After running to the door of the inn, Ling Yun dared to look back and found that no one was chasing him. Then he lightly patted his chest, feeling relieved.
In a blink of an eye, he went upstairs and pushed open Wang Jinghui's door as before, only to find that the door was locked. He could only shout inside, "Brother Wang, open the door quickly..."
It's really strange. Wang Jinghui never closes the door during the day. What's going on today?
Moreover, his shouting did not receive a response. Could it be that he went out?
After all, he had called Xiao He and Ah Fu to the bookstore to help, so he couldn't help but worry about them. If something happened, he was alone and weak, and the consequences would be disastrous.
I hurriedly ran downstairs and asked the new waiter at the inn. The news I got was that Wang Jinghui went out yesterday and didn't come back all night.
Ling Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but become nervous. Could it be that he was really right?
He slapped his mouth lightly, thinking what he was speculating on. If he was really right, he would be a crow's mouth.
Just when Ling Yun was in a panic, a voice came from outside the inn door.
"Brother Ling, why are you back?"
Ling Yun looked back, breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself, okay, okay, he's fine!
Just when he was about to ask Wang Jinghui where he had been last night, he was hugged by Wang Jinghui as soon as they kissed and before he could make a sound, and said hurriedly, "Brother Ling, lend me some money."
"Um?"
Ling Yun's heart tightened, and various thoughts passed through his mind. He wondered if he had gone to Yanxia Tower again, right?
Moreover, seeing that his brows were furrowed and his expression was solemn, as if he had encountered something difficult, Ling Yun worriedly asked, "Brother Wang, what happened?"
Wang Jinghui hesitated to speak, as if he had some unspeakable difficulty and it was inconvenient to speak out.
Seeing his evasive eyes and mysterious feeling, Ling Yun became even more confused now, full of doubts.
Faced with Ling Yun's confusion, Wang Jinghui lowered his head and hesitated, seeming to be considering whether to tell him or not.
Ling Yun, with his back to Wang Jinghui, sat on a stool, pretending that he would not explain the ins and outs of the matter and that there was no need to talk about asking for money.
"Brother Ling."
Wang Jinghui gently touched Ling Yun's shoulder with his hand and shouted tentatively. However, Ling Yun tensed his body and lowered his head to sip the tea without looking back.
Seeing this, Wang Jinghui gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind and made a decision.
He pulled out a stool, sat next to Ling Yun, glanced at Ling Yun, and whispered softly, "Brother Ling, I want to save someone, and I need three hundred taels."
Ling Yun didn't respond, just looked up at him and motioned for him to continue.
Wang Jinghui gritted his teeth and said cruelly, "She is the woman who sings in Yanxia Tower."
"What?"
Ling Yun stood up from the stool, looked at him in surprise, and raised his tone, "Brother Wang, you...you actually want to target the women from Yanxia Tower? Do you know who they are this year?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the people around them turned towards the two of them. When Wang Jinghui saw this, he immediately pulled Ling Yun into the room.
It wasn't until the door was closed that Wang Jinghui breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Brother Ling, don't worry, listen to my explanation first."
Ling Yun was quiet enough to listen to his explanation. With anger on his face, he asked, "Brother Wang, as a good friend, how can I not be anxious? How can I not be anxious?"
Ling Yun thought to himself, how could he not be anxious?
If he hadn't been down there just now, he would have wanted to stand up and slam the table.
In vain, he used to think that Wang Jinghui was a gentleman and upright, but he really didn't expect that he would join those romantic scholars and live in a land of fireworks.
This move was considered a romantic talent by those scholars who were obsessed with the land of fireworks, so that was fine, but now he actually had to spend money to redeem the person.
He was wondering what Wang Jinghui was going to do?
"Brother Ling, it's not what you think..."
"Whether it's what I thought or not, anyway, you want to borrow money to redeem someone, and there are only two words, no money."
After Ling Yun finished speaking, he turned his back and stopped looking at him.
Wang Jinghui stepped forward and looked at Ling Yun without giving up, and said patiently, "Brother Ling, you want to hear my explanation. If you still refuse to borrow it after listening to it, then I will have no complaints, my stupid brother."
"oh?"
Seeing Wang Jinghui like this, Ling Yun was a little surprised, as if things were not what he imagined, so he could only calm down and listen to his explanation.
Seeing that Ling Yun had calmed down, Wang Jinghui said softly, "Brother Ling, it's like this... the madam happened to be passing by that day and bought her back."
After Wang Jinghui explained, Ling Yun realized that he had thought wrongly.
The person Wang Jinghui wanted to save was the woman who had just been bought by the madam of Yanxia Tower. Because he felt sorry for her tragic experience, he felt compassion and wanted to redeem her with money.
As for the singing woman, why is she trapped in Yanxia Tower?
It turned out that the singing girl's father was seriously ill, and she had no choice but to live on the streets of Annan Prefecture or in various restaurants to sing.
When you meet kind-hearted people, you can also reward them with a few copper coins, and you can barely survive.
But a few days ago, her father's illness worsened rapidly, and she had no savings. Finally, her father passed away, but she had no money to bury him.
Desperate, she had no choice but to sell herself on the street to bury her father.
But because she wanted ten taels of silver, no one took action. It happened that the old madam of Yanxialou was passing by that day, and saw that she was still quite beautiful at the age of twenty-eight, so he had a wrong idea.
So after spending ten taels of silver to help him bury his father, he was brought back to Yanxia Tower by the cold-blooded and ruthless madam.
When she first entered the Yanxia Building, she refused to accompany the guests for a while. After being tortured by the madam every day, she was finally forced to open the business.
Wang Jinghui happened to be the one she received. Hearing the tragic experience of the singing girl, he vowed to redeem her life.
"Why!"
After hearing the whole story, Ling Yun let out a silent sigh, not only lamenting the life experience of the singing girl, but also sighing at Wang Jinghui's promise.
I don’t know whether Wang Jinghui’s behavior is a gentleman who spends his money in a proper way, or a gentleman who spends his money just for his beauty?
After sighing with emotion, Ling Yun asked, "How much silver do you want from the Madam of Yanxia Tower?"
Wang Jinghui stretched out five fingers and said with some embarrassment, "Five hundred taels?"
"What? Five hundred taels?"
Ling Yun was stunned and looked at Wang Jinghui in disbelief, as if he was asking if he heard wrong or if he said it wrong?
However, Wang Jinghui's response was a heavy nod.
After being stunned for a while, I calmed down and took a deep breath, thinking that special services in ancient times were really a huge profit industry.
The girl who had supposedly bought him for ten taels of silver actually wanted to redeem him for five hundred taels of silver, which made him faintly excited and wished he could get a piece of the pie.
Five hundred taels of silver redemption is like a lion opening its mouth.
I really don’t understand why Wang Jinghui was willing to spend five hundred taels to redeem a singing girl who was living in a land of fireworks?
