"Master Su, Master Liang, and Master Sun, these three are rare visitors. They haven't been to our Jiaofang Department for a long time, right?"
When Su Yu and Liang Yuxuan walked into the Jiaofang Division, the Madam was startled, and then hurriedly came up to them with a flattering look on her face.
Now Su Yu has undoubtedly become a well-known figure in the entire Tai'an City.
When the people in the city educate their children, Su Yu is singled out as a role model. It can be said that as soon as I can remember, the name Su Yu has become a lingering idol figure for children.
Even the young women in the city who are about to get married use Su Yu as a benchmark when looking for their partner.
And Su Yu's deeds of redeeming the lives of the four great courtesans of Jiaofangsi became a well-known story in Tai'an City.
The madam, who had dealt with Su Yu several times, had already been subdued by Su Yu.
However, since Su Yu got married, he has not been to Jiaofangsi for a long time.
Seeing Su Yu leading the two adults to Jiaofangsi now is undoubtedly beyond the Madam's expectation.
The four newly promoted courtesans all consulted her secretly. If Mr. Su from the Zhenwu Division comes to the Jiaofang Division, they must send someone to inform them immediately.
After all, for them, if they can win Su Yu's favor and redeem themselves, that would definitely be their best destination.
Unfortunately, what makes the four newly promoted oirans jealous is that Mr. Su, who was once famous, has never been to Jiaofangsi again since his wedding to the daughter of the Wu family.
This made the four new oirans sigh. After all, they became the oirans late at night.
If he had become an oiran a year early, perhaps he would be one of the four most famous oirans in the world.
In addition, the four of them had the same standards for finding men as Su Yu, which led to the fact that they had never met a man they liked since they became courtesans.
"Old Madam, we are here to attend a banquet hosted by Mr. Zhao Xinglu and Mr. Zhao. Which box is he in?"
Su Yu flipped his wrist and found a silver ingot weighing ten taels in his hand, which he threw directly to the madam.
"Master Zhao?"
After catching the money, the old bustard was startled for a moment, then immediately reacted and said with a smile: "Master Zhao is in the Tianzihao box. I will take three adults there."
Saying that, the Madam swung her hips and led the way, leading Su Yu and the others to the Tianzihao box.
Seeing the madam's swaying buttocks, Su Yu couldn't help but think of Shi Junqing, who had gone to Yuanzhou to serve as governor.
On the night of his promotion banquet, he was sleeping with the madam.
I have to say that Shi Junqing’s taste is indeed unique.
Su Yu withdrew his gaze and looked at each other, Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xicui, and the three of them suddenly smiled in tacit understanding.
Apparently all three of them were thinking of Shi Junqing, who was hosting a banquet here.
Under the leadership of the old bustard, the three of them arrived at the box where Zhao Xinglu was.
"Master Zhao, I have brought you three adults."
The madam stepped into the box and smiled flatteringly.
Zhao Xinglu stood up in a hurry, greeted Su Yu with a smile, and said, "Brother Su, you are finally here. It's a long way to welcome you, but it's really a long way to welcome you. Please take a seat quickly."
"Brother Zhao, it's my brother. I'm sorry. I'm busy with business, so I came a little late. I made Brother Zhao wait for a long time. Please forgive me."
Su Yu cupped his fists and bowed, and said with an apologetic smile.
"Brother Su, I just came here, so there's no reason why I'm late."
After Zhao Xinglu finished speaking, he looked at the old bustard and ordered: "Old bustard, ask the chef to bring the wine and food."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
The madam nodded and bowed out of the box, then looked at Lan Ju next to her and said: "Lan Ju, please immediately inform Qiuxia, Jiali, Wan'er, and Yueru about Master Su's visit to the Jiaofang Division.
Whether they can seize the opportunity or not depends entirely on them."
"yes."
Lan Ju nodded,
Qiuxia, Jiali, Wan'er, and Yueru are the four newly promoted oirans of the Jiaofang Division.
After they were promoted to Oiran, in addition to secretly approaching the Madam, hoping that she would inform them as soon as possible when Su Yu visited the Jiaofang Division, they also specially greeted the Madam's maid Lan Ju.
If the madam forgets this, Lan Ju must find an opportunity to tell her.
For this reason, the four newly promoted oirans also gave Lan Ju a lot of broken silver.
Tonight, even if the madam didn't tell her, she would find an opportunity to sneak into the backyard and tell the four oirans about Su Yu's visit to the Jiaofang Division.
Now that the Madam had ordered her, Lan Ju didn't dare to show any signs of neglect and trotted towards the backyard.
The scene that happened outside the box naturally did not escape Su Yu's spiritual perception.
He couldn't help but lament that when a man's status reaches a certain level, too many women are willing to stand in his way to welcome him.
