Chapter 24: The Oiran Contest

After Ren Shan came back that day, he saw that the people of the Snow Mountain Sect had been robbed, and he only said that it was Ding Busi's hand. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Fortunately, several guards in the prison were only knocked unconscious, and there were no casualties. Ren Shan had no intention of sending people to the Snow Mountain for a long time, and when he saw that they were robbed, he didn't arrange a pursuit, but just counted the account on Ding Busi's head.

In Yangzhou on September 15, the autumn is high and cool. The annual festival of green houses is held on the canal in the evening. The weather has not yet completely darkened, and the canal is already full of lights, and the boats that come to live are like shuttles, a prosperous scene. If you have money, you will rent a seat on the big boat closest to the performance boat in the river; If you have less money, you can find a seat on the boat a little farther away and warm a pot of wine, which is also very pleasant; Those who are reluctant to spend money find a place on the shore and watch the excitement from afar. Those casinos also sent people to open handicaps nearby, and those who are interested can bet on the clearers they are optimistic about. When encountering a big bet, it will make the big guy sing who bets, how much to bet, and which boat to sit on, which is also to let the bettor hear the confirmation. The closest boat to the performance ship was the judges' seat. This judge is a well-known gentry in the city, and the talented man is in charge.

Shi Zhongyu ordered the bodyguards to charter a single room on the flower boat closest to the performance boat a few days in advance. He came early today, and boarded the ship early. It is not surprising that everyone knows that he has always liked this. Since it was on the boat, naturally there was no need to worry about the Shi Da gang leader getting lost accidentally, so the bodyguards also asked for a banquet on another larger boat a little farther away to relax. Only one bodyguard was allowed to follow Shi Zhongyu into the private room of the other ship.

Shi Zhongyu looked back and forth when he got on the boat, and only saw that there was a flower boat a hundred zhang downstream, which was the Luoying boat he often went to. When Shi Zhongyu saw this ship, his heart was slightly settled. Then he turned to the bodyguard and said, "It's rare to be relaxed, and you can go down and ask for a seat and drink two glasses later." The bodyguard thanked Shi Zhongyu. At this time, Shi Zhongyu gave him another 1,000 taels of silver tickets, and said, "You go and bet this thousand taels of silver for me, and bet Liu Yiyi." Let them scream louder, so that Miss Yiyi can also hear it. When you're done, sit down there by yourself." When the bodyguard went out, he summoned a man from another boat, handed him the silver ticket, and gave him a few more orders. After thinking about it, he also took out a silver ticket and handed it to the man to place a bet. Soon, I heard someone shouting: "A boat Tianzi three, Shizhong Yu Gongzi Miss Liu Yiyi, one thousand taels ......"

At this time, I saw a colorful flower boat slowly rowing to the performance water area and slowly stopped. A man who looked like an official stepped onto the front deck, spoke an official word, and announced the start of the Oiran Contest. Then, the Qingqi people sent by the Qinglou began to take out their own housekeeping skills, blowing, playing and singing, playing and singing, playing and playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and wanted to win the name of the Oiran.

However, it was said that after the Snow Mountain sent everyone to stay at the Yuelai Inn that day, Hua Wanzi told everyone that the leader of the Changle Gang was Shi Zhongyu who they had been looking for for several years. Of course, the part where I was slighted was naturally unspeakable. Everyone was indignant, but they were helpless, knowing that with their own people, they were going to find Shi Zhongyu, which was also a meat bun and a dog and never returned. I had to send one person back to the Snow Mountain to report the news, and the others continued to stay and observe first, staring at Shi Zhongyu first.

On this day, I heard about the Oiran Contest, and a few people were bored living in the inn, so I wanted to go out and have a look. Hua Wanzi saw that there had been no movement in the past few days, and her heart was relieved a little. Everyone was allowed to go and see the excitement. Everyone came to the shore and just sat down, but they heard the news that Shi Zhongyu had bet a thousand taels. When Hua Wanzi heard Shi Zhongyu's name, her eyes turned green, and she scolded in a low voice: "Adulterous thief." Then he said to everyone: "Let's go and see where Shi Zhongyu is, if there is a chance, we will kill him and avenge the young lady." Everyone thought of the hardships that everyone had endured for this little thief, and they were all indignant, and when they heard this, they said, "Yes! This thief must have ended up today! ”

Everyone soon inquired about the position of the first-class ship that Shi Zhongyu was riding, but the seats on that ship had already been booked. Everyone was helpless, so they wanted to ask around to see if anyone was willing to give up their seats. At this time, a few people around Hua Wanzi shouted, "Who wants the seat of ship A?" "If you really want to sleep, someone will give you a pillow. Hua Wanzi hurriedly stopped the man and asked, "You want to transfer your seat?" How many seats do you have? The man said: "Our brother originally made an appointment to come and see together, but I didn't expect that the second child ate chicken last night, and was stuck in the throat by the chicken nugget, and he didn't come up in one breath." How can you still bother to look at this now? There are fifteen seats, and they were bought for twenty taels of silver, and the original price is given to you, and you are in a hurry to go back. Hua Wanzi saw that his people were exactly fifteen people, so he took out three hundred taels of silver tickets and gave them them, and changed them to bamboo sticks on the boat.

The crowd got on the ship A, and the seats were in the lower hall. Everyone wanted to ask where Shi Zhongyu's private room was. At this moment, I saw Xiao Er holding a few dishes, walking up the stairs through the hall, and called: "Sister Xiaodie, this is a few dishes sent by the shopkeeper to Tianzi Sanzao Shi Gongzi, come and pick them up." Hua Wanzi said in his heart: "Sure enough, it is clear that the heavens are clear, and the retribution is not happy." Little thief, God really can't tolerate you, but let's find you easily! ”

At this time, the food delivery person had already put the food on Shi Zhongyu's table. Shi Zhongyu waved his hand to let the little girl back down, but picked up a small note from the dish. He opened the note, and a few words were written on it: "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." Listen to firecrackers. After reading it, Shi Zhongyu tore up the small note and threw it into the water.

Hua Wanzi whispered to everyone: "Let's wait first, and when the most lively thing comes, we will retreat to the edge of the stairs one by one, so as not to attract the attention of others." When everyone arrived, we rushed up together. Xiao Hou, Tie Niu, you hold the stairs and don't let Shi Zhongyu escape."

At this time, the atmosphere outside the stadium was already in full swing. Cheers, whistles rang out. Xue Linglong, who is the evening Qinglou, played a pipa "Ambush on All Sides", and those who know how to listen to it are fascinated, and those who don't understand also applaud desperately. The following is that Liu Yiyi is about to appear, but she took a long flute and walked out, only to see Shengxue in white, with long hair draped over her shoulders at will, like a fairy. The crowd burst into applause again.

At this time, Shi Zhongyu looked at Liu Yiyi outside, and then turned his head away and stopped paying attention. But he took out a burden from the cabinet beside him, opened it, took out a vial, and cast a sword on the table in front of him, and threw the furoshiki into the water.

The Snow Mountain Sect quietly focused on the edge of the stairs. Hua Wanzi made a gesture, and everyone wanted to go up. At this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers at the Bibi Bar, and everyone was stunned, and when they turned their heads, it turned out that someone had set off firecrackers on the side of the board. The crowd paused for a moment, and when they saw that there was nothing unusual, they continued to walk up.
