The Book of Heaven

Chapter 90
The lower alley serves the vulgar place of the army, and it is hard to catch the eyes of the high-ranking people. However, there are three miles of middle alleys, eighteen courtyards, and moderate decoration. The girls are young, beautiful and good at kung fu, and can say some witty words to make the Jianghu people happy. There are even some who can wield knives and swords with a smile, so they are most in line with the tastes of Jianghu people.

It is also the accumulation and finalization of many years, and the eighteen courtyards in Zhongxiang have almost become the exclusive place for the rich and powerful in the world to have fun.

"It stands to reason that you should choose a high-grade one among these eighteen courtyards with your outfit, but because of me, we can't go in."

Ma Deyuan was a little complacent in his words, and Ma Zheng also noticed that the eyes of those officials at the gate of the yard would slip up to him from time to time, but when he looked at Ma Deyuan next to him, these shrewd and cunning officials retreated.

There are also some flower hunters who look at Ma Zheng more, but when they land on Ma Deyuan, there are two completely different expressions on their faces.

One is contempt, warriors look down on literati, especially literati who are as pretentious as Ma Deyuan, the most embarrassing for warriors.

But not everyone is blind. Although Ma Deyuan is not usually in Tianshui City, he still has to stay for a while a year. The reason why the officials at the gate of the courtyard don’t know him is because Ma Deyuan usually doesn’t go here at all, but always Some gangsters recognize him as the son of the Ma family.

Anyone who recognized Ma Deyuan's identity bowed down and smiled, and even dared not take the initiative to say hello. If Ma Deyuan looked away, the other party would quickly run away. If Ma Deyuan nodded slightly, the other party would be like picking up gold. Silver is generally happy.

But no matter what kind of tycoon, Ma Deyuan would never talk to him, and he didn't even pay him a second look.

"Oh, Master Deyuan, how far we have to go, my legs are weak as a kid."

Ma Yaoyao never dared to relax, those vulgar fans in front of him were nothing more than nothing, even he Ma Yaoyao didn't look up to him, presumably he couldn't seduce Young Master Zheng, but the girls in the alley are only concerned with their looks He is already not inferior to Shangxiang, but only lacks in literary talent. If Ma Deyuan really took Ma Zheng to the gentle town of Shangxiang, he would be a tomb of heroes who didn't even have a king.

"Ma Yaoyao, if you talk again, I'll find ten sisters to serve you for three days and three nights, don't you believe it?"

Ma Deyuan didn't turn his head back, with a smile on his lips, the threat he uttered might be very charming to a man, but when it fell on Ma Yaoyao, it would really kill him.

After shivering, Ma Yaoyao quickly shut up, he believed that Ma Deyuan could do what he said, when Ma Zheng turned his head to look at him, the man who "smokes and looks charmingly" could only send two pitiful looks.

"Don't worry, I know what to measure."

Not wanting Ma Yaoyao to worry too much, Ma Zheng sent a message with his eyes, but Ma Yaoyao was still skeptical, probably because he knew how attractive that Shangxiang sister was.

"The Eighteenth Courtyard is just a fleeting moment. It finally reached the upper alley. You can smell it. The air seems to have a different smell."

Ma Deyuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Qingyun Shang Lane, straight up Qingyun.

People say that gods can ride clouds and fog, and that things can always be as happy as gods, and if they are crazy about men and women, they will only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals.

There are quite a few stories about gifted scholars and beauties in Qingyunshang Lane, but no matter how you whitewash it, you can't get rid of the strong smell of copper underneath.

There are also sisters who don't like gold and silver but talents, and even girls who don't look at looks and calligraphy, but there are always two ends in the world, one is rich and powerful, and the other is poor and short.

When Ma Deyuan closed his eyes and breathed in at the west entrance of the upper alley, Ma Zheng's eyes were burning brightly, and he was seeing that unbearable scene.

The mallet thicker than the arm hit the thin back hard, and the light gauze skirt swayed as she walked. For those who wanted to run fast, it was a layer of bondage.

If she couldn't run, she couldn't hide, the mallet used for cleaning hit the girl's back, and the pink skirt oozes bright red.

"what?"

Ma Deyuan's nose was bright, and before he finished his breath, his face changed color, his eyes widened, and he said, "Which one is in a bad mood, Young Master Ben?"

The roar came out, and the person holding the mallet turned his head quickly, his eyes swept over Ma Deyuan, and his whole body trembled immediately.

Ma Zheng was sure that the man knew Ma Deyuan's identity.

"Young servant of Yimenglou, I have met Master Deyuan."

The mallet was thrown to the side of the road and rolled into the gutter, and the girl fell to the ground, sobbing.

Ma Zheng didn't care about how the servants in the building flattered Ma Deyuan, he went straight to the girl and stopped three feet away.

"Master Zheng, don't worry about this kind of thing."

Ma Yaoyao reminded in a low voice from behind that he was afraid that Ma Zheng was just a baby, so he didn't know how deep it was.

"I'll save it, just to see how badly she is hurt."

In fact, the injury is not serious, but the girl's skin is thin, and the clothes on her body are thin, and the oily skin is broken by the rough stick. There are all kinds of emotions in it, so I can't stand up.

In fact, young men in brothels generally don’t beat girls to death. Thirty years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, this sentence is also understood by market villains. Guaranteed that there will be no red day in the future?
Sisters sometimes wait for fate, sometimes they wait for nobles, but the servants will always be servants, so keep a line in life so that we can meet each other in the future.

"Yimenglou's family affairs are really unlucky, hey, isn't this Qin Xiang?"

"Brother Deyuan knows her?"

Ma Zheng was curious, he thought she was an ordinary woman in the building, but since Ma Deyuan could call her by name, she was really extraordinary.

"Master Deyuan, this is Qin Xiang, who eats everything but wants to elope with a young man from out of town. It's mother's kindness that he didn't kill him. She wanted to kill herself with scissors yesterday when he was combed. Mr. Deng in Dongcheng is willing to pay 500 taels of silver to redeem her body, but she seems to be running away."

The boy crackled in his mouth, but Ma Zheng didn't know what to say after hearing it. On the contrary, Ma Deyuan, who was beside him, nodded repeatedly, pointed at Qin Xiang and said:
"That's it, it's okay to break the rules, Ma Zheng, what do you think?"

"what did I say?"

Ma Zheng raised his head, his eyes swept over the young man, the young man saw him face-to-face, and he was dressed up, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, but Ma Zheng's eyes were sharp and he could see clearly.

"This Qin Xiang can be regarded as a character in Yimeng Tower, but this kind of behavior can be regarded as a bad reputation, and she is still a nobleman, right?"

Ma Deyuan's last sentence was to ask the boy, but because the three of them stopped, and because of Ma Deyuan's reputation, two Sikes from Yimenglou had already come over, and Ma Zheng also saw a woman with heavy makeup coming out of the gate of Yimenglou. I guessed right, it should be the old bustard of Yimenglou.

It seems that Ma Deyuan really has a lot of face, such a meddling act, if someone else came, I'm afraid he should have been coaxed by Yimenglou's boys.

In fact, it was also because Ma Zheng was troublesome. If it wasn't because of Ma Zheng's presence today, Ma Deyuan might not have looked at it more.

"Rules are rules, but I think Miss Qin Xiang's injury is not serious, why don't you send her to the hospital?" Ma Zheng's appearance of ignorance of the world immediately attracted the servant of Yimenglou to roll his eyes secretly.
