Hutou City is not big. It is certainly prosperous among border towns, but compared with the cities of later generations that often have three, four or five rings, it still seems too small.
The four of them led the horses and arrived at the inn soon.
On weekdays, by this point in the inn, business would have slowed down. At most, there would still be two or three tables of guests waiting to see who would leave first and then pay the bill, competing for endurance.
But the inn tonight was obviously a little unusual. It was too deserted. Except for a small lantern at the door of the inn, the rest of the place was pitch black.
"My Lord, there is a problem." Xue San immediately rushed to Zheng Fan and took a protective stance.
There must be a problem, just like the club in later generations actually closed at ten o'clock. Either something went wrong or they were severely beaten.
Zheng Fan narrowed his eyes. He was really worried that something might happen to the inn. After all, this was his home in this world, and there were people at home.
"Is Alang back?"
At this time, there was a white-haired man at the door holding a lantern and looking here.
I know this uncle Zheng Fan, he is the doorman of the inn. Usually after the inn closes at night, he will come out and place the bed behind the door panel to keep watch.
He had no relatives in Hutou City and could no longer survive, so Siniang rewarded him with a mouthful of food. He received no wages, but she was in charge of the food, and he also received a red envelope during the festival.
"What happened at home?" Xue San asked the old man.
"Oh, I'm really back, and I'm all back." The uncle looked at all four of them with a lantern, and then said: "Alangs, the inn is closed."
"It doesn't open. What happened?" Zheng Fan asked.
"No, no, it's Siniang and Mr. Bei who bought a new house a while ago. Everyone has moved to the new house, and now the little old man is here to guard it. That’s all.
By the way, Siniang also told the young man that if the Alangs come back, they should go to the yard at the inner corner of the old well at the street entrance. ”
"Moved?" Zheng Fan was a little confused.
It’s so good, why did you move?
Even if you want to speculate in land and buy real estate... you have no future in Hutou City?
On the other hand, Xue San and Liang Cheng were not surprised after hearing this explanation. It seemed that they had already been mentally prepared.
They followed their master out to kill happily, how could the few who stayed at home be safe?
If you don’t do something, won’t you be compared to others?
…………
“The monthly money of the officials in Hutou City will be doubled according to the above account.”
The blind man Beizi On the chair, holding an orange in his hand, peeling the orange while making a decision.
Because of the abundant sunshine, the oranges here are very sweet and delicious..
"Twice?" A Ming, who was holding the account book in his hand, was a little confused and said, "Is it too much?"
Three Gods Association, in Xiazibei" With a broken heart,
all the leaders went to the arms of their respective gods overnight;
The remaining believers went to the next day. It is really too easy to disintegrate this kind of gang that has no real business profit distribution and relies entirely on defrauding believers to pay for incense.
The Hyena Gang was almost completely slaughtered by A Ming himself. There might be two or three kittens that survived, but it would not affect the overall situation.
But the business of the Hyena Gang was stopped immediately because Blind Bei was concerned about Zheng Fan's attitude. Those barbarian slaves stayed as slaves, and all the dozen little ladies were kept by Blind Bei. , specially arranged.
The Juyi Gang and the Che Gang took over relatively smoothly, but you must know that after the inn forces unified the four forces in Hutou City, they also inherited the four forces every month. The money needed to be paid as tribute to the official officials of Hutou City.
The adults at the top don’t care how the gangs below are killing and killing, as long as the monthly routine delivered to their doorsteps is still there, they will not pay attention to it.
This is the black path and the white path. They seem to be in harmony with each other, but they are completely connected, just like the Tai Chi Pisces diagram. From ancient times to the present, they cannot be completely separated.
Now, the inn is equivalent to having to bear twice as much monthly money as before under Xiazi Bei’s decision after cutting off two sources of income.
Faced with A Ming’s confusion, Blind Bei licked his lips in the direction where Siniang was sitting and said:
“A Ming, ask Siniang, she There are more brothels in various cities in every era, and they know more."
