Chapter 90 No one can provoke
Hearing the report of the bodyguard, the wine next to the king completely woke up. He jumped up from the couch and said, "Little rabbit, I knew that he would cause trouble for me sooner or later."
The office building became noisy for a moment, and the rapid footsteps came. Manchang and Han Derong also came one after another. The bodyguard of the house received a notice from the Kaifeng government, and they could report to the king and the bodyguard leader.
"Your Majesty, something happened to the young son." Man Chang stared at him and asked in a hurry,
"Well, I heard that it's Kaifeng Mansion now."
"Do you want me to prepare a horse for you?" Han Derong also asked,
"Hop down." On the contrary, the king calmed down. The matter had not been figured out yet. Why did he hurried to Kaifeng Mansion? He waved his hand to stop the anxious people. The most urgent thing here was to say Lu Shenyan and Manchang,
Lu Shenyan watched Tong Guan grow up, and the feelings here naturally need not need to be said; and Man often took Tong Guan from Wang to Xixia, and he liked this teenager very much. Although the two people on the battlefield had fought, it was also because of this that he felt that Tong Guan was a general.
Hearing that something had happened to Tong Guan, everyone couldn't help but be anxious,
"Lu Shenyan, let Han Derong go to Kaifeng Mansion with you. Find out what's going on first and then come back to report."
Lu Shenyan answered and urged Han Derong: "Go, go." He walked out of the study quickly,
Wang looked at Zhou Meimei, who was staying there. He seemed to be stunned by the sudden change. "Xiao Zhou, if you are tired, go down and rest."
"I'm not tired, I'm not tired." Zhou Meimei answered hurriedly,
"Then go and order a pot of tea, and I'll talk to General Man."
Zhou Meimei simply agreed to do it in a hurry. Wang Bong and Manchang were talking while waiting for the news that Lu Shenyan and others brought back.
Man often didn't want to drink tea. Seeing Wang's expressionless face drinking tea slowly, Man Chang asked, "Your Majesty, why don't you go and have a look?"
Wang shook his head, and he quickly calculated in his mind: if you want to find the most famous place for food in Bianjing City, it should be Jinxiu Tower; if you want to find the flower street and Liu Lane in Bianjing City, looking for flowers and Liu's place, it should be Futianyuan; if you want to find the most beautiful place for prostitutes and the best place in Bianjing City, then you have to say it. It's Huixian Building,
We all know that the beautiful songs of Huixianlou are good, and the prostitutes are also very beautiful, but the first building is a place where prostitutes don't sell their bodies, or it is an elegant place to play. Listening to music, the wine and tea money is the most expensive.
Song prostitutes are free to listen to songs, but there is a tax increase when buying wine and tea. The restaurant earns money for drinks, and prostitutes also sell wine by singing songs,
Song people not only love drinking, but also a large part of the financial expenditure of the Song Dynasty is supported by wine tax. In order to receive enough wine tax, the production and sales management of wine in the Song Dynasty was quite strict. Wine tax has become one of the important taxes of the country at that time. The liquor administration of the Song Dynasty mainly included the monopoly of wine, the monopoly of wine music and the tax of wine. Without wine, brewing cannot be carried out. The court monopolizes the production of wine and can also effectively control the tax of wine.
Of course, Wang knows the reason for this. When he heard that the place where Tong Guan often goes is Huixianlou, he is worried about Tong Guan just to want to know whether he has made wine and meat friends.
But since Tong Guan went to such a suspected elegant place, why did he still kill people?
This starts with Tong Guan quietly leaving the royal palace,
The reception banquet next to Wang was announced at noon. At that time, Tong Guan had already made an appointment with his friends for today's bureau. There were many people in the king's mansion. Not to mention preparing a reception banquet temporarily, it was not a question to temporarily arrange a banquet for hundreds of people.
Tong Guan was also happy today. He suddenly saw so many people coming back from the house. In those years, he didn't feel anything when he was young, but now everyone sees him as a young man. What's more, when talking about the bravery of Tong Guan and Wang's attack on Xixia, Tong Guan couldn't help but feel a little fluttering,
In the middle of the banquet, Wang Zong left to meet Xin Zan. Everyone waited for a long time to know that the people the prince saw was very important. Originally, Tong Guan had wanted to run away for a long time, but Wang Zong looked at Wang Zong. When Wang Zong was not here, he was also a young man. He always had to hold on to the scene, so until the banquet broke up, Tong Taking advantage of He Zhu, it was appropriate to fold, and Zhong Shidao and others did not pay attention to themselves, so he quietly went to the house immediately,
He cheated Lu Shenyan and went out of the house generously. Which bodyguard dared to stop him? Moreover, the king did not order the bodyguard to look at him, so no one took the bodyguard at the door of the king's house seriously,
The Huixian Building is not far from the royal palace. From afar, you can hear the sound of silk and bamboo music from the building. This building was only repaired this year. The decoration is not inferior to the alum building at all. There are more than 60 pavilions upstairs, and 70 or 80 pairs of tables and stools are scattered below,
There were two buddies standing in front of the door of the first building. They were wearing square-top headscarves, purple shirts, and silk shoes and socks under their feet. They stood there and were polite to the passers-by. They arched their chests and bowed their heads and bowed to the restaurant.
As soon as Tong Guan walked to the door, the clerk said, "Mr. Tong, you're here. Please come inside quickly."
Tong Guan swaggered into the Huixian Tower. When he entered the door, he looked around,
"Dof, this way, this way." Tong Guan followed the sound, and Gaoqiu greeted him on the edge of a table near the stands.
