Chapter 30 (1/2)
At this time, in King Mo's residence, Xu Wenlan was sitting on the round stone stool in the yard, closed his eyes and shook his head singing the well-known market ballad in the capital.
”Xu Wenlan.”
Xiao mubai sat in a chair three feet away from him and read by candlelight.
”Huh?”
Xu Wenlan opened his eyes and looked at Xiao mubai. He was dressed in a dark robe, the moonlight shrouded his whole body, the light of the candle beat occasionally, and the shadow hit his astonished eyebrows.
”Can't you hear the water now?” Xiao mubai frowned slightly and asked coldly.
”The sound of water? What sound of water? Where is the sound of water?” Xu Wenlan looked left and right, looked around and asked puzzled.
”The water in your head.” Xiao mubai replied with a slight dislike.
”Huh?” Xu Wenlan chewed the meaning and reacted a moment later. Jump up and point at him and say, ”Xiao mubai! You! Scold! People!”
Xiao mubai finally looked up at him and said sarcastically, ”the reaction is quite fast.”
”It's boring to be friends with you.” Xu Wenlan muttered.
Xiao mubai looked at the courtyard door and motioned him to walk slowly.
Xu Wenlan twisted his neck and said forcefully, ”I'm your brother. How can I care about you in general.”
Xiao mubai put down the book and joked, ”so you are still the illegitimate son of your father and Emperor? Call brother to listen?”
”Ah, bah.” Xu Wenlan spat at him and said, ”you know I don't mean that.”
Xiao mubai looked at him and didn't answer.
Seeing his lukewarm appearance, Xu Wenlan vented his anger and simply forked a topic.
”There are two scenes in the capital today, inside and outside the palace.”
”All the officials in the palace stood on Du Hanfei's side, and the people outside the palace stood on Lu Mingxi's side.” Xiao mubai finally became a man and didn't continue to let Xu Wenlan's words fall to the ground.
Xu Wenlan was moved. They finally could communicate normally. Then he asked, ”what do you think of the song I just sang?”
Xiao mubai helped his forehead and said after a while, ”the words are a little rough. Fortunately, they are easy to understand and easy to pass on from mouth to mouth.”
”Did you find out who was behind the scenes?”
Xiao mubai frowned and shook his head.
”Is there someone in mind?”
Xiao mubai filtered through some people in his mind and thought it was impossible.
After Han SA came back last night, he reported that Zhu ChenLin was sued by Anfeng escort agency, which is famous in Jiangzhou. He is a branch leader of the escort agency. His surname is Qiu mingzhiting and his background is clean.
After coming to the capital, he has been living in Angui inn. He will go to prison every three or five times to make Lu Mingxi's life easier. He usually has no intersection with others, except that he has been to Wentian Pavilion and met childe Bingwen.
So, this childe Bingwen refused him and started business with Qiu zhiting.
It seems that this childe Bingwen suddenly appeared in the capital years ago. Inexplicably, rumors abound in the capital. He once sent someone to check carefully, but found that this person had no origin to find, not even the entry and exit records of the city gate.
Master Bingwen seemed to fall from the sky, and the moment he came, it was already a legend. The people in the capital respected him and thought that there was no news he didn't know, only the money you couldn't afford. Or whether he wants to tell you or not.
