sword sentient beings

Kuancheng is the seat of Beiyang County in Youzhou. It is also a large city with a population of 50 and is an important economic town in the north.Before the rise of Yunzhou, Kuancheng's economy even surpassed Yunzhou's state governance, and many people moved there from Yunzhou.

Because of the large population and relatively prosperous economy, there is a large urban population. Therefore, even if the surrounding area is not very stable, the city is still very prosperous.The north of the city is home to wealthy and wealthy families, while the south is where the common people live.

In the Majuqiao area in the south of the city, a commercial and entertainment center has been formed. It is not only full of hotels and shops, but also houses with hooks and tiles, small stalls and hawkers, storytellers and singers, fortune tellers, fortune tellers, monkey performers and even ten kinds of acrobatics. No, it was very lively.

Tang Zhao entered the city from the south gate and all the way to Maju Bridge, he immediately felt the smoke of fireworks coming towards his face.This kind of fireworks is supposed to be needed in Yunzhou, but here there is a kind of exuberant and barbaric vitality produced by no one under supervision.

When he first entered the city, he paid a city gate tax that was twice as expensive as Yunzhou. When he entered the city, he found that both sides of the street were covered with tents. He often saw beggars gathering together, making the not spacious streets even narrower. A smoky atmosphere.Not to mention that as you go to the south of the city, the houses become increasingly low and dilapidated, and they are gradually no different from shacks. They are dirty and messy, with sewage flowing across them, which makes people feel heartbroken.He gradually began to have opinions about the Kuancheng government, and it was only here that he spoke out.

After listening to pedestrians talking about it on the road, Tang Zhao learned that a great evil had occurred nearby. It seemed to have formed a devil's nest, involving tens of thousands of people, and many refugees poured into the city. The government's failure to resettle them in time made the situation in the city terrible. It was not so bad before. As for this.

What a disaster...

It's been a while since Tang Zhao heard about or experienced it. It's not that there are no hidden troubles in Yunzhou, but since he became a swordsman, he has never dealt with hidden troubles as a prosecutor, but has faced more powerful ones. enemy.

Although his current mission is very important, he still recognizes that he is a prosecutor and has the obligation to eradicate evil.If he were to encounter someone, he would definitely take action even if it was not within his duties.

However, the evil misfortune in front of him was not his turn. There was also a local prosecutor in Youzhou.Each department has its own subordinates and has nothing to do with each other. He cannot overstep his authority.

The government in Youzhou is very average, and the level of governance is mediocre, but at least the disaster victims have been allowed to enter the city, and there are some resettlement plans. It is said that there is also food relief. From the perspective of Tang Zhao, who has traveled through several states, it is actually pretty average in horizontal comparison. .If the level of the District Procuratorate is on the same level as their government, it will be enough to deal with ordinary evil.

The most important thing at hand is to find Sui Jiaban.

The area around Majuqiao was a mixture of three religions and nine schools, and was crowded with people. People gathered around every stall on the ground, and they all cheered constantly.You have to get inside to see what kind of stall it is.

Not to mention that there is a mat booth that is one level higher than the one on the ground. It is surrounded by mats on three sides. If someone stops you, you can only let in if you buy a ticket.

With Tang Zhao's strength, it was not difficult to squeeze into the crowd, but it was troublesome to squeeze in and out like this. There seemed to be no need to buy tickets one by one to enter the shed, and it would be even more difficult to escape by relying on strength to evade the fare.

So he directly contacted the disciples of the Five Poison Society.After they found out about Sui Jiaban, they stopped doing the business they had planned and split up. One went to follow Sui Jiaban, and the other stayed at the business premises near Maju Bridge, waiting for Tang Zhao to come.

The lower part of the business is the residence where businessmen from all over the world gather.A place dedicated to receiving businessmen has its own unique rules, which outsiders cannot know. Moreover, if you want to stay in such a store, you will definitely not have a room.If you are a businessman and want to stay, you have to squeeze out a room even if you don't have a house.This is also the loyalty of these Jianghu people.

However, although the members of the Five Poison Society are not gangsters, they are still down-to-earth enough. They are people who hang out on the street. These are the people who know their way around.Although I can't live like a dragon in a foreign land, I still have no problem finding a room.

Tang Zhao entered the lower part of the business and walked inside, saying he was looking for someone, and sure enough, he found him right away.Still an acquaintance.

It was Zhang Xu.There was a little conflict when I was a kid, but I met him again in my hometown when I grew up.

When we meet again, it is said that we become familiar once and twice, but now we have become old acquaintances after the third time.Zhang Xu's flattery no longer requires any psychological construction, it is very familiar.

"Sir, I've been waiting for you to come. If you don't come, I won't be able to sleep a wink all night long..."

Tang Zhao smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Are they still there?"

Zhang Xudao: "It's an unlucky time for you to come..."

Tang Zhao was shocked and thought to himself: Is it possible that good things come to an end?Can't meet again?
Zhang Xu had already continued: "They didn't go out to the stall today, so they went to the Tang Hui. It's the Tang Hui of Mr. Che's house in Beicheng." Hey, can everyone in the Sui family's class attend the Tang Hui?
Although he was a little sorry to say this, Tang Zhao remembered that the level of the Sui family class was quite average.It's not that Tang Zhao doesn't despise those tricks now that he has the strength. In fact, he felt it when he was a child.

