Chapter 41: Man Yan Building

Man Yan Lou is the largest brothel on Yanliu Street, when Man Yan Lou just opened, it ushered in countless businessmen and prostitutes, including wealthy businessmen, handsome sons, poor scholars, and full of learning.

Tang Yu and Li Lanqiu stood in front of Man Yanlou and looked at it, then stepped forward. The dusty woman at the door was still coquettish to greet the visitors. When they saw the two young sons, they stepped forward to say hello, but the two didn't look at many women, and walked straight to Manyan Building.

Entering the Manyan Building, the first floor is very spacious and has many dining tables. A variety of pastries, cold cuts and drinks are placed on the table.

On a simple stage in the lobby, there are six musicians playing the piano and flute on the stage, and the melodious sound echoes in the air.

Countless sons and gentry, businessmen and wealthy people are distributed in the corridors on the first and second floors, and many people are holding one or even two women, but many more people do not touch women, but gather together to talk.

There are also rooms on the second floor that are open, and you can faintly hear the conversation of men and the laughter of women.

The two of them casually found an empty table and sat down. Not long after I sat down, in the corridor on the second floor, a middle-aged woman who was slightly chubby, but did not lose her charm, walked up, leaning on the railing with her hands.

After the middle-aged woman appeared, the six singers on the first floor stopped playing, and immediately said that some people looked up at the second floor.

One of the young men dressed as a scholar with koi fish patterns embroidered on his clothes arched his hand to the woman upstairs and said, "Boss Yu, where is Miss Ling'er? Today is her big day, we have been here for so long, Boss Yu quickly invite Miss Ling'er out!"

The woman upstairs is none other than Yu Lanjiao, the owner of Manyan Building, who has a deep background and is said to have a great relationship with a certain member of the imperial court. But if you think about it, how can you open a brothel in the imperial capital be a simple person, not to mention that Manxianglou has been open for more than 20 years.

Yu Lanjiao glanced at the brocade-robed man, and said with a smile, "Giggles, is Shen Gongzi so anxious? We are not only Ling'er in Manyanlou, if Shen Gongzi is anxious, the slave family can introduce a few to Shen Gongzi." ”

"Hey, hey, Boss Yu, don't be kidding, this is full of imperial capital, which one can compare to Shangling'er girl. Shen Gongzi also said with a smile.

"Giggles, okay, okay, don't joke with you, today, all the masters can come to Manyan Building, it is the blessing of Manyan Building, and it is also the blessing of Ling'er girl. Ling'er girl, she has been obedient and sensible since she was a child, just like the daughter of the slave family, and my Ling'er, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all proficient. Now that she is going to be married, the slave family is very distressed. ”

"Hahaha, don't worry about the boss, if this son gets Miss Ling'er, he will definitely love her. Shen Gongzi said.

"Yes, yes, yes, Mother Yu, we will treat Ling'er girl well. The others also coaxed.

"Okay! Okay! So I'm relieved, I hope you can treat my family well. However, for the sake of the happiness of the slave family's baby daughter, the slave family asked for Ling'er's opinion, and my family Ling'er wrote ten pairs of upper couplets, and someone can answer a pair and make my family Ling'er satisfied, you can get a qualification. And the bidders are among these ten people. After all, the slave family also has to think about my family's Ling'er. Boss Yu said charmingly.

"Auction!" Tang Yu and Li Lanqiu couldn't help frowning when they heard these two words, didn't they say that they were choosing a son-in-law, how did they become a bid. The two frowned and glanced at each other.

"Good, good, quick...... Quickly take out the pair, Ben Gongzi is already impatient. Shen Gongzi said.

"Yes, yes! This son just brought Mr. Qian from Wenhua Street, not to mention one pair, even ten pairs, and it is easy for Mr. Qian. "Another son.

"Sons, uncles, although it is only ten places, but after all, Ling'er is the daughter of a slave family for sixteen years, and now Ling'er is going to end the Qing people. Therefore, all the sons and uncles can't let the slave family lose money, the slave family has set a reserve price here, if it can't be taken out, it's better not to compete for these ten places. Boss Yu looked at the people downstairs with a warning look on his face and said.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and say how much the reserve price is, I can't wait. ”

"Okay, good, the slave family will tell the son. There are two kinds of bidding: 10,000 taels for the first night, and 100,000 taels for redemption. Boss Yu hurriedly said.

When Tang Yu heard this, he was angry in his heart, where is this choosing a son-in-law, it is clearly to sell Yun Ling'er as goods, this Tianyu Emperor Capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is such a dirty thing, how can he bear it.

Just when he was angry, he saw a woman dressed in white with a veil covering her face, holding a sword, walking through the door. With every step the woman took, she swung the sword in her hand. With the swing of the sword, a human head fell to the ground.

When the woman walked into the lobby, dozens of people had already been separated by corpses outside the door.

"Who are you? Boss Yu of Manxianglou saw the woman who walked in, holding a sword that was still dripping with blood, and shivered all over, but his face instantly became gloomy.

She has been running Manyan Building for more than 20 years, and she has seen a lot of people in the rivers and lakes, and it is still rare to really dare to raise a sword to kill, but after all, she is a person who has seen the world.

