    There was no words all night, and in the blink of an eye it was dawn the next day.  Wandong and Lei Peng, who had slept well, began to wander around Jinling City.  Wandong gave Lei Peng a thousand taels of silver and asked him to buy whatever he wanted.  The two spent the whole morning spending money to their heart's content.  We walked around until noon and went to a clothing store.  Sure enough, driven by five times the price, all ten sets of clothes, hats, shoes and socks were ready and packed in a bamboo box.  After Wandong paid the silver, Lei Peng happily took out a set and put it on, then picked up the bamboo box containing the rest of the clothes and followed Wandong out of the clothing store.  After finding a deserted place, Lei Peng put the bamboo box into his storage space.  After having lunch at a random restaurant, Wan Dong and Lei Peng came to a dental shop.  I threw a tael of silver to the man who came over and asked him to find some people to come over.  Seeing Wandong's generous spending, the waiter knew that Wandong was a big customer and quickly led him to a private room.  Within a few minutes, several Yamen filed in.  Wandong sat on the seat with his legs crossed, and Lei Peng stood beside him.  After several Yaren came in, they bowed respectfully.  Knocking on the table next to the chair, Wan Dong said: "Everyone in your hands who is between eight and twenty-eight years old and can sign a death contract, regardless of gender, regardless of quantity, as long as they are healthy and not sick, I want them all."  The Ya people were shocked when they heard this. Now the world is in chaos, wars are breaking out, and countless people are displaced.  In order to have food to eat and a place to live, there are a lot of people who are willing to sign death contracts.  This is a huge deal that has never been seen before.  Knocking on the table again, Wan Dong raised his hand to suppress the chaotic introduction.  "Listen carefully to my conditions. As long as they meet the requirements, I will take them all. You count the number of people, and I will come to pick them up tomorrow. You will not be short of money." He also put five ingots of silver on the table, "Ten taels of deposit per person  . Remind everyone, if there is anyone who cheats, I will let you know that my money is not so easy to cheat. You can take the deposit and start working." After that, he took Lei Peng and left.  ??Call the dental shop clerk, find a dental practitioner, and prepare to buy a yard to accommodate the large number of people purchased.  Fang Ya introduced several places, but Wan Dong was not very satisfied because the area was too small.  In the end, Wandong asked Fang Ya to take him directly to the largest property for sale.  The largest private residence was owned by a minister of the Ministry of Rites who was excluded from becoming an official.  It covers an area of ??nearly thirty acres, and is located by Mochou Lake and close to the Qinhuai River. The asking price is quite high, 5,000 taels of silver.  Wandong, who has a net worth of one million or two, no longer takes this little money seriously.  Without counter-offering, he directly took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, with a face value of one thousand taels.  He counted out five cards, took out two ingots and ten taels of silver, and gave them to Fang Ya to handle other matters.  Fang Ya got a hefty tip, he was so happy that he went to work happily.  Under Wandong¡¯s silver bullet offensive, all problems were no longer a problem. Towards the evening, this big house had become Wandong¡¯s private property.  In fact, Wandong doesn't care about these procedures, because he already regards the entire earth as his own.  All the dozens of servants and maids in the house were retained and continued to be employed. Everyone was rewarded with a tael of silver, and everyone was very happy.  ?Looking at the time, it¡¯s almost time. The oiran competition in Zuixian Tower is about to begin.  Wan Dong patted Lei Peng on the shoulder and said, "I'll be a little dizzy, don't panic, let's go to the Oiran Competition." In the alley next to Zuixian Tower, Wan Dong and Lei Peng appeared quietly.  An unkempt beggar, holding a child in his arms, looked at Wandong and Lei Peng who appeared out of thin air in horror.  The next moment, a shrill female voice came from the beggar's mouth, which startled Wan Dong.  It turned out to be a woman.  I didn't expect that such a thin body could make such a loud sound.  The child was not afraid at all. He just hid in his mother's arms, turned his big black eyes, and secretly stared at Wan Dong.  Looking at this poor mother and daughter, I am afraid that life is very difficult.  Seeing that there was no one around, Wandong took out two ingots of silver and waved them in front of the beggar's eyes.  When the beggar saw the money, he quickly stopped talking.  Although he still looked at Wandong with fear, he still showed a trace of desire for silver.  "Be careful with your flowers, don't be robbed, and don't let others discover your silver." After thinking about it, I felt that this was inappropriate, so I found the 5-gram small silver nugget I brought from the main world in the storage space.  , there were about fifty or sixty yuan left, and he put them together with two ingots of silver in a small cloth bag and stuffed them all into the beggar.  "Hide the big money, spend the small pieces, and pay more attention to your own safety, ugh." After touching the child's head, Wandong turned and left with Lei Peng.  The beggar got a windfall from heaven, and he quickly kowtowed to the direction Wan Dong was walking with his children, and said in his mouth, "Thank you to the gods for saving the suffering. Thank you to the gods for saving the suffering." He hugged the little bag tightly in his arms, and tears flowed out silently  The child in her arms saw her mother crying and said softly: "Mom, don't cry. Yaomei didn't cry out that she was hungry. I am so good." The mother held the child and heard the child's words, but her tears were  Can't stop anymore.  