Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 294 The Red Sleeve Building

In addition to Cheng Pu who took the lead to go to the battlefield, according to Ji Ling, there will be troops moving between Yangzhou and Yuzhou in the past few days, and some old militiamen will be sent to the cities, and then the elite will be transferred back to Jiangdong, preparing to participate in the battle against Xuzhou war.

This is a one-off effort.

Wang Zheng nodded and looked at Gu Jiandao: "This is for pre-war preparations. Don't be surprised. Our Heavenly Army has to practice hard these few days. Even if we don't go into battle immediately, we must not relax."

Gu Jian respectfully promised that he would go to the Tianjun barracks again. Wang Zheng thought about it and added: "You will stay in the barracks these days, and don't leave the barracks if you have nothing to do. For general matters, arrange for your own soldiers to pass the report. If there is any urgent matter, go to my residence and wait."

He discussed some preparations with Ji Ling and others, and read some files. Wang Zheng was about to return to the mansion. Seeing this, Ji Ling threw the sketch of the map aside, and quickly called him, saying: "General Wang is young. Promising, brave and good at fighting, it can be said that you are good at everything, no wonder Zhou Mu also commented that you are good at fighting, wise and brave, but there is a fly in the ointment, I have an opinion, do you want to hear it or not?"

It seemed to be a critical tone, but looking at Ji Ling's smiling face, it was clearly meant as a joke, Wang Zheng shrugged helplessly, and said:

"If Brother Ji has advice, it's okay to say it, Zheng will listen to it."

"You know, the general." Ji Ling and the people around him looked at each other, and said, "These days when you came to Shouchun, most of the reviews in the public are four words."

"Oh," Wang Zheng asked, "Which four characters?"

"Rely on your talents!"

"Where does this start?"

Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows. After all, Yangzhou is not his own territory. Speaking of which, he has a restrained style of conduct, but he is not as overbearing as his own. He is considered humble and polite.

How did you get such an evaluation?
"I heard that in the past few days, I don't know how many people admire the prestige of the general, and they invite you to dinner every day, but you push them away." Ji Ling teased: "I know you are busy, Plus, hey, young and vigorous, the state shepherd presents beauties as gifts, so he is greedy for gentleness and singing every night, but it's not good to be so inhumane."

Wang Zheng didn't expect that what he said was actually this matter, and he felt very helpless for a while.

After all, he lived in Yangzhou as a guest, and his identity was just an ally after all, but these civil and military officials were all Yuan Shu's subordinates. The reason why he didn't want to go to the banquet was naturally because he didn't want to arouse Yuan Shu's suspicion.

It's just that these reasons can only be understood, not explained in words. After staying for a while, he reluctantly explained: "Brother Fu Yi is serious, I am this"

"It's fine if the others don't go to the banquet." Ji Ling smiled and said: "Now you are the coach of Guangling Road, and the brothers in the cousin will serve you in the future, so don't hurt our hearts."

"We have already made an appointment. Today, you took office for the first time, and you have already held a banquet at the Hongxiu Building. I would like to invite the general to attend the banquet."

"I don't know if you have heard about the general coming to Shouchun in the past few days." Before Wang Zheng refused, Ji Ling blinked ambiguously, and he said: "The head of Hongxiulou belongs to Yan, but she is now the most popular famous prostitute in Yangzhou. "

Do you think I came to Yangzhou to pick up girls?
"Brother Fu Yi is kind enough." Wang Zheng couldn't help but laugh: "It's just that the big battle is imminent, and there are so many things that need to be sorted out one by one. I really can't get away. How about this, after we conquer Guangling and return victorious, let's indulge ourselves Let’s talk about it, how about when Zheng comes to be the host?”

"What's more, Fu Yi, didn't you just suggest to Yuan Zhoumu that officials should be prohibited from trespassing in places to buy sex, why are you now?"

"Yang Hong said it's all right, and my lord agreed, so why should I restrain myself?" Ji Ling rolled his eyes, and said, "General Wang, why do you keep pushing? I've already told my lord about the banquet tonight, so don't worry about it! "

Wang Zheng's heart moved, and he glanced sideways at Ji Ling.

I didn't see that this person had a rough appearance, but he was a careful person.

