"Brother, how much did that scene cost last night?"
Early the next morning, when there was a slight movement outside, Qin Bao stood up and alerted Zhang Xing, who was lying down with him. As soon as Zhang Xing came up, he alerted the door again. Someone immediately asked if he wanted something early, and then brought breakfast. Pickles, porridge, and a pot of warm tea... Zhang Xing has always been curious, so he couldn't help but ask a few more questions when he came to eat shirtless.
"Officials don't dare not answer questions. My little family knows that a banquet for thirty people costs sixty guan. There are three levels of banquets. Last night was the highest one, which cost 30 guan. Special banquets cost 30 guan. Counting the drinks, I don’t know the details. I just think it costs about thirty guan. The dance music is my own, which only costs 10 guan... As for last night’s rest and today’s morning tea, they are all included.” I was used to the scene, so I immediately stopped and waited for a while, speaking politely and clearly.
"I know, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Xing understood and nodded slightly.
"I don't dare to say it's hard work." When the boy heard this, his tone was better, and he also withdrew.
"If you think about it this way, wouldn't it cost you two good horses last night?" As soon as the people left, Qin Bao, who was sitting over shirtless, couldn't help but start making calculations. "Does Xiao Lin know that he can earn 600 horses in one year?"
"It would be great to have one or two of these thirty major events every ten days. Otherwise, do you want Xiao Lin to be tired to death?"
Zhang Xing, who was drinking porridge, suppressed the urge to complain about the other party's measurement units and reluctantly explained while holding the porridge and stepping on a stool.
"As for these two horses, not everyone knows about them... First of all, we have to throw away the cost of the banquet for the two horse legs; An Erniang has to pay for the rent here, and it is estimated that there are also two horse legs; the remaining four legs , they are also distributed all over the yard, from top to bottom, not only the people floating in front of us, but also the cooks, security guards, cleaners... I think Xiao Lin knows that he can get a half horse with its legs facing up, twenty strings."
"Xiao Lin knows how high the stakes are. He can earn one and a half horse legs in one night... It's still a lot, but it doesn't sound so scary." Qin Bao nodded repeatedly, but then shook his head. "It's just that Erniang An is nothing. She wants to take away two horse legs for nothing just because of her house!"
"what are you thinking?"
Zhang Xing was completely speechless, but he drank a whole bowl of porridge in one go, and then continued to give instructions.
"Do you think Erniang An can take away two horse legs and put them in her own stable? She also wants to share them, but she wants to share them outside... Normal taxes are one thing, and local street tigers and gangs Boss, I'm afraid everyone will share the benefits, even the Qingdi Temple in the middle of the square, I guess he has to pay filial piety every day... But on the other hand, An Erniang is probably a capable person, and everyone knows that Lin and Xiaolin are also some top-notch people. People with connections are not too oppressed. The less privileged ones in this shop all know that they have probably been eaten up by these local gangsters and gang bosses, Dalian people, with money, and sold their bodies across the street. Not to mention the girl."
Qin Bao's face turned pale and blue for a while. He didn't say anything for a long time and didn't touch the porridge.
Having said this, Zhang Xing wiped his mouth early and returned to the couch to start arranging his clothes. Seeing this, he still did not change his habit of being in charge of politics and continued to talk:
"After all, do you, Qin Erlang, think that girls from good families all voluntarily enter this Wenwenfang, and they aspire to be famous since they were young? Or do you think that all the women in this world are as powerful as our patrol inspector, who speaks out in a loud voice? , Sima Erlong also has to retreat?"
"Then I won't come to Wenwenfang anymore!"
The shirtless Qin Bao didn't even drink a mouthful of porridge.
"No." Zhang Xing hurriedly tried to persuade him while putting on his socks. "The Biography of the Heroine Li Yue quoted a sentence from Qingdi's Taixuan Sutra, which is quite interesting... It says that everything must have a beginning... that is to say, everything must be investigated at its root, rather than thinking about quitting. Instead of Wenwenfang, it is better to enforce the law impartially when doing business, so that there will be less cases of prostitution in this world."
Qin Bao nodded heavily, lowered his head and drank two mouthfuls of porridge, then stood up to get dressed. It seemed that he had some ideas after all.
