Datang first village

"What if a foreigner throws something?" After Jin Manqing asked this question, she felt a little regretful.

The idle man laughed: "There are no thieves in the East City." After finishing speaking, the idle man bowed his hands in the direction of the south of the city: "His Royal Highness Qin Wang has a strict order that the market and the wharf are the face of the Tang Dynasty. You can lose money but you can't." Disgraceful. Therefore, there are absolutely no thieves in Dongshi and the docks."

"What about outside the East City?"

"See if the Marquis Wu in Chang'an is free. Of course, those who are stolen should be taken care of, and the Marquis who lost it themselves don't bother to take care of it. However, they will be punished heavily for reporting a false case, and they will be accused of stealing things if they are lost. If there is enough witness evidence to prove that it was picked up, half of it will go to the public and half to the person who picked it up.”

Jin Manqing said in her heart that the people of Datang are only for the people of Datang!

Xuejing understood, but it was not the case.

How big is Chang'an City, and it takes more than 130 miles to run around the outer city of Chang'an.There are only 3000 people in the city guards, and only 2000 people in Marquis Wu. If the manpower is scattered, there are only five or sixty people in one workshop. Just say that Dongshi has 60 acres. On average, one person needs to take care of 650 to [-] acres of land. size area.

The lack of manpower is real, and naturally they will not care about those nosy things.

Because of this, the idlers here in Dongshi are responsible for shopping guides, leading the way, moving goods, and protecting the safety of the place. Even if the leaves fall in autumn, or if there is an accident, they will also help sweep the streets.

Jin Manqing went to several stores, only a few items were unlimited.

It seems to be more precious, such as walnut maltose, if you don't show your Datang ID card, you will only sell it for five taels.

Goods such as high-quality green tea, snow sugar, and snow salt are not even available.

Not long after, most of the goods were filled in the back baskets of the four idlers. Xue Jing had already persuaded Jin Manqing once, and it took less than a tenth of the East City. There are more shops behind, so follow this If you buy it, the money will definitely not be enough.

And at this moment, a group of three people just walked across from Jin Manqing.

Both parties were paying attention to the shops along the street, but they didn't expect that there would be someone in front of them.The idle man who followed Jin Manqing immediately stretched out his hand to block him.

However, a person next to the other party, who was obviously a guard, pushed the idle man hard to avoid touching his master.

When the idle man was retreating, his body bumped into the food stall next to him and knocked it over. In order to protect the goods Jin Manqing bought, he tore his own clothes, and there was a bloodstain on his arm. The blood seeped out.

"You..." The other idlers were about to rush up.

Xue Jing stood in the middle of the two sides, stretched out her hand to stop the idler, and then said: "There are so many people in the East City, it is inevitable that there will be crowds. His Royal Highness King Qin has ordered that everything be courteous. Men are strong, women are weak, and the one who leads the way People are afraid of colliding with the host, but they stretch out their hands to protect each other, but it is kindness, and it is also a duty. You can agree!"

"Hmph!" The man who pushed people snorted coldly, but he didn't speak.

He didn't speak because he couldn't understand what Xue Jing was saying.

But the leader replied in Chinese: "This statement is also very reasonable." Then he turned his head to look at Jin Manqing, and looked at it carefully.Judging from the clothes on this body, the accessories she wears, and the dress, materials, and accessories of the maid behind her, this should be the daughter of the Goguryeo royal family.

The leader is the envoy of Baekje.

After seeing Jin Manqing's attire, he saluted twice in Baekje and Goguryeo: "My minister Baekje is envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and I didn't ask for your title!"

Since she is a princess, she should have a title.

The language of the Baekje envoy was not Chinese, so Xuejing naturally couldn't understand it.

But the two maids understood, and there was an obvious look of horror on their faces.

Naturally, Jin Manqing could also understand, feeling a little pain in her heart, but she replied very calmly: "I am a commoner!"

"Are you joking, are you a commoner?" The Baekje envoy's tone has changed somewhat.

"I'm a commoner!" Jin Manqing knew clearly that the other party was dealing with this matter based on their status.In Goguryeo, she was a medical woman among the lower court ladies.In Datang, she was a commoner, but this commoner was much more noble than her original status.

Snapped!A loud slap hit Jin Manqing's face.

"You lowly commoner, you stole the princess costume from there. Lowly commoner, you didn't take the initiative to step aside when you saw the superior. What is your name and identity?"

Xuejing still couldn't understand, but she saw that the man who had just snorted coldly was also going forward to beat Jin Manqing.

Jin Manqing was beaten, Xue Jing was already angry, another person stepped forward to fight again, Xue Jing couldn't ignore it, and immediately took out a short knife to protect Jin Manqing.

And Jin Manqing just covered her beaten face with one hand, and knelt on the cold stone floor, she was already stunned.

Her two maids knelt on the ground in fright, not to mention protecting the lord, it would be nice if they could stand up by themselves.

"Fucking Grandma Xiong!" The idler who was pushed first jumped up, took out a whistle and blew it desperately, and soon hundreds of whistles around responded.

