================================================================================================
Just after returning to Zhu Xi's mansion, Li Feng had not had time to find a stool to sit down, Dugu Sheng walked in with a few guards with a smile on his face. Dugu Sheng, with a rough and bold look on his face, stretched out his hand to Li Feng: "Brother Li, congratulations, congratulations. You really have to add a position of a thousand households. Compared to when I just surrendered to Your Highness, my position was even higher. This is really called a hero's youth."
Li Feng jumped up, held Dugu Sheng's hand and said, "Hey, I don't have much energy. When Eunuch Lu is not here, Manager Li asked a father-in-law named Ma to add my name to me, and I gave each of the father-in-law some money. Isn't this just a relationship? To be honest, it depends on Brother Dugu and all the brothers. I just took advantage of it and took advantage of it."
Little Lizi next to him kept nodding and said to himself: "This kid is still a little qualified, but now he doesn't have a swear word. It turns out that he has done something to speak to others and speak to ghosts. Well, he is young and promising. Maybe if he really becomes a father-in-law, his future will be even greater than that of Little Lizi." Lizi smiled strangely, sat on the chair next to him and took a sip.
Before Dugu Sheng could speak, Li Feng waved his hand and shouted: "Brother, why did I come here? I will be a little host tonight and invite you guys to have a good drink all night. I just don't know which girl is the best in Yanjing City?" Li Feng turned around and asked: "Supervisor Li, in Yanjing City, which girl is the most beautiful, and which girl is the most coquettish?"
Little Li Zi sprayed tea out of his nose, and his mouth was so angry that he trembled. He cursed in his heart: "Boy, I am a father-in-law. If you ask me where the girl is the most beautiful, I may know, after all, I have been to many places with my master. But if you ask me which girl is the most coquettish? How do I know which girl is the most coquettish when she takes off her clothes? You, didn't you deliberately make me ugly? I remember this account. You'll wait for my father-in-law. Sooner or later I'll settle the accounts with you." He put down the teacup heavily, with a gloomy face, and whispered: "Brother-in-law, I'll go and tell someone to arrange a place for you to live. Commander Dugu, this Deputy Commander Li, let's live with you? The place of the "Liuquan Jingshu" is very big, with more than a dozen rooms. It doesn't matter if you live in one more person?"
Dugu Sheng had a strange face, and he quickly bowed and said, "Supervisor, please leave. I was just about to make friends with Brother Li. It would be the best to live with me. The entire temple now only uses less than four houses, so I can have a place to live in. My servant can also be assigned to Brother Li, so I don't have to send more people. Just clean the room and it will be done."
Li Zi glanced at Li Feng, nodded, took a big step and rushed out of the side hall. After a while, a sudden burst of laughter broke out in the side hall. Dugu Sheng gestured to Li Feng with a thumb and said in a low voice: "Brother, Gao, really Gao... Do you ask Manager Li where is the most coquettish girl? I guess he has absolutely no way to answer it. Hehe, our highness also likes this. Ask him, he knows very well."
Another guard said loudly: "Hey, boss, it doesn't matter. Don't you ask your highness, which girl is the best and where the wine and food are the best. Don't we know very well? First, brush a pot of lamb, drink a few cups warmly, and then go to the 'Zuixianglou' to find a few red-card girls. We also welcome Deputy Leader Li." Several guards cheered loudly, looking as if there were ants crawling all over their bodies, and they could no longer sit still.
Li Feng hesitated for a while and asked, "But if the shopkeeper... Oh, it's Your Highness who is back and we are not here, this is not good, right? Especially the safety of this mansion, there must be someone responsible, right?" Li Feng was afraid. Although he wanted to go out for fun, he left the shift the first day he came, which sounded very ugly.
Dugu Sheng slapped his chest with a big bag and smiled and said, "It's okay, there are more than 300 guards in the mansion, and the 500 soldiers personally led by His Highness are stationed in the mansion. We only went out for more than 20 people, so why did we miss the matter? Especially in Yanjing City, nearly 100,000 soldiers were stationed inside and outside the city, just like iron walls. What's more, all the martial arts gangs have been ordered to be eradicated by the prince. At night, people with suspicious signs will be immediately arrested by the Iron Armored Army. How could something happen?"
He smiled and patted Li Feng's shoulder, leaned close to Li Feng's ear and whispered: "Especially, this highness, he doesn't need us to serve. Manager Li and others are responsible for everything. There are more than 200 eunuchs of all sizes in the mansion, and there are about 100 people with martial arts. Your Highness generally doesn't look for us, that is, we need to follow us when we go far away and fill in the store. On weekdays, we eat as long as we want to go out, drink as we want, and prostitute as we want to go out. In short, as long as we explain to the brothers on duty, if there is something wrong, we can find us within half an hour, then there is absolutely no problem."