However, when he stood up, he seemed to realize something, and he solemnly bowed his hand to Zhang Xing, who was already dressed: "Thank you, Third Brother, for your teaching."
Zhang Xingben realized that he was talking too much, and then he realized that it was him who was the third brother, so he quickly waved his hand: "It's all nonsense. Just stand upright and have your own ideas. Don't take it too seriously."
Qin Bao's face turned red, he nodded, and went to put on his clothes. After a while, he dressed neatly and followed Zhang Xing to the side courtyard where the sky was just bright. However, he was shocked to find that except for some servant activities, there were so many people in the same row last night. , only two of them got up early. But since they got up, it was hard to go back to sleep, so they held each other's legs and feet and moved their muscles a little.
At this scene, Qin Bao couldn't hold back again: "Brother Zhang..."
"you say."
"You are not an ordinary vanguard, are you?"
"Why do you ask?" Zhang Xing wasn't too surprised. That's just the way he was. He didn't think much about it when he went surfing last night, but now he regrets it.
"How else could Third Brother know so much?" Qin Bao, who was helping to press his legs, asked seriously. "I see you in front of us now, just like I was in front of my friends in the village back then...I'm not boasting, but I really feel that Third Brother is someone who has something to say."
"What's the explanation?" Zhang Xing continued to ask.
"Does Third Brother have an undisclosed life experience?" Qin Bao asked sincerely in a low voice. "It's like my family has several generations of officials from the Eastern Qi Dynasty. Yours is from a more powerful background, and it's even harder to tell."
"No." Zhang Xing became confused when he heard this. "Why do you ask?"
"Look at our inspection, and Sima Erlong who I heard about yesterday." Qin Bao sighed. "And our Zhongcheng...aren't these powerful people all noble?"
Zhang Xing was speechless when he heard this: "What are you talking about? You are so confused... I will only give you one example, and you will know that you are wrong more than anything."
Qin Bao immediately pricked up his ears.
"Did you tell me that there is a cattle supervisor from Fuyang in Beiya? He is also a noble breed?" Zhang Xing looked at the other party jokingly.
Qin Bao immediately hit his forehead with his hand.
"Of course it's easy for a noble family to produce experts and well-educated people. That's because they don't have to worry about food and clothing when they are born, so they can practice and study without worry."
Seeing this, Zhang Xing took the opportunity to stand up and continued to sneer and ridicule, basically showing a cynical attitude.
"When you encounter someone who doesn't understand, you can find a famous teacher to help you. With your overwhelming power, you don't have to be wronged like others. If you have endless money, you don't have to worry about a few pennies like others. Depressed and unhappy... The simplest example is that if a farmer has more than ten acres of land and gives birth to a son on the 12th day of the twelfth year, he can certainly build a foundation in a hundred days, but he can also work in the fields. He will spend a hundred days on raising food in vain, and he will have to spend a hundred days every day in the future. After practicing Wu Chongmai until the body is in their twenties and thirties, 90% of the people have given up the idea of practicing. As for the children of wealthy families, almost everyone takes foundation building as a matter of course... This example is not what you told me that day. Is that so? How come you have reached a higher level, and for the same reason, you become demented again?"
"Yes." Qin Bao was completely relieved. "I'm overthinking it. The children of those high-ranking families are strong and powerful, but we shouldn't belittle ourselves."
Zhang Xing nodded, and then poured some more chicken soup to facilitate the growth of seedlings.
However, at this time, under the dark and midwinter morning, a man suddenly walked over without embarrassment, holding his arms to see the two of them beating their muscles, forcing Zhang Xing and Qin Bao to shut up. .
"Are you that Zhang Sanlang?" After looking at it for a long time, the man came to ask.
"It's me, what do you call me, brother? What's the matter?" Zhang Xing saw the other party's gesture a long time ago, and became wary, so he immediately retreated.
"It's nothing. I'm from Fusi Fulongwei in Taixi Town, Jing'an. My name is Wang Zhen. I heard my Sima Changjian shout about Zhang Sanlang, Wenhua Tiancheng last night, so I came here to have a look... I didn't expect that he was just a man of the right kind. The cultivation of the body was also shocked." The man hugged and sneered.
