Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 219

Wu Jian led people to Hualiu Street.

This place is where brothels gather in Chang'an City. It can be said that it is the most prosperous place in Chang'an City during the day, and even the east and west cities are daunting.

Even in such a cold weather, there is still a constant stream of people coming and going here.

The appearance of Wu Jian and others did not attract anyone's attention in this place.

The people who come here every day are all dignitaries and wealthy businessmen in Chang'an, and few people really take a small headhunter seriously.

Looking at the bustling streets and the beautiful girls coming and going, a yamen servant suddenly asked, "Wu Butou, where are we going?"

Wu Jian frowned, and said: "In Hualiu Street, which brothel is the biggest?"

"Naturally, hundreds of flower shops are needed, but there are people behind the hundred flower houses, so it's hard to deal with."

Wu Jian's mouth twitched slightly: "It's not easy to deal with, it's right."

With that said, he led the people directly to Baihuafang.

Baihuafang is very big, it can accommodate a hundred or so people.

Moreover, they have installed a lot of kangs in the whole hall, so that the inside is very warm. For those rich people, it is simply heaven.

As soon as Wu Jiang brought people to the door, he was stopped by a turtle slave.

"To get in, you need to pay."

But before Guinu finished speaking, Wu Jian slapped him across the face: "Things that don't have eyes, the government office is doing business, and you still have to pay?"

Turtle slave secretly resented, but he didn't dare to say too much.

Wu Jian snorted and rushed in with someone.

"Oh, masters..." A fat woman greeted her. She is the old bustard of Baihuafang, her name is Huahua, and she is known as Mrs. Huahua.

And who would have thought that a person like her would once be an oiran?
"It turned out to be Catcher Wu. I don't know why Catcher Wu came to us, why?" Baihuafang and Jingzhao Mansion have many intersections, so Miss Huahua knew Wu Jian.

Wu Jian glanced at Miss Huahua, and felt that his eyes were very hot.

"Qin Biejia ordered that each brothel should give out two top cards for a charity performance to raise funds for the poor people in Chang'an, and your Baihuafang is no exception."

When she heard that she was going to play two top cards, Miss Huahua became anxious immediately. They made money by relying on the top cards. Qin Tian took away their top cards, so what are they going to do with this business?

In a brothel like theirs, the money earned by a top player is more than that of all the ordinary prostitutes combined. She absolutely disagrees with this matter.

"Wu Butou is a little too strong, and we have no obligation to raise funds for those poor people's charity performances. Forgive me for not doing so."

Wu Jian said coldly: "Then you have to think about it."

"Think it over, don't give it to me, don't scare me with those words, but to tell you the truth, the girls here have a good relationship with many dignitaries in the capital, as long as they act coquettishly to those people, you arrest Don't even think about staying any longer."

Those who can afford to open a brothel here are not easy to mess with, at least they will find a few backers.

In Lady Huahua's opinion, her words should be enough to scare Wu Jian away.

But Wu Jian just smiled coldly: "I suspect that there is something wrong with your brothel, now you are going to seal up your Baihuafang, when will the investigation be clear, when will you be able to continue to operate, come here, and drive all the customers away go out."

Wu Jian's expression was indifferent, and his words were irrefutable. After he spoke, the yamen servant who followed him immediately drew out his knife, and he was going to drive him away.

As Yamen servants of Jingzhao Mansion, they are really not afraid of the people here.

Lady Huahua saw that Wu Jian was not frightened by her, and that she was serious about it, and immediately became embarrassed.

Wu Jian was just investigating, and Jingzhao Mansion did have the right to investigate. Even if other officials objected, it would be useless. This is Jingzhao Mansion's own business.

If they investigate for half a month, will they really not open for half a month?
Then he doesn't know how much money he will lose in Baihuafang.

Lady Huahua was sweating on her forehead, she quickly stopped those yamen servants, then looked at Wu Jian and said, "Captain Wu, how long do you want to borrow the oiran?"

"A day or two."

Charity performances don't take too long, and there are so many oirans in the brothel, they can last for a few days if they line up. In this way, the oirans of a brothel can take two days. If the effect is good, one day may be enough.

Miss Huahua laughed when she heard that it only took a day or two, "Why is Catcher Wu like this? It's enough for my oiran to let you take them away, but I also ask Catcher Wu to ensure their safety. Of course, what I said Security includes a lot."

Many oirans are still girls with yellow flowers. Their identities are the strength to make money, so they have to pay a high price. She doesn't want her own girls, girls with yellow flowers to borrow out, but when they return, they are incomplete. of.

Wu Jian naturally understood the meaning of Mrs. Huahua's words, but he just said coldly: "Don't worry, I will return to Zhao when the time comes."

After finishing the largest brothel, Baihuafang, other brothels are relatively easier. In one day, Wu Jian and the others borrowed almost forty or fifty oirans.

After finalizing the quota in this way, Wu Jian hurriedly ran to report to Qin Tian.

Here, Qin Tian has asked other people to reserve the venue for the charity performance. It is a large place with a stage inside that can accommodate hundreds of people.

At that time, with so many oirans performing in it, I'm afraid that a lot of Chang'an dignitaries will flock to it, right?
But I came here to watch the Oiran performance, but I had to buy a ticket.

In fact, Qin Tian's idea is similar to that of disasters in later generations, and many celebrities' charity performances, all the income from selling tickets will be donated.

There are many stars and fans in the later generations, and in this era, the benefactors of these brothel oirans are the richest. As long as they want to watch, it is not difficult for Qin Tian to raise enough funds.

After Wu Jian and Qin Tian have done this, the next step is to publicize.

Everything is ready, but without publicity, who knows that these courtesans will perform here?
If no one knows the news, then there is no money to be made.

Fortunately, publicity is not a difficult task. This task can be handed over to various brothels, and let them tell the people who go to their brothels to consume. What's more, the government servants will post some notices and so on.

Such a big event that caused a sensation in Chang'an City spread quickly.

After all, in one place, you can see oirans from various brothels competing on the same stage, which is a grand event that you may not be able to see even if you spend a lot of money.
