Chapter 58: A Cave Ghost
Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Cave Ghost!
Every morning, the sun rises from the east, the bells and drums of the bell and drum tower will ring as promised, and the gates of the imperial city are opened on time when the sun shines on the spire of Kaifeng.
And a new day for the Song people naturally began.
There are a lot of people on Xiaohua's wonton stall, because Xiaohua doesn't know how to count, and will always give diners one or two more wontons, plus she is very good at cooking wontons now, so those diners who take advantage of it will be satisfied with the wontons and leave with a smile.
No matter how hard Sister-in-law Gu tries to attract customers, there will always be only a few sparse people in his stall, as long as it is a local people, basically no one will go to her stall to eat.
The fox who held a grudge was about to go to Gu's sister-in-law's stall again to clear his stomach, but he was caught by Tie Xinyuan and turned into a small alley.
Mother is right, everyone has to eat, there is no need to smash other people's jobs for a moment, the most mean punishment in the world is to deprive a person of their means of livelihood.
Turning the corner, Tie Xinyuan came to Yu Qilang Tea House.
Yu Qilang's tea shop actually doesn't sell tea, they are a main store, which means that Yu Qilang is a shop with its own brewing rights.
There aren't many such shops in Tokyo, but each one is famous, but there are exceptions, and the famous Fan Lou is a foot shop.
Yang Huaiyu was already sitting in the store, ignoring the courtesy of his men, and looked with interest at the group of kabuki crowded under the corridor.
Those kabuki were either holding the pipa, or holding the huqin, and some were holding a flute or Changxiao dancing in their hands, and when they saw Yang Huaiyu looking at them, they suddenly threw their eyes around, even if they were reserved, they pretended to be shy.
These girls are different from the women in the green building, and it is their foundation to sell their art and not their bodies, and they have been invited by their families to teach various skills since they were young, in order to earn gold and silver to help their families make a fortune when they become adults.
The little lady of the Lu Ti Shi Gang is this kind of person, and the poor town of Guanxi was beaten to death by a reckless man without knowing anything.
"Why don't I pretend to be a bully, rob a kabuki, and then you come out and fight unevenly, and maybe you can hug a beautiful woman in the end."
Yang Huaiyu glanced at Tie Xinyuan's thin body with disdain, pointed to the girls under the corridor and said, "Which one can you hold?" ”
"Don't you want me to have two minions?"
Yang Huaiyu sighed and said: "Forget it, it's still good to listen to the song, it's not a matter to snatch it home, and you will be killed if you are not careful."
There are many more women than men in the backyard of the Yang family, and few of them are dying. ”
Tie Xinyuan suddenly became interested, and leaned forward to Yang Huaiyu and said, "So, have you robbed it before?" The girls here can be grabbed casually? ”
Yang Huaiyu's cheeks twitched and said, "Hear clearly, I can rob it, if you can't, you won't be able to pass Bao Zheng's level." ”
"You snatched Bao Zheng and didn't care? Sure enough, it's the officials who protect each other. ”
"Bullshit, look at those girls, which one of them isn't stretching his neck and waiting for me to grab it? If I rushed over, the women would grab me, and they would cry and scream to outsiders, and then I wouldn't be able to shake them off. ”
Tie Xinyuan nodded, women love rich and beautiful men in ancient and modern times, there is nothing incomprehensible about this.
He grabbed a handful of roasted crispy beans from the plate in front of Yang Huaiyu, pointed to the teahouse and asked, "Why can't this teahouse see tea?" And you're drinking, what? Bait and switch? ”
"You know a fart, who told you that the tea shop has to sell tea?
Seriously, the person you're looking for is in front of the teahouse, which is called a cave ghost, and Tokyo's city fox society rats will basically gather there in the afternoon, so you can ask where you want the news. ”
Tie Xinyuan looked at Yang Huaiyu in surprise and said, "You really look up to me, don't you think it's too much for a little child to rush into a ghost tea shop?" I'm afraid that before I finish speaking, I will be picked up and taken away by a certain guy and sold to human traffickers. ”
", who's going to sell you? Selling pigs won't sell you! ”
Tie Xinyuan automatically ignored Yang Huaiyu's foul language, and took him by the hand to leave the teahouse full of fine wine and beauties.
Mother's worries are naturally the biggest thing in the world, if you can't figure things out, your mother is likely to be driven crazy by this invisible pressure and speculation, if you can't help but go to the palace to make it clear, I'm afraid that those bigwigs of the Wang family will have other questions.
Living in the city of Tokyo in the Great Song Dynasty, Tie Xinyuan didn't feel any inconvenience, except that there were no modern things, there were people in Tokyo who did everything.
For example, come to a place like a cave ghost to buy news.
Dart bureau and anxious foot express are veterans of this line, when the grandfather was in the line of urgent foot express, the legend of thousands of miles to send Beijing Niang does not know if it is true, anyway, the storyteller in the tile city told this story vividly, the image of Taizu is completely engraved in the hearts of the people.
