Chapter 603 Pei Sheng
Thinking about this, he picked up the teapot and poured some for Pei Sheng:
"That's exactly what I meant."
After the tea was poured, Pei Sheng couldn't wait to pick it up and take a sip. Immediately, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed that it was good tea.
"Brother Pei, I see that you have an extraordinary demeanor. I guess you come from a big family, right?"
Lin Xiaofan asked knowingly.
"I come from the Pei family, which is not a big family, but I am quite famous in Midnight City."
Pei Sheng answered modestly.
"Brother Pei, you are too modest. I am more interested in food, but I am new here and don't know much about the city. I wonder if Brother Pei has any restaurant to recommend?"
Lin Xiaofan continued to inquire.
Hearing this, Pei Sheng shook his head slightly and said:
"No."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan was a little surprised, but then he was relieved. It seems that the restaurant in Midnight City is not under the management of the Pei family.
"If you believe me, then I'll say one more thing. The restaurants in the city are all glitz and glamour, but rotten inside. Not only is the food mediocre, but it's also expensive. I recommend going to a few restaurants on Zhoubao Street in the north of the city. The food there is really delicious, and the price is fair and affordable."
Pei Sheng spoke up.
"How could that be? Brother Pei, if the food in most restaurants is bad, then it's understandable, but how come all the restaurants in the city are bad?"
Lin Xiaofan's face was full of disbelief.
Pei Sheng heard this and shook his head slightly. He leaned over and whispered, "To be honest, all the restaurants in this city are owned by the Song family."
He took a sip of tea and continued, "The Song family manages the entire restaurant industry in the city. Previously, there were several businessmen who wanted to open restaurants in the city, but the people of the Song family went to the restaurant every now and then to cause trouble, which ruined the restaurant's reputation. Customers dared not go there, and finally they had to close down."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan frowned and said indignantly, "Then this Song family is really a piece of shit. Instead of improving the taste of their own food, they go and smash other people's doorplates."
"Hey, it's useless to improve it. A meal in his restaurant costs 20 to 30 taels of silver. How can ordinary restaurants be so expensive? So as long as other restaurants can open, no matter how good the price is or not, people will definitely not go to his Song family to eat."
"The Song family has done a lot of bad things. Those playboys bully men and women on a daily basis. It was only after the governor of Zhaocang took office that they calmed down a little."
When Pei Sheng mentioned this, he shook his head repeatedly, seeming to be very dissatisfied.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan couldn't help but cross out the Song family in his mind. Pei family affairs couldn't be learned from Pei Sheng, so the next one was the Gong family.
He had walked around most of the city center today. Apart from restaurants, the most profitable things in the city should be various gold and silver jewelry. He then asked:
"What about the gold and silver jewelry stores in the city?"
"If you are interested, you can go shopping. These shops are not overcharging customers."
After Pei Sheng savored a cup of tea, he consciously refilled himself with another cup.
"Then this store owner has a conscience."
Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly.
Hearing this, Pei Sheng chuckled and then said:
"Sir, you are wrong. They don't overcharge customers, not because of conscience. Think about it, sir. Those who can afford gold, silver and jewelry are not ordinary people. If they sell them too expensively, they can just ask someone to buy them in other cities. In this case, won't the store get nothing?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly, thinking that he was lucky. After talking about the two industries, he found out about the Gong family and the Song family respectively.
"Brother Pei, you can't be so arbitrary, right? Maybe the store owner really has a conscience. You can't say for sure about this kind of thing."
Lin Xiaofan pretended to be confused.
Hearing this, Pei Sheng smiled sarcastically, leaned over, and whispered:
"No. Sir, these gold, silver and jewelry stores are all owned by the Gong family in the city. According to me, in the past thirty years, the taxes paid by the Gong family have been less than one tenth. How can such a family be any better?"
"And as far as I know, the young master of the Gong family forced a decent woman to death a few days ago."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan and Feng Sheng frowned and then asked:
"Sir, please explain in detail."
"Just ask around in the city. Many people know about this. I won't say much, to avoid being spread around and slandering their family behind their backs."
Pei Sheng shook his head, seemingly unwilling to talk about this topic.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan laughed in his heart, haven’t you said enough?
In other words, Pei Sheng had almost finished the tea in the teapot while he was talking. Lin Xiaofan picked up the teapot to get himself a refill, but he suddenly lifted the teapot up a lot.
The main reason was that Feisheng drank too fast and had already finished three cups in a short while.
As the two looked at each other, Pei Sheng put down the teacup and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.
"No problem, waiter, give me another pot."
Lin Xiaofan, with a lavish appearance, came to Pei Sheng's rescue. This time, Pei Sheng hardly drank at all, it was Feng Sheng and Lin Xiaofan who were drinking. After chatting for more than half an hour, the two of them were a little bored and prepared to leave.
"Would you like to come to our Pei family as a guest?"
Pei Sheng still felt a little guilty, because that pot of tea was not cheap.
"No, Brother Pei, we still have some things to do today. If we have time tomorrow, we will definitely go to the Pei family to visit Brother Pei."
Lin Xiaofan said. It is still uncertain whether to deal with the Pei family on this trip. If I continue to live in their house, it will be difficult to take action in the future.
"Haha, if you encounter any problems, you can also come to the Pei family to find me. In this Midnight City, I can still say a few words."
Pei Sheng did not try to persuade him to stay and said goodbye.
After they separated, Lin Xiaofan and Fengsheng went shopping at the local gold and silver jewelry store. The prices were indeed similar to those outside, so they bought quite a lot. When they returned home, it was already afternoon, and Ying Er was already waiting at the door.
"How are things going?" Lin Xiaofan asked.
"Your Excellency, I sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion at night and handed the letter directly to Zhao Cang. He asked me to stay for a while and wrote you a letter in reply."
Ying Er took out the letter from his arms.
[The three major families are not very good, but they are fighting openly and secretly. The Pei family is the largest, and the Song family and the Gong family have a vague trend of forming an alliance. Starting with the Pei family is relatively simple.
But the Pei family is not a good family either. Not only do they evade taxes, but their family members also run brothels. Not to mention the other two families. Before I came, they were involved in several murders every year. 】
After reading the letter, Lin Xiaofan was not surprised. In the current environment of Daqian, few of these big families are clean. The situation of the Pei family is relatively good.
Moreover, given Pei Sheng's elegant and gentlemanly character, if he could take over the Pei family in the future, he would not do anything unjust.
In general, the information Zhao Cang brought was similar to what he had found out and what he had guessed. Next, it would depend on what Ying Yi said.
