Gao Feng stood aside, looking at Su Fei's calm appearance, with only gratitude in his heart.

Fortunately, I had a keen eye for gold and invited Su Fei to protect me.

If Su Fei wasn't so powerful, I might have become a dead soul long ago.

He secretly made up his mind to fully cooperate with Su Fei in the future, and he would only obey Su Fei's orders.

Think of this.

Gao Feng felt that he should exert more effort in front of Lord Su, he said to Su Fei.

"Lord Su, I will also keep an eye on these rebels. I will come back when they all enter Heavenly Prison."

Su Fei naturally has no objection to this. Since you are willing to do it, then go ahead and do it.

Several doctors soon came and took Jiang Haitao, Celestial Person Xiong, and Zhang Xing away for treatment.

After almost an hour, Gao Feng came back panting.

"Lord Su, everything has been arranged. Have all these prisoners entered Heavenly Prison? They are all under strict supervision."

Su Fei nodded to show that he understood.

Gao Feng carefully observed Su Fei's face and said.

"Lord Su, these rebels have already entered Heavenly Prison. We have Heavenly Prison's torture tools to serve them all night long, so there is no need for you to worry."

"I know that you warriors have strong physiques. Even if you stay awake for days and nights, it won't matter. You have worked hard these days investigating the case, and you haven't been to our Heaven-Answering Prefecture recreation place yet."

"Why don't you let me take you to the flower boat on the Qinhuai River to have some fun?"

Su Fei thought for a while.

Last time at Guangling Commandery, he was busy investigating the case and had no time for recreation.

This time I came to Heaven-Answering Prefecture, so I should go and see the flower boats there. The flower boats of the Qinhuai River are quite famous.

"Lead the way."

Gao Feng looked happy and hurriedly walked ahead to lead the way.

When they walked out of the government office.

In the far distance, a figure on the roof was holding a cylindrical object like a telescope.

He saw Gao Feng Su Fei through the lens. He stared at Gao Feng's face a few more times and compared it with the portrait in his hand.

His eyes flashed with shock, then he put away the cylindrical object, muttered something to himself, and left directly.

Gao Feng called two sedans at the gate of the government office, and he and Su Fei sat on one of them.

"Lord Su, riding in a sedan chair is not as fast as riding a horse, but riding in a sedan chair has its own fun."

Su Fei took a look at the sedan chair. It took four bearers to lift one sedan chair.

Of course it's fun to be a person.

It's just a little slow.

Qinhuai River is sparkling in the night, lanterns on both sides of the river are lit like stars, and flower boats with carved beams and painted beams float on the river.

The sound of silk and bamboo and the fragrant air drifted along the night wind.

Gao Feng took Su Fei to the pier. A flower boat with a plaque of Moon-Washing Pleasure Boat was waiting on the shore. The hull was painted in vermilion, and the window lattice was carved with a lotus pattern.

This is one of the best flower boats on the Qinhuai River.

As soon as they stepped onto the deck, the madam in green robe quickly came up to greet her with a warm smile on her face.

"Oh, my Lord Gao, you are a rare visitor. You haven't visited our Moon-Washing Pleasure Boat for almost ten days. Have you forgotten our girl?"

Su Fei looked at Gao Feng with a playful look.

The madam teased me after ten days. It seems that Old Gao is a regular customer.

Gao Feng looked a little embarrassed.

"Don't I have official duties for the past ten days?"

When the madam spoke, his eyes quickly glanced at Su Fei, and saw that Su Fei had a calm temperament. Although Gao Feng was standing with him, he was half a body behind.

She knew immediately.

He quickly bowed and saluted.

"This young master looks strange. He must be a distinguished guest of Lord Gao. Come in quickly."

Gao Feng smiled and patted the madam's arm.

"Mom has a sharp eye, this is Young Master Su. I specially brought him to our Moon-Washing Pleasure Boat. He will arrange the best programs for me today. If you neglect Gentleman Su, be careful with your skin."

"Don't worry, our service at Moon-Washing Pleasure Boat is one of the best at the Qinhuai River, and it will definitely satisfy our two distinguished customers."

The madam led the two of them into the cabin.

As soon as you walk into the cabin, the cabin is covered with thick wool carpets, which are soft when you step on them.

The walls are hung with landscape calligraphy and paintings by famous artists South of the River, and a bronze incense burner is placed in the corner, burning elegant sandalwood to dispel the moisture of the river wind.

There is an Eight Immortals table in the middle. On the table are warm daughter-red and carved fruit plates, as well as several plates of exquisite snacks.

Osmanthus cake, almond cake, and pine nut candy are all Heaven-Answering Prefecture's special snacks.

As soon as the two sat down, the madam smiled and backed out. Not long after, the gauze curtain at the end of the cabin slowly opened, revealing a Xiaoxiao stage.

Six women in water-sleeved dance costumes moved lightly on the stage.

They wore pale pink dance clothes with silver thread patterns embroidered on the skirts. As the sound of pipa played behind them, their sleeves lifted slightly, and they danced like butterflies under the moon.

Behind the translucent screens on both sides, two female artists covered with gauze sat on chairs, holding pipa in their arms, lightly plucking the strings with their fingertips, and melodious melody flowed along the strings.

It's as graceful as flowing water and crisp as the song of birds. It complements the movements of the dancers and makes everyone feel comfortable physically and mentally.

Gao Feng picked up the wine pot, poured a glass of amber daughter's red for Su Fei, and said with a smile.

"Lord Su, this is the special red wine of Moon-Washing Pleasure Boat. It was buried in the ground for five years before it was taken out. After it is warmed, it becomes more mellow. Please try it."

Su Fei picked up the wine glass and took a sip. It was indeed better than ordinary drinks.

He leaned back on the soft chair, looked at the fluttering sleeves on the stage, and listened to the melodious sound of the pipa. The fatigue from days of investigating the case gradually dissipated, and he felt a little at ease in his heart.

Seeing that Su Fei looked relaxed, Gao Feng also started drinking happily, nodding lightly to the sound of the pipa and pointing at the dancers on the stage.

"Lord Su, the girl who leads the dance is called Shui Ling'er. She is the number one among us Moon-Washing Pleasure Boat. Qinhuai River is the best at this sleeve dance. Many young men have broken their heads just to get a look at her."

Su Fei looked along his fingers and saw that the lead dancer Shui Ling'er was indeed outstanding in appearance and his eyes were lively.

Shui Ling'er seemed to feel Su Fei's gaze, and even threw a flirtatious look at Su Fei, with affection in his eyes.

Gao Feng noticed this scene and looked surprised.

"Young Master Su is really charming. This Shui Ling'er is a humble man. He only sells his art but not his body. He treats others with sincerity."

I watched it for a while.

The sound of the pipa behind the screen suddenly became louder, and the dancers' movements also sped up, with their sleeves flying like snowflakes, dazzling everyone.

In the end, the performance ended together, and the six women bowed in unison, drawing applause from the audience.

The dancers bowed and left, and before the applause in the cabin stopped, the Madam walked in with a smile and walked up to Su Fei.

"Gentleman Su is fine, look at how our Shui Ling'er dances. Are you satisfied with her dancing?"
