White Mansion, White Ji Room.

Bai Ji was dressed in single clothes, sitting on a chair bare-chested, and there were two maids behind him shaking fans to create a cool breeze.

Bai Ji looked haggard, holding a folding fan in his hand, and stared blankly with his eyes.

This folding fan is the same as the one sent by Qin Yue, but there is no portrait made by Qin Yue on it, and Bai Ji's appearance is obviously seeing things and thinking about people.

Yesterday on the flower boat, after separating from Feng Xingzhi, Bai Ji returned home.

Not long after he sat down, someone came to inform her that Miss Qinyue had been kidnapped by thieves.

It is not a secret that Qin Yue was taken away, and many people outside the building alone learned that Qin Yue was a little famous in Yangzhou City, and the news spread in a short period of time.

Hearing the news, Bai Ji was shocked, flustered in his heart, and anxious on his face.

Although he was given a cold reception by Qin Yue, he still cared about Qin Yue very much in his heart.

Then he asked the relationship to spend money, and he must inquire about Qinyue's whereabouts and rescue Qinyue.

Bai Ji also thought in his heart that if I could rescue Qin Yue and let her know my heart, she would definitely fall in love with me.

As time passed, there was not a single message coming back from outside.

Bai Ji was anxious at first, and then his heart slowly wore off, until now he became blind, and he could only take out the folding fan made by the trustee and sit and watch.

At this time, the next person came to report, saying that Mai blunt sword came to visit.

Bai Ji raised his head and muttered, "Liu Xin, why is he here with me, does he have news of Qinyue?"

Thinking of this, he tidied up his clothes again and again, and said to his subordinates, "Invite him in." ”

Liu Xin entered the door, and Bai Ji greeted him, "Liu Shaoxia, do you have news of Qinyue?"

Liu Xin was stunned by this question, thinking why Bai Ji also paid so much attention to this Qinyue, and just inquired about that Qinyue, saying that he was kidnapped by thieves.

"Not yet. ”

When Bai Ji heard this, his face fell, and he lost interest, so he went back to the chair and sat down.

Liu Xin thought about it in his mind, looking at Bai Ji's current appearance, he was afraid that except for Na Qinyue, he would not be interested in other things, and it seemed that it would take some effort for him to move to the Wanzi Qianhong Mansion.

Liu Xin approached and said to Bai Jiyan: "I came this time to invite Bai Gongzi to discuss how to rescue Miss Qinyue. ”

"Oh, with whom?"

"The owner of the Thousand Purple Thousand Red Pavilion, my boss, Yan Ping. Liu Xin said softly.

... ...

Thousands of purples and thousands of red pavilions.

Yan Ping stayed alone in the room, his hands caressing a piano headstock inlaid with a bright ruby.

If Feng Xingzhi knew this, he would recognize this qin as the one that Qin Yue played.

Yan Ping looked at the piano and muttered: "How can there be such a piano sound, which makes people face the depths of their hearts, Qinyue, Qinyue, you really make me love and hate, if it weren't for the fear of being targeted by the public, I would really be reluctant to shoot you." ”

Listening to what he said, this is the person who kidnapped Qinyue in Huamanlou.

In other words, there is a story about this person who can run this flower building.

Yan Ping's parents are honest peasant families, and they hope that Yan Ping can become productive through reading, so Yan Ping's parents rarely let him do work and save money for him to study.

Yanping has a childhood sweetheart girl, the two love each other very much, when Yanping's parents were both seriously ill, I heard that people wanted to use happy events to flush the bad luck of the family, he and the girl got married early.

After the happy event, Yanping's parents' condition did not improve, but worsened, and they passed away soon after.

Yan Ping, who only knows how to read, is not good at farming, and the family's livelihood is all taken care of by his mother, and he can't make ends meet, and the only few acres of land are also sold.

Knowing that there is no way out, Yan Ping studies hard, and he knows that only this way can his wife live a good life.

When he went to the city to take the township test, Yan Ping was bullied by the scoundrels in the city and snatched the only few copper plates on his body, as well as the voucher to take the exam.

There was no certificate, and the handyman who guarded the door in the examination room refused to let him in, and he was insulted by white eyes, saying that a poor scholar who was digging the ground still wanted to be a master, don't dream, fold the pen and go home to fight the hoe.

Yan Ping was angry in his heart, but he couldn't do anything, so he slipped home.

But bad things often come one after another, Yan Ping, who returned home early, found that his wife had committed adultery, and he was so angry that he fainted directly.

After waking up, Yan Ping was like a wooden man, he was not interested in anything, and he had no feelings for anyone.

A few days later, Bai Ji seemed to have figured out something, and he found his wife and enticed her to sell it.

Originally, his wife committed adultery with someone in order to subsidize the family and Yanping's study and examination fees for money, but Yanping bluntly asked her to sell it, which was difficult to accept for a while, but under the temptation of Yanping's clever words, he still reluctantly agreed.

Subsequently, Yan Ping wandered into the city of Yangzhou, first got acquainted with the officials in the city, introduced his wife to the soldiers who watched the city gate, patrolled the streets, and some honest merchants at home.

Yan Ping has read a lot of books and has a smart brain, and his wife not only earns silver taels by being a prostitute, but also teaches her to extract all kinds of information from the mouths of prostitutes, and analyze them to make a profit.

