Chapter 125: Fighting for Wealth

Taiyi City naturally has everything, whether it is restaurants, inns, teahouses, casinos, or brothels. But what is different from other places is that the restaurants, inns, and brothels here are often decorated in a luxurious style.

After Li Hong and his father Li Zhi finished their meal at their own restaurant, the two of them tacitly chose this romantic place called "Zuihonglou".

Hua Meng, Yang Wu and others naturally followed in. There were many merchants coming and going here. Fang Zhan and Heng Qiao appeared at some point. After whispering a few words in front of Hua Meng and Yang Wu, they disappeared into the dark.

Li Hong took his father to enjoy singing and dancing, so naturally he had to sit in the front row, which was also the most expensive seat. The front seats around the round dance floor were naturally the ones that cost the most money to get.

Li Hong and Li Zhi were sitting at the front, on a stage several steps above the ground. At the moment, a charming Hu girl was twisting her waist and hips there, looking so seductive.

The short skirt spun with her body and floated slowly around her waist. The scenery under the skirt was naturally the most attention-grabbing part for the men in the hall.

She was wearing the new underwear made in Taiyi City on her towering chest, with patches of white breasts exposed, shining with an alluring light. As her body swayed, waves of breasts shook out, which was a feast for the eyes.

With Hu Ji's charming figure, more and more people came into the hall. After a while, the whole hall was crowded. The waiters were flitting among the crowd like butterflies, serving different drinks ordered by the guests to each table.

Although the floating population in Taiyi City is not as large as that in Chang'an at this time, its density is no less than that of Chang'an. Moreover, the floating population in Taiyi City is mostly wealthy businessmen. When they come to Taiyi City to do business, they naturally will not miss such a place with bright lights and wine to have fun.

...

...

These people usually come with their own guards. If they meet a good host, they will naturally reward them with two glasses of wine. If they meet a stingy one, they can only stand on the sides and watch.

"Kunlun slaves and Silla maids" were the favorites of the nobles and wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty at that time. Therefore, as these merchants had more and more money, they also began to buy some Kunlun slaves to carry with them. Firstly, they could protect their safety, and secondly, they could be used as a symbol of their own wealth.

Zuihonglou naturally also had its own Kunlun slaves and Silla maids, all of whom were used as servants. Moreover, the Kunlun slaves used by Zuihonglou were not ordinary Kunlun slaves, but real Kunlun slaves of the black race. In order to distinguish them from ordinary Kunlun slaves, the Tang people gave them a new name: Sengjunu.

This kind of slave was relatively rare in the Tang Dynasty, and it was difficult for it to fall into the hands of ordinary families. Even ordinary wealthy businessmen could hardly buy one or two.

Sengjinu have always been known for their strong bodies like bulls, mild temperaments, and down-to-earth and upright character. They are deeply loved by nobles and wealthy families. In addition, their numbers are small, so it is basically difficult to see too many of them.

But this restaurant employs dozens of monk slaves who are as strong as bulls as waiters. It is enough to imagine how powerful the boss behind this Zuihonglou is. Even Li Hong and Li Zhi were stunned to see this scene.

The whole hall was in a state of excitement as more and more Hu girls appeared on the stage but with less and less clothes on their bodies. At this moment, generous merchants began to throw some rewards onto the stage, some threw copper coins, some threw silver, and even gold and jewelry were thrown onto the stage.

Li Zhi was already very happy today, and since no one was restraining him, he drank a few more glasses during dinner. At this moment, watching Hua Meng pouring wine for him, he drank it all in one gulp in the lively and enthusiastic atmosphere of the hall. Then, he followed the people in the hall and made strange noises, cheering Hu Ji on the stage, and continued to take off the few clothes he had on.

Some merchants who brought Silla maids with them were naturally not shy at all at this time. In the Tang Dynasty, an era where men and women were relatively equal and people had open-minded ideas, no one would think there was anything wrong with such performances. Moreover, the Silla maids also had their own little thoughts.

That is, when the monks and slaves walked through the hall, they enjoyed the monks and slaves' unintentional big hands touching their bodies. Some Silla maids would even deliberately push their plump breasts up when the monks and slaves passed by, so that the passing monks and slaves could easily touch them.

But these have nothing to do with the father and son. There is money thrown on the stage in front of every table in the front seats around the stage, but there is nothing except for Li Hong and his son.

Hu Ji had obviously received a hint from outside the venue and thought that these two people were new merchants who had arrived in Taiyi City. Since they could sit in the front row, they must be wealthy businessmen. Then she began to sway in front of the two men with great effort, performing all sorts of erotic and indecent poses in front of them, twisting and turning seductively on the stage.

Li Hong and Li Zhi looked at each other in bewilderment. They naturally knew what the other party was going to do. After looking at each other, they reached their hands to the back at the same time. The second row was occupied by Hua Meng and others, and now there were five of them.

