Under the night, the majestic Yique is like a gateway to guard the imperial capital. It stands solemnly on the waters on both sides of the Yishui River. The sound of carp leaping constantly sounds. Under the moonlight, the water splashes with stars and splashes of water like warm and soft silk, making people feel so comfortable that they almost want to sleep.
Dear girl, Cheng Zongyang said: Since leaving the Southern Wilderness, I feel that you are becoming less and less energetic. You are still mentally traumatized with me all day long. Now you are like you are so lazy that you just want to sleep and feed. Have you been leaving the sea for too long?
Big fool
Cheng Zongyang said: When the old man’s work is done, I will take you to the beach. You can swim as much as you want. If you want, we will build a villa near the sea. Half of the rooms are built on the sea surface. A swimming pool is dug in the bedroom, and the sea is directly connected to the sea. Cheng Zongyang was just thinking about it. The corner of his clothes suddenly tightened and was pulled by Xiao Zi to dive under the water. Cheng Zongyang quickly held his breath and opened his eyes wide.
Xiao Zi stretched her fingers through the water and pressed them on his lips, signaling him to silence, diving underwater
Large reeds grow on the shore, and the slender reed poles are curved and are pressed into the water by the heavy reeds at the top. Balls of white reed flowers and purple swimming in the gaps of the reed roots as skillfully as fish. They do not touch a reed.
Cheng Zongyang used up his breath, trying to expose the water to breathe, but Xiao Zi pulled her and climbed Cheng Zongyang's neck with one hand. Her delicate face came over and kissed his lips. She gently let out a sigh of relief in Cheng Zongyang's chest, and her mouth was filled with the sweet smell of a girl. The two of them held hands and stopped quietly in a reed.
A carriage was tilted and stuck in a reed marsh. The reed pole was rutted and fell to the side by the car. There was a blood hole in the vest, and blood foam was constantly gushing out.
The curtain of the carriage was cut open by a sharp blade, and a girl wearing a veil curled up in fear, hiding in the corner of the carriage, shivering. She held her shoulders with her hands and shook her head desperately, "It's not me, it's not me..."
A man in black with a face pulled her out, pulled her veil, held her chin up, looked at her in the moonlight, and shook her head at her companion behind her.
The man behind frowned, then lit his chin, and the man in black let go of the girl, then stabbed her chest with a knife, and the blade penetrated through the ribs, accurately pierced the heart. The girl's body shook, softly fell down, and they put away their swords, then disappeared into the reeds.
Cheng Zongyang's mouth and nose were not in the water, but his eyes were exposed among the reeds.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived in Luodu, I witnessed such a murder case. The two men in black did not drag on the moves at all. I couldn't stop them even if I wanted to stop them.
When the two men in black walked away, Cheng Zongyang came out of the water and saw the girl lying in the carriage, her chest was pierced by a sharp blade, and an exquisite silk dress covered with blood, and she had already died.
Who is the murderer, who is the victim, and what is the reason? Nothing is known about this
What you can see is that the carriage is quite good, and the clothes on the girl are definitely not ordinary people. The hairpin worn by them is also valuable. The pair of mandarin ducks tied around her waist is half the size of a palm. The jade is white and moist, exquisitely made, and the price is gold. I don’t know which female family suffered this disaster.
Xiao Zi took the girl's hand, touched it, and said: Cheng Touer
Cheng Zongyang received the palm of his hand from Xiao Zi and found that although the girl's palm was soft, there was a thin cocoon on her knuckles, which was obviously a work of inertia.
Cheng Zongyang pulled out a hairpin from the girl's head and looked at it. The two men were not robbed of wealth. The hairpin was worth at least dozens of gold baht, and they didn't even look at the color of the robbery. The clothes were pretty good.
Xiao Zi said: That's revenge?
Cheng Zongyang was not sure, it was hard to say
The girl obviously wore other people's clothes and pretended to be an identity, but the strange thing was also judging from the thin calluses on her hands. The environment she was in was not very superior. But she had seen the fabric on her body in a silk shop in Qingzhou. It was Jiangling silk listed as a tribute. The price was not ordinary. From the existing clues, it was probably because the owner found out that she was targeted by the enemy, so she asked the maid to put on the lady's clothes and led the enemy away. In the end, the enemy took action and only killed the maid. The problem was what was the background of this family?
Since this girl can pretend to be her master, she must be the lady's personal maid, but she can afford Jianglingsi's wealthy family. The maid in the inner house is also rich and well-off. Not to mention calluses on her hands, she may not be able to serve her even if she is rough.
Judging from the thin calluses on her hand, that family is not very noble, but how could such a precious Jiangling silk be worn on her? And the ornaments on her body are all high-quality pearls and jade, especially the pair of mandarin ducks and the pearl the size of a longan on her hairpin. Even if she has money, she may not be able to buy it.
On one side is a maid from a poor family, and on the other side is extremely luxurious. The identity of the lady in the middle seems confusing. In contrast, the actions of the two killers left too much information. Seeing that the person was dropped, they immediately killed people to silence them. Obviously, they were seeking revenge and killing people and refused to take them. It was even more obvious that they would not be thieves, nor would they be employed outsiders and employed people with clear goals and neat actions. They could only be a visitor or a member of a certain family.
Cheng Zongyang thought for a while, put the hairpin and jade pendant into his arms, and then said: Where is the camera? Let Jingli record all these.
After a while, Jingli came out of the reed marsh, carefully held the camera and said: The two people walked very fast, and I only saw one of my backs, not very clear.
Cheng Zongyang pointed to the carriage, and recorded it and took a look at his face clearly. There was something strange about driving. Since this happened, I will leave some evidence first.
…………………………
The night gradually faded, and a ray of light appeared on the horizon, illuminating the green reeds, the golden fields, and the green river water Cheng Zongyang sat in the reed marsh, holding a carbon black fishing rod in his hand. The two-meter-long rod top was thinner than the reed stem, and a transparent fishing line was hanging below.
