Chapter 76 Be the first to do it! Give me all to drink
Tokyo's continued peace and prosperity lasted for hundreds of years.
Bianliang City is bustling with singing and dancing, and the crowds are flowing like a weave. When the sun rises, people are bustling and busy, shoulder to shoulder.
Under the light, there is also darkness.
In the prison of the government office, no matter how bright the light is, it cannot penetrate.
The cell was damp and dark, and in the cell at the entrance, Hu Laotou was chatting with others.
These people made a tour, and time passed by, and it was afternoon.
"Recently, I haven't seen any prisoners who are well-paid. They even have to get a drink by themselves. It's really annoying." Hu Lao crossed his legs and cursed dissatisfiedly, "My mouth almost looks like a bird. It's really irritating."
"Hey, boss, have you heard anything recently? There is something new happening in our Tokyo city." A jailer said flatteringly.
"If you have something to say, say it, and if you fart something, let it go. I hate people who are half-covered."
"Boss, what he says is nice. If there is a treasure named Tianxiang on the market, all the ladies in Tokyo are going crazy. How can those top courtesans beg for a piece but not get it?"
"Oh? How much does this thing cost?" Hu Laotou said casually, "My wife is about to have her birthday, and I plan to give her a gift. By the way, what is the use of this thing? How can it make those women so crazy?"
"Hey, I heard that this product has magical effects. It can be scrubbed all over the body when washing. After use, the skin will be white and rosy, and there will be a long-lasting fragrance permeating the body. It is said to make the skin soft and youthful forever."
"Oh? Is it really such a miraculous effect?" Hu Laotou became interested for a moment.
"It should be true. I heard that the supply of this thing exceeds the demand. In the circle of upper-class ladies, owning this thing is a status symbol. If a lady has not used this thing, she will be laughed at."
The more he said, the more outrageous and exaggerated he became. Hu Laotou couldn't help but ask: "If this is the case, how much is this thing worth?"
"This number is available on the market." The jailer stretched out a hand, showing five fingers, and turned them back and forth twice.
"What do you mean, ten taels of silver?" Hu Laotou said with some pain in his heart, "It's really expensive, a small piece actually costs so much."
Who would have thought that the jailer looked over and said, "Boss, it's ten taels of gold. This is the price at which it was sold. Now it's been fetched fifteen taels of silver per piece on the black market?"
"What? What are you talking about? Fifteen taels of gold? Oh my god." Hu Laotou's eyes widened in shock, showing an expression of disbelief, "How can something not as big as a fist be worth so much? Then I can buy it.
I can't afford it. It's a treasure used by wealthy people. Low-life people like us should not think about it."
The jailer said hehe, "I'm just telling the boss. It's rumored that even the concubines in the palace are inquiring about it?"
"Hahaha, if I am lucky, my wife will be extremely happy if I can use this thing one time." Hu Laotou said, but then said, "The only way is to wait until the price drops a little.
, just take a look at the opportunity."
The people in the squad room usually have nothing important to do, but now they were chatting for a while. Hu Laotou was also irritable. He took out some broken silver from his arms and said: "You guys, go out and buy some drinks and meat. Let's just deal with it."
I haven’t been drinking much these past few days, so I’m really noisy.”
"Okay, then I'll call all the brothers."
"Okay, okay, okay."
…
Unexpectedly, the jailer had just left, but he turned back after a while, holding two large jars of wine in his hands, with a cheerful look on his face.
Hu Laotou looked up and wondered: "You just went out, why did you buy the drinks back?"
"Boss, it's the great monk who performed the ritual a few days ago."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of laughter: "Hu Laotou, I haven't had a drink with you for a long time. Today, the Japanese master has nothing to do and brought a fellow disciple to have a drink with you to relieve your boredom."
Hu Laotou was overjoyed and laughed and said: "Master, you are too polite. You come to my place, it is worthy of my treat."
The person who came was none other than Lu Zhishen. He changed into a light robe and was followed by two boys.
At the same time, there was a Taoist priest standing next to Lu Zhishen.
"Hu Laotou, before I became a monk, you used to love to drink with me. Now I don't know how much you drink." Lu Zhishen said proudly, while pointing to the person next to him, "This is from Qingsongguan.
Taoist priest named Muyun, I happened to meet him today, Hu Laotou doesn’t mind, right?"
When Lin Chong heard this, he thought about what Lu Zhishen had said before, that this Hu Laotou was not a friend at all, but just a kind of friend.
"Master Mu Yun, please invite me." In this era, the status of Taoist priests was not low.
Hu Laotou was a man who believed in gods and immortals very much, so he immediately showed a humble attitude.
Lu Zhishen waved his hand and said, "Bring the wine and meat here, then go out and wait. I'll call you if I need anything."
Before Hu Laotou could react, more than a dozen jars of wine and drinks were brought in, as well as more than 80 kilograms of beef and mutton, fruits and vegetables, etc.
Hu Laotou was stunned when he saw it: "Master, is there any big event today?"
"You hired me a business to perform rituals a few days ago. Naturally, we have to have a good drink. Don't get me wrong. My brother bought these drinks. He said that there will be some rituals in the future. I will let you know when the time comes.
." Lu Zhishen said as if casually.
When Hu Laotou heard the request, he let go of the doubts hanging in his heart. He looked at the table filled with wine and meat, and couldn't help but move his index finger.
"Ah, you are too polite. I'm ashamed to say it. We, the jailers, usually have to make a living with a little bit of money. If we drink too much, by the end of the month, we won't have any money left."
Lu Zhishen laughed loudly: "Then Master Muyun and I are here today. It's just the right time for us to have a drink."
The jailer on the side asked in a low voice: "We are drinking. If there are outsiders, they may come up to the peak and blame us."
Hu Laotou was furious: "What an ignorant idiot, a fairy, you are drinking with me, we are all on low duty, let those brothers who take over the night shift come over and drink later, and then we will have a drink with you."
What's the harm if I let them take care of me?"
After all the yelling, no one dared to refute.
Suddenly, the atmosphere was lively.
After drinking 350,000 to 50,000 yuan worth of wine, everyone spoke louder.
Hu Laotou and the others began to call each other brothers and sisters, their faces red and their ears red.
The noises came one after another. Yang Zhi, who was deep in the cell, frowned slightly. For some reason, he felt frightened.
Ever since he was imprisoned, I have never heard that cell leader Hu drank so unscrupulously. What happened today?
Could it be that Gao Qiu found out the news and someone is going to harm him tonight?
As soon as this thought came out, Yang Zhi felt uneasy and subconsciously stood up. Suddenly, a strange voice appeared outside the prison.
Take the stranger, lift up his long hair, and reveal a familiar face.
Yang Zhi's throat tightened and he almost cried.
It turned out to be Brother Lin Chong!
Brother is here, and he is here to save me!
Yang Zhi was so excited that he looked up to the sky and shouted.
He forced himself to control his emotions and listened to Brother Lin Chong say: "All of you who are going to commit crimes, please listen to me. Hu Laotou is generous tonight and said he would give each of you half a bowl of wine. Eat well and sleep well. Don't make any noise."
