Datang Coroner

Chapter 2

In the spring of the ninth year of Kaiyuan, all things grow.

The city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was as bustling as ever.

Even though the sky was getting dark and the shops on the street were already lit with lanterns, it still couldn't stop the hurrying people at the gate of the city.

Some rushed into the city, and some rushed out of the city.

Fu Shiyi entered the city from outside the city with a burden on his back.

Dressed in cotton cloth, although simple, it can't hide the girl's slender figure.

Fu picked up a simple lily bun, with only two small silk flowers on his head, very simple.

Fu Shi only had time to take a look at the prosperity of Chang'an, and was scolded by the guards at the gate of the city: "What about the public inspection?"

Fu Shi hurriedly handed it over.

The guard looked him up and down: "From Shuzhou? Fifteen years old? Single? Occupation is... a pig butcher?!"

Don't blame the guards for their consternation. Shuzhou has a long and difficult road, and adult men are afraid, let alone a delicate daughter's family.

What's more, the girl in front of me is still single and has just reached the age of ji.

And that occupation—

Fu Shiyi smiled brightly: "Yes. A skill handed down from the ancestors." It has been passed down for more than a thousand years.

The yamen servant couldn't help hesitating.

Fu Shi smiled and asked, "But it's not right?"

The guard couldn't tell what was wrong, but still refused to let him go: "Do you have relatives in the city?"

Alone, with a long journey, I really can't think of any other possibility except to go to relatives.

Fu Shiyi didn't want to cause trouble, so he nodded obediently: "Yes, something happened at home, so I came to join my relatives."

The guard suddenly had a look of "I'll say it".

It took a long time at this end, and an official with a knife came over at the other end and asked a question.The guard then told the situation, and the official looked him up and down, and then frowned.

"Which workshop are your relatives in? Can you find them?" The official, despite his cold eyes and bearded face, was full of vicious looks, but also warm-hearted.

Fu Shiyi smiled unabated: "It's in Yongchongfang. You can find it. I used to come here when I was a child."

Only then did the official return the public inspection to Fu Shiyi.

After packing up and packing up, he went into the city with his burden on his back.

After nearly ten years of separation, things are changing and people are changing.

Chang'an is still Chang'an, people I know well, but I don't know where they are going.

After spending some money, I took a car to Yongchongfang.

Yongchongfang is still familiar, but the shops in my memory have been changed several times.

Fu Sangyi packed up his memories and walked to a house.

The door studs of the house must have just been replaced, each one is brand new and shiny, and the paint on the door is also bright.

A Xifu crabapple in the corner is in full bloom now.In the past, she played hide-and-seek under the crabapple tree.The petals fell from head to body.

But now...but I can't even get in.

Fu Shi looked at it for a while, and suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.

When Fu Shi turned his head, he saw a young man in a green robe coming out of it.

Fu Shiyi didn't dare to look more, because of the huge disparity in status after all.

He only looked up and took a complicated look at the branches protruding from Xifu crabapple, and then walked slowly along the wall and into the alley.

So naturally he didn't see it, the young gentleman glanced towards her, just in time to see her walking slowly.

But the young gentleman didn't take it seriously, he just glanced at the attendant.

The entourage hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, wait a little longer, the old lady will be back soon."

Fu Shiyi walked along the base of the wall and saw a Taoist temple at the end.

This is a place where a female crown is practiced.

I heard that it was the place where the former princess practiced in the first place.That's why we can fall into such a rich or expensive area.

You can stay overnight in Taoist temples, but you have to pay money.

For a single woman like Fu Shiyi, it is a more suitable place to stay temporarily than an inn.

Fushi told the temple master once, and then stayed.

The Taoist nun Huiguang who is in charge of this area is only in her 20s, and she is very kind.

Fu Shiyi inquired with Huiguang: "Is the Chang'an county government in Chang'an city still where it is? Has it changed over the years?"

Huiguang looked at Fu Shiyi in surprise: "Of course it won't change. It's only two streets away from us. But why are you asking this? Are you going to sue?"

Fu Shiyi smiled slightly, "I said before that I came to look for relatives, and that relative's family is a government servant. That's why I asked. I just don't know whether he is in Jingzhao Mansion or Chang'an County now."

Huiguang understood: "These yamen have not been moved for more than ten years. If you know the name, just ask. You can always find it."

Fu Shiyi, a daughter's family, traveled thousands of miles to find her relatives. This life experience alone made people feel very embarrassing.So Huiguang inevitably had some sympathy.

Fu Shiyi thanked Huiguang, went to bed early, and went to the Chang'an county government early the next morning.

The gate of the Chang'an county government office looks a little old, and bad people are wearing official uniforms, walking out in twos and threes—either to patrol or to handle cases.

A few people were cursing: "There is no breakfast shop around here. If you want to eat a pancake early in the morning, there is no place to drink mutton soup! Just starve to death!"

"Isn't it? I don't know what those people are afraid of."

"It's not because we're afraid that we won't pay."

A few people talked and walked by, and Fu Shiyi looked at her again as they passed by, feeling strange.

nature.It's nothing to anyone.

But Fu Shiyi stared at the vermilion lacquered yamen, lost in thought.

After a while, Fu Shiyi made up his mind and went elsewhere without staying for a moment.

Shengdaofang is next to Yongchongfang, Fu Shiyi is going there.

According to the address he wrote down, Fu Shi asked all the way, and finally stood outside a small door.Then he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

In his hand was a bag of snacks that he had bought on the street before.

With a "squeak", the door opened, and a 23-year-old daughter-in-law poked her head out: "Who are you looking for?"

The little daughter-in-law was born beautiful, with a peach face and apricot cheeks, a pair of watery eyes, a slim figure, and even a soft voice.

Fu Shiyi smiled so much that his eyes rolled up: "Is this Liu Dalang's home?"

"Are you looking for our Dalang? Are you renting a car or—" The little daughter-in-law looked around, and when she saw that she was a single woman, she relaxed: "Come in and talk."

Fu Shiyi first handed the dim sum with both hands, and then followed into the yard, and stopped under the grape arbor in the yard, explaining the cause and effect: "Liu Dalang helped me a lot when I went to Beijing before, if it wasn't for him, I'm afraid I can't make it to the capital either. So now that I'm in the capital, I came to thank you."

The little daughter-in-law poured water for Fu Shi with a smile: "It's easy, it doesn't have to be like this. The girl is too polite."

Fu Shiyi grinned, a little embarrassed: "Actually, I have an unfeeling request for my visit. Now I am in the capital, and I have no other relatives. I can't find any relatives to visit, so I just I want to rent a house by myself, and then find some errand, so I can live my life first. But I don’t know how to do it, so I want to ask your Dalang for help.”

Renters are always well informed.

Moreover, Fu Shiyi also understood that, as a single woman, it's better not to ask for it in person.Otherwise, he might be targeted.

Even if this is Chang'an City, and this is the foot of the emperor, there are also local hooligans.