Since the other party was thoughtful, he put aside the suspicion for himself first, and Wang Zheng could not refuse, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Not long after, everyone left the state capital with their own soldiers.

It was already the time when the lights came on, but the streets were bustling with pedestrians. After all, in terms of prosperity, Shouchun is naturally far better than Langya, Pengcheng and other places.

Especially Zhangtai Street, where there are many brothels and taverns in the city, is said to be a street, but it is actually a business district formed by the intersection of several alleys. Wang Zheng looked around, but saw that the flow of people was much more than when he went out early.

While thinking, under the guidance of Ji Ling, he had unknowingly galloped to the outer wall of a brightly lit tall building.

There is a shadow of a carriage in the interior, and the sound of men and women teasing and laughing can be heard.

Wang Zheng raised his eyes and saw that there were two or three floors high, and each floor was hung with bright red lanterns. In the night, the entire building was glowing red.There were several rooms upstairs with windows open, and the figures of showgirls and dancers could be seen faintly.

"This is Hongxiulou, the largest private brothel in Shouchun City."

With a mocking smile, Ji Ling glanced at Wang Zheng: "General, what do you think?"

"Since it's time to look for flowers, it's time to talk about drinking and drinking, and talk about love and sorrow." Wang Zheng said indifferently: "There is only a distinction between the host and the guest, why bother to claim an official position and let this spring scene be contaminated with official air?"

"Brother Fu Yi, and all the other brothers are older than me, just call Yu Kou." He glanced at the door couplets on both sides of the building, and said with a smile: "Cut it as acacia quilt, and wear it as long-term lovesickness."

"It's a wonderful speech, and this alone has already made Zhengda students look forward to it."

Although Ji Ling seldom set foot in such places, as a county lieutenant, he can be regarded as the head of public security and defense in Spring City. He may not know these low-level characters, but others dare not forget his appearance.

The expressions of the villains guarding the gate changed drastically, and then they ran forward bowing and bowing, welcoming them in with smiles all over their faces.

Ruanrou Township is a tomb of heroes, and Wang Zheng had a deep experience of it not long after he set foot there.

The most attractive thing about wild flowers is the instant food, especially these private brothels, which are quite different from government prostitutes, full of a transactional atmosphere where you buy and sell.

Although he was an otaku in his previous life, because of his work, he had never been to bars and other entertainment places. However, since time travel, it was the first time to visit such brothels, and he couldn't help feeling fresh.

While he was savoring his feelings, Ji Ling laughed out loud, glanced around, and suddenly raised his voice, shouting:
"The distinguished guest has arrived, where is the master?"

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and after the election, countless eyes turned over.

Wang Zheng looked around and saw that although these people were also wearing casual clothes, they could still be seen at a glance, most of them were members of the army, so he couldn't help curling his lips secretly.

Yuan Shu's rule of the army is indeed not rigorous.

Soldiers also have human desires and needs to be satisfied, but the war is about to remain so slack, and the decadence of military discipline can be seen.
As for combat power, I'm afraid it's not much stronger.

Since he is a member of the army, he has a tough personality and acts domineering. The original intention of the other guests was to see who was so reckless and wanted to teach them a lesson, but when they recognized Ji Ling as the leader, they immediately either bowed their heads or Turning around, pretending to be ignorant.

There is no way, Ji Ling's status in Yuan Shu's army can be imagined if he can be the captain of Shouchun County, but at this time, there are really not many people in Shouchun City except Yuan Shu, Yan Xiang, Zhao Xun and others Greater officials and higher status than others.

"General Ji is here?"

At this time, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes, accompanied by two young beauties with excellent charm and gorgeous dresses, trotted up to greet him and said: "It's really a rare visitor."

"Han Fu, you old tortoise." Glancing at the man, Ji Ling snorted and scolded, "What's the point? You have to call him personally!"

"The general doesn't know something." Seeing that Ji Ling's face changed suddenly, the man bowed to the end, and hurriedly explained: "In the past few days, countless people and horses have come to the city, and even the building has become more and more busy. The villain dare not be negligent, he always wants to pay attention to family visits, and he is afraid of being impolite. He is so busy that he hits the back of his head."

As he spoke, he smiled again and again at the people behind Ji Ling, but was startled when he saw Wang Zheng.

who is this?

