The scholar with Eguanbo waved a green bamboo folding fan and walked from the shadow of the riverside: "People are like insects and moths, in the dark, they will instinctively approach the light source. Such a city that never sleeps, resplendent and splendid, Qionglou Yuyu can not describe its luxury, it stands by the long river for a hundred years, I don't know how many people have attracted to spend money like earth, drunk and dreaming of death? A cup of monkey brewing is as expensive as a thousand gold, and the Oiran is worth 10,000 gold overnight, but there are still countless people throwing gold and silver for it. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the wealth of Yangzhou. ”

He appeared in the shadow of the lamp, and Shen Miaoyan saw that handsome face with a light smile, it was the Ji Gongzi in the inn in the morning.

It's just that the smile revealed a slight mockery, and there were too many complicated things in her eyes that she couldn't understand.

Chu Yunjian chuckled: "You seem to have a deep hostility towards this painting boat. ”

Ji Changqing stared at the big ship, and Shen Miaoyan noticed that his gaze seemed to be looking at both his lover and his enemy.

He suddenly lowered his eyes and turned to leave.

He didn't take a few steps, and then suddenly turned around and smiled: "The gathering of insects and moths in the light is their happiest moment, but also the most dangerous moment." Yangzhou is a place to eat people. ”

After speaking, he left slowly.

Shen Miaoyan's heart trembled, but he saw that Chu Yunjian and Jun Tianlan had already climbed the golden ladder.

She hurriedly followed, and couldn't help but touch the handrail carved with intricate patterns, and always felt that this ladder seemed to be made of real gold.

The beauty guarding the top of the ladder smiled and took out the gold plate, and Xiahou Ming took out four thousand taels of silver tickets from his arms expressionlessly and threw them in.

Immediately, two beauties approached and invited them into the hall.

The two doors carved with peony patterns in the hall were also golden, Shen Miaoyan couldn't help but touch them, and the beauty who led the way smiled: "Little sister, this door and that ladder are made of pure gold." ”

Shen Miaoyan's small movements were discovered, and he was embarrassed to withdraw his hand.

The two golden doors slowly opened, revealing a mirror-like jade floor embedded with golden lotus carved from gold leaf. Countless solid gold candlesticks were lit by fire, and men in brocade clothes were sitting on comfortable cushions, leaning on beauties with their backs and arms bare, gambling in twos and threes.

There are gold bricks and gold bars everywhere, pure gold wine of unknown value is swaying in the glass cup, the warmth/fragrance/nephrite jade is incomprehensible, and the silk and bamboo orchestra plays a beautiful sound, so luxurious, as if even the air is filled with the smell of gold nuggets.

Drunk on paper, but that's it.

Shen Miaoyan was still in a daze, and was pulled down by Jun Tianlan, and hurriedly followed him to a vacant seat.

Three well-mannered beauties came over with lotus steps, leaning on the arms of the three men, and their smiles were as delicate as peonies: "What do you want to drink?" ”

Chu Yunjian casually grabbed the beauty's slender waist, picked her chin with a fan, and smiled merryly: "On the most expensive wine and food you have here, silver is not a problem." ”

The three beauties originally saw that these three people were dressed ordinarily, but they came over routinely to ask, but who knew that they seemed to have picked up a big bargain, so they hurriedly laughed and called the maid to serve wine and food.

Shen Miaoyan sat cross-legged next to Jun Tianlan, looking at the woman in Jun Tianlan's arms scratching her head a little crampedly, could it be that the three of them are here to drink flower wine tonight?

But if she really drank flower wine, the fourth brother wouldn't take her with her.

She calmed down and cautiously looked around, trying not to be disturbed by the noise.

Her senses had always been quick, and after a long silence, she squinted slightly, sensing that the hall was being watched.

The gaze was too cold and terrifying, and Rao was her, and she couldn't help but tremble.

Who's watching?

She pursed her lips, and when she noticed that someone was watching, everything in front of her became wrong.

All the glittering golden sights seem to attract attention, to cover up something strange.

She looked at the maids who walked down the hall with wine, their faces delicate and their steps brisk, and such a brisk pace that only a man of kung fu could do.

Where even the maid is not simple, will the forces behind it be simple?

She lowered her eyes and looked around the hall, feeling that something was wrong here.

But what was wrong, she couldn't tell.

The expensive wine was quickly delivered, but Chu Yunjian was not in a hurry to drink it, while telling jokes with the beauty in his arms, his palm did not forget to rub the sensitive part of the beauty's body, which only made her giggle and be very shy.

Jun Tianlan glanced at Xia Hou Ming, and at the same time let the beauty in his arms leave, leaving only the one next to Chu Yunjian.

That beauty was obviously a smart one, her jade arm wrapped around Chu Yunjian's neck, and she smiled charmingly: "What do you want to inquire about?" ”

Chu Yunjian took two silver tickets with a denomination of 1,000 taels from Xiahou Ming's hand and waved them in front of her, with an extremely elegant smile: "I came here to do business, I heard that this city that never sleeps has existed in Yangzhou for a hundred years, I don't know who is behind it?" If I get a painting boat like this, I might make some money? ”

This question seems to have been asked by many people, and the beauty took the silver ticket, stuffed it into her crisp // chest, and said with a smile: "The person behind this painting boat is the emperor of our Yangzhou, and you can't afford to mess with it...... As for grabbing business, don't even think about it. I dare say that before you even open your shop, corpses will appear on the river! ”

As he spoke, he reached out to touch Chu Yunjian's cheek, and his voice was seductive and seductive: "You look so good, if you die, what a pity, why don't you go upstairs with me to be happy?" It's okay with three people......"

Chu Yunjian smiled, and took out two thousand taels of silver tickets from his arms: "Who is the Earth Emperor?" ”

Shen Miaoyan looked at him quietly, and sensed a trace of murderous aura from his eyes.

When she was under house arrest in the palace before, she served in Chu Yunjian's study for a while.

She flipped through every book in the study, and naturally also saw how much tax Yangzhou pays every year.

The richest city in the south has a pitiful amount of tax to be handed over to the national treasury every year, and the prefect of Yangzhou cries poverty to the capital every year, saying that the harvest is not good, and that the merchants have changed their routes, and there is really no tax to collect.

But when I really got here, I was clearly rich.

Otherwise, such an expensive pastime would not have so many people coming.

She quietly looked at Chu Yunjian, who was dealing with that beauty, he had already had the heart to come to Yangzhou to investigate, so he took advantage of this drought and locust plague to come over in person.

And if it comes with great fanfare, the local officials in Yangzhou will definitely try to hide the prosperity of this place.

Only a private interview with Weifu can see the truth.

She stared at the full hall of gold and jade, and a trace of sadness appeared in her heart.

At that moment, there was a commotion in the hall.
