The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 918
The brilliant Sui Dynasty with gold and iron horses also has luxury enough to make people fall.

Wenroufang is one of them. In the Baihua Pavilion of Zhongqu in the workshop, the music of silk and bamboo orchestras can be heard.

In an elegant room, there are long tables and chairs. On the long table, there is a dazzling array of food and wine. In the middle, a group of singers in colorful clothes are dancing to the music.While dancing gracefully, her wrists beat the snow, and a sense of extravagance rushed over her face.

After drinking for three rounds, the guests present all became a little unrestrained. Sitting next to Liu Yanke was an orchid with a high bun. Breasts are even more mouth-watering, however, Liu Yanke seems to have lost sight of such a radiant beauty, dejectedly thinking about himself.

Liquor is hot and heroic. When it enters the throat, it will turn into a raging fire, but no matter how strong the fire is, it can't dispel Liu Yanke's feeling of coldness and loneliness.

Alcohol is easy to get drunk when you are sad. Liu Yanke, who was originally a good drinker, became dizzy after a few drinks.

Liu Dewei raised his glass to him and said, "Brother, please drink."

"Please!" Liu Yanke toasted quickly, forced a smile and paid respects to Liu Dewei.

"Why, my brother is not satisfied with the beauties around me?"

"No, no, brother, don't think too much, the younger brother is just a little upset."

Liu Dewei laughed: "My brother is young and energetic, and he is in the prime of his life. There are so many unresolved knots in his heart, isn't he just being punished? Just treat yourself as young and don't understand, learn a lesson, and make up for it next time." Just come back. Look at Sun Ming and Xie Xian, these two guys are worse than you, they are down two levels each, don't they still have fun?"

During the rectification movement, not only Liu Yanke was the one who suffered, but also many officials from the Three Law Departments. Almost all of them, like Liu Yanke, made mistakes that men would make when performing official duties, and they were all punished.

Of course, everyone didn’t know that this was the trick of Qiao Shiwang, otherwise, some people here would probably set up the table and beat Qiao Shiwang violently to vent their anger. This is why Yang Tong did not announce that the whistleblower was Qiao Shiwang. He had seen a piece of news before, saying that after a penniless criminal returned from serving his sentence, he wiped out all the whistleblowers.

Yang Tong didn't want this kind of tragedy to happen in his own dynasty, and even if Qiao Shiwang hadn't been stabbed to death, if he was isolated and hated because of it, would he dare to report bad things in the future?
Ninety percent will not.

Even Yang Tong would not.

In his previous life, he wanted to report a rapist in the same village, but he saw that the criminal on TV was tightly protected by a hood that only showed his facial features. On the other hand, the informant just covered his eyes so-so, so he was afraid that the criminal would retaliate afterwards, so he dared not report .Everyone has this heart, and finally the criminals walk in the sun blatantly, and justice cannot be done.

In fact, Qiao Shiwang also hesitated for a long time between law and love, but because he was still young, passionate and responsible, he gritted his teeth and reported him. Don't worry, but I still feel guilty for my colleagues who were punished, so I followed everyone's wishes and invited this wine to take the opportunity to make up for the guilt in my heart.

And at this time, the censor named Sun Ming, and the guy named Xie Xian was so drunk that his eyes went straight, and he was sitting there staggering like a tumbler, with lip marks all over his face.

As for Cheng Yaojin, who is shameless and shameless, he is more open. Orchid sitting on his back is naked from the upper body.

Liu Yanke smiled wryly and shook his head, but his interest was still low.

At this time, the face of a censor pulled out from the bottom of the skirt of an enchanting orchid, and said with a smile: "I don't know, brother Liu likes dignified and gentle women. Although these orchids are enchanting, they are not It suits his taste."

Liu Yanke frowned, but Cheng Yaojin, who was so busy, had already covered everything: "What's so difficult? There are all kinds of beauties in Baihua Pavilion, go quickly, and help our brother choose a dignified and gentle man." Talented girls come!"

Immediately, the singing and dancing stopped, and many singers retreated with giggles. After a while, a woman wearing a gauze double-breasted narrow-sleeved shirt came slowly.

This woman's appearance is not very outstanding, but the strong scholarly spirit is not like a man in the world, but like a lady who is forced into prostitution, her expression is very sad, the woman who brought her pointed at Liu Yanke's profile, and smiled He came to Cheng Yaojin's side, knelt down to watch and study.

Liu Yanke still declined: "No, no, good intentions, but Liu is really not in the mood today... Ah, you, you, you, stop for me."

Liu Yanke, who was talking, suddenly let out a loud roar, and Cheng Yaojinxiong, who had reached the peak of fright, suddenly raised his head; Xie Xian also looked this way with straight eyes.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liu Yanke jumped up, stepped forward quickly, grabbed the elegant woman who was hiding her face and fled, and roughly pulled down her hands covering her face, her face became distorted, and she yelled angrily: " It turned out to be you, it really was you."

