The Autumn Ballad 嫣语赋 Episode 9

Qiu Yan disguised herself as a man and followed Liang Yi to Wanyan Building as a brother. In order to find out the lover of the old beggar as soon as possible, she snatched Liang Yi's purse and handed it to the old lady, and asked for peony by name. Although the old man was puzzled by this, for the sake of gold ingots, he simply brought the two to the backyard wing.

As Liang Yi had expected, compared to other brothel women, what she is good at is figuring out the minds of customers. Seeing that Shaoyao undressed on the spot, Qiu Yan turned away in fright. On the other hand, Liang Yi was very comfortable and quickly obtained useful information from Shaoyao's mouth.

It turned out that Shaoyao was not the lover of the old beggar, and was even annoyed by people because every time he came to Wanyanlou to play, he would default on his bill. But despite this, no one dared to complain on the surface. After all, he was Tao Zhugong's subordinate. As for the sign with the peony engraved on it, it must have been the old beggar who went along privately some time ago, and it has nothing to do with giving it.

Through Shaoyao's narration, Liang Yi and Qiu Yan learned that Tao Zhugong was the boss of Wanyan Building. The sisters also know that he is a very mysterious person.

At the same time, Chen's mother always felt that it was a little strange, so she sent a servant to check on it. It just so happened that Shaoyao deliberately tested Qiu Yan and discovered her female identity. Liang Yi hurriedly knocked him out. The servant wanted to bring safflower soup to the door, but Liang Yi prevented him from entering. He saw the clothes on the floor and Qiu Yan's disguise through the crack of the door, so he left with confidence.

Because a strong aphrodisiac incense was lit in the room, Liang Yi put out the incense in time and gave it to Qiu Yan in person until she gradually regained consciousness. The reason why Liang Yi didn't get the trick was because he practiced martial arts all year round, and his physique was naturally incomparable to that of ordinary people.

Looking at this Wanyan Building carefully now, it is strange from the inside to the outside. Qiu Yan deduces that this is the place where fake silver bills are made and sold. Liang Yi warned Qiu Yan to obey her own orders in everything and not to cause more troubles. If she hadn't made an assertion just now, how could she have aroused suspicion from Chen's mother.

Qiu Yan followed Liang Yi to the corridor, and was worried about how to start when she suddenly saw the little servant sneaking towards the backyard, and behind him there was a man who looked like an official, who happened to be Governor Yao, who was familiar to Liang Yi. At this time, Chen's mother was waiting in the room for a long time. Governor Yao took out the ancestral thing in exchange for a fake banknote, and returned happily afterwards.

Chen's mother turned around and entered the secret passage. Liang Yi took Qiu Yan to turn the mechanism and followed quietly, and found that the inside was actually extending in all directions, like a labyrinth. Therefore, Wanyan Building was built on it.

When they came to the corner, Qiu Yan was shocked to see the body of the old beggar. Liang Yi checked and determined that he was silenced, and the end was the same as Xiao Tie. Not long after walking forward, they came to the cave with a wide view. Liang Yi and Qiu Yan saw Chen's mother reporting the situation to Tao Zhugong. There were boxes full of treasures and three martial arts practitioners. stand not far away.

Liang Yi asked Qiu Yan to observe whether there was an assassin they were looking for, but how could she know that Qiu Yan moved forward and accidentally made a noise that led to exposure. Tao Zhugong heard the sound and ordered his subordinates to attack from both sides. In order to protect Qiu Yan, Liang Yi quickly defeated the opponent with one-to-many.

On the other hand, when Mother Chen wanted to take the opportunity to escape, Qiu Yan hurriedly caught her, but she unexpectedly committed suicide by taking poison. Tao Zhugong was injured and ran into the secret passage, and disappeared without a trace. Liang Yi searched along the blood trail, but he always returned to the place. In the end, he found a woman in the cave. His tea girl Ping'er.

According to Ping'er's account, she and her father were both working in Wanyan Building to make a living, and they knew the secret of this cave by accident, so in order to buy medicine for her father, she often came here to steal money. Qiu Yan smelled a strange smell on the fake silver note, so she handed it over to Liang Yi, only to find out that it was the smell of Hongzhenmen's godly fragrance.

Considering that Ping'er had been to the cave many times, she would definitely know where the exit was. Ping'er readily agreed to take them out. It is precisely because the current emperor is addicted to cultivating immortals and honoring the master of the state, Master Hongzhen, rewarded a piece of land on the outskirts of Beijing to build the Hongzhen Holy Palace, so outsiders are strictly forbidden to enter except the emperor and the high-ranking Hongzhenmen.

According to what it looks like now, the person behind Tao Zhugong is very likely to be the national teacher of Hongzhen, which means that the shocking case that shakes the country. Just when Liang Yi urged Qiu Yan to leave quickly, how could a group of Taoist priests break into the door, so he had to identify himself to see the national teacher. Originally, the national teacher believed that the chopping wood department deliberately framed the Hongzhen Sect, but when the head teacher was escorting Xuan Jing to come, he could not help but feel sad when he confirmed the crime of collusion with Wanyanlou.

At present, it is not clear whether the national teacher will participate, but in order to avoid himself being in danger, Liang Yi tried his best to appease the national teacher's emotions, saying that he has no intention of publicizing, as long as Xuanjing is brought back to the trial. The national teacher readily agreed. How could he know that Lingzheng gave an order, and the rest of them drew their swords to face each other. It turned out that he was the mastermind behind Wanyanlou. Lingzheng threatened Qiu Yan's life and forced Liang Yi to kill the national teacher himself. Liang Yi had to deal with it and asked the other party to give him one night to think about it.
