Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 13 Rouge
The next morning, Cang Zhu came back from Yijun Tower.Although he only stayed up for one night, his face looked haggard no matter what.Alas, fortunately, he was determined and determined. He drank herbal tea all night to suppress the medicinal properties, which almost failed him.

Seeing Cang Zhu's slightly haggard face, Qi Ze knew that the matter was successful.Maybe because she is a woman herself, she thought that if she wanted to attract the attention of a brothel woman, she would ask her to help you.Then you need to show the difference between you and other men. The men who go to the brothel don't want to come out clean.

Xiangyu stayed in the brothel for a long time, and met all kinds of men, all of whom went for her beauty.If there is such a good man who doesn't touch her, looks handsome, and sits there for a night even though he is trying to endure it, he will probably be relieved!

At night, after Xiangyu dismissed her servants and maidservants, she saw a man in an indigo ink-pattern brocade suit and a black cloak come in, followed by yesterday's man, although his face was covered with The face was covered by the hood, but the noble and cool demeanor let people know that this should be the young master.

"Are you that young master? Please sit down, who are you looking for?" Xiangyu sat neatly at the tea table, poured two cups of tea, and put a cup in front of Qi Ze. .

Qi Ze sat on the chair and looked around, and there was no one there, so he put down the hood on his head, revealing a face that even Xiangyu was amazed by.

"I didn't expect your young master to look so good." Xiangyu said to Cang Zhu.

Cang Zhu glanced at Xiangyu, with this appearance, she doesn't like women like you, otherwise why would she buy you for a night and ask him not to touch her.

"Where, it's just a skin." Qi Ze smiled, then looked at Xiangyu and said, "You probably don't know me, but you should know Bai Yaoxue. I'm her cousin and...she fiancé. This time I came here to pick her up."

After hearing this, Xiangyu exclaimed, "You...you are sister Yanzhi's cousin. Sister Yanzhi has always said that she has a cousin, but she never said that she is her fiancé."

Cang Zhu was also shocked to hear these remarks. This change is a bit big. It turned out that he really came to inquire about the affairs of the Jin family, not because he liked other girls, which made him busy making tonics, and in the end he cheated himself .

Rouge is the prostitute who was redeemed by Jin Wancai, and the name before entering Yijun Tower is Bai Yaoxue.The reason why Qi Ze chooses Xiangyu is because Yanzhi's only good friend in Yijun Tower is her.

Yanzhi and Xiangyu met when they first entered the Yijun Tower, because they were stubborn and refused to accept guests, they were punished several times by the madam, each time they were covered with cuts and bruises.Maybe it was because they were sold in by others when they encountered the same situation, and they were punished together, so they felt a sense of sympathy and became best friends.

Rouge was redeemed, she was still a concubine without even a decent title, she was not as happy as a prostitute, at least she had a man who supported them, instead of sneaking around all day for fear of being discovered by the wife of the court.It is difficult for people to learn to be good in places like brothels, and Yanzhi might secretly send a message to Xiangyu behind Jin Wancai's back, explaining her difficulties.So, what she has to do now is to extract this address.

Hearing this, Qi Ze said with a sad expression: "Rouge? She changed her name. That's right, they've all gone to this kind of place." Then, he lowered his eyes and said: "The family agreed before that Xue'er and I were childhood sweethearts. But at that time My family was poor and I couldn't give Xueer a happy life. So I went to other places to study business. When I finally returned from my studies and had money to marry Xueer, I heard that she disappeared to find me...don't mention that I am her fiancé I'm afraid I was disappointed in me, and blamed me for leaving without saying goodbye, hated that I didn't come out to protect her when she was in trouble, and caused her to fall to this point." Qi Ze raised his head and asked anxiously: "Where is she now?"

Xiangyu saw that Qi Ze's sad appearance didn't seem like she was acting, and that Yanzhi did have a cousin, so she said, "Sister Yanzhi was redeemed by Master Jin a few years ago, and she is not in Yijun Tower."

