Pushing the door into the bar, the heat of the charcoal fire mixed with the smell of alcohol and sweat, making Ling Qi frown slightly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The cold wind that poured into the room with him cleared the air and woke up many drunkards. The drunkards obviously wouldn't be grateful to him, but a few of them were frozen and immediately slapped the table and scolded!

The scolding dissipated at the same time as the wind and frost faded away.

It's not because the drunkards have lost their temper, but because people have finally seen what they are wearing!

A thick and neat fur coat, good quality boots, a bowler hat, and a brown fur scarf.

The true aristocracy may not even bother to wear this outfit on their bodies, but they are already a luxury that the commoners cannot afford to save for several years.

A fairly good-looking waitress walked up to Ling Qi with three points of expectation and seven points of bumpiness, and asked cautiously:

"My lord, may I ask who you are..."

Ling Qi took off his hat and opened his heavy coat again, revealing the black autumn clothes and golden pocket watch inside.

"Don't worry, I'm not from the tax inspection bureau, I'm just an ordinary customer. ”

Ling Qi smiled at the girl, and the waitress blushed slightly, but also breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lord said and laughed, there is a single room upstairs, I don't know you..."

This bar is not of high grade, although it is located in the commercial street near the rich area, but just look at the sign outside, you know that it is not an elegant place. Not to mention aristocrats, even ordinary gentry and businessmen with some statuses may not come to this kind of place for recreation.

Even so, the bar is divided into two floors, with a lobby below. Above is a box, which is used to provide special services to some wealthy commoners and petty bourgeoisie.

People like Ling Qi, dressed formally and with one-sided glasses, must have come to ask for special services if they were not here to collect taxes and ask for trouble. As for the drinks and food, I believe that people who can buy half of the bar with their belongings will not be happy to have lunch in the hall with a group of drunks in this kind of place.

The waitress peeked at Ling Qi, still a little expectant in her heart.

The real aristocracy is not something that people like her can hope for, this does not mean entering the other party's family, but just a dewy marriage, which is also unlikely. But a young gentry like Ling Qi is not bad-looking, and he is almost the Prince Charming he can meet in his dreams. Not to mention that such people are often more generous, just having a night of joy with each other is enough to make themselves remember for a lifetime. So Amanda, who doesn't usually do this kind of thing, doesn't mind making a cameo appearance as "Illya's messenger".

"Upstairs, no, no!"

Ling Qi didn't know the rules of this bar, but he could probably guess a few, but he didn't come here to have fun.

Looking at the girl who seemed to be a little disappointed, feeling the youthful atmosphere of the other party, and looking down at the girl's beautiful face, Ling Qi seemed to see another mature woman through that still a little childish face.

Ling Qi suddenly changed his words under the girl's disappointed look.

"Just not for now. ”

Then, he took off his coat, threw it to the girl, and said lightly:

"Later, you can drink with me down there first. ”

His words made the girl stunned again, and then Amanda's eyes lit up, and with a little shyness, she hurriedly chased after Ling Qi, who was striding towards the empty seat.

Outside the bar, the sky was still gloomy, countless snowflakes were falling, goose feathers of snow were falling, and there were large white waves!

Pieces of snowflakes are like polygonal crystals, if these crystals are magnified a hundred or a thousand times, and the identical faces will immediately appear faintly!

That's—

"Fried, you're so lucky!"

In the kitchen of the bar, a waitress looked enviously at Amanda who had come to serve her drinks.

The news of a gentleman's arrival at the bar has spread like a wind, and the waiters in the bar are talking about this person, and of course the lucky Amanda will be mentioned in passing.

Although the gentry were not nobles, or even necessarily in power, wealthy businessmen, they must have considerable social popularity, good social status, and necessary family assets. The gentry were often considered to be the reserve of the nobility, and were often looked down upon, even if it was almost impossible to turn them into a regular service.

The British Empire was founded 200 years ago, and there are less than 2,000 nobles recognized by the royal family today, out of 200 million people in the country.

And these two thousand people have even included the heirs to the titles established by hereditary nobles, newly canonized non-hereditary honorary nobles!

In short, although the aristocratic group is huge, this refers to the families and even supporters of the nobility, not the aristocracy itself.

The status of the gentry was certainly much lower than that of the formal aristocracy, but it was not inferior to the children of the average nobleman. A gentleman is not a gentleman, he can be called a gentleman when he wears neat clothes and has a decent conversation. But the gentry, generally a large city that can accommodate 100,000 people, will not exceed 100 people, it is really one in a thousand!

Even the owner of this bar is probably far from the standard of the gentry.

If it is said that when Ling Qi first arrived, the identity of the gentry was still just people's speculation. Then almost a few minutes later, he was recognized by someone who cared about him!

There was no television in this world, and radio was not popular, but there were newspapers and propaganda speeches, so the real gentry were still very popular. Whether people support him or not, at least he must be known and become a celebrity!

The so-called celebrities need to be well-known.

