After bidding farewell to Luo Yuzhen, Ji Yuan turned around and headed straight to Zuihua Tower in Luogu Lane, Tai'anfang.
As the name suggests, this is not a serious place.
Any man in Tianjing who likes to drink, have sex, and have fun will know that sentence if he asks a little.
There are many prostitutes and brothels in the outer city, and there are many brothels with hook bars in the inner city.
What does that mean?
These prostitutes and prostitutes are not one and the same.
Prostitution is selling one's body and selling one's flesh,
Prostitutes are performers and prostitutes,
The two have different meanings.
In a brothel, as long as you give money, you become the boss and you can have as much fun as you like.
Don't stick to any rules, and don't care if Sister Yao wants it or not.
As for Goulan Brothel, there are many more doorways.
Because prostitutes are often knowledgeable about music and elegance.
Play chess, calligraphy and painting, play music and sing.
Everything must be learned and everything must be mastered.
And their looks are not bad, and there are even some top-notch people with icy muscles and beautiful bones.
The guests they receive are all celebrities, talented people, court officials, and so on.
The grade appears to be different.
Therefore, I entered Goulan Brothel.
I want to be a guest and enjoy the pleasure of fish and water.
First of all, money is indispensable, secondly, skills are indispensable, and thirdly, appearance is indispensable.
With such conditions, one can be invincible and win the heart of a beautiful woman.
in short.
Between prostitutes and prostitutes.
There are obvious differences in threshold level and status.
The former is cheap and the latter is noble.
The Zuihua Building that Ji Yuan is going to today is a brothel in Tai'anfang that specializes in the flesh business.
About half a quarter of an hour later, when he arrived at Luogu Alley, where actors and actresses lived together, the outer three floors were already crowded with busybodies.
The poor people don't have much fun these days, and even seeing beheadings at the vegetable market relishes it.
If there was a lively scene in any house, I could join in. I would just move a bench and sit on it with melon seeds in my pocket.
"Beizhen Fusi is here again."
Seeing Ji Yuan's Tiqiyunyingying robe, everyone spread out to make way.
Suddenly, someone shouted:
"But Ji Jiulang, who is the number one in the martial arts hall?"
This stone stirred up a thousand waves and immediately attracted a lot of discussion.
"Ji Jiulang? Could it be that Beizhen Fusi Tiqi who pulled up a thousand-jin copper pillar and killed the righteous son of Liangguo with an arrow?
"Exactly! He looks so good!"
"You are indeed a young hero, so majestic!"
"This Jiulang is amazing. He has made a great contribution to our Tai'anfang!"
"..."
Suddenly becoming the center of attention, Ji Yuan remained calm and composed.
Holding the knife and cupping his fists, he cupped his hands from left to right, surrounded by people, and stared at him as he entered Luogu Alley.
Since the announcement of the list in the martial arts hall, he has become a celebrity in Tai'anfang.
There were endless visits every day to give gifts and make friends and invite banquets.
However, this is also in line with Ji Yuan's original idea.
He has no backing, and he has no family background.
If you always adhere to the principle that a tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, think about the practice of hiding one's weakness and forbearing until the time comes.
What opportunities do you have to get ahead in this life?
Ji Yuan went deep into the spacious Luogu Lane, where a series of well-proportioned deep house courtyards were scattered.
There were mostly red lanterns hanging outside, and the two wooden doors were ajar and not tightly closed.
It is said that this is the rule in the industry.
The red lantern means that the girl has not yet opened to receive customers.
Leaving the door ajar implies that it is convenient for men to enter the house.
When someone comes to the door, the lantern will be taken down and the door will be closed.
Those who come late will know what is going on at a glance, so as to avoid the embarrassment of bumping into each other.
"Brother Ninth, you're here, let's go in and talk."
A white-faced Tiqi was leaning outside the door of Zuihua Tower. He was originally lazy, glancing at the warblers and swallows inside.
Seeing Ji Yuan appear, he immediately cheered up and straightened his back.
"What's going on? What kind of antiquities can be found in Zuihua Tower, and you want me to appreciate their quality? I'm sure I'm not an appreciating girl..."
Ji Yuan held the handle of the knife with his right hand, his figure was tall and straight, his brows were stern, and he had an intimidating demeanor.
Just standing at the door, the turtle man and the old bustard didn't dare to come forward to greet the guests.
"Are you blind? Even my ninth brother dares to neglect me! I don't want to keep this Zuihua Building open anymore?!"
The white-faced Tiqi swung his scabbard and banged on the door, making a lot of noise.
After scolding him sternly, he turned around and said respectfully:
"Brother Ninth, you will find out later. Rong Xiao will give it a try."
Ji Yuan squinted his eyes and couldn't figure out what kind of dragon gate formation this white-faced Tiqi was setting up.
The intimidated Mr. Turtle and the Madam quickly approached him.
One bent over and called uncle, while the other straightened out his chest and called kiln sister.
Suddenly the hall was full of excitement and noisy.
"What's your brother's name? There were too many people drinking together last time, but I forgot to ask."
