Chapter 649 Differential Treatment
If genuine products exist on the market, then any counterfeit products that leak out will inevitably be discovered.
The problem lies here: King Luo suspects that the mastermind behind it all is an antique enthusiast who has collected many precious antiques, and then he sends people to create fakes based on his own collection.
In this way, the genuine products are kept in his hands, making it difficult to detect the counterfeiting.
Several business deals were made at Wenjunlou, and he guessed that the other party was probably a lecherous old man who preferred male homosexuality.
"What you said makes some sense."
Lin Yuesha gave a thumbs up, saying that the prediction was spot on, not a single detail was wrong.
First of all, the pockmarked face does not favor male homosexuality, nor is he a sleazy old man.
Lin Yuesha decided to flatter Luo Wang, causing him to stray further and further down the wrong path, so that he would never catch the pockmarked face in his lifetime.
"Lin girl, don't even think about hiding it. The Lin manor is only so big. I know what Qin Nanyan's brain is like. It was your bad idea that she went to block Xu Da back then. So just tell me honestly, where did you hide her?"
The Prince of Luo put down his teacup. He guessed at a few places but found them unlikely.
“Cousin, please speak freely. If Lord Lin makes a scene, Qin Nanyan’s assassination of a high-ranking official is a serious crime. This case must be investigated jointly by the Five Cities Garrison.”
At least this will let Xu Da know what's going on, so that when he deploys his forces, he will deliberately avoid that place.
"Is it a serious crime?"
Lin Yuesha frowned. If Qin Nanyan were caught, the consequences would be severe.
"Of course, losing your head would be the least of your worries."
Lin Shusheng was a favorite of the new emperor and was groomed to be his confidant, which is why he was appointed as the Prefect of the Capital, which is equivalent to a prefect under the emperor's nose, far surpassing a series of third-rank officials.
"Not only is Qin Nanyan unlucky, but I suspect your father will file a lawsuit against the Qin family."
To put it more bluntly, Qin Nanyan was acting under the orders of the Qin family, causing the Qin family to be implicated and taken the blame.
Lin Yuesha clicked her tongue. In other words, Qin Nanyan's assassination of her scumbag father dragged the entire Qin family down with her, achieving her goal of revenge.
"I hid Miss Qin... at Wenjun Tower."
Lin Yuesha decided to tell the truth: it would be safer if the Prince Luo's mansion could accept her, as no one would dare to search the mansion.
"I don't concern myself with other people's business."
The Prince of Luo flatly refused, saying that Qin Nanyan was a problem.
"Cousin, you..."
Xu Da never expected that Lin Yuesha's bad ideas would come one after another. Sending people to Wenjun Tower, was she going to find male prostitutes?
"No, pretending to be a male prostitute."
Lin Yuesha's voice wasn't much louder than a mosquito's buzz; she had no other choice but to get away from what was in front of her first.
If this matter is suppressed tonight, it might escalate to the point of closing the city gates tomorrow, making it impossible for Qin Nanyan to escape.
"puff……"
Luo Wang nearly spat out his tea, then casually chuckled, "Miss Qin becoming Young Master Qin, Wenjun Tower can impersonate him for a fee, but do you have a pseudonym?"
Every male prostitute at Wenjun Tower has a nickname.
"I don't know."
The incident happened so suddenly that Lin Yuesha didn't have a chance to go out. She planned to dress up as a man and go to Wenjun Tower for some fun the next night.
But after all this time, I wonder if the madam still recognizes her. What if she brings up old grievances about not paying her in the past...?
"I have already settled the four hundred taels of silver. You may go without worry."
Luo Wang looked out the window, laughing until he could hardly breathe.
Since he was afraid of being confronted by people from Wenjunlou, he should have settled the bill earlier. Instead, Lin Yuesha waited for him, insisting that it was public funds being used for personal expenses.
The Prince of Luo didn't care about the money, but who could he ask for it from?
