On Fuyang Street in Handan City, there are two largest brothels in Handan City, one is called Lanxiangyuan and the other is called Jinfeng Pavilion, which are close together. The garden warm pavilion in the orchid garden is elegant and chic, and the flowers and birds are beautiful among them, which makes people feel interesting and forgetful. Jinfeng Pavilion is different from Orchid Garden, luxurious atmosphere, golden and brilliant, revealing the smell of copper and the sound of glamour everywhere. The two brothels have very different styles and logically adapt to the preferences of different customers, but in reality they are fighting openly and secretly and slandering each other.

In the old brothels, in order to find beautiful girls to enter the kiln, in addition to spending money to buy poor girls and slaves, it is inevitable to do some bad things that force good people to become prostitutes, and hurt nature and reason. The two brothels have been fighting for a long time, and most of the people they receive are high-ranking officials and nobles, and they are not clean, so they naturally inevitably look for each other's backers. Zhao has always had a dispute between Hu and Han, and after Zhao Biao, the owner of Lanxiang Garden, relied on Wu Zheng, the son of Wu Guang, a Hanchen, the owner of Jinfeng Pavilion, Sun Yu, took Di Meng, the minister of the Hu people, as his backer. As a result, the competition and contradictions between the two brothels were further intensified, and the owners of the two brothels each tried their best to compete for business, and there were more and more cases of dismantling each other.

Originally, Jinfeng Pavilion gradually gained the upper hand with "orchids", but after Lanxiangyuan launched "young prostitutes", its reputation overshadowed Jinfeng Pavilion, and a large number of prostitutes flocked to it. When Sun Yuzheng, the owner of the Golden Phoenix Pavilion, was depressed, he suddenly received an anonymous brocade letter, which listed the facts of the harm to the girl in Lanxiang Garden.

Sun Yu was overjoyed and immediately found Di Meng to discuss. Di Mengnai was the patrol military attache in Handan City, so he immediately led people to rush into the Lanxiang Garden, collecting evidence while taking people.

The crimes of the orchid garden cited in the brocade book are true and the evidence is conclusive. Zhao Biao was held by his opponent, and he was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and hurriedly came to Wu Zheng to discuss. Although Wu Zheng is incompetent, his father Wu Guang is a doctor of Zhao State, who holds real power and has a lot of weight in the court.

"Seeing that you are scared like this, it is really useless!" Wu Zheng said contemptuously to Zhao Biao.

"It's all the villain's carelessness, if the son doesn't save me, I'm going to die!" Zhao Biao said in fear.

"Although Di Meng took someone, the matter has not yet been reported to the Governor's Mansion, and there is still a turning point, you don't have to be afraid of this!" said Ximen Cong, a strategist beside Wu Zheng.

"I don't know which letter from the ghost who lacks morality, when I catch him, I have to pick his skin!" Zhao Biao took a breath when he heard that there was still a turning point.

"Don't be able to do it in front of me! If you have the ability to take his Sun Yu's handle, don't you!" Wu Zheng said.

"Childe is wise, if you can hold the handle of the Golden Phoenix Pavilion, you will naturally be fine!"

"Oh, is this true? That Golden Phoenix Pavilion has not done any less immoral deeds over the years!" Zhao Biao said.

"Na Di Meng is greedy for money, and now although he has taken people, he does not report them, it is nothing more than asking you to ask for money! If you also take their shortcomings, naturally both parties will be fine!"

"It doesn't matter if the villain breaks some money, I'm afraid that he will open his mouth and ask for all the belongings of Lanxiangyuan, so it will cut off the son's financial route!" Zhao Biao said.

"Don't talk nonsense! Think about it carefully, what have they done over the years? Maybe they will take a sore spot or two?" Wu Zheng said.

"Naturally, I have done a lot of things, but they are all secret, and now I am afraid it will take some time to get it to the surface!" Zhao Biao said.

"Rubbish!" Wu Zheng heard this, kicked at Zhao Biao, and said angrily:

"Since there is no evidence, then you are still talking nonsense!"

Zhao Biao rolled to the side and didn't dare to say more, Ximen Cong saw this and said:

"Childe is angry, the villain has some plans for today's affairs!" After Ximen Cong finished speaking, he lowered his head and whispered a few words in Wu Zheng's ear.

