Chapter 16 Chapter 121 Strange Street

Xia Xun quietly entered Zhuozhou City without notifying the government, and only stayed in an inn, and then sent a calm guard to the prefect's yamen to inquire about the situation, while the other guards were on vacation and went to play in the city.Xia Xun also kept a few guards by his side, and when the shift changed at night, he would tell them to go have a good time. Xia Xun called for hot water to wash and take a bath, and came out refreshed. Seeing that the guard who had gone to the government office to inquire about the news had not returned, he changed into a light and comfortable robe, and led a few personal guards out the door.

In the past, Xia Xun used to be annoyed by those important people who crowded around and blocked streets and blocked roads whenever they went out. The policemen who were rarely seen were everywhere, and all the red lights along the way were out of order. There are huge crowds of people, just waiting for the public servant of the people to rush past, so if he has to, he doesn't like to be ostentatious, so that he can feel relieved physically and mentally wherever he walks, so why bother the people. Zhuozhou is a famous historical city. Since Zhuo County was established in Qin Dynasty, Zhuo County was established in Han Dynasty, and Fanyang County was established in Wei Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms.Emperor Zhaolie of Han Dynasty Liu Bei, Marquis of Han Huan Zhang Fei, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, Eastern Han Dynasty official Lu Zhi, Sixth Patriarch Huineng, Northern Wei geographer Li Daoyuan, Tang Dynasty famous poets Lu Zhaolin, Jia Dao, etc., among them the most famous natural It is the Lu family with five surnames and seven Wangs in the Tang Dynasty.

Where there are many scenic spots, there are many literati who arrange seats and make eight or ten scenic spots.Zhuozhou is no exception. There are also eight scenic spots here, such as clearing the needles and dredging rain, Lousang at spring evening, moon pool autumn wind, Hu Liang Xiaoyue, Long'an emerald green, chalk valley with clouds, Panpo sunset, Fangshan clear snow, etc., Xia Xun Walking in the city, there was an idler named Huang Si'er, who could tell from his appearance that he was from another place, and hurriedly stepped forward to flatter him, and described all these scenery one by one, hoping to attract guests to visit and get a few words to guide the way. money.

Xia Xun also found it interesting to hear this. He knew that since the Tang and Song Dynasties, there had been many idle men who specialized in doing various chores in the city to make a living, but he didn't know that they also had jobs as tour guides. After a while, Xia Xun wanted to go and see it until his mouth was dry. It's just that some of these scenery are only beautiful at the corresponding time or climate, and some are dozens of miles away from the city. Wanting to relax, he would not go so far, so he asked someone to give Huang Si a few pennies, and sent him away with a smile.

As soon as Huang Si saw that the customer was generous enough, he left without hesitation, and said, "Since the customer doesn't want to leave the city, there is a beautiful scenery nearby. That is, in the northeast of the city, there is a temple with two tall towers inside. It is called Shuangta Qingyan.It is said that the twin pagodas were built by a pair of skillful sisters-in-law, and it only took one night. When the pagodas are viewed on a sunny day, it seems that there are a few green smoke rising from the top of the pagodas. Xia Xun smiled and said: "I heard you say it's so miraculous, so let's go and have a look."

In fact, the pagoda was built in the Liao Dynasty, and the surrounding scenery is quite impressive, but it is much worse than what the idle man said.The scenery in this world is like this in nine out of ten cases. It is better to hear it than to see it a hundred times. It is like a fairyland in the world when you hear it or read it in a book. Fortunately, Xia Xun was here to relax, but he was not picky. He listened to what Huang Si said, and just walked around with a smile on his face.Seeing that this young man was so talkative, Huang Si was still a little afraid to see him accompanied by several burly men, but at this moment his mind became active.

Seeing that it was noon, Huang Si said, "Do you want some food around here, my lord?"There are some snacks here, which have a special flavor. Xia Xun's subordinates were all big-bellied men, and they were already a little hungry. Xia Xun also felt a little hungry, so he nodded and said, "Sure, you lead the way. As long as the food is delicious, I will give you a few more." Wen reward money. Huang Si couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this, so he led the way and led Xia Xun to a restaurant. Seeing that the restaurant was not big, and there were not many people there during the meal, it was very deserted. Xia Xun frowned unconsciously, feeling a little inappropriate.He didn't want to put on a show here. In all honesty, many delicious dishes are really just for show. They are not as good as the unrefined street food in his mouth. Xia Xun really wants to try Taste the local flavor, but a restaurant does not see a few customers during the meal, I am afraid that the taste of the food

When the shopkeeper saw the guests, he was extremely enthusiastic. He quickly gave up his seat, poured a few bowls of warm tea that had lost its taste, and graciously asked Xia Xun to order.The recipes are hanging above the counter. The names of the dishes are mostly elegant. The people Xia Xun brought were all strong men, and they couldn't eat without the dishes. Xia Xun actually ordered several times. The owner of the small shop beamed with joy, put on his apron excitedly, and went. Look at the appearance, the owner of the shop is also a chef. That Huang Si did not eat with them, and the guards would not allow him to serve. Huang Si bought a set of donkey meat from across the street, and stood at the intersection to eat it. He said hello and politely called Huang Siye, and Huang Si hesitated and agreed.Those who greeted him, judging from their looks and expressions, were also street ruffians.

Lao Ping saw this situation in his eyes, and said to Xia Xun: Duke, I'm afraid this Huang Si'er is not a good idea. Xia Xun smiled and said: "Come out to relax, whatever you want, I'm tired of walking, as long as the food is still good, I will bring you a good meal in the evening."This Huang Si'er is probably a bit bullying that we are foreigners, but this is not the wilderness, and it will not be a black shop that makes human meat buns Just as he was talking, the boss came out of the back kitchen after serving two dishes, with his thumb stuck in the vegetable soup, dripping dripping, it was not ugly.

