Chapter 98 The Song Girl I Bought
No wonder Gao Gonghui is in a hurry. After all, it was his own brother who had an accident. If it was a small matter, he would probably not detain the prince, but this matter was big or small, and the capital was only a big place. In the morning, the whole city knew that there was also a lot of noise in front of Kaifeng Mansion, and even the streets and alleys were discussed. It's this one topic,
The bigger the matter, the more difficult it is for Gao Gongji to sit still. Now it is difficult to be a prince. Not only can many people who can't make money from the royal family's cheap money, but even when they go to the street, they don't see the people dodge. The royal garden made in the past has a lot of money sent up every year. It's all because of the king's side to make a bidding. The bank gave people a loan again. Since Zhao Yu registered and listened to Wang's words, he didn't get any benefits.
What makes Gao Gonghui even more depressed are the princes. He still has the prince of the emperor, and he can't get a little grace from the emperor. Now it's better to get even a little bit of things. The prince's title can't get any protection. Like ordinary people, he should be imprisoned. What else can the prince do in the future?
After figuring out the matter, Gao Gong's resentment was concentrated on Wang's side. He went to the palace early in the morning. Gaotai's talk about the matter of the king's side was simply a perfect match. Anyway, Kaifeng Mansion should not be allowed to hold Gao Gongji. It is necessary to let people go first.
Seeing the Empress Dowager's decree, Li Shen smiled slightly. Originally, Kaifeng Mansion could not always detain the prince. He held the decree and said to Gao Gonghui, "Since you have come forward in person, and there is also the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager, it is easy to say about letting people go. However, I have to stay in this decree, and I can't let others say that Kaifeng Mansion has done anything. In addition, before the case is over, the little prince can't leave the prince's mansion at will, let alone the capital immediately. He can't open the palace at any time.
Gao Gonghui thought, it seems that you, Li Shen, are also afraid of something,
After a little time, Gao Gongji was brought out of the small yard. He didn't sleep well this night. Gao Gongji's eyes were swollen and he was listless. Seeing his brother Gao Gong painting in the lobby, Gao Gongji's eyes suddenly came to a god, "Brother, are you coming to pick me up?"
"Well, I know how to cause trouble." Gao Gonghui scolded, and Gao Gonghui hurriedly lowered his head and said nothing,
Li Shen sat in the lobby, and the official in charge of the paperwork wrote it down on a piece of paper. The Empress Dowager guaranteed that Gao Gongji was on bail pending trial, and noted some conditions. After writing, he handed it to Li Shen. Li Shen said, "Please ask the two princes to sign the pledge, and then you can leave."
The two people signed their names and pressed the handprint. Gao Gongji's hand shook, and he could finally go out. Although he did not suffer anything, compared with the life of the royal palace, this night was the same as in hell.
After throwing down the pen, Gao Gongji turned his head and left. Gao Gonghui followed him: "Brother, wait for me, my legs are soft."
"Why don't you have weak legs when you get into trouble?"
"Oh, if I knew that the little lady would die, what would I do to provoke her? By the way, brother, why don't you take Gao Yu away? The Cuju competition will start in a few days."
"Cuju, Cuju, what else do you know besides playing? Gao Yu is not a member of our house. What should I protect him for? Besides, you don't look at it. This matter is so big that you may have to find someone to blame at that time. I think Gao Yu is the most suitable."
The two brothers said that they went out of Kaifeng Mansion, and the entourage led the horse. The two brothers turned on the horse, and the entourage waved the whip and roared at the crowd to "dodge". Several horses left arrogantly,
Gao Yu and others saw that Gao Gongji was taken away and never came back. They knew that they were bailed out. Han Shijin and Zhu Zi were really down-to-earth. Since Gao Gongji could be released, he could do it himself. The only thing that was not reliable was Gao Yu. Why didn't the prince take himself away? Everyone else had relatives to meet, and so far there has been no one. When people come to see themselves, don't Su Shi want to be themselves?
In the evening, several servants came to the small yard and took three people to change places. Not only did they have a bed to sleep in the place where they lived, but they also prepared food and drink and let them bathe and change their clothes. Gao Yu was even more puzzled. Is this a broken rice?
The night is low, and the Huixian Tower, which is usually full of lights and lively, is particularly deserted today. The clerk greeted the guests at the door as usual, but something just happened yesterday. Many people were afraid of bad luck and waved their hands and didn't enter here.
The shopkeeper sighed. This unhappiness can't be passed in ten days and a half months. At least the case can be judged. The business here may slowly slow down,
Lu Shenyan was allowed to walk in from outside the store by the clerk. The shopkeeper quickly stood up and said, "Oh, isn't this Mr. Lu? What kind of wind blew you here?"
"Mr. Sun, you're welcome. I'm serving the order of the prince to come to see you."
Lu Shenyan was allowed to sit down by the shopkeeper Sun while talking,
"What's good to see here? Look, I don't even have a guest."