He searched for memories in his mind for a long time, but he still couldn't see what kind of official position and background he was. It took him a while before he smiled and said: "The villain's eyes are clumsy, this one"

"This is Xuzhou Inspector Wang Zheng." Ji Lingzhi explained directly when he was confused.

"It turned out to be the Inspector Wang." Han Fu hurriedly bowed again, and said, "It's an honor for the honored guest to come, the villain Han Fu."

Wang Zheng nodded with a smile, and the eyes of the beautiful woman on the right suddenly lit up, and she said with a smile: "My concubine Lin'er, if I knew the governor was coming, we would have to dress up so that the nobleman would favor us."

"Oh." Ji Ling glanced at her and snorted coldly, "Does that mean no one will pay attention to me when I come here?"

"General Ji really knows how to joke." Another Yan Shu immediately winked at him, and said in a friendly voice: "You come here once a year, and I have long wanted to accompany you, okay?" Wang Zheng said with another glance : "Lei'er, my concubine, please give me some advice from Inspector Wang."

Ji Ling pouted, then looked at Han Fu and asked, "Is everyone here?"

"I've come here a long time ago. The villain followed the general's instructions and arranged it in the cabinet building." Han Fu ordered the left and right: "You two go with you nobles."

Guided by the maidservant, Wang Zheng and his party passed a long corridor and stepped into a courtyard. The music and people in the front yard gradually became inaudible.Even under the lights, you can still see a lot of flowers and various bonsai in the courtyard, which is elegant, quiet and thoughtful.In the center of the courtyard, there are fish ponds and artificial stone mountains. The green grass and the singing of insects and cicadas make it difficult to associate it with the fireworks venue.

The two beautiful maidservants leading the way whispered to each other from time to time, whispered and smiled coquettishly, and even turned their heads and smiled coquettishly, trying their best to tease everyone.

Wang Zheng is naturally the focus of attention.

Although his appearance is ordinary, but he is young and majestic, and the charm given by the system makes him look quite majestic, and his appearance is not bad, especially when there are rough-looking military officers like Ji Ling by his side On the contrary, it looks quite handsome.

In addition, there is also a title of governor, this kind of person is already a noble person to the sky for ordinary people, power, wealth and power are the most attractive things, and a woman who comes out to make fun of her will naturally be able to climb a relationship with him proud of.

Since the incident, most of the people around him are in awe. It is rare for Wang Zheng to experience this kind of "public opinion" that pleases and obeys, and he can't help feeling secretly.

No wonder it is said that "everything is inferior, only reading is high".

In a peaceful and prosperous age, this is the only way for most people to become officials, but once they are out of the grass, all the glory after improving their social status is really very beautiful.

Turning around the stone mountain, a two-story independent courtyard appeared in front of me. Dozens of guards were guarding the entrance, and I don't know who was accompanying them. Although they were only allowed to stand outside the door, they were not lonely. They were with a group of beautiful maidservants. Flirtatious, very lively.

Until Wang Zheng and the others came, especially when they saw Ji Ling, they immediately became quiet and immediately moved out of the way.

"The Hongxiu Tower is the first floor on Zhangtai Street." Zhi Wangzheng came here for the first time, and Ji Ling explained while leading the way: "There are outer buildings and cabinets. Of course, the outer buildings can be rich, but this cabinet is only for people. Greet civil and military people in the state, without official status, let alone come in, and you may not even know that there is such a place."

Wang Zheng nodded to show he knew, but thought in his heart:
"It's nothing more than differentiated treatment and differentiated marketing."

As the maidservant announced the arrival of the honored guest, everyone walked into the brightly lit hall. At this time, in the spacious hall, there were two seats on the left and right, filled with food and wine, and seven or eight people were already seated. When people came, they stood up and saluted happily, and bowed their hands in response. The prostitutes who served the wine also knelt and kowtowed, with a humble attitude.

Wang Zheng scanned around, and many people met them for the second time. The first time was at the Yuan Shujun meeting.

Two of them were acquaintances, and it was the one who talked about him as "Qingzhou Shuzi" outside the hall that day. After being introduced by Ji Ling, I found out that one was named Xu Yi and the other was named Li Ren.

After the ceremonies were finished, the host and guest were seated. At this time, Han Fu came over again and asked with a smile, "General Ji, do you see that everyone is here?"

