A group of brothel girls walked in from outside, complaining to each other about their experiences as they walked.

However, when they saw Liu Yongming sitting in the hall, they were all shocked.

Liu Yongming was looking at them with his head sideways, with endless murderous intent in his eyes.

The girls' mouths that had been chattering immediately shut up, and everyone stood aside honestly.

Twenty or thirty girls stood together with their heads lowered and without saying a word.

Liu Yongming saw that the girls had calmed down and said to Luo Rengui: "So what you have to do now is to monopolize the supply of several large commodities to me! Those who make tea, if you gather them together, you can only gather them under our teeth.

Trade in the industry!”

Luo Rengui: "The tea merchants are easy to deal with. Without our dental shops to help sell goods, their tea leaves will have to be hoarded and moldy. We can have the final say on the price of the tea leaves. But those who open the weaving mills are not easy to deal with. Because silk

There is no shortage of customers at all. If they don’t sell to us, they can sell it to others! So Mr. Liu, I should leave the weaving workshop to me! I will keep the price down so that those silk and satin merchants will not be able to make a profit.

Without squeezing them to death, it will be difficult to monopolize silk!"

Liu Yongming smiled and said: "I knew you were going to complain! It's not that I don't want to leave it to you, but I have other arrangements in mind!"

After Liu Yongming finished speaking, he looked around at the girls.

Luo Rengui also noticed something was wrong, and he suddenly asked: "Why don't you see Miss Yao?"

One of the girls responded: "Miss Yao hasn't come back, and is still being held captive by the Forbidden Army."

Ye Changqing responded: "Sure enough, I didn't let Miss Yao come back. Everything was within Master Liu's plan."

Liu Yongming said: "Yao'er is smart and smart. We don't have to worry about her. Let's deal with the matter at hand first."

Ye Changqing nodded and stopped talking about this topic.

Liu Yongming asked the girls again: "When you were imprisoned in the Forbidden Army, did anyone ask you about the whereabouts of Doctor Xue?"

Those girls didn't dare to lie, so they all nodded.

Liu Yongming asked again: "Who among you received that Divine Doctor Xue?"

The girls lowered their heads. Luo Rengui didn't know what happened and couldn't say anything.

At this time, a girl walked out of the crowd, knelt down on the ground fearfully, and said, "It's the doctor I stayed with for the night."

Liu Yongming nodded and said, "You're fine! At least you didn't mention it in front of others."

The girl responded: "Miss Yao said that Master Six must have had rules when he opened the Hongxing Tower. He was not allowed to talk about the guests to outsiders, whether they were other guests or officials."

Liu Yongming nodded and asked, "What's going on with Divine Doctor Xue?"

The girl immediately responded: "Back to Master Liu, when Divine Doctor Xue came, it was actually Miss Yao who received her. Later, Miss Yao arranged Divine Doctor Xue in the slave's room and asked the slave to receive him. Divine Doctor Xue stayed in the slave's room.

After two days, Miss Yao arranged for her to leave through the secret passage. It was only later that the imperial army came to seal it."

Liu Yongming said: "Yao'er is in charge of your intelligence input. Before the Imperial Army came, I also got the news first. But I didn't tell her. She didn't know that the Imperial Army was coming. She didn't hide anyone but she hid Doctor Xue, and she

How do you know that the imperial army is coming for Divine Doctor Xue?"

No one answered Liu Yongming’s question.

Ye Changqing said: "Does Miss Yao know something that she hasn't told you? Otherwise... Mr. Liu, you also have connections in the Forbidden Army. It won't be difficult to meet Miss Yao, right?"

The girl stole a glance at Liu Yongming, hesitated, and then said: "It probably has nothing to do with the Forbidden Army, maybe... maybe because of the pregnancy."

"Pregnant?" Liu Yongming asked quickly: "Who is pregnant? Yao'er? Impossible, right?"

Only then did the girl say: "It's because I didn't get pregnant, that's why I got Doctor Xue..."

Liu Yongming became more and more puzzled and asked again: "What is this all about? Please speak clearly!"

The girl explained: "When the doctor surnamed Xue came here, he said he wanted to entertain guests at Hongxing Tower and asked Miss Yao to accompany him. Miss Yao originally refused. After all, she had not received guests for a long time and only served you, Mr. Six. But

The doctor didn't even need to check their pulses, he could tell the girls' illnesses just by looking at their faces, and even looked at the minor illnesses of two or three girls. Miss Yao thought it was very magical, so she agreed to take care of him."

Seeing that Liu Yongming didn't interrupt, the girl hesitated for a moment and then said: "Miss Yao then asked...about her pregnancy. She said that Miss Yao had slept with the man...that is, Master Liu, many times, but she never

Pregnant..."

Liu Yongming was so angry that he vomited: "Isn't this nonsense? On weekdays, I hug Yao'er, kiss and nibble on her, and even stay in Yao'er's room, but that's just for others to see.

, let others think that I am just a lustful person, how can I really touch Yao'er. Yao'er is still a virgin, how can she be pregnant!"

Ye Changqing smiled and said: "Xiaosheng often deals with Miss Yao because of accounts. She is smart and talented. Although she is the most famous actress in Chang'an, she is also the shopkeeper of Hongxing Tower. Even the shopkeeper should have the skills to govern. If not,

With such majesty, it is natural that he cannot control so many people. So...that the girls never dare to talk about obscene things in front of Yao girls. Yao girls can discern the details, explore other people's privacy, and have a clear understanding of the relationship between men and women.

