As the center of the Ming Dynasty, Tiandu naturally has a scary high land price. Take the small courtyard in Gualiu Hutong rented by Ning Du as an example, the rent for a year is 500 taels, which is a peasant family, and it can only be rented for a year after 50 years without eating or drinking. And to really buy this yard, it takes 25,000 taels. Ordinary people can't afford it in their lifetime.

The ground floor here is as low as a weed, and the upper floor is as high as a cloud. Some people can't sleep in the pigsty, and some people have deep courtyards. There are the worst in the world, and there are the best in the world.

The price of the first-class girl who made the fireworks would be ten times higher than the original price, which was definitely a staggering number. But this money is really not worth mentioning for the owner of such a house. When ordinary people walk here, they will mistakenly think that they have entered the legendary court. Even the little housekeeper here couldn't tell how many houses there were.

In the deep courtyard, the piano is harmonious, singing and dancing.

The lights are a little dim, and you can't really see what everyone is doing.

"How's it going?" asked the leader of the banquet.

"That's it. ”

"I've always been relieved that you're doing things. ”

"Xie Ye appreciated. ”

"Has there been an investigation into what his identity is?"

"There are a lot of people behind him, but they are all small and unpopular. In the end, it was found out that this person was the new owner of Yulong Street. The voice of the person answering was always low, but it was clear enough.

"Interesting, interesting. Yulong Street is also an interesting place, and it is suitable for selling fish in the future. ”

Someone next to him laughed and said: "If you want to come to Chaomingfang, those sour and rotten shows have to cover their mouths and noses again, and they quickly escape with their trouser legs." shouted: Sven is defeated, Sven is defeated!"

"Hahahaha......"

"That's right! Those poor scholars, except for these things, don't know anything else!"

"After a trip, I was fishy, and I was afraid that I would be ridiculed by my peers for more than half a year. The next time someone mentions this, they will argue with a red face!"

"Hahahaha......"

"Then it's decided, let Yulong Street sell fish in the future!"

......

In the choke cage casino after midnight, the crowd dispersed, and the hustle and bustle of invading the walls was slowly cooling.

The evil brother lay on the woman's body, eating the grapes handed by the woman, and spitting the seeds into the distant cup as a pastime.

"What's wrong, unhappy again?" the woman asked thoughtfully.

The evil brother did not speak, and continued to spit out the grape seeds.

"Is it because the loss is a bit big?" The woman knew that there had been more and more sword wins recently, and the sword had been winning as always, making the suffocation casino continue to lose money these days.

"Not really. The evil brother replied nonchalantly.

Most of the people who come to the casino are real gamblers. In order to avoid frequent dumping of money, gamblers can deposit their money here, stifling the casino's credentials. Of course, the choke casino guarantees that the vouchers can be exchanged at any time, and there is no less than the interest of the bank. As a result, many customers only have credentials in their hands, not real money, and even if they lose money, they are only numerical losses. As long as the capital turnover comes, no loss is considered a loss.

"And what are you bothering about?"

"I'm thinking about the meaning of life. ”

The woman smiled skillfully, put the grapes in the evil brother's mouth, and said, "You won't bother with such useless things. Is it that the sword is no longer coming?"

"It's more troublesome than this. The people on the third floor want to go down with a sword. ”

"Is it a bureau?"

"Who knows what they are fighting with, those despicable hyenas dressed in human skin. ”

"The sword may not go. ”

"He'll go. "Brother Evil made up his mind directly.

"Why?"

"Because he is a sword, he is a sword that can only advance and not retreat. ”

"I'd rather bend than bend. ”

"Yes. He could die. ”

"That's his business, not yours. ”

"It's a pity. It's like that bottle of wine, spilled in the stinky ditch, it's a pity. ”

"That's all we can do, and if we do, we'll be involved. We can't control the following things, even if it's Yulong Street. ”

The evil brother sneered, didn't respond again, and went to think about things alone.

The next day, the Cages Casino was open as usual, and people walked in with excitement and anticipation.

The preparation of the choke casino was cut off from the sound outside, Ning Du picked up the familiar mask, he had a battle in the choke dragon arena tonight, the opponent was not very strong, and it should be over soon. At this time, the evil brother knocked on the door and walked in.

The evil brother glanced at Ning Du, sat on the long stone chair, leaned back, cocked Erlang's legs, and said casually: "That should have been ten years ago." There is a person in Tiandu, named Zhang Wenrui, the official to the imperial history of the capital, is the official of the fourth grade, upright, with clean sleeves and an excellent reputation. is such a person, suddenly dead on the street, the culprit is on the spot, and there are countless witnesses. However, in the end, the matter was not resolved. ”

"I don't understand. Ning Du didn't put on a mask, and sat down to listen to the evil brother speak slowly.

"According to the regulations, the imperial court will send people from the Thirteen Sects to protect officials above the fifth grade, and the lowest realm of those who go to take up the protection work is the peak of the mountain realm. Killing seven-rank officials is to be beheaded all over the house, not to mention the important four-rank officials. The culprit was caught red-handed, and the case can be said to be condemned to death, but in the end, there was no follow-up. ”

"You're reminding me?"

"Yes. No one can say what happened ten years ago, but the people of ten years ago are still there. The evil brother's expression was a little solemn.

"Eunuch?"

"Son. ”

"Understood. ”

"So you're still going?" said the evil brother frowned slightly. "I know, the language is a little weak. You must also have a high status and also a deep background. But I have to warn you, don't go down tomorrow. If you can bend and stretch, you are a big husband. ”

Ning Du put on a mask and said with a smile: "Ten years ago, they could kill, and now, the sword can also kill." ”

......

Most of the cultivators employed in the Royal Dragon Academy are not in a high realm, and they basically stay in the realm of difficulty, and most of them are not very talented, enterprising, and not very competitive. For such people, the Royal Dragon Temple is really a great place to go.

From the point of view of the royal house, twenty taels of silver a month for the ordinary position of the Royal Dragon Academy is not enough for the normal expenses of a cultivator, and the stakes in the casino are not so low. The silver taels required by a cultivator are completely beyond the understanding of ordinary people, and they are all counted in tens of thousands.

The Imperial Dragon Temple is regarded as one of the most desirable places for countless cultivators, naturally because it has no shortage of income.

Xia Guan, the head of the Imperial Dragon Academy, knew that his subordinates would cover up the fluctuations on the "Star Map" for the use of force by certain cultivators on weekdays, but he didn't know how rampant this behavior had become. He thought that the heavens were peaceful and prosperous, but in fact, there were cultivators who were killing people at every moment, and even worse, when he saw the cultivators of the mountain realm killing people in the street, there was no record in the Royal Dragon Academy. Similar gray incomes add up, and everyone in the Royal Dragon Temple can buy a few mansions in Tiandu.

"Alas, tomorrow is another big job!"

"How much?"

"! not a single hair!"

"Talking from above again?"

"Not really!"

"Damn! these dogs are full of fat, let's do all this dirty work!"

"Seal six streets, see the mountain realm, how much does it cost to do such a big job? The meat is full, and there is no soup left, it's too much of a thing!"

"When Lao Tzu stops doing it one day, he must write an anonymous letter to report these grandsons!"

"Come on, can you bring down the Imperial Dragon Temple? ”

"That's right. Eat a mouthful!"

"Tomorrow, a lot of people will have to die!"
