Daily Life In Qin Dynasty Chapter 57

  Chapter 57 [Feixue Pavilion]

   Late at night.

  Although Yingdu is the old capital of Chu State, it is obviously not comparable to the capitals of Xianyang and Xinzheng in terms of prosperity.

   As night fell, the entire Yingdu quickly turned into a silent and dark city, only a few places still kept brightly lit.

   Once these places get close, without exception, there will be bursts of chatter from inside.

   It seems that every bustling capital Mo Jun passes by cannot lack these places. But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be surprising, after all, this is the oldest profession in the world.

   Yulu Building.

   This place was originally the largest restaurant in Yingdu.

  In the past, after nightfall, the business of Yulu Tower was not bad, but compared with other 'happy places', it was obviously far inferior.

  However, tonight, the Yulu Building was overcrowded, almost robbing the other brightly lit places of business.

   And the reason is very simple.

  In this world, the place where a man must go if he can give up a gentle township is naturally another and better gentle township.

Tonight's Yulu Tower is reserved for a performance by a gentle township that enjoys a reputation in the seven countries - [Feixue Pavilion]. All the rich merchants gathered here admiringly.

  【Feixue Pavilion】The top dancer is named "Snow Girl".

  Born in the country of Zhao.

  The so-called 'Yan Ge Zhao Wu', Zhao country's dancing skills are the best among the seven countries, but the dancing skills of this snow girl are second to none even in Zhao country.

Not only that.

  The appearance of Xuenv herself is also stunning.

   It is rumored that in the territory of Zhao State, I don't know how many noble and wealthy merchants spend a lot of money in [Feixue Pavilion], just to see the true face of Xuenv.

  In Yulu Tower tonight, before the performance of [Feixue Pavilion] started, the first floor was already full of seats, and even the rooms on the second and third floors were occupied by wealthy guests.

  The shopkeeper on the side almost smiled crookedly at this moment. After all, according to the passenger flow tonight, it is estimated that the business this night can cover the profit of the past month.

And at this moment, on the third floor of Yulu Building, in a Tianzihao room, two old men in Chinese clothes, a middle-aged man with gray hair, and a graceful lady gathered together. .

   "The new sheriff who arrived recently, is there still no other movement?" The old man in purple clothes asked.

   "Nothing happened." The gray-haired middle-aged man shook his head.

   "Heh~~ It seems that the new county guard is quite sensible." Another old man in Tsing Yi and Chinese clothes sneered.

"It's good to be acquainted. After all, the new county guard who came this time has something to do with that guy Meng Wu. Although Meng Wu's main focus is on guarding the border now, if he really annoys that guy, it's not good for us." It's a troublesome matter." The old man in purple clothes took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"Hmph! I think you are just too timid. After all, you are nothing more than mere brats. We have managed this place for several generations, and now at least 70% of the entire Nanjun government is our people, just a small sheriff. What else is it?" The old man in blue said disdainfully.

   "It's not that I'm afraid, but that it's unnecessary. A sheriff is really nothing, but offending a sheriff for no reason is not a good thing for us."

The gray-haired middle-aged man opened his mouth, and then continued: "My suggestion is to wait and see for a while. If the new sheriff is so knowledgeable in the next period of time, maybe there will be opportunities for us to cooperate in the future. ?”

   It's also interesting to say, originally several people thought that the new county magistrate who took office this time would have a high probability of being the same as before.

  The so-called let the new county guard realize the reality, they wanted to give the other party a first step.

  So ten days ago, when the new sheriff just took office, under the control of several people, only the concurrent imperial envoy and a few officials were present in the entire South County.

  Among them, the county lieutenant is concurrently held by Meng Wu, and Meng Wu guards the border, so naturally it is impossible to have time to see Mr. Mo.

   Others, including the county magistrate, and more than 90% of the subordinate county magistrates, were under their control and could not be present.

   This move is undoubtedly a severe face of the new sheriff.

  They thought the new sheriff would be very angry, but the other party not only didn't get angry at all, but just happily explained "everything will be business as usual" before letting everyone leave.

  They also wondered if the new sheriff planned to come back with revenge afterwards.

   As a result, ten days passed.

  The new county guard didn't say anything about revenge, and there was nothing like "three fires for a new official to take office".

   Even looking at him, he didn't even want to do the job of the county sheriff, because so far, most of the government affairs in the county have been handed over to one of his servants by the new sheriff.

   It was precisely because the new sheriff was too knowledgeable that he couldn't get rid of them all at once.

   "I guess we don't have to wait until later..."

   At this moment, among the four of them, the graceful lady, who had not spoken from the beginning to the end, finally opened her mouth to speak the first sentence after listening to the words of the gray-haired middle-aged man.

   said: "Now we have an opportunity to cooperate with this new sheriff."

"Um?"

  Hearing Madam Grace's words, the other three were taken aback.

  Afterwards, the gray-haired man reacted the fastest. He seemed to realize something, his eyes flashed, and he asked, "Is there any news from Xianyang?"

  The graceful lady nodded dignifiedly, and said: "It seems that that person should have reached some kind of deal with the current king of Qin, so I plan to let us temporarily cooperate with this new county governor."

  Hearing the words of the graceful lady, neither the gray-haired man nor the purple-clothed old man spoke immediately, but looked contemplative.

  Only the old man in Tsing Yi stared wide-eyed, blowing his beard and staring: "Cooperation? What qualifications does that brat have to cooperate with us? I don't agree."

The noble lady Grace had obviously been used to the violent temper of the old man in Tsing Yi, she was not surprised by his reaction at all, she just took a sip of tea and said calmly: "This is what the person from Xianyang meant, you can talk to him if you have any opinions. "

Hearing the noble lady Yongrong mentioned the one in Xianyang, the old man in Tsing Yi shrank his neck immediately and calmed down, but he still insisted: "It's okay to cooperate, but I have to try first to see if that kid is qualified to work with us." cooperate?"

  The old man in purple glared at him immediately when he heard the words, and said, "Don't be foolish, this is the task that the person assigned, if it goes wrong, we won't be able to get it right."

   At this time, the old man in Tsing Yi obviously calmed down, playing with a jade bottle in his hand, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said: "Don't worry! I have a sense of proportion. I will definitely not let him die."
