I don't want to be king

Chapter 403 Xinghualou

Although the two of them have already married and established businesses, they are frequent visitors here.

The older I get, the more I like young and beautiful women.

However, none of them had the intention of abandoning the chaff or marrying another concubine.

With their conditions, they can remarry Xiaojiabiyu, but these are things that can't be carried on their shoulders or hands. On the contrary, one can eat more than the other, and they have to lose money when they marry home.

They are used to living a hard life, wishing to treat a penny as a flower with two petals, and have never traded at a loss.

Now willing to come to the land of fireworks for a while, it is all gritted teeth.

And there are so many places like this, they don't even know how to talk to girls from good families.

Getting along with the women in the land of fireworks has its own set of rules. Taking Lao Tzu's money, eating Lao Tzu's money, and drinking Lao Tzu's money is equivalent to tacitly willing to introduce and allow Lao Tzu to do things.

But everyone from Li Sanniang to Cao Xiaohuan and Zhou Xun took advantage of them, ate their food, and drank their food.

Sometimes they all have the illusion that these girls are interesting to them!
So there are too many brothels, and sometimes it is quite dangerous.

One day, if he loses his mind and makes a wrong move, he will be beaten to death by Cao Xiaohuan and the others.

When they entered Xinghualou, they only ate and drank in the lobby, and they were never willing to spend a lot of money for a private room. They had never seen what the backyard of Xinghualou looked like.

This time, in order to investigate the assassination case of Ankang Fuyin, they deliberately spent a lot of money to enter the private room in the backyard.

One of them hugged a young girl in her twenties, sitting in the private room playing and drinking, after drinking for three rounds, she gave the butcher a wink at Pork Rong.

After Zhurourong burped, he pushed away the girl who was leaning on his shoulder, stood up slowly and said, "People have three urgencies, you drink slowly, I will deal with it first."

Compared with Jiang Butcher, he naturally has higher martial arts and better lightness skills, so the matter of inquiring naturally falls on him.

He said it was just an inquiry, but he didn't have much hope.

It was mainly due to curiosity, they didn't understand why the government wanted to search brothels!

If he didn't fully understand, he felt uncomfortable and couldn't sleep well.

The cat was hiding under a thick colonnade, and when it was looking left and right, someone patted the back of the shoulder, making it tremble all over.

Although I drank a lot of wine, I was still a fifth grade!
Aside from the Sanhe people, as a fifth-rank man, he can usually walk sideways in Ankang City!

Now unexpectedly someone can walk behind him silently, but he hasn't noticed it yet.

In an instant, the wine was half sober!
How powerful this man is, if he strikes at him, he will have no power to fight back.

Therefore, he didn't move lightly, and turned his head cautiously. After seeing the face in front of him clearly, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He patted his chest and said, "Kan Zai, people are scary, scary."

Liu Kan was dressed in white and long gown. While shaking the folding fan in his hand, he smiled and said, "What are you doing here?"

Rourou Rong said, "What kind of place is this, can't even a man come here?"

Liu Kan said lightly, "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking, go away quickly, this is not a place for you to stay."

"I don't like to hear that. Why can't I stay when you can?"

Rourourong said unconvinced, "You told me to go, but I still won't go."

Liu Kan smiled and said, "I know you all want to earn credit, but think about it, if you can do it, what do we need?"

Rourou Rong wiped his flushed face, and snorted coldly, "You look down on people."

He found out that this little bastard has been floating since becoming an official!
Back then, seeing him and the butcher, "Uncle" shouted enthusiastically.

Where is it like now, seeing that my nose is not a nose, and my eyes are not eyes.

Liu Kan went on to say, "Whether it's the Beijing camp, the Bing Ma Si, or the court guards, there are countless eyes watching in secret. As soon as you came in, someone notified me. You should leave quickly, so as not to be affected by disaster. "

After Zhurourong heard this, he was taken aback, thinking it made sense.

If the three floors inside and outside the three floors were surrounded, there would be no chance for him and the butcher to play.

Ignoring Liu Kan again, he turned around and went to the private room, took a bite to the left inside, and waved to the butcher, "Let's go."

Before the butcher had time to ask what was going on, Rourou Rong had already retracted his head and walked away, so he had to hurry up to follow.

The two left Xinghualou one after the other, and said to the butcher angrily, "What's the situation, can you say something then?"

Pork Rong sighed, "There are people from the Beijing camp everywhere, we can't intervene, so let's go back to sleep."

After speaking, I didn't wait for Jiang Butcher's response for a long time. When I was wondering what was going on, I turned around and saw Jiang Butcher looking at a tea stall.

Rourourong said angrily, "What are you looking at?"

The butcher narrowed his eyes and said, "Look, the old and the young sitting in the middle of the tea stand, and the standing one, are they waving to us?"

Zhu Rourong took a step forward and said, "King Yong'an."

