Chapter 240

In the east of Yangzhou City, there is a Caisi Alley. The Caisi Alley is about one mile long. On both sides of the Caisi Alley, there are more than [-] brothels, and the number of restaurants, inns, and teahouses is nearly a hundred.

This is a place whose wealth is not weaker than Pingkangfang in Chang'an City, and it is also the place where the children of wealthy families in Yangzhou City gather most.

And in the middle of Caisi Lane, there is a brothel with a generous facade. The building is divided into three floors and is nearly five feet high. It is much higher than the surrounding pavilions. This is the most prestigious building in Yangzhou City. The famous selling gold cave - Yanyu Building.

Yanyulou is more to Yangzhou than Yulou is to Chang'an. Whether it is the cost of entertainment, or the beauties and wine in the building, it cannot be compared with other brothels in Yangzhou City. It is unique in Yangzhou and even in the entire southeast.

But at this time, it was still after noon, and it was the time when the entire Caisi Lane was the most deserted, even at the gate of the Yanyu Building, there were very few people.

In the northeast corner of Yanyu Building, in the secluded inner courtyard that even the most regular customers of Yanyu Building have never been to, Xiang Chong, the commander of the Danyang Mansion who had just left Linjiang Palace just before noon, appeared in Yanyu Building, and With his official title of Cong Sipin and the commanding army of a government, he even managed to keep his posture so humble.

"Xiang Chong of Danyang Mansion, meet your lady." In the outer room of the inner courtyard, Xiang Chong bowed to the woman on the other side of the screen across a screen.

"Humph!"

The woman on the other side of the screen snorted softly, and said to Xiang Chong dissatisfiedly: "Xiang Chong, I never thought you would actually have the courage to come to see me."

Faced with the woman's accusation, Xiang Chong, who was also regarded as one of the rich and powerful, did not dare to contradict him in the slightest, and quickly said: "Xiang Chong is not good at doing things, and I have broken the trust of the lady. I hope the lady will forgive me."

The woman on the opposite side said to Xiang Chong: "In order to help you ascend to the commanding position of Hanjiang Mansion, I spent a lot of money, but in the end it still failed. I really don't know what you will do."

Xiang Chong explained: "Young lady, it's not that Xiang Chong is incompetent, but that Niu Jinda's appointment as the commander of the Hanjiang Mansion was an order directly from the Ministry of War. We are really powerless. thing."

Among the southeastern states, Niu Jinda's Hanjiang Prefecture is the first to discuss Yangzhou, followed by Xiangchong's Danyang Prefecture.

Runzhou, also known as Jingkou, is where the Grand Canal and the river converge. It is the hub of the north and the south. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Its position is only below Yangzhou in the southeast half.

If Changsun Wuji hadn't ordered Niu Jinda down from the sky in the name of the Ministry of War, then Xiang Chong would have been the commander of the Hanjiang Mansion today.

The woman on the other side of the screen gave Xiang Chong a cold look, and asked, "So I blame you?"

Although it was through the screen, Xiang Chong could still feel the dissatisfaction of the woman opposite, and explained to Chong busy: "Xiang Chong dare not, the loss of Hanjiang Mansion's army is indeed Xiang Chong's fault."

Seeing Xiang Chong's obedient look, the woman seemed to feel much better. The woman said to Xiang Chong, "You don't pass on the news and don't come to the door. Today you came to Yangzhou under the order of the King of Chu. Why did you come to see me yourself?"

Seeing the woman, Xiang Chong asked, so he replied, "Xiang Chong came here to ask for something important."

The woman asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiang Chong said: "The king of Chu wants to thoroughly investigate the shortage of military land in Danyang Prefecture, and hold him accountable for his crimes. Xiang Chong wants to ask his wife to borrow some money to redeem and buy back the military farmland to fill the vacancy in Shangdanyang Prefecture's military farmland."

