The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

In the private room, the tea and fruit plate was quickly put on the table, Su Jin took a sip of tea, pointed to the stool and said to the old bustard: "Sit down too, I will only ask you about one person and ask him a few words about his situation, you can tell the truth Just answer, and I won’t disturb your business.”

The old bustard blessed him with a smile and said: "Look at what you little official said, you will be the master if you give the money, don't say a few words in reply, it is... that is... hehe... I want the servant to personally I will accompany you, and the servants will not quit."

Su Jin looked at the obsequious fat face in front of her, feeling sick for a while. She is also a woman. Why do some people have all kinds of beautiful faces, while others have a bloated and disgusting appearance? God is fair, but there is no fairness in this old bustard, who is fat and ugly and has no self-knowledge.

"Don't gossip, let me ask you, is the guest named Brother Jin who came in just now a regular visitor in your building?" Su Jin asked with a frown.

"Brother Jin? I don't know any kind of Brother Jin. In this garden of my slave's house, there are hundreds if not thousands. How can I know everyone's name? Besides, the rule in the brothel is to meet and follow fate, everyone If you love me, I would like to have a good time, who cares about other people's first and last names?" [

Su Jin nodded and said: "It's true, I don't know the name, you must have an impression of him, I'm talking about the one who was surrounded by three or four women just now to the east wing of the second floor, not tall, but thick The young man with thick arms and legs."

The old bustard thought for a while and suddenly said: "Are you talking about the young man who wears a long gown but wears layered bottoms at his feet? It is said that other people's slaves really don't have any impression, but he has a deep impression; this man looks like a muddy leg , pretending to be wearing a cotton shirt, but wearing a layered bottom with mud legs under his feet, which is neither fish nor fowl."

Su Jin smiled and said, "It's him, but you have a sharp eye, and you can see that he is a mud leg at a glance."

The old bustard chuckled and said, "Who can escape my old lady's eyes? This man comes here every now and then to have fun, and every time he is released from prison, he calls three or four girls." Hanging around together, the girls are unwilling to serve him, saying that his hands and feet are covered with thick calluses, "touching" his body is like cutting with a knife, but the hands are still generous, and people like him don't know where the money comes from , maybe he won a fortune in the casino."

Su Jin asked hurriedly: "He often comes here after the new year? Has he been here before?"

The old bustard said: "I haven't seen it before, but I've come here five or six times in the past twenty days after the year."

Su Jin nodded thoughtfully, reached out and handed the silver ingot on the table to the old bustard and said, "My lord, I mean what I say, and this ingot will belong to you."

The old bustard slipped into his sleeve with a smile, but said in his mouth: "What should I do? A petty official doesn't want to be waited on by others. He just asks a few words. My family has received so much money from you for nothing, so I feel uneasy! Bunu's family asked a girl to come and sing a song for the little official, to accompany the official to relieve boredom?"

Su Jin waved his hand and said, "No need, but I do have something to tell you. Do you know who I am? Why should I ask you about that person?"

The old bustard said: "This servant really doesn't know."

Su Jin smiled and said: "Then it's okay to tell you, I'm a yamen official, and this guy named Jin is related to the theft in several officials' homes. I'm staring at him to find evidence."

The old bustard jumped in surprise and hurriedly shook out the silver in his sleeve and held it in front of Su Jin, saying: "It turns out that it is the poor man, this... this servant is blind, so the official should quickly take back the money, and the poor man asked a few words." The slave family should answer easily, but come to collect money from the poor man, what's the reason?"

Su Jin smiled and said: "It's okay, you just keep it, but you have to do me a little favor."

"I'm sorry, but please tell me."

"Go quietly to that room and ask a girl to come out, and I will tell her something."

The old bustard hurriedly said: "This is easy to handle, but I have a request from my family. I will send someone later. Don't make trouble in my garden. This is a business place. It would be a big deal to scare away the guests."

Su Jin smiled and said: "Don't worry, if you want to get it early, you will never do it in your garden."

The old bustard thanked her repeatedly, turned around and went upstairs, and came downstairs after a while, followed by a disheveled pink hair bun.

