[Red Chamber] Come for a hexagram?

Wang Ren turned around and saw Shi Yeye's figure, stepped forward a few steps to stop him, and said in a low voice, "Master Shi."

Shi Ye looked back and saw that it was Wang Ren, so he stopped, cupped his hands and replied, "What's the matter, my lord imperial envoy?"

"Hey, I just want to ask, who is that person?" Wang Ren whispered.

Following the direction Wang Ren's index finger was pointing at, Shi Yeye saw a middle-aged man in light-colored clothes, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then waved to another person: "Master Li, do you remember who that man is? "

Wang Ren: Hello!

The official that Wang Ren had never seen before stepped forward, glanced at the middle-aged man, and said, "I have met Mr. Shi, and that is Lu Cai, the general judge in Yangzhou."

Shi Ye nodded, then looked at Wang Ren.

Wang Ren smiled and said, "Thank you." After speaking, he bowed his hands and said goodbye.

Shi Xingye was stunned for a moment, then looked at Master Li beside him, who also looked at him blankly.Shi Ye stroked his beard, a little confused.

When Wang Ren returned to the hotel, he first went to Yinxiang's room to find someone, but there was no one there.Wang Ren waited in the room for a while, feeling a little bored, so he didn't bother to wait any longer.Go straight out and find someone.

After a divination and the direction, Wang Ren headed west, but what surprised him was that before he met Shisan, he saw Lu Cai, the judge.This Lu Cai was still wearing the same light-colored clothes as he was going to mourn, but with a smile on his face, a jug of wine in his left hand, and a happy face.Standing on the street, he happily called a carriage, got into the carriage crookedly, and went straight to the west.

Wang Ren paused for a moment, then called a carriage and followed from a distance.

The car went all the way to the west until it came to a small building in the most mixed area in the west of Yangzhou. Then Na Lu got out of the carriage and was greeted by a woman into the small building.

Wang Ren also got out of the carriage not far from him and followed.

It's just that Wang Ren just walked those few steps forward, and after he saw clearly what kind of small building it was, he stopped in fright and dared not go forward.

There were quite a few Yingying and Yanyan standing at the door of the small building and on the second floor. Although they were dressed properly and their movements were not so provocative, Wang Ren immediately understood when he saw them walking towards the room with the man shoulder to shoulder. What kind of place is this place?

After standing there for a while, Wang Ren still decided to check it out, he was just curious, really.

Even though he's not a man... Ahem, he didn't think about anything!

Just as Wang Ren took a step into this small building, a woman stepped forward, saluted politely, and asked him if he was alone or with others.Is it listening to music, or 'doing business'...

"The division here is really fine." Wang Ren couldn't help saying.

The woman smiled and said: "Most of us here are official prostitutes, who serve dignitaries and romantic talents. Naturally, they are not like those civilian prostitutes who don't understand etiquette."

"Official prostitute?" Wang Ren frowned.

"Little girl was also a lady of the official family a few years ago, but..." The girl lowered her eyes and changed her words: "My lord, is this your first time here? Go upstairs to the private room to drink and listen to music?"

Wang Ren also came back to his senses, and said: "It's the room next to that person just now, but it's still empty."

The woman immediately understood, nodded and said: "Yes, please come with your servant."

After entering the next room, Wang Ren took out a piece of silver and handed it to her, saying, "You just stay here, you don't need to do anything."

The woman nodded: "The servant girl, please bring the pipa over. If you don't bring anything with you, you'll punch your eyes instead."

Wang Ren nodded, then rubbed against the wall of that room, and listened attentively.The woman came in with a pipa in her arms, closed the door tightly, and then sat at the table with her downcast eyes motionless, like clay figurines, and made no sound at all, naturally she did not disturb Wang Ren.

The walls are made of thick wood, and the sound insulation effect is not bad.Therefore, Wang Ren listened quite strenuously, but he still listened to some general ideas.

There were about three people in the room, and what they were discussing happened to be about Wang Ren, the imperial envoy, and Shisan, the elder brother.

Although the information had been obtained in advance, these people were greedy, so they did not listen to the words of the above to temporarily stop the matter of leaking salt and embezzling money in private.Instead, taking advantage of the fact that the people above couldn't take care of them at this time, petty theft started their own 'small business'.The people above can chew on the meat, and usually at most they just give them a mouthful of broth. This time, they also want to get some meat scraps to eat when the big shots don't notice them.Presumably even if the imperial envoy came, he would not notice him.

And this time what they want to discuss is the amount of skillful trading of that salt, and the amount of money that they communicated with that boss so that they would miss out on money.

After they finished chatting about the business, they began to play tricks, and then they seemed to call a few women into the room, and then all kinds of unbearable voices came out, and Wang Ren picked out his ears and sat back to his original position.

The woman looked up at Wang Ren, and said in a low voice, "Master, are you tired? Do you want to listen to a song?"

Wang Ren's thought of leaving was immediately dropped. He had never heard the original ancient music.So it should be.

The woman smiled slightly, tuned the string, and began to play.

The piece is long and full of sadness. The woman pressed the thread with her left hand and plucked it with her right hand.

A song ended, the sky outside the window was already orange, and the sun was setting.

"It sounds good." Wang Ren said, and then left another ingot of silver on the table.

After the woman heard Wang Ren's comments, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she shed tears.

"Thank you, Lord, for the reward." The woman bowed and said.

Wang Ren sighed, officials and prostitutes are under the jurisdiction of Le Ji, and it is difficult to redeem themselves.

Although such women enjoy the support of the state and are of high social status and do not need to endure the rude treatment of ordinary people in the market, they may not be happier than those prostitutes who cannot leave for a lifetime.

Wang Ren, who just opened the door, turned around and saw an acquaintance, who was surprised to see Wang Ren here, his eyes widened in astonishment, and his mouth opened slightly.Afterwards, the astonishment on his face was replaced by anger.He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Wang Ren by the collar, and dragged him outside the door.

"Wait! Ten, thirteen!" Wang Ren shouted in surprise, and then found that the people around him were paying attention to him. In order to avoid his stalking being discovered this time, Wang Ren had to cooperate with Thirteen to leave the small building quickly and came to A secluded place outside, and then said loudly: "Why are you here!"

"I still want to ask you, what are you doing here?!" Thirteen turned around and said angrily in Wang Ren's ear.

Dang, of course he came to investigate the case... But at this time Wang Ren didn't answer him at all, Wang Ren just felt sour.

Wang Ren then squinted his eyes and suddenly said: "Oh~~~~ Are you here to play with official prostitutes?" The sarcasm on this face should not be too obvious, the left eye is "you can do this kind of thing", and the right eye is clear 'You're such a pervert'.

Thirteen was almost pissed off.

I really want to beat him!

Then, Shisan really made a move, with a quick slash of his hand, knocking the person unconscious, and then resisted on his body.

Go home and settle the score!
