Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Shi Liu looked at the cheering crowd below the stage, then glanced at the sincere look in Young Master Lu's eyes, and nodded shyly.

On the surface, Shiliu forgave Young Master Lu, but seeing Shiliu still standing on the left side of the stage, Lin Yaoxie knew that Shiliu's heart was not completely open.

Young Master Lu picked up a wooden sword and began to practice. With a drunken mind, he recalled the mountains and rivers he had traveled through and the sword techniques he had learned. Every move seemed to depict the winding course of famous rivers, and every step he took seemed to embody the towering grandeur of the Five Sacred Mountains.

"The sword gleams coldly, a man's ambition is to roam the world; the moonlight is cold, a traveler gazes at his reflection and thinks of his beloved." Young Master Lu recited unknown poems and songs from the bottom of his heart as he wielded his sword.

Lin Yaoxie looked at Shiliu, who was staring in disbelief, and thought to himself, "This person is still attracted to this kind of person again."

As Young Master Lu drew the last circle, let out a long whistle, and then sheathed his sword, Shi Liu walked to the far right of the stage and touched the wooden sword.

Chapter 50 Auspicious Opening (4)

As Shiliu touched the sword on the far right, Lu Gongzi and Shiliu gazed at each other tenderly. The audience below the stage was also stunned by Lu Gongzi's sword dance just now, and the entire Demon Hall fell silent for a moment.

"Let's give a round of applause to Young Master Lu!" Lin Yaoxie shouted from below the stage.

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience, and the entire Demon Brothel was engulfed in a sea of ​​enthusiasm, with customers and prostitutes alike cheering and jeering.

"Young master's swordsmanship is truly magnificent, sister, why don't you give yourself to him?" a lovely-looking prostitute exclaimed.

"Truly worthy of being the face of swordsmanship in our Suzhou city! Let's give this prize to him, Boss Lin," said a sycophant.

"Young Master Lu, come and have three drinks with me. I won't let you go to bed sober tonight," a man whose stature was no less than Young Master Lu's called out enthusiastically.

Lin Yaoxie saw that Shiliu was giving him a meaningful look, and he could only helplessly return her a smile.

"It seems everyone has no objections. So I hereby declare the winner of the first round of today's opening ceremony to be this sword-dancing master, Young Master Lu!" Lin Yaoxie walked onto the stage and announced loudly to the audience.

Upon hearing this, Young Master Lu eagerly walked towards Shiliu. Shiliu's face, like that of a ripe fruit, shyly extended her hand to Young Master Lu.

"It seems that Young Master Lu and Shiliu are quite fond of each other, but we can't let them spend the night together right now, can we?" Lin Yaoxie wanted to further warm up the atmosphere, so he hinted to Young Master Lu to help him out.

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience, and the entire Demon Brothel was engulfed in a sea of ​​enthusiasm, with customers and prostitutes alike cheering and jeering.

"Young master's swordsmanship is truly magnificent, sister, you should just give yourself to him!" a lovely prostitute exclaimed.

"Truly worthy of being the face of swordsmanship in our Suzhou city! Let's give this prize to him, Boss Lin," said a sycophant.

“Young Master Lu, come and have three drinks with me. I won’t let you go to bed sober tonight,” a man whose stature was no less than Young Master Lu’s called out enthusiastically.

Chapter 5H - Auspicious Opening (5)

The high-ranking officials and nobles of Suzhou were not the uncultured bumpkins from the countryside. Even when Lin Yaoxie's Yaoxie Pavilion brought out nine girls, each no less than the top courtesans from various places, the officials and nobles in the audience could still pretend to be calm.

But when they heard Lin Yaoxie mention the top-tier courtesan, the entire Yaoxiefang was filled with an atmosphere of impatience. Those young masters who had been drinking heavily rushed to the toilet, just to sober up and open their eyes wide to see what kind of beauty this young lady was really.

"Greetings, gentlemen, I am Ru Hua." The moment Ru Hua stepped onto the stage, her beauty astonished all the men in the hall. Ru Hua was like the embodiment of every man's dream lover.

If her previous appearance as the Lord of Ghosts, with her beautiful face and elegant demeanor, could be somewhat criticized for her lack of color, then her current perfect body, built upon Lin Yaoxie's astonishing cultivation, is like a full moon.