The woman panicked: "You, you, you have the wrong person."

"It's you, it's you, it's you."

"It's not me, it's not me, it's not me."

Listening to this interesting conversation, the whole hall was silent, followed by bursts of cheerful laughter.

Everyone can see that the two are familiar.

"Hmph, hum, hum!" Liu Yanke said with a ferocious expression, "Admit the wrong person? How could I admit the wrong person? If I admit the wrong person, I, Liu Yanke, will be renamed Liu Piaoke from now on."

"Ha ha…"

"hey-hey!"

"whee."

The hall became a sea of ​​joy.

Cheng Yaojin was coquettish at the other party, while putting on his trouser belt, he smiled and asked: "How did this woman come from?"

The little prostitute who wiped her face vigorously said with a smile: "This is our luthier, we all call her Sister Yingying, she seems to have offended the owner, and now she also wants to pick up customers, but she doesn't do it, she was starved for a few days."

Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes, the proprietor seemed to have committed the serious crime of forcing his wife into prostitution, and maybe he could still make a contribution.But thinking that the hall is full of people who practice the law, they are experts in this field, so how can they have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds?Thinking of this, he became very frustrated again, and simply sat aside and watched the excitement.

At this time, "Liu's prostitute" caught the woman to a brightly lit place, and after a closer look, it was indeed the girl Xu Yingying who cheated him in Shuangliao County. In an instant, her teeth were gritted, and she was angry like a rage bull.

It's just that he was a scholar after all, and he had never beaten a woman, so although he was mad with hatred, he couldn't think of a way to punish her to vent his hatred. He just stared at Xu Yingying, whose face was flushed, with bloodshot eyes.

This posture is like a husband who came to catch an adulterer and caught his cheating wife.

"It seems that brother Liu doesn't need to change his name." Qiao Shiwang also recognized it, and he waved his hand to the many prostitutes in a flash of thought, and said: "When couples met in the old days, there were so many things to talk about. Everyone go out first!"

"Here."

This kind of thing is not uncommon in a brothel. You may not have seen a prostitute, but you have heard a beautiful story of a lover meeting in a brothel. The two looked at each other with tears in their eyes, and then tried to redeem themselves. Not only did they have no doubts, but they were very interested in watching the show, but although they also wanted to watch the show, the customers were gods, and they dared not disobey, so they smiled and helped up the orchid who was paralyzed by Cheng Yaojin, and were about to leave .

Qiao Shiwang's heart moved, and he said to Liu Dewei, Sun Ming, Xie Xian and others: "It's getting late, everyone should rest here."

Everyone had enough wine, and after watching Cheng Yaojin's fiery live performance, they were already very angry, but they didn't dare to be happy in public like Cheng Yaojin, Qiao Shiwang's words were very popular, and everyone They responded one after another, each staggered away with the beauty in their arms.

Qiao Shiwang walked over, hugged "Liu's client" by the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Come on, let's talk this way!"

He motioned Xu Yingying, who was panicked after seeing her old friend, to stay still, dragged the "client Liu" to Liu Dewei, and said in a low voice: "Brother Liu, speaking of it, Miss Xu is involuntary, she has no relationship with you Yes, who can she cheat if she doesn't cheat you? Besides, if you are stable, can you be cheated by him?"

"..." "Liu's client" blushed, he was speechless, and couldn't help but reflect in his heart: Yes, if I behaved rightly and behaved well, could I be deceived?Thinking about it this way, the hatred towards Xu Yingying dissipated quite a bit.

"Brother, I can be considered one of the witnesses. I can see that Brother Liu is really moved by this girl. Haha, whether it is love or hate, no matter what, it is a beautiful fate. Today I will give you a Iceman, redeem this Miss Xu and send her to be your concubine. She has jumped out of the world and is no longer at the mercy of others, and you, let her serve you for the rest of her life as compensation, okay?" Qiao Shiwang felt the most guilty. The person in question is "Liu's client". If he hadn't witnessed the "beautiful encounter" between him and Xu Yingying, he would not have thought of complaining, and he might not be able to get the position of today's servant. The prostitute didn't rise but fell, so he planned to redeem the woman to compensate him.

"Liu Prostitute" heard this, and refused repeatedly: "How can it be done? If I want to redeem it, I will redeem it myself. How can I let Brother Qiao spend money?"

"Look, are you really moved?"

"This..." "Guest Liu" blushed even more, and he was confused for a moment. To be honest, at first he was naturally close to this woman because she looked like his sister-in-law, but during the period of getting along, he Attracted by Xu Yingying's smiles, gentleness, and versatility, the reason why she hated her so deeply later on was probably due to her deep responsibility, but now that Qiao Shiwang pointed it out, she suddenly realized that she actually never forgot Xu Yingying, but she All I know is that this woman is Lu's maid, where exactly is she living and how do I know?

