The Nine Chapters of Mystery(1/2)
Jiangzhou City is the largest city in Maozhou, and the Su Family Courtyard dozens of miles away also falls under its jurisdiction, so Su Wangting is very familiar with the layout of this city.
In his impression, the Shuangyue Tower had existed since he was a child, and he heard that it had been open for more than forty years.
According to older people, Shuangyue Tower only rented a few small storefronts in the south end of the city. Later, the business became more and more prosperous and the scale grew bigger and bigger. More than ten years ago, it bought a building in a prosperous area of the city.
A large piece of land was used to build this magnificent six-story building.
It is said that the reasons for its enduring business are: first, there are many beautiful girls, which dazzle the customers; second, the girls change quickly, which satisfies the nature of the pleasure-seeking customers who like the new and dislike the old.
The lower two floors of the building are used for normal inn business, while the upper four floors are a place for fireworks for those looking for flowers and willows.
The last time Su Wangting stayed with Murong Yunxiu was on the second floor, and the four floors above him didn't really know what it was like.
But one thing is certain, the poisonous man must be extremely familiar with the above four levels.
The back door of Shuangyue Tower is indeed a narrow and dark bluestone alley as Situ Kong said.
Su Wangting walked slowly along the back wall of Shuangyue Tower. Finally, at the foot of an inconspicuous wall, some dark red could be faintly seen under the moss.
Su Wangting knelt down and wiped away the moss with his hands.
The dark red turned into bright red.
It is exactly the cloud-shaped mark that Situ Kong mentioned!
Su Wangting began to feel that his apple was not worth it.
Because this simple pattern looked very sloppy, and the lines were shaky, he secretly thought that even if it wasn't drawn by a child, it was probably painted by some bored guy on a whim.
"Okay! You're here, let's go in and take a look!"
Su Wangting clapped his hands and stood up, walking to the main entrance of Shuangyue Tower.
But as soon as he crossed the threshold, a waiter ran over and waved his hands to Su Wangting: "Get out, get out! Look at how dirty you are, is this a place you can afford to relax?"
Su Wangting lowered his head and took a look. Indeed, he had been traveling for days and was covered in dust.
The last time he came with Murong Yunxiu, he was also covered in gray, but the rich girl walked in and took the money, and the clerk naturally greeted her with a smile.
"Haha, can't you come in if you're dirty?"
The waiter began to push, and while pushing, he shouted: "Dirty means poor, poor means no money, what can you do if you don't have money! Leave quickly!"
Su Wangting touched his arms.
Well, I really have no money!
He forgot to take away the stack of banknotes that Murong Jie gave him in the oasis hut in the desert!!
With the little money I have, I really can't afford to amuse myself.
Su Wangting pointed to the door: "Look at my horse, can it be exchanged for a drink?"
The waiter was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Brother, your horse is so skinny, how much is it worth? I said if you are addicted to alcohol, you can go to some cheap wine shops, why do you have to come to Shuangyue Tower?
?”
Su Wangting shrugged and turned around.
There is no choice but to go out.
This is the case in the land of fireworks. If you have money, you become an uncle; if you don't have money, you become a grandson.
"Wait a minute!"
Just as he was about to go out, a woman's voice came from behind him.
Su Wangting turned around and saw a woman with heavy makeup walking slowly towards her. The waiter got out of the way and nodded and bowed to the woman.
"Shopkeeper, why are you down here? There is a poor guy here who wants to come in to eat and drink, and the little one is chasing him away."
The woman ignored the man and walked slowly around Su Wangting, looking at him up and down with a pair of charming eyes with a smile on her face.
"Waiter, have you forgotten what I said?" Although the woman was talking to the waiter, her eyes stayed on Su Wangting's face.
The guy scratched his head: "Words? What words?"
"If you meet a good-looking man, please go upstairs to entertain him."
Su Wangting raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Oh? And there is this rule? Good-looking men don't have to spend money?"
The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, nodding slightly: "Yes."
"What about my appearance?"
