The entrance of the nullah is relatively wide, and it looks like one of the largest eight-character water mouths in Tokyo. Zhao Tong has seen this kind of water outlet near the Imperial City. He thought it must be an important and prosperous area, so it was built on the scale in front of him, but no one near the Imperial City dared to build it. Just get close.
Without bowing too much, a few people walked in and saw two people standing behind the iron door. They were both dressed in short skirts and green beards. They wore close-fitting cloth clothes with green beards and a red belt around their waists. They stood at their feet. He akimbo looked at a few people.
He added: "Dear guests, just go forward and someone will attend to you."
Zhu Xiaoyi was familiar with him, so he just ignored him and led the way.
Zhao Tong looked around and saw that there was a deep groove on the ground inside the canal, which was a waterway. It was the same as the blood groove of the sword, and he couldn't help but admire it secretly.
The canal walls on both sides were lined with bluestones, which were smooth and moss-covered. Every few feet there was a lamppost, in which oil lamps were lit. The oil lamps did not burn vegetable oil. The smoke was strong and smelly, but it was very bright.
Ouyang Bei muttered: "It's so choking, but I don't know how much bird fat it burns."
Behind him, Ding Daxie said faintly: "It's the oil that covers people's corpses."
Ouyang Beidao said: "The earth crab really knows a lot." Then he stopped talking.
It is not narrow at first, but has become accessible to others. After repeating dozens of steps, I became more and more cheerful.
After turning a corner, a person appeared in front of him, but he was holding a red lantern in his hand. The lantern was festive, depicting a picture of a lady, white and plump, with shadowy figures.
"Dear guest, please come with me."
The figure did not turn back to meet him, and walked forward after finishing his speech.
After a while, there were three forks in the ditch ahead. Each intersection was guarded by someone with a red belt wrapped around their forehead, holding a ghost king hook in their hands, and looking ferocious.
One intersection is the main road, and the noise can be heard faintly, while the other two are similar to what everyone else is walking, in order to enter the ditch.
Walking onto the main road, suddenly someone came from another channel and spoke loudly, causing everyone to turn around and watch.
There were four people there. In addition to the one who carried the lantern to lead the way, there were three more. The first one was wearing a large crimson collar, a brocade belt, and thin-soled fast boots. He had a dark and fat face, a slight beard, and spoke with a Kaifeng accent.
The other one is not too old, but has peach blossom eyes. He was born in a rough manner. He wears a tassel hat, a gold exquisite hairpin, a golden jade railing ring, a long waist, wearing a green ruffled dress, and shaking a Jinchuan fan in his hand. Son.
The last person was dressed as a book boy, wearing a blue coat and a small hat. He had soft limbs and a handsome face. He carried a small yellow rosewood box on his back and looked around. From time to time, he grabbed the clothes of the young man in front of him.
But I heard the fat black man with a slight beard at the front say: "The officials want to find the rouge horse, but it's hard to find it anywhere else. Even if you walk all over the city of Tokyo, you may not be able to find it. Only the Happy Cave in Guifan Tower can do it." There is such a trick."
The young master bowed and said, "I'm sorry for bothering my brother Zhai. I'll thank you in the future."
The fat black man laughed and said, "In the future, I'll just take it with you and thank you."
The young master's eyes flashed and the corners of his mouth moved slightly, with a hint of evil charm. He smiled and said: "That's natural, but tonight's trick should not be included in the thank you."
The fat black man nodded and put his hands behind his back. Although he was walking slowly, he still saw everyone.
Ouyang Bei whispered: "This guy with oily hair and pink face has a foreign accent."
Huang Gu said: "You understand again. I think you should change your nickname. Instead of calling it that gust of wind, you can call it know-it-all!"
Ouyang Beidao: "This is just looking down upon me. The fat black guy sounds like old Tokyo, and the fat guy with the fat face has an accent from Shandong. It sounds like he is from the Yanggu Qinghe area."
"Where?" Zhao Tong suddenly asked.
"Sir, I said that guy has an accent from the Yanggu Qinghe area."
"Oh..." Zhao Tong looked at the young master after hearing this, then turned around and didn't speak again, but just walked forward.
When the people behind saw them, they also shut up. After a long while, the fat black man said in a low voice: "Guardian, please remember, don't mess around with others. You are here to have fun at home, not to make friends and have fun." .”
Young Master said: "Of course it's not necessary. I'm just afraid that I'll get drunk and forget about it. I thought I was at my hometown in Yanggu."
The fat black man said coldly: "Then don't drink wine. Don't forget where this is. If you pull out someone's head at random, it's unlikely that they all have the background of the Duke."
The young master wondered: "It's like this on the ground. Isn't this underground where Green Forest is on the run? How come you are here when you have such noble people backing you?"
The fat black man's expression was distorted, and his seemingly innocent face turned out to be very ferocious, and he said, "Then why are you and me here? Didn't you come to the capital to find someone to support you? Why did you come to Guifan Tower!"
The young master hurriedly apologized: "It's just a villain who thinks wrong. It turns out that I also have someone to support me!"
The fat black man said: "That's natural. Not only do you have a backer, but this backer is as big as the sky. Why don't you come down to Guifanlou to play!"
Young Master said: "That's right. I have a backer, but I'm also very afraid. I just don't mess with others and just play my own game."
After that, he stretched out his hand to knock down the corner of the book boy's clothes behind him, and reprimanded: "Zhang Song, you are so petty, you are not as smart as Daian. If you come in for a while, you must not lose my dignity as an official."
The little book boy was handsome and shy, but when he heard the word "Dai'an", his expression changed drastically and he said, "Don't mention him, officials."
The young master's expression suddenly turned cloudy, and he asked angrily: "Is it possible that you two can't hook up in some way?"
The little book boy lowered his head and said nothing. The fat black man in front of him said: "Stop making noise and walk faster. Don't obstruct your selection when it's late. If you're late, the good stuff will be picked up by others!"
The young master said hurriedly: "Brother Zhai, what do you mean by being picky?"
The fat black man said: "We'll find out when we get there, don't ask again."
Zhao Tong and others had already reached the head of the canal. They saw a sudden opening in front of them, but it was not the original project. The two sides of the road formed a ring, and a deep and wide water tank was dug in, but it bypassed the direction directly ahead.
Directly in front of you is a sunken basin like a small basin. You can see that the lights are bright inside, the aroma of wine and meat is fragrant, mixed with the smell of rouge and gouache, and the underground moisture is pouring in, making people feel like they are... An unreal feeling.
"Dear guests!" said the person who carried the lantern to guide the way: "The water outlet above is closed at night. Once you go down to have fun, you will not be able to leave tonight. You will have to wait until tomorrow evening to return."
Zhu Xiaoyi said: "Don't worry, this is not my first time."
The man was not annoyed when he heard this, and said: "Dear guests, if there is anything that needs to be covered up, it will be covered with a veil during the selection and cannot be recognized under the light."
Zhu Xiaoyi asked: "Are there many fish tonight?"
The man who carried the lantern replied: "You will know by looking at it." After that, he walked away.
Zhu Xiaoyi turned around and said to everyone: "The fish refers to Xiao Niang. Because this underground ditch has water flowing from time to time, it got such a perfect name."
Ouyang Bei said in a low voice: "What I hate most in my life is forcing girls to be prostitutes! Everyone deserves to be killed!"
At this time, a person came to meet him, but he was not dressed in Confucian style. He was wearing a parrot green robe. His forehead was bare and he had no scar. He bowed and said: "You distinguished guests have come at the right time. Please come and take a seat quickly." , don’t hold back at this time and the selection will begin immediately.”