But things are very unclear.”

Liu Yongming felt helpless: "Okay, okay. Who is that? Tell me about Doctor Xue!"

The girl responded: "Then Divine Doctor Xue didn't know that Miss Yao was still a virgin, so he couldn't judge Miss Yao's condition by looking at her color or feeling her pulse. Divine Doctor Xue said... that it was the man's problem."

"What?" Liu Yongming jumped up from his seat and said angrily: "If he has a wife, I will definitely let his wife get pregnant! People named Xue, don't let me find you!"

Luo Rengui quickly grabbed Liu Yongming: "Sixth Master! Sixth Master! Don't be angry! Don't be angry!"

Liu Yongming slowly sat down.

The girl continued: "Miss Yao described your situation to Doctor Xue. Doctor Xue was puzzled. And the person he was waiting for didn't come, so Miss Yao wanted to leave Doctor Xue to live in the Hongxing Tower.

One night, it was naturally impossible for Miss Yao to let Divine Doctor Xue stay in her room overnight, so she arranged for a slave to serve Divine Doctor Xue. Divine Doctor Xue did not like women, and did not know how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the slave did not know how to serve him. In the end, he

Drive the slave out of the room."

Liu Yongming asked anxiously: "Why did he leave the secret passage again later?"

The girl responded: "Didn't you come to Hongxinglou that morning..."

Liu Yongming did go to Hongxing Tower on the morning of the Lantern Festival. At that time, Miss Jueyao asked Liu Yongming for leave, saying that she was too busy during the Lantern Festival and might not be able to attend the meeting.

The girl continued: "Miss Yao was afraid that you would bump into Doctor Xue and ask questions, and that you would know about her infertility, so she asked me to lie and claim that the yamen servant of the Army and Horses Division was asking for bribes and inspecting strangers to embarrass guests.

Followed by Divine Doctor Xue to leave through the secret passage. When Divine Doctor Xue heard that a Yamen servant was coming, he cooperated very well and left."

"Did this co-authoring thing happen because of me?" Liu Yongming was angry, and then asked the girl, "Do you know where Doctor Xue went after that?"

The girl shook her head: "After leaving the secret passage, I entered the street and disappeared."

Liu Yongming felt helpless and said to the girls: "You are very good. You were able to keep the secret from the spy chief Song Xian and did not tell the secret of Hongxing Tower. I am very happy. It shows that Yao'er has trained you well!

Anyway, we have been closed for several days, and we don’t care if we stay closed for a few more days, Mr. Ye.”

"What are your orders from Mr. Six?" Ye Changqing responded.

Liu Yongming said: "It doesn't matter if it's a busy season or not, let the girls take three days off and take them to Shopkeeper Yang. Each of them will pick out a piece of gold jewelry. Each piece of gold jewelry should not be lighter than one tael. Let's calm down their shock. Yao

The girl has stopped accepting guests a long time ago. Hongxing Tower cannot do without an oiran who can accept guests. Let the girl who received Divine Doctor

If you don't want to accept guests, you don't have to accept them. With her ability to keep secrets, I will support her for the rest of her life. If she wants to get married, I will give her a dowry of one thousand taels to ensure that she has no worries for the rest of her life."

Ye Changqing responded, and the girls also bowed down and thanked him.

"Okay, everyone, please step aside."

The girls then left again and went back to their respective rooms.

The nursing staff also returned to their posts, and only Liu Yongming, Luo Rengui, and Ye Changqing were left in the hall.

Liu Yongming turned to Luo Rengui and said, "Shopkeeper Luo, what do you think of my arrangement?"

Luo Rengui said with a smile: "Only Mr. Liu would be so kind to these young girls. Such a big thing happened, even the imperial army was alerted. If I were to, regardless of whether they were wrong or not, I would give each of them ten lashes before talking.

.Save a big mess later.”

Liu Yongming asked again: "Master, am I right or wrong to be so tolerant to my subordinates?"

Luo Rengui said with a smile: "Master Liu is always thorough in his work, there is nothing wrong with him."

"If you are too tolerant, you will inevitably lose your prestige in front of your subordinates. If you don't have prestige, you will regard me as nothing, and your secret will be spread everywhere. If you don't keep it secret, you will lose your ministers, and if your ministers don't keep it secret, you will lose your virginity. If I don't succeed, I will be punished."

It will never be restored."

Luo Rengui was stunned. He knew there was something in Liu Yongming's words, but he didn't understand what Liu Yongming was referring to.

Liu Yongming turned to Ye Changqing and asked: "Is the dead wood dragon's chant that I brought back ready to tune?"

Ye Changqing didn't know why Liu Yongming suddenly mentioned the dragon's chant of dead wood, so he had to respond: "The luthier at Hongxing Tower said that although he had corrected the tune, the guqin was getting older and he had to find a craftsman to repair it. He couldn't do it himself.

How dare you touch something so valuable."

Liu Yongming sighed: "After all, it is one of the top ten famous harps. When I saw that harp, I knew that it would have to be rebuilt, but I really didn't want to destroy its antique beauty. Now it seems that if I think about it,
