There is such a merciless garrison in Wei'an City, such a strict military discipline, and it is completely a loyal sergeant under the command of the adult, and the good people are so valued, what other place can be safer than here?

After Xie Wanqing finished vomiting, not only did she not leave, but she firmly decided to stay.

Of course, piles of corpses, the north gate of the river of blood still have to be avoided from afar, such an eerie, like a human prison place, I don't want to visit it in the future.

Fortunately, the north gate of Wei'an City was originally a place for the sergeant brigade to pass, and ordinary people in the city were forbidden to enter and exit.

People like Xie Wanqing and Ruizhu who entered Wei'an City for the first time and saw this kind of scene for the first time were all frightened with white faces and soft feet, but after the people of Wei'an City returned from the north gate, they were the same as before, and the people who did small business continued to do small business, opened shops and went to the market, which were still lively and unaffected.

Outsiders like them can understand the joy in the hearts of the people in the city.

The previous garrison was in the middle of the period, his soldiers and horses were stationed in the inner city, waving the banner of defending the city to the death, but secretly robbed the property of the people in the city at will, wives and daughters, slightly angered and killed people on the street, how many people in the city dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and those who lost their relatives hated to eat their flesh and bones, and the people were in dire straits every day, and they were miserable, and the reason why they endured it was just to hope that they could keep the city.

But when the Huns attacked the city, the garrisons and soldiers who were supposed to defend the city were so frightened that they abandoned the city from the north gate and fled overnight, without even firing the city gate cannon.

Such a tragic rout, for all the soldiers of the Acropolis, is a shame, for the people in the city, it is even more desperate, the city of Wei'an is a mess, if it is not for Lord Xie with his soldiers and horses to kill the thorns, repelled the Huns, this city may have been breached, burned, and turned into ashes.

At that time, Lord Xie was just a small chief guard officer, and now he is the garrison of Wei'an City, which is for the people in the city, I don't know what kind of hope they have, and cheered hard.

Today's disgusting bloody scene not only did not damage Lord Xie's prestige in the hearts of the people in the slightest, but raised his height again.

Along the way, everyone was talking excitedly.

"Miss, have you heard, then Lord Xie is actually from a commoner, how is it possible? How can you be an official as a civilian? "Or an officer guarding a city? Ruizhu was a little stunned, and asked while holding her own lady.

Since ancient times, officials have all been born in families, although innocent civilians also have the qualifications for the imperial examination, but they have no background, and there is no silver to study in vain, how to talk about a bright future.

Besides, it is still started by the lowest soldiers, and it can only be called a miracle to get to this point, I don't know what kind of shit luck it took to do it, and it was hard for Ruizhu to believe it.

Unable to smell the smell of blood, Tan Wan recovered some strength and brushed the hair of some wolves between her foreheads, and did not need to be supported by Ruizhu.

Ruizhu's surprise she also felt incredible, and the Qixin Dynasty in which she was in didn't know where it came from, but the breath of this **, all dynasties and generations were similar, plus the death of the first emperor, leaving only a few years old little prince, even if there were ministers in the court who were temporarily in charge of the government, but in the end there was a layer of difference, and the capital was still like this, not to mention the far border of the Tiangao Emperor.

Under this kind of degenerate officialdom and bureaucratic shady scenes, it is unimaginable that he can be a civilian and mix with the position of a four-grade garrison, and such military exploits are afraid that he has been exchanged for his life several times.

"The prime minister starts from the state capital, and the fierce general is drawn from the army, that's what he said." She said softly, "Although the Hun Tartars are fierce, they are also an opportunity for talented people. ”

"What Miss said is that if it weren't for those Hun Tartars, maybe he would just be a city gate guard now, and he would never have the majesty he has today."

"I can't judge like this, I have a chance, but I also have to look at the people, I didn't listen to what the people around me said, before Lord Xie took office, he was extremely brave, unparalleled in riding and shooting, not only had the courage to charge into battle, took risks to resist the enemy, but also sympathized with the soldiers, deeply loved, and the people's hearts, if this is not promoted, then there is no one to defend this city."

"Oh, miss, these are all exaggerated words of some urban wells, how can you follow the letter, there is only a martial artist left and right, and he only knows how to fight and kill every day, and he is very vulgar, thinking of the situation just now, my heart is still stunned, or don't talk about him."

This dynasty emphasizes literature and light martial arts, women love talents, rude martial artists always can't raise their faces, although Ruizhu is a maid, she can't help it, but she is also like other girls, like those talented and beautiful women in the painting book, and despise only brute force martial arts, this idea is deeply rooted.

Where does Ruizhu, who has been kept in the house, know that when the country's catastrophe comes, those talented people who chant poetry and dance and ink can't keep their homes, and they rely on those vulgar martial artists to fight and kill, and fight for their lives to win the country.

Tan Wanqing just thought about it in her heart, but she didn't really talk about it, she just told Ruizhu a few words, they are now standing on other people's territory, and some things must not be said casually, so as not to be heard and cause trouble.