Li Feng laughed and clapped and said, "Wasn't that so, our lives are very leisurely?"
Dugu Sheng thrust his stomach and shook his head and said, "Isn't it? Our life is very relaxing. Hey, as long as you go out for fun, don't conflict with the people in their Second Prince's mansion, otherwise everyone will definitely beat him up. Although he won't be killed, he will cause trouble and ruin his interest."
Li Feng nodded heavily, pulled out a stack of silver notes and waved it and shouted: "That's a wonderful relationship. Your Highness, you don't need to greet him. Then brothers, let's go out and have fun... Hey, Brother Dugu, look, except for the brothers on duty, let's call all the other brothers. Li Feng, I'll be a good host tonight, brothers have fun... Damn, let's see that we've done the girls from the "Zuixianglou" can't get up tomorrow."
Dugu Sheng and the others were already stunned when they saw the silver notes in Li Feng's hand. When they heard Li Feng's words, they couldn't help but scream loudly, applauding and shouting. Several good guys rushed out of the door and started making a loud noise: "Brothers, listen, today, the new Vice Commander Li is the host, and the brothers who are not on duty will go out and have a good time."
Immediately, the guards who had to take shifts that night called out a grievance. Li Feng was so sharp that he heard their complaints and immediately shouted at the outside: "Brother, I will do what I said. Brothers who can't go on shifts today, we will continue tomorrow night. It's brothers, and I'm ready, so let's have a good meal."
The entire mansion suddenly cheered, and the guards' enthusiasm suddenly became popular. A few rougher, or those with big fists and brainless guys were already beginning to praise Li Feng as a great good man, rich and rich, generous and hospitality, and heroic. He was simply the rebirth of Mengchangjun.
That night, the clouds in the sky were frozen tightly by a cold wind from the north, hanging in the air like a huge piece of granite. With the harsh whistling sound, large groups of snowflakes fell down almost vertically, hitting the roof and the ground rustled. In the cold wind that penetrated the bone marrow, Zhu Xi, who was covered in gloomy faces, walked back to the mansion alone, and his guards were thrown behind, and no one was allowed to approach him. Looking at his eyes of the silence and murderous mouth, I don’t know who was going to be unlucky.
Dugu Sheng, Li Feng and a group of people who were originally going out for a carnival, suddenly felt a sudden slap in their hearts when Zhu Xi came back. After thinking about it, they still stayed. After a while, they asked a little eunuch to inquire about the news. Only then did they know that after Zhu Xi had found a few girls to vent his anger, he poured a lot of liquor and fell asleep on the bed. It seemed that he would never get up until noon the next day.
After hearing this news, a group of people felt relieved. After taking leave from Li Zi, Dugu Sheng led the way. A group of more than 200 guards left the crown prince's mansion and walked towards the direction of the famous eight great alleys in Yanjing City. Dugu Sheng squirted a breath of heat, melted a ball of snowflakes blocking his face and said with a smile: "It's too late to rush to brush mutton now, so we just went to the 'Zuixiang Tower' to find a few proud girls, and then asked the big teapot inside to go out to clean the stove and mutton for us. Is this very interesting?"
Li Feng changed his brocade robe, imitated Dugu Sheng and others to hang his waist cards on his belt, looked at the iron armored soldiers riding horses on the street, and asked, "Oh, you naturally want to be happy. But I see that your highness is in a bad state today, and it seems that someone has given him a ugly look. Tonight, let's play, don't be able to play, and you can't get up tomorrow. If your highness wants to find someone but can't find it, it will be troublesome."
When Dugu Tian heard this, he nodded immediately: "No, brothers have heard it all. It's enough to control the alcohol content tonight. It's enough to have a little fun. Don't be blamed by your highness when you are drunk. I'm not responsible for pleading. However, Brother Li, don't make a fuss. As long as your highness meets the second highness, you won't feel good when you return to the mansion. How can you say this? Although the prince favors your highness, the second highness is a rare general, and the prince also favors him. It's hard to say about this matter."
Li Feng nodded slowly, and Dugu Sheng whispered: "I'll give you a clear idea too. The second highman relies on his many masters, and he likes to challenge and fight us on a few days. He deliberately put his face on his highman, making the prince feel that our master is not as capable as him. Moreover, the second highman is also talking in front of the prince, which makes our nobles unable to say something sometimes, which makes the second highman take advantage of the prince, so he is in a bad mood."
Li Feng grabbed a falling snowflake and said with a smirk: "Then, let me leave the matter of helping your highness in the future. Isn't it very much that your Highness is so good today, and he can't do anything to me? Hehe, Brother Dugu, I'll just say why don't you recruit some good players in the world? It won't be too late to be pressed by Murong Tian and not be able to make a comeback. There are so many masters in the world who run single gangs in the world, and as long as they give them money, everyone will be happy to come in."
