Chapter 21: Into the Tiger's Den

Chapter 21:

Hao Fenglou was indeed tired, and when he woke up, it was already dark, Ling Xue came back panting, and said, "I found out the news." ”

Hao Fenglou perked up: "What news?" ”

Ling Xue said: "This Li Jinglong has to go to a place called Yihong Courtyard every night to eat flower wine. ”

Hao Fenglou said: "Go every night? ”

Ling Xue nodded.

Hao Fenglou slapped the case fiercely, his eyes were foggy, and he said with class hatred: "Beast! ”

Ling Xue said: "It is said that Nayi Hongyuan is the most beautiful green building in Nanjing, and the guests in it are all squandering money, and it is not uncommon to squander hundreds of gold overnight. ”

Hao Fenglou gritted his teeth and said: "Playing with women and corrupting the social atmosphere, such a scumbag is really hateful." After pondering for a moment, he continued: "At this time, is Li Jinglong in that Yihong Courtyard? ”

Ling Xue said: "It should be there." ”

"Okay, let's go there." Hao Fenglou clenched his fists and said: "In order to serve King Yan, for the sake of appeasement, even if Yihong Courtyard is a tiger's den in Longtan, I have to break through." ”

Ling Xue said, "Okay." After thinking about it, he said, "Wait, I'll go change my clothes, and I happened to bring men's clothes." ”

Hao Fenglou couldn't help but say, "You go too?" ”

Ling Xue smiled brightly: "I also want to serve King Yan, for the sake of Jingjing." ”

Hao Fenglou touched his forehead and asked speechlessly.

Ling Xue really changed into men's clothes, with a scarf on her head, wearing an ordinary rich son's Confucian shirt, slightly disguised, like a well-carved son, she waved a fan in front of Hao Fenglou, and shook it gently: "Let's go." ”

The night market in Nanjing City is the most prosperous, a city wall divides the inside and outside into two shijie, the wind outside is loud, the people are panicked, but the city is still brightly lit, bustling. Hao Fenglou couldn't help sighing: "The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings ** flowers across the river, hey, you see this medicine shop, the scale is grand, it's really rare, and this ready-to-wear shop......"

In a trance, Hao Fenglou seemed to have returned to the pedestrian street of the later generations, with the bustling flow of people, and the brightly lit shijie was a little strange and a little familiar.

In the distance, there are many green buildings located together, one of which is the most grandiose, the lights are brilliant, the huge archway is written on the three gilded characters of the Yihong Courtyard, Hao Fenglou waved his fan, and couldn't help but shake his head: "Corruption, corruption." ”

Ling Xue was about to step forward, but Hao Fenglou stopped her: "How much silver did you bring?" ”

"Silver ......" Ling Xue was in a trance for a moment, and said: "There are seven or eight taels of broken silver, this trip is just a rebellion, only the expenses along the way, and the inn also has ten taels of silver." ”

Hao Fenglou couldn't help but stroke his forehead and said, "Seven or eight taels of broken silver dare to come to this kind of place?" Do you know that the Qinglou in Songjiang Mansion costs three or four taels of tea for the entrance alone, and it is even more expensive in Zhenjiang, because there are many business trips to and fro, at least five taels, do you know what it means to sell the treasury? This is the sales vault, this Yihong Courtyard is one of the best green buildings in the world, there are no ten taels or twenty taels of silver, I am afraid that people will be driven out before they go in. PIAO prostitutes don't bring money, which is a big taboo. ”

Ling Xue frowned, revealing her daughter's appearance, and said, "How do you know so clearly?" ”

Hao Fenglou's old face turned red, and he immediately said, "It's just hearsay." ”

Ling Xue said: "Why don't we wait here, wait for that Li Jinglong to come out, and then we will find a way to get to know him?" ”

Hao Fenglou despised her: "You greet him on the street, but I'm afraid that if no one sees him, his dog legs will open you, and it is naturally the most suitable thing to make friends in Yihong Courtyard, just think of a way." ”

Ling Xue was confused, there was a way if she didn't have money?

But I saw Hao Fenglou squinting and carefully looking at the crowd shuttling outside the Yihong Courtyard, shaking his fan and looking at something with his eyes half-open and half-closed, until a gray carriage arrived at the door, and a big-bellied businessman came down, this businessman glanced left and right, and was about to go in, Hao Fenglou's eyes flashed a trace of fine light, and he quickly stepped forward and said, "Slow!" ”

Ling Xue smiled bitterly, this guy didn't know what to do.