Ji Ling nodded without saying much, and said directly: "Serve wine and food!" Then he looked at Han Fu and mocked: "I know you are busy, so I won't bother you to accompany me, get back into your tortoise shell go!"

That Han Fu was not angry either, he nodded and bowed and led the door out.

Looking at his figure, Ji Ling showed disdain, and couldn't help but pooh: "A dignified man, you actually humiliated your ancestors with such a cheap job, and it's a good thing he is working so hard all day long!"

"Brother Fu Yi, that's wrong." Xu Yi said with a smile, "This Han Fu is doing a big business, how can he be called a lowly slave?"

"It's all about opening a brothel." Ji Ling squinted his eyes and snorted, "Is it still a big deal?"

"Hey, do you know how much money this Hongxiu Mansion earns in January?"

"How many?"

"I estimate that it can almost catch up with the annual tax of a county!"

Wang Zheng raised his sword eyebrows when he heard the words, but Ji Ling didn't quite believe it, and said, "Old Xu, why are you defrauding me with lies for no reason?"

"Who lied to you?" Xu Yigang wanted to explain, but Wang Zheng waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid this statement is true."

He is a future traveler, so he naturally knows that this brothel has another name, it is called the Golden Cave.

As Yuan Shu's territory is getting bigger and bigger, a city like Shouchun is not only a state government, but also a capital of a country. In the midst of the war, most of the families of officials and gentry exterminated their clans and ransacked their homes, and some wives, concubines and daughters would live here again. Not to mention their beauty and talent, it was the once noble status that attracted most people, especially the officers who were born with mud legs. Very powerful.

There were few entertainments in ancient times, and the money-absorbing ability of this brothel will only surpass that of later generations.

After listening to Wang Zheng's analysis, not only Ji Ling, but even Xu Yi, who knew some inside stories, were stunned for a long time, and couldn't help giving a thumbs up and said: "General Tiangong can achieve great things, it really wasn't a fluke, he really has extraordinary insight, You have a unique eye."

The banquet was set up while talking and laughing.

After the maid left, Han Fu came back again, led a group of famous prostitutes, distributed them among the people, and commanded them to sit with them.

Everyone present, except for Wang Zheng and Ji Ling, seemed to be regular customers. Han Fu was very clear about their preferences and acquaintances, and the arrangements were properly made to everyone's satisfaction.

At the end, he cupped his hands to Ji Lingxian and said, "The general doesn't come many times, and the villain doesn't know what you like."

"Fortunately, I bought one from the State Shepherd's Camp a few days ago." Pointing to the woman sitting next to Ji Ling, he said: "It is said that it is the daughter of a high official in Chang'an, and no one has tasted it yet. Jing women are tall and noble, maybe they can General Bo smiled, if he is not satisfied, the villain will come back and change it."

From this point, we can see the difference between being a boss and working part-time.

Compared with those women before who were trying to please Wang Zheng with the prestige of the governor, Han Fu knew the truth that "the county magistrate is not as good as the current one", so he paid more attention to Ji Ling.

Unexpectedly, after he introduced it for a long time, he didn't even look at the so-called "two noble girls" Ji Ling. He first glanced at the woman next to Wang Zheng, then frowned, stared at Han Fu and said, "This will be rare!" Inspector Wang please come back, you actually arranged for such a thing?"

"What about Feiyan?"

"Wait a moment, general, Feiyan is changing clothes, and will be there in a while."

"Hurry up!" Ji Ling had nothing to say, and drove Han Fu away, then raised his glass to Wang Zheng and said with a smile:

"Yukou, it's your first time to Yangzhou, but I have admired your reputation for a long time. With you as the leader of thousands of enemies, today's banquet is nothing else. Let's celebrate the victory in this battle in advance!"

"It's an honor to fight side by side with you!"

As soon as the words fell, they stood up together, laughing and holding wine glasses, and came to Wang Zheng to toast.

Wang Zheng never refuses anyone who comes, and at the same time he is thoughtful.

The previous doubts came to mind again.

From the first time they met outside the city, he felt that Ji Ling was a little too polite and respectful to him, even close to flattery.

Why is this?
There is no unreasonable hatred in the world, but there is no unreasonable love either.

　It's 80 words, let's sprinkle flowers.