The men present were all worried that this masterpiece of divine craftsmanship might one day be discovered by God and taken back.

040 From the high-ranking officials and nobles present, down to the fifteen-year-old Rabbit Boy and the fifty-year-old Grandpa who was about to retire from the world, without exception, they were all captivated by Ru Hua's smile and gesture. Even Zhao Gongzi, who had been wandering among the beauties, recalled the restless feeling in his heart when he was in his first love.

"How long has it been, how long has it been? When will we meet again? This night, this moment, is so hard to bear." Tears welled up in Zhao Gongzi's eyes. After having tasted the beauty of spring, he once thought that all love and longing in the world were just empty words concocted by pedantic scholars.

But the moment he saw Ruhua, Zhao Gongzi racked his brains but couldn't find any words to express his inner thoughts. The sweet nothings he had whispered to famous courtesans in various brothels in Suzhou, and the flirtatious words he had uttered to tease young girls in spring, all vanished. All that remained were the simple words brought to him by his first love, who had brought him feelings of first meeting, falling in love, longing, and parting.

That was a time when the single word "love" could encapsulate all their feelings; it was a time when they sat by Taihu Lake all day without tiring of happiness; it was also a time of heart-wrenching, numbing pain.

All the high-ranking officials and nobles recalled their most unforgettable love, while the fledglings cheered as if they had seen the phoenix they had longed for their whole lives, as if they had lost their minds.

"Now it's my turn to perform. Please forgive my lack of skill, gentlemen." Her slender arms, like orchids in bloom, held up before her.

On the seven-stringed guqin.

"A tale of joys and sorrows, of partings and reunions." Young Master Zhao's tears flowed like a burst dam. "I seek sweet dreams, but dreams are hard to come by; who knows my feelings at this moment; tears on my pillow mingle with the rain before the curtain, dripping through the window until dawn. Miss Ruhua, why must you bring me such sweet dreams again!"

As Ru Hua played the zither and sang loudly, Lin Yaoxie finally realized that everything the former Ghost Lord had said was true. A beautiful courtesan from the capital, whose singing skills were unparalleled, was now standing right in front of him.

The dignitaries and wealthy young men in the hall wept, grieved, raised their glasses in joy, and gazed at each other with tears in response to the changing melody of the music. Everyone was manipulated by Ru Hua's music, becoming puppets who obeyed her commands and performed at her command.

If the music played by the six sisters was merely mesmerizing and beautiful, then Ru Hua's performance completely captivated everyone's hearts. Ru Hua's ability to become the queen of all the famous courtesans in Suzhou was precisely due to her unparalleled skills as a renowned courtesan from the capital and her naturally beautiful appearance. (aefe)

"My dear wife, I miss you so much! Why did you leave me all alone?" An old man of about fifty years old pounded the table and cried out loudly.

"Sister Ruhua, please look at me!" a young man pleaded desperately.

"If I had known it would be so heartbreaking, I would have preferred never to have met you! Miss Ruhua, really... sigh..." Young Master Zhao sighed repeatedly as he looked at the stunningly beautiful Ruhua on the stage.

Meanwhile, on the second floor, Young Master Lu looked at the almost frenzied crowd in the hall, glanced at Ru Hua on the stage and Shi Liu in his arms, and thought that if he hadn't seen Shi Liu sooner, perhaps his heart would have been captivated as well.

Shiliu noticed the slight inner turmoil in Young Master Lu's heart, but she felt neither discouraged nor jealous, because the sisters she worked with in the hall were also captivated by this angelic beauty.

Ru Hua's charm is the opposite of Zhao Ling'er's. Zhao Ling'er is someone who inspires awe in everyone present without them even realizing it, while Ru Hua makes everyone want to pour all their love into her.

Neither of them possessed charm that could be simply attributed to natural beauty. Zhao Ling'er lived her life as a descendant of Nuwa, earning respect and admiration from people. This naturally evoked the aura of the "Human King," causing people to instinctively want to respect her from the bottom of their hearts.

Ru Hua was born with natural beauty, and everything she did was sung and praised by people just like Diao Chan under the moon, Zhao Jun leaving the border, Xi Shi washing silk, and Yang Guifei drunk. Every minute and second of her life as a famous courtesan in the capital absorbed and exuded the atmosphere of love.