Dugu Sheng smiled bitterly: "Brother, you don't understand. Inviting masters requires money or giving them good official positions. But Your Highness does not have much power now. It is okay to recommend one or two people, but it will not work if there are too many people. Do you want to talk about money? The annual salary of the imperial official in the Ming Dynasty is only more than one hundred taels of silver. How much does our Highness spend from the prince every year? It takes at least ten thousand taels of dollars to hire a master in the martial arts world? Otherwise, how can those old men have money to spend?"
Dugu Sheng lowered his voice carefully: "The Second Highness has a army of sixteen guards. A small amount of money is enough for him to recruit the despair. Then he will make up for those guys in the army, and they all become generals under the King of Yan. Are they still unfaithful to work hard? So, if we talk about force, our mansion is really not as good as the Second Highness's mansion."
Li Feng whispered in his throat, and he suspected in his heart: "A court-ordered official, whose annual salary is converted into only more than 100 taels of silver? No wonder the Tailor of Suzhou Prefecture sent people to ask for money. Yes, what is their salary of 3,000 stones or 5,000 stones, but how much is a stone of grain now? Be good, isn't this forcing all the officials of the Ming Dynasty to embezzle and accept bribes? No wonder he heard that the son-in-law of the current emperor smuggled tea and private salt, and was skinned and hung on the gate of Yingtian Prefecture (Nanjing)."
Li Feng's head was filled with a few thoughts and he had an idea. He thought to himself: "Since he has decided to lean on Zhu Xi to take over, then, let me show some skills. Dugu said that the gangs in the city have been swept away, so let Zhu Xi come forward and organize a gang. Wouldn't it be nice? The minks in the northeast, ginseng and medicinal materials, private salt in the south, tea and various treasures, and the north and south transportation, wouldn't the money flow in? At that time, wouldn't it be ten thousand taels of silver a year? We can recruit hundreds of top masters, so we don't have to take action by ourselves."
Just as they were planning here, the martial arts practitioners were fast walking and had already arrived in a deep alley. Dugu Sheng rushed over and ran five or six consecutive feet towards a closed door. His foot strength was strong, and he almost kicked the door from the wall. An anxious shout came from the door: "Ah, here, here, here, which old man is here? Slowly, slow down, my uncle, the door is almost kicked down by you."
Li Feng thought: "There are so many bad rules in Yanjing. Are brothels doing business with their doors closed? There are few people in the air. It feels like the King of Yan is not very fond of the Fengyue business."
The door was open, and a madam walked out with several large teapots. Dugu Sheng smiled and grabbed the madam, gnawed her on the face, and shouted with a loud laugh: "Hahaha, Qingqing, today the new deputy commander in our mansion is the host. Please come and have fun. Ah, there are 265 brothers in total. Look, how do you entertain us?"
The madam's face was bitter and pretty, and she kept a trace of youthful face and wrinkled together. She waved the scarf in her hand and shouted loudly: "Oh my uncle Dugu, aren't you kidding me? Two hundred and sixty-five brothers? There are only more than 300 girls here in total. You have to choose the fat ones, hold one in your arms, and a drinker standing beside her. There are guests in front of you. How can you play with me?"
Li Feng walked up slowly and slowly touched his arms for a while. In Dugu Sheng and his friends' shocked eyes, he simply threw out a ruby the size of a magpie egg and took two silver notes of one thousand taels away. Li Feng held his hands behind his back and looked arrogant: "The girls in your yard are gone, so go to another yard to adjust. How much of their income in the past night, I will give them double the price, and I will give them double the price. This is no problem?"
The madam looked at the flashing ruby in her hand, and her saliva dripped. She screamed: "No problem, absolutely no problem. Damn bastards, you dead people, why don't you wait for the distinguished guests? Tell your mother's daughters that if they dare to make the guests unhappy, go back and slap them in the soles of my boss. Uncle Dugu, and this young master, brothers, please invite inside, please invite inside, it's cold outside, don't ruin everyone's interest. Oh, it's frozen, what should I do?"
The madam hurriedly, excitedly ran out with several large teapots, while the other turtle slaves and a few branches were shining. The old woman who had passed away was extremely attentively surrounded by Li Feng and Dugu Sheng, and welcomed them into the "Zuixiang Tower".
Dugu Sheng looked at a chance that the turtle slave and those girls were not paying attention and asked Li Feng in a low voice: "Brother, where did you get so much money? It's just silver notes, that gem is not something that ordinary people can have. The price on the market is amazing?"
Li Feng leaned steadily on the Taishi chair, and a sound like a gossip rushed into Dugu Sheng's ears: "Well, brother, before I was with Your Highness, I was the deputy leader of a martial arts gang in the southeastern world. It would be easy to get some water. Oh, we went to the northwest to exchange for war horses to sell to the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty. That would be an income of hundreds of thousands of silver. This silver was easy to come."
