Chapter 640: The Inn Accidental
Yun Xi stayed here for a while after that, and then set off to return to the palace. He came to talk about the two purposes of the martial arts hall today, one is to inspect the new queue of students in the martial arts hall after another month, and the other is to listen to the military songs and whether they can meet their expectations. Now that his two goals have been achieved, he is naturally going back to the palace.
Today is July 12th, almost the hottest day of the year, Yun Xi stood on the stage and was already covered in sweat after being exposed to the sun for half an hour, wiped it with a hand towel and immediately got into the carriage. Although he couldn't travel with a lot of ice, and the martial arts hall didn't have it, it was much cooler inside the carriage than outside.
However, there were unforeseen circumstances, and it suddenly rained on the way to the palace when he came out of the martial arts hall, and the rain was not small.
Because he didn't expect the rain at all, the guards didn't bring their robes and hats, and Yun Xi stayed in the carriage by himself, although he wouldn't be watered, but he still decided to find a place to shelter from the rain.
"Childe, there happens to be a hotel over there, and the heavy rain can't stop for a while, so let's rest in this hotel for a while." Li Bo said.
Yun Xi stood under the eaves, looked up at the sky and felt that the rain could not be stopped in a short time, nodded and asked him to prepare, and said: "Open a few rooms, let the big guy take a bath, take off the clothes to dry, even if it can't be dried, it is more comfortable than wearing it like this." ”
"Also, ask the guy at the inn where there are any people around here who sell hats, buy a few."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Bo replied and walked into the inn; After a while, everything was arranged, and the people who went to buy the hat and clothes also set off, and they escorted Yunxi to the hotel.
At this time, the first floor of the store was full of people, all of whom were forced into the hotel by this sudden heavy rain. There are two points of food and drinks at home, so that they can sit down and rest for a while; The family is so poor that they naturally squat under the eaves at the door to avoid the rain; Wealthier, such as Yun Xi, opened a room to rest.
So after Yun Xi came in, everyone just glanced at what to do, just now a son who claimed to be the commander of the envoy also came in with a few guards, Yun Xi They didn't wear the clothes of the royal guards today.
Yun Xi first came to the open room to take a look, it's not bad, this shop is very sensitive to doing business, the hot water has already begun to boil, they used the hot water immediately after a few extra dollars, and at this time a group of strong men were queuing up to take a bath.
Yun Xi's body was not very wet, and he didn't want to take a bath in the hotel, so he finally decided to sit downstairs for a while after watching a room of big men.
A few guards escorted Yun Xi downstairs and ordered a few side dishes, Yun Xi didn't eat a bite, and the other guards tasted a little.
At this time, the hall on the first floor was full of blowing sounds, and Yun Xi was just listening casually, but immediately heard what he was interested in.
……
……
"I finally bought rouge gouache, but I just came out of the store and encountered heavy rain, in order to prevent the rouge gouache from being stained with rainwater, I could only go to the hotel to hide from the rain, and I had to be told again after I went back." Said a lewd man.
"There is no rouge gouache sold on the side of the Qinhuai River? How did you come all this way to buy here? The other, rather athletic man, asked.
"The kind of goods I bought are high-end, and the colors are not very bright, they are all sold to Xungui's family, and they are not usually used in brothels, and there is no one on the Qinhuai River, so I can only come here to buy them." The lewd man said.
"Oh, no wonder. By the way, Old Wei, where have you been staying lately? I don't see you in any of the brothels I frequent. The strong man asked.
"Hey, didn't the police from Ying Tianfu investigate the brothel in April last year? It just so happened that in the brothel where I was at the time, a young girl who had just come in reported that she was forced into a prostitute, and the entire brothel was sealed, and the bustard and several of her close subordinates were exiled and imprisoned. ”
"I was also locked up in the yamen for a few days before I was released. Don't say it, this policeman is really different from the past officers, you have to say that they are not greedy, it is definitely nonsense, but they have a lot of conscience than the previous officers. At the very least, the cell is a place where people live, and the toilet is emptied once a day; A few of my money was taken away, but every day I was given enough dry rice to eat, and I already had the idea of eating gruel for a few days. ”
"After I got out of the prison, I was handed over to the people of the Ministry of Rites, and they told us a few more times, and let us each do what we should do."
"I don't have any money in my hand, so I can only go to one of my concubines. You also know that it is Xie Niangzi, a secret prostitute. But now it's not a secret prostitute, that time when the police of Ying Tianfu checked the prostitutes in the city, they found her out, and she became a prostitute. ”
After turning from darkness to light, she bought a few women from Lehu's family, and continued to do business with her own yard. I was the head of her companionship and continued to make ends meet. ”
"Oh. Hey, I heard that Xu Bantou and Zhao Dagu from Jiangning County were copied by the police from Xie Niangzi's yard? The strong man suddenly asked.
"Not really! At that time, Xie Niangzi was frightened. By the way, at that time, these policemen didn't take Xie Niangzi's money easily, and they all left it to her, which was really much better than the previous officials. The lewd man said.
"You said that it is true, the police in Ying Tianfu are much stronger than the previous officials, and I was not less angry with them before, but now it is much better." Strong man said.
"Look at what you're saying, who doesn't know your boss Li, how many officials can trouble you?" The lewd man said.
"It's better than a person who has an official skin on his body, which month will I not give them filial piety? The officials opened their mouths, they want to give me some eye medicine in front of the officials, what can I do? The strong man said.
"It's a lot better now." Lewd men.
"Last year was okay, but this year it won't. Last year, there were few police officers in Yingtianfu, and they couldn't manage the wharf outside the city, but this year there are more police, and the wharf is also in charge, and the business is not good. ”
"But there's still a bit of a leak to make money. They just came over, and they obviously didn't understand the outside of the city, and many things were done wrong, such as ......, such as ......, so now there are complaints outside the city, especially for the tax police, many people can't stand it. The strong man said.
The lewd man smiled, and was just about to speak, when suddenly someone beside them said, "This strong man surnamed Li, can I say a few words to you?" ”
The two of them looked sideways, and saw a man dressed in a garment of the most precious fabric standing beside them. Next to this man, there were two big men in very wet clothes guarding him.
