Chapter one hundred and forty-six returned with anger
Most high-end brothels have the same layout, and Zhongqinmen is also a knock-on place. However, the roof is made of bamboo poles and oil cloth. Then the roof is hung, lanterns are hung to make a closed greenhouse.
Screen seats are arranged below the entrance on the first floor. This is the hall. After guests come in, they drink tea and listen to music. If they really serve the nobles, they will also invite famous musicians to perform. It makes them quite elegant.
The second floor is a private room, a place for guests to drink and have fun. If you want to be lively, you can open the window to see the lobby below, which is also a pleasure.
The same is true for Qinguan, but it was already dark. Those who came to seek fun had no temperament to listen to music in the hall. The guests were either in the back, or drinking and having fun in the private room.
Below, Lu Wancai was facing the tit-for-tat with Song's mother before saying threatening words, but when he heard an angry shout from the second floor, Lu Wancai was stunned and then looked up suddenly.
I don’t know when I was running, a window on the second floor had been opened, and a man hung the windowsill and looked here. After all, it was night and the lights were deliberately hazy. Lu Wan looked up and didn’t see clearly.
"I really lose my moral character, I actually came to this Qinguan to make a fuss!!"
Another shout, and then the man turned around. Lu Wancai heard the sound clearly this time. This man could indeed reach him. It was Chen Zhizhong, the immediate boss, Shuntian Mansion.
Lu Wancai cursed in his heart, and the stairs slabs were heard over there. Chen Zhizhong, the mansion, had already run up from there. Chen Fucheng was naturally wearing casual clothes. He walked quickly to Lu Wancai, pointed at Lu Wancai's nose and scolded:
"Who asked you to come, who gave you the text to seal you up,"
The shaking fingers were about to poke on the face, Lu Wan took a step back, suppressing the anger in his heart, and reported with his fists:
"Master, the four servants in our government office were detained by this yard, and the subordinates are here to ask for people."
"Oh, Lord Lu can't speak like that. Those murderers came up and asked Qinguan to buy a wooden sign with thousands of taels of silver. The slave also felt strange. This must be a bandit who pretended to be a servant and blackmailed money. In order not to let them ruin the reputation of Shuntian Mansion, the boy below arrested people and was waiting to send them to Shuntian Mansion tomorrow!"
Lu Wancai glared at his eyes and was about to scold him, but Chen Zhizhong turned around and said with a smile:
"Mom Song is considering Shuntian Mansion so much. Chen must tell the prefect that he should thank Mom Song for her consideration.
Hearing the two of them’s answers, Lu Wancai’s heart immediately became cold. Sure enough, Chen Zhizhong turned around and his face turned cold again, and he shouted in a deep voice:
"Didn't you hear Mother Song say she's a bandit? She's still pestering her around here and do whatever she should do!"
"The Lord of the House, there are indeed four servants from the government office being detained here. They are a servant who came with him to report to the humble official. This is certain, this old man is talking nonsense, sir."
"Shut up!! Why would a person like Song Mama talk nonsense? Even if she is a servant in our mansion, she is going to blackmail money so blatantly, then the official will be punished after the rebellion. Lu Tong, you will not be confused for a long time, so as not to delay your future. Go quickly and don't delay the business of the Qinguan!"
Every statement from Lu Wancai was blocked by Chen Zhizhong. After all, he was his own Shangguan. Although he had been defeated recently, he was still Shangguan. Lu Wancai did not dare to talk back. After hesitating for a long time, he took a few deep breaths and clasped his fists and said:
"Master, maybe there is a misunderstanding in this matter. What if the Beizi takes the four servants back to discipline?"
This was already convinced, and Chen Zhizhong's face showed a look of satisfaction. He turned to look at Song's mother. The young woman's face turned a little cold at this time, and she said:
"Officials protect each other, who knows what will happen? There is such a group of evil men in the city. I don't know how many fellow workers have blackmailed. I must send these bandits to the yamen and ask the prefect to deal with it. If I don't give an explanation, I will go to the Ministry of Justice to beat the drums and give justice."
The folding fan in Lu Wancai's hand hit the table next to him, pointing at the mother Song and shouting angrily:
"You woman, I am promoting the peace sign for the sake of peace among my fellow employees. The officers were also sent to say hello. If you are so sarcastic and sarcastic, do you still have the king's laws in your eyes?"
Halfway through, he was interrupted by Chen Zhizhong beside him. Chen Zhizhong glanced at the face of Song's mother and shouted coldly:
"What a safe sign? Why haven't I heard of the Master of the Constitution? If you make a fuss here again, I will come to me to participate in you tomorrow. Even if the governor is on the side of the court, I won't let you go, get out quickly!!"
Mother Song smiled again on her face and looked at Lu Wancai slowly from the side. The originally quiet hall became noisy. Many windows on the second floor were pushed open, and many people looked down. Many people were still surrounded by a fan head, pointing fingers. Hehehe.
