Almost everyone knew about this rumor. Weixin had naturally heard of it, but she had never been there. Moreover, it was said that a minister in the court was killed. The Emperor suspected that it was the work of a killer hidden in the Zhenming Tower. However, when he sent guards to search for him, he could not find him. Even if he went there regularly or irregularly, it was still an empty tower!
"That's just a rumor. Wu Zhen still thinks it's true?”Wei Xin muttered softly. Even if it wasn't a rumor, Weixin didn't want to go to that group of people. She was worried that those people could take money to do things, but if they didn't keep their mouths shut and sold her out after taking her money, even if the emperor would protect her, Ao Xiaohan would definitely skin her alive. Therefore, it was better not to take the risk.
Then, how should he deal a blow to that arrogant Ao Xiaohan? Weixin buried her head in her thoughts!
The next day, Ao Xiaohan's Drunken Immortal Restaurant had become famous because of the new song " Falling Flowers " that he had performed last night. Before nightfall, all the rich and powerful lecherous men had already gathered at the restaurant. Even the old guests of Dreamlike Restaurant had gone to join in the fun!
"F * ck, don't worry. Ao Xiaohan, you're a thief. What makes you think you can be so proud?”Weixin was so anxious!
"Not good, Young Master. I heard…" Mei 'er hurried over.
"I told you to pay attention to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. Is there any new news?”Weixin asked?
" This servant has heard that it's not just that singer who knows how to sing. King Ao has spent a lot of money this time. I don't know where he got a few beautiful women. Although they haven't gone on stage yet, the few wealthy merchants who have been lucky enough to see them all said that those women are very iconic, and..."
"More? What?"
"Didn't Young Master ask Xiao Feng to get…that medicine? But Uncle Fu didn't allow it to be sold, but this servant heard that King Ao had also found the medicine and even had the servants shout that the effect was amazing!”
What was that? There was such a thing?
Weixin almost died of anger,[Damn Ao Xiaohan, did you also send someone to Russia to get the ancient 'Viagra'?] Are you done? Aren't you clearly stealing my business?
Two more days passed, and the business of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant was getting more and more prosperous. However, Dreamlike Restaurant was very bleak. Every time Ao Xiaohan met Weixin, he would hold his head high."This is only the beginning. The good show is yet to come. This king will rob you of everything!”He wanted to take revenge for her kicking him once!
"What are you proud of?" Weixin clenched her fists and asked. Who knows who will win or lose?"
"Is that so? Then we'll see!" In order to completely defeat him and put his mind at ease, Ao Xiaohan had really made up his mind to fight her to the end!
Days passed. Not only the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, but the business of Ao Xiaohan's rice shops and taverns was so good that it made his peers jealous, especially when Ao Xiaohan introduced a magical and quick-acting aphrodisiac. Although it was shocking and shameful, Weixin secretly asked around for a few days, and countless men had secretly gone to ask for the medicine!
He couldn't bear it anymore, he didn't need to!
Weixin decided to take a risk. She wanted to take Wu Zhen's suggestion: Damn it, even if the tiger didn't show its might, it wasn't a sick cat. Moreover, this great aunt was about to show her might.
Dreamlike Pavilion!
Wei Xin secretly called Wu Zhen over." Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, go to Zhen Ming Tower. If someone is really paid to do things, then give him some silver and let him help steal Chu Kuang's personal clothes for the world to see!"”
"Young Master has finally decided?" Wu Zhen's eyes lit up with excitement.
Weixin nodded and instructed carefully," In case of trouble in the future, cover your face and don't reveal your identity!"”
"Young Master, you're not coming with us?" Wu Zhen raised her eyebrows.”
"I believe you can handle such a small matter!”Weixin didn't think that she was a good person. She had always valued money over people. She wouldn't do dangerous things herself!
Weixin instructed again. Her expression was dark and her tone was serious."If you succeed, I will definitely treat you well. If you fail, you must not expose me as the mastermind!”
Wu Zhen did not have time to think about how the young master she had admired for a long time would treat her well. Instead, she was worried that if she really failed, would she accompany her out? It seemed unfair!
Weixin seemed to see Wu Zhen's hesitation and said,""If I succeed, everyone will benefit. If I fail…I remember that the emperor dotes on me very much yesterday. Even if you expose me as the mastermind, I will only be reprimanded a few times. Wu Zhen, think about how to decide. I won't force you to go!”
'I…'
Wu Zhen hesitated for a moment before she made up her mind-in order to gain the young master's favor in the future, she decided to make this trip!
The night was dark, and the capital was quiet in the twilight. Weixin was tossing and turning in bed. Wu Zhen should have gone to the Zhen Ming Tower. I wonder if he can succeed?
Weixin thought about it again and again and decided to go and take a look!
Weixin got out of bed and started to put on her clothes. When she went out, she bumped into Mei 'er, who had just finished cooking in the kitchen."Young Master, where are you going so late at night?"
"Go get some wind. You can rest. You don't have to follow me!”Weixin strode away, leaving Kong Meier with a frown. It's so late, and there's still wind?
As she walked on the streets, the evening breeze was very cold on her face. Because she used to travel between Ai Manor and Dreamlike Restaurant at night, Weixin was used to walking at night.
