Chapter 73: The Sale of Human Flesh in the Mule and Horse Market
There are three treasures in Linzhou: fat sheep, horses and beautiful women.
The beauties of Linzhou have thin waists and fat buttocks, skin as white as jade, and that indescribable style, let you be the body of King Kong, iron heart, seeing them also makes you drunk, your hands are numb, and your legs and feet can't walk. Some people say that in this troubled era, all industries in Linzhou are withering, and tens of thousands of people in the city are supported by the girls of Bada Lane.
Bada Lane is located outside the back gate of the Thorn Mansion, which is the place where prostitutes* and brothels in Linzhou gather. During the day, it was deserted and deserted, and there was not a single ghost, but at night, it was as if it was summoned by magic, and it was called a sea of people.
In addition to the merchants and travelers who come and go from the south to the north, the bearded brother of the thirteen villages is the most popular, and the thirteen villages are the general name of the thirteen horse bandits such as the bandit You Lida by the people of Linzhou. In fact, almost none of the bearded brothers who patronized Bada Lane in Linzhou were You Lida's subordinates.
The reason is very simple, what kind of beauty doesn't have in the small Chang'an occupied by Youlida? White, black, yellow, half-white, half-black, half-yellow, half-black and non-yellow, Khitan women, Uighur women, Shatuo women, Tibetan women, Baekje, Dongying, Arab women...... I'm not afraid that you can't take it, I'm afraid that you don't have imagination, say that the beauty of the Eight Alleys is like a cloud, swim through the Hundred Flowers Palace and then return to the Bada Alley, even those who have not read the book have to chant: "Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan is not a cloud."
The Hundred Flowers Palace is the Xiaoyao Palace of Youlida and a cornucopia. If You Lida is a freak who grows up in this troubled world, then the little Chang'an he painstakingly manages is even more strange. Located in a desert oasis 180 miles west of Linzhou City, this town has a population of nearly 100,000 and a spectacular high wall and deep ditch. But in the city, apart from the barracks is the granary, apart from the grain depot is the silver storehouse, and apart from the silver storehouse is the brothels, casinos, and clear water ponds......
One of the most famous is the Hundred Flowers Palace in the south and north of the famous earthquake mountain.
It is said that three of the top ten names here were once the emperor's favorite concubines......
Three-tenths of the girls here are after the famous military generals......
Four out of ten girls were once relatives of the emperor......
The remaining three percent are all the eldest lady of the House of Poetry, the daughter of the rich family......
But here, the price of each of them is the same: 20 taels for chatting, 30 taels for listening to music, and 100 taels for wine (because it involves trade secrets, 13,821 words are omitted here)
As night falls, the Hundred Flowers Palace ushers in its most prosperous time of the day.
You Lida set the rules, anyone who is kind to the Hundred Flowers Palace can receive a special waist card, which is divided into three types: gold, silver and iron. Holding an iron license to spend time in the Baihua Palace, all 7% discount; 50% discount for silver medal; If you have a gold medal in your hand, then congratulations, you can enter and leave the Baihua Palace at will within three years, all fees are free, and you will be accompanied by the turtle Gong throughout the process, and you will definitely enjoy it.
Two gorgeous carriages stopped at the west gate of the Hundred Flowers Palace, and five young men in brocade jumped out of the car, all of whom were sixteen or seventeen young men. The leader, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old grade, showed a golden VIP waist card to the goalkeeper. A clever turtle boy immediately greeted and inquired, all the guests who held gold medals had good girls here, so the turtle prince asked: "Which girl will the prince see tonight?" ”
"Punch lines, pomegranate flowers."
"This-" Turtle Gong was a little embarrassed, "the two girls have already been packed. Don't introduce the two girls from Annan, they are both daughters of the chieftain, ** is very good. ”
"Well," the young man in brocade shook the gold medal in his hand, and the turtle boy quickly changed his words: "The young man is invited, and the little one will be arranged." ”
"I want a room with a window." The young man in brocade said leisurely, and when he saw the surprised look of Gui Gong Mianlou, he added, "The black smoke is miasma, don't pollute the ears and eyes of the master." ”
"Yes, yes," Gui Gong said in a row, leading the five of them to a private room by the window on the second floor, and the maid with a hot body and charming eyes served fragrant tea and fruit. The brocade-clothed boy took out a piece of gold and threw it into the tray, and the maid bowed and retreated. The turtle prince likes to close his mouth, and he is eligible to share thirty percent of the money he gives to the maid. The son who made such a generous shot was hard to find at that time.
"The young man will sit less, and the younger one will invite the two girls to come." The turtle man bowed and retreated, and as soon as the door closed, the joy of the house was suddenly cut off from the door.
