Chapter 404: Secret feelings 3

Night comes to the city, but the whole city does not become deserted because of the arrival of night. The influx of a large number of merchants makes the city very lively even at night, and I have not enforced any curfews. As long as the people are willing, this is a city that never sleeps.

I didn't see Yang Kaiwu during dinner. I also asked someone to go to Yang Langya's military camp, but Yang Kaiwu still didn't go back, and I didn't know where he went. I'm not very worried about his safety. After all, the city is still relatively peaceful now, and Yang Kaiwu's martial arts skills are still good, so there shouldn't be any problems. What I fear most now is that he doesn't know where to go to drink to drown his sorrows. After all, this is the longest method used by men in this era when they are frustrated.

After waiting for a while, I still didn't feel relieved, so I called Zhou Hua, and the rest of the people accompanied the old man and the future wife, and the tenth prince, playing mahjong. The old man and the tenth prince loved this way of entertainment, which was beyond my expectations. The reason why I left the other few at home was that it was not good to go to find Yang Kaiwu for too many people, and the second was that Feixue and the others were also allowed to accompany the old man, which was considered to be filial.

After leaving the door, we didn't ride a horse, and just took Zhou Hua's hand and walked on the street.

There are still many people on the street. Walking in the restaurants on the street, there are people making them. A pot of hot wine, a few butterfly dishes, and a few friends discuss the new policies and new regulations that have been introduced by the city lord's mansion. At the same time, listening to the storyteller talk about those strange people and anecdotes has become the way for most people in the city to enjoy the night. Those storytellers, who said it well, not only have money to pay, but many shops also spend money to invite them to talk to them in order to attract customers, and also make wine and food. This also solves their lives and lives have settled down.

In addition to restaurants, the most lively places in the city are the music halls and brothels. The music halls are mainly places where women who make a living by selling their skills. Here guests can listen to music, enjoy dances, etc., but the women here do not sell themselves. Their dances and music are specially composed and choreographed. Because the songs I had in Shangling, such as "Laughing the World", and some military songs, such as "Loyalty for the Country", etc., were deeply loved by the people, so some people who specialize in music also began to imitate the style of these music and began to compose similar music. Although they were imitation, the earliest composers and lyricists were born.

As for brothels, I also agreed that they exist. After all, the women in them are all women forced by life, and I did not deliberately make things difficult for them. All shops are exempt from taxes for the first year and include these brothels. However, there are conditions, that is, the number of brothels in the city must be limited. Each brothel must take out 30% of the total income every month and deposit it into the bank designated by the city lord's mansion. Then the bank will establish an account for each girl according to the number of girls in this brothel, and then divide the silver equally and then deposit these accounts. This system is enforced and there is absolutely no room for negotiation. This also allows those girls to have a sum of silver for their lives after washing their hands one day.

Among these brothels, two are Murong Sanniang, one of my sister-in-law's intelligence website. When we entered the city, they also entered. And the biggest boss behind them, one of me, is me, which is one of the things that these girls can do.

As for other industries, this system is being implemented slowly.

I took Zhou Huan's hand and shuttled through the crowd, and the destination was Tianxiang Embroidery House. They should know where Yang Kaiwu went.

Zhou Hua leaned tightly against me. Now she had no knot in her heart and was completely invaded by happiness. This person also seemed particularly bright. In addition, she was born with beauty and had the temperament of a royal family, which made her turnaround rate absolutely 100%.

The place of Tianxiang Embroidery House is a bit remote, so it is still a long way from the city lord's mansion. Just as we walked to a turn, we caught up with someone behind us and whispered: "Young Master!"

Outsiders usually call me the city lord, and only the staff of the chamber of commerce and the subordinates at home call me the young master. As soon as I heard this, I knew that the person coming must be from the chamber of commerce.

I turned my head and saw that the person who called me was a servant in green. Seeing that I stopped, I quickly came up and said, "Young Master, General Yang is here where we are, and I am already drunk!"

"Where are you?"

I was stunned and asked, "Who are you?"

The servant showed a hint of embarrassment and said, "We are Fan Xiulou!"

When I heard this, I realized why there was a hint of embarrassment on his face. This Fanxiulou is a brothel and one of the two brothels. Yang Kaiwu is now in Fanxiulou, so he must have gone to Huajiu in a depressed mood. It seems that this guy's progress is not going well, so I nodded and said, "Let me lead the way!"

The servant nodded and led the way in front.

After the servant turned his head, Zhou Hua asked in a low voice, "Where is this Fanxiu Building?"

