EBE Chapter 184 Bull Demon and Snake God
Chapter 184 Bull Demon and Snake God
Zhou Chang couldn't help but look at Furong carefully a few times. He didn't expect that she had inadvertently been treated by the "Oiran" of Yizi Hutong?
Furong has an oval face, pretty features and a well-proportioned body, but she is not a stunning beauty, at most she is just an average beauty.
If it were placed in Yaoyuefang, it wouldn't even have a rank, but if it were placed here, it would probably be the tallest among the short ones.
Mother Liu thought that Zhou Chang was reluctant to let her go: "Mr. Zhou, we are in the wrong today, but we cannot afford to offend Mr. Jin. We cannot charge you for any expenses. Next time you come, we will definitely treat you well and make amends."
Zhou Chang was already disappointed and didn't care about Furong anymore.
The thin monkey said, "No matter what kind of patrol he is, business should be based on first come first served. This is not a matter of money. Moreover, when it comes to money, did my young master give less?"
"No, no, it's been a long time since I met someone as generous as Mr. Zhou." Mama Liu's face wrinkled like a bun, "I really have no choice. What's more, if I offend Mr. Jin and he catches Mr. Zhou here, I'm afraid he will come and cause trouble."
"Catch one and try?" The skinny monkey stood in front of the door, blocking Mr. Jin, without any fear. "Is it taboo for court officials to visit prostitutes?"
Mother Liu took a look at Mr. Jin's face outside the door. He had turned ashen. She was frightened and bowed repeatedly: "Mr. Zhou, ah, Mr. Zhou, you should also understand the principle of 'only the officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps'. There is no reasoning when you meet them. It is better to take a step back and let Furong go..."
"Get out of the way..." Before Mother Liu could finish her words, Grandpa Jin pushed his skinny friend aside and swaggered in.
After all, the skinny monkey was not a martial artist, and he failed to stop the man and fell against the door with a bang.
There were two men following Mr. Jin. One of them should be the man named Jiang who spoke just now. The other one remained silent, but judging by his clothes, he was also a supervisory guard of the same level as the City Patrol.
"Auntie Liu, what are you wasting time on in the room for?" Grandpa Jin thought he had been patient enough just now. He glanced at the people in the room and didn't take Zhou Chang seriously at all.
Finally, his eyes fell on Furong, and he asked a thin man of medium build behind him, "Brother Jiang, this is Furong, are you satisfied with her?"
The man called "Brother Jiang" had a snake-like face, wide on the top and pointed at the bottom, with sparse eyes. His eyeballs rolled around, but suddenly stopped when he passed Meisheng.
"Furong, come here." Mr. Jin's face was rough, and he didn't notice the abnormality of the snake-faced man. He waved Furong over and said, "This is already the best here. If Brother Jiang is still not satisfied, then just make do with it for now. We'll ask Brother Jiang to go to a better place another day."
Furong wanted to move over, but was hindered by Zhou Chang's silence.
The snake-faced man stared at Mei Sheng without blinking, and spoke in a sinister voice that made people feel uncomfortable: "Brother Jin, the court's ban on entertainment is in effect in all 43 prefectures of Lin State. Before, I was in Luozhou, and the law was very strict there. But looking at Jindu, under the feet of the emperor, these people blatantly violated the court's ban, which really frightened me."
For some reason, Mei Sheng's body suddenly stiffened when he mentioned the word "Luozhou".
After hearing this, Mr. Jin's face turned blank and his brain was as confused as an old cow.
He is hosting a dinner party for his new colleague Jiang Lu tonight.
When Jiang Lu came here, he knew what this place was, and he had not objected when he was next door just now. Why did his attitude change after entering the house?
Mother Liu didn't know why Lord Jiang suddenly changed the subject. She looked to Mr. Jin for help: "Ah, no, Lord Jiang misunderstood. We ordinary people dare not disobey the imperial order. Furong was just entertaining friends."
Mr. Jin's face was a little uncertain. He couldn't figure out what this newly appointed colleague meant. Although they were both in the same position of Inspector of Guards, he couldn't be transferred directly to fill the vacancy if he didn't have connections in Jindu. That was why he tried his best to establish a good relationship with him.
"Entertaining friends?" Jiang Lushe showed an ambiguous smile on his face. "There are differences between men and women. What kind of person would run into a woman's boudoir in the middle of the night to be entertained?"
"It's none of your business." Although Zhou Chang wanted to keep a low profile and didn't want to reveal her identity, this person's words could make her inexplicably irritated.
As he spoke, he stood up from the chaise longue and wanted to stand up first. He always felt like he was shorter than others when he talked while sitting.
The skinny monkey hurried over to help Zhou Chang put on his shoes.
"Brother Jin, you openly defied the imperial ban. According to the imperial regulations, can you be arrested and your identity questioned, issued a warning and fined? I just don't know how much the fine is in Jindu City?" Jiang Lushe's face was gloomy, and he seemed to have a sly smile on his lips.
"You want silver, right? How much? Take the silver and get out of here. Go back to where you came from." When Zhou Chang stood up, he was taller than everyone in the room. He was even more disdainful of all the "monsters and demons" in the room.
"Hmph..." Jiang Lu's cold laugh was chilling as if he had been frozen. "You want to use the silver to send away the imperially appointed city patrol inspector. How can such a good thing happen? I'll give you a chance. Take your silver and get out now."
"Letting you go is giving you a chance. Let me go? What gives you the right?" Zhou Chang said toughly but was unwilling in her heart. In a place like this, if things got out of hand, she might not suffer any loss, but Prince Yi would definitely lose face.
"Based on the imperial court's ban and the fact that I am the city patrol inspector, I have the right to arrest people." Jiang Lu looked at Jin Ye while speaking.
By this time, Mr. Jin's brain, which was slower than that of a cow, finally came to his senses and understood what his colleague meant, but his face looked very bad.
Although the Mr. Zhou in front of him looked like a pretty boy and not difficult to deal with, he was not here to cause trouble. Moreover, Yizi Hutong was his money bag, so he couldn't do anything too much.
"Ah, no, Mr. Jiang misunderstood. We really are not doing business." Mother Liu tried her best to defend herself and could only ask Mr. Jin for help again.
"A large table of food and wine, a man and a woman in the same room, who would believe this if told to others?" Jiang Lu was not convinced, and was more stubborn than a snake, "Don't tell me they are husband and wife."
"This..." Mother Liu couldn't find a good excuse for a moment. She just said that she was entertaining friends, but it didn't make sense for men and women to be friends in public. But she couldn't let her guests be taken away by the City Patrol, as this would also ruin the reputation of her business.
In a hurry, she could only give Furong a gift and push it to Master Jin, which was considered a risk-taking: "Master Jiang, Master Jin, everything is fine tonight. Miss Furong and Miss Fengxian are the twin lotuses in Yizi Hutong, and they will both help the three masters to have fun. No one will spoil the fun. I am the host, and tonight is all my responsibility."
Mother Liu said this and winked at Mother Lin who was standing at the back of the crowd.
Mother Lin also laughed dryly and came up to pull people out.
Mother Liu winked at Zhou Chang again.
Zhou Chang also didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he didn't plan to say anything.
"Haha, very good, in that case, why not take this person with us." Jiang Lushe showed a ferocious smile on his face, opened his mouth like a venomous snake, and pointed at Mei Sheng. "I like to sleep very much, it feels like I am resting in peace."