After hearing this, Si Niang nodded and said:
"This expense cannot be saved, and, Because we are new here and have just emerged, we need to show our attitude more sincerely."
A Ming shook his head. He actually didn't like this kind of calculation, but he still had one more thing. Not understanding the matter, he asked:
"Why were the Sanshen Guild demolished so directly?"
The believers paid a lot of money for incense every month.
"The Lord is a cultural creator, well, I said it was in the past."
"What does this have to do with the Lord?"
"And As disgusted as he is with human trafficking, the Lord is not willing to touch the issue of the church and X-mass, so let’s not count on the money and let’s not touch this kind of business.”
Siniang picked up a cup of tea at this time, took a sip, and said:
"Blind Zibei's comics were banned because they involved that plot."
"..." Blind Bei said.
A Ming was a little bit dumbfounded.
"It's not bad. The savings of several gangs are quite large, which is enough for our recent expenses. Those two-mouthed people above, let's feed them first.
As long as they don't get in the way, we will have more opportunities to make money.
The seven of us, together, are still in this ancient time. If we can't even make money, we might as well just do it ourselves. Just wipe your neck.”
“Well, it’s not difficult to make money. Once you’ve sorted out the relationship, we’ll get started.” Siniang agreed.
As long as the subsequent business can keep up, the money on hand now is enough for everyone to spend the past few months, and it is a very luxurious expense.
"What business?" A Ming asked.
The blind man Bei’s empty eyes were facing A Ming.
Don’t speak.
"What do you mean?" A Ming asked.
“Look at my eyes.”
“…………” A Ming.
Feng Siniang was at the side to smooth things over, and stabbed A Ming in the side, saying:
“We are all time travellers, let’s make some perfume and some soap. Isn’t it easy to make some money?”
At this time, the door of the house was pushed open from the outside, and Yun Yatou stuck her head out and shouted to the three people inside:
"Mom, the master is back, they are all back."
…………
Zheng Fan felt like he was in a dream,
Watch it before In many other time-travel works, most of the protagonists have a very hard life after time-traveling. Later, it became popular that after time-traveling, there would be a drag sister by his side.
On my side, there was a maid at the beginning. After wandering around for a while, there was a big courtyard when I came back.
Especially when Zheng Fan was led through the rockery in the yard, he saw two rows of young ladies in ancient costumes standing on both sides, greeting him in unison.
For a moment, Zheng Fan felt in a trance.
At this moment, Zheng Fan suddenly had an idea in his heart. It seemed that it would be good to live like this.
Although there is no electricity, Internet or air conditioning, the life of an ancient master, with three wives and four concubines, and the control of his qi, is extremely attractive.
The fragrance of powder is filling the air, hot water has been prepared in the pool, and flower petals are spread on top.
The sound of silk and bamboo music sounded, teasing the heartstrings just right.
I don’t know when, the clothes on his body were taken off. Zheng Fan walked into the pool in a daze and blended into the fragrant wind.
Phew,
It’s so vain.
………………
“I think this is a bit too much. Aren’t you afraid that the Lord will sink in like this?”
A Ming was a little worried. .
Now, all plans are being carried out in an orderly manner, and the underground forces in Hutou City have also beenUnity, Lord, they are back safely.
But Blind Bei directly arranged this gentle scene. Was he planning to get the Lord drunk in it?
Blind Bei shook his head and said: "It still depends on the Lord's own choice."
"Choice?"
"Actually, one's own choice Desire can never be satisfied. When you get one, you will naturally want to get two and three;
Many literary works like to portray the kind of simple old farmer with his face facing the loess and his back to the sky. , I think they are honest, kind, and down-to-earth;
But if there is really no chance to move forward and there is no hope of leaving, who would want to stay so down-to-earth for the rest of their lives?"
p>"I just think it's a bit low to seduce the Lord in this way."
