Jinyi Night Walk

Xia Xun quietly talked about Zhuozhou City, and didn't know about the government, so he only stayed in an inn, and then sent a calm guard to the prefect's yamen to inquire about the situation, and the other guards took leave to play in the city.Xia Xun also kept a few guards by his side, and when the shift changed in the evening, he asked them to continue their work.

Xia Xun called for hot water to wash and take a bath, and came out refreshed. Seeing that the guard who had gone to the government office to inquire about the news had not returned, he changed into a light and comfortable robe, and led a few personal guards out the door.

In the past, Xia Xun used to be annoyed by those important people who would crowd around and block the streets when they went out. The rare policemen were everywhere. The hatchback is crowded with people, just waiting for the public servant to roar past, so if he has to, he doesn't like to show off, so that he can feel relieved physically and mentally wherever he walks, so why bother the people.

Zhuozhou is a famous historical city. Since Zhuo County was established in Qin Dynasty, Zhuo County was established in Han Dynasty, and Fanyang County was established in Wei Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms.Emperor Zhaolie of Han Dynasty Liu Bei, Marquis of Han Huan Zhang Fei, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, Eastern Han Dynasty official Lu Zhi, Sixth Patriarch Huineng, Northern Wei geographer Li Daoyuan, Tang Dynasty famous poets Lu Zhaolin, Jia Dao, etc., among them the most famous natural It is the Lu family with five surnames and seven Wangs in the Tang Dynasty.

Where there are many scenic spots, there are many literati who will arrange a seat and decide on eight or ten scenic spots.Zhuozhou is no exception. There are also eight scenic spots here, such as clearing the needles and dredging rain, Lousang at spring evening, moon pool autumn wind, Hu Liang Xiaoyue, Long'an emerald green, chalk valley with clouds, Panpo sunset, Fangshan clear snow, etc., Xia Xun Walking in the city, there was an idler named Huang Si'er, who could tell from his appearance that he was from another place. He hurriedly stepped forward to flatter and describe the scenery one by one, hoping to attract guests to visit and get a few words to guide the way. money.

Xia Xun also found it interesting to hear it. He knew that since the Tang and Song Dynasties there had been many idlers who specialized in doing various chores in the city to earn a living, but he didn't know that they also had jobs as tour guides. After a while, Xia Xun wanted to go and see it until his mouth was dry. It's just that some of these scenery are only beautiful at the corresponding time or climate, and some are dozens of miles away from the city. Wanting to relax, why would he walk so far, so he asked someone to give Huang Si a few pennies, and sent him away with a smile.

As soon as Huang Si saw that the customer was generous enough, he left without hesitation, and said, "Since the customer does not want to leave the city, there is also a beautiful scenery nearby. That is, in the northeast of the city, there is a temple with a high tower in the west. It is said that the twin pagodas were built by a pair of skillful sisters-in-law, and it took only one night. When you look at the pagodas on a sunny day, it seems that there are a few blue smoke rising from the top of the pagodas. "

Xia Xun said with a smile: "I heard you say it's so miraculous, then go and have a look."

In fact, the pagoda was built in the Liao Dynasty, and the surrounding scenery is quite impressive, but it is much worse than what the idle man said.The scenery in this world is like this out of ten, seeing it once is worse than hearing it once, listening to it, reading it in a book, it is like a fairyland in the world, until it is there to see it, it is nothing more than that.Fortunately, Xia Xun was here to relax, but he didn't pick others. He just listened to what Huang Si said and just walked around with a smile all the way.Seeing that this young man was so easy to talk to, Huang Si was still a little afraid to see that he was accompanied by several burly men, but at this moment his mind became active.

Seeing that it was noon, Huang Si said, "Young master, do you want to have some food near here? There are some snacks here, which have a special flavor."

Xia Xun's subordinates were all big-bellied men who were already a little hungry, and Xia Xun also felt a little hungry, so he led the leader and said, "Sure, you lead the way, as long as the food is delicious, I will give you a few more." Wen reward money."

Huang Si couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this, so he led the way and led Lou Xun to a restaurant.

Seeing that the restaurant was not big, and there were not many people there during the meal, it was very deserted. Xia Xun frowned unconsciously, feeling a little inappropriate.He didn't want to put on a show here. In all honesty, many dishes that are both delicious and delicious are actually just for show. They are not as good as the unrefined Hengtou snacks in his mouth. Xia Xun really wanted to Taste the local flavor, but a restaurant does not see a few customers when it is time to eat, I am afraid that the taste of the food...

When the shopkeeper saw the guests, he was extremely enthusiastic. He quickly gave up his seat, poured a few bowls of warm tea that had lost its taste, and graciously asked Xia Xun to order.The recipes are hanging above the counter. The names of the dishes are mostly elegant. The people Xia Xun brought were all strong men, and they couldn't eat without the dishes. Xia Xun actually ordered several times. The owner of the small shop beamed with joy, put on his apron excitedly, and went. Look at the appearance, the owner of the shop is also a chef.

That Huang Si did not eat with them, and the guards would not allow him to serve. Huang Si bought a set of donkey meat from across the street, and stood at the intersection to eat it. He said hello and politely called Huang Siye, and Huang Si agreed with a murmur.

Those who greeted him, judging from their looks and expressions, were also street ruffians.

Lao Ping saw this situation in his eyes, and said to Xia Xun: "Duke, I'm afraid this Huang Si'er is not a good idea."

Xia Xun smiled and said: "Come out to relax, casually, I'm tired of walking, as long as the food is still good, I'll bring you a good meal in the evening. I'm afraid Huang Si'er is a little bullying us as foreigners, no Passing... This is not a wild place, and it will never be a black shop that makes human flesh buns..."

