Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Vine Cake? Assassination

The murder of Lu'anju was passed down by word of mouth, and the more it spread, the more outrageous it became. The three dead people had gone from being cut off from their heads to being dismantled.

The situation in the guest room was even more bloody as they described, and the timid people screamed in terror.

Li Luotang didn't hear it, so he calmly finished his breakfast and accompanied by Mingcui to Shichahai.

Shichahai is also known as Houhai. It is rumored that Shichahai first and Yanjing City later.

But in fact, Shichahai is not a sea, but a lake.

There are graceful weeping willows planted on the shore of the lake, and the flowers, plants and trees are connected together, lush and green, with thick shade covering the sun, and a gentle breeze coming.

The railings that are rounded back are reflected in the ink-colored satin lake.

Under the sunlight, the lake surface sparkles.

At this time, Li Luotang saw a pair of white geese swimming over, and the goose in front turned around and shouted at the goose behind.

Li Luotang suddenly remembered the "Eighteen Sends to Farewell" in "Liang Zhu" in Yue Opera. On a whim, he hummed: "The male is walking in front, and the female is calling her brother behind."

"If two geese don't see them speaking, how can a female goose be called a male goose?" Gong Jiuxian sang.

Li Luotang heard the footsteps and turned around and asked with a smile: "Why are you here? Is there any news about Mr. Yi?"

"I'll take a break today." Gong Jiuxian smiled, "Continue to sing."

"Eighteen Sends" is Zhu Yingtai teased Liang Shanbo, but Li Luotang was unwilling to sing with him, and said rudely: "I don't know how to sing, I can sing those one or two lines."

As he said that, he walked two steps forward and looked down at the lake.

Gong Jiuxian walked over and stood side by side with her.

The lake water is clear and you can see clumps of aquatic plants.

The aquatic plants sway gently with the waves of water, and among the aquatic plants, they are fish swimming happily.

The fish freely shuttled among the layers of aquatic plants, some turned over and exposed their white belly, some floated on the surface, spitting bubbles, and then swam away quickly.

Seeing it interesting, Li Luotang chuckled.

"Walking around the pond, watching the fish swim, the fish chasing each other and still having fun."

Li Luotang glanced at him, "Missing orange ginger and sashimi fish, and the west wind blew on the four-gilled perch."

Gong Jiuxian laughed in a silence and asked Li Luotang to watch the fish. It would be better to invite Li Luotang to eat fish. "Huixiantang's fish is well made. Let's go and eat it at noon, how about it?"

Li Luotang hesitated for a moment and replied, "Okay."

"Do you want to take a boat to the lake?" Gong Jiuxian saw a boat rowing not far away, "The girl can sing operas and sing small songs."

Shichahai has a beautiful environment and has attracted many officials, families and even people from other places to build palaces or temples here.

Unfortunately, people live in the mansion and cannot go in and visit.

Temples and Taoist temples can enter and exit at will.

Li Luotang was not very interested in visiting temples and Taoist temples.

"Take a boat and go directly to the small dock of Huixiantang, there is no need to take a detour." Gong Jiuxian continued.

"Okay, go take a cruise." Li Luotang said with a smile.

Gong Jiuxian and Li Luotang went to the pier in front, and Mingcui rushed to the front to order the plate, while several followers followed the two of them in a distance.

Everyone got on the boat, the boatwoman took a little bamboo pole, and the boat left the shore and rowed into the lake.

The waves on the lake are as flat as a mirror, and the oars are rowing by, waving layers of waves.

There were snacks and fruits on the small table in the middle cabin, and the water was not yet opened on the red mud stove next to it.

Gong Jiuxian sat down and pointed to the opposite position.

Li Luotang did not refuse, and sat down cross-legged, Mingcui went to take care of the boiling water on the red mud stove.

"This snack looks pretty good, try it." Gong Jiuxian took a snack and handed it to her.

"Thank you." Li Luotang took it and took a bite.

This dessert is crispy and soft, and there is a fresh fragrance of flowers. "What is the name of this dessert?"

"This is a vine cake." Gong Jiuxian smiled slightly, "Mid spring is a good time to eat vine cake. It is early summer, and the wisteria is gradually growing and the cake is made of wisteria flower sauce."

"Made with fresh wisteria flowers, I think it's sweeter and more delicious." Li Luotang finished all the cakes.

Gong Jiuxian took a piece and ate a few bites, and said, "The taste is not much different."

At this time, the boat girl led an eighteen-year-old girl holding a pipa in. "I wonder what song the two young men want to listen to?"

"Sing a song with your best hand." Gong Jiuxian said casually.

The girl sat down on the round pier beside her, gently lifting the strings. After a few clangs, she sang in a low voice in the sound of the pipa: "The rain hits the pear blossoms and closes the door, and bears youth alone..."

There is a resentment in the song, this is a lyric of resentment in the boudoir.

Although the words and sentences are clear and round, they are not suitable for singing at this time.

Moreover, this woman's singing voice is ordinary, and the pipa is not outstanding.

Such skills can only be sung on this cruise ship, making a little money to make a living, and not making a fortune.

Li Luotang regretted this woman and suddenly felt that this scene seemed familiar.

Before she could figure out the reason, the woman raised the pipa and dozens of silver needles shot towards Gong Jiuxian.

Li Luotang suddenly realized that he had encountered assassination when he was on a boat to listen to music last time.

I'm here again today, and she doesn't dare to take a boat to the lake in the future. Really, she's going to have a shadow, okay?

Mingcui shouted: "There is an assassin!"

Although the singer was surprised, Gong Jiuxian's reaction was not slow.

He reached out to scan, swept away all the things on the table, and knocked down all the silver needles.

Gong Jiuxian's follower rushed in from outside the cabin when he heard the sound.

There is only one singer. She doesn't fight with others. She retreats with one blow and breaks out of the window.

The followers chased after him, but saw the singing girl jumping onto a boat.

The boat should have been prepared for a long time. As soon as the singing girl fell, she broke through the water and left.

"No need to chase after me." Gong Jiuxian's plan to stop her follower from diving.

"There are people in the world or in the court?" Li Luotang walked out and asked.

Gong Jiuxian narrowed her eyes slightly, "colluded with each other."

“Many times?”

"I'm lucky."

Li Luotang turned his eyes to look at the bow of the boat, "The boatwoman and the boatman are gone."

"Don't worry, you won't let you float on the lake. They can row the boat to Huixian Hall."

The two stood outside and enjoyed the scenery. The lake was covered with lotus leaves, but now it is not the flowering period. Only the leaves are seen, but the graceful lotus flowers are not seen.

Near the shallow water of the dike, reeds grow in clusters and reeds cover the shore.

The distant mountains are as beautiful as black and beautiful as the scenery.

The mist was shining with the sunlight. When I looked at it, I saw the Silver Determination Bridge shaped like a silver ingot.

Mingcui packed up the cabin, "Young master, Miss, the cabin is packed."

The two of them went into the cabin and sat down. Gong Jiuxian found Go, "Come on, let's play a game."

"My chess skills are average." Li Luotang smiled, "But my chess quality is good, I won't regret it."

"It doesn't matter if you regret chess." Gong Jiuxian looked at her and smiled, with a faint pampering look in her eyes.

Before the game was finished, the boat was docked at the small dock of Huixiantang.

From the Water Gate of Huixian Hall, you can go directly to the third floor.

Gong Jiuxian accompanied Li Luotang, and one of his entourage was ordered to investigate the matter thoroughly.
