There is one of the most prestigious brothels in Dongyou Imperial City called Nansheng Pavilion. Nan Sheng, the number one oiran in the brothel, is a stunningly beautiful woman. No one knows when she entered this brothel, but from the first time she received a customer
From the beginning, the Nansheng Pavilion was packed every night. From relatives of the emperor to wealthy businessmen, many dignitaries spent huge sums of money just to make her smile.
No one knew what her previous name was. They only knew that she was called Nan Sheng when receiving guests. It was the same as the name of Nan Sheng Restaurant. The madam treated her like his own daughter. He held her in the palm of his hand for fear of falling and held her in his mouth for fear of melting.
Nan Sheng was very popular, and every night people spent a lot of money to compete for her to dance. She was the cash cow of Nan Sheng Hall, a golden pot, and the darling in the eyes of the dignitaries in the entire imperial capital.
Rich men all like beauties, with few exceptions, and since ancient times, there are many men who have fallen for beauties.
For example, the prince had his leg broken tonight because he was jealous.
"Sir!" A panicked exclamation sounded in the courtyard of Wang Shangshu's house, "It's not good! It's not good! The young master was jealous of others in Nansheng Tower and was thrown from the second floor window and broke his leg!
"
Mr. Wang, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who had just returned from his duty as an official, sat down to prepare for a meal. Hearing this, he became angry and asked, "What did you say?"
Mrs. Wang was also shocked: "What's wrong with Shuo'er?"
"My lord...he was broken by someone." The boy said with a pale face, "Sir, please go and have a look."
The Minister of Civil Affairs was furious: "Where is he?"
"Still... still in Nansheng Hall, I have arranged for someone to go find the doctor..."
"Who is the thief?" Wang Shangshu was furious, "Have you arrested him?"
The young man replied fearfully: "Not yet, but... but the villain has sent people to keep an eye on the Nansheng Pavilion and will not let the thieves escape easily."
Wang Shangshu slammed the table and walked out angrily: "Take more guards and follow me to the Nansheng Pavilion. I want to see who is so audacious!"
There is really no royal law, and some people dare to touch the son of a dignified third-rank official.
Mrs. Wang chased out quickly and warned fiercely: "Master, you must seek justice for Shuoer! Let the thief who dared to hurt Shuoer die without a burial place!"
The Minister of Libu quickly arrived at Nansheng Hall with his guards. The entrances and exits in front and back were surrounded. Wang Shangshu walked into the lobby: "Who hurt my son? Don't let him escape!"
There was a commotion in the lobby, and the women who were laughing and receiving the guests fled away. Most of the guests who were having fun on the first floor were of low status. When they saw an official from the imperial court arriving, they naturally did not dare to come forward to confront them. They all avoided it automatically, and even had the guts to do so.
The young man tried to sneak away quietly, but was stopped by the guard when he stepped out of the door: "My lord has an order, no one is allowed to leave until the thief is caught!"
The old bustard walked down the stairs, laughing so hard that his branches trembled: "Hey, what kind of wind blew Mr. Wang here?"
"Stop talking nonsense." Wang Shangshu looked at her coldly, "Quinzi had his leg broken here just now. I want to know who is so bold! Does the majestic emperor really have no royal law at his feet?"
The old bustard smiled and saluted: "Master Shangshu, I don't know something. Can you please listen to the old woman explain the whole story clearly?"
Wang Shangshu was furious: "I don't want to hear the whole story, please hand him over as soon as possible!"
"Tonight's distinguished guests first called Miss Nan Sheng. Prince Wang was a step behind, but he had to ask for Miss Nan Sheng. When an old woman does business and welcomes guests, it's first come, first served. We can't break the rules, right?" The old madam laughed along with him, unhurriedly.
He unhurriedly explained the cause and effect of the matter clearly, "Young Master Wang failed to ask for a meeting with Miss Nan Sheng, so he asked someone to take action first. However, the distinguished guest was more skillful and in desperation, he threw Young Master Wang down. It was actually an unintentional act -"
"At the feet of the emperor, if you injure the son of a court official, even if you talk nonsense, it will not help!" Wang Shangshu interrupted her impatiently, "Let the person who injured the dog come out. I must see what kind of bully this person is.
, how dare you commit murder at the feet of the Emperor!"
The old bustard still laughed: "Master Wang, the distinguished guest is taking charge of the matter. It's better not to make things worse."
Wang Shangshu stepped forward quickly, pushed her away impatiently, and hurried upstairs with the others.
The old madam stood in the lobby, looking at his angry back, and sighed softly, this man was looking for death, it was really hard for a god to save him.
The young man took Wang Shangshu to the private room named Tianzi on the third floor and pointed: "Sir, this is it."
The sweet and melodious sound of curling silk and bamboo came from the private room, and Wang Shangshu coldly ordered: "Kick the door."
Bang!
The boy kicked the door open.
The sound of the piano in the private room stopped for a moment, and several pairs of eyes looked over. One of them was sitting in front of the window holding a wine glass. He was dressed casually and lazily in white clothes. He was originally listening to the piano with his eyes closed, but there was a look of laziness and enjoyment in his brows.
.
However, the sound of the piano was interrupted, and he was obviously unhappy. He opened his eyes and looked at the reckless person who kicked in the door, and his eyes instantly turned cold.
The woman kneeling on the blanket in the center of the private room playing the piano is the oiran of the Nansheng Pavilion. She has a peerless appearance, a graceful figure, and is dressed in red enchantingly. Her gaze is full of amorous feelings, and her face is world-famous.
In the private room, an elegant landscape painting screen separated the inner and outer rooms. At this time, there was still a person lying leisurely on the imperial concubine's couch in the inner room. From Lord Wang's sight, he could only see a pair of women wearing black boots.
foot.
Anger went to his head. At this time, Wang Shangshu lost all reason because of his eagerness to protect his son. His eyes fell on the face of the man in front of the window, and his tone was cold: "It was you who injured my son?"
The man sitting in front of the window raised his eyebrows: "Your Excellency, are you the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?"
"It seems that you know who I am, and you also know who the person you injured is." Wang Shangshu said in a sinister tone, looking at the man as if he were looking at a dead person, "I know his identity.
, you still dare to hurt him, it seems you are deliberately seeking death?"
Hearing this, the man said rather strangely: "Then don't you want to know who I am?"
"I don't want to know who you are."
The man smiled faintly and lazily crossed his legs: "Master Shangshu is indeed full of authority."
Wang Shangshu raised his hand: "Take him down!"
The guard behind him was about to rush in, but heard the man say casually: "Master Wang lost 97,000 taels of silver at Heshun Gambling House last month and still hasn't paid back. He thought he only gave 50,000, and still owes 47,000."
I haven’t paid back the thousand taels.”
Wang Shangshu was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed: "What did you say?"
"I spent thirty thousand taels on the Jinxiu Painted Boat last month in the hope of making the Jinxiu girl smile, but unfortunately I failed." The man continued, "The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel has a rich family, which is really surprising."
Wang Shangshu's expression changed little by little, and murderous intent loomed in his eyes: "Who are you?"
