"Young Master, we've already made an appointment. However, the other party had set the meeting place at the Upper Forest Immortal Mansion in the Eight Great Alley.”Feng Linge's butler in Yanjing, Feng Zhong, reported.
"Eight alleys? What about the time?" Feng Ping asked.
The other party had set the meeting place at the Eight Great Alley. This was not out of Feng Ping's expectations. After all, the other party was known as the number one pimp in Beiyang!
That's right, the person Feng Ping wanted to meet this time was Duan Xiangyan. Not only was Duan Zhigui lecherous, but he was also known as the number one pimp. In fact, his current status was largely related to this.
When Duan Xiangyan was working for Big Head Yuan in his early years, he was good at bootlicking. Moreover, he found a large number of beautiful women for Big Head Yuan and served him very well. This naturally won Big Head Yuan's favor, and his official position became higher and higher. Bai even took the initiative to call Big Head Yuan father and ask Big Head Yuan to accept him as his godson.
This was also the reason why Duan Xiangyan, who was clearly an ignorant and incompetent person, could become a high-ranking official in Beiyang. After Yuan Datou ascended the throne, he was called Prince Qian.
" Young Master, six o'clock tonight." Feng Zhong replied.
"Alright, arrange it. I'll be there tonight.”Feng Ping nodded.
In addition to his previous life, Feng Ping had never been to the red-light district. This time, it was not bad to be able to see the eight alleys.
The reason why Upper Forest Immortal Dojo was a very famous brothel in the Eight Great Alley was that it had produced a generation of famous brothels, Sai Jin Hua. Although Sai Jinhua was no longer here, she was still quite famous.
Duan Xiangyan was a person who loved to indulge in debauchery, so he would naturally linger in these places.
Feng Ping arrived at Upper Forest Immortal Mansion before six o'clock. He had booked a private room in advance and was waiting for Duan Xiangyan inside.
"Young Master, do you want to listen to a song or a girl?”The brothel madame's face was full of smiles.
However, Feng Ping's appetite turned sour when he saw the thick makeup on the brothel madame's face, and he had no mood to seek pleasure here.
The women in the brothels of this era did not seem to be much. Not only were they old-fashioned, but there were also not many who were truly beautiful. Besides, the sanitary conditions in this era were not good. Who could guarantee that they would not get sick? Therefore, Feng Ping was not interested in the bus.
"No need, just a jug of wine. I'll look for you when the person I'm waiting for arrives!”Feng Ping's attitude was cold.
"Alright, Young Master." Although the brothel madame had underestimated whether Feng Ping had a problem, wasn't he crazy to come to a brothel and drink instead of seeking pleasure?
However, Feng Ping had brought his guards with him this time. Even when she went to the brothel, there were still a few people following her. At a glance, she could tell that they were not ordinary people. The brothel madame naturally did not dare to say anything to avoid getting into trouble.
Duan Xiangyan finally arrived at 6:30 pm.
"General, I've heard a lot about you. On behalf of my father, I greet you and thank you for coming.”Feng Ping lowered his stance.
"Haha! Nephew is too polite. However, why didn't Brother Feng come personally?”Duan Xiangyan sat down and asked.
"General, my father and Zhang Yuting are fighting fiercely right now.”Feng Ping replied.
"Humph! Zhang Xiluan hasn't left yet? The two of them started fighting. However, even if they won, would it be of any use? In the end, it was still the Grand President who had the final say!”Duan Xiangyan's attitude was very arrogant. He did not put Feng Linge and Zhang Yuting in his eyes at all.
However, Duan Xiangyan did have the right to be arrogant.
Since Big Head Yuan was in power, his godson naturally benefited a lot. Now, he was already the general of Zhangwu, overseeing the military affairs of E Province. In comparison, Feng Linge and Zhang Yuting were only Lieutenant Generals, much weaker than him.
"Yes, the Grand President has the final say. That was why I begged the general. The general was deeply trusted by the Grand President, and he was someone who had a say in front of the Grand President. With the general's words, the problem would be much simpler.”Feng Ping suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Of course! Naturally, my words are useful in front of the Grand President. However, it's not appropriate for me to speak about Fengtian!”Duan Xiangyan said.
Feng Ping naturally understood what Duan Xiangyan meant. He just wanted benefits.
This was within Feng Ping's expectations.
Which of the Northern Warlords was not greedy? Not to mention Duan Xiangyan, who was ignorant and incompetent, and only knew how to be greedy and lecherous.
This was also the reason why people like Duan Xiangyan quickly declined after Yuan Datou's death.
Even if he gave the other party money now and was blackmailed by the other party, Feng Ping could tolerate it.
When the father and son took control of the entire northeast, or even one day, when they went south and occupied the Central Plains, they could get back the money they had spent now. In fact, he could even get double the amount back.
These guys had extorted a lot of money from the people. If they were allowed to live happily with this money, it would be better to take back all this money and use it for national construction.
In this era, the government was very poor, and the people were very poor. Many people didn't even have enough to eat.
However, these corrupt officials were all filthy rich. All the wealth in the world had been plundered by them. If these corrupt officials were killed and their assets confiscated, there would be money for national construction.
Of course, Feng Ping could only temporarily suppress these thoughts in his heart. Without sufficient strength, these ideas could not be developed. Otherwise, he would only be courting death.
"General, this is my father's token of appreciation. Please accept it.”Feng Ping took out a check from his pocket.
Duan Xiangyan glanced at him.
"A cheque from the City Bank? Two hundred thousand dollars? Brother Feng, are you trying to send a beggar away?" Duan Xiangyan said disdainfully.
200,000 dollars was equivalent to one million dollars. This sum of money was not a small sum. However, Duan Xiangyan didn't take it to heart.
"Nephew! Brother Feng, are you looking down on me? Was a Fengtian Warlord worth a million dollars? Of course, even if I don't say it, you know that even if Zhang Xiluan left the Northeast, the Grand President would not let anyone else take over Zhang Xiluan's position. Even so, a Fengtian Military Governor was not something that could be bought with a million dollars!”Duan Xiangyan was obviously dissatisfied with this price.
Feng Ping nodded. He also knew that Big Head Yuan would not let someone replace Zhang Xiluan completely. Zhang Xiluan was now the general of Zhen An, in charge of the military and political affairs of the three northeastern provinces. This was because Zhang Xiluan was Big Head Yuan's sworn brother. That was why he had such a position. If it was someone else, how could Yuan Datou let him control the entire Northeast?
