Yangzhou is located in the central part of Jiangsu Province, on the northern bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and at the southern end of the Jianghuai Plain. It is one of the best big cities. You can see the outline of the city from afar. Before you even enter the city, there are endless business teams outside the walls, and there are also many trading places outside the city, showing a prosperous situation.
There are many police officers and officials guarding the city gate.Zhang Xiaofan, who came here, didn't think it was because Yangzhou City had a lot of money and a lot of trouble, so the gates were strictly guarded.
At this time, the monkey Xiaohui was sitting on his shoulders, followed by Yun'er. At this time, Axiang, Aping and Cai Yi were both resting in the foreign land. Xiao Meiniang and Zhang Lihua and her daughter did not dare to come out because of their sensitive identities, so only Zhang Xiaofan and Yun'er came out to play together.
As soon as Zhang Xiaofan and Yun'er entered the city gate, a group of people gathered in front of a large wall and talked endlessly on the street opposite the city.
Zhang Xiaofan and Yun'er came up to look curiously. It turned out to be just a notice that it was Zhang's notice, which read: According to the order of the prefect of Yangzhou, there have been rampant in the city recently. In order to indeed investigate the suspects, merchants and travelers were allowed to enter the city according to the law, and were not allowed to leave the city.
Zhang Xiaofan was a little surprised and said: Only in and not out?How can this make sense?
Yun'er was also very surprised and said: This is ridiculous!
A city man next to him said: There is nothing wrong with this. Recently, Yangzhou city has been too uneasy, and there are stolen and exterminated families everywhere.How could you choose Ah at this time?
Yun'er said: The public security is not good, so the government should arrest people. It is forbidden for everyone to leave the city. Isn't this treating Yangzhou City as a large prison cell and all are locked up?
The city people smiled, and walked away without commenting.
Zhang Xiaofan said: If we really want to leave, those officers and soldiers can't stop us, don't pay attention to this notice.
Yun'er nodded and said: Well, I'm hungry, let's find somewhere to eat.
Zhang Xiaofan had no objection. The two of them looked for places to stay on the street. Along the way, there were shops on both sides, including sharpening shops, wine and meat shops, weapons shops, pawn shops, north-south goods, and inns. All kinds of shops were crowded and busy.
Zhang Xiaofan passed by several small inns, but Yun'er ignored her. Zhang Xiaofan just thought she wanted to go shopping, so he patiently accompanied her.
The monkey Xiaohui jumped on Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder, obviously loving this kind of lively and prosperous life.
After walking a few streets, I saw a notice on the wall, saying: I found out that there was a female thief group who was a thief, but she was unable to tell the truth, and she stole everywhere and committed many evil deeds.This order was issued specially, and those who have reported the news secretly were rewarded with 200 taels of silver.
Zhang Xiaofan said: Look, even women in Yangzhou City have committed crimes!
Yun'er said: This is really special. I thought the female thief was found in the legend of the Tang Dynasty!
The two continued to wander around casually. Zhang Xiaofan saw a sharp-eyed look and saw the third big notice posted next to the side wall of the medicine shop. It was very conspicuous, but it was a little broken. It reads: Yangzhou County Magistrate’s order, strictly imposes a curfew, and idle people are prohibited from going to the evening. Violators are detained for three days and fined 30 taels of silver.Those who violate the public's knowledge and do not report the thief's feelings will be fined 300 taels of silver.Those who spit or urinate anywhere will be fined twenty taels of silver.Those who hinder official duties will be fined 100 taels of silver.Those who gather to gamble will be fined 300 taels of silver.If a dog is escorted, a penalty of ten taels of silver will be fined.
Zhang Xiaofan was even more surprised and said: Yun'er, look, the Yangzhou County Magistrate posted all these as notices, I wonder what the meaning is?
