The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Song Quan, the second leader, chief planner and intelligence officer of Anletang, came out of the firewood shed in the east cross courtyard and came to the middle hall.

Several other leaders were here. The leader of the hall, Lu Yibin, asked: "How is the situation of Mr. Lin?"

Song Quan replied: "I heard that if you want to recruit young people who are new to the world, you should take them to see all the prosperity of the world; if you want to recruit middle-aged and elderly people who have experienced vicissitudes of life, you should take them to see their childhood sweethearts."

Hall Master Lu was confused: "What do you mean? Say something I can understand!"

Song Quan added: "We will negotiate with He Yi Tang tonight and bring Boy Lin with us so that he can experience the world of adults and know what he can enjoy as a young hall master."

Hall Master Lu felt quite embarrassed. He twirled his beard and said, "We have agreed that only three people from a family can serve the table. The cost of the banquet and the accompanying wine are not cheap."

Song Quan replied: "Brother, you, me, and Mr. Lin, there are exactly three of us in total.

Besides, boy Lin can equal ten to one and can protect his elder brother. Isn't it wonderful? "

Xu Dasheng, the leader of the three leaders, was immediately dissatisfied. He originally went to Suzhou City tonight to "talk about numbers", but Anletang planned to have the eldest, second, and third brothers go out together.

Now that Brother Song wants to replace himself with that boy Lin, what does it mean? Isn't he, the leader of the trio, worthy enough to go out for food, drink and have fun on behalf of the society?

Song Quan further explained: "There must be someone in the hall, just in case, so it is appropriate for the third brother to stay and take on the important responsibility!"

Hall Master Lu thought for a moment and realized that the negotiation location was not on his own territory, so it would be safer to take Mr. Lin with him.

Although Mr. Lin was knocked unconscious last time, it was also a case of beating ten people. There was no credit but hard work.

Moreover, Xu Sandi often stayed overnight outside, which was very expensive and not cost-effective.

Therefore, replacing Xu Sandi with Lin Xiaozi can save a lot of club funds.

"I have made up my mind, no need to say more, I will let Mr. Lin go with me tonight, and my third brother will stay behind to guard the house!" Hall Master Lu finally said with finality.

After having another bowl of white porridge in the afternoon, Lin Tailai was released and taken to the waterside at the back door to prepare for boarding the boat.

The biggest transportation feature of Suzhou Prefecture is the dense water network, which is the best in the world. Most of the houses are arranged with the front door facing the street and the back door facing the river.

Another characteristic is that water and land are parallel. Especially in and near the city of Suzhou, where there are land roads, there are parallel rivers.

Therefore, wherever your legs can go, you can also reach it by boat. Compared with walking, taking a boat is certainly more comfortable.

Leader Lu Da and Song Ertou took the lead and boarded the ship, entered the cabin and sat down.

The club ship was quite spacious, and Lin Xiaoluo seemed to want to follow him into the cabin, but was glared at by Leader Song Er.

"If you are not the young hall master, you can only stand outside on the boat deck!" Uncle Song said.

Lin Tailai felt a strong smell of PUA coming towards his face.

But I can only follow the example of other minions, facing away from the cabin, folding my hands on my chest, and standing with my legs slightly spread apart.

Dr. Lin, a cultural figure, was a little resistant to this style and complained to his fellow club members next to him: "We are just like thugs."

The accomplice asked in surprise: "Is there a possibility that we are the thugs?"

Dr. Lin: "."

This is not going to work, we still have to clear our name as soon as possible!

Hengtang Town, the base camp of Anletang, is located at the intersection of Xujiang River and the Grand Canal, about ten miles away from Suzhou City, and connected to Xumen of Suzhou City through the Xujiang Waterway.

Around Suzhou City, Hengtang Town is considered a relatively prosperous town. Of course, it is far behind the famous Fengqiao Town in the north.

Suzhou City has a special feature. From a commercial perspective, the "suburbs" outside the city to the west are somewhat more prosperous than the city, and the "urban area" has spread outside the city walls.

With Changmen in the northwest as the core, three commercial center blocks extend outward.

The first one is from Changmen to the west, all the way to Shili Fengtang in Fengqiao Town. This is the world's first-class commercial district and the main road connecting the Grand Canal and Suzhou City.

The second one is from Changmen to the northwest, all the way to Qili Shantang in Huqiu, which is equally bustling and lively with feasting and feasting.

The third line is Nanhao, which runs from Changmen to the south along the moat to outside Xumen.

Moreover, the Xumen is close to the government and county offices, so most of the official receptions are arranged in Nanhao, where more dignitaries appear.

Today, the negotiation place between Anletang and Heyitang was in Nanhao. They stopped the boat and went ashore. The two leaders and four or five minions entered the gate without a plaque.

Someone led the way at the second gate, and then we came to the small courtyard along the east road.

There is a hall in the front of the courtyard. According to the agreement, only three people can enter the Anle Hall to serve.

This time, the second leader of Song Dynasty fulfilled his promise and called Lin Tai to come to the table. He did not let Dr. Lin continue to stand outside like a minion.

Lin Tailai sat on the seat and looked at the furnishings in the hall curiously. From a modern perspective, they were indeed "quaint".

Leader Song Er was secretly proud that everything was under control!

After you, a kid, have experienced the cross-class life tonight, you will definitely not be willing to be a little minion who can only stand outside the door.

"How do you feel, kid?" Song Quan couldn't help but ask.

Dr. Lin put aside his curiosity and answered with great predictability and wisdom: "According to my experience in reading films, in a negotiation like this, some things that no one wants to see will happen, and maybe one or two people will fail. leader."

The two leaders of Anletang: "."

Looking at Lin Tailai's physique that could punch a child, Uncle Song quickly warned: "Use your brain more and never act recklessly!"

At this moment, a dozen Yingying Yanyan walked into the hall, stood in a row facing the guests, said a blessing in unison, and raised their heads to accept the guests' inspection.

Lin Tailai was refreshed. In this strange place more than 400 years ago, he finally found a familiar scene!

However, after taking a closer look, Lin Tailai was greatly disappointed. This row of pink heads could only be regarded as attractive and could not catch his eye.

But Hall Master Lu and Uncle Song each ordered one and stayed to drink with them.

Lin Tailai subconsciously waved his hand skillfully, sighed as if he had learned a lot, and said half-heartedly: "Change a batch!"

Hall Master Lu and Uncle Song looked at Lin Tailai in surprise, something was wrong with him.

Not long after, a new row of birds came in. Lin Tai came to see them and found that the quality of these girls was much better.

I chose a girl with big eyes, small face, and fair complexion that I liked. She raised her finger skillfully and said calmly and concisely: "It's just you!"

Hall Master Lu and Uncle Song were both astonished. This boy Lin's posture seemed a bit too skillful and did not fit the character of a young boy who had never seen the world. Moreover, his vision was too high!

Didn't he know that the first batch of Fentou's accompanying wine only cost two yuan, but the price of the second batch was as high as five yuan?

"Deduct it from his monthly salary!" Hall Master Lu whispered to Song Quan through gritted teeth.

A little guy who earns one liang a month dares to order a girl who earns five liang!

An association like Anletang, whose main industry is collecting protection taxes, has to pay most of its income to the Yamen, and other gray income is limited.

The total profit in a year is only a few hundred taels. If we give monthly payments to the club members and subsidize the old men, there will be nothing left.

Using club funds to act as a high-roller is so abominable!

Song Quan was wondering whether he should persuade Lin Tailai to give up the five-dollar girl and replace him with one that better matched his status and financial situation.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a blue official robe and a short-winged hat strode in, interrupting Song Quan's intention.
