Although Hongqiaofang is named "Fang", it is actually only located in a part of Nanshi's "Dongqu Land". The so-called "Dongqu" can be understood as "Eastern District", and its area is only six times that of Nanshi. One, it is separated from the Nanshi Market by the Neiqu Gate. When the Nan Market is open during the day, the Neiqu Gate is open, allowing unobstructed traffic. After the night curfew, the Nanshi market is closed, the Neiqu Gate is closed, and Hongqiao Square becomes We have built an independent inner square, and the street lights are as bright as day, making the street sparkling. However, there are only a few people on the road, because the purpose of all the guests who come here at night is not to wander on the street, but to visit Hongqiao Square. A famous brothel.
The thirty-six most famous brothels in the Eastern Capital are all located here. Looking around, there is no "red-sleeved move in the city" scene that Lin Sui'an was so looking forward to. These brothels are all large houses that come in and out frequently. Black eaves and Stanley pillars, low-key and solid rammed earth exterior walls, and house numbers such as "Hao Liujia", "Jia Qijia", "Zhang Sanjia" and "Shui Wujia" are hung on the door.
Fan Ba's family is the leader in this industry. Although the famous prostitute Fan Ba Niang is over 20 years old, she is very charming and talented, and is highly praised by literati and children of aristocratic families. Fan Bajia's "Red Sleeves Add Fragrance and Flowing Water Feast" is even more unique in the eastern capital. It can be eaten from dusk on the first day to sunset on the second day, a full twelve hours, 108 main dishes and 72 side dishes. The side dishes are never the same. Every other hour, prostitutes from the Fan Ba family will lead a team to present performances of various styles. It can be said to be a feast with "color, flavor, form and meaning".
Enter Dongqu from Neifang Gate, and go all the way east to the end of the alley where you will find Fan Bajia. Wan Lin led the people from Jingzhao Mansion to clear the way. Lin Sui'an and others continued to sit on Ling Zhiyan's carriage to press the formation. According to their traveling speed, It will take about a quarter of an hour to reach the destination.
The carriage was rocking so fast that he was almost drowsy, and his head banged against the wall of the carriage. Jin Ruo was holding a plate and eating the last few snacks, with a rather sad look on his face, probably because he was hungry.
Hua Yitang raised the curtains, and the street lights passed over his handsome eyebrows, shining brightly.
Ling Zhiyan: "Does Silang want to get out of the car and go shopping?"
Hua Yitang: "Although Hongqiaofang and Yongtaifang are only separated by a road, they are actually farther than imagined."
"Dongdu is better than Yangdu. There is no bold shop that dares to cut a door hole in the wall of the square. Coming from Yongtai Square, you have to go around two square gates and an inner curved gate, which will naturally take some time."
Hua Yitang said a long "Oh", put down the car curtain, closed his eyes and rested.
It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and Lin Sui'an was also a little sleepy. He yawned and decided to find a topic to cheer him up: "How much does a red sleeves and flowing water banquet cost?"
Ling Zhiyan: "I heard it's one hundred and fifty gold."
Lin Sui'an immediately became energetic and opened his eyes.
Hua Yitang closed his eyes and hummed twice, quite disdainfully.
Lin Sui'an: "Ling Sizhi knows the price so well, has he been here before?"
Before Ling Zhiyan could reply, Hua Yitang answered first, "Just him? He has the heart but not the money."
For the first time, Ling Zhiyan did not refute, and said sincerely: "The Ling family's family wealth is far inferior to that of the Hua family, so they don't dare to be extravagant and wasteful."
Lin Sui'an: "How does the Su family compare to the Ling family?"
Ling Zhiyan immediately understood what Lin Sui'an meant, and when she was about to answer, Hua Yitang interrupted her: "No matter how bad the Ling family is, it is still a hundred times stronger than the Su family!"
Ling Zhiyan was startled for a moment, then lowered her eyes and smiled.
"The Su family in Suizhou is almost as good as a beggar, and they dare to slap their face and pretend to be fat." Hua Yitang opened his eyes and sneered, "If you say there is nothing fishy in this, I will never believe it. Su Yiyun, please Who are these people?”
The last question was about Jin Ruo.
Jin Ruo finished eating the last piece of snacks in the car and patted the crumbs on his mouth, "I heard that they are all students from famous and talented families, as well as a few rather mysterious nobles."
Suddenly, the horses outside the carriage neighed, the wheels braked sharply, and the bright wind lifted the curtains and shouted, "Ling Gong, it's bad! Wan Gong and Fan Bajia's nursing home are fighting!"
Ling Zhiyan turned pale with fright, jumped off the carriage, and walked away quickly with Ming Shu and Ming Feng.