Tong Guan came close to the front, and there were four or five people on a table. Most of them were around the age of sixteen or seventeen, and most of them knew him. They were descendants of officials in the court. Among them, Gao Gongji, the highest title was the prince.
"Why, the prince is also here. I said Gao Yu, whose team are you following?"
Kang Gonghui and Gao Gongji are brothers, both of whom are the nephews of Empress Gao,
"Anyway, our surname is Gao. Who is different from whom?" Gao Yu met Tong Guan, just like the guy at the door, nodded and bowed to bring Tong Guan to a teenager,
Sitting next to Gao Gongji was a little fat man. His round head looked like a bowl buttoned on top of his head. He rattled, and the flesh on his chest trembled together: "It depends on who gives him a lot of money. Anyway, I support Brother Gongji, and I bet on Brother Gongji this time. That's fifty taels of silver."
Gao Gongji curled his lips and said, "Zhu Zizhen, you are still not happy when you are stingy. It's just fifty taels. If you have Gao Yu's water, I'm afraid you can win a few hundred taels of silver at that time."
"Hey, he also said that I was stingy. When didn't I pay the bill in Xianlou..." The little fat man, who was called Zhu Zizhen, said unconvincedly,
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you arguing about? Whoever says it must be the prince's palace winning." Tong Guan was unhappy when he heard it. They talked about the Cuju competition between the royal palaces in a few days.
Zhu Zizhen said, "Is it still your Zhennan Palace win? If the royal Quju Conference can be attended by the Zhennan Palace, it will give you enough face. Your prince won't give a few princes face, and Mr. Doesn't Mr. Tong give us some face?"
Gao Yu pulled Tong Guan and said, "That's right. At that time, you, like me, will casually release water to Prince Gao Gongji. Now his odds are high, so we will all make a lot of money."
"Go, go." Tong Guan shook off Gao Yu: "I knew you guys were uneasy and kind-hearted. I won't play with you anymore. I'll treat you for this meal." With that, Tong Guan took out two taels of silver from his arms and put them on the table,
This is all the style of everyone's brother. You know, drinking and eating in the restaurant in the Song Dynasty, the cost of four or five people is only dozens of cents. Even if this high-end and elegant meeting is first building, it can't cost three or four hundred cents. One taels of silver is about three hundred yuan, and these two taels of silver can be doubled.
Seeing that Tong Guanzhen was angry, a tall and thin teenager sitting next to Zhu Zizhen took the silver and stuffed it into Tong Guan: "Dofu, they joked."
These people are the oldest, but they are only ten** years old,
"Yes, yes, yes, we're kidding. Why is Dolph serious?" Gao Gongji changed his words and said to Zhu Zizhen,
"Well, it's a joke. Come on, drink." Zhu Zizhen immediately understood Gao Gongji's intention, and Gao Yu hurriedly poured a few wine,
Dong Guan looked left and right again,
"Dof, what are you looking for?" Gao Yu asked while pouring wine,
"How to choose such a place." Tong Guan frowned and said that there were many people in this place. I'm afraid he would be unhappy if he told his godfather.
"Well, I also said that it's all waiting for you. We know that you came late today, and naturally you came out late. There is no cabinet upstairs here." The thin and tall man was called Han Shijin. He answered Tong Guan's words,
"Alas, it's boring to just drink." Zhu Zizhen muttered, and then looked up to the cabinet and said, "Why hasn't the singer come yet?"
"Immediately, immediately, a few princes do it a little, and Miss Hua will come right away." The man responded politely,
"It's Miss Hua again." Tong Guan asked,
"Well, I don't believe it. We came to praise her on purpose, but we didn't have a smile at all. Today, I have to pack up her well. Zhu Zizhen said and tied the long sleeves made of good fabric."
"Who are you dealing with? Maybe Miss Hua doesn't like you. It's good to sing a song for you." Gao Gongji laughed and said,
After a while, a little girl walked over with the piano in her arms. She lowered her head and saluted several teenagers on the table. Then she sat on the side and sang. The little girl was fifteen or sixteen years old. She was not arrogant. She just came here to play and sing for a short time, and she was full of sad things, so she sang the song and tactful. Coupled with her slightly childish and crisp voice, she actually attracted the attention of many people who eat and drink in the restaurant.
Several teenagers didn't notice this. Halfway through the girl's singing, Zhu Zizhen patted the table: "Os, all right, men come here for fun. You can't sing something happy."
The girl still bowed her head: "I can't."
"Bang." Zhu Zizhen took advantage of the wine and threw the glass to the ground. The shopkeeper hurried over and said, "Ouch, Mr. Zhu, this new girl is ignorant. I'll accompany you. Xiao Er, do you have the pavilion you want?"
A clerk ran down from upstairs with a pile of cleaned up bowls and chopsticks: "Yes, yes, there is, there is just a room upstairs."
The shopkeeper smiled: "Sues, the downstairs doesn't count. The upstairs has prepared new wine and dishes for you. Please come upstairs."
Zhu Zizhen squeezed his eyes at Gao Yu, and Gao Yu pulled the girl surnamed Hua: "Let's go upstairs to sing to the men."
The girl twisted this but couldn't break free, and the shopkeeper didn't stop her. The flower girl was half pulled up to the single room by Gao Yu. The clerk asked the shopkeeper while cleaning up the leftovers on the table, "Do you want to go up and have a look?"
The shopkeeper shook his head: "Well, these people can't afford to provoke either of them."