"Not in Yijun Building? No wonder I didn't see her in Yijun Building. To be honest, I have been looking for Xue'er for a long time, and finally found out that she was sold to Yijun Building, but I couldn't find her. I thought she was still angry with me and didn't want to see me, didn't she think she was redeemed by someone long ago?" Qi Ze laughed at himself: "It seems that I can't find it, and I must have lived a long life after being redeemed. What a pity, what a day."

Xiangyu finally let go of her vigilance, and couldn't help saying: "Not necessarily, being redeemed may not lead to a good life." Then, her face was full of mockery, "A brothel girl is a brothel girl, how can she live a good life, even if she is kidnapped You can't hold up your head even if you redeem her as a concubine, let alone just an outside room."

Sure enough, Yanzhi sent a letter, and Xiangyu knew Yanzhi's current situation, including her address.

"Outside room? Xue'er was redeemed and used as an outside room. How could this happen? Xue'er..." Qi Ze covered his head and said in pain, "Where is she? I'll go pick her up."

"Sister Yanzhi entered the Yijun Tower, how could her body be clean, and she was redeemed by Master Jin, don't you mind?"

"...I don't mind. If I hadn't been stubborn and insisted on going out of town, she wouldn't listen to me when she stopped me. Now I'm afraid we're already married, so she wouldn't go missing to find me. In the end... I betrayed her, no matter what Anyway, she is my Xueer, and has always been my fiancée." Qi Ze's eyes turned red, and he looked at Xiangyu sincerely.

Xiangyu seemed to be stunned. After a long while, she raised her head and said with a smile: "Sister Yanzhi is luckier than me after all. She has a good man who loves her. I know where she is, but it is impossible for Mr. Jin to return Sister Yanzhi to you." Yes, I'm afraid you'll have to go for nothing."

"If you don't try, how will you know? Maybe I'm lucky, and Master Jin will give it back to me." The corner of the man's mouth curled up, and it was so charming that people couldn't help being stunned.

"Okay, I'll write you the address." Xiangyu took out a pen and paper from under the dressing table, wrote it down and handed it to Qi Ze.

Qi Ze looked at the note in his hand and heaved a sigh of relief.It didn't take much effort to get it. The reason why she didn't directly send people to spend money to buy news was because she didn't want to arouse Xiangyu's suspicion. Later, someone with a heart would follow her up and find out about her. No one would inquire about someone for no reason, unless they There was a relationship before.

People who Rouge can spread the word at the risk of being discovered must be trustworthy, and money may not be able to buy this news, and it is possible to startle the snake, making this matter even more difficult.

The reason to push people away is also to prevent others from discovering that Yan Zhi does have a cousin, and indeed her fiancé, but this person is not Qi Ze, and there are many ministers in the Yijun Tower, so it is good to hide some things after all. .

When leaving Xiangyu's room, Qi Ze put on the hood again and said to Cang Zhu, "You can come here as you like, but you need to change your face." I want tonic, the effect is definitely better than yours. If you want to experience Qi Zhe's feeling, it's not impossible."

Cang Zhu: "..." Master, it's easy to hold grudges, he just misunderstood for a while, and he really doesn't dare in the future.Think about Qi Zhe's weak appearance, but it took several months to recover, and he still won't come in the future. Excessive indulgence is not good for the body.

Back in Fusheng Pavilion, Qi Ze drank a cup of tea and felt better.He was acting in Yijun Building just now, he said he was thirsty, and he didn't even drink a sip of water when he was running around, and he didn't dare to drink the tea poured by Xiangyu, how could he dare to drink the water in Yijun Building casually.But to avoid revealing flaws and arousing suspicion, she took the opportunity to pour half of the cup of tea into her sleeve.

Women are generally moved by the appearance of being sad, infatuated, and unable to love, but they really don't know how much sincerity is contained in it, and how little it makes people feel ridiculous or even pitiful.Rouge's cousin is her fiancé but also the culprit who pushed her into the endless abyss.

Looking at the note in his hand, Qi Ze decided to look for this Rouge tomorrow night. During the day, it is easy to be found, but at night, it is quiet but dark. The endless darkness can easily call out the dark side in people's hearts and use it for her.

