The rural doctor bought a husband who was very treacherous

Chapter 230 Night Tour of Yangzhou

In an instant, the head of the Song family was caught off guard. He felt a huge force coming at him and his legs bent involuntarily.

He was unable to withstand the sudden heavy blow, and he lost his balance and fell to his knees.

With a dull "bang", his knee hit the hard ground heavily, and one could almost hear the crisp sound of bones hitting stone slabs.

This kneeling was extremely embarrassing.

The head of the Song family was shocked, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by fear.

At this time, Prefect Hong walked out quickly from behind the desk with a look of panic on his face, came in front of Su Tang and Qi Lingheng, clasped his fists and bowed deeply.

He said with great fear and trepidation: "Your Highness Princess, Your Highness Prince Qi, please forgive me for my incompetence and failure to maintain local law and order, which frightened you two. This is really my fault for my poor management! I will restore the law and order in Yangzhou City and bring peace to you two and the people in the city."

After saying this, he straightened up again, turned his head again with a solemn expression, stared at the yamen runners in the hall with a sharp gaze, and shouted loudly: "Come here! The Song family is so bold as to disrespect the princess and the King of Qi!

The Song family allowed their servants to do whatever they wanted and even attempted to harm the princess and the King of Qi. They were simply lawless!

Now that the facts have been ascertained, we must not let them off lightly! Immediately arrest all the members of the Song family in the hall and put them in jail to await their fate!

After I report this matter to the court in detail, I will punish him severely to uphold the laws and disciplines of the country!"

Prefect Hong's face flushed as he spoke, and apart from excitement, there was no other expression on his face.

It was as if the person in the hall who had just been severely punished by him was not his relative.

With another slam of the big hand on the table, the bailiff immediately dragged the still stunned Song family members to the back hall.

The people watching outside the hall also turned their eyes to Su Tang and Qi Lingheng who were sitting in the hall.

Magistrate Hong's words just now were very loud, and they could hear them clearly even outside the hall. The people immediately bowed and knelt down towards Su Tang and Qi Lingheng.

This was the first time they saw someone from the royal family, and a princess at that.

The people's shouts became louder and louder, and they knelt down three times in a row.

Su Tang and Qi Lingheng narrowed their eyes slightly at this time. The way that Magistrate Hong punished the Song family was impeccable.

But he pushed Su Tang and Qi Lingheng high up. Regardless of what his intention was, Su Tang would have to cover her face when she went shopping in Yangzhou from now on.

Of course, Su Tang was not afraid, but there were still many places in Yangzhou that she had not been to, and it would be somewhat inconvenient to go shopping without covering her face.

In the end, Su Tang and Qi Lingheng returned to the Qi Mansion under the personal escort of Prefect Hong.

Backyard, inside the main house.

Su Tang fiddled with the wooden hairpin in her hand. It was given to her by the stall vendor today, who said it was in exchange for the money Su Tang paid.

Of course, the vendor didn't give Su Tang just a hairpin, but gave her all the small wood carvings on the stall.

Seeing Su Tang fiddling with her hairpin, Qi Lingheng walked to Su Tang's side, lowered his head slightly, and handed his hair bun to Su Tang, "This hairpin is very beautifully carved, Madam, why don't you change it for me."

"The white jade hairpin on your head is better than this wooden one." Although Su Tang said this, she held Qi Lingheng's bun with one hand and replaced the jade hairpin with the wooden one in her hand.

"Let's go around the city at night. It is said that Yangzhou city is also very prosperous at night."

Before Qi Lingheng raised his head, he could hear the heat from Su Tang's voice again.

Qi Lingheng slowly raised his head and held Su Tang's hand, "My lady, go wherever you want to go, but before you go..."

Su Tang didn't understand why Qi Lingheng suddenly stopped talking. When she looked up, Qi Lingheng had already kissed her.

After a while, a suggestive sound was heard from inside the house, and the people waiting outside the house retreated to the outside of the yard without knowing when.

Fortunately, Qi Lingheng promised Su Tang that he would accompany her to visit Yangzhou City in the evening. After making trouble for Su Tang once, he let her go temporarily.

But Su Tang still angrily punched Qi Lingheng. After all this trouble, she didn't have the energy to go shopping in the evening.

Yangzhou city is indeed lively at night.

What happened in the busy city during the day did not affect the prosperity of Yangzhou city at night.

Many shops on the street are open for business.