The four brocade-clothed young men stood up vigilantly and searched the room carefully, but found nothing unusual, and then nodded to the leading brocade-clothed young man.
When the young man heard this, he walked to the window and looked out, and downstairs was the backyard of the Hundred Flowers Palace, full of carriages and sedan chairs. Across the street, not far away is the brightly lit mule and horse market, which is open at night in small Chang'an, selling neither mules nor horses, but young women and boys.
"You guys go down and look around. Be prepared in case you get started. ”
"Yes." The four brocade-clothed attendants withdrew in response and made an excuse to go downstairs.
The young man took a deep breath, stood in front of the window and looked out the window at the brightly lit and crowded mule and horse market, he slammed his fist against the wall, and shouted, "What the hell is this world!" ”
There was a knock on the door behind "Tuk Tuk", and Gui Gong pushed the door open and said softly: "Son, the two girls of Witty Words and Pomegranate Blossom are here." The boy saw two twin sisters of sixteen or seventeen years old standing behind the turtle male, the same skin as white as jade, delicate and moving, witty words holding the piano, and pomegranate flowers holding a flute in their hands.
"Two girls, please be seated." The young man in brocade said politely.
"What tune does Childe want to hear?" Punchline asked.
"Jiao Ruyan." The young man in brocade said these three words slowly, and the two women were both surprised, the song "Jiao Ruyan" was made by his father, except for the two sisters, who did not teach it to a third person. Could it be that the boy said this tune from his father?
Gui Gong had never heard this song, and when he saw the two of them showing surprise, he asked the two worriedly, "Can you play it?" ”
Witty Yu hurriedly said: "Yes, it's just that we haven't played this piece together for a long time, but I'm afraid that the fingering will be sparse." ”
"It's okay, you have time tonight, you just practice a few more times." The brocade-clothed boy said generously.
Hearing this, the turtle prince was relieved, and suddenly saw that the four attendants who accompanied him were not in the house, so he asked, "Do you want to prepare another one?" ”
"Go ask them." The young man waved his hand and added, "Don't knock on the door if you have nothing to do, the master hates being disturbed when listening to music." ”
"No one will bother you." Gu Gong bowed deeply, gently closed the door and withdrew.
As soon as the turtle man walked on his front foot, Witty Yu suddenly burst into tears, fell to his knees and begged: "Childe, you save us." ”
"Shhhhh......h ”
"Was Childe sent by his father?" Pomegranate asked anxiously.
Yang Yang sighed secretly, nodded hurriedly, but said in his heart: It turns out that they don't know that Master Li Xiaoben has been killed. In order not to cause complications, Yang Hongyang followed the words of the pomegranate flower and said: "Master Li is in prison, and he has been thinking about the two young ladies in his heart, so he asked me to save the two of them. It's hateful that the eunuchs threw two of their icy bodies into such a filthy place. ”
Witty words smiled bitterly: "My sister and I have long been defiled, and there is no longer a clean body." ”
Yang Hongyang comforted: "If you are in filth and have a clean heart, you will naturally be a pure and pure body. ”
The two girls were overjoyed when they heard this. Yang carried forward and said: "I'll save the two of you out tonight, and I'll tell the turtle to take you out for the night, if the words are offended, don't blame the two." ”
Liuhua hurriedly shook her hand and said: "No, they see that my sister and I are so close, and they never let us leave the Hundred Flowers Palace, even if they put their daughter in front of them, they won't do it." ”
Yang Hongyang frowned when he heard this, and the two daughters were also depressed when they saw this.
Yang Hongyang's eyes rolled and he smiled: "Okay, their housekeeper is not here tonight, I have a gold medal in my hand, and the turtle prince will not dare to stop me." Later, let's do a show, and we have to wronged the two young ladies. ”
Punchline said: "As long as I can get out of here, I am willing to die." ”
――――――
A turtle can only serve one gold medal guest, this is the rule of the Hundred Flowers Palace. Therefore, after the sheep carried forward into the private room, the turtle could only stay outside, neither daring to go far, nor daring to get too close. The beautiful maids in the corridor swaggered by one by one, and the turtle lord feasted his eyes and at the same time greatly played an ambiguous hand. Who let us be in the flowers? This is the benefit, play your own ambiguity and make outsiders envious.
"Bang!" There was a sudden muffled sound in the private room, "Mom's, here it is again" Guigong Zou Zou frowned, and quickly pushed open the door, a tea bowl drew an arc, "whoosh" and flew towards him, if he hadn't dodged quickly, his face would have bloomed.