There are no floats on the water surface. With Cheng Zongyang's current sense of perception, no matter how subtle trembling the fishing line is, he can feel his eyes closed and enjoying the breeze. Suddenly, the fishing line sinks. The thin top of the fishing rod is bent down, forming a curved arc
Cheng Zongyang relaxed his fingers slightly, and he made sure that the fish had already taken the bait. He slowed down twice and steadily withdrew it back slowly and slowly.
The water surface was filled with ripples. The fish kept struggling under the water, trying to get rid of the slim pole swaying. It seemed that Cheng Zongyang would break at any time, but he was not worried at all. The fishing rod seemed slender, but in fact the toughness was far beyond imagination. In his incomplete test, no matter the fishing rod or the fishing line, there was no problem with hanging half a ton of objects. Even if the hook was a crocodile, he could catch it.
The shaking of the water surface became more and more intense. Suddenly a carp jumped up from underwater. The red fins flashed in the sun and almost jumped onto the head of the rod.
Cheng Zongyang swung his right hand back, and without waiting for the carp to fall, he lifted it up high and pulled it to the shore.
The carp kept jumping on the wet soil among the reeds. While taking off the hook, Cheng Zongyang broke the reed and used the reed pole to pass through the gills, tied a knot, and placed it in the puddle at his feet.
Xiao Chengzi, opening Daji Ah Old Man Zhu climbed out of the reeds with his hands together and looked at the fish and said: Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk... This fish is at least more than three pounds? Look at this lively, Gudu Gudu Stew Pot Soup, it tastes very fresh! As he said that, he swallowed hard and spitted
Cheng Zongyang said: Want to eat fish? Go fishing by yourself and who fed all the dry food he brought to the donkey last night? Want to eat it for nothing now? Not to mention the door, there is no Ah on the window!
Xiao Chengzi, didn’t the old man’s donkey hurt his hooves? What’s wrong with eating some dry food for you?
A little bit? You don’t have a little bit left, okay? If I hadn’t brought a fishing rod, everyone would have drunk the northwest wind this morning
Xiao Chengzi, why are you so scrupulous? Just fish! Old Man Zhu said: The uncle is carrying a rod too!
Cheng Zongyang looked at him squintly and saw the old man holding a thin bamboo pole that was stripped from some broom. There was a thread tied on it or a few lines of different colors randomly spliced together. The most valuable thing is fishing. It was a fishing rod made of a sewing needle with a broken needle, which made the old man have a brightly colored mix and match style.
Old Man Zhu was very proud. Xiao Chengzi, look at the old man making this fishing rod with his own hands! It’s not bad than yours, right?
Cheng Zongyang looked at the high-tech fishing rod in his hand, and then looked at the broken rod that the old man didn't even look down on the beggar, and he wanted to spit in one go.
Old Man Zhu is still proud. Xiao Chengzi, do you dare to compete with the old man? Let’s see who caught more fish?
Oh, uncle, I really don’t dare. Cheng Zongyang said: Just your rod, it’s embarrassing that I win!
At a young age, why are you not brave at all? Old Man Zhu said: Just bet on the lottery! You are going to win, and the donkey belongs to you!
You must keep that donkey! If I touch the owner, I can’t even explain it all over my body!
Cheng Zongyang changed into a smiling expression, Old man, if you really want to bet, you will lose if we change the lottery, Yue Pengju's grudge against you back then was wiped out, how about it?
Old Man Zhu snorted, What if you lose?
With his broken rod, if he can lose, he might as well drown. Cheng Zongyang said generously: You say! The conditions will be available at will!
The old man doesn’t cheat you, Old Man Zhu said: If you want to lose, just do your best... Before he finished speaking, the old man hurriedly put away his broken rod. Oh! This is a hook! Xiao Chengzi, look at the old man’s skills! This luck!
Wait! Cheng Zongyang shouted: Your name is also fish!
Old Man Zhu's fishing rod was hung with a small crucian carp shaking its head and tail, which was less than a finger long from head to tail.
Old Man Zhu smiled like a chrysanthemum. Look at what you said, isn’t this a fish or a donkey?
Even if you catch a hundred, you can't compare to my Ah!
See who caught more fish, and even if you catch a fish as big as a donkey, it will be considered a fish! You are hooked again...
Old Man Zhu didn't take a pick at all. Even if he caught fish, he caught five or six fish in a short while. The largest one was about the size of a palm. Because it was too big, he almost pulled off the fishing line.
Cheng Zongyang didn't catch a slow fish, but the hook he used could not catch small fish at all. The smallest one was more than one pound, so he only caught three.
Old man! Let me explain clearly what you can do first! If you dare to cheat, I will turn against you immediately!
Old Man Zhu laughed and said: "I'm busy buying something for the uncle."
What?
The main gate to the west of Luodu is called Yongmen. To the north of Yongmen, the area between Shangximen and Shangximen is called Jinshi. Old Man Zhu said: Jinshi is all business in Jinshi, with shops of all sizes, and there are almost four or five hundred shops...
Don't worry first! Cheng Zongyang put down his fishing rod and took out a piece of paper from his waist bag
Most of the trade in the Han Dynasty was carried out in a fixed area in the city. It was called the city before departure. He asked someone to sort out the most important commercial district in Luodu, a total of nine cities. Now, I saw it from the beginning and couldn't find the Jinshi that Old Man Zhu mentioned.
Old man, are you fooling me again? Where is the gold market in Luodu Jiushi?
Xiao Chengzi, you don’t understand this, right? The nine cities you remember are the places where people from the Six Dynasties do business in Jinshi, but not only the Six Dynasties, such as the Great Food and the Hu Shangs of the Great Qin Dynasty, are all in Jinshi.
Cheng Zongyang was half-believing and half-doubted, and he couldn't tell. What do you want to buy if you are still engaged in import and export trade? Jewelry and treasures sold outside, or jade spices?
Old Man Zhu said: Look, if your Qilifang is not broken, please buy a street for you.
Cheng Zongyang was red when he heard this and scolded: Buy a turkey! Buy a street? You said lightly! Do you know how much it will cost? If you change it to gold baht, you can kill you hundreds of times and still have the rest!
