Not long after Liu Hongmei left the Drunken Moon Pavilion, a handsome girl in a red dress hurriedly entered Hongxia's room???

"Sister Xia, just now Aunt Hong asked someone to inform me, saying that Zi Ning was suddenly suffering from a sudden illness, and asked me to prepare for the possibility of appearing on behalf of Zi Ning at night."

After entering the door, the girl in the red dress looked excited and said to Hongxia, who was sitting on a chair in front of the window and reading chess games, and the joy on her face was overflowing.

This delicate girl in a red dress is Zishuang, as Zining came back to freshen up and dress up to prepare for the Oiran Conference at night, she also thought that she would miss the Oiran Conference this time, and when she was feeling frustrated and annoyed, she suddenly received the news from Liu Hongmei, and it was hard to believe it for a while, so she came to Hongxia to report the good news.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Hongxia couldn't help but put down the sheet music in her hand, with a look of surprise on her face.

She was not surprised at all that Zi Ning had an accident, because Zi Ning's father and brother were arrested by Ma Da from the Yandao Yamen, and she also sent Zi Ning's sister-in-law to Zi Ning's side, for which she paid a bloody fee, losing both wealth and sex.

To be honest, Hongxia didn't expect Zi Ning to pretend to be sick, and she didn't expect Liu Hongmei to let Zi Shuang replace Zi Ning, after all, Zi Shuang is her person, and if she gets a good result at the Oiran Conference, it will be due to her, wouldn't this be even more disadvantageous to Liu Hongmei?

"Sister Xia, is this true? I'm able to attend the Oiran Tournament! Zishuang happily took Hongxia's hand, she never dreamed that Zining would suddenly get sick, and then give her a precious opportunity.

"Zining's luck is not good, it seems that God is taking care of you." Hongxia laughed when she heard this, reached out and stroked the show on Zishuang's head and said, "Now that the opportunity has come, it depends on whether you can grasp it, I don't know how well you practice your songs." ”

"Sister Xia, I have been practicing hard and dare not slack off in the slightest, so that one day, I will never disgrace you at the Oiran Conference." Hearing this, Zishuang hurriedly said in a coquettish voice, with an excited look on her face.

Due to the fierce fight between Hongxia and Liu Hongmei for the helm of the Drunken Moon Pavilion, Zishuang didn't know if Hongxia would be able to bring down Liu Hongmei before the Oiran Conference, and if that case, she would replace Zining.

For this reason, Zishuang was also practicing hard when Zi Ning practiced the dance, after all, it is the dream of every Qinglou woman to participate in the Oiran Conference, which represents the highest honor of Qinglou women, and it is a stepping stone for them to become famous prostitutes.

All the Qingqi people who participated in the main competition of the Oiran tournament became famous local prostitutes, which meant that they would enjoy a privileged life, and it would be much easier for them to find a way out of high society.

"That's good, you go down and prepare, I look forward to you winning the top three in the evening." Hongxia immediately laughed when she heard this, and encouraged Zishuang, hoping that she could achieve a good result.

In fact, no matter what kind of achievements Zishuang achieves, as long as she participates in the Oiran Conference, it means that Liu Hongmei is finished, and only by obediently handing over the power in her hands and leaving, she will become the final winner and take charge of the Drunken Moon Pavilion.

As for why Liu Hongmei wanted Zishuang to replace Zining, in Hongxia's opinion, this was Liu Hongmei's helpless move, did she want to let Zining, who was in no state, appear?

However, Hongxia didn't think that this was where Liu Hongmei was wiser than her, if she were to be replaced, she would definitely not let Zishuang appear, and would rather choose someone else, so that she would not let her opponent benefit from it, which would damage the interests of Drunken Moon Pavilion.

"Hmm!" Zishuang greeted happily, and then went down to prepare in high spirits, she was going to show off her strength at the Oiran Conference tonight.

Yandao Yamen is not far from Zuiyue Pavilion, Liu Hongmei arrived quickly by carriage, and after inquiring with the officials who are familiar with the yamen, she immediately understood why Zining's father and brother were arrested and sent to the yamen's prison.

