Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 91

Fan Lou!Mezzanine!
"Zhenger, why are you so casual about this matter, that Zhang San is here, you should come and inform me immediately."

Fan Yong reprimanded his son Fan Zheng while going down the stairs quickly.

Fan Zheng hurriedly said: "The boy just found out about it, and I think Brother Zhang is quite easy-going, why is Daddy so nervous?"

"easy going?"

Fan Yong snorted: "He is a wolf in sheep's clothing, so Chen Maoqian is ruthless, no one in the capital is afraid of him, but he, Chen Maoqian, just signed a lease contract with Zhang San. I'm so scared that I'm not in the mood to pamper the concubine he just hired."

"Why is this?"

"Is there any need to ask? If there is a problem with the contract, Zhang San may have the final say on how much to pay. Remember, the robbery is not as good as him in case."

".?"

In Fan Yong's eyes, Zhang San seems to have become the number one hooligan in Tokyo.

When I came downstairs, I just came to the door of the east building when I heard someone shouting inside: "Ten ones, na na na, once you shout, but you are not allowed to change."

"Eleven three."

"open!"

Fan Yong asked curiously, "What are they doing?"

Fan Zheng shook his head.

Fan Yong entered the east building, but saw that the table in the middle was full of people, the "lively" Ma Xiaoyi stood on the stool again, pointed at the people opposite and said: "You guys lost, drink! Drink!"

Fan Zheng frowned and said, "What are they playing?"

Fan Yong didn't care to pay attention to these things, his eyes swept away, and his eyeballs almost fell out, and he saw a long table on the left, with more than ten singing girls sitting, but there was only one man sitting, and this man was Zhang Fei.

It's really a little green among thousands of flowers!
Although there was still Li Si standing beside him, but that fellow blushed like a monkey's butt, and it was also red!

It happened that a bartender was passing by with an empty jug, Fan Zheng immediately stopped the bartender and asked, "What are they doing?"

The bartender said: "Earlier, the yamen called the villains to bring some dice, and later that Zhang San taught them a new way to play, but it was very interesting. After a while, it attracted many people. Mr. Han's lips twitched again, and now they are fighting the dice, whoever loses will drink."

Fan Yong asked: "Why didn't Zhang San play by himself?"

The bartender hurriedly said: "That Zhang Sanlang also played for a while before, but when there were too many people, he left, and the villain brought a jar of wine, and Zhang San sat down with Sister Caishi and the others."

Fan Zheng nodded and said, "Go and do your work."

"Yes."

After the bartender left, Fan Yong said twice: "That's right, with his mouth, he is afraid that he won't find a woman to talk to. Let's go! Let's learn too."

Fan Zheng smiled mischievously and followed.

The two father and son's personalities are not very similar, Fan Yong is more funny, and Fan Zheng is more boring.

"Mr. Fan is here!"

Seeing Fan Yong coming, Zhang Fei got up immediately.

Those singing girls also got up one after another, or nodded, or bowed.

Fan Yong said with a smile: "I never thought that Sanlang would come to my Baifan Building, just like going to the hall. He is so glamorous and attracts everyone's attention."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Member, I don't like this analogy, and Caishi and the others are just asking me about the law."

Just now he taught Cao Dongdong how to play the dice, and he immediately attracted everyone in the lobby. He invited a group of singing girls to sit down and taught them hand in hand, but with the addition of Han Pan and the others, the civil and military competition began again.

It can also be said that the party of relatives VS the party of civil servants.

Except for some old friends, most singing girls are useless.

Who the hell still talks about poetry and songs?

It can be said that Zhang Fei has lowered the grade of the entire Baifanlou by himself.

Zhang Fei quietly took these singing girls to another table to sit down, these singing girls, living in the world, had many disputes, Zhang Fei prescribed the right medicine, and soon they warmed up.

"Oh!"

Fan Yong asked one of the women, "Caishi, do you have any lawsuits?"

Zhang Fei said first: "You don't have to have a lawsuit before you can consult me. I just talked about their contract with Caishi and the others. I think this is very unfair to them. They pay a lot but get too little, especially Lack of legal protection."

Those singing girls nodded one after another, their delicate faces showed a hint of grievance, but they were so charming.

"So that's what happened." Fan Yong laughed, and then said to Zhang Fei: "San Lang came today and didn't say hello in advance. Please forgive me for his negligence. Come, come, I will take you to my Baifan Building. "

On this occasion, Zhang Fei didn't want to leave, so he winked suddenly, you and your father and son should be more sensible, go to the toilet quickly, don't stay here to be an eyesore.

