Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 9 Infernal Affairs (Repair)
Today Chapter 2 sent
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang De didn't wake up until noon. He drank too much yesterday, but fortunately, the alcohol content in this era is not high, otherwise Zhang De would not be able to wake up today.Zhang De insisted on finishing a circle of Tai Chi that the old men of later generations exercised. He felt that his head was not as dizzy as before, and his mood was much better. He was about to call his servants to get some food, when a familiar voice came from outside the door: " Old Thirteen, get up, brother will take you to a good place."

The person who spoke was Zhang Rang's second adoptive son. He had a good name, Zhang Liang, but he didn't have the demeanor of Zhang Liang, the founding hero of the Han Dynasty. The ancestors of the second generation were good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.Later, for some reason, he became Zhang Rang's godson, and he became more and more unbearable, causing trouble everywhere in the capital.Zhang Rang saw that he was causing trouble for him everywhere, so he found him a job as a county magistrate in Nanyang.Now it's the Spring Festival, Zhang Rang's godsons all returned to Luoyang, and Zhang Liang also returned to Luoyang to reunite with his adoptive father.

Although this Zhang Liang was unbearable, he was quite loyal and honest with others, so he became acquainted with Zhang De within a few days after returning to Luoyang.

Zhang Liang opened the door and came in. When he saw Zhang De, he yelled: "Old Thirteen, get dressed quickly, Second Brother will take you to a good place. I didn't expect that there would be such a good place in the capital after I haven't been back for a year." Said Then he pulled Zhang De, who had just put on his clothes, outside.

Zhang De knew that the place the second brother took him to was either a casino or a brothel, so he didn't want to go, but it was not easy to refute Zhang Liang's face, so he had to follow Zhang Liang out of Zhang's mansion.

Sure enough, Zhang Liang didn't take Zhang De to any serious place, they came to Cuihonglou, a newly opened brothel in Luoyang in winter.This brothel is one of the three major brothels in Luoyang. It is said that the Cuihong Building was opened by the steward of the General's Mansion, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that there must be the shadow of the General He Jin.

It was Zhang De's first visit to a brothel, so he was unavoidably cautious, but Zhang Liang was a veteran in this field, and he was very proficient in visiting brothels.As soon as the old bustard saw that the two were dressed gorgeously, she knew they were big customers, so she smiled and led them towards the elegant room.

Although Zhang De was not used to this kind of place, his heart was full of curiosity.This brothel is much more elegantly decorated than ordinary restaurants. In the last years of the Han Dynasty, there were no stools. People would kneel and sit on the ground when eating, and there were not many dishes. The main purpose of going to a restaurant is to drink, so to see if a restaurant is good is mainly to see the restaurant Is the wine in it good?That's why there is a saying that drinking is not afraid of deep alleys; but brothels are different, the more luxuriously decorated a brothel is, the more attractive it is. The first thing that dignitaries and elegant people go to a brothel is to see whether the decoration is luxurious. In the words of later generations, it is It depends on the "grade" of the brothel, so most of the brothels must be luxuriously decorated.

Zhang De was taken to a private room. This kind of private room is very unique, like those suites in later generations. There are three rooms in the private room. Each has a room, open the door and enter, and the beds and bedding are neatly arranged. Of course, it is for the dignitaries and nobles to enjoy the happy hour after drinking the flowers and wine.

As soon as Zhang De sat down, three scantily clad beauties came in, one of whom was holding a pipa.The beauty holding the pipa sat down in the corner by herself, and began to play and sing, while the other two beauties approached the two brothers respectively.

Zhang De had never been to this kind of place before, and he didn't know how to deal with the girl approaching, so he looked at Zhang Liang cautiously, and saw that Zhang Liang's hands had become dishonest, and he kept nagging: "Old ten Three, brother didn’t lie to you, this place is not bad. Let me tell you, my brother has been to all the big and small kilns in Luoyang, and none of them can compare with this..."

I don't know whether Zhang De drank too much recently or the wine was too strong. After drinking a few cups, Zhang De felt dizzy and drowsy. Gradually, Zhang De lost consciousness.

……

A strange fragrance came, and Zhang De gradually woke up. Once he woke up, Zhang De found himself lying on the bed.Subconsciously touched the clothes and found that they were still there, Zhang De breathed a sigh of relief.Looking around, it was pitch black, except for a lamp on a table not far away. Zhang De wondered if he was dreaming, so he pinched himself hard, and grinned in pain, it seemed that he was not dreaming. .I closed my eyes and thought about it, I should have been drunk just now, no wonder I was dizzy, probably the people in the brothel saw that I was drunk and helped me here to rest, I should be in a certain room of the brothel now.

"Yin Yi, you're awake." A hoarse voice came. Zhang De followed the voice and saw a masked man sitting in the corner. The man was looking at him, Zhang De was startled, and only then did he realize that he had followed someone else's way, if that person had been unfavorable to him just now, he would have been decapitated already.

