Chapter 50 Ancient 24: Kowtow to Me

Crown Prince? Auction?

These two words quickly attracted the attention of Chu Li-fei and Lu Mo-chen.

Exchanging glances, the two immediately quieted down and held their breath, trying to hear the conversation more clearly.

The soundproofing in the restaurant was good. If they hadn’t happened to have the windows open, and the people in the next room hadn’t been arguing so loudly, they probably wouldn’t have heard anything.

But even so, the person who had been angry seemed to be quickly appeased by the other party. No matter how quiet Chu Li-fei and Lu Mo-chen were, they could only hear a few words.

But all in all, the topic was nothing more than “silver,” “auction,” and “official positions”…

Chu Li-fei’s eyes gradually deepened, and he quickly guessed that the people on the other side were likely engaging in the buying and selling of official positions.

A cold smile Condensationat the corner of his mouth. They were worried about not finding a new breakthrough in the case, but they hadn’t expected someone to deliver themselves to their door.

Bribery, buying and selling official positions… Rainbow Light Pavilion… They were really bold.

He leaned slightly and whispered a few words in Lu Mo-chen’s ear.

Lu Mo-chen’s eyes darted around, and his eyes lit up. He nodded repeatedly, smiled at Chu Li-fei, and a calculating cunning flashed in his eyes, like a little fox.

Next door.

Wang Jian-guo angrily drank the tea that had been brought to him in one gulp, barely suppressing the anger in his heart.

He had learned about the Rainbow Light Pavilion by chance.

He was just a small Staff Officer in the army. According to his ability, unless he had extraordinary luck, he would have no hope of promotion in this lifetime. It could be said that he could see the end of his life at a glance.

It’s just that he wasn’t good at anything else, but he knew how to make friends. Anyone he had met in the army, whether their position was higher or lower than his, could call him brother.

That’s how he learned about the Rainbow Light Pavilion from a colleague.

Although that colleague was not in the same camp as him, the two had known each other for a long time and would occasionally go out for a drink.

Wang Jian-guo also knew that his colleague, like him, didn’t have any special skills and spent all day dreaming and boasting.

Wang Jian-guo had been wondering how his colleague had transformed overnight from a sixth-rank Commandant into a fifth-rank Colonel. He hadn’t heard that he had made any military achievements recently.

He didn’t expect that before he could ask, that colleague got drunk and spilled everything about buying and selling officials like pouring beans.

After Wang Jian-guo learned the news, he also had wicked thoughts in his heart. He prepared a lot of good things and asked many connections before he found out about the existence of the Rainbow Light Pavilion.

What happened later was that he spent a lot of money and finally Take a photo back a bunch of calligraphy and paintings, but now he was being told that they were all fakes. They were all toilet paper!!!

How could he tolerate this?

That’s how Chu Li-fei and Lu Mo-chen heard the scene just now.

Wang Jian-guo swallowed the anger in his heart. If it wasn’t for the fact that the other party was the Crown Prince’s people and promised to find him a good position in a while, he would have almost quit on the spot. At worst, he would make a big scene and perish together.

Wang Jian-guo drank another cup of tea, but he still felt a burst of anger in his heart.

Oh, my god, one thousand taels of silver. His heart was bleeding!

Wang Jian-guo wanted to cry but had no tears. He “hmph-ed” and slammed the door shut as he left.

The person sitting opposite him didn’t seem to take Wang Jian-guo’s dissatisfaction to heart at all. He leisurely called the waiter and ordered a few more dishes.

Lu Mo-chen stood at the corner, taking it all in.

He naturally also saw Wang Jian-guo’s figure.

When he thought of how Wang Jian-guo, as one of the Crown Prince’s men, had caused him a lot of trouble when he ascended the throne in his previous life, Lu Mo-chen felt a little speechless at the scene he had just seen.

Wang Jian-guo was actually like this now, slick and snobbish, and looked very impulsive, as if he had no brains… and his official position was actually bought…

If he hadn’t seen Wang Jian-guo’s face in his previous life and could match it with the current Wang Jian-guo, he would really suspect that Wang Jian-guo had been replaced by someone else.