Ji Yuan took a rough look at the group of naked girls and women, and sighed that the quality of this brothel was indeed quite low.
When I looked up, I saw that everything was vulgar and vulgar. It was probably on the level of a club in my previous life, not as good as a higher-up Goulan brothel.
"The younger one's surname is Pei, and his single name is the word "tu" for "future", and he is the fourth in the family.
Those who are close to me call me Pei Silang, and my colleagues sometimes joke around and call me Pei Gouer."
The white-faced Tiqi said eagerly.
It seems that it is a great blessing to be known by Ji Yuan's name.
"Why do you call a dog? It doesn't sound nice."
Ji Yuan frowned slightly and asked.
"Because the little one has a particularly sensitive nose, the scent of powder, the flavor of food... you can tell the difference just by smelling it, so my mother gave her the easy-to-live-for nickname, Dog."
The fair-faced Tiqi named "Pei Tu" didn't care and replied with a smile.
"That's a good thing."
Ji Yuan's heart moved slightly.
The Emperor's Dao Map suddenly opened.
Destiny is reflected one by one!
【Pei Tu】
【One green, two white and two gray】
[Turn misfortune into good luck (green), nose orifice psychic (white), peach blossom calamity (white), mediocrity (grey), bad luck (grey)]
"There is actually a blue destiny. Fortunately, [turning bad luck into good luck] suppresses [bad luck], otherwise Pei Silang would be a broom star who would stuff his teeth even after drinking water."
Pei Tu didn't know that his fate was reflected, he cupped his hands and said:
"Brother Ninth might as well have a table of wine and food first, then call one or two good and considerate girls, and then talk about the antiques when you're done enjoying yourself?"
With a smile on his face, Mr. Turtle led the two of them to the mahogany table in the middle of the lobby.
About seven or eight tender-skinned young ladies stood in a row, each of them a bit charming.
"Business matters, let's not talk about romance today."
Ji Yuan shook his head and said:
"Brother Pei, you also know that I entered the martial arts hall to earn fame and practice day and night without slacking off. Drinking and sex...are not easy to deal with at this time."
Pei Tu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said:
"It was a small oversight.
Find a quiet private room and prepare a table with good food and wine. The girl won’t need it and will wait while you go.”
Judging from the way he gave orders, he seemed to be a regular visitor here.
Even more like the boss here.
"How can Tiqi, who is of no rank and rank, be so arrogant? Pei Silang must have some background."
Ji Yuan's eyes flashed.
Later.
He and Pei Tu went to the backyard together and found a quiet place. Good wine and food were quickly served on the table.
"Please don't blame Ninth Brother. It's not just a little trick, it's just that it's hard to bring out such things in public."
Pei Tu took the lead in punishing himself with a drink, and then took out a red wooden box with exquisite lacquer.
It's about the size of a palm, and there's a yellow paper like a talisman attached to it.
"This is?"
Ji Yuan's sea of consciousness swayed.
Huang Tian Dao Tu seemed to be tempted.
Suddenly there was a circle of brilliance.
"Does Ninth Brother know about the strange case of Qian Wu, the manager of the Salt Gang?"
Pei Tu lowered his voice and asked.
"I heard a little bit. Last time we had a drink, you all mentioned that not only did one person die, but Mr. Li Qi's life was also lost."
Ji Yuan's eyes were calm and no change could be seen.
"Before Qian Wu was killed, there were actually several people.
In Luogu Alley of Tai'anfang alone, two prostitutes disappeared during this period, and three watchmen on the street also disappeared.
This case has been reported to Heilongtai, and we don’t know the details at the moment.”
Pei Tu placed the red wooden box on the table, pointed at it and said:
"This thing was found on the body of a kiln girl in Zuihualou. The search did not reveal it at the time.
Later I found out that the boy who first discovered the body had hidden it secretly. He thought it was some valuable object and wanted to sell it for money, but he died suddenly in the woodshed yesterday.
The young man was ordered to come over to inquire about the case, and happened to find this object, so he took it upon himself."
Ji Yuan's face was as flat as a lake, and he said in a calm voice:
"What does Brother Pei want?
If something goes wrong and you are caught by the adults of Heilongtai, you will not end well."
Pei Tu smiled shyly and said indifferently:
"Brother Jiu said a few days ago that he likes to collect some unusual ancient objects, so I kept it in mind and kept an eye on it.
As for this matter, it can be big or small.
If Ninth Brother likes it, just take it. If you don’t tell me or I don’t tell, no one will know;
If you don't like it, then report it to the younger one and throw it into the warehouse."
Ji Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked curiously:
"Aren't you afraid of Fu Si Cha from Beizhen?"
The corners of Pei Tu's mouth turned up, and a sneer appeared on his white face:
"From the small banner to the general banner, to hundreds and thousands of households, they have never taken care of things.
Don’t look at the fact that our Tiqi has no rank or level, it’s easy to accomplish whatever we want.”
Ji Yuan thought for a while, pressed the red wooden box with his palm, and tore off the yellow paper seal that looked like a talisman.
When I opened it, I found a thin volume, like a book, inside.
But it feels delicate to the touch, like mutton-fat white jade.
