Chapter 16 Where to Sober Up
Fengchang City, the capital of a state and an important town in the world.
Because the Shifang Mountain remnants of the prefecture are located and are rich in rare stones, jade, and spiritual herbs, Fengchang has become a place for goods from the north and south. Accumulated over hundreds of generations, today's Fengchang City even if it is placed within the five prefectures of Fufeng Kingdom,
It is also a prosperous place.
The city is divided into four cities: the south of the city is for shops and markets, the north of the city is for dignitaries, the east of the city is for common people, and the west of the city is for fireworks, wine and tea.
Among them, the one that is most deep in the world of mortals is none other than Xicheng Tianjie.
A tributary of the Yuanshi River and a remnant of the Yurou River run through the entire west of the city, so many fireworks sites here are connected from east to west. One side of the facade opens on Tianjie, and the other side has a back door directly connected to the river.
If guests want to listen to music and drink, they can sit upstairs. If they want to enjoy the night view, they can also go out the back door and board the painted boat.
On this day, the second watch of the drum sounded, and we arrived at Xicheng Tianjie, the most prosperous time of the day.
Looking up, I saw that on one side there were thousands of lanterns, red sleeves, and incense carts filling the road with exquisite red flames; on the other side, the buildings faced the water, the lamp sheds were like walking shoes, and the painted boat filled with fireworks and smoke in the river. The last thing was a drunken and luxurious night, singing in the morning.
Dance.
At this moment, at the door of Yuxiang Pavilion, the best place on Tianjie Street, the Madam came to the door with a turtle slave, and three or four other disciples, embracing a young man in brocade clothes.
"Young Master Haihan, if the girl is ill today, please wait for me. One day, another day, I will ask her to offer wine in person to make amends..." As the old bustard said, the people behind him kept bending down and apologizing, with flattery on their lips.
The words never stop.
The young man was dressed in moon-white clothes, embroidered with silver threads. He looked back and smiled, but he didn't care. "It's easy to say that she is like a girl who is about to die. I'll see her again tomorrow."
As he spoke, he folded his fan and nodded his hands as a gift, then led a sturdy man to the entrance of Tianjie.
When the two of them walked away, the old bustard took a long breath, shouted and left quickly, taking the turtle slave back to the pavilion, leaving only a few people waiting outside the door.
Seeing that the madam had left, one of the disciples couldn't bear it any longer.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at how diligent Mr. Wu is, if the girl hasn't been taken down yet..."
Another disciple gave him a direct look. "Where are you? We are like girls, what is our worth? One of the two beauties in Yuxiang Pavilion, the name of two oirans in Xicheng Tianjie, how can he meet whenever he wants?
Visible?"
The former disciple shook his head and was speechless. "Where else? Mr. Wu ran for five days in a row. He was afraid that tens of thousands of taels of silver would be lost, so he just listened to a few songs and drank a few glasses of wine?"
"What else? You're new here, just look at it. The most indispensable thing on the street today is dignitaries and wealthy businessmen. To them, what is money? It's just bullshit!"
"Ah? Then Mr. Wu, isn't this all in vain..."
"Whether all this hard work is in vain depends on whether he has a strong foundation. If he stretches him for five or ten days, if he really has the capital, maybe Miss Ru will be able to fulfill his wish, hahaha..."
"..."
At the same time, it’s not just Yuxiang Pavilion’s gossipy disciples who are eyeing the young master in Jinyi.
In the dark alley at the entrance to Xicheng Tianjie, several eyes were firmly locked on the moon-white back.
I heard the leader whisper: "Is this the person?"
"Yes, that's him." A rather thin man next to him nodded and replied.
"Have you got the basics figured out?"
The man turned around and glanced. "Can I, Guan San'er, be wrong about where I stepped? This man's surname is Wu, from Chenzhou. His family has been in the medicine business for generations. He came to Fengchang City for this reason. He is most innocent.
."
"Humph, who do you care about San'er? He's a gambler!" The leading man snorted coldly, "I'll ask you a question, is this guy rich? Don't end up working in vain!"
"This man spends his days listening to music, and at night working with prostitutes in brothels. In just a few days, he probably lost tens of thousands of taels of silver. Do you think he's a good guy?" Guan San'er paused and continued.
: "Besides, for a wealthy man like him, before the 'Yuanhuang Festival', there wouldn't be someone in Fengchang City who said he was going on a study tour and seeing the world, instead of going to Xicheng to have a good time and drink.
, and when the two pieces of money in his pocket are all burned, he will go back home."
The leading man pondered for a moment, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he nodded his head. "Okay, it's him."
Guan San'er, who was next to him, looked happy, but then he followed up. "Boss Du, we have agreed that in the business of robbing wealth, don't hurt people's lives. I don't want to get involved in a life-threatening lawsuit!"
Boss Du spat directly. "What nonsense!"
After saying that, he shook his head and cast a look behind him, and with a few of his men, together with Guan San'er, sneaked into the night.
On the other side, Mr. Jinyi led the strong man out of Tianjie. After walking for a short time, he left the main road.
But just after entering an alley, after walking a few steps, I saw four figures flashing out from the end of the alley, blocking the way out, and walking slowly towards this side.
The two of them stopped for a moment and turned around to look. The same was true at the end of the alley.
When the strong man next to him saw this scene, his voice trembled slightly. "My lord, my lord, I'm afraid I've met a strong man who will rob me of evil!"
Before Mr. Jinyi could speak, someone at the end of the alley caught the conversation. "This brother's words are unpleasant, how can he be a tribulation?"
Boss Du and Guan Saner and others slowly walked out of the shadows. The moonlight was just right at this time, and the cold moonlight fell on several short knives, making them shine brightly.
"This young master has invited me. Let's make a long story short. My brothers are short of money, so why not ask for it from you..."
"No problem!"
Before Mr. Du could finish speaking, the young man in Jinyi said aloud, raised his right hand, and something seemed to fly over.
Boss Du secretly said something bad, thinking it was some kind of hidden weapon. He hurriedly ducked to the side and saw a black shadow passing in front of his eyes and hitting one of his subordinates behind him. The latter suddenly said "Ouch!"
Just when he was about to shout for everyone to rush forward, he heard the subordinate say something immediately.
"Boss, boss, it seems like it's a money bag?..."
"Ah, ah?"
Boss Du subconsciously agreed, and quickly came to his senses, thinking to himself, I haven't finished shouting yet, and your money bag has already been handed over?! This is so fast that it's a bit overwhelming...
Just when Mr. Du was thinking about what to say next, the young master in brocade turned to smile at the strong man beside him and said: "I invited you here from the dock just to see that you have a good figure.
, just pretending to be a facade, are you really prepared to fight them to the death? Listen to me, run away for your life."
"Ah, ah?" Just like that, the man also agreed first, but when he heard clearly, he was stunned.
To be precise, the entire alley, from the robber to the robbed, was stunned.
Several eyes fell on Mr. Jinyi, and they all had only one meaning - what is going on? Robbery Pandao, I have never encountered such an opening method...