When they first traveled around the country, they went to temple fairs, social operas, and rallies. They also went to county towns to work hard. They rarely had the opportunity to enter big cities, let alone go to public halls. They were called "kings of suburban counties."

How much money can you make by performing at a rural fair?Why don't you accept the church that makes the most money? Don't you want to?

No one is invited.

Of course, it is difficult for juggling to reach the level of elegance. In the halls of wealthy families, those who sing opera and drum music are called, and at the worst they have to play diabolo or hold a big vat.When did you start playing tricks?Which of the wealthy families that can still stand today does not have their own real skills? Are they crazy and want to look at the fake tricks on the street?
In Tang Zhao's opinion, in such a lively area, Sui's business might not necessarily be good.Tang Zhao was quite surprised to hear that the Sui family class could take on such a big job as a church meeting in such a big city.

Zhang Xu and the others had not been idle these past two days. They had basically figured out the basics of the Sui family class, and immediately responded: "The Sui family class has been lucky in the past two years, and they have found a red horn who sings drums and books. That girl …”

He opened his mouth, remembering Tang Zhao's different status, and did not dare to speak vulgarly, and said: "The drummer sings well and looks good. That's why he can turn his fire points so much. I heard that they have made a lot of money in the past two years." With some money, except for occasionally walking on the soft rope, and no longer playing with guns, the old man played the strings for the horn. Their daughter and an adopted girl all followed him and learned to sing and play drums. Now the eldest girl has already I can sing short pieces now. This time, Master Che’s family celebrated the young master’s birthday, so he invited the drum girl, and the money was very generous."

Tang Zhao was very pleased to hear this. Although no matter whether the Sui family's class was doing well or not, Tang Zhao could always change their destiny now that he was here, but he was also happy to hear that his old friend had become better in the past few years.He thought that the Sui family were all good people. Wouldn't it be a good thing for good people to live well?

However, he still wondered: "Since he is a popular player, he should find a good team and a good piano player to support him. Although my uncle Sui can play strings, he is also a second-hand swordsman. Why do you like him?"

Zhang Xu was a little excited when he mentioned this, and said: "It's hard to say, but from what I can see, he is attracted to the eldest son of the family. The young man has thick eyebrows, big eyes, a strong figure, and is loyal and honest. There is a chance. I think they are [-]% successful."

Tang Zhao's eyes lit up after hearing this, and said: "Really? My brother Sui? Yes, considering his age, he should consider it. I just said that he is such a reliable and good man, how can no girl like him?"

Hearing the good news about his old friend, Tang Zhao became even happier and said: "What is the identity of this master of the car today? Although he is generous with the money, will he do anything to bully others?"

Zhang Xu thought to himself: What are you afraid of?If you are competing for power, who is more powerful than you?What's more, this is a reunion of old friends. If they are bullied, wouldn't it be better for you to step in and make a splash, to return rich and rich to your hometown?
But he still replied honestly: "That Mr. Che is the old man of the local prosecutor's office. This meeting is to celebrate his youngest son's birthday, and secondly, it is also to celebrate the success of the governor in handling the evil. I think their family is an official. The people on my son are more particular than the rich people."

Tang Zhao was hesitating whether to go to see the hall or wait downstairs. Hearing the news about the inspection, he stopped hesitating and said: "You lead the way, let's go and see them. Wait... You first take me to buy something suitable for gifting." The gift of man.”

Zhang Xu is a shrewd and capable man, and he was able to clearly understand the surrounding environment in just a few days. He took Tang Zhao to the shop and bought a lot of fruit snacks, and then bought some valuables as gifts for the Che Mansion. , after all, it is not good to come to eat and drink empty-handed, and then said: "Sir, do you want to change your clothes?"

Tang Zhao lowered his head and saw that he was wearing a fine green shirt, the most ordinary attire, and asked with a smile: "Then what clothes do you want me to change into?"

Zhang Xudao: "It depends on what the young master wants to wear... You can wear a gorgeous brocade robe to dazzle people's ears and eyes. This is called returning home in brocade. You can also wear something ragged, which will first make people look down upon, and then reveal your identity with a touch of face and surprise people. This is called pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger."

Tang Zhao almost laughed out loud and said: "You should read less of that story. According to you, it doesn't matter whether you are poor or rich, but just being ordinary is not good? In my opinion, this is good. , I just went to watch the excitement, I didn’t want to go on stage to sing in an opera, I’m not that big of an opera addict.”

The two of them came to the Che Mansion in the north of the city, but they saw that the mansion was decorated with lights, the four doors were wide open, and cars and horses gathered at the door, making it really lively.Tang Zhao had a raw face and looked like a poor scholar who came to catch the autumn wind.I glanced at the door several times, but today was a good day. The old man promised that even if the beggar came, he would still give him snacks. Besides, seeing that he was well-mannered and tidy, he let him in.Later I heard that I didn't come empty-handed, and that I even left congratulations at the concierge, which was an unexpected surprise.

Tang Zhao entered the door, but before he had time to look for people in the performance hall, he heard someone talking next to him: "With so many people here, even people from the Yanyun Sword Sect have been invited, are you really not afraid that the performance will be ruined? There will be so many people there." Do you think you are not worthy enough to show your eyes?"

Another person said: "What are you smashing? You have already tried it. Do you think it is really a live match? They have known for a long time that this sword is suitable and specially prepared it for the young master. Please open your eyes. Mr. Che is a swordsman, so young. The young master can also be a swordsman, a double swordsman, and the Che family is about to become prosperous."