After seeing the hands of the two masters, she hurriedly handed over the small change in her pocket and said awkwardly in their ears: "Master, I never bring money when I go out, and this is all I have."

Li Zhi had sharp ears. After hearing this, he quickly turned around and glanced at Hua Meng and Yang Wu behind him. Then the jade pendants on their waists were pulled off, and then he was thrown up without even looking back.

Suddenly, a merchant on the opposite side saw Li Zhi being so bold, so he simply handed his silver bag to the Silla maid next to him, took off his jade pendant, looked at Li Zhi provocatively, and threw it on the stage.

Li Zhi took a look, and then looked at Li Hong. He thought that he could no longer rely on the people behind him, so now he could only rely on his son.

Li Hong also noticed the man's provocation, and threw all the few ounces of silver that he had just snatched from Hua Meng and the other four onto the stage, then looked at the merchant in the same provocative manner.

The merchant did not expect that Li Hong would dare to provoke him. He sneered at Li Hong, then took the silver bag containing dozens of taels from the Silla maid beside him, shook it at Li Hong and Li Zhi, and threw it onto the stage again.

Suddenly, the merchant opposite provoked them with an even more naked look, and then took out another bag of silver from his pocket, which was at least a lot more than what he had just thrown onto the stage. He weighed it in his hand, as if he was going to continue the fight.

Li Hong and his father looked at each other, what did this mean? Are you richer than me?

The two men reflexively wanted to reach back, but suddenly they remembered that the poor guys behind them had no money. They didn't pay the bill for dinner today, and Fang Zhan and Heng Qiao had already arranged everything when they entered Zui Hong Lou. Besides, even if Fang Zhan and Heng Qiao racked their brains, they would never have thought that their two ancestors would compete with others in wealth in Zui Hong Lou.

Li Hong looked at the businessman and snorted, then touched his chest, but found nothing. Li Zhi was also performing the same action, and his whole body was completely clean, with nothing on it.

At this time, several Hu Ji on the stage had already aroused the audience's emotions to the extreme. On the stage covered with thick carpet, all kinds of silver, gold, jewelry and jewels were flying like rain.

It was the merchant opposite. He threw two bags of silver over at this moment. He looked at Li Zhi and Li Hong provocatively, with a look in his eyes that said: You poor guy, why do you fight with me? I have plenty of money.

The stage covered with money and the other guests seemed to be against Li Zhi and his son. Coincidentally, only some silver coins and two jade pendants were lying alone on the stage in front of them.

Moreover, Hua Meng and Yang Wu are both money-loving people. They never wear any expensive jade pendants. All they wear are the same jade strings that ordinary merchants can wear around their waists!

Faced with the provocation of the merchants on the opposite side, how could Li Zhi allow his dignity as the emperor to be defied?

Almost at the same time as Li Hong, both of them reached for each other's waists. In a flash, before the other could react, they took off the only jade pendant on each other and threw it onto the thick carpet on the stage.

The two of them stared at each other and said at the same time, "Hey, that was given to me by your mother on my birthday this year!"

"Hey, that was just given to me by my mother on my birthday this year." Li Hong also stared at Li Zhi.

After the two of them spoke at the same time, they realized the consequences of throwing away the two jade pendants. Without waiting for Li Zhi to react, Li Hong stood up and climbed onto the stage, hurriedly picked up the two jade pendants and was about to leave the stage.

Just as he bent down to pick it up and prepared to leave the stage, the music suddenly stopped. Everyone looked at him with wide eyes, wondering how could someone pick up the items after being rewarded.

"Young man, if you don't have money, don't come to this kind of place. This place is not like other places where you can come here with some money." The businessman said coldly.

Li Hong turned around and was about to speak when he saw a man who looked like a manager walking up to the stage. He looked at Li Hong and then at the two jade pendants in Li Hong's hand.

Like the merchants present, these people had sharp eyes. Including the merchant who had just provoked them, they could tell at a glance that these two jade pendants were definitely priceless treasures.

The steward first bowed to Li Hong, and then said, "Young Master, Zui Hong Lou has always been committed to not returning any gold and silver gifts from guests, so, could you please put back the two jade pendants that were thrown up just now?"

Li Hong shook his head like a rattle and said, "That won't do. If I give you these two jade pendants, it will kill you. Let's wait until next time. Please show your support next time."

Li Hong's relaxed and frank expression, as well as his serious words, made the merchants burst into laughter. It was the first time for them to meet such an ignorant customer. Normally, if they wanted to get their things back, they should have discussed it with the manager in a soft voice.

This young man is so good, it seems as if the words come out of his mouth as a matter of course, and the tone of "next time" sounds like Enci's Drunken Red Tower.
