Chapter 1313 Never Use Money to Solve Things that Can Be Solved with Words
There is a brothel in Wenxi Street.
At first, Zhong Ziyu thought Liu Wei wanted him to enter the brothel. He thought about it seriously and wondered if the brothel was not open at this time.
Later he found out that he was going to a dance studio.
Different from the derogatory connotation associated with brothels, although the dance studios are full of people, they look a little more stylish.
Before entering, Liu Wei specifically said to him: "Aren't you very knowledgeable about Baxiufang in Guyong Mansion? There must be no problem here. You have some confidence in yourself. Come on."
Zhong Ziyu was quite speechless: "I didn't go to Baxiufang very often before."
Liu Wei said "Hey": "Then what do you do on weekdays?"
Zhong Ziyu said seriously: "Teach."
Liu Wei: "..."
Liu Wei recalled carefully, and seemed to remember that this man's old profession was indeed teaching. He taught during the day and killed people at night. His spare time life was a bit too fulfilling.
Liu Wei pushed him: "Go in, you are not allowed to come out until you have inquired about what you should inquire about."
Zhong Ziyu finally went in, and the daytime dance studio was also opened. The one Zhong Ziyu went to was called Huacui Pavilion. It looked very big and the business was good.
As soon as you enter the door, you hear the sound of tunes coming from inside. Walking further in, you can see dozens of pretty women dancing in the center of the lobby. They are all dressed in charming clothes, and their movements are full of elegance. .
Huacui Pavilion is very similar to a brothel, but the girls in it are all entertainers rather than prostitutes. They sing, dance, recite poetry, and can accompany guests in all kinds of entertainment, whether elegant or vulgar, but there is one taboo, which is sleeping with them.
When Zhong Ziyu entered, no one greeted him, so he casually walked to the area with the largest crowd. When he walked over, he saw a beautiful girl and a scholar who were spelling couplets inside. , also attracted many people around to talk and laugh.
Zhong Ziyu curiously looked around at the crowd and found that there were very few people who really looked like scholars, and more of them looked like businessmen from out of town. They were wearing rich clothes, but every move on their face and body was... , all that comes out is the smell of businessmen’s copper.
Zhong Ziyu didn't come here to have fun, he remembered his mission, so after wandering around for two times, he began to lock in the target.
He blocked a female student in the corner near the stairs on the second floor.
The girls in the dance studio make a living by selling dances, but dancing is not something you are born with. Huacui Pavilion is the largest dance studio on Wenxi Street, and there are naturally many ladies who teach here.
The person Zhong Ziyu blocked seemed to be in her forties and dressed very low-key. After being stopped, she was a little unhappy and stared at this strange young man with wary eyes.
Zhong Ziyu whispered a few words to her, but the other party shook her head and left without even hearing what he said.
Zhong Ziyu stopped her again and said a few more words, but the other party was still unhappy. Finally, Zhong Ziyu stuffed her money, and the other party stopped and started talking to him.
It costs money to inquire about information. Liu Wei gave Zhong Ziyu twenty taels before entering the door. He made it clear that there was only so much, so save the money. He also kept urging him to never use money to solve things that can be solved with words. Money is really not easy.
Zhong Ziyu now spent ten taels in one breath, but it was still effective, because the tutor lady really gave him a lot of answers.
After staying in Huacui Pavilion for more than half an hour, when all the money was gone, Zhong Ziyu finally came out.
When he came out, Liu Wei first looked at the purse around his waist.
Zhong Ziyu immediately took off his purse and turned it over to show her that it was empty.
Liu Wei sighed from the bottom of his heart, and then asked a little tiredly: "Have you heard everything?"
Zhong Ziyu nodded, full of confidence.
Jiang's mother is called Wang. Wang is not a girl from a good family. She was taken into the Su family's concubine because landowner Su and his wife spent half their lives and only gave birth to a daughter. She had no heirs and had no heirs.
Before Mrs. Wang entered Su's house, she was a dancer. She had a graceful figure and exquisite dancing postures. She was once the pillar of Huacui Pavilion.
Of course, the original Huacui Pavilion was not as big as it is now. At that time, there were not many entertainment businesses in Xijin County, and there were only one or two brothels. There were even fewer dance studios that felt similar to brothels. And little.
Huacui Pavilion was located in Sujia Lane at that time. When collecting rent every month, Landlord Su could see the girls from Huacui Pavilion. Of course, the Wang family was among them.
Later, naturally, one wanted to take a concubine and have children, and the other wanted to cling to powerful people, so they hit it off.
Landlord Su was very satisfied with Wang at first, because Wang looked much healthier than the frail and sick Mrs. Su. He believed that they could give birth to a son, but unfortunately, Wang also gave birth to a daughter.
But Wang didn't believe in evil. She hoped that a mother would be more valuable than her son, so she never gave up. She went back to Huacui Pavilion several times and begged her former sisters to find some medicine for her. "At that time, we all advised her not to give her husband that kind of medicine, that kind of tiger and wolf medicine. How many times would she take it without draining her life? Besides, Landlord Su was not young anymore at that time. She was just trying to force her out. , and your body is damaged like this, isn’t it costing people’s lives?” The lady who taught the training was like this
Said.
"What happened next?" Zhong Ziyu asked.
"Later." The teacher's wife sneered: "Later she didn't listen. She said that as long as she gave birth to a son, she could take his place and become the wife. We read her as sisters and found medicine for her, but before she could wait, If she gets pregnant again, something will happen to the Su family..."
There are many versions circulating outside about what happened to the Su family. The most authentic one is of course the one that offended the powerful people in the capital.
But in Huacui Pavilion, someone put forward a different view.
The lady who taught me laughed: "It is true that there are powerful people in the capital, but there are other secrets here."
Zhong Ziyu was confused: "Huh?"
Teach the lady to rub her fingers.
Zhong Ziyu understood and gave her another ten taels of silver.
The teacher didn't say it directly, but took Zhong Ziyu to another place and met another person, an old woman who was a cook.
The old woman had a good memory. When someone asked her about past events, she would not hide it and just treat it as gossip. "Other people don't know, how can people of our age know? Ever since Mr. Wang gave Su Dizhu the medicine, Su Dizhu's complexion became worse and worse. When we saw him again later, he looked like that ghost It looks like a zombie in the storybook, with a white face and a black mouth, and is too thin to look good.
, Our boss said at that time that with such a bad body, let alone giving birth to a son, he might not even be able to get up in the future. So, after Mrs. Wang found out that she had no hope of having a son, she...just..."
"Just what?"
"He colluded with his brother in Linxian County to trick Landlord Su."
"A plan?" Liu Wei's face was full of sarcasm when he heard Zhong Ziyu say this: "I'm afraid it's a fatal one."
Zhong Ziyu looked at her, not surprised: "Have you guessed it?" Liu Wei sneered: "Why else would you ask about this? Ever since I found out that Ms. Jiang is the sister of Hongfen girl, I have been wondering where Hongfen fell. Bu Tiandi, no matter how you calculate it, it is all caused indirectly by the Wang family. One is his biological mother, and the other is his half-sister. They have not seen each other for ten years and have not had much contact with each other.
, Jiang went out of his way to avenge Hongfen? is it possible? "
Zhong Ziyu raised his eyebrows: "But she did do it." "So there is a reason." Liu Wei said in a cold tone: "Guilty, uneasy."