"Is this true?" Wu Zheng said in surprise.

"If so, where did these orchids come from?" said Satoshi Ximen.

"Okay, I'll go to meet Di Meng tomorrow and see what else he has to say!" Wu Zheng said confidently.

"Childe ┄┄ Childe has a way?" Zhao Biao got up and laughed.

"It's your fate, you've met my son!" Wu Zheng said, then got up and wanted to leave.

"Send five hundred gold to the prince's mansion tomorrow!" Ximen Cong then said.

"Certainly, definitely! The villain knows!" Zhao Biao smiled on his face, but scolded in his heart.

At noon on the second day, Wu Zheng asked Ximen Cong to invite Di Meng, and Di Meng knew it, so he and Wu Zheng sat down in a warm pavilion in a tea shop.

"How can Childe have time to drink tea today?" Di Meng said deliberately.

Wu Zheng didn't speak, and glanced at Ximen Cong, and Ximen Cong put a hundred gold in front of him. Di Meng looked at it and didn't think so, thinking that he wanted to send me away for just a hundred gold?

Di Meng pushed Jin Zi in front of Wu Zheng and said proudly:

"It's also a family in the lower house, there is no shortage of these, so the prince should keep it for himself!"

"My lord, ┄┄!" Seeing this, Ximen Cong gently grabbed Di Meng and said:

"Sit down, sir, and it's not too late to listen to my son-in-law finish talking before leaving!"

"Okay! For the sake of Lord Lingzun, you can just say it!" Di Meng said coldly.

"I don't have anything to say, I don't want you to tell General Anda and ask him to get me some orchids to play with!" Wu Zheng said.

When Di Meng heard this, he suddenly stood up and said angrily:

"What do you mean by that? Am I still afraid of you?"

"My lord's anger! If you think about it carefully, this collusion with foreign countries is not a trivial matter! It doesn't matter if you lose your official position, if General Anda loses his head, it will not be a trivial matter!"

"You don't want to scare me with this, what evidence do you have? If you can show evidence, I'll accept it!" Di Meng thought to himself, but he couldn't fool people.

"If you don't believe me, go back and ask Buhe beside you!" said Simon Satoshi.

Di was startled, said no more, took the gold and turned around and left.

Di Meng returned to the office, saw Bu He, and was about to exert his power, Bu He hurriedly said:

"Oh no, my lord! The Governor's Mansion just came to take people away!"

"What, stupid, it's all your doing!" said Di angrily.

"The villain can't stop it, my lord!" said Bu He aggrievedly.

"Fool, how did Wu Zheng find out about Lord Anda's transportation of orchids?

"This ┄┄ this ┄┄ villain didn't tell him!" Bu He knew that the matter was exposed, but he couldn't deny it, and he was afraid that he would be beaten, so he looked at Di Meng's face and hurriedly beckoned:

"A few days ago, a person grabbed the villain and forced him to ask about the villain's orchid, and the villain was afraid of death, thinking that it was an irrelevant person, so he said! If the villain knew that he was a person sent by Wu Zheng, he would not say anything if he was killed!"

"Just blow you!" Di Meng said and slapped him, causing him to stumble and scold:

"Just your cheap mouth, you won't say anything if you're still dead!"

"The lord spares his life! the villain knows that he is wrong!" Buhe quickly knelt down.

Di scolded fiercely, and suddenly remembered that the person was taken away by the Governor's Mansion, and felt that something was wrong, so he asked again:

"How did the Governor's Mansion know about me going to Lanxiang Garden to get people?

"No, no, no! The villain didn't say anything, the villain really didn't talk to anyone!" Buhe said hurriedly.

"Even if the lieutenant learns about this, he will not rush to mention someone, I am afraid that there is something strange about this matter!" "The villain doesn't know what's going on!"

"Shut up, I didn't ask you!" Di Meng said angrily.

Di Meng couldn't figure out the reason after thinking about it, and felt that it was none of his business, anyway, it was the bad thing in the orchid garden, and he didn't care about it, so he didn't think about it anymore.

A few days later, the people from the Duwei's Mansion came to Lanxiangyuan to take Zhao Biao and others, put them in prison, and posted a seal notice on the gate of Lanxiangyuan, stating that Zhao Biao and others were lawless.

