Chapter 36: Jiangnan whirlpool Jia Yan explores the brothel
The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s almost dusk.
It was sunset again, and Jia Qi walked out of the streets in the south of Yangzhou City. At this time, his face looked a little heavy. Thinking of what he had found out before, he smiled bitterly. He originally thought that the salt administration was just the six major salt merchants.
There are also major officials in Yangzhou who accepted bribes.
As long as they are controlled, peace should be restored to Yangzhou.
Unexpectedly, here he learned an even more shocking inside story. In fact, the real people behind the Jiangnan Salt Policy were not the so-called salt gang.
It was the overlord of Jiangnan, the Zhen family, and the second prince supported by the Zhen family.
The number of people in the Salt Gang exceeded 30,000. When he heard this number, he was stunned for a moment. For a time, he thought that the Zhen family was crazy. With 30,000 people, were they planning to rebel? Or were they?
Preparing for the future??
But even so, how could they dare to act like this? He really wanted to know what these people were thinking. Do they really think Emperor Mingkang was blind?
What's more important is that 90% of the people in the entire Jiangnan officialdom have an affair with the Zhen family, and their influence can affect the whole body. At this point, the matter has become a bit tricky for him.
The Zhen family and the officials of various governments were not moved. Unlike the salt merchants, they would attract the attention of the Dakang court. Just like Lu Guangbing and Yu Baichuan, he did not think of directly killing people, but controlled them.
His current cultivation level can last a sword energy for more than a month at most. What happened after that was just a careless trick and an empty city tactic with those people. After all, those people didn't know how long this sword energy could last.
Just like he didn't dare to gamble with his own life on whether Emperor Mingkan's sword was fast or not, they also didn't dare to gamble with their own lives. After all, they only have one life, and it's best to have it in their own hands.
Jia Qi sighed softly. The Jiangnan area was a mixed bag of good and bad, and it was deeply rooted. It would be very difficult to completely eliminate the problem, and it was not something he could do now.
The smoke of fireworks came from the tip of his nose, which made Jia Qi stop and take a look. The night market here was really lively.
The distribution of Yangzhou City is generally rich in the east and rich in the west, with merchants in the south and beggars in the north. Most of the people in the south are traders. There are not only various shops, but also restaurants, inns, and a place for fireworks, with a huge flow of people.
Jia Qi walked slowly and slowly, looking at the lights of thousands of houses in Yangzhou at night as he moved forward. Not long after, he came to a flower house called Wanhua House. Of course, this did not mean that after he came to Yangzhou,
I can't help but feel emotional when I see those beautiful faces, but the last contact point of the Salt Gang in Yangzhou is located here.
Wanhualou can be said to be the largest brothel in Xicheng, and its business is also extremely booming.
A seven-story flower building is brightly lit, extremely dazzling in the night, like a magnificent fairy palace.
As soon as Jia Qi arrived at the door and stood still, a turtle man came to solicit customers.
When he saw Jia Chu dressed luxuriously, he did not dare to neglect him. He did not care at all that Jia Chu was young. After all, there were many young and romantic young men here.
"Uncle, here you go, hurry up and invite me in. If there is a girl you know, do you need me to introduce you to one? No matter whether you are fat or thin, I will keep it to my satisfaction!!"
Jia Qi did not refuse this guy, and asked as he walked inside: "Do you have an appointment today, Miss Shuangshuang??"
"Hey! My dear, Miss Shuangshuang is the courtesan of our Wanhua House. To meet her, just spending money is not enough!!"
Jia Qi frowned, took out a jade pendant from his arms, and handed it to Mr. Turtle, "Give this to Miss Shuangshuang, and everything will come to light!!"
Turtle Gong saw that Jia Qi's expression was as usual, and he didn't look like he was lying. In addition, the jade pendant in his hand was of fine quality and definitely not for sale. He took a deep look at Jia Qi, did not dare to delay, and hurried back.
Wanhua Tower.
On the seventh floor of Wanhua Building, there is an extremely luxuriously decorated room. This jade room is fragrant and contains a stunning beauty.
Just look at this girl with eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like cut water, a jade face with peach blossoms, three thousand black hairs, a slender figure, a coquettish physique, a red dress that stretches to the floor, and an unparalleled elegance.
The voice of Mr. Gui came from outside the door, "Miss Shuangshuang, there is someone who wants to see you!!"
"Who is it? Xu Yan or Lu Deren?"
Xu Yan was a great talent in Yangzhou. He had a lotus tongue and an excellent tongue. He was very popular among the brothel girls in Yangzhou. He was very similar to Liu Sanbian in the Song Dynasty. He was romantic but not obscene. He was also a frequent visitor here.
The other one is the son of Lu Guangbing, the magistrate of Yangzhou. With such a great figure as Lu Guangbing taking care of him, Lu Deren can be said to have everything he wants in Yangzhou. Naturally, this oiran lady from Wanhualou, who is a performer but not a prostitute, is no exception.
.
Originally, he wanted to use his power to bully others and seize the body of this courtesan. Later, he was severely punished by his father and finally stopped. Although he would come here often in the future, he would not dare to take advantage of her anymore.
.

Except for the above two people, if ordinary people want to see the courtesan, they must make an appointment, and the court lady must nod. Today, she did not make an appointment. When she heard that someone wanted to see her, she would naturally have such questions.
Mr. Turtle hesitated for a moment and said, "No, he is a handsome young man! He gave the villain something and said that when the girl sees it, he will find out!"
Inside the room, both of them stretched their slender waists and raised their chests into a graceful arc. Their eyes moved, their red lips slightly raised, and they reached out to signal the maid next to them, "Xi'er, go and bring that object in. I'd rather
I want to see what it is!"
The maid on the side heard Shuang Shuang's instructions, responded respectfully, opened the door and went to get it.
Not long after, the maid brought back a jade pendant.
"Xi'er, what is it??"
"Girl, it's a tiger-shaped jade pendant!!"
After hearing this, both of them were slightly startled, with some astonishment in their eyes. Then she looked at the maid Xi'er and moved her lotus arms gently, "Xier, where is the thing? Bring it over and show it to me!!"
Xi'er was stunned. Although this object was good, her master had been dealing with those rare treasures all day long. He must have been tired of seeing them. Why was he suddenly interested in this object? However, faced with Shuangshuang's instructions, she
But he didn't dare to disobey. He took two quick steps forward and handed the object in his hand to Shuangshuang.
They both took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. The tiger-shaped pendant in their hands was a piece of mutton-fat jade. It was completely snow-white, with a fine texture, a moist luster, and a shape like gelatin. It also felt warm and moist to the touch.
There were three dents on the back of the jade pendant that seemed to have been accidentally left during the withering process. When both of them touched these three dents, their eyes narrowed unconsciously.
Immediately, her eyes became a little distant, her eyes flickered twice, and she said to the maid beside her: "Xi'er, go and bring this person in!!"
Xi'er was about to agree, but the next moment, she couldn't help but look at her girl with a strange look in her eyes, as if she wanted to confirm whether she heard correctly.
"Hurry up and go!!"
Seeing their maid acting like this, both of them couldn't help but tap her forehead gently and said again.
Xi'er confirmed that she had not heard it, quickly said yes, turned around and hurried out the door.
Shuangshuang gently touched the jade pendant in his hand, and couldn't help murmuring to himself, "Who could it be? Why did you come to me at this time?"
