"ah?"

The old bustard was stunned for a moment, seeing the seriousness of this nobleman, and then confirmed that he had heard correctly.

His complexion changed imperceptibly, and he said with a smile.

"Sir, my daughter, I don't know how many dignitaries and gentry miss her. Of course you have a noble status, but there are many nobles in the capital who like her."

The old bustard looked at Zhang Rui's disguised Hongxiu, and consciously guessed some of the reasons for her unnaturalness.

"Besides, my mother has worked so hard to bring up her daughter. Although she is from a humble family, I still look forward to her to some extent. I am worried that if she is redeemed, she will suffer hardship, and many things depend on the wishes of the daughters..."

Ji Yuan saw the procuress's chattering posture, mixed with some temptations, and immediately interrupted her.

"This mother, Miss Hongxiu is definitely willing, so just tell me the amount."

The old bustard frowned, looking at Hongxiu secretly, trying to get some hint from her face, but Hongxiu didn't look at her at all.

'Okay, it seems that the other party has a real identity, this girl is relying on her, and she is ready to get away! '

The old bustard turned to Ji Yuan again with a mournful face.

"Sir, I can't decide this matter in one word. You also know that there are countless dignitaries who like my daughter. If she leaves with you, my big show ship will not be able to bear it at that time." !"

Perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was too weird, the bustard stretched out her hand to grab Hongxiu while she was struggling.

"Sir, I'll have a few heart-to-heart talks with my daughter first, please rest first."

After speaking, he dragged Hongxiu out of the house, Zhang Rui looked at Ji Yuan, saw him nodding, then got up and followed the old bustard out.

As soon as the two went out, Du Guangtong showed his figure again, and Wang Li asked immediately.

"Mr. Ji, Ms. Zhang has been taken out, is everything going to be okay?"

Ji Yuan looked at him.

"What's the matter? She is not a weak woman."

Wang Li immediately shut up, he was just acting on the surface, now that he thinks about it, the other party is not a mortal at all.

Outside, the bustard dragged Hongxiu through the boat corridor, and closed the door of another elegant room before speaking.

"Daughter, why did you obey at birth? Those high-ranking officials redeemed you, and at most they wanted you to be a concubine. After a few years, you ended up miserable..."

Zhang Rui forced a smile.

"Mister is different..."

"It's not the same, you can't even laugh! And if you leave, what will my mother do, and what will we do in Daxiu Building..."

Zhang Rui just felt unwell, but she is not an ordinary woman, and she has seen people's hearts. Hearing the old bustard's words, his face turned cold.

"Why, without Hongxiu, the cash cow, life will be sad? You've made a lot of money over the years, aren't you satisfied?"

"You... well, you girl, have your wings grown hard? Mom, what I said before was not a lie. Those high-ranking officials and dignitaries come from noble backgrounds. Don't think that you can chat and laugh with them on my big show boat, just admit it. Equal to them, you are just a plaything in their eyes!"

The old bustard narrowed his eyes, and said what he thought was a heartbreaking sentence.

"Just like Mr. Xiao before, didn't you also think that you had met the truth, but in the end, when you got tired of playing, you stopped showing up. It's been two years, right?"

The madam remembered very clearly that it was at that time that her daughter finally let go of that layer of reserve.

But she couldn't see any look of expectation on Hongxiu's face.

"Hmph, you can get some money if you give me a good word, otherwise the bamboo basket will be empty!"

Zhang Rui didn't have the patience to speak slowly, if she couldn't do it, she would call out, and there were quite a few women who fled from the brothel.

The madam was stunned by Hongxiu's indifferent and aggressive aura, why is Hongxiu like a different person today, with a backer, even her personality has changed?

After thinking for a while, the bustard still said calmly.

"You tell me the truth, how powerful is that man? Can he be more powerful than the young master of the Xiao family?"

Zhang Rui sneered, she didn't know who the young master of the Xiao family was, but she knew a little about Mr. Ji's existence.

Simply half-truth and half-false said.

"The Xiao family? Hehe, power in the world is nothing in the eyes of Mr."

The bustard was startled.

"Could it be that you are still a member of the royal family? But you are not perfect, how can the royal family see you?"

Zhang Rui resisted the urge to slap her, opened the door and was ready to go out.

As a result, when he opened the door, he found two burly healthy women and two sturdy tortoises standing outside.

"Daughter, climbing high branches is not your way of climbing. If you turn your face and don't recognize anyone, I will tell the noble mother. You can go back to the room and rest. You guys, send Miss Hongxiu back to the room!"

"yes"

A healthy woman outside responded and was ready to rape her.

"court death!"

Zhang Rui got angry from the heart, and directly slapped the two women's faces with "slap" and "slap".

The two shrews, who weighed as much as the two Hongxiu, were swayed to the sides by the fan just like that. After seven or eight small steps, they still couldn't stabilize their figures.

After two "bang" and "bang", it fell down, and the boat felt shaking.

The two strong men, Gui Gong, were stunned, and before they could turn their heads to make a move, their eyes dazzled, and each of them received a kick in the crotch like lightning.

"Uh woo..." "Uh..."

The two tortoises turned pale, hugged their crotches and arched their bodies and fell down.

