Hidden in the court

Chapter 152 3 Swordsman

After a long struggle, Ji Mingshang was finally willing to let him go, but even after letting him go, he still pointed at his nose and cursed.

"Not only did you lie to me, you also kept it a secret for three years. How much do you worry about me?"

Zhao Yao retorted: "I am afraid too, just like you and your fellow villager. But you are different from her, you don't want to hurt me."

Ji Mingshang suddenly laughed, "From what you said, you two have known each other for a long time. Or, you already knew that she also traveled through time. So, when did you travel through time?"

But Zhao Yao smiled evilly after hearing his words, and looked straight ahead, as if he didn't hear the second half of his sentence, and replied: "I know him, not only do I know him, but I know him very well."

Seeing him like this, Ji Mingshang couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. It was still the same reason. Last time he smiled like this, several people died. But seeing him like this, he was relieved. These two people were probably at odds with each other, so there was no need for him to remind them.

"How did this woman offend you? Did she break the law?"

Then, Zhao Yao turned his head and returned to his usual extremely kind smile.

"What are you laughing at? You lied to me so hard before. You can't leave now. Brother Su, Lao Hu, and Luo Lin and I are all in Qingzhou now. We are investigating a case. You have to help, otherwise I won't forgive you."

"Is it about the temples in Qingzhou City?"

"Yes, is that why you do this?"

Zhao Yao shook his head. "It's not that I came here just for the sake of the market. I don't care about this. But I have nothing to do now, so I'm happy to serve you."

Ji Mingshang rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "I don't even know you, but you are saying one thing and thinking another."

Just as the two were bickering, Su Mengyang suddenly came over. It turned out that the group of fake monks had made some movement.

"They're gone."

"Come on, let's catch up."

It must be said that the night market life is indeed rich, but the behavior of this group of fake monks and fake Taoists is extremely consistent. They don't care about anything else, first of all, they eat a lot, as the saying goes, when you are full and warm, you will think about sex, most of these people go to brothels, and some are more direct and go directly to brothels.

Looking more closely, there are quite a few brothels in this place, but the environment is mostly not as good as those Ji Mingshang has visited in the capital, which is in line with the consumption level of these people.

Among them, the one who was selling to Ji Mingshang at the Temple of the God of Wealth during the day entered the largest one.

"Wangchun Tower."

Ji Mingshang said, "A brothel is not only a place for romance, but also a place for scholars like us to gather. For brothel girls to attract customers is a profound art. Not only do they need to have outstanding looks and talents, but they also need to be good at observing people's expressions and using various means to attract customers..."

However, Zhao Yao and Su Mengyang had no interest in listening to him.

The building in front of you has a unique architectural style. It is a three-story building with a wooden structure, carved beams and painted buildings, and flying eaves and corners.

At this moment, this place is bustling.

The brothel was brightly lit with music and singing. The brothel girls were dressed in gorgeous clothes, with pearls and jade in their hair and makeup on their faces. They were all beautiful and charming. They stood in front of the door, smiling and waving at passers-by; or sat in front of the window, plucking the strings of the zither and singing melodious songs.

The literati, the second generation of the rich, the second generation of the officials, the fake monks and the fake Taoist priests walking on the street were attracted by this charming scene. They stopped to appreciate the performance of the women and savored their unique charm. The women took the opportunity to show their skills, such as flirting, sending glances, whispering, or looking at each other affectionately. They were good at grasping every detail and using every action and expression to attract customers.

Seeing these people have already entered, Ji Mingshang became anxious, "In my opinion, this place is definitely not decent. Come on, follow me to find out what's going on."

After these words were spoken, not only Zhao Yao but also Su Mengyang didn't believe it.

"Why are you looking at me like that? What are you thinking? Rowling is still here. What can I do? Where is the trust between people?"

Su Mengyang hesitated a little, "Why don't you just not go? As the saying goes, wealth and honor cannot corrupt, poverty and humbleness cannot change, and might and power cannot bend..."

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Ji Mingshang.

"Stop, this has nothing to do with the three of us. He's a poor bastard, I'm a lecher, and you're a wimp... You can go."

The other two were silent...

After a long while, Zhao Yao finally spoke, "Do you have money?"

"Forehead……"

Ji Mingshang was stunned at first, then he said, "I left in a hurry this morning and didn't bring much money. I lost all of it in those temples. I have no money left."

Then he looked at Su Mengyang again, "Brother Su, what about you?"

Su Mengyang also shook his head, "No."

The three of them fell silent again, and suddenly, Ji Mingshang thought of that person.

"Someone just went in. I spent most of my money on him this morning. Why don't we go in and rob him first?"

Zhao Yao patted his shoulder and said, "Come on, I'll lend it to you. Remember to return it tomorrow."

"Beautiful, I knew you had it!"

Just as the two were about to move forward, they were stopped by Ji Mingshang, "Let's just pretend that what happened tonight never happened and don't tell Lin'er, okay?"

……

The three of them walked towards the brothel. When the girls saw them approaching, they came up to them enthusiastically and said in a delicate voice, "You three gentlemen are so handsome. You are really a blessing to us sisters. Welcome. Please come in and have a seat."

Their voices are all gentle and charming, making people feel pity and love when they hear them.

"Young Master, this is your first time in a place like this, right? Why are you blushing? Don't be afraid. We girls like people like you the most. There must be plenty of girls willing to accompany you!"

Zhao Yao was immune to this kind of talk, and Ji Mingshang had also developed antibodies. Only Su Mengyang came in blushing all the way, feeling embarrassed. The girls were not fools, so seeing this, they naturally wanted to chase after Su Mengyang and tease him.

"I'm a shy brother. This is indeed my first time here. I can't stand being teased. Just come at me."

It can only be said that the two of them still underestimated Ji Mingshang's proficiency.

Ignoring him, the two of them looked around.

The furnishings in the building are magnificent and antique. The first floor is where guests are received. There are exquisite mahogany tables and chairs, and some calligraphy and paintings on the wall, which are not expensive at first glance. In the corner are musical instruments such as guqin and pipa.

The second floor is the girls' boudoirs. The rooms are decorated warmly and elegantly, with flowers and plants planted outside the windows, giving off a fragrant smell.

It must be said that the women in this brothel are all beautiful and talented. Some of them are good at singing and dancing, and some are proficient in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. They are all the best of the time. They welcome guests with smiles, win favor with their talents, and keep people with tenderness and sweetness.
