Chapter 55



55 The initial plan (1)

“This servant must thank young master. If this servant’s name goes down in history in the future, it will definitely be young master’s credit.” Fu Xiang’s eyes were filled with love, making her even more charming.

Xu Qi ‘an knew what she was referring to. Since ancient times, there had been many famous courtesans who had been famous for their poems.

Any prostitute would be overjoyed by this opportunity.

There were two kinds of people in the world who liked to fight for fame, scholars and prostitutes.

‘What I want is your deep gratitude …’ Xu Qi ‘an smiled, showing an appropriate frivolity. “How are you going to thank me?”

It was as warm as spring in the room. He had drunk a lot of wine, and after sitting for a while, he already felt unbearably hot. He took off his outer robe and placed it on the round stool.

Fu Xiang bit her luscious lips and shyly said, ” young master, the night is long. Why don’t you listen to me play a song to liven up your mood? ”

Xu Qi ‘an was stunned. She knew that the other party had misunderstood her. She smiled but did not explain.

Women from ancient times were still the most elegant. If you slept with her, she would say, “Don’t worry, let this little girl play a song for you.

Unlike the girl who came later, if you slept with her, she would say, “Hurry up!

After patiently listening to the song, Xu Qi ‘an had to admit that this courtesan had some skills. She was good at both the zither and poetry. He didn’t know about poetry, but she played the zither really well.

Even someone like him, who didn’t know music, could calm down and immerse himself in it.

Xu Qi ‘an took a sip of tea to relieve the dryness in her throat caused by the alcohol. She started a topic in a casual tone, “”Miss fuxiang is a peerless beauty, could it be that no one has redeemed you?”

This was obviously not a very pleasant topic. The courtesan’s wife sighed dejectedly, ”

“How can a girl from the Academy workshop be redeemed just because she wants to? Even if you meet a man you love, the Ministry of Rites will not agree.”

In fact, it was too expensive. It was very difficult for the Imperial Academy’s courtesan to redeem herself. Because she was an official courtesan, she had to go through a lot of procedures and bribe people from top to bottom. The money spent was far more than that of other courtesans in brothels.

I remember that Constable Wang said that the most popular courtesan in a normal brothel is worth about 500 to 1000 taels. The number of courtesans in the education workshop might even double or more.

What was the concept of two thousand taels?

‘I have to save up for ten years without eating or drinking, and this is already an above-average income …’ With so much money, wouldn’t it be better for me to buy a few pretty concubines?

Xu Qi ‘an subconsciously calculated in his heart and came to a conclusion.This business deal was a huge loss!

that’s true. With lady fuxiang’s beauty, there’s no one else in the entire great Feng capital who can match her. Xu Qi ‘an flattered.

The courtesan’s wife chuckled, her heart filled with joy, but she said, “”Young master, don’t make fun of me. The number one beauty in the capital is the princess of zhenbei. I’m just a willow leaf.”

She had changed from a servant to a family, and their relationship had become closer. Her tone was also a little coquettish.

The princess of zhenbei? This woman again. Once again, Xu Qi ‘an heard about the legendary beauty of the capital.

In his past life, he had seen countless beauties. Now that he had seen Xu lingyue, Yan Caiwei, and other almost flawless beauties, he could not imagine how beautiful this Princess Consort was to be able to hold the title of the capital’s number one beauty.

It was most likely an identity Halo … He thought.

“That wangfei was born in a scholarly family in Jiangnan. When she was nine, she followed her parents to the Jade Buddha Temple to burn incense.His appearance shocked everyone, and his grace overwhelmed mu Yuyang. Tens of thousands of people admired the beauty of the country, and the soul of the human world provoked the Emperor.

“From then on, he became famous and was sent to the Imperial Palace when he was thirteen.”

“Then how did she become a Princess?” Xu Qi ‘an asked curiously.

Fu Xiang Hua kui stretched out her slender hand from her long sleeve, picked up the porcelain bottle with her orchid-like fingers, and poured out the zither paste. While maintaining the Phoenix-tail zither, she said, ”

nineteen years ago, when the Shanhai Pass battle was won, the king of zhenbei was the second hero. The Emperor gave him the most beautiful woman in the capital.

The North vanquishing Prince was the younger brother of the current Emperor. It was not strange for him to reward a beauty. After all, the beauty was indeed very talented, but the current Emperor had devoted himself to cultivation and had long stopped being close to women … Xu Qi ‘an was curious about another thing.

