"Young lady, you may not know this, but although the Yue family has only moved here a year ago, they wield considerable influence. Just their music hall alone knows everything that's going on in the world. I've heard that the bigger and more powerful a family is, the more secretive their affairs are. If you offend the Yue family and they reveal something, wouldn't that be a greater loss than a gain?"
As the waiter spoke, he looked around cautiously again, which left Mo Lan speechless. Even if Le Lou was powerful, he couldn't be so insidious.
"You're very wary of Lelou?"
"Please excuse my rudeness, young lady. It's not that I'm afraid, but our manager said that the people from the music troupe are everywhere. Only in this way can we gather information widely."
"Therefore, as long as Le Lou stands, no one will dare to provoke the Yue family; it's too dangerous."
As the waiter spoke, he wiped non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.
"There's another point. The Yue family has a little tyrant named Yue Qun, who is one of the four great street bullies. He bullies men and women, does all sorts of evil, and is fearless. No one in the entire Jiang County dares to provoke him."
Street-cleaning tiger?
For a playboy, this nickname is quite fitting.
However, listening to Xiao Er's explanation, Mo Lan didn't deny it. Le Lou's business was intelligence gathering, so naturally, they had informants everywhere. Unless absolutely necessary, no one wanted to make enemies of Le Lou.
Let alone aristocratic families, even ordinary people, big and small, all have some shady thoughts and secrets that can't be exposed. Once they are exposed, not only will their reputation be damaged, but they may also implicate things that shouldn't be implicated, which would be the most fatal thing.
"You seem to know quite a lot, so clever. Isn't it a waste of your talent to be a waiter?"
"Hehe... Please excuse my poor appearance, young lady. Our Fengqiao Restaurant serves only the rich and powerful. The more you see, the more knowledgeable you become."
Hearing Mo Lan's teasing tone, the waiter chuckled awkwardly. Cats have their ways, and dogs have theirs. Don't underestimate them just because they're waiters. Whenever a customer wants to ask something, they're the first people the customer thinks of.
As long as the information is useful to the customers, they can receive a lot of tips, and they are taking a lot of risks to support their families.
"You're right, you're very knowledgeable."
Mo Lan nodded, recalling what Xiao Er had mentioned about Yue Qun. She had heard from Han Shuang that she had killed Yue Dewen's most valued son. So where did this Yue Qun come from?
"That Yue Qun sounds like a good-for-nothing playboy, and he's one of the Four Great Street Scoundrels. There should be three more, right?"
"The other three are also not to be trifled with. Among them are the young prince of the Ji family, the fourth young master of the Wang family, and the sixth young master of the Wei family. Yue Qun is in cahoots with these three. He spends his days walking his cat and dog and harassing respectable women. He is known by the people as the Four Tigers of the Streets."
As soon as these four people set out on the street, young women and wives would hide or flee, and even small vendors would pack up and go home, afraid of getting into trouble and causing chaos in their homes.
"It seems these four have caused a lot of harm to the people."
Mo Lan stroked the pointer, her eyes bright. She hadn't expected Jiang County to be so murky, with royal relatives, martial arts families, and all sorts of people mixed together. But the more murky it was, the more suitable it was for them to survive.
“What you say is true, young lady. Even if they are bullied, they dare not speak out. They can only avoid them because they can’t afford to offend them. You should be careful of these four when you go out in the future.”
The waiter glanced at Mo Lan and Han Shuang. Although they didn't look like ordinary people, there's a saying...
Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake!