Yun'er became more and more displeased as she looked at her, and said: I said this county magistrate is an incompetent person!It’s just that I can’t manage anything well that I have to declare his power in this way!Look, they will never catch the flying thief!Since Yun'er followed Zhang Xiaofan, her depressedness has been greatly reduced in her short days, and she doesn't have to be as dignified and virtuous as a lady from a wealthy family. At this time, she is becoming more and more straightforward, which makes Zhang Xiaofan like it very much.
Zhang Xiaofan said: I don’t know if he can catch it, but it’s really annoying to post notices everywhere like this.
Yun'er said: Anyway, we will leave after we have enough rest, and we don't have to stay in this city.That inn looks pretty good, let's go!
Zhang Xiaofan looked in the direction she pointed, and then he realized that what the wealthy family called Yun'er, who found a place to eat, refers to the largest restaurant and inn in Yangzhou, standing in the most lively area in the center of the city. Those who came in and out were all wealthy people in brocade clothes and grosgrain.
Zhang Xiaofan and Yun'er entered the store and asked for a room (Zhang Xiaofan usually doesn't live in a foreign land, mainly because it's too quiet and there are too few people. Zhang Xiaofan is not used to it. Yun'er is now out, so naturally he lives with Zhang Xiaofan). He waited for a banquet at a table. Zhang Xiaofan followed Yun'er's habit. He was originally a very easy-going person. Whether it's hardship or wealth, for him, freedom and freedom are the most important.
While eating, they listened to the rich businessmen at the next table talking: Recently, the female flying thief has been too rampant. I heard that all the stolen things are priceless, and she doesn’t want them at the secondary level!Alas, I have made many people's heirlooms without a trace overnight. I am really worried about Ah...
Another person said angrily: The prefect of Yangzhou is incompetent and stupid, no wonder he cannot accumulate power!No one is afraid of the sluts, so why doesn’t public security deteriorate day by day?
It would be fine if the prefect is incompetent, but his subordinates are all flatterers and have no available materials. It is really a dream to make a difference!
Yun'er said: Look, I'm right?
Zhang Xiaofan smiled and said: Yes, it's very right.
The merchants said again: As soon as the new prefect took office, he was clearly from a small family. He had never seen money in his life. He wanted any small amount of money and was punished here and there all day long; tsk!It's so funny!
Another person said: Don’t look at him greedy for such small profits, it’s a big deal to add up all day. I said that during his tenure in the past few years, he can get enough food!
Someone said: There are rumors in Beijing that now ordinary county magistrates can buy two thousand taels of silver, six hundred taels of silver per division, and two hundred taels of silver to buy a police seat. Such capital can be recycled in one day as a county magistrate, and all of them will be made in the future. There is such a cost-effective business in the world!
The wealthy businessman smiled and said, "I'll go out of the city tomorrow, and I'll buy a seat as a county magistrate to have fun."
Alas, if you don’t catch the thief, you will set so many bans!Is this county magistrate going to deal with the people or the thief Ah?
During the meal between Zhang Xiaofan and Yun'er, the tables around him talked about the terror of the thief and the evil figures of the government. It can be seen that these are the two major hatreds of the residents in Yangzhou City, and the harm to the people may not be less than that of monsters.
After the two of them, Yun'er rested in the room, while Zhang Xiaofan was practicing Taoism by himself.
He sometimes recalled the sword technique in the room, sometimes got up and made a picture. The sword stabbed out casually. With a sneer, a sharp sword energy broke through the window, and a scream came from outside immediately.
Zhang Xiaofan was afraid of hurting people, so he pushed the door out. Outside the room was one of the wealthy businessmen at the next table while eating. He had been holding a green bag tightly, and at this time he was even hugging it tightly, his face turned pale and unable to move.
The flowerbed guardrail in front of him was cut by sword energy, and the flat cut was shocking. If the wealthy businessman had taken a quick step, he would have had a hole in his leg.
Zhang Xiaofan said: This boss, are you okay?
Ah, Ah!The rich businessman came to his senses, forced out a smile, and said: It's okay, it's okay, hero, you... are you practicing martial arts?
