After many inspections, we finally stepped into Luoyang City as we wished. Sure enough, as the person said before, there is one post in five steps and one post in Luoyang City, and one sentry in ten steps, and it is heavily guarded. There aren't many pedestrians on the streets, and the huge city looks empty.

"Alas, what is the eastern capital of Luoyang, it is not as good as Chang'an. I sighed against the window.

Yuan Zhao's hearty laughter came from outside: "Senior brother, Luoyang is much bigger than Chang'an!"

"What's the use of big, it's not angry at all. ”

"It must be the new martial law decree issued by the imperial court, if it is usual, you come to see, Luoyang is much more prosperous than Chang'an. ”

The carriage came to a stop at a store called "Feng Ji Qian Zhuang" in the east of the city, and Yuan Zhao beckoned me to come down and went to lift the curtain and call the door. I got out of the car and looked around, and almost all the shops on one street were as closed as this bank. Yuan Zhao knocked on the door for a while, only to see a person flash out of the door, making a gesture for us to enter. I followed Yuan Zhao inside, and he quickly closed the door again.

"Miss, the old man is so polite. Before I could stand firm, the man came up to me.

"This is Lao Li, Master is his savior, and Master's money bank is taken care of by him. Yuan Zhao made an introduction on the side. I suddenly remembered that once when there was not much silver at home, my mother told the family to go to Luoyang Lao Li to get the silver taels.

"Are you the old Li of Luoyang that your mother said you would be?" I asked.

"It's the old body. He confessed his identity. In the past, I still wondered where the money and grain of a huge mountain village on Zhongnan Mountain came from, but now I understand that the food we eat is supplied by the villagers of Duanjiazhuang, and the silver spent comes from this Feng Ji money village.

"Brother Li, what's wrong with this Luoyang? I'm not angry at all?" Yuan Zhao asked him as soon as he sat down.

"It's good to be angry? Lao Li sighed and said: "You may not know that the Holy Lord urgently ordered eight princes to enter Beijing and want to establish a prince. The world is said to be critically ill, if this is the case, once the emperor rides the crane, the capital is afraid that there will be a bloody storm, so everyone easily dare not go out, for fear of causing trouble. ”

This kind of thing has happened more than once in history. The most famous is Qi Huan Gong, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period because he did not deal with the problem of heirs, but on the day of his death, several sons began to lead their own troops to fight, and ignored his corpse, so that they all gave birth to maggots in the end.

"Why didn't the Holy One appoint the crown prince earlier, but it has to be delayed until now?" I was a little puzzled.

Lao Li was shocked when he heard this: "I wait for the grass people, talking about state affairs in vain, but it is a serious crime to punish the nine clans!" Lao Li's words made me realize that talking about these issues might bring trouble to myself, so I kept silent.

"Brother Li, Xiaoxiao and I are going to Jiangling, and my wife ordered me to come and get some silver taels to wrap around. In order to ease the atmosphere, Yuan Zhao put the matter on the table.

"Okay, please come with me!" Lao Li finished speaking, and led us to the back room. It was a small reception room, with only a few simple pieces of furniture, a few calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and a statue of a golden toad on the table. There is no mystery from the outside.

I saw Lao Li pick up a teapot on the table, walk to the table, and pour water over the head of the golden toad. After waiting for a while, Lao Li took Yuan Zhao to the east wall, and with a hard push, the wall turned into a revolving door.

"Do you want to go in?" Motoaki asked me back, and I shook my head. After the two entered, the wall returned to its original state. When I approached the golden toad, I found that there was a very small hole in the top of its head, and I couldn't imagine that the mechanism of the secret room was actually here, and I had to admire the creativity of the ancients.

While I was working on this mechanism, I suddenly heard a knock on the door from outside. I hurriedly ran out, opened the door, and saw that it was several soldiers. I looked at them suspiciously, wondering what they were going to do?

"Are you the owner of this shop?" the lead one asked, and I nodded and shook my head again.

"Dude?" I nodded affirmatively this time. Who would have thought that he threw me a blank piece of paper full of words, and asked me in a loud voice: "Who told you to park the carriage at the door, what does the ban say? Quickly lead the carriage and horses to the courtyard, and the Marquis of Guan Neihou will arrive in a moment!" I ran out in a panic to take a look, and sure enough, we were the only ones on the road who tied the carriage and horses to the bolted horse post at the door.

I hurriedly ran over to untie the reins of the horse, but Yuan Zhao tied the reins very tightly, and he couldn't untie them with the strength of breastfeeding, but a few soldiers next to him stood and talked without backache, and scolded me to hurry up and untie the horse away. I really had no choice but to say to the soldier in a good voice: "Master Jun, the little man's strength is too small to untie it, please wait a while, and I'll go to the house to find a helper to come back." ”

I thought anxiously: Isn't it just to take a piece of silver, why can't those two people come out?

"You can't even untie the reins of a horse, you're such a waste!" a soldier reluctantly went over to help me untie the reins, and I quickly thanked him. But I heard the sound of carriages and horses coming from the mouth of the alley, and a team from a distance came over.

"Hey, are you stupid, you still don't kneel when you see the honor guard of Guan Neihou?" The soldier saw that I was still standing there stupidly, and hurriedly reminded me in a low voice, when I saw that the people on the street had indeed knelt down, I also quickly knelt down, and quietly looked up to see a person in full costume sitting firmly on a gorgeous chariot in the center of the procession, although the curtain of the chariot made it impossible for me to see his face clearly, but the graceful and luxurious bearing was not something ordinary people could learn.

I had to pray secretly in my heart, that Hou had better not care about the carriage and horses next to me, otherwise I don't know what trouble I will get into. Luckily, he didn't pay attention to the horses. As the chariot passed me, I let out a long sigh of relief. Suddenly, the honor guard suddenly beat gongs and drums!

"Bang Bang-" The shrill sound caught people off guard, and the two horses were also frightened, and actually rushed straight towards the team. I was so panicked that I didn't hold the reins. Two frightened horses dragged the cart and broke up the honor guard at once.

The sudden commotion caught the people on the chariot off guard, and after a short moment of panic, an angry look appeared on his face, glaring at me who was trying to hold back two frantic horses!

Having finally subdued the two horses, I trembled and knelt in the middle of the road, pleading guilty to the officials on the footsteps.

"The villain didn't know that the adult had arrived, and he inadvertently bumped into the adult, please forgive the adult!" I prostrate on the ground and didn't dare to look up.

"Forgiveness?" the person on the chariot sneered: "Judge!" "The minister is here!" A person behind him immediately ran to the chariot and knelt on his knees. "What is the crime of colliding with the princely guard of honor?" The voice was very young, but it was full of gloom. "According to the "Cheng Law", rush into the princely honor guard, and cut it off!" I got up suddenly, I couldn't believe my ears, and the young and handsome Guan Neihou in front of me looked at me with a smile, his eyes were full of mockery, and his mouth said: "Then why don't you do it?" Several soldiers came to me in response, and at this time, my mind was blank, am I really going to die here?
