taoyu glanced at Xinyi and wished she could cover her ears. "I'll close the window, it's so scary."

Xin Yi pursed her lips tightly, as if she was also frightened.

In my mind, I kept searching for——Fan Lou.

This name is very familiar.

What are the clues related to Fan Lou?

Song Huizong dug a tunnel in Fanlou to have a secret meeting with the famous prostitute Li Shishi? No, no, no, Song Huizong’s imperial grandfather Zhao Zongshi has not yet become emperor, so it is not her turn...

Today's Fanlou, in addition to being the number one restaurant in Tokyo during the Northern Song Dynasty, Yuzhao's brewing workshop, and the largest liquor wholesaler in Tokyo - its top brand is not Li Shishi, but Cai Xiaohouye's Xiaoqingmei.

Based on intuition, Xin Yi felt that another change had occurred.

She couldn't sit still.

"Xingyuan, I'm a little sleepy, please step back."

I didn't get up until midnight, and I was sleepy again before lunch time.

Although Hongdou and Lvcai were a little confused, she was blind and had nothing to do. What other fun could she have besides sleeping in?

"yes."

When the others left, Xin Yi called Xing Yuan on the pretext of asking for water.

"Bring me the silver frost."

Xingyuan knew that she wanted to contact the county prince, so she didn't hesitate.

The strange corpses found in Fan Lou made this restaurant, which was already very famous, a hot topic among the people of Bianjing City.

The case of Fan Lou’s corpse dismemberment became the first shocking case since the era name was changed in April this year.

News of the case reached Zhao Zhen's desk before noon.

At the same time, the emperor's oral request to "find out the facts of the case to reassure the people" also arrived at Kaifeng Mansion as quickly as possible.

Today's Quan Zhi of Kaifeng Mansion is called Lu Gongbi. Lu Yijian's son and brother of Lu Gongchuo. In February this year, Quan Zhi Kaifeng was appointed as a direct scholar of Longtuge. It was also since the fourth year of Emperor You's reign that he was affected by the case of Pang Ji's dismissal of the prime minister. Lu Gongchuo asked him to be dismissed.

After the palace, another high-ranking member of the Lu family.

Master Lu received the official order and led his people straight to Fanlou.

The official blockade and heated discussions among the people made the whole Royal Street agitated.

Fu Jiuqu went to the Imperial City last night. When the carriage passed by the Imperial Street outside the Fan Tower, he saw Lu Gongbi parking his sedan chair at the door from a distance.

Master Lu took office less than four months before such a major case occurred. He must have been very anxious and had not yet stood firm on his feet, so he took his master and several officials and strode towards the Fan Tower.

"Duan Sui."

"My subordinate is here."

"What time is it?"

"It's almost late to go back to Master Jiu."

Fu Jiuqu hummed, "Slow down."

"yes."

The carriage slowed down and moved slowly.

Fu Jiuqu looked at the street through the gauze curtain, his eyes suddenly glaring.

His eyes were fixed on an oncoming carriage.

It was an ordinary carriage with green curtains, nothing out of the ordinary, but the tall horse was anything but ordinary.

Since the Later Jin Dynasty ceded the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun to the Khitan, good horses have become a rarity and were in short supply in the Song Dynasty.

In this dynasty, most dignitaries traveled in sedan chairs, while scholar-officials rode donkeys and mules. There were far more ox-carts and donkey-carts than horse-drawn carriages.

Therefore, those who can travel on horseback are mostly higher-ranking officials, which is a symbol of social status.

The curtain of the carriage was slightly opened.

The owner of the car seemed to be watching the excitement in Fanlou. Fu Jiuqu could see a man sitting inside, but due to the light, he couldn't see the man's face clearly.

The carriage moves very slowly.

Slowly approaching among the crowds on both sides, and then approaching...

Suddenly, a man and a horse rushed over from the crowd at extremely fast speeds, shouting "Make way, give way". In an instant, they rushed in front of Fu Jiuqu's carriage.

"Chonglou! Chonglou——"

The man shouted loudly, jumped off his horse, and knocked on the window to call for someone without anyone noticing.

Who is it if it’s not Cai Qi?

Fu Jiuqu frowned slightly and suddenly opened the curtains.

The carriage with green curtains has already gone away...

"What are you looking at?" Cai Qi followed his line of sight and looked back, "Chonglou, you came just in time. I have something I want to ask you for. Didn't something happen to Fan Lou? Shao Yue, she

Terrified..."

"roll!"

Fu Jiuqu lowered the curtain with force.

"Hello……"

The carriage sped up, leaving Cai Qi's shout behind.

Fu Jiuqu sat quietly through the gauze curtain, looking at the street, and then spoke for a moment.

"Cheng Cang."

"My subordinate is here."

"Check that carriage."

"Take orders."

"..."

These days, the inspectors of the Imperial City Department did not relax at all. Not only did they keep an eye on every move in the post house, Fu Jiuqu also arranged for many people to keep an eye on the whereabouts of Gaominglou.

However, the Gao Minglou that Xin Yi mentioned, who "goes out early and comes back late, appears and disappears", did not behave in any strange way. He was just a fishing fanatic who fished for morning fish and night fish all day long. Apart from fishing, he did almost everything else.

He has no other hobbies, so that those who follow him can be bored to sleep...

·

As the carriage drove into the eldest princess's mansion, Fu Jiuqu went first to pay his respects to his mother.

Zhao Yuqing ate two pieces of wisteria flower cakes sent by Fu Jiuqu in the name of Aima last night, and she felt very happy.

She had been waiting for more than twenty years to receive her daughter-in-law's filial piety. Even though it was only a few cakes, she was still in high spirits. She specially prepared a meal and left Fu Jiuqu to eat in Fu'an Courtyard. She also told him about Ayima.

, and the process of the wedding.

Fu Jiuqu: "There is no news from Dali yet, not even a word of birth, why should mother be so anxious?"

Zhao Yuqing was very dissatisfied with her son's neglect.

"Who said there is no one stroke in Chinese horoscopes? Isn't that what I'm doing right now?"

"..."

"It's been a long time since the princess's palace held a happy event. This time I'm going to make a grand arrangement... Ah Jiu, do you think we should urge your uncle and ask him to send two more marriage envoys to Dali to express our support?

We attach great importance to this matter, lest the Prime Minister of Dali refuse to marry his daughter..."

Fu Jiuqu couldn't laugh or cry.

According to the anxious mood of the princess, she is afraid that if she gets married today, she will have to have a grandchild tomorrow...