He narrowed his eyes and continued to wait according to Chu Li-fei’s instructions.

After Wang Jian-guo left, no more movement came from the private room he had been in.

Lu Mo-chen was still watching, but he was already bored in his heart and began to think about other things.

Another incense stick of time passed.

The room that Lu Mo-chen was staring at finally made a move.

A pair of rough hands pushed the door open.

Lu Mo-chen stopped his wild thoughts, his eyes lighting up.

He silently calculated the timing in his heart.

He saw that the rough hands were very dark-skinned, and the thumb pads and palms were covered with calluses. As the door was pushed open, a figure stepped into Lu Mo-chen’s eyes.

It seemed like a young master, dressed in dark green clothes, tall and slender, with slow and measured movements, and a strong scholarly air. His face was fair and gentle, forming a sharp contrast with the color of his hands, the difference between the two being like a deep gully.

It was as if someone had ripped off a person’s flesh and sewn it onto another person’s face…

Lu Mo-chen was startled by the thought in his heart.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his wildly beating heart, and calmed his breath.

Although Lu Mo-chen was still a little surprised, he temporarily suppressed the feeling of something being wrong in his heart and rushed out from behind the corner.

The young master in dark green clothes collided with him unexpectedly.

“Bold! Didn’t you grow eyes when you walk! Do you know who I am? Why don’t you kneel down and apologize to me!”

Lu Mo-chen arrogantly struck first. It was clearly him who suddenly rushed out from the corner and bumped into someone, but now he wanted others to kneel down and apologize to him, acting out the image of a The playboy to the fullest.

The young master in dark green clothes was not annoyed. His eyes, like cold and venomous snakes, swept over Lu Mo-chen, examining him from head to toe.

Lu Mo-chen only felt that his eyes were greasy, as if they were tangible, making him feel disgusted.

“What are you looking at! Do you know who my father is? I’m in a good mood today. If you kowtow to me, I’ll spare you. Otherwise, I’ll definitely tell my father and make sure you can’t handle it!”

“Heh.” The man opposite him spoke coldly, his voice low and hoarse, “What is your father’s identity? Tell me.”

He had just glanced at Lu Mo-chen and naturally saw that his clothes and attire were all expensive. There was no fear in his eyes when he met his gaze, so it didn’t seem like he was pretending. He was just a little unfamiliar, so he asked that question just now.

“Hmph!” Lu Mo-chen snorted coldly, crossed his arms and squinted at the other party, looking arrogant and complacent, making people angry: “My father is the vice general under Prince Qin.”

When the man in dark green clothes heard this, his expression became strange.

Everyone knew that Chu Li-fei, this heteronomous prince, was now at the height of his power. Not only did he have the emperor’s favor, but he also had immense power. He was the object of flattery and flattery by everyone in the capital. Even the status of the people around him was rising.

The man originally thought that Lu Mo-chen was the child of some nouveau riche merchant or a recently promoted official’s family.

After all, such an arrogant appearance was either because the power of the family was enough to cover the sky with one hand, or because they had stayed in a small place for too long and were ignorant, which was why they were so arrogant and arrogant.

If it was the former, then he would naturally recognize who Lu Mo-chen was. The man’s eyes flickered, and he thought about Lu Mo-chen’s words in his heart.

The vice general under Prince Qin, if he remembered correctly, was called Lin Su. He had been following Prince Qin to guard the border and rarely returned to the capital. In that case, it made sense that he couldn’t recognize Lu Mo-chen’s face.

Now that Prince Qin had returned to the capital, Lin Su might naturally have entrusted his child to Prince Qin to return together.

If he relied on Prince Qin… the man pondered, his eyes quietly continuing to look…

No wonder he was so arrogant.

Seeing that the man didn’t speak, Lu Mo-chen raised his eyebrows and said dissatisfied, “What are you looking at? What? Are you scared?”