He couldn't help but think of this time last year, when he was still poor and followed Ji Longcheng to Goulan to listen to music.
In just one year, he has achieved achievements that he could not even dream of a year ago.
Even the oiran of Jiaofangsi would attend the event ceremoniously when he came to visit Jiaofangsi, for fear of neglecting himself.
But he also knew that they were just interested in his current status.
If he was still a pony boy in the Zhenwu Division, how could he receive such attentive hospitality?
All of these are just different identities, and the treatment they face cannot help but be the same.
"Perhaps this is why people choose to climb up step by step, because the scenery at high places is really beautiful."
Su Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Now, as long as he raises his finger at the oiran, the oiran will scramble to climb onto his bed.
"Brother Su, I heard that when King Wu of Yanzhou conspired to rebel, which led to the death of Zhen Yin, the governor of Yanzhou, it was Master Wei who led Brother Su to put down the rebellion. Brother, I am very interested in this matter."
Zhao Xinglu said with a smile: "Brother Su, why don't you tell me the ins and outs of King Wu's rebellion case, so that when I go to Yanzhou and take office, I won't appear to be insufficiently prepared."
Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xichui on the side heard this, they looked at each other and couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.
Obviously, the two of them came here completely as foils.
The reason why Zhao Xinglu hosted a banquet for the two of them was probably because they needed two people to liven up the atmosphere.
Since they knew that they were the foils at this banquet, the two of them naturally would not let the atmosphere fall into a cold mood.
Just like Zhao Xinglu wanted to make friends with Su Yu, the two of them would naturally not give up an opportunity to have a good relationship with Xinjin Zhenfu.
If you can build a good relationship with a new governor just by photographing a few horses, even if this friendship is of no use, it is still a precaution. Who can guarantee that there will be no need for the other party's help in the future?
This is just like a poor person having a rich relative. Why do the poor treat the rich with respect?
It’s nothing more than knowing that if you encounter a disaster in the future, you may need the help of the rich. If you don’t communicate frequently, how can the rich help at the critical moment?
For the sake of walking around in the past, the rich had to take care of it.
"Master Zhao, you don't know something. In terms of pacifying the rebellion of King Wu of Yanzhou, Brother Su should be the first to take the lead!"
Liang Yuxuan said with a smile.
"oh?"
Zhao Xinglu was startled when he heard this, then became interested and couldn't help but ask: "Really?"
Sun Xichui on the side smiled and said: "At the beginning, Mr. Wei was just a master of a thousand households in the Zhenwu Division, and the three of me were three of the three hundred households under Mr. Wei."
"When our investigation revealed that the case of Yanzhou Town Fu Zhenyin was committed by King Wu, we completely fell out with King Wu Wei Qing."
"King Wu, with his own strength, faced off against the two commanders Qinglong and Suzaku, and still had the upper hand."
"If the fierce battle continues and the two commanders Qinglong and Suzaku do not escape, they will most likely end up killed in the line of duty."
"At this critical moment, it was Brother Su who stayed calm in the face of danger and came up with a way to make us come back from the desperate situation!"
"That is to seize Wei Yan, the son of King Wu Wei Qing, and disrupt Wei Qing's position."
"After the rebellion was put down, the previous governor Wu chose to retire. Lord Wei took the post of governor temporarily for his achievements in quelling the rebellion. Then the three of us were promoted to Qianhu."
After hearing the whole story, Zhao Xinglu couldn't help but sweat.
"Brother Su, I have to say that it's really unexpected that you can come up with this method to draw out the firepower."
Zhao Xinglu couldn't help but sigh: "If it were another person, King Wu might really have split Yanzhou apart."
"yes."
Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xicui couldn't help but echoed.
Is this really going to be reviewed? They have almost no chance of a comeback.
But under such circumstances, Su Yu's method worked, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Zhao Xinglu couldn't help but ask: "Brother Su, what were you thinking at that time, and how could you come up with such a method?"
Su Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "What I was thinking at that time was that if King Wu succeeded in dividing Yanzhou, Mr. Wei might not encounter any danger, but we people would be in trouble, and there would definitely be no way to survive.
"
"In this life-and-death crisis, I came up with such an impossible solution."
"Really speaking, it's all about luck."
"If I had it to do over again, I probably wouldn't have come up with that idea."
Zhao Xinglu laughed loudly and said: "Brother Su, this is in accordance with the old saying, when a person faces the pressure of life and death, he will burst out with unparalleled potential."
"In the case of King Wu's rebellion, you turned pressure into motivation. This is something that many people cannot do."
"I have to say that Brother Su is indeed worthy of being promoted to the Qianhu of the Zhenwu Division at such a young age, and there is nothing wrong with it."
"If Mr. Wei is willing to let him go, then I will have to take Mr. Su to Yanzhou no matter what."
