117 Air and dust(1/2)
Smoky Rain Tower.
The inside and outside of the pavilion shining with big red lanterns slowly shine.
The VIP private rooms on the third floor were already full, and were all taken by mysterious guests from all sides. The stairs were guarded by first-class experts, and no one outsiders knew who was on the third floor.
The second and first floor halls were crowded with great tycoons from all major gangs in Wu County, as well as wealthy businessmen from all over the country, local powerful people and wealthy families from Wu County, thousands of people gathered together, and were filled with wealthy friends. They greeted each other and talked about who the courtesans became famous tonight, and it was very noisy and lively.
Deputy Gangmao Wu of the Horse Gang was personally on the second floor and led the experts of the Horse Gang to watch the venue to prevent chaos.
The horse gang attached great importance to this courtesan conference tonight.
In Taihu, when the battle with the Giant Whale Gang water bandits, nearly 300 elite horse gang disciples were killed and injured no less than 100 or 200. The pension alone was a huge expense. In addition, the rewards for the participating disciples were rewarded with the expenses.
At this ceremony tonight, many innocent courtesans are about to leave their parents. Just the first night of the auction of the right to go out can get a lot of money for the horse gang and relieve the pressure.
Deputy Gangmaster Wu personally took charge to ensure that this grand event is foolproof.
The Wujun Flower Courtesan event finally kicked off.
In the center of the first floor lobby, there is a huge stage for singing and dancing.
The innocent people from dozens of brothels in Wujun appeared one after another, fighting one after another, showing their eighteen kinds of singing, dancing and piano skills.
"good!"
"One more song!"
It takes several hours all night, and it lasts late at night. As the saying goes, spring night is worth a thousand gold, and brothels don’t get drunk and don’t return at night.
Naturally, the finale is always at the end.
The rich people from all over the world were excited to watch it, and their enthusiasm for expectations became higher and higher.
Li Ma walked onto the stage and said enthusiastically: "Welcome tonight's finale, Yanyulou Fei, Miss Annu! I will bring you a dance of colorful clothes and feathers!"
The central stage of the Yanyu Tower was shrouded in hazy pink and white gauze.
It is like an illusory moon palace fairyland, with a vague gauze and full of dreams.
In the middle of the stage of Yanyu Tower, there is a delicate fairy dancing pose. She holds a light pipa and is still holding the pipa and half-covering her face. She gently folds her eyebrows and slowly twists her. She keeps playing the letter of her eyebrows, as if she is talking about the infinite things in her heart.
If a string of big beads falls off the jade plate in a crisp manner, if a silver bottle breaks through the water slurry and splashes everywhere, the iron cavalry protrudes and the swords and guns.
Playing the song of the colorful clothes, dancing in feather clothes, like a dream.
After a moment, in the misty building, the guests and guests gradually became intoxicated and confused.
There was a lot of cheers from time to time.
Anu danced in the middle of the stage, watching the cheers of the guests, but could not see the once familiar figure. Unconsciously, the unspeakable sadness in his heart was surging.
Before I knew it, the sound of the pipa gradually became sad, and the cold and stern strings of the ice spring were gone.
"Clang~——!"
The four strings sound like a crack of silk, and the pipa and piano sounds are broken.
Anu finally couldn't hide his sadness in his heart. He fell on the stage and fell, with two lines of clear tears flowing silently on his pretty face.
A song of colorful clothes, heartbreaking dance!
The guests in the Smoky Rain Building were full of guests, silent for a moment.
...
Third floor.
In a luxurious private room.
Sima Bai Juyi of Jiangzhou, the special envoy of Wang Shoucheng and the prefect of Wujun Zhao Juzhen, three adults sat on the main table.
All the county magistrates from Wu County were accompanying the last seat, and the other officials of all sizes stood by.
The imperial envoy Wang Shoucheng heard it and sighed for a long time: "I have followed His Majesty for many years, and have seen the singing voice of Huo Xiaoyu, a famous prostitute in Chang'an, and have also watched the "Sword Dance" by Gongsun, a famous prostitute in the palace, and appreciated the famous dance of Du Qiuniang, a famous prostitute in Jinling. Unexpectedly, there is also Miss Anu in this Wu County, with a song of colorful clothes and feather dress, which is so outstanding."
Lord Bai felt lost, was stunned for a while, and asked left and right: "By the way, what's her name?"
County Magistrate Wang hurriedly said, "I don't know this. I just heard of Anu Fei just now. However, the county government has all the registered origins of music prostitutes, and the full name is recorded on it. Can you go and check it?"
"Go and check it out."
Zhao Juzhen ordered the magistrate of the county.
"yes!"
County Magistrate Wang nodded quickly and rushed to the county yamen with several yamen runners.
After a while, County Magistrate Wang hurried back, his face seemed a little frightened, pale and bloodless, and he whispered to the three adults:
"Three lords, found out. The Lemei Fei, Fei Xingnu, and the 17-year-old girl from Yanyulou, Suzhou. The orphan was sold to Yanyulou by the mistress of the master. One month later, she was sold to Yanyulou by the mistress of the master. She has a younger brother, named Xingchou, and is one year younger. The rest are unknown."
