Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

"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, our 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 are planning 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. Come on, we 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 who they are?"

Jiang Hongyun had a pretty face and said with disdain: "What's more, there are several courtesans who have been ransomed since ancient times and have ended badly. I don't want to get into a fight in the inner 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, and 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 only pity is that unless one day he becomes an immortal and attains enlightenment, anyone in this world will just be a passerby in his own life.

No one can accompany you through the endless years to come.

…

The next day, Zhao Mu got up early and went to find Liang Xingnan to discuss ransoming the lives of 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 in the clouds, but he finally came to his senses.

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 again and patted his chest to express that it was 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 from performing 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 can 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 embezzles 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.

Liang Xingnan was absolutely right. Hua Xinzi and Jiang Hongyun claimed to be ill, but they 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.

And Zhao Mu still stayed in the Jiaofang Division, practicing, reading, and learning medicine every day, and his life was free and easy.

…

Since Liang Xiaozhong's death, the Xuanjing Division and the Left Prime Minister Wang Zongshi seemed to have reached a certain balance.

Although the two sides were still tit-for-tat, they were no longer as intense as before.

But it seemed that someone in the court was not satisfied with this situation.

So two months ago, the evidence of Wang Daoquan's conspiracy with Liang Xiaozhong to embezzle disaster relief money suddenly spread in the streets of the capital.

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

The same soup!

The same medicine!

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 were flying all over the capital.

This time, the Xuanjing Division dared not alarm the emperor again.

So, as a last resort, Xuan Jing Si arrested Wang Daoquan half a month ago.

At the same time, everyone was speculating where the mysterious force behind it came from?

Some said that someone was plotting for the position of the left prime minister, so he wanted to use Xuan Jing Si to pull down Master Wang and become the left prime minister to rule the country;

Some said that there were external forces who wanted to provoke internal strife in the Jin Dynasty and then take advantage of the chaos to profit from it;

Some even said that everything was actually manipulated by the emperor behind the scenes.

Because the emperor held up Xuan Jing Si just to deal with Master Wang, the left prime minister.

Now Xuan Jing Si actually showed signs of compromise and balance with the left prime minister.

This made the emperor very dissatisfied, so he tried to instigate.

No matter what the truth is, because Liang Xiaozhong and Wang Daoquan got into trouble one after another, the court was caught in a weird atmosphere.

The court was turbulent and people's hearts were confused.

For a time, everyone in the court was in danger. Everyone was extremely careful in doing things, fearing that they would make a mistake and suffer an irreparable loss.

Only Zhao Mu was as calm as ever.
