Chapter 175: If he holds Shang Fangjian in the future
After Liu Mingzhi dusted himself off, he looked up and found a pretty girl blinking at him curiously.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the little girl with curiosity and confusion and asked: "Little sister, my brother has a family. If you stare at my brother like this, you can only be a concubine in the future."
The little girl shrank her head timidly, then turned around suddenly, took out a piece of rice paper from her arms, looked at it for a few times, then rolled it up again and stuffed it into her sleeve. The portrait of Young Master Liu was clearly painted on the rice paper scroll.
The little girl timidly looked at Liu Mingzhi who was scaring her: "Mr. Liu, my servant is Ruyi. On the order of the young lady, I came here specifically to ask for a brief explanation from the young master."
"As one wishes?"
The little girl nodded obediently: "Yes, yes, I am just as you wish."
Liu Mingzhi frowned and looked at the deserted gate of Gongyuan. He looked cautiously at Ruyi, the little girl who suddenly appeared to stop him: "I don't seem to know your young lady, right?"
"Returning to the young master, the young lady said that as long as you tell the young master her surname is Ling, the young master will naturally know who she is and will go and talk about it."
Liu Mingzhi relaxed and looked straight at Ruyi: "Are you from Penglai Pavilion?"
Ruyi blurted out with a surprised look on her face: "How did Young Master Liu know?"
Liu Mingzhi shook his head in a funny way. Su Weier sent such an innocent little girl to find him, and he was not afraid that she would be abducted first before she was found. With such a confused temperament, it was difficult not to suffer a loss.
"Come on, lead the way."
"Yes, sir, please come here. The carriage is parked on the street outside Gongyuan. The governor's office has a ban. No movement that disturbs the scholar's meditation inside or outside Gongyuan is allowed. Otherwise, he will be taken to the Yamen to await trial and conviction. Please take a few more steps, sir." ”
Liu Mingzhi was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that there was such a rule. Isn't this the so-called prohibition of blowing the whistle during the college entrance examination?
The carriage drove smoothly on the street, heading towards Penglai Tower. Liu Mingzhi sat in the carriage to recuperate, thinking about how to greet Su Weier when he saw Su Weier. The little girl carefully played with cakes in front of Liu Mingzhi. The cautious appearance is distressing.
Inadvertently, Liu Mingzhi saw two whip marks on Ruyi báinèn's arms. He narrowed his eyes. Ruyi must have been a newcomer who had just been trained by Penglai Tower. Otherwise, he would not be so timid and ignorant of flattery. The other women who have seen the romantic field have already begun to seduce Liu Mingzhi to pay attention to him. This is a good opportunity to leave the brothel. Even if he is a concubine, it is better than staying in a brothel with a pair of beautiful arms and thousands of people sleeping on him.
Liu Mingzhi has also heard about the rules that brothels use to educate new girls. They range from beatings and scolding to threats. Some women can't bear the humiliation and hang themselves. However, the brothel is still open in full swing. The rules are like this, and no one can There's nothing you can do about it, that's how it is sometimes.
Although Liu Mingzhi didn't think he was a bad person, he never thought he was a bad person. If he couldn't control it, he could only pretend not to see it despite his conscience.
He took out a piece of silver from his pocket and put it on the table: "Take it to buy two sets of clothes. I can only help you so much." Since what happened to Old Man An, Liu Mingzhi didn't know when he started going out. Putting a few ingots of silver into the fort may mean you gain wisdom from every hardship.
The little girl Ruyi looked at the silver ingot on the table with tears in her eyes. She was moved but did not dare to move it. This was only ten taels of silver. You must know that after his parents died, he was sold to a brothel by a trafficker and the old madam gave the trafficker only five taels of silver. , if I had these five taels of silver in the first place, why would I end up like this?
"Take it, you can use it in an emergency."
Ruyi put the silver ingot into her waist with red eyes: "Thank you Mr. Liu, you are such a good person."
"A good person? Maybe." Liu Mingzhi sighed melancholy.
The swaying carriage stopped, and the coachman drove the carriage to the door of Penglai Tower. When Liu Mingzhi was led into Penglai Tower by Ruyi, he did not notice that the coachman stared at Ruyi's figure with a trace of greed.
Perhaps it was because he drank too much of Mrs. Liu's ginseng soup when he went out in the morning. Liu Mingzhi felt something coming up and asked where the hut of Ruyi Brothel was.
Sometimes you must not bet. Sometimes you think that just letting go of water might bring Xiang Lai out. After taking care of the things in his stomach, Young Master Liu walked into the hall of Penglai Building calmly.
There was a loud noise, a woman with heavy rouge and gouache on her face waved a handkerchief with an unlucky look, and several servants in gray robes walked out from the backyard of Penglai Building carrying a sack.
