Chapter 9 The Bright Red Building (1)
If it was inconvenient for officials of the Hongwu Celestial Dynasty to bring their families with them due to various reasons when they took office, it was normal for them to take in a concubine or raise an outdoor room and take care of their own daily life locally.
There were brothels all over the Hongwu Empire, whether they were government-run or private. The brothel courtesans were all well-known local women, and it was normal for them to have incidents with local officials.
Yanhonglou is obviously an exception. It is not simply a brothel, but a sect.
A sect that belongs to the "miserable people" in the world.
Most of the women here come from Tianxia brothel. After entering Yanhonglou, you can choose to practice. If you don't have the qualifications to practice, you can continue to engage in your previous profession.
It's just that in Yanhong Tower, women will not be forced to do anything because of the power of the guests. Here it is completely voluntary. And the biggest expense in the building is to purchase training resources for the disciples in the building.
When you get old, you will naturally be taken care of by the people in the building.
If something goes wrong, the monk in the building will come out to help you solve it.
Bai Laoqi happened to be the "Xianxingyuan" who died in Yanhonglou. The owner of Xianxingyuan was named "Xianxian". He had no cultivation qualifications, but he was the number one in the entire Yanhonglou.
The most famous girls in Yanhonglou have their own separate courtyards.
Song Zheng led people to Yanhong Tower. Yan Feiliu and others wanted to say something on the way, but they thought of the situation in front of Bangong's house and wisely swallowed their words. They just reminded Song Zheng: "Sir, Yanhong
I'm afraid Lou won't give in easily."
When Song Zheng arrived in front of Yanhonglou, he understood what Yan Feiliu meant.
Thousands of majestic leopards and guards have died here, but Yanhong Tower is still open for business with feasting and feasting. Although it is still daytime and not as crowded with guests as at night, it still looks "thriving".
Song Zheng's face darkened. Since he wanted to make the entire city of Huzhou feel that he was young and vigorous and could not hold his breath, he would put on a whole show.
"What's going on?" He asked grimly, "Why don't you close the door?"
Yan Feiliu hesitated and couldn't answer, and a clear voice said coldly: "Why should we seal the door? Do you really think that you Long Yiwei can cover the sky with one hand?"
Several women walked out of the main entrance of the building. The leader was about forty years old. Her beauty was old and her charm was still there. But her face was frosty. She looked at Song Zheng unceremoniously: "When Mr. Bai was here, he sympathized with us poor people.
You woman, you take so much care of us; how come you have to bully us poor people when you get it?"
Song Zheng was also unceremonious: "Since I know how much Master Bai took care of you, I should repay the kindness. Master Bai died in your Yanhong Building. This is a murder scene and the door should be closed!"
"Of course we have closed that dangerous place, but we still have business in Yanhonglou." The beautiful middle-aged woman refused to give in.
Yan Feiliu came forward and quietly said to Song Zheng: "Sir, if the entire Yanhong Tower is really sealed, Master Bai's matter will no longer be hidden. If it is reported back to the capital..."
This reason was barely acceptable, and Song Zheng was not an unreasonable person. He looked at the beautiful middle-aged woman and said, "Take me to the Xianxing Courtyard to have a look."
"Huh!" The beautiful middle-aged woman snorted, turned and walked to one side, and came to the side door of a small alley.
"You, a group of wolf-like Long Yi Guards, are going to scare the guests away from coming if you enter through the main entrance. Enter through this way, it is closer to the Xianxing Courtyard."
Song Zheng frowned secretly. Bai Laoqi took great care of Yan Honglou, and after his death, Yan Feiliu and others obviously did not make things difficult for Yan Honglou. So others can say this about Long Yiwei, but you, Yan Honglou, are a bit ungrateful for saying so.
.
After passing through a pebble path shaded by pines and bamboos, Song Zheng was brought to the entrance of an elegant courtyard. But when he arrived here, Song Zheng was really angry. At the scene of Bai Laoqi's death, there was no Longyi Guard guarding him, but only a white-clothed man. The young man sat at the door holding a sword.
"Yan Feiliu!" He spoke solemnly. Yan Feiliu and the other five people all trembled and knelt in front of him: "My lord, please forgive me for our incompetence!"
There was a deep chill in Song Zheng's tone: "Are you the Emperor's Long Yi Guards, or are you the slaves of Yanhong Mansion?"
The five people were stunned and kowtowed: "Sir, spare my life!"
The crime was proven, but he was about to lose his head. Apparently, Song Zheng's improper handling of Yanhonglou made Song Zheng really want to kill him.
Song Zheng had a sullen face and had not yet spoken, but the young man in white clothes beside him spoke lazily: "Why are you blaming them? What are you trying to do with official power? Since I can sit here, I am sure that no one can hide it from me. My eyes slipped in. It was also because I was sitting here that they felt confident not to send anyone to guard me."
The middle-aged beautiful woman also snorted and said: "What's the point of bullying the subordinates? This is the Yanhong Tower. If a group of Longyi guards are here, nothing can be hidden. This is all for Master Bai."
Song Zheng glanced coldly at the young man in white, and when she spoke, Song Zheng realized that it was a woman disguised as a man.
It's just that her handsome appearance is more androgynous. After putting on men's clothes, Song Zheng didn't notice any flaws at a casual glance.
"Are you confident?" Song Zheng said lightly.
The woman in white caressed the sword in her arms: "Naturally."
