Arou recognized Yang Fan at a glance, as if she had seen the savior, and hurriedly said, "Young Master Yang, you don't recognize me anymore. I am Arou!"

Yang Fan looked carefully and then recognized that the woman named Rouer was actually Arou, a maid from the Su family.

When she was at the Su family in Hangzhou, Yang Fan and A Rou had sex with A Rou, but at that time A Rou was the maid of the Su family's wife. When the Su family was seized, Mrs. Su ran away with the butler Huang Quan. A Rou disappeared, but she never wanted to meet here.

Yang Fan said in surprise: "Arou, why are you here?"

Arou cried and said, "When the Su family was sealed, Arou had nowhere to go. She originally thought she could follow Mrs. Su, but Huang Quan was insidious and secretly sold Arou to a human trafficker, and was finally sold here!"

Yang Fan immediately said angrily: "So it's this bastard Huang Quan!"

Zheng Jing and the old brothel and Zi had known each other for a long time when they saw Yang Fan and A Rou, and their expressions were different, and they didn't know what Yang Fan would do next.

I heard Arou beg for painstakingly: "Young Master Yang, please save Arou, Arou doesn't want to be a prostitute!"

Yang Fan signaled Arou not to worry. He turned to the old pony boy and smiled and said, "Sister, you have seen it too. This Arou girl follows you and ask her to be magnanimous and let Arou go."

The old madam O'Zi smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master Yang is really admirable to the world. But Rou'er will fly when he comes out to accompany the guests on the first day. If this matter is spread, how can I discipline other children in the future? Besides, I have worked hard to train Rou'er for more than a month, and it costs a lot. This book has not been back yet..."

Yang Fan immediately interrupted her and said, "I understand what my sister means. I thank my sister for taking care of A Rou in the past month. How much has my sister spent? I will pay it twice as much. My sister is also a woman. Please understand A Rou's suffering and make it convenient!"

Every word of Yang Fan's words is so good that it is not dragged on, and it is directly the key point.

Zheng Jing glanced at Yang Fan high, nodded, and said to the old pony boy: "I said that the old pony boy, the crime of trafficking is not light, but because Miss Arou has not suffered substantial harm, this captain will not pursue it. How about Miss Arou's freedom?"

Zheng Jing's words are also straightforward, and can be regarded as threats or as persuasions.

The old brothel, O'Zi, was unwilling to be willing to offend Zheng Jing, so she could only let A Rou go, but she was not the one who suffered a loss, so she smiled and said in a charming smile: "Captain Zheng naturally has to give face, and I still hope that you will cover my business in the future! I am not a poisonous woman. Since Mr. Yang is willing to redeem Rou'er, I will only sell a favor. As long as Mr. Yang is willing to pay 5,000 guan, he can take Rou'er away!"

This old pony boy is quite smart. He does not offend Zheng Jing, and also makes Zheng Jing owe her a favor. At the same time, she saw that Yang Fan was dressed in an ordinary manner, thinking that calling a high price of 10,000 yuan would scare Yang Fan away and make him give up the idea of ​​redeeming A Rou.

When Zheng Jing heard the 10,000 yuan redemption fee, he was shocked. This money was enough to buy twenty maids with good facial features even in the capital.

Arou screamed in shock. She was sold to the Su family as a maid by her parents for only 100% of her life. Although she was still young at that time, she knew that the old ponytail had only spent 10,000 yuan when she bought her from human traffickers. Now she asked Yang Fan for a redemption fee of 10,000 yuan, which made her pretty face pale.

A Rou didn't think Yang Fan was willing to spend ten thousand yuan for her. After all, the two were not close or unfamiliar, and there was no friendship.

However, to everyone's surprise, Yang Fan nodded and was very straightforward.

Yang Fan took out a silver note worth 10,000 yuan from his arms and handed it directly to the old brothel and said, "This is a national bill, a silver note worth 10,000 yuan, my sister has collected it!"

Arou exclaimed again. She never expected Yang Fan to be so righteous, and she did not hesitate to spend ten thousand yuan to help her redeem herself.

Zheng Jing was in a daze. He wanted to help Yang Fan cut the price, but Yang Fan gave the money directly.

The old O-Big Bo-O-Zi was stunned. She had been in a long history of elegance and had a deep understanding of all kinds of women. She knew the most clearly what kind of women would lose money and what kind of women could make money for her. When the old O-Big Bo-O-Zi traded with human traffickers, she had a unique vision and discovered A Rou's potential at first sight. After more than a month of careful training, she was even more sure that A Rou would definitely be able to make a good money for her when she was extraordinary in the future.

The old brothel had no intention of letting A Rou go at all, but she was careless for a moment and did not see where Yang Fan came from. As a result, she was full of words and had to suffer at this moment.

"It turns out that Mr. Yang is actually a rich man! I am so clumsy!" The old brothel, O'Ziqiang, said with a smile. Anyone could tell that she looked reluctant.

Yang Fan is indeed rich, with the 300,000 guan silver notes he won from Zhang Yang in his arms. He had just paid 10,000 guan and 290,000 guan.

But Yang Fan didn't want to show off his wealth in front of Zheng Jing, so he laughed and said, "Sister is joking. Where are you like a rich man? You just have only ten thousand coins on your body!"

The old brothel and Zheng Jing believed it, but the former looked regretful and shouldn't have asked for more regret just now. The latter was full of admiration for Yang Fan's generosity and righteousness, and already had the idea of ​​having a deep friendship with Yang Fan.

The old pony boy reluctantly handed Arou's contract to Yang Fan, and Yang Fan directly handed over to Arou.

