Chapter 53: Bridge and lead the way
After being injured at home for a few days, Luo Yongsheng felt that his health had been healed a lot, and he couldn't help but sigh that it was so good that he was young.
During this period, Hou San visited him twice and told Luo Yongsheng that the land acquisition was basically settled, and it was almost impossible to relocate the original residents on this land.
"Hongzhou's residential land is expensive, with a total of 17 acres of land. If all of them are relocated, it will cost about 20,000 yuan."
This figure is already quite expensive. The two of them have all their wealth and they have only been cheated of more than 80,000 guan. Just getting land to accommodate them, and there are subsequent construction and purchase costs. Huang Sitong came out to negotiate a dock, and the rent cost for one year alone was as high as 5,000 guan.
This money is given to the Jiangnan Road Transportation Office, and no penny is left.
Luo Yongsheng had no objection to the money he should spend like this, and he gave the full power to Hou San to do it. He only asked Hou San for one thing.
"Can you help me introduce me? I want to visit our Hongzhou Governor Zhang Yan."
This request made Hou San stunned. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Brother Luo, let alone brother, I am a brother. Even my uncle may not be willing to take it. I will not be able to communicate with civil and military officials in the court. If you want to meet the governor Zhang, you have to rely on yourself.
However, although I can't help you get online, I can tell you that on the first day of the month, the fifteenth day of the month, the governor Zhang will go to Linjiang Book Garden to drink and study with our local official teaching teachers, juren and others in Hongzhou. You can think of a way to do this."
"I understand." Luo Yongsheng nodded and bowed sincerely: "Thank you brother for saving your life."
Hou San waved his hand and said goodbye and left.
"Linjiang Book Garden." Luo Yongsheng muttered, but he couldn't sit still at home for a quarter of an hour. He had to find a way to get in and then join the link with Zhang Yan.
And just as Luo Yongsheng was talking, Qingyan came in to change tea and asked with a smile: "How could the young master want to go to Linjiang Book Garden?"
"Go to meet someone." Luo Yongsheng was stunned, but "What, do you know this Linjiang Book Garden?"
"Go there and play the piano."
When Qingyan changed tea, her little face rose two clouds: "I went with my sisters."
Although the words were brief, the meaning inside Luo Yongsheng was not understood by anyone, and he immediately understood.
After all, literati and poets are men.
There is no cat that doesn’t eat fishy food. Besides, visiting brothels these days is one of the daily life, so what a big deal.
"On the first and fifteenth days of every month, Linjiang Book Garden held a poem and article banquet. Will they invite girls to come in the brothel in the city?"
"Reply to the young master, yes."
Luo Yongsheng closed his eyes. These officials, teachers, scholars and juren are all intellectuals. It is impossible to do such a prostitute in person. There will definitely be a dog-legged person responsible for contacting the center.
This matter is much simpler. You just need to find this middleman and you can think of a way to enter Linjiang Book Garden.
Looking at Qingyan in front of him, Luo Yongsheng asked, "Who brought you there when you went there?"
"Our pussy lady, sister Qin."
Luo Yongsheng nodded and said, "Let's go, take me to your piano building."
He was a man who could do whatever he wanted and could not bear wasting time. At present, Baishifan dared not delay and neglect. Although Qingyan didn't know what Luo Yongsheng was doing, she still obeyed everything and changed clothes and tied up her belt for Luo Yongsheng. The two of them took Cheng Wu and Cheng Jie out of the mansion and searched for the piano building.
Fortunately, the Qin Tower is not far away, only two miles away, and three streets are located in the bustling area of Hongzhou City. When the four arrived, the business was booming in the evening. Several waiters were so busy that they were not touching the ground. No one came to greet Luo Yongsheng and his party.
Fortunately, Qingyan had been here before, so she soon met a familiar sister who came up to say hello. While talking, the girls looked at Luo Yongsheng standing beside Qingyan.
"Where is Sister Qin."
"I drank alcohol before, but now I'm guessing I'll have a rest in the room."
Qingyan nodded, led Luo Yongsheng upstairs to search, walked to a wing room, and flicked his fingers.
"Who?"