Since King Zhao Wuling ascended the throne, the officialdom and the people have been purged, although the brothels are legally operated, but they are abducted and deceived, and people's lives are disregarded, which is not tolerated by the royal law. When Wu Zheng learned that Lanxiangyuan was copied, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and scolded Di Meng for not believing his words, villainous behavior!

Wu Zheng told his father Wu Guang about the Hu general Anda and the Gentiles who smuggled orchids, and Wu Guang immediately wrote to impeach him. However, due to the lack of key evidence, the two quarreled in the court, and then the ministers of Hu and Han joined their respective camps, and the matter became bigger and bigger.

The state of Zhao is located in the two regions of Hu and Han, and the dispute between Hu and Han has been going on for a long time, and King Wuling of Zhao has been working on solving this problem since he ascended the throne. At this time, King Zhao Wuling was about to implement the policy of "Hufu Cavalry Shooting", which was related to the country's major policies, and the Hu-Han dispute was the biggest obstacle to the implementation of the policy, so he absolutely did not want to see such a thing happen at this time. The so-called Hufu riding archery is that the Han people wear the clothes with narrow cuffs of the Hu people and learn the skills of the Hu people to shoot arrows immediately. This is King Zhao Wuling's plan to strengthen the army, and it is a bold reform move.

King Wuling of Zhao had made great efforts to ease the relationship between Hu and Han, and such a thing had happened at this time. King Wuling of Zhao was furious, and ordered Fei Yi to seal up the Golden Phoenix Pavilion as well, and punished Wu Guanganda and Di Meng and others with different degrees of severity. The two brothels fought for many years, but as a result, no one got any benefits, and all of them were raided by the government and all their property was confiscated.

A month later, Lou came to see Feiyi, saying that someone asked to see him. Fei Yi was surprised in his heart, thinking that Lou Chuan was a disciple of the upper and lower schools, and he had always been nosy, who actually asked to see him through his door?

"The people's girl is intimate, meet Lord Xiangbang!" the man saw Fei Yi and prayed. Intimate is a person in the Mei Sect, who was originally the Mei Niang of the Mei Fenglou of the Chu State, but now she has been promoted to the Mei Lord and came to Handan to seek work.

Fei Yi saw that it was a young woman, and for some reason, he asked:

"Who are you?

Thoughtfully took out a token of the Taoist talisman and handed it to Feiyi, and Feiyi looked at it, it turned out to be a holy talisman of the upper and lower sects. Since the Taihang Mountain line, Feiyi has a lot to do with the upper and lower schools, so he recognizes the tokens of the upper and lower classes, but this Taoist talisman is more refined, and it seems to represent greater power and more noble status, so he asked:

"Was this talisman given to you by the Lingjun Saint himself?"

"It turns out that Xiangbang doesn't know this talisman! Seeing this talisman is like seeing the head of the upper and lower schools himself, although Ling Junzi has the intention of taking over as the head, but he is not the head yet!"

Fei Yi was taken aback, thinking that this Dao talisman was more noble than Ling Junzi's identity? That is the thing of Du Mo's master? and thought that since this woman came to see me with this talisman, she must know the relationship between me and Ling Junzi!

"Please forgive me for not knowing Mount Tai if I have eyes, I hope the girl will advise!"

"Don't dare! I want to get the second floor of Jinfeng and Lanxiang in the city, please make it convenient for the prime minister!"

"Oh?" Fei Yi asked,

"This second floor is a place of immorality, what does the girl want them for?"

"Since it is a place of immorality, why is there everywhere in this world? It seems that there is no man in this world who accumulates virtue!"

When Fei Yi heard this, he was speechless, so he looked carefully at the woman in front of him and said:

"How does the girl want to get this second floor?"

"In addition to spending money to buy, Xiangbang may give it away for nothing?" Intimate softened his tone and said with a smile:

"Xiangbang doesn't have to worry, the loss of virtue and the accumulation of virtue also depend on who is in charge! The second floor has done everything that hurts the heavens and reason, and this girl will do the right thing for the heavens and take action to eradicate the scourge!"

Fei Yi thought to himself, it turned out that someone provoked it, causing the second floor to fight, and almost ruined my lord's great affairs!

"Now that the second floor has been confiscated by the officials, if the girl wants to get them, as long as she has money!"

