My book friend Long Aotian

Chapter 122: Practice with Tongzhi First
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The hot news in Huazhou recently is "Jie Yuanlang monopolizes the courtesan".

The streets were full of discussions, after all, it was a hot search, and it was about a talented scholar and a beautiful woman, so it was naturally a hot topic. Everyone said that Xiao Nanyan invited Mr. Mo Feng to the Qionghua Terrace for a chat, and the two of them were so in love that they got married that night and returned to Moshangsang overnight.

The next day, Qionghuatai announced that Teacher Xiao had retired.

Soon, the former courtesan Xiao Nanyue announced in the newspaper that she would not rule out being active in the Huazhou entertainment industry as an individual, and from now on she would be a loyal fan of Mr. Mo Feng's books and participate in the operation of activities.

As soon as the news came out, female anchors in the same field made sharp comments.

"This bitch climbed up to Li Yuanlang's high branch, and she still can't bear to part with her old customers and old relationships."

Among all the courtesans in Yunjiang Old Courtyard, Xiao Nanyue was the most envied.

Most of the other courtesans sold their art and bodies, and were treated as precious toys by the rich and powerful. Even those who sold their art but not their bodies were secretly subscribed by wealthy customers. Only Xiao Nanyan took a different approach. Not only did she sell her art but not her body, she even refused to accept male customers. She only wore men's clothes to coax a group of inexplicable noble ladies and made a lot of money, and had no worries about food and clothing.

This makes the courtesans who appear to be aloof and glorious in front of others but have to refine their essence and energy behind the scenes look like clowns.

They are all prostitutes. The bitch Xiao can eat meat by hugging the noble ladies, chatting and laughing, coaxing and deceiving them. They serve the powerful and rich old men and fat pigs, and sometimes they even have to eat porridge. Who can stand it?
They are both enemies, but colleagues like Xiao Nanyue are sworn enemies.

When she was so confused as to hype up her CP with Mo Feng, many female anchors were waiting to see the joke, and some even thought darkly, if Mo Feng was an extremely ugly man, just look at how you would end up. Even if he was a normal person, would you be willing to give up your current wealth and connections to be someone else's slave?
can.

After Xiao Nanyue invited Mo Feng to her house in a lightning-fast manner, and then decisively followed him back to Moshangsang, the female anchors who were slow to realize the situation finally came to their senses.

Good boy! This bitch actually came ashore!
He was the top scholar! A famous hero in Jiangbei! And he was also the young master of Tianyi Pavilion!
It would be fine if the bitch got ashore and found a good family. The key point is that the fashions in Tianyi Pavilion are wonderful and they spend a lot of money every year. Now that the bitch marries there, even if she can never be the first wife, she will at least be a favored concubine. In other words, it is equivalent to them selling their smiles to make money, and then going to Tianyi Pavilion to buy clothes. The money flows into the hands of the young master, and then becomes pocket money for Xiao the bitch a month ago...

That is to say...

——Now this little bitch Xiao Nanyue is actually being raised by me!

The courtesans who had figured it out began to lose their defenses. The more they thought about it, the angrier they became. In order to make their ideas clear, they began to fight with each other. However, in the Huazhou entertainment industry, fighting with each other was already outdated.

The popular practice in the circle now is... buying press releases!

Without prior agreement, they all began to contact the tabloid editors with whom they had enjoyed working, and began to secretly spread rumors, attacking and smearing Xiao Nanyue.

Xiao Huakui has left Qionghua Terrace and is no longer protected by the industry. Within just two days, outrageous rumors spread, including those that were dirty, evil, ugly, and vicious.

The most vicious thing is that they secretly say that Xiao Nanyue is bisexual, and after being taken into the room by Jie Yuanlang, he must have tried to consolidate his favor.

The best way is to use the same methods as before, make friends with the old customers again, and then use words to seduce and lure these lonely ladies back home for their lovers to enjoy.

This rumor was extremely vicious and hit Xiao Nanyue directly in the sore spot.

In the room, the courtesan helplessly placed the few replies on the table and said apologetically, "I am incompetent. I am afraid that the relationship with the old client cannot be continued."

Li Bailong did not show any disappointment: "Is it because of the rumors in the market?"

"Not entirely, the main reason is that I already have a master."