It turned out that someone had secretly reported to the Yandao Yamen that Zining's father and brother were involved in smuggling smuggled salt, and they were out-and-out salt lords, and some evidence was provided for this.

The official who handled the case was Ma Dahai, the judge of the Lianghuai Yandao Yamen Cong Liupin, who was also known as "Lord Ma" in Hongxia's mouth, and ordered Zining's father and brother to be put in prison, and no one was allowed to visit him on the grounds that he was a "salt lord".

Liu Hongmei was slightly stunned when she learned that the presiding judge was Ma Dahai, because Ma Dahai was Hongxia's benefactor and had a close relationship with Hongxia, could this matter be related to Hongxia.

However, now that the situation is urgent, Liu Hongmei can't take care of it much, and wants to go to Ma Dahai, but Ma Dahai and other officials above the seventh grade of the Yandao Yamen have gone to greet Nanjing Hubu Shangshu, because the scene is all officials of the imperial court, so she can't see Ma Dahai at all with her identity.

In desperation, Liu Hongmei had no choice but to ask the owner of the Drunken Moon Pavilion for help, because now there are many dignitaries and nobles in Yangzhou City, and the owner of the Drunken Moon Pavilion is accompanying the distinguished guests from Nanjing City along with some of the leading figures of Yangzhou City.

Liu Hongmei finally handed the news to the owner of the Drunken Moon Pavilion, but the owner of the Drunken Moon Pavilion was powerless now, at this time, there were many distinguished guests in Yangzhou City, and the affairs were busy, so he couldn't take the time to solve the matter of Zining's father and brother.

Moreover, Zining's father and brother are involved in the crime of "salt lord", and now there are many high-ranking officials in Yangzhou City, and the salt patrol imperial history is also here, Ma Dahai will not choose to release people in the face of the owner, in case this matter is stabbed out, then he will be unlucky.

Therefore, even if Ma Dahai releases people, he can only wait until the high-ranking officials in Yangzhou City disperse, so as not to cause any trouble.

The proprietor of the Drunken Moon Pavilion asked Liu Hongmei to tell Zi Ning that he would definitely rescue Zi Ning's father and brother, and let Zi Ning participate in the Oiran Conference at night with peace of mind, and that all the dignitaries and nobles in Yangzhou City would be present to watch, which was her chance to get ahead.

Liu Hongmei was naturally very disappointed by this, although she had the owner's guarantee, if she couldn't see her father and brother at night, it would inevitably affect Zining's state, which was an oiran that could not tolerate the slightest mistake.

"Boss Liu, things are not going well?" When Liu Hongmei returned to the Drunken Moon Pavilion, Li Hongyu saw that her expression was gloomy and knew that she was in trouble, so he asked in a deep voice.

"Don't hide it from Li Gongzi, now that there are many high-ranking officials in the city, I'm afraid it will not be easy to get the Yandao Yamen to release Zining's father and brother." Liu Hongmei smiled bitterly, and apologized to Li Hongyu with a gloomy expression, "It seems that it is better to let Zishuang fight at night, but in this way, the child's hard work will be in vain." ”

Saying that, Liu Hongmei solemnly bowed to Li Hongyu, with Zining's current state, there was no way to participate in the competition.

"Boss Liu is serious, and it is an honor to be looked down upon by Boss Liu."

Seeing this, Li Hongyu hurriedly waved his hand to Liu Hongmei, and then said with a deep groan, "There is still a way to go now, but I don't know if Boss Liu dares to do it." ”

"What way?" Liu Hongmei looked at Li Hongyu in surprise when she heard this, she didn't know what Li Hongyu meant, but now she had been forced into a desperate situation.

"I heard that the Imperial History of Patrol Salt is already in Yangzhou City, if he can come forward, then Zining's father and brother have a chance to be released from prison." Li Hongyu looked at Liu Hongmei and said in a deep voice, "It's just that if you do this, you will offend the people of the Yandao Yamen, especially the officials who handle the case." ”

"How can the Salt Patrol Imperial History be so easy to see, even if he knows about this matter, it is unknown whether he will give us the decision of the Drunken Moon Pavilion."

