Chapter 103
"Master, the pawnshop Li Chaofeng, the head of the caravan Zhang, and Captain Zhao of the Imperial City Army have sent us a letter to meet tonight. Lu Shi has confirmed that the wing room next to them has been booked in advance. It should be for It was reserved by Wang Rong, master, are you...going tonight?" Lu Yi knelt beside the bed, not daring to raise his head, and asked in a hoarse voice.
A sweaty hand stretched out and slowly opened the bed curtain, and inside was the pale Chu Lishu.
"Go, don't go tonight." Chu Li said in a bookish tone.
Lu Yi immediately said anxiously: "Master, I can."
"No, you stay here to recuperate." Chu Lishu stood up, his body was a little unsteady, he looked down at Lu Yi's face that was even more bloodless than his, and the smell of blood spreading from his body, and frowned slightly.
"Next time, when the side effects of Tianxuan Pill occur, don't come close to me. If I attack, you should defend or run away. You must protect yourself. I still need you to leave a useful body to help me."
"Master, it's my subordinates who are not good, but tonight's actions..." Lu Yi said anxiously.
"Everything has been arranged, and it's enough to have Lu Shi to assist." Chu Lishu said directly: "This is an order."
Lu Yi could only bow his head in response and backed out.
Chu Lishu asked his servants to fetch water for him to bathe in. Ever since he became a companion, the Hou Mansion has become more respectful to him, and the servants have become more obedient.
Chu Lishu was soaked in hot water to wash away the painful memories of yesterday's night, and the blue veins that were protruding from the pain were gradually relieved.
Thinking of Lu Shi hugging Lu Yi with red eyes after waking up, Chu Lishu was a little scared. Fortunately, Lu Yi knew martial arts, like an ordinary person... Thinking of this, Chu Lishu couldn't help but think of Lin Qingyang.
When it happened last month, Lin Qingyang was able to save his life under his own defensive instincts. He thought that Lin Qingyang would escape because he could gradually control himself, but he didn't expect... Maybe it was just Lin Qingyang's life. Qingyang was lucky.
However, the last attack, with him by my side, didn't seem to hurt that much. Maybe the way he took care of her was helpful.
It's a pity that losing consciousness can't ease the pain for him, and others will be attacked if he gets close to him. It seems that he can only bear it by himself.
Chu Lishu slowly closed his eyes. The day before yesterday Lin Qingyang took Lin Qinglan back to live in another hospital. Yesterday he hadn't seen him all day. Today... I don't know what he is doing.
After the bath was over, Chu Lishu changed his clothes and went straight to the Golden Phoenix Tower.
Jinfenglou has recently welcomed dancers from the Western Regions. Dancers from the Western Regions like to wear veils when dancing, so in order to meet the occasion, Jinfenglou has played some tricks. This time, you can get a A blindfold mask adds to the mystery.This kind of gameplay is quite popular with the guests. After all, some people really don't want others to know when they come here. With a mask, they can come here in a fair manner.
Chu Lishu put on a mask and walked in, and soon Lu Shi also appeared wearing a mask, leading Chu Lishu upstairs to the box on the other side of the third floor, waiting for the appointed time.
At the same time, Qi Yan had brought Lin Qingyang to the gate, paid the entrance fee, put on a mask and walked in.
After seeing the magnificence and magnificence of Jinfeng Tower, Lin Qingyang finally agreed with the reputation of the No. [-] Spring Tower in the capital.
This is really not at the same level as the Youting Building and Chunxiang Building he has been to.
Lin Qingyang remembered that in the original text, in order to obtain the largest information snooping agency, Chu Lishu directly tried to bring down the Jinfeng Building, making Chunxiang Building the number one Chunxiang Building.Looking at the current gap between the two floors, Lin Qingyang had to admire Chu Lishu's ability.
As soon as you walk into the gate, you will see an artificial river with various shapes of river lights floating in the river, and the river water against it is beautiful.There are boats on the river, either dancers or Legies, which is pleasing to the eye.
There are guest seats beside the river on both sides. The guests and the girls accompanying them are bustling with each other.
