Chapter 42: Bringing You to the World
"Yes, everyone is a man, who doesn't understand whom!"
The rest of the guards followed suit.
The group talked and laughed and entered a box.
To be honest, Ye Xiang really hadn't been to this box before.
As soon as he entered the box, Ye Xiang noticed that something was wrong.
Unlike other streets, there are shops on both sides of the street.
On this street, red lanterns are hung in front of the shops on both sides of the street.
It was a little dark, but the whole box was lit by the lanterns that hung on the door.
The streets are crowded with pedestrians, but most of them are men.
The men walked frivolously, either with happy smiles on their faces, or as if they were still unsatisfied, and some were drunk with bottles.
"Brother Yong, what kind of place is this?"
Ye Xiang really felt that he had seen the world, in other places, by this time, the general shops had already closed.
However, the shops on this street are a lively scene.
After walking a distance, Ye Xiang even saw that at the entrance of some shops, there were two girls dressed in colorful clothes, waving handkerchiefs to greet customers.
There are even some girls who directly drag the customers passing by the door and drag them to the store.
"How's it going, have you seen the world?"
Seeing Ye Xiang's very surprised look, Li Yong asked very happily.
"See."
Ye Xiang replied truthfully, to be honest, it was the first time he had seen such a girl, the girl Ye Xiang had seen before was either dressed in a white or cyan plain dress, or a coarse cloth dress, where had he ever seen such a bright woman.
And most importantly, these women were dressed thinly, with the neckline wide open in front of their shirts, revealing large areas of snow-white skin......
"Don't look at indecency, don't look at indecency!"
Ye Xiang was curious, and he heard Qu Pingyang beside him, muttering quietly.
"What are you muttering?"
Ye Xiang turned his head and asked.
"I didn't mutter, I couldn't watch, I couldn't watch."
Qu Pingyang lowered his head and continued to mutter.
Ye Xiang didn't ask anymore, and a few people continued to walk forward, and at this time, Li Yong asked again.
"Where are you two from?"
"Castle Peak."
"Qu Jiazhuang's."
"Yo, Qu Jiazhuang, I am also from Qu Jiazhuang. Follow my brother for a while, and my brother will find you a beautiful one! ”
Hearing Qu Pingyang say that he was from Qujiazhuang, one of the guards immediately chatted enthusiastically.
"Brother Yong, where are you?"
"I'm a native of Jinghai."
Li Yong replied casually as he walked.
"Yo, people from the city."
The guard just now interjected again.
To be honest, these guards hadn't really asked Li Yong where he was from before.
People are generally just on official business and rarely talk about such topics.
"Brother Yong, I heard that you people in the city are very good at playing, and you will have to teach your brothers in a while."
"Where, where, go, to the place, that's it!"
Li Yong said, and several people happened to walk to the door of a shop.
Unlike other shops, although there are lanterns hanging at the entrance of this shop, there are no girls standing here to attract customers.
And the door of the shop was closed, as if it had already closed.
"Bang!"
Li Yong kicked the door.
"Open the door!"
After kicking the door, Li Yong shouted at the top of his voice.
"Open the door!"
"Open the door!"
"Open the door!"
"Open the door!"
The four guards who followed behind Li Yong also shouted.
"Open the door!"
"Open the door!"
Seeing that the four guards all shouted, Ye Xiang and Qu Pingyang also shouted.
However, several people shouted again, but there was still no sound inside the door.
"Today you two are on your first day on the job. Give the two of you a task to smash the door open for me. ”
"Good Ratcha!"
"Good Ratcha!"
Ye Xiang responded to Qu Pingyang, and raised his leg to the door of the store.
"Bang!"
With a single sound, the door panel was kicked off.
"Rush! Rush! Rush in! ”
As soon as the door was kicked open, Li Yong commanded the guards and rushed in.
At this time, Ye Xiang found that inside the store, there was not only a shop, but a yard, like a backyard.
In the courtyard, there are two wings and a hall.
At this time, in front of the doors of the two wings, an old woman dressed in flowers was standing.
Behind the old woman, there were also a few girls standing, who were fat and thin, but unfortunately their appearance was not very beautiful, and they could only be called ordinary goods.
"Yo, Mother Zhao, I thought there was no one in this yard anymore, and I was about to bring someone to seal the shop, but I didn't expect you to be here?"
As soon as Li Yong came in, he pulled out the official knife he was carrying, and while playing with the official knife, he was talking to the old woman opposite.
Seeing a few people coming in, the old woman hurriedly ran over with small steps, and grabbed Li Yong's arm as soon as she ran over.
"Master Li! Please, don't close our shop! We're just a bunch of dusty women who come out to sell ...... Make some hard-earned money and barely survive, if you close our shop, how can you let us live! ”
The old woman said with a handful of snot and tears, very sad.
"Go and go, don't you have to pay taxes if you come out and sell it!" Li Yong pushed the old woman away.
"Imperial regulations, as long as you are in Jinghai City, any shop that operates a business must pay taxes, and it is the same if you sell it! And no one forces you to come out and sell, you can be good, and you don't have to pay taxes! ”
Li Yong said righteously.
"We don't want to be good, we have to come out and sell!"
However, as soon as Li Yong finished speaking, the old woman had not yet spoken, and the colorful women behind the old woman shouted.
"Master Li, now that the empire has so many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and there are fierce beasts outside the city that are harming the dealer, our group of weak women, with poor talents, can't cultivate soul power, so we have to live! If you don't sell it, where will the money come from, and live......"
Several of the women began to cry as they spoke.
"Nonsense! Don't you have a family? Can't your family support you? Do you have to make money by selling it and make a living? ”
"There are old and young in the family, and the husband died early...... Master Li, if you marry me and raise me in the future, I won't come out and sell it! ”
Hearing Li Yong's scolding, these women immediately retorted.
"I'm even more miserable, since I was a child, I found out that my qualifications were poor, and my cultivation was not good at soul power, and then I was sold to this flower shop, but fortunately, Zhao's mother took me in and gave me a bite to eat, otherwise, I would have starved to death on the streets......"
"Nonsense! Our Jinghai County, how many of them can't marry a wife, a single person in half the city! If you don't go to find a good family to marry, you're still arguing here! ”
"Singles...... What kind of singles would want us to be like this, we have been reduced to women in the dust, living by selling ourselves, even if there are men who want us, but those singles you said, Li Ye, their lives are difficult, how can we give them the rest of our lives, alas, this is fate, it is better to continue to do this business, but also be happy......"
"Shut up!"
