Chapter 34: The Slums

Murong Tao calmed down and recalled a few reminders from Luther, it seems that the guy behind them is a threat from the north? The northern kingdoms of the Kingdom of France? In addition to the Holy Roman Empire, there is only Russia, but Luther pointed to the northern countries, obviously Russia is not in the scope of consideration, the Holy Roman Empire is one, Britain cannot be excluded, and the Netherlands Commonwealth, which is about to break away from Spanish control, should also be considered, so that there are three countries, and Norway and Sweden cannot be taken lightly.

"This key is just a map that takes you to find my hide, and what is shown on the map depends on your ability, you can take as much as you can." Luther laughed miserably and said, "I don't have an heir under my knees, and most of the money earned by the Luther Chamber of Commerce has been misappropriated by that bastard of Royo, but what he doesn't know is that most of my savings have long been transferred to a safe place, hmph, where will their goddamn nobles really treat you as a human being?" When you need to collect money, you can say anything good, don't think that if you get on the relationship with the Duke of Loire, it will be great, hehehe~! ”

When he came out of the cell, he saw Melody leaning on the corner not far away, with a sullen look on his little face, and he didn't know which unlucky ghost had provoked him.

"You can go." Murong Tao walked over and lowered his voice.

"Oh, let's go!" Melody said casually, and his dissatisfied eyes still swept over the cell not far away, Murong Tao guessed that it was probably the cell where Governor Royo was held, because after this place was taken over by the Duke, only these two were imprisoned, and the rest of the people who didn't have much sin seemed to have been released.

Melody returned to the dining-room sullenly, where the Duke of Loire was enjoying the breakfast that Bayard had prepared himself, and beside him, several sweaty chef-like fellows bowed their heads as if they were children who had done something wrong, and they did not dare to make a sound.

"Oh, Melody, let's have some breakfast!" The Duke of Loire's forehead was covered with fine sweat, and the chamberlain next to him kept wiping it, obviously Bayard added some sweating ingredients to his breakfast, and the Duke's face was not a little better than what he had seen before, "Master Bayard, please sit down and use some too?" Leave those idiots alone! I can't do a little thing well.,I will only use that jealous heart to blame others.,I don't think I'll leave directly.,Even if you're not a doctor.,You should have a little eyesight, right? ”

Seeing Murong Tao sitting next to him, Bayard leaned into his ear and whispered what had just happened, and Murong Tao's eyes became playful when he looked at these cooks in the Governor's Mansion.

It turned out to be the chef of the Governor's Mansion who wanted to establish a prestige, but he was caught by Ulysses, and these people were really unlucky. However, Bayard knows how to use ginger slices to sweat the duke, and he has some skills. Murong Tao praised Bayard without hesitation, and also instructed the two chamberlains of the Duke who were sweating non-stop, "It's a good thing that the adults keep sweating, but after the meal, you must add some salt to the adults, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable." ”

"Salt?!" One of the chamberlains asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"The simplest thing is to sprinkle a pinch of salt in the water, warm water is the best, drink a little to replenish the salt content in the body, a lot of sweating will lose salt in the body, that's the reason." Murong Tao explained slightly, "After drinking the salt water, you have to take a good rest, you have just sweated, you have to avoid eating recently, eat something from the list, and let the chefs get some cereal porridge." ”

"How can you let the Duke's golden body eat the cereal porridge that only the poor people in the slums eat?" As soon as Murong Tao's words fell, one of the chefs complained dissatisfiedly, and the rest of the chefs also echoed.

"This chef, do you think cereal porridge is low-grade?" Murong Tao asked very unhappily, "Do you think that the poor living in the slums should be as many people as you?" I don't think so, they feed their families by their own skills, and in my opinion they are all great people, but as for you, I think you are a bully, if you don't serve in the Governor's Palace, you are probably not as good as those poor people who eat with your hands, where do you come from? ”

"Hmph, I won't dwell on this issue with you, but as the head chef of the Governor's Mansion for a day, I must oppose it to the end!" The questioning chef clasped his hands to his chest and snorted coldly, the guy who was scared like a grandson in front of the Duke just now is now like a guy like a civilian character like Murong Tao, a guy who fights people!

"There's nothing to do with you here, so step down!" Another chamberlain answered, and then ordered the cooks, "You have heard what this master has said, haven't you?" Prepare the brine and cereal, and the Duke will use them later! ”

The chefs swept Bayard and Murong Tao with resentful eyes one by one, and then they left the restaurant one after another.