The imperial envoy Wang Shoucheng couldn't help but praise: "A good name is enough to be on par with Huo Xiaoyu, Du Qiuniang and others! Fei is a magnificent, a magnificent, a magnificent sign! She is a magnificent one, but she is a magnificent one, a magnificent one, a magnificent sign!"
"Fei Xingnu, as his name!"
Lord Bai also nodded and praised slightly.
County Magistrate Wang's face turned pale. He didn't care about wiping the sweat on his face, and hurriedly interrupted, "Three sirs, the key is not whether her name sounds nice! This Fei Xingnu is Fei Xingchou's sister. Isn't Fei Xingchou the hero of the Tianying Sect? I heard that this A Chou and Su Shangxian are not very deep, but a close friend from childhood.
But Anu sold herself eight or nine years ago, and the relationship between her and A Chou was surprisingly rare in the world, and no one heard of it. If Su Shangxian learned about it, something big would happen. Lord Zhao, the official, was afraid that something would happen, so he quickly brought the book of the prostitute."
He hurriedly handed over the book of musical prostitutes.
Zhao Juzhen's expression changed. He took the book of the prostitute and looked at it. His expression suddenly became heavy: "Well, you did a good job in this matter. If you are not careful, something big will happen!"
After hearing this, the other two adults noticed this detail and were both shocked.
"Or what if the officials are going to ask the horse gang to hand over Fei Xingnu's contract to sell his body and dismiss the official book of the prostitute, so as not to sue Su Shangxian when he finds out?!"
County Magistrate Wang said carefully.
"No!"
Zhao Juzhen looked calm and shook his hand and said, "You must not do this!"
"This...why is this?"
County Magistrate Wang was shocked.
"This Anu is A Chou's sister. A Chou and Su Shangxian have a deep friendship since childhood. Su Shangxian will definitely save Anu for A Chou. But if you take the lead and come forward to save someone, it will be like letting Su Shangxian owe you a favor!
Even the secular people are unwilling to owe favors easily. Immortals are afraid that this matter is even more taboo. Which immortal would be willing to have a more favor debt for no reason?
If you ask the immortal to owe you a favor, then do you plan to ask the immortal to repay you with this favor? Do you think you are tired of living?!"
Zhao Juzhen said in a deep voice.
County Magistrate Wang suddenly thought about this, looked horrified, shook his head repeatedly and said, "I dare not! What kind of virtue is the subordinate official? How dare you make the emperor owe favors."
"This matter needs to be carefully considered!"
Officials of all sizes thought about it and said that this matter was not ordinary tricky.
In the name of Su Shangxian, it is easy to ask the horse gang to sell their contracts and release them immediately.
But who dared to interfere in his affairs and do this before Su Shangxian. In disguise, Su Shangxian received a favor.
The most subtle thing about love is the most subtle.
Debts of favors and every favor is a debt, so those who value love and friendship are unwilling to owe debts of favors. If you owe something, you must think about paying it back as soon as possible.
But if the identities of the two are so different, and the high-ranking person owes a debt of favor to the humble, it is probably even more powerful than a knife.
Even if the senior management of the horse gang discovered this relationship, they would be in a dilemma and would be in a difficult situation. They didn't know what to do to let him go, and they wouldn't let Su Shangxian owe him a favor.
The Gusu County Magistrate cannot afford to take it, so how can their horse gang take it?
If Su Shangxian owes them a favor, I am afraid that the whole gang will be unable to sleep or eat.
"Before Su Shangxian came...can't do anything. Wait for him to come in person and redeem the person."
"But, does Su Shangxian know that Fei Xingnu is A Chou's sister? Su Shangxian has nowhere to go in the past two days. Will he appear? If Su Shangxian doesn't know this relationship at all... if he fails to come, I'm afraid it's not good."
Everyone's hearts were heavy.
Zhao Juzhen pondered for a long time and said, "It's okay, I have the last plan here. Su Shangxian has a tens of thousands of taels of silver awarded by the bandits, but has not yet received it. If the courtesan conference ends and Su Shangxian still fails to come in person, he can only spend the money in the name of Su Shangxian, redeem her, and give her freedom... In this way, she is still considered to be Su Shangxian's rescue, not saved by others. This favor will not be recorded on anyone's head."
Wang Qin almost nodded in agreement: "That's all, wait first and see if Su Shangxian will come tonight."
Everyone can only wait.
Bai Juyi thought about it and said, "Come here, please serve me!"
His followers immediately spread a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table.
Bai Juyi briefly thought, picked up the pen and splashed the ink.
"Pipa Xing"
After much clamor, I came out, and I still hugged the pipa and covered my face.
Lightly fold and slowly twist and wipe and pick again, first it is the robe behind the colorful dress.
The noise is noisy and complicated, and the big beads fall on the jade plate.
To be continued...