Xiao Chengzi, do you gamble?
The fool is following you... Cheng Zongyang suddenly felt refreshed and shouted: I've been betting!
Old Man Zhu gave a thumbs up and was ambitious!
As he said another fish was hooked, Old Man Zhu laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. He quickly lifted the rod, but saw half a fish hanging on the hook...
A quarter of an hour later, Cheng Zongyang sat leisurely in the reed marsh. His wrist shook beautifully, and the fishing rod drew an arc in the air. The transparent fishing line flew out directly. The hook with earthworms hanging fell into the water. It immediately sank, and the fish bit the hook easily.
Cheng Zongyang shook his head and sighed: There are too many fish in this water, you can catch it at any time, and there is no sense of accomplishment at all.
Old Man Zhu squatted on the side with a dark face. Since he caught the half of the fish, the old man has gone bad luck swam over from somewhere, sweeping over the small fish near the shore. The black fish are strong and rushing around the shore. Old Man Zhu accidentally caught one and almost even paid for the fishing rod.
In contrast, Cheng Zongyang was so lucky that he had a very good fortune. In a reed marsh three or four meters away from the shore, there was a nest of carp that was in the breeding period. As long as the rod was removed, it would not fail. When his fishing rod was pulled open for more than two meters. When the fishing line was swung, he could easily throw four meters away. Old Man Zhu was miserable. The bamboo rod was only five feet away, and the fishing line was less than ten meters away, so he couldn't even touch the hair of the fish.
Seeing that the group of black fish had no intention of leaving, Old Man Zhu could no longer sit still, so he quickly moved a place and just found a place to sit down. He remembered something, and his butt jumped up like a fire, so he was one step late. As soon as he left, the group of black fish swam over and ate his nest of small fish that were worn with reed leaves.
Half an hour later, Cheng Zongyang stretched out his two fingers, twenty to zero! Look at this matter...why do I have two of you? Avoid your face being thrown into the river and unable to pick it up.
Old Man Zhu said with a dark face: Zi girl! What's the point of this guy? Just help him like this?
Xiao Zi floated up and said with a smile: He has already gotten on Cheng Touer's bed. If Cheng Touer loses, he will be embarrassed.
You just want him to win, at least you can leave an Ah for the uncle
Xiao Zi smiled and said: The biggest one is for you
A fat carp with golden scales and fiery red dorsal fin jumped out of the water and bit the old man Zhu's bamboo pole. The carp was more than three feet long, and the two carp beards twisted like dragons. The huge force almost bit the bamboo pole.
Old Man Zhu's face turned from gloomy to sunny. He hurriedly hooked the fish gills with one hand, and his mouth couldn't even close. Red-finned golden carp Ah! Xiao Chengzi! Go to the fire! Hurry up and stew the fish soup in the pot, and the old man tasted it!
Cheng Zongyang put most of the fish he caught back into the water, leaving only two pieces to clean, cut them from behind the gills, picked out the fishy tendons, penetrated them with reeds, and hung them beside the car.
Since Cheng Zongyang traveled through time, he had been traveling on the road for most of the time. It would be fine if he had to work hard. But when it comes to cooking, he wouldn't be angry. At first, he followed Wu Dadao and other rough men. There was no Nā type of fighting. When it comes to cooking, he was a waste of food. It would be good to cook things. The two words meant by the two words. No one understood the trip to Taiquan. Follow Wu Er and Xiao Yaoyi. Wu Er wouldn't mention it. That guy was just a beast. He never had anything to do with his work. He had to talk a few words. Cheng Zongyang wanted to put the pot on his face more than once. The little marquis didn't have any airs. He gave him whatever he gave. He never picked it. It means that as long as you cook, I would eat it no matter how bad it was, I would let me make a fire and cook, so no matter how bad it was, I would eat it!
In contrast, this is the most promising trip. When there are three women in the team to cook, Cheng Zongyang realized that no matter what era, all professional women are unreliable!
Xiao Zi is not interested in cooking. If you follow her taste, it is best for everyone to not get angry. Eat all raw, have rich taste, and nutrition. Poppy and Jingli are female killers. They are only good at enduring hardships and are not good at eating. If they can make a few tricks in a meal, they can't do this. Zong Yang also wants to be like everyone else. He can make do with his stomach. But the taste is like chewing wax and ate a dinner they made. Out of responsibility for his taste, Cheng Zongyang had to pick up the pot and spoon again.
This time the sun actually came out from the west. The old guy made a pot of fish soup, fish head and tail, and made a scorched head and tail. The extra fish meat was braised, without wasting any waste.
Old man Zhu said: Luodu's carp is a rare delicacy in the world
Cheng Zongyang tasted the fish soup and was shocked. It was said that dragon meat is a delicious food in the sky, and the fish is almost turned into a dragon. No wonder the old man was willing to take action.
The white dragon went down the abyss and turned into a fish. Xiao Zi said: You have to jump over the dragon gate to become a dragon again
The red sun is rising, and the water lingering between the two banks gradually dispersed, and the scenery in the distance gradually became clear. Yique is like an open door, revealing the majestic walls of a majestic city spread out neatly along the horizon. Two towers made of white marble towers into the clouds. You can even see the pattern of the Vermillion Bird above, as if guards standing against the sky are guarding the palace city. The countless palaces and pavilions in the city are connected together, and there is no end at the sight. Four huge golden men are arranged in all directions. They hold copper plates that carry nectar and shine in the sun. The highest point of the palace city is a magnificent palace. Even if they are separated by dozens of miles, they can still feel its amazing momentum.
Cheng Zongyang looked at the dream-like imperial capital and sighed for a long time: It is not easy to jump over such a high dragon gate.
…………………………
The people outside the gate of Yique were surging, and every day, countless people rushed into this prosperous imperial capital and walked among the crowd. Cheng Zongyang clearly felt the different atmospheres of the Han and Jin and Song dynasties.