Kunma's reputation is very average, and there have been a lot of gossips about him, with mixed reviews, but his social popularity is not low!

Amanda hurriedly ran to the front with a full tray in her hand.

First, she was afraid that the guests would be in a hurry, and second, she was also a little bumpy and panicked in her heart.

Although the guest has a very high social status, is not too old, and looks good, but just now I heard that the other party was Mr. Kunma, the general secretary of the local Huaying Bank, which still surprised Amanda.

Cage, the local branch manager of the Flower Eagle Bank, is a notoriously miserly and should be regarded as the most angry gentry. Quinma is the opposite of Cage, I heard that he is very generous, but his daily behavior is quite disorderly, and some time ago it was rumored that he was involved in a vicious homicide case.

Although there is always an element of exaggeration in those lace news, there are still many people who believe it. And is the word "many" groundless?

Whenever the locals mention Kunma, as long as they have heard of the gentry's name, their impression is that in addition to the generosity of the legend, it is the cruelty, lust, and intemperance in sexual affairs that are propagated.

Thinking of this, Amanda couldn't help but clamp her legs, and her slender arms shook a little, almost knocking over the tray.

In the tray, in the flask, in the shaking amber liquor, a human face slowly emerged!

In the hall, Ling Qi's arrival made the noise much quieter.

While he frequently attracts the attention of women, he undoubtedly makes the men who come to relax very uncomfortable.

It's not some kind of jealousy, or a psychological reaction, but a real discomfort, like a thorn in the back.

The contradictions that arise in social classes have arisen in all ages, especially at a time when there are wars everywhere abroad and the people at home are on the verge of struggling to survive.

The common people are the easiest group of people to feed, and as long as they can barely survive, they will not rebel. But there will be no rebellion, it does not mean that there are no complaints! In fact, for the rulers, people still know that complaining, that is a good thing! When people can't live, but the world seems to be peaceful and peaceful, that is the darkness before the dawn, terrible and terrifying!

Therefore, before the social structure completely collapses and the inherent order is destroyed, people need to complain, they need to vent, and they need to be heard!

But those who complain, who definitely don't want to listen to themselves, are too different from their own class, or even real superiors!

Unless you don't want to do it at all, which employee will scold Huai in front of the boss?

If Ling Qi hadn't been here, I'm afraid that there would have been a lot of noise in the tavern, and all kinds of dissatisfaction with the aristocracy and complaints about society would have been full of ears.

But he was here, and he was immediately like a needle in the sea, making the turbulent sea surface calm down.

Until Amanda came back with drinks and food and accompanied Ling Qi to drink. Ling, who played the role of a gentry, also began to attack the young waitress. When the people around him saw his virtue, they were relieved while disdainful in their hearts.

People's thinking is so simple, so complex, psychology is a very subtle thing, whether you recognize it or not, how to look at it, vigilance is more or less, what affects these is often just some simple actions.

The gradually released drinkers made Ling Qitan hear a lot of information. Just as Ling Qi was playing with Amanda while sorting out and analyzing useful information, he didn't notice that as more and more wine entered his stomach, his facial features had changed slightly!

The face is still exactly the same, but the temperament has changed dramatically. Perhaps because others saw Ben Fei Lingqi's original appearance, his changes at this time did not cause any unnecessary attention and panic.

"Huh?"

Ling Qi swept Amanda, who was almost attached to him, and pushed her away slightly.

The girl was startled, not understanding what the man next to her meant, especially when the other party's hand was still cleverly bypassing the thin clothes and holding the soft * flesh on her chest.

When she saw Ling Qi's cold gaze and indifferent look, Amanda couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and all the desires were extinguished.

Ling Qi let go, letting it out of its place where it shouldn't be.

"Now is not the time, you come to my house at night to look for me, I will live..."

Ling Qi lowered his head and whispered against Amanda's earlobe.

"Yikes!"

Faced with such a more formal invitation, the surprise in Amanda's heart immediately washed away the faint panic. It's just that after reacting, the fear in her heart immediately came back to her head, this time it was not a reaction to Ling Qi's abnormality, but due to Kunma's notoriety. The girl was worried that if she went to the appointment, she would encounter some rumored tragedy.

But if she doesn't go, Amanda is not reconciled.

She is a beautiful girl and very smart, but her humble birth and poor family lead to almost no hope of her coming out. In this day and age, in such a country, the usefulness of beauty and wisdom is far less than something more practical!

Ling Qi didn't care about the little woman's thoughts, if this girl went to the appointment, he didn't mind taking advantage of her. If the girl doesn't show up, he won't have anything to lose.

Drinking all the wine in the cup, Ling Qi didn't care about the eyes of others, and after throwing a little more than enough reward to the girl, Shi Ran picked up his coat from the hanger on the side, put it on, and walked outside.

Obtaining information from a bar, a mortal method, he hadn't used in years.

Obviously, all the information is hidden in the brain of "Kunma", but unfortunately the previous Ling Qi has no ability to decipher it!

