Chapter 31: Thoughts of All Parties

~6 min read 1,046 words

In Xinzheng City, there is a famous place of pleasure called "Zilan Pavilion."

It is a place for many high-ranking officials and rich young masters to drink, have fun, and relax. This vermilion restaurant is located on the most prosperous street in Xinzheng. During the day, when the breeze blows, the purple gauze curtains decorated on the windows and pillars flutter with the wind, adding a few gorgeous colors to this place.

The street in front of the main entrance is always full of traffic and people. At the entrance, there are graceful girls welcoming with smiles, and pink petals fall from the trees on both sides, falling on the faces of the red-faced guests, falling into the wine held by the girls, but it ripples with a layer of deep affection.

The truly lively time of Zilan Pavilion starts from the night. Every night, the whole city is silent, only here is still full of laughter and singing and dancing. Once the carved lanterns on the long corridor are lit, they will not go out before sunrise. The sound of the piano and singing is endless, mixed with the thick rouge fragrance, giving people a psychedelic and intoxicated feeling.

In a private room on the second floor of Zilan Pavilion.

A young man in gorgeous clothes with white hair is standing quietly. In his hand, he holds a small wine cup. The wine in the cup shakes gently with the shaking of his arm, rippling with small ripples.

"The Han Wang has selected the latest investigator!"

A woman with purple hair and a graceful and enchanting figure walked slowly behind the white-haired young man.

"Is it Chancellor Zhang Kaidi?"

The young man didn't look back and asked the purple-haired woman behind him.

The purple-haired woman's mouth curled into a strange smile: "Although I really want to say yes, the answer is the opposite."

"Oh?"

The white-haired man's fingers couldn't help but freeze, and a few drops of wine in the cup spilled, but he didn't care about it. Compared to a little wine, he was more surprised by the woman's answer and the Han Wang's choice.

First, the ghost soldier robbing the pay case, one hundred thousand taels of gold military pay disappeared.

Then, ghost soldiers taking lives happened one after another, and many chief investigators died one after another.

It is worth mentioning that those chief investigators who died were all officials belonging to Chancellor Zhang Kaidi's faction.

This is worth pondering.

It is like a huge black hand, first robbing the one hundred thousand taels of gold military pay, and then preparing to press Zhang Kaidi to death.

And in the State of Han, the only person who can do this is Ji Wuye.

The true master of this night curtain.

Killing those chief investigators is just a beginning. Ji Wuye's real purpose is Zhang Kaidi.

Dragging Zhang Kaidi into the quagmire is the ultimate goal of that person.

The white-haired man thought of another thing: "That person often comes to Zilan Pavilion recently, just to wait for Zhang Kaidi to find him actively. If he knew about this, he would probably be very disappointed!"

For the Han Wang and many ministers of the State of Han, that person is just an idle young master who went abroad to study early.

But for the owner of Zilan Pavilion, the purple-haired woman, and this white-haired young man, they noticed that person very early, and even observed him secretly the first time he returned to the country.

Since returning to the country, the other party often comes to Zilan Pavilion to drink and have fun, seemingly wanton, but they all know that the other party is actually waiting for an opportunity.

An opportunity to be amazing.

Helping Chancellor Zhang Kaidi resolve this crisis, and then borrowing the power of Chancellor Zhang Kaidi to enter the court.

That is the other party's plan.

But all this has a premise, that is, Chancellor Zhang Kaidi is forced to the edge of the cliff, with no way to retreat. Only then, when he sees the last straw, will he be unable to help but grab it.

"He is indeed very disappointed. Today, it seems that because he knew about this, he didn't come to Zilan Pavilion!"

"With one less big customer, today's business will probably be much worse."

The purple-haired woman sighed.

The white-haired young man asked again: "Who is the investigator selected by the Han Wang?"

"Su Xuan!"

The purple-haired woman said a name.

"Is it him?!" A sharp light flashed in the white-haired young man's eyes.

He is not unfamiliar with this one.

Or rather, for many people who pay attention to the state affairs of the State of Han, this one is an unavoidable existence.

Even if this one lives in seclusion and rarely appears in front of people, he is extremely mysterious.

But just based on the rumored ability to summon wind and rain, it makes people unable to ignore his existence. That person has recently become the new favorite in front of the Han Wang.

For the matter of summoning wind and rain, the white-haired young man sincerely does not believe it.

The heavy rain for seven consecutive days earlier, he is more inclined to be a coincidence.

Long drought must have rain, which is the law of heaven's operation.

It is not surprising that the Han Wang would select that person as the investigator of the ghost soldier case: "It is really a suitable candidate."

"Isn't it!"

The purple-haired woman also agreed quite a bit.

"Then you say, can he find out the truth about the ghost soldiers?" The white-haired young man asked again.

"I don't know about this." The purple-haired woman said, and her tone changed again: "However, it is possible to use this matter to explore the reality of this person. Honestly, I am quite interested in him."

The white-haired young man couldn't help but look at the woman and didn't say anything.

He is actually also interested in that person.

"Brother, what do you think of my clothes?"

In the mansion of the Ninth Prince Han Fei.

A girl in pink clothes danced and showed her new clothes to the man in front of her. ===== CHAPTER 33 =====
