Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Deal That Can't Be Brought to the Table
Yue Weiyang, drink and sing, tonight, Shui Mansion came to a few distinguished guests, Shui Yunheng's business partners and the chief shopkeeper of the shop over the years, because she had to inform Meng Qiuhe in advance, she was also very attentive, not only set up a rich banquet, but also spoke and behaved decently, dignified and dignified, which made Shui Yunheng extremely satisfied, and even several distinguished guests praised Shui Yunheng for having a virtuous and good wife, but did not mention anything about Aunt Liu, and she knew how to measure herself.
Aunt Liu's matter, although there is no rumor of the city's wind and rain, but this matter is no secret in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Ruolin went back to her mother's house, and when she had a private conversation with the Prime Minister's wife, she was listened to by the aunt in the house, suggesting that her maid and mother-in-law secretly leaked the matter to Prime Minister Liu, although he was very angry with Shui Yunheng's approach, he didn't put his father-in-law in his eyes, but Aunt Liu's actions disappointed him even more.
This matter was suppressed by Prime Minister Liu, for fear of affecting the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he did not send anyone to the Water Mansion to ask what was going on, but he didn't know anything.
After three rounds of drinking, the night is thick, the front hall is still talking about wine, the inner house is extremely quiet, and occasionally there are a few night patrol family members shuttling.
Suddenly, two black shadows flashed out in the Lanxiang Pavilion in an instant, and they ran out of the house directly over the wall without stopping.
The capital at night is quite lively, there are many summers, the cool breeze is refreshing, the small merchants and hawkers keep selling, always want to make a sum of money before closing the stalls, and another scenery of the capital is the southwest corner.
The crowd here flows endlessly, it is the gathering place of all the green buildings, between the willow alleys of the flower street, the strong smell of rouge is very choking, in front of the door of each green building, all kinds of women dress up gorgeous and enchanting to pull guests on the side of the street, the sound of the warbler and the swallow, the sound of the ear, the sound of the piano is in a small key, there is a bit of fun, the woman's coquettishness and the man's frivolous words, can be heard everywhere.
Shui Lianyue and Hongying have changed into men's clothes, Shui Lianyue pretends to be the eldest young master, and Hongying pretends to be a little girl, the two of them quickly shuttle through the alley, and in a blink of an eye, they came to a deserted and depressed house.
The damaged and dilapidated plaque, you can still vaguely see the two big characters of the Yang house, the door is closed, deserted, and the green buildings outside that are open to do business are completely different, this is the place of secret prostitution.
According to the code given by the old lady before, Hongying knocked on the left door three times, and knocked on the right door three times, and after a while, the door opened, only to see a very plainly dressed old man walk out of the door, he squinted and looked at Shui Lianyue and Hongying, the light emitted from the small eyes made Shui Lianyue very uncomfortable.
"Uncle Yang, this is the eldest son of my family", Hongying skillfully introduced Shui Lianyue to the old man, and there was no timidity between his eyebrows, but he looked like a veteran here.
Yang Bo nodded, his voice was hoarse but low, "Come in", as soon as the words fell, he opened half of the door, waved his hand and signaled the two to hurry in.
Tonight, the moon is in the sky, the stars are dotted, there is no candle fire in the yard, and the water ripple moon has to use the soft moonlight to see the road under her feet.
The house had been abandoned for a long time, and it was unpopular, covered with dust and mottled and desolate, and some rockeries in the yard were also scattered all over the ground, overgrown with weeds, and there were faint rats running around and squeaking.
Shui Lianyue's face was indifferent, extremely calm, and her body faintly exuded a little chill, showing her nobility, but also not forgetting to show her majesty, but let Yang Bo, who led the way, have a bottom in her heart, it seems that this person's identity is extraordinary, and this transaction has also improved the certainty of seventy or eighty percent.
Secret prostitutes are different from Qinglou, Qinglou is open to do business, the background is reliable, the girl is beautiful you like, and you will naturally get a beauty after spending money, while secret prostitution is different, it is very obscene, only inferior goods do secret prostitution, most of them are old people, and the money they earn is naturally very little, and their main source of livelihood is human trafficking, which is often said, human teeth.
Although human trafficking is very common, after all, it is an unseemly business, and the government also has clear regulations, so naturally it is not possible to do business on the surface, and it is necessary to be particularly cautious, not every transaction can be done, the customer is not satisfied, and the busy work for half a day is in vain, the most important thing is that the place is not hidden, and it has to be changed to another place for Tibetans.
In other words, Yang Bo led the two into a two-story attic, the house was even more dirty and messy, Yang Bo came to a wall, knocked on the wall with his hand, only to hear the sound of "bang", there was a dark passage in front of the two of them, leading straight down.
Yang Bo waved his hand at the two of them, signaling to go down, Shui Lianyue frowned slightly, glanced at Yang Bo indifferently, and then bent down and walked down.
The basement was divided into three rooms, each hung with dark curtains, just as Shui Lianyue was carefully observing, two fierce-looking strong men came out of the central room, holding long sticks in their hands, and saw Yang Bo leading people to come, pointed to the room on the left, and then entered the house again.
Yang Bo turned around and smiled, but that smile was extremely obscene in Shui Lianyue's eyes, and the red tassel on the side didn't wait for Yang Bo to speak, took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it over and said, "My son-in-law wants to see people first."
Yang Bo didn't want to take the silver ticket, but he was stunned, his face suddenly sank, obviously dissatisfied with the customer's request, and said in a low voice: "Didn't you say that you came to pick up the goods?" Why do you have to look at people first"?
Shui Lianyue glanced at Yang Bo and said coldly, "What? Isn't Yang Bomo a loser"?
Yang Bo's face changed, and a touch of viciousness flashed from his eyes, and he snorted coldly: "Although the dark business is not on the table, it pays more attention to credit than those that are on the table, if the son insists on inspecting the goods first, he needs to pay an extra hundred taels."
The water ripple moon phoenix eyes suddenly shot out two cold lights, which were mixed with strong contempt, and Yang Bo actually trembled when he saw it, this kind of trading focuses on credit? It's a fart!
"My son will give you two hundred taels, and by the way, I'm buying a girl."
"Okay, okay, no problem, Childe can pick whatever you want", Yang Bo was relieved when he heard Shui Lianyue's words, and he didn't feel embarrassed anymore.
Although he knew that the boy in front of him was not an ordinary person, but he Yang Bo was also the master who had crawled and beaten in the white knife in and out of the red knife, how could he always feel cold in front of this son, and he was very uncomfortable.