The Han Dynasty was extremely martial, and the Han Dynasty only prohibited the people from holding powerful crossbows and armor. No matter what, the other ones, most travelers who traveled around were wearing swords and swords. What surprised Cheng Zongyang was that the most weapons in the Han Dynasty were not the young men of the ranger, but the scholars, whether they were officials wearing high crowns or scholars with square scarves, had no exception, they all wore long swords on their waists and were not the swords inlaid with gold and jade inlaid with jade inlaid with Jin Dynasty, which were much more decorative than practicality. But the long swords that were truly used for fighting. Most people's scabbards and sword spears were a bit old, and they were obviously often used.
Whether they ride horses or hikes, they all stand up and hold swords. Their expressions are upright, their majestic and upright figures and long swords hanging on their waists make the scholars of Han Dynasty very different from the literary style of the scholars of the Jin and Song dynasties, appearing strong and simple, full of martial arts and boldness.
The heroes of Han Dynasty have the most swords, which are the king of hundreds of soldiers. Whether in cavalry or infantry, swords are the easiest weapons to control and are the easiest to exert their power. When short soldiers meet in the streets and alleys, a long sword in hand is equivalent to an extra life.
The boys often use slingshots. They often have bow boxes hanging on the side of their saddles, and leather bags filled with bullets. The most obvious sign is the fierce dog with a bridle beside their mounts, and the goshawks on their arms. It can be said that as long as the eagle and dog are hangers, they are all Rangers.
There is also a kind of pedestrians who also carry bows, but the arrows they use are unique, with extremely thin silk threads tied to the tail. These people are hunters who are good at shooting. The silk threads at the tail of the arrow can effectively retract arrows and prey. Therefore, while carrying bow arrows, they will most likely carry a hunting fork on their shoulders, with captured prey hanging on them.
Another type of businessman is mostly short swords, with a scabbard that is covered with gold and silver, and even rhinoceros horns and ivory as handles. These are wealthy businessmen, and their weapons are often exposed wealth.
Most of the nobles of Han Dynasty wore short swords, with gems and white jade embedded on the scabbards symbolizing their identity. Huali Fengfan and others rode horses and walked in a row surrounded by groups of slaves, full of the arrogance and honor of the princes and nobles.
There are also some carving knives carrying the top blade. Those are middle- and low-level officials. Although the Han Dynasty is famous for making paper, most of the official files are mainly bamboo slips and wooden slips, so as to preserve them for a long time. The Han Dynasty does not require imperial examinations. Most officials are elected, and the officials are hereditary swords and pen officials who are good at the law. It is a fearful force in the Han Dynasty.
Cheng Zongyang held his mount and closed the door with the crowds. He was dazzled all the way. Suddenly, a scream came from his side. As soon as he walked to the door, a young man suddenly rushed over, pulled out a sharp knife from his arms, stabbed into his vest, and slashed hard. Then a strong hero flew out and pulled out his sword to cut off his head.
There was an uproar in front of the door. The pedestrians retreated one after another, threw down the sharp knife, wrapped the rolling head with clothes, and drilled into the crowd. The hero disappeared but he inserted the blood-stained sword in front of him. He sat cross-legged beside the corpse with a calm expression, shouting: Heaven punishes villain!
Good man! A group of teenagers next to him shouted loudly
There was a team of soldiers wearing red and black armor guarding the gate. As soon as the bloody incident occurred, the soldiers immediately surrounded him and quickly took the hero away.
Witnesses around were talking, and Cheng Zongyang turned his head and looked at Old Man Zhu in confusion. Is the public security of Han in the street so chaotic in broad daylight?
This is seeking revenge and you won’t hurt innocent people easily. Old Man Zhu said casually: Didn’t you see that someone has already paid off?
It’s too...too simple to kill?
A young man shouted: This thief dared to frame Daxia Guo! It is God's will to be executed today!
Under the hype of those young men, Cheng Zongyang quickly understood the whole story. According to the customs of the Han Dynasty, the emperor began to build tombs when he ascended the throne. For example, more than ten years after he ascended the throne, the tombs have been built. Most of the Han Dynasty attaches great importance to grand funerals. The emperor's tomb is not a simple tomb, but a bedroom built imitating the tombs. In addition to the tombs, there is also a complete set of city palaces. Everything is the same as the world. In order to allow the emperor to still enjoy the prosperity of the world after his death, the Han Dynasty even built cities around the tombs, moving nearby wealthy families to the mausoleum. The famous Wuling boys are the children of these wealthy families.
Today, Zi did the same, but he was even more courageous. He directly issued an edict to move all wealthy families with a property of more than 3 million yuan to the newly built mausoleum area. It is said that there were 60,000 households included in the migration list, which shows the prosperity of the Han Dynasty's wealthy families.
Among these migrated wealthy families, there is a famous commoner, who is so famous that even Cheng Zongyang heard of it thousands of years later: As a key figure in the biographies of the Rangers, this name is almost synonymous with the hero.
The problem is that although Guo Jie's reputation is very good, his family property is not much, which is a big difference from three million guan, but the local officials thought it was a big trouble for him to stay in the local area, so they also reported his name to Guo Jie's disciples and friends who were close friends, hoping to remove Guo Jie from the list, and even found General Huo Zimeng, the Grand Sima, and told the emperor that Guo Jie's family was poor and was not suitable for migration. Who knew that the emperor, who had always listened to Grand Sima Yan, asked in surprise: Guo Jie Yijie, could actually find Grand Sima to plead with love in person. Would he be very poor?
Sima Huo was speechless and had to stop mentioning this matter.
When Guo Jie moved, due to his poverty, all families who had received his favors sent money and funding. However, local officials actually forbid Guo Jie to see that Guo Jie was a brave man. He was bullied by a minor official and immediately became furious and assassinated the head of the official Yang.
The heroes of the Han Dynasty sang mercilessly. Although Guo Jie's disciples were heroic, the Yang family was not bullied. After the Yang family was mourning, they immediately sent people to Luodu to complain, but they did not expect that someone had already been guarding Yique, which led to a bloody case.
