The three brothers of the Cheng family are powerful in Chang'an. Someone in the crowd recognized Cheng Chuliang's identity. Seeing that Cheng Chuliang actually defended the person who wanted to redeem everyone, it was obvious that this person's identity was not simple. Being able to enter the house of someone whose identity was not simple, at least he was safe and secure.

I felt happy.

The woman who had just asked the question quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm a slave..."

Qin Huaidao interrupted directly: "Don't be afraid, this is a two-way choice. I choose you, and you choose me. It's understandable that you want to know my identity. My name is Qin Li!"

When the other party heard the name, he suddenly thought of the most popular person recently. He was of the same age and could be protected by a top noble like Cheng Chuliang. His face changed drastically and he shouted: "Are you... the Protector of the Country?"

"Nonsense, you still have some eyesight." Cheng Chu cursed silently.

Cheng Chumo is more famous in Fengyue Field. Almost everyone knows the girl from Wanhualou. With Cheng Chumo as a witness, there is no doubt about his identity. Donger and others were immediately overjoyed. Being able to enter the Protector's Mansion was a blessing that they had cultivated for several lifetimes.

Salute: "I have met the Protector."

"No gifts, let's sing first."

Everyone cheered up, and their original attitude of giving it a try disappeared. At this moment, they wished they could show off their best selves, win favor, jump out of the fire pit of Wanhua Tower, and each of them took turns singing a few lines, with some deep and deep voices,

Either high-pitched and loud, or full of energy, the singing skills are all very good.

This kind of voice is definitely not suitable for singing sad and melancholy tunes. No one wants to listen to it, but it is suitable for singing bold, rough and passionate tunes, especially military songs. It is exactly the voice I am looking for. I am immediately overjoyed and let someone who is proficient in musical instruments

People also come to learn a small part of what they are good at.

I have to say that the girls trained by Wanhualou are still very good. These people have been playing musical instruments since childhood and have been playing musical instruments for more than 20 years now. Their level is quite high.

During the performance, the madam came in hurriedly, with a nervous look on his face. He shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Who let you in? I've disturbed the distinguished guests. Even beating you to death is not enough. Get out quickly."

Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Qin Huaidao frowned: "I let them in. Is there a problem?"

"That's no problem, please use it with caution," the madam said with a smile.

"You're here just in time. I've taken a liking to these guys and want to redeem them. Please give me a price."

"this?"

The madam's eyes were spinning wildly. Who would redeem the lives of a group of eliminated, old and lustful people? It was simply unheard of. Is it possible that there is still value in these people? I would not dare to refuse, and it would be impossible to do so. A group of women who no one wants are left here.

It's also a waste of food, so it's better to sell it and take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

Qin Huaidao could see through the other person's thoughts, but he didn't want to lower the price, so as not to leave a bad impression on Dong'er and others. Who wants to be bargained for like goods? He gave Cheng Chumo a look.

Cheng Chumo nodded knowingly, patted the table, and urged impatiently: "Think it over before you make an offer. If you dare to talk nonsense, I will demolish your Wanhua Building. Hurry up and don't wait."

"This..." The old bustard hesitated for a moment, then said bravely: "The nobles want to redeem the girls, which is the blessing they have cultivated for several lifetimes. I hope they have a good home, so naturally I will not object, but Wanhua

Lou raised them from childhood and found someone to train them, which cost a lot. This ransom is..."

"Want to ask for an outrageous price? Okay, I'll bring some Qianniu Guards over later and come to your Wanhua Building every day." Yuchi Baolin threatened impatiently.

If Qianniuwei were to visit the door every day, he would not be able to do this business. After all, most of the people who come to Wanhualou are wealthy businessmen entertaining officials. Officials have too many taboos. Who wants to be seen visiting Wanhualou? Qianniuwei

But it can reach the ears of the Holy One.

The face of the old bustard changed greatly, and he quickly said with an apologetic smile: "You are joking, how dare you ask for an exorbitant price? It would be good if you can recover some costs, and I don't dare to delay the future of the girls. Let's do this, one thousand guan per person."