Zhang De's mind turned quickly. This person didn't do him any harm just now, which means that he is not in danger for the time being.The person who can lure him here is either a person from the brothel or a regular customer here. Thinking about it, he can be regarded as a respectable person. Does this person have something ulterior to ask of himself?

At this time, the masked man continued to say: "Yin Yi, you did a good job this time. I wanted you to enter the palace, but I didn't expect you to be favored by Zhang Rang. It seems that Zhang Rang trusts you very much. The general will definitely remember your great contribution! I have trained you for many years, this time you did a good job, and I have a lot of face in front of the general."

After all, Zhang De was an intelligence officer in an underground transportation station, and he was quite familiar with undercover agents. His mind turned quickly, and he had many doubts about the original identity of this body.Zhang De once checked secretly. From the household registration certificate of the big man, it can be seen that the owner of this body is also Zhang De. The family used to be a businessman in Qingzhou. Later, his father was killed by robbers while transporting goods, and his mother died of illness. When he arrived in Luoyang, he planned to enter the palace as a eunuch.

Of course Zhang De didn't know that He Jinquefang fabricated this life experience for himself, and even changed his name after hearing Zhang De report his name.Que Fang originally named Zhang De "Sui Liang", but he didn't expect that Yin Yi would put the fabricated name in front of Zhang Rang instead of "Zhang De". B's identity was exposed, so he changed his household registration name to Zhang De, and sent someone to deal with Zhang De's background, so Zhang Rang sent someone to investigate and found no flaws.

Zhang De also thought that this person just said to let him enter the palace. It seems that he arranged for him to enter the palace as a eunuch. He said just now that the general is the general. Could it be the general He Jin? Could the original owner of his body have something to do with He Jin? relation?
The hoarse voice came again: "At that time, I wondered why you didn't use the identity that was prepared for you. In order to change the identity for you, we went through a lot of trouble, and the whole room was sent out to smooth out the identity for you. Now It seems that you changed your identity well, it's rare that you can think of this trick at that time, this 'Zhang' surname is good, otherwise Zhang Rang wouldn't be able to recognize you as his adopted son so quickly!"

Zhang De's mind continued to run rapidly, he cleared his mind, and realized that the original owner of his body might be an undercover agent. The undercover officer sent by He Jin to the palace was disrupted by his arrival. Zhang De knew that he had better not do too much now. Talking, the so-called too many words will be targeted.

Thinking of Zhang De, he immediately put on an inscrutable expression, looked at the masked man and said, "I don't know what orders you have now?"

This sentence is very ingenious. First of all, the masked man must have something to do with him, so Zhang Decai asked, "What orders do you have?"And there is no subject in this sentence, and if I ask myself, it will not reveal that I don't know anything now.

Sure enough, the masked man didn't notice that Zhang De was no longer the former Yin Yi, and continued: "The general has ordered you to always pay attention to Zhang Rang's movements. Recently, Taiping Road has been moving frequently. You must know something about it in Zhang's residence. If the eunuchs have any major actions against Taoist Taiping, or have collusion with Taoist Taiping, they can go directly to the old bustard Cuihua here and tell her the matter. She will contact me."

Zhang De finally confirmed that he was He Jin's undercover agent, and felt uneasy.If Zhang Rang knew about his fate, he would be dead. Thinking of how gangsters deal with undercover agents in later Hong Kong movies, Zhang De shuddered.

Although Zhang De was afraid in his heart, he didn't show it on the surface, and the masked man didn't see anything strange about Zhang Decao.

Zhang De suddenly remembered that he came with Zhang Liang, so he asked: "I don't know where the person who came with me is now. If I am not with him, will it cause suspicion?"

The masked man in black said unhurriedly: "Your second brother Zhang Liang hasn't woken up yet, this time the medicine is a little heavier. Give him some wine first, and then ask a few people to carry him When I go back, I will say that I drank too much, no one else can see it, and I probably wake up after sleeping."

Zhang De wondered why it is so easy to get drugged these days. Last time, Mr. Zhang was drugged with perspiration, and today he was also drugged with perspiration. Opportunity has to get one.

Carrying Zhang Liang back to Zhang's mansion, it was almost dark, seeing Zhang Rang's caring smile, Zhang De suddenly felt sorry.To be honest, Zhang Rang treats him really well, treating him like his own son.Not to mention many rewards, he also supported Zhang De a lot, and taught Zhang De a lot of ways to be an official.Zhang De knew that Zhang Rang was treating him well from the bottom of his heart. He already knew that Zhang Rang would not live long, and now he let Zhang De betray Zhang Rang, which made Zhang De feel a little guilty.

Let's take one step at a time. Anyway, it is doomed in history, and I can't change it. History, you should follow your own path.Zhang De comforted himself silently in his heart.

……

Some book friends questioned that there were no brothels in the Han Dynasty, because the plot of the brothel in front of it was indispensable, so when I wrote this paragraph, I checked it. It is recorded in "Warring States Policy" that Chinese brothels first appeared in the seventh century BC. Qi State, so I don’t know if there were any “large-scale” brothels in the Han Dynasty, but it is certain that there were brothels in that era.Also ask for a recommendation!
