Chapter 81: The Concubine and the Handmaid (3)

Zhong Shaoyu has only met Ye Sang once, but just that side, she can also feel that Ye Sang is a character who does not admit defeat, otherwise she would not go alone to hunt demons because of a few words from her peers.

What he experienced in Kyoto must have been far beyond the scope of his response, so he would ask for help so directly to Yuan Jingce, that is to say, the strange things he encountered were very likely to have spread in the streets and alleys of Kyoto, or had already spread.

Today, she is not like when she was still in Wumeng Mountain, either she was invited by the local rich and famous people to get rid of demons, or she happened to encounter an uneven road and pulled out a knife to help.

Of course, the vast majority will be the first type, and this situation has an advantage, that is, every time she goes to a place, she will be received by a good student, and the causes and consequences of the matter will also be told in detail, and if there is a need, she will be fully cooperated, unlike now, she is almost blind, except for knowing that there is something going on in Kyoto, nothing else.

Although there are no clues, it is still necessary to investigate. Zhong Shaoyu and Jiang Yu found a restaurant to settle in, and without taking a break, they went to the most prosperous night market street in Kyoto.

Although Kyoto is prosperous, it is also very contrasting, the rich people are quite generous, from food to clothing, they are piled up with silver, which is simply a pleasure in the world, while the poor people are huddled in the dark alleys, looking at the magnificent picture of heaven not far away and swallowing their saliva silently.

Zhong Shaoyu and Jiang Yu walked from one end of the night market to the other, the more they walked there, the more cold the night market seemed to be, when they were about to approach the south city gate, there were almost no people on the street, except for some beggars who looked at the two people to see if they could ask for two coins, there was only one fortune teller and storyteller left, wearing clothes that had been sewn countless times, sitting at a table at the foot of a slope, and was napping.

If you want to say that the most well-informed place must be a teahouse or a restaurant, but at this time, business is busy, even if you go in, the shopkeeper who runs the hall may not be able to take care of them.

Apart from these two places, the most receptive to all kinds of news in the area are storytellers and beggars.

Zhong Shaoyu walked to the table and knocked on the table, trying to wake up the storyteller.

The storyteller slept soundly, and his snoring was deafening.

Zhong Shaoyu knocked on the table again, and saw that the other party still didn't respond, so he glanced at Jiang Yu helplessly, Jiang Yu seemed to understand what she meant, and took out a money bag from his cuff and threw it to her.

Zhong Shaoyu took it, took out a string of copper coins from it, and threw it on the storyteller's table in a grand manner.

The sound of "bang" finally woke up the storyteller, he first looked around with a blank face, and when he saw the copper coins on the table, the whole person instantly became energetic, he got up, moved out a shabby bench, put it on the opposite side of the table, wiped it several times with his sleeve, and said attentively: "Please sit down." ”

When the two of them were seated, the storyteller touched and touched the broken basket under the table, found two teacups with notches, and then took a broken iron kettle, poured two cups of inferior tea into it, and asked, "Do you want to tell fortunes or do you want to listen to books?" ”

Zhong Shaoyu said: "I don't want to tell fortunes, and I don't want to listen to books." ”

The storyteller said, "Who are the two?" ”

Without waiting for Zhong Shaoyu to speak, Mr. Storyteller seemed to have guessed something, "I know, do you want to inquire about the news with me?" ”

Zhong Shaoyu was surprised: "How do you know?" ”

Mr. Storyteller: "In the past few days, I have met several waves of people who have come to inquire about me, each time it is a man and a woman, you are the third wave, the first wave looks much younger, like two children who are not yet adults, the man's temper is not very good, very impatient, he has to lift the table and beat people at every turn, but the female doll is very beautiful and soft-spoken. ”

"The second wave is this morning, and there is also a man and a woman, the man is very upright and polite, and the woman is very arrogant, disgusted that I am dirty here, it is impossible to sit down, standing far away, and covering my nose from time to time."
