Chapter 169: Meeting a little beggar
"Master Song, are you really going to a prostitute to buy sex?" Lin Yue was worried all the way.
"Aren't you afraid that your wife will find out and divorce you? You are a live-in son-in-law." Song Che said with a smile: "My wife is far away in Suzhou, how could she know?" Lin Yue said, "But it's a prostitute. She has always been dirty, and as long as she has money, a beggar can sleep on her bed. Have you ever thought about what if you come back with the disease and infect her?"
"Alas! What should we do?" Song Che sighed: "It's been more than a month since I left Suzhou. I often sleep alone, feeling empty, lonely and cold inside!"
"I saw you eating well and sleeping well all day long."
"You are not a man, of course you don't understand. You can take care of the older ones, but you can't take care of the younger ones."
"Then... Then you go to Nangong Yue. You gave her freedom. She should serve you for your second love, both emotionally and rationally." Lin Yue's eyes actually showed some seriousness.
Song Che held his chin and looked straight at the jade-faced little servant in front of him. Perhaps the eyes were too naked, so she had no choice but to avoid them for a while and muttered: "I will only accompany you in romance, but I won't accompany you in all the ups and downs."
"Hehehe..." Song Che shook his head and laughed.
"Why are you laughing? I'm serious. There is no such thing as free prostitution. No matter what, you have to be granted a status before you can take off your clothes!" She stared, really serious.
Song Che laughed even louder and the horse drove faster. This problem will come naturally, there is no need to force it, there is no need to force it.
Changle Street in the east of the city, Yong'an Street in the south of the city, and Heyang Street in the west of the city. Taken together, there are a total of 1,780 shops, restaurants, gambling houses, and brothels, all run by the Jia family, and the rest of the shops are for lease.
Since they were searching for evidence of crime, they couldn't be too blatant. As a guest, Song Che visited all the places where the Jia family had food, drink, whoring and gambling.
It's not surprising to say that it's unexpected. Since it was a shop that dared to hang a plaque, it was a serious business that was not afraid of investigation. Even if Song Che wanted to find fault with the eggs, he could not find a suitable reason.
The companies used to launder money are all pretty. The underworld bosses all wear suits and ties. A sin that can be seen clearly is not a sin.
The Jia family's sins must be hidden deeply, and opportunities are needed to discover them.
"When you go to a restaurant, you order a table of food and only eat two bites and then stop. When you go to a gambling house, you only gamble a few times, but when your luck is strong, you stop gambling. When you go to a brothel, the girl's buttocks are gone. Touch it and you will go to the next one... Mr. Song, what are you doing out here tonight?" When I came out of the Changle Street Gambling House, the night was already dark, and there were only two or three pedestrians, and the street was deserted.
The cool breeze in late autumn is quite chilly. Song Che smiled and said: "At least I'm not here to buy a romantic relationship, right?" Lin Yue rubbed her withered belly and complained: "Then you can at least let me eat two bites of food, or if not, drink two glasses of flower wine. I ran from the east of the city to the west of the city all night, and my stomach was already croaking with hunger."
"When I came to the gambling house just now, I remembered that there was a roadside noodle stall just outside the street. It should not have closed yet," Song Che greeted with a smile: "Come on, young master will be the host tonight, and I'll feed you some!"
"You don't eat the delicacies in the restaurant, but you have to go to the roadside stall to eat noodles. What kind of weirdo are you..." Lin Yue curled her lips and followed.
At the outer street of Changle, under a lantern, there are three or two tables and a small cart, steaming. The stall owner is a middle-aged man. He is sitting behind the cart, waiting boredly for customers to come.
In front of the noodle stall squatted a little beggar with ragged clothes and disheveled hair. He covered his stomach with his hands, looked directly at the stall owner, and swallowed again and again.
"Boss, two bowls of Yangchun noodles, don't be spicy, add more vinegar; cut half a catty of beef, and have two plates of side dishes." Song Che and Lin Yue walked into the noodle stall and took their seats.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment!" When the stall owner saw business coming to his door, he hurriedly lit a fire. He cut half a catty of braised beef, put two plates of side dishes on it, and brought it to the table: "You two guests, eat first, the Yangchun noodles will be ready soon." Song Che took out two pairs of chopsticks and handed one pair to Lin Yue, I stamped my feet and planned to eat.
Lin Yue suddenly reminded him: "Hey, look at him." The little beggar squatting in front of the noodle stall was tilting his head longing for the beef on their table.
It was too dark, and he huddled up in a ball again, squatting in a place where the backlight could not see him. If it weren't for his big watery eyes, Song Che would really not be able to see him.
Song Che couldn't help but frown. Why were there beggars in such a prosperous city? You are lucky to have met Mr. Song today.
Just when Song Che wanted to greet the little beggar, the stall owner stuck his head out and chased him away: "Little beggar, why are you still squatting? Get out of here quickly, don't dirty the guest's eyes!" The little beggar hugged his knees and went Then he took two steps.
"Hey! Didn't you hear me tell you to get out? There's nothing for you to eat here!" The stall owner scooped up a ladle of hot water and poured it next to the little beggar.
"If you don't get out, the next ladle will be poured on you!" The scalding hot water splashed on the little beggar, causing her to sit on the ground and crawl out while yelling hoarsely: "Uncle... I have to leave, my legs are numb...I'll leave right away..."
"Pa!" Lin Yue slammed the table and stood up, causing the side dishes to fly. She shouted at the stall owner: "What's wrong with you! What's wrong with giving someone a bite of noodles!" The stall owner was He was too frightened to move, with a bitter look on his face: "Sir, this is a small business..."
"Then you don't need to pour hot water on him! He is only a half-grown child!"
"No... Sir, you don't know anything. This little beggar has been squatting in front of my stall all night. I originally tried to persuade him to leave with good intentions, but he just refused to leave. You said he is such a dirty guy? Here, how can the guests eat noodles after seeing this!"
"Why do you speak so harshly——"
"Okay, okay." Song Che grabbed Lin Yue. If this chivalrous and righteous temper got worse, he would have to turn his face away.
He took a piece of silver, threw it to the stall owner, and asked intentionally: "No one in this world is born dirty. On the contrary, this silver that has been touched thousands of times is extremely dirty. Now I use After using this dirty money to buy noodles for this young man, do you still think he is dirty?" After the stall owner got the money, he wiped it on his clothes, bared his teeth and said with a smile: "It's not dirty anymore, it's not dirty anymore... Lin Yue walked over and picked up the little beggar, pulled him to the table and sat down. He looked greasy and dirty, but he was about thirteen or fourteen years old.
"A child of his age must have been sold as a servant by his parents. He didn't find a good master, so he ran away on his own."
"I don't think so." No matter how poor a servant is, he should have enough to eat, so why should he be living in the street as a beggar?
Song Che handed the chopsticks to the little beggar, pushed the side dishes in front of him, and said with a smile: "The world is so big, filling your stomach is the best thing, right?" The little beggar grabbed the chopsticks, put the plate sideways and put it into his mouth. !
