Shuoyun Feidu

Beitang Rongdu smiled, closed the book in his hand, and joked casually: "Don't worry, I don't have anything else here, but a little wine is still affordable. Even if you open it up and drink it, you won't be afraid." Looking at Beitang Rongdu, Mu Qinghan felt something strange, but he couldn't figure out what was going on. Beitang Rongdu seemed to be aware of his attitude, so he said with a smile: "What's the matter?" Mu Qinghan suddenly shivered slightly, withdrew his mind, and said, "...it's okay." Beitang Rongdu didn't care, just tucked the broken hair on his temples, and said, "You were drunk last night. If there are too many, then don’t be on duty today, go home and rest for half a day before talking about it.” Mu Qinghan looked away and said, “No need.” Beitang Rongdu didn’t say much after hearing this, stopped, But he said softly: "Since you like that child Jiaqi, go and see her often..." Mu Qinghan paused, and then said: "...um."

In the afternoon, Beitang Rongdu went to the polo field after finishing the official duties at hand, and played polo for half an hour. When the sun was about to set, Beitang Rongdu got off his horse and took the polo from an eunuch. Wipe off the thin dust and sweat on his face with the prepared wet towel, at the same time a very handsome young man in fine clothes got off his horse and said with a smile: "My lord didn't win today."

This young man is Meng Chunyuan, and Beitang Rongdu shrugged his shoulders slightly when he heard it, and said: "...today is not going well, I always feel that I have not gotten started." Seeing Beitang Rongdu's face, Meng Chunyuan thought that he was not enjoying himself. After thinking about it, he suddenly smiled and said: "I heard that there is a Qinxiang Building in the middle of Beijing. Everything in it is very good, and there are all dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and businessmen here and there. The prince wants to go and have a look around. "Beitang Rongdu is a veteran in the Fengyue field. When he heard this, he didn't understand what Qin Xianglou was doing for a living, so he stretched out his hand and gave Meng Chunyuan a shudder on the forehead, and laughed and scolded: "You This kid, now that my wife is married and I’m grown up, I’m going to walk around the brothel like others? I’m not afraid that your wife will tell you to kneel on the washboard!” Meng Chunyuan blushed, and argued, “Where have I been to that kind of place before? It’s just what my colleagues said in private, but the lord only cares about wronging me.” Beitang Rongdu smiled and said: “Okay, I know you are honest and thin-skinned... There is nothing else to do, you go and change your clothes first, and accompany you later. This king is going out for fun."

For a while, Beitang Rongdu took a bath, changed into brocade clothes, and dressed up like an ordinary rich man. Since he was going out for leisure, he only brought six or seven people with him for his orders. Soon I came to the Qinxiang Building in Nancheng. I saw that the Qinxiang Building had a bright appearance, but it was not vulgar at the same time. It was very elegant. It was a three-story building with a large area. It was already dark, and the building was brightly lit. You could vaguely see many carriages, horses and sedan chairs parked in front of the building. Although the guests who came and went were all wearing ordinary clothes, many of them could guess just by looking at their demeanor. Out of court officials.

As soon as Beitang Rongdu's Qingyu carriage stopped in front of the building, a waiter came to pick up the guests. The man in green clothes and hat was clean and tidy, and welcomed Beitang Rongdu and his party in. Although he is young, he is a very bright and discerning character. Seeing that the leader, Beitang Rongdu, is tall and slender, wearing a cloak of azurite thin silk and gold thread, covering most of his face, although he can't see clearly, but The six or seven entourages who were following him looked calm, and they did not look like ordinary people in their gestures. They knew that they must not be ordinary customers, so they did not dare to be negligent. take it upstairs.

