The Chinese New Year is coming, and Pingkangfang, which used to be constantly singing, has become more and more lively. From noon every day, people who gamble, listen to music, watch songs, play with the horns, and those who just come to satisfy their appetites are endless.

In order to capture the wallets of distinguished guests, the various brothels and Chu Pavilions in the shop have also tried their best to find out. Almost every day, new dishes are launched, fresh songs and dances are available every day, and new "clever prostitutes" are waiting for Enke to discover and support!

But no matter how many tricks each brothel Chuguan plays, the most profitable every day, and the most luxurious carriages parked in front of the door will always be Meilou, which belongs to the Ashina family. This place covers an area of ​​30 acres, consisting of four small buildings connected to each other, a water pavilion and corridor, will always be the "holy land" that all the romantic young men of the Tang Dynasty yearn for the most. There are even rumors that it is not a pity to come to Chang'an but not to enter the Daming Palace to be an official. It is a pity that he did not enter the Meilou as a loving guest for a night. He had been to the capital for vain!

"Actually, Meilou is just like that. The dishes inside are too greasy and there is not much fun. The ladies' appearance is far less beautiful than Chulou, Minglou and Xianglou next to them!" Some people who have been there expressed disdain for the rumors. However, often after only a few days of this statement, as long as a friend raises his arms, he will follow him to Meilou again, completely ignoring the jokes of his companions.

There is no other reason. Many things that Meilou can provide are never available to other brothels. For example, the most timely and accurate information in Chang'an City! For those who do not need it, this information may only be fun, but for those who need it, it is often worth tens of thousands of yuan!

"Fourth brother, it's your turn, it's your turn!" Several gorgeous young men shouted with alcohol in the third floor of Chunfeng Pavilion in Meilou. Beside each of them, there was a blond Persian woman with blue eyes, who clapped desperately in her unskilled Chinese, as if a middle-aged fat man called the Fourth Brother, was the world's number one beauty.

"Come, come!" The middle-aged fat man, known as the fourth brother, pushed away the Persian dancer sitting in his arms, stood up, and bowed to everyone with a smile. Then, he picked up five round-headed golden arrows of two feet long and threw them at the long bronze pot eight steps away with a smile. The whole set of movements seemed to be flowing.

"Ding!" The first long arrow entered the pot, making a pleasant sound, like a chime.

"Youchu!" The young masters all stroking their hands together and cheering for the first prize of the fat fourth brother's opening door. (Note: the first prize is called "Youchu", the second prize is called "Lianzhong", and the full prize is called "Quanhu".)

The fat fourth brother nodded to everyone, smiled and threw the second long arrow at the bronze pot. Another crisp "ding" sound, the arrowhead steadily threw it into the heart of the pot.

"Single!" The cheers became louder and louder, and the eyes of the young men and brothers looking at the fat man were full of admiration.

The game of throwing pots seems simple, but it has extremely high requirements for eyesight, arm strength and wrist flexibility. Especially when everyone is drinking until half-hearted, it is not easy to get one of the five branches. However, the fat fourth brother easily took a "single" to see how powerful his skills are.

The fat fourth brother was not proud at all. He took a deep breath and threw the remaining three arrows into the bronze long pot without any pause. He heard a series of crisp sounds of "ding" and "dingding" and "dingding" all fell into the pot.

"All pot, all pot! Brother Yanshou (Fourth Brother) has a good method, but it is actually another full pot!" The young men and the Persian dancers clapped and cheered, each of them being so excited that they were fascinated by the excitement.

"Dingdong, dingdong, dingdong..." The music prostitute who was responsible for scoring the score immediately stretched out his jade arms and rang the chime. In an instant, the solemn ancient music and the stiff cheers of Persian dancers were heard one by one, making people confused and confused where they were.

After a moment, the chimes stopped and the sound of the lingering sound lingered. The young men raised their glasses together to celebrate the fat fourth brother. The fat fourth brother was not pretentious, and first grabbed the wine cup and fucked it. Then, he looked at another fat man with a body similar to his size, but with blue eyes, "Ano, Wu is waiting for advice."

"Arnold, Arnold!" The dancers applauded and encouraged Arnold in stiff Chinese. The eyes of the man looked at him were hot.

"Arnold, Arnold." The young master clapped and gave Blue Eyeball a trick, "Give me a triple-trip, and then punish the fourth brother to drink!"

