Dressed As the Deadly Opponent of the Male Protagonist of the Imperial Examination

On the second day, Pei Yunxiao came to the Wang's restaurant again.

She had an appointment with Tang Heng, and when Tang Heng got off work at noon, she still ate here.

At this time, Tang Heng hadn't come yet.

"Princess Pei, are you looking for me?" Wang Xuan sat opposite Pei Yunxiao, looking a little uneasy.

"Prince Wang has delivered letters to me and my elder brother for many years, and I have to thank him in person anyway." Pei Yunxiao held up the wine glass.

"You are too polite, you can't afford it!" Wang Xuan hurriedly toasted: "I just raised my hands and helped my cousin a little favor."

After five years of absence, Pei Yunxiao's momentum has only increased compared to the previous year, and his gestures are full of power. Wang Xuan subconsciously put himself in a lower position.

"I had a misunderstanding with Brother Wang at the inn the day before yesterday. I haven't had a chance to explain it. But I don't know, why did Brother Wang target those people?" Pei Yunxiao tentatively asked.

Wang Xuan shrank his fingers. It turned out to be for this, no wonder.

"It's not a big deal, but I'm curious to see them sneaky."

Pei Yunxiao did not ask, but turned to the question: "When I was chatting with my brother yesterday, I heard that the salt price in Qingshan County has recently increased rapidly, and the cost of the restaurant is increasing. Brother Wang is very overwhelmed. Is there such a thing?"

Speaking of this, Wang Xuan is really bitter.

"Oh, what can I do with a small business..."

"In the past, the government's parity price of salt had a fixed amount of rise and fall, and it would not be excessive. But recently, I don't know what happened, and the price is scary. My restaurant has not dared to buy a grain of salt this month. No, someone just complained that this dish was too weak!"

Why? The Jiangnan salt gang was taken over by the court, and He had just taken over the large private salt trade in Jiangnan, and he was out of stock. There are regulations for the transfer of official salt, and it is not yet time. There is less salt in the market and demand exceeds supply. Why doesn't the price rise?

Pei Yunxiao continued to ask: "According to the law of the salt and iron monopoly of the dynasty, the price of salt has risen for no reason, and the government has the right to inquire. Has the county government investigated this?"

When Wang Xuan heard it, he looked at Pei Yunxiao with weird eyes, as if she was in vain and came from a big family in Beijing, how could she be so naive.

"Prince Pei, you don't know? As early as three years ago, the original five or six official salt houses in this city were all in one family. The shopkeeper of this family is the wife and brother of the county magistrate. !"

The wife and brother of county magistrate Zhang Bai monopolized the official salt trade in Qingshan County?

Pei Yunxiao raised his eyebrows, and his eyes flashed with interest. It's a bit interesting, she deliberately pretended to be stupid and followed Wang Xuan's mouth.

When the two were talking, Tang Heng arrived, and Wang Xuan stood up and left.

As soon as he returned to the backyard of the restaurant, Wang Xuan ran into the shopkeeper Wang.

"What's the matter? What did Young Master Pei tell you to do?"

Shopkeeper Wang heard that Pei Yunxiao was back yesterday. You know that for so many years, many people thought that Pei Yunxiao had forgotten Tang Hang in the ravine.

Wang Xuan looked around, lowered his voice, and uttered a word: "Salt."

Shopkeeper Wang was surprised: "What did you say?"

"I've said everything." Wang Xuan stretched his hands: "Yi Young Master Pei's origin, since he asked, it is necessary to investigate. This matter must be left to him, other people, nothing can be found out! "

Shopkeeper Wang sighed: "That's true. I just hope he can find out something. If this continues, Qingshan County won't be able to eat salt..."

"What's wrong with Brother Xiao? Did something happen?" Tang Heng saw Pei Yunxiao's worried face from the time he was eating, and he kept it up until he returned to the inn before finally asking.