"Is Sanlang's eyes uncomfortable?" Fan Yong asked with concern.

"Pfft!"

Several singing girls covered their lips and smiled lightly.

Zhang Fei glanced at Fan Yong in embarrassment, and stood up reluctantly, "Then I will trouble the staff."

Fan Yong took Zhang Fei for a stroll, and sat down in the private seat on the second floor.

"Sanlang, to tell you the truth, my Baifanlou and those singing girls are just fish and water. I don't care how much I earn from them, but if you help them draw up a contract, it will also bring you a lot of money." trouble."

Fan Zheng added: "Brother Zhang, this dusty place is also a place of right and wrong."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "The land of right and wrong is where our Er Bi lives. I am not afraid of trouble, I am not afraid of no trouble. The staff should know that next year I will show my strengths."

Fan Yong smiled and nodded: "That's right, Saburo dares to guarantee the tax, and he is still afraid of these things."

Zhang Fei said: "I believe that under a reasonable rule, this business will be prosperous. If only relying on big fists, it will be over soon, or at least it will stop. Besides, this man dies for money, and birds die for food. Die, and I deserve to die."

Fan Yong laughed and said: "It's a good saying that people die for money, and birds die for food. I offer a toast to Saburo."

After chatting for a while, I suddenly heard someone downstairs shouting: "Zhang San, Zhang San, are you upstairs?"

It was Cao Dongdong's voice.

"exist!"

Zhang Fei quickly responded.

He heard Ma Xiaoyi yell again: "Third brother, come down quickly, we're about to sell."

Fan Yong suddenly asked: "So Sanlang also came for that widow?"

Widow again?Is the girl so unbearable?Zhang Fei wondered, "What is the origin of the widow?"

Fan Yong said: "The widow's husband was originally a high-class farmer. At the beginning of this year, during his service, he not only lost a batch of goods from the imperial court, but also took his own life in it. All his belongings were confiscated, including his wife, I have seen this widow, she was born like a fish and a wild goose, and many sons and brothers came here for her."

Zhang Fei asked curiously, "He even lost his life, so he still has to compensate the court?"

Fan Yong said: "That's the imperial court's goods. Someone has to be responsible for it. To make up the account, he can only blame himself for being unlucky!"

"Right!"

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded.

Coming downstairs, I saw Ma Xiaoyi standing on a chair, beckoning to Zhang Fei: "Third brother, come here quickly, come here quickly."

Zhang Fei walked over, looked at Ma Xiaoyi's blushing face, and couldn't help asking: "How much did you drink?"

Ma Xiaoyi chuckled and said: "I don't drink much, look at Han Pan, his face is much redder than mine, thanks to his wit and intelligence, no one can look down on him, I think he is much stupider than me."

Zhang Fei turned his head to look, and saw that Han Pan and Fu Zhishuang were sitting there resting their breath, as if they were still complaining to each other.

Cao Dongdong stood up and hugged Zhang Fei, saying: "Zhang San, your new way of playing is so interesting."

This smell of wine!
"Ouch!"

Zhang Fei quickly broke free and sat beside Fu Shichun, "If you have something to say, don't get too close, two big men, are they suitable?"

As he said that, he rolled his eyes, "Ya Nei, I'm having so much fun today, why don't you buy a maid for me?"

Cao Dongdong immediately said: "That's not okay, I have to save the money to help you buy a widow, I can't lose to that Han Pan."

Zhang Fei asked curiously, "It's just a maid, how much can I ask for?"

Fu Shichun hehe said: "The maidservants at the auction meeting in Baifenlou must be at least several hundred."

"Hundreds of sticks?"

It was Li Si who spoke, and he couldn't help looking at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei immediately said: "Look at what I am doing, we are not in a master-servant relationship, we are all buddies."

After speaking, Zhang Fei asked Fu Shichun again: "Is it so expensive?"

He really wanted to get a maid back.

Fu Shichun immediately explained.

It turns out that there are mainly two types of maids at present, one is prostitution and the other is employment.

And the sale conference in Baifan Building is mainly aimed at the latter, because selling maids is mainly human beings, which are very cheap, while hiring maids, selling crafts, is more valuable.

Although singing girls do not sell themselves, they make more money than prostitutes.

The reason is the same.

The first floor of the Alum Building in Tokyo is also a high-end route.

According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, the longest employment contract for a maid was ten years at most.

The main purpose of flutter selling is to bid for ten-year remuneration.