Seeing him like this, Xia Xun frowned, and seeing the dish again, Xia Xun frowned even more, and asked: "Shop, did I order these two dishes?" The shopkeeper said with a charming smile: Yes, guest officer, this is the mother-child meeting and Qinglong lying in the snow that you ordered. Xia Xun looked down at the plate of fried bean sprouts with soybeans and the tofu residue with a small slice of pickled cucumber on it, and asked, "How much are these two dishes?" The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Guest officer, look at what you said, the meal is not finished yet, why count it as an account, when the dishes are ready and you are full, just count it together."

Xia Xun continued to ask: How much are these two dishes? The shopkeeper stopped laughing, and said with a tense face: "Mother and child meet three hundred Wen, Qinglong Crouching Snow five hundred Wen." Xia Xun took a breath, and said to the dumbfounded old man beside him: "Old man, I'm afraid we can't do whatever we want!" As soon as Xia Xun's words fell, the old man jumped up, grabbed the shopkeeper by the collar, and yelled: "Fuck you, I'm bullying you!" Ouch, Ouch, you foreigners, why do you still want to bully others?The folks in the village and the neighbors in the neighborhood all came to see, the strangers are bullying others! As soon as the shopkeeper shouted, several people rushed in from outside the store. Judging by the speed and posture, it was obvious that he was already prepared. The old spray didn't even look at the few people rushing in from outside, and just raised his hands to slap a few people. Scratching his ears, he cursed loudly: I will ask you to meet your mother and son!I call you Qinglong Woxue!Will your mother!Lying on your mother! Lao Ping beat him as he talked, and slapped the shopkeeper until he lost all his teeth, his face was swollen, and his mouth was covered with blood. What's the matter, why did they start fighting when they were fine? Seeing this, Huang Si hurriedly squeezed into the crowd, and the shopkeeper immediately cried out: "Master Huang, these villains want to eat bully food and bully others!" Huang Si still wanted to talk, but Xia Xun was not willing to chat with him, his face sank, and he shouted: If you don't lose your interest, you will all go to the government! Xia Xun gave an order, and the guards around him immediately jumped up. Although those rascals were also able to play tricks, they couldn't compare to the veterans of hundreds of battles. In a short while, they were all thrown to the ground with bruised noses and swollen faces. The restaurants were also smashed to pieces.Huang Si saw that he was beating people like this, and he still had no fear of going to a lawsuit with them locals, knowing that he had encountered a difficult problem, he couldn't help but secretly regretted his mistake. Lao Teng and his men searched out the ropes from the house, tied the rogues into a string and dragged them to the yamen. Xia Xun also walked behind, asking all the way, and when he reached the prefect's yamen, he saw a horse Come on a fast horse, the horse is like flying, and shouted loudly: Get out of the way!Get out of the way! Xia Xun took a closer look, and couldn't help being surprised. Although the man changed into casual clothes immediately, he had just seen him, so how could he not recognize him? This man was clearly Yin Shenghui, the thousand householders in brocade clothes he had seen in the suburbs. Yin Shenghui and his subordinates were originally tied into the city by the official named Xiao Zujie, saying that they were going to be thrown into prison, but only a few hours later, this Yin Shenghui unexpectedly appeared on the street boldly. Xia Xun dodged by the side of the road, watching that Yin Shenghui ran down the south city, whipping his whip like an inch.He turned back full of suspicion, and was about to ask someone to send those hooligans who blackmailed the guests into the government office first, when he saw several people coming on fast horses, and one of them was the one he had sent to the government to inquire about the news bodyguard. There were so many people standing there in Xia Xun, why couldn't the guard see him? When he saw him from afar, he said something to an official who was by his side. After hearing this, the official looked at Xia Xun, The horse was still seven or eight zhang away, so he reined in and dismounted, and hurried up to meet him. Seeing that he was going to salute, Xia Xun quickly stopped him and said: "My country's official came here in low clothes, so don't salute in the street." Yes Yes Yes!The official quickly stopped his kneeling posture, and said respectfully: "I am the official judge of Zhuozhou, Zhao Zijin, I have seen the Duke!" The guard also rushed over, and seeing several companions standing there with several people tied up, one of them was still wearing a cooking apron with oily twists, he couldn't help wondering: "What's the matter?" The old man told the cause and effect, then Zhao Tong would not be angry at all, and he would beat the prince on the head of the country. Isn't this trying to die?Gritting his teeth with hatred, Zhao Tongpan immediately asked a patrol inspector who came with him to escort those rogues back to the government office for rectification. Those rogues were frightened when they heard that this good-tempered young man who was always smiling turned out to be a prince. The decency seemed to be sifting through the chaff, Huang Si'er was dragged by someone, the hem of his short robe was dripping wet, and he peed on his trousers in fright. When those people were taken away, Zhao Tongpan immediately said to Xia Xun: "My lord, this is not a place to talk. Should I find a quiet place and let the officials report one by one?"Don't worry, the Duke of the country, the news of your presence here is only known to the lower officials, and it is not known to your colleagues in Zhuozhou. Xia Xun was wondering why Yin Shenghui, who had just been taken down by force, appeared on the street in such a good manner, and what happened to Xiao Zujie and Yin Shenghui. Of course, these things cannot be asked on the street. Then nodded, Zhao Zijin was overjoyed, and hurriedly led Xia Xun to go respectfully