Pei Yunxiao pondered for a moment and said, "I think, I know why these escorts stopped in Qingshan County with great fanfare."

"Why?"

"Huh." Pei Yunxiao sneered, "Because the place where they connect is in Qingshan County!"

"Really? But wherever private salt is really rampant, you have to go further south!" Tang Hang was puzzled.

"This is where they are cunning."

"We all thought that Fenyanghou would go south to meet the leaders of the salt gang, but we forgot that they could also go north. If Fenyanghou went all the way to the south, it would be easy to expose the salt gang resident. Choosing in Qingshan County can mislead those who are pursuing it." Yun Xiao analysis.

"Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Bai, the magistrate of Qingshan County, is also a link in their chain of interests. Naturally, he feels a lot of peace of mind in his own territory."

"Brother Xiao is really smart, what should I do now?"

Just as Pei Yunxiao was about to speak, he heard three knocks of varying lengths outside the door—it was Jinnian's signal.

"Come in."

"Little son!" Jinnian stepped forward solemnly: "Jinhe and I found a group of people in disguise at the gate of the city. I have identified it. It is Fenyanghou!"

Tang Heng shook: "It's exactly what Xiaodi said!"

"What can they do?" Pei Yunxiao asked.

"It's just that I stayed at Yuelai Inn, and the group of escorts have not changed." Jinnian replied.

Pei Yunxiao tapped his fingers on the table a few times and said: "This is still waiting to see if someone is secretly following, so we must not act rashly. Keep your eyes on it, after a few days, they will definitely move."

Pei Yunxiao expected it to be pretty good.

Three days later, the **** who lived in the Qingshan Guanyi went to the Yuelai Inn to meet the disguised Fenyanghou. After returning, he packed up and left the city without stopping.

The guards left, but Fenyanghou and the group still stood still.

Jinnian and Jinhe were hesitant in their hearts, wondering if they chose to stay in Qingshan County and stare at Fenyanghou if they made the right decision.

But Pei Yunxiao was quite confident.

The **** was only to **** the account books, and now the account books must already be in the hands of Fenyanghou, so of course the **** is useless.

In this way, after a few more days, Jin He found out that Fenyanghou's subordinates were in the only brothel in the county and had a singer for the whole night. Pei Yunxiao immediately decided

They are going to meet!

At the end of spring and early summer, the evening breeze at night was still slightly cool. Except for Goulan Wasi, the entire county town was silent.

Qingshan official post.

Jin He bought two brightly colored brocade dresses from a ready-to-wear store, and used them for Pei Yunxiao and Tang Hang to change into them.

After changing his clothes, Pei Yunxiao still felt that it was not enough, and called Jinhe to buy two folding fans. Only then did he feel that it smelled like those dudes in the capital.

"Jinian and Jinhe stay and go to Yuelai Inn to see the situation. My brother and I went to the brothel to stare at them."

Pei Yunxiao and Tang Heng laughed all the way through the night, swaying into the gate of the brothel.

"Brother, what I wear today is ‘Colorful’!"

At this time, the first floor of the brothel was full of people, watching Orchid dancing on the high platform intently. Pei Yunxiao joked pretendingly, and fixed his eyes on the man in Tsing Yi beside the railing on the second floor.

She's quite courageous, standing outside and watching the dance grandiosely, it's really unscrupulous.

Tang Hang heard Pei Yunxiao's smile, a little embarrassed. He looked down at his clothes and at Pei Yunxiao's. The two of them were really good. So he grinned with a smirk, and squeezed a word from his teeth unwillingly: "Brother Xiao must be a flower **** who has never seen the country before."

"..." Pei Yunxiao's mouth twitched.

Don't talk about it, civilized you and me! When did Tang Heng use his mouth-cannon skills? Why doesn't she know?

"Yo? Isn't this Young Master Tang?"

Two people were playing professional smirks one by one, and someone suddenly appeared in the diagonal sting, which shocked both of them.

