Since half a month ago, there have been strange noises in the Peony Building late at night.

At first, it was limited to the beams, roofs and some corners. The madam in the building only thought there were rats and asked those who were on the runners to buy some rat poison to clean them.

However, not long after, the sound not only did not disappear, but appeared frequently, and even began to move from a remote corner to the building, breaking several vases from time to time and breaking two calligraphy and paintings.

These losses are trivial matters. Mudanlou's family is very important and does not care, but the problem is that these noises have affected the guests in the building.

It would be fine if you were frightened by this kind of noise at a "critical moment", the problem is that if you really get something bad about it, it will have a significant impact on the reputation of Mudan Tower.

However, before she could step up her efforts to rectify the problem, something happened in early May.

A regular guest staying in the Peony Tower got up in the middle of the night, unconsciously showing his forehead. Nothing else, the blood in his palm was still a bit broken.

Can this not be called?

No one knows why he could sleep so hard, his scalp was bleeding and he didn't wake up, and no one knew who did it, so he could quietly touch the beautiful woman's room on the three floors to do such a thing.

But the responsibility of Mudan Tower must not be escaped. At that time, it was a big loss before it was suppressed.

But no one expected that this was just the beginning.

"From the beginning of May to now, three guests in the building have had an accident. The shopkeeper dared not report to the official because he was afraid of affecting the reputation of the Mudan Building, so he could only ask someone to investigate it privately... Don't say that I told you about this, otherwise I would have to eat the whip!"

The girl reminded Zhou Ze carefully while holding the vegetables in her hand.

She didn't say this because this incident could not be suppressed. In a short period of time, the three guests were in a place where people were mixed. It was impossible to block the news. The madam could control the people in the Peony Building, but could not stop other guests staying in the building.

"The guest was pulled out of his hair while he was sleeping, and he and the people next to the pillow didn't notice the whole process. Can you make people sleep so well?"

Lu Jiu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke. He didn't believe that those guests could "work hard" to the point of being unconscious. He gave Zhou Ze a look and continued,

"Then you have found any results now. It's almost mid-May now, so you can't find out at all."

"We don't know much about this, the shopkeeper has never mentioned it to us."

"Well, then you guys..."

Zhou Ze took the conversation and was about to ask, but the sudden noise outside the door interrupted his words.

"It must be that the beautiful girl from our Peony Building has come out. Two guests will go and have a look."

In order to avoid this sensitive topic, when he heard the movement outside, the girl who was sitting on the bench the other second ago immediately got up and ran to open the door. Lu Jiu and Zhou Ze looked at each other, but did not force others to stay. They each got up and walked out of the door.

As soon as he left the door, there was another cheer in the hall on the first floor and the corridor on the second floor. Lu Jiu leaned against the railing and could not help but look at the third floor.

At this time, on both sides of the stairs on the third floor, there were two teams of girls carrying flower baskets standing on both sides across the stairs, just like what they did during the parade of the courtesan last night, constantly throwing the petals in the basket and laying a path of flowers.

Immediately afterwards, several graceful beauties appeared slowly on the inner side of the corridor on the third floor, holding the railing from time to time, waving down, smiling sweetly.

It has to be admitted that there is absolutely no need to say about the personal qualities of women who can be beautiful in the Peony Building. They have everything they need. For men of this era, beauties of this level cannot be seen casually. It is no wonder that the whole building has fallen into a fanatical atmosphere with their appearance.

"Dear guests, I'll let the girls..."

Standing on the platform at the intersection of the stairs on the second and third floors, the specially dressed madam was promoting the event tonight at the top of her voice, which really attracted a lot of people's attention. The guests who were originally scattered in the Mudan Building and the employees in the building were attracted nearby.

This made Lu Jiu on the second floor immediately realize that his opportunity had come. When he went upstairs just now, he caught the special smell in the air.

Based on the fact that Lu Jiu had a similar reaction before, the gray-feathered crow and the blood in the bamboo bucket, this gave him reason to suspect that this smell was most likely related to the blood he needed or some kind of monster.

But at that time, I couldn’t find a suitable reason to investigate. Now most people are gathered together because of the activities of the Peony Tower. It is undoubtedly much more convenient to find the source of the odor.

"Zhou Ze, I'll be walking around and maybe I can find some clues. I'll come to meet you later."

He patted Zhou Ze on the shoulder, Lu Jiu leaned closer and whispered, the former immediately understood and nodded to show his understanding.

Note the door sign of his private room, Lu Jiu walked along the corridor on the second floor, as if he was watching the platform and gradually began performing activities. In fact, he kept smelling the special smell in the air through his nose, trying to find a relatively rich area.

First, I walked around the second floor and wandered between the closest to the room and the crowd watching singing and dancing in the corridor. As a result, I didn’t smell people or things that were particularly strong. The source was obviously not in this area.

Then there are only the first and third floors left...

Lu Jiu stood at the entrance of the stairs, his eyes turned to the crowd below, sweeping over the faces mixed with obsession and desire.

There are crowds on the first floor, and people are often drinking and having fun late at night. If something is strange, it is very likely to be noticed. And so far, Lu Jiu has only smelled the special smell that causes her own reaction during the patio and in the Peony Tower. This means that the source of the smell is very likely to be someone in the Peony Tower...

"Let us welcome the girl Yinyue, who has won the courtesan for two consecutive months, to make her debut!"

The madam shouted, causing the wolves to "howle". At the entrance of the stairs on the third floor, there was a face with a tassel veil. The graceful beauty walked into the venue in a light dance.

In an instant, the musician team on the first floor began to play the music from the street patrol last night, and the girl named Yin Yue also danced with her graceful temptation, holding the pipa half-covered face and the relaxed and bright music, bringing the already hot atmosphere to a new height.

"In the past two months, Miss Yinyue has come to the forefront with her talent and dominates the position of the courtesan of the Peony Tower. I don't know how many people covet it."

"I heard that this beauty has a strange fragrance, and it will make people fascinated by just getting close to smell it."

"Why did I hear that the rich and wealthy businessmen who were so beautiful that they were so charming that they were so happy? Unfortunately, she was covered in face today, otherwise we would still be able to see the beauty of the country that day."

......

Pong ~ Dong ~

Somewhere on the third floor, the crisp sound of a certain object landing on the ground was accompanied by a dull noise.

The guests on the second floor did not care. The increasingly hot atmosphere of the Peony House Courtesan attracted all their attention. Even if they heard it, they just thought that someone accidentally knocked down the furniture and didn't care at all.

However, the dancing beauty suddenly became stiff and then returned to the normal rhythm without any trace with a lower waist.

Most of the guests did not notice her strangeness.