The businessman stopped, and at this time Hao Fenglou had already arrived, Hao Fenglou smiled, and then said: "Chen Dongjia, long time no see." No, no, students should call you your cousin. ”

The merchant was confused for a moment and said, "We know each other? ”

Hao Fenglou said: "Why don't you know?" A few months ago, I also went to the pharmacy to look for my cousin, and that day my cousin was still angry, hey, your Chen family has a big business, I am a poor relative, I don't move around often, and I have to visit my cousin in Nanjing this time. ”

This businessman's surname is indeed Chen, but as soon as he heard the word cousin, his face suddenly changed a little, and Ai Ai said: "Ah, I remembered, it turned out to be you, everyone is a relative, let's go inside to talk." ”

Hao Fenglou shook his head, and said with a shy look in his pocket: "No, no, I'm just passing through here." ”

It's a pity that this businessman surnamed Chen was anxious, pulled Hao Fenglou, who was leaving, and said, "What are these words?" Don't worry, after you go in, I'll take care of all the expenses as the elder, go, let's have two drinks. ”

Hao Fenglou was very embarrassed and said: "Okay, it's hard to be gracious." ”

Ling Xue behind him was dumbfounded, feeling that everyone in this shijie was crazy, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

At this time, seeing Hao Fenglou and the businessman surnamed Chen entering, she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly dodged to follow up.

Hao Fenglou greeted the merchant surnamed Chen all the way, and entered the Yihong Courtyard, which is a pattern of three in and three out, with a heavy attic, full of shuttle scholars and merchants, from time to time there is a song and swallow dance, the pink lantern is flushed, the merchant surnamed Chen is familiar with the road, and whispers a few words to the little guy inside, the little guy understands, nods, and leads him to a side room to serve wine and food.

The merchant surnamed Chen gave a reward of silver, and then he and the little maid chose the powder to accompany the wine.

Ling Xue was full of doubts, and was about to ask, Hao Fenglou smiled: "What, are you thinking, why does this Chen Dongjia have to invite us to drink flower wine?" ”

Hao Fenglou smiled slightly: "When I first saw this person, I felt that this person was strange, you see him in and out of such a green building, he must be worth a lot of money, and most of the people who can come here are rich and noble, even ordinary honest people dare not come." But his carriage and horses are not luxurious, they are rented at first glance, and although the clothes on his body are decent, they are just ordinary, so I expect that although he has a lot of money, he is very low-key, he must be hiding something, what is a person with a lot of money afraid of when he goes to a kiln? It's nothing more than a fear of guilt, most of it is his mother-in-law who is powerful, he came to steal, and he was afraid of finding out, so he was so low-key. ”

"So when I got close to him, I found that he had a smell of medicine, and the person who was full of the smell of medicine was either a sick seedling, or a pharmacy, you see that he can come to the Qinglou to have fun and be in good spirits, and he is definitely not a sick seedling. So I just said that I had visited him at the pharmacy in the past. ”

Ling Xue was still suspicious: "But how do you know that his surname is Chen?" ”

Hao Fenglou said lightly: "This is easy, when I came here, there were seven pharmacies, and the slightly higher grade was the Chen Ji Pharmacy, if it was an ordinary small trader, he would definitely not dare to come here, only the Chen Ji Pharmacy was large in scale and hired as many people, so people who bought and sold in a big business would dare to come here to sell gold." ”

"I stepped forward directly, first called him Chen Dongjia, and then mentioned the pharmacy, although he saw me face to face, but also began to wonder if he had dealt with me in the past, and I claimed to be his cousin, he acquiesced in his heart, because a wealthy person like him, God knows how many relatives come to tie up, even if there are not a thousand, at least eight hundred, and there are many relatives who are only playing with eight poles, and he is definitely not interested in remembering it as a person. It's just that he came out of the micro-suit, and his mother-in-law must not know, so I said that I was going to visit my cousin in a few days, and he was scared, for fear that I would not intend to say something that should not be said at that time, so I ......" Hao Fenglou haha smiled: "In order to buy me, he has to let him accompany him to have fun, between men, what is the most reliable relationship?" Yes, of course...... haha……”

Ling Xue suddenly realized, and couldn't help but say, "There are so many mysteries in it, I thought that person was crazy." Then Zhengse said: "But we are here now, but I don't know which room Li Jinglong is in, if you take the liberty to look for someone now, it is easy to make people suspicious, but sitting here, wouldn't it be a trip in vain?" ”

Hao Fenglou nodded, he remembered that he was not looking for fun, although he had a big treat, but it was important to complete the task. How can I get to know Li Jinglong? If you go to the door, people will definitely suspect you of what intentions you have, even if you don't think deeply, you will look down on the people who come up, and you have to let the other party find you, but how to make Li Jinglong come up?

He pondered for a moment and glanced at Ling Xue: "I'll find a way." ”

When the words fell, Chen Dongjia led a few fans to come, and a few fans came up, all of them were quite colorful, most of them were plump, and I thought this was the taste of Chen Dongjia.
