Let's talk about Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Hu Wenzhi. After arranging their fancy clothes, they did not continue to hang out outside, but went back to the inn to rest.
After all, tonight's entertainment activities may last until late at night, and the three of them have not yet fully adjusted from the fatigue of the journey, so they decided to make full use of the period from afternoon to evening to recharge their batteries.
In a blink of an eye, at Youshi, the sky was gradually darkening, and the three of them had almost regained their energy, so they met again and left the inn together.
The three of them first found a stall on the street and ate some delicious snacks to pad their bellies, and then walked leisurely to the Xinghui Tower.
We have mentioned more than once in the previous article that the "Xinghui Tower" was probably the most famous brothel in Dashu during the Yongtai period. In comparison, the Qiliu You and Yuqi Tower that appeared in the previous article
, Yaomenglou and other brothels are at least a step and a half inferior.
Many dignitaries, even at the risk of being dismissed from office, come here to have fun, not to mention those who are not bound by their official positions, not to mention people from the green forest... Every year
I don't know how many "heroes" were ruined in this gold-selling cave, and some even gave up their entire fortune and life here.
From this, it is not difficult for everyone to see that the boss of Xinghui Tower is a person with a good background.
Moreover, he is different from the "behind-the-scenes boss" who hides in the dark and is only known to a few people. His identity is public.
The man known as the "King of Desire" in the world is the owner of Xinghui Tower.
When you see this, someone must be asking, is this "King of Desire" one of the six people referred to in the "Six Kings Confrontation" in this volume?
Yes, he is, and it doesn't hurt to name all these six people here. They are...
"Sword King" - the master of Jinling Sword King's Mansion, "Xunlong Sword" Dugu Sheng.
"Boxing King" - Huo Ming, the head of the Hebei Ba Boxing Sect, "Ba Fist".
"King of Guns" - known as "the best gun in the world" by people in the world. His surname is abbot, but he is not a monastic abbot.
"The King of Desire" - Boss Ding Bu Zhu Ding, the leader of the Price Gang and the boss of Xinghui Tower, whose nickname is the "King of Desire".
"The King of Gambling" - the current head of the Murong family, the head of the Huanyi Pavilion, Murong Shu, the "winner with half a hand".
"Poison King" - the "Shadowless Poison Lord" who takes money to do things but is never seen. His name is unknown.
These six people will appear one by one in this volume. Now let’s mention them first and then return to the story...
At Xu Shi, Sun, Huang, and Hu finally arrived at the Xinghui Tower.
This place does not open its door facing the street like other brothels, and there are no madams and girls posing in front of the door to solicit customers.
Outside the main entrance of this place is a rather deserted open space, which can only be reached by walking through a short winding forest path. All guests need to walk through this section before entering the Xinghui Building, so whether you take the
Whether you are coming in a sedan or riding a horse, you must first get off the sedan and your horse at the entrance of the trail. Then someone will guide your sedan bearers or lead your horse to a place more than 100 meters away where sedans and horses are specially parked.
There is also a place for the bearers and servants to rest.
Yes, this is basically the ancient version of "valet parking", and in addition to the "car", even those servants you don't want to bring into the store can help you arrange it.
Of course, if you come directly on foot, you don't need this service.
Not long after, Sun, Huang, and Hu walked through the path and walked towards the gate of Xinghui Tower. Before they got close, they saw several people standing at the door in the open space. From the sound of their voices, they seemed to be still arguing.
What.
"Cena, why?" A man speaking with a local accent and carrying a large box seemed to be being blocked from the door, so he was venting his dissatisfaction.
As for the few Xinghui Tower guys who stopped him, they were all wearing uniforms. Although they were all tall and thick, and they looked like they were practicing family members at first glance, none of them showed a fierce look at this moment, or even yelled loudly. They were just very calm.
, restraint to block and persuade the other party to leave.
"I'm sorry for making you laugh." Seeing Sun Yixie and the other three approaching, one of the waiters immediately walked up to them, apologized and explained,
"I happen to encounter some small things over there. If you three feel troubled, we can take a step to talk..."
Sun, Huang, and Hu looked at each other in confusion. Two seconds later, Sun Yixie said, "It's okay. That has nothing to do with us. Just say whatever you want."
"Okay." The guy nodded, not mincing words, and said directly, "I see that the three uncles are all new to me. It seems that this is the first time I have come to our Xinghui Building. Let me ask...if anyone can introduce the three of you to us.
Save?"
"What?" Huang Donglai was really surprised when he heard this, "You open the door for business here, but do you still need to introduce guests when they come in? And provide a guarantee?"
It is normal for him to be surprised. After all, even if the concept of "members-only restaurant/CLUB" existed in those days, it was not used in such places.
And another thing that made him a little concerned was... such a guy who stood up casually at the door could confidently tell that the three of them were "first time here" with just one glance. This memory was a bit amazing.
ah.
"Yes." Two seconds later, the waiter replied calmly, "This is the rule here. Of course, it doesn't matter if no one introduces you as a guarantee. Each guest only needs to deposit two hundred taels of tea first.
Money' can come in even if it's small here."
"What the fuck, you're going to charge us 600 taels before you even get through the door?" Sun Yixie couldn't help opening his mouth at this moment. He said and looked to the other side, "I said...
...The one who refused to pay the money was stopped by you?"
Brother Sun asked this question because after standing here for a while and listening to the few words of the person next to him, he roughly understood that the man had made an appointment with someone else to discuss business here. As a result, he got there first, and the person who introduced him still refused.
He didn't come, and he refused to pay the two hundred taels of deposit, so he was stopped here to talk.