Song Zheng turned around and asked Yan Feiliu: "Who is she?"
"Miss Zeng Xiaoxiao is the number one genius among our female cultivators in Huzhou. She is known as the Jade Girl Swordsman and the Immortal of the Heavenly Race. She is only eighteen years old and has already reached the early stage of Mingjian Realm. With her here guarding her, she will not arouse any suspicion or be exposed. We are relieved that someone broke in." Yan Feiliu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Moreover, the last time Mr. Xiao came to Huzhou, he stayed in Yanhong Building, and it is said that he was very satisfied with this place."
Song Zheng understood. No wonder Bai Laoqi likes to stay here. No wonder the middle-aged beautiful woman and Zeng Xiaoxiao in white have a arrogant attitude. They think they have a backer.
He just didn't expect that Xiao Zhen, a guy who looked "concerned about the country and the people, and endured humiliation and humiliation", would actually like this tune?
He looked at the middle-aged beautiful woman, and then at Zeng Xiaoxiao. The middle-aged beautiful woman was dressed in a prostitute, and Zeng Xiaoxiao's face was neutral. He secretly compared it with Zhao Xiao, Pan Feiyi, and Miao Yun'er, and couldn't help but curl his lips: Lao Xiao What taste.
When the middle-aged beautiful woman and Zeng Xiaoxiao saw Song Zheng being silent for a while, they thought that Xiao Zhen's reputation frightened him, so they couldn't help but sneer on their faces: You just bullied someone above you, now you are being bullied by someone else.
Song Zheng said calmly: "Who was responsible for letting Zeng Xiaoxiao block the door and not sending anyone to guard the place where the murder was committed?"
Yan Feiliu's body trembled, knowing that he could not escape this disaster. He felt angry because he didn't feel that what he did was wrong! He was doing everything for the sake of Shangguan, so why should he take the blame?
At this moment, Laoxue wanted to rebel against his mother! But a powerful pressure shrouded him, and his whole body went cold for an instant, and the image of Song Zheng killing the monster with one sword involuntarily appeared in his mind.
Impulse is death.
He kowtowed heavily and accepted his fate: "They are subordinates. I am the oldest. The four of them listen to me."
Song Zheng snorted, and the Void God Town was condescending and secretly convinced Yan Feiliu: "Although he is pedantic, he still has some loyalty and can shoulder all responsibilities."
Chen Baihu and the other four trembled and kowtowed quickly: "We discussed this together."
Song Zheng said solemnly: "Yan Feiliu was demoted to a small flag, and he was guilty of meritorious service."
"Thank you, Lord!" Yan Fei kowtowed six times. Being demoted two levels in a row was a heavy punishment. However, compared to the charges Song Zheng mentioned before, he was not kicked out of the Long Yi Guards and his head was not removed.
It's really an act of mercy outside the law.
But when Yan Feiliu got up, he had to retreat to the back. If it was not Baihu, there would be no place for him to stand next to Song Zheng.
But the middle-aged beautiful woman yelled: "You are such a hateful person. I have already said that they are all here for Mr. Bai and Mr. Xiao..."
Song Zheng waved his hand gently: "Take it."
Chen Baihu and the others no longer dared to hesitate at all. They stepped forward together and took out a magic talisman to directly seal the mouth of the middle-aged beautiful woman. They twisted their arms hard to arrest her.
Zeng Xiaoxiao raised her sword eyebrows and was about to unsheath the long sword in her hand. But she saw Song Zheng turning his head and looking towards her. Zeng Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that Song Zheng's figure suddenly became extremely tall and profound, like a god! There seemed to be a sea behind him.
The vast starry sky is filled with twinkling stars.
This kind of superior pressure made her full of awe for a moment, and she didn't even dare to take action against Song Zheng!
When she suddenly woke up, this was just a magical power on the spiritual and soul level. After breaking free from this "state", the middle-aged beautiful woman had fallen into the hands of Chen Baihu and the others.
She suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that let alone protecting the beautiful middle-aged woman, if Song Zheng had attacked her just now, she would have been dead, and she would have no power to fight back.
Song Zheng looked at the middle-aged beautiful woman with angry eyes, took out a homophone bone charm, connected it and said: "Your own romantic debt."
Xiao Zhen's helpless voice came: "If you haven't been romantic, how can you get debt? You have a drunken dragon in your hands, don't you know how to kill people?"
Song Zheng turned off the homophonic bone charm and looked at the middle-aged beautiful woman. At this time, the middle-aged beautiful woman realized her fear, but it was too late. Song Zheng waved his hand: "I heard that this is also a sect. Let the sect leader come and see you.
I'll give her half an hour and she can't appear in front of me. Yanhonglou will no longer exist from now on."
He spoke very calmly, but at this time, the calmer he was, the more people understood that he would definitely mean what he said.
"Chen Baihu, ask the Yamen to prepare the Blazing Dragon."
"yes!"
Song Zheng wasted no time and walked into the Xianxing Courtyard. Zeng Xiaoxiao stood stiffly on the side, still holding her sword in her arms, but her originally chic posture now looked a little embarrassed.
"It's just a mere sight. Who gave you the confidence to despise the heroes of the world?" Song Zheng said calmly.
…
Somewhere in the northwest, Xiao Zhen reluctantly put away the homophonic bone talisman and vaguely realized that the candidate recommended by Mr. Shi was able to do things but had character.