"That standing one must be that old thing Laikuan."

The butcher is very sure.

Pork Rong said, "Go and have a look?"

Without waiting for the butcher to nod, he strode towards King Yong'an.

"Wait for me."

Chase the butcher again.

The two of them approached King Yong'an, and when they were about to speak, they heard King Yong'an say, "Both of you are from your own family, so there is no need to be so polite, please sit down."

Thinking that this King Yong'an might be visiting in private, he didn't salute any more. He just looked at Tang Yi next to him and said, "Who is this?"

Before King Yong'an could speak, Tang Yi spoke first, he stroked his beard and said, "This old man is just a grass-roots person, and he really can't be understood by outsiders.

I saw two majestic, brave and majestic men, they are really rare heroes.

Just when I regretted passing by, I thought that the prince is actually familiar with the two, which is also God's will. "

His previous statement was true.

After being dismissed by Qi Yong, he was directly escorted to Ankang City.

Now that the grievances have not been healed, it is natural to be alone.

As for the last sentence, I don't know if I really said it, anyway, Zhurou Ronghe and the butcher looked happy after hearing it.

"you are welcome,"

When Zhurou Rong laughed, the flesh on his face piled up, and his eyes were even more invisible. He cupped his hands at Tang Yi and said, "General, general, third place in the south of the city."

The only dissatisfaction between the two of them was their stature.

Every time I talk to others, I have to straighten my neck and raise my head. After a long time, my neck is sore and my head hurts.

The two of them are just right together, there is no one who accommodates the other, and they are not willing to play with others.

Tang Yi joked, "Then who is number one?"

Zhu Rourong said proudly, "Of course it's with the prince!"

Lai Kuan followed closely and asked, "What about the second one?"

"Of course it's me!"

The butcher held his head up and said.

Pork Rong looked at King Yong'an, and asked curiously, "I don't know what your lord's instructions are for this villain?"

"Cough cough."

Old Twelve covered his mouth with his fist and coughed twice.

Lai Kuan hurriedly said, "Give you a chance to make a fortune and make meritorious deeds. I don't know if you are willing or not?"

Rourou Rong frowned and said, "Get rich and make meritorious deeds?"

Lai Kuan laughed and said, "You don't believe me?"

The butcher snorted coldly, "You think I'm stupid?"

Everyone in Ankang City knows that the Twelve Princes are poor enough to be pants!

Many wealthy families are already eager to try it, and they are going to observe it for a few more years. If they confirm that the twelfth prince can finally be tolerated by the prince, they will send their concubine daughter to Yong'an Palace!

what?
King Yongan disagrees?

impossible!

Lao Tzu took a dowry of 10 taels and smashed King Yong'an to death!
They didn't believe that King Yong'an didn't bow his head.

You are so poor, what integrity do you need?
When the time comes, King Yong'an will get the money, and they will get the names of the royal relatives!

It's killing two birds with one stone.

"How to speak?"

After Lai Kuan glanced at his prince, he said to Pork Rong and the butcher angrily, "Let me tell you, if you miss this village, there will be no such shop. This is the prince looking after you. Don't you not know what to do."

"Come wide, go,"

The old twelve waved his hands and said, "Forget it, forget it, what is difficult for a strong man is not what a gentleman does.

Lai Kuan helped Tang Yi up, and followed King Yong'an.

Zhurou Ronghe glanced at the butcher, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in the Yong'an Wang gourd.

Lai Kuan helped Tang Yi into the carriage, then took the rein, looked behind him as he walked, and said, "My lord, those two dogs are following up."

King Yong'an said proudly, "Don't bother with them, just go ahead with us."

Lai Kuan said, "Yes."

The carriage finally stopped at the Imperial College.

As soon as Yong'an Wang got off the carriage, he saw the pork Rong and the general butcher who was also pretending to watch peach blossoms at the gate of the Imperial College.

Lai Kuan stepped forward and said, "You two, have you met again?"

Rourourong said angrily, "Just tell me if you have something to do, we are busy."

Lai Kuan said, "Let me tell you the truth, we want to catch this assassin and cooperate with you, what do you want?"

Zhurourong said in surprise, "Assassin?
What assassin? "

Lai Kuan snorted coldly, "Of course it was the assassin who attacked the governor of Ankang in the street. Where else could there be an assassin?"

"Assassins are so easy to catch?"

While Zhurou Rong was speaking, he glanced at King Yongan next to him, "The government has dispatched so many people to search all the brothels in Ankang City, and there is still no result. It is impossible for us to be better than them."

Lai Kuan said proudly, "You don't know that, the news that Qi Yong is hiding in the brothel in Ankang City was told by our prince to the governor of Ankang."

Rourou Rong said, "Then since you have all reported to officials, what is this now?"

Lai Kuan said, "Do you think it's more credit for catching the assassin directly, or more credit for providing clues?"

