Xiao Hechuan arrived at Feihua Tower on time. He was received by the owner of Feihua Tower, who took him to the best private room in Feihua Tower. This private room was not open to external guests and was only opened when distinguished guests came to visit.
The shopkeeper had already prepared 50,000 taels of silver notes in accordance with the instructions from his superiors and put them in a box, a full stack.
In the whole of Jeju, being able to take out these 50,000 taels of silver notes at will shows extraordinary strength. However, Feihualou is the most famous and high-end restaurant in Jeju, with a considerable profit every year. For Helian Jing, these 50,000 taels are nothing.
"Mr. Xiao, our master has said that we don't have enough money. Please feel free to ask for it. If there is anything you need our cooperation in, Feihualou will also fully support you!"
Right now, Xiao Hechuan really needs to rely on Helian Jing's power to redeem Shui Yuntian from the brothel. A cash cow of her level can create unlimited profits for the brothel madam. Without a certain background pressure, people may not let her go.
"Excuse me, can I use the token given by the prince at will?"
The shopkeeper thought for a moment after hearing this and said:
"As long as you don't use it for official business, you can use it at will, but remember, don't do anything illegal!"
In other words, he could use this token for anything except bribery. The most taboo thing for the higher-ups was for subordinates to use their status to bully others, and Helian Jing was a prince. If he used his privileges for bribery many times and the matter got to his father, he would be charged with forming a clique for personal gain.
Isn't the biggest taboo for a superior to be that his sons start fighting for power and killing each other while he is still alive?
How is this different from hoping for your own death? Anyone would be angry!
However, the word "doing evil" is used in a somewhat spiritual way. If Xiao Hechuan really is a person who likes to do evil, would Helian Jing still think highly of himself?
"Don't worry, I know what I am doing. Please tell the prince that he will definitely see the value that these fifty thousand taels of silver can create for him in the future!"
As Xiao Hechuan spoke, he picked up the silver and stood up, leaving very quickly and efficiently.
After he left, the shopkeeper immediately ordered:
"See what he did with the 50,000 taels of silver. Once you get the news, send a message to the capital immediately."
It’s not that he suspected he would use it for anything bad, but Helian Jing was really curious about his unique way of surrendering himself.
After Xiao Hechuan got the silver note, he naturally would not continue to waste time. If he took the silver note home, he would be too conspicuous and would easily be seen by Sui Sui, which would be difficult to explain.
But it is not safe to leave him in the academy. He is afraid of accidents, so he decided to go directly to Bi Bo Pavilion to redeem him!
After redeeming the person, he was directly arranged to go to Feihua Tower and asked to be raised by Helian Jing. He would do things for him in the future. If he didn't raise him, who would?
…
But it is a coincidence that Jiang Sui’s Beimoting Restaurant is not too far from Bibo Pavilion, so he has to pass by Bibo Pavilion every time he comes here.
Bi Bo Pavilion is a brothel built in the center of a lake. The lake is an artificial lake that was dug for the purpose of building Bi Bo Pavilion. It exists just to live up to the name.
Every time he passed by, Jiang Sui would be amazed from afar, because its landscaping was so beautiful, especially at night, when the entire Bi Bo Pavilion was brightly lit and full of extravagance. The colorful lights and buildings were reflected on the water, creating a perfect atmosphere.
It is worthy of being the best brothel in Jeju. The charges inside are also the highest and ordinary clients cannot afford it.
Because the Xiao Mansion is a bit far from South City, Jiang Sui always travels in a horse-drawn carriage. After finishing today's work, he took Ran Qiuzhe back to the mansion.
It was already afternoon and the flow of people on the street had increased. Several brothels were located on this street, competing for business and fighting each other openly and covertly. Behind each brothel there was more or less a certain amount of power, checking and balancing each other.
If nothing unexpected happens, the forces behind them should all belong to the powerful families in Jeju.
Running a large restaurant means there are too many things to do every day. Jiang Suizhen felt dizzy, so he opened the curtain of the carriage and prepared to take a look at the scenery in the distance to relax his tired eyes.
But at this glance, she caught a glimpse of a figure that could not be more familiar.
When Xiao Hechuan came to Bibo Pavilion, he changed into casual clothes because he didn't want to reveal his identity as a student of Baiyun Academy.
With his outstanding appearance and temperament, several brothels immediately noticed him as soon as he arrived on this street. The girls welcoming guests at the door waved to him one by one and even threw their handkerchiefs to him.
They have to deal with many clients every day, but most of them are wretched middle-aged men with ugly looks. It is rare to find someone of Xiao Hechuan's quality, so they would be willing to pay for him even if he costs them money.
But Xiao Hechuan ignored their attempts to recruit him and just walked towards a place with an expressionless face. That was the Bibo Pavilion.
But he probably didn't expect that in his past and present lives, he would be seen by his wife the first time he set foot in a brothel.
Jiang Sui asked the carriage to stop. She checked again and again in the carriage whether she had seen the wrong person, but there was no way she was wrong. The man who slept in the same bed with her and lived with her day and night was Xiao Hechuan!
He actually came to a place like this?
At that moment, Jiang Sui was filled with doubt and anger. She had never thought that Xiao Hechuan would one day set foot in a place like a brothel, even though his feelings for her were so sincere and passionate...
Jiang Sui still retained her rationality in her heart. She was not a foolish person who was obsessed with love. She watched him walk onto the bridge leading to Bibo Pavilion, and then walked in under the guidance of the madam.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't sad or upset. If she didn't care at all, she certainly wouldn't be sad or upset. But her feelings for Xiao Hechuan were genuine and she was ready to spend her life with him.
So she temporarily chose to convince herself that he came here perhaps for some other matter or mission.
But none of this makes sense? He hasn't entered the officialdom yet, and he doesn't belong to any party. Why is he here?
Suddenly I remembered that the top star of Bi Bo Pavilion seemed to be Shui Yuntian, the top courtesan who performed on the moat cruise ship at the Jeju Lantern Festival on New Year's Eve!
That night, by the moat, the two of them stopped to join in the fun. When Xiao Hechuan saw Shui Yuntian dancing, he was stunned for a while, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Could it be that he fell in love with Shui Yuntian that night? So he came to see her today?
A woman in love likes to have wild thoughts. All women cannot escape this, and Jiang Sui is no exception. It can only be said that she is more rational. If she were an irrational woman, she would have rushed in and grabbed her man's hair and started questioning him madly.