The old woman looked at the sack with disgust, and there were still a few traces of bright red blood on it: "Old rule, find a place to bury it, leaving it in the building is bad luck. This dead girl really wants money rather than her life, isn't it just ten taels? Money? It would be nice to hand it over obediently, but is it worth risking your life? What kind of bullshit young master gave it to her? If she really had such a generous young master, he would have taken her back as a concubine long ago, and she could be reduced to this The fate of waiting in a brothel to pick up clients."
"Yes, Mother Jiang."
Some of the guests had long been accustomed to the affairs of the brothel and turned a blind eye to flirt with the woman in their arms.
Mother Jiang held up the silver ingot in her hand, looked at it, and happily stuffed it into her arms without any sign of disgust.
Liu Mingzhi's eyes widened, staring closely at the silver ingots that Mother Jiang stuffed into her arms, and then with slightly bloodshot eyes, he looked at the sacks carried by several servants and said coldly: "Stop and open the sacks. "
Jiang's mother turned around in surprise when she heard Liu Mingzhi's voice, and then she smiled and leaned closer: "Hey, whose son is this? Do you want me to help you introduce some girls?"
Although Liu Mingzhi is famous, he has rarely been to Penglai Tower, and Mother Jiang did not recognize his identity.
Liu Mingzhi pushed Mother Jiang away with a cold expression: "I told you to open the sack. I don't want to say it a third time."
Mother Jiang also noticed something was wrong in Liu Mingzhi's tone, and his expression was no longer so attentive: "Master, this is Penglai Building, a place linked to the Jiaofang Division. Some things are better left under control."
For the first time, Liu Mingzhi openly revealed his identity: "Young Master Liu Mingzhi, Liu of the Liu Mansion, Liu of the Liu Family of Jinling, Liu Zhi'an, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, is my father, Qi Run, the governor of Jinling, is my father-in-law, and the Minister of War is my uncle. , King Huainan is my best friend, but I am not very talented, so the emperor ordered Tian to be the crown prince’s companion, is this status enough?”
Mother Jiang looked at Liu Mingzhi with her mouth open in disbelief and said tremblingly: "Young Master Liu... I am... blind. I didn't recognize you."
"Open the sack!"
"Yes, yes...you guys haven't opened the sack yet."
Several servants trembled and opened the sack. Ruyi had blood stains on the corners of his mouth. He looked at the world with wide eyes and refused to close his eyes. His black hair was messy and there were countless blood stains on his body.
Liu Mingzhi half-crouched to sort out the remains of Ruyi, a naive little girl he had just met. Liu Mingzhi grabbed Ruyi's right hand, where there were still traces of silver that had not dissipated, and it had sunk deeply into the palm of his hand.
"Silly girl, you lost your life for ten taels of silver. It's not worth it. It was me who hurt you! I'm sorry for you!" Liu Mingzhi underestimated the dangers of this world. Ruyi, a simple girl, could not hold ten taels of silver in her hand. It is different from a child walking around the street with a million.
The world is not as bad as you think. There are good people, like An Gouer, An Xin, and Old Man An. The world is also not as good as you think. There are bad people, like Mother Jiang, who sacrificed her life for ten taels of silver.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Liu is right. This damn girl is too stubborn and ignorant. Isn't it just ten taels of silver?"
Liu Mingzhi took out five hundred taels of silver notes from his arms and put them on the lapel of Ruyi's clothes. He looked coldly at the grey-robed thugs with blood on their hands: "These five hundred taels of silver and two hundred taels of silver will bury her with dignity, and there will be no inscription on the tombstone." Young Master, the coffin must be the best in the city. The remaining three hundred taels should be divided equally between the three of you. Wrap her in mourning and kneel for three days and three nights. Can you do it?"
The thugs were dumbfounded by the windfall and nodded repeatedly: "Thank you Mr. Liu, I can kneel down for seven days, not just three days."
"If you're buried well, remember to inform me at Liu Mansion. I'm going to propose a toast."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Several people carried Ruyi's body out of Penglai Tower. Mother Jiang licked her face again and tried to get closer.
A figure flew across the sky and hit the screen directly before fading. Liu Mingzhi never thought that he was so strong that he could kick people up, but could this save Ruyi's life?
Mother Jiang's face was pale and she collapsed on the ground. Liu Mingzhi grabbed her hair and slapped her hard from side to side: "You can abide by the rules of the brothel. The contract is in your hands and you can do whatever you want. But you can do whatever you want with my money." You dare to be greedy! You are the one who is tired of living! Be careful and you will lose your life!"
"Spare... your life..."
"You are guilty of murder. I can spare you today, but you have to die. I have made a decision first. If I hold Shang Fang Sword and kill the horse sword in the future, I will personally take your head to pay tribute to Ruyi's spirit in heaven."