Those young men, including the murderer, had never seen Guo Jie at all. They just admired Guo Jie for being a hero and righteous man all day long, so they resolutely took action to avoid implicating Guo Jie. The hero who took action also took the initiative to stay and take the blame.
Dear girl, Cheng Zongyang said: Since leaving the Southern Wilderness, I feel that you are becoming less and less energetic. You are still mentally traumatized with me all day long. Now you are like you are so lazy that you just want to sleep and feed. Have you been leaving the sea for too long?
Big fool
Cheng Zongyang said: When the old man’s work is done, I will take you to the beach. You can swim as much as you want. If you want, we will build a villa near the sea. Half of the rooms are built on the sea surface. A swimming pool is dug in the bedroom, and the sea is directly connected to the sea. Cheng Zongyang was just thinking about it. The corner of his clothes suddenly tightened and was pulled by Xiao Zi to dive under the water. Cheng Zongyang quickly held his breath and opened his eyes wide.
Xiao Zi stretched her fingers through the water and pressed them on his lips, signaling him to silence, diving underwater
Large reeds grow on the shore, and the slender reed poles are curved and are pressed into the water by the heavy reeds at the top. Balls of white reed flowers and purple swimming in the gaps of the reed roots as skillfully as fish. They do not touch a reed.
Cheng Zongyang used up his breath, trying to expose the water to breathe, but Xiao Zi pulled her and climbed Cheng Zongyang's neck with one hand. Her delicate face came over and kissed his lips. She gently let out a sigh of relief in Cheng Zongyang's chest, and her mouth was filled with the sweet smell of a girl. The two of them held hands and stopped quietly in a reed.
A carriage was tilted and stuck in a reed marsh. The reed pole was rutted and fell to the side by the car. There was a blood hole in the vest, and blood foam was constantly gushing out.
The curtain of the carriage was cut open by a sharp blade, and a girl wearing a veil curled up in fear, hiding in the corner of the carriage, shivering. She held her shoulders with her hands and shook her head desperately, "It's not me, it's not me..."
A man in black with a face pulled her out, pulled her veil, held her chin up, looked at her in the moonlight, and shook her head at her companion behind her.
The man behind frowned, then lit his chin, and the man in black let go of the girl, then stabbed her chest with a knife, and the blade penetrated through the ribs, accurately pierced the heart. The girl's body shook, softly fell down, and they put away their swords, then disappeared into the reeds.
Cheng Zongyang's mouth and nose were not in the water, but his eyes were exposed among the reeds.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived in Luodu, I witnessed such a murder case. The two men in black did not drag on the moves at all. I couldn't stop them even if I wanted to stop them.
When the two men in black walked away, Cheng Zongyang came out of the water and saw the girl lying in the carriage, her chest was pierced by a sharp blade, and an exquisite silk dress covered with blood, and she had already died.
Who is the murderer, who is the victim, and what is the reason? Nothing is known about this
What you can see is that the carriage is quite good, and the clothes on the girl are definitely not ordinary people. The hairpin worn by them is also valuable. The pair of mandarin ducks tied around her waist is half the size of a palm. The jade is white and moist, exquisitely made, and the price is gold. I don’t know which female family suffered this disaster.
Xiao Zi took the girl's hand, touched it, and said: Cheng Touer
Cheng Zongyang received the palm of his hand from Xiao Zi and found that although the girl's palm was soft, there was a thin cocoon on her knuckles, which was obviously a work of inertia.
Cheng Zongyang pulled out a hairpin from the girl's head and looked at it. The two men were not robbed of wealth. The hairpin was worth at least dozens of gold baht, and they didn't even look at the color of the robbery. The clothes were pretty good.
Xiao Zi said: That's revenge?
Cheng Zongyang was not sure, it was hard to say
The girl obviously wore other people's clothes and pretended to be an identity, but the strange thing was also judging from the thin calluses on her hands. The environment she was in was not very superior. But she had seen the fabric on her body in a silk shop in Qingzhou. It was Jiangling silk listed as a tribute. The price was not ordinary. From the existing clues, it was probably because the owner found out that she was targeted by the enemy, so she asked the maid to put on the lady's clothes and led the enemy away. In the end, the enemy took action and only killed the maid. The problem was what was the background of this family?
Since this girl can pretend to be her master, she must be the lady's personal maid, but she can afford Jianglingsi's wealthy family. The maid in the inner house is also rich and well-off. Not to mention calluses on her hands, she may not be able to serve her even if she is rough.
Judging from the thin calluses on her hand, that family is not very noble, but how could such a precious Jiangling silk be worn on her? And the ornaments on her body are all high-quality pearls and jade, especially the pair of mandarin ducks and the pearl the size of a longan on her hairpin. Even if she has money, she may not be able to buy it.
On one side is a maid from a poor family, and on the other side is extremely luxurious. The identity of the lady in the middle seems confusing. In contrast, the actions of the two killers left too much information. Seeing that the person was dropped, they immediately killed people to silence them. Obviously, they were seeking revenge and killing people and refused to take them. It was even more obvious that they would not be thieves, nor would they be employed outsiders and employed people with clear goals and neat actions. They could only be a visitor or a member of a certain family.
Cheng Zongyang thought for a while, put the hairpin and jade pendant into his arms, and then said: Where is the camera? Let Jingli record all these.
After a while, Jingli came out of the reed marsh, carefully held the camera and said: The two people walked very fast, and I only saw one of my backs, not very clear.
Cheng Zongyang pointed to the carriage, and recorded it and took a look at his face clearly. There was something strange about driving. Since this happened, I will leave some evidence first.

The night gradually faded, and a ray of light appeared on the horizon, illuminating the green reeds, the golden fields, and the green river water Cheng Zongyang sat in the reed marsh, holding a carbon black fishing rod in his hand. The two-meter-long rod top was thinner than the reed stem, and a transparent fishing line was hanging below.
There are no floats on the water surface. With Cheng Zongyang's current sense of perception, no matter how subtle trembling the fishing line is, he can feel his eyes closed and enjoying the breeze. Suddenly, the fishing line sinks. The thin top of the fishing rod is bent down, forming a curved arc
Cheng Zongyang relaxed his fingers slightly, and he made sure that the fish had already taken the bait. He slowed down twice and steadily withdrew it back slowly and slowly.