This Qinxiang Building is really different from the general brothels and Chu Pavilions, there is no such slutty atmosphere inside, and there are no coquettish, revealing women, even if young and beautiful men and women come and go from time to time, they are all well-dressed , behaved elegantly, not like a person who welcomes guests and sells smiles. There is a circular platform in the middle of the hall on the first floor, and three or four beautiful girls in plain robes with delicate appearance sit on it, with a A guqin was plucking the strings calmly. It was already night, and the number of guests in the building gradually increased. Beitang Rongdu and his party were ushered up to the second floor. A beautiful woman, that woman was just about to take Beitang Rongdu and others into the box, when an attendant beside her said expressionlessly: "...is this the best place for you?" Huang Chengcheng's ingot fell into the woman's arms, the woman was startled for a moment, then she said with a smile: "Please come with the slave's house." After speaking, she led everyone down, but she went straight to the back of the building. go.

There are countless flowers and trees here, verdant and verdant, surrounded by verandas, only the sound of silk and bamboo wind music is heard slowly in the wind, and the back is divided into exquisite wing rooms, which do not interfere with each other and are clearly separated. A group of people were ushered into a room, which was quite spacious inside, and there was no incense, but a few pots of flowers in full bloom scattered around, taking in the natural aroma, and all the furnishings in the room were extremely delicate , and it doesn't have the kind of frivolity in the romantic place, but it's more like a hall for entertaining guests in a big family. Beitang Rongdu looked around, nodded slightly, and Meng Chunyuan next to him took off the thin silk cloak for him Not long after, a table of good food and wine was brought in. At the same time, there were several charming or pretty young girls. The attendant who had just rewarded the gold ingot took a look at the girls. Then he whispered to Beitang Rongdu: "...Master?" Seeing that Beitang Rongdu nodded, he took out a bank note from his bosom, flicked it to a middle-aged man who was specially received, and said, "It's called The best cleaners will come and serve you."

The middle-aged man glanced at the bank note out of the corner of his eye, and after seeing the amount on it clearly, he smiled brightly, bowed and said, "There is a Mr. Yushu in the building, who looks like one of the first-class ones here. Now I'm still a young man, I don't know..." The word 'Xianggong', in this kind of entertainment, naturally refers to the man, the attendant heard this, and flipped over a silver ticket. When the middle-aged man saw it, he immediately Knowing that the guests are not unfriendly, so he went down to make arrangements with a smile. Beitang Rongdu tasted the chopstick dishes and felt that they were very delicious, so he nodded and asked casually: "This place is not bad, who is it?" The building you opened? It also took a lot of thought."

Hearing his question, Meng Chunyuan shook his head and said, "Who is the boss here? No one seems to know." Beitang Rongdu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, and said, "Oh? That's strange." In Beijing like this At the foot of the emperor, anyone who can do a slightly larger business has a backer behind him, and this Qinxianglou brothel, in Shangjing, where the power is intertwined and there are many eyes and ears, no one knows the identity of the real owner behind the scenes , This has to make people ponder. This situation is nothing more than a possibility: the master here is amazingly powerful, but he is a real hand-eye... Seeing this, one of the entourages speculated on Beitang Rong With Du's intentions, he lowered his voice and said, "My lord's meaning...do you want my subordinates to investigate?" Beitang Rongdu thought for a while, his face remained expressionless, and said, "Is this so? No need." After that, he just sipped the wine without asking any more questions.

After a while, several beautiful young women walked in with various musical instruments in their arms, went straight to the back of the tulle curtain on one side of the room, sat down after finding a seat, and began to play the zither carefully, and after a while , I saw a young man wearing a moon-white shirt appearing at the door. This man was only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a slender figure and no accessories around his body. The person exudes a sense of tranquility, his facial features are extremely clean and beautiful, and he even exudes a bit of a bookish air. There is no trace of a man's appearance, he looks like a scholar, and he is really different from other places. Also agree.

After the young man entered the room, he saluted Beitang Rongdu who was sitting at the table. When he raised his head and saw the appearance of the guest, he was shocked and stunned. He always knew that he was extremely beautiful. , but seeing this young guest for the first time at this moment, he couldn't help being stunned. He couldn't speak for a while, then his heart beat and his palms were slightly sweaty. He knew that he was lucky tonight to meet such a guest. It is not so hard to accept the young and rich young master, even if he has to stay overnight with him later. In detail, he still does not know who has suffered the loss. Thinking of this, his mood is not as uneasy as before.