“Who’s the biggest contributor?”

“Duke of Wei, back then, he was the commander of the three armies. If he wasn’t a eunuch, the princess Consort wouldn’t be the princess Consort.” Fu Xiang smiled. what I’ve said to young master is something that can not be concealed from others. It’s just that once we’re out of this door, there’s no need to talk too much.

As for the matter of Lord Wei, it was fine if ordinary people talked about it. After all, she was a receptionist working in a state-owned enterprise.

So it was him … Xu Qi ‘an suddenly understood. Xu dalang had heard of Wei Yuan before.

He was too famous.

Although he was a eunuch, he was extremely talented. He could rule a country with his literary skills and quell chaos with his martial skills. If he wasn’t a eunuch, it would be easy for him to become the top scholar or the first assistant.

The two of them chatted on and off. Xu Qi ‘an was well-versed in the art of patient persuasion. This was a skill that she had honed from her hard work in interrogation.

After going around in circles for a long time, he finally changed the topic to Zhou Li.

this person is preposterous and lecherous. He’s not well-educated. I don’t like him. Every time he participates in the tea gathering, I’ll pretend he doesn’t exist. Fu Xiang said angrily, ”

“The education workshop is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites. He’s just the son of the assistant Minister of Revenue, so I won’t be afraid of him.”

Xu Qi ‘an showed some curiosity and asked with a smile, ” how can you say that he’s lecherous and absurd? isn’t it normal to look for women? ”

The courtesan’s wife hesitated for a moment and said softly, “”I only know a little about it from other officials. If young master yang wants to know, I can tell you, but please don’t tell others.”

She sounded like she was begging.

Xu Qi ‘an pretended to be flattered and expressed that he was only interested in it for a while and would not tell anyone.

“This matter has to start from last year’s Lantern Festival. That Zhou Li was a ridiculous person. He took a fancy to a young lady during the Lantern Festival and took advantage of the crowd to molest her. He also had people injure the female attendant by the side of the lady.

“Who would have thought that the young lady also had a strong background, being the Wei Wu Marquis” Shu daughter. Originally, if it was just a concubine’s daughter, it would not be troublesome. But the problem was that the birth mother of the concubine’s daughter was the biological sister of the Weiwu Marquis’s first wife.

“With this layer of blood relation, that Shu daughter is liked by the mistress and the treatment is not much different from the DI daughter. It’s just lacking a title.”

“How did you deal with it?” Xu Qi ‘an clenched his fist.

“The mighty Marquis filed an Imperial complaint and the assistant Minister of Revenue wrote an explanation. The two sides wrangled for many days before the Emperor finally ruled:Assistant Minister Zhou didn’t teach his son well, so he was paid a year’s salary and compensated the Weiwu Marquis with five thousand taels. Zhou Li will be grounded for three months, and if he commits any more crimes, he will be severely punished.”

If there is a repeat offense, he will be severely punished … This sentence struck Xu Qi ‘an’s mind like lightning, giving him a burst of inspiration.

Zhou Li had coveted the beauty of the mighty Marquis’s SHU daughter for a long time. Because he had suffered a loss a while ago and was beaten up, he was in a depressed mood. In his hot-headed state, he had the idea of having the mighty Marquis ‘Shu daughter again …

The information he had gathered about Zhou Li was instantly summarized. It was like a cornerstone that added bricks and tiles to his plan.

Therefore, he sent people to abduct the daughter of the mighty Marquis and hid her in a private house outside, planning to have sex … After that, he would kill them to silence them … Well, this was very reasonable.

“Of course, my purpose is to frame her. I don’t have to kill an innocent girl. This is the first draft of the current plan. I still have to discuss the details with Erlang. It must be natural and reasonable …”

Seeing that Xu Qi ‘an was in a daze, the courtesan’s wife called out to him. She pouted her pink lips and complained, ”

“Young master, are you going to sit with me for the whole night?”

Uh … I can’t lose my virginity. If I don’t sit for the whole night, am I supposed to do it for the whole night?

PS: Assistant Minister Zhou’s plot will be over in another two or three chapters.

In addition, there were some problems with the recent updates. I didn’t have time to update in the afternoon. I’ll start to restore it tomorrow.