I hesitated for a moment, and still answered honestly in a low voice, "Brotherland!"

Zhou Wu was stunned, then his face rose and touched the red red, and he spitted gently, then twisted his hand gently, and said, "You men are not good things!"

I quickly beg for mercy and said, "My wife, I'm honest and haven't gone there once! As for Kaiwu, I guess that kid was defeated in Xiangling and went to drink when he was depressed. It's not his fault. This young man occasionally makes some mistakes!"

"You have many reasons!" Zhou Wu gave me a blank look and said, "Come on, that person has gone far away!"

I nodded and immediately pulled Zhou Hua to follow him.

Fanxiu Tower is located in the most prosperous place in the city, with a large flow of people at the door. We also sneak in through the back door, otherwise we would be seen by the lord of the city to take his wife to the brothel and it would be a lot of fun.

After arriving, under the guidance of the servant, we came to a room in the backyard. The lights were on. After pushing open the door, a woman sitting by the bed immediately stood up, bowed to us, and then said, "Young Master!"

I nodded. It seemed that this woman was also the core figure in the brothel. After walking over, Yang Kaiwu on the bed was sleeping soundly, his face was flushed and there was a smile on his face.

I shook my head helplessly and asked, "How long has he been here?"

The woman immediately said, "I just arrived, and we took him to the backyard as soon as we arrived. We noticed that there were not many people. We were in a bad mood when we came, so we gave him some medicine in the wine. This medicine was not harmful to the body, just to let him have a good sleep!"

"Okay!" I looked at Yang Kaiwu who was sleeping and said, "Let him have a good sleep. Send someone to prepare a carriage for me, I have an urgent need!"

The woman nodded and asked the servant to prepare the horse. After I asked her to take good care of Yang Kaiwu, she also planned to go to Tianxiang Embroidery House. I felt it was necessary to talk to Xiangling, and I felt relieved that Yang Kaiwu is here now.

After leaving the door, the carriage was already waiting at the door. The person who drove was the servant who had just brought us here. After getting on the car, we headed straight to Tianxiang Embroidery House.

It’s different when you have a car. It didn’t take long to arrive. After getting off the car, I asked the servant to wait at the door, while I pulled Zhou Wu to knock on the door of Tianxiang Embroidery House and shouted, “Don’t anyone do you have?”

"Who!"

A female voice came from inside, and then a creaking sound was made, and a small crack was opened. Deng Long on both sides of the door, and she could see Zhou Wu and me outside the door clearly. After seeing clearly that it was me, she was shocked and immediately opened the door, turning her head and shouting: "Sister, the city lord is here!"

After the shouts fell, several women walked out of the house, and the leader was the man who was called Rong Fei during the day.

There was something important tonight, so when I saw her, I also got straight to the point. I first introduced Zhou Hua, and then directly where Xiangling was.

Seeing me asking Xiangling, a trace of helplessness appeared on her face, and she said, "I don't know what's going on. That girl locked herself in her room and didn't eat dinner. We ordered several times and didn't open the door!" The concern suddenly appeared on her face.

I sighed and said, "I probably have a fight with Kaiwu. That kid is drunk now!" After saying that, he explained Yang Kaiwu's situation in detail, but concealed the part he was staying in the brothel now. After saying that, I continued, "Can you take me to Xiangling's room to see?"

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. City Lord, Xiangling and General Yang are impossible. I think it's better to forget it, they..."

“Isn’t it a good match?”

I took her words, then looked at Zhou Hua and said, "Do you know that the princess next to me is the Great Zhou. It turns out that I also believe that I am not a match with her, but I almost lost her. I also understand that love someone, portals, etc. should not be a problem. If Xiangling and Kaiwu cannot be together for this reason, then sooner or later, they will regret it!"

When she heard that Zhou Ma was the princess of the Great Zhou, she looked at Zhou Ma. At the same time, she also understood that the beauty in front of her was the heroine of the joke "Ten Thousands of Miles to Raise Marriage, Lovers Finally Get Familiar" that is widely circulated in the city. In addition, she has lived in the palace for many years, and she could see Zhou Ma's noble temperament at a glance. She couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "City Lord, Madam, please come with me!"

The whole yard seemed very quiet. The lobby in front was their embroidered place, and the back was their room. The entire backyard was full of flowers and plants. It seemed that the original owner of the house was also a quiet person. After walking around a few corridors, she took us to a room with lights on and whispered, "This is Xiangling's room."

After saying that, I was about to knock on the door, and I immediately stopped her and said, "Let me do it!"
