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.
Xiao mubai also has news he wants to know. Therefore, he had personally met this childe Bingwen. Although his hopes were not high, he was disappointed by Bingwen's final reply.
Just as you have been in the dark, you have lost your desire for light. Suddenly a voice tells you that you may meet the light. You're nervous, but you're looking forward to it. But in the end, he told you that it's a pity that you can only feel the loss of being in the dark forever.
"Mubai. Mubai! Xiao mubai?"
Xu Wenlan's croaking voice sounded in his ear. Xiao mubai closed his eyes and endured the impulse of slapping him to death.
"I can hear you."
"You're in a daze. I just called a lot." After being wronged for a moment, Xu Wenlan asked curiously, "who do you think of?"
"Master Bingwen."
"Ah, is that the son of Bingwen, who has a great reputation in the Tiange recently?" Xu Wenlan looks like I know that man.
Xiao mubai nodded.
"He must have something to do with Lu Mingxi's case. But there are people behind him."
"And... People? Who else can there be?"
"I checked the background of Childe Bingwen. He suddenly appeared in the capital years ago. Later, he set up a house and lived alone. Slowly, he bought some servants to serve. Those servants are ordinary people with clean background. If the person behind the scenes is childe Bingwen, how did he manage to be known all over the city overnight and the songs spread by word of mouth?"
Xu Wenlan nodded frequently and asked again, "what about the people behind him?"
"How do I know?" Xiao mubai looked like a fool.
"Hey, No. how can there be anything you can't find out? Why don't I believe it?" Xu Wenlan firmly conveyed his affirmation of Xiao mubai's ability.
Xiao mubai frowned.
"Don't mention the person behind him. There is no trace of his origin."
"So strange? Where does he live? Wen Tiange? I've checked it all?"
"The place where I live is a normal quadrangle. As for Wen Tiange, it was an old shop before, but later it was rented by the waiter of the little Marquis and changed its name. The second floor was also sublet to childe Bingwen, who didn't know each other before."
"Little Marquis? Is it the little Marquis who is behind the scenes?"
Xiao mubai snorted coldly and asked, "how old is the little Marquis this year?"
"Thirteen. No, it's fourteen after the new year." Xu Wenlan replied seriously.
"He has been weak since childhood. He has stayed in the mountains for 13 years and returned to Beijing for less than two months. Can you have a little brain?" Xiao mubai scolded Xu Wenlan, but his face at the beginning of summer appeared more and more clearly in his mind.
The young Marquis of Xiahou residence only went down the mountain for two months. Why did he hate Xiao Yanjun, favor Xiao Zimu, and love Xiao Muhong. Xiao mubai felt that the beginning of summer was also a mystery, which, like Bing Wen, was a mystery that could not be solved for the time being. Will such two mysteries blend together? Impossible, he denied the idea. I even feel that I am as absurd as Xu Wenlan.
Xu Wenlan was reprimanded and touched his head. He felt that he was still a little.
"Aren't you curious?" Xu Wenlan wanted to encourage him to continue the investigation.
"Curious. So go and help me find out." Xiao mubai patted him on the shoulder.
"Hum. Who do you despise? Just check." Xu Wenlan is unwilling to show weakness.
Xiao mubai gave him a perfunctory look that you can.
Xu Wenlan turned her neck and walked away bravely
