Chapter 2 Seeking Death
Jinque Tower on Jinque Street.
The huge and magnificent building stands in the lotus lanterns that fill half the sky. There is a thin mist inside, and a beautiful woman in palace costume is holding a lantern and smiling in the mist.
The breeze blows, the fairy mist lingers, the eaves of the pavilion are decorated with golden wind chimes that tinkle, and the draped red gauze flutters, reflecting the fragrance of clothes and hair between the scenes.
"You are quite amusing. You invite a eunuch like me to a brothel. Are you implying that I am weak and incompetent?"
A gorgeous and strange male voice sounded from behind the gauze curtain. The faces of the accompanying officials changed at the same time, and they all stood up and knelt.
"Your Excellency, your words are too serious. How dare we?"
The man to whom they knelt to apologize, however, let out a low and evil laugh.
Several people shivered and raised their eyes cautiously.
The first thing I saw was a naked leg dangling from a luxurious high seat. The curve was slender and perfect, but pale as a demon.
Next came the man leaning lazily against the black tiger-skin jade throne, his other long leg elegantly half-bent, his crimson peony-embroidered cloak disheveled and wide open, revealing a large area of pale chest muscles. One hand was hooked around a white jade pot, his face was evilly beautiful and delicate like a doll, his smile was gorgeous and captivating!
"Oh, am I not right? If a eunuch goes to a brothel, the prostitutes will also be worried..." The man smiled strangely and beautifully like a fox, with his eyes narrowed, and his pupils were as dark as the abyss, as black as hell.
Everyone looked at each other, wiped the cold sweat from their faces, and laughed at the same time.
The man leaned lazily in the big chair, picked up the wine flask and took a sip, then said casually, "Tell me, what is the purpose of the three gentlemen inviting me here?"
The plump Lord Li stepped forward first, his expression fawning, "This morning at the court, His Majesty entrusted the matter of the military disaster in Lingxi to the Governor. We Lingxi officials are delighted. We heard that the Governor would be leaving tomorrow, so we hurried here to see him off."
The two adults on the side quickly echoed, "Yes, yes."
The man's thin lips curled up, red and strange, "I remember the Lingxi group, and the three adults were also among them, right?"
"Yes, yes, it's precisely because we're going to be traveling together and need your help along the way that we're planning to hold a grand banquet to express our gratitude to you, Lord Governor!"
After saying that, he winked at his companions around him.
The latter smiled knowingly and clapped his hands.
A group of people who had been waiting outside the pavilion immediately carried the things in.
“Pah pah pah…”
Ten large mahogany boxes were lined up in a row.
Lord Li looked up with a smile and clapped his hands again.
Ten boxes were opened at the same time.
For a moment, the glitter of gold, silver and pearls illuminated everyone's faces.
The dancers and servants accompanying her in the pavilion stared with their eyes wide open and their mouths agape!
There were ten full boxes of gold, silver and jewelry. Their family had never seen so much money in their entire lives.
Unfortunately, the person on the high seat just glanced at it and was obviously not interested.
The three officials looked at each other nervously when they saw this. This was all the wealth they could afford in the capital.
Obviously, this still failed to impress the cold-blooded and cruel head of the East Factory.
If the Lingxi incident were to be exposed, they would face the grave crime of having their property confiscated and their clan exterminated.
Fortunately, they had made sufficient preparations. It took them a lot of effort to find out the Governor's secret preferences.
The three of them exchanged glances and clapped their hands again.
A magnificent golden cage was carried up by everyone. The cage was made of heavy gold and covered with thick silk.
Sure enough, as soon as the things were brought up, the lazy people sitting in the seats immediately looked over with curious eyes.
The three of them immediately showed joy on their faces. Lord Li smiled flatteringly and said, "Master, this is a wonderful toy that we spent a lot of money and spent more than six months to find. I guarantee that you will like it when you see it!"
"Oh?" The man opened his narrow eyes, his dark, bottomless pupils tinged with interest. "Open it and take a look."
Lord Li nodded in agreement, smiled, and personally stepped forward to open the curtain.
In the golden cage, there were three children who looked like fairies. Their faces were painted with delicate eyebrows and eyes. They were naked and huddled together with innocent and pitiful expressions.
Looking closely, these three people are all boys, and have been treated like eunuchs before entering the palace.
"Hiss~" A round-faced little eunuch who had been serving with a smile in front of the high seat couldn't help but gasp.
Upon hearing this, Lord Li quickly smiled and bowed, "Eunuch Le, you also think these identical triplets are very rare, right?"
The round-faced eunuch looked at the three people who were smiling brightly, and forced a smile with a stiff face, while the hairs on the back of his neck stood up at the same time.
These three fat-headed idiots are really looking for death!
I tried to look back out of the corner of my eye.
Sure enough, in just that instant, the lazy man on the high seat slowly opened his narrow and sharp eyes, and then slowly smiled.
His smile was extremely lively, unlike the lazy and teasing smile just now. This time the man was really happy. His wild and enchanting face was like a red lotus blooming in an evil stream, vivid and charming, and captivating.
"Interesting, really interesting."
The man slowly sat up, his cold, pale feet landing lightly on the ground. His cold, crimson lips gave him an unusually seductive smile. "I am very pleased with your generous gift."
The three adults were overjoyed upon hearing this. "This is just a small token of our appreciation. As long as the Governor is satisfied, it will be a great honor for us!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
"Since you have been so devoted to me, I naturally cannot be stingy. Come, bring up my delicious food so that the three adults can have a taste."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of beautiful women in red came out from behind Shaman, rushed forward and surrounded the three adults, followed by dozens of pairs of boneless soft hands, which came down on them and undressed them.
In just a moment, the three adults were naked.
But there was no trace of shame on the faces of the three men. Instead, they were excited and distracted. Surrounded by so many beauties and in the public eye, the Governor was indeed better at having fun than them.
But before they could start to attack the beauties, they were lifted up by a group of beauties grabbing their hands and feet.
The three of them were stunned for a moment, looking at the man on the high seat in confusion.
The latter supported his face with one hand, his long, raven-feather-like black eyelashes casting a charming and enchanting shadow. He smiled faintly and said, "My three lords, don't panic. Look, the good stuff is coming."
The man raised his hand and pointed.
The three of them turned around and saw that three peculiarly shaped circular turntables had been moved in front of the pavilion.
As soon as the things came up, the faces of the three officials changed.
What the hell is this?
While they were still in confusion, the three of them had already been pinned down on the disc by the women.
The man was stripped naked and locked up like an animal waiting to be slaughtered. No matter how stupid they were, they realized something was wrong. They looked up in panic, only to see a row of people kneeling in front of the man.
The group of people knelt on the ground with their heads bowed respectfully, holding up a dark red log with daggers shining coldly spread out on it.