The man snorted coldly in his heart, seemingly not expecting Lu Mo-chen to be so crude.

Looking at the other party’s arrogant appearance, the man just wanted to turn around and leave.

That’s right, most of the military generals who guarded the border were rough people, the man thought in his heart, believing that Lu Mo-chen’s character was probably raised like this.

Moreover, the border was almost Chu Li-fei’s territory, and Lin Su was the first person under Chu Li-fei. Chu Li-fei had no wife or children, so the remaining people would naturally hold Lin Su’s child in their arms.

The man secretly “tsk-ed” in his heart.

But no matter how powerful Lin Su was, he was only a second-rank official.

Don’t forget, this is the capital, not some desolate place. Under the emperor’s feet, you can hit a big official with a random Smash. Forgive him for being blunt, Lin Su’s second-rank official was really not enough.

But who told him to rely on Chu Li-fei?

When he thought of the task that the Crown Prince had given him, the man in dark green clothes suppressed the disgust in his heart and showed an extremely hypocritical smile. He bent over and cupped his hands: “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. This is a little bit of my heart.”

As he spoke, he handed over a purse.

Lu Mo-chen suspiciously took it,Weigh it the weight, and then showed a satisfied smile, putting the purse away extremely skillfully: “You’re sensible, I’ll spare you this time.”

Lu Mo-chen raised his foot and was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped by a hand stretched out in front of him.

Only then did he see clearly that there was a long scar on that hand, starting from the palm and extending all the way into the sleeve. The scar was gnarled and knotted, like a terrifying centipede, constantly twisting with the man’s movements, as if it were alive.

Lu Mo-chen was slightly stunned, barely dismissing the wild thoughts in his heart: “What do you mean? You’re not letting me leave?”

The man shook his head: “How could I? I just hope that the young master can say a few good words for me in front of the Prince.”

“I still have a lot of good things here. They have been left to gather dust, but now when I see the young master, I only feel that he has an extraordinary temperament and want to invite the young master to see them. I wonder if the young master will do me the honor?”

A cold smile crossed Lu Mo-chen’s eyes. The target had finally taken the bait. He showed a very interested appearance, maintaining his arrogant tone: “You have good eyes. This is my address, remember it!”

Lu Mo-chen wrote the address that he and Chu Li-fei had discussed earlier on a piece of paper and handed it to the man, but saw that his outstretched hand had not been lowered yet, and his face was slightly angry: “What? You’re not letting me leave?”

The man in dark green clothes casually glanced at the contents of the note, took a deep look at Lu Mo-chen’s appearance, and then smiled as he put his hand down: “You’re thinking too much, young master.”

After his figure disappeared at the corner of the stairs, Lu Mo-chen carefully walked around outside first before reuniting with Chu Li-fei.

Seeing Lu Mo-chen come in, a trace of worry flashed in Chu Li-fei’s eyes: “How is it, did the plan go smoothly?”

Lu Mo-chen nodded.

It turned out that everything just now was planned by him and Chu Li-fei.

From the beginning, they had set their sights on the man in dark green clothes.

Although Lu Mo-chen was the Fourth Prince, he was not favored and rarely appeared in front of people. He was almost an invisible person. This was why they had the plan later – to pretend to be a A playboy who did whatever he wanted by relying on his father’s power.

And his identity was naturally fabricated by Chu Li-fei for him. Lin Su did have a child, but it was a daughter, and she was still at the border.

The address given to the man in dark green clothes was also one of Chu Li-fei’s villas, but it was left to him by his mother, so it could not be traced back to him.

Their plan was to let Lu Mo-chen approach the man so as to attract the man to take the bait, so as to obtain information about the Rainbow Light Pavilion.

Now it seemed that the first step of the plan was going smoothly.

Lu Mo-chen briefly told Chu Li-fei what had just happened, and then moved on to other places: “Uncle, that person looks so strange.”

“The color of his face and hands are simply two different people, and there is a deep scar on his hand.”

Chu Li-fei frowned when he heard this.

Two colors?

Could it be… disguise?