"The girl has no money, but someone has money, you just have to do business!"

"It's so easy! Tomorrow I will post a notice and auction the second floor in the name of the official, and the one with the highest price will get it, and the girl will go and prepare herself!"

"Thank you! I met Xiangbang for the first time today, and I hope that the adults will bear with me if I am rude, and we will come to Japan for a long time!"

"The girl is light!" Fei Yi wondered in his heart, thinking that since she said that the future is long, she will see each other often in the future?

On the second day, Fei Yi really sent people to post notices in many places in the city, informing the neighbors that the Jinfeng Pavilion and the Orchid Garden would be auctioned after the fifth day. There was a lot of discussion in Handan City for a while, and I didn't know if this brothel would be reopened after the auction, or if it would be used for other purposes.

Five days later, the auction table was set up at the door of the second floor of Jinfeng and Lanxiang, and the crowd was full of voices for a while, rich businessmen and dignitaries gathered here, some watched the trouble, and some participated in the bidding.

The auction began, and after a few gongs, the person in charge of the Governor's Mansion said:

"Today, the official property Jinfeng Pavilion and Orchid Garden are sold in public, and the one with the highest price will get it! Those who have the sincerity to bid will stand in the front, and others will stand in the back, and they must not push and make noise!"

Everyone in the audience moved one after another, and intimately took the two girls to watch in the back. Just listen to the officer in charge continue:

"Today, the second floor is combined into one, bundled and sold, and the reserve price is 1,000 taels of gold!

"One thousand taels is too much, isn't it?" "Sell together, who has so much money?" said the people below.

"Handan City Wang Renshou, bid a thousand taels!"

"One thousand one hundred taels, Daijun Hu Kuoda!"

"Liang Zheng Xian, bid 1,200 taels!"

"Puyang Lu tilts power, two thousand taels of gold!" a young man suddenly shouted.

"Two thousand taels, two broken buildings, where is it worth so much?" "You don't understand, it's not just the building that is valuable, it's famous!" "Who is this young man, why is he so rich?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything higher than two thousand taels?" asked the head of the Governor's Mansion.

"Less is more! Neurotic!" The Handan man named Wang Renshou rolled up his sleeves, scolded, and walked out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please don't make presumptuous arguments, so as not to interfere with the bidding! Is there anything higher than two thousand taels?" The Governor's Mansion was in charge.

"If not, the villain will thank you for giving in!" Lu Tianquan stood up and raised his hand to say to everyone in front of the stage.

Everyone hadn't heard of this person named Lu Tianquan, seeing that he was so young, he didn't know where he came from, but seeing that he was not good-looking, he was very polite, and some polite people also returned the salute politely.

"If there are no more bidders, the official will ring the gong and close the stall!" After the master finished speaking, he waited for a while, and saw that no one was bidding anymore, so he sounded the gong and said:

"The second floor of Jinfeng and Lanxiang is purchased by Lu Qianquan, a native of Puyang, for two thousand taels of gold, and it is limited to ten days to pay all the money!

Everyone dispersed one by one, and Lu Tianquan then got on the horse and left, and the intimate and others left after him.

When he arrived at an inn, Lu Tianquan got off the horse, and someone in the inn came out to lead the horse and said:

"Childe, the old master is here!"

"Oh?" Lu Tianquan said in surprise, and immediately walked inside.

"Where is the master?" Lu Qianquan entered the room and asked.

"Upstairs in the East Pavilion!" replied the shopkeeper.

Lu Tianquan went upstairs and pushed open the door, and when he saw Bai Gui, he said happily:

"Grandson meets grandfather!"

"Grandson, please get up, it's going well today!" Bai Gui said with a smile.

"Smooth! Why did my grandfather come in person?"

"Now that I'm old, it's a time to come back! I'm afraid there won't be a next time!"

"My grandfather is in good health, and my grandson has to serve!"

"Entrusted by others, loyal to people! Even if the matter has been done, there is no need to go through any more troubles in old age!"

"What does my grandfather mean by this? The matter of bidding is only a matter of money, is there anyone in this world who is richer than my grandfather?"

