"Liang Yuan is full of singing and dancing,

Wine is like a knife to relieve sorrow.

Remembering the joy of youth,

The lights are on the Fan Tower in the middle of the night. ”

This poem is a poem written by Zhu Xi's teacher Liu Zihui when he returned to Fujian to work as an official and give lectures after the Jingkang Revolution, recalling the scene in Tokyo when he was a teenager.

The Fan Tower mentioned in this poem is the No. 1 luxury hotel in Tokyo at present, located in the bustling neighborhood outside the Donghua Gate of the Imperial City: Donghuamen Street. At the beginning, Yang Zhi was down-and-out to sell knives, and he was the captain of the flower king he met here. According to the secret rumors circulating in the officialdom, many officials are here today, and they have a tryst with the famous prostitute Li Shishi in Tokyo.

There are thousands of hotels of all sizes in Tokyo, but only 72 are truly famous, and can be equated with the high-end top in the hearts of the people and officials in the capital. Each of these hotels has its own characteristics, but none of them can threaten the status of Fan Lou, the top of the industry.

However, this situation persisted until the beginning of this year, and there were some subtle changes.

It is said that at the entrance of Quyuan Street in Tokyo, there is a Yuxian Building, which was originally considered to be one of the top ten old hotels in the industry, but because last year it suddenly met a certain waiter of the backer who was old and old, and the owner was anxious to redeem the store.

However, because the price of the store was very high, no one took over for a while, and the owner of the store had no intention of operating, so the store deteriorated, so it dragged on for half a year, and a hotel that was originally standing in the first-class echelon was now reduced to the second rate, and it couldn't stop the downward trend.

In the end, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, a Confucian in Kaifeng Mansion was a middle-aged person, and a merchant from Shandong was ordered at a more fair price, but this price made the owner almost vomit blood, because it was less than sixty percent away from the reserve price he expected in his heart.

Helpless, who told the store to drag on for half a year. The popularity is no longer there, and there are the public people of Kaifeng Mansion who are desperate to help bargain, and the store only needs to make less money, so the money and goods are lost before the Spring Festival. From this incident, people who know the industry have seen some doorways, this young businessman from Shandong, I am afraid that there is the shadow of Teng Fuyin behind him, and there is a good chance that there are dry shares of this person in this store. Otherwise, how could the people of Kaifeng Mansion work so hard to bargain, and soon after the store reopened, there was a disturbance. The officials of Kaifeng Mansion came faster than anyone else, and they were more poisonous than the thugs in the store?

That's it, this store is reopened, and the name of the store hasn't even changed, it's still called "Yuxian Building", but the layout of the store has been changed slightly, and all the little two have been dismissed, and they have been replaced by the merchant's hometown, but the original courtesans have all stayed. even spent a lot of money to dig a lot from other stores, which made many stores complain, but unfortunately after Teng Yanei led different rich friends to this hotel for three days, the scolding gradually became much less.

If it was just the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture or his son who took a stake in a hotel. This is nothing, and it has no impact on other top hotels, after all, the new owner of this hotel is still very discerning, and the poachers have not poached their door. The point is that there are some new things coming out of this shop from time to time, which are very attractive to drinkers, and have begun to affect their business.

For example, what kind of cross talk is called. It is similar to the popular hundred operas, and it is very different, although they are all set up on a stage, or one person, or two people, or three or five people, but this shop has made up the anecdotes of the current situation through artistic processing, and then made up a joke to tell it in a colorful way. As for the effect, at the beginning, Teng Yanei, who had seen the scene, just came to cheer and the nature of the town store, but later he didn't need to be called, and he soaked in the hotel all day long, so he had to listen to people talk about cross talk, and he never got tired of it.

This is secondary, and what is even worse is that the courtesans in this shop often have a lot of new words coming out of their mouths, which are not only exquisite, but also have different genres, which people never get tired of listening to. For a while, people who are vassal and elegant go to this store more often to open their eyes. In less than a month or two, some officials of the DPRK and China began to get involved in it and lingered.

In this case, the courtesans in other stores are envious, and even Fan Lou's several top brands Xu Poxi, Feng Yinu, Sun Sansi, and Wang Jingnu all expressed distress on different occasions.

Everyone was unwilling, and they all used their own channels to use their own channels to get close to the little brother of Yuxian Lou's Dongjiale, just to get an excellent new song from him, in order to overwhelm the crowd.

"Youba!" (Slang used by Tokyo citizens in the Song Dynasty to express their appreciation)

Hearing the cross talk on the stage to talk about the subtlety, everyone couldn't help but applaud, at this time they saw the hotel shopkeeper Lao Wang passing by, and a rich man stopped him with a smile on his face and said: "Lao Wang, what is the owner of your family?" I haven't seen anyone for half a day! ”

Seeing that it was Teng Yanei who was asking, the shopkeeper Wang hurriedly stepped forward and said with a wry smile: "Le Dongjia still doesn't know?" Behind closed doors in the back and thinking about words. Li Xingshou asked someone to bring a message, and wanted a new song, but our owner couldn't shirk it, isn't this just thinking hard! ”

Teng Yanei was stunned for a moment, interrupted the shopkeeper Wang, and said, "Which Li Xingshou is the head?" The fox friends and dog friends around him stopped talking when they heard this, but opened their ears like rabbits.

