The cold dagger was pressed against his neck. Jiang Xuan was shocked and did not dare to move at all.
Although there was no light, there was moonlight. Under the moonlight, the old cat Deng and the prostitute were dressed in neat clothes, as if they had been waiting for a long time. It seemed that they had fallen into someone else's trap!
"Kneel down, everyone!"
Deng Laomao and Hongchen Girl were so skilled that the thieves were no match for them. They were quickly captured and tied with ropes and knelt on the ground.
"Boy, tell me the truth, who asked you to come?"
Only then did Deng Laomao light an oil lamp. Under the oil lamp, his withered face was extremely frightening. At a glance, it was obvious that he was not a kind person. His open mouth and yellow teeth were extremely disgusting.
Although Jiang Xuan was afraid, he gritted his teeth and said not a word.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that boy has a lot of backbone!"
Deng Laomao laughed.
The prostitute smelled of powder, and looked at her with a flirtatious smile: "Little brother, I advise you to be more sensible. People who fall into the hands of this old cat usually don't end well. If you tell them earlier, you can avoid the pain of the skin and flesh, right? Oh, he's quite a young boy..."
The scarlet nails brushed across Jiang Xuan's face.
Jiang Xuan was so frightened that he trembled all over, closed his eyes tightly, and refused to say a word.
"Okay, okay, if you don't tell me, then I'll ask your brothers!"
Deng Laomao casually grabbed a beggar and threw it to the ground. The little thief was so frightened that he cried loudly. Deng Laomao stepped on his palm hard, and there was a clicking sound and screams, making him cry in this night. It makes people's hair stand on end.
"Tell me, who sent you here!"
Unexpectedly, this little beggar took Jiang Xuan's money and was very tight-lipped. These children were carefully selected by Jiang Xuan. They are not bad-natured and have quite the habit of being in the world. They are very smart and know what to say today. It's said that it's all a matter of death, but even when dying, I don't want to lose my integrity.
"Oh, that's not bad!"
Deng Laomao's eyes flickered when he saw it, and he said with a thoughtful smile: "Uncle, I am in a good mood, but I have changed my mind. What's the use of following this brat? You recruit him truthfully, and I will take you to eat and drink in the future!"
These words were not entirely coaxing. He did have such thoughts. The seven or eight little thieves in front of him were all good young people jumping up and down.
"Who wants to follow you, an old thief!"
Jiang Xuan shouted angrily.
Deng Laomao was furious and waved his dagger. Jiang Xuan cried out sadly in his heart, knowing that he could no longer escape today. What is this, dying before leaving the army? I hope the young master can find out so that he can avenge himself.
Then the dagger fell on Jiang Xuan's neck.
Whoosh!
A dagger flew over from nowhere, knocking the dagger down.
"who is it?"
Deng Laomao and Hongchen Nu were shocked at the same time.
"If you touch my little brother, why don't you tell me?"
Qin Changfeng's voice sounded in the dark night.
"Brother Qin!"
Jiang Xuan shouted in surprise.
Qin Changfeng was born, which is not bad. He originally practiced the moves of big opening and closing, and since he appeared here, he has his own control. First, he pounced on the old cat Deng and removed the oil lamp from his hand in two strokes. The next moment, he was behind the old cat Deng and punched out, causing the latter to spit out a mouthful of blood. At this time, the red dust girl came with a scolding sound. Qin Changfeng snorted coldly and turned his backhand to block the enemy. The two of them exchanged palms, and the red dust girl flew backwards three steps. But this also eased the pressure on Deng Laomao.
Seeing that he was outnumbered, he shouted: "Let's go!"
They couldn't fight, but at least they could escape. The two of them broke out of the window hand in hand and escaped.
"Brother Qin, why don't you go after them!"
Jiang Xuan said anxiously.
Qin Changfeng sneered: "How can the people of the Baiya Army be so easy to chase? You are so brave. If the young master hadn't asked me to take care of you, I'm afraid you would have died here today!"
Jiang Xuan did not dare to refute, but his heart felt very warm. Usually, he and Qin Changfeng were very difficult to deal with, because he regarded Qin Changfeng as his imaginary enemy. He thought that one day, he would eventually take charge of the bank. The state soldiers must compete with Qin Changfeng. However, if Qin Changfeng hadn't arrived today, he might have died here. For a moment, he didn't know what to say to Qin Changfeng, and his mood was complicated.
Qin Changfeng untied the rope for him, but he didn't know what he was thinking. He smiled and said, "Didn't Master tell you? A man should be tolerant! At such a young age, you can't tolerate people like this. How can it be accomplished?"
Jiang Xuan felt ashamed and apologized sincerely.
Qin Changfeng saw that these little thieves, although they came from rough backgrounds, were quite moral in the world, and they were young and could be molded, so he said: "From today on, you will follow Jiang Xuan and do your best, but when you walk in the world, How can you not have the power to restrain a chicken? Then you and Jiang Xuan will practice martial arts with me!"
All the boys were overjoyed.
As a beggar in troubled times, it is difficult to keep a full stomach. If not forced by life, who would be willing to be a rooster and a dog robber? If there is a place to live, I am willing to die for the one who knows me!
at night.
When Liu Zheng heard Qin Changfeng's report, he couldn't help but smile: "Is this Jiang Xuan really surrendering?"
Qin Changfeng laughed loudly: "You have rested early, and you will practice martial arts with me early tomorrow morning!"