"It's okay. When the Lord goes out and comes back, he has to enjoy the fruits of our team's development. Lord Different from us, each of us is actually a pervert.
Most of our interests and hobbies are not in the enjoyment that normal people understand. Our needs are more extreme. The desire is even more twisted.
As for the Lord, he has a more normal side. You can never expect that the Lord and you will squat together and enjoy each other's age and region. Human blood tastes sweeter, right?"
"Don't take it off for fun, if the master is stuck in the back house and can't come out, you will cry."
"That is the Lord's own choice. What we promised him before, the right to choose belongs to him. He can also make a rich man live a stable life and have children."
"I only remember that the Lord did not make this choice before."
"But people will change. When we first came here, we only had one inn, and we could barely afford food and clothing. At that time, we were barefoot and were not afraid of wearing shoes. Now that the conditions have improved, we naturally have to give the Lord a chance to choose again.
It’s not like you haven’t heard of the story of the two cows. "
"Liang Cheng and the others are already having dinner in the side hall, don't you want to go?"
"Go and join us later?"
"Okay. ."
The two stood here for about another quarter of an hour, and saw that Zheng Fan had not come out of the backyard.
Blind Bei sighed,
said:
"Go to the side hall and listen to what they encountered along the way."
…………
In the side hall,
Xue San, Liang Cheng and Fan Li have finished eating, especially the two rice buckets next to Fan Li are already empty .
This child, after going to the desert, got a chance to eat rice, and he couldn't hold it back.
After Blind Bei and A Ming came in, everyone except Magic Pill was there.
Feng Siniang said with some confusion:
"My lord,Woolen cloth? "
"I guess I need to take a rest. " Blind Bei replied.
For a while,
everyone present was silent.
Xue San smashed his lips and looked at Blind Bei wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it, but as you can imagine, he was very reluctant.
Liang Cheng was more straightforward. He raised his head and faced Blind Bei and A Ming. He said directly:
“Nonsense. ”
Obviously, they also knew about Blind Bei’s arrangement for the Lord.
Blind Bei was silent and even wanted to laugh.
Six Niang said Just focus on the needlework in your hands.
“Hey, have you eaten and drank well? ”
At this time,
Zheng Fan’s voice came from outside the door.
Everyone stood up and looked outside.
Zheng Fan, wearing a leopard skin, walked in barefoot from the door, walked straight to the front seat and sat down.
It felt like taking a shower in the bathroom. Wearing the casual clothes in the bathroom to the leisure area in the rain
There are two differences,
Firstly, this leopard print is simply annoying;
The second thing is, this damn thing is really a leopard skin...
It should be the leader of the Hyena Gang. The collection left behind was modified by Si Niang and given directly to the leader.
“Sister. "Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and pointed at Siniang.
"Your Majesty. "
"Next time, prepare a set of clothes for me at the Tangchi. I searched for a long time and found this set. I am really embarrassed to come out naked to see you. ”
“The slave family knows, this is the slave family’s fault. ”
“It’s not that it’s not that. Zheng Fan waved his hand, then looked at the people at the dinner table, and said with a smile: "Here, are you all eating and drinking?" ”
“Eat, my lord. "
"Eat. ”
“I’m waiting for you, Lord. "
Zheng Fan smiled, leaned slightly to the left side of the chair, put his hands together and patted them gently,
said:
"Okay, let's get down to business. ”
The five demon kings here only feel that their master’s whole temperament has changed tremendously since he came in. This kind of confidence, this kind of maturity, and this kind of... ease, as if It was like a different person
Only Blind Bei smiled and said nothing.
He just used his mental power to detect that the Lord was actually in the hall. I stood there in the corridor outside for a long time,
While shivering a little from the cold outside, I was talking to myself as if I was doing self-hypnosis:
"I am Chen Daoming , I am Chen Daoming, I am Chen Daoming! ”