After hearing Zhao Xinglu's words, Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xicui couldn't help but look a little strange.
How can that damn place in Yanzhou compare to the prosperous Tai'an City?
Even if Wei Lianyi is willing to let him go, will Su Yu choose to be transferred to Yanzhou to serve as the Zhenwu Si Qianhu?
Now Su Yu can be said to be living a life like a fairy.
During the day, I fished in Zhenwusi, and at night when I went home, there were exciting shows prepared by the oirans. I lived a comfortable life.
Su Yu said with a smile: "Thanks to Brother Zhao for taking such a fancy, I'm really ashamed to accept it."
"Brother Su, let's face it, if King Wu splits Yanzhou away, how would I have the chance to rush to Yanzhou to serve as the governor?"
Zhao Xinglu raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "In any case, I have the opportunity to serve as the governor of Yanzhou, and it is all thanks to brother Su."
"I won't say anything anymore. I'd like to give you a toast to Brother Su!"
"I did it, Brother Su, do whatever you want!"
After saying that, Zhao Xinglu drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Sun Xicui and Liang Yuxuan on the side couldn't help but twitch their lips when they heard this.
Can this somehow lead to his promotion to the position of governor of Yanzhou and be related to Su Yu?
I have to say that you, Zhao Xinglu, did everything you could to have a good relationship with Su Yu.
Su Yu picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, your promotion to the post of governor has nothing to do with me. It is all based on your own ability. I don't dare to take advantage of it."
"With this first glass of wine, I would like to pay my respects to Brother Zhao. Congratulations to Brother Zhao for being promoted to the post of governor and reaching the pinnacle of his life!"
Sun Xicui and Liang Yuxuan also hurriedly picked up their wine glasses and said in unison: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhao for being promoted to the post of governor and reaching the pinnacle of his life!"
As the first glass of wine was consumed, the atmosphere in the box suddenly became more familiar.
After three drinks and five dishes, the madam swung her hips and walked into the box again.
"Several adults, the four newly promoted oirans from the Jiaofang Division heard that Mr. Zhao was promoted to the governor of Yanzhou, so they specially prepared some impromptu programs to entertain these adults."
The old madam said with a flattering smile.
Sun Xicui and Liang Yuxuan couldn't help but glance at Su Yu, and felt a little sour in their hearts.
Obviously, the reason why the four new courtesans from the Jiaofang Division came here together was because Su Yu came to the Jiaofang Division.
If only Zhao Xinglu was promoted to the post of governor, he would not have such great charm to have four oirans come over to sing and dance.
The purpose of the four oirans is self-evident.
They hoped that they could perform well in front of Su Yu tonight, and it would be best if they could become friends with Guan Bao, so that they would have the opportunity to fly up the branches and become phoenixes.
"The four courtesans are here?"
Zhao Xinglu couldn't help but be startled, his face looked a little surprised, as if he didn't expect that he actually had such a big reputation?
Liang Yuxuan chuckled and said, "Master Zhao, you don't know something about this."
"In our Zhenwu Division, there is only one person who can stay overnight in the Jiaofang Division without spending any money."
"And that person is Brother Su in front of you."
"In our Zhenwu Division, Brother Su also has a famous figure named Ding Ding who is praised by everyone."
Sun Xichui smirked and echoed: "Secretly, the big guys also gave Brother Su a nickname, called Su Bai whoring."
"Brother Su, I have never spent any money on visiting Jiaofangsi, and the oirans were happy to throw themselves into their arms and give them gifts."
"We are lucky enough to see four new courtesans coming to join in the fun tonight. It's definitely thanks to Brother Su."
After listening to Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xicui's explanations, Zhao Xinglu finally understood the key to the matter.
The co-author was lucky enough to see four courtesans attending his promotion banquet. Was it entirely because of Su Yu?
"Haha, that's it. Brother Su, I will benefit from you tonight."
Zhao Xinglu's eyes were a little sour, then he looked at the Madam and said with a smile: "Madam, let them all come in."
"Okay, I'm just going to ask them to come in."
The madam twisted her hips and quickly backed away.
While Su Yu and the others were watching the performance of the four new oirans of the Jiaofang Division in the Jiaofang Division, in the Wu family's study room, Wu Chen was leaning next to the bookcase, while the maid stood respectfully aside, helping him flip through the books.
At this moment, a subordinate quickly walked into the study and said respectfully: "Master, is the manager of the Yuanzhou Animal Farm, Lu Ze, here?"
"oh?"
Wu Chen was startled when he heard this, and then said: "Bring him in."
"yes!"
The subordinate quickly stepped back, and after a while, he led Lu Ze into the study again.
Half a year has passed, and Lu Ze already has an aura of recklessness about him.
The whole person no longer looks as graceful as he did in Zhenwusi, and his face shows a perseverance.