Just as he was talking, the boss came out of the back kitchen with two dishes, and his thumb was stuck in the vegetable soup, dripping and dripping, which was not ugly.

Seeing him like this, Xia Xun frowned, and seeing the dish again, Xia Xun frowned even more, and asked, "Shopkeeper, did I order these two dishes?"

The shopkeeper said with a pleasant smile, "Yes, sir, this is the 'Mother and Child Meeting' and 'Green Dragon Lying in the Snow' you ordered."

Xia Xun looked down at the plate of fried bean sprouts with soybeans and the tofu dregs with a small slice of cucumber sticks on it, and asked, "How much are these two dishes?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Guest officer, look at what you said, the meal hasn't been finished yet, why count it as a charge, when the dishes are ready, you can count it together when you are full."

Xia Xun continued to ask, "How much are these two dishes?"

The shopkeeper stopped laughing, and said with a tense face: "Mother and son meet, three hundred Wen, Qinglong Woxue five hundred Wen."

Xia Xun took a deep breath and said to the dumbfounded old man beside him: "Old man, I'm afraid we won't be able to do whatever we want!"

As soon as Xia Shi's words fell, the old man jumped up, grabbed the shopkeeper's collar and broke it.Cursed: "Your mother, bullying me!"

"Hey, oh, you foreigners, why do you still bully others? The folks in the village and the neighbors in Hengfang come to see, the foreigners are bullying people!"

Six shouts from the shopkeeper, a few people rushed in outside the store to see the speed and posture, they were clearly prepared, the old spray didn't even look at the few people rushing in from outside, and raised his hands to "snap, slap, slap" With a big ear, he cursed: "I call you 'Mother and Child Meeting'! I call you 'Qinglong Woxue! Meet your mother! Lying your mother!"

Lao Ping was beating while talking, and the shopkeeper's teeth were gone, his face was swollen, and his mouth was covered with blood.

"What's the matter, why did the fight start when it was fine?"

Seeing this, Huang Si hurriedly squeezed into the crowd, and the shopkeeper immediately cried out: "Master Huang, these villains want to eat the king's meal and bully others..."

Huang Si still wanted to talk, but Xia Xun was not willing to let him babble, his face sank, and he shouted: "If you don't want to lose your interest, all of them will be sent to the government!"

Xia Xun gave an order, and the guards around him immediately jumped up. Although those rascals can be ambidextrous, they are no match for these veterans of hundreds of battles. In a short while, all of them were knocked down on the ground with plump noses and swollen faces. The small restaurant was also smashed to pieces.Huang Si saw that he was beating people like this, and he was confident that he wanted to file a lawsuit with the locals like them, knowing that he encountered a difficult problem, he couldn't help but secretly regretted his mistake.

A few people from the old man searched out the ropes from the house, tied the rogues into a string and dragged them to the yamen. Xia Xun also walked behind, inquiring all the way. As soon as the horse came, people beat the horse like flying, and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Xia Xun took a closer look, and couldn't help being surprised. Although the man changed into casual clothes immediately, he had just seen him, so how could he not recognize him? This man was clearly Yin Shenghui, the thousand householders in brocade clothes he had seen in the suburbs.

Yin Shenghui and his subordinates were originally tied into the city by the official named Xiao Zujie, saying that they were going to be thrown into prison, but only a few hours later, this Yin Shenghui unexpectedly appeared on the street boldly.

Xia Xun dodged by the side of the road, watching that Yin Shenghui ran down the south city, whipping his whip like an inch.He turned back full of suspicion, and was about to ask someone to send those hooligans who blackmailed the guests into the government office first, when he saw several people riding fast horses coming again, one of them was the guard he had sent to the government to inquire about the news .

Xia Xun had so many people standing there, why couldn't the guard see him? When he saw him from afar, he said something to an official who was by his side, and the official looked at Xia Xun , The horse was still seven or eight feet away, so he reined in and dismounted, and hurried up to meet him.

Seeing that he was about to salute, Xia Xun hurriedly stopped him and said, "My country's official came here in low clothes, so don't salute in the street."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The official quickly stopped his kneeling position, and said in a respectful voice, "I have seen Zhao Zijin, the official judge of Zhuozhou, and I have seen the Duke!"

The guard also hurried over and saw a few companions standing there with a few people tied up, and one of them was wearing a cooking apron with oil-stained twists, he couldn't help asking in wonder, "What's the matter?"

The old man told the cause and effect, then Zhao Tong would not be angry at all, and he would beat the prince on the head of the country. Isn't this trying to die?Gritting his teeth with hatred, Zhao Tongpan immediately asked a patrol inspector who came with him to take those rogues back to the government office for rectification. Those rogues were frightened when they heard that this good-tempered young man who was always smiling turned out to be a prince. The decency seemed to be sifting through the chaff, and Huang Si'er was dragged by someone, and the hem of the short robe had already peed on his trousers in fright.

When those people were taken away, Zhao Tongjuan immediately said to Xia Xun: "Master, this is not a place to talk, should you find a quiet place, and then let the officials report one by one? Don't worry, Lord. , The news of your presence here is only known to the lower officials, and it is not known to your colleagues in Zhuozhou."

Xia Xun was wondering why Yin Shenghui, who had just been taken down by force, appeared on the street in such a good manner, and what happened to Xiao Zujie and Yin Shenghui. Of course, these things cannot be asked on the street. Then nodded, Zhao Zijin was overjoyed, and quickly led Xia Xun to go respectfully...
