Dark Fairy

Chapter 145 The gathering of fish and dragons
There was nothing unusual on Bailang's face, it seemed that he was curious about the various arrangements in Shuanghualou, which was luxurious and elegant.

"This way, you two, your place is on the third floor."

In the middle of the hall on the first floor is a semicircular stage.The stage is surrounded by steps and seats in a semicircle, which are the closest to the stage and the best place to watch the performance.

The seats on the second floor extend out of the wing and are located in the corridor. The location here is worse than that on the first floor, but it is still a first-class location.

The third floor is not so comfortable. You need to lower your head, and what you see is also at an inclined angle. The experience is naturally much worse than the previous two locations.

"The seat on the first floor is reserved for the most elite merchants and dignitaries of the city lord's mansion here in Yongchuan City, as well as big businessmen and officials from other places. As well as literary giants and the like. Those who are qualified to sit there There can be almost four to fifty people.

The second floor is for people with second-class power and financial resources. If they want to sit on the second floor, they will sit on the second floor.The third floor is for people like you and me who just come to join in the fun.

The fourth floor above is basically an invitation card bought with ordinary money, and there is only a sound on it. "

Zhang Xun could tell that Bai Lang didn't know the rules of the show at all, so he opened his mouth to introduce some.Then he pointed to the lanterns around and said, "Have you seen the lanterns hanging everywhere? Look carefully, there is a hook underneath these lanterns. What do you think they are for?"

"Hang something?"

"Well, it's for a sign."

"brand?"

"Well, it's a crystal sign that costs money to hang up. At the end of the performance, the money will be paid to the person who puts the name on the sign. It's the same as choosing an oiran in a flower house. But today's sign is much more expensive than when choosing an oiran. . A sign costs one gold, and the lanterns closer to the stage are more expensive. Tsk tsk, you will see how rich the people here are later. The little money we earn from licking blood in the knife shop will be placed in This probably isn’t enough for other people’s drinking expenses for the night.”

There was ridicule in Zhang Xun's words, but Bai Lang could tell that Zhang Xun was not mocking those who were obsessed with life and money, but was mocking himself.

He must have arrived early. Looking down, Bai Lang could see that although there were many people gathered in twos and threes on the first floor, almost all of them were literati dressed as scholars.Obviously, these people will not all sit in the lobby on the first floor. Most of them are probably going to the fourth floor. A distinct circle.

"These scholars are also very interesting. Most of them don't have much money in their pockets, but they are very willing to give up to the sisters in the flower building. And the old bustards, turtles, and singers in the flower building praised them and said that they are serious. Listen. All the great literary talents are used to write songs for the sisters and singers here. After a long time, it will be useless. After all, writing songs is not very capable, and you can’t get status and fame.”

"Then Master Zhang thinks reading is useless?"

"No, no, no, I didn't say that reading is useless, but reading is only useful if you go to the officialdom. It's okay to play poems and songs in flower houses. If you really focus on it, you will be useless. Now Many people are trash in my opinion.

Do you still remember that Yu Zhongbing, who was involved in the case of the death of the envoy, advocated Yang Song?That is a typical person who relies on his knowledge to mix up his official status and soar into the sky.Not to mention being the leader of the army, he also served as the commander of the blood guards at the same time.How scary is this authority?
Let's not talk too far, let's just say this time, do you think that Zhang Yangsong will definitely die if he is implicated?Hey, reliable news, he is not dead!And he was picked up from the Yamen a few days ago. "

"Ah?" Bailang's eyes widened upon hearing this.During this period of time, he had heard a lot about the series of troubles caused by the murder case before, and the knife shop was the pond fish that was affected by this incident.It is said that including those hidden guards who had fought before, they were all executed.Then Zhang Yangsong, who is directly related, should surely die, right?After all, even people like Liu She were killed.

In the end, Zhang Yangsong is not dead yet? !
"Are you surprised? Hehe, Zhang Yangsong survived because of the ability he showed in Yuzhong, otherwise Yuzhong would put so much effort to protect him?
So, reading is actually the same as our martial arts practice, it should be used in the right place.Otherwise, the fart is useless.

Oh, you see, when it comes to Yuzhong City, those people over there are from Yuzhong. "

While speaking, Zhang Xun pointed to the few people who had just walked in through the gate.

When Bai Lang heard this, he looked over and found that although the people Zhang Xun mentioned were wearing robes, they did not have a scholarly temperament when walking, and had an obvious murderous aura.But it is different from the sword shop, and the sword hanging on the waist is also long.And even though they were far away, Bai Lang could feel that these two people were both Qi Refiners, and their reactions were very strong. They were both better than Tang Yan that Bai Lang had ever seen!

"Are these people from the army?"

"Yes, the person in the lead is Xue Bao, who is in charge of the Yuzhong Army, and Liu Jianyu, who is in charge of the Zuo Army. These two are the two of the three swords in the Yuzhong Army."

"Zhang Yangsong, the master of the army, only narrowly escaped death, and these two showed up in Yongchuan again. Could it be that they are here to show off their might?"

"It's possible, but the affairs of the army are very complicated, and Zhang Yangsong is a literati in charge of the military. I heard that he is not very good at dealing with the three soldiers. He holds the power of inspection and strategic planning in the army. He can usually suppress it. Well, this time I almost capsized and died, and I don't know if I can convince the public in the future.

I think Xue Bao and Liu Jianyu may have come here for the envoy who is still in Yongchuan City. "

Bailang had been listening without answering. His knowledge was limited to the small area of ​​Yongchuan City, and he knew very little about the situation in Yuzhong Prefecture.Regarding Jun Wu, Bailang only knew that the power to control Jun Wu came from the capital and not from the Yuzhong Prefecture.

That is to say, the recruitment and leadership of the three soldiers in Yuzhong are all decided by the state and not under the control of the state government.

However, the state government has certain limited power to command and inspect these three soldiers in Yuzhong.In other words, Zhang Yangsong held the position of military leader and was dispatched by Zhou Chong, the leader of the state capital.

This is still the complicated relationship that Bailang has heard about. In fact, how many details are there? Bailang feels that the senior officials of Yuzhong Army Wuli may not be able to clarify until later.

As for why there are no soldiers in Yongchuan City, it is because they are not qualified enough.Generally, only state capitals will allocate troops.

Having said this, Zhang Xun pursed his lips, and another group of people came in at this time.All of them had short knives hanging on their waists, and their bodies also had a murderous aura, and their faces impressed even Bailang.

Especially the man in front of him, wearing a dark red warrior robe, a black crown on his head, a long beard, and a tall and thin figure.The body also has the fluctuations of the Qi Refiner.

"Lin Yue actually came in person, and more than half of the red knife under his hand came. Tsk tsk, Bailang, these people will definitely not fart on us later."

"Where are those people over there? Does Mr. Zhang know their origins?" Bai Lang didn't care too much about the people in the forest knife shop, but seemed interested in the group of gorgeously dressed people who came in after the people in the forest knife shop.

Zhang Xun looked sideways and said, "It should be a wealthy businessman from other places. I'm unfamiliar with it."

Bailang interjected: "Rich merchants? Master Zhang, don't you think the aura of the guards behind these rich merchants is weird?"

"Guards? Weird?" After hearing this, Zhang Xun carefully looked at the silent warrior guards following the new group of wealthy businessmen downstairs.

After watching for a while, Zhang Xun turned to look at Bailang and said, "You have a sharp eye. Those people must be the guys from Yuzhong who sneaked in. Yuzhong Sword Hall? Hehe."