The shopkeeper looked around mysteriously, leaned in front of him, and did not avoid these people, but only whispered: "Master Li!" ”

Teng Ya showed a look of surprise on his face, and immediately covered it up, but there was still a sour expression in his words: "The scene of your owner is getting bigger and bigger, I see, this Tokyo city will be left to him sooner or later!" ”

"Isn't it a blessing in the Toya? Besides, our store is also the owner, but you can't treat yourself as an outsider! The shopkeeper of the king said "angrily".

Teng Yanei laughed when he heard this, feeling that he had a lot of face in front of his gang, and immediately said: "Can speak, can speak!" Gotcha, busy with your go, don't care about us, it's all your own family! ”

Shopkeeper Wang said goodbye with a smile, but he heard Teng Yanei's voice greeting his friend from behind, "What Fan Lou, I can't even afford a talented lyricist, I think it's still interesting for us here, and my brother will come to cheer for him in the future!" But let's say it, I can't talk to what I said in this cross talk: Eat monkeys for white (eat white food)! In addition, you can't make trouble, otherwise you won't give Teng someone face! ”

When the shopkeeper Wang heard the words behind him, the smile on his face became a little sarcastic, but he didn't look back, walked to the corridor at the back of the hotel where there were two juniors waiting, and went up to a back building that was not open to the public. Walking to the front of a room, he knocked on the door five times in a hurry, the door opened from the inside, and a handsome white face came out, but it wasn't Liang Shanbo who visited the leader Tie called Zi Lehe?

Lehe let the shopkeeper Wang in, poured him a cup of tea, and asked, "How is it?" ”

"I have already found out clearly, it happened that the two Tui Cheng of Dali Temple were drinking outside at noon, and they said that the official family did not mean to burn to death, and the case was pushed to Dali Temple. Listening to the tone of those two pushers, the heaviest punishment is no more than a stabbing match! ”

"My brother guessed accurately, although this official family is a faint king, he is not a tyrant, so it will be much easier for us to do it!" Le He sighed when he heard this, and said: "Inform the people of the action team, tell them to collect their respective stalls, and they are all staying at home, waiting for my news these days!" ”

Ryoyama's infiltrated personnel in Tokyo. It is divided into two categories, one is to follow Lehe to open a hotel, all of which are smart and reliable people selected by Zhu Gui personally, and the biggest characteristic of these people is that they are smart. Except for the one or twenty people watching the scene, the other junior two have never practiced kung fu, for fear that the public will see through it. On the other hand, there are people with martial arts. On the surface, these people have nothing to do with the hotel, and they make a living in the city of Tokyo by doing their own petty business. Only if there is a task. will be gathered. These people, a total of 50 people, are the secret weapon of Joy.

Shopkeeper Wang nodded and said, "I'll call someone to inform them!" It's just that...... Owner, I always feel that this matter is not so simple, why do you say Gao Yu is beating his mouth? Recommend Hu Yanzhuo but denounce them? Don't there be something else hidden! Landlord...... You said that if Gao Yu wanted to kill these people halfway, what should he do? ”

Le He frowned when he heard this, sat back on the chair, and muttered for a long time before he said: "What you said is not unreasonable, if Gao Yu wants to harm Hu Yanzhuo and the three of them, he will inevitably send his henchmen and masters on the road, and our brothers in the capital are afraid that they are not opponents!" The two pushers said that they didn't say when they would be judged? ”

"It's been said, it's been in the past three or two days!" Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly replied.

"Only three or two days? How can it be so fast! Le He's eyebrows wrinkled into a Sichuan character, and he said to himself: "It's too late to invite two armed leaders from the cottage now, it's difficult to do this!" ”

Seeing Lehe falling into deep thought, the shopkeeper Wang did not dare to urge. Originally, the old people in the cottage hotel looked down on Lehe, a small prison from a remote state capital, but under the strict order of Brother Zhu Gui, he was reluctant to let him call, who knew that this little prison actually gained a foothold in this Tokyo city in a very short time, which not only impressed them with these old people, but also won their trust and support.

"I'm going to find out Teng Yanei's tone to see what kind of enmity this Gao Yu has with Hu Yanzhuo, why do you have to do such a big thing to hurt your face!" After Le He finished speaking, he got up and was about to go out with the shopkeeper Wang, and suddenly stood up and said, "What is Peng Xi doing now?" ”

"The owner, invite the people of Dali Temple to eat at noon, it's this Peng Xi!" The shopkeeper replied.

"Then you didn't say it earlier?" Le He couldn't cry or laugh a little, and when he saw the innocent look of the shopkeeper Wang, he said: "I almost missed big news, don't do it in the future!" Let someone follow him, but don't follow him too closely! ”

"Yes, yes, it's the villain's negligence!" Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly said, he really didn't want to deceive Lehe, but this matter was not important, and he didn't talk about it for a while. At this time, he was blamed by Le He for two sentences, thinking about making amends, and stepped forward and said: "Owner, there is another matter, the villain found that there is something abnormal in the store!" ”

When Le He heard this, he felt that things were a little strict, so he hurriedly closed the door and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's not our business, but it's about the guests! That's right, there is a Taoist who is secretive, as if he is following a court wife, from yesterday to today, that woman comes, he comes, that woman goes, he also goes, and looking at the woman's appearance, he doesn't know him at all. I have followed Leader Zhu since before Brother Wang Lun was struck by lightning, I have seen a lot of this kind of ghost tricks on the rivers and lakes, I dare to guarantee that there is definitely something wrong with this Taoist priest!