Looking forward, at the end of the river is a huge lotus-shaped stage, and the golden and pink echo each other, just like the lotus growing in the fairyland fairyland.From the surrounding high-rise buildings, the silk hanging down from the stage is decorated, and it looks even more fairy-like and full of extravagance.
At this time, the rumored dancers from the Western Regions were dancing together, accompanied by exotic dance music, making everyone feel like they were in another world.
"How? Is it worth it?" Qi Yan asked with a smile.
The corner of Lin Qingyang's mouth couldn't stop rising, "It's worth it!"
"The girls here are more worthy, but it's a pity, you don't like girls, but you can still appreciate beauties, let's go." Qi Yan waved his fan and led Lin Qingyang to the private seat on the second floor.
Lin Qingyang didn't bother arguing about whether he liked women or not. Anyway, he didn't want to come here for something, just to join in the fun.
When he came to the private seat, Qi Yan called two girls, both of whom were indeed beauties, the one who accompanied Qi Yan had already been hugged in his arms, and the girl who accompanied Lin Qingyang was very discerning. With Yangsi's gentle appearance, he just talked with him and poured wine, and he would not take the initiative to embarrass Lin Qingyang.
I heard that Lin Qingyang was here for the first time, so he began to gently introduce some of the wonderful features of Jinfeng Tower. Lin Qingyang sipped wine, listened to the beauties, and admired the dancers from the Western Regions below. It's rare to forget all the pressures that have been on my mind all the time, and I feel comfortable and enjoy it.
"So, these dancers on the main stage are really Tubo people, and they come here to show their performances and not their bodies? They don't sell them for how much money?" Qi Yan asked curiously when he heard them chatting.
"Yes, son."
"Pretentious, I don't believe it. Does your mother make money? It's just a question of how much money you have." Qi Yan didn't believe it.
"It's really impossible, no amount of money will help."
"If high-ranking officials come here and insist on their company, can your mother be offended?" Qi Yan didn't believe it.
"This is a rule set early in the morning, and it's not my mother who has the final say. Ordinary dignitaries...wouldn't make trouble in the Golden Phoenix Building. After all, our boss' surname is Xie."
Qi Yan was shocked for a moment, and suddenly remembered the identity of the boss behind the scene. If it was his rule, then the bustard would not dare to be greedy, and the rules could not be broken.
"Boss Xie sent people to buy these dancers. I believe everyone will give them face." Speaking of this, the girl couldn't help but feel proud.
Boss Xie, if the chairman of the largest chamber of commerce in the Great Zhou Dynasty is just a businessman, then that's fine, but you must know that the current queen mother is named Xie.
Relying on the empress dowager's noble status, the Xie family has grown into a surname that is almost comparable to the four major clans after two generations of emperors. It is known as the Xie family under the throne.
With the rapid development of the two generations of business, the Xie family has become a little bit smug, without the background and courage of the four major clans, it is easy to be proud of favors, get carried away with complacency, and usually do things without discipline, without fear.The local people complained a lot about what the Xie family did.
At that time, the first emperor was actually a little under the control of the powerful queen mother, so he turned a blind eye to the Xie family just like the previous emperor, which led to the dictatorship of his relatives and often disrupted the government.
The breakthrough of this matter was actually the young prince Yuan Ran at that time, and it was also the first time Yuan Ran showed his political talent and imperial means. At that time, he was only 13 years old, and he began to advise his father.
In Yuan Ran's eyes at that time, they were the royal family, and they were supported by all people, so they should put all people first, and they must not use their own privileges to seek personal gain, and the lawless behavior of bullying others like the Xie family is even more undesirable.
Under Yuan Ran's persuasion, the first emperor began to deal with it. At that time, the Xie family had already offended all the people in the court and the four major clans. Everything became logical.
Because of righteousness and killing relatives, the first emperor won the hearts of the people, and the reputation of the prince began to spread.
Although the queen mother has always shown that she is unwilling to watch her natal family do evil but is powerless to stop it, but she can't bear her natal family to perish. Finally, when she learned that her natal family was almost going to be executed, the queen mother took off her hairpin and knelt down at the gate of the palace. I beg for mercy, I hope to leave a lifeline for the Xie family.