In a more luxurious courtyard, the surroundings are full of flowers and plants, but perhaps because they don't want people to notice, the yard is relatively small, and the flowers and plants planted are all ordinary wild flowers, which are out of place with this courtyard.

A bright-looking woman with a little sadness in her eyes but full of various charms looked out from the window, holding wild flowers planted outside.Maybe she was tired of watching, the woman stood up and threw the wild flowers out of the window, but was stunned when she turned around to take a rest.

Beside the tea table in the center of the room, sat a man wearing a hood. His clothes were so dark that they were covered by the thick night. If it weren't for the moonlight pouring in from the window, the room would be bright. It's hard to spot him.

The man seemed to have been here for a long time, and when he saw her turn around, he looked at her.Because the man's back was lighted, his face was hidden under the hood, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Miss Rouge, the scenery outside looks pretty good, better than the one in Yijun Building." The man's voice was low, with a touch of coolness, which made people feel refreshed.

Rouge looked at the uninvited guest, "Who are you? I don't know you, how do you know this place?"

Qi Ze tilted his head and smiled, "Who am I? I'm the benefactor who came to rescue you from this prison. You don't know me, but I know you. Bai Yaoxue, from Baijia Village, Liangzhou, why you were arrested Isn't it your cousin, your so-called fiancé who sold it to Yijun Building?"

Yan Zhi was a little surprised, and hatred rose in her eyes, "You know him, you know that heartless man. At the beginning, he said that he was short of money and couldn't do business, and then he would have no money to marry me. So I I was tricked into selling the Yijun Building to the old bustard, it was he who made me look like this."

Thinking of the scene at that time, Rouge wanted to laugh.He knelt in front of her, crying and said: "Xue'er, I really don't have any money now, what should we do when we get married? You feel wronged now, I promised the old bust that she won't force you to pick up guests, you She is still an innocent woman. I will come back to redeem you when I make a lot of money in business, and then I will hold a grand wedding for you. You have to believe me, you are my fiancee, and I love you."

She cried and said yes, let him come to pick her up earlier, even though she was wronged in every way, she still waited for him, believing in her heart that he would come to pick her up.

But he never came again, and the madam did not force her to pick up the guests, but she used those nasty drugs to make her go voluntarily.After that, if she didn't go, she started to punish them until they were exhausted and unable to resist, and they were carried away.This Yijun Building is really not a place for people to stay, and her heart has cooled down inch by inch with the passage of time and the beatings and scoldings again and again.

I'm afraid he already knew that she would not be able to maintain her innocence no matter what, and he had no intention of coming to pick her up, all he wanted was the money.

"I don't know him, but you want to know what happened to him in the end?" Seeing Yanzhi looking up at her, Qi Ze smiled and said, "After he sold you to Yijun Building, he took the money and returned to Liangzhou I went to the casino to gamble, lost a lot of money, and I couldn’t afford to be beaten to death by the son of the casino owner.”

Rouge was surprised when she heard that, she was beaten to death?Even if she was killed, she would be considered free without any so-called fiancé.

Seeing that there was no sadness in Yan Zhi's eyes, Qi Ze felt very satisfied, this kind of person was what she needed.

"How does it feel to be in this cage? How many times has Master Jin come to see you in the past few years?"

Hearing Qi Ze's question, Yan Zhi couldn't help thinking about what happened in the past few years.Maybe it's because she's afraid of being beaten too much, she will listen to the old bustard, learn the techniques of deceiving people, and also master the method of surviving in Yijun Tower, as long as she pleases those guests, they will give a lot of money.Until later, she seduced a master Jin and asked him to help her redeem herself and escape from this place.

Unexpectedly, this Mr. Jin was afraid that his wife was like a mouse meeting a cat, so he didn't dare to take her home and raised her in this other courtyard. He said it was another courtyard but it was really like a cage. She was Rats locked in cages are not allowed to be free, and their status is still unknown. Everyone shouts and beats them, and they are terrified every day.

