Chapter 786

There are two sets of the best rouge powder in the world, and each set comes in a small exquisite mahogany box. And this thing can't be bought with money, it needs enough face, and it needs to be booked in advance.

Of course, the badge of Xuanqingwei Qianhuguan and the name of Shen Xixing in the Black Flag Camp are still very useful. At least a shop that sells rouge and gouache can’t be trusted, so although Shen Hao didn’t make a reservation in advance, I still bought something from the old shop in the imperial city.

Of the two sets of rouge and gouache, one was naturally prepared for Xia Nu's foolish slave, and the other was a souvenir prepared tonight.

The smoke and dust from the "big exam" in the imperial city cleared away, and after only half a day, no one cared about the three newly dead princes anymore, only the people in the three palaces were crying and wailing endlessly, while the others were staring. All stared at the only one left. And the next transfer of power will not be completed in a day or two. There is still a window of time for King Ling to take power, and it is also the last chance that some people and things want to seize.

Let Heishui keep an eye on the imperial city, and then Shen Hao proceeded step by step with his plan to kill evil, while waiting for news from the imperial city and the south.

In addition, he has personal matters to attend to.

After his business trip, Shen Hao took a carriage to Hong En Yuan, which he hadn't been to for a long time. Apart from the three guards sent by the Commander's Yamen, there were only five personal guards accompanying him. Now Shen Hao kept him at a distance. He didn't want anyone to get too close to him for his private affairs at night, including the three Commander's Yamen. The sent guards are included.

The guards sent by the three commanding yamen were not so talkative in the past. Basically, they did not take Shen Hao's words seriously, so that Shen Hao could only rely on "sneaking" to avoid the eyes and ears of these three people. , and will be blamed afterwards.

But now the situation has changed.

After all, Shen Hao is now a monk at the second level of the Yuandan Realm, and he has also shown his fighting skills in the south killing field, so the three commanders and the guards sent by the yamen must respect Shen Hao's opinion to a certain extent. For example, this time, when Shen Hao came to Hong En Yuan, they wisely didn't follow closely, but hung far behind.

The hustle and bustle of the past has disappeared from the entire street. This street was originally a famous place for fireworks in Fengri City. In the past, from the evening until the early morning of the next day, this street was full of feasting and bustle. Even walking on this road, one could smell the scent of desire. The smell of rouge.

But now, all the doors and faces on this street are closed tightly, and even stray dogs dare to urinate on the faces of the doors when passing by.

Although the military situation in the south is optimistic, the Jing army has entered the second half of the war with a huge advantage, but because of the continuous elongation of the front, the damage in the front and the accumulation of energy for a bang, the front needs more Various materials have not decreased, on the contrary, they are in greater demand than before.

Therefore, the tightening of money and food was not released because of the smooth progress of the war, but continued to carry out the second step of tightening according to the established strategy. After reaching this level, the recreational industry across the country has suffered a fatal blow. All will be closed down. Hualou naturally bears the brunt.

Shen Hao didn't come here to go upstairs and drink wine. Alcohol is no longer available in the market. Because winemaking consumes a lot of food, in order to ensure the supply of the front line, the dispensable things like wine were of course temporarily suspended. Fortunately, the Zhangjia wine shop has been full of money over the years, and it is not a big problem to be closed for a year, and it is stable.

If you want to drink, you can only buy it from the stock in your own wine cellar, or sell it on the black market, and the black market is also very difficult to buy. The price remains high and the supply exceeds demand. It is said that Feilong recently made a lot of money on bootleg wine. A lot of money, and it looks like it will continue to make money for a while.

After crossing the main building of Hong En Building, and bypassing the small courtyard at the back, you can see that there is smoke from cooking in the courtyard, it should be cooking. Shen Hao smiled, went to the door and knocked.

Soon, a crisp female voice asked in the yard inside the door, "Who is it?"

Shen Hao could hear it clearly outside, he remembered the voice was Lianxiang's maid, Xiaoqin.

"It's me, Shen Hao."

"Ah!" There was an exclamation in the yard, followed by the sound of trotting footsteps and the faint shouts that could still be heard after entering the house. Then another maid, Xiao Rong, came to open the door.

Opening the door, Xiao Rong's face was cold. Although she didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction in front of Shen Hao, she definitely didn't smile.

Shen Hao didn't think it was disobedient, he guessed that the people in this courtyard must have emotions for him not coming for so long, and he came here today to dispel this emotion. And the previous situation was really not suitable for his appearance.

"Master Shen, why are you here?"

"Where's your lady?" Shen Hao wasn't interested in answering a maid's words, and he wasn't even interested in waiting for the other's answer, so he opened the door and walked into the yard as soon as he asked.

"Master Shen, you..." Xiao Rong wanted to stop her, but somehow she felt as if she was stung by a bee, and she was terrified and did not dare to move rashly, because she felt Shen Hao squinting at her, and that look made her feel like falling into an ice cellar In general, he swallowed the second half of the sentence.

The small courtyard is still the same, but the flower garden in the corner is blooming, looking gorgeous.

"Hello, Mr. Shen." Compared to Xiao Rong, Xiao Qin was more cautious, and seemed to be very afraid of Shen Hao. When she saw Shen Hao coming in, she quickly bowed and saluted, and at the same time gave way to the back room.

Shen Hao smiled and nodded as a greeting, then followed his memory to find Lianxiang's boudoir.

After pushing it, the door was locked, and there was no sound when knocked inside, but the fluctuation of breath could not be hidden from Shen Hao, he was sure that Lianxiang was inside.

"I am coming."

"you go!"

How could Shen Hao leave? The hand attached to the door overflowed with a little qi, and pushed the door bolt open. The scent on his face made the smile on his face even stronger.

Lianxiang was sitting at the small round table in front of her, but her back was facing him, her figure was still exquisite, and even after a long time, there was a kind of surging emotion in it.

"What are you doing here? You're coming out!"

Lianxiang was halfway through her words when she felt that her whole body was tightly wrapped by a mass of scorching heat, and the familiar smell instantly filled her mind, and her body went limp unconsciously.

"I am coming."

Shen Hao's breath and whispers were heard by her ears, Lianxiang's eyes turned red suddenly, and she sobbed slightly: "I thought you wouldn't come." Even though she was used to seeing all kinds of ugly things on romantic occasions, Lianxiang still loved Shen Hao's long absence. Showing up sad and crying, she was emotional.

With a little effort, Shen Hao hugged Lianxiang in his arms and put it on his lap.

"Why didn't you come to see you? It's just that there were many things before, and I went to the south first, and then there were serious cases one after another, so I really didn't have time to come, and it's not convenient to come to see you."

"Inconvenient?" Lianxiang raised her head, and Lihua looked into Shen Hao's eyes with rain, obviously wanting to explain something to her, is there any inconvenience for her?
