Chapter 20: Thoughts of All Parties

In the city of Xinzheng, there is a famous land of wind and moon called "Purple Orchid Pavilion".

It is a place for many high-ranking officials and wealthy young masters to drink, have fun, and relax. This vermilion red restaurant is located on the busiest street in Xinzheng. During the day, a gentle breeze blows through, and the purple gauze curtains decorated on the windows and pillars sway with the wind, adding a touch of brilliant color to this place.

The street in front of the gate is always bustling with traffic and people coming and going. At the entrance, there are smiling girls with colorful faces welcoming each other. Pink petals fall from the trees on both sides, onto the faces of those red faced guests. In the wine carried by those girls, it creates a layer of deep affection and honey waves.

When the Purple Orchid Pavilion is truly lively, it starts at night. Every night, the whole city is silent, but only here are still laughter, singing and dancing. Once the carved lanterns on the long corridor are lit, they will not go out before sunrise, and the sound of the qin and song will continue to be heard, mixed with the thick fragrance of rouge, giving people a feeling of ecstasy and intoxication.

On the second floor of the Purple Orchid Pavilion, in an elegant room.

A young man in splendid attire with white hair was standing quietly, holding a small wine glass in his hand. The wine in the glass swayed gently with the shaking of his arm, creating small ripples.

"King Han has selected the latest investigator!"

A woman with purple hair and a graceful and charming figure walked slowly behind the white haired youth.

"Is it the opening place of the Prime Minister's country?"

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

The purple haired woman's mouth curved 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 condense, causing a few drops of wine to fall from his glass. However, he didn't care about it. Compared to a little bit of wine, he was even more surprised by the woman's answer and the choice of the King of Han.

Firstly, there was the Ghost Soldier Robbery Case, where 100000 taels of gold in military pay disappeared without a trace.

Another series of ghost soldiers demanding their lives occurred, and many chief judges died one after another.

It is worth mentioning that the deceased chief judges were all officials of the Xiangguo Kaidi faction.

This is worth pondering.

It's like having a huge black hand, first robbing the 100000 taels of gold military pay, and then preparing to strangle the open ground to death.

In Han country, there is only one person who can do this, and that is Ji Wuye.

The true master of this night scene.

Killing those chief judges is just the beginning, and Ji Wuye's true purpose is to open up the ground.

The ultimate goal of that person is to drag them open into the mud.

The white haired man thought of another thing, "That person has been frequently visiting the Purple Orchid Pavilion recently, waiting to be actively found. If he knew about this, he would probably be very disappointed!"

For the King of Han and many ministers of the Han Kingdom, that was just an idle young master who had already gone on a study tour.

But for the owner of the Purple Orchid Pavilion, the purple haired woman, and this white haired young man, they had noticed him a long time ago, and even secretly observed him at the first moment of his return.

Since returning home, the other party has often come to the Purple Orchid Pavilion to drink and have fun. It may seem like they are indulging in debauchery, but they all know that the other party is actually waiting for an opportunity.

A chance to make a big name for yourself if you don't know it.

Help the Prime Minister to open up and resolve this crisis, and then use the power of the Prime Minister to step into the court.

It's the other party's plan.

But all of this has a premise, which is that the Prime Minister is forced to the edge of a cliff with an open mouth, and there is no way to retreat. Only then will he be unable to resist catching the last life-saving straw when he sees it.

"He was indeed very disappointed. It seems that he didn't come to the Purple Orchid Pavilion today because he knew about it!"

"Without the patronage of a major customer, today's business is likely to be much worse."

The woman with purple hair sighed.

The young man with white hair asked again, "Who is the person chosen by King Han to investigate the case?"

"Su Xuan!"

The purple haired woman uttered a name.

"Is that him?!" The young man with white hair had a hint of brilliance in his eyes.

He is not unfamiliar with this person.

Or, to many people who are concerned about Han's national affairs, this is an unavoidable presence.

Even though this person is reclusive and rarely appears in front of people, it is extremely mysterious.

But just with the rumored ability to summon wind and rain, one cannot ignore his existence. Recently, that person seems to have become the new favorite of the King of Han.

The young man with white hair sincerely does not believe in calling for wind and rain.

The seven consecutive days of heavy rain earlier, he was more inclined towards some kind of coincidence.

Long drought leads to rain, which is the law of the Heavenly Way's operation.

It was not surprising that the King of Han would choose that person as the investigator for the Ghost Soldier case. "He is really a suitable candidate," he said

"Isn't it?"

The woman with purple hair also quite agrees.

"Do you think he can uncover the truth about the Ghost Soldier incident?" the young man with white hair asked again.

"I don't know about that," said the woman with purple hair, her tone changing again. "However, you can use this matter to pry into this person's reality. To be honest, I'm quite interested in him."

The young man with white hair couldn't help but glance at the woman and didn't say anything.

He actually has some interest in that person.

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

Ninth Prince Han Fei's Mansion.

A girl wearing a pink dress danced and revealed her new clothes to the man in front of her

Unfortunately, the man is a person who is not familiar with charm and humor. He touched his chin and said, "It looks no different from the one a few days ago. Is this really a new outfit?"

"You!"

Upon hearing these words, Honglian suddenly became angry and gritted her teeth.

Her brother is good at everything, but his eyesight is not good. It's probably because he drank too much alcohol, so he lost his eyesight in advance.

"Speaking of which, it's rare for Brother to stay in the mansion instead of going out to drink and have fun today!" Red Lotus said with a hint of sarcasm in her words to Han Fei.

After Han Fei returned, she occasionally sneaked out of the palace to find her long lost brother to chat with. However, nine out of ten times she failed, and the other brother went out to drink.

Today, she actually met her.

Han Fei smiled faintly and said, "Occasionally drinking in the mansion is also a good experience!"

As he spoke, he suddenly changed the topic and asked a question to Honglian, "Have you ever seen Mr. Su Xuansu, who once prayed for rain for his father, while you have been living in the palace for a long time?"

"If we meet, what kind of person is he?"