"Mother Li?" Tang Hang looked at the old bustard in surprise.

The old bustard scanned Tang Hang's dress up and down, and looked at Pei Yunxiao, who was also eye-catchingly dressed, with a flattering smile in his eyes: "Master Tang is well developed! I already knew you are capable! Why! , Mom will find two girls for you and your friend, have fun?"

"Yes, brother, the brothels are all famous..." Pei Yunxiao joked in a low voice from the side. Let you say I am a flower cock!

The old bustard was in front, and Tang Hang could only listen.

He smiled at the old bustard, and refused: "No need..."

"Oh, don't!" Pei Yunxiao used a fan to block Tang Heng's chest: "Mother Li, forgive me, my brother is very pedantic, so I will find a sister, and I will have a drink with my brother."

The old bustard smiled openly: "That's right! Embroidery, come and wait for Prince Tang!"

A gorgeous girl came up, saw Tang Hang and Pei Yunxiao standing side by side, and when she rolled her eyes, she climbed onto Pei Yunxiao.

Pei Yunxiao didn't expect to lift a rock and hit her own foot, so she had to hold back half of her body's discomfort and walked upstairs with Embroidery. Tang Hang covered his mouth and smiled and followed behind.

On the second floor, Pei Yunxiao looked down at the lobby, and saw a group of five people walking in from the door. The head of the county magistrate, Zhang Bai, who had not seen him in five years, had gained weight!

The five people looked serious, looked upstairs, met Fen Yanghou's gaze, nodded without a trace, and walked upstairs.

Pei Yunxiao swept over the embroidered waist and quickly flashed into the room. Tang Hang stopped outside for a while, and then followed in.

"Master Tang, the scores and songs you gave me before are out of date, can't you write them?" Xiuxiu asked Tang Hang while pouring wine for the two.

Pei Yunxiao looked at Tang Heng questioningly, but Tang Heng was very calm: "I have written some scores and songs for them before."

? ? ? Pei Yunxiao was shocked now.

What kind of messy work did this male protagonist with innocent brain circuits do in order to make money!

Think of Tang Heng's mind as a large database. It is estimated that there are some isolated piano pieces, and it is understandable to make some money out of it.

But... Pei Yunxiao secretly made up his mind to find opportunities to fund Tang Heng some gold and silver in the future.

After all, this is a potential stock for value investing!

"Girl Embroidery, this is for you, my brother and I have something to say." Pei Yunxiao took out a gold ingot from his arms.

Xiuxiu took it ecstatically, grabbed it in his hand, turned and left without saying a word.

Pei Yunxiao and Tang Hang looked at each other, and couldn't help but chuckle—the handsome guy was really unattractive in front of money.

As soon as Embroidery left, Pei Yunxiao opened the back window of the room.

Under the window is the backyard patio of the brothel, quiet without anyone.

"Brother saw which room they entered just now?"

Tang Heng stayed in the brothel for a period of time and was familiar with it. Coupled with his memorable skills, it can be said that the furnishings and layout of the brothel are in his grasp.

"In the innermost. There is a terrace outside the window of that room. They probably don't know. But if you want to go from the outside, you can only go to the roof."

"Huh?" Pei Yunxiao was in a daze and went to the room? She is afraid of heights!

Seeing her look dull, Tang Hang laughed blankly: "Don't worry, I'll take you up, you won't be able to fall down."

Yes! The male lead will do his best! Pei Yunxiao was relieved, and circled Tang Hang's arm: "Brother Lao is already."

Tang Hang was taken aback. He has never been so close to him before, not for women, not for men...not to mention.

He lowered his head to look at Pei Yunxiao's tight lips, and then realized that Pei Yunxiao was scared.

He looked out the window, and underneath was the hard sand.

"Hurry up!" Tang Heng grabbed Pei Yunxiao's slender wrist and jumped out without hesitation.
