1154. Chapter 1154 Self-inflicted crimes cannot live 【08】
A true nobleman will not live in the same place with the common people and listen to the shouts of those from different religions all day long.
So much lack of majesty!
Several famous squares in the outer city, such as Xinyi Square, Heping Square, Zhaonan Square, Osmanthus Square, Taiping Square, etc., are the places where gambling houses, brothels, prostitutes, Goulan Courtyards, sideshow courtyards, etc. gather.
.
The people who live here cannot be considered decent citizens.
At least not counting those people who rely on farming and their pure craftsmanship for a living. Many people are half-craftsmen and half-skilled, and most of them make a living by forming gangs and lending money.
There are also some people who have specialized thug workshops, raising a large number of thugs to help people solve some problems.
And these people who raise thugs are all people with a backstage, at least they are the brothers of Jing Zhaoyin's concubine, and the powerful ones are even operated privately by a certain prince and noble.
Therefore, these people cannot organize themselves at all on weekdays.
If you want to rectify it, it is just a face-saving project. When it is not good, you will treat it to a meal, give some gifts, and then pass, and no one will come to check.
If it is more powerful and you want to come over for inspection and deal with the problem, then you can transfer people away and hide somewhere. After the inspection is completed, come back and there will be no problem.
Therefore, when the inspection came, the originally crowded streets seemed very empty, and those people were hiding in hiding places without pavement.
Lu Li brought four of his followers, and the five of them were on the street to check out the market.
It was early in the morning, and there were not many people on the streets. It was almost the end of the New Year, and the New Year atmosphere was very strong. Even the poorest families hung up red lanterns.
Lu Li took his entourage and sat down in a simple-looking noodle shop, intending to eat a bowl of noodles and observe it.
Each of them ordered a bowl of pork ribs noodles and ate it happily in the corner.
At this moment, a man from outside rushed in with a cold wind, stamping his feet and rubbing his hands, shouting, "Brother Chang, bring a big bowl of mutton noodles and a plate of mustard to warm yourself up."
As he spoke, he took off the felt hat from his head, rubbed it, and stuffed it into his belt.
While stamping his feet, he looked inside and saw five people sitting in the corner. They looked like people walking across from them, so he didn't pay attention.
When the noodles came, he said again: "Boss, I have a brother who will be here later. You go and cut three kilograms of good braised beef nearby."
The boss smiled and said, "Is he your brother who works for a wealthy family?"
The man said proudly: "Well, let me tell you, my brother is very well-informed, and he is going to the Prime Minister's Mansion today. You know the Prime Minister's Mansion, tsk tsk, big things are going on these days.
"
A few people standing in the corner immediately pricked up their ears, and some stopped their chopsticks to listen.
Lu Li glared at him and kicked him, "Go out and watch."
The man knew that he was almost exposed, so he quickly put down his chopsticks and ran out to look out.
Lu Li then slowed down to eat noodles, and then ordered a few more steamed buns and three bowls of haggis soup, which the others ate slowly.
But the man over there had already piqued the boss's interest. The boss was making haggis soup slowly and kept asking the man what was going on in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Lu Li listened for a while and already knew that the man's name was Zhu Wu, who was responsible for delivering food to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Please maintain the motivation to update ten. If you don’t have the motivation, six would be better.