"Hmph! I advise you not to mess with me!"

Zhang Rui snorted coldly, flung his sleeves and left.

This scene startled the bustard, she watched Hongxiu leave without daring to stop her.

After a while, Zhang Rui returned to the elegant room where Ji Yuan was, opened the door and spoke.

"Mr. Ji, I've thought about it. We need to look at the faces of mortals? The worst is to fight, anyway, as long as Hongxiu has a trace of going out of the brothel, it will be fine."

In fact, it is okay to let Ji Yuan and others go first, and Zhang Rui escapes later, but she really doesn't want to stay here for a moment.

Ji Yuan bowed his hands to Zhang Rui apologetically.

"Miss Zhang, don't worry, the fuss you made just now has miraculous effects. It's better not to make a big fuss if you can go out safely. To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the old bustard, the women here are all up for sale to some extent. Commodities, the price is right, it is easy to say."

"Then she wants the lion to open his mouth, does she really dare to ask for a sky-high price?"

Wang Li asked subconsciously.

"We fooled around with the money, so someone will pay later, and it should be him who pays!"

Ji Yuan thought about it and said something, then turned his head and cupped his hands towards the water god Du Guangtong.

"Du Shuishen, it's up to you this time."

Du Guangtong drank the tea in the cup in front of him and stood up to return the gift.

"Mr. Ji, please don't worry, Du will definitely get it done, let's take my leave first!"

"Okay, water god please!"

Du Guangtong then bowed his hands towards Zhang Rui and Wang Li, and before they could return, he turned into a stream of water and went out of the window.

"Mr. Ji, what is Master Water God doing here?"

Zhang Rui just came back, so she didn't know what they had discussed before, so she was very curious. Wang Li coughed and said in a storyteller's tone.

"This time, when the Lord Water God is gone, he will lead the good monsters in the water, go ashore and transform into a team of troops, and come to redeem Miss Hongxiu with the ransom money."

The appearance still needs to be pretended, and a person like Ji Yuan is definitely not suitable for spending a lot of wealth.

Too many things happened to Daxiu Building that night.

An incomparably noble and mysterious guest came, and Hongxiu caught his eye and wanted to redeem her body.

Then came a large group of ferocious servants, just being looked at by them, those healthy servants in Daxiu Tower were sweating down their backs.

But the most vicious one is not an outsider, but Miss Hongxiu herself. This daughter's family who is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, unexpectedly suppressed all the women in Daxiu Building that night. More than one person felt that even the old bustard was a little afraid of her. .

Of course, in the end Daxiu Tower did not suffer a loss, and the wealth gained still made the madam smile reluctantly. Although the chicken that laid the golden eggs was gone, he still got a lot of money after all.

It's just that he was slapped by his "daughter", which made the old bustard feel pain even when he smiled.

A small box of gold and a small box of heavy pearls. There are five hundred taels of gold, which is not a small amount, but the pearls are especially precious. They are big and round, and it is hard to buy with money. Most women are crazy.

On the Daxiu boat in the Daxiu building, there are also many famous women who are not supported by Hongxiu alone. The loss of a Hongxiu will not hurt the muscles and bones, and a mature training system has already been formed. Those who are in the same pattern will immediately praise a newcomer vigorously.

In the daytime of the second day, a small boat was advancing on Sushui dozens of miles outside Chengsu Mansion, and Ji Yuan, Du Guangtong, Zhang Rui and Wang Li were all standing on it.

This boat is a bit like the one I used to ride on the Chunmu River back then, it's no problem to take seven or eight people, but the rower is just a matter of fate.

"As the saying goes, fake eyes are fake, I saw it last night."

Ji Yuan smiled and chatted with Du Guangtong, who was standing beside him respectfully, about what happened last night. The water god was quite meticulous in his work, and Ji Yuan didn't do much later.

"Hey, Mr. Ji is absurd. I'm looking for someone from the underworld of Chengsu's mansion. I have checked the redemption prices of several oirans in Daxiu Building over the years. A few hundred taels of gold is considered a sky-high price. Even less, the gold we gave did not make Daxiu Lou lose."

The gold given is real gold, but not all pearls.

A box of gold was "borrowed" by Du Guangtong from the cellar of a big bank in Chengsu Mansion, and Ji Yuan would naturally go to the person who hid Zhen Hongxiu to make up for it.

But the box of pearls was not what Daxiu Building deserved, and Du Guang would "get" it back in person after a few days.

Du Guangtong hoped that the person he found would not be able to provide any money, and then he would help Mr. Ji solve his problems and find a way to properly resolve this matter, so that his relationship with Mr. Ji would be more stable.

Although Sushui is not directly connected to the Tongtian River, there are several small canals that are convenient for freight transfers to connect to the Tongtian River. , It doesn’t take half a month to get to Beijing.

After chatting with Water God for a few words, the other party finally took his leave and left, Ji Yuan looked at Wang Li who was dozing off in the cabin, and thought about it.

"Mr. Wang, I didn't sleep all night last night. Please rest first. When you wake up, Ji has a little story to tell you, and maybe he can compile an official book."

Wang Li let out a dazed "Hey" and continued to doze off in the cabin, and soon fell asleep.
