I was a conman in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 745 Heaven and Earth

Chapter 745 Heaven and Earth

Led by Jiang Zhenghe, the civil and military officials arrived at the bathhouse, which was usually the bathing place for the servants of the imperial estate. However, now, a plaque hung in front of the bathhouse with four large characters: "Heaven on Earth".

“Sigh…” Hong Chengchou sighed. He was very helpless. He was originally in the Northwest suppressing bandits, but suddenly he received news that Mad Dog Wang Wenzhou’s troops were besieging the capital. He hurriedly led his troops to rescue the city, which is why he was in the capital.

"Please, esteemed gentlemen!" Jiang Zhenghe said.

"Welcome to Heaven on Earth!" The doors opened, and two rows of beautiful girls in bikinis gave a synchronized curtsy.

"Pfft..." Everyone was completely dumbfounded. Wang Wenzhou, that mad dog, was truly a lecher. It seemed absurd that he wanted to invite them to take a bath together. Even so, since everyone was a man, although it wouldn't sound good if word got out, they figured they might as well take advantage of the situation. Besides, men, especially scholars, often enjoyed visiting brothels.

"Adults, please come this way!" Jiang Zhenghe led the group to the hall.

Inside the hall, several rows of deck chairs were arranged in order.

Jiang Zhenghe said, "Please rest for a while, gentlemen. I will attend to the maids."

"Hmm..." The smiles on everyone's faces were rather wicked. They all knew in their hearts that the girls were definitely arranged for them by Wang Wenzhou. They were a little confused as to why the mad dog Wang Wenzhou would be so kind.

A moment later, Jiang Zhenghe slowly walked over with a group of beautiful girls. All the girls were wearing bikinis, and each of their tops, which barely covered their private parts, had a number tag attached to them.

Jiang Zhenghe began, "Please, gentlemen, choose the girl you desire."

"Lord Kong, please go first!"

"Please, Lord Kong!"

Kong Zhenyun shook his head with a wry smile. "I'm over sixty years old now, and my health isn't what it used to be."

But he also knew that he had to take the lead. As the Grand Secretary, if he didn't set an example, his colleagues would feel awkward participating. In that case, he would be hated.

No matter the era, when colleagues go out to have fun, those who don't fit in will be disliked. Who knows if you're truly virtuous or just pretending to be a good person?

Kong Zhenyun looked around and pointed to a girl with the number 18, saying, "Her it's her!"

Jiang Zhenghe hurriedly said, "Number 18, hurry over and serve Lord Kong."

"Yes!" Girl No. 18 quickly stepped forward and took Kong Zhenyun's arm, secretly snuggling closer to him.

This was only natural. She was originally a courtesan in a brothel in the capital, but not a top-tier one. It just so happened that Wang Wenzhou needed help, so she got this job. She knew that everyone present was a high-ranking official in the court. If she served them well, she could be redeemed by the master and live a good life for the rest of her days.

In no time, everyone had chosen their favorite girl.

Jiang Zhenghe said, "Gentlemen, please go with the ladies to change your clothes first. We will meet here again later. I will go and invite Lord Wang. When Lord Wang arrives, he will lead you all to take a bath together."

No one thought much of it. After all, Wang Wenzhou was in charge here. It wasn't wrong for him to be a little late, and considering that Wang Wenzhou had found so many pretty girls for them, everyone obediently followed the girls.

At this moment, Wang Wenzhou was holding the baby and discussing things with Sheng Lan.

Sheng Lan said, "Sir, all the spies we sent out have never returned. We are now completely unable to receive any news from the outside world. Why don't you go and find Young Master Qiang and ask him to pass on a message?"

Wang Wenzhou cursed, "That traitor Xiaoqiang won't help us! That bastard is now Zhu Youjian's dog!"

Sheng Lan frowned. Isn't it all because of you that he turned against you? You stole the girl that Young Master Qiang liked, that's why he became your enemy. Otherwise, would things be like this?

"What should we do? What if Madam Mu Yiyun receives false information and hands over the military power in Hanshan? That would be a real problem!" Sheng Lan said with a wry smile.

Wang Wenzhou curled his lip and said disdainfully, "It's alright, don't worry. Mu Yiyun is a professional spy by training, she's not that stupid. She should know that even if I ask her to hand over military power, she can't. Once she loses her troops, she'll be in trouble. And even if she's foolish enough to hand over military power, as long as she hears that something has happened to me, the people of Hanshan will definitely not be loyal to the court."

Gao Guiying asked, "Boxin, are we just going to be kept under house arrest by Zhu Youjian for the rest of our lives like this?"

Wang Wenzhou hugged Gao Guiying and kissed her, laughing as he said, "Sister, Zhu Youjian doesn't have that ability. He's being clever, using me as a pawn to deal with the Donglin Party. Do you think I'm that stupid? He'll be crying sooner or later!"

Sheng Lan thought for a moment and then said, "My lord, how about I send a few more men to see if we can sneak out of the royal estate?"

Wang Wenzhou shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Forget it! These sedan chair carrier guards are all old men who have been with me since Hanshan. I can't let them go to their deaths. More than twenty of them have died in the past few days! That bastard Wang Qiang is really ruthless. You could say that he knew all the guards in my sedan chair carrier camp. Even if he couldn't remember their names, they looked familiar to him. He actually killed them all!"

"Sigh..." Sheng Lan sighed. Damn it, isn't it all your fault! How loyal Xiao Qiang used to be to you? Who told you to sleep with someone else's girl? You'll die at her hands sooner or later!

"Knock knock!" At this moment, Jiang Zhenghe knocked on the door and said, "Sir, everything is ready and we're just waiting for you."

“Okay!” Wang Wenzhou nodded and said, “Babies, babies, come with me to take a bath.”

The faces of the two babies, Da Yu'er and Gao Guiying, immediately turned red to their necks. "You rascal, you want us to bathe with you and a bunch of men? Don't you think you're getting the short end of the stick?"

Da Yu'er was too embarrassed to speak, so she looked at Gao Guiying.

Gao Guiying nodded and quickly said, "Boxin, don't be ridiculous! It's our duty to serve you when you bathe, how can you expect us to bathe with you and a bunch of men?"

"Haha!" Wang Wenzhou laughed loudly, "Sister, be good. I'm not crazy. I don't like my baby being taken advantage of by other men. Come on, you'll understand when we get there!"

Sheng Lan smiled bitterly to herself, thinking that her nemesis was definitely up to no good.

Soon, Wang Wenzhou came into the hall with his two babies in his arms.

The reclining chairs in the hall had been removed, and all the civil and military officials were wearing shorts, each holding a girl, shivering from the cold.

Although it is springtime, it is still a bit chilly at the beginning of spring. Wearing only shorts is indeed a bit cold. Of course, it is also because they are old and their physical condition is not very good. The girl next to them is also not wearing much, but she does not feel cold.

Although all the civil and military officials were dressed, Gao Guiying and Da Yu'er were quite shy. After all, these people were wearing shorts. Unlike modern times, where people wear very little clothing at the beach in the summer, in the Ming Dynasty, showing thighs or arms was considered improper.

"Huh?" Hong Chengchou was stunned when he saw Da Yu'er. He had never imagined that there was such a beautiful girl in the world!