For a while, Meng Chunyuan and several other followers went out together, leaving only Beitang Rongdu and the young man behind, and a few women behind the veil were quietly playing music, and the soft sound of silk and bamboo reverberated in the room, making people say Not going out of the way, Beitang Rongdu signaled the young man to sit down and drink with him. This jade book is also knowledgeable and interesting. He sat beside Beitang Rongdu, stretched out his hand to pour wine and vegetables for him, and walked along the Beitang Rongdu speaks intentionally, his words and actions don't see the color of dust, but he feels elegant and cute, Beitang Rongdu is not in a hurry, even if he comes to such a romantic place, he doesn't necessarily need someone to accompany him at night, It's not uncommon to only chat and have fun with the fan-headed valet. At this time, after a few glasses of wine, seeing that this Qing valet named Yushu has a high-class appearance and temperament, he is very pleasing, so he stretched his arms and hugged him in his lap. Shangjiao smiled, while casually stretching his hand into the other person's arms, caressing that skin seemingly absently, although this young man is a servant in the building, he has never really received any guests, and now he has passed through such a happy place as Beitang Rongdu The veteran's flirtatious tricks made her face blush.

Not long after, Beitang Rongdu got excited, got up, picked up the boy, and walked into the room. Seeing this scene behind the tulle curtain, several music girls stood up quietly one by one, packed their instruments, and went out quietly. After leaving the room, Beitang Rongdu carried the boy in his arms and turned over a plain silk screen embroidered with the Three Friends of Sui Han, and entered the inner room, where he saw a delicate pear wood four-poster canopy bed with soft red curtains on both sides. The twin pillows and brocade quilts on the bed were also ambiguous cherry red. It was only at this time that they really revealed the appearance of the romantic scene. The edge of the bed began to untie the belt, the young man named Yushu blushed, lying on the bed without saying a word, after Beitang Rongdu took off the belt, he took off his boots and got on the couch, and pulled down the curtain.

After a while, there was a low panting sound from the tent, who knew it was only half a cup of tea, suddenly there was an exclamation, and at the same time a snow-white body fell out of the tent and fell to the ground, it was the jade Book, bare naked, without half a wisp of cloth, long oily black and smooth hair hanging loose, only spots of pink are visible on suet jade-like skin, and then a slender hand suddenly pulled the curtain from the bed. Pulling it down, the high-quality tent was torn apart with a "chuck" sound, and thrown on the ground, revealing Beitang Rongdu on the bed. There was a look of sternness in between, the jade book was just about to fall in love, but it was suddenly pushed out of bed by Beitang Rongdu, and it hurt so badly, it was shocking and frightening, I don't know this What happened to the guest, he just looked at Beitang Rongdu in horror, and even forgot to find clothes to cover his naked body, but Beitang Rongdu didn't even look at the boy on the ground, he just reached out to touch the bed frame inside When you tap the copper handrail on the top, you can hear a hollow sound. A small hole on the top is decorated with patterns, which is very inconspicuous. It is actually a highly concealed eavesdropping device. There are such things in some of Du's own businesses, and it is difficult for him to see the way.

At this time, there is nothing that Beitang Rongdu doesn't understand. It turns out that this Qinxianglou not only makes money by doing skin and meat business, but also collects some secret things that are not heard in ordinary times. Like this kind of romantic place, the news is the most mixed. Well-informed, the guests who come and go are between the beds, and they don't know when they will reveal something... When Beitang Rongdu thought that he was actually being told to be sexually erotic, he suddenly became angry and shouted: "...all come in!" As soon as the words were finished, the few followers who stayed outside strode into the room, and when they entered, they saw the boy's naked snow-white body on the ground, and Beitang Rongdu beside him was full of anger , I knew something was wrong, and I saw Beitang Rongdu knocking on the brass armrest at the head of the bed with his hand, and said with a sneer, "A group of daring things actually probed into Master's head!" Those who often followed Beitang Rongdu, seeing this scene, only thought about it for a while, and guessed a little bit. Meng Chunyuan was furious for a while, put his hand on the saber at his waist, and said, "Don't be angry, sir. Wait for me to go back and call someone. Just smash this place right away!" Beitang Rongdu snorted coldly, got up and adjusted his clothes, and said coldly: "...Go, call the person in charge here!"

