After Yaotai
Qiuche returned to Beijing, he first went to Hong Xiu Zhao.
This place is most depressed during the day, but at night it is bustling with people and very lively -
because this is the largest brothel in the capital, and dignitaries often hang out here.
Of course Qiu Che didn't come here to have fun.
Few people know that there is actually a huge black market underneath this brothel.
When Qiu Che came here, he did not dismiss the Yuming sisters.
She led the people into the brothel, and when the old madam came up to her with a smile on her face, she said lightly: "We will meet at Yaotai under the moon."
The old madam immediately gave a subtle pause, and then whispered: " Young Master, please."
She took Qiu Che and others around and entered the underground black market.
There is no light from the sky here, like another world, but there are night pearls worth thousands of gold hanging on the wall, just to illuminate the entire black market.
People coming and going are not surprised by this, and they don't stop walking. Treasures stolen from everywhere can be seen everywhere on the hawker stalls on the roadside.
There are even those who are shouting about buying and selling human lives.
Along the way, the streets were full of smoke and bustling people. The two of them showed surprise expressions many times, and their sister Yuming was even more hesitant to speak.
Qiu Che was as steady as a rock. He didn't shake his sleeves until he reached the door of a gambling house and said, "If there's any problem, you'll find out when you get in."
The two sisters looked at each other blankly and didn't say anything. The servant opened the curtain and went out. He glanced at Qiu Che in surprise, then lowered his head respectfully and said, "Sir, my master would like to invite you to take a seat."
...
When he came out of Hongxiu, it was already getting late.
Qiu Che's expression remained unchanged and he got straight into the carriage.
Yu Yan took on the job of driving the carriage, while Yu Ming sat aside. After getting Qiu Che's permission, he finally couldn't hold it in any longer: "How could the master know...the girl from Yaotai?
"
If the eldest princess Li Qingwu is the most beautiful woman in the capital, she is the white moonlight of countless young men in the capital, which is unattainable.
That Xiang Yaotai must be the cinnabar mole in every man's heart.
She is charming and versatile, and her every smile is charming. Who wouldn't be moved by her?
The problem is, from the past information about Beijing that she has learned during this period, she has never heard that her young master has ever been to the Red Sleeve Moves before?
How could he tell the secret code of wanting to see the Yaotai girl?
She saw that the Yaotai girl seemed very surprised when she saw Qiu Che today.
But when Yaotai asked, Qiu Che only said that a friend told her the code word, and Yaotai stopped asking any more questions.
After all, her guests are as numerous as the crucian carp crossing the river, and there are also many people who know the existence of code words and black markets, which is not a strange thing.
The last thing Ye Ming City cares about is the identity of the visitor. When I come here, I have to follow the rules of the city lord.
But when she heard her name, Yaotai felt as if she had met her for the first time in her previous life, with some strange excitement.
Like... I know her, but this is the first time I met her.
Even when she asked for cooperation, Xiang Yaotai just declined a few token words and quickly agreed without any additional requirements.
Just like in the previous life.
When she heard Yu Ming's words, Qiu Che was reading a book with her head down. The carriage bumped, and she slightly pressed the corner of the book, feeling a little lost in thought.
Why do you know Xiang Yaotai?
...Now we have to talk about Li Qingwu again.
After the other party in her previous life followed the imperial decree and married her, she was quickly packed up and sent to her old house in Jiangnan by Qiu Che. In the following years, they did not see each other more than three times.
But before leaving, Li Qingwu also had his own princess mansion. According to the rules, the two of them lived in the mansion together for a while.
Qiu Che felt ashamed of her because of what happened at the birthday party, and was afraid that she would remember the ridiculous scene that day and know that she was a girl, so he deliberately avoided her.
She was often away from the house, so Li Qingwu probably felt bored, so he occasionally went out for a stroll. Once he met Xiang Yaotai, and after going back and forth, he somehow became familiar with her.
