(I have created a fan group, Tomato Fan Group. You can join after following it. If you can’t see it, you can exit and re-enter to see it.)
"My lord, haven't you always wanted to buy Yirenju?" Wang Xuance reminded
"Yeah, I didn't think of that. It would be a pity that Fifth Brother's property would be confiscated after he was defeated.
No, I have to think of a way. "Li Shen also has a headache. It's definitely not possible to buy it directly at this time. Everyone has rebelled. Isn't that just capitalizing on the enemy?
As for asking Li Shimin? It is better to capitalize on the enemy. His butler would definitely kill him with a knife, and he would bleed profusely. How to do it?
"Xuance, fifth brother rebels, what will happen to Yirenju then?" Li Shen asked Wang Xuance
"Your Majesty, I estimate that the news will come here today or tomorrow. It may even have reached the palace now.
At that time, Yirenju will definitely be sealed, and the people inside will be taken away by the Ministry of Punishment and severely tortured. In the end, I guess they will all be sent to Jiaofangsi. Jiaofangsi is the entertainment venue of the official family.
"Let's go back to the city."
Li Shen finally thought of a better way, which was to rob. There is no faster and more effective way than this.
After returning to Chang'an, Li Shen went straight to Yi Renju in Pingkangfang with five hundred guards. At this time, Yirenju had not received news of their master's rebellion.
Although it was broad daylight, there were still some businessmen looking for fun.
"Get out of the way, everyone, don't move." At this moment, a group of armed guards rushed in and controlled everyone and the door.
The madam heard the noise and hurriedly came down from the second floor.
"Ouch~~~General, why is this happening? Someone has misunderstood."
"There is no misunderstanding. I just want Yi Renju." The crowd parted and Li Shen walked in.
"Oh, Your Highness Prince Ji, this scene must be too big for you. Our master said he doesn't want to sell Yi Renju right now." The old bustard immediately changed his smile when he saw it was Li Shen.
"Hmph, I have increased the price many times, but Fifth Brother didn't even give me face. Am I, a prince, so worthless? I really don't know how to praise him.
Today I will tell you that this Yirenju belongs to our Prince Ji’s Mansion. If you have anything to do, please ask King Qi to come and talk to me. "Li Shen interprets the bad guy's face vividly and plays the true role of the villain. Li You will die anyway when he comes back.
"This... Your Highness King Ji, this is Chang'an City, under the emperor's feet. You are robbing King Qi's property in broad daylight. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the king's law?" The old bustard did not expect that Li Shen would dare to rob.
Li Shen suddenly thought of the most classic lines in later generations and laughed loudly.
"Hahahaha, Wang Fa? This king of Chang'an City is Wang Fa. I never give money to eat in the city, let alone you, a poor person.
Come on, please drive all the guests out. This Yiren residence has been sealed and no one is allowed to enter or exit. The escaper breaks his legs. "
"yes"
There was no need for guards to chase people away. After hearing Li Shen's words, these businessmen who came to have fun disappeared instantly, for fear of getting into trouble if they walked too slowly.
"Go and call Ruyan Xiaodu here, make tea for me and have a chat." Li Shen said and walked directly to the second floor.
The madam had no choice but to follow him up to the second floor to find the two top names.
"Aunt Yun, what's going on?" Liu Ruyan also heard the noise downstairs and saw the madam and asked.
"Hey~~ Ruyan, King Ji sent his guards to seal Yirenju and wants to take it as his own. You and Xiaoxiao go and wait for you. I'll think of a way to see if I can send someone out to inform King Qi." In fact, the old bustard Also very scared.
In feudal society, if a prince was unhappy and killed her, it would not matter.
"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, we are here. Then I will not disturb the prince's pleasure." After saying this, the madam wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute before we leave. I have something to say." Li Shen called to the madam.
After hearing this, the madam turned around and asked, "I wonder if your highness has any other instructions."
"I won't hide anything from you. You will all know about this soon. Your master has rebelled in Qizhou. The news will reach Chang'an tomorrow at the latest. I don't need to say more about what will happen to you Yirenju by then. "
"What?" Not only the face of the madam changed drastically, but also the two top names Liu Ruyan and Su Xiaoxiao turned pale.
Rebellion is a major crime of decapitation. Although they did not participate in it, those who have anything to do with rebellion in this era will not end well. I don’t need to tell you any evidence.
Li Shen was very satisfied when he saw the frightened expressions of the three people, and then continued calmly: "So, I plan to save your lives. From now on, this place will belong to Prince Ji's Mansion, and it will be said that Prince Qi sold it to me earlier. Your Majesty, I think you should understand what I mean."
"I understand, understand, this Yirenju was sold to His Highness Prince Ji by King Qi before. I would like to thank King Ji for saving his life. Thank you to King Ji." The old bustard immediately knelt down to thank Li Shen.
"Okay, get up, how many girls are you here?"
"Back to your lord, there are 143 people in total."
"So many people? Why didn't I see it?" Li Shen looked around
"Your Majesty, there are only thirty people in Yirenju here. We have many paintings below. The thirty people in Yirenju are..." The old bustard began to explain the structure of Yirenju to Li Shen.
After listening, Li Shen also had a general understanding. It turned out that there were several types of brothels. Yirenju is a high-end entertainment venue. Among the thirty people inside, the first ten are the top ones, and the next twenty are considered the top ones. And the rest are real prostitutes. To have fun with guests.
Li Shen's understanding is simply divided into three levels: the top ten are performing arts but not selling themselves, and the next twenty people are performing performing arts and occasionally selling themselves. The other people painting boats below are all prostitutes.
It was also the first time that Li Shen knew that a brothel and a brothel were not the same thing. These top ten are actually famous prostitutes packaged by Yirenju, mainly to seduce some talented people, officials' children, princes and nobles for consumption. The main source of income is rewards.
The next twenty are actually considered famous prostitutes, proficient in poetry, music, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. They usually show up to deal with the guests.
The top one looks like Su Xiaoxiao and Liu Ruyan. This is not something you can just see if you want to. It can be said that they are more noble than ordinary ladies.
You can't see that kind of thing even if you have money. Not only do you have to be rich, but you also have to be talented and powerful. Only then can you have the opportunity to meet and talk with one of them, but you can't do anything, just have a meal.
"This way we will be closed down today. Let's wait until everything is over. Let everyone who is painting the boats below also go to Yirenju to squeeze in.
Don't worry about what happened outside. Everyone should know the news by tomorrow at the latest. I will send guards to guard outside. You don’t have to be afraid, you know. I'll make plans after it's over. "Li Shen simply told the madam a few words.
After that, Li Shen was no longer in the mood to play with the two oirans. The main reason is that it is more uncomfortable to be able to see but not use it.
Li Shen left five hundred guards behind and took the others back to the palace. He wanted to think about what else he could gain from this.
