LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 17:
Chapter 17
Obstructed by the crowd, Wei Hanzhang couldn't see the woman's face, but the familiar feeling made her raise her eyes to look at the plaque.
The moment the three words ‘Jiaofangsi’ came into view, Wei Hanzhang’s head exploded.
"Stop! Stop!" She didn't care about her hat and jumped out of the carriage that had not yet stopped.
Hibernating his panic, he trotted towards the center of the crowd. The ominous premonition became more and more intense until he pushed through the crowd and saw that familiar face with his own eyes.
"Young Niang, Rou Niang!" Wei Hanzhang walked in quickly, squatted down and held Cao Xinrou on his lap regardless of the blood on her head. He covered the wound on the back of her head with his hand and said to Lu Zhu who was following behind him: "Quick, go get the doctor."
Wei Hanzhang's hands were shaking. He didn't understand why Rou Niang jumped off the building. When he saw her last time, her face was rosy and she didn't seem to have any intention of dying.
"Don't... Ran Ran, don't hug me." Cao Xinrou was still awake, her lips were slightly open and closed, her breath was as thin as a thread, and she couldn't even hear it among the noisy voices.
Wei Hanzhang hurriedly listened.
Cao Xinrou stretched out her hand to caress her face: "I have become a lowly citizen...you shouldn't...get involved with me. It will hinder your marriage...let me go quickly."
"No! I'm not afraid of being implicated by you. You are not cheap, Rou Niang. You are the best girl in Xuzhou City."
Wei Hanzhang cried and shook his head, refusing to let go: "I said I would rescue you, why are you seeking death... Only by living can you have a chance to get out of here..."
The breath of the person in his arms became weaker and weaker. Wei Hanzhang could no longer speak and shouted towards Luzhu behind him: "Where's the doctor!"
"We have sent someone to invite him. The medicine hall is far away..." Luzhu also knew Cao Xinrou. She said anxiously, "There should be a doctor in this workshop."
Jiaofangsi is an official kiln of the imperial court. The prostitutes there are all family members of famous and high-ranking officials in the past. Their snow-skinned skin is countless times better than the ordinary girls in Fireworks and Willow Alley.
There will be no impeachment here, and many officials come to visit the kiln in many officials. Are there any big fun in the world?
Some wealthy businessmen and foreign ministers with abundant wealth are also very willing to spend a lot of money to sleep with these charming girls from high-ranking families who originally had to bow to each other even when they met.
In short, this is a gold-selling cave for officials and wealthy businessmen. It is impossible that there is no doctor sitting in the hall. No one has come out to treat her for so long. It is obvious that she does not want to waste time treating the daughter of a prison official who is already determined to die.
After Wei Hanzhang figured it out, he gently handed Cao Xinrou in his arms to Lvzhu, stood up and went to call someone in the Jiaofang Division.
Jiaofangsi is different from other brothels. It is also open during the day. At this time, something happened outside, and many young men who were having fun inside came out.
Seeing a girl like Wei Hanzhang, who was clearly not a girl from the neighborhood, walking in, a look of shock appeared on her face.
She was dressed up for the banquet today, with a red lingxiao flower painted on her forehead, her eyebrows were as bright as a distant daisy, her eyes were flushed, and tears were pouring out one by one.
The flawless face was stained with blood, and the whole person had a broken and sadistic beauty.
It makes people’s hearts tremble when they see it.
As soon as I took a step forward, I saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
Wei Hanzhang's expression suddenly changed: "Gu Yundan! Why are you here?"
She walked over quickly, grabbed his sleeve and asked, "Why are you here? Does Rou Niang's jumping off the building have something to do with you?"
Gu Yun was about 20 years old, and he was obviously the most prosperous, but when Wei Hanzhang pulled him away, he almost fell to the ground.
As if he had just come to his senses, he pushed the person in front of him away, gritted his teeth and rushed toward Cao Xinrou with a pale face.
Wei Hanzhang was pushed and staggered. A man on the side casually supported her and whispered: "Girl, be careful."
She didn't bother to say thank you, and was about to continue asking Gu Yundan when she heard an old voice behind her.
"This girl, I have been ordered by my young master to diagnose and treat this woman." Wei Hanzhang turned around and saw an old man with white hair and beard, carrying a medicine box on his shoulder. Her face showed joy and she said hurriedly: "Quickly , save her."
The old man bowed slightly and saluted, then squatted down to hold his pulse and diagnose and treat...
Wei Hanzhang squatted down: "How is it? Is there any hope?"
Cao Xinrou was unconscious at the moment. The blood on the back of her head was stopped by the handkerchief, but the injury was very serious...
The old man held his pulse for a long time, his expression slightly calmed, and then he put three fingers to Cao Xinrou's neck. After a long time, he sighed and said: "It's better to be buried alive."
Wei Hanzhang's body swayed slightly, his mind in a trance.
died?
That Cao Xinrou who was always gentle and soft-spoken is dead?
Died in this Jiaofangsi, even death is not dignified. He jumped down wearing a prostitute's scantily clad gauze and was watched by so many people for fun.
Wei Hanzhang was out of breath and didn't understand how a good sister could die so miserably.
Gu Yundan seemed to be hit harder than she was. He shook Cao Xinrou's body frantically for a long time, and finally lifted him up and was stopped by the belatedly arriving doctor.
Being born into Jiaofangsi, he will also be the body of Jiaofangsi when he dies.
If you really want to take the person away, you have to wait until they confirm that the person is dead, wrap the body in a straw mat and throw it into a mass grave before picking up the body.
Wei Hanzhang stood up unsteadily and watched in a daze as Gu Yundan and the people from Jiaofangsi snatched Cao Xinrou's body.
Looking at Cao Xinrou being diagnosed as dead by the doctor of the Ministry of Education, and then being carried away in a straw mat...
Her eyesight went dark, and she was supported by green beads.
Lvzhu whispered: "Girl, it's time for us to go back home."
Their carriage lagged behind and no one noticed it if they didn't catch up in time. However, there was quite a big fuss here. The carriage Wei Hanzhang was riding in had the Wei clan emblem engraved on it. Those who were thoughtful might have already known her identity.
The dignified legitimate daughter of the Marquis actually called the prostitute of Jiaofangsi her sister. She even wanted to save a lowly woman. No matter how she tried to enter Jiaofangsi, any one of them would ruin Wei Hanzhang's reputation. thing.
Wei Hanzhang also knew that what he did today was wrong. He just saw with his own eyes that the handkerchief was at stake in the past, so how could he calmly and wisely protect himself?
The old man carrying the medicine box stood up, saluted Wei Hanzhang again, bowed and asked: "The girl looks bad, do you want me to take my pulse?"
Although he didn't know why this man was so polite, Wei Hanzhang didn't have the intention to ask questions carefully at the moment, and whispered: "Don't bother, thank you for your help today."
Whether he was saved or not, at least he was not saved until he died.
The old man smiled and said: "I am following the order of my young master. If the girl wants to thank you, why not go and thank my young master."
The spring breeze in the evening woke up Wei Hanzhang's thoughts. She seemed to feel something in her heart. She looked up in one direction and saw a man standing there, looking at her with gentle eyes.
It’s the man I met in the Cao Family Courtyard in Xuzhou.