"Lost souls, hehe! This kind of place, at most, you can only find fallen souls, lost..."

Late at night, Ling Qi walked alone on the streets, after Amanda went to the appointment and captured the little woman in the most direct way. Ling Qi was finally able to get out of his home and go on the mission of Juggernaut.

Ling Qi didn't know Kunma's background before, and thought that it wouldn't affect him much at all, because he was a reincarnation, and he waved his hand and left as soon as the time came. As everyone knows, that is the key to the key, if there is no way to understand Kunma's past, and some of the things he has done, the task of dominating will not be able to be completed in the easiest way, and the best opportunity will be missed!

Because Kunma was not at all what Ling Qi had secretly guessed before, what kind of aristocratic bastard was the illegitimate son of a nobleman who had a huge network, or was simply protected by the upper echelons of the empire, and was a member of some secret department.

On the contrary, Kunma is simply a spy of other countries, and he has been targeted by the Empire's secret services!

There is a country's power behind it that can be borrowed, even if the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, of course, it can make Kunma become an upper-class person in a very short time, and some troubles can be settled!

If Ling Qi had tried to understand Kunma's past, it would not be difficult to find that before the age of fifteen, he still lived in the slums, had no parents to rely on, and had no skills, and was the most inferior kind of person in the empire!

If Ling Qi'an had spent a hundred days in peace, drinking a little wine and playing with women every day, the empire's spy organization would not have troubled him. But once he wants to complete the task of domination, to save some lost soul, and misses the tailor-made shortcut, I am afraid that he will definitely be led into some trap!

The future is no longer a secret to those who can understand it. For those who can't understand, it's confusing. Many things are destined because they can't see clearly at the time, so they can only go down the path arranged by others. When they look back the next day, some people are likely to be annoyed, thinking that God had given them a chance, and only hating that they didn't find out and didn't grasp it. But I don't know that those seemingly wonderful opportunities, if you go back to the past environment, if you don't have a prophet, with your own ability and means at that time, you will be given a hundred opportunities, and a hundred and one times will be missed!

It's just the second mission, no matter how outstanding the talent is, it is impossible to have Ling Qi's ability to directly read "memories"! According to the normal development, the original Ling Qi will inevitably be led to another fork in the road by coincidence through investigation!

With all the memories of "Kunma", even clearer than Kunma himself, and being able to analyze them, Ling Qi had already found at least three examples from the other party's memories that met the criteria of dominance!

In one case, the time interval was too long, so it was difficult to grasp the opportunity. And the other case, which is too deeply hidden, is something that Kunma himself does not want to face, and the chance of being discovered is not very large, and it will soon be missed! Only the matter involving the pearl of the local city lord is not absolutely secret. Although the public doesn't know, there have always been some rumors circulating in Kunma's circle, which can be regarded as traces!

If it was the previous Ling Qi, 100% would have discovered this secret between the twentieth and thirtieth day, and decided to use it as a breakthrough. Then Kunma's identity will bring all kinds of negative effects. What he will have to face at that time is definitely not only the strength of the local city guards, but also the strength of the British Empire's secret services. It would almost certainly be a life-or-death situation!

Ling Qi is strategizing, and he can even see most of the future trajectory of this life, how can he be so stupid to face difficulties again?

At his current level, he could easily let those obstacles disappear. But if he does so, his plan to re-infiltrate the reincarnation space will also be a complete failure!

"Lost Souls!"

Ling Qi muttered to himself, and soon passed through the business district and came to the edge of the slum! It took him an hour to trot, and he only walked for a quarter of an hour, and this level was still within the normal range of "Ling Qi". It's just that the previous one can't do it easily!

When he arrived here, Ling Qi immediately became familiar with the road, and disappeared into the depths of the slum in three or two clicks.

If someone who knows Kunma well, such as some so-called high-class people who occasionally invite him to parties on weekdays, I am afraid that they will be shocked to see him like this.

The slum road is no more than other areas, this is the garbage dump of the whole city, and all kinds of small roads are winding around, and if you are not familiar with the area, it is easy to get fainted.

Ling Qi's footsteps are steady, this is not only a matter of his own strength, but also the memory of "physical instinct", he has become accustomed to this road that he has walked for more than ten years!

When he came to a shack, Ling Qi happened to meet a little girl with blond hair, who came out of the dilapidated wooden shed tremblingly.

It was a girl of about ten years old, with a gray face and dirty body, but her body looked well-proportioned, and when washed, she was probably at least at the upper middle level, which was a very dangerous sign in the slums, even though she was still young.

"Big... My lord. ”

The big Lori in front of her seemed to be a little at a loss, she was carrying a bamboo basket, there were some wildflowers in the bamboo basket, as well as a few straw objects, some matches and other bits and pieces.

The heavy snow had stopped in the afternoon, but the evening was still the coldest part of the day. To run out on a night like this, not to mention the other risks, the threat of the environment alone is enough for this little girl to die outside for nowhere. Obviously, the girl's family has reached the point of exhaustion!