Everyone was so engrossed in the music that they only realized their lapse in decorum when Ru Hua stopped. However, no one made any attempt to straighten their appearance or feign politeness, because everyone's face was radiant with the glow of love. If anyone could witness this scene, they could shamelessly claim to have seen the most first loves.

Lin Yaoxie had no intention of becoming that kind of person, but he was the only one who remained calm. Although he could make a lot of money by sending out prostitutes, he had no choice but to go on stage for the sake of his plan.

"It seems that there is no need to vote for this month's top courtesan, just like today's sword dance champion. Although I feel very sorry for the remaining nine girls, this month's top courtesan is this beautiful girl."

Upon hearing Lin Yaoxie's words, the entire hall erupted in thunderous applause once again, accompanied by various declarations of love such as "I love you, Ruhua girl."

It's safe to say that if someone were to shout, "I object," everyone in the room who had just become fans of Ru Hua would tear him to pieces; the persistent frenzy clearly enveloped the hall.

Chapter 52 Auspicious Opening (6)

"It's terrifying..." Looking at the heated atmosphere below the stage, Lin Yaoxie couldn't help but look at Ruhua, the terrifying beauty who had single-handedly created such a scene of a cult gathering, the original Ghost Lord.

Ru Hua blinked her bright eyes at Lin Yaoxie, as if seeking his praise. After all, Ru Hua knew that only when she revealed this skill would Lin Yaoxie truly believe in her abilities as a famous courtesan of the capital, no, a peerless courtesan. Before this, Ru Hua had been holding back a lot of anger, wanting to prove herself.

Lin Yaoxie saw the meaning in Ru Hua's eyes, so he mouthed, "Good, good, good, Miss Ru Hua is absolutely right." Then he smiled and turned to the audience.

"Gentlemen, are you satisfied with our top courtesan and first-class geisha from the Demonic Pavilion?" Lin Demonic asked the audience.

"This is driving me crazy!"

"Quickly, bring the madam out here! I can't hold back any longer!"

"The most famous brothel in Suzhou, Yaoxiefang."

"Is this an insult to Miss Ruhua and other geishas? You could call Yaoxiefang the number one brothel in the world!"

Lin Yaoxie watched as the first two parts thoroughly heated up the atmosphere, thinking that this was the beginning of the third part of the opening ceremony, which was the final step to achieve his most important goal in opening this Yaoxie Pavilion.

"Please be patient, everyone. You'll have your chance to vent your anger soon. I, Lin Yaoxie, am not the kind of rude kid who likes to leave people in suspense." Lin Yaoxie said, then clapped his hands.

Everyone anxiously looked around, wondering what was about to happen. After all, last time Lin Yaoxie clapped his hands, he brought them ten beautiful women who looked delicious. This time, the clapping might actually bring them beauties they could actually get their hands on!

As Lin Yaoxie's applause rang out, four groups of beautiful women emerged from the four corners of the room, each led out by several madams.

"Let me introduce them. Those dressed mainly in cyan are the lowest-ranking prostitutes, followed by those dressed mainly in red. The top-ranking prostitute, Shiliu, from the first project, is in the same class as those dressed mainly in gold. Those dressed in indigo are determined to become geishas. You can tell their class by looking at their clothes," Lin Yaoxie explained patiently.

The high-ranking officials and wealthy young men immediately began to scrutinize the prostitutes present. Although their clothes varied according to their personal styles, just as Lin Yaoxie had said, even if the styles were the same, prostitutes wearing different colored clothes had different appearances and demeanors.

"Even the lowest-ranking prostitute in blue is quite remarkable." Although Young Master Zhao had traveled all over the brothels of the Jiangnan region, he had never encountered a brothel where even the lowest-ranking prostitute could arouse his desires. Yaoxiefang was the first such brothel.

Young Master Zhao looked at the others around him, and they all shared the same thought as him: they were all amazed by the overall high level of skill of the prostitutes in the Demon Brothel.

If Miss Ruhua's top-notch skills were like the most dazzling ingredient in a dish, then the remaining prostitutes of Yaoxiefang were telling all the dignitaries present that Yaoxiefang's dish was top-notch from beginning to end.

Just as the audience was marveling at the power of Lin Yaoxie, the master of Yaoxiefang, the protagonist himself began to explain.