"Mr. Chen is righteous and makes the decision for the people!!"
I don’t know who even shouted and kept getting defeated. In this situation around me, Lu Wancai’s face had become so bright that he only opened his mouth and didn’t say anything. In the end, he clasped his fists and shouted.
"Mr. Lu, since you came last time, the girls in Qinguan have been talking about you! Should I go up and take care of you and discuss it!"
Behind him, the attentive greeting from the mother Song came again. The second floor and hall of Qinguan were immediately burst into laughter. Lu Wancai was extremely embarrassed and angry, and his pace became faster and faster.
Wang Si and Li Gui did not follow in. When they saw their boss coming out with a dark face, they burst into laughter behind them. They knew that things were not done, and before they could ask each other, they heard Lu Wan gritting their teeth and saying:
"Let's go back and find Lord Wang and let him vent our anger."
"Brother Wang, after Lu Jiji, he has been an official for almost twenty years. He has never been so angry. If he doesn't breathe like this, he will probably be furious if his heart and lungs are irritated!"
When Lu Wancai arrived at Wang Tong's house, the people Wang Tong brought had not yet dispersed. Lu Wancai came to this place and immediately made all the anger he suffered in the Qin Pavilion.
Wang Tong stood up and gave him a cup of tea, and said with a smile:
"Brother Lu has worked hard this time. Let's drink a little tea to calm down and tell me everything I encountered in the Qinguan from beginning to end."
This cup of tea is to quench thirst and to express gratitude. Wang Tong and Lu Wancai both knew that Lu Wancai went to the forefront this time, just to explore the other party’s background and see who was behind the other party.
Lu Wancai drank tea and began to tell the story. Wang Tong listened attentively. After he finished speaking, Wang Tong thought about it, but did not ask, turned to the side of General Tan said:
"A dozen people on your side will all call over tomorrow!"
General Tan agreed, and Wang Tong then asked:
"Brother Lu, Chen Zhizhong, the mansion inheritor, is also a role in Shuntian Mansion. Which god will make him so hard to curry favor with?"
"It's hard to say. Shuntian Prefecture is a place where the plywood is angry in the capital. All the gods and immortals have to flatter each other."
"How long has Qinguan been open?"
"This. I need to check the foundation. It used to be a good place, but the name was not as good as it is today. Lu Wan said hesitantly. Li Gui's interface next to him added:
"The reputation was only three months after the rise. Lao Dinghe, who was in charge of purchasing money and grain in the yamen, was familiar with him. His man liked these places the most."
Wang Tong nodded, raised three fingers and said:
"Behind this Qinguan is a big boss. This is one of them. This is not long after this big boss was prominent. This is the second. The words "the evildoers extort fellow employees. It should mean that the Qinguan is not impulsive, but has long been a plan. I am afraid that our people will suffer this secret loss in the morning and evening!"
After analyzing, everyone nodded. Wang Tong stood up and walked a few steps, and said again:
"All the helpers outside the city are mobilized into the city. Wang Si and Li Gui, how many people can you pull out to fight? Whether they are on duty or not?"
"A few free guys can always call out,"
"Okay, I'll call you all. The official who should pay the money will pay. I'll go and ask who is the backstage of Qinguan tomorrow morning?"
After hearing Wang Tong say this, Lu Wan, who had calmed down, hesitated for a while and stood up and said
"Brother Wang, the people who are afraid of being unlucky behind the yard of this level in the capital are afraid of being unlucky. The four detained officers are nothing more than suffering from flesh and blood. When they are sent to the yamen, the next thing is that if they offend big men for such a thing, they will not be able to do so."
Wang Tongha laughed out loud, waved his hand and said:
"I'm not afraid of anyone, but to make a mistake. Now Qinguan is clearly trying to give us a warning. If I grit my teeth and suffer this loss, I don't have to expect to push the other safe brands. Besides, I'll give me Wang Tong's popularity, and I must get it back ten times."
After hearing this, Lu Wancai, Wang Si and Li Gui didn't know what to answer. It was Lu Wancai who was the leader, and the three of them continued to worship.
The next morning, it was a coincidence that nearly 300 people were taken in the palace, and this shortage required someone to find a substitute as soon as possible. Gao Yi led the people from the East Factory to go directly to Ci'en Temple outside the city to select eunuchs.
Without the support of Dongchang, it was really difficult for Wang Tong to find out who was behind Qinguan. Wang Tong simply ignored it and led General Tan and Li Wenyuan to walk around Qinguan in the morning.
At noon, Zhang Shiqiang inquired about other news, "Xicheng and several large gambling brothels in Nancheng have joined forces. If Qinguan can take over the Ping An brand, the Qinguan will be used as a dividend in the future."
After spending a normal afternoon in the Humao Martial Arts Hall, Wang Tong went home and wiped his body, changed into a long gown, and went out the door. It gradually became dark.
