Chapter 13 Two women redeem themselves

"Why, you're not willing to have us two beauties accompany us for drinks? Do you know how many men out there spend a lot of money just to drink alone with us, but we never agree."

     Jiang Hongyun puffed up her chest several pounds and glanced at Zhao Mu charmingly.

     "Okay, you two are free to do it, but you can go to bed by yourself when you are drunk. Don't expect me to carry you up today, it will be hard!"

     "You said we were fat?"

     The two women glared at each other.

     "No, it's plump!"

     Zhao Mu took two bites of the food and prepared to practice.

     "You guy, why do you know how to practice every day? Why can't you do something interesting?"

     Jiang Hongyun scolded and pulled Zhao Mu to sit down again: "Let's talk for a while. Today we sisters have something serious to discuss with you."

     "What's up?"

     Zhao Mu was confused.

     Hua Xinzi put down the wine glass and smiled sweetly with her beautiful eyes: "The Nu family and Hongyun have discussed it and plan to redeem themselves and leave the Jiaofang Division while they are still clean."

     "Yes, we have already discussed it. After we leave the Jiaofang Division, we will jointly open a tavern and do small business every day. We don't ask for how much money we can make. We just hope that there will be someone who can drink freely without being annoyed by others. The place."

     Jiang Hongyun's face was rosy, and she slowly approached Zhao Mu: "How about it, my Lord Zhao, can you help me redeem my body in your name? After all, you also know that the Jiaofang Division does not allow prostitutes to redeem themselves, and they don't need money. If you come up with it, we can have it ourselves?"

     "Why do you have to come to me? Are there a lot of people out there willing to help you with this?"

     "Hmph, don't you know what those people are thinking?"

     Hua Xinzi hummed, "The reason why we sisters become gold medal courtesans is so that we can avoid sleeping with those annoying men. If we really let them redeem themselves, what difference will the result make?"

     "Yeah, those men make me sick when I see them, and they still recite poems to make excuses, and they don't even know what they are?"

     Jiang Hongyun's pretty face said with disdain: "What's more, some of the courtesans who have been ransomed since ancient times have ended badly. I don't want to get caught up in a fight inside the house and end up with no bones left."

     "You do trust me." Zhao Mu curled his lips.

     "You are different. We have seen it over the years. Although you are young, your temperament is the same as that of an old man. You will not fight for anything."

     "If we asked you to help redeem your life, you would probably be too lazy to talk to us normally and would only focus on practicing."

     "How many times have we been drunk at your place? Have you ever touched us? Sometimes I wonder if you can do it?"

     This is a bit humiliating.

     Zhao Mu glared at Jiang Hongyun. He seemed to have been too idle these years.

     When the delicious food reaches your mouth, do you really want to stop eating it?

     …

     The next day, Zhao Mu got up early and went to find Liang Xingnan to discuss ransoming the two women.

     These years in the Jiaofang Division, Zhao Mu has not been in vain, and he is very familiar with all aspects of the situation.

     Especially he knew Liang Xingnan very well.

     On the surface, this person looks generous and loyal, but in fact, he regards wealth as his life. It can be said that as long as the money is in place, there is nothing this person dares not do.

     Zhao Mu came to the door and offered to redeem the two women.

     At first, Liang Xingnan was just teasing Zhao Mu, who was usually idle, but finally he got his wits about him.

     But both inside and outside his words, he kept hinting that this matter was not easy to handle.

     However, when Zhao Mu took out a stack of thick banknotes, he immediately smiled and patted his chest to express that it would be no problem to leave the matter to him.

     He also gave Zhao Mu advice on how to redeem the two women from the Jiaofang Division with the least amount of money and in the most low-key way?

     For example, they asked a doctor to treat two women and announced that the two women were seriously ill.

     When the time comes, he will be able to use the power in his hands to stop the two women's performances and let the two women gradually fade out of the public eye.

     In a place like Jiaofangsi, where newcomers emerge in an endless stream, the powerful and wealthy people will forget the existence of the two women in as little as one month and as long as two or three months.

     By then, the value of the two women will also fall to the bottom.

     Zhao Mu could not only spend the least amount of money to redeem the two women's lives, but also avoid all kinds of troubles to the maximum extent possible.

     In fact, Liang Xingnan has done the same thing over the years. Otherwise, with his salary, how could his family afford to live in a pavilion?

     Of course, it has nothing to do with Zhao Mu whether Liang Xingnan is greedy for money or whether he will be caught and beheaded in the end.

     He just wanted the other party to guarantee that the two women would leave Jiaofangsi safely.

     After all, those two women were the only ones who were really close to him in the Jiaofang Division these years.

     As for the others, they are just fair-weather friends, who really cares about whom?

     Three months passed so quietly.

     What Liang Xingnan said was absolutely correct. Hua Xinzi and Jiang Hongyun claimed to be ill, but they just didn't show up for two months.

     People outside have almost forgotten their existence.

     Those so-called powerful, wealthy businessmen and literati have already shifted their targets to other new courtesans.

     So the redemption went smoothly. The two women had quietly left the Jiaofang Division half a month ago.

     Recently, they are looking for a storefront to open a tavern, the kind of tavern that is not expensive and only common people will come to.

     But Zhao Mu still stayed in the Jiaofang Division, practicing, reading, and studying medicine every day, and lived a leisurely life.

     …

     Since the death of Liang Xiaozhong, a certain balance seems to have been reached between the Xuanjing Division and Grand Master Zuoxiang Wang.

     Although the two sides are still tit for tat, they are no longer as fierce as before.

     But there seems to be someone in the DPRK who is not satisfied with this situation.

     So two months ago, evidence suddenly spread in the capital that Wang Daoquan and Liang Xiaozhong conspired to embezzle money for disaster relief.

     Not only that, in the following month, various evidence of Wang Daoquan's past crimes were exposed one after another.

     The same soup!

     The same medicine!

     It's almost the same development process as when Liang Xiaozhong was there.

     That mysterious force stirred up the emotions of the people step by step, and all kinds of rumors flew all over the capital.

     This time, Xuanjing Division did not dare to alarm the emperor again.

     So as a last resort, Xuanjing Division took action to arrest Wang Daoquan half a month ago.

     At the same time, everyone is guessing where the mysterious force behind it comes from?

     Some people say that someone is plotting to become the left prime minister, so they use the help of the Xuanjing Division to unseat Grandmaster Wang and become the left prime minister to take charge of the government and the public;

     Some also say that there are external forces who want to provoke internal fighting within the Jin Dynasty and then take advantage of the chaos to profit from it;

     Some people even say that in fact, everything is controlled by the emperor behind the scenes.

     Because the emperor picked up the Xuanjing Division just to deal with Grandmaster Zuoxiang Wang.

     Now, there are actually signs of compromise and balance between the Xuanjing Division and the Left Prime Minister.

     This made the emperor very dissatisfied, so he took action to provoke.

     Regardless of the truth, in short, because of the incidents involving Liang Xiaozhong and Wang Daoquan, the whole court was plunged into a strange atmosphere.

     The situation in the DPRK is turbulent and people's hearts are confused.

     For a time, everyone in the court was in danger. Everyone was extremely careful when doing things, for fear that they would make a mistake and be ruined.

     Only Zhao Mu's place was as calm as ever.
