Chapter 1105: The Oiran is missing, Zhang Jiaotou and his family kill someone and escape

"You guys go and have some fun too!"

When Su Mingzhe was brought to Hanyan Pavilion, he asked his guards to leave.

After hearing this, the four of them left happily.

Miss Ruyan of Hanyan Pavilion was a girl who failed in the competition for the most beautiful courtesan five years ago. She is not bad looking and is only 21 years old this year. She is one of the few "pillars" of Fengle Tower who is qualified to say that she "sells her art but not her body".

It’s just that the brothel owner loves money and the girls love to be pretty.

When Ruyan saw the handsome and heroic man who came in today, her eyes suddenly lit up and she could hardly close her legs.

"Sir, it's only the twilight hour now. It's still early for the selection of the oiran. Why don't we take a rest and recuperate for a while? How about that?"

Is this definitely a way to nourish your spirit, not a waste of it?
Faced with the beauty's teasing, Su Mingzhe was just what he wanted.

I don’t know how long it took.

Waves of beautiful stringed instrument music began to come in from outside the window.

Su Mingzhe, who had recovered enough energy, looked at Miss Ruyan, who had collapsed into a deep sleep. He could only get up by himself, put on his clothes, walk to the door, and look towards the stage in the center of Fengle Building.

This time, Fenglelou is selecting the most beautiful courtesan, just like in the past, with one chosen from five.

The five seeded contestants took turns to go on stage, playing various instruments and singing to showcase their talents.

The guests who were watching around would give tips to the girls they liked.

Of course, if the customer likes all the girls, he can also give tips to all of them.

However, tonight is not only the day for selecting the most beautiful girl in Fengle Tower, but also the wedding day of the five girls.

Once the courtesan is chosen, the five girls will select one from the guests who have given them tips as their patron tonight.

Guests who give tips only have one chance to be selected.

So the idea of ​​casting a wide net is good, but if you want to sleep with many people and enjoy the happiness of having two wives, it can definitely only be achieved in a dream.

As the five girls displayed their talents, the guests kept giving them tips, and the sound of gongs and drums filled the Fengle Building.

In fact, these five girls are all similar in appearance and talent, and each has her own merits.

Only the temperament.

A girl named Xuanxuan, who is lively, cute and full of charm.

There was also a girl named Qing'er, who had a cool and elegant temperament. Standing there, she was like a water painting of the Jiangnan region.

These two girls are immediately ahead of the other three girls.

So, after just three rounds, the three girls named Nana, Xier, and Coco were defeated.

In the end, only Xuanxuan and Qing'er were left competing for the final oiran.

Su Mingzhe stood on the high platform, watching the crowd throwing silver coins like crazy, and his heart was also aroused:

"It is wrong for such a beautiful woman to end up in the dust. God let me meet them so that I can save them from the water and fire!"

Before we knew it, it was already the hour of Hai!
The choice of the oiran has finally been decided.

Sure enough, the old snakes still like the white and thin ones.

Xuanxuan, the charming, lively and lovely girl, defeated the steady and elegant girl Qing'er and became the new generation of Li Shishi.

Until late at night.

Su Mingzhe had just cuddled Ruyan for a while when a scream broke his sleep plan. He had no choice but to wake up the beauty in his arms and asked:
"What's that noise outside? It's so noisy in the middle of the night. Can't you sleep?"

"I don't know either!"

Ruyan, who was pushed awake, saw that Su Mingzhe seemed to be in a bad mood, so she quickly comforted him, put on her clothes, put on a thin jacket, and went outside to inquire about the situation.

After a while.

Su Mingzhe saw Ruyan running back with a happy look on her face and laughed softly:

"Sir, something big has happened!"

"Oh? What's the big deal?" Su Mingzhe peeled Ruyan like a little white sheep again, hugged her in his arms like petting a cat, and asked with a smile:
"Was it on fire, or was it stolen?"

"neither!"

Ruyan showed a gloating expression on her face and smiled mysteriously:
"The five girls who participated in the Oiran contest tonight are all gone!"

"All gone? What does that mean?"

