After thinking about it carefully, Nanfeng had an idea.
The fat man was tall and thick, and the little prostitute was already jealous. However, she was greedy for money and didn't want to lose her business. It was not difficult to figure out a countermeasure after understanding her thoughts.
Two steps, one is to pretend to be fierce and evil, making her feel fearful. The second is to pretend to be stupid and let her think she has an opportunity.
This was not difficult to do. In the end, the prostitute thought she had figured out the details of the two of them, so she tried her best to get them drunk until their glasses were dry.
Being drunk can't do anything. The little prostitute happily ran away, and the two slept comfortably all night.
The flower house only opened its doors in the afternoon to welcome guests. In the afternoon, the two of them repeated their old tricks and fell drunk again. They slept until midnight. When they got up, they didn't see the prostitute. Nanfeng went out and yelled, and some guests who stayed overnight scolded him for disturbing the peace. Nan Feng cursed and returned to the room.
You can be a fool for one day or two days, but you can't always be a fool, so Nanfeng changed his method. When the little prostitute came again, he would scold him fiercely. The little prostitute pretended to be pitiful, so Nanfeng pretended to be a fool. Be soft-hearted, and then have a heart-to-heart talk with him.
Most of the brothel girls would fabricate their tragic life experiences to earn money and tears, so Nanfeng fell for the trick and pretended to be sincere towards the prostitute. Since he was sincere, he would not bully her. In this way, two more days passed. Night.
On the night of the fourth day, a group of officers and soldiers came outside to search the flower building and arrest the imperial criminals. The owner of the flower building must have recognized the leader of the officers and soldiers, and took him aside to bribe him with money. He just said not to search, so as not to disturb the guests.
The leader who led the team was very embarrassed, saying that it was difficult to disobey the emperor's orders and to handle errands. If the prisoner was hiding here and the superiors knew about it, he would have to move his head.
"Their voices have become softer again, and I can't hear you clearly." The fat man whispered.
Just as Nanfeng was about to speak, the prostitute whom the two sent to get the wine returned. Nanfeng asked, "Why are there officers and soldiers down below?"
"It's said that the prisoner escaped and they want to search. Brother, just feel at ease. This flower building has a solid backing and they don't dare to come and search." The prostitute held a pot and poured wine. "Who is taking care of this flower house?" Nanfeng asked. Many gambling houses in flower houses are backed by the government, and black and white collude to benefit each other.
"Master Lin, Master Lin is the consul of Sima Mansion. Anyone who dares to come and cause trouble will be taken to jail and beaten to death." said the young prostitute.
Nanfeng pretended to feel at ease and nodded. This little guy thought he was smart and used Da Sima to bluff him. This was to scare him in advance so that he would not leave him after all his money was gone and he was afraid that he would cause trouble.
The head of Hualou negotiated with the leader for a long time, but in the end the leader still did not lead the team to retreat, but went upstairs to search.
The fat man was very nervous and restless, but Nanfeng was calm. Now that the matter had come to this, there was no point in being afraid. He ate and drank calmly and resigned himself to fate.
The two of them are currently on the third floor. After checking the second floor, the leader wanted to search the third floor again. The head of Hualou stopped him again, saying that the people living on the third floor were all distinguished guests and should not be offended.
The leader only said that he couldn't help himself and had to go upstairs to search. The owner of the Flower House pledged his property and life to guarantee that the guests on the third floor were definitely not criminals.
When the leader asked about the reason, the head of Hualou mentioned the names of two people, both of whom were prodigal young masters from official families, and the other two were drug dealers from the south.
The leader heard that there were outsiders and insisted on coming to search. The owner of the flower building pulled him to the window and pointed to the carriage containing herbs in the backyard for him to look at. He also said that the two of them were really medicine merchants. They were stupid and rich. If they left in shock, If you don't, you won't be able to scrape off their bones and squeeze out their oil.
When the leader saw the carriage full of medicinal herbs, he believed it, led the team downstairs, and left.
The officers and soldiers retreated, and Nanfeng and Fatty were relieved.
The fat man continued to sleep, and Nanfeng continued to deal with the little prostitute, thinking about the aftermath, such as ransom and marriage, speaking with false intentions and listening with false intentions.
In the middle of the night, the prostitute retreated and Nanfeng took off his shoes to rest. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Which one?" Nanfeng asked.
"Brother, it's me, bringing you a pot of hot water for you to drink at night." The young prostitute answered outside the door.
Nanfeng stood up and opened the door. When he opened the door, he found that not only the prostitute but also the brothel owner was standing outside the door.