"Cousin, why don't you come pick me up at your residence tomorrow night?"
Ever since Lin Yue'e was discovered sneaking out of the mansion, Old Madam Lin has been keeping a close watch on her, and Lin Yuesha is no longer as free to go out as before.
"Why do I need to pick you up? To go to Wenjun Tower?"
Xu Da immediately shook his head. He still vividly remembered being caught red-handed by his mother last time, and he still couldn't explain it away. What if she went again...? He didn't want to!
"We are a very close brother and sister."
Lin Yuesha pretended to be pitiful, but Xu Da wouldn't pick her up, so she figured she wouldn't be able to leave the house.
They are not blood-related siblings.
Xu Da immediately severed all ties with the government.
"They're like real siblings."
Lin Yuesha said very seriously, "Cousin, have you forgotten how I rescued you from your predicament at Aunt's?"
If she hadn't reminded Madam Xu to change the menu, Xu Da would still be eating shredded potatoes and braised pork.
"Don't forget, you're the one who taught my mother how to cook shredded potatoes and braised pork!"
Xu Da shook his head, refusing to listen. If it weren't for Lin Yuesha's inspiration, his mother wouldn't have gone to such lengths. He's been eating hot pot every day lately, and he's about to have another breakdown.
“You have an older brother, go find him.”
Xu Da covered his ears, ignoring Lin Yuesha's words. This little girl was good at deceiving people, and he absolutely couldn't agree to anything. Once he got on that pirate ship, he wouldn't be able to get off.
“My eldest brother has passed the imperial examination and is studying at the academy.”
Mentioning Xiao Qi, Lin Yuesha wore a smug expression. She had slapped her stepbrother twice last time, which was really wrong of her, but he wasn't the type to hold grudges. She would make him some good food as an apology after he came down the mountain.
Her elder brother is so pure and virtuous, how could he go to a place like Wenjun Tower!
"You bastard, Lin Yuesha!"
This is discrimination! I've never seen such biased treatment before!
Xu Da was furious. Xiao Qi wasn't his biological brother, but his stepbrother. In a way, he and his cousin had no blood relation. Why was he the only one targeted for this scheme?
"Are you taking me with you or not?"
Lin Yuesha talked until her mouth was dry, but Xu Da remained unmoved.
"No, you can't go! You're not allowed to!"
Xu Da was very firm and there was no room for negotiation.
“Oh, cousin, you’re not married yet, and I know how worried your aunt is. My dad is only ten years older than you, and he has a whole family of children. I’m already this old.”
Lin Yuesha sighed and looked sadly out the window. "I haven't been to visit my aunt at home recently, and I miss her very much."
"Speak your mind."
Xu Da's temples twitched as Lin Yuesha shamelessly threatened him.
"Come with me to Wenjun Tower. Don't worry, all expenses are on me."
Lin Yuesha slammed her purse on the table and said with great authority, "Bring enough money. We're not short of cash!"
Wenjun Tower is a bit of a trap, but there's no other place Lin Yuesha can think of.
"Little Lin, you can't force a relationship. Don't make things difficult for Lord Xu. I'll go with you."
Luo Wang immediately accepted the job, saying that as long as Lin Yuesha spent money, everything was negotiable.
Lin Yuesha was shocked, then a possibility occurred to her. Clutching her empty purse, she said, "If we don't look for Wenjun, his appearance fee is two thousand taels of silver!"
It's too expensive. I can only look at it. If I buy a fancy vase, I'll look at it day and night, year after year, and I'll get tired of it.
Besides, Lin Yuesha knows the beauty Ziyuan, and seeing a beauty doesn't cost her any money!
"Wenjun isn't someone you can just see whenever you want. I heard that Wenjun Tower has a new male prostitute who has beautiful handwriting, but he's only worth four hundred taels."
The Prince of Luo mentioned that the flower's name was Peacock, and it was said that the person came from a poor family and had no choice but to serve customers, only for a little money for writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, and would only be available for three days.
