Chapter 70 The Fellow
As a woman, Lin Xiaosu didn't know where Yuhualou was. Lin Zhan knew it in his heart, but he was a little hesitant and dared not accompany him. He could not afford to spend money once when he came to Qingxu Yashe, let alone go to Yuhualou, where he could not handle the money waiting for the gold deposit.
"Brother Lin, why can you not celebrate today? I will be the hostel today." Han Jian smiled and patted Lin Zhan on the shoulder, "As for Miss Lin, the teahouse has not opened these two days. If you don't go back, you will be ready to have a good night's sleep and start your business again tomorrow morning?"
It was said that it was a celebration. Lin Zhan, as the beneficiary, should have treated him, but he was not arrogant at this time. When he saw Lin Xiaosu away, the group came out of Qingxu Yashu at dusk. When he encountered a problem, no one knew where Yuhua Tower was.
Sima Yi looked at Yang Xi and said in a bad tone: "Young Master Yang, you asked to go to Yuhualou to watch the Xiliu performance, don't you lead the way?"
Yang Xi apologized: "This... I just heard that Yuhualou is a very famous official prostitute in Luoyang City, but I don't know where it is."
Han Jian smiled helplessly and was about to ask the guards of the East Prince's Mansion to inquire, Lin Zhan, who had been silent, said: "A few... know the exact location of Yuhua Building."
Only then did Han Jian remember that Lin Zhan was also a good guide. After all, Lin Zhan was the captain of Luoyang City and was forced to walk around the streets when patrolling.
"Then let Brother Lin lead the way."
The sunset and dusk of Luoyang City coincide with the evening market, which is also the most lively time of the day in Luoyang City. Whenever there is a street to go to the market, the streets are so lively that it is difficult to even interfere. The more this happens, the more people like to squeeze into such places.
When the group led by Lin Zhan to a wide alley, Han Jian couldn't help but frown. Although the alley was coming and going, it was a little different from the grand fireworks place he remembered.
"Young Master, Yuhualou is indeed inside." Lin Zhan affirmed in his words, "This place is called Qingliuxiang, which is the famous Huajie Liuxiang in Luoyang. Yuhualou is the most famous among them. Many high-ranking officials and nobles often come."
Han Jian glanced at the open space outside the alley and found that there were indeed many official sedan chairs, and there were also special business operations for the sedan chair owners of these official sedan chairs, and there were all kinds of teahouse stalls.
Han Jianxin thought that this should be similar to the eight great Hutongs, where places like kilns are generally crowded and popular.
"What are you waiting for? You'll know if you go in and take a look." When there was a need to explore, Sima Yi always took the lead.
Since he wanted to visit the kiln, he could not bring the guards in. Han Jian first asked the guards to wait outside. There were mixed places like this, and Han Jian was afraid of some trouble, so he did not let the guards go back home directly.
In this way, only Han Jian, Sima Jie, Yang Xi and Lin Zhan were left in the group.
"Brother Lin, do you know about this?" Han Jian asked on the way in.
Lin Zhan said ashamedly: "I came to inspect the situation when I was on duty, but I was short of money and never had the chance to come inside to see it. The local guards around here all have an official background. If something happens, our Tingwei Mansion will not easily intervene. So... I am not very familiar with this place."
Han Jian nodded, the underworld also has the order of the underworld.
He also had doubts. Lin Zhan is a man in his twenties who is not married, does not prostitute or gamble. Does he not even have a good relationship?
At this moment, a figure shaking his head appeared beside him. When the man saw Han Jian and others, he shouted happily: "Hey, are you really?"
Han Jian glanced at him and frowned. He had not met many people for a long time in Luoyang, but he "knows" this person and could not be called a friend, or even an "enemy".
It was Huang Lie who had a conflict with them in Qingxu Yashe, and later became a big conflict between the Eastern Prince's Mansion and the Southern Prince's Mansion. At this time, Huang Lie was wearing a long gown, dressed in a Confucian scholar, looking like a man.