Before leaving for Jiangnan, Li Qingwu stuffed a note in the cabinet beside her bed.
Qiu Che happened to return to the room at that time and saw it, but did not dare to open it.
The biggest wish of a woman who has been trapped in a deep house all year round is to marry a good family - this is a saying that her mother often talks about.
Her innocence was ruined, she was forced to marry, and she was driven to the south of the Yangtze River by her own hands. She was criticized by others. He must have hated her, right?
That piece of paper probably contained some words that denounced her.
Qiu Che has always thought so.
She gradually forgot about it, until some time later, she was trapped by the situation between the DPRK and China, and suddenly realized that she had no power to cultivate.
Then she suddenly remembered the note.
She opened the cabinet and took out the note.
But what was written on the note turned out to be a simple sentence: We have traveled far and wide, and I donât know when we will see you again.
If you have any difficulties, you can find a girl from Yaotai called Hongxiu, she may be able to help you.
I wish you well.
Behind this note comes this code phrase.
We will meet at Yaotai under the moon.
The handwriting is beautiful and winding, and the grace of the person who wrote it can be vaguely seen.
Qiu Che indeed relied on this code word to meet the Yaotai girl, and relied on her help to get out of the predicament where no one was available at the time.
But that night, she sat on the edge of the bed holding the note and was stunned for a long time, but suddenly she didn't understand what Li Qingwu's feelings were for her.
This lack of understanding became even worse after Li Qingwu came all the way back from Jiangnan to collect her bones and avenge her.
When she came back to her senses, she found a wrinkle on the edge of the book.
Qiu Che let go of his hand, smoothed the mark, and said calmly: "This is not important."
Yu Ming: "What do you mean, Master?"
"The important thing is that she agreed to mortgage Ye Ming City to me," Qiu Che said , "From now on, that place will be our territory, and it will be managed by you. You and the Yaotai girl will be responsible for everything including the red sleeve moves."
"I will build it into my own intelligence city. You need to send it monthly Give me a monthly account book and information book."
Yu Ming was slightly stunned: "Subordinate..."
She wanted to say that she couldn't do it.
That was an entire dungeon, a mixed bag of fish and dragons. How could she possibly control it?
But when the words came to his lips, he paused again.
"Do you still remember what I said?" Qiu Che glanced up at her and said calmly, "Since you have followed me, there is nothing you can do or not do."
"I want your absolute loyalty and obedience.
" Ming was startled by her captivating gaze. He lowered his head and said no more, "...yes."
Probably because I was ridiculed by Qiu Che last time when I went out to greet him, I had a psychological shadow in Qiu Chudong. This time the gate was empty, not even a servant. It seemed that he was not even willing to do superficial things.
Qiu Che was so happy that he hesitated between going to see Wang and going back to the yard, but chose to go back to his own yard.
As soon as he opened the door, he frowned hard.
Yuming was stunned: "What...what are these? Who did this?!"
He saw that the room was in a mess, with opened boxes, clothes, shoes, and even leftover food piled everywhere. The cakes were spilled all over the floor.
The room was in a mess, and at first glance, there was nowhere to go.
There was even a faint stench in the air.
Qiu Che held his nose and thought for a while: "Only Qiu Zhe can do such a thing."
Yu Yan snorted coldly, and immediately held the wooden sword in his hand and rushed towards Qiu Zhe's yard.
Yu Ming grabbed him.
"Don't be impulsive, Master..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Che walked faster than Yu Yan and had already gone straight to Qiu Zhe's Chongming Courtyard.
Only her fluttering final voice was left in the wind: "What are you doing standing still? Go back to the house and sleep, I'll be right back."
Yuming was stunned: "..."
It couldn't be that, was it what she thought?
Qiu Zhe was sleeping soundly in the quilt. When someone pulled him out, he started up and shook his limbs in panic: "Who... who!"
