Otherworld Management Manual
Chapter 98 The novel experience of the horse thief
Entering Hongye City, Quick was taken aback.
The situation inside was completely different from what he had imagined.
Outside Hongye City, there are low city walls, potholed dirt roads, and dilapidated city gates.
But in Hongye City, there are clean and tidy streets, well-planned houses, air without any peculiar smell, and civilians with smiles on their lips.
This is not what a remote town should look like!
Quick was dumbfounded.
According to his information, Hongye City is the most remote city in Buck Kingdom, so remote that the king never paid attention to them and let them fend for themselves.
If it weren't for their horse thieves not suitable for exposure, they would all want to take this city.
Yes, Quick was a horse thief.
He is the supervisor among horse thieves.
His mission this time is to monitor the horse bandit pioneers who came to collect protection fees, and prevent them from getting the money and running away.
Although such things rarely happen, because the horse thieves know how miserable the end will be if they take money and run away, they must be on guard. After all, if people really want to run away, it will waste some time if they chase them down.
So there is a supervisor, which is a hidden profession among horse thieves.
Quick had been to many cities because of his career, but none of them gave him such a feeling—strange!
That's right, it's weird!
An unreasonable monster!
"How? Are you shocked?"
The tall middle-aged man next to him asked with some amusement.
He was no stranger to Quick's stunned look.
"Lam, why is Hongye City so clean?"
Looking at the clean street under his feet, Quick asked subconsciously.
In the cities he has been to, those streets are full of feces and urine, all kinds of ragged people are nestled in the corners, and occasionally noble lords pass by, and they will whip a few whips on these civilians,
No one dared to resist.
"Of course, this is the credit of the city lord. He specially set up a profession called cleaners. They clean the streets every day and prohibit anyone from littering on the streets. If they are found, they will be fined, so Hongye The city is so clean, isn't it amazing?"
Lamb explained with some pride, as if he had done it.
"Cut! What's the use of this!"
Quake's tone was a little sour.
In order to enter the city today, he specially wore high heels. He was really not used to this thing, but there was no other way. In order to avoid stepping on landmines, he could only do so.
But unexpectedly, the high heels seemed a little redundant today.
"Why is this useless? You may not know that various germs and viruses generally like to hide in relatively dirty places. If humans stay in such places for a long time, they may be infected with various diseases. In the early stage, the skin may be damaged. Itching, and then slowly festering and pus, and finally may be life-threatening!"
Lamb said loudly.
"How do you know? I don't believe in these nonsense!"
Quick's face was a little unnatural, because after what Lamb said, he felt a little itchy on his body.
"Hey, do you feel a little itchy on your body, let me tell you, this is the precursor of the disease!"
Lamb looked serious.
"what?"
Although Quick didn't believe what he said, seeing his serious expression, Quick still felt a little uneasy.
"But don't worry about it. Generally, you only need a very simple method to cure your situation?"
"what way?"
"bath!"
"Bath? No no no!"
What are you kidding, take a shower! Doesn't this make the condition worse!
It is impossible to take a bath, it is impossible in this life!
Quick howled inwardly.
Regarding Quick's performance, Lamb expected it, and he didn't say anything. He believed that Quick would turn around after a while.
Because that's how he came here before.
It's winter now, and the weather is a bit cold.
Quick had caught a cold recently, and he felt a mouthful of thick phlegm in his throat, and he was about to spit it out.
It was a bit late when Lamb found out, and seeing that there was no way to stop him, he hurriedly moved away from Quick, as if he didn't know him.
The same goes for everyone else in the caravan, moving away from Quick in an instant.
Quick was a little confused, so he spit out by himself, why did everyone run away?
"Hi sir, according to item 4, item 5, subsection 6, do you spit on the street at will? You have violated the law of Hongye City, and you will be fined one silver coin. If you have any comments, you can go to the city hall for consultation or complaints."
An aunt with a red armband appeared next to Quick at some point, gurgling a lot as if reciting a text.
Quick didn't understand the management regulations and the articles, but he understood the fine of one silver coin.
"Why, why can you fine me? Do you know who I am?"
It is impossible for Quick to pay the fine, who is he, he is a horse thief!
He was the only one who asked others for money, how could he give money to others!
"I don't care who you are, but if you don't pay me a fine, you can give it to them, but it's more than one silver coin."
Aunt Hongxiu pointed to a group of ten patrolling soldiers not far away.
That group of soldiers seemed to have noticed something was going on here, and they were walking towards here.