Looking at her contract of selling her body, Arou's delicate body trembled violently, and she immediately knelt in front of Yang Fan, crying with joy, and vowed to repay her great kindness as well as a cow or a horse.

Yang Fan smiled slightly and stepped forward to help A Rou up. Even if the other party was a woman he didn't know, Yang Fan would not sit idly by as long as the other party asked for help from him. He was such a person, and would be extremely cruel to the enemy and do everything he could. But to others, it was just the opposite. He was very soft-hearted, as if he had a tofu heart.

Yan'er didn't say anything. She kept paying attention to Yang Fan's every move, admired Yang Fan's righteous and heroic behavior, and was also happy that A Rou escaped from the sea of ​​suffering.

Yan'er is a woman who has experienced a lot of scenes. She suddenly said: "Young Master Yang and Sister Arou meet old friends in a foreign land! Come on, let's celebrate with a good life!"

After Yan'er said this, Zheng Jing immediately understood and shouted that Yang Fan and A Rou sat down together.

Yan'er was able to speak eloquently and soon made the atmosphere in the private room warm.

Zheng Jing and Yang Fan brag about the world, while Arou and Yan'er served each other, adding wine and soup to the two of them, and said a few words from time to time.

Yang Fan had a plan in mind, and kept asking Zheng Jing about King Rui Zhao Ji, such as Zhao Ji’s preferences, where he often went, who he had a good relationship with, etc.

Zheng Jing was the chief chief of Kaifeng Prefecture, and his information was naturally well-informed. Yang Fan learned a lot of secret matters about Zhao Ji from him, many of which were never mentioned in history books.

It is no wonder that Zhao Ji was the future emperor of the Song Dynasty, so he would naturally modify historical books and not allow historians to mention his personal privacy too much.

Yang Fan received an important news. Zhao Ji was very proud. Although he already had a princess, he often sneaked around the prostitute house for alternative excitement, and was even a regular visitor to Lingxiao Pavilion.

Yang Fan can be sure that this news is correct. After all, Zhao Ji's history is difficult to cover up in history books, and this habit is definitely not started by becoming an emperor.

"Captain Zheng knows that King Rui often likes that woman?"

"Even if the top players in Lingxiao Pavilion are beautiful and are a hundred times more beautiful than Princess Rui, they are still prostitutes and relatives of King Rui. Although they are a little bit arrogant, they will never always be with any woman. This is really hard to say!"

Yang Fan understood this truth, and it seemed that he had to investigate King Rui carefully before making plans.

Seeing that Yang Fan was particularly concerned about King Rui Zhao Ji, Zheng Jing asked: "Why are Brother Yang so concerned about King Rui?"

Yang Fan smiled slightly and said, "Just ask!"

Seeing that Yang Fan was unwilling to answer, Zheng Jing was not inconvenient to ask more questions. He lent a sip of wine and continued, "King Rui is not something that people of you and me can see when they say it. However, next month, the fifteenth day of the capital will be held at the annual flower review list, and that King Rui should be participating."

Yang Fan said curiously: "Flower Review List? What is that?"

Zheng Jing suddenly looked intoxicated and explained to Yang Fan.

As the name suggests, the flower review list is a beauty selection system specially designed for ** Geisha in ancient times. The beauties selected immediately have a hundred times the value, which is essentially the same as the various "beauty pageants" or disguised "beauty pageants" competitions today.

The flower review list started in the eighth year of Xining in the Northern Song Dynasty. The prostitute "beauty pageant" initiated by a group of declining literati was called the "flower review list". Although it is a pathological or deformed aesthetic taste, which makes people feel a bit funny or boring, it objectively creates a group of famous prostitutes, the so-called "famous scholars taste famous flowers, and famous flowers rely on famous scholars". This is more or less a bit like some stars today, and is often made famous by a famous scholar. At the same time, this abnormal "beauty pageant" activity has stimulated the prosperity of industries such as ** and taverns to a certain extent, so it was acquiesced by the court.

There were countless literati who came to the Song Dynasty, spread all over the country, so there was a flower review list in every prosperous place, but the time and scale of the holding were different.

"The flower evaluation list in Beijing is the largest in the country. At that time, the top 64 prostitutes in Bianjing will show off their top beauties hidden in their homes. At that time, they will compete on the same stage to compete for the first and second rankings. The beauties who can enter the first ranking will definitely be beautiful. I believe that King Rui will not miss it!"

Yang Fan has gained a lot of knowledge. This kind of grand occasion is too lethal for men, and Yang Fan is no exception.

At this time, Yan'er suddenly smiled and said, "Originally, the old brothel planned to let Arou sister represent Ruyilou to participate in the flower evaluation competition, but unexpectedly, Young Master Yang intercepted her halfway. With Arou sister's appearance and talent, she might be able to reach the second and third grades, and her value doubled."

Arou shook her head and said, "Sister Yan'er is so proud of Arou. Arou is an inconspicuous little girl with an ordinary appearance and dare not expect any reputation. Now she only wants to stay with Mr. Yang for the rest of her life and be a little maid. If she can repay Mr. Yang, she will be content."

Yang Fan looked at A Rou and saw that she had beautiful facial features, bright eyes and embroidered eyebrows, fair skin, long hair at waist, and a gorgeous and bright high-end outfit. With the careful training of the old brothel, her appearance and temperament had undergone qualitative changes, and she was actually a rare beauty.

Yang Fan sighed inwardly. It was probably because Su Tingting was too beautiful, so beauties like Arou became inconspicuous under Su Tingting's light.