Zhang Xing and Qin Bao looked at each other, obviously feeling that this man was boring and more childish than Li Qingchen.
After a long while, Zhang Xing nodded: "That's right, only five of the main meridians are connected, which makes Brother Wang laugh."
Seeing that these two people were not ashamed, Wang Zhen also felt bored, but he was unwilling to leave just now. He felt shy for a long time, suddenly remembered something, and finally asked again with a smile:
"Did Zhang Sanlang just say that it's not a big deal if you are rich? Doesn't this mean you look down on my Sima Changjian?"
This is stirring up trouble.
Qin Bao immediately frowned and wanted to defend himself.
Zhang Xing was the only one who found it boring, but his reaction was particularly straightforward. He turned around and shouted loudly towards the main building behind him:
"Inspection! Sima Erlang's Fulong Guards came to stir up trouble! There is a man named Wang Zhen, saying that your wine is not good, and no one wants twenty-five or six!"
As soon as he said this, all the lights in the courtyard from the guest room to other places in the building were turned on almost instantly, and the noises and curses were non-stop.
The Fulongwei named Wang Zhen was stunned for a moment. He didn't even dare to return to the house and ran straight into the workshop.
Wang Zhen ran away, but he couldn't outrun the Taoist priests and the Supreme Statue. Dozens of Jinyi patrolmen and seven or eight Fulong guards were awakened and started making noise in the courtyard, which then developed into a group fight.
In fact, if they really fight and use their true energy, the obviously more elite people like Fulongwei will definitely win by half, but isn't this because both Bai Xinjian and Sima Changjian are here? Moreover, it was getting daylight, and Inspector Bai was still drinking porridge at the window on the third floor, watching the battle in person with a joking expression on his face.
What's even worse is that Fulongwei's Wang Zhen ran away knowing that he was wronged, and Sima Erlang couldn't find anyone to lay his head on even if he wanted to put things to rest.
In the end, it was the masters of Fulongwei who escaped in embarrassment.
A farce, not worth mentioning.
However, the weather was sultry and the clouds were low. Everyone had sweated in the morning and was feeling bored, so they threw the red rope on the spot and dispersed, agreeing to go back and change clothes before heading to the island to wait for orders.
Zhang Xingle saw this kind of pretentiousness, so he went back to Chengfufang with Qin Bao. He took the other party to take a closer look at the yard, and agreed to share it in a branch. Then he put on his brocade clothes, stepped on the embroidered scimitar, and didn't panic. Don't rush to the island.
When we arrived on the island, dark clouds came over the city, and it immediately started to rain again. It was said that there was some kind of mission to Ouchi, but it was canceled directly, and everyone continued to look at the sky and fish for fish.
However, at this time, on his first day of employment, Zhang Xing had already noticed that the Jinyi Patrol was on the higher end compared to the Jingjiehu... They were all fishing, and the Jingjiehu people only talked about street gossip in the wine shop. Discussing market prices and talking about ways to get rich; while Jinyi is patrolling here, it turns out that so and so has been promoted somewhere, a certain family has married somewhere, and even the lowest gossip can involve the palace and the ministers.
From morning to afternoon, it was another pleasant day. Zhang Xing was also full of encouragement. He just regretted that he forgot to bring a book to read. Otherwise, wouldn't it be wonderful to listen to political gossip and read historical novels?
The rain was pouring, and the copper bowl for cleaning the streets finally sounded weakly. Everyone began to disperse. Zhang Xing only wanted to bring books with him from tomorrow... However, when the knights in brocade were about to leave the island, suddenly a knight braved the rain to go to the island. Come.
When they came to the bridge, the horse slipped under its feet and rolled directly off the horse. It was in a miserable state, but it turned out to be the clothes of the Criminal Department.
Many of the people who were originally going to respond just watched with cold eyes, and no one paid attention.
But the next moment, the knight of the Ministry of Justice, whose leg was obviously injured, shouted something in the mud that made everyone's scalp numb: "The prison of the Ministry of Justice has been robbed! Hundreds of fugitives have escaped! My servant is looking for me. Zhongcheng sends troops! Take me there quickly!"
So fast? Zhang Xing couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
PS: Happy Christmas Eve everyone