"I……"
Quick was a little nervous, and he put his hands on his waist subconsciously, but he assessed that he alone was definitely no match for these ten heavily armed soldiers.
"I give!"
Quick gritted his teeth, the scars on his eyebrows looked hideous.
A hero doesn't suffer immediate losses, he, Quick, will definitely come back with revenge.
After the aunt collected the fine, she didn't make it difficult for Quick, she cleaned up the thick phlegm herself.
At this time, Lamb returned to Quick, and said with some embarrassment:
"I'm sorry, I wanted to remind you to come, but it's too late. If we don't stay away from you, and you make some dangerous moves, we will be arrested by patrol soldiers as outlaws. Getting out of the prison is not as simple as a silver coin!"
Regarding Lamb's remarks, Quick snorted coldly and said nothing.
However, this incident also made him more curious about Hongye City. This Hongye City not only has strict laws, but also has strict guards. It is completely loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
In just a short while, he saw several teams of patrolling soldiers.
If he had just started, he would really be courting death.
"Haha, in order to express my apology, I invite you to dinner!"
Lamb is also a hospitable person, he patted Quick on the shoulder generously and said.
"it is good!"
Quick didn't refuse either, anyway, he won't eat for nothing.
Along the way, everything you see is clean and tidy.
There is also something called a trash can on the side of the road, which is specially used for people to put garbage.
There are even public restrooms!
The toilet is also commonly known as the toilet.
If he remembered well, it seemed that only castles had toilets, and the toilets in castles were not very popular, and they were usually settled nearby.
Everyone is afraid of trouble.
Why are people here so used to going to the bathroom for convenience?
fine!
In an instant, Quick understood that this must be the high-pressure policy implemented by the Lord of Hongye City! These civilians were forced to do this!
This city lord is definitely a strange person. He wants to impose his own strange ideas on these civilians. If he disagrees, he will be fined!
If you look at it this way, this city lord is absolutely unpopular, and he is also very rich!
After all, there are fines everywhere, one silver coin for spitting, which is even more profitable than a horse thief! You can get rich just by collecting fines!
The more Quick thought about it, the more he felt that Hongye City was really a good place.
A place suitable for horse thieves to plunder!
After all, there are no walls here.
Quake didn't pay attention to those adobe walls at all. With their horse thieves' riding skills, they could jump up such a small slope in the blink of an eye, without any difficulty at all.
Quick memorized the situation inside Hongye City and observed the layout inside. He wanted to provide the most important information for the horse thief's subsequent plunder.
As for the missing horse thieves, Quick no longer cared about them. No matter whether they died or ran away with the money, as long as the Red Leaf City was still here, the horse thieves would definitely not suffer!
Of course, Lamb didn't know what Quick was thinking along the way.
He also enthusiastically introduced the customs and customs of Hongye City to Quick.
Soon, a group of people came to Hongye Restaurant in Hongye City.
As soon as he walked to the door, Quick smelled a faint fragrance.
"This is……"
Quick thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what kind of food it was, and how it could be so delicious!
"Haha, this is the specialty of Hongye City - fish!"
"What? Fish? Can fish be eaten?"
Quick was taken aback.
"That's natural. Fish is not only edible, but also a very delicious food. I believe you will not be disappointed after eating it!"
Cook didn't believe Lamb's words, but since it was Lamb's treat, he didn't say anything, just watch it later, and it didn't cost him anyway.
As soon as you enter Hongye Restaurant, it's like entering another world.
As a horse thief, Quick was actually somewhat cautious.
In the eyes of others, this is impossible, but the fact is that it happened.
Because this restaurant looks really tall!
The high roof, the magnificent hall, all kinds of mysterious and complicated golden patterns, plus the huge floor-to-ceiling windows...
Quick had never seen such an atmospheric decoration.
He thought this restaurant was a tavern before, but now it seems that it is not the same thing at all.
Moreover, these people in the restaurant were all dressed in clean and tidy clothes, sat gracefully on their seats, and spoke softly when they spoke, and they couldn't even hear them talking, only the sound of clinking glasses.
At this time, a lady passed by Quick. She had a pretty face and no expression on her face. She was wearing delicate and slim clothes, showing her slim figure. She smelled the faint fragrance, which made Quick Absent.
"Hey Quick, don't look at it, this is Erica, the mayor, but the celebrity in front of the city lord is not yours to make up your mind!"
Lamb whispered into Quick's ear.
"I……"
Quick didn't know what to say. He even had a slight inferiority complex, thinking that he was not good enough for the other party. At that moment just now, he thought this was the princess of some country.
