Chapter 195: The Brothel
The old man drifted away.
On the dark cliffside, only Lin Ji was left, looking at the night dome and the flowing clouds, he thought of his father, remembered Zhou Ziqian, and remembered many people with whom he used to get along day and night, but left him forever, Lin Ji frowned.
It seems that this trip to Zhongjing City is going to fly by itself.
He stood up silently, waved his hand to greet the night that occupied his entire field of vision, and said, "Zhongjing, we are going to meet again." ”
What is darkness.
Darkness, of course, is not seeing the light.
Whether it is a great man or a great man, these shady places exist, they lurk like poisonous snakes and beasts in dark and damp corners, opening their fangs against the sun.
Therefore, after Lin Ji governed Canghai City, he did not want to completely eliminate these invisible evil forces, because since it was a power that grew in the darkness, how could it be completely uprooted. So the method he uses is to win over and cultivate.
Also in Zhongjing City, these beasts lurking in the darkness are indispensable, and the interest network they have been operating for many years has infiltrated the court, so even if someone wants to do something to them, they have nothing to fear.
At the door of the last post station from the capital city, there is a team of about 20 people, they are wearing uniform clothes, all of them are black suits, the hem of the clothes are engraved with a gold word with gold thread, but the weapons on the waist are indeed various, although they are eating, but it can be clearly seen that they intentionally or unintentionally surrounded a woman in plain clothes in the middle, cautiously observing the surrounding situation, and the woman is eating a plate of beef, with a pot of coarse tea, on the table where she dined there is indeed a very delicate wooden box, sealed by fire paint, it seems that the contents should be worth a lot。 The latest and fastest updates
"The more you get to Nakyo, the more you can't take it lightly. This treasure is priceless and cannot be lost at the last minute. Otherwise, not only you, but even I wouldn't be able to eat and walk around. The plain-clothed girl said in a cold voice.
The group of people in black who had just been a little lax tightened their faces and immediately became nervous.
"Little Lord Green, how much is the treasure in the box worth?"
"Ten thousand taels. ”
"Ten thousand taels of silver? Oh my God. "These people have never heard of this number in their lives, and they didn't expect that the boxes they have protected all the way can be worth so much money.
"This treasure is the finale of this auction?"
"No, I heard that the landlord got a treasure much more expensive than the treasure in this box out of nowhere the year before last, and it was going to be auctioned at this auction, as for what it was, I don't know. ”
"The landlord has great powers. ”
The men in black said with emotion.
"You have protected the treasure all the way, and after this auction is over, the landlord will definitely not treat you badly, but the premise is to send this treasure back to the Golden Jade Building intact. ”
"Yes. "The minions of this Jin Yulou are obviously all masters who work hard for money, and their eyes glow green after hearing the words "I won't be treated badly.
In the eyes of the dignitaries and nobles in Zhongjing, there are two types of wind and snow in Zhongjing, one is called Zhuyun Pavilion and the other is called Jinyulou.
Izumo Pavilion is known for its talent, all the beauties during the period will not be able to chant poetry and play the piano, and Jinyulou is known for its wealth, if you have not been to Jinyulou, you are embarrassed to say that you are a rich man in Zhongjing.
It's just that this golden jade building gives people a very mysterious feeling, every year around October 15 will be closed for seven days, do not accept guests, but the building is brightly lit, I don't know why. Over time, people have become accustomed to it.
Seeing that it was about to be October 15 this year, a carriage with extremely rich decoration swaggered into Zhongjing, and the owner of the carriage lifted the window from time to time to look at both sides of the road and sighed from time to time. Passers-by looked at this seemingly wealthy person, but it looked like a country man entering the city, pointing and pointing. But apparently the people in the car didn't care that way.
"Shizi, it is better for us to come to Zhongjing this time to keep a low profile. ”
The driver was a young man in his twenties, obviously very familiar with Zhongjing City, and felt slightly uncomfortable when he saw the frequent glances of passers-by. Legend has it that Shizi is an incomparably profound great cultivator, how could he have imagined that at this moment, he really behaved like a nouveau riche from a small place.
