Chapter 441 Token

This old procuress is really obsessed with money.

Lian Xiang clenched the handkerchief in her hand and said with a smile: "Of course."

"But Mammy, don't blame me for not advising you. Some money can be earned, and some money cannot be earned."

” “You'd better be careful in the future.”

The brothel owner rolled her eyes impatiently: “Miss Lianxiang, I spent real money to buy your sister. If it weren’t for the fact that I know you, I would not let you redeem her for a hundred taels of silver. With her qualifications, she will definitely become an oiran with a little training. I helped you, and you still cursed me. You have no conscience.”

Shaoyao couldn't stand it anymore: “You, the brothel owner, are so unreasonable. It's obvious that you bought her without asking about her background. If the matter was reported to the government, you would be in trouble. My sister is kind-hearted, so she didn't report to the police. Otherwise, your brothel would have to be closed.”

Lianxiang tugged at Shaoyao's hand, soothed the sisters around her with her eyes, and hurriedly took the sisters away.

Back at Yangliu Building, she told the story of Tang Ruxue.

The sisters in the building paced back and forth excitedly after hearing this.

"I saw that girl yesterday with extraordinary clothes, but I didn't expect that she was Tang Shi, the sister of General Tang."

"These brothels dare to accept General Tang's sister. I'm afraid they are in big trouble."

Lianxiang nodded: "There is no time to delay. I'll go to the general's mansion now."

"Wait a moment." Shaoyao stopped Lianxiang: "I always feel that something is wrong about this matter. According to what you said, the girl is the general's sister and has a noble status. It may not be appropriate for us to go forward rashly."

"Those powerful people care about face the most. They might kill us to silence us for the sake of face."

Not to mention anything else, in their brothel, a sister was deceived by the sweet words of a senior official before, and she happily redeemed herself and wanted to be the concubine of the senior official.

Unexpectedly, the official only took her to a side courtyard and raised her as a concubine.

The sisters were anxious and kept urging the official. They kept urging him, and the official became anxious.

"I am an important official in the court. You are just a prostitute. How can you be worthy of me? If outsiders knew that my concubine was a whore, they would laugh at me."

The official was so angry that he wanted to strangle her to death.

It was only because the sisters humbled themselves and tried to please the official that the official spared her life.

"I think we should find a middleman for this matter. In this way, if the Tang general wants to kill us, he will have to think twice."

Shaoyao's words made sense. Lianxiang thought about it carefully.

"If Dayun hadn't fallen, it would be easy to find a middleman."

"But now the dynasty has changed, and those dignitaries we knew before are now prisoners. Who can we find?"

Shaoyao smiled and said, "Who said there is no one."

"Sister, have you forgotten Huiyan Pavilion, Madam Yu?"

"Madam Yu is no longer the same as before, and she will definitely be able to testify for us."

They all knew Hui Niang's character. She was a very kind person and would definitely not hurt them.

"I'll go to Huiyan Pavilion to find someone."

Lianxiang came at the right time. Hui Niang was holding Gan Tian in her arms and looking at the account book in the shop. When she saw her coming, she hurriedly asked someone to bring some snacks.

"It's been a while since I last saw you. Miss Lianxiang has become much prettier."

Lianxiang smiled, looked around, and whispered about Tang Ruxue.

[Hehe, mother already knew about this.]

[Tang Ruxue is so restless, how could we let her wander around alone?]

Hui Niang clearly knew Tang Ruxue's current situation, but she still pretended to be surprised.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Don't worry, Miss Lianxiang. I will send someone to inform General Tang."

"This matter concerns the reputation of women. I hope Miss Lianxiang will not make it public."

Lianxiang nodded: "Of course, Madam Yu, don't worry, I will definitely not say anything nonsense about this matter."

"But General Tang should be quick. There are people coming and going in that brothel, and the longer it takes, the more people will know."

Everyone knew about Tang Ruxue's arrest yesterday.

But after discussing it, everyone still felt that it would be better to rescue her later and let Tang Ruxue suffer.

I didn't expect Tang Ruxue to be so lucky to meet Lianxiang.

Lianxiang paid out of her own pocket to improve Tang Ruxue's treatment. Not only did she live in a big house, but she also had a good meal.

With food and drink, and no need to study or work, not only would the purpose of the punishment not be achieved, but if it was delayed for too long, Tang Ruxue might even find something fun and not want to come back.

Hui Niang naturally did not dare to delay.

"General Tang naturally would not dare to delay such a big matter, Miss Lianxiang, please rest assured."

It was her first time back in the capital, and Huiyan Pavilion had not been packed up yet. There were not many goods in it, and there was nothing to show to thank Lianxiang.

She thought for a moment and said, "Thank you very much, Miss Lianxiang, for this time. From now on, Huiyan Pavilion will take care of the sanitary napkins."

Lianxiang waved her hands hurriedly, "No, no, I still have to pay for it."

As expected, the person in front of her was the future Empress Dowager, and who dared to ask for the Empress Dowager's things for free.

"Of course we have to. We can't let such a kindhearted person like Miss Lianxiang down."

As soon as Lianxiang returned to Yangliu Tower, Hui Niang sent people to deliver sanitary napkins to everyone in the building in her name.

Not long after, Tang Shi brought people to raze the brothel and rescued Tang Ruxue.

Perhaps because of his anger, Tang Shi made a big fuss.

Tang Shi was still somewhat rational. He came under the pretext of searching for people buying and selling in various brothels. Not only did he seal off that brothel, but he also sealed off all the brothels around that bought and sold people at will.

It can be said that except for Yangliu Tower, which was a clear stream in the brothel, all other brothels in this brothel alley were sealed off.

When they arrived at Yangliu Tower, Tang Shi took off the token from his waist and gave it to Lian Xiang.

"Take this token, Miss Lian Xiang, you can come to the General's Mansion at any time. If you can be of any use to me in the future, I will never refuse."

Tang Shi handed over some banknotes and said, "I hope you will accept these."

"Thank you very much, Miss Lianxiang. If it weren't for Miss Lianxiang, my sister would have suffered."

Tang Shi naturally knew that Tang Ruxue had been arrested.

When she first learned that Tang Ruxue had been arrested, she wanted to demolish these brothels, but Yu Wenshu stopped her and told her not to act impulsively.

Only then did she suppress her inner irritability.

Although Lianxiang ruined their plan, Tang Shi was still grateful to Lianxiang.

If they hadn't sent someone to secretly follow Tang Ruxue, Lianxiang's action would have helped them.

Tang Shi naturally had to accept this favor.

Song Ci was hesitant to speak, and after leaving Yangliu Tower, Song Ci asked: "General, I remember that you gave the token to His Majesty before, how come it is still there?"

Tang Shi stopped and rubbed Song Ci's head.

"Fool, the token is dead, but the person is alive. As long as the person is alive, you can make as many tokens as you want."