The owner of the brothel was a man in his fifties. He pushed the prostitute away with a sullen face, stepped into the house, and closed the door behind him.
"How do you want to resolve this matter?" asked the head of Hualou.
Nanfeng frowned in confusion.
The head of the Flower House curled his lips and sneered, "I almost cost you your life. You and I have two ways to go. The first is to hand over the money and leave the Zuihua House. The second is to ask someone to capture you and send you to the government in exchange for Reward silver."
Nanfeng still didn't answer. Hearing the words of the Hualou master, he thought he had discovered their identities, but he didn't understand how the other party found out.
"I've seen the portraits of imperial prisoners they held," said the head of Hualou.
Nanfeng suddenly realized that the head of Hualou knew at that time that they were the prisoners being pursued by the officers and soldiers. The reason why he did not hand them over may be because he considered that if they were captured from here, Hualou would be suspected of harboring them. In order to avoid Only after being implicated did he try his best to stop the team of officers and soldiers from going upstairs to search.
Nanfeng didn't say much, walked to the bed, took the money bag, walked over and handed it to the head of the flower building, and then walked over to wake up the fat man.
"What are you doing?" The fat man drank too much and was a little confused.
"Let's go." Nanfeng said.
The fat man reluctantly got up and saw the owner of Hualou in the room. He was very confused, "What's wrong? What happened."
Nan Feng didn't say anything. He took the clothes and pulled the fat man out of the room, followed by the principal of Hualou.
When they arrived at the backyard, the owner of Hualou opened the courtyard door, and Nanfeng stepped out first.
"Our carriage and horses." The fat man pointed at the carriage.
"Let's go." Nanfeng urged.
"If you need to, you can drive the carriage away." The head of Hualou said.
Nanfeng shook his head, and he admired the owner of the flower building a little in his heart. Although this person did a business of harming people, he was very sophisticated. It is not easy to be retaliated against.
At this moment, the fat man already understood what happened and walked out of the yard.
The two of them came out of the yard and Nanfeng was about to walk. At this moment, the owner of the flower building said, "Wait a minute."
Nanfeng tilted his head when he heard the sound, and the owner of Hualou threw the money bag to him, "Make a friend."
Nanfeng took the money bag in his hand, glanced at the owner of the flower building, turned around and left without saying a word.
The fat man quickly followed up, "Did you reveal your secret?"
Nan Feng nodded.
"Does this guy recognize us?" the fat man asked again.
Nanfeng nodded again.
"This guy is pretty good," the fat man said.
This time Nanfeng didn't nod. I can't say that the owner of this flower house is good. I can only say that he is very smart and knows how to take the long term to catch big fish. Regardless of whether he has seen through the other party's intentions, he must accept this favor. If there is a chance in the future, he must return. Everyone in the world thinks that bad people are stupid, but this is not the case. Bad people are often smarter, more powerful, and better at scheming than good people.
There were obviously many more officers and soldiers patrolling the night in the past few days than before. Not far away, a group of officers and soldiers passed by on patrol. The two were hiding in the dark. The group of officers and soldiers walked by not far away while talking, but they were not found.
"Where are we going now?" the fat man asked.
Nanfeng didn't answer. He couldn't think of a place to go. The wind was blowing hard and he couldn't leave the city.
"It really doesn't work..."
"I won't go back." Nanfeng interrupted the fat man, "By the way, what were the officers and soldiers in the team talking about just now?"
"You seem to be scolding someone," the fat man said.
"Follow me and listen to what they are saying." Nanfeng said. The officers and soldiers just now seemed to be saying that they would go to the camp outside the city to train new recruits tomorrow and they should not be on duty tonight.
"What do you want to do?" The fat man didn't know why.
"Follow me quickly and listen for a while. I'll wait for you here. Be careful and don't get too close." Nanfeng urged. His ears and eyes were not as far as before, but not as far away as the fat man.
The fat man responded and quickly followed.
Nanfeng hid in the dark, waiting for the fat man to come back. At this time, the city gate guards were conducting a strict investigation. It was extremely difficult to get out of the city, but if he could join the ranks, he would definitely be able to get out of the city smoothly.
After half a stick of incense, the fat man came back and said, "You are still smart. What an opportunity. The recruits from the recruitment camp will gather at the main camp tomorrow. They don't recognize each other, so we can mix in."
After an update, the two came to the Nancheng Recruitment Office. There was a temporary camp in the Recruitment Office, where the recruited recruits stayed temporarily. There were more than a dozen temporary barracks, and the security was not tight.
"What should I do?" the fat man asked.
"Don't worry, let's take a look first and then talk..."