Liu Zheng nodded after hearing this. Raising a young lady is indeed a complicated matter...
"Sir, what about Mr. Deng?"
Qin Changfeng's eyes flashed.
Liu Zheng shook his head: "Once the matter is investigated here, let's forget about it. It is not appropriate for us to be enemies of the Baiya Army for the time being."
After checking the node of Deng Laomao, the facts are actually already revealed. Although Liu Zheng has been extremely busy these days, he is still thinking about this matter in his mind. The queen came back to visit relatives and wanted to take control of the military power in Liangzhou, but the governor Chen Ping was the prince's servant... She naturally didn't want Liangzhou, her "rear area", to be constrained by others. Therefore, the queen wanted to join forces with the Baiya Army to completely capture Chen Ping.
But what about Chen Ping?
As a classmate of the current prince, he naturally does not want to let the military power fall aside.
This year’s wedding is going to look good...
The key point is that for Liu Zheng, whoever wins between these two forces will not be a good thing. If he wants to develop and have plans in Liangzhou, then Liangzhou cannot be monolithic! The Zheng family and the Baiya Army can't control Liangzhou, and the prefect can't do it without the constraints of the Baiya Army!
In that case, no matter who wins, he will have to deal with his Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce!
It would be fine if the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce had been developing in a low-key manner and would not attract attention. But Liu Zheng's oiran meeting this time is bound to make the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce famous. Without fame, he can't make money!
What a headache!
Liu Zheng has been having all kinds of headaches these past few days. Among them are intrigues, complex situations, and conflicts. He must be able to handle them steadily.
All in all, he wants to have both sides in Liangzhou this time! He also had to go through the Queen's side to get the title of Marquis of the State without offending Chen Ping. He must not take any side, so that he can continue to return to his humble development in Yinzhou and plan for the future.
never mind!
If a person dies, a bird will look up to the sky, and he will not die for tens of thousands of years!
Liu Zheng felt that his brain was a bit exhausted.
When he got up the next day, Liu Zheng came to Fengming Tower, where Zheng Yueru appeared early.
Seeing Liu Zheng coming, Zheng Yueru looked happy: "Brother Liu, our promotion this time...it's true, there are many people from all around Liangzhou. This year's oiran party is probably the most lively one of the year. !”
Thanks to Liu Zheng's leaflet offensive and the free drinking at "Drunken Yinzhou", almost all the people in the thirty states and counties in Liangzhou came out in full force whenever they had time. There are still three days before the Oiran Festival, and all the major inns and restaurants in Liangzhou are already full of people.
"Is it?"
Liu Zheng chuckled.
No wonder there are more and more people on the streets of Liangzhou these days.
Zheng Yueru smiled and said: "According to Brother Liu's instructions, when we were sent to various inns and restaurants with Zuiyinzhou, their beds, tables and chairs all had our trademark! And it didn't cost a penny!"
As she spoke, she laughed happily.
Liu Zheng couldn't laugh or cry.
In the past, when Zheng Yueru didn't understand the concept of "advertising", she would be heartbroken if she spent an extra tael of money. Now that she has seen the charm of this advertisement, she is willing to spend more money. In just the past few days, the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce's Zui Yinzhou, Shenxian Brewing, Bai Yujing, as well as lipsticks and creams, not to mention those supplied to the Oiran Association, were almost sold out by people coming and going! Then coupled with Liu Zheng's packaging level strategy, no matter whether they are rich people, young men, or ordinary people, they all become ready to take action.
The Yinzhou workshop is working overtime and is still rushing to produce. The horse team responsible for transportation,
This is the role of advertising, this is the charm of advertising!
At this time, the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce's trademarks are everywhere in Liangzhou City, and people are about to be brainwashed.
"Hurry up, sisters, are you ready?"
"Tonight's first dress-up rehearsal is about to begin! Dress up nicely for me!"
At this moment, the madam from Fengming Tower ran in.
Rehearsal, that is, dress rehearsal. Dress up to rehearse, that is, dress up and rehearse.
This time the oiran party will be attended by the Queen in person. Needless to say, there must be no flaws in the formations and performances.
"Should we start?"
Zheng Yueru was extremely excited, and then ordered her servants to distribute the soap that had been prepared long ago. She knew that according to Liu Zheng's plan, as the dress rehearsal began, the promotion of soaps and perfumes would officially begin...
Whether you can make back all the 100,000 taels of silver invested depends on the results of these few performances.
According to the plan of the two people, the one hundred thousand taels of silver invested earlier were all for nothing...the real big move was all spent on soap and perfume.
"Miss, what is this?"
"Wow, it smells delicious!"
The soaps were distributed one by one to the courtesans in Fengming Tower. Although it is not crystal clear, it looks very pleasant. Several courtesans held it in their hands and couldn't put it down. This time in Fengming Tower, there were more than a dozen oirans participating in the oiran meeting. Of course, only Shen Manqing had the highest voice for winning the title.
"For bathing, upgraded version of pig pancreas!"
Zheng Yueru explained with a smile: "Sisters, go take a shower first, then get dressed up. Today, you are responsible for carrying me all the way to the rehearsal site with fragrance!"
"Yes! Miss!"
Everyone took the order and left one after another.
Zheng Yueru and Liu Zheng looked at each other, both of them were looking forward to the first release of this soap.