Su Mingzhe listened and showed a look of surprise:
"The Oiran is missing too? Has this happened before?"

Ruyan replied with a smile:
"I've only heard of this happening in other brothels before, but this is the first time in Fengle Building!"

The two were chatting when there was a knock on the door.

Soon, all the guests in Fengle Building were awakened by the disturbance.

Unfortunately, the madam of Fengle Building, along with dozens of pimps and guards, searched the entire Fengle Building several times but failed to find the lost girl.

A pimp saw the madam's face becoming increasingly ugly, and hurriedly advised:
"Mom, those guests have been unconscious for quite some time. If we delay for such a long time, they will surely run away! We should report to the authorities immediately, otherwise, once the cock crows, they will leave the city and it will be too late for us to track them down!"

"What's the point of reporting to the authorities? Will the Kaifeng prefect listen to us?"

The madam sighed and raised her head suddenly:

"Go, go to the residence of the Grand Commandant of Xiaowangdu and report to the Prince Consort!"

It turns out that Fengle Tower is the business of the prince consort Wang Jinqing.

In history, Wang Jinqing married the daughter of Emperor Yingzong of Song. He was the uncle of Emperor Zhezong of Song and Emperor Huizong of Song. He passed away several years ago.

In "Water Margin", Wang Jinqing married the daughter of Song Shenzong and became the brother-in-law of both Song Zhezong and Song Huizong. He is still alive and well today.

The Wang family of Bianliang was wealthy and powerful, and owned countless properties in Kaifeng.

This Fengle Building can only be regarded as one of the more profitable industries among the many industries of the Wang family.

When Wang Jinqing learned that the five beauties who had made him money had run away, he immediately wrote a note and asked the prefect of Kaifeng to help seal off the city and search.

Teng Zong, the prefect of Kaifeng, was woken up in the middle of the night. He heard that it was Prince Consort Wang who had written a note asking him to seal the city gates and capture five prostitutes who had escaped. He was so angry that his eyes widened and he wanted to stab the runner who woke him up to death with his eyes:
"Is it worth it for me to have Kaifeng Prefecture seal off the gates of Bianliang just to catch a prostitute?"

"What does that little Wangdu Taiwei think of my Kaifeng Prefecture?"

After scolding the yamen runner on duty, Teng Zong went back to his bedroom to take a nap.

Unexpectedly, he had just crawled back into bed when another yamen runner knocked on the door with a bitter face to wake him up:

"Master, a letter has been sent from General Gao's residence, asking you to seal the city gates..."

When Teng Zong heard that the treacherous minister Gao Qiu had also come to join in the fun, he was immediately furious. He didn't even listen to what the yamen runners said, and started yelling and cursing:
"Little Wang, the post of the general is not useful? But the post of the general Gao is useful?"

"Master, General Gao is not here for General Wangdu's affairs."

The yamen runner was afraid of misunderstanding and delaying the important matter, so he quickly explained:
"Then General Gao sent someone to say that Instructor Zhang of the Imperial Guards and his family had killed someone and escaped, and asked us to block the city gates and search for them..."

"Instructor Zhang of the Imperial Army killed someone and escaped?"

Teng Zong's mind was buzzing and he couldn't react at all. He asked:

"Which Coach Zhang?"

The yamen runner reminded:
"This coach is Lin Chong's father-in-law who was falsely accused of 'breaking into the White Tiger Hall'!"

"It turns out it's him!"

Teng Zong finally remembered.

Some time ago, he was also the one who judged the case in which Lin Chong accidentally entered the White Tiger Hall.

At that time, Gao Qiu wanted to sentence Lin Chong to death himself, but he did not give him face and only sentenced him to exile in Cangzhou.

Now, Gao Qiu sent someone to report to the authorities, saying that Coach Zhang had killed someone and absconded. This was probably another false case created by Gao Qiu.

Thinking of this, Teng Zong was even less willing to help Gao Qiu:

"You said that Coach Zhang killed someone and escaped? Who did he kill? Where did he kill him? How did General Gao find out about this in the middle of the night?"
