Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Stunning Singer

In Lixiada Port, Chibi Street runs through the north and south, and the houses on both sides are ninety percent of the glazed tiles of the vermilion wall, and the whole piece of red color, so it is called Chibi Street.

On the street, the door door, the lanterns are colorful, full of colorful lanterns of different styles, the brilliance shines on the visitors, weaves a prosperous scene, the aroma of wine, rouge is pervasive, the sound of silk and bamboo on both sides, the symphony is scattered, on the platform, everywhere the warbler swallow swallow, Qiluo weaving beautiful.

Chibi Street, originally the largest Fengyue District in Hong Kong City, restaurants, brothels, song houses are lined up, is one of the most prosperous areas in the city, countless high rollers, here a million gold, leaning on the red and green, greedy for the joy of the day and night, but also in the staggered cups, countless transactions, business, in which to complete.

Celebrities in the Hong Kong market, whether it is a banquet or a drink, all like to go to Chibi Street, although it is said that as long as they can afford the money, Chibi Street does not refuse, but in the list of restaurants and brothels, there are still some characters who are listed as headache guests, in addition to the inferior wine, rich and love Hu Lai's evil guests, there is also a category......

Carriages and sedan chairs stopped in front of the brothels everywhere, and every time they stopped, before the people above came down, a large number of people went up, or the people of the brothels, or acquaintances, crowded into the house, and at this moment, when a gorgeous carriage came from afar, the waiters at the gate of the red-sleeved courtyard greeted them one after another.

The carriage style is luxurious, the carriage is made of ebony refined, the top is inlaid with gold, engraved with gorgeous patterns, all are strange beast totems, the claws, the eyes are decorated with colorful spars, it is really a lot of ingenuity, at a glance, you know, this is the car of the wealthy family that smashed a lot of money, and the people who ride in it are either nobles or rich merchants.

However, when they saw the lantern hanging on the carriage, with a big word "Wen" written on it, the waiters who were about to rush to meet and collect the bounty were like seeing a ghost, and immediately stopped and avoided one after another.

"Wen Qu is sick?"

"It's going to be restless again!"

"I don't know what kind of battle it was this time? The last time he went to Qifeng Courtyard, the gate of the courtyard was burned. ”

"It's not like the one in the Red Sleeves Building, the whole building was completely destroyed. ”

As he spoke, the carriage stopped, but the door opened, and before the people above got down, there was a sudden shout next to him.

"Kill!"

Several black-clothed men with their heads and faces covered, dancing with iron-smelted mallets, shouting and shouting, rushed at high speed, and came straight to the carriage.

"Today, only one person will be punished and skinned, and the rest will not be asked!"

"Kill the big profiteer Wen Qiandao!"

"Wen Quai, I'll kill your whole family!"

Like a mad tiger, several big men danced with steel chain mallets, rushed all the way, people on the road avoided one after another, Chibi Street suddenly rioted, and when they were about to run to the carriage, the mallet smashed out, touched the carriage, but it was like hitting an invisible wall, a huge iron ball, was bounced out.

The iron ball was useless, the closed car door opened, and several black water sprayed out, although there was still some distance between the big men, but none of them were spared, they were sprayed by the black water, and fell to the ground with a miserable howl, their bones melted and their flesh rotten, and they couldn't even stand steadily, rolling around on the ground.

After a short drive in front of the carriage, the door opened, and a black cloth shoe stepped out and stepped on a big man on the rolling ground.

"Well, the land is not peaceful...... Forget it, this world has never been peaceful, and he is a sincere and sincere person, and he is still assassinated all day long...... Will be. ”

With his sleeves straightened, Wen Qu got out of the car, stepped on the wounded who were still wailing, and walked forward to the friends of wine and meat who were coming towards him.

"Wow, Lao Wen, I really appreciate your ruthless handsomeness, come and come, but you just walked in on someone else's bones, how cold-blooded and cruel!

"Wen Yuan, don't talk nonsense, did I arrest them and kill them and throw them at the soles of their shoes? They are all here to kill me, why am I cruel, they are not cruel and not vicious? Don't wronged good people!"

"Of course, what do you Wen Dashao do for a living? The number one human trafficker in this city, the people who hate you can be expelled from the city, I don't know if there are any worse villains than you, no wonder there are so many people who want your life. ”

"Wronged, I am a serious businessman who has received the permission of the empire, abides by the laws and regulations of the state, and does business, not to mention that I seem to be breaking the law and discipline all day long. ”

Wen Quzhi coughed twice, and said: "I donate a lot of money every year, to those homeless orphans, I don't know how much porridge and rice, to those homeless, poor, I don't know how much to get, I am a great benevolent person who is recognized by the society, have you ever seen a bad guy donate so much money like me?"

"Yes, yes, it's been popular recently, the underworld and the bad guys are all donating a lot of money......"

Laughing and talking with these drinking friends, Wen Quzhi walked into the reserved box with them.

