Go back to the Admiral's youth through the book

Chapter 28 (28) Robbery

"Let's go!" Ji Cheng put tea money on the table.

Xia Ou hurriedly got up and followed her obediently.

Oops, after sitting for a long time, my legs are numb!
As soon as Ji Cheng turned around, he saw the little lady slamming her hands and feet stiffly along the crutch.

He raised his hand to support the little lady, rubbed Shunguai's calf again, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Are you afraid?"

"It's not fear, it's respect and love. You're venting your anger on Xiao Ou and that's why you did this!" Xia Ou dared to say that after seeing Xia Ao fall into the brothel with his own eyes, his back felt cold?
If she had personally seen the admiral fighting against the heroes in the county government and found out that he was brave enough to use schemes, then after seeing him dispose of the miscellaneous things calmly, she would understand that she had no right to regret in front of him.

She has a deep understanding of her current status, this sick person she once thought was easy to handle, as long as she moves her fingers a little, she can crush herself to death in minutes.

Ji Cheng was very satisfied with her awareness of current affairs, and said quietly, "As long as my wife doesn't murder her husband, I won't do anything to you. After all, you are my wife and family, and I'm not that picky about my family."

"Xiao Ou likes her husband the most!" Xia Ou hurriedly expressed her loyalty.

From now on, she doesn't dare to have any second thoughts, and Xia Cheng is a bloody example.

She walked forward step by step with the admiral, and after walking for some time, she saw a familiar figure appearing at the corner ahead.

She tiptoed vigilantly, approached Ji Chen's shoulder, and muttered in a low voice, "It's Wu Yong!?"

"Not bad!" At the same time as Ji Cheng responded, his fingertips twirled slightly, and the stone in his hand flew out, and there was a sound of breaking wind, which quickly turned into a phantom.

"Ah!" With this scream, Wu Yong fell to the ground, knocking his body on a hard object, and his head was bleeding instantly.

Ji Cheng stepped forward slowly, knelt down and took out the hundred-liang silver note that Wu Yong had hidden on his body.

Just when he was about to leave, he found that his little lady had followed him, and stepped forward with her hands and feet shrunken like a thief, and took away all the broken silver and copper plates from Wu Yong's body.

Seeing him looking over, Xia Ou said, "This is dirty money, it's not clean, I'll spend it for him, to get rid of the disaster!"

She remembered that according to the plot, after the original owner was given dumb drugs, although he could not speak and suffered serious injuries, if he seeks medical treatment in time, there is still a glimmer of hope.

On the way through the door, she saw an acquaintance and struggled for help, but was beaten violently by Wu Yong.

She was beaten and fell to the ground, and the back of her head hit the stone corner heavily.

Blood flowed all over the ground, so miserable...

Wu Yong is also one of the murderers.

He deserved it!
"Let's go!" Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one on the street at the moment, Ji Cheng pulled her away quickly.

Not long after they left, the group of idlers followed.

"Where did Wu Yong go? Why did he disappear in a blink of an eye!"

"Just let this kid treat us to a meal and run away!"

"Look, the man in the pool of blood on the ground...is Wu Yong!"

"Oops, let's go!"

The idlers wanted to leave but they ran into Xia's family who heard the news and rushed to look for Wu Yong.

When Mrs. Qian heard that her daughter had been sold to Hualou, she immediately begged her whole family to come here, just in time to meet the idlers who were in a hurry to escape.

Goodbye Wu Yong, whose life and death are unknown on the ground, what else do you not understand!
"Ah, kill, kill!"

A scream pierced the sky, attracting countless pedestrians returning home.

A few of the idlers ran away, but most of them were surrounded by the crowd.

When the yamen servants arrived, Ji Cheng had already arrived at the ghost market with Xia Ou.

Because Kochi County made a big deal about matching marriages and attracted countless speculative merchants, the original curfew was cancelled.

In this way, all kinds of transactions are even more varied, and a bull market has emerged in it.

"Tang Law Shuyi" records: horses and cattle are used by the army, so they are different from other animals.If anyone steals and kills cattle, it will take two and a half years.