The first emperor's heart softened, so he left the Xie family with a man who was studying outside and was not as weak as a crown.
But the crime has already been charged, so the Xie family, like the Liu family, will no longer be able to become an official from now on, but can only engage in business, and because he is the only relative of the empress dowager's natal family, everyone naturally gave enough convenience in secret , the business jumped up, and soon became the largest chamber of commerce in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and opened the Jinfeng Tower in the capital.
And this Boss Xie usually keeps a low profile and rarely shows up. The only time he shows up in the original text is when he learns that the Empress Dowager is about to die, and when the Empress Dowager dies, he disappears again. The power created by Li Shu replaced him, but Boss Xie's counterattack was not seen. It seemed that he was no longer alive or dead. Perhaps Boss Xie also understood that once the Queen Mother died, he would have no backing, and staying here would be a waste of time. He is also a shrewd person.
If he hadn't slipped away so fast, the hero probably wouldn't have let him go.
At this time, the boss behind the Golden Phoenix Tower was surnamed Xie, and he was the only family member of the Empress Dowager. If anyone dared to make trouble in the Golden Phoenix Tower, wouldn't that be slapping the Queen Mother in the face?The majesty of the Queen Mother is still there, and Emperor Zhou Qing respects her quite a bit, but not everyone can be offended.
But, there are always some ignorant clowns who don't know how deep the water behind it is, so they dare to jump into it.
While Qi Yan was chatting, there was a commotion below.
A drunken burly man jumped onto the stage and insisted on dragging away a dancer from the Western Regions. While forcibly pulling her away, he also threw money at the same time. His posture was that he insisted on buying her for a night.
At this time, the old bustard naturally stepped forward to persuade, but failed to appease, so he directly dispatched the nursing home to intimidate him. In the end, the guest was persuaded to leave by his companions by cursing.The singing and dancing stopped for a while.
There was a commotion below for a while, but it soon resumed.
Lin Qingyang withdrew his gaze and said, "It seems that there are quite a lot of brave people."
"They're all idiots with money but no power, from other places." Qi Yan said.
This kind of person doesn't know the surname of the boss behind the scene is Xie, or the identity of the boss. After all, no one dares to speak out about the Queen Mother's relatives, let alone blatantly use this to suppress people. Think about how the Xie family is. No, both the Empress Dowager and Boss Xie have to keep a low profile, so it's hard to say how to get revenge behind the scenes.
So Jinfeng Tower dare not really use its backer to scare people in public, but the powerful and powerful people in the capital know the inside story, and everyone knows it well, so naturally they dare not offend.As for those who have no power and power, if they offend, the old bustard can also handle it.
During the interval between watching the dance, Lin Qingyang went out to look for a toilet. Seeing that the Jinfeng Building was exquisitely built and quite interesting, he wandered around for a while.
Suddenly, a sudden cry for help came from the corner, because the entire Jinfeng Tower was immersed in the lively voices and music, and the call for help was so short that it hardly attracted anyone's attention. Lin Qingyang had to doubt himself I misheard and was about to leave, but I was still a little uneasy because the voice seemed to belong to a woman after all.
Lin Qingyang turned around and quietly approached the place where the sound came from, but he didn't see anything. He suddenly turned a corner and bumped into three people head-on.
It should be said that two men were carrying a drunk guest. The guest was wrapped in a cloak almost from head to toe and wore a mask specially for guests. He was carried past Lin Qingyang almost without touching the ground.
Lin Qingyang thought that this must be too much to drink.
It was strange, but suddenly there was a smell of incense powder, Lin Qingyang couldn't help but glanced sideways at the three people who were walking away, feeling something was wrong in his heart.
Suddenly, he thought of it, one of the men who just supported someone seemed to be the guy who just caused trouble.
Lin Qingyang contacted back and forth, thought of a possibility, and quickly followed up, but remembered that the two men just now seemed to be unable to fight even if something happened, so he directly pointed at the passing Guigong, pointing at the three men. : "I think there seems to be something wrong with the three guests. Maybe something happened to someone. You should send someone to look at it."