The water surface was filled with ripples. The fish kept struggling under the water, trying to get rid of the slim pole swaying. It seemed that Cheng Zongyang would break at any time, but he was not worried at all. The fishing rod seemed slender, but in fact the toughness was far beyond imagination. In his incomplete test, no matter the fishing rod or the fishing line, there was no problem with hanging half a ton of objects. Even if the hook was a crocodile, he could catch it.
The shaking of the water surface became more and more intense. Suddenly a carp jumped up from underwater. The red fins flashed in the sun and almost jumped onto the head of the rod.
Cheng Zongyang swung his right hand back, and without waiting for the carp to fall, he lifted it up high and pulled it to the shore.
The carp kept jumping on the wet soil among the reeds. While taking off the hook, Cheng Zongyang broke the reed and used the reed pole to pass through the gills, tied a knot, and placed it in the puddle at his feet.
Xiao Chengzi, opening Daji Ah Old Man Zhu climbed out of the reeds with his hands together and looked at the fish and said: Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk... This fish is at least more than three pounds? Look at this lively, Gudu Gudu Stew Pot Soup, it tastes very fresh! As he said that, he swallowed hard and spitted
Cheng Zongyang said: Want to eat fish? Go fishing by yourself and who fed all the dry food he brought to the donkey last night? Want to eat it for nothing now? Not to mention the door, there is no Ah on the window!
Xiao Chengzi, didn’t the old man’s donkey hurt his hooves? What’s wrong with eating some dry food for you?
A little bit? You don’t have a little bit left, okay? If I hadn’t brought a fishing rod, everyone would have drunk the northwest wind this morning
Xiao Chengzi, why are you so scrupulous? Just fish! Old Man Zhu said: The uncle is carrying a rod too!
Cheng Zongyang looked at him squintly and saw the old man holding a thin bamboo pole that was stripped from some broom. There was a thread tied on it or a few lines of different colors randomly spliced together. The most valuable thing is fishing. It was a fishing rod made of a sewing needle with a broken needle, which made the old man have a brightly colored mix and match style.
Old Man Zhu was very proud. Xiao Chengzi, look at the old man making this fishing rod with his own hands! It’s not bad than yours, right?
Cheng Zongyang looked at the high-tech fishing rod in his hand, and then looked at the broken rod that the old man didn't even look down on the beggar, and he wanted to spit in one go.
Old Man Zhu is still proud. Xiao Chengzi, do you dare to compete with the old man? Let’s see who caught more fish?
Oh, uncle, I really don’t dare. Cheng Zongyang said: Just your rod, it’s embarrassing that I win!
At a young age, why are you not brave at all? Old Man Zhu said: Just bet on the lottery! You are going to win, and the donkey belongs to you!
You must keep that donkey! If I touch the owner, I can’t even explain it all over my body!
Cheng Zongyang changed into a smiling expression, Old man, if you really want to bet, you will lose if we change the lottery, Yue Pengju's grudge against you back then was wiped out, how about it?
Old Man Zhu snorted, What if you lose?
With his broken rod, if he can lose, he might as well drown. Cheng Zongyang said generously: You say! The conditions will be available at will!
The old man doesn’t cheat you, Old Man Zhu said: If you want to lose, just do your best... Before he finished speaking, the old man hurriedly put away his broken rod. Oh! This is a hook! Xiao Chengzi, look at the old man’s skills! This luck!
Wait! Cheng Zongyang shouted: Your name is also fish!
Old Man Zhu's fishing rod was hung with a small crucian carp shaking its head and tail, which was less than a finger long from head to tail.
Old Man Zhu smiled like a chrysanthemum. Look at what you said, isn’t this a fish or a donkey?
Even if you catch a hundred, you can't compare to my Ah!
See who caught more fish, and even if you catch a fish as big as a donkey, it will be considered a fish! You are hooked again...
Old Man Zhu didn't take a pick at all. Even if he caught fish, he caught five or six fish in a short while. The largest one was about the size of a palm. Because it was too big, he almost pulled off the fishing line.
Cheng Zongyang didn't catch a slow fish, but the hook he used could not catch small fish at all. The smallest one was more than one pound, so he only caught three.
Old man! Let me explain clearly what you can do first! If you dare to cheat, I will turn against you immediately!
Old Man Zhu laughed and said: "I'm busy buying something for the uncle."
What?
The main gate to the west of Luodu is called Yongmen. To the north of Yongmen, the area between Shangximen and Shangximen is called Jinshi. Old Man Zhu said: Jinshi is all business in Jinshi, with shops of all sizes, and there are almost four or five hundred shops...
Don't worry first! Cheng Zongyang put down his fishing rod and took out a piece of paper from his waist bag
Most of the trade in the Han Dynasty was carried out in a fixed area in the city. It was called the city before departure. He asked someone to sort out the most important commercial district in Luodu, a total of nine cities. Now, I saw it from the beginning and couldn't find the Jinshi that Old Man Zhu mentioned.
Old man, are you fooling me again? Where is the gold market in Luodu Jiushi?
Xiao Chengzi, you don’t understand this, right? The nine cities you remember are the places where people from the Six Dynasties do business in Jinshi, but not only the Six Dynasties, such as the Great Food and the Hu Shangs of the Great Qin Dynasty, are all in Jinshi.
Cheng Zongyang was half-believing and half-doubted, and he couldn't tell. What do you want to buy if you are still engaged in import and export trade? Jewelry and treasures sold outside, or jade spices?
Old Man Zhu said: Look, if your Qilifang is not broken, please buy a street for you.
Cheng Zongyang was red when he heard this and scolded: Buy a turkey! Buy a street? You said lightly! Do you know how much it will cost? If you change it to gold baht, you can kill you hundreds of times and still have the rest!
Xiao Chengzi, do you gamble?
The fool is following you... Cheng Zongyang suddenly felt refreshed and shouted: I've been betting!
