The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 450

He Wenhan sent people to listen to the little monk's description, drew a portrait of the thief, and asked the little monks. At this moment, they were too scared to speak, and only nodded, "Reply to the lord, it is somewhat similar."

Only with this portrait was a wanted warrant issued, but it cannot be trusted at the moment.

In late summer and early autumn, the heat is still unbearable.

Jin Fuyun finally got free and got on the carriage with Pan Xi and two unfamiliar maids. Before they had gone far, they saw a notice hanging on the east wall of the market town, with black words in a red circle and a portrait.

He asked Panxi to get closer to get a better look, but was stopped by the servants.

"Don't worry, young lady. I'll go and take a look." He squeezed to the front of the crowd and saw everything. He heard the people around him talking about it. "Long'en Temple! It was the thieves who went to Long'en Temple to kill people. They also burned down Master Hong Zhao's study. I heard that there are precious scriptures hidden in it."

"Did anyone get hurt?"

Some people who were pretending to be serious shook their heads and said, "With such a scene, I heard that a few people were injured, but I don't know how many died. But think about it, this is the place where the Queen Mother worships Buddha. If something like this happened, how could the emperor not be angry? Tsk tsk, looking at the notice, I'm afraid they will be torn into pieces if they are caught..."

"Hun said that now the emperor has abolished the torture of quartering."

"In short, you can't escape death."

The servant heard everything and quickly ran to the carriage and told Jin Fuyun everything, "Miss, why don't we go back? This thief is still on the run with a weapon. I'm afraid he's going to do something vicious and target a wealthy family like ours—"

"Are you afraid?"

The young lady's face was not clearly visible behind the curtain, but the contempt in her words made the servant shudder, "I am worried about the young lady--"

"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

After hearing Jin Fuyun's scolding, the servant dared not say anything and just escorted the carriage to Mingxiang Tower. This was a fragrance pavilion that had only been opened in the capital last year and was loved by both men and women in the capital.

It is called the Incense Pavilion. In addition to various high-quality incenses, there are also precious teas. The three-story wooden building stands tall and is a leader in Xifang City.

This is the first time Jin Fuyun has set foot here.

The servants and guards wanted to follow them up, but Panxi and the maids stopped them, "Just watch downstairs, the young lady is on the second floor. If you have any instructions, I will come down to greet you."

The servant's name was Baocai. He had a sturdy build, was not very tall, and was very stocky.

Hearing Pan Xi's words of dissuading him, he looked embarrassed. Looking at the eldest girl who had already gone upstairs, he was a little worried. "Big sister, you also know that Qing Sangu asked us younger brothers to protect the eldest girl. If we are not allowed to go up, if something goes wrong, we will feel bad when we go back."

Pan Xi's perfunctory smile faded away and he raised his head to glance at the second floor.

"There is only one entrance and exit to Xiangming Tower, so just wait there. The eldest lady has the order, how can a maid like me make the decision? You rashly went up and angered the eldest lady, and in the end, we, the servants, will be the ones who will suffer."

Seeing that Panxi refused to give in, Baocai could only snort and sit on the stone steps outside Xiangming Tower.

Pan Xi then slowly walked into Xiangming Building and went straight to the second floor.

The next spring, Qiuying stood by the door. Panxi walked over and asked in a low voice, "Is the eldest lady in there?" The two maids, who were about fourteen or fifteen years old, nodded timidly and replied in a low voice, "The eldest lady said that you can go in by yourself when you come, and we sisters will wait outside."

Pan Xi was stunned for a moment, adjusted her hair, and then pushed the door open as if she was mustering up her courage.

"Girl, the slave is coming in."

Jin Fuyun was standing by the window. When he heard her voice, he did not turn around, but just shouted, "Come closer to me. Look at that person. Have you seen him before?"

Pan Xi came closer through the gap in the half-open window pane, took a look and shook his head.

"My dear young lady, I have never seen you before and you look unfamiliar to me."

Jin Fuyun sighed, "That's right. At the banquet to celebrate the emperor's longevity, it was Pan Lan who came with me. Have you ever seen her..."

When mentioning the deceased Panlan, Panxi felt very sad.

She didn't dare to show it on her face, she lowered her eyebrows and said, "That young man looks very handsome with his white face and red lips."

"Humph!"

Jin Fuyun sneered, "Looks good, of course it looks good, how many people are ugly? None! Look carefully, go down and lead him up."

what?

Pan Xi was stunned. She didn't expect that the young lady came out to meet the young man in secret. But now the young lady looked more and more unfamiliar. The dead Pan Lan was a lesson for her. How could she dare to question it? She just said yes and left lightly.

Just as he was about to go out, Jin Fuyun changed his mind.

"Lead him up through the back door, and don't let Qing Sangu's lackeys see him."

Pan Xi looked back, thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "I'll go right away." He went out, found the waiter of Xiangming Tower, and asked in a low voice about the back door. In such a luxurious and noble building, the waiter was also smart.

"Just follow me, sister."

The second floor only received female guests, so the waiter was a handsome boy. He took Pan Xi through many twists and turns, like a maze, and went down three floors before finally getting out.

Panxi was shocked. “Didn’t we come out from the second floor?”

The white-faced servant covered his mouth and laughed, "Sister, you don't know, our owner is very knowledgeable. The front of the building looks like it has three floors, but there is a floor dug down at the back, so it has four floors."

It is a place that is dazzling with all the real and unreal things, so it has become a popular place since it opened last year. Taking advantage of the popularity of Enke, several poetry readings have been held here.

If people could really see through me at a glance, how could I still do business with high-ranking officials, especially wealthy ladies?

Pan Xi asked how to get to the front door. The white-faced servant led her to the intersection and pointed to the busy main entrance more than ten feet away. "Sister, that's it. If you want to bring any guests, why not let me take care of you. I will definitely bring the guests to you."

May I?

Pan Xi didn't dare show up in front of Bao Cai. If Bao Cai told Qing San Gu that she had brought a strange and handsome man into the eldest lady's box, she and her family would be the next to die.

Thinking of this, she took out a few large coins from her bosom and handed them to the handsome boy.

"Would you mind bringing the gentleman standing in front of the red-maned horse here?"

The white-faced servant stood on tiptoe to look over and whispered to Pan Xi, "Is that the gentleman in the purple brocade robe?"

"Exactly."

Pan Xi urged, "Young man, just go over and tell him that there is a guest waiting upstairs and ask him to come with you."

The pale-faced servant boy agreed.

After a few breaths, the young man left the horse to the white-faced servant and came towards the back door. Pan Xi hid in a shady place and waited for the young man to come down the stone steps and kneel down to salute.

"Sir, my master has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me upstairs."

The young man with white teeth and red lips looked disdainful, "Sneaky, that's more like your eldest daughter's behavior. Fortunately, I've been through the back door of Xiangming Tower many times, so I don't need to miss it this time."
