Chapter 45: Chen Huaiyi
As soon as Li Jin entered the painting boat, he saw a group of court officials dancing with a few dancing girls in the house.
This scene was so jarring that Li Jin couldn't help but cover his eyes.
However, this scene really shocked Li Jin.
When Li Jin thought about it, Zhu Yuanzhang hated corrupt officials so much that not only at the local level, but at least in Yingtian City, these officials would definitely restrain themselves a lot.
But when he got here, Li Jin realized that he had really underestimated these officials.
Not only did these people enjoy themselves here, but they didn't even change their official robes, so they blatantly visited prostitutes.
"Boy, who are you? This is not a place where idlers can come in."
While Li Jin was watching, a middle-aged man with a sinister face and a red official robe next to him interrupted Li Jin.
"Hey, you don't have to worry about who I am. I just want to ask, is it really okay for officials to eat, drink and have fun here?"
Li Jin chuckled, but asked a question he was concerned about.
"Question? Boy, look what this is?"
The middle-aged man's face was red and his eyes were blurred with drunkenness. When he heard Li Jin's question, he immediately took off his belt.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? I don't have any special hobbies, so don't do anything random!"
Li Jin hurriedly tried to stop him. Is this bastard an exhibitionist?
The man ignored him and continued to drag his official robe. After taking off the belt, his chest was directly exposed.
"Did you see? What is this?"
The man held his chest high, fearing that Li Jin could not see clearly.
Li Jin glanced briefly and saw a huge scar.
Draw directly from the left shoulder to the right, the depth is bottomless.
Li Jin couldn't believe that the man in front of him was still alive after being so seriously injured. It was truly a medical miracle.
"This is the sword we blocked for the emperor in the Poyang Lake battle. If it weren't for us, the emperor would probably be gone."
"Now that we have been fighting for half our lives, what's wrong with us enjoying ourselves? Will the emperor chop off our heads just because of this trivial matter?"
This man boasted about his achievements and said that it was time for him to be happy.
Only then did Li Jin know that this person had blocked the sword for the emperor, so no one dared to care.
However, Li Jin couldn't say anything to such an old general who fought bravely for the stability of the world, so he could only ask:
"Don't you know your name?"
"Ma Sandao, I took three knives for the emperor, so I got this name."
"How about it, are you domineering?"
Ma Sandao was very proud, his face full of pride.
"Domineering."
But Li Jin came to Goulan to listen to music today, and he was not interested in his nickname.
"My lord, just keep drinking. I have other things to do, so I won't be with you."
With that said, Li Jin was about to leave and go to the depths of Huafang, which was the destination of his trip.
"Wait!"
When Ma Sandao saw Li Jin was about to leave, he suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Li Jin and asked:
"Boy, why do we look so familiar to you? Your voice sounds like you belong to Fengyang, right? Where do you live?"
"Everyone in my family has died a long time ago. You must have admitted your mistake."
Li Jin didn't want to have anything to do with a drunkard, so he turned around and left without answering.
Ma Sandao looked at Li Jin's back, his brows furrowed and his eyes full of doubts.
Why does this kid look so familiar? He must have seen him somewhere, but he just forgot.
Masandao patted his head in frustration.
....
Li Jin walked up to the second floor of the boat, but it was much more elegant than the previous scene of dancing demons.
Although there are also officials from the imperial court here, these people are much more refined.
Both officials and guests were kneeling and sitting on both sides of the room, with tea tables and snacks placed in front of them, which looked quite reminiscent of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
Li Jin's arrival did not attract anyone's attention. Everyone was talking quietly with the people next to them.
Occasionally, one or two people's eyes will be attracted by the dancer dancing in the middle of the room, but they will soon hide their lustful eyes.
The people gathering on the second floor seemed to be intellectuals. Although they came here with the same purpose, it was just for the bed.
But how can we say that what is done by educated people is prostitution? Let’s get straight to the point, that is what vulgar people do.
They usually talk about being a sensual person and being a guest, which sounds very elegant.
Li Jin directly found a seat and sat down. Regardless of the strange looks from the people next to him, he said loudly:
"Madam, call me the most beautiful girl here."
"I want the one with the biggest breasts and the perkiest ass."
As soon as these words came out, the chatter and laughter around him suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Li Jin with a look of retardation.
Did we get a fool?
One of the men, about forty years old, snorted coldly:
“Rude!”
Li Jin rolled his eyes and did not offend him. Instead, he took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket.
"Da da da!"
A stack of silver notes kept making sounds in Li Jin's hands as he tapped them.
"Where's the madam? Where did he die? Don't you want to make money anymore?"
"Oh, sir, my family is here!"
Seeing Li Jin's generous move, the old madam who had been silent next to him finally couldn't hold himself back, let out a cry, and stood up.
"I wonder what the guest officer's orders are?"
Li Jin casually threw out a 10,000-tael silver note and said:
"Do as I say and the money will be yours."
When the old bustard saw that all Li Jin threw out were ten thousand taels of silver, he was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly:
"Okay!! Master, wait a moment, you'll be here soon!"
Seeing the madam's slave-like appearance, the man who just spoke coldly snorted again:
"If you are so greedy for money, how many bad money will it take to be a big deal?"
"It's really shameful to be in the company of such people!"
Li Jin kept chattering there, stood up, and walked to the man:
"Old guy, are you done?"
"Do you dare to say your name?"
The man's face instantly turned red and he said angrily:
"Shu Zi!! What a Shu Zi!"
"I'm Chen Huaiyi, how are you doing?"
Li Jin was slightly startled when he heard this name?
"Chen Huaiyi? Are you the supervisory censor?"
Seeing Li Jin's stunned expression, Chen Huaiyi thought he had heard of his name and was frightened.
He immediately raised his head proudly, stroked his beard with his right hand, and said proudly:
"It's me!!"
"Boy, did you get scared when you heard my name?"
"Kneel down and kowtow to me three times, and I will consider forgiving you, otherwise, hum!"
Li Jin was indeed a little surprised to see Chen Huaiyi here, because this Chen Huaiyi was going to die soon, and he didn't expect that he would be able to see him one last time.
Seeing Chen Huaiyi looking convinced of himself, Li Jin laughed evilly:
"Kowtow? I think you are old and confused."
"Old man, you are just a withered skeleton in a grave, and you still dare to bark!"
Li Jin suddenly took out five banknotes from his arms and shouted:
Chapter completed!