Liu Hongmei couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard this, she was not afraid to go to see the Salt Imperial History, after all, the people of the Yandao Yamen couldn't manage the Zuiyue Pavilion, and this matter was obviously framed by Zining's father and brother, she didn't believe that the people of the Yandao Yamen accepted benefits.

But with the current situation, Lord Salt Patrol Yushi must also be busy with entertainment in the officialdom, where does he have the heart to investigate the case of Zining's father and brother.

"Boss Liu, I feel that the more I patrol the salt imperial history at this time, the more I dare not slack off, there are many high-ranking officials in Yangzhou City, once there is any chaos, it will not end well."

Li Hongyu knew Liu Hongmei's worries, so he groaned and said, "Maybe things will take a turn for the better!" ”

Liu Hongmei suddenly fell silent when she heard this, pondering Li Hongyu's words, how did she know that Li Hongyu had already paved the way for her, as long as she went to see the Salt Patrol Imperial History, then the Salt Patrol Imperial History would immediately start investigating the case of Zining's father and brother.

"Okay, I'll go to see the Salt Patrol Imperial History, even if I don't want to fight for this old life, I have to sue this case!" For a long time, under Li Hongyu's silent gaze, Liu Hongmei made up her mind, bowed to Li Hongyu and said, "Li Gongzi, the matter here will be handed over to you, you have to worry about it." ”

"It's just a matter of effort." Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, it was obvious that Liu Hongmei had made a correct decision, saving him from spending more energy to plan this matter.

"Brother Sheng, where's Boss Liu?" When Li Hongyu walked into the room, Yang Li'er, who was comforting Zining, couldn't help but look behind him curiously, and didn't see Liu Hongmei.

"Boss Liu went to find the Imperial History of Salt Patrol."

Li Hongyu first smiled at Yang Li'er, and then said to Zi Ning, "Miss Zi Ning, Boss Liu gave up his life for you, what you have to do now is to wait quietly for Boss Liu to come back, I believe Boss Liu will bring good news." ”

"Sir, don't worry, Zining knows how to do it." Zi Ning's eyes couldn't help but turn red when she heard this, and she bit her lip and nodded to Li Hongyu, she knew that Liu Hongmei had done her best for her things.

"Prepare for the evening competition with peace of mind, as long as it is not until the last minute, everything will turn around." Seeing Zi Ning's pitiful appearance, Li Hongyu sighed and comforted him, for a girl in the mood for love, Zi Ning was under tremendous psychological pressure at this time.

"Li Gongzi, it's time for us to leave for Wanhuatang." At this time, the middle-aged maid beside Liu Hongmei walked in, bowed to Li Hongyu and said, Liu Hongmei entrusted the matter to Li Hongyu before leaving, so the middle-aged maid is now listening to Li Hongyu's words.

As a Qinglou participating in the Oiran Conference, it is natural to rush to Wanhuatang in advance to prepare, in addition to drawing lots to determine the order of appearance, but also to adapt to the atmosphere of the scene, you must know that the opportunity to attract so many officials and nobles to come is very rare, which will give a lot of psychological pressure to those who participate in the competition.

In fact, in addition to the Qinglou in Yangzhou, those Qinglou from other places rushed to Wanhuatang early in the morning to prepare, the purpose of which was to make the Qingqi people adapt to the atmosphere of the scene as soon as possible.

Zining had been to Wanhuatang many times, so she was very familiar with the environment inside, so she didn't have to go to the field in advance, but she also had to rush to prepare as soon as possible.

Li Hongyu naturally knew this rule, and when he heard this, he nodded to the middle-aged maid, and rushed to Wanhuatang with Yang Li'er and Zi Ning.

It is worth mentioning that along with Li Hongyu and others, there are also the refreshed Hongxia and the high-spirited Zishuang, especially Zishuang, who has changed into a full costume, looks delicate and beautiful, and her appearance is comparable to Zining.

Li Hongyu secretly glanced at Zishuang who was excited, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes, Zishuang didn't know now that she was just accompanying the prince to study, and it was not her turn to play at the Oiran Conference at night.