Just when Xuejing felt the other party's vicious aura and couldn't help but want to back away, a horizontal knife blocked her face. "Please retreat, real person. There is someone here. Chang'an City of Tang Dynasty has its own rules of Chang'an!"

The visitor was seven feet tall, one-eyed, with a steel prosthetic hand on his left hand, and a horizontal scabbard in his right hand in front of Xue Jing.He was still wearing almost the same clothes as those idlers, except for a simple leather gauntlet.

Someone came forward, and Xue Jing felt much more at ease.

First, he stepped back and took out the medicine powder and handed it to the injured idler.

"Relax, my brothers in the East City will never let the guests be humiliated." The idle man took the medicine, disregarding his own injuries, and said An Xuejing's heart first.

More and more people came, dozens of idlers holding long sticks came over and quickly surrounded the Baekje envoy.

"I am the envoy of Dabaekje!"

"Don't be impulsive. The Baekje envoy represents Baekje. If you hurt him, you will be in great trouble!" Seeing that Jin Manqing was not hurt, Xuejing might have been frightened when she sat still on the ground.So stand up again to persuade the idlers: "Quickly go to the Yamen to report to the officials!"

Dongshi is Wuhou's shop, and Wuhou, who is in charge, will arrive soon.

After Xuejing spoke quickly about what happened here, she asked the Baekje envoy, "Are there any lies in what I said?"

"As the envoy of Dabaekje, beating people has nothing to do with you." The envoy of Baekje smiled coldly.

Xuejing also smiled coldly: "I will sue you for committing murder in the street. Since you are an envoy of Baekje, I am afraid that the small yamen gate will not be able to accept this case. Let's go to the Chang'an Lingyamen to fight this lawsuit!"

"It's none of your business to hit a bitch!" The Baekje envoy softened his tone.

"Are you going?" Xue Jing asked.

The Baekje envoy had a thought: "No, if you want to sue the officials, go ahead and sue, I have to report to Honglu Temple. If Tang Chang'an needs me to go to court to confront, I will naturally go."

"You hit someone, admit it or not."

"It's all about beating a bitch, how dare you deny it." The Baekje envoy said proudly.

"Paper and pen!" Xue Jing shouted loudly, and then pointed at the Baekje envoy: "How dare you sign and write down, if you beat someone in front of the poor Taoist, the poor Taoist will definitely sue you in front of the Chang'an order!"

The Baekje envoy smiled coldly, and signed the incident written by Xuejing.

"Excuse me, help her up, let's go!" Xue Jing knew that here, she had nothing to do with the Baekje envoy, the other party was an envoy representing a country, and she had no right or position.Even Marquis Wu here can't help it. Seeing that Jin Manqing is about to collapse, he has no choice but to leave first.

The surrounding people also shouted at this time: "If the real person needs proof, I will be willing to testify!"

After leaving Dongshi, Jin Manqing's nervous nerves finally broke, and she burst into tears.She is just a young girl, and the terrible status of Goguryeo is still deeply imprinted in her mind. A palace slave, a medical girl, even if she is killed by a nobleman, at most she will pay a little money to be buried. up.

Even, throw it directly to the outskirts and let the wild beasts devour it.

Xue Jing's face was also ashen, and with trembling hands, she took out her short knife and a one-cent silver coin, and handed it to the one-eyed idler: "Please hurry up to Qin Wangzhuang, find General Bai Erwa, or General Lu Maofeng , give this dagger and this confession to any general. Thank you!"

The one-eyed idler was originally a member of the remnant army, and he also had a job in Dongshi.

Looking at the dagger, although it is not the badge of Prince Qin's Mansion, it has the badge of Shennong Hall, and immediately said to the side: "Find an inn and settle me down."

After speaking, he didn't take the silver coin, just took the dagger and the confession, got on his horse and left.

In Chang'an City, galloping on horseback is prohibited, except for urgent military affairs.

The horse didn't dare to let it run, but just pulled the horse to let the horse run slowly, and at the same time shouted: "I am going out of the city to deliver a letter, folks, borrow a way, and I am going out of the city to deliver a letter! Folks...

In the inn, Jin Manqing cried so much that she almost passed out.

The two maidservants who were slaves were even more stunned, not only their eyes were dull, but the whole body was stunned and did not respond at all.Whether it was shouting, shaking, or slapping, there was no response at all.Xuejing had no choice but to ask an idle man to help knock out the two Goguryeo slave maids.

"Please send me another letter. There is her carriage outside the Imperial Academy of the Ministry of Rites. Her name is Jin Manqing. Then I will report to the Yamen of the Yaozhou Office outside the Shangjian Gate and tell them what happened today. I am afraid that she will not be able to make it tonight." I went back to Yaozhou. What a poor man, I hope Chang'an will accept this case."

"Waiting to report the letter, the real person will rest first, and later, I will ask someone to bring dinner!"

Xuejing is very generous and even treats the idlers to dinner.

This is another female priest of the Shennong Hall who is highly respected by the people of Chang'an. When something like this happens, the idlers will help as much as they can without charging money.Among them, a few idlers were looking around in the East City, to see if anyone understood what the Baekje envoy had just said.
