I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 93: A hundred flowers bloom! The top brother appears!

Dinghuo Siya.

Chen Mo sat upright, flipping through documents with one hand.

Li Yuan was standing beside her making tea. If you looked closely, you could see that her body was trembling slightly, and her ears were red and hot under her hair.

"My lord, please have some tea."

"Ah."

Chen Mo picked up the teacup, took a sip, frowned and said, "It doesn't taste good."

Li Yuan's breathing was a little rapid, and he said softly: "What kind of tea would you like to drink, sir? I'll send someone to buy it."

I have received a lot of rewards for solving a case recently, plus the several thousand taels I received before, my account is very rich. Let alone tea, I can even drink fine wine as water.

"..."

Li Yuan knew that the adults were talking nonsense again, so he suppressed his hands from doing something naughty under the table and said:
"About half of the backlog of cases have been dealt with, and the rest is expected to be resolved by the end of this month. It will definitely be in time before the Beijing inspection."

Chen Mo nodded.

It is easy to outsource the case, but you will still owe others a favor.

Not to mention the Gui Water Division and the Bing Fire Division, the Six Gates put in a lot of effort this time, and we really have to thank those two great detectives.

"Yuan'er, you've been working hard during this period. Take a rest these few days and stop running around outside."

Chen Mo stretched out his hand and pinched her hips, "You're tired and thin, I'll feel bad."

"..."

Li Yuan's face flushed, and she bit her lip and said, "Sir, stop... stop making trouble... It's working time now..."

How could she not see what Chen Mo was thinking?
You said you wanted her to rest, but you were still trying to do something bad?
It’s not that Chen Mo is demanding, it’s mainly because Li Yuan’s appearance as “a humiliated subordinate who can’t bear the torture of his boss but is forced to compromise” is really infuriating!
Plus the extra BUFF of office attribute...

This sir is going to severely oppress the little general’s mouth and teeth!

()~
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps.

Qin Shou walked in quickly and said excitedly: "Sir, tonight the Jiaofangsi..."

When he saw Li Yuan was there, he stopped talking abruptly.

Chen Mo frowned and said, "Just say what you want to say."

Qin Shou scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "The Jiaofangsi is holding a Hundred Flowers Festival tonight. I was wondering if you are interested... ahem, if you don't have time, forget it."

The first few times he went to the Jiaofangsi, Li Yuan always followed him, so there is no need to say much about their relationship.

What if I make her unhappy and she uses me to practice with her sword skills...hiss, I'm scared!
"Hundred Flower Club?"

Chen Mo vaguely remembered that it seemed to be a grand event where the Imperial Music Bureau selected the most beautiful courtesans.

He wasn't really interested in this, since whoever became the oiran wouldn't affect his ability to get away with it...

Just then, a captain walked into the office and presented a letter.

"My Lord, someone has sent you a letter."

Chen Mo asked curiously, "Who sent it?"

The captain shook his head and said, "I didn't see his face clearly. He was wrapped in a gray robe. After giving me the letter, he disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Chen Mo opened the envelope and saw a familiar paper figure inside.

Infusing the true essence into it, Gu Manzhi's slightly hurried voice sounded in his ears:

"Don't come to the Jiaofangsi!"

……

Play music street.

The sky had just begun to darken and the lanterns had already been lit, shining brightly. From afar, it looked like a sea of ​​colorful flowers.

The gate of Baihua Pavilion was filled with carriages and horses. High-ranking officials and wealthy young men dressed in gorgeous clothes came in one after another. The brothels receiving them at the gate bowed and nodded with smiles on their faces.

The building was even more lively. The hall was already packed with people. There was a stage in the center, surrounded by exquisite silk curtains, which were flickering softly under the candlelight.

"Brother Cheng, who do you think might become the new oiran today?"

"In my opinion, it should be Miss Xiao from Taohuazhu. Her calligraphy and painting are amazing."

"No, calligraphy and painting are not as useful as playing the zither here. I think Miss Yu'er from Qingya Zhai is pretty good."

"Yu'er's foundation is too shallow after all, and she is unwilling to accompany guests. How many people will support her? Besides, there is Zi Yan'er who is suppressing her, and her piano skills are not much worse than hers..."

Everyone was talking about it.

The standards for selecting the courtesans by the Jiaofangsi were very simple.

Only the top performers from each courtyard are eligible to participate and display their talents in public. They must receive a standing ovation to be eligible to stay.

However, the most important thing is to see how much support the patron has.

The more rewards the patrons give, the higher the value of the girl will be, and the top five most valuable girls will be the most valuable courtesans.

The guests who give the most tips can board the pleasure boat with him and cruise on the Canglan River at night.

