Chapter 85: Let’s live life
Zhang Debang, who is slow, doesn’t know these things.
He liked the little parrot very much. After all, it was he who taught this poor child to speak the Ming Dynasty word by word.
Just because he said something and the child learned it, the child was named a parrot.
When passing by Wanxiang Tower, Zhang Debang was not even interested in looking up, no matter how the singing girls who had just woken up tried to summon him. Now that he was about to be the father of two children, he could no longer have a bad reputation. spread out.
In the future, my daughter will get married and my son will get a wife. If I often go to a brothel, what good family would be willing to marry Zhang Debang?
Thinking of this, Zhang Debang quickened his pace and decided never to pass by Wanxiang Tower in the future.
None of the women here are good.
The Ming Dynasty of today is not the Ming Dynasty of the past. In the past, we had no food to eat and were sold into prostitution by our parents. There was nothing we could do about it.
Nowadays, all the women who remain in brothels are lazy. As long as they work hard, they can go to textile workshops, embroidery workshops, garment workshops, or even go to taverns to serve tea and water. I had enough to eat and had enough money to rent a small house to live.
As for the old bustard’s refusal, it’s even more of a joke. Anyone who is forced to become a prostitute, such as the shopkeeper of a brothel, the old bustard, and the teapot, are either sent to the Western Regions or sent to other places. Malacca, no matter where I am dispatched, I will never think of returning to Hangzhou in this life.
You must know that when these prostitutes enter a brothel, they need to register with the government and declare that they are willing and willing to accept heavy taxes. Only then can they enter the brothel and start working. To be precise, these prostitutes are They are the ones in the brothel who can make the decisions, while the old madam is the one who eats based on their looks.
The scarecrow was covered with rattles and was carried around by the salesman. Zhang Debang thought one of the red rattles sounded nice, so he picked it off, threw a few coins to the salesman, and then continued. Go to Shibo Division.
The City Shipping Department is located on the edge of the Qiantang River. The government cut off a five-mile-long section of the wharf from the mouth of the Qiantang River to house those who fled to the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, rich people can still live a good life here. After all, with the city of Hangzhou at their back, what can’t be found? Those who have no money are in misery. The government will provide these people with a limited amount of the coarsest food, with sweet potatoes and corn being the most common.
Therefore, this area under the jurisdiction of the Hangzhou Ship Division is called a smelly place by Hangzhou people.
The name is really vivid, it really stinks there.
Zhang Debang's cousin Sun De works here as a errand, and he is also the team leader who specializes in managing these rogues.
The Shipping Department does not allow outsiders to enter, and neither does Zhang Debang.
After asking someone to find Sun De, Zhang Bangde sat at a tea stall drinking tea and waited for his cousin to come out.
TeaHe vomited after just one sip of water. It wasn't that the tea didn't taste good, but that a Japanese man sitting opposite him made him sick. Why was he sure he was a Japanese man? Just look at the bald head of his head.
Zhang Debang immediately shouted to the guard at the door: "Oh, look, there is a Japanese running out here."
The guard gave Zhang Debang a cold look. He continued to stand upright and turned a deaf ear to this guy's shouts.
On the other hand, the tea stall owner was wiping the tea bowl and said: "This Japanese is an overseas student, not a slave who ran away from a smelly place."
The Japanese stood up angrily and shouted at the boss He shouted: "The people there are not slaves, they are all foreigners living in Ming Dynasty."
The tea boss was not angry either, he smiled and gave Zhang Debang another bowl of tea.
Zhang Debang looked at the green head of the Japanese overseas student and asked the tea boss in confusion: "Do all barbarians have their heads like this? The slaves are like this, and the Japanese pirates are like this."
p>
"I am an international student!"
Hatoyama Kadoichiro was extremely angry.
This guy is a tough and sturdy man who is rare among Japanese people, and his angry look is even more frightening. Zhang Debang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned his head and chatted with the tea boss about other things.
"You want to get a slave from inside to help your family work?"
After hearing Zhang Debang's words, the tea boss curled his lips disdainfully.
“Isn’t this cheap?”
“You can’t do this even if it’s cheap. What do you think about bringing a slave into your home? You don’t have a wife, a daughter, or a girl? Yesterday, Li Shibo Si Sun Tou just threw a guy who was cheating on someone else’s wife into the sea.
Let me tell you, these guys have been locked up in the stinking place for a long time, and they are like wild animals. They are not even the ones in the stinking place. The women you want are all messing around, how can you do it when you see the clean family members in your house?" Zhang Debang was stunned, took out the piece of paper from his arms and looked at it carefully. He thought about Zheng's appearance again, frowned and said, "They don't look like siblings."
As soon as this thought came up, he remembered Zheng's gentleness, and slapped himself gently. Son, I don’t think you should think so.
Sun De walked out of the Ship's Department carrying a cowhide whip, took the tea brought by the tea boss and said to Zhang Debang: "If you have anything to say, just say it, we are busy inside."
Zhang Debang quickly saw Sun De pull aside and explained the matter to Sun De's cousin in detail.
Sun De took the portrait, took a look at it, and said to Zhang Debang: "Okay, just wait, I will go in and take a look, and if there is any, I will bring it out to you. You go and pay." No, I probably threw him into the sea."
