Chapter 749: Reason, Reason
Chapter 753
The night in Chang'an was very deep, and Cheng Dalei and the three of them walked forward along the shore, and there was no one on the left and right, and the soles of their shoes fell on the stone slabs, making a clattering sound.
Liu Facai and Xu Shenji didn't speak, and the two noticed that Cheng Dalei's mood was not right, but they didn't know why.
I've been to Mantingfang just now, and I know that a peach won't stay there. From the man's mouth, it was learned that she lived in a low house by the river, and the three of them were rushing to that side.
I don't know whether intentionally or not, Cheng Dalei walked very slowly, and on the way there, Cheng Dalei also recalled the past when he met a peach.
At that time, a peach was the first Oiran in Chang'an City, with countless pumps. And Cheng Dalei had just fled to Chang'an City, incognito, and he didn't even dare to reveal his real name.
Originally, it was two people who couldn't hit the eight poles, but they collided together by mistake. At a temple fair in the City God Temple, a peach came to burn incense. Cheng Dalei was chased and killed by the enemy because he came out too fast, and he was desperate to hide in the City God Temple.
The two knew each other like this, and later Cheng Dalei gradually gained a firm foothold, and also helped a peach to withstand several disasters. came and went, even if they had a friendship, Cheng Dalei often went to Manting Fang to patronize, and a peach occasionally came to the dungeon he covered.
A thief and a prostitute look very different, but in fact, they are all desperate people, and they are also in some trouble.
But Da Lei couldn't figure it out, as a peach, no matter how it was, it wouldn't fall into the current field. Cheng Dalei couldn't figure out what was going on in the middle, but seeing a generation of beauties so down, Cheng Dalei was more or less unhappy.
As you continue to walk, a bunch of low houses appear by the river. Although Cheng Dalei has not been to Chang'an City for many years, he knows something about it.
Chang'an is the most prosperous place in the world, and there are countless princes and nobles. But there are also poor people in Chang'an, and this place by the river is even a slum in Chang'an City. Coolies, peddlers, and beggars gathered inside...... Most of them are desperate and incapacitated.
Even the dungeon that Cheng Dalei covered back then was not as good, there was a group of villains in the dungeon, desperate, and they were willing to take risks. But the people here don't even have the courage to take risks.
What makes Cheng Dalei feel even heavier is that there is another kind of livelihood here - secret prostitution, also known as half-open doors.
In the Empire, there was a difference between a prostitute and a prostitute. For example, Jade Sparrow is already a figure standing at the top of the food chain. There is a separate yard, there is a maid and a woman to serve, if you want to see her, in addition to spending a lot of money, you also have to have a family background to learn, and after spending money like dirt and pretending to look like a long time, the girl is willing to see her face. is also sitting and discussing, talking about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even holding hands is a non-dividing thought.
Of course, this kind of rule is only for ordinary people. Some people don't need to follow the rules by nature, like today, when Baili Sheng gave an order, the jade bird needed to be turned upside down, and naturally he didn't even dare to be dissatisfied.
There is also a type of secret prostitution, they are also lowly, but the government does not allow it. I could only half-cover the door, hang a sign at the door, and when an acquaintance Enko came, he turned the sign over.
Cheng Dalei's face was dark and gloomy, and there were some things he didn't dare to think about.
As soon as they entered the low house, a hunched man came over with a greasy smile on his face.
Cheng Dalei and the three of them are not ignorant of this man's profession. Presumably his wife and daughter were in charge of picking up customers, and he solicited business on the street.
Before he could speak, Cheng Dalei asked directly, "Ask you about someone?"
The man rubbed his palms with a smile on his face.
Cheng Dalei gestured to Liu Facai with his eyes, and Liu Facai was so disgusted that he threw him a piece of silver. The man took the silver, put it in his mouth and bit it, and his smile became brighter.
When he saw Cheng Dalei's generous move, he wanted to slaughter him fiercely. But Cheng Dalei has his own temperament of not being angry and self-assured, which is obviously not easy to mess with.
"Master, may I ask, but if you know it, you don't dare to hide it?"
Cheng Dalei paused, but he didn't know how to describe a peach. He thought for a while and said, "There is a person who works in Man Tingfang, and now she lives here, do you know where she lives?"
"Sir, you're talking about Tao Pozi, she lives in front, turn left at the second intersection, and a wooden house by the river is her place. ”
Once a peach that everyone in Chang'an wanted to pick couldn't pick, how did it become a peach woman. Cheng Dalei didn't know what kind of mood he should be in at the moment, he asked: "It is said that she was quite famous back then, why did she end up here?"
"Hey, who's to say it isn't. The master may not know that she was the top brand of Man Tingfang at the beginning, and I heard that many big people were her guests. We've heard about it, but we don't know if it's true or not. I heard that there was a big man who wanted to redeem her, but she didn't obey. People, you should know how many pounds and taels you have, no, you will offend people. How could the adults of Chang'an City be offended by us, that person forced her body, and was excluded everywhere, and was driven out by Man Tingfang in a few years. Originally, there were still people who came to see her, but in the past two years, there have been fewer and fewer people. ”
Cheng Dalei took out another ingot of silver and said, "Lao Jia, which big man, tell me the name, I can't say that I have heard of it." ”
The man shook his head: "I don't know the little one, it's been a long time ago, and I don't know the big people and the little ones." Master, you don't think the little one is talking about it. ”
Cheng Dalei shook his shoulders, and suddenly laughed: "Reason, reason." ”
The man received two pieces of silver one after another, and became more and more happy, and said: "Master, there is a treasure here in the little one, which comes from the grassland, and only one grain can make you strong." ”
Cheng Dalei was stunned: "Are you selling medicine?"
"yes. The man is also a line: "Selling medicine Lang Pisan, no one knows here, no one knows, make sure the goods are genuine." ”
Cheng Dalei was silent, and Xu Shenji and Liu Facai's expressions were also embarrassed. Cheng Dalei let out a sigh of relief, but he had a preconceived idea.
"I'm sorry. Cheng Dalei took out another ingot of silver: "Thank you." ”
The man came back to his senses, and Cheng Dalei had already walked forward. The man suddenly said to his back: "Master, you are also a former guest of Tao Pozi, the little one can see that you are a righteous person, and you can help her if you can." ”
Cheng Dalei didn't look back, and continued to walk forward: "I'm not her guest, she's my sister-in-law." ”
"Sister?" The man was even more confused, looking at his age, Cheng Dalei was much younger than Tao Pozi.
Cheng Dalei walked forward step by step, somewhat comforted in his heart. There are many temperamental people in the wind and dust, and they must not be prejudiced, and they have peeped at the old people, and they have also chilled the hearts of the old people.