In the Great Song Dynasty, even women can mail it, which is much stronger than what couriers in later generations.
"The person I contacted you is an old dog, this person is from a fast family, and later was dismissed by the official family because of lameness, he is not willing to be lonely, he wants to take advantage of his body to move, and intends to make more money to support the elderly, and your things are left to him to do, it is best."
Yang Huaiyu explained to Tie Xinyuan as he walked.
"I don't have any money......"
"Brute!"
After Yang Huaiyu cursed, he stepped into a cave ghost tea shop first.
There is no black smoke miasma as Tie Xinyuan imagined, the environment here is quiet and scary, the guy stands on the edge of the counter like a clay carving and wood sculpture, and does not ask the guests what they want to drink, directly two large bowls of turquoise tea soup with an unknown taste on the table in front of Yang Huaiyu and Tie Xinyuan.
The store is very intimate, not only in the room to light a fire pit but also to separate the Nuoda teahouse, through the bamboo curtain can vaguely see the sneaky figures outside, not long after, Tie Xinyuan saw seven or eight men with a curtain separation, one of them is even more exaggerated, the whole body is wrapped in a red big fuss, even the figure can not be seen clearly.
A swarthy man opened the curtain and walked in, and when he saw Tie Xinyuan looking at him carefully, he said in a hoarse voice: "Don't look at it, don't look at it, everything is over, and there will be no collusion." ”
Yang Huaiyu pointed at Tie Xinyuan and walked out of the cubicle, it seemed that this guy was very familiar with the people here, and he was very happy to talk to those guys with dead faces on the counter.
When the old dog saw that the principal was a child, he did not show a strange look, and it seemed that he had experienced an even more strange employer.
After he told the old dog the name and address of the Chinese man, the old dog just glanced at it, threw the piece of paper into the fire, and then said to Tie Xinyuan: "I know Chen Zhong, a Chinese person in the Xishuimen area, he is doing miscellaneous work, and he accepts all kinds of commissions, and the people he sees are very miscellaneous.
Since you asked me to check on Chen Zhong, it means that something happened to the guest he introduced when he was a guarantor for you.
What do you want me to look up? ”
Tie Xinyuan smiled: "It's very simple, I want a list of all the people he has been in contact with in the past three days." ”
"It's not easy! People are not objects, they can run around, especially a person who comes into contact with a large number of people every day, are you sure you want a list of all of them? ”
Tie Xinyuan smiled: "The list of everyone, you don't have to help me choose, I will judge for myself." ”
The old dog gave Tie Xinyuan a grim smile and said, "It seems that you already have a suspicious character, but you just want me to determine if this person did something." ”
Tie Xinyuan took a sip of the extremely unpalatable tea soup and grinned, "What is the price of killing?" ”
The old dog smiled, showed his mouth full of yellow teeth, tapped his fingers on the table, and said, "The old man doesn't kill people, if you want to kill people, I have a good person to introduce to you." ”
Tie Xinyuan clicked his mouth and said, "Let's figure things out for me first, and I'll talk about the murder later." ”
"Two money! Pay after the fact. ”
Tie Xinyuan threw out Yang Huaiyu's money bag and said, "Take it yourself." ”
The old dog took out two ingots of silver from the bag, put them in his arms, and said to Tie Xinyuan when he went out: "Tomorrow at noon, we will meet here." ”
Tie Xinyuan nodded, the old dog got up and left the compartment, through the bamboo curtain he saw that the old dog took out a piece of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper, and then dragged the lame leg and merged into the bustling crowd outside step by step.
"I always think this person is not very reliable."
Tie Xinyuan complained when he saw Yang Huaiyu walk in.
"Of course, there is no one in this world who can be completely relied upon, but as far as things are concerned, the old dog's sign is very hard, and nothing has gone wrong.
If the old dog wants to donate money and abscond, someone will take his life, there are not a few people in Tokyo who make a living by this means, if there is a person who goes wrong, the bad is the whole industry, he will become a lost dog that everyone shouts and beats, therefore, unless the old dog dies, he will definitely do your thing honestly. ”
Tie Xinyuan laughed silently, this is the underground rules, such rules are more stringent than the rules of the law in many cases, some people have the courage to challenge the law, but they do not have the courage to challenge the underground rules.
"If you have any questions, just tell me, and you will definitely help if you can." Yang Huaiyu suddenly came out of his mouth with such a sentence.
Tie Xinyuan looked at Yang Huaiyu and said: "I'll never knock out my teeth and swallow them in my stomach, if I don't have teeth, I will only open my mouth to tell you and help me knock out my opponent's teeth." ”
"Good!"
Yang Huaiyu left first with his hands behind his back, he walked very fast, and Tie Xinyuan needed to jog to catch up with him.
