While talking, the two of them had returned to Dongjuxian Inn.
As soon as I returned to the inn, I was greeted by the innkeeper.
“Ms. Li, Miss Sun, you are back.” He said eagerly.
“Shopkeeper, is something wrong?” Xiang Nan asked when he saw this.
"It's like this. Just now a dozen people from Jinyiwei came and said they wanted to ask you two to go to the Yamen for questioning. Later, Miss Yang, who lived in the VIP room in the south wing, fended them off with a few words.
Those Jinyi guards are usually like wolves and tigers, but for some reason they are as docile as house cats in front of this Miss Yang. "The shopkeeper explained.
“Miss Yang?!” Sun Xiaohong was stunned for a moment, then nodded and guessed that it was Yang Yan, the Jinghong Fairy.
“Yes, she also ordered a table of wine and food and invited you two to come and sit down.” The shopkeeper said as he handed over another invitation.
Xiang Nan opened it and saw two lines of beautiful small words on the invitation, "I heard that Li Tanhua is a drunkard and has specially prepared fine wines and delicacies. I sincerely invite you to the banquet. Do not refuse." It was signed by Fairy Jinghong.
"Shopkeeper, please tell Miss Yang that you will go immediately after changing your clothes for me." Xiang Nan handed the invitation to Sun Xiaohong, then nodded to the shopkeeper.
"Okay." The shopkeeper nodded, "Ms. Li, Miss Sun, and Miss Yang will be staying at No. 1 South Chamber." After that, he said goodbye and left.
“Master Li, you guessed right, she is really the Fairy Jinghong.” After reading the invitation, Sun Xiaohong said to Xiang Nan in surprise, “What do you think she did when she invited you to the banquet?”
“There’s no good wine, no good banquet, maybe you want to demonstrate.” Xiang Nan thought for a while and said.
"Yes." Sun Xiaohong nodded, "You said before that the two million and a half million taels of silver were lost, and the last two possible destinations were the bank and the **** agency. You just said that Shangguan Jinhong had nothing to do with the lost silver. Now it seems that, The possibility of Jinghong Fairy greatly increases."
If one of the two is eliminated, the possibility of the remaining one is, if not 100%, at least 89%.
Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Instead of analyzing and analyzing, it's better to ask her directly."
…
Xiang Nan and Sun Xiaohong went back to their room to change their clothes, and then went to No. 1 South Chamber to go to the room together.
When they came to the door, Xing'er greeted them with a smile and let the two of them in.
Entering it, you will see a stunning beauty coming forward. She is fragrant and beautiful, and her phoenix eyes are full of spring. She is like a fairy descending to earth. She is so beautiful that it is no wonder that she is known as the "Jinghong Fairy" by the world.
There are really wrong names, but there are no wrong nicknames.
“Master Li, Miss Xiaohong, I want to apologize to you first. I sometimes wear men’s clothes for convenience, and I have no intention of deceiving you.” Fairy Jinghong said with a smile.
"Understood." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "There are always many people who covet beautiful women in the world."
In ancient times, there was no concept of equality between men and women, and men dominated the world. Bai Xiaosheng arranged a list of weapons and was not even willing to include women in the list.
Fairy Jinghong is so beautiful that she can easily get into trouble, so there is nothing wrong with being careful.
"Master Li is indeed reasonable." Fairy Jinghong smiled and said, "Please sit down, both of you."
“Myolie, I said you are a girl, why are you pouting and angry?” Sun Xiaohong looked at Myolie and teased.
The girl is just a servant, but she is the young lady’s sister. How can they be confused with each other? "By the way, you were the one delivering drinks at Yuebin Tower just now." Sun Xiaohong asked again with a smile.
"Yes, I rushed to Yuebin Tower at that time to see what kind of Hongmen Banquet Shangguan Jinhong was hosting." Four more assassins came out to cause trouble."
"I asked Xing'er to go there." Fairy Jinghong also said with a smile, "Shangguan Jinhong is too deceitful, Jing Wuming and too cruel. I will never trust this kind of person. Come on, let me toast you two!"
"Please." Xiang Nantong raised his glass, took a sip of wine, and then nodded, "Good wine, good wine."
The wine has a mellow taste and a sweet taste. It is indeed a good wine.
“It is said that Li Tanhua is addicted to alcohol. This little girl is going to test you.” Fairy Jinghong smiled upon seeing this.
“The bamboo leaves in Xinghua Village are green, and they are brewed with water from the quiet spring.” Xiang Nan tasted the taste.
Although he is not as addicted to alcohol as Li Xunhuan, he occasionally drinks for fun. What's more, he came several times in the Ming Dynasty. "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", "Sword Rain", "Wulin Gaiden", "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword"...
He has been a national advisor, a rich man, a martial arts leader, and even an emperor. He has tasted all the fine wines in the world, so it is not difficult for him to distinguish fine wines.
“It’s really not difficult for you.” Fairy Jinghong said with admiration.
"It's not easy to stump you." Xiang Nan also smiled and praised, "Three words with the same pronunciation but different meanings all refer to the Ming Dynasty. You actually got the same result, you are really clever."
In terms of intelligence and wit, Yang Yan is considered very powerful.
"It's just a joke, don't take it seriously." Fairy Jinghong waved her hand and said with a smile.
"By the way, I have to thank you for helping me solve my difficulties. Listen to the shopkeeper..." Xiang Nan said again.
Jin Yiwei just came to see him and Sun Xiaohong, thanks to Yang Yan for sending them away. Otherwise, I don’t know how much trouble it will cause.
"Don't mention it, don't mention it." Fairy Jinghong waved her hand and said with a smile, "Little girls are nothing in the martial arts world, but in the capital, except for the emperor, little girls can build some connections and friendships."
Xiang Nan smiled slightly and said, "It is said that fairies have many friends, and they are indeed well-deserved."
“Master Li, don’t get me wrong, our lady is not that kind of woman.” Xing’er saw that Xiang Nan seemed to have something in her words, so she quickly clarified.
“What kind of woman?” Xiang Nan asked with confusion.
Xing'er suddenly looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
…
"Okay, let's get down to business." Seeing this, Fairy Jinghong said, "Why did Master Li get into trouble with the Golden Consort?"
“Fairy is really well-informed.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Sun Xiaohong was shocked. She didn't expect Fairy Jinghong to be so powerful and know all these secrets.
"There are no secrets in the capital." Fairy Jinghong said confidently, "Which concubine the emperor visited last night will be known to the common people today. Hero Li, I guess you are aggressive and aggressive by nature. The more difficult things are, the more difficult it is for you." You want to put it on your shoulders, right?"
“Then you really don’t understand me at all.” Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, “I have been hanging pots in Taipu City to help the world for more than ten years, and I have never been willing to pay attention to the disputes in the rivers and lakes.
If the Empress Dowager hadn't summoned me this time and entrusted me with tears, I wouldn't have wanted to wade into this muddy water. But since I have promised her, I will never give up halfway, and I will always give her an explanation. "
