Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.
Chapter 100 Blackmail
Luo Hong looked around on the street. It was getting late and curfew was about to start. He quickened his pace and suddenly heard a bustling noise coming from a restaurant.
Judging from the name "Yunzhou Hualou", this should be a brothel. I thought that my princess would definitely not come to such places.
But curiosity made him look inside, and the drinkers inside seemed to be looking towards the second floor.
He followed the other drinkers' gazes up to the second floor, feeling both delighted and shocked: "Oh my goodness, I'm finally saving my head! This little bastard was actually fighting in a brothel."
So he gripped the sword at his waist and rushed into the brothel.
"Stop!" Luo Hong rushed to the second floor at a rapid speed and shouted.
"Luo Hong!" The handsome young man stopped fighting and ran towards Luo Hong with a look of grievance on his face.
After a few rounds, she was already sweating profusely, her little face flushed, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Luo Hong kowtowed and apologized: "I am guilty of death! I have caused you so much suffering! I will protect you and wait until I return to Jinzhou to face the prince and die!"
The handsome young man's face, as rosy as a rose, flushed crimson with shame and anger. His eyebrows raised as he said coquettishly, "Wow... Those perverts are so rude! They dare to flirt with me in broad daylight. They are truly despicable! Kill them quickly, and father will surely spare your life!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Hong, who was standing by, widened his eyes with a look of astonishment on his face, and exclaimed, "Ah?! Such a lawless thing actually happened. Don't be afraid, miss. I will take the thief's head right away and clear your name!" After that, he raised his knife and rushed forward.
At this moment, Mu Tou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly cried out as if waking up from a dream: "Miss? She...she is actually a woman!" He was obviously shocked by the sudden truth.
Just when the situation was about to get out of control, Zhang Jingwei, who was standing in the crowd, shouted loudly: "Everyone calm down, don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive!" As he spoke, he waved his hands to signal everyone to stay calm.
Luo Hong stared at the person in front of him with an angry face and said sternly: "Who are you? How dare you act so rashly here!" His eyes were wide open, as if they could spit out fire.
The man standing opposite was not in a hurry. He bowed slightly and said, "My name is Zhang Jingwei, and I am the son-in-law of Lord Beihou. The person next to me is my bodyguard." As he spoke, he pointed to the wood next to him.
Upon hearing this, Luo Hong frowned even more tightly and shouted, "Why are you trying to disrespect my young lady? If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, don't even think about leaving this place!"
Zhang Jingwei quickly waved his hands in denial, "No, absolutely not! This is a complete misunderstanding. As the saying goes, ignorance is innocent. We really didn't know this young man was a woman disguised as a man! I hope you can see clearly."
The pretty young man finally couldn't contain his anger and shouted in a delicate voice: "Stop talking nonsense here! Luo Hong, I don't want to see these people anymore!" Her eyebrows were raised, her face was full of anger, and she looked particularly angry.
Luo Hong hesitated for a moment with an awkward expression on his face, and finally uttered only one word: "This..."
Zhang Jingwei, standing nearby, saw this and stepped forward, saying sternly, "General Luo, our Celestial Empire has clear regulations. If a general wishes to enter a city, he must report to the city's garrison commander. And you've actually sneaked into the city with this young lady. This is probably a violation of military regulations!"
Hearing this, Luo Hong frowned slightly and quickly explained, "Master Zhang, you may not know that the Northern Marquis and I have a very close personal relationship. I originally came to visit him this day, but unfortunately, the Northern Marquis was suffering from an old illness at the time and we were unable to meet."
Zhang Jingwei pondered for a moment, then lowered his voice and advised Luo Hong, "Even so, General, you should still take the young lady back home to rest as soon as possible. After all, the situation here is special, and there are so many people with gossip. If some bad news gets out by accident, it will ruin the young lady's reputation. That would be terrible."
Luo Hong frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "...Forget it, thank you for the reminder!" His eyes slowly swept over the person in front of him. It seemed that he still felt a little unwilling in his heart, but finally decided not to care about it.
Then, Luo Hong turned around and whispered to the pretty woman, "Let's go, Miss, let's go find Wang Changshi. They are also looking for you outside." His words were full of concern and respect.
However, the pretty young man did not buy it and shouted coquettishly: "Luo Hong, why did you leave like this? Shouldn't we teach these ignorant guys a lesson?" She put her hands on her hips and glared at those troublemakers angrily, as if she was unwilling to give up.
Luo Hong approached nervously, lowering his voice and speaking anxiously, "Miss, this is a brothel! You are a princess of noble status. If this matter gets out, what will happen? Where will the prince's face be?"
The handsome young man snorted coldly, "Hmph, I don't care about that! How dare they bully me like this? I will never let this go so easily!"
The old procuress put her hands on her hips, her eyes wide open, and shouted at the people in front of her: "Hmph! You ignorant fellows, do you really think this is a place where anyone can come in and out as they please? Come as you please and leave as you please? That's just wishful thinking!" Her powdered face looked a little hideous because of anger.
Then, the madam stretched out her hand, pointed at them viciously, and shouted, "Don't even think about getting away so easily! Since you've angered me, you must compensate me! Otherwise, no one will be able to leave this door today!"
At this time, Luo Hong in the crowd stepped forward and asked expressionlessly, "How much do you want?" His voice was low and calm, but his eyes revealed a subtle hint of boredom.
Hearing this, the madam's eyes rolled and she spoke loudly, "My brothel is the most famous restaurant in Yunzhou! Every day, dignitaries and wealthy children come and go. You have wasted so much of my precious time and business here. Don't even think about letting this go without a hundred or eighty taels of silver!" After saying this, she raised her chin complacently, as if she was sure that the other party would pay obediently.
Luo Hong's face darkened and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, we'll go back and get the money!" He felt a little annoyed, but also seemed helpless.
The madam smiled coldly, a sly look flashing in her eyes as she said in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, you're such a joke! My little shop has its rules. If you want to buy on credit, you have to give me one leg first. If you can't pay me by then, hmm, I'll give you the other leg!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Hong was so angry that he trembled all over. He pointed at the madam and shouted, "You! How dare you be so arrogant and domineering!"
The madam put her hands on her hips, took a step forward, approached Luo Hong, and said viciously: "Stop talking nonsense! There are only two choices in front of you now. One is to pay the money obediently, and the other is to let my people break your legs. It's your choice!" After she finished speaking, the burly men behind her rubbed their hands, eager to try.
At this moment, Wang Lian brought a group of people to the brothel. For a moment, the entire brothel was surrounded by officials, all the drinkers were controlled, and even Lu Hui was present in person.
The handsome young man shouted loudly: "Master Wang!"
Wang Lian smiled and told Luo Hong, "General Luo, please take her back to the inn first."
At this moment, the madam beside him came up to him with a flattering look on her face and said hurriedly, "Oh, Master Lu, you are finally here. You must make the decision for me!"
Meanwhile, Grand Master Lu had a dignified expression on his face. He waved his hand and sternly shouted, "Come here, bring this madam away to me. Also, take Zhang Jingwei and the others away! Don't let any of them go!"
At his command, a group of ferocious officers rushed forward and took the madam and others away without any explanation.