"Ah, what do you want?" As soon as he saw Huang Lie, Sima immediately set off and made a fight.
Huang Lie quickly took two steps back and smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand me, you have no malice. They are all fellows. The so-called fellows don't beat fellows. Besides, weren't all the misunderstandings resolved last time?"
Although Huang Lie was not hostile, Sima Yi was still very cautious. Han Jian saw that Huang Lie came out and didn't even bring a follower. At this time, everyone from the Southern Prince's Mansion had left Luoyang. He probably didn't dare to cause trouble.
"Young Master Huang didn't come back south with the carriage of the Nanwang Mansion?" Han Jian did not show his friendship or showed hostility.
When asked about this, Huang Lie looked helpless and said, "My uncle and uncle have taken an errand for me in the Luoyang Ministry of War, and asked me to stay here for a year or two before going back. Now I am alone..."
Han Jian reacted for a moment before he realized that the "uncle" he was talking about was Yang Luochuan, the Southern King. Han Jian sneered in his heart. This guy was purely accused of his own fault. He almost caused trouble in Luoyang and almost caused a fight between the Eastern Prince's Mansion and the Southern Prince's Mansion.
Perhaps because of this, the King of Southern thought he was annoying and left him in Luoyang City as a lesson.
"Oh, it's rare." Han Jian said, "If you don't fight, you won't know each other. If Mr. Huang doesn't dislike you, then let's go together?"
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it." Huang Lie did not treat himself as an outsider at all, and he smiled and immediately seemed to be integrated into this group of people.
There was a familiar and close friend, and the group suddenly disappeared, mainly because they didn't know what to say. Huang Lie, who was still arrogant a few days ago, was like a playboy with no temper, and he became smiling.
Han Jian asked, "Young Master Huang often visits here?"
"That's right, I'm familiar with this place, especially Yuhualou. I've been here many times and I'm very familiar with the madam there." Huang Lie's smile on his face was like a blooming dog tail flower. "Tell you a secret. The owner behind the scenes of Yuhualou is Shishang Li of the Ministry of Justice, so once an official wife and daughter are sent to him, they will be sent to him when they meet a beautiful woman. I guess they are coming for this, right?"
The boss behind Yuhua Building is Li Wei, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice. Han Jianxin said that he really doesn't know.
"Young Master Huang, please talk carefully. We are not familiar with each other for the first time."
Huang Lie looked anxious and said, "The government sentenced the case and sent a female family to the official family. To put it nicely, it was a happy girl. To put it bluntly, it wasn't for us to show it? In the past two days, there seemed to be many senior officials in the court, and many of them were sent to the exile. I heard that one of them was named Jiang Xiao, whose wife and I were both beautiful women, and they were all taken to Yuhualou. It would be a pity not to come and take a look."
Han Jian looked at Yang Xi who was a little confused. He thought to himself that the fraud case had only been two days ago. Is there any official wife and daughter who were so anxious to deal with the fraud case? Besides, Li Wei and Jiang Yingcai are in the same group. Li Wei needs to be so anxious. As soon as the accomplice was punished, he brought all his accomplice's wife and daughter-in-law to Yuhualou to greet the guests?
"This case seems to have just been released. Is the court so anxious?" Han Jian said casually.
Huang Lie sighed, "Oh! It's all the blame for the man surnamed Jiang. I heard that when something happened to him and his father, he kicked his legs in the cell and hanged him. Isn't it obvious that they are guilty? Now the father and his wife have entered Yuhua Building together, that's really...hehe."
Huang Lie's smile on his face was a bit lewd, "Today, not only are there two women from the Jiang family, but he also has a surname named He. He just came from the Jiaofang and not only has a look, figure and talent. In addition, Xiliu, a famous prostitute from Xidu, came to support the venue today, and it would be difficult for Yuhualou to not be lively. Let's go quickly, if you go late, I'm afraid that the private room will be occupied by others."