Even if the girl you support is not chosen as the most beautiful girl, you can still spend the night with her in Baihua Pavilion.

Back hall.

Yu'er looked at Gu Manzhi, who was dressed as a little maid, and whispered, "Sister, has the master received the news?"

"It should have been received." Gu Manzhi looked a little worried.

She knew that the sect would be unable to hold back sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to come so soon!
Ever since the mountain gate was destroyed, only one in ten disciples of the sect survived. In order to expand its influence, Yuehuang Sect has been constantly recruiting talents over the years, and has also been in contact and cooperation with other sects.

Among them is the Gu God Cult in the Southern Wilderness.

The Gu God Cult's methods are sinister. They sacrifice living people to raise Gu, which is against the harmony of nature. Many people in the sect, including Gu Manzhi, are opposed to having anything to do with the Gu God Cult.

However, Ji Lianxing has no scruples in her pursuit of revenge.

Yu Jie is a member of the Gushen Cult and currently serves as a guest elder in the Yuehuang Sect.

"You haven't settled the score from last time yet, and you want to put a curse on Chen Mo again?"

"I will never allow this to happen!"

Gu Manzhi's eyes were firm.

This time, in addition to Elder Yu, there was also movement from the Crown Prince.

Someone was sent to inform Yu'er to send a letter to Chen Mo, inviting Chen Mo to attend the Hundred Flower Festival, and even the silver bills were prepared, a total of three thousand taels, to make sure Chen Mo was allowed on the flower boat!
Although I don’t know his purpose, I can be sure that the prince has no good intentions!
"I explained the whole thing to him clearly in the paper figurine."

"As long as he doesn't do anything stupid and gets away with it, I'll slowly figure out a way later."

thump—

A gong sounded.

The curtain opens and the Hundred Flowers Festival officially begins.

Amid the loud introduction of the host, one girl after another came on stage to perform. The music was pleasant to the ears and the dance moves were graceful. The audience burst into applause from time to time.

Those who could become the top performer in the Jiaofangsi had excellent figures and looks, and their talents were all impeccable.

The beautiful figure and heavenly voice gradually pushed the atmosphere of the party to a climax.

Yu'er also went on stage and played a song.

She made several mistakes on purpose, which even people who didn't understand music theory could hear. Everyone at the scene looked at each other in bewilderment and there was little applause.

With this kind of performance, she should have been eliminated, but she was still kept.

Gu Manzhi's eyes darkened a little.

Obviously, this was also the prince's arrangement.

In the end, there were only ten people left standing on the stage, including four old courtesans.

Next is the highlight of the night -

"Master Zhang Heng from Xilin Street rewards Zi Yan'er with three hundred taels!"

"Master Wang Siyuan of the Wang family rewards Lan Ruo with 100 taels!"

"Mr. Zhao Qian from Donglin Street gives Miaoyin three hundred taels of silver!"

"Wu family..."

The servant dragged a gold paper box through the lobby, and from time to time someone would stuff silver ingots or silver bills into it.

There are ten strings of lanterns hanging above the stage, corresponding to the ten people on the stage. Every time a reward of one hundred taels is given, one lantern will be lit.

Zi Yan'er had already lit seven lamps at this time, ranking fourth, so she was safe for the time being.

She glanced at Yu'er, sneered, and said jokingly:

"Only one light is on? Tsk tsk, it's the last one."

"Your Master Chen didn't come to support you today? It's too embarrassing to not have a decent patron, isn't it?"

"Humph!"

Yu'er was too lazy to pay attention to her.

There are dangers lurking everywhere tonight, she doesn't want her master to come!

Anyway, she has lost her life, so why should she be afraid of losing face?
At this time, the servant's voice sounded:

"Young Master Yan Linghu of the Yan family rewards Yu'er with two hundred taels!"

?

Yu'er looked up.

She saw the burly Yan Linghu sitting in the audience, staring at her with naked eyes.

Last time he tried to use force, which was indeed against the rules.

This time it can be said to be legitimate. As long as the reward is enough, Yu'er will have the game!

The Hundred Flowers Festival was organized by the Ministry of Rites, and there were many dignitaries present. Could Chen Mo still snatch someone away in public?

"We can't rush to deal with Chen Mo. Let's have a taste of this little girl first. I'm so angry..."

"It's a pity that Chen Mo didn't seem to be here... otherwise I would really like to appreciate his expression."

Yan Linghu licked his lips with a ferocious look.

At this moment, the servant's voice, slightly shrill due to excitement, came:

"Master Chen Mo of the Chen family, give Yu'er a reward... one thousand taels!"