"Of course it is to catch the assassin directly!"

Pork Rong said without hesitation.

Lai Kuan said, "That's it, our lord values ​​both of you, if you are willing to help us, we will not treat you badly."

Pork Rong still didn't believe it, and cupped his hands at King Yong'an, "I don't know what the prince means?"

King Yong'an smiled and said, "Lai Kuan is right. You all know the situation of this king. If you meet two people today, please help them."

Jiang Tuhu said, "Since we want to catch this assassin, what are we doing here at the Imperial College?
King Yong'an said to Tang Yi, "Please ask my grandfather to clarify my doubts!"

grandfather?
Pork Wing and the butcher suddenly realized!
It turns out that this old man is the unlucky magistrate of Qizhou!

Just because the 800 taels of silver did not match the accounts, he was escorted to the capital.

They can often hear some scholars scolding and the prince's incompetence, such a good official, unexpectedly let such a good official fall into prison.

It is really unfair!
The two of them had heard a lot, and they also felt that Lord Tang Yi was indeed Lord Qingtian, a rare and good official.

Even the two of them began to think that they did something wrong with the prince this time.

"It turned out to be Master Qingtian,"

Pork Rong bowed and bowed again, "The villain has eyes but can't see Mount Tai."

He sincerely respects upright and capable officials.

Tang Yi replied, "Don't dare, dare not.

This time there are two Laos. "

His grandson is really miserable.

It doesn't matter if you don't have money.

At the critical moment, apart from a sloppy old servant, there was not even a helper.

How is this messed up!

He almost scolded the wine bag and rice bag.

The butcher said loudly, "Master Qingtian, if you have any orders, just say it."

Tang Yi smiled and said, "I don't know if you have heard a poem 'Wilds are misty in the dawn mist, apricot blossoms fall at five o'clock', 'The small building listens to the spring rain all night, and the deep alley sells apricot blossoms in the Ming Dynasty'."

Zhurou Rong, General Butcher, and Laikuan are all rough people, except for the word "Xinghua", they don't know anything else.

Only Old Twelve said, "The first sentence is from Qi Yong. As for the second sentence, I'm not very knowledgeable, so I really don't know."

Tang Yi smiled and said, "The latter sentence was made by Qin Yang, the censor of Youdu."

"I see,"

King Yong'an continued, "These two are indeed great masters in the world, good poems, good poems, I don't know what my grandfather means by saying these things?"

Tang Yi continued, "Do you know the origin of the name of Xinghualou?"

Jiang Butcher suddenly said, "In this world, there are hundreds of brothels called Xinghualou, and there are thousands of girls named Chunhua, Lihua, and Ruyi. It is not unusual to have Xinghualou in Ankang City. "

"That's absurd,"

Tang Yi stroked his beard and said with a smile, "The shopkeeper behind Xinghualou in Ankang City is the son-in-law of the eldest princess."

"Tang Xun?"

This is something that the old 12 million never thought of.

"good,"

Tang Yi continued, "Xinghualou was not called Xinghualou originally, and there was no place called Xinghualou in the world at that time. At that time, Qi Yong was a talented scholar of the Imperial College, famous all over the world, and liked an oiran , specially wrote a poem for it: skirt and socks, Peach Blossom Bank, thin shirt and light fan, Xinghualou, how many times I walked, how many times I got drunk, how many times I stayed.

Tang Xun loved his talent, so he changed the name of the brothel to "Xinghualou".

Because there are many stunning women, there are an endless stream of guests, and it is famous all over the world.

After that, many brothels with the same name appeared in the world, pretending to be Xinghualou. "

"I see."

While everyone suddenly realized, they had to admire Tang Yi's erudition.

Tang Yi paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, "Xinghualou is a place that Qi Yong often visits, dancing and writing, pushing cups and changing cups, talking and drinking, so happy.

However, the Guozijian has strict rules and regulations, and they are not allowed to stay overnight.

On a whim, he dug a passage between Guozijian and Xinghualou.

The cost of the large industry is more than ten thousand gold.

But it doesn't bother him, he is a well-read person, he knows that the ditches in Ankang City are very deep and wide, and many desperate people hide in them, so he named himself 'Worriless Cave', also called 'Ghost Fan Tower'.

He persuaded a few classmates and friends to dredge the ditch together.

There is a passage between Xinghualou and Guozijian.

Since then, day and night have come out, and this is "the willows are blurred in the dawn mist, and the apricot blossoms fall at five o'clock in the fog." The apricot blossoms here are the apricot blossoms, not the apricot blossoms on the apricot trees. "

"How do you know so clearly?"

Pork Rong asked with staring eyes.

This is what he is most curious about!
It's as if I've experienced it myself.

Tang Yi was asked suddenly, and hurriedly said, "I heard, I heard."

Then he turned his back directly and looked towards a forest behind the Imperial College.
