Chapter 102: Wangcheng Tower
Wangcheng Tower, it's not really a city, it's just a high-rise building closest to the palace Ziwei City.
Fang Ji heard Brother Huai'er mention that this Wangcheng Tower was there when Taizu, when Emperor Taizu had just taken the rotten capital of the Great Chu State, and it was in this Wangcheng Tower that the generals of the three armies were feasted, so it was a little famous.
At this time, Wangchenglou can be called a high-end place in Dawei, and it is also one of the few places that Fang Ji knows that Dawei can be called a place for night life, but it will be opened to Xushi at the latest, in other words, it will only be nine o'clock in the evening at the latest, of course, this is very late for the ancients.
It was now close to noon, and Fang Ji happened to go to Wangcheng Tower with Shen Xia and Li Linlang, where they could drink and eat food and watch the performance.
Mo Xiaoman went back to Mo Mansion after chatting, but as soon as the little county lord heard that Fang Ji was going to Wangcheng Tower, he followed him with a "dead beggar".
"Let me tell you, the best thing about this Wangcheng Tower is the dance music, but it's a pity that the one named Liu Ruyan heard that she was sick and returned to her hometown, and her dancing posture ...... "The little county lord thought of something, and at this time he was looking at Fang Ji." Huh? Fang Ji, you don't know why, that night on the flower boat, the willow like smoke was dancing in front of you. ”
Shen Xia was also present at the time, but he also laughed when he heard this.
As for Fang Ji, he just coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.
However, this Liu Ruyan is still in Los Angeles, and Fang Ji and her have also met. And the reason why Fang Ji tracked down the orphan of the third prince was because he listened to Liu Ruyan's words.
So will Liu Ruyan lie to him? There is this possibility, but at least regarding the words of the third prince, Fang Ji believes in his own judgment, and he should not be lying.
As for Liu Ruyan's identity, Fang Ji could probably guess that she was also from the Tsing Yi Sect before, and now that she is being hunted down by the people of the Tsing Yi Sect, she should be a traitor......
At this time, Fang Ji and the others sat in a relatively ordinary seat, and the reason why they didn't choose a private room was also to observe the surroundings with Shen Xia.
Nowadays, Wangchenglou performs opera, but it is different from opera, it is still in the form of more traditional songs and dances, which is slightly different from the Peking Opera Huangmei Opera of the previous generation that Fang Ji understood.
Fang Ji probably has an understanding that the development of this Great Wei, combined with the previous life, is about the period of the Tang Dynasty.
If it is an opera in the Tang Dynasty, it should be similar.
At this time, the Wangcheng Tower is talking about Taizu's expedition to the west, and Fang Ji can even see someone playing the blood-stained general Zhao Cun. As for whether it looks like it, Fang Ji felt that he had to ask Mrs. Zhao.
"Doesn't it mean that these official ladies like to come to Wangchenglou, why haven't you seen one?" Fang Ji was a little strange at this time.
"Brother Fang, the official lady is just watching the play and asking other young ladies and girls, so naturally she watches it in the private room." Shen Xia explained.
"I see." Fang Ji forgot for a while that this was ancient times, and those official ladies really liked it and depended on their reputation.
"So if this Wang girl really goes to Wangcheng Tower, it may be a private lover?" Li Linlang said her opinion at this time.
"Impossible." Fang Ji and Shen Xia replied at the same time.
It's probably the same thing that the so-called heroes see.
"Wangchenglou is full of people, this Wang girl really came to Wangchenglou with other men, once or twice is fine, and if there are more, it should have spread a long time ago." Fang Ji explained.
"That's not a lover, is it a woman? Could it be ......?"
"That's right, to put it bluntly, this Wang girl is still the connector she saw, and the reason why she chose Wangchenglou, I think there are other reasons." Fang Ji said this, but he was watching the performance on stage. "Who is the shopkeeper of this watchtower?"
"You may not know the real boss, but I know who is behind it. The Li family of Jiexi Mansion. ”
Hearing this festival of the Li family in Xifu, Fang Ji was stunned.
He remembered that he had met Li Sheng of the Li family when he went to Jiexi Mansion at that time, of course, it was impossible for this Li Sheng to remember that he was dressed as a hunter at that time.
At that time, this Li Sheng relied on intercepting the birthday gift from the Chamber of Commerce to the emperor, so as to pester Qiluo.
It is precisely because of this that the trade route of the Qiluo Chamber of Commerce has not taken Jiexi Mansion, but has taken Donglong Mansion. And the Mo family in Donglong Mansion is naturally Mo Xiaoman's family, because of this relationship, Mo Xiaoman has a good relationship with the Qiluo Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, now Qiluo has already focused on the business of Dawei, and the Persian side is still walking in the past, probably the old people such as Ah Da Ah Er Ah San and Da Ba.
Then this section of the Li family in Xifu will be related to the Tsing Yi Sect?
Fang Ji thought it was possible, but it was unlikely. After all, you are a big family, and following these rebels, you have never wanted to replace the Li family of the royal family, otherwise it is not in your own interests at all.
Fang Ji knows these families very well, and while becoming bigger and stronger, he hopes that it will last for thousands of years. In other words, I prefer to be a snake on the ground.
Take the Jiangnan family as an example, the subversion of Wu Yue has their credit, but they have a local advantage, so that the current Great Wei royal family has no choice.
As for the Li family in Jiexi Mansion, it is also a truth.
And if the problem is not with the owner, then it may be with the people below.
Fang Ji suddenly clutched his stomach and got up at this time.
"You two take your time, I'll go to the toilet first."
After Fang Ji finished speaking, Shen Xia and Li Linlang both instantly understood, and nodded.
At this time, Fang Ji got up, it seemed that he was looking for a latrine, but in fact, he wanted to sneak into the backstage of this Wangcheng Tower while people were not paying attention.
But Fang Ji immediately looked at the corner of the staircase, and there were actually two big men guarding the door, and it was obvious that no one should enter.
These two strong men obviously can't beat him, but the problem is that they have caused a lot of trouble by doing it like this.
As for the private room upstairs, there are also people watching, and they will ask you which private room you are going to if you want to go up.
It's a bit tighter.
Just when Fang Ji was thinking about how to go backstage, he was patted on the shoulder by a person.
"You ......" Fang Ji was naturally shocked when he saw the person coming.
"Xiaoyou, do you want to go inside?"
This person, Fang Ji naturally knows, it is an old man around Liu Ruyan who is very good at fishing and killing fish......
"Uncle, why are you here?" Fang Ji asked softly. "Also, can you let me in?"
"Our young lady used to be a famous dancer in Wangchenglou, and it just so happened that the sign that came in and out was not returned, and it was still kept." The old man smiled and handed the sign to Fang Ji.
"As for why I'm here? Probably the same reason as Xiaoyou. The Death of Miss Wang......"
Fang Ji naturally frowned when he heard this.
Although Liu Ruyan mentioned the matter of the orphans of the third prince, Fang Ji suspected that the Wang brothers and sisters had not told Liu Ruyan about it.
And this seems to have been found by Liu Ruyan herself......
"Little friend, when you go in to investigate, you can go to a blind man, he used to be the musician of my young lady, and he will help you."