Xiao Nanyan replied softly, "I was able to act as a broker before because I had a good reputation and was fair, so I could pass messages and act as a middleman. But now that everyone knows that I have given myself to you, I am yours. How can those wealthy merchants and high-ranking officials trust me to do things and pass messages again?"

Li Bailong smiled and said, "It's me who has caused trouble for you."

The courtesan took the initiative to step forward and massage his shoulders and neck: "Those are means of gathering intelligence and hiding identities. It's no pity to lose them, but they didn't help you, my lord."

The window in front of the desk was open, and one could see Jiang Lishu in the opposite room reviewing documents.

The two beauties looked at each other. Xiao Nanyue looked well-behaved and bowed her head gently. Then, under the gaze of her master, she moved closer to Li Bailong and closed the window again.

"..."

Li Bailong said helplessly: "If you provoke Master again, who knows what new tricks he will use today."

Xiao Nanyan said softly, "I am happy to do anything to repay you, my love."

This guy has a very strong sense of confrontation, as if he is confronting his master, trying to make his master furious and jealous, and he even enjoys giving out benefits crazily... Alas, stupid courtesan.

The courtesan said, "I would also like to thank you for asking for the pardon from King Zhao."

King Zhao sent two reply letters in the past two days.

The previous reply letter was in response to Li Bailong's previous request for help.

The lion had asked for armour, food, fodder, seals and official certificates, but none of them were given to him. Instead, he was told, "Stir it as you like. I want to see what kind of splash you can make from this big vat."

He also said, "If you really want support, you must make your case reasonably and we will give it to you at our discretion."

The emperor’s uncle is a good man.

Li Bailong had asked for a high price before, but what he actually wanted was the right to open fire freely. The emperor's uncle saw through his intention and not only acquiesced, but also added considerately, "If you really want supplies and manpower, I can give them to you."

It is really heartwarming to trust the people you employ.

After conquering the courtesan, he wrote the second letter.

Since the matter involved Bac Ninh, it had to be reported in advance. If the matter was exposed later and someone investigated, the emperor's uncle could be used as a pretext. When the emperor's uncle heard about this, he sent someone to deliver a blank pardon letter, which stated something like "pardoned so-and-so, and all Bac Ninh secret agents will not be investigated", and it was stamped with the golden seal of the minister of state and the private seal of King Zhao.

As long as Li Bailong fills in Xiao Nanyue's name, the Qi State agency will no longer have the right to pursue responsibility.

——In other words, if you sell this blank amnesty letter on the black market, the price will be inestimable.

"If I sell this blank amnesty letter to Bac Ninh, your country's sticking department will probably sort out all your affairs, dispose of all your files, erase all your identification and clues as a spy, and then send you directly to me, and maybe give you other goodies as well."

The moment he received the pardon letter, Li Bailong teased Xiao Nanyue with a smile.

Then he casually wrote her name. At that moment, Xiao Nanyan's heart was in turmoil, and her emotions were indescribable. For a short period of time, she even felt that Li Bailong was not as bad as she imagined.

The sun was shining at that time, reflecting his smile.

——Xiao Nanyue suddenly understood why her aunt fell in love with Qi.

Until Jiang Lishu suddenly appeared out of nowhere, laughing like a vicious dog snatching shit, and snatched the amnesty letter.

Facing the evil man's shouting, laughter, and despicable threats, Xiao Nanyue remained calm and said, "Please keep it for now, Grandma. This item is precious and should not be taken away by outsiders."

…I can only say that although Master has been acting all along, his defense must have been truly broken.

Li Bailong thought about the situation at that time, shook his head, and asked Xiao Nanyan: "Did Gao Bijin give you any information?"

"As for the one from yesterday, I have already reported it to you, my dear."

Yesterday, she went to deal with the remaining matters of Qionghua Terrace and met several guests who came here after hearing the news. One of them was the insider entrusted by Gao Bijin. The insider asked her whether she had a relationship with Li Bailong and asked her to please him and to stay hidden to find out why Li Bailong came to Huazhou.

Li Bailong nodded and asked, "How is the chain of evidence going?"

Xiao Nanyan showed an embarrassment: "Although I have tried my best to frame him, the governor is the deputy governor of this state, he is in a high position and has connections in the court. How can he bring down the officials of this city with these groundless accusations?"