According to traditional rules, five arrows hit the pot, which is already full. However, in order to increase the fun, the young master set two challenges: "Four Continents and One Continents" and "Three Continents and Two Continents". The so-called "Four Continents and Two Continents" refers to four long arrows throwing into the pot, and the last one passes through the ear holding of the copper pot. "Three Continents and Two Continents" means throwing three arrows into the pot, and the last two long arrows, one on the left and one on the right, each passing through the ear of the pot.

Unfortunately, everyone shouted enthusiastically, but the blue-eyed Arnold was timid before the fight. He stood up with a smirk and bowed to the surroundings. "The fourth brother is very skilled, and I am content when I can catch up with it halfway. I am both able to understand and dare not think!"

After saying that, he also grabbed five long arrows and threw them at the pot. Sure enough, only the second arrow and the last arrow barely entered the pot. The other three arrows all deviated from the target.

"Oh" the boys and buddies were disappointed and slapped their hands. The Persian dancers present also looked away, unable to bear to see the blue-eyed Arnold's embarrassing appearance with a flushed face.

"What's wrong, Your Highness Arnold, you're out of standard today!" Only the fat fourth brother Wu Yanshou knew that the blue eyes' level of throwing pot would not be so different from that of him. He hesitated for a moment and asked with concern.

"It's okay, I'm just a little drunk today! I lost, accept the punishment!" Blue-eyed Arnold picked up the wine cup in front of him and swallowed the wine inside in one breath. Then, he asked the Persian dancer beside him to fill the wine cup and drink it all again.

This generous move won him a lot of money. The young men and brothers applauded and cheered, and paid tribute to Arnold's gambling and wine. Then, they began to inspire the next drinker to stand up and challenge the record that the fat fourth brother Wu Yanshou had just set.

The fat fourth brother Wu Yanshou was far-reaching but more careful than others. Taking advantage of the opportunity that everyone's attention was shifting to others, he smiled and raised his wine cup to touch Arnold, and asked in a low voice, "Someone has bullied you recently? Do you want me to call me a few brothers..."

"No, Fourth Brother, I appreciate your kindness!" Arnold shook his head, the smile on his face was so bitter, "It's all my grudges from my grandfather in that life. I just think about it occasionally and feel uncomfortable."

"Your grandfather?" The fat fourth brother Wu Yanshou frowned slightly, and then the cold light flashed in his eyes, "It was the big cannibals who bullied him, grandma, and they were rebelled against them! This is Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, not Jiling City. It's not the turn of a group of big cannibals to walk sideways. Give me the name of that guy, and I will..." (Note: Jiling, now a city in Iran. After the first death of ancient Persia in Dashi, the Tang Dynasty once supported the Persian prince, restored the country here, and established the Persian Protectorate.)

"Fourth brother, no need, really no need!" Blue-eyed Arnold was so moved that tears rolled around his eyes, but he gritted his teeth and waved his hand, "This is a national hatred. It will be useless to knock down one or two big cannibals. I just recently saw those big cannibals selling them in Chang'an as their own treasures."

"Crash!" The Persian dancer sitting next to Arnold accidentally knocked over the copper pot containing wine and sprinkled the bright red wine all over the ground. However, she stood up very rudely and hurried away with her face covering her face.

Seeing this, Blue-eyed Arnold felt more and more sad. He grabbed the wine pot, turned his mouth to his mouth, and swallowed the siphon.

When the young men who were close to the seat saw him, they didn't know how to comfort him, so they had to pretend to turn a blind eye.

In the past 100 to 20 years, the Dashi army has been invincible in the old place of rest and destroyed countless countries. It is a blessing that the children and grandchildren of Persian kings, such as Arnold, were able to escape to the Tang Dynasty after the country was destroyed. The princes and princesses in other countries either became slaves to the Great Cannibal or the food for lions, and their end was terrible. (Note 2: After the second demise of Persia, the king fled to the Tang Dynasty with his family. Later, he changed his surname to Li and completely integrated into China.)

"Stop, stop, Arnold, don't rush to get yourself drunk first! I have something to ask you?" As the backbone of a group of young men, at this time, the fat fourth brother Wu Yanshou actually has a way to unlock the Persian prince Arnold. While holding the wine pot with his hand, he whispered to the bottom of the matter: "You said that the glass brought by the Great Cannibal recently was all made by your Persian imperial craftsmen? Then do you know how to make it? The Great Cannibal travels thousands of miles to transport glass, and the price will definitely be high. If we set up a workshop in Chang'an and make the same glass to sell at the cost, we will ensure that those Great Cannibals have lost all their money!"

"This..." The Persian prince Arnold's eyes lit up and he slowly lowered the wine pot. "I don't understand, but I can ask someone. Someone should know about the Persian nobles who fled to Chang'an with my grandfather back then."

