After walking for dozens of steps, there were suddenly more people in front of us and it became more lively.
Li Yi glanced around and saw that it was a Jiangnan garden, but there were two red lanterns hanging high at the door, and dozens of red ribbons. The door was open, and bursts of women's laughter could be faintly heard inside.
On the street outside the door, the people coming and going are all gorgeously dressed and expensive people.
"Are the brothels in the south of the Yangtze River so reserved?" Li Yi suddenly remembered that there was such a brothel on the river in the capital, where the old King Liang was arrested last time.
He smiled faintly, "I hope I can catch Prince Shou here too."
At this time, Xuanwu explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this is the famous Goulan House in Jiangnan Province."
Li Yi nodded, "Business is good?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the business here is booming every day. No matter it is day or night, dignitaries and dignitaries are constantly coming and going. Every time you enter, you can't get out without ten thousand gold."
Hearing Xuanwu's words, Li Yi's eyes suddenly lit up. He was already so short of money that he went crazy. When he heard the word Wanjin, he couldn't bear it immediately.
No, this brothel must be nationalized.
Cao Qingyan frowned, "Since the business is so booming and has such the ability to attract money, the participation of the Aristocratic Family and Jianghu Alliance must be indispensable."
Xuanwu shook his head, "Sir, my subordinates are incompetent and have not yet found out the owner behind this hook-and-rail tile house."
Hearing this, Li Yi raised his eyebrows and gently closed the folding fan in his hand, "Let's go and have a look."
After saying that, he walked in and directly entered this so-called "10,000 gold at a time" brothel, no, it was a hook-and-mortar house.
It's not that Li Yi is lustful, it's really because of official business.
For the sake of official business and national affairs, did you sacrifice yourself and enter a brothel? ? ?
At the entrance, there is a courtyard inside, with carved railings and jade columns, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water. It is leisurely and elegant, and has quite a taste.
I have to say that Jiangnan is Jiangnan, and the Jiangnan gardens in the capital are a joke when compared with this place.
This is the real garden setting.
"In a deep and secluded courtyard, with half a volume of idle books and a pot of tea, I can be a casual guest for the time being and watch the flowing water send flying flowers." Li Yi blurted out.
As soon as this casual chant came out, Cao Qingyan, Xuanwu and Suo Yi were shocked.
Suo Yi and Xuanwu are better, they don't know His Majesty's past, but they are just shocked by His Majesty's literary talent. Isn't it too good?
And Cao Qingyan was shocked by Li Yi again. This was not the first time.
How can a player of His Majesty's level, who is so knowledgeable and cannot understand the Four Books and Five Classics, compose poems casually?
This casual poem immediately attracted the attention of many people.
People around him who were dressed in gorgeous clothes were looking for reputation. Seeing that Li Yi was young, they thought he was the young master of that family, so they couldn't help but talk about it.
"Handsome young man, is this your first time coming to our house?" A middle-aged woman with a coquettish appearance walked over, twisting her waist.
Li Yi nodded and smiled. This woman should be the manager of this brothel, that is, the madam of the northern brothel.
However, the southern madam is a little more reserved.
Xuanwu had a cold look on his face and stopped directly in front of Li Yi, not allowing the madam to get close.
The madam also knew the rules and was five steps away from Li Yi, "Master, how do you want to play tonight?"
Li Yi smiled faintly, raised his folding fan lightly, and a bag of silver fell into the hands of the old madam, "We are here tonight just to listen to music. Call some who can sing well, and the money will be indispensable for you."
"Master Jun, look at what you said, the girls in our family are all high-quality Yangzhou thin horses. They are all good at singing and dancing, and they are also great in bed."
The moment the madam opened the money bag, her eyes widened and she immediately put it away calmly. The smile on her face immediately became much more respectful.
There is no doubt that Li Yi's talent and good looks won the Madam's heart.
Li Yi was not polite and walked towards the inside calmly and calmly.
The dignitaries along the way looked at Li Yi and couldn't help but talk. They were all guessing which noble son from aristocratic family he was?
Sudden.
"Snapped!"
Just as he reached the courtyard, a deafening slap came out.
Immediately afterwards came the harsh and angry sound, which was really unbearable to hear.
