Chapter 53: The News Is Nothing Wrong
Not long after Zhong An left, the Jin Mansion welcomed another frequent visitor who was second only to Du Xiu, the master of Jiyue Pavilion, King Zhong Zhe of Qing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The difference is that today's Qingwang should be in a happy mood.
This is, of course, based on the great benefits he has gained at the moment, and that alone is enough for him to take a big step towards that position.
Moreover, this is the credit of Su Jin.
Naturally, King Qing couldn't have come empty-handed.
He brought with him a horse, white, with thick hooves, which walked like iron stones hitting the ground, but the sound of hooves was not dull but very clear. When they saw this horse appear, everyone in the Jin Mansion was shocked, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes that King Qing had brought it, they even wondered if Su Yan had returned.
Yes, this is a Yueshi iron hoof horse, and it is exactly the same as the one that Su Yan took away before.
It can be seen that the gift given by King Qing really took a lot of thought, not to mention the money.
Biyue paced around the iron-hoofed horse repeatedly, her eyes never taking off the horse, and she muttered in disbelief, "It's too similar, it's too similar.......
Su Jin owed to King Qing, "This gift is so precious and rare, Su Jin really doesn't dare to accept it." ”
King Qing smiled lightly, "Miss Su's words make it difficult for this king, if this gift is placed in the eyes of others, it is indeed precious, but in the eyes of Miss Su, what is an iron hoof horse?" And this king also saw that the horse that Miss Su drove when she went to the house last time was changed, and then he learned that it was the reason why the eldest prince took the horse away when he left, so this king sent people to inquire and find it in many ways, and then he found an iron hoof horse that was basically the same as Miss Su's previous one from a caravan that had been going to the Yue clan and Da Chen for many years, but after all, this horse was not as good as Miss Su's previous horse that had been housed for a long time and was well-trained, so I was afraid that Miss Su would not like it. ”
"The prince's words made Su Jin think about it and not accept it!" Su Jin smiled, "In this way, then Su Jin has no choice but to be respectful and obey!" ”
King Qing nodded in satisfaction, "That's how it should be!" ”
Su Jin took a step back, raised his hand with a smile and said, "Lord Wang, please!" ”

........
No matter how prosperous and wealthy a place is, there are always many groups that are incompatible with these prosperity, even the imperial capital Jinling is no exception.
Because of the strict control of the Gyeonggi governor, people begging in the city are naturally rare, but it does not mean that there are none, but the vast majority of them are not in the city, because the guards at the city gate, the outside cannot enter, and the inside will be expelled, so it seems that only the extreme prosperity on the surface is left.
People who can't find a livelihood and don't want to be evicted start looking for a new way out, so there are people who don't have a fixed place to live, they don't have a fixed job, they are still wandering, but they won't be evicted, because they have enough food to eat, clean clothes to wear, and of course, it's all based on their ability to barely maintain a normal life.
They have careers.
Their profession is, selling news.
There are two kinds of people who are the most well-informed in the Jin Tombs, one is those who are wealthy and noble, and those who do everything possible to collect major news and fresh deeds in all aspects for their masters, and there is also a kind of person, that is, "old dog nose".
"Old dog nose" does not refer to a person, but a group, called "dog nose" because they are the most well-informed, and can basically reach 90% reliability, "old" is not because of their age, but because their news is very comprehensive, and the memory is super strong, even if it is a matter of many years, only you can't think of it, there is nothing they don't know, but the specific ability is still different from person to person.
Their working hours are concentrated in the early hours of the morning until midnight, which is also the time of the day when the latest news and events begin to spread. If you go out at this time, you will definitely see that there is almost such a person on every street corner, they are dressed very ordinary, and some may even have traces of sewing and repairing, but they are very clean, they may be very young or even a teenager, they may be very old and old, they are either standing motionless, or they just lay something on the ground and sit on it, in short, they are those who are called "old dognoses" who specialize in selling news for a living.