Some small stalls are also selling goods under lights at this time.

There were just as many people shopping on the street as there were during the day. Su Tang and Qi Lingheng wore two masks so that they could wander freely among the crowd.

"Are you tired from walking? Do you want to go to the teahouse over there and rest for a while?"

"No, let's go to the riverside. I heard the pleasure boats over there are open." This was what Su Tang heard from a few men coming out of a restaurant when she passed by the restaurant just now.

The men had dinner in the restaurant and then agreed to go to the pleasure boat on the riverside for a few drinks.

This is just like people in the previous life who ate in a restaurant and then went to the bar street to play for a while. Su Tang was always at work at that time and had only seen this in some news reports.

Of course, she wanted to see the ancient painted boats and see if they looked the same as in movies and TV dramas.

"Okay, let's go for a stroll on the pleasure boat." Qi Lingheng agreed to accompany Su Tang to visit the night market in Yangzhou today.

We walked through the crowded streets and arrived at the riverside pleasure boat, where there were obviously fewer people.

Women walking on the street are almost invisible.

So when Su Tang appeared wearing a mask, many men who came here cast curious glances at her.

But Su Tang was wearing a mask, so they could only vaguely see that Su Tang was a slender woman, but they couldn't see her face.

At this time, there were many huge pleasure boats docked by the river, and women and men were leaning on the railings from time to time.

Some of the brave ones even leaned against the railing of the pleasure boat and flirted as if no one was around.

Seeing this, Qi Lingheng couldn't help but frowned, "Madam, how about we go somewhere else?"

"Let's take a look. Let's just take a look." Su Tang pulled Qi Lingheng's arm and pulled him towards the houseboat.

An expression of doting and helplessness flashed across Qi Lingheng's face behind the mask, but his feet moved towards the pleasure boat following Su Tang's pull.

"Oh, I have been running a pleasure boat on the Yangzhou River for many years, but this is the first time I have seen a young lady come to our pleasure boat street."

On the bank of the painted boat river, on a painted boat, a heavily made-up woman twisted her waist and looked towards Su Tang and the others.

Although Su Tang is dressed as a woman, her clothes are completely different from those of the women in the painting boat. People who often come here can tell at a glance that Su Tang is not the girl in the painting boat.

"What's the matter? Are there rules here in the pleasure boat that women can't come?" Su Tang looked at the woman who had just spoken.

The woman seemed to be in her thirties. She had gained weight, but her waist was still visible.

The woman used a lot of makeup, and Su Tang could smell the pungent smell of makeup from a distance away.

"That's not the case, but everyone knows what kind of business this painted boat is doing. No woman has ever set foot here." The woman chuckled twice and waved her fan, blowing some more of the scent of powder over.

Su Tang frowned, pulled Qi Lingheng forward, and didn't want to talk to the woman anymore.

It was really choking. She studied medicine and was very sensitive to smells.

Seeing that Su Tang wanted to pull him away, Qi Lingheng was just what he wanted. He actually didn't want Su Tang to see those indecent scenes.

It was just that Su Tang had just pulled Qi Lingheng forward a few steps when a few men passed by them. The men spoke in low voices, but Su Tang, who was sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, caught some words.

"The accounts... taxes..."

Su Tang looked at the people going away and followed them.

Soon, we saw those people boarding a pleasure boat.

"I'm going to change my clothes. You ask Qi Yan to follow me and see which room those people went to. Then book the room next door." Su Tang whispered in Qi Lingheng's ear.

Su Tang did not bring Chunmei and the others with her on this night trip. She had wanted to take the opportunity to come here and see the ancient Red Mansions and Chu Houses.

She was afraid that Chunmei and the others would feel uncomfortable, so she didn't bring them along.

Qi Lingheng made a few gestures towards Qi Yan, who immediately nodded and followed the men.

"I'll go with you." Qi Lingheng was worried about Su Tang staying here alone. Although she had a space, she must find a secluded place before entering the space.

At this time, Su Tang was still wearing women's clothes, and it was not safe for her to walk here alone.

Seeing that Qi Yan had caught up with those people, Su Tang nodded in agreement and left with Qi Lingheng to a place with fewer people.

Not far from the pleasure boats on the riverside, there is a dark alley. Although there are courtyard gates in the alley, they are all tightly closed.

Su Tang pulled Qi Lingheng into the dark alley and then flashed back to the space.

