164. Knocking bamboo poles

Yangzhou is the most prosperous city in the Great Song Dynasty in addition to Kaifeng, and it is also the most famous place in the entire Great Song Dynasty fireworks venue. Although the Changle Gang is not full of evil, there are many things that hurt people and bullies, especially the gang rules do not set punishment for obscenity, which is even more despised by people in the martial arts. For this reason, there were some chivalrous people who wanted to eradicate the Changle Gang, but the Changle Gang not only had many people, but its gang leader Situ Heng and the military advisor Bei Haishi were not weak in martial arts, so they have not been able to eradicate them.

On this day, Yangzhou's most famous fireworks venue, Lichun Temple, is going to hold an Oiran competition. This time, it is said that Lichun Yuan arranged ten beauties to select one of them as the Oiran, so that Yangzhou has been very lively recently, not only gathered a lot of rich people, literati sons, but also a lot of martial arts people have come here.

At night, the city of Yangzhou is brightly lit, and the night market in Yangzhou is also the most prosperous in the entire Great Song Dynasty, unlike many other cities, the curfew time in Yangzhou is after midnight, so the night in Yangzhou is more prosperous than during the day.

Ye Xiao arrived in Yangzhou at sunset that day, and after a month of sleeping in the open air, even though he was a little tired, he did not go to find Yan Ji as soon as he entered Yangzhou City, but found an inn to wash well.

After washing, Ye Xiao came to the restaurant downstairs and called for some wine and food.

"Xiao Er, what day is it today, why is it so lively?" After entering Yangzhou City, Ye Xiao felt that Yangzhou City seemed to be too lively.

The shopkeeper was surprised: "Didn't this boy come to see the Oiran contest today?"

Ye Xiao shook his head, and the shopkeeper said: "Son, don't you know, today Lichun Courtyard is going to hold an Oiran Competition, it is said that this time Lichun Courtyard has collected ten beauties, and each beauty is one in a million, tsk...... It's a pity that I don't have the money and I don't have the life, otherwise I would have to go for a trip. ”

Ye Xiao was immediately uninterested after hearing this, but he quickly reacted again, "Oiran competition competition?" Hu Fei said that Yan Ji is lustful as life, if he is in Yangzhou, he will definitely be present on such an occasion, it is really effortless to step on iron shoes and find nowhere to get it." Originally, he was still worried about how to find Yan Ji, after all, not to mention that Yan Ji is not in Yangzhou now, even if he is in Yangzhou, so many fireworks places can't be found one by one, if that's the case, let alone half a year, maybe he won't be able to find it for a year and a half.

"Xiao Er, where is the Lichun Courtyard?" made up his mind to go to the Lichun Courtyard later, so Ye Xiao immediately asked the shopkeeper about the location of the Lichun Courtyard.

The shopkeeper said: "You go out and turn left, and then keep walking and you will see." ”

"Thank you. Ye Xiao said, and after hurriedly eating the meal, he went out of the inn to find the Lichun Courtyard.

Along the way, Ye Xiao was an eye-opener, and this was the first time he visited the night market in this world. The streets are brightly lit, no worse than modern night markets, and there are even more people than in modern society, and the streets are either selling all kinds of food, knick-knacks, or juggling, which is much more interesting and exciting than modern night markets.

It's not hard to find, especially since this Oiran competition is held today, and you can see a large number of people rushing over there from afar. As the crowd Ye Xiao also came to the vicinity of Lichun Courtyard, what made him strange was that many people were blocked out, including some dissatisfied people cursing and shouting loudly, and some even wanted to break in, but Lichun Courtyard was obviously prepared to arrange a lot of people to guard the door, and seeing that these people were all good, those who broke in were all beaten and thrown out.

Ye Xiao listened for a while before he knew that if he wanted to enter Lichun Courtyard tonight, he must have at least 10,000 taels of silver to be able to enter, although he didn't know how much 10,000 taels of silver was, but after walking the rivers and lakes for such a long time and using silver taels, he also knew that if it was 10,000 taels, according to his current expenses, it would be enough for him to spend at least ten years.

However, even with such a high threshold, there are still many people who meet the requirements to enter Lichun Courtyard, which makes Ye Xiao can't help but secretly say that he is indeed a local tyrant who spends money no matter what era.

Since there is such a threshold, Ye Xiao plans to go directly over the wall, he is confident that with his own skills, even if there are guards in Lichun Courtyard, he can sneak in. But just as he was about to climb over the wall and sneak in, he saw a familiar figure.