"Then go find it. After finding it, let's pay together and arrange for the people below to do it. Those great cannibals are all wealth-lovers. If you ask them to lose all their money, they will definitely be more uncomfortable than him who killed his whole family!" The fat fourth brother was very eloquent and immediately spared no effort to cheer up Arnold, the prince of Blue-eyed Persian.

There were also other smart people present. A young man named Pei came over with a wine cup and smiled and begged: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, what's the good thing? Take me and take me with me. I can't take anything else from my house, but there are many craftsmen!"

"Don't mess around, you may not be able to make money. I just want to help Arnold exclaim!" The fat fourth brother pushed the other party away, emphasizing with righteousness.

"Together, together!" The young master surnamed Pei refused to give up and continued to hold the wine glass, "Money is something outside of your body. It is the most important thing to give His Highness Arnold this anger."

"What's the matter, what's the matter? Take me and bring me with me!" Another young man named Zhao didn't react slowly, and followed him over and raised his glass with a smile. "Fourth brother, I have always been your leader!"

"Then let's go together. Arnold first finds a craftsman who knows how to make glass. After the Chinese New Year, let's make an appointment to decide the specific details!" The fat fourth brother Wu Yanshou has always been happy. Seeing Pei Qi and Mr. Zhao insisting on joining, he decisively raised his wine glass and met the two of them.

The three brothers then looked at each other and laughed, and they all saw the light of Kaiyuan Tongbao in each other's eyes. However, they ignored the thoughts of the Persian prince Arnold, as if this person was a earth doll and wooden stalk.

"Fourth brother, Pei Qi, you'd better be cautious!" A young man named Liu drank a little high and whispered to the side, "Those big cannibals dare to fight against Liushen Trading Company, there may not be no noble support behind them. I heard that the three families of Baoguo, Kuiguo and Qiaoguo have now withdrawn from Liushen Trading Company."

"Aren't we mixed in now? When we find a craftsman and build a glass kiln, this wave of suppression of Liushen Commercial Bank will have long seen the result!" The fat fourth brother Wu Yanshou smiled and shook his head disdainfully, "Those big food vendors are just a handful of manure forks in the hands of others. The manure has been shoveled. Who can hold the smelly manure forks in your hands every day?"

This example, although it is a little dirty, it is vivid enough. It immediately caused people around to burst into laughter. Then, everyone stopped watching the results of the new round of throwing pots, and they gathered together to start talking about the recent "ring battle" between the big food vendors and the Liushen Trading Company.

The fat fourth brother Wu Yanshou wanted this effect. He just made jokes while raising the topic in the direction he needed without any trace. Soon, he dug out more crucial details.

Excluding those tricks that fool the court's rules, there are nine to ten real shareholders of the Liushen Commercial Bank. Seven of them have been found out by everyone. They are Zhang Qian, the Secret Art Supervisor, the Gunpowder Office of the Military Arts Supervisor, Guo Nu, the Chief of the Military Arts Supervisor, Ren Cong, the Chief of the Military Arts Supervisor, the Chief of the Military Arts Supervisor, Ren Cong, the Duke of Baoguo, the Duke of Kui, the Duke of Qiaoguo, and the former rich man Wang Yuanbao.

Recently, a mysterious figure suddenly took action, burning Wang Yuanbao's glass workshop first and cutting off the supply of glass bottles from Liushen Trading Company. Then, he supported the Dashi merchants and took out a large number of glass products and authentic Dashi flower dew to fight with Liushen Trading Company. Then, he acquired all the Liushen Trading Company shares held by Wang Yuanbao.

Under a series of sudden blows, the Liushen Commercial Bank was already shaking. However, it was raining all night. At noon the day before yesterday, Duke Duke Duke Duke Duke Duke Duke Duke Duke Duke Duke Duke Duke Duke Duke Duke Duke Duke Duke Duke Duke, Duke Kui Duke Duke Duke Duke, and Duke Qiao Duke, withdrew all the funds previously invested by the three companies! He directly gave the bank a pot to remove the firewood!

Now, the other small shareholders who had originally invested could not hold on. They rushed to the business bank, blocking the shopkeeper Guo Renyi, who was on the surface, and demanding the withdrawal of the investment. Guo Renyi was so busy that he almost pulled out his knife on the spot and wiped his neck.