Lin Sui'an was no longer sleepy at all, and followed him in high spirits. Hua Yitang shook his small fan, and his long legs were able to keep up with Lin Sui'an's speed. Jin Ruo dragged Fang Ke and the oil bottle and trotted away. It's an expression that says "it's not too big a deal to watch the fun".
Lin Sui'an: "How dare a brothel go against Jingzhao Mansion?"
Hua Yitang: "Of course the Fan family wouldn't dare. They must be relying on human power."
In two sentences, everyone had arrived in front of the main entrance of Fan Ba's family. Lin Sui'an looked at it calmly, "Good guy, this Fan Ba's family is indeed well-deserved. Its momentum is comparable to the Hua family's other courtyard in the village, especially the gatekeeper." The nurses in the hospital are all big-bodied and round-waisted, wearing brown shorts, iron bars on their waists, and black forehead wipes. Their looks are as if they were specially selected. Their faces are full of flesh. At first glance, they are not good-looking. There were forty or fifty people.
In comparison, Wan Lin was just a soldier from Jingzhao Prefecture, and he did not bring many people. Most of them stayed in Yongtaifang and Qiuyuan Guesthouses, and he thought he would just come to Fan Bajia for a brief visit, so With only ten government officials, they were completely at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.
Wan Lin held the hilt of the knife in his hand, frowning angrily, "Jingzhao Mansion is investigating the case. Anyone who is not involved should get out of the way!"
The leader of the nursing home was a sturdy man with two swords stuck in his waist. His voice was as loud as a bell, "Today the Fan Ba family entertained all noble people. Not to mention that you, a small Jingzhao Mansion, joined the army. Even if you Jingzhao Mansion The governor is here in person, so don’t trespass!"
Wan Lin was furious and drew his sword and was about to charge. Ling Zhiyan hurriedly grabbed Wan Lin and showed his official badge, "Dali Temple is investigating the case. Please report."
The head of the nursing home paused for a moment on Ling Zhiyan's official badge, clasped his fists, and turned around to enter the courtyard. As soon as he left, the guards in black immediately surrounded the main entrance tightly, like an iron gate.
Wan Lin: "Tsk, Su's family is so grand."
Ling Zhiyan frowned and said nothing.
Hua Yitang stepped forward waving his fan and said in a low voice, "Naturally, a mere Su family from Suizhou would not dare to be so arrogant, for fear that the noble people inside would be extraordinary."
Wan Lin: "What kind of noble person can he be?"
Hua Yitang smashed the toothbrush and didn't answer, but looking at his expression, he was quite eager to give it a try.
Jin Ruo squinted at the guards in black and whispered, "Is there something fishy about the sticks in their hands?"
Lin Sui'an: "How to say?"
"There seems to be some mark where the palm is held. It's too far away to see clearly."
Lin Sui'an understood. He picked up a stone with his toes and kicked it out. The stone flew past in the darkness of the night. He used the skill of picking his tendons "like an animal to be chopped", and at a tricky angle, he silently hit a guard. Yuan's elbow went numb, and the guard screamed, and the iron rod in his hand suddenly dropped from his hand, throwing it far away, and by chance it landed at Hua Yitang's feet.
The guards were shocked. They gathered in a circle and looked around, but unfortunately they found nothing. Hua Yitang picked up the iron rod, but saw that it was coated with a layer of black paint. One-sixth of the end of the rod was engraved with a golden pattern, shaped like a feather.
Ling Zhiyan's expression changed: "Jin Yuwei?!"
Hua Yitang: "It turns out that the so-called noble person is the Jiang family of Taiyuan."
Wan Lin: "Hey!"
Lin Sui'an asked Jin Ruo in a low voice: "Who is the Jiang family in Taiyuan?"
Jin Ruo was shocked, "You have been hanging out with people named Hua for so long, but you don't know about the five surnames and the seven sects?"
Lin Sui'an slapped Jin Ruo on the back of the head, "Speak quickly."
Jin Ruo rubbed his head in grievance: "Among the five surnames and seven sects, in addition to the Yangduhua surname, the Xingyang Ling surname, and the Suizhou surname, there are also the Longxi Bai surname, the Qingzhou Bai surname, the Taiyuan Jiang surname, and the Qianzhou Jiang surname. The four sects are all noble families that have been in the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years. Compared with these four families, the Hua, Ling, and Su families can only be regarded as juniors. Especially the Jiang family of Taiyuan, who has produced three queens. It is no exaggeration to say that they are worthy of A thousand-year-old family that calls turning hands like clouds and covering hands like rain.”
Lin Sui'an: Oh!
Jin Ruo came closer and said, "The Golden Feather Guards under the Taiyuan Jiang family have amazing combat power. I heard that our sect has produced a master ranked fifth in the world in recent years, named Jiang Dongyi, who is known as the Tiger of Taiyuan County... Your eyes are cramped. Already?"
Lin Sui said: "Haha."