The private room was already a mess, and the pomegranate flowers were lying on the ground in disheveled clothes and crying, what about the witty words, and they were half-naked and pressed on the table by the sheep**? There are so many such scenarios that practice makes perfect, and he has already mastered the skills of dealing with such crises.
"Childe, what are you doing here? The girls are not good at waiting, you can beat and scold, but if you are angry with your own body, then we will not be able to atone for their sins. The turtle man persuaded the sheep with a smiling face.
"Damn, slut, what kind of innocent ...... are you pretending" Yang Hongyang pointed to the half-naked witty words while tying his belt, "I will give you two **** tonight." ”
"You two haven't gotten up to make amends to your son." The turtle man shouted loudly, but the intention was to warn his companions at the staircase for help, at this time, there is strength when there are many people, and the guests naturally can't afford to offend, but he can't still smash the field.
"Lao Tzu is going to take them back for the night tonight!" The sheep carried forward and screamed loudly. provoked the neighbors to come out to see the excitement. Seeing a lot of lively people, Gui Gong noticed that something was wrong, he was busy giving a look to a small guy next to him and asked him to ask the housekeeper to come forward, and the little guy ran away, but was pushed by the four brocade attendants promoted by the sheep, and the people who watched the excitement laughed.
Yang Hongyang pointed to the witty words and pomegranate flowers in the house, and shouted domineeringly: "Bring these two sluts back!" ”
"No, Prince, these two girls don't ......" Before the turtle man finished speaking, he slapped the sheep in the face, and he took the gold medal and slapped the turtle father's face fiercely: "Blind your dog's eyes, see what this is?" Do you know who gets a gold medal? That's your fucking parents! ”
Gui Gong was beaten, but he couldn't say a word, and the gold medal guest himself could never afford to offend.
The guests around coaxed together, and the same consumers naturally had to cheer for their own people, not to mention such a good-looking play, it would be a pity if no one cheered for the cold scene.
Yang Hongyang pushed aside the crowd, and the four brocade-clothed attendants went downstairs with witty words and pomegranate flowers, and dozens of attendants from the Baihua Palace watched the group leave calmly, but no one dared to stop them.
The carriage had already arrived at the door, and as soon as Yang Hongyang and the two daughters got into the carriage, the groom raised his whip and shouted, and four horses pulled the carriage away. Xiao Chang'an imposed a curfew at night, but the guests holding the gold medal were green all the way to the end.
Hit the east gate of Xiaochang'an and walked for more than a mile, and suddenly there were more than 50 horsemen in front of him blocking the way. Seeing this, the two women panicked and hugged each other tremblingly. Yang Hongyang smiled and comforted: "Don't be afraid, it's your own people." After that, he helped the second daughter get out of the car and said to a young man with a baby face: "Third brother, you take the pomegranate girl away." The baby-faced boy smiled and said, "Second brother, why do you still call someone a pomegranate?" Yang Hongyang's face turned red when he heard this, and he hurriedly bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry for the two, Yang Hongyang said that he missed his mouth." ”
Pomegranate covered her mouth and smiled: "My name is Li Jasmine, and my sister's name is Li Yunlai." Remember, don't make a mistake in the future. Li Xiaomo hurriedly shouted: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, we haven't thanked the son for saving his life." The second daughter said that she picked up her clothes and thanked her, and she was so panicked that Yang Yang was in a hurry for a while.
The baby-faced boy urged, "Let's go quickly, lest they chase after trouble." ”
Yang Hongyang nodded and said, "Third brother, you ride a horse and take Miss Jasmine away." ”
"Alas," the baby-faced boy answered, took his horse, and said to Li Jasmine, "My name is Yangshan, and the carriage is too slow, so let's ride a horse." ”
Li Jasmine tilted her head and asked, "Aren't there extra horses?" Why ride a horse, isn't it tired? After that, he pushed Yangshan away and said playfully: "I can ride a horse myself." She stepped on the stirrup with one foot, and with a beautiful turn she reached the horse's back, and as soon as her knees clamped the horse's belly, the horse neighed and ran away like an arrow.
Yang Shan was dumbfounded, and Yang Hongyang was also quite surprised.
Li Yunlai sighed slightly and said, "She's like this, she has no heart and no lungs." Don't worry, the two sons, she has learned to ride a horse since she was a child, and it is no problem to walk thirty or fifty miles. ”
Yang Hongyang suddenly came to his senses and urged Yangshan: "Third brother, go and take care of it." ”
"Alas," Yangshan turned on his horse, but asked, "Shall we go back to Linzhou?" ”
"No, go to Feng'an and find the eldest brother."
