Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 288 Re-entry
As a result, Jiang Tian once again personally led the team, trekking in a ditch underground in Chang'an City.And when they walked through every shaft and vent, they would use whistles and messages from above, and the signs hanging from the ground to survey, compare and determine the specific orientation.

Therefore, wading with one foot deep and one foot shallow, rushing and flowing muddy sewage and floating objects, walking in the underground ditches and lanes with slippery and mottled walls, insects and rats crawling everywhere, and mud deposits; There are strings of lights shining on the front and back, and it doesn't look so eerie.

In fact, with the full cooperation of the goatee old official named Dai Youmeng, Jiang Tian took away half a cart full of files and books from the pile of old papers in the inner office; Come out, it may be useful material for Jiang Tian.

It was just in exchange for a promise from Jiang Tian to sponsor Dai Wenyou, his only seedling grandson, to apply for one of the three affiliated schools known as the "Common People's Examination", the opportunity to be a general subject student at the Official Affairs School every two years.After that, he will naturally handle the follow-up tasks.

Therefore, among the books sorted out by Dai's grandparents, Jiang Tian even saw files with some special marks; but they were located near the three major inner cities of the Imperial City, Daming Palace, and Xingqing Palace. Key block layout and construction of underground trench pipe network.

There are even some marked routes and strongholds.You must know that this kind of thing related to the defense of the imperial city and surrounding areas was originally managed by Bao Fulang from Dianzhong Province and Shaofu Temple, and a batch was destroyed regularly, but it should not appear in Jingzhao Mansion.

However, this kind of thing actually happened.This made Jiang Tian inevitably have some kind of conjecture; could it be that someone specially swapped these things that were destined to be destroyed back then, and replaced them with expired pictures that were originally sent to Jingzhao Mansion for preservation and filing?

In any case, with the appearance of these few things; the nature of the whole situation changed.In a sense, when Jiang Tian saw these things, he was also tricked by the old official Dai Youmeng, and became his potential accomplice and accomplice.

In other words, he took great pains to arrange and fulfill his grandson after his death.For this reason, he did not hesitate to take the huge risk of offending Jiang Tian, ​​a foreign official, and leading to a huge risk of being disposed of on the spot.Of course, the huge relationship in his eyes is nothing more than that.

Therefore, in the end, although Jiang Tian won his conditions, he also found an excuse; he was detained together to assist in the investigation.In fact, when the dejected old official Dai Youmeng was brought into the carriage with him, the officials of the Jingzhao Mansion were greatly relieved.

It seems that this catastrophe has found the prey he wants; that also means that other people who may have such and such tricks and faults in their bodies have temporarily escaped this investigation.Even with more time and opportunities, hurry up to deal with all kinds of aftermath.

Therefore, Jiang Tian also quickly summoned many people in a legitimate way, and based on the already mastered drawings, he assigned fifteen members composed of members of different identities to enter the Chang'an underground ditch network channel to pull Net search and exploration team;
This time, the focus of the search was concentrated in the North City area of ​​Chang'an where rich families and officials gathered.At the same time, within the scope of these network lanes, a temporary assembly point for equipment and soldiers is set up at the important nodes leading to the ground; so that in case of emergencies, they can go to the nearest place for support and response.

At least, for Jiang Tian, ​​who just went through the global epidemic in those few years, this level of organization and deployment;As a model who has always led by example, Jiang Tian also "randomly" selected Liquanfang in the north of Xishi.

Liquanfang was named after the sweet spring dug in the second year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign.In the square, there are three-hole female crown temple, Miaosheng nun temple and Liquan temple.There are also Persihu Temple and Zoroastrian Temple.In the southeast corner, there are also the residence of Princess Taiping of the former dynasty, the guest residence of Zhongshu Lingzong Chu, the residence of Duan Zhixuan, the general of the Fuguo State, and the ancient residence of Zhang Xi, the guerrilla general.

Of course, this is also the intersection where Peng Wenju, the repairman, led the construction of the dredging project of Yujie.At the same time, the Persian Fanfang area located in Liquanfang and the unique Zoroastrian temples are also among the many scenic spots with foreign customs in Chang'an City, which can be called a model of image and dignity.

Among the popular poems of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the romantic allusions of Li Duer, Wang Cengao and others that "the orchid wine is not in the afternoon, and the silk rope jade vat wine is like milk" mainly happened here.Of course, the orchids they appreciate are mainly Lite or Persian species from the Western Regions.

It is the image of curly hair, brown eyes, and deep-cut face on the Tang Sancai of later generations; as for the blond hair and blue eyes advocated by the later Angsa national aesthetics, it is too strange and weird for them.However, after a hundred years of extensive conquest, orchids in Chang'an City have also shown diversification.

Just passing through one of the streets, from the black hair and black eyes of the Daqin species (Dongluo), the gray eyes and white skin of the Taixi species (Greece), to the curly chestnut hair of the Persian species (Arabia), the red hair of the Jiankun species (Slavic) Orchid with green eyes, fair, light wheat and bronze complexion.