"I can't say much! Money is taken in a good way, and there is a way to use it! I am only here because I have some friendship with that fat and righteous Xiangbang, and if things are difficult to do, I can also come forward to help┄┄" Bai Gui did not finish speaking, and the intimacy outside the door just arrived, and continued:

"There is Lao Bai Xiang who bothered, Bai Xiang is really a person who values love and righteousness!"

Bai Gui didn't know that the intimate had already found Feiyi, and saw a young woman, although he didn't know her, he also knew it, so he said:

"Since she is the trust of the old man, how can the old man not care! There are not many things in this world that can alarm her, and even fewer people can invite her!" Bai Gui said that she was referring to his uncle Nine Heavens Xuannu.

"There are not many people in this world who can invite Bai Xiang!" said with a thoughtful smile.

"An old and worldly person is planning all worldly things, how can he be on a par with the worldly masters!" Bai Gui said to Lu Tianquan after speaking:

"I have something to tell you here, and I don't feel at ease if I don't explain it!"

"Grandfather, please speak, grandson listen!" Lu Tianquan thought to himself, his grandfather really had something to do.

"Although the matter of the female Lu is a precedent set by the pipe, it is detrimental to the ancestors, and the grandchildren are not allowed to participate in it! Today's affairs are in name only, and they are entrusted by others, so it is another matter!" Bai Gui said.

"Grandchildren must be remembered! Grandfather can rest assured!" Lu Tianquan said, thinking, this is the case, and I have to bother your old man to run it himself!

"In the past, the sage Confucius said: 'Eating and lust is the nature of human beings!' Nowadays, prostitutes are prevalent, is it not due to human nature! Today, although it is not shameful for a little girl to run a women's market, she can still free my daughter from suffering and make a small difference!"

Bai Gui thought to himself, how can it be said that he is free from suffering because he is a prostitute?

"What the girl said is unusual, and the old man doesn't dare to say anything, but no matter what, I don't allow the Bai family and the Lu family to get involved in this industry!"

"Bai Xiang is a rich and noble person, naturally he will not lose his reputation for money! Since ancient times, men have been inferior to women, and the way of the world dictates that women of my generation are slaves and prostitutes, and they are bullied by others!

"Hey┄┄ Right and wrong in the world, it's not something that I, Bai Gui, can tell!" Bai Gui sighed, feeling that although this remark was reluctant, it was not unreasonable.

"But all the women in the world are willing to find a wishful husband to stay with for life, how can they be willing to be prostitutes? However, the world is difficult, what can I do? Although it is also an expedient measure to run the women's business today, Bai Xiang can rest assured that the little woman will never do anything that hurts the heavens and reason!"

"I'm relieved that the girl said this, although I don't know the girl's origins, I don't think I'm a person who wants to be greedy!" Bai Gui said.

"The son has reported the name of the place he came from today, but I am afraid that the Puyang Lu family will be famous from now on!" said with a thoughtful smile.

"Even if it is in name only, it is not contaminated with the women's industry!" Lu Tianquan said.

"Does Childe also feel ashamed to be involved in the women's industry? Childe has never been to the women's market?" asked with a thoughtful smile.

Lu Tianquan's face turned red, and he didn't know how to answer, so he changed the topic:

"If the girl has nothing to order, she will leave Handan tomorrow!"

"Childe, why don't you do it to the end, repair the second floor of the golden phoenix and orchid, and we can open the market as soon as possible!" said intimately.

"This?" Lu Tianquan looked at Bai Gui and hesitated.

"Don't worry, girl, I still have a thousand gold here, I'll send someone to the girl's room later!" Bai Gui said.

"Thank you so much! People say, 'I'd rather be a slave in the white minister's mansion than a guest of the prime minister!' When I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation!"

Intimate originally wanted to use the name of the Bai family or the Lu family to run the Spring Building, and she was hidden behind it, but she didn't expect Bai Gui to refuse, so she had to make another plan.

Half a year later, the Jinfeng Pavilion and the Orchid Garden were combined into one, rebuilt and renovated, and named "Intimate Building", which became the largest brothel in Handan City. Jinfeng Pavilion and Orchid Garden were originally quite large-scale, famous far and near, now the two places are made together, everywhere is decorated with a new one, during which the elegance and vulgarity are appreciated, gorgeous and exquisite, plus the song and swallow dance of the warbler, the spring is charming, just opened in the market, famous.