"This woman, I, Quick, will be determined!"
But after all, he was a horse thief, and Quick quickly adjusted his emotions. He even thought of the scene where he took this woman away when Hongye City was broken.
"Hey, another poor man who has been fascinated. If you see the wife of the mayor, you may be out of your body!"
Although Lamb was a little bit embarrassed, he was not surprised. This kind of thing happened often. After all, many outsiders who had never seen the world came to Hongye City recently.
A group of people sat at two tables, Lamb waved skillfully, and a female police officer came to him.
"Hi sir, what do you need?"
Before Quick could recover, he was stunned again when he saw the waiter.
Is this Hongye City rich in beauties?
In fact, this waitress was not considered a beauty based on her looks alone, but she had an aristocratic air against the backdrop of her clothes and mannerisms.
This made Quick wonder if this is some noble lady who ran out to experience life.
As a man, Lamb also appreciated it, but he didn't look at it too much. After all, these were women he couldn't get.
He didn't ask Quick what to eat, and ordered a few dishes directly.
"That's all for now."
"Okay sir, please wait a moment."
The waiter took the menu and left.
Lamb gave Quick a smile that any man could understand.
"How about it, the beauties in Hongye City are beautiful!"
"pretty!"
Quick answered truthfully.
"Hey, it's enough to have an eye addiction, anyway, they are all women you can't get!"
"..."
Seeing that Quick was a little absent-minded, Lamb didn't say anything more, and soon, plates of delicacies were served.
Quick's eyes were finally attracted.
"This is—fish?"
Quick was a little shocked.
"That's right, fish is a major feature of Hongye Restaurant, come and try it!"
Since no one here knows how to use chopsticks, all the restaurants prepare are knives and forks.
Quick held a knife and fork, and some didn't know where to start.
Currently, Lamb doesn’t care about Quaker any more. There is a time limit for eating at Hongye Restaurant. After all, for the aboriginal residents here, they can get a 20% discount, and for civil servants, they can even get a 40% discount. Hongye Restaurant Often full.
after an hour.
Quick came out leaning on the wall.
"Quick, you are really too edible!"
Lamb felt a little regretful. If he had known about it, he would not have invited Quick to dinner. Since he said he would invite him, the other party was not full, so you can't pay the bill. You can only wait until Quick is full.
I ate three silver coins from Lamb for this meal, my heart aches!
"Hehe, more treats!"
Quick never thought that fish could be so delicious. When he returned, he must tell the leader to catch fish!
"Quick, there is another good place in Hongye City, not much better than Hongye Restaurant, do you want to go?"
Lamb asked suddenly.
"Oh? There's still a good place! Of course we have to go!"
Quick originally thought that Hongye Restaurant was the only good place in Hongye City, but he didn't expect it to exist. Could it be another restaurant?
Although he was already full, Quick didn't mind being fuller.
"Ahem, well, I don't have enough funds..."
Of course, Lamb is not short of funds, but wants Quick to invite him.
"How much will it cost for the two of us?"
Quick looked at Lamb warily. As a horse thief, he was very cautious about gold coins.
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, the service is different at different prices, a few copper coins are enough for the cheap ones, and a silver coin is the most expensive one."
Hearing Lamb's explanation, Quick was relieved.
As long as the consumption is less than one silver coin, he can still afford it.
As for the tasks of finding those horse thieves and investigating the situation of Hongye City's defenses, he selectively ignored them. At least today, there was no way to complete them.
"Then what exactly are you talking about..."
Quick was a little curious.
"You will know when you wait!"
Lamb made a fool of himself, and after sending his subordinates away, he brought Quick to a steaming house.
As soon as you enter the door, you can feel the thick heat.
"This……"
"This is the bathhouse."
"Bathroom? Take a shower!"
Quick was startled, and was about to leave without thinking.
But he was pulled back by Lamb.
"Hey, what are you running, taking a bath is a very comfortable thing!"
The Lamb was tall and burly, and Quick couldn't break free from his grasp.
"Lord Lamb, what do you mean!"
Quick was a little upset. Being exposed to water would weaken his immune system and even make him sick, so he didn't want to take a bath.
"Hey, it's really comfortable, I won't lie to you, and it's good to take more baths, really!"
Seeing Quick's expression of disbelief, Lamb said again:
"How about this, I'll wash it, you can take a look inside, if you don't want to wash it, no one will force you."
Quick thought for a moment, then agreed.
He is also very curious, what kind of magical power does this bathhouse or this Hongye City have, that it can make people not afraid of water!