A woman's voice sounded in the room. It could be heard that she had just woken up and her tone was a little hazy.
"Sister Qin is me, Qingyan."
The movement in the room became much clearer now, and a woman's footsteps sounded, from far to near, and soon arrived behind the door.
But when he heard the sound of the door latch moving, the door opened from inside, and a face of a thirty-year-old woman entered Luo Yongsheng's eyes.
Milfs are still charming.
It’s really strange. Those who work as a brothel in a brothel seem to be pretty.
"Oh, Qingyan, you're back. My sister thought that after you were redeemed by someone, you wouldn't even want to recognize your parents."
The woman named Sister Qin seemed very happy. She grabbed Qingyan's hand and asked about her warmth, without considering Luo Yongsheng standing beside her.
Such enthusiasm made Qingyan a little unnatural. She responded to a few words and introduced Luo Yongsheng.
"Sister Qin, I'm here this time. It's the young master in our mansion who wants to ask you to help me."
As he spoke, he let go and Luo Yongsheng greeted him in time.
"My brother Luo Yongsheng, I have met the shopkeeper Qin, I hope I will forgive you for not worrying about your rest."
Sister Qin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Who is I? It turns out that he is Mr. Luo. Mr. Luo's reputation is now very famous in our Hongzhou."
"It's just that bad-famous."
Luo Yongsheng laughed at himself. Since he won the lawsuit, Cao Degui and others also knew that there was no hope of asking for money. They put in a lot of effort every day to ruin Luo Yongsheng's reputation. This is a measure of this. Luo Yongsheng could only bear it by pinching his nose.
Who made him lose money?
"I only recognize money here. Mr. Luo is rich, but he is a distinguished guest in my eyes."
As Luo Yongsheng entered the house, Sister Qin was born as a madam, so she did not avoid letting strange men into her boudoir, and she greeted her very enthusiastically.
"Mr. Luo came here here, did he bring Qingyan back to visit his relatives, or did he get fresh and think about finding two girls to come back to his house for peace."
This joke made Qingyan blush and kept secretly glance at Luo Yongsheng, but found that the latter was still the coffin face and was unmoved.
"It's a joke from Shopkeeper Qin. I'm here. There is something important to ask Shopkeeper Qin to help you. Whether it's successful or not, there will be a heavy reward." Luo Yongsheng was straightforward and told the whole story about his arrival. Finally, he asked, hoping that Sister Qin could help and think of a way for Luo Yongsheng to enter Linjiang Book Garden.
After hearing Luo Yongsheng's request, Sister Qin glanced at Qingyan and knew in her heart that this must be the wind that the little girl had no door to her mouth, but she still pretended to be confused.
"The official Luo is entrusted to you. I am just guarding the brothel for the yamen. I have never heard of Linjiang Book Garden, so why......"
"One thousand stakes."
When Luo Yongsheng reported this number, he didn't even raise his eyelids, which really shocked Sister Qin.
What a big deal!
How much does it cost to redeem a girl in the brothel? The top card is only a few hundred guan, and a thousand guan. I can redeem seven or eight girls from her piano building.
It is said that Mr. Luo is rich and powerful, but he is really not at all empty.
The wealth was touching, Sister Qin fell into hesitation, and a sound rang in her ears again.
"One thousand five hundred stale!"
"make a deal."
At this moment, Sister Qin didn't even hesitate, and subconsciously spoke, and then smiled shyly: "Mr. Luo must not think too much, I just want to make a friend of you."
"Of course." Luo Yongsheng also smiled: "Shopkeeper Qin is a businessman, and I, Luo, are also a businessman, and I should make friends."
As he spoke, his eyes looked at Sister Qin from head to toe, which made the latter tremble.
Why is the look of this surname Luo so stingy?
"I will send someone to send money tomorrow. I hope that Shopkeeper Qin can help me figure it out soon. There is something to do in the mansion, so I will say goodbye."
After saying that, Luo Yongsheng simply stood up, but held down a Qingyan who wanted to get up.
"You may not have been back for a long time. This time, I will take it back to my parents' home and talk about family matters with my sisters. You can buy whatever you eat without being frugal. It's all mine."
"Thank you, Master."