She had already had a premonition that the protagonist's halo above Hua Yitang's head was already filled with fgs.
Not long after, the leader of the nursing home returned and scolded the fussing nursing homes to return to their posts. He cupped his fists and said, "The noble person inside said, if you ask about Yong Tai Fang's case, there is no need. This case has nothing to do with the noble person."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Sui'an and Hua Yitang couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes shining.
Hua Yitang: This means there are no three hundred taels of silver here.
Lin Sui'an: You're already here, so it wouldn't be a pity not to go in and take a look.
Ling Zhiyan glanced at their expressions and coughed lightly.
Wan Lin looked quite embarrassed and bumped into Ling Zhiyan.
"In that case, there is no need to investigate Wan Canjun," Ling Zhiyan said.
Wan Lin's eyes almost fell out.
Ling Zhiyan straightened her robe, "Ling Zhiyan of the Ling family in Xingyang, please see Su Yiyun of the Su family in Suizhou. Please inform me."
The head of the nursing home was stunned for a moment, "Are you Ling Zhiyan from the Ling family?"
"Hua Yitang of the Yangdu Hua family," Hua Yitang clasped his fists and said with a smile, "I have always heard that the Su family in Suizhou has a noble family style, so I came here because of its reputation."
"Are you Shiro Hanaka?!" The leader's expression management was a bit broken.
Hua Yitang smiled brightly.
"Later, you two!" The leader entered the door again.
"Brother Wan, please withdraw while Silang and I go in to investigate." Ling Zhiyan told Wan Lin.
Wan Lin looked worried, "Why don't we check for clues elsewhere? If there are really people from the Jiang family in Taiyuan, wouldn't this be a dragon's den and a tiger's den?"
Ling Zhiyan smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter."
"I'll be with him, don't worry." Hua Yitang said.
Wan Lin left worriedly.
The conversation between these three people made Lin Sui'an think about it: Could it be that the Ling family has a grudge against the Jiang family in Taiyuan?
The head of the nursing home came out with a much better attitude this time, "Invite the sixth son of the Ling family and the fourth son of the Hua family to the banquet."
Ling Zhiyan stepped into the door. Hua Yitang and Lin Sui'an were about to enter, but the head of the nursing home stopped Lin Sui'an, "Who is this little lady?"
"I am -" Lin Sui'an had just finished speaking. Suddenly, Hua Yitang stretched out his long arms and took Lin Sui'an into his arms. Lin Sui'an's hair suddenly stood up, and he almost threw Hua Yitang down out of reflex. When she went out, she held back and saw Hua Yitang looking at her lovingly and saying, "She is my confidante. She is inseparable from me and will never abandon her. I can't bear to leave her alone outside. If If you bump into it, I’ll be heartbroken to death.”
Lin Sui'an's eyes were twitching, and he stretched out his hand to pinch Hua Yitang's back. Hua Yitang was worthy of being the most handsome man in Yangdu. He managed his expression to the best, even though it was so painful that he shed tears, he could still maintain his affection. The smile, not to mention the sparkling eyes, has a bit of a "until death do us part" flavor.
The head of the nursing home choked and looked at Jin Ruo and Fang Ke, "Then these two are-"
Jin Ruo rushed forward, hugged Hua Yitang's arm, and winked at Hua Yitang, "I am Shiro's blue-faced confidant!"
Fang Ke grabbed Hua Yitang's belt and said the most horrifying words of love with the most dull expression, "It's cold outside, Silang, don't abandon me."
This sentence successfully cracked Hua Yitang's perfect smiling mask. Lin Sui'an lowered his head and suppressed laughter crazily.
The leader's expression was no longer calm. "He is indeed Shiro Hana, and he deserves his reputation!" written all over his face. He stared at the four people hugging each other and hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Please."
After tugging and tugging, the four of them finally entered the main gate of Fan Ba's house. Ling Zhiyan stood on the corridor in the courtyard, staring at the strange appearance of the four of them in stunned silence for a moment, then suddenly turned her head and burst out laughing.
Lin Sui'an immediately stepped back two steps away from Hua Yitang with Jin Ruo and Fang Ke. Lin Sui'an glared at Hua Yitang fiercely. Jin Ruo quickly shook his clothes, and Fang Ke was even more serious and took out a handkerchief. Zi began to wipe his hands.
Hua Yitang's face turned completely dark.
"Su Yiyun of Suizhou respectfully welcomes the Sixth Lang of the Ling Family and the Fourth Lang of the Hua Family!"
A figure walked through the dense night. The wide sleeves of the robe and the plain white shoe became clearer frame by frame, and there was also a rather handsome face.
Lin Sui'an's pupils shrank violently.
This face is very similar to Su Chengxian. At first glance, it looks like Su Chengxian climbed out of the grave. :,,