In the space, Su Tang changed into men's clothes, and Qi Lingheng carefully helped her tie her hair into a men's bun.

Looking at Su Tang who was wearing the same wooden hairpin on her head, Qi Lingheng handed the mask in his hand to Su Tang.

"Tang'er has changed into men's clothes and looks like a handsome young man. Put on the mask quickly and don't let those people see you."

Su Tang knew that Qi Lingheng was afraid that someone would covet her appearance, so she nodded in agreement and covered her face with the mask.

When the two of them came out of the space again, Qi Lingheng whispered to Su Tang, "This is the back door of the red-light district. Let's leave quickly."

Su Tang nodded and left quickly with Qi Lingheng.

They turned to the pleasure boat by the river again. When Su Tang and the others got on the boat, Qi Yan was already waiting for them on the boat.

"This way." Qi Yan said in a low voice.

Qi Lingheng and Su Tang nodded at the same time, and the three of them quickly entered a private room.

The box was filled with the smell of cosmetics and alcohol. The private rooms on the pleasure boat all had a minimum consumption requirement, so some alcohol and food had already been provided and placed in the room at a price.

The private rooms in this ancient pleasure boat are all made of wooden partition walls and are not soundproof at all.

When Su Tang entered, she heard the laughter of a man and a woman coming from the room next to her.

From time to time, the sounds of wind instruments and stringed instruments could be heard from other boxes, so if you wanted to eavesdrop on conversations in other rooms, you had to listen carefully.

Fortunately, Qi Lingheng and Qi Yan are both masters, and Su Tang's hearing has become much better than that of ordinary people after having the space.

Su Tang and the others soon heard the sound they wanted to hear.

"The Princess and the King of Qi have come to Yangzhou. The higher-ups have told everyone to stop and take a break these few days, especially those in Nanshan."

Su Tang and Qi Lingheng looked at each other. They both heard it, but Su Tang was not very familiar with the geographical location here. Where is Nanshan?

Su Tang took out a recorder from her arms and turned up the volume.

After we go back, we can extract the conversations of those people through computer technical analysis, which will serve as evidence in the future.

Su Tang continued listening with a smile on her face.

Looking at Su Tang's revealing little fox look, Qi Lingheng smiled dotingly.

Qi Yan...is it too late for him to go out now?

"Hey, if we work less for a few days, the brothers will earn less money."

"What should we do? Oh, have the accounts for last month been completed? Ask them to hurry up and do it quickly, don't keep dragging it out... If the higher-ups suddenly check and you can't produce the account books, I'm afraid you'll lose your job..."

"Well, we're already urging them to do it. As you know, it's hard to find someone who can read and do the math. There are too many things involved, and many people are unwilling to do it."

"That's because what you gave me is not enough. If you give me more, I don't believe they won't be tempted by money. If it doesn't work, you can do something for their family. I guarantee they will come to you."

"Hahaha, Brother Zhao is the one who has the plan. No wonder you are appreciated by the adults..."

When the news was revealed, there was a flurry of compliments and toasts, but after that it became a little unpleasant to the ears.

Qi Lingheng suddenly stood up, pulled Su Tang and left.

When we got outside the pleasure boat, the air outside finally became fresh.

"Hey, why did they pull me out? What if they say something later?"

"No need to listen anymore." Qi Lingheng frowned.

"Okay, but this houseboat is pretty nice, let's sit outside for a while."

"Go down and change to another pleasure boat." Qi Lingheng didn't even relax his brows at this time, and pulled Su Tang down from the pleasure boat.

"Go and book a pleasure boat and clear out all the people." Qi Lingheng said to Qi Yan.

"Yes." Qi Yan responded and left.

After a while, Qi Yan returned again and took Su Tang and the others to another houseboat not far away.

At this time, all the people in the painting boat had been cleared out, and there was no one in the entire painting boat.

Of course, Qi Yan also paid a price that was twice the profit of the houseboat tonight before he booked it, paid off the money and left.

The inside of the houseboat looked like it had been simply cleaned up.

There was a table of exquisite banquet placed at the bow of the pleasure boat, and Qi Lingheng pulled Su Tang to sit there.

At this time, on both sides of the winding river like a long snake, there were lights flickering all the way.

These lights seem like stars falling in the night sky, or like fireflies hidden in the grass, emitting a faint and charming light.

They are intertwined, either lightly or darkly, forming a dreamlike scene.

As the breeze blows gently, the lights sway gracefully.