Zhang Xiaofan grabbed his head embarrassedly and said: I'm sorry for disturbing you accidentally.
Where, where, I'm fine, I'm fine.The rich businessman was about to leave, but stopped again and said with a smile: Alas... little brother...
What's up?
You... are still very young, what are you doing in Yangzhou City?Whole goods?Looking for a girl?
Zhang Xiaofan said: No, none of them, um...just passing by...
Passing by Ah.The rich businessman didn't know what he was thinking, and said: The lady who was walking with you...?
She is resting.
Oh... After a while, the wealthy businessman said: The house you live in is the top in Yangzhou City, and even I can't bear to live with it. It's such a big deal. How many ranks should the officials in the government pay?Where is it higher?I also want to ask you to promote it!
Zhang Xiaofan doesn't like people who take advantage of the situation and get into trouble when they have the chance, so he just smiled slightly and said: It's good that you were not injured. I accidentally alarmed you. Sorry, good night.
Zhang Xiaofan walked aside and was about to go back to the room when he was stunned because he saw three rogues surrounding a woman sitting at the table.
The woman looked charming, her skin was extremely white, her clothes were extremely smooth, and she seemed to reveal half of her shoulders intentionally or unintentionally. She was tied with a soft silk on her end, and her eyes were charming. Anyone would feel excited when she saw it.
But the siege of the three rogues obviously made her impatient.All the three of them were not handsome, dressed in a carefree manner, and said with a smile: Little lady, you are so beautiful!Let the uncle hug him!
Seeing your thin skin and tender flesh, I really want to squeeze it.
Are there any time tonight?Have fun with us!
The woman's face was impatient. Zhang Xiaofan was trying to save her. She had already raised her glass with her little hands coated with bright red elixir, took a sip, and then poured another glass full, saying: Do you drink Ah?
The three scoundrels were overjoyed and said: Drink!drink!
This cup has been stained with the lady's fragrant lips, and I will drink it even if I urinate!
I'll first, I'll first!
Even though the woman was cold and indifferent, she still expressed her endless meaning and said: Don’t worry, each person has a cup, and it’s all worth it.
The three of them were overjoyed and their words became more and more vulgar. Zhang Xiaofan frowned and thought: It turns out that he is willing to fight and be beaten, but fortunately I didn't meddle in other people's business.
Zhang Xiaofan was about to leave, but the woman stood up as soft as boneless and looked at Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned, wondering what she planned.
But the woman just stared at him and turned around and walked towards the guest room.
Then he heard one after another bang and bang, and the three rogues had fallen to the ground one after another.
Zhang Xiaofan was shocked and the woman was not surprised, so she went to the guest room.
Zhang Xiaofan was curious and caught up with her to find out her background. He saw the woman step into a small room on the east side, and Zhang Xiaofan followed.
I saw the figure of the woman, reflected on the window, as if she was dressing in front of the mirror, her movements were still so soft, and she was really the bones on her body.
At this time, a voice with a natural nasal sound came from the room, and he said, "The three idiots just fell in love with the fragrance of Daigo, and they would wake up after lying there for an hour."Little brother, what else do you want to know?
When Zhang Xiaofan heard the fragrance of Daigo, he was stunned and continued: The little lady is indeed powerful. She actually has such advanced drugs. She underestimated her and said goodbye!As he said that, Zhang Xiaofan turned back to the room, thinking about what this woman was.
There are many police officers and officials guarding the city gate.Zhang Xiaofan, who came here, didn't think it was because Yangzhou City had a lot of money and a lot of trouble, so the gates were strictly guarded.
At this time, the monkey Xiaohui was sitting on his shoulders, followed by Yun'er. At this time, Axiang, Aping and Cai Yi were both resting in the foreign land. Xiao Meiniang and Zhang Lihua and her daughter did not dare to come out because of their sensitive identities, so only Zhang Xiaofan and Yun'er came out to play together.