Old Man Zhu gave a thumbs up and was ambitious!
As he said another fish was hooked, Old Man Zhu laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. He quickly lifted the rod, but saw half a fish hanging on the hook...
A quarter of an hour later, Cheng Zongyang sat leisurely in the reed marsh. His wrist shook beautifully, and the fishing rod drew an arc in the air. The transparent fishing line flew out directly. The hook with earthworms hanging fell into the water. It immediately sank, and the fish bit the hook easily.
Cheng Zongyang shook his head and sighed: There are too many fish in this water, you can catch it at any time, and there is no sense of accomplishment at all.
Old Man Zhu squatted on the side with a dark face. Since he caught the half of the fish, the old man has gone bad luck swam over from somewhere, sweeping over the small fish near the shore. The black fish are strong and rushing around the shore. Old Man Zhu accidentally caught one and almost even paid for the fishing rod.
In contrast, Cheng Zongyang was so lucky that he had a very good fortune. In a reed marsh three or four meters away from the shore, there was a nest of carp that was in the breeding period. As long as the rod was removed, it would not fail. When his fishing rod was pulled open for more than two meters. When the fishing line was swung, he could easily throw four meters away. Old Man Zhu was miserable. The bamboo rod was only five feet away, and the fishing line was less than ten meters away, so he couldn't even touch the hair of the fish.
Seeing that the group of black fish had no intention of leaving, Old Man Zhu could no longer sit still, so he quickly moved a place and just found a place to sit down. He remembered something, and his butt jumped up like a fire, so he was one step late. As soon as he left, the group of black fish swam over and ate his nest of small fish that were worn with reed leaves.
Half an hour later, Cheng Zongyang stretched out his two fingers, twenty to zero! Look at this matter...why do I have two of you? Avoid your face being thrown into the river and unable to pick it up.
Old Man Zhu said with a dark face: Zi girl! What's the point of this guy? Just help him like this?
Xiao Zi floated up and said with a smile: He has already gotten on Cheng Touer's bed. If Cheng Touer loses, he will be embarrassed.
You just want him to win, at least you can leave an Ah for the uncle
Xiao Zi smiled and said: The biggest one is for you
A fat carp with golden scales and fiery red dorsal fin jumped out of the water and bit the old man Zhu's bamboo pole. The carp was more than three feet long, and the two carp beards twisted like dragons. The huge force almost bit the bamboo pole.
Old Man Zhu's face turned from gloomy to sunny. He hurriedly hooked the fish gills with one hand, and his mouth couldn't even close. Red-finned golden carp Ah! Xiao Chengzi! Go to the fire! Hurry up and stew the fish soup in the pot, and the old man tasted it!
Cheng Zongyang put most of the fish he caught back into the water, leaving only two pieces to clean, cut them from behind the gills, picked out the fishy tendons, penetrated them with reeds, and hung them beside the car.
Since Cheng Zongyang traveled through time, he had been traveling on the road for most of the time. It would be fine if he had to work hard. But when it comes to cooking, he wouldn't be angry. At first, he followed Wu Dadao and other rough men. There was no Nā type of fighting. When it comes to cooking, he was a waste of food. It would be good to cook things. The two words meant by the two words. No one understood the trip to Taiquan. Follow Wu Er and Xiao Yaoyi. Wu Er wouldn't mention it. That guy was just a beast. He never had anything to do with his work. He had to talk a few words. Cheng Zongyang wanted to put the pot on his face more than once. The little marquis didn't have any airs. He gave him whatever he gave. He never picked it. It means that as long as you cook, I would eat it no matter how bad it was, I would let me make a fire and cook, so no matter how bad it was, I would eat it!
In contrast, this is the most promising trip. When there are three women in the team to cook, Cheng Zongyang realized that no matter what era, all professional women are unreliable!
Xiao Zi is not interested in cooking. If you follow her taste, it is best for everyone to not get angry. Eat all raw, have rich taste, and nutrition. Poppy and Jingli are female killers. They are only good at enduring hardships and are not good at eating. If they can make a few tricks in a meal, they can't do this. Zong Yang also wants to be like everyone else. He can make do with his stomach. But the taste is like chewing wax and ate a dinner they made. Out of responsibility for his taste, Cheng Zongyang had to pick up the pot and spoon again.
This time the sun actually came out from the west. The old guy made a pot of fish soup, fish head and tail, and made a scorched head and tail. The extra fish meat was braised, without wasting any waste.
Old man Zhu said: Luodu's carp is a rare delicacy in the world
Cheng Zongyang tasted the fish soup and was shocked. It was said that dragon meat is a delicious food in the sky, and the fish is almost turned into a dragon. No wonder the old man was willing to take action.
The white dragon went down the abyss and turned into a fish. Xiao Zi said: You have to jump over the dragon gate to become a dragon again
The red sun is rising, and the water lingering between the two banks gradually dispersed, and the scenery in the distance gradually became clear. Yique is like an open door, revealing the majestic walls of a majestic city spread out neatly along the horizon. Two towers made of white marble towers into the clouds. You can even see the pattern of the Vermillion Bird above, as if guards standing against the sky are guarding the palace city. The countless palaces and pavilions in the city are connected together, and there is no end at the sight. Four huge golden men are arranged in all directions. They hold copper plates that carry nectar and shine in the sun. The highest point of the palace city is a magnificent palace. Even if they are separated by dozens of miles, they can still feel its amazing momentum.
Cheng Zongyang looked at the dream-like imperial capital and sighed for a long time: It is not easy to jump over such a high dragon gate.
…………………………
The people outside the gate of Yique were surging, and every day, countless people rushed into this prosperous imperial capital and walked among the crowd. Cheng Zongyang clearly felt the different atmospheres of the Han and Jin and Song dynasties.
