General Yu Ling

Nie Liancheng picked up the dish, walked to the wing room, pushed open the door, put the dish on the table with lowered head and eyebrows, then turned to leave, trying not to attract the attention of others.

"Hey, Liancheng!" Someone stopped her.

Nie Liancheng was taken aback, and looking back, the people sitting in the room turned out to be His Royal Highness Ji Chengran and the third prince Ji Yan'an.Nie Liancheng frowned, glanced at the closed door, and said in a low voice, "I've seen His Royal Highness...Ji Yan'an, why are you here?"

"Today is the day when the top brand in Huaiyi Square is the girl Youjin playing the piano. Everyone is here, don't you know? Also, why did you dress up as a maid in Liancheng? I just saw you standing there when I went upstairs Pour the wine, did something happen?" Ji Yanan asked puzzled.

Nie Liancheng hesitated for a while, "Well, it's a long story, anyway, I'm just helping my brother investigate the case, so don't reveal it, or it will be a waste of time."

Ji Yanan became interested, "What, what! Are you investigating the case? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Nie Liancheng quickly waved his hand, "No, no, this matter is very important, don't make trouble for me." Then he turned to look at Ji Chengran who said nothing, "Then... Your Highness, I will take my leave first. "He said and left.

Nie Liancheng turned around and went back to the kitchen, and calmly picked up the dishes again. People in the kitchen were in full swing, and they didn't notice the sneaky Nie Liancheng.

Nie Liancheng walked towards Ding Ziqi's wing, and when he reached the door, he took a deep breath to calm down all the expressions on his face, pushed the door open and entered.

At this time, Ding Ziqi was sitting on a chair, with his left arm around a beautiful woman, his right hand holding a wine glass to drink, and beside him was a prostitute playing the piano, and he was laughing loudly.Quite a feeling of reluctance to leave.

Nie Liancheng quietly walked behind him, pinched the soft flesh around his waist, lowered his head and lowered his voice, "My lord, the food is here!"

Ding Zixi shuddered from the pain, his whole body trembled, and he became much more awake.He coughed twice, put his head down and took another bite of food in a pretentious manner, and said to Nie Liancheng next to him, "Wait first, the young master has something to do later."

Then the woman in Ding Ziqi's arms said, "Yuan'er, do you have anything more fun here?"

The woman called Yuan'er tilted her head and thought carefully, "What do you want to play?"

"Hmm... but there is something exciting and comfortable. Let me tell you, ordinary things won't catch my eyes. I'm tired of playing with them." Ding Ziqi took another sip of his wine.

"Then... have you ever heard of Xian'er San?"

This should be Wu Shi San, Ding Ziqi and Nie Liancheng thought secretly together. "I've never heard of it, what is this?"

Yuan'er explained as if asking for credit, "This fairy is loose. If you mix it with water, you will feel like a fairy, refreshed, and you can see any wonderful fairyland. This is a good thing! Ordinary little girl Don't tell him!"

Ding Ziqi pretended to be slightly surprised, "There is such a good thing in this world? Where did it come from?"

"It's not easy to get Xian'er powder. It's very expensive. A small bag costs a tael of silver. Every month at the end of the month, the bustard will get some and buy them for the girls and guests in the workshop. Lord, you have to try it." Try? The little girl still has half a pack."

Ding Ziqi put down his wine glass, and said calmly, "Then show me those, how good they are."

Yuan'er summoned her personal maidservant, whispered a few words, the maidservant nodded, and hurried out the door.After a while, the so-called Xian'er powder was brought over.Yuan'er handed the half package of Xian'er to Ding Ziqi, "This is it, sir, look at it."

Ding Ziqi opened the small butter paper package, sniffed it lightly, and understood it in his heart. "Yuan'er, there are such good things, why doesn't the bustard buy them openly? Do you want to take them privately?"

"Master, this thing... the government won't allow it to be sold, and the bustard is only selling it secretly. Don't make it public."

Ding Ziqi smiled, "How can I tell you about such a good thing? Naturally, I want to enjoy it. In this way, there is a younger brother in my family who also likes this kind of thing. I want to take it back , let him open his eyes. This half bag of Xianer San Xiaoye bought it for five taels of silver, how about it?"

"Hey, is there a need to ask the little girl? Of course it's all up to you." Yuan'er smiled coquettishly.

