Chapter 12: The City of Freedom? The capital of sin is pretty much the same

By the time Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Shanghu County again, the sky was getting dark.

But instead of decreasing, the number of people on the streets has increased.

Some couples walk hand in hand on the street side by side, looking intimate.

Some are families of four, walking leisurely on the streets, children holding their favorite snacks in their hands.

Seeing this scene, Queen Ma laughed happily:

"Chongba, you see how much that kid looks like the fourth child, naughty and mischievous."

Zhu Yuanzhang gradually smiled on his face at this time, and said:

"The fourth child is much more lively than him."

Zhu Di and Zhu Biao, who were auditing, also had a little more smile on their faces.

The night is getting darker, but there is no curfew in Shanghu County at all, just as you don't need a guide to enter the city, like a real free city.

After Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma had dinner together, they saw colorful lanterns hanging on the street.

Even at night, it doesn't look dark at all.

"Dad, let's go to the county center, shall we? I went to bed early last night, and I didn't have time to go shopping! ”

Zhu Biao proposed at this time.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard it, he was noncommittal, he was too tired last night, so he didn't see the grand scene today, but tonight he had to take a good look at the night in Shanghu County.

Several people began to walk to the county center, and along the way they saw all kinds of people, but without exception, these people had happy smiles on their faces.

Infected by the atmosphere of the city, Zhu Yuanzhang also had a smile on his face.

Finally arrived at the county center, Zhu Yuanzhang saw the signboard in heaven and earth at a glance, among the many shop signs, this heaven and earth is really eye-catching.

However, the next scene made the smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face gradually dissipate.

I saw that in front of the door of heaven and earth, there were many women with bare breasts and breasts, all dressed up in flowers and branches, enchanting and charming.

The women standing at the gates of heaven and earth are not stunning, but the gauze clothes they wear on their bodies, coupled with the black fishnet-like socks on their legs, make people want to stop.

It seems to be able to attract people's eyes, and people can't wait to look at it again.

And these women didn't care about the strange eyes of the people around them, and scratched their heads there.

Some of them were bold and even stepped forward to pull the man who was passing by, and said coquettishly:

"Uncle, come in and play!!"

"Come on, uncle, it's fun here!"

The bewitching figure, coupled with seductive words, is really unbearable.

Zhu Biao Zhu Di, who had never seen this kind of battle, stood next to him and kept swallowing saliva, looking hot and unbearable.

"Have you seen enough, two things that haven't seen the world, it's really embarrassing to us!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and the two of them were red-faced.

When Queen Ma saw the two of them like this, she proposed to go in other directions.

At this time, it is the beginning of the lanterns and the night is dark, and the people who come out to shop can be described as busy.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been shopping for a long time, finally gradually dissipated the depression he had just seen in the heavens and the earth.

"Dad, this Shanghu County is worthy of the title of the City of Freedom."

"Even at night, it's no less crowded than during the day."

"Not only that, but many stores that are not open during the day are all open at night, which is really refreshing."

Zhu Di shouted excitedly next to Zhu Yuanzhang, seemingly very satisfied with the grand occasion in Shanghu County.

Zhu Biao also agreed beside him:

"yes, Daddy."

"This Li Jinneng will run Shanghu County so prosperously, no matter what kind of person he is, but he must be a capable official."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the crowded streets, towering high-rise buildings, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Li Jin is a capable person."

"This Shanghu County is really a free city, worthy of its name."

As soon as this sentence was finished, a person next to him laughed and said:

"Free City? I think it's the capital of sin. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly startled and looked at the person who spoke.

I saw that the man's face was gray, his eyes were sunken, and his clothes were stained with a lot of dust.

Not at all like the local people, neatly dressed, but like gamblers in Yingtianfu.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask:

"I wonder why Your Excellency said that?"

"The grand occasion of Shanghu County is obvious to all, do you want to open your eyes and tell nonsense?"

The man continued to sneer and sneered:

"You look like outsiders."

"Who doesn't know, these are just the surface of Shanghu County."

"If you want to see the real situation in Shanghu County, you should go to the north of the city to have a look."

"If this is heaven, then there is hell!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart suddenly changed, what this person said was serious, could it be that he saw that it was really just an appearance.

I was deceived by Li Jin's whitewashing? Is all this fake?

Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion recurred.

Seeing that the man was leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang stepped out to stop him and said:

"I wonder if you can lead the way?"

"I don't have time!!"

The man directly refused, and he naturally refused to do this kind of thing.

Zhu Yuanzhang directly took out five taels of silver from his arms and said:

"I don't want Your Excellency to do it in vain, I just want Your Excellency to lead the way."

"Tell us about the city."

When the man saw the silver Zhu Yuanzhang took out, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded busily, and said:

"That relationship is good, as long as you are willing to give money, you can say anything!"

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's money offensive, the man soon began to talk endlessly, and began to introduce the specific situation of Shanghu County to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Let's go to Shanghai County, which is divided into five major urban areas, southeast, northwest and middle."

"The east and west of the city are divided into commercial areas and residential areas, and most of the things can be bought in the east of the city."

"Because the east of the city is close to the sea, all the goods bought and sold must be placed on the east side of the city."

"And the south of the city is the gathering place of officials, and it is also the location of the county government, and the mansion of the county magistrate is also there."

"Under our feet, it is in the city, a place for eating, drinking, and having fun, and it is a real gold cave, which is known as letting your prince in and eunuchs out."

"The restaurant inn here, the Qinglou gambling house is extremely luxurious, and the house is full of gold, but they all have the shares of the county magistrate, and no one dares to reach out."

"As for the north of the city, it is the darkest place in the whole city, where the black market is located, known as the Demon Cave."

"There are no human rights there, they are all gathering places of the most vicious people, and ordinary people are afraid to enter it."

Hearing this person's introduction in such detail, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed slightly.

These Qinglou gambling houses all have Li Jin's shares, looking at the popularity of these businesses, how much money should Li Jin be able to embezzle?

This is not only that, such a drunken city has an unknown side, which really surprised Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Take us to the north of the city, let's see the darkness buried in the city!"