After the two of them entered, the moist heat rushed towards their faces, instantly warming them up.
"Come on, the men's bathhouse is here, and the women's bathhouse is over there."
Lamb pointed to the other side. Both of them were curious about the women's bathhouse next door. After all, it was a man, but it was a pity that the traffic was so tight that they didn't see anything.
There was a male waiter who came to receive the two of them. Quick said he was just looking around, but the waiter didn't say anything. After all, many outsiders are hostile to water.
He brought the two of them to the hall, where some well-dressed people sat and whispered to each other.
They are all very curious about the bathhouse, but they are a little afraid of the water, so they just went outside to check the situation.
Because they are all men, there is nothing to be shy about. There is a half curtain between the hall and the bathhouse at the back, which not only functions as a partition of the space, but also allows people to see the situation in the bathhouse.
Quick took a look, and the bathhouses inside were just pools, big and small, all different.
Lamb took off his clothes and went straight down into a large pool.
Someone even came over to help him rub his back.
Seeing his comfortable appearance, Quick was a little puzzled, is it really comfortable to take a bath?
In his memory, the last time he took a bath was a year ago. If it wasn't for the murder, he would never have taken a bath if he was stained with too much blood.
He recalled now that the feeling of bathing in the river was just one word - cold!
Doesn't it feel different to take a bath with hot water?
Quick saw a lot of people showing comfortable expressions when they got out of the water, so he couldn't help but doubt himself.
At this time, a waiter came over, he came to the hall, and said loudly:
"Hi everyone, it's time for the daily science popularization again. Today's science popularization is still water..."
This person was naturally arranged by Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng couldn't bear the fact that everyone in Hongye City was buzzing, and besides, opening a bathhouse could make a lot of money.
It is a popular science, but there is nothing in-depth. It is just a brief introduction to water, and then through a few short stories-someone who was seriously ill at first, but healed immediately after taking a bath.
The story is a bit exaggerated, but after the waiter told it vividly, people can't help but believe it immediately.
After listening to it, everyone fell into deep thought, and some even felt eager to try it.
Quick couldn't hold back his curiosity, he gritted his teeth and said:
"That, server, waiter, I'll try it too!"
"Okay sir, what price do you need, we have..."
"Let's just get a normal one, the one with fifty copper coins."
"Okay, but since you are here for the first time, according to the regulations, you can only use the single-person bath, so our price will increase by 20%, which means that you need 60 copper coins."
"You... forget it, sixty is sixty!"
Quick thought he had been slaughtered, but he didn't care, it was only sixty copper coins, which he could afford, and besides, the Red Leaf City would be captured by their horse thieves in a short time, and all the money spent would be paid Take it back!
But it wasn't until the actual wash that Quick realized why he was left alone.
Quick watched the water in the bath change from clear to cloudy.
Even turned into mud.
Looking at other people's crystal-clear pool, Quick, who is a horse thief, blushed in a rare way, embarrassed.
...
"Quick, let me just say, taking a bath is very comfortable!"
At the entrance of the bathhouse, Lamb and Quick came out together.
Quick nodded in agreement, now he feels light all over his body, this is not simply a bath, but cleansing his body of lead!
"Then shall we go to the tavern?"
Lamb invited.
"No."
Quick shook his head.
Originally, he planned to go to the tavern. He had always heard that the wine here was very special, which he had never heard of before, but now after taking a bath, Quick suddenly became sober. He was a horse thief, and he didn't come to enjoy it. But to investigate the situation!
As long as you can occupy this Red Leaf City, are you afraid you won't be able to enjoy it?
"Okay, then I'll go by myself."
Lamb didn't say anything when he saw this, and he went to the tavern alone.
Quick watched him leave.
...
Two hours later.
After various inquiries and speculations, Quick confirmed that the four horse thieves were dead.
Many soldiers had seen the four corpses in the Black Stone Forest, and it was impossible for them to pass by, and Zhang Feng did not let them hide it.
"Those pioneers are indeed dead!"
Although he guessed this possibility, after confirming the news, Quick's expression was still ugly.
The death of the four pioneers means that his leader will be furious, and he may even be affected, unless he can bring better news to the leader—for example, Hongye City is a rich city with no defense !
"No, I have to leave and report this news and the situation in Hongye City to the leader!"
At night, the gates of Hongye City will be closed. Although these adobe walls can't stop him, he doesn't want to cause trouble.
Quick disappeared into the crowd.
At the same time, Lamb quietly came to the third floor of the tavern.