"Who am I? You don't have to know, you just need to hand over Yun Ling'er, and I'll leave immediately, if not, hum!" said the woman in white with a cold snort.

"How else? This is the imperial capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, do you really dare to kill all the people here? Do you know who these people are?" Boss Yu said sharply.

"What if you kill them? These people dare to fight the idea of the descendants of King Yan, they deserve to die. After the woman in white finished speaking, the sword in her hand waved, and she instantly took another person's life.

At this time, the people in the hall saw that the woman in white said that if she kills, she will kill, and they hurriedly retreated and stayed away from the woman in white.

"There are really a lot of remnants of King Yan, since you jumped out, don't think about leaving today. After speaking, a scimitar with a knife light slashed straight at the woman in white who was lifting the sword to kill.

When the woman in white saw the scimitar slashing towards her, she hurriedly blocked it with her sword, and her body also hid to the side. He said angrily: "Liu Chengxiang, I didn't expect you to be alive, and I didn't expect you to betray King Yan as well." ”

At this time, a man in a black robe with a scimitar in his hand stood in front of the woman in white, looked the woman in white up and down, and said suspiciously, "Who are you? ”

"Hehehe, Liu Chengxiang, I didn't expect you to be the first person to betray King Yan. Everyone thought you had been assassinated, but they didn't expect you to become a traitor. Are you worthy of the prince's grace to save his life?

"Betrayal? Hahaha! That's right, I betrayed King Yan, so what. Lao Tzu fought with him for several years, and made great achievements, but he was reluctant to even give me a maid, Lao Tzu begged him to give me a maid, but he coaxed Lao Tzu out. Besides, King Yan has become a wasted person back then, what future is there, King Li is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, why should I still serve him to the death. Liu Chengxiang said.

"Liu Chengxiang! You are shameless. Who do you see who I am?" the woman said, removing the veil from her head, revealing a beautiful middle-aged woman.

"Mei ...... Mei Ji: Why are you?" Liu Chengxiang was stunned for a moment when he saw the woman.

"Of course it's me!" the woman said coldly.

"You...... You're not dead?" Liu Chengxiang said in a trembling voice.

"Thank you for that!" said Maggie, narrowing her eyes.

"Thank you, what do you mean?" Liu Chengxiang wondered.

"Hmph! Back then, you asked King Yan for marriage, although King Yan coaxed you out. After you left, the prince called me, told me about it, and was going to find an auspicious day to marry me to you, but I didn't expect you to disappear. We waited for you for three months, but we didn't see you come back, thinking you were dead. At my request, the prince held a secret marriage for us. After that, I moved out of the palace, so when the prince was raided, I escaped a catastrophe, allowing me to live secretly for more than ten years. Maggie snorted.

"What...... What? How could this be? Why? Didn't he promise me at the right time? Why?" asked Yoo Sung-sang angrily.

"Now that you know what happened, do you still want to stop me from saving Yun Ling'er?" Mei Ji said coldly.

"Yun Ling'er, Yun Ling'er, it's not good, Mei Ji, you go quickly, this is not an auction to select a son-in-law at all, it is a conspiracy of the Li Wangfu, in order to attract the prince to come. Liu Chengxiang hurriedly said.

"What did you say?"

"For three months, Li Wangfu has been looking for His Royal Highness the Prince, but the Prince's appearance is like disappearing, which makes Tang Lin very angry, and it is not until recently that he thought of this method to attract the Prince. This place has been laid by King Li, waiting for the arrival of the prince of Yan. Hurry up, or it'll be too late. Liu Chengxiang said anxiously.

"What?, Prince Yan?" said Mei Ji, confused.

"Let's go, I'll explain to you later. With that, he stepped forward and got on Maggie, and ran outside.

Mei Ji hadn't reacted yet, so she could only follow Liu Chengxiang and run out at this time.

As soon as Liu Chengxiang and Mei Ji ran out of the Manxiang Building, a voice burst out, "Liu Chengxiang, you are actually a bad prince, give me death." ”

Liu Chengxiang heard the loud shouting, he didn't even look back, he slashed directly behind him, and took advantage of this momentum to run forward quickly.

After receiving Liu Chengxiang's blow, the person behind him saw that Liu Chengxiang and the two were about to run away, and hurriedly shouted, "Chase me, slaughter Liu Chengxiang's bastard for me, and that Yan Wang Yu, can't let them run away." ”

As soon as the shouting fell, I saw more than a dozen people rushing out from around Manxianglou and chasing in the direction of Liu Chengxiang.

When Liu Chengxiang and Mei Ji ran away, Tang Yu and Li Lanqiu wanted to follow, but after thinking about it, both of them were characters who had escaped the reincarnation, and they couldn't help if they went. And now Yun Ling'er's whereabouts are still unknown, since it is a trap, the two dare not guarantee that Yun Ling'er is here.

Thinking of this, Tang Yu followed the crowd in the lobby and looked out.

At this moment, a black figure appeared in Tang Yu's sight, the figure was extremely fast, and everyone in the hall rushed to the second floor in an instant before they came to their senses.
