Chapter 800 Pangolin
The name Piaoxiangyuan sounds quite vulgar. With such a name in Lin'an and the capital, people with a little status and literary talent would probably not bother to go there.
But most people in Xi'an are straightforward and firmly believe that vulgarity is elegance. Moreover, the various singing and dancing performances in this brothel are also very good.
Therefore, whether in the previous dynasty or after the establishment of the new dynasty, Piaoxiangyuan has always been the largest brothel in the local area.
There must be someone behind the scenes, but I don’t know who it is.
Before they even entered the door, they saw a row of women welcoming guests in front of the building. This kind of thing was not presentable, it just added to the atmosphere and romance.
After entering the first floor, there are performances by dancers and musicians, and even orchids. The hall is decorated very luxuriously.
But it is very different from the capital, it is obviously rougher and has some barbaric style.
Qian Jie took the two of them to the third floor, which was also the highest floor, with a familiar look on his face. Just as the madam stepped forward to stop them, she saw the banknotes handed over.
So he immediately changed his tone with a flattering smile, "Gentlemen, please come to the private room on the third floor!"
"Hmph!" Qian Jie had seen this kind of people treating people differently based on their status many times, so he snorted and didn't bother with them.
He waved his fan and said, "As long as you can keep us happy today, there will be plenty of money!"
The madam loved to hear this, and she waved her handkerchief as she sent them up to the third floor, asking the girls to come out and meet the guests.
The higher the floor, the better the quality of the girls, some of whom can even write poems and articles.
Zhang Ping'an followed behind, observing as he walked.
Each room has a nickname, and the door is tightly closed. There are eunuchs guarding the door, so the privacy is very good.
After arriving here, it is Qian Jie's home court.
"You, you, and you, stay here. Find a few more people who are good at playing the piano."
Qian Jie picked out a few people he liked and kept them to serve him. Only then did he reveal a bit of his ruffian nature that was rarely seen in his daily life.
No matter how generous and unrestrained he is, he comes from a prominent family, and it is easy for him to socialize in such occasions.
Zhao Renzhi was not very interested in this kind of prostitute, but he did not refuse it.
After observing the surroundings, he asked someone to open the window near the window.
The food and wine were served quickly, and as the soft music sounded, it wasn't long before these women became familiar with Zhang Ping'an and his companions, and asked about their origins with sweet smiles.
Zhao Renzhi said something half-truthful and half-false, slightly belittling the identities of several people.
The women were also well-informed. They covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and pretended to understand something. "So you're here with Lord Zhang on his western tour of the capital," they said. "The distinguished guests look unfamiliar. They don't look like locals, nor do they look like traveling merchants. They have an air of authority about them. You must be distinguished guests of Prefect Cao."
"I'm just following along to make a living," Zhao Renzhi said with a smile, turning his wine glass.
With these women keeping me company, telling jokes or local anecdotes from time to time, time passed quickly.
When the moon is at its highest point in the sky at night, it is also the busiest time in the brothel. Those who are interested will stay in the inner room for the night.
Zhang Pingan and his companions dawdled for so long that the women thought they would definitely stay overnight.
Such a young, dignified and generous guest is considered to be the best. The three of them were secretly happy when they saw an attendant come in and whisper something in the ear of the youngest man.
Then the three of them stood up and left. Several women giggled and pulled their arms to try to keep them.
"I'm sorry, my dear ladies, but I have something to do today. Let's come back another day!"
Qian Jie smiled, folded his fan, and followed Zhang Pingan and Zhao Ren downstairs.
The three of them rode their horses and soon returned to the inn.
The lights in the hall on the second floor were bright at this time. After the three went upstairs, they saw a man who was tightly tied up all over and did not struggle or move.
He raised his head and took a look when he heard the noise at the door, then lowered his head again.
Just one eye contact and Zhang Ping'an knew that this man was wild and unruly.
However, now that the person is in their hands, it will definitely not be easy to escape.
"Are you the pangolin? It took us a lot of effort to catch you!" Zhao Renzhi walked over, grabbed the man's hair without any hesitation, and looked at his appearance carefully.
