Da Li Temple - Chapter 20.1

Chapter 20.1
Wet Dream

Ping Kang Hall, with its red lights, wine, and passions, had never been Su Moyi’s favorite place. So when he stood at Ping Kang Hall entrance for half an hour, he didn’t move a step. That morning’s incident was a great shock to him, so much so that he thought it was unbelievable. Therefore, today, once off duty, he dismissed Ye Qing and came alone to this place of pleasure.
??
Since it was a pleasure, there must be a variety. In addition to the courtesans who sold their bodies and skills, there were male escorts here.
??
Sweet flavor filled the room, and hot tea loaded the table, with four porcelain bowls neatly lined up at the opposite. Behind the table, eight eyes were facing each other blankly. They had stayed in Ping Kang Hall for so long, yet this was the first time they encountered such a patron. Come to visit the brothel, but he didn’t listen to music, drink, or touch the beauty, not to spend the night, but —
??
Let them drink chilled lychee soup —
If they drink a bowl, he’ll give them ten silver taels.
??
Although they could not figure out what unique fetish this well-dressed, handsome man had, yet with ten silver taels, they still picked up the bowls one by one, buried their heads, and drank them carefully.
??
However, Lord Su, who was sitting on the opposite side of the table and was expressionless the entire time, became even more puzzled.
Not right.
There was no feeling.
Even though these men were using their best efforts to scratch their heads in front of him, eating the lychee soup in a flowery manner, he still couldn’t find that impulse toward Lin Wanqing in the daytime, where his reason wiped out and his body and thoughts were out of control.
??
“Enough!” Su Moyi coldly stopped those male escorts, threw down forty taels of silver, and left.

??*

The next morning was the day for Su Moyi to do the monthly check and clean up the cases on hand. The responsible chief would report those pending cases in the hands before he decides on the cases’ retention or dismissal.
??
Lin Wanqing was sandwiched between several Da Li Temple’s staff, appearing awkward. According to rank, she was the last one to enter. Inside the sandalwood-scented study room, the purple-robed Lord Su was sitting upright. He was holding the case file of the rape and murder case in his hand and looking at it in silence, his beautiful brows slightly knitted from time to time. Hearing Lin Wanqing’s footsteps, his straight shoulders and back became tense. Then, he deliberately ignored her.
??
Lin Wanqing knew that this person’s dog temper was eighty percent flaring up again. She pursed her lips, obediently rowed to one side, and sat down, only to wait for Lord Su to ask questions.
??
There were no words between the two for a while, leaving only the wind and heavy smoke.
??
“How long has Lin Recorder been in Da Li Temple?” The person behind the desk asked, his voice solemn and cold, not mixed with a trace of emotion.
??
Lin Wanqing knew whenever this person called himself ‘Lin Recorder’ solemnly, he was ready to make things difficult for her, so she could only reply weakly, “Half …… half a month… …”
??
The opposite side bared a laugh, closed the case file in his hand, and gazed at her, saying: “Why do I remember Lin Recorder is coming at the end of April? And now, it’s the middle of May.”
??
“Oh ……” Lin Wanqing responded, “Then, more than half a month ……”
??
Su Moyi sniffed, put down the case file in his hand, lightly knocked his knuckle twice, and asked: “Then what progress in the case of rape and murder that you’re responsible for?”
??
I knew he was going to say this! Lin Wanqing suddenly felt distressed. During this half month in Da Li Temple, she has experienced assassins, Song Residence’s erotic scene, and a stormy night with Su Moyi. She only had little time to do the investigation. She couldn’t enter the file room to access the records and had to go through Su Moyi’s consent. In addition, this dog official has been missing in action for three days!
??
Now he has the face to blame her?
Lin Wanqing was so angry that her ears were ringing. She took two deep breaths before barely calming down. She answered kindly: “This case was Capital Government Office’s case. It was a serious case and was difficult to solve. So, usually, we handle it in a group ……”
??
She secretly glanced at Su Moyi. Seeing his face was not ugly, she added: “Why don’t you give me some additional manpower?”
??
Su Moyi smiled coldly, “Still want assistance?”
??
Lin Wanqing nodded: “There is no need for much. One will do, transfer Liang Weiping from Capital Government Office over ……”
??
Before the words fell, the face of the person in front of her visibly sank. Lin Wanqing wisely closed her mouth, thinking that this dog official’s temper was getting stranger. However, at this moment, Lord Su, the dog official, was filled with the words ‘Liang Weiping.’ He unconsciously clenched his fists, and the case file under his hand twisted into a ball of scrap paper in his palm.
??
“Ya! What are you doing? Seeing her own heart and soul being destroyed, Lin Wanqing was so anxious that she jumped up directly from the chair, rushed to Su Moyi, and went to snatch the things in his hand.
??
Of course, Su Moyi did not give in. Seeing Lin Wanqing cherish these files, he suddenly up for revenge. He took the files, got up, and said, “Since you can’t find anything, Lin Recorder should quit this case.” After saying this, he raised his hand and was about to throw it out.
?
Lin Wanqing gritted her teeth and lunged over with a fierce jump. Her hand grabbed Su Moyi’s. Once her warm, soft palms and slightly cool fingertips touched him, it was like a switch. He froze slightly. Then, the soft hair that swept across his jaw came to his cheeks, drilling into the heart of his ear —
??
The anger in his chest warmed up in a flash, turning into a hot and humid spring, rampantly flowing all over his body. Su Moyi’s feet stumbled but still instinctively grasped the case file and did not let go. Lin Wanqing pressed her entire weight to him and then yanked toward the front!

Squeak-
