In the beginning, the Donglin people were indeed fair and strict people. They ridiculed the government and commented on the officials. They proposed to be honest and upright, to revitalize the administration of officials, to open up the way of speech, and to get rid of the long-standing abuses of the government and the people. However, after it slowly developed, it began to become the spokesperson of big landowners and big merchant interest groups. It protected the landowners and fought for the profits of the rich merchants. It turned a blind eye to the tragic reality of the famine victims at the end of the Ming Dynasty and tried its best to obstruct the collection of disaster relief.
The political differences between the people of Donglin and the eunuchs and their dependent forces developed into a fierce party struggle.
In the end, the Dong Lin Party was formed due to fighting.
Now that Jiangnan was facing a famine, it was naturally a disaster for the ordinary people, but it was a good opportunity for the Donglin Party in Jiangnan. They could obtain a large amount of fertile land for free and at a low price.
This was also the reason why Qian Qian had the ability to take out 250,000 silver coins.
Outside the Spring Breeze Brothel, Hua Niang's eyes were sharp. When she saw Qian Qian, her heart instantly jumped.
"Aiya, Lord Qian is here. Welcome, welcome!"
He went up to greet him warmly. His smile was like that of Maitreya Buddha. He even held Qian Qian's arm with one hand.
"Lord Qian, you must work hard this time. I've been looking forward to you…"
Qian Qian was naturally extremely disgusted with Hua Niang, but after hearing this, he finally felt happy in his heart.
"Give me a good spot!"
"No problem, I've already saved it for Lord Qian!”
Very quickly, Qian Qian was sent to the second floor. There was a room with a window that faced Liu Bieshi's room. It was in a good location and could overlook the entire first floor. It gave people a sense of power as if they were in control of the world.
However, what made Qian Qian lose his emotions was that in this private room, there were two people at another table opposite Qian Qian.
One of them was dressed like a scholar. He was waving a feather fan and looking at him with a smile, but he did not have any fear of facing a fourth-grade official.
"Flower Mother, who are these two people?" Qian Qian frowned. Can you ask them to leave?"
Hua Niang laughed awkwardly." Lord Qian, let me introduce you. This is Boss Ji. He is also the person who wants to redeem Ru. We really don't have any seats here, so we can only arrange for you to come together."”
It was Feng Ji. This was his first time appearing on stage, but he was a merchant instead of a counselor from Yan Hao Sect.
Qian Qian glared at Feng Ji and snorted coldly,""A lowly merchant dares to follow me? It doesn't matter if you can take it or not!"
How could Feng Ji, this old fox, be angered by these words? He smiled slightly and said,"Today is Miss Ru's wedding day, so naturally, it's the one who pays the most and sits in this position. The one with the most money is the boss, so what if you're an official?”
Qian Qian had 250,000 taels of silver in his arms, and it was the time to be bold."Hmph, fine. I want to see your strength.”
Qian Qian and the servant sat down. Hua Niang heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they did not fight. Otherwise, she would be in trouble. This kind of mutual contempt was exactly what she wanted to see. As a shrewd person, she deliberately arranged for these two competitors to sit together to provoke competition between the two sides.
"Come, come, let's drink tea together."
Qian Qian didn't sit for long before he felt extremely awkward. He kept feeling that Boss Ji was looking at him indifferently, and he had the illusion that he was facing a powerful person.
This feeling was especially unpleasant!
As time passed, more and more guests came to Spring Wind Building. Each and every one of them was dressed like a dog. At first glance, one would think that they were gentlemen.
However, the moment they spoke, they exposed their pig-like behavior.
"Quickly call Miss Ru out, I can't wait any longer!”
"That's right, quickly call Miss Ru out!”
"I like it so much, my soul is flying.”
"A graceful lady, a gentleman.”
Soon, it was time. Amidst everyone's anticipation and Hua Niang's loud shouts, Liu Bieshi finally appeared.
Liu Bie was dressed gorgeously, but it was not too ostentatious. He was wearing a flowery long dress that slightly exposed his shoulders.
As soon as he appeared, it caused a sensation.
Countless 'righteous gentlemen' turned into wolves and howled. Some of them were even drooling.
Qian Qian looked on and the anger in his heart rose. Damn it, Liu Bieshi can only be my person. How dare others dream of getting their hands on him?!
"Wonderful, wonderful. Miss Ru is indeed a great beauty. She's not inferior to the one I saw in the Qian residence.”Feng praised, but he only had a look of appreciation. He knew that this Liu Ru was highly regarded by Master Yan Hao, so he naturally did not dare to have any thoughts about her.
Qian Qian snorted coldly at Feng Ji,"As long as I'm here, you can forget about it."”
"If you have the ability, come. I'm definitely going to take this Liu Bie!”Feng Yi sneered and waved his hand. His servant handed over a thick stack of silver notes, each worth 10,000 taels.
When Qian Qian saw the stack of banknotes, his eyes shrank. However, he also took out a thick stack of banknotes with a ferocious expression.
Hua Niang's eyes lit up as she muttered,""I'm rich, I'm rich!"