Outer room?If you don't have a decent title, you might as well be a prostitute in Yijun Tower.Although there is no one to serve her, she doesn't have to sleep in the middle of the night with fear of being unable to sleep, lest the wife and wife come to her and drag her into the street to yell and curse.

Jin Wancai seldom came to see her, only twice in the past few years, when he just bought it, and every time he came to her secretly.Now she had almost forgotten what Jin Wancai looked like, except for the maid who came to serve her, she had never seen anyone else.

"It doesn't feel good to stay here. Have you ever thought about escaping from this place? You won't be so frightened if you have a decent status. With your means, Mrs. Jin will not be your opponent. The skills I have learned in Yijun Tower for so many years It's a pity that there is no place to display it. Huh?" The man's voice was seductive, as if it could confuse people's minds, and people couldn't help listening.

"Now there is an opportunity, an opportunity for you to escape, it depends on whether you can seize it."

"Why should I believe you." Even her fiancé lied to her, who knew if this person would lie to her too.

"Heh, besides trusting me now, do you have any other better choice?" Qi Ze couldn't help laughing, it seems that this Rouge still has a bit of a mind, and she no longer trusts others easily.But is there any other chance besides trusting her this time?

"Okay, I agree." Rouge agreed without hesitation, she really had no choice but to trust this person.Anyway, it's already reached this point. If you have done everything, then do it to the end. It's a matter of time before Mrs. Jin finds out. It's better to take the initiative and win a chance.

The corners of Qi Ze's mouth curled up, he stood up and walked to the window, and said, "Okay, someone will send you a letter tomorrow telling you what to do." After a pause, he turned around and said, "If you are obedient, of course your Good thing, if you don't obey, don't blame me for being merciless." After speaking, he jumped out of the window and left.

At the same time, many things happened in the Jin family, which made Jin Wancai very busy.

At the beginning, it was Jin Wancai who wanted to expand the shop, and found a few shops with good environment and geographical location.We had already negotiated and even paid a deposit.Unexpectedly, the next day, the family took the deposit and said they would return it, and the shop would not be sold.

Forget it, if it's a big deal, then look for it, Ding capital is so big and there is no shop better than yours?But soon the Liu family, who shared the Yantian with the Jin family, clamored for a division. I don't know if they think the Jin family's business is too good or what.Jin Wancai went to solve it, and the Liu family divided up the good land in Yantian and left.It didn't work to discuss it, so Jin Wancai was kicked out directly.

How can salt be produced without salt pans?Moreover, the Liu family is mainly engaged in the cloth business, so why compete with the Jin family for the salt business.It will take a lot of time to find another salt field, and there is no time at all.So I continued to discuss with the Liu family, but the Liu family refused to give in, and the two sides started a tug-of-war.

Perhaps misfortunes never come singly, a blacksmith shop appeared in the shops in Dongshi, and it was quite large in scale to make stoves for the people's kitchens.Because blacksmithing requires a lot of strength, all men are needed, and the environment is not good, dirty and hot.So a lot of monthly silver is given, and it would be nice if each of them took care of their own business, but this blacksmith unexpectedly got into a fight with the Jin family recently.

The monthly monthly silver is increased, and it is said that if a man works in a blacksmith shop, the monthly monthly silver will be more.This month's silver is three times that of the Jinjia salt shop, and a large number of workshop workers quit and went to the blacksmith shop.The shopkeeper of the salt shop couldn't stop him, so he had no choice but to explain the situation to Jin Wancai.

Now, Jin Wancai was depressed and worried, and couldn't sleep at night when he was worried.Fan's calculations at home found that the past few days have been short-lived, but it is not too much, so the shop will not expand, and if there are no workers, it will be found again, and the matter of Yantian will be resolved first.But the Liu family seems to be in trouble with the Jin family, and they just won't let go.

The Jin couple didn't know what was going on, why did so many things happen all at once?

When Qi Ze heard what happened to the Jin family, he knew it was Xu Siheng's handwriting. As a powerful family, the Xu family had many acquaintances with the ministers of the court and China, so he just reminded his colleagues and put pressure on the businessmen below.

It is very reasonable for the people not to fight against the government, but... the real big thing is yet to come.