Nie Liancheng listened to the whole process, and wondered in his heart, where did this bustard get this five-stone powder, five-stone powder is still available in some large pharmacies in the capital, and it is used as a traditional Chinese medicine Yes, and the amount of five stone powder flowing into the pharmacy is strictly controlled by the government, and such a large amount of five stone powder is never allowed to flow in.

In fact, five stone powder is not very expensive, so a small bag can cost more than [-] yuan at most.

But this cheap five-stone powder was sold at such a high price from the bustard of Huaiyifang, earning such a huge profit, who will be the beneficiary behind this?In order to deceive others, he changed his name to Xian'er San.

Nie Liancheng would not believe that a bustard in a mere brothel would have the courage and means to sell Wushi powder under the nose of the government.The manipulator behind this scene should be the real owner of Huai Yi Fang.

Ding Ziqi put the bag of five stones into his bosom, and said casually, "Why is it so lively today?"

"Master, don't you know? This is the day when sister Youjin, the number one player in our workshop, plays the piano in public. There are also many singing and dancing performances. This is a grand event once a year. That's why so many people come today. people."

Ding Ziqi has been fighting with the army all the year round, so naturally he doesn't know so many things in the capital, he pretended to be stunned, "Of course I know, but I misremembered the date and thought it was tomorrow."

"Look at what you said, doesn't the Lord like sister Youjin?"

"Well, my young master naturally likes it, but my young master likes a beauty like you even more." After speaking, he poured Yuan'er a glass of wine.

"Oh, sir, you know how to coax little girls."

Nie Liancheng secretly rolled her eyes, why didn't she realize that Ding Ziqi was so good at flirting with girls before.

In fact, Ding Ziqi is currently sitting on pins and needles. While thinking about doing all the tricks, he is afraid of showing his feet and arousing suspicion, and at the same time enduring the staring eyes of Nie Liancheng. It is really a dilemma.

If Nie Liancheng knew what he was thinking at the moment, he would definitely spit at him for being affectionate.

Yuan'er put up the wooden window thoughtfully, and this wing room happened to be able to clearly see the grand occasion downstairs.

In the center of the downstairs hall, there is a large solid wood table with delicate engraved gold patterns. This is the famous Liuhua Terrace in Huai Yi Fang.

It is also the place where Huaiyifang's top performers of all dynasties perform on stage, and it is also used in grand festivals, and it is generally not used on weekdays.The prostitutes who have performed on the upper flower stage will show off in the square for a long time.It has become a proof of identity.

A group of brocade-clad and jade-robed young masters gathered around the stage, and they shouted loudly, wanting to call Miss Youjin to come out.

After a while, a dignified and slim woman came up, and she said loudly, "Please be quiet, everyone." The noise from the audience gradually became quieter. "Today is the day for the public performance of the girls in Huai Yi Fang. Please stay calm and wait for the beauty. And today is also the day when the five Lianfen in our workshop will be transformed into dew."

Everyone in the audience boiled instantly.

Nie Liancheng frowned, with disgust in his eyes.

Although the words sound good, Lianfen actually refers to the women whose status is second only to the number one in the brothel, and Hualu means the first virginity of these Lianfens, auction competition, the highest bidder wins.In the brothel, except for the top-ranked women and the women who have been hired down, everyone else has to receive customers, no matter if you are a geisha or some kind of fairy beauty.

Therefore, all the girls in the brothel want to be the top card if they sharpen their heads, or find a gold master to cover themselves.

Although Nie Liancheng hated this kind of thing, there was nothing she could do. This kind of thing couldn't be reversed by herself.

The hostess clapped her hands on the stage, and a row of gorgeous beauties came onto the stage. They were dressed in long-sleeved dance dresses, and they were slender and lined up.When the silk and bamboo music played next to them, they began to dance.

The dancers form a flower shape and lie back with their sleeves waved.Then a yellow-clothed woman suddenly appeared among them. This yellow-clothed woman is Que Ling, one of the five Lianfens. She has a pretty appearance, with round bright moon eyes and flowing brows, like a small bird in the mountains. , lively and attractive.Has been very sought after.

Many young masters have already thrown banknotes onto the stage, and the Huaiyi Square was full of drunkenness and dreaminess.

Nie Liancheng had already inquired about the news, so he didn't bother to stay in Huaiyifang anymore.After notifying Ding Ziqi, he walked out, ready to leave here.