After that, he returned to the Shipbuilding Department.
"Cousin, please be careful, life is at stake."
Sun De turned a deaf ear to Zhang Debang's shouts, entered the Shibo Department, and passed through several fences and entered the smelly warehouse. Land, throw the portrait to yourselfHis subordinates said: "Find this man as soon as possible. He is a Korean."
One of the subordinates smiled and said: "I know this man. He lives in the attic and has a lot of money, but he doesn't have much left. They are about to sell him to some island owners, but they are very short of people."
Sun De frowned and said: "Who is he, how can he still have money?"
"I heard that he was a big shot in North Korea. He escaped after the collapse of the country and wanted to enter our country, Ming Dynasty. However, His Majesty issued a decree that these people were not allowed to enter the mainland of Ming Dynasty. These people had nowhere to go, so they had to stay in the stinking Waiting for the court to relent.
A very interesting person always says that he is a prince and wants to see our Majesty. ”
“Take me to meet this person.”
The subordinates agreed and led Sun De all the way inside.
Not all places are smelly, at least on the side close to the hills, it is basically not smelly. A tall and tall man eight feet tall is walking barefoot by the river, with his hair disheveled. He looked embarrassed. After seeing his face clearly, even Sun De couldn't help but praise him - Qi Yuxuan.
Although Sun De is a high-ranking person here, when this person looks up at Sun De who is standing on a high place, he still behaves noble and calm.
"Do you know a woman named Park Zaixi?"
Li Gangzhen frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I can't remember."
Sun Dedao: "She said you are her brother, is that true?"
Li Gangzhen was furious, looked at Sun Dedao: "I am the prince, if she is my sister, where is there someone named Pu?" The truth? There must be someone pretending to be someone. Official, please report to the Hangzhou magistrate on my behalf, saying that someone is pretending to be the Li family. Today someone dares to pretend to be the Li family but the government ignores it. Then, tomorrow someone will dare to pretend to be the Yun family. .
Although I, Li Gangzhen, have fallen into decline, I am still a member of the royal family, and the blood of the royal family flows in my body. This cannot be tarnished, and it will not change because of the collapse of Korea. ”
Sun De looked at Li Gangzhen and said: "This woman is probably your wife. You seem to have a five-year-old daughter."
Li Gangzhen sneered and said: "I have too many women. Yes, I have had sixteen sons. Who can remember the woman who gave birth to a daughter? As the fourth prince of North Korea, I order you to report my identity quickly. I want to go to Beijing to see His Majesty the Ming Emperor and request Ming Dynasty helped Korea recover."
Sun De looked back at his subordinates, who were looking at him with a smile and winking.
"That fork will give him a ride."
Sun De told his subordinates and was about to turn around and leave, but he heard Li Gangzhen shouting behind him: "I You are the prince of North Korea. You, a small official, must tell the governor of Hangzhou what I say.
Otherwise, once I meet His Majesty the Ming Emperor, I will skin you to death. ”
Sun De sighed slightly,He has seen too many such people. Without counselors, housekeepers, subordinates, and servants, he would not even be able to speak properly.
Smarter people should mix themselves with the ordinary people no matter what when they are in trouble, and try to reduce their sense of existence as much as possible. You must know that whether it is Jianzhou** harming North Korea or Japan* * harmed North Korea, but it was Ming Dynasty that finally got the land of North Korea.
Sun De didn’t think it was possible to expect Daming to spit out the meat he had eaten. After all, the Ming army has been stationed in North Korea, and there are basically not many people left in North Korea.
The fork brought by the subordinates was two feet long. It was made of bamboo and had a wide half-ring in the middle. This thing was used by the people in charge of the smelly land of the Municipal Shipping Department to push people into the water. tool.
The water at the mouth of the Qiantang River is very fast.
"What are you going to do? What are you going to do? Spare your life, spare your life, I have money, I have money..."
Sun De watched Li Gang being killed by two of his subordinates Pushed with a fork into the depths of the Qiantang River, he watched the prince struggle in the current, and finally sank into the water and disappeared.
After waiting for a while, he didn’t see the man floating up, so he went to the attic where Li Gangzhen lived, found some belongings, packed a bag, put it on his arm and left the smelly place.
"Cousin, have you found the person?"
Zhang Debang hurriedly greeted Sun De when he saw him coming out.
Sun De glanced at his unlearned cousin with pity and sighed: "He was just sent away. I was a step too late and only found a baggage. You can give it to him." Sister."
"Huh? Where did he go?"
"I heard that he didn't want to stay in the smelly place and went to Malacca to collect sulfur."
p>"Ah? Mining sulfur? Can you still live there? Cousin, I heard that people who do this work will not live until forty years old."
Sun De smiled and shook his head. , threw the baggage to Zhang Bonde and said: "But, I heard that those who are willing to do this job, as long as they work for ten years, can settle in Malacca and become the overseas population of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhang Bonde sighed. : "You must have this destiny."
Sun De said with a smile: "Go home and live a good life. Don't think about it. I also tell your concubine, don't always think about what you have and what you don't have." ."