Wine friends are frequent visitors to this gold cave, can afford such consumption, of course, it will not be ordinary people, they are all the second generation of officials in Hong Kong City, the second generation of wealth, the family behind them also have their own expertise, salt sales, overseas trade, ship manufacturing, jewelry franchise, all of them have a simple background, there are many origins, connected together, can affect the commercial interests are more considerable.

The empire is still martial, and the status of merchants is quite discriminated against in other places, but in Yingyang County, which is led by the Zhu family, merchants are very courteous, but the slave traders' industries are special, and the children of ordinary serious families, regardless of their status, will not come to make friends with Wen Quai.

Things gather like things, and those big businessmen and big officials like to go out to have fun when they get sick. When he was still in his hometown, he was very famous as the "Wen family's prodigal son", he was handsome, liked women, often went overseas to foreign countries, saw and heard a lot, said some strange customs, everyone loved to listen, he played a good musical instrument, and spent money generously...... Such a character is naturally a banquet darling.

Wen Quzhi doesn't like this kind of banquet, his body is very unsuitable for such excessive drinking, but he still has to pretend to be heroic while drinking, which is really tasteless.

However, this kind of entertainment is still quite necessary, the second generation of officials and the second generation of rich, even if they are pantsless, they are also officials and rich, from their words, we can get a glimpse of the thoughts of those officials and businessmen, and make future judgments based on this.

Compared with those old people who have already rolled in the official shopping mall, Wen Quzhi thinks these little hairy heads are much cuter, although he is basically the same age as them......

Although the war that is about to start in the northwest has attracted the attention of the whole empire, these rich and small, vast and small, do not care much about the national conditions thousands of miles away, and do not care much about the family business, anyway, there are others to take care of, the only thing that interests them is the novelty, fashion trend play.

"Stop singing, stop singing! Live like a duck, what's the noise?"

Zhang Wenyuan, who was born as a son of a salt merchant, waved his hand to rebuke the singers singing in the box.

These singers are first-class choices regardless of their singing skills and appearances, and it costs a lot of money to let them sing in the wing room, and it is also a pomp to show their worth, but Zhang Wenyuan was bored and expelled them, and the rest of the people next to them found it interesting, and Tao Min, who had dozens of merchant ships at home, spoke.

"Wenyuan, you drive them away, then what should we listen to? It can't be that you sing it yourself, right? Then we have to find a hole to hide first, your singing can stop the children's night crying, hahaha~~~" There was a burst of laughter during the banquet, Zhang Wenyuan's face turned red, and he slapped the table and said: "You gang of muddy tents, all of them are taking me as a joke, hum, this class of vulgar fans, cranky and roaring, what's so good to hear? You frogs at the bottom of the well, I'll give you something really good." ”

After speaking, Zhang Wenyuan took out a conch from his arms and placed it on the table, all the people present were knowledgeable people, Zhao Xueer, who was born in an official family, was surprised, "Is it a gramophone conch? This thing is only produced overseas, it is better to use than the recording stone of the empire, and it can leave a longer sound, but it ...... It's not cheap. ”

Zhang Wenyuan said: "Is money such a thing as a matter for us? This time Lao Wen is here, if he doesn't take something of sufficient weight, won't he be underestimated?"

Tao Mincai said: "Although the gramophone conch is rare, it is not a rare treasure, Lao Wen is used to seeing rare treasures, you have to open his eyes, unless...... Voices in the conch......"

Everyone here was not stupid, and someone immediately thought of it and wondered: "Could it be ...... It's the batch that just arrived today, Xiangxue's ......"

"Xiangxue, everyone?"

"That Romanian singer?"

The last question, which was very small, swallowed back in the disdainful eyes of everyone.

Unlike inland metropolises, in this port city where it is easy to get information from overseas, you have never heard of the name of Xiangxue, and you are a representative of the outdated.

Xiangxue, is the singer of overseas romania, originally not famous, in recent years, it has been introduced to the empire, and it has caused a sensation as soon as it comes in, because in overseas countries, this name has been spread to the gods, and its amazing singing skills have been passed down together, and it is a variety of incredible miracles.

The blonde singer, about 16 years old, is charming and beautiful, and her singing voice is like a heavenly sound, so that the crew who are lost at sea can discern the direction and get life; it can make the army in war stop fighting and abandon its weapons, and eliminate the scourge of war; let the tyrant with a murderous heart shake and collapse, but he orders that no one should be harmed, and if he is disrespectful to him, he will provoke the army to retaliate.

The miraculous deeds created by her singing have almost become legendary, and some people say that her songs melt the snow and ice, and the flowers bloom through the frozen soil in winter, and a flock of butterflies appear...... to the point of absurdity and bizarreness.

But in any case, when her legendary story, accompanied by the mutilated singing, with the introduction of merchants from far away into the port of Lixiada, the citizens here are also crazy about it, in the past few years, the items related to her are all hot to the end of the goods, especially the recording stone she sings, even if there is a missing, every time it is shipped back from overseas, it has caused a commotion among the people, crazy rush to buy, and paralyzed the entire dock area.