Qiu Che pulled his hair and looked at him coldly: "I'm sleeping well." Okay? My dear brother?"
Behind her, the few servants who had failed to stop her were trembling together, their faces were bruised and bruised, and they did not dare to step forward.
Astonishingly, he was beaten out by Qiu Che.
Qiu Che is about the same height as Qiu Zhe, and is even slightly taller than Qiu Zhe. His pulling movements should not be too easy.
Qiu Zhe looked at her with a pale face as if he had seen a ghost. After a while, he came back to his senses and yelled: "Qiu Che, are you sick? Why are you coming to my yard in the middle of the night!"
Qiu Che accurately predicted him. drool, turned his head to avoid it, grabbed his hair with his backhand and pulled it down, making him scream in agony.
She said indifferently, "I should say this - why are you so crazy that you put so many clutter in my room?"
Qiu Zhe grinned in pain and still sneered: "You have already gone out of the city. Isnât that room useless? The entire Qiu family will be mine in the future. I can put things wherever I want!â
âIt turns out itâs really yours...â Qiu Che paused thoughtfully. After a pause, he seriously commented, "Your socks smell really weird."
One of the boys behind him couldn't help but laugh.
Qiu Zhe: "..."
His face turned red with shame and anger, but Qiu Che was too lazy to listen to his nonsense anymore. He threw the baggage he brought back inside and pulled him out with this gesture. Go out the door.
"You're right. Since it's all your stuff, you can sleep there tonight."
Anyway, there aren't any of her belongings in the yard, so Qiu Zhe'ai just wants the pig's nest.
A group of boys moved out of the way at a loss, but no one dared to stop them.
Qiu Zhe was dragged so hard that he staggered. However, Qiu Che had martial arts skills. As a big man, he couldn't even pull Qiu Che's hand away. He could only scream like a pig butchering:
"Qiu Che." Che, let me go! ...Are you crazy! If you donât let me go, do you believe it or not?â
Qiu Che said unmoved. Footsteps: "That's really great, thank you for your kindness."
Qiu Zhe: "..."
He wailed all the way and was dragged into Lianzhu Pavilion. A lot of his hair was pulled off by Qiu Che, and he screamed loudly. Complete the entire Qiu Mansion.
When Qiu Chudong arrived in panic and disheveled with Mrs. Liu after hearing the news, he saw Qiu Che inserting the bolt of the door neatly.
Then he clapped his hands, as if he couldn't hear Qiu Zhe's frantic knocking on the door and yelling inside. He turned around and saw the stunned people. He tilted his head slightly with a look of surprise on his face: "Father, Madam?"
"Why are you here? ?"
Qiu Chudong raised her hand tremblingly, pointing to the door she had locked: "You..."
"Oh, you said this," Qiu Che smiled, raised his hand on the door bolt, and said casually, "No need. Worry, there is a dog barking, I have already taken care of it."
Qiu Chudong and Mrs. Liu: "..."
Mrs. Liu immediately said "cheap hoof" in her throat. As soon as she took a step, she was pulled by Qiu Chudong again. Stop and give him a hard look.
She paused for a moment, her angry and worried eyes darting back and forth between Qiu Che and the door behind her, but she didn't say anything.
Just his whole body was shaking with rage.
"Then I won't disturb you two!"
Qiu Che happily passed by the two of them, bringing up a breeze. "I'm going to sleep first. I have to attend the palace banquet tomorrow. You also remember to rest early -"
Qiu Chudong: "Where are you going to sleep?"
"Brother was generous and gave me his Chongming Courtyard. Also. He said that if he doesn't tidy up the yard, he won't be able to live there again. "
"Ah, brother is so kind,"
Qiu Che made a prayer gesture of "Amitabha" and said gratefully, "Father doesn't have to worry. "
Qiu Chudong: "..."
Qiu Zhe, who was still yelling at the door: "..."
Who gave it to you! How shameless!