The imperial court did not allow the slaughter of cattle and horses and the sale of cattle and horse meat, but the demand for rich private households increased instead, and the black market became rampant.

Some speculators began to make a living by killing cattle and horses to sell meat, and they followed suit in private and blatantly violated the prohibition.

Kochi County is like a bright mirror in its heart, but Qinghe County, which was once so poor that it was eating dirt, has increased its tax revenue by nearly ten times due to these businesses.

So, he turned a blind eye and closed one eye, so that the courage of the black market merchants became greater.

Almost every seven days in an episode, Kochi County is also afraid that things will go wrong and it will end badly, so it hints to the merchants that some students have bad opinions.

As a result, merchants slaughtered cattle and horses to sell their meat at night.

The common people call it a ghost market, and there are people from all walks of life who come and go.

After the founding of the dynasty, the curfew was relaxed. For example, the Goulan House is brightly lit day and night, and there are many people looking for fun and relaxation.

The ghost market naturally has the rules of the ghost market. Enter at sunset and leave when the rooster crows. You can’t see things, and you can’t ask where they came from. Anyone who comes in must buy a mask, whether it’s a customer or a vendor.

The shape of the mask can be divided into human face and animal face. It is made of bamboo and wood. There are holes in the mouth and eyes for speaking and seeing. There are small holes on both sides for threading and hanging on the ears.

Because in the ghost market, this mask is a must, so the price is skyrocketing. The cost is a few pennies, but it can be sold for a tael of silver, but basically the guests who come to this place for entertainment are not short of this money.

Ji Cheng picked out a lotus fairy mask for the little lady, and said, "Take it on!"

"This is for my husband!" Xia Ou also helped him choose a mask of a Crane Immortal.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for the admiral to pay, she gritted her teeth and offered to give two taels of silver to the vendor.

After that, feeling pain secretly, he tightly held the small purse.

If you are willing to pay small money, you can get big money. If she paid for it this time, shouldn't it be him who pays next time?

She only has this little money, and it will be gone after spending it, but the admiral has saved a lot, and she has been thinking about it for a long time.

The two put on their masks, and then walked into the ghost city.

Above the ghost market is a large wooden sign that has experienced many vicissitudes of life. It reads: Yin and Yang are divided into two paths, and humans and ghosts end up in different paths.

The east-west, north-south avenues intersect to form a big "ten", dividing the ghost city into four areas.

South Street trades people, and along this road is North Street, where cattle and horses are traded.

On both sides of the east and west are buying and selling things, including books and antiques, which are very complicated, but their origins are not clear, some are taken from dead people, and some are stolen.

And once the transaction is done, it will be both money and goods, whether it is a loss or a profit, it will not be returned or exchanged.

Under the dim light, hideous masks appeared frequently.

Compared to the bustling morning market, this place really looks like a noisy place where ghosts do business.

Xia Ou accompanied the admiral to pan for gold, both curious and apprehensive.

She had never been to such a chaotic and noisy place, and she felt a little scared. She was following behind Ji Li, but now she has become a big hand holding him, and there is a tendency to pull him tighter and tighter.

Ji Cheng lowered his eyes, and the little lady's black pupils were clear and clear, like black jade soaked in water, which was lovely.

He held back her little paw, squeezed it, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

As he said that, he stopped in front of a stall of old things, picking at random.

Xia Ou was also curious, but she didn't dare to do it herself.

I'm afraid this kind of place will blackmail people. If you rely on her to destroy something, you can't afford it. It's enough to have an eye addiction...

　The ghost market has a long history. In the beginning, it was actually an old things market. Later, with more people and more rules, it became a big old things market.

　　According to legend, after bargaining for prices in the ghost market, customers have to refuse, otherwise they will be unlucky.

　　I am from Tianjin. There is also a ghost market in Tianjin, which has been handed down since the Qing Dynasty. But in the early years, the ghost market was changed to daytime. Without that kind of tune, I stopped going. I heard that Shenzhen There is also a ghost market, and Yun Yun said that he is gearing up.