After a long time, his wife suffered from a dirty disease, but Yan Ping ignored it and left her to fend for herself.

After that, Yan Ping used some small means and rhetoric to coax the woman from a good family and pull her into the water.

In a few years, Yan Ping earned more and more money, and the status of the people he met became higher and higher, and he was able to travel to the mansions of many officials in Yangzhou.

From a peasant scholar to the owner of this red mansion, it is actually not difficult to say, as long as you throw away your feelings and morals.

Perhaps the moment he woke up, the affection and morality in his heart were exchanged for money and power.

"Knock knock..."

There was a knock on the door, and Yan Ping withdrew his hands from Fuqin to open the door.

The door opened, and Yan Ping arched his hand and said: "Bai Gongzi, I have been looking up for a long time, I have taken the liberty to invite you to come over today, and please Haihan, come, please come in." ”

After Bai Ji and Liu Xin entered the door, Bai Ji was not polite, and hurriedly asked, "Do you have any news of Qinyue here?"

Qin Yue's news, she was arrested by me, what else do you want from her, but how could he ask that.

Seeing that Yan Ping was puzzled, Liu Xin said in a round game: "Our boss is also worried about the safety of Miss Qinyue, but there are also important matters to discuss, let's sit down first and talk while eating." ”

Hearing Liu Xin's sloppy eyes, he was annoyed, "Hmph, I didn't expect Liu Shaoxia to learn to coax after finding a new owner, I can't eat your meal." ”

After speaking, Bai Ji threw up his sleeves and wanted to leave.

Yan Ping is a thoughtful person, and he guesses when he listens to words.

"This time, I want to talk to Bai Gongzi about Qinyue, can you have a drink. ”

Hearing this, Bai Ji stopped, with disbelief in his eyes, and said, "Really?"

Liu Xin was also stunned by Yan Ping, he didn't expect him to really have news of Qinyue, originally Liu Xin just wanted to use Qinyue as an excuse to invite Bai Ji first.

Yan Ping stretched out his hand and pointed at the piano stand, and said, "Bai Gongzi doesn't believe me, he should always know this Yaoqin." ”

Bai Ji hurriedly stepped forward, looked at it and said angrily to Yan Ping: "You kidnapped Qin Yue, let her go quickly, otherwise I want you to look good!"

In the face of Bai Ji's threatening rhetoric, Yan Ping was unmoved, "Bai Gongzi misunderstood me, I can't do anything to kidnap people, just pass on a word from generation to generation?"

Bai Ji looked anxious, "If you have something to say, why bother." ”

Yan Ping stepped forward a few steps and said, "That person said that if you want to save Miss Qinyue's life, you must prepare ten thousand taels of gold." ”

"Ten thousand taels of gold?!That person is crazy about money!" Bai Ji said angrily.

Yan Pingzuo shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I think so too, but that's what the man said. ”

Bai Ji asked, "Who is that person?"

"Blackheart, Jian Ji!"

After listening to what Yan Ping said, Liu Xin's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a fierce glow, and his thumb and index finger couldn't help rubbing.

Bai Ji is not a person on the rivers and lakes, and he has no understanding of Jian Ji, so he asked, "Who is this Jian Ji?"

Yan Ping replied for him, "The people of this Jijianghu call him the black heart lang, also known as the black groom, who likes to kidnap the bride on the wedding night, and is now a wanted criminal in the imperial court." Yesterday, he came here to find me, gave me this yaoqin, and said that he wanted me to be a middleman and make a deal with Bai Gongzi. ”

Bai Ji asked again, "Looking for you to be an intermediary, and how did you recognize this wanted criminal?"

Yan Ping chuckled and said: "I open a brothel flower building, naturally there are a lot of people in the rivers and lakes, I don't know Jian Ji, maybe he knew me when he came here to have fun." ”

Bai Ji looked calm, sat on the chair and frowned in thought.

On weekdays, it doesn't hurt to spend hundreds of thousands of silver, but 10,000 taels of gold is not a small amount, and he can't take it for a while, after all, he is only a young owner, not the owner of Huaban.

Liu Xin, who listened to Bai Ji's words on the side, slowed down his eyes slightly, but he had resentment in his heart, ten thousand taels of gold, what a big appetite!

After a while, Bai Ji said to Yan Ping: "I really can't take out the gold ten thousand taels, can I have a discussion?"

Yan Ping shook his head in embarrassment, "I can't be the master, that gangster Jian Ji shouldn't be a good person, and he can't bargain." ”

It's a matter of Qinyue's safety, and you can't let it go, so if you can't do it, you can mortgage some shops first, and then redeem them later.

Bai Ji, who had already decided that he wanted to save people, stood up and said to Yan Ping: "I went to raise money in the past two days, you tell Jian Ji that you must take care of Miss Qinyue, and I will only pay if I see someone." ”

Yan Ping gave his hand again, "Bai Gongzi is really unparalleled in love and righteousness, and I admire it." ”

How unpredictable the world is, a scholar who was originally affectionate and righteous, and a son who was originally a debauched corpse, now, the son does not hesitate to spend tens of thousands of gold for affection, but the scholar uses those as bargaining chips.