A few people responded, and then two people left the room. As soon as the two left, they heard footsteps coming from outside the room, and then someone said: "... just now the people below were reckless and offended the young master, It's all our fault, Qin Xianglou is in charge of all the fun you have today." This person came so quickly, obviously he heard the movement in the room from the brass pipe that he had just eavesdropped on, so he rushed there immediately, intending to To calm the matter down, Beitang Rongdu's brows flashed a trace of hostility, and he sneered: "What are you? Is it possible that the Lord is still short of these few dollars!" He said, "Chun Yuan, take this dog's money!" Bind it, gag it and hang it up in the corridor!" Meng Chunyuan agreed and walked out quickly, only to hear a loud noise outside the room, and the people outside were quickly and neatly tied up and hung in the corridor. With something stuffed in his mouth, he struggled with a whining sound. Who is Beitang Rongdu? How could he allow someone to act wildly on his head? Today, Qin Xianglou spied on him. This cannot be easily settled. that's it.

After a while, the two attendants who had gone out before returned, behind him was a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes, and more than a dozen capable men followed him. As soon as he wrinkled, he changed into a smiling face, and went straight into the room. As soon as he stepped through the door, he saw the jade book wrapped in clothes indiscriminately, standing in the corner tremblingly, and a plain silk screen was horizontally placed in the middle of the room, and a shadow was cast on the screen. There was a vague figure sitting, and a few attendants with expressionless faces stood aside with their hands down.With a smile on his face, the middle-aged man bowed slightly, and said apologetically, "It's all due to the lack of hospitality in this building, which spoiled the interest of the guests. If you are a little bit careful, please accept it." Said Hearing this, a strong man beside him had already taken out a bank note. Beitang Rongdu sat behind the screen and said with a sneer, "This is at the feet of the emperor. You actually started scouting for news in this meat yard. If you don't get caught It’s all right on my head, naturally I don’t bother to pay attention to it, but now I’m here with my hands and feet, who gave you the courage?”

The middle-aged man's expression remained the same, his face was still full of smiles, and he kept apologizing: "... Offended, offended, today's matter is a misunderstanding, and please ask the young master to put out a charter, and our building will take care of it." I just want to make amends to the young master." Actually, Beitang Rongdu has no time to make troubles, but what Qin Xianglou has done has violated the taboo, although Beitang Rongdu also has this kind of business in his own hands. However, what is his identity, it is very necessary to collect information to the maximum extent and grasp certain trends, and the master behind Qin Xianglou's scenes is also doing such tricks, who is he?What do you want to do?Beitang Rongdu naturally wouldn't ignore it, so he just said indifferently: "...you are not qualified to talk to the master, call the master here."

The middle-aged man was not aware that Beitang Rongdu was so impolite, his face froze immediately, but soon he smiled again, and said: "My lord, you are joking." Beitang Rongdu frowned behind the screen, I didn't bother to talk to this person anymore, so I ordered directly: "You guys, tie up all these people, send them to the yamen without exception, and charge him with spying on secrets and plotting to commit crimes!" , the middle-aged man finally changed his color, and he simply stopped maintaining his superficial respect. Looking at the figure on the screen with his eyes, he said in a neutral way: "...Young master is so majestic, but our Qinxiang Tower is not a small family. Ziye has always been not afraid of people making trouble." Beitang Rongdu suddenly laughed, his voice was flat but piercingly cold, and said: "Are you threatening? You are so old, you have not yet How many people dare to say such a thing in person!" The middle-aged man's heart trembled slightly, but he couldn't tell the depth of the guest in front of him for a while, but the owner behind him was really too powerful, and he thought to himself that he hadn't messed with him in this capital. He is not a powerful force, so he just said with a half-smile: "Today's matter is all just a misunderstanding, why make a big fuss? Young master, let's stay a line and form a good relationship with each other, so we can meet each other in the future. As for the Dong family, young master It’s better not to mention it, otherwise I’m afraid..."