Ruizhu repeatedly agreed, and the two began to remember where they would stay at night.

It was only at this time that Ruizhu was very happy, fortunately, the young lady had always hidden gold, otherwise even if they got the household registration and proved that they were from the Zhuangzi on the edge of the city, they would have mixed into the city, and if there was no money, there would be nowhere to settle down.

Life is not familiar, want to in the huge city, to find a satisfactory place to live, it is not easy, if only rely on the two of them to ask around, wear out the mouth, three or five days may not be found, so, this matter has to find the tooth woman.

In addition to buying and selling slaves and maids, she also sells rouge and pollen business, and the center also introduces some business to people.

As for whether they will deceive them and pit more money after finding them, it can only depend on luck.

The two inquired all the way and found an ordinary house in front of the door, where three or five women were sitting at the gate of the courtyard, munching melon seeds and chatting with each other, and someone asked aloud: "Is this Zhang Yapo's house?" ”

A woman in her forties who turned her back to them replied, "Ouch, I'm here for business, so I won't tell you." Quickly patted off the melon seed skin on her body, turned around and greeted her, and the woman's eyebrows were extremely sleek and shrewd.

Before he got closer, he had already looked up and down at the two women who came to the door, Zhang Yapo was also an old man who had been in the business for more than ten years in this area, and her eyes were very neat, and she looked at the two of them at a glance.

The faces of these two girls are somehow, the same gray and dirty, although they don't look eye-catching, but the facial features and face plate are Peugeot, especially the one on the right, if you put a few more layers of pink lip thrush and clean it up, you can also get on the table, the age is not very old, it should not be more than two years, the clothes on the body are very old, it is estimated that the money is tight, find here, you have to sell yourself to make some money.

Zhang Yapo has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and most of the women are looking for maids, concubines, prostitutes, and appointments are these three.

So when the woman on the right asked where she could rent a house, Zhang Yapo smiled and looked again.

There are a lot of people who come to rent on weekdays, but most of the men drag their families with their families, and very few young women come, seeing the two of them dressed not only in Wei'an City, but also so poor, I don't know if they can really afford to rent.

Zhang Yapo thought in her heart, but said in her mouth: "There are a lot of houses in the city, high-rise households, small farmhouses, expensive and cheap, far and near, I don't know what kind of two girls want to rent?" ”

"Our two sisters are new to Chadao, they don't have a lot of money, they just want to find a stable place to live, they don't have to be big, as long as two or three rooms can live in people, and it would be better if they could bring a yard."

When Zhang Yapo heard this, she immediately said: "That girl is a coincidence, I have such a house on hand, but we have to make it clear first, no matter whether the girl can find a suitable place to live in the end, we can't miss a cent of the errand fee for half a tael of silver." ”

"Half a tael? That's too much errands, isn't it? As soon as Zhang Yapo opened her mouth, it was half a tael, which made Rui Zhu puff out her eyes, Miss had exchanged a piece of broken silver with gold leaf before, and it was only more than two taels, so she had to remove half a tael, she was just running an errand, which was worth the money.

In the past, in Tanfu, this amount of money was naturally not eye-catching, but now she and the young lady have a lot of money in hand, and they have to take out half a tael at once, even Ruizhu unconsciously hurts.

"Girl, this world is chaotic, what is not expensive? Now there are many people who have moved into Wei'an City, there are many people, rice is expensive, food is also rising, drinking saliva costs money, we are not easy to earn the hard-earned money of these errands, the house used to be rented for 800 wen a month, and now it has risen to one or two silver, accompany the Hakka to see round and round, the shoes are worn out, if you don't believe it, girl, you can ask at will in this piece, and see if the price I Zhang Pozi asks you for is fair. ”

"Justice? I think you just want more! Ruizhu muttered dissatisfiedly.

Tan Wanqing was mentally prepared when she came, people like them who have just entered the city must be deceived with some silver, who will be slaughtered if they don't slaughter you, who will make you unfamiliar with life, people will make this money, even if they turn around now and find the second tooth woman, it is still the same.

Why bother again, and half a tael of silver is not too much, it is normal to ask for about three hundred Wen, after a little thought, he said directly: "Then bother Zhang Yapo." ”

Seeing that the two of them really got half a tael of silver, Zhang Yapo was also overjoyed, and immediately said attentively: "Girl, rest assured, there are many vacant houses in these streets, and you will definitely be able to find a satisfactory place for the girl." ”

Wei'an City covers a wide area, four streets and six squares, three main roads are Dongmen Street, Gumen Street, South Gate Street, the north gate is close to the city wall, and it is the place where officials and soldiers are stationed on weekdays.

Zhang Yapo's mouth is not idle, where to go, Tan Wanqing and Ruizhu listened carefully, and also touched the location of the streets in the city.

