Chapter 86 Hua Manlou’s Dilemma
Huangfu Chou glanced at Zhao Tang and ignored him.
He walked straight to the dock and boarded the red boat that Hua Feifei and the others were on!
Zhao Tang felt very miserable.
He tried so hard to establish his own image in front of the Yan family.
After all, the Minister of Justice is old and will have to retire sooner or later.
According to seniority, he should have been the one in charge .
However, there are several young people in the Ministry of Justice whose family backgrounds are more powerful than his.
So when he heard that his master's ghost-seeing creature had gone missing, he quickly took on the responsibility.
…
Zhao Tang said to Yan Mou, "Master Yan, if that living devil Huangfu Chou reports me to His Majesty, you must ask the Grand Tutor to say a few good words for me. I am doing this for you..."
"You did this for us? Humph...what have you done for us? If you had stood up a little more, I would have looked up to you! A fence-sitter!" Yan Mou was so angry that he had no place to vent it. He cursed Zhao Tang and turned away.
After walking a few steps, Yan Mou said to Zhao Tang, "You'd better go and check it out quickly. Gui Jianchou is the most capable person around my grandfather! If you can't find out, let alone being a minister, I'm afraid your career as a minister will be over!"
After saying that, Yan Mou left.
After hearing this, Zhao Tang cursed with a bitter face, "Fuck, who did I offend... Why are you bullying me!"
…
In the red boat.
Xie Xunfeng said to Huangfu Chou, "Huangfu Ling, thank you for helping me out..."
Huangfu Chou glanced at Xie Xunfeng calmly and said, "Don't thank me. You have no face in front of me! If you want to thank someone, thank Shopkeeper Hua."
Seeing this, Hua Feifei grabbed Huangfu Chou's arm and said with a chuckle, "Xie Jizi, don't listen to him. He has such a bad temper. He has mentioned you several times, saying that he and you have a feeling of mutual respect."
When Huangfu Chou heard Hua Feifei say this, he was not angry, but looked at Hua Feifei with a doting face.
???
Xie Xunfeng was stunned!
He really didn't expect it.
He had thought of many possibilities, but this one was totally unexpected.
I didn't expect that the person behind Hua Feifei was actually Huangfu Chou.
This also explains why Huangfu Chou, in a certain sense, is second only to one man in Longyang City.
Even some powerful people would not dare to provoke Huangfu Chou, the living devil, to bring bad luck upon themselves!
However, judging from Minister Zhao's attitude towards Hua Feifei just now, he probably doesn't know the relationship between the two.
Huangfu Chou saw Xie Xunfeng's expression and said, "What's the matter? Do you have any objection?"
Xie Xunfeng looked at Huangfu Chou's expression and couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying, "No, I just think it's quite strange... "
Hua Feifei chuckled and did not continue the topic.
Then he turned to Xie Xunfeng and said, "Xie Jizi, you must have something to ask you."
Xie Xunfeng said to Hua Feifei, "Yes, I do need your help with something."
Hua Feifei nodded, but since they were on the boat, she didn't ask any more questions.
The red boat did not dock at the main entrance, but instead docked at one side, and then entered through a small door on the side.
That way no one will find out.
Go straight to the top floor where Hua Feifei lives.
Hua Feifei invited Xie Xunfeng to sit down and then went to make tea.
Huangfu Chou said to Xie Xunfeng, "How is the matter that His Majesty asked you to investigate going?"
In front of Huangfu Chou, Xie Xunfeng did not pretend.
"It has been preliminarily confirmed that the assassination case has an obvious connection with the organization of the Thirteen Giants, but who the mastermind is still needs to be investigated. By the way, do you know the list of the Thirteen Giants?" Xie Xunfeng asked Huangfu Chou.
Huangfu Chou said, "I've heard of it. It's said to be the son of Huitong Commercial Bank, Fu Qian. There's also the young prince Wu Rendi from Zhenbei Palace. There's also Yuan Yuan from Jiaodong Yuan family, and that Yan Mou just now... I'm not sure about the others. If you need anything, I can help you check."
"Thank you very much!"
"By the way, who is your master? I knew you were good at fighting, but I didn't expect that you could kill Guijianchou alone? We must have a sparring match when we have the chance," Huangfu Chou said to Xie Xunfeng.
"You are even less of a match for me!" Xie Xunfeng said very bluntly.
Huangfu Chou saw Xie Xunfeng's confidence and said, "How about giving it a try?"
"Okay, you really are no match for Xie Zhizi. I heard from Huiyin that Xie Zhizi killed Guijianchou with just one move. How can you be a match for Xie Zhizi?" Hua Feifei came up with a pot of tea and said with a smile.
After saying that, he poured tea for the two of them.
"Xie Zhizi, you can speak now. Huangfu is the person I trust the most!" Hua Feifei said to Xie Xunfeng.
Xie Xunfeng nodded slightly and asked Hua Feifei, "Did what I asked you to do go smoothly?"
When Hua Feifei heard Xie Xunfeng mention this matter, she nodded repeatedly and said, "It went so smoothly. As soon as the poems you gave me were published, they caused a huge sensation in the literary world of Longyang City! Everyone was looking for the person who wrote the poems. When they found out it was Miss Huiyin, they all wanted to see Huiyin's face."
"I also let her sing the song you arranged at the right time, and Huiyin immediately became the most popular person in the entire Longyang City. Even Old Master Wen invited Huiyin to his house today. It is said that Old Master Wen appreciates Huiyin's talent and intends to adopt Huiyin as his adopted daughter!"
"Oh? There is such a thing. It is really a great happy event..." Xie Xunfeng said with some surprise.
"All this is thanks to you, Xie Hongzi. You are Huiyin's benefactor. And even more so our Hua Manlou's benefactor." Hua Feifei said.
"You said that I am Huiyin's benefactor, and I don't deny it. As for calling me the benefactor of your Huamanlou, that's too much." Xie Xunfeng said.
Hua Feifei shook her head and said, "Xie Jizi, you don't know... our Hua Manlou is actually not as glamorous as it looks on the surface..."
Hua Feifei followed Xie Xunfeng and told him about Hua Manlou's current predicament.
That is , although the main focus is elegance.
However, over the years, the brothels in Longyang City have learned a lot from Hua Manlou.
He also poached many of her courtesans at high prices.
Hua Feifei has always focused on performing arts to make money, and the sex trade is only a small part of it.
But their talents are not impossible to replicate, and others can copy them very quickly.
What’s more, people there are having a lot of fun!
Gradually, their talents were not outstanding, and because Hua Feifei's focus was not on the sex trade, this aspect was even worse than other areas.
This means losing some core competitiveness
The only advantage she has now is the geographical location of Huamanlou and the reputation accumulated over the years.
But Hua Feifei also discovered that Hua Manlou had been living off its past capital.
And her mainstays now are her disciples.
If Xie Xunfeng hadn't appeared, she would have wanted to change her business strategy and follow other brothels.
Now, Xie Xunfeng's poems are undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Hua Manlou!