"Isn't this a sky-high asking price? Okay, let's redeem it too, and I'll bring someone over right away." Yuchi Baolin was furious, got up and was about to leave.

Cheng Chumo was also angry, stood up and scolded: "I'll give you another chance to make an offer, how much will it be?"

"Think about it before we talk." Yuchi Baolin threatened, stopping.

"this……"

The old bustard said with the mentality of asking for more if he could, "Otherwise... if I take less than two hundred guan, or 800 guan each, my boss will kill me."

"Who is the boss?" Cheng Chumo asked.

"This...is against the rules." The madam smiled bitterly.

"Okay, don't say yes. I'll investigate it myself. Brother, go and bring the people from our Supervisory Office and surround this place. I now suspect that there is a traitor here." Cheng Chumo said angrily and looked at Yuchi Baolin.

The madam was so frightened that her face changed, and she said with a cry: "These nobles and gentlemen are really indispensable. If my boss knew the price, I would not be able to survive today. Please do your best and don't embarrass me. I beg you."

"

"How dare an old and lustful woman open 800 yuan? Are you crazy about money? OK, just wait." Yuchi Baolin was furious, opened the door and wanted to go out.

The old bustard was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot. The Supervisory Office was already so famous that even the Cui family dared to inspect it. He was a fool. He quickly begged for mercy: "No, wait a minute, wait a minute, five hundred guans each, okay?"

Yuchi Baolin shouted angrily: "I don't want to give you a penny now. I just want to seal this place. Tell me who your boss is. When the seal is sealed, your boss will jump out. Don't try to deceive."

"This..." The madam was so frightened that she was confused and her eyes turned around.

Qin Huaidao signaled Yuchi Baolin not to move, and said coldly: "Just five hundred, and send them to the Protector's Mansion immediately. If you dare to neglect them, you really don't need to open Wanhua Tower."

When the old bustard heard that the Protector's face changed drastically, thinking that the recently unparalleled Protector was a young man, his heart trembled, and he asked tentatively: "Is your noble... the Protector?"

"You don't need to know too much, just go ahead and do it." Qin Huaidao said coldly.

"The Duke Protector's Palace wants someone, but I will never ask for money. I will give it away for nothing," the old bustard said quickly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and arrange a carriage to send the person there secretly. You can pay as much as you agreed. You won't be short of a penny." Qin Huaidao shouted, and the aura of a superior erupted.

The madam felt bitter in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything and made arrangements in a hurry.

"Thank you, Master." Dong'er and others saluted excitedly, even changing their titles. Thinking that from now on they would be members of the Protector's Mansion, their lives would be guaranteed, and they were so excited that they wished they could fly there right away.

"You guys should go clean it up too."

"Here!" Everyone saluted again and turned to leave.

The eyes of the top escorts were filled with envy. Thinking that they were still suffering in the pit of fire, not knowing when Ma Yue would be the leader, their hearts were miserable. Meier looked at Qin Huaidao and hesitated to speak. Some couldn't help but said: "Duke Protector of the Country,

Can you ransom me too? I can also sing, dance, and play the piano. By the way, I still have some money, and I am willing to use it as a ransom, even if it means becoming a maid in the house."

"You are in the spotlight, but I'm afraid the madam won't agree to redeem yourself."

Everyone also knew this. It was the age of the money tree. Of course Wanhualou would not let go. Their faces darkened and they all lowered their heads. Qin Huaidao had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions. Thinking that the barbecue bar needed waiters, he couldn't find a bunch of waiters.

Are you a man? Although the atmosphere in this era is open, no one is willing to let their daughter work in public as a waiter, and she can't do it. On the contrary, people who have romantic occasions have no taboos, they are all smart, and they are good at observing words and expressions, so they are the most suitable.

Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao added: "The house needs people to do the menial work of carrying dishes and pouring tea. Anyone who is interested can contact the house directly. As long as the ransom is not too high, it will be fine. It's getting late, brothers.