"Master, this is Miss Ying'er, one of the girls who served the guest. The servant only said that she should come out and bring some tea in. Master, please hurry up. The guest officer is so impatient, he scolded her just now. .”[

Su Jin nodded and said to the fan named Ying'er: "Girl, I am the case officer of Kaifeng Prefecture. The guest officer in your room is suspected of being a key criminal in theft and robbery, so I came here to investigate his details, so I want to ask you for a favor."

Ying'er was taken aback, curled her lips in disbelief and said, "Did the messenger make a mistake? Does the Jin official still have the guts to rob and steal? That's just a lecherous mud leg, and he can't speak well. Do you still dare to make a case?"

Zhao Hu shouted: "What do you know? Do what my lord tells you to do. Did you ask anything else?"

Su Jin waved his hand to stop Zhao Hu, and said with a smile: "Girl, you don't need to say anything else, after you go in later, help me ask him how he got the money, and ask him what he does for a living, and you don't need anything else Do, just tell me his first and last name, and listen for the cracks in his words."

Ying'er said: "There's no need to ask. This Jin official likes the slave family. Since he met here, every time he comes to the garden, he has to serve the slave family. He also said that he wants to redeem himself for the slave family. The slave family also asked him where he is from." , What kind of business do you do, he said that he came to the capital from another state to do business, and that his family is very rich, and he will leave the capital to go back to other places in a few days."

Su Jin said: "Oh? He wants to leave? Why do you want to leave when you are doing business?"

Ying'er said: "I don't know about this slave family. I don't believe him. How can such a vulgar thing look like a person who can be entrusted for life? You haven't seen him as a pervert. Every time you come, you call him Accompanied by three or four sisters, how can such a man be a good man? I don't think he is a rich businessman at all, but like a gambler who got rich overnight, with a few pieces of silver in his pocket, he feels I am amazing."

Su Jin smiled and said, "Go back and tell him a story and see how he reacts."

Yinger said, "What story?"

Su Jin whispered a few words in Ying'er's ear, Ying'er changed color and said, "The messenger said that Brother Jin is the bad ruffian who betrayed his master?"

Su Jin said: "I'm just doubting him. You go and talk about this on purpose and see how he reacts."

Ying'er said: "Then what if he gets angry? The brute force of that stupid man, it's a big deal to kill the servant."

Su Jin smiled and said: "Don't worry, we will protect you in the next room and rush over as soon as we hear the noise. He is not our opponent. Besides, if the details of this person are exposed, he will just try to find a way to escape, and then we will go to the next room." How could you commit murder in public? You can rest assured that nothing will happen."

Ying'er looked at Su Jin and Zhao Hu, Su Jin was fine, Zhao Hu's burly and strong body gave her confidence, so she nodded and said: "Well, I will go to test it out. The next door to my house is Xiaohui's room. Only a layer of thin boards separated Xiao Hui from being called to serve by that person, you can stay in Xiao Hui's room, you can hear it clearly."

Su Jin said: "Very good, let's do this."

……

In order to deceive others, Su Jin and Zhao Hu went upstairs to Xiaohui's room first, only to hear the sound of coquettish laughter and cursing from the next door, and several women screaming from time to time, obviously this brother Jin was hugging left and right in the room. Hug up and down.

After a while, I heard the door next door being opened with a creak, and a woman said: "Mr. Jin, your favorite sweetheart Yinger is here. Don't pester us. Your chest is pinched by you!" Green."

A man's soft voice came: "Sister Ying'er, why have you been here for so long? Brother, I've been waiting impatiently."

Yinger said angrily, "Isn't it just to get you some tea? This is wolfberry tea, which is nourishing."

"Oh, it's still Ying'er who treats me well. I know what I'm going to do tonight, so you will cry and cry, so I prepared nourishing tea in advance. Come and come, I haven't let it go for several days. It made my brother feel very uncomfortable. Put down the tea. Let me accompany Master Shu Tan for a while, the first shot must be your Yinger girl, my brother is full of stuff, I will leave it all to you, who told me that I like you the most." Jin Geer was full of foul language, Laughter than that.

All the women coquettishly cursed at each other. The so-called shame of brothel women will only add fuel to the flames when they encounter such a situation. The sound of panting and Yinger's screams and resistance. [

Zhao Hu blushed when he heard it, looked at Su Jin, and listened very carefully with his ear against the wall, so he quickly concentrated his mind and listened carefully.
