"The noble man is joking. Both Fang Zhong and the Madam know that Qingxiao and I have a good relationship. Wouldn't it be dangerous if I had half of the ledger?"

Lin Chonghan smiled slightly, but did not pick up her topic, but asked: "Do you know what a man likes most?"

Qingle was stunned: "What?"

"It's two peerless beauties who are jealous of him," Lin Chonghan said with a smile on his lips, "The prostitute will not affect his life, and he is sensible enough."

She continued: "Due to various considerations, in front of everyone, the relationship between you and Qing Xiao is definitely not good, and maybe there is some tit-for-tat, right?"

The sun is gradually climbing high in the sky, and birds are flying in the sky, chirping crisply from time to time. It should be a good day today.

Qing Le could only hear the violent beating of her heart in her chest.

"Don't be so nervous. Let's go on to say that since the madam knows that you two are at odds, and since you are in a brothel, it is not very likely that she has the ledger with her."

She stopped, with some doubts on her face: "But the search is definitely inevitable. I just don't know how you can avoid it?"

The certainty in Lin Chonghan's words made Qingle realize that she could no longer use excuses, so she sat down on the ground regardless of the dust, and then took off her shoes with difficulty.

A pair of deformed feet wrapped in cloth was exposed in front of Lin Chonghan. She was startled and asked: "Your feet -"

"Let the nobles laugh," Qing Le smiled bitterly, "but since we want to eat this bowl of rice, we must endure these hardships."

She held up her shoes, and Lin Chonghan compared them secretly. He found that these shoes were so small that they could hardly fit on a normal woman's feet; but these shoes were so big that they could accommodate the suffering of the next prostitute.

"I wore them when I danced out of the palace." Qing Le looked at the shoes with nostalgia. She found a gap in the shoes, then peeled off the entire sole, revealing the two sections of satin inside.

"The total I have here is half of the account book," Qing Le took out the silk satin, "There is also the other half, I don't know where it is."

She took out the silk satin, as if taking away a huge stone in her heart, and said: "I originally thought that I would never take it out in this life, thinking that it would follow me until I grow old and die - but I didn't expect that I still have it."

Take the opportunity."

"Qingxiao," a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, as if she saw another person through silk and satin, another dead person, "Close your eyes."

Gu Qingzhang didn't know when he sat next to Lin Shijing and looked at the two women on the other side with him.

Lin Shijing asked him: "How do you know that half of the ledger is at Qingle's place?"

"Because she half said the word ledger," Gu Qingzhang sat cross-legged and started pulling weeds with nothing to do, "Qingxiao must be very cautious to write such an ledger under such circumstances."

"For such a cautious person, do you think she might tell another unimportant person about the ledger?"

He wanted to pull out all the grass on the ground before he could stop. Gu Qingzhang moved his hands while continuing: "There is a natural resonance between women. Even though Chonghan and Qingle have very different identities, she

I will only open my heart to Chonghan alone."

"I just don't know where the other account book was placed by Qingxiao."

After saying that, he patted his butt and stood up. The grass he had pulled out earlier was woven into a grasshopper. When Lin Chonghan and Qing Le came over, he handed the grasshopper to each other like a treasure.

After delivering the grasshopper, Gu Qingzhang was ready to return to Bozhou City to find the remaining half of the account book.

"Qingle, do you know where Qingxiao's room is?"

Qing Le replied: "On the east side of the third floor of Xiaoyue Tower, the room is called Luhua Pavilion."

"Maybe Fang Zhong has prepared a dragnet," Lin Chonghan asked, "What can you do to avoid the sight of his men?"

Gua Er beside him chuckled: "Princess, do you know why the Marquis brought me out this time instead of Qi Si's dead face?"

He took out a piece of face from his sleeve, smeared some glue on it, and the piece of face fit perfectly with Gu Qingzhang's face.

His appearance became a completely different person. When he went to the carriage to change his clothes and came out, his whole person had completely changed.

Lin Shijing also had a strange look on his face. He didn't expect that the other party had such a talent.

"I can come and go quickly by myself. I'll probably be back in the evening," Gu Qingzhang arranged his clothes facing the water and told Gua Er, "Take your brothers and protect the princess and the others."

"If someone from Fang Zhong comes to you during this period, don't be too eager to fight. It's best to take advantage of the situation."

Gua Er nodded with a rare solemn expression: "Yes, Lord Marquis."

Gu Qingzhang mounted his horse and prepared to go to Bozhou City. At this moment, Bozhou City had indeed been laid by Fang Zhong as Lin Chonghan said.

In the inn, there was a lot of blood splattered on the walls, and the tables, chairs and benches were all staggered. There was a person lying across the messy tables and chairs.

This man's body was stiff, and his exposed skin was a cold white. Judging from his clothing, he should be the owner of the inn. Looking up, there was nothing on the owner's neck. It was obvious that his head had been chopped off.

"Sir," his confidant's clothes were still stained with blood, and he stood beside Fang Zhong, "What should we do now?"

Fang Zhong was now very agitated: "What else can we do now? You are a loser and can't even look after a few people. Fortunately, Gu Qingzhang doesn't have a ledger, otherwise you and I would both die."

"You said he also came from the Zhongming Dingshi House," Fang Zhong couldn't help complaining, "Why do you have to meddle in such nosy matters? The common people are just careless, wouldn't it be wrong if he pretended that nothing happened?"

But now that things have happened, it is useless for Fang Zhong to complain. He ignored the faint uneasiness in his heart and told his confidants: "You should take someone with you to Luzhou now. You must let that person take care of the relationship in the capital -

Bring more belongings, and you must not waste your money now."

After his confidant agreed, he grimly prepared to go to Xiaoyue Tower again to see if he could dig out the account book.

Fang Zhong stood up, but was tripped by something at his feet. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was a head.

"What an unlucky thing, get out of here." He kicked the head arbitrarily and led the others out of the inn.

The head was kicked by him and rolled around on the ground several times before finally stopping at the corner of the wall. Strangely, the eyes on the head did not close, but remained open, looking at Fang Zhong's back.

Gu Qingzhang left his horse on the outskirts of Beijing and followed the flow of people into Bozhou City again.

He sneaked into Xiaoyue Tower quietly. There were no guests in Xiaoyue Tower during the day. He went to the east side of the third floor and successfully found Luhua Pavilion.

Gu Qingzhang opened the door and went in. The furnishings inside were very messy, and there were fragments of bronze mirrors on the ground. It must have been searched.

Fang Zhong and the others must have focused their search on the dressing table, so Gu Qingzhang started searching in other places first. As a result, after a stick of incense, he still found nothing.

Gu Qingzhang had no choice but to search the dressing table. There was a chessboard on the dressing table, which divided the Chu, He and Han boundaries. Several chess pieces were lying on the chessboard, and a few more were scattered on the ground.

He was attracted by this chessboard and subconsciously checked the chessboard, only to find that it was an ordinary chessboard.

At this moment, Gu Qingzhang heard footsteps outside the door and realized that someone must be coming.

But the window had been sealed, and as the sound gradually grew louder and time was running out, Gu Qingzhang could only jump onto the rafter first.