The Han Dynasty was extremely martial, and the Han Dynasty only prohibited the people from holding powerful crossbows and armor. No matter what, the other ones, most travelers who traveled around were wearing swords and swords. What surprised Cheng Zongyang was that the most weapons in the Han Dynasty were not the young men of the ranger, but the scholars, whether they were officials wearing high crowns or scholars with square scarves, had no exception, they all wore long swords on their waists and were not the swords inlaid with gold and jade inlaid with jade inlaid with Jin Dynasty, which were much more decorative than practicality. But the long swords that were truly used for fighting. Most people's scabbards and sword spears were a bit old, and they were obviously often used.
Whether they ride horses or hikes, they all stand up and hold swords. Their expressions are upright, their majestic and upright figures and long swords hanging on their waists make the scholars of Han Dynasty very different from the literary style of the scholars of the Jin and Song dynasties, appearing strong and simple, full of martial arts and boldness.
The heroes of Han Dynasty have the most swords, which are the king of hundreds of soldiers. Whether in cavalry or infantry, swords are the easiest weapons to control and are the easiest to exert their power. When short soldiers meet in the streets and alleys, a long sword in hand is equivalent to an extra life.
The boys often use slingshots. They often have bow boxes hanging on the side of their saddles, and leather bags filled with bullets. The most obvious sign is the fierce dog with a bridle beside their mounts, and the goshawks on their arms. It can be said that as long as the eagle and dog are hangers, they are all Rangers.
There is also a kind of pedestrians who also carry bows, but the arrows they use are unique, with extremely thin silk threads tied to the tail. These people are hunters who are good at shooting. The silk threads at the tail of the arrow can effectively retract arrows and prey. Therefore, while carrying bow arrows, they will most likely carry a hunting fork on their shoulders, with captured prey hanging on them.
Another type of businessman is mostly short swords, with a scabbard that is covered with gold and silver, and even rhinoceros horns and ivory as handles. These are wealthy businessmen, and their weapons are often exposed wealth.
Most of the nobles of Han Dynasty wore short swords, with gems and white jade embedded on the scabbards symbolizing their identity. Huali Fengfan and others rode horses and walked in a row surrounded by groups of slaves, full of the arrogance and honor of the princes and nobles.
There are also some carving knives carrying the top blade. Those are middle- and low-level officials. Although the Han Dynasty is famous for making paper, most of the official files are mainly bamboo slips and wooden slips, so as to preserve them for a long time. The Han Dynasty does not require imperial examinations. Most officials are elected, and the officials are hereditary swords and pen officials who are good at the law. It is a fearful force in the Han Dynasty.
Cheng Zongyang held his mount and closed the door with the crowds. He was dazzled all the way. Suddenly, a scream came from his side. As soon as he walked to the door, a young man suddenly rushed over, pulled out a sharp knife from his arms, stabbed into his vest, and slashed hard. Then a strong hero flew out and pulled out his sword to cut off his head.
There was an uproar in front of the door. The pedestrians retreated one after another, threw down the sharp knife, wrapped the rolling head with clothes, and drilled into the crowd. The hero disappeared but he inserted the blood-stained sword in front of him. He sat cross-legged beside the corpse with a calm expression, shouting: Heaven punishes villain!
Good man! A group of teenagers next to him shouted loudly
There was a team of soldiers wearing red and black armor guarding the gate. As soon as the bloody incident occurred, the soldiers immediately surrounded him and quickly took the hero away.
Witnesses around were talking, and Cheng Zongyang turned his head and looked at Old Man Zhu in confusion. Is the public security of Han in the street so chaotic in broad daylight?
This is seeking revenge and you won’t hurt innocent people easily. Old Man Zhu said casually: Didn’t you see that someone has already paid off?
It’s too...too simple to kill?
A young man shouted: This thief dared to frame Daxia Guo! It is God's will to be executed today!
Under the hype of those young men, Cheng Zongyang quickly understood the whole story. According to the customs of the Han Dynasty, the emperor began to build tombs when he ascended the throne. For example, more than ten years after he ascended the throne, the tombs have been built. Most of the Han Dynasty attaches great importance to grand funerals. The emperor's tomb is not a simple tomb, but a bedroom built imitating the tombs. In addition to the tombs, there is also a complete set of city palaces. Everything is the same as the world. In order to allow the emperor to still enjoy the prosperity of the world after his death, the Han Dynasty even built cities around the tombs, moving nearby wealthy families to the mausoleum. The famous Wuling boys are the children of these wealthy families.
Today, Zi did the same, but he was even more courageous. He directly issued an edict to move all wealthy families with a property of more than 3 million yuan to the newly built mausoleum area. It is said that there were 60,000 households included in the migration list, which shows the prosperity of the Han Dynasty's wealthy families.
Among these migrated wealthy families, there is a famous commoner, who is so famous that even Cheng Zongyang heard of it thousands of years later: As a key figure in the biographies of the Rangers, this name is almost synonymous with the hero.
The problem is that although Guo Jie's reputation is very good, his family property is not much, which is a big difference from three million guan, but the local officials thought it was a big trouble for him to stay in the local area, so they also reported his name to Guo Jie's disciples and friends who were close friends, hoping to remove Guo Jie from the list, and even found General Huo Zimeng, the Grand Sima, and told the emperor that Guo Jie's family was poor and was not suitable for migration. Who knew that the emperor, who had always listened to Grand Sima Yan, asked in surprise: Guo Jie Yijie, could actually find Grand Sima to plead with love in person. Would he be very poor?
Sima Huo was speechless and had to stop mentioning this matter.
When Guo Jie moved, due to his poverty, all families who had received his favors sent money and funding. However, local officials actually forbid Guo Jie to see that Guo Jie was a brave man. He was bullied by a minor official and immediately became furious and assassinated the head of the official Yang.
The heroes of the Han Dynasty sang mercilessly. Although Guo Jie's disciples were heroic, the Yang family was not bullied. After the Yang family was mourning, they immediately sent people to Luodu to complain, but they did not expect that someone had already been guarding Yique, which led to a bloody case.
Those young men, including the murderer, had never seen Guo Jie at all. They just admired Guo Jie for being a hero and righteous man all day long, so they resolutely took action to avoid implicating Guo Jie. The hero who took action also took the initiative to stay and take the blame.