"Damn, what is he doing here?!Could it be that there is more awesome technology in this world than modern society, which can make broken roots reconnect or grow?" Ye Xiao was very surprised when he saw this person, but he was surprised in his heart, since he met an acquaintance, it would be too "rude" if he didn't say hello.

Ye Xiao quietly approached the man, and then patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Tian, it's been a long time!"

Yes, it was Tian Boguang who surprised Ye Xiao so much. still remembers that when he was in the Qing Dynasty, Tian Boguang and Ouyang Ke conspired to kidnap Chen Yuanyuan, and were finally castrated by Ye Xiao. And it was precisely because Tian Boguang had already been castrated, but now he appeared in such a fireworks place, so Ye Xiao was surprised and puzzled.

Tian Boguang will never forget this voice and this face, he doesn't know how many nights he has woken up because of this you, and he doesn't know how many times he has cursed this you! The resentment against Ye Xiao has long been deeply rooted in Tian Boguang's bone marrow. As a flower thief, he was castrated, which made him almost worse than death, and wanted to commit suicide several times, but in the end he didn't do it because of his resentment against Ye Xiao, he swore that he must take revenge in this life, no matter what way he used, he must also make Ye Xiao's life worse than death.

Hearing Ye Xiao's voice, Tian Boguang's whole body trembled, yes, now he hates Ye Xiao to the core, but he also knows very well that he is not his opponent at all, at least now.

"Leaf ...... Ye Daxia, you ...... Why are you here?" Tian Boguang turned around tremblingly, and at the same time did not dare to look at Ye Xiao, for fear that the resentment in his eyes would be noticed by the other party.

Seeing Tian Boguang's appearance, Ye Xiao naturally knew why the other party was like this, speaking of which, he did not regret punishing Tian Boguang so much, after all, Tian Boguang didn't know how many innocent women he had harmed in his life, and if he didn't stop it, there would only be more women victimized.

"Brother Tian, it's really good Yaxing, is this going to participate in the Oiran Competition?" Ye Xiao asked with a smile.

Tian Boguang, who lowered his head deeply, trembled when he heard this, and the resentment in his eyes deepened, but he secretly warned himself in his heart that it was not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and then slowly calmed down, and said: "Ye Daxia said that he laughed, the little one is just here to have a glass of wine." After a pause, he gritted his teeth slightly and said, "Of course, I also have a good time by the way." Thinking about it, he was still a little unbearable after all.

Ye Xiao also heard a little resentment in Tian Boguang's tone, but he didn't care, and smiled: "As far as I know, it takes at least 10,000 taels of silver to enter this Lichun Courtyard today, does Brother Tian have so much money?"

Tian Boguang said: "The small ones still have some savings, but they are enough." After a pause, he suddenly said, "Does Ye Daxia also want to enter?"

Ye Xiao didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "Yes, I also want to see and see, but I am not as rich as Brother Tian." ”

When Tian Boguang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Ye Daxia, the small silver taels have a little surplus, I can give you some gifts, I wonder if you can appreciate your face?"

Ye Xiao's purpose was exactly this, and he immediately said politely: "If that's the case, then it's even better." ”

Tian Boguang took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, each silver ticket was an amount of one thousand taels, and there were probably more than ten or twenty silver tickets in this stack, and he directly handed this stack of silver tickets to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao took it and said, "Thank you, Brother Tian." ”

"Ye Daxia, don't say that, you can appreciate your face, it's already a great honor for the small one. Tian Boguang said again and again.

Ye Xiao glanced at Tian Boguang, and thought, Tian Boguang not only does not show any resentment towards me now, but is so humble, it seems that he really hates me to the core. Forget it, there are other things now, so I won't pay attention to him for the time being, anyway, with his martial arts, no matter how much he hates me, don't try to come up with any tricks.

Thinking like this, Ye Xiao said to Tian Boguang: "Brother Tian, then I'll go, what about you?"

Tian Boguang naturally didn't have the heart to continue looking, and hurriedly said: "You go first, and the little ones will go in later." ”

Ye Xiao smiled and left.

Looking at Ye Xiao's figure gradually disappearing at the gate of Lichun Courtyard, Tian Boguang thought bitterly in his heart: It's best for this kid to die on the belly of those women! By the way, woman? This kid ran to Lichun Courtyard, it doesn't seem to be a good thing, so can you use a woman to kill this kid?!