In fact, for ordinary people, their existence is not significant, they only need to live in their own small world, and what big events and big news they need to know will reach their ears sooner or later, so there is no need to spend money to buy it, even if you buy it, you just buy some information that is not very important or much, because news also has a price, and the more precious and little-known news is, the more expensive it is. Unless it's a special time or there is money and nowhere to eliminate the disaster, but there are not many such situations after all, and even the latter is simply impossible. If the "old dognoses" want to live on this small money, it is impossible, so where is their biggest source of income, or in those wealthy families.
These people have their own sources and don't care about these street beggars.
Yes, in their eyes, the "old dognose" is begging, at most it is just a different way.
But what they don't know is that the minions under them who specialize in listening and providing them with the specific and timely information they designate are not in good faith, and most of the information provided is privately bought by the people below from the "old dognoses" on the street who they don't even look at.
After all, it's hard work to keep your ears up and running around all day to find out the news.
However, what no one knows is that in the early hours of this morning, under the cover of the faint morning light, what kind of bloodless bloodshed is happening.
In the early hours of this morning, a little boy who was about thirteen or fourteen years old knocked on the back door of General Zhao's mansion, and then the door opened, and a thin man in his forties and fifties with a dull face had no surprised expression when he saw that it was a little boy.
The two didn't speak, the little man respectfully handed a small brocade bag to the man, and the man threw a few pieces of broken silver to the little boy with disdain, and then slammed the door shut and went in!
This little boy is in the "old dognose business", and it is not the first time he has come to Zhao Mansion to buy news.
The little boy spread out his hand and counted the broken silver in detail over and over again, and made sure that the money was finally enough to add a dress for each of the two younger sisters below for this summer, and with a bend of his eyebrows, he left happily.
However, the middle-aged man who took the brocade bag just now was closing the door, opened the messages in the bag, and read two of them When he read the third one, the whole person was stunned, fortunately, he still had a trace of sober consciousness, that is, the news in the brocade bag could not be seen or heard by the second person.
Without hesitation, he immediately called two subordinates and hurried out from behind, and soon caught up with the little boy who had not gone far, the little boy turned around when he heard the movement, and before anyone could see it clearly, he only felt that his head was confused, and the whole person fell.
The little boy who had lost consciousness was directly and rudely dragged away, and he didn't know where he was going to be dragged to, and the silver he just got was scattered all over the place, and no one picked it up, at least not now, but it is estimated that the new clothes of the sisters in the family this year, I am afraid there is no hope......
But this is not the end, not long after this little boy was taken away, many other "old dognoses" in the streets and alleys also suffered inexplicably, and some people came to see the news they sold today, did not give, robbed; Forget it if you rob it, admit your bad luck, but the other party only glanced at it twice, and then made a gesture to the person behind him, and the person behind rushed up directly to punch and knock him out, dragged away, and there was one who didn't faint, and returned a hand, and then was directly killed, and there was a young man in his twenties, but he didn't run away, he ran into the river in a panic, and he made a splash and never came up again.
All of this happened in less than half an hour, and it was only when it was over that it was starting to get light.
Many people find that a lot of "old dognoses" have not come out today, which is a little strange, but maybe there is no news to sell today, or maybe they went out to explore the news, in short, there can be many reasons.
There was a person in the alley in the east of the city who was killed, and his condition was so miserable that he couldn't bear to look at it directly, probably because he had a big enmity with someone.
A young man drowned in the river south of the city, and he didn't know how he fell.
Liu A-Niang's thirteen-year-old eldest son in the west corner of the city has not come back since he went out, and he doesn't know where to go.
There are also some people who also find that there seem to be people around them who are missing, but it has nothing to do with them, and those people are not fixed in the first place, who knows where they went!
The common denominator is that they all make a living by doing "old dog noses".
But no one cares about that, and in the eyes of the vast majority of people, they are scattered and unemployed.
The essence of buying news for money is still begging, not a profession.
Another point is that most of these people have no family, they have neighbors or homeowners, but they don't know each other, and they are not welcome because they are beggars in disguise, but they are still beggars.
I may only have one acre and three points of land, I may be just a rough guy in a small shop, or even a person who burns a fire for a rich and noble family, and the money may not be as much as you make selling news, but after all, I have a profession and you don't, this is prejudice, even if it may not be justified.