While chatting, Zhang Fei suddenly heard a yell, looked up, and saw an old woman with heavy makeup coming up to the stage, and a young servant beside her was holding a gong and drum in his hand.

Fu Shichun introduced: "This old woman is our number one matchmaker in Tokyo, Aunt Gu. She was born as a court lady, and she is skilled in cooking, pharmacy, wine making, needlework, and delivering babies. The maid in her hands is trained by her. It came out, and the price is the most expensive in Tokyo.”

Zhang Fei only felt that his eyes were wide open, the training school was opened, and there were not many opportunities left for him, a time traveler, to pretend to be aggressive.

After a brief opening remark, he introduced the next process.

It's very simple, first sell the maids, and then sell the prostitutes.

After the introduction, the Pumai Conference officially began. The first person to come on stage was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl with two braids, her face was flushed, and she kept her head down.

But Aunt Gu was bragging passionately, saying that the little girl was clever and handy, and she was so good at needlework that she couldn't even see the patches, so she was almost the best in the capital.

This is not a sales conference, this is clearly a recruitment conference, it is so foreign.Zhang Fei asked in a low voice, "Hey! This maid only sews and mends, and doesn't do anything else?"

Fu Shichun said: "If he said that, then he doesn't do anything else."

Zhang Fei said depressedly: "What kind of maid is this? It's not as good as Qingmei."

Ma Xiaoyi said: "Brother's family kneads dough all have special maids, that's all they do."

Cao Dongdong chuckled, "It's not just about kneading dough, it's also about kneading people."

What the hell, is the division of labor so fine?Poverty still weighs down my vision.Zhang Fei became more and more unbelievable, and felt that he had only seen the tip of the iceberg of Tokyo Bianliang before.

Fu Shichun said: "If this kind of maid is only suitable for a big family like the Yamen, it is not suitable for your family. There are only two people in your family, and how much needlework you have. Wait a minute, the third one is quite suitable for you."

Zhang Fei asked curiously, "How is Mr. Fu so clear?"

Ma Xiaoyi said: "He stays in this Baifan building every day, can you not understand?"

After bragging, Aunt Gu quoted the price, ten years, 250 guan, and the annual salary is almost 25 guan, but it also includes food and housing.

In the maid world, it's not too low.

"250 guan." Immediately, a person raised his hand and said.

Zhang Fei looked around and saw a young servant, he pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and said, "Three hundred guan."

Cao Dongdong was taken aback, "Zhang San, do you like this maid?"

Zhang Fei said: "Didn't you see that I pay attention to appearance?"

Only one person shouted, "My son gave 350 guan."

Cao Dongdong tilted his head and saw that it was Han Pan's servant who was bidding, and he couldn't help saying: "This guy did it on purpose, his family has no shortage of maids."

Zhang Fei raised his hand again and said, "450 guan."

One hundred times one jump?
There was an uproar in the hall.

Cao Dongdong, Fu Shichun, and Ma Xiaoyi all looked at Zhang Fei in shock.

Only Mrs. Gu was so excited.

What a good start!
Ma Xiaoyi excitedly said: "Third brother, this maid is not worth so much money!"

Li Si even grabbed Zhang Fei's sleeves tightly with both hands, as if to say, third brother, we don't have much money, so don't slap your face and pretend to be fat!
Zhang Fei pushed Li Si away, shrugged and said, "Come out to play, I hate others for being more arrogant than me."

Fellow people!Cao Dongdong excitedly said: "Zhang San, this yamen supports you."

Zhang Fei asked: "Shall it be shared equally?"

"There is no such rule." Cao Dongdong shook his head and said.

He heard the other side shout again: "Five hundred guan."

Cao Dongdong hurriedly said: "Zhang Fei, you can't admit defeat, keep calling."

Ma Xiaoyi also kept nodding his head: "Call, call, call! Third brother, hurry up and call."

"It's up to you to say."

Zhang Fei raised his hand and accidentally touched the wine glass, a few drops of wine fell on his clothes, he hurriedly got up, wiped it, and said: "Li Si, quickly bring the handkerchief."

Li Si hurriedly handed over a handkerchief.

After wiping it for a long time, it was considered not clean. Zhang Fei threw the handkerchief away and raised his hand, "Ah! Is it over so soon?"

Aunt Gu looked at Zhang Fei resentfully, she has waited for you for so long, you still have the guts to complain.

Cao Dongdong also cast a contemptuous look at him, "It's really embarrassing to be arrogant."

"This is purely a mistake!"

Zhang Fei said: "The next one is up to me."