“Just do it.”

Li Bailong said meaningfully: "Officials say whatever they want. After all, Gao Tongzhi was plotting to kill me, so there must be someone who ordered him to do so. If it wasn't Bei Ning, could it be Feng Lin Huoshan?"

At this moment, Junior Sister Xu called out from outside: "Senior Brother! Are you not busy? Lingyu Sect is here to visit!"

Li Bailong perked up and ordered, "You're busy, I'll go meet the guests."

The person who came was Senior Brother Xiong, who was already drinking tea in the flower hall.

Seeing him come in, Xiong Jingyan smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You have done something great. I didn't expect you to have such a hobby. I heard that someone accused you of writing "Legend of the Imperial Battle Heaven". It's actually related to the story."

Damn it! Is this how it feels when your friends and family in real life know about your masterpiece?
Li Bailong sighed and said, "It's hard to put it into words."

Senior Brother Xiong said with a smile: "Xiao Xu, the girl who entertained you when you came to our store, heard that you were actually Mo Feng, and she regretted it so much that she beat her chest and stamped her feet. These two days, she has been talking about the advantages of your book..."

"I've also read a copy." He couldn't hold back when he said this. "I didn't expect that Junior Brother also has such a delicate side. The love affairs and the girl's heart in the book are so vivid. Xiao Yu said that Mr. Mo Feng might have a delicate heart of a girl, so he can express the feelings of a girl as a man..."

Nonsense! My reputation is being damaged! I am not a cheating author!
Li Bailong was furious. He wanted to take revenge on his master for the humiliation and embarrassment he felt at that moment.

Fortunately, Senior Brother Xiong was kind enough not to tease me. He just took out a copy of "Langhuan Zhuan" and put it on the table: "Xiao Xu knew I was going to see you today, and begged me for a long time... Can you sign an autograph for her?"

Damn it! I have to sign for Yu Hua again!

Li Bailong angrily signed his real name to show Niu Zhi.

He pushed the book over and said, "Brother, you didn't come here for this, did you?"

"Just by the way." Xiong Jingyan put away the book, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What about the Oiran?"

"..."

Li Bailong just stared quietly.

Facing the gaze of his good brother, Xiong Jingyan said awkwardly: "...My superiors asked me to ask."

Li Bailong asked directly: "Which one is on top?"

Senior Brother Xiong seemed to be hesitant to speak, and even felt a little helpless, so he could only turn his head away.

Li Bailong complained, "No, aren't your superiors a bit too lenient? The Grand Minister of Agriculture only asked me not to get married for three years, so do they have to interfere if I take a courtesan as my maid?"

"... Junior brother misunderstood."

Xiong Jingyan whispered, "What the higher-ups mean is that you shouldn't just act casually, but should do more to give someone a sense of crisis and tension."

"..."

Li Bailong said angrily: "Are you guys crazy?"

No matter how he tried to probe or beg, Senior Brother Xiong kept his mouth shut and refused to say a single extra word. Seeing that he could not get anything out of him, Li Bailong sighed and said, "Is this what Senior Brother came for?"

“That’s the main purpose.”

With his status, Senior Brother Xiong was embarrassed to do such a nonsensical thing, so he continued, "Last time, Junior Brother came to discuss the transfer of minor criminals in the labor camp to Huazhou. The first batch of people arrived today. How should these people be placed?"

Li Bailong turned from anger to joy and smiled enthusiastically: "Hey, I suddenly feel that what your faction said makes sense. In the future, I will definitely do more to make someone feel more threatened and nervous!"

"..."

Senior Brother Xiong was dumbfounded.

Li Bailong had already jumped up, pumped his fist and said, "Great! Here comes the last piece of the puzzle!"

Only when you have power in your hands and people under your command can you get things done.

Seeing that he was confident, Xiong Jingyan could not help but ask, "What are you going to do? Are you really going to frame the prefect for colluding with the devil?"

"No." Li Bailong said embarrassedly, "I am not Fenglin Huoshan, so I am not very familiar with this kind of business. I plan to practice on the governor of this state first and falsely accuse him of having secret dealings with Beining."

Today's state is really like shit...
