Chapter 114 Buying an Oiran for a romantic encounter?
Xie Zhuoning raised his hand to ask everyone in the room to leave, then he said with a serious look, "I was negligent."
She only remembered that in the previous life, Xiao Bicheng hosted a banquet for Yang He in Huai'anfang, but she forgot that it was she who suggested coming here, saying that they should find a quieter place to avoid being disturbed.
But now Xiao Bicheng changed the venue for the banquet for Yang He to the Crimson Building.
In this way, all their arrangements here are in vain!
"What should we do now?" Yang Lie asked with a frown.
After a brief thought, Xie Zhuoning said, "Let's prepare for the second plan."
The so-called layout is to consider all possibilities and then find the best solution.
So from the very beginning, she did not pin all her hopes on one possibility.
Just as she finished speaking, Murong Yan hurriedly pushed the door open and the first thing he said was, "Miss, do you have money?"
Seeing him running with sweat all over his forehead, Xie Zhuoning thought something urgent had happened, so he quickly took out all the money he had with him, "Ten thousand taels, is that enough?"
Murong Yan shook his head.
"I still have some." Song Yuqiu had recently received a lot of dividends from Niyifang and Baiweixuan. He was living a very comfortable life and had several thousand taels of silver on him.
But unexpectedly, Murong Yan still shook his head with a serious expression.
It looks like not only something happened, but something serious!
Xie Zhuoning thought about it, then took off all the valuable items he was wearing, including the jade pendant, and gave them to him.
Murong Yan made a rough estimate and nodded, "It should be enough."
At this moment, Xie Zhuoning remembered to ask, "What does Mr. Murong need so much money for? But what went wrong?"
Murong Yan shook his head and said, "Today, the courtesan in Jianghonglou is being auctioned off. The one who bids the highest price can have a night of pleasure with her."
"ha?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhuoning looked at him in disbelief, stunned.
He wanted so much money just to buy the courtesan and have a night of pleasure with her?
Murong Yan looked at her with a frank gaze, "Miss, can you trust me?"
Xie Zhuoning restrained his expression, looked at him seriously, and nodded solemnly, "I believe it."
Just one word, no more questions.
He was a man of extraordinary strategy, and could have chosen anyone to be his most powerful minister, but he chose her among a group of powerful princes and grandsons of the emperor.
How could she not believe him?
Murong Yan smiled slightly when he heard this and whispered something in her ear.
Then, without waiting for her to say anything, he immediately took the silver and accessories and left in a hurry.
Yang Lie was extremely anxious when he saw this. "Miss Xie, don't forget what we are here for. At this critical moment, he still wants to take the money to shoot the Oiran. Are you going to let him do it?"
"Why not let him go? Mr. Murong must have his reasons for doing so."
Xie Zhuoning sat down again calmly and began to eat melon seeds leisurely, even more relaxed than before.
Seeing her change so quickly, Song Yuqiu thought, "Sister Zhuo Ning, what did Mr. Murong tell you?"
Xie Zhuoning did not hide it, "He said that he just saw Prince Yong also go to the Crimson Tower."
"So?" Song Yuqiu and Yang Lie still didn't understand.
One of them came from another world, and the other from the south, so it was understandable that they were not very clear about the situation in Beijing.
Xie Zhuoning patiently explained to them, "Xiao Yi, the prince of Yong, lost his mother when he was born, and Yong was always very kind to his son. Among the playboys in the capital, apart from Jiang Yao, the prince of Zhao, Xiao Yi is the most famous one."
If you listen to more gossip, you will hear from time to time that Xiao Yi is spending a fortune in some brothel.
"Xiao Yi went to the Crimson Mansion, he must have gone after the courtesan. Mr. Murong is planning to kill someone with a borrowed knife."
After hearing what Xie Zhuoning said, Song Yuqiu scratched his head and felt that his IQ was not enough.
"No, he just said one sentence and you knew what he wanted to do?"
How did they communicate? Thoughts?
Xie Zhuoning looked at her strangely. "He has explained it so clearly. Is it hard to understand?"
Song Yuqiu: “…”
Fortunately, she got hold of a powerful figure as soon as she arrived, otherwise, she would not survive more than three episodes in this world of intrigue and deception.
At this moment, the Crimson Building.
The price of the courtesan has already been raised to one thousand taels.
Xiao Yi put his legs on the table and raised his hand, determined to win. "Five thousand taels!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
With this price, let alone a whole night of shooting, you can even buy two courtesans!
Just when everyone thought the deal was settled, someone in the private room on the second floor suddenly said, "Five thousand and one taels."
He didn't add much, but he was able to surpass Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes. How could he accept this?
"Six thousand taels!"
"Six thousand and one taels."
The flesh on his face trembled, "Seven thousand taels!"
"Seven thousand and one taels."
Xiao Yi was furious, "Ten thousand taels!"
"Ten thousand and one taels."
"Bang--"
Xiao Yi smashed the table on which he rested his legs and went upstairs.
This man kept suppressing him, and it was obvious that he was not coming for the courtesan, but for him.
He rushed up to the second floor with great momentum, but just in time he saw the person in the box coming out of the door and walking towards the third floor.
Still want to run?
He continued to chase upwards, and saw the man bowing to a heavily guarded door and saying, "Master, I have done what you asked me to do. I will take my leave."
The guards at the gate looked at each other in confusion.
Who is this?
The people of Xiao Bicheng thought they were Yang He's men, so they did not move.
Yang He's men thought they were Xiao Bicheng's men, so they did not move.
This scene took on a different meaning in Xiao Yi's eyes.
Especially when he saw Xiao Bicheng's guards, his guess became more certain.
He wondered how someone could dare to target him like this, it turned out to be Xiao Bicheng!
He immediately waved his hand and said, "Break the door open for me!"
Indoors.
Xiao Bicheng exchanged pleasantries with Yang He for a while and were about to get down to business.
Outside the house, there was a loud noise and the sound of swords clashing.
He immediately looked unhappy, "What's going on?"
The guard replied, "It was Prince Yong who insisted that you were targeting him on purpose and wanted to ask you for an explanation."
Xiao Bicheng's eyebrows were twitching.
As for that idiot Xiao Yi, he was too lazy to even find any fault with him, so why did he deliberately target him?
"Your Highness, I think we should stop here today." Yang He stood up and saluted.
Although he didn't say anything, he already felt a little unhappy in his heart.
He hadn't made up his mind to stand there, and his appointment was a secret one.
But now that Prince Yong has come to the door, if one sees him with the eldest prince, wouldn't one think that he has already sided with the eldest prince?
Or was this something the eldest prince deliberately arranged?
No matter which one, it is not advisable to stay here for too long.
He called his confidant and immediately left through the secret door quietly.
Xiao Bicheng never expected that after finally getting Yang He to come out, he would end up ruining everything because of that idiot Xiao Yi.
He was so angry that his face turned blue. "Throw that idiot out of here!"
Places like the Crimson Building have secret passages leading directly to the outside, making it convenient for distinguished guests who do not want to reveal their identities to enter and exit freely.
Yang He walked out of the secret passage and came to a hidden alley.
When he was about to leave, he saw a beautiful woman being bullied by two thugs.
She clutched her clothes tightly, looking pitiful, "No... don't come over..."
Yang He took a step indifferent and prepared to leave, but the moment he saw the beautiful woman's face, his eyes suddenly widened!