East Street is mostly rich households, Valley Street is an important place for grain and grass to be placed, all the major rice warehouses are here, if it comes to the day of collecting the grain and grass of the military households, this street is the most lively, usually the major rice lines transport goods and horses are mostly in and out of this road, the North Street needless to say, the military stronghold, the South Street is the most lively, most of the people in the city gather here.

In addition to the three main streets, it is also subdivided into lanes and several districts, such as Menxia Fang, Dianshufang, etc.

Zhang Yapo mainly walks around in the South Street and several streets, which are extremely lively places, where the two main streets are connected, the streets are full of teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops, and small vendors.

There is a vacant room here, the interval is not big, the size is just right, Zhang Yapo will bring people, the owner of the house is a good boast, the advantages are obvious, the transportation is convenient, the access is convenient, the independent courtyard is next to the market, all of them are bad, it is a little miscellaneous.

Tan Wanqing only looked around, stood at the door and didn't even ask the price, so she shook her head.

If they are civilians, there is some trouble here, but it is also a convenient place to live, but their identity is fake, such a place of three religions and nine streams, exposing people's strengths and weaknesses, passing on people's selfishness, reversing black and white, and telling right and wrong is not a few, two people live here, it is inevitable that some people will be suspicious and see the identity clues.

The woman thought she liked to be pure, and found a quiet courtyard, far away from the market, and there were a few vacant houses around, and there were not many people coming and going.

Tan Wanqing still shook her head, it is quiet here, but she and Ruizhu are women, and they are too remote to live in, for fear that there will be no way to ask for help when they encounter gangsters.

In order not to take the wrong road, Tan Wanqing told Zhang Yapo in detail about her requirements, Zhang Yapo also wanted to finish this errand earlier, and after thinking about it, she said: "There is a house quite close to North Street, which meets the girl's requirements, it is not remote, although there are people, but it is quieter than the market."

The officers and soldiers often pass by that road when they enter the valley street, so there are very few thieves, and the two girls don't have to worry about the night, but they are far away from South Street, but there is a market nearby, which is also open at night, it is very lively, and the food and drink on the stalls are complete, cheap and convenient, but the price of the rent is ......"

"Straight to the point."

"Don't hide it from the two, that house is a good top, complete furniture, three main houses with a small yard, a merchant lived before, and then moved to East Street, the original house is empty, because of the good location, the rent is not two prices, two taels of silver a month."

"Two taels of silver, a month?" Rui Zhu has been silent on the side, and after listening to it, he began to drum his eyes again, two taels a month, twenty-four taels a year, this is money, this is fatal! The money in her and young lady's hands was only more than sixty taels of silver, which went to more than one-third, and the flowers that would be eaten in the future were all spent like this, where is the rest of the money enough!

"Sister, why don't we go back and look at the first house?" Ruizhu looked at the tooth woman.

Tan Wanqing knew in her heart that the two places she had seen before, one of which had too much risk of being discovered, and the other had a high chance of encountering gangsters, so she couldn't live there.

In fact, the most important thing for them at the moment is not money, but safety, without security, what is the use of keeping money? After thinking about it, I still asked Zhang Yapo to take them to the house they said to have a look.

Zhang Yapo was very surprised, and secretly looked away, these two people can not only afford to pay half of her hard work, but also can afford to rent a house for two taels of silver and one month, and they can't be disgraced as real people.

Since the house is expensive, the overall is still eye-catching, although it is smaller, but it is also complete, bedroom, main room, washing ear room, and small kitchen are all available, although the yard has not been taken care of for a long time, some flowers and plants are dead and clean, but there are sparse three or two peach trees to meet the scene, although the wall is not high, but it is also strong.

And just as Zhang Yapo said, this is only a hutong away from the North Street, and under the nose of the garrison, no one dares to make trouble, and there is no need to mention safety.

After taking a closer look, Tan Wanqing directly ignored Ruizhu's speechless gaze, counted all the broken silver in his hand, handed it over, and settled the house.

Zhang Yapo got half a tael of silver, and smiled with her eyebrows, the house rented by the two of them was very cost-effective, the furniture was good, and there was no need to buy anything, but this cover and pots and pans needed to be prepared by themselves.

sent Zhang Yapo away, and agreed with the main family about the day of collecting rent every month, and the two finally moved in.

After an afternoon of running, once she relaxed, Tan Wanqing was already crumbling, only to feel that her legs were numb like lead, and she couldn't help but sit down on a chair in the house.

Firewood in the kitchen, charcoal for heating, two thick bedding when it's cold is indispensable, rice, flour, oil, salt, pots and pans need to be bought, their change of clothes also have to be purchased, and there are many needle-headed objects, Tan Wanqing just rested for a while, and was dizzy by her fast words, and couldn't help but send her out.

Rubbing his head, he poured out the remaining gold leaves from his purse and counted them in the palm of his hand.

There was a little sadness on his face, these gold leaves were exchanged for silver and looked a lot, but they didn't use it, bought a house, and left the rent for half a year, and there were very few left, maybe they could barely survive the winter, but if there was no more input, she and Ruizhu would have to eat the northwest wind in the coming year.