After walking in the dark for about an hour, they arrived at Zhen Ming Tower. The tower had seven floors and the night was dark. Wei Xin climbed up the wooden stairs one floor at a time. Although he couldn't see his surroundings, he could tell that this was an abandoned tower. The walls and floor were covered in dust and cobwebs. Occasionally, he could hear the squeaking of rats! She didn't know which floor she had reached, but Weixin, who was also a woman, felt more and more afraid. She guessed that although Wu Zhen had agreed, he might not have come at all. There was actually no one at the top of the tower!
When Weixin was about to retreat, she vaguely heard the voice of someone on the top of the tower. Weixin was brave and walked to the top of the tower quietly. She saw Wu Zhen's back under the moonlight and a masked man standing beside her. Judging from his body shape, it should be a man. Weixin immediately hid beside her and eavesdropped!
"I…want to ask you for a favor. This is…silver!”Wu Zhen said submissively and handed over a hundred taels of silver notes with her trembling hands. She remembered that she had reached the level of the tower in the dark and lit a torch according to the rumors. She waited for a long time without anyone, thinking that it was really the rumors. Just as she was about to give up, someone suddenly appeared behind her, and his face was covered like hers.
It seemed that no one wanted the other party to recognize them!
It was An Hun. He had spread the rumor that someone who needed to light a fire on the top of the tower and then someone would appear to do things for him according to His Lord's orders. His Lord had arranged many killers in the capital. As long as someone saw the fire, they would come to gather silver for His Lord. However, no one had lit a fire on the top of the tower for the past few years.
Today, because the imperial court had sealed the city, they had not been able to catch the assassin who had killed General Wang's family. After noon, the whole city had been released. An Hun had planned to leave tomorrow, but he did not expect to see the fire on the top of the tower before he left!
He wanted to see who was the first person to come and ask for help. He didn't expect it to be a woman's voice!
Looking at the silver she handed over, Grimace lowered his voice and said,""You want to find someone to do things for a hundred taels?"
"My request…isn't high. It's just…stealing!”
"I seem to have forgotten to mention that the rule for hiring me is to kill 10,000 taels of silver and steal 5,000 taels of silver. If you want me to steal something, I will steal 5,000 taels of silver and not a single cent less!”
What was that?
When Weixin heard that the price was too high, she instinctively jumped out and shouted,""Five thousand to steal something? You're robbing me!" After saying that, he realized that he had exposed himself. He hurriedly covered his face with his hands. Unfortunately, under the weak moonlight, An Hun could still see his face clearly!
Ai Weiying!
"Young Master, you're here!" Wu Zhen was already worried. When she saw Weixin, she approached her like a little bird.
Weixin pushed her away. She knew that Grimace had seen her face clearly. Fortunately, she did not cover her face with her other hand. She stared at Grimace and said,"Are you the legendary person who accepts money and works for others?”
"No matter who it is, stealing something costs five thousand taels? It's too dark. Why don't we go rob it!"
"Since it's you, the price…can be discussed!”An Hun didn't know why he had retreated. Could it be that he wanted to repay her for saving his life a few days ago?
"Is there room for discussion?" Weixin asked. However, she felt that this deal might not be successful. After all, he had already offered five thousand taels. No matter how much they discussed, it was impossible to lower it to one hundred taels! Humph, she already thought that bringing 100 taels of silver for Wu Zhen was too much. If she had to spend 5,000 taels of silver, she would rather steal it herself!
"What do you want me to steal?" An Hun asked.
Weixin felt that she should only tell him after they had agreed on the price, lest this person leaked the news to Ao Xiaohan. That would be troublesome!
Therefore, Weixin said," Don't worry about what you want to steal. I'll give you 100 taels at most. If you're willing, we'll consider it a deal. If you're not willing, we'll pretend that we've never seen each other today!"”
"No!" An Hun shook his head. Five thousand to a hundred? She really knew how to bargain!
"Then we can't continue the discussion. Wu Zhen, let's go!”Weixin said and turned around.
"Wait a minute!" An Hun didn't know why he stopped her. Anyway, he was watching her turn around. He suddenly remembered the kiss that day and felt something strange in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, An Hun adjusted his emotions and asked calmly,""A hundred taels it is. Tell me, what do you want me to steal?”
He agreed?
Weixin blinked her watery eyes and looked at him,[He actually agreed to lower the price from 5,000 to 100? Is he really short of money?]
"Tell me, what did you steal?" An Hun asked.
It seemed like he was really short of money! That would be easy!
Weixin said," It's very simple. Steal a person's…clothes and hang them on the city gate. Then mark who the clothes belong to!”
"Just like that?" Whose clothes was she going to steal? And why steal?
Wei Xin looked at An Hun quietly,"Yes, that's it!" But remember, you stole Ao Xiaohan's bedding pants!”
The cold moon hung in the sky, and the surroundings were so quiet that even breathing could be heard!
An Hun stared at Weixin in surprise. A faint mist appeared in his eyes, as if he was confused."What do you want me to steal?"
"Did I not make myself clear?" Weixin asked back. She could imagine the man's shocked face under the mask!
Sigh!
It was sad to be born in ancient times. Women had to work at home every day, feed the small fish in the pond, and then wait to get married and raise their children!