Lu Shenyan took out three silver ticket tables from his arms and retreated to shopkeeper Sun: "The prince knows that you will definitely be like this. If you have lost your life, your business must be affected. Yesterday, there was also our young son who was angry. The prince is sorry. You can take these first."
The shopkeeper Sun hurriedly pushed back the silver ticket. The fixed amount of this silver ticket of one hundred taels is three hundred taels. Usually, it is a banquet with dozens of copper coins. The flow of water in a day can't reach 100 taels a day. How dare he accept so much money?
Lu Shenyan's face darkened slightly: "Mr. Sun, are you looking down on me, Xiao Lu?"
Manager Sun hurriedly said, "Mr. Lu, what are you talking about? When you helped in Jinxiu Building, we were good friends."
Speaking of that year, it was about the Song Yingzong period. At that time, Wang's side was sent to Daliao to borrow troops, but the back house was uneasy. Yunxuan was locked up by the court, and Jinxiang Mansion was also confiscated. Only Cai Jing supported the teahouse. Lu Shenyan followed Cui Fu to support the Jinxiu Building, and then relied on some salaries next to the king to support the royal palace and wait for the king to come back. ,
At that time, the shopkeeper Sun was the old customer of Jinxiu Building. Lu Shenyan was diligent and made a lot of friends. Of course, these people did not know that the king could become the prince in the future, and Lu Shenyan also became the general manager of the royal palace, otherwise he would not have been appeased with him at that time.
Lu Shenyan smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, you're right. I, Lu, know that the business of this restaurant is difficult to do. Besides, how can it not affect such a big thing yesterday? As you know, our prince, you are kind-hearted and not a domineering and unreasonable person. You should accept these. Once it's time to face the court, you should You can say whatever you want.
"Okay, okay." The shopkeeper Sun did not dare to refuse. His excited lips trembled, and he took the silver ticket and put it in his arms: "The prince is too polite, that is, the prince is considerate of us. Look at those people, either ignore them, or we will say that if we talk nonsense, we will smash the restaurant. Alas, in fact, there is no matter of the boy here. At that time, Several people pulled the flower girl into the room, and Mr. Tong didn't even touch her hand.
Lu Shenyan nodded while listening. Yesterday, he also heard that he was about it. He still muttered in his heart whether Tong Guan had caused trouble.
The shopkeeper Sun approached Lu Shenyan again and whispered, "I told you that Mr. Tong came late yesterday, and the previous princes drank a lot. When he went upstairs, he almost did things with the strength of wine. This girl could not live. This is what I saw with my own eyes. At that time, Mr. Tong went out. We The toilet here is in the backyard. This time, the boy went to Banzhuxiang. When he came back, the girl just jumped down in front of him. I saw that the boy's face turned white..."
"So, there is nothing about my young son here." Lu Shenyan really felt a little sorry for the three silver tickets,
"Mr. Lu, you can't say that. Look at the identity of those young masters yesterday. How dare I tell the truth. Mr. Tong was with them, and his glory was ruined. But don't worry, when he opened the court again, I proved that Mr. Tong came late at that time and went out later. He was not at the scene at all."
"Cough, Mr. Sun, you keep the silver ticket. What should you say?"
After all, it's a silver ticket. That's money. Lu Shenyan smiled and said, "That's right, Mr. Sun, I have something to ask you for advice. I heard that this girl surnamed Hua was sent by the Salesian Bureau."
When Mr. Sun heard Lu Shenyan's question, he suddenly raised his vigilance and said, "Mr. Lu, why do you think of asking about this?"
"Hi, I went to the Ciyou Bureau some time ago and wanted to ask for some manpower in the house. You also know that there are many people in the palace. As a result, the girl of the right age I went to found her. What I gave me was some twelve or thirteen-year-old children. How to serve people at this age makes me look like the Salesian Bureau."
Manager Sun smiled and said, "You have been the manager for so many years. Your royal palace wants people, and theci bureau is almost free. Do you dare to ask for money? Get a girl of the same age and find someone to teach you to play and sing, you can sell it to a restaurant as a singer. A girl can sell 30 taels of silver."
He opened his five fingers and said, "Thirty taels, my clerk is only ten taels of silver a month, which is enough for me to hire three guys."
"It's so expensive." Lu Shenyan asked in surprise,
"That's right, but you have to buy it. The court levys a wine tax. If we want to make money, we have to sell more wine. This prostitute can sell double the wine on one table. Thirty taels of silver have good prostitutes to work for three or four months, and I will earn it back. I can let them leave some rewards for myself. In this way, they will work harder. Besides, they all have a deed of sale, and I won't lose money if I sell it again.
Lu Shenyan curled his lips and said, "Are you selling wine or people?"
"We can't sell people, and we can't compare with the Sales Bureau of Sales. We can't support these prostitutes who buy this. In case they break their appearance, they will lose money when they get old, not to mention that it's better now. This time, my grandson has lost a lot of money."
