Chapter 344 Song Li
A young man suddenly wants to redeem a prostitute whom he has only met once. Although this is rare, it is not uncommon.
After all, "impulsive spending" is a mistake that everyone can easily make.
Therefore, the madam was only slightly stunned for a moment, and then her heart was filled with ecstasy.
She had originally planned to send this "hen that can't lay eggs" back home the next day, but she never expected that she would meet a "savior" at the last minute.
And although Chu Xianping looked different and wore ordinary clothes, his temperament formed by living a superior life for a long time made the madam instantly judge that he was a wealthy man.
Maybe I can make a lot of money! He made up his mind and immediately showed an extremely "embarrassed" look on his face.
"Sir, you..."
"Alas, although Miss Mo'er has only been in our building for a few days, you have seen that she is both beautiful and graceful. I originally wanted to make her an otaku in the future."
"Sir, I'm not bragging. When Miss Mo'er sold herself to Zuichunlou, we gave her parents 200 taels of silver. After she entered the building, we taught her music, chess, calligraphy and painting."
“.”
In order to get a good price, the madam spoke without hesitation and described the woman named Moer as a rising star of the future.
Chu Xianping just listened for fun and asked only one question after she finished.
"How much silver?"
“.”
The madam was stunned for a moment, then she slapped him with a look of pain on her face: "Five hundred taels!"
"Sir, please don't think it's too expensive. This price is already..."
"make a deal."
Without any delay, Chu Xianping immediately took out a silver note of five hundred taels from his pocket.
Now, to him, it makes no difference whether it is five hundred taels or eight hundred taels, so he is too lazy to waste his breath.
Although the madam regretted asking for a lower price, she couldn't go back on her word.
And this was already a lot of money, so she quickly took the banknote with a smile on her face, turned around and left for a moment, and when she came back, she had a contract of sale in her hand.
After taking the contract of sale, Chu Xianping placed it directly next to the woman who was still sleeping, and also put down a silver note worth one hundred taels.
"She won't wake up until a few hours later, and she needs to pack her things before leaving, so she will stay here for another day."
Looking back at the madam, Chu Xianping chuckled and said, "You'd better not do anything you shouldn't do."
"No, no! Don't worry, sir!"
The madam could see that Chu Xianping's identity was not ordinary at this time. She made assurances for a long time, and then asked tentatively: "Sir, from what you said, are you not going to take Miss Mo'er away?"
"Um."
Chu Xianping nodded: "When she wakes up tomorrow, you just need to tell her that someone has redeemed her, and then let her leave on her own."
"Yes, I understand."
Although Chu Xianping's behavior was a bit strange, the madam just thought that he had money to burn, so she didn't ask any more questions and sent him all the way to the door.
Before leaving, Chu Xianping paused and asked one last question.
"What's her real name?"
"My lord, my name is Song Li."
An hour later, when Chu Xianping returned to the princess's mansion, Wei Changtian and others who had returned earlier had already held a small meeting in the dark room.
However, the atmosphere in the room was somewhat depressing.
Even Wei Changtian didn't joke when he saw him. He just nodded and then turned his gaze to Du Chang who had a look of indignation on his face.
"Brother Du, I have made it very clear just now. I hope you will not act on your own."
"Sir! I dare not act on my own! I just think..."
Turning his head to look at Chu Xianping, Du Chang said in a deep voice: "I just feel that this opportunity today really shouldn't be given up!"
"Even if that prostitute is not Yama, she is definitely related to Yama. If we can capture her, I'm sure we can find out a lot!"
"I told you, this might alert the enemy!"
Wei Changtian frowned: "They can't run away anyway, so what's the harm in waiting a few more days?"
"Sir! But if you delay, something unexpected will happen!"
Du Chang stiffened his neck and answered loudly: "This is about Yan Luo. No matter how we plan, we can't be completely sure. If there is still no progress after a few days, what should we do then?"
"Sir, in my opinion, it is better to do something than to do it undone. Otherwise, wouldn't all our efforts so far be in vain?!"
"Again."
The candlelight flickered slightly, reflecting Wei Changtian's unhappy expression.
The more Du Chang spoke, the more excited he became, but the more he listened, the more annoyed he became.
To be fair, Du Chang's idea is not without reason.
After all, when it comes to the matter of Yama Luo, no matter how you plan, it is impossible to achieve 100% success. Perhaps if you wait a few more days, the situation may be no different from tonight.
Therefore, what Du Chang said was actually nothing. Taking a step back, even if he was wrong, Wei Changtian could tolerate it.
But his attitude of "a loyal minister dying for his advice" made him very unhappy.
Wei Changtian was not the kind of person who would not listen to opposing opinions. He had discussed many things with Chu Xianping before.
However, Chu Xianping never nags or shirks his decision after he has made it.
Damn it, was it because I was too polite to Du Chang before, making him think that I was a "benevolent king"? "Enough!"
Suddenly, Wei Changtian finally interrupted Du Chang's chattering in a deep voice.
“.”
The latter's voice stopped abruptly. He looked up and met Wei Changtian's eyes for just a moment, and then his back was soaked with cold sweat.
“Plop!”
Du Chang immediately knelt on the ground, feeling extremely regretful.
Wei Changtian's guess was correct. Du Chang had indeed misjudged his character before, and coupled with his eagerness for merit, he dared to openly "challenge" him just now.
Now that Du Chang had understood, he naturally didn't dare to say anything more. The dark room fell into deathly silence for a while.
Until Chu Xianping, who had just returned, suddenly spoke.
"Sir, may I have a word with Brother Du Chang?"
"Um."
Wei Changtian was originally worrying about what to say to establish his authority, and now was a perfect opportunity to back off.
And he knew that Du Chang had always wanted to challenge Chu Xianping's position, so he also wanted to see how Chu Xianping would respond.
"Brother Du Chang, what you just said makes sense."
On the other side, Chu Xianping bowed to Wei Changtian, then slowly walked to Du Chang.
At this time, Wei Changtian had not asked Du Chang to stand up, so he was still kneeling, and naturally there was a height difference between him and Chu Xianping.
Fortunately, Chu Xianping quickly squatted down and continued speaking.
"I know that most of what you said just now was meant for me, and I also understand what you are thinking."
"Perhaps you won't listen to anything I say right now, so why don't we just make a bet?"
"bet?"
Du Chang narrowed his eyes: "What are you betting on?"
"hehe."
Chu Xianping smiled and said, "Let's bet on whether the situation will change within three days."
"I think the real Yama will show up again within three days."
"Brother Du Chang, do you believe it?"