Although, due to the rules and regulations of the local workshop, all orchids are not allowed to go out to solicit customers; but just because they stand in their respective restaurants and restaurants, under the various competitions full of introversion, it is almost a A contemporary ethnographic museum and landscape in a sense.

Of course, the orchids who can appear here and have the opportunity to show their faces are the lucky ones among the lucky ones of their kind.The vast majority of them were trafficked from their hometowns across the sea, and they were selected and assigned to Tuozhi Tang people recruited by foreign princes.

Only the most outstanding and distinctive ones will be sent to Zhongtu Imperial Capital/Chang'an City; and then they will become a member of this street characteristic landscape after going through unknown screening and competition , forming the facade of Hu Ji Restaurant in Fanfang District of Liquanfang.

This is also an important opportunity for them to change their destiny.It was regarded as a distinctive ornament by a wealthy or wealthy family in Ruo Dajing, bought home or stored in the back house; then gave birth to a son and a half daughter without worrying about food and clothing, and started to exchange blood from the offspring Become Tang Ren.

As for why Jiang Tian knew this, it was still because of his predecessor; as one of the places where his predecessor used to frequently collect wind and materials; he also had some dealings with these orchids in Fanfang Jiusi Street.If it wasn't for the shyness of the pocket, there was also the idea of ​​taking care of one of them.

Because although this industry earns a lot of money, it also has a short-lived youth meal, and the competition is more fierce than those in the academy, and the replacement rate of old and new is quite high; almost a few years will replace a batch of younger and more beautiful people. where; or someone just disappeared without a trace.

So this group is pretty realistic.When the replacement period is approaching, they will try their best to find a good friend as a retreat and reliance.And what they like to look for the most is poor scholars who have been studying in Beijing for a long time; just for the sake of gambling, the probability of winning the official position in case of being elected

Therefore, the predecessor of Jiang Tian, ​​who had a local hukou, almost failed to control it, and became a backup tire for several of them.It's just that things are different now, and beauty is easy to change; the only thing that remains the same is the beautiful and beautiful face that smiles in the spring breeze amidst the soft words of the warblers all over the street.

Slowly thinking about it; passing through a series of corridors, side alleys and intersections.Following the announcement from the pathfinding sergeant in front, Jiang Tian has arrived at the underground structure map, the first reconstruction node and open space of the Yujie Henggou renovation project.

Unsurprisingly, the node where the flowing water converges seems to be quite well repaired; on the wall with obvious traces of old and new repairs, there is a dull sound when knocked on the material, which is somewhat similar to the texture of metal; it is obviously made of Jingxihua plaster (Cement) One-time molding.

Next, as the distance continued to advance, the search team was separated from the fork in the road; as well as the positioning references sent down one after another from the shafts and air vents above; Marked out and filled in half;

During the period, except for a few groups of rats who had eaten too much sewer sediment and grew very large; the sergeants who opened the way also encountered some unidentified fugitives who panicked after meeting them; Among them, there are traces of several settlements that have lived for a long time.

Most of them are black mouths without household registration, and there are some disabled people who have been obviously abandoned.Therefore, after being captured and blocked by the officers and soldiers, they were quickly escorted to the ground for containment and screening, thinking that there might be any wanted criminals among them.

If there are no ready-made crimes that can be proved, they will be sent directly to the Shayuan Supervisor in the north of Beijing, where they will be labored for a period of time; after a sufficient number and scale have been accumulated, they will be sent overseas to participate in the expansion; this is also the era of Duke Liang. One of the remaining policy inertia.

After so many years of operation, for these people of all kinds who flocked to the capital like moths to the flame, but had to lose their identities under the sun; although it is not completely good governance, it is not the worst outcome. .

Of course, even the members of the supervisor who participated in the operation were somewhat disappointed and disappointed; but for those on the ground who are concerned about this matter, the current search and search operation has no unnecessary discoveries, which is the best result up.

Until Jiang Tian saw that the front was illuminated by special lights, and the large space appeared for the fifth time; there were also torrents rushing down from all directions, and finally gathered in the vortex-shaped sedimentation tank below.And the label on the underground composition map is also a little bit wrong here.

On the top of the large sedimentation tank with a width of several feet, there should have been an abandoned ventilation channel drawn by hand-drawn lines.The next moment, Jiang Tian suddenly jumped up, grasping the wall with one hand like a nail; the other hand slapped on the gray brick surface one after another, which seemed to fit perfectly.

There was a slap, and an obvious cobweb crack suddenly appeared in the corner of the seemingly integrated zenith; at the next moment, it gradually cracked and fell down.Suddenly, an irregular gap appeared between the billowing dust and smoke that had accumulated for an unknown period of time and the splashing of large splashes of water.

And Jiang Tian, ​​who was supposed to bear the brunt, has already disappeared in this gap amidst the exclamation and shouts of the crowd.Immediately, a rope ladder with knots was put down in the gap, and the subordinates who were hurriedly assembling climbing tools below were pulled up one by one.

I don't know how long later, when everyone in the search team led by Jiang Tian covered their faces because they saw the sun again; his heart was icy cold.Because just in front of you is a golden peach tree that is full of fruit but still green.