The woman obviously knew about the private sales of military fields in the southeastern provinces. After hearing Xiang Chong's words, the woman asked, "I wonder how much you still have?"

Xiang Chong lowered his head and replied, "Eight thousand guan."

"Snapped!"

Xiang Chongzhi's words fell, but the woman dropped the teacup on the ground before she could speak.

"Baqianguan, you said it lightly, you know how long this is the benefit of Yanyu Building, how much military land you have lost in Danyang Mansion in private!" the woman pointed to Xiang Chong and shouted.

Eight thousand guan is by no means a small amount, Xiang Chong naturally guessed the woman's reaction, and replied: "Ladies, please calm down, the military land of Danyang Prefecture is short of [-] mu in total."

The woman was also stunned when she heard Xiang Chong's words, [-] mu, which is already [-]% of the military land in the entire Danyang Mansion.

The woman said: "Xiang Chong, you are too courageous, you are so greedy for ink, how dare you come to me?"

Xiang Chong hurriedly said: "The military field that Danyang Mansion was short of was not done by me alone, but was ordered by my wife to buy the hearts of my subordinates. Now Xiang Chong is in danger, and I am afraid of his life. I hope my wife will help me. "

The woman listened to Xiang Chong's words, with a look of disdain on her face, how could she not know what kind of person Xiang Chong is, and that Juntian of Danyang Prefecture bought people's hearts for her, and probably more than half of them fell into his hands alone. , probably even the eight thousand strings may not be a real number.

Eight thousand guan is not a small amount, and Xiang Chong never thought that he could borrow all of it, but what Xiang Chong didn't expect was that the woman thought for a moment and agreed.

The woman said: "It's not difficult for you to borrow the eight thousand guan, but you have to do something with me."

"Young lady, just take care of your orders, and Xiang Chongding will do her best to do her best." Xiang Chong heard that the woman said goodbye, and immediately complied.

The woman said: "I have heard the name of Chu King Li Ke for a long time, and I have long wanted to make friends. I wonder if you can help introduce me. Please come to my Yanyu Building for the King of Chu."

After hearing the woman's words, Xiang Chong was slightly taken aback.

Li Ke is a majestic prince, who is the king of Chu. In fact, she can meet whenever she wants. If Li Ke doesn't want to, let's say he is going to command the army of Danyang Mansion. Even if the prime minister is here, he can't be invited.

Xiang Chong said with a distressed face: "Li Kegui is the king of Chu, he is the governor of Yangzhou, and he is Xiang's superior. I'm afraid Xiang can't be invited here at will. I'm afraid the words of a lady are a bit embarrassing for Xiang."

The woman waved her hand and said: "You can rest assured about this point. The King of Chu came to Yangzhou not long ago, and it was time to win people's hearts. You are the commander of the Danyang Mansion, and you are only under Niu Jinda. If you invite me, the King of Chu There is no reason to refuse."

Hearing what the woman said, Xiang Chong's face showed a thoughtful expression. He didn't know why the woman wanted to make friends with Li Ke, and he didn't know why the woman was sure that Li Ke would come to Yanyu Building, but he knew that he wanted to ask the woman to borrow the eight thousand guan The money was indeed his life-saving money, if he didn't have the [-] guan, and he couldn't redeem those military fields, then he would be unable to escape the responsibility.

Xiang Chong pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Xiang Chong wishes to try his best, and then I hope that the lady will not forget the [-] guan money promised to Xiang Chong."

The woman said: "Don't worry, compared with His Highness King Chu, the eight thousand coins you asked for is nothing. I will never break my promise."

Xiang Chong said: "That's good, Xiang Chong will leave."

Xiang Chong said, arched his hands, and exited the door.

Watching Xiang Chong exit the door and walk out to look at the yard, the woman who was behind the screen just now came out.

Taking advantage of the bright afternoon sun to see, this woman is none other than Qin Ji, Xianniang from Yanyu Building.