Then, there was a woman's shrill scream, which was even more harsh and unpleasant.
In this kind of flesh and blood business, women are commodities. Who cares about the life and death of a commodity? This is nothing new.
In a place like this, it is not uncommon for customers who are in a bad mood to take it out on these women and beat them to death.
"What the hell!"
"Who do you think you are? You think you are the eldest lady of the Mi family? It's a joke. You are already here. Just put down your eldest lady airs and have fun with the uncle!"
"My elder brother is talking to you, did you fucking hear it?"
"Plop" sound.
A thin woman ran out of a room. Her steps slipped and she fell heavily to the ground.
Then, I saw two or three strong men chasing them out, with viciousness written on their faces.
At this time, it quickly attracted the people around who were watching the fun and not taking it too seriously. They all started to admire it indifferently. They were all just looking at the fun, and no one came forward to rescue him.
"Oh, who do I think she is? Isn't this the famous eldest lady of the Mi family? How did she end up in this situation? What a pity!"
"Don't come here. The Mi family has fallen to this point. It's not deserved. Old man Mi messed with people he shouldn't have messed with."
"However, the eldest lady of the Mi family is really good-looking. She must have a good figure and a good appearance. Unfortunately, she just refuses to take off her clothes. Otherwise, I would have a taste of this girl from the aristocratic family."
"You're so pretentious, you still think you're the eldest lady of the Mi family?"
"You're right, hahahaha!"
"..."
Li Yi stood aside with an extremely calm expression, while Suo Yi looked unhappy. If His Majesty hadn't been present and given no orders, he might have rescued people.
It is better to do less than to do more. This is Li Yi's consistent principle.
It’s not that he doesn’t have good intentions, it’s just that his heart is unpredictable and the world is bleak. No one can guarantee that “good people will really be rewarded.” The best thing to do is sit back and watch.
What's more, they didn't come here just for fun, they had big things to do.
If "kindness" misses the mark, it will be in trouble.
"No, don't hit me, please stop hitting me!"
"I don't want the money from singing today. I just ask the adults to spare me. I really can't, I really can't. I beg you."
The thin woman knelt on the ground, begging for mercy and kowtowing repeatedly. She was extremely miserable.
Li Yi glanced at her coldly. Although the woman was thin, her appearance was very graceful, her facial features were exquisite, her brows and eyes were delicate and beautiful, and she had the gentleness unique to women from Jiangnan water towns.
She knelt on the ground and begged, but what she got in return was frenzied beatings and insults, as well as even more ruthless contempt from the people around her.
Even so, she still held on to her clothes tightly to protect her last innocence.
These big men slowly approached, and they kept yelling, "Fuck, who do you think you are? If you don't want to taste the taste of women from aristocratic families, you are worthy of serving our brothers!"
"Let me tell you, today the Japanese uncle must break your melon and have a taste of this girl from aristocratic family."
The woman who was beaten to the ground didn't even have the strength to get up. Her body kept shaking, tears flowed down her cheeks, and she was filled with despair. She said intermittently, "No, don't... don't, please spare me."
As for the people watching the excitement around them, they were all extremely indifferent, and no one came to rescue him.
Only the helpless crying of the thin woman echoed in the front hall.
The madam sighed softly, "Poor man, so pitiful!"
Suoyi was impulsive and had already suppressed enough anger in his heart. He asked, "Has this girl offended someone? Why is she treated like this?"
The old madam had a cryptic look on her face and fearful eyes, but she just said lightly, "I was once the eldest lady of a noble family, and she was extremely noble. Unfortunately, the family offended someone who shouldn't be offended, and she was also unlucky. Overnight, she was transformed from a high-ranking eldest lady. Fallen to this."
"How brave. Who is so awesome and can take care of the family?" Suo Yi said in surprise.
The Madam coughed and when no one noticed them, she whispered, "Who else could it be? Prince Shou."
Upon hearing these three words, Li Yi's face suddenly changed slightly, and he immediately yelled, "Stop!"
Then, he stepped forward, and the people watching the excitement along the way also got out of the way.
Several big men slowly raised their heads and looked Li Yi up and down, "Boy, who the hell are you? You dare to interfere in my business."
Li Yi curled his thin lips and said slowly, "I am your father!"