Since leaving the Zhenwu Division after the incident of killing a colleague, Lu Ze defected to Wu Chen and got a job under his protection.
After he completed several secret tasks for Wu Chen, he had gained Wu Chen's trust.
It just so happened that the Wu family needed a manager for the animal farm in Yuanzhou, so Wu Chen arranged for Lu Ze to take full charge of the Yuanzhou animal farm behind the scenes.
"Lu Ze, I met the head of the family."
Lu Ze walked into the study, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully.
For him, if it weren't for Wu Chen's blessing, he might have died a violent death by now.
After the incident, he was able to live a better life than before in Zhenwu Division, all because of the young man in front of him who had lost all his limbs.
"This is the operating bill of Yuanzhou Animal Farm last month. Please take a look at it."
Lu Ze took out a bill from his arms, and the maid stepped forward to take it, and then placed it on Wu Chen's desk.
Every month he would ride a flying monster to Tai'an City in secret to report on the performance of the previous month.
Perhaps for Wu Chen, there is no need for him to report every month.
But Lu Ze knew very well that the role of his report was not just to report on the operating conditions of the animal farm, but more of an attitude of loyalty.
He wanted Wu Chen to realize that he was a trustworthy subordinate!
"No."
Wu Chen took a deep look at him and chuckled: "I am very relieved that you are doing things. Has anything big happened in Yuanzhou during this period?"
He likes Lu Ze's attitude very much and always understands his position.
It's a pity that there are not many people as sensible as Lu Ze under him.
Lu Ze shook his head and said respectfully: "Nothing happened. After Shi Junqing withdrew, the Luo family and the He family could only watch us gain a foothold in Yuanzhou except for playing some tricks in the dark."
But when he said this, Lu Ze frowned slightly and changed the topic: "But."
"But what?"
"During this period, Yujian Villa has been a bit uneasy. It is said that a thief has been recruited. He has broken into the secret room where Liu Ying, the treasure of the town, is enshrined, and has awakened the previous owner of the village, Xiang Wang, who was cultivating in hiding."
After hearing the news about Yujian Villa from Lu Ze, Wu Chen couldn't help but have a strange light in his eyes.
"I really didn't expect that the old guy is not dead yet."
Wu Chen murmured in a low voice: "More than ten years ago, when Xiang Wang retired as the owner of the village, he already had the perfect cultivation of the Soul Palace Realm. After so many years, he may have already reached the Divine Hidden Realm.
Cultivation."
Lu Ze stood with his hands down and did not agree with Wu Chen's soliloquy.
At this moment, a subordinate walked in quickly and said respectfully: "Master, the third princess is here."
"cousin?"
Wu Chen put away his divergent thoughts and frowned.
Why did Wei Lianyi come to find him?
He glanced at Lu Ze and chuckled: "After all, you are a criminal wanted by the Zhenwu Division. You should go behind the screen to take shelter first."
"yes."
Lu Ze nodded, and then walked quickly behind the screen. He couldn't help but be curious, why did Wei Lianyi find Wu Chen?
Wu Chen ordered: "Invite her in."
"yes."
The subordinate left quickly, and then led Wei Lianyi into the study again.
"Cousin, you are a very busy person. Why do you have time to come to my cousin's place so late?"
Seeing Wei Lianyi walking in, Wu Chen greeted with a smile: "Do you need my cousin's help with anything?"
"Cousin, don't worry. As long as it's something within my power, I will go through fire and water to help my cousin Wang do it."
When Wei Lianyi heard this, she couldn't help but look at Wu Chen deeply.
My cousin, do you still need to ask for your help?
Sure enough, it was just as the queen mother said, ever since his limbs were cut off, the dandy air in his body had completely disappeared, replaced by someone as cunning as a fox and unscrupulous.
Wei Lianyi looked around and then said: "I have something to ask you. Let them all go out."
Wu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said: "Everyone, get out."
People in the study room walked out of the study room one after another.
"Cousin, you and I are the only ones left in this study now."
Wu Chen chuckled and said, "I wonder why my cousin came here late at night?"
Wei Lianyi did not mince words and said straight to the point: "Who are you going to help in the dispute between the eldest prince and the second prince?"
When Lu Ze, who was hiding behind the screen, heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank, and a huge wave arose in his heart.
Is this a secret he can hear?
Wu Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "My cousin must have seen that the Wu family is not helping each other now."
"The Wu family is just a martial arts family with some money. They still know their identity very well."
Hearing Wu Chen's words, Wei Lianyi said calmly: "The reason why you don't help is just because the chips they gave are not in line with your wishes."
"I came here to see you tonight, and I think you have already guessed the purpose of my coming here!"
"If I become emperor, the Wu family will become the seventh transcendent force in the Wei Dynasty!"