"Clearly, those ten women don't belong to the class mentioned above. As mentioned in the second program, they are selected from the prostitutes in the audience each month. Of course, they also have the right to choose whether or not to sell themselves."

Looking at the excited crowd below the stage, Lin Yaoxie suddenly said with feigned regret, "Next, there's some bad news: those ten first-class geishas won't be entertaining guests tonight."

Upon hearing that the ten stunningly beautiful courtesans would not be making a comeback, the high-ranking officials and wealthy young men were somewhat disappointed. Seeing this, Lin Yaoxie seized the opportunity to reveal his plan.

"Of course, we at Yaoxiefang also have good news to tell you all: if the courtesans and gentlemen wish to redeem themselves, Yaoxiefang will absolutely not stop them."

"And to make up for everyone's disappointment, I announce that you gentlemen can now freely choose any prostitute you like from the audience. If you reach a consensus within the time it takes to exchange ideas for half an incense stick's time, you can redeem your beloved prostitute at four-fifths of the price of a regular brothel."

"In other words, if that gentleman can win the hearts of those ten first-class geishas during this quarterly event, whatever he does after redeeming them, our Demonic Pavilion will not interfere or obstruct him!" Lin Demonic smiled confidently as he explained the last event of the opening ceremony in great detail.

0oo is asking for flowers.....

Upon hearing Lin Yaoxie's words, the entire Yaoxiefang Hall erupted in a heated discussion.

The quality was already far superior, and now there's no limit to discounts on redemption? How could such a good thing exist?

"So, even though the chances are slim, we still have a chance to get close to this beautiful young lady?"

Watching the people around him discussing enthusiastically, Young Master Zhao was also impressed by Lin Yaoxie's generosity. After all, prostitutes were undoubtedly the most important resource of a brothel. If a competitor wanted to attack Yaoxie Fang, they could easily snatch away a large number of them simply by bringing out a Casanova of Young Master Zhao's caliber.

0 .... 0

Now, Lin Yaoxie is essentially declaring that he, Lin Yaoxie, has all these resources, and anyone who has the ability can take them. Even the well-informed Young Master Zhao can't help but admit that Lin Yaoxie does indeed have considerable ability. Of course, the high-ranking officials and wealthy young men led by Young Master Zhao have no idea where this strength comes from.

"So, I, Lin Yaoxie, the owner of Yaoxiefang, hereby officially announce that Yaoxiefang is officially open for business from today onwards. Everyone can start looking for their own haven of gentle comfort tonight."

Seeing the atmosphere below the stage reignited and the high-ranking officials and wealthy young men looking around for their favorite type of prostitutes with an air of self-satisfaction, Lin Yaoxie was certain that everything he had planned and executed today had not been in vain, and that his plan had already succeeded more than halfway.

Just then, Young Master Lu and Shi Liu, who had come down from the second floor, walked towards Lin Yaoxie with shy expressions.

"Boss Lin Yaoxie, there's something I need to tell you." Shi Liu said to Lin Yaoxie with a blushing face.

"Yes, after hearing Boss Lin's declaration, I made up my mind to redeem Shiliu. Please grant me permission, Boss." Young Master Lu's face was as red as Shiliu's, and combined with his slightly brownish skin, his whole face looked like a monkey's bottom. The two, their faces flushed, waited quietly for Lin Yaoxie's reply.

Chapter 53 Auspicious Opening (7)

Looking at the two of them, who seemed like newlyweds, Lin Yaoxie knew that Shiliu had already hooked the first fish. So he said, "I, Lin Yaoxie, may not have a very good reputation in Suzhou, but I still consider myself a man of my word. I'm sure Young Master Lu heard what I just said."

"Of course, I've already decided on Shiliu's feelings, and I'm just waiting for your approval, young master." Young Master Lu said, bowing and scraping. This man, who was usually as upright as an iron will, had completely abandoned his dignity in front of Lian'ai.

"It seems you weren't listening at all..." Lin Yaoxie said mysteriously.

Young Master Lu was startled and completely flustered, not knowing how to answer.

"Didn't I just say that as long as two people are in love, all the prostitutes in the Demon Brothel can be redeemed? If you want to redeem '040,' you should go to the madam in charge of Shiliu, not me. If Young Master Lu continues to be so rude, don't blame me for getting angry." Lin Demon Brothel said with a polite smile while taking Young Master Lu and Shiliu's hands.