Fortunately, Guo Nu's father Guo Juxian was quite righteous. He refused to let his son break his trust and ruined his reputation. He took the initiative to borrow funds to respond to the emergency, which allowed Liushen Commercial Bank to survive. But anyone with a discerning eye could see that Liushen Commercial Bank, which was once famous in Chang'an City, only had two ways to change ownership and close the door. No matter which one he took, the blow would probably not be too light for Zhang Qian, the real owner of Liushen Commercial Bank.

"I don't know which noble man is who has such a big deal!" The more the men and brothers communicated, the more complete the information they got. The more complete the information they got, the more admiring the ones who took action. One by one, he gave a thumbs up at the night sky outside the window.

No one felt sympathy for Zhang Qian who was about to suffer a major blow and Wang Yuanbao who was almost destroyed.

The circle of noble people in Chang'an City has always had their own rules of the game. No matter what means Zhang Qian used to get in, he had to find his position and abide by the rules in the circle. He was willing to not worship the mountain or take the initiative to find a boss to burn incense, and he would inevitably be taught a lesson!

If you hold on, he will have a place in the circle of nobles in Chang'an in the future.

If he couldn't stand it, he deserved it.

To be honest, the person who took action only destroyed or took away his Six Gods Business Store was for the sake of the master sect behind him and the Emperor Yingtian Shenlong. Otherwise, what was waiting for him to Zhang Qian would be more than just losing money? If you don’t do it well, you will have to take the position of Xiang County and County Magistrate!

…………

"I don't know which noble man took the action. This trick is tied up one after another!" Since the news arrived at Meilou, it would be impossible to become a secret anymore. Soon, a series of admiration sounded in some deep-seated courtyards in Chang'an City.

"The Liushen Commercial Bank has closed? Or can't afford to return it to all shareholders?" Qin Huaidao, the old Duke of Kaiguo County, Licheng, raised his eyes and stared at his grandson Qin Jiaheng, who had just returned from Meilou, and asked in a deep voice.

The young Duke Qin Jiaheng was shocked and quickly put away the admiration on his face and explained in a low voice: "No, it's not closed yet. Azu, I'm not gloating. After all, no matter who is, it's hard to get benefits when encountering the same blow. I admire him. The person who took action is so smart that he can't move. Once he moves, he will be thunderous and will not give Zhang Shaojian a chance to breathe!"

"Then Liushen Commercial Bank has closed down? Or can't afford to return the money to all shareholders?" Qin Huaidao turned a deaf ear to his grandson's explanation. He continued to raise his eyes and questioned sternly, as if he had an irreconcilable grudge with Liushen Commercial Bank, and he had to watch it go bankrupt with his own eyes to be at ease.

"No, no!" Qin Jiaheng was shocked again, and quickly stood up and asked carefully, "Azu, can Liushen Commercial Bank still turn around? It is said that the noble man who took action, but..."

"No, don't be busy applauding the other end, no matter who he is!" Qin Huaidao glared at his grandson fiercely and interrupted in a deep voice, "In addition, if others are unlucky, our Qin family will not get any benefits at all. You don't need to be so happy!"

"Yes, the child knows that he is wrong! Thank you for his teachings!" In his forties, Qin Jiaheng is still like a child, blushing and admits his mistakes. He is afraid that his reaction will slow down and his family rules will fall on his butt.

"In life, don't be gloating, and don't put down the wrongdoing, especially when it's not good for yourself." Still thinking that my grandson's attitude of admitting mistakes was not correct enough, Qin Huaidao raised his leg and kicked the other person's butt, gritted his teeth and scolded him, "Our Qin family, since your great-grandfather's generation, did not expect children and grandchildren to make achievements again. They did not expect to go further. But the requirements for children and grandchildren should not be self-righteous, especially in

When you are a little stupid, at most someone will cheat you of some money. The family business left by your ancestors is not defeated in 180 years. And you are too smart and you will be in a random position. The Qin family will fall for a few nights! Thinking about how smart Xu Jingye was back then, his grandfather wanted to strangle him to death several times, but he couldn't do it. In the end, his grandfather's grave was sank by the Great Sage Queen Zetian. After I died, I didn't want to end the same thing."

"No, no! I really didn't pretend to be smart. I didn't even listen to others treating to drinks these days. After returning home, I couldn't hold back my mouth and muttered a few times in front of you!" Qin Jiaheng was scolded and blushed, lowered his head and explained in a low voice. It seemed as if he had really made a huge mistake and was about to shame his ancestors.

"Just know, read more, listen more, and talk less. People, just react slowly when encountering anything. If it is too fast, you may not be able to see clearly!" The old Duke Qin Huaidao then felt relieved, put his hands on his back, and walked out the door with his dog holding his waist. It looked like he was carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders.

