Chapter 181: The Brothel Turmoil
Su Liang walked out quickly, walked in again after a while, and said to Fan Ning: "Fan Ning, there is a little matter, can you accompany me on a trip?" ”
"Yes!"
Fanning stepped forward and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" ”
Su Liang quickly glanced at Cheng Yuanyuan, and said with a reluctant smile: "It's not a big deal, just go and know." ”
He said to Cheng Yuanyuan again: "Yuanyuan, I'll be back soon." ”
Fan Ning saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, it was estimated that something had happened, and he didn't want to ask too much.
Su Liang went back to the house and took the money bag, and whispered to Fan Ning: "Let's go!" ”
Walking out of the distance, Fanning asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Su Liang sighed, "Just now a brothel guy came to the door, saying that Cheng Ze's money had been lost and there was no money to pay the bill, so let's ransom people." ”
"What?"
Only then did Fan Ning understand that Cheng Ze was not in the room last night, but actually went to a brothel and gambled.
Fan Ning's face suddenly became gloomy, Cheng Ze actually had this vice.
He glanced at Su Liang and sneered: "He has this problem, you already know it, right?" ”
Su Liang's lips pursed: "I probably know a little, I know that he is more lustful, he is bent on marrying a Qinglou woman, so he refuses to go on a blind date at home." ”
"And you still like his sister?"
"These are two different things, and Yuan Yuan also hates his brother's bad habits." Su Liang hurriedly distinguished.
"Forget it, now I won't tell you, redeem the person first, and then I'll talk to you well, you're a little dizzy during this time."
Su Liang bit his lip, he was also very annoyed in his heart, he liked Yuanyuan very much, but he didn't want to be a lascivious and gambling brother.
The two walked out of the alley, only to see a guy wearing a hat and a green coat standing at the mouth of the alley, only about fourteen or fifteen years old, he looked very delicate, but there was an indescribable obscenity in his temperament.
"Come with me! It's just a short walk ahead. ”
Fan Ning walked about a mile north from their residence to West Yulin Street, which is famous for its many prostitution houses, and there are more than ten prostitution houses on the street less than a mile.
It's morning, it's snowing again, and the streets are still relatively quiet, but it doesn't mean that business is bad, and many scholars are still nostalgic for the gentle countryside.
And it is usually not until after the evening that the street begins to come alive.
This period coincided with the imperial examination, and young scholars from the capitals of the Great Song Dynasty gathered in the capital, and many scholars of course took this opportunity to sleep in the willows.
Although every time the imperial examination is held, the Ministry of Rites has repeatedly reiterated that it is strictly forbidden to refer to scholars to visit the Qinglou prostitution hall, and once caught, they will be disqualified from the imperial examination.
Although the regulations are strict, they still can't stop the young and turbulent hearts of the scholars, and the major prostitution halls in the capital are doing very well at this time.
Every time the imperial examination was held, many unlucky scholars were caught by the joint inspection team of the Ministry of Rites and Kaifeng Prefecture, and were disqualified from participating in the provincial examination.
Fanning and Su Liang followed the servant to a mansion surrounded by high walls, which seemed to be the mansion of a large family, but was actually a prostitution house.
There are two gardenia lanterns hanging above the gate, and when you see this gardenia lantern, you know that this is the place of wind and moon.
Next to the gate is a large light box, which will be filled with candles at night, and will be particularly eye-catching at night, no less than the neon signs of later generations.
There are three big characters written on the light box, 'Hakuho Pavilion'.
The little guy in Tsing Yi has always been "two little officials, this is it." ”
Fan Ning looked at the three words 'White Phoenix Pavilion', and he said to Su Liang with a calm face: "You go in and redeem him!" I'm waiting here, there's not enough money to find me. ”
Su Liang sighed in his heart, he knew that Fan Ning didn't want to step into this kind of place, and he didn't want to step into it himself, but who made Cheng Fatzi likely to be his future eldest brother?
"I'll be out right away!"
Su Liang had no choice but to follow the little guy in Tsing Yi into the White Phoenix Pavilion.
.......
Fan Ning was pacing back and forth on the street outside, Su Liang had been in for a long time, but he had not come out, which made Fan Ning have an inexplicable worry.
Su Liang is not like himself, although he has a immature body, his heart is very vicissitudes, Su Liang is far from being physically and psychologically mature, he entered a brothel, will he be ......
Fan Ning regretted it a little, it should have been him who went in to redeem people, not let Su Liang in.
At this moment, a group of disheveled soldiers rushed out of the brothel next door, one by one, terrified, and ran to the alley across the street.
Immediately afterwards, in another brothel not far away, many scholars ran out in a panic.
Fanning was stunned, grabbed one of them, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Run! The patrol team has come to arrest someone. The scholar broke free from Fanning's hands and fled.
