I'm catching monsters in Liaozhai

When he heard someone calling him, the scholar in plain clothes immediately looked at Tan Ming, and then said in surprise: "Are you Tan Ming?"

"It's me!"

Tan Ming punched the opponent on the shoulder and said, "You kid, when did you come back? You didn't come to see me when you came back!"

The plain-clothed scholar named He Zian scratched his head and said, "I just came back not long ago. You moved, and I plan to find you again in the next few days."

"Come on, kid, you visit the brothel as soon as you come back. It's still the same as before, nothing has changed. I still remember that you used to like to visit the widow Zhou next door..."

"Brother Tan, we won't mention those embarrassing things in the past."

He Zian interrupted quickly, his face a little red.

It would be disgraceful to spy on a widow taking a bath and tell anyone about it.

"Haha, okay. We met today. Let's go and have a few more drinks together."

He Zian hesitated and said: "Brother Tan, I...it's not convenient today, so let's try another day."

"Why don't we wait for another day? I'm going to treat you today, brother. Let's go."

Tan Ming pulled He Zian and walked up.

Tan Ming was a regular visitor to Hongxiu Zhao, and the two turtle slaves knew him. Seeing that He Zian actually knew Tan Ming, they naturally didn't dare to chase him away.

Mother Wang knew that these two turtle slaves had caused trouble. After giving them a fierce look, she said with an apologetic smile to Tan Ming and others: "Oh, it turns out that Mr. He and Mr. Tan, you are old acquaintances. Mr. He, please wait a moment, Mrs. Wang. Choose a girl of your choice."

Several people entered the box.

sit down.

Tan Ming introduced Xu Lang to He Zian and said, "This is Master Xu Lang."

Then, he said to Xu Lang: "He Zian, my hair is small."

"Mr. Xu, I thanked you just now." He Zian thanked Xu Lang again.

"Just a matter of convenience."

Xu Lang smiled.

The two of them were considered acquaintances.

at this time.

Tan Ming's face darkened, and he said to Mother Wang: "Mother Wang, I won't argue with you about Zian's matter just now. Hurry and bring some good-looking girls over and let Zian choose. "

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away."

Mother Wang felt relieved and turned around to go out.

No matter what, Tan Ming is a yamen arrester and has great power. If he really offends him, it will be difficult for them to live in red sleeves in the future.

Fortunately, the other party didn't care.

At this time.

He Zian said: "Mother Wang, I don't want anyone else, just call Ruiyun for me."

"Okay, I will ask Ruiyun to come over and serve you, Mr. He."

Not long after Mrs. Wang went out, she came back with a young and beautiful girl.

"Ruiyun, please greet Mr. He well."

Mother Wang said to the young girl.

"Mom, Ruiyun knows." The young girl called Ruiyun said.

"Mother Wang, there is nothing for you to do here. Please step aside for now." Tan Ming said to Mother Wang.

"Okay!"

Mother Wang responded and left.

The food and wine served by Hongxiu Zhao are not that good.

but.

Men just like to come here.

They range from a ninety-nine-year-old man to a child who can walk in crotchless pants.

The massage technique alone is one of a kind.

The girl Xu Lang ordered pressed his shoulders, which made him feel really comfortable.

Really professional.

There is a reason why people can make this money.

I have to let Xiaoyu learn it later.

Xu Lang thought so in his heart.

However, he sighed again and asked Xiaoyu to be the shopkeeper. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Since the opening of Shenxian Building.

He has never enjoyed the benefits of Xiaoyu's massage.

During the day, Xiaoyu was busy in the Immortal Building.

When I came back in the evening, Xiaoyu was reading by candlelight again, but that one was more diligent.

Where can I find the time to give him a massage?

It seems that we need to find another person to help. Xiaoyu can't be kept so busy.

"Sir, is it uncomfortable for me to hold you down?"

At this time, the massage girl asked.

She saw Xu Lang frowning.

"No, it's good. Keep going...this is a reward for you."

Xu Lang took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into her hand.

"Thank you sir."

The girl looked overjoyed and pressed harder.

"Brother Xu, why don't you give me the money and I can press it for you." Tan Ming said from the opposite side.

"Your hand holding the knife is so rough, even if you lean on it and massage it for me, it won't work." Xu Lang said, raising the wine glass next to him and drinking with Tan Ming in the distance.

The two of them were drinking wine while enjoying the massage from the red-sleeved girl. They were very comfortable.

As for He Zian, he was whispering to the girl named Ruiyun, making Ruiyun smile from time to time.

It's totally "dog abuse".

"Brother Xu, next time I see it, it's better not to share a box with Zian."

Tan Ming joked.

Until sunset Xishan.

Only then did Xu Lang and the other three leave Hongxiuzhao.

When leaving, He Zian and Ruiyun were very reluctant to leave.

"Ruiyun, I'll come find you in a few days." He Zian said.

-

The three of them were walking on the street.

Tan Ming suddenly asked: "Zian, are you really in love with Miss Ruiyun?"

"what?"

After leaving the red sleeve move, He Zian looked completely absent-minded. He immediately came to his senses and asked, "Brother Tan, what did you just say?"

Tan Ming had no choice but to repeat what he just said.

He Zian said: "I am sincere to Ruiyun. I have lived for nearly twenty years, and I have never met such a woman who really moved my heart."

"But she..."

Tan Ming did not continue.

"I know she is a woman from a brothel. But I don't care. I will never marry anyone other than Ruiyun in my life." He Zian said seriously.

Immediately, he looked at Tan Ming: "Brother Tan, so I want to ask you for a favor."

"What are you busy with?"

Tan Ming asked.

He Zian's face showed a trace of embarrassment and said, "I want to borrow three hundred taels from Brother Tan."

Tan Ming asked: "What do you want so much money for?"

He Zian said: "I want to redeem Ruiyun's life."

Tan Ming smiled bitterly and said, "Zian, I really can't help you with this matter. You also know the situation of our family. I haven't saved any money at all in these years in the Yamen."

"Then I'll think of other ways." A trace of disappointment flashed in He Zian's eyes.

"If you really like Miss Ruiyun, why not ask your old man for money. Three hundred taels is nothing to your He family," Tan Ming said.

"actually......"

He Zian sighed and said, "If it were the He family in the past, three hundred taels might not be much, but now... our He family can't even afford ten taels of silver..."

Tan Ming was surprised.

He Zian's home is a merchant's home.

It was already a famous big business in Shicheng many years ago.

Later, in order to facilitate business.

Then the He family went to a different place.

Immediately.

He asked: "Zian, what happened?"

He Zian smiled bitterly and said: "My father offended someone, was framed, and was thrown into a prison cell. In order to save my father, our family spent all their savings over the years.

After my father came out, he became ill due to depression and died of illness not long after.

So, my mother and I returned to Shicheng with my father’s ashes. "

Tan Ming didn't expect such a big change to happen to He Zian's family, and he thought about how he met him in the Red Xiu Zhao. No wonder he was driven away by two turtle slaves.

So he patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Zian, my condolences!"