The woman stretched out her jade finger and poked Su Wangting's chest lightly, and said with a charming smile: "You look like enough to be able to eat and drink for free at Shuangyue Tower for three years."
Su Wangting looked up to the sky and laughed twice. He cupped his hands and said, "The shopkeeper is really proud of me. Could it be that you are still picking on customers? Are you still not entertaining guests who don't look good?"
The woman smiled and said, "Yes, we are just pickers. The uglier you are, the more money we charge, and the prettier you are, the less we charge."
Su Wangting raised the corner of his mouth: "Then...can I not spend any money at all?"
The woman's smile made her branches tremble: "You look like this, I want to pay you money to beg you to come and have fun, hehehe..."
Su Wangting touched his face.
Well, it seems that it looks good and is useful.
When she was feeling proud, the woman took Su Wangting's hand and started to go up the stairs: "Follow me up quickly. I will arrange a nice private room for you and call some beautiful girls to accompany you."
Su Wangting said with a smile: "Hey, how can this be so embarrassing? Then I would like to thank the shopkeeper for his kindness... I'd rather be respectful than obey my orders?"
"Don't call me shopkeeper, Duo Shengfen, just call me Ruyan. Hahaha, come with me!"
With the woman's push and pull, the two went up to the fourth floor.
But as soon as he arrived on the fourth floor, he saw a big man going crazy with alcohol, telling the girls that he was neglecting him and wanted to kill them.
The big man was so big that even the four or five waiters could not stop him, and they were all easily thrown to the ground by him.
Ruyan snorted softly and rolled her eyes: "Hey... he looks like a wild boar. It's good to let him in. But you still dislike my girl for being lazy?"
After saying that, Ruyan winked, and the two enchanting girls walked over and supported the big man, with fake smiles full of disgust on their faces.
"Hey~~Uncle, if there is any negligence, let us two make amends! There are many guests coming and going here, how about we go back to the room and talk while having a drink?"
While they were talking, the two girls were already helping the drunkard away, one on the left and the other on the right.
But Su Wangting frowned when he looked at the scene in front of him.
The drunken man could not even hold him back just now with four or five waiters, but now he was actually being helped away by two seemingly weak women?
Looking closely at the hands of the two women grabbing the big man's arms, it was obvious that they were secretly exerting force.
However, no matter how hard the two petite women exerted themselves, they could not easily lift a man weighing over 200 kilograms away.
There is only one answer.
Internal force!!
These women are not ordinary people!!
There must be some skill in him!!
"Interesting..." Su Wangting raised the corners of his mouth and licked his lips.
It seems that Situ Kong’s suspicion may actually have some truth to it?
At this time, Ruyanjiao said angrily: "Hey, your eyes are straight! Follow me to the private room quickly. We have many more beautiful girls here than those two, so don't be greedy anymore, hehehe...
…”
Su Wangting remained calm and followed Ruyan away.
In the private room, the round table was covered with exquisite dishes, and several girls gathered around Su Wangting, chatting and laughing. Su Wangting was just showing off, hugging him from left to right, and fed one glass after another of wine into his mouth.
After Ruyan toasted a few glasses of wine, she said she was going to entertain other guests and would come back to accompany her in person later.
After speaking, Ruyan winked at a girl next to Su Wangting, and the two hurriedly left the private room.
He saw these details clearly.
Although Su Wangting's face was full of drunken giggles, at this moment he was sneering in his heart.
If you look good, you can have fun for free?
What about fooling ghosts? How can there be such nonsense rules in the world?
Is your father a chick?
Well, let’s enjoy it first and see what kind of medicine they are selling in their gourds.
Although he was thinking like this, half an hour later, Su Wangting collapsed on the ground, no matter how the girls called him, there was no response.
At this time, Ruyan pushed the door open again and entered.
Her face was as dark as water, and she said softly: "Is it done?"
A girl pointed at Su Wangting, who was lying on the ground, and nodded: "Don't worry, we gave him a double dose of medicine. He won't wake up until tomorrow morning."
Ruyan walked up to Su Wangting, knelt down, and patted his face.
No response.