The two walked out of the alley, and Lei Peng said: "Young Master has a bodhisattva heart, and he will be rewarded." Wandong smiled softly and said: "These people may be my people in the future. Seeing their people suffer,  Of course, I will help if I can. "Having seen Wandong's methods, Lei Peng felt that no matter what earth-shattering words Wandong said now, he could accept it calmly.  The young master should be one of the immortals, but for some reason he was banished to the mortal world.  If Wandong knew what Lei Peng was thinking at this moment, he might be rolling on the floor laughing.  Now I am just a small citizen who meets by chance.  This place is very close to Zuixian Tower, which occupies a very large area.  Wandong once sat on the top of the tower of Da Baoen Temple and looked down at Zuixian Tower, which was a huge building complex.  When he and Lei Peng arrived at the door, it was just when the lanterns were first turned on.  Under the illumination of countless lanterns and torches, the front door of Zuixian Tower seemed to be even more lively than the streets during the day. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Some dignitaries arrived, and there were also some scholars, who came on foot.  This place will surely become a gathering place for the entire Jinling upper class tonight.  The Oiran Competition is held in the largest Yingbin Building in Zuixian Tower.  The building is four stories high, with an empty space in the middle, and a stage for showcasing talents has been set up.  Above the second floor, there are individually isolated single rooms to allow guests more private space.  It seems that the operator of Zuixian Tower has put a lot of thought into it.  I chose the best single room on the second floor close to the stage, for which I spent an additional 100 taels of silver, which was a lot of money.  It costs a hundred or two silver, and the fruit tea comes will not be less.  Wandong was sitting on the fence, Erlang's legs resting on another chair, drinking tea and cracking melon seeds.  Lei Peng had no interest in these things. He found a chair to sit on, took out a roast chicken from his storage space, and gnawed it as if no one was watching.  He spent a day hanging out with Wan Dongsi and knew that the young man he was following had no airs and would not care about such trivial matters.  A dark-skinned man was sitting at the table, grabbing a roast chicken and gnawing wildly. A young man who looked like a young man had his legs crossed and was leaning on the fence to eat melon seeds.  This is what the old Madam saw when she entered this expensive single room with several girls accompanying her.  Liniang was stunned for a moment, her expression stiffened.  However, after many years of welcome and farewell, she quickly adjusted her mentality.  ¡®Weird things happen every year, but not many this year.  I have been running a brothel for so many years, but I have never seen anything happen.  " "Hey, this young master is very eye-catching, and he is called Liniang by the slave family. Is this your first time coming to our Zuixian Tower? Today our Zuixian Tower is holding an oiran competition. I wonder which girl will be lucky enough to attract the attention of the young master.  "Liniang spoke directly to Wandong.  In her opinion, that swarthy man was just a playboy.  "The Oiran Competition hasn't started yet. Sir, do you want the girls around me to sit with you and have a chat?" Wandong first looked at the old Madam Liniang who was chatting in front of him.  At the age of ten, her charm is still there, but she looks like a mature woman.  It is more in line with Wandong's aesthetics. As for the girls he brought, I would like to express my gratitude.  "Liniang, just stay here and serve me tea, let the others go and do their work." She gave Lei Peng a wink and motioned for him to reward some of the accompanying girls with some money.  Unexpectedly, Lei Haohan was fighting to the death with the roast chicken in his hand and didn't look at Wandong at all.  Wandong had no choice but to stand up and handed Liniang two ingots of silver and asked her to divide them among the girls.  By the way, Lei Peng was kicked.  Lei Peng looked at Wandong inexplicably, wondering what his son was going through.  "This guy is the only one who can be counted on in a fight. It seems that we need to hurry up and find a smart follower." Wan Dong thought to himself.  "Girls, why don't you thank the young master for your reward?" With a wave of his hand, several Yingying Yanyan behind him bowed down and gave a salute.  "Young Master, it's not impossible for Liniang to accompany you here. It's just that for tonight's oiran competition, all aspects need to be properly arranged. If there is any omission, it will inevitably disturb the young master's interest. Once Liniang has made arrangements, she will come to the young master.  Here¡¯s a toast. Please excuse me now.¡± Seeing that Liniang¡¯s words are reasonable, Wandong doesn¡¯t think it¡¯s too much.  He waved his hand nonchalantly and asked them all to retreat.  The rules of the Oiran Competition are very simple. First, the girls perform their talents.  After everyone has finished their performance, the guests will present flowers.  Finally, the ranking of the Oiran competition will be determined according to the number of flowers each girl receives.     certainly, the flowers are not the kind you pick from outside, but you have to buy flowers from Zuixianlou to count.  Each flower costs one tael of silver, an absolute steal.  You must know that in these days, one tael of silver could buy half a stone of rice (about 45 kilograms).  One tael of silver can buy 15 of the roast chickens that Lei Peng gnaws on.  Wandong doesn¡¯t care much about money because he robbed more than 20 rebel leaders of their wealth.  And those who can come here today to spend a lot of money are none other than the richest people in Jinling City.  Just when Lei Peng was about to destroy the second roast chicken.  A burst of silk and bamboo orchestral music sounded, the noisy crowd gradually calmed down, and the Oiran Competition officially began.