"It seems that your chef here has no skills and is quite arrogant, if this was in our sailor's tavern, which apprentice dared to talk in front of the boss, I would have slapped it with an ear scraper!" Murong Tao saw that those cooks were gone, and he didn't forget to take eye medicine in front of the Duke.

"McLody, why do you have a bad face?" Loire's attention was all on Melody's body, Murong Tao's provocation just now didn't go too deep to his heart, in his opinion, Melody was in a good mood when he left before, how could it be that when he came back, it was like a different person, could it be that this guy named Rudy in the prison made Melody angry? So much so that the Duke's health had just improved, and he looked at Murong Tao with no anger on his face, so that Murong Tao swallowed back what he was going to say next.

These nobles are really people who turn their faces faster than turning books, and they will not provoke if they can not provoke them in the future.

"Regardless of Mr. Rudy's business, I was bored to talk to Royo just now, but I didn't expect that a governor who had lost power didn't take me seriously, saying that when he returned to Paris, the one behind him would make the decision for him." Melody is still a child in the end, he can't hide things in his heart, and when he was waiting outside the cell, he was bored and chatted with Royo, and he was stimulated by the other party, and at the same time relieved Murong Tao's encirclement, although Loire's face was gloomy, he had turned to the other side, as if he was biting his ears with the two chamberlains.

"Melody, don't take it personally, this kind of trivial matter, I'm... I'm going to be an uncle for you, a deposed governor, is he really something? "The Duke of Loire may really be very ill, and in the presence of his two outsiders, he also made such a promise unabashedly, and he will not wait for three months to kill people, right?

"Bayard, there are still five days before departure, and you will spend these five days in the Governor's Palace, and the tavern will not be in trouble with the help of your two apprentices." Murong Tao glanced at the Duke of Loire, who was pale, and still a little uneasy, and said, "That ginger can be boiled directly into the soup for adults to take, it is easier to absorb than putting it in the dish, and it looks like it will take a few more days." ”

Seeing that Murong Tao actually took the initiative to leave Bayard in the Governor's Palace, the Duke of Loire was also very grateful, apologized for his recklessness before, and followed Melody to say that he wanted to send Murong Tao, so he left the restaurant behind Melody, and at this moment a carriage had been parked in front of the Governor's Palace.

"Hey, McLeddy, why did you come up too? Do you still want to go out? Are you the only one? Where's that guard of yours? Murong Tao just breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to take the duke's carriage back to the tavern like this, when he suddenly found a person sitting opposite, and then he realized that it was the little guy Melody, "You can't sneak out, right?" You're going to follow me to the tavern? But there are so many people there, it's not safe! ”

"Ulysses, I let him stay in the Doge's Palace, and there is no freedom at all with me, it's annoying!" Melody's face was full of smiles, as if he had changed from the previous sullen and as if he had changed someone, "Mr. Rudy, if you are not busy, how about taking me to the slums south of the city?" It's been a while since I've been to Cherbourg Port, and it's boring to be around these hypocritical aristocrats, I haven't been to the slums, and I don't know how the people live there. ”

"You say you're dressed like this to go to the slums?" Murong Tao looked Melody up and down, "Don't be kidding, just this carriage will attract a lot of onlookers." ”

"Is it really that bad there?" Melody's face was less excited, but she still asked expectantly, "How can I get there?" ”

"Are you really going?" Murong Tao remembered the note in his hand, since it was all out, it was better to go for a trip and make sure the matter, so as not to get busy and have no time to take care of this aspect later, "It's not impossible for you to go, but you have to change your outfit, and also, don't ask questions along the way, you have to listen to me for everything, if you do it, I will take you there." ”

"Yay!" Melody happily slapped his little hand and said, "Then pull the hook, if you lie to me, you will be a puppy!" ”

And out of the puppy! Who hangs you on the hook for a hundred years?

"Tell the coachman, and when you get to the tavern, you will return by yourself, and you will eat in the tavern, and let Ulysses come to the tavern to pick you up in the evening!" Seeing that Melody had complied, he looked out the window and saw a group of slaves passing by the carriage, and the dark-skinned slaves couldn't help but look curiously when they saw a gorgeous carriage passing by, apparently slaves who had just arrived in the port of Cherbourg.