After Mr. Gui heard this, he hurried to report to the steward, and after a while the steward brought the nurse to the private seat on the second floor.
At this time, Lin Qingyang also came to the second floor to observe secretly.
The person in charge knocked on the door with someone, and there was an impatient voice from inside, but the door was quickly opened.
"You guys are endless, do you want to drive away customers!"
The person in charge saw that the guest who had just caused trouble also had a headache, and stepped forward and said, "Sorry, guest, someone saw that something happened to your people just now. We are afraid that you will be in trouble, so we came to take a look, no Know……"
"What happened, who is talking nonsense? The three of us are obviously fine! Are you blind?"
The steward was taken aback for a moment, and looked around, and there were indeed three people sitting inside drinking.
From Lin Qingyang's angle, he could also see the three people inside. They were not wearing masks, but were showing their faces, drinking wine openly, and none of them looked like they had just died from drinking.
Lin Qingyang was also in a daze.
The person in charge immediately apologized, and after being scolded for a long time, he swallowed his anger and backed out. The manager naturally vented his anger on the turtle slave, and the turtle slave was also wronged, but at this moment he had no time to ask Lin Qingyang to come out and explain. He was taught a lesson by the manager.
Lin Qingyang was leaning on the corridor and frowning, no, he remembered, the person who was carried away just now was not big, not tall, and none of the three people inside had such a body type, what the hell is going on? What's going on?
Lin Qingyang was puzzled and was thinking about it when he suddenly saw something shiny under the closed door of the private seat next door. Lin Qingyang walked closer and saw it was a Western Region style earring.
Lin Qingyang still wanted to find someone in charge, but thinking about the situation just now, it was probably too much, thinking about it, anyway, there are so many people here, probably nothing will happen, so he just planned to go in and have a look.
There was no response to knocking on the door, so after confirming that it was not a guest's private seat, he pushed the door open and entered.
Soon a figure was seen on the chaise longue in the corner.
Taking a closer look, a dancer from the Western Regions was lying in a black cloak and placed in a chaise longue. She seemed to have fallen into a coma. As expected, those two people just put her here.
Lin Qingyang wanted to go up and call for someone, but after thinking about it, he decided not to get angry, so he turned around and went to find the supervisor, but suddenly a scream came from behind.
Lin Qingyang was startled by the sharp cry. Looking back, she didn't expect that the dancer had woken up. Her face was pale, and with her arms around her, she looked at Lin Qingyang in horror, "You...you treat me What have you done?"
Lin Qingyang: ...Suddenly there is an ominous premonition.
"I didn't do anything, I found out..."
In the end, before Lin Qingyang could finish speaking, the young woman seemed to have been greatly wronged suddenly, and she fell into a breakdown and yelled. Lin Qingyang was panicked by her, and hurriedly turned around and explained: "I I'm not the one who kidnapped you, I'm here to rescue you, calm down and see clearly, am I one of those people?"
But no matter how Lin Qingyang explained, the woman had gone crazy, her temper was still very hot, and she started throwing things in the room. Lin Qingyang didn't respond at first, and was hit on the forehead by a cup, although the rest escaped , but it is also difficult to escape.
After such a delay, the private seat was immediately surrounded by people who heard the voice, and after a while, all the bustards in charge rushed over.
Even if Lin Qingyang retreated to the corridor, he was surrounded tightly.
At this time, Chu Lishu, who was in the room on the third floor, suddenly heard the ten monsters called out.
"What's the matter? Someone is coming?"
"No... no, master! That guy Lin Qingyang actually came out to drink flower wine behind your back, and... and forced to sleep with someone else's dancer from the Western Regions, and he was caught!"
As soon as Lu Shi finished speaking, he felt a chill hit him, and when he turned his head, Chu Lishu had already appeared beside him, looking coldly at the situation on the second floor opposite.
His dark complexion can be seen even with the mask on.
With just one glance, Chu Lishu recognized Lin Qingyang's back in the crowd.
Why did this guy come here!
