490 Inseparable Broth
Liu Liwa was wandering on the busy streets. Although it was getting late, the town was still prosperous, with restaurants and shops standing in the sky. He saw brothels that had not been seen for a long time, with lights and girls radiant. In Liu Liwa's eyes, he saw them particularly friendly.
There are many small vendors on both sides of the road, and the sellers sell seafood. The business is amazing and they are almost buying. Liu Li and Wa listen to people whispering, and it turns out that these seafood are all smuggled goods.
Because Nanchuan has strong sea power, the deep-sea areas are controlled by them, which makes Dongning's fishermen unable to get close to them and can only fish in the near sea, resulting in fewer and fewer aquariums and fewer products. At this time, Nanchuan fishermen took the risk to start smuggling activities and sell seafood to Dongning. Some deep-sea products have already been sold here at sky-high prices.
In addition to gaining huge wealth, these smugglers also obtained many rare specialties in Nanchuan through some channels, especially metallurgical products from Dongning, such as kitchen knives and axes. Metal utensils that were strictly controlled in Nanchuan, and they flowed into Nanchuan through smuggling, which put some pressure on Nanchuan's stability maintenance work, which was equivalent to providing weapons to Dongning spies active in Nanchuan in disguise.
Liu Liwa followed the whole way and observed. He just came from Nanchuan. When he looked at Dongning, although the two countries were connected, they had completely different systems. Under the high-pressure rule of Nanchuan, people were suppressed but their lives were stable. However, Dongning was relatively more open and had a wealthy life, but there were huge differences between the rich and the poor and the class level. They were also men. In brothels, they were benefactors and you were turtle men. How unfair.
However, these two different systems are out of choice. Each has its own benefits, but it depends on people's mentality and ability. In Nanchuan, there are poor people who break out, and in Dongning, there are rich people who go bankrupt.
He was wandering around boredly, and suddenly felt a rustling sound in his ears. The originally lively and bustling street suddenly filled with a murderous aura. People hurriedly dodged to both sides, and Liu Liwa was also squeezed into the crowd. At this moment, a pair of soldiers wearing guns and armor appeared on the street.
This is a mixed team. The first of them was riding a tall horse, holding a long spear, and two iron armored soldiers armed to their teeth behind them, like an indestructible moving castle. Finally, there were more than twenty ordinary infantry wearing armor and steel knives. They walked proudly on the street with a cold expression and sharp eyes. They were looking around. Liu Liwa was secretly frightened. Fortunately, there was a fat man next to him, hiding behind him, like a wall blocking the wind.
The soldiers walked slowly on the streets, patrolling left and right, and it took a long time to disappear. Liu Liwa let out a sigh, and the others around him relaxed. Someone whispered. It turned out that this patrol method had only appeared recently, as if he was catching the imperial prisoner.
Liu Liwa didn't know if this court criminal was himself, but he was careful to sail for ten thousand years. He immediately found a rouge shop, bought a charcoal pen for a woman's thrush, and pointed a few "fruits" on his face based on his memory, and found a place where no one pissed and looked at it. As expected, he was completely different. Then he felt relieved and boldly returned to the street again.
However, he still felt unsafe. After all, it was a secret killing order issued by the emperor himself. Who would not want to take the opportunity to please His Majesty the Emperor? He would definitely be trying to kill him. Liu Liwa didn't want to go to the official post station for a while, because he didn't know how the secret killing order had reached, and maybe he would issue it to all the rankless minor officials and postmasters.
As long as you wait until several officials gather together and set out to the capital, you will never appear in any official occasion. The safest place to live is brothels, where high-ranking officials and upper-class people appear. If there are no special circumstances, there will be no large-scale searches.
It gradually became dark, but it still did not affect the prosperity of the city. There was a night market at night, which was also a smuggled black market. At this time, there were more and better goods. Liu Liwa found a lively restaurant, ate a fish, and was stabbed and got stuck in his throat. Moreover, it was fish from Nanchuan. The smuggled goods were smuggled. The reason for the throat was that there were always some problems with parallel goods.
He ate alone and listened to the chatting of people next to him, and soon locked in a brothel called "Tianhailan". Everyone was talking about it, and some people set off after dinner. It must be a famous place to go.
Liu Liwa followed a few people on the street, with lights everywhere and lively. Soon he came to the "Sky Sea Blue" on the main street. The scale here is similar to the Zuixin Building. There are big red lanterns hanging on each floor of the four-story wooden building, and the lights are brightly lit. People outside the door are coming in and out. Two girls are radiantly recruiting guests. The two turtle men accompanied them with smiles and said auspicious words when they see people. Liu Liwa curled his lips disdainfully. He had long bid farewell to this primary stage. In Zuixin Building, guests were talking auspicious words to him and begging him to make a random match.
In front of Liu Liwa, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes shook his status and demeanor on a handful of white paper in his hand. Mr. Gui saw him as enthusiastic as he saw his own father. The middle-aged man was indeed generous. After throwing a ingot of silver out, he pulled Mr. Gui and asked, "Is there anything new today?"
"Yes. All the freshest ones are for you to keep for you." The turtle man looked around with a frown, as if it was very mysterious, but his voice was not low at all. I wish the whole world knew: "The girls who ran over the south just now were as pure as ice and tender as water, so I guarantee you are satisfied."
"Oh? Someone is coming from the south again. I like their simplicity of fear and fear the most." The middle-aged man said in a lewd manner, almost drooling. He likes to see women's fearful appearance to satisfy his possessiveness. He is not a real expert in flower. If he is a master, the emphasis should be on blending and happiness together.
Although their words were very obscure, Liu Liwa still heard the clues. The so-called people from the south should be women from the Nanchuan Kingdom who came smuggled over. Liu Liwa has only been to the capital of Nanchuan, and has hardly seen new people on the streets. He can't tell the level of wealth. But now it seems that the people in Nanchuan are living in a difficult life. You can understand that Nanchuan, a country near the sea, is occupied by ships and warships. It is exercised every day, which seriously interferes with the lives of the people. You can't even think about it.