Although these words seem to be polite inside and out, there is no intention of being both soft and hard. Beitang Rongdu ignored it, and suddenly said coldly: "...what are you waiting for!" Before the words finished, come out with him Several people immediately shot together, and the dozen or so men who came with the middle-aged man immediately rushed forward, only the sound of punches and kicks was heard, accompanied by bursts of screams, and some people were even blown away from the window Going out, the scene was chaotic for a while, the other nearby guests were either rich or noble, they were startled by the noise of fighting and yelling here, they couldn't help but look unhappy, they called their followers to check, these people arrived outside Rongdu's house in Beitang , I saw a dozen thugs rolling and moaning in the open space in the courtyard. Among the people who came to check, there was a man in blue with a long sword hanging from his waist. Seeing this messy scene, he frowned and shouted: "Who is making noise here? Nobleman!" Just after finishing speaking, he had a face-to-face meeting with Meng Chunyuan who was coming out of the room, and he was slightly startled. Left and right, there was no way to guess who the real master in the room was, so he hurried back to report to his master.

Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man turned ashen-faced. After taking a deep breath, Fang said in a deep voice, "...It seems that your Excellency must be making trouble in Qinxiang Building today?" He just said After that, three or five young people came in hastily outside, all of them were dressed in brocade clothes and belts, very handsome, two of them had blue pupils, when they entered the room, they saluted first, bowed and said: "... Greetings to Uncle." The middle-aged man heard the words, and after only a slight pause, his mind suddenly exploded with a bang, and his hands began to tremble slightly-these young nobles belonged to Qin Xianglou Regular customers, middle-aged people all know the identity of the other party, they are close to the clan, and now they are called 'uncle', and they are so respectful, he just thinks about it for a moment, and the identity of the guest behind the screen is ready to be revealed!Thinking of this, I couldn't think any more, the hard energy in my heart turned into flowing water in an instant, and my knees softened, and I knelt down.

At this time, I saw a handsome young man walking out from behind the screen. He turned his eyes, glanced at the juniors in front of him who were a few years older than himself, and said lightly: "...You are also here." One of them The soft-looking young man stood up slightly with his hands down, and said respectfully: "...the people in this building are ignorant, but they have offended uncle? My nephew immediately summoned the people to tie up the Qinxiang Building and send it to the yamen. Before Beitang Rongdu could speak, the middle-aged man on the side kowtowed heavily, sweating profusely: "I beg you to spare me, this Qinxiang Building..." He said, but swallowed again. He didn't continue to talk. At this time, the middle-aged man was sweating through his clothes, knowing that he had caused a lot of trouble today. The man in front of him was the most powerful person in the Qing Dynasty except for His Majesty in the palace. One finger can crush him to death, but even so, this person still has a bit of luck in his heart, the boss behind him is not someone else, but just with this master... Thinking about it, maybe I won't have anything event.

When Beitang Rongdu saw the middle-aged man like this, he knew that this person must have recognized his identity, and seeing that he seemed to have something to say, he waved his hand and signaled everyone else to go out, and when he was the only one left in the room When I was with the middle-aged man, I put my hands behind my back and said: "Why, if you have something to say, don't hesitate to say it!"

The middle-aged man smiled wryly, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with his sleeve tremblingly, gritted his teeth and said, "The little dog can't recognize the prince, it's just that the Qinxiang Tower... It's really flooding the Dragon King Temple today. Lou's owner is Shen Shaojun."