By this time, Fanning had seen a group of soldiers running towards him.
He was also anxious, if Su Liang was caught, he would lose his qualification to participate in the provincial examination.
Not only can't you take the exam this time, but if this kind of imperial examination is interrupted, you will have to take the exam again next time, and the consequences will be very serious.
Just like Pei Guang, an assistant teacher at Yanying Academy, he had already taken the exam six years ago, but because of his father's death three years ago, he did not enter Beijing for reference, because the imperial examination was interrupted, which caused his qualification to directly participate in the provincial examination this year disappeared.
Pei Guang can only retake the test this year, but he will lose his name to Sun Shan, and he will have to wait for another three years to take the test again, and if he fails again, I am afraid he will not have confidence.
Su Liang was Fan Ning's best friend, and he didn't want Su Liang to suffer the same fate as Pei Guang.
Seeing a group of soldiers rushing straight to the side of the White Phoenix Pavilion.
Fanning gritted his teeth and rushed straight into the brothel.
……….
The brothel is still different from the ordinary mansion, in the middle is a large courtyard with more than a dozen small courtyards distributed in it.
Fanning is a little big, where to find Su Liang?
In desperation, he shouted, "The patrol team of the Ministry of Rites is here!" ”
When he shouted, the courtyards suddenly began to stir, and several scholars took the lead in running out and asked urgently, "Is it true?" The patrol is coming? ”
"It's true, let's go!"
Several gentlemen rushed to the brothel, and at this time, the old bustard of the brothel also shouted, "Everyone hurry up, the patrol team is coming!" ”
The whole brothel was in chaos, and I don't know how many scholars rushed out of the various small courtyards.
At this time, dozens of soldiers rushed in from outside the gate, and an official shouted: "Patrol team of the official department, everyone is not allowed to run around." ”
Fan Ning didn't see Su Liang, and at the same time as the soldiers entered the compound, he found that there were also soldiers coming in at the back door, and if he didn't leave, he was afraid that he would be caught.
was caught in a brothel, and he couldn't wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
In desperation, Fanning ran towards a small door on the side.
When I ran through the small door, I found that this was actually the kitchen, with a few large square tables in the open space in the middle, and next to it was a long row of stoves, which were stacked with iron pot steamers.
On the other side, under the base of the wall, there are dozens of earthen jars, and I don't know whether they are wine or pickles.
At a glance, Fanning saw a person hiding under the table, disheveled, and looking very embarrassed.
Fanning smiled: "It's useless for Brother Tai to hide underneath. ”
"Thank you for the reminder!"
This voice seemed a little familiar, Fan Ning was slightly stunned, and when the people under the table came out, both of them were stunned.
The sergeant under the table is none other than Xu Ji, who formed an indissoluble feud in Pingjiang Mansion three years ago.
Neither of them expected that they would meet at this awkward time and in this awkward place, and for a while, both of them were a little stunned.
At this moment, a brothel boy ran in, muttering and complaining: "If you have to eat at this time, you will know that you will eat, and you will be killed!" ”
He suddenly found two gentlemen in the kitchen and was startled, "It's useless for you to hide here, get out quickly!" ”
Fan Ning saw that the little guy was wearing a brown short coat and wide-legged bloomers, his heart moved, and he hurriedly took out five taels of silver from his arms, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Little brother, sell me the clothes and pants, five taels of silver!" ”
The little guy's eyes widened, "Five taels of silver?" ”
"Five taels!" Fanning placed a silver ingot on the table.
The little guy almost didn't hesitate to take off his clothes and pants, take off his man's hat, stuff it to Fanning, and turned around and ran away with five taels of silver, five taels of silver, he would be a fool if he didn't do it.
Fan Ning also ignored Xu Ji behind him, he quickly changed into the clothes and pants of the little guy, put on the man's hat, picked up an empty food box, and went out.
Xu Ji swallowed his saliva, this is a good way, if Fan Ning succeeds, he is also ready to try, he touched his arms, there are two taels of silver, Xu Ji scolded secretly.
He crept up to the door, wondering if Fanning could use this method to get out.
Fan Ning walked quickly towards the gate with the food box, the courtyard was full of dejected scholars, Fan Ning walked past the scholars and came directly to the gate.
Two soldiers stopped him, "What are you going to do?" ”
Fan Ning bowed down and said, "Master Qiqi, Miss Yuxiu is very sick, I will give the girl medicine in the Medical Welfare Hall!" ”
When the soldier saw that he looked like a young man, and indeed a small man, he did not suspect it, so he waved his hand, "Go!" ”
"Master Xie!"
Fanning saluted and went out unhurriedly.
He walked into the alley across the street, and was sure that the other party could not see him, so he turned back and hid behind a large tree to look at the gate.
