At this time, in the private room on the second floor of Xiancai Pavilion, several young men were raising their wine glasses and toasting each other.
After drinking a glass of wine, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much more relaxed. Upon seeing this, the young man who was the host gave a few instructions to his followers, then turned around and said with a smile: "Several brothers are willing to support me. I'm satisfied."
Feeling warm."
Then he stood up, bowed his head, and continued: "Some brothers may know this little brother next to me, and some may not. Brother Huang, please introduce yourself."
Brother Huang stood up and bowed his head, saying: "My younger brother Huang Muling, my father Huang Xuan."
It is true that the other five people present did not recognize him, but after hearing his introduction, they knew who he was: the son of Huang Xuan, the governor of the Hou Army Governor's Mansion, the former Prince Consort, and the grandson of Huang Chen, who was left behind in Zhongdu.
Huang Muling, the eldest grandson of Princess Qingyang, the niece of Emperor Taizu.
Everyone then introduced themselves one after another.
A rather handsome man with a long body and a jade face said: "I have Sang Chengbi, my father is taboo about Sang Jing, and my ancestor is taboo about Sang Shijie."
Huang Muling hurriedly said: "I have admired you for a long time." Sang Shijie died in the country, and Sang Jing granted him the title of Hereditary Hui Xianbo. He was also a descendant of the aristocratic family.
Another person, about twenty or so strong, stood up and said, "I am Cao Shou'an. My father is taboo about Cao Tai, and my ancestor is taboo about Cao Liangchen."
Huang Muling said again: "I have admired you for a long time!" Cao Liangchen also died in the country, and Cao Tai was granted the title of hereditary Marquis of Xuanning.
…
Two more people were introduced, and the last person present stood up and said: "I am Zhang Xian, and my father is afraid of Zhang Wen."
Huang Muling could tell from his position before that he must be the highest-status among everyone present. After he spoke, his thoughts were confirmed: Huininghou Zhang Wen is one of the military commanders that His Majesty most relies on today, even if Zhang Xian is not
The eldest son who can rise to the rank of nobility has a more noble status than the eldest son of some outdated hereditary military generals.
Moreover, Zhang Xian himself is quite talented. Now that he has been trained in the army, he has already held a position with a thousand households, and he may not be able to be knighted in the future.
Huang Muling immediately said respectfully: "I have met Zhang Shixiong and I have admired him for a long time."
Zhang Xian is a very approachable person and replied: "I have met Huang Shixiong."
After the two of them finished answering their greetings, Brother Lu, who was the host, said with a smile: "Everyone here should know me. But I still lick my face and introduce myself. I'm Lu Chenglin, my father's name is Lu Xian, hereditary Marquis of Ji'an."
Everyone laughed. Cao Shou'an said with a smile: "How can you insist on introducing yourself? You are so shameless."
Lu Chenglin also smiled and said, "I've been shameless for a long time. You only know today?"
While they were joking, there was a knock on the door of their private room. Lu Chenglin said: "Come in."
With a "squeak", the door was pushed open, and a woman who was less than forty years old, wearing a white silk jacket, a blue forged skirt, and an aqua-green robe, and whose beauty could be vaguely seen when she was young, walked in.
This woman is the brothel's old madam, known as Sister Han Yue. She smiled and said to Lu Chenglin: "Mr. Lu, I haven't seen you for a while. Where have you been promoted and made a fortune these days?"
He also said to several other young masters he knew: "Several young masters have not been here for a while."
Lu Chenglin smiled and said: "There were some things at home a while ago, so I had to take some time off. You see, when I got some free time, I brought my friends here again."
The old bustard smiled and said, "I thought Mr. Lu had forgotten me."
Sang Chengbi joked and said, "Mother Han, if you were twenty years younger, we would definitely be around you every day. But now, haha."
She was not annoyed and said with a smile: "Of course I, an old woman, cannot be the concern of several young masters, but my sister cannot be the concern of several young masters?"
Lu Chenglin said with a smile: "Since you know, why don't you invite Miss Qin, Miss Yu and the others to come over? Why are they an eyesore here?"
The old bustard said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Lu, Miss Qin is a little inconvenient today."
Lu Chenglin asked: "Why is it inconvenient? Oh, I understand. You don't have to worry, we are just drinking and not doing anything." After that, they still have things to discuss and won't do anything.
Then he suddenly realized: "By the way, according to the rules, I should go and invite you personally. Brother Sang, come with me."
The madam then calmed down. She couldn't afford to offend these young nobles, but if they were to call their top girl over so easily, her girl would no longer be valuable in the future.
So she was very confused, but luckily Lu Chenglin came to her rescue.
The madam smiled and said a few more words, and accompanied the two of them to go upstairs.
But at this moment, shouts and sounds of fighting suddenly came from outside. They didn't pay attention at first, thinking that some prostitutes were drunk and causing trouble.
But the sound got louder and louder, and screams were heard. With sharp ears, the old bustard suddenly heard the voice of the head of the nursing home, and he suddenly became nervous: What on earth happened?
…
…
Li Yihai took out the knife from the body of a guardian and laughed with the people beside him: "These people are so inexperienced that they fell down when they met each other, and the others also ran away. In the past,
Fighting the Tatars in the north, they will fight to the death even though their numbers are much smaller."
The people next to him sneered: "Comparing these people with the Tatars? They can't even compare to Zhang Shicheng's soldiers, let alone the Tatars. But they are not soldiers to serve the court, they are just serving others.
We are just looking after homes and homes, there is no need to risk our lives."
The two of them were talking, but they didn't stop walking. In a short while, they had already entered the building.
As soon as they entered, they waved their waist knives and shouted loudly: "The Yingtianfu policemen are handling the case. They all squat down and raise their hands high!"
The people in the hall were all ordinary prostitutes, and the people accompanying them were also ordinary prostitutes. When they saw a few people with armor on their bodies, knives in their hands, and blood on their clothes, they rushed in. I was so frightened that I didn't know what to do.
Okay. I heard their shouts and subconsciously followed the instructions.
Then the footsteps of "dang dang dang" sounded again, and several other people also walked in. Li Yihai was the captain of this team and ordered: "You guys, go over there; you guys, go over here; you guys, go over here;
You, stay here and guard, if anyone dares to make any move, I will kill you without mercy."
"Let's go up to the second floor." After he gave the order, he was about to take a few brothers to the second floor.
But at this moment, a slightly frightened voice sounded: "What are you doing?"
Li Yihai looked up and saw a middle-aged woman who was less than forty years old and dressed in gorgeous clothes talking. He immediately understood that this person was the madam of this brothel. He also understood that it was possible to open a brothel like Chu Guan in the capital.
Those who wait in the brothel are all backed by big people. So the madam is also very scared.