, come back." He said and walked outside.

It’s great to find a band while having a drink!

At this time, a woman shouted: "When I save enough money, I will redeem myself. As long as I can enter the house, will the house still want it?"

"Welcome at any time." Qin Huaidao promised.

One of the maids in the elegant room also took up the courage to ask: "My lord, do we maids want it?" If there is a chance to jump out of the big fire pit of Wanhua Tower, no one wants to miss the opportunity.

Qin Huaidao had an idea, stopped and looked at the maid who had gathered her courage, and said with a smile: "You have received good training and are good at serving people. Of course, how much is your ransom?"

Waitresses are professionals, and it is best to be a waiter.

When the other party received a positive reply, he was overjoyed and said quickly: "We are just a group of people who are manipulated by others. We are not good-looking, illiterate, and stupid. We can only do menial jobs. One hundred guans should be enough."

"It actually costs a hundred guan. It's too expensive. Ten guan is enough to buy a slave girl from Yaxing." Cheng Chumo reminded, not wanting Qin Huaidao to waste his money.

"Brother Cheng, we need fifty maids like her, with better looks, can we handle it?" Qin Huaidao didn't explain much, just left the matter to Cheng Chumo, returned to the private room and sat down again.

"No problem, I promise to get it done." Cheng Chumo had doubts in his heart, but seeing that Qin Huaidao had made a decision, he didn't try to persuade him and he patted his chest and agreed.

Everyone looked at Qin Huaidao with curiosity, but hesitated to speak.

Qin Huaidao thought for a while and realized that sooner or later this matter would have to be kept secret. He refused to let it be said openly so as not to create a rift between the brothers. He said truthfully: "I am going to open a restaurant. You go back and talk to your family. If you want to invest, you can invest a little."

I promise to make money, and if I lose money, I will compensate you.”

Cheng Chumo suddenly became interested and asked: "There is no guarantee of profit in business. You should share the risks. Let's talk to the old man about this when we get back. How much will it cost?"

"The total investment is calculated as 100,000 guan. If you want to invest, the total investment cannot exceed 10,000 guan."

"Ah, what kind of charter is this?" Cheng Chumo asked curiously.

Others were also surprised. Others wanted to make more points, so why did they limit the amount of investment?

Qin Huaidao only let the two invest for the sake of friendship, and gave them a chance to make money without explaining too much.

Everyone saw that Qin Huaidao did not explain, and it was not easy to ask questions. At this time, the old madam came in with a bunch of prostitution deeds in his hand. Cheng Chumo took it and handed it to Qin Huaidao. He said straight to the point: "Your maid here needs to be fifty-year-old Zhou Zheng."

Yes, send it to the Protector's Mansion as well and let's give you a price."

"ah……"

The old madam was a little confused. Wanhualou is a place for drinking and romance, not a shop for businessmen. The previous ones have been prosperous before, and you can listen to music when you buy them back. What's the point of buying a maid? It costs fifty as soon as you open the door.

, but I couldn’t afford to offend him, so I had to apologize and asked with a smile: "My lord, what is this..."

"What is this...there? If you can't decide, let your boss come and negotiate in person. I don't have time to argue with you. Hurry up, how much money?" Cheng Chu asked silently.

"The Protector's Palace wants people, so naturally they can't ask for random prices. The business rules are one hundred taels, so just give them fifty taels." The old bustard quickly agreed. The maid is simple. You can buy some from the dental shop, train for a period of time, and then you can work and sell them.

It’s not a big problem, unlike the top players who have to train from an early age, which costs a lot of money.

When Cheng Chumo heard the price, he became angry, glared and threatened: "A female slave is ten guan. I will earn you ten guan, twenty guan each. If you don't agree, I will lead the army."

Seeing how much the old bustard can still make some money, it's not too bad. If he really brings troops to surround him for a few days, the losses will be huge. The key point is that the owner knows that if he provokes the Protector for such a trivial matter, he will be killed. Although he is unwilling to do so, he still
To be continued...