"How many people recognize me, what are you afraid of? Besides, as an upstart, it is easier to quickly settle in Zhongjing. You catch your car, I'm just borrowing you for a few days, don't speak ill of me in front of Bi Tianqing. ”
The young coachman's face changed, and he hurriedly said tremblingly: "My subordinates don't dare, I just think that this is not quite in line with the style of the prince." ”
"Of course, you have to use special means to achieve different goals, haven't you disguised yourself in Zhongjing for many years?" Lin Ji was also quite patient, and told the coachman his thoughts and goals sentence by sentence.
The young driver suddenly realized, and then looked embarrassed. I don't know how to answer the following words.
"You are already very good, and it is great to be in charge of the transmission of news from the entire Zhongjing City at a young age. ”
"Thank you Shizi for your praise, and my subordinates will definitely live up to the love of Shizi and General Bi. The young driver's eyes turned red, and then he said in a loud voice.
"You Canghai people who have been away from Canghai City for too long, I always feel that Canghai City is losing money to you. Lin Ji sighed.
"We can contribute to Canghai City, we will not hesitate. The young coachman shook his whip vigorously, and with a loud noise in the air, the horse pulling the cart was threatened with a possible beating, and with a snort, sped up and disappeared from sight.
When I came to a secluded place in Xicheng, the carriage stopped in front of a three-story wooden building, and a man in the building had already come out to lead the horse to rein, and the movements were very neat, and there were well-dressed acquaintances who welcomed people in
Lin Ji specially moved a little on his eyebrows before entering the city, and ordered a few small pockmarks on his left cheek, which made his face a little darker, otherwise his extremely beautiful face would also be particularly noticeable.
Jinyulou is a wooden building, and the general wooden building will be repaired to more than three floors, so the interval between the floors will be compressed to ensure the stability of the wooden building. But the distance between the buildings of this golden jade building is very high, and even standing in front of the building, you can clearly see the sky behind the building.
Lin Ji knew that the wood of this building must be the best wood transported from the north, so he walked towards the building, and his palm seemed to unconsciously brush over the huge pillar next to the door, confirming his judgment.
At this time, it was too early, but there were already many guests sitting in the hall on the first floor, facing a small platform about Xu Fangyuan, and a plainly dressed girl on the stage was playing the guqin, and the sound of the piano was loud, enough to clear the heart.
Lin Ji squinted slightly, and felt more and more that this Golden Jade Building was really not simple. Lin Ji followed the instructions of Zhike to the second floor, chose a table behind the building and sat down, and Lin Ji sat at the edge of the railing. Sit against the railing. His eyes drooped slightly, and he found that the picture of the fairy palace was painted with blue and gold paint under the railing, and even the details were so luxurious. I think the boss here must have very strong financial resources.
This golden jade building does reveal a trace of eccentricity, and this eccentricity comes from the name of Qingya and this golden jade.
It's not even like a legendary brothel.
There is no turtle to greet him, there is no bustard to coax him with fat powder, and he can't even see a few glamorous women with bare breasts and veils, and there is a fresh smell, which doesn't look like a brothel.
Even Irimo Pavilion, which has always been known for its freshness and elegance, has been compared to this pattern. When he leaned on the railing and looked out, Lin Ji's heart moved slightly.
This building faces the street. The place is secluded, but behind the building, there is an artificial lake, the lake is not long and narrow, but sits on the railing. Feeling the cool autumn breeze gently blowing on the lake, it is indescribably refreshing. Lin Ji couldn't help but tapped the railing and squinted his eyes, and there were many independent courtyards along the banks of the artificial lake behind the building. It is just hidden in the autumn trees, occasionally revealing the white gray courtyard wall, extremely elegant, but his eyes are extremely sharp, he has already seen the sewage ditch behind a small courtyard, faintly stained with silk grease pink red, and he knows that there are many girls living in it, it seems that the front building is just a restaurant to welcome guests, but the real golden jade building is in those small courtyards.
It's like visiting a famous mountain. Fog needs to be hidden in front of the mountain to arouse the tourists' feelings of exploration to the greatest extent.
The three-storey wooden building of this golden jade building is like a cloud and mist in front of the famous mountain, hiding those small courtyards in the back, so as to arouse the idea of prostitution to the greatest extent.
Sure enough, it's a businessman, so it makes sense that this aconitum is hidden here.