But now, it reappeared by accident. Is it a coincidence, or another deception?
Seeing him in a daze, Qiao Shi walked aside and said a few words to Xu Yingbao. When Xu Yingying heard that Qiao Shiwang wanted to redeem her body and give it to client Liu, she was surprised and happy, and then panicked.

She is a tool cultivated by Fan Yang Lu's family, and under normal circumstances, she will either become a concubine of someone in the master's family, or be given away, and because she is good at playing the piano, she was arranged to be a luthier in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.But because of the fall of the Lu family, Lu Yu, Lu Renxuan, Lu Maozhi and others who knew that he had tricked Liu's clients all died. She seemed to have lost her value and was arranged to be a flesh and blood business girl. Clan-educated people have a sense of shame and etiquette that is not weaker than that of a lady, so they have always been reluctant to receive customers, but after a few days of starvation, they had no choice but to give in. Whoever thought of raising their spirits, the first person they received was actually customer Liu .

To be honest, she also has a feeling of shock, fear and love, and she is already 23 years old, she is considered old in the entertainment field, and her beauty is not all-powerful. A concubine for Yushi, that would be the best, but thinking of that enmity, she was terrified.Although it's not up to her to choose, but can this client Liu understand her difficulties?If he held a grudge, wouldn't it mean that he was ravaged, abused and oppressed?
Seeing her worry, Qiao Shiwang said that Client Liu's temperament is to be lenient, and that Client Liu never forgets her. Xu Yingying's pretty face flushed when she heard the next words, she nodded in embarrassment. Courage walked over to the stunned customer Liu.

"Brother Liu is drunk, Miss Xu, you have to serve him well. In the morning tomorrow, you can pack up your bags and go with him. Brother Liu is alone, and you will take care of him from now on."

"Yes." Xu Yingying didn't dare to raise her head, she answered in a low voice shyly, and took the dull client Liu to her boudoir.

Xu Yingying's boudoir is warm and elegant. She was at a loss for a while looking at Liu's client who would serve her whole life.

Client Liu drank a lot of wine, his mind was in a daze, looking at this woman whom she hated, loved, and unforgettable, he yelled angrily, "Take it off!"

Xu Yingying was startled, she quickly pulled her belt, and stripped herself into a naked little white sheep in shame and fear. Just when she didn't know whether to cover her hands or not, client Liu hugged her and rushed to her. On the bed, I turned all the aggrieved resentment in my heart into action.

From the looks of it, this man and woman who are inseparable from their grievances are planning to let go of their grievances.

……

The hall where the music ended was in a mess.

Only Qiao Shiwang, who was treating guests, and Cheng Yaojin, who had had enough fun, were left. The former wanted to redeem Xu Yingying’s body to make up for the harm he had done to Liu’s client. The latter had to go home at night, so the two went to help Xu Yingying to settle the matter .

The imperial court stipulated that brothels should not forcefully keep conscientious female prostitutes, let alone deliberately make things difficult, otherwise they could report the case to the government, and the government would sentence those who did not pay a penny and release them by force. What's more, Xu Yingying is "old and yellow". I don't know how old she is. The shopkeeper of the Baihua Pavilion is happy to "use waste", and issue a certificate in a daze.

"Little Qiao, what's going on?" Cheng Yaojin asked after leaving the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.

"This Miss Xu is also a pitiful person. She was used by Fan Yang Lu to stop the investigation... Unexpectedly, after Lu's death, she also revealed the brothel..." Qiao Shiwang was a person in the situation, so he knew it well. It was because of her that he got close to Lu Maozhi, seized a lot of evidence, and provided a lot of help in solving the case. At this time, when the night wind blew and he was drunk, Qiao Shiwang immediately explained the cause and effect

The so-called speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

Cheng Yaojin became excited when he heard this, he remembered what the little prostitute who was molested by her said, "'This is our luthier, we call her Sister Yingying, she seems to have offended the owner, now she Also pick up guests...'"

Comparing the two sides one by one, Cheng Yaojin came to a conclusion - Baihua Pavilion is the property of Fan Yang Lu's family, and it is now operating normally, which means that Lu's family is still in charge here. Telling the Holy Majesty, that is a great achievement. .

"Xiao Qiao, it's getting late, you know, I'm a henpeck just like Fang Shangshu... I, I, I... Let's go first..."

Thinking of this, Cheng Yaojin ignored Qiao Shiwang's gaze, left his words, got on his horse, and walked away under Qiao Shiwang's stunned gaze.

Cheng Yaojin left Rouroufang, took a shortcut across the Xinzhong Bridge, and went straight to the left gate of Ziwei City.