"Azu!" Although he disliked his grandfather's nagging, Qin Jiaheng never dared to underestimate his grandfather's experience and wisdom. After chasing for a few steps, he pushed away his servant, and personally reached out to support his grandfather's arm. "What you mean is that Zhang Shaojian must have passed this level, right?! Why do you look forward to him so much? He seemed to have no family background before and had no relatives in the Tang Dynasty."

"Your great-grandfather is just a county lieutenant! The great-grandfather of the Cheng family next door was just a rich man in the countryside back then." Qin Huaidao rolled his eyelids and responded weakly.

"Yes, yes!" Qin Jiaheng could not refute, so he could only nod. However, in his heart, he was determined not to compare Zhang Qian, who had been lucky enough to climb to the position of secretary's junior supervisor, with his great-grandfather Qin Qiong, whom he admired the most.

As if he guessed the thoughts in his grandson's mind, Qin Huaidao sighed and asked the same question for the third time, "The Liushen Commercial Bank has closed? Or can't afford the money and return it to all shareholders?"

"No, no, I don't know where he got the money!" Qin Jiaheng was stunned again, shook his head with confusion: "In theory, the Ren family's industry is actually the Duke of Bao. The Duke of Bao himself withdrew his capital, so the Ren family could not spend much money to support him. And Guo Juxian, although he was rich, he had a lot of children and grandchildren in his family, and it was impossible for him to put all his treasures on Guo Nu alone. Except for the Guo family and the Ren family, he was in the Tang Dynasty..."

Halfway through his words, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Azu, what you mean is that Duan Huaijian did not withdraw his investment, but pretended to show it to others. It is impossible, "Gou Duan" is not a waste of time!"

Qin Huaidao rolled his eyelids and refused to comment.

"That is, there is someone who supports him behind his back! This person would rather offend the princess of the town than advance and retreat with him? Who is so bold and will not die?" Qin Jiaheng hesitated and shook his head, unwilling to believe his inference.

"Yeah, yeah!" Qin Huaidao coughed a few times, shook his grandson away, and walked towards the backyard with big strides.

My grandson is good at everything, but he is too stupid. But it’s good that my children and grandchildren are a little stupid. For families like the Qin family, it’s a blessing to be stupid!

…………

"Yeah, yeah!" Coughing proudly, Wang Maozhong finally entered the Zhang family through the gate with the face of his master and brother, walked all the way to the main hall of the Zhang family, and placed a small box heavily at Zhang Qian's feet.

"Is your master Li Fengyu?" Although he had repeatedly checked the famous posts Wang Maozhong had handed in with the butler Ren Quan, Zhang Qian was still unwilling to believe his words and frowned and continued to interrogate.

"King of Linzi, my master is the King of Linzi and one of the shareholders of your Liushen Commercial Bank. I won't mention his name. You can tell by yourself when you go out!" Wang Mao Zhongzhi was so proud that his chin was almost raised to the sky. "My master is not convenient for me to come here, so I sent me to send you a New Year gift in the name of visiting my brother."

"Thank you, Master!" Zhang Qian had known for a long time that Li Fengyu was a royal family, but the other party did not take the initiative to say it out loud, and he was so happy to pretend to be confused. At this moment, he heard Wang Maozhong report to his house, so he had to stand up and frown and bow to Chang'an City.

In the past few days, shareholders of all sizes have withdrawn their shares. Li Fengyu has no reason not to know the embarrassment faced by Liushen Business. However, this person did not follow the trend, but secretly revealed his identity and sent Wang Maozhong to give him gifts. What was the case?

While confused, Wang Maozhong held a letter with his body temperature in front of him, "This is the letter my master gave to you, you will know after reading it. He said that the gold in the box is not a New Year gift. If you are a savvy god, you will look down on you. The gold in the box is the spare money he lends you to emergency. If you can't use it, just return it to him after the New Year. If it is not enough, you can still speak at any time. Since he has become a shareholder of Liushen Commercial Bank, he has not encountered any trouble and is so the reason why you can carry it yourself."

After saying that, he bowed and left!

"You..." Zhang Qian had already held up a lot of words to ask in his stomach, but when he saw Wang Maozhong's shaking his head and tail, he swallowed the words back into his stomach.

"Senior brother, this Li Fengyu is righteous!" Ren Cong quietly approached and sighed with his thumb without waiting for Wang Maozhong's footsteps to go far. "I really didn't expect that he was not even afraid of the princess of the country."
Chapter completed!
