Chapter 127: Busking has a trap
Xu Xuan put away the silver on the bed, this silver was given by someone, Xu Xuan didn't want it in vain, and of course he wouldn't pretend to be high, and pushed the silver out.
After all, to save Wang Fengshan from prison, what is needed is silver, generally speaking, this kind of thing is best to have a certain way, but when Xu Xuan came here, his eyes were black, and he didn't know where to start, since there was no way, he had to find a way, and the best way to find a way was to smash it out with gold and silver.
Xu Xuan picked up the silver on the bed with difficulty, he needed to find a place to store the silver, as for taking it out, it was impossible, because a pound in the Song Dynasty was sixteen taels, as it was said in film and television dramas, buying things directly to fifty taels of big ingots, which was actually impossible in ancient times, because after careful calculation, a fifty taels of ingots was enough to have more than three catties.
Therefore, after the implementation of the silver standard by the government, what was born immediately was a variety of ticket numbers for depositing silver, which was a special financial institution that spanned the Ming and Qing dynasties, appeared in advance in this era.
What Xu Xuan had to do was to send the silver to the ticket number and exchange it for a silver ticket, or a step further, to exchange it for a Jiaozi guaranteed by the court's reputation. The reason why the Jiaozi of the Great Song Dynasty did not completely replace the silver ticket number is because most people have doubts about this kind of paper money in the imperial court, and feel that it is far less credible than the ticket number that pays attention to reputation and integrity, and the ticket number has slowly extended to the areas controlled by the Mongols, and invisibly, the silver ticket has become a special currency that can be used together in the north and south.
Xu Xuan, who came out of the ticket number Deshengxiang, gently pressed the two hundred taels of silver tickets in his arms, and finally had some confidence in his heart, Xu Xuan went straight to the direction of the mansion, and when he came to the door of the mansion, looking at the errand officers standing on both sides, Xu Xuan was a little worried in his heart, I don't know, I can't get in. However, if you don't break through it now, how can you find this way? Thinking of this, Xu Xuan took a deep breath and raised his legs towards the mansion.
"Hey, you scholar, didn't you see, what kind of place is this, just stunned to break in?" Seeing Xu Xuan walking leisurely, heading towards the mansion, the errand guard on the side hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, but looking at Xu Xuan's scholarly dress, the errand invisibly spoke a little politely, if it was an ordinary person, he would have kicked it out a long time ago.
Xu Xuan glanced at the errand officer, and had to pull the errand aside "This errand master, this is the case, I was originally a scholar who came to the Egret Academy at the beginning of this year, but a friend asked me to come to the government prison to visit a relative, but the kid only reads the sage books, and he doesn't know how to go at all, since the errand master is familiar, please be accommodating and think of a way for the kid,"
Xu Xuan said as he quietly stuffed a piece of broken silver into the hand of the errand officer
This errand officer was still a little dissatisfied when he heard Xu Xuan say this, but when he heard that this scholar was a student of Bailu Academy, and then he had more silver in his hand, he smiled at the moment, "Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, this matter is also a trivial matter, such a trivial matter as visiting a prisoner, you are a scholarly showman, I don't know it's normal, who are you going to visit, you report to me, I'll go in for you to investigate, if it can be done, at noon, I will come and lead you in." ”
Xu Xuan hurriedly nodded in thanks, the errand man nodded slightly, but then changed to a cold face, and scolded Xu Xuan to retreat,
Soon after Xu Xuan left, the errand officer whispered a few words to his colleagues who were standing on the opposite side, and then slipped into the government prison behind.
Xu Xuan saw this yacha from afar, knew what was going on, he stayed here, it was useless, so he also began to walk along the street, at that time Hangzhou city Lifang system was on the verge of collapse, far less clear than the Tang Dynasty, Hangzhou's business district, scattered throughout the city, and the largest business district, is the long street across Hangzhou, called Tianjie, this is the most prosperous street in Hangzhou, the reason why he is the largest commercial district, because it is connected to the market that specializes in something, For example, to the south of Tongwa City, the northernmost part of the market is connected to flowers, grasses, insects and fish, and everywhere in the middle, it is connected to countless small square shops, and the end is prosperous.
Xu Xuan walked on this street, looking at this dense crowd, the roadside vendors, were shouting hard, and from time to time there were pedestrians, attracted by this shouting and stopping to choose, looking at this familiar scene, so that Xu Xuan had a feeling of returning to the 21st century commercial street,
At this time, Xu Xuan really wanted to follow the flow of people and turn around this Hangzhou, but he thought that he would have to return to the government office in a while, and there might be a lot of things to do in the afternoon, so he extinguished this thought, and did not dare to go far away, so he looked around for a fairly clean food stall, ordered a common soup cake in the north, and ate it slowly.
At that time, a large number of northerners fled south, so now Hangzhou is like a hodgepodge, pasta from the north and rice from the south can be seen and found here. Xu Xuan is in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty in the south, where the streets are full of southern rhyme, and it is not unusual to eat a soup cake from the north.
At this time, I saw the crowd surging on the street, only to hear a rush of gongs, the street suddenly became lively, Xu Xuan raised his eyes, only to see a group of shirtless men, on the side of the road began to perform, Xu Xuan looked at it for a while, felt bored, and immediately sat down again.
This kind of street style is not attractive at all for people like Xu Xuan who have really been exposed to real kung fu and are rough with their fists and feet.
"Good, good, good" A fierce cheer, from time to time, Xu Xuan frowned slightly, this group of performers is probably not simple, in this crowd, there is still a hidden "trust", thanks to Xu Xuan's brother-in-law's profession, in the street cases that Li Gongfu said on weekdays, Xu Xuan is under the influence of his ears and eyes, and he has some understanding of these street performers, just to earn a hard money, at most he deceives people to buy some rice wine soaked in blood-invigorating drugs such as angelica, these can't make a lot of money, so he won't ask someone to be a "trust" However, if these people have new intentions, such as abducting women and children, then there will definitely be these "trusts" to attract people's attention, and then take advantage of the chaos to take people away.
Xu Xuan stood up from this table, only to see that the crowd in the distance had become not small, the characteristics of the Chinese people's preference for onlookers, at this time to play to the fullest, Xu Xuan took a little look, and had already found a few traffickers' favorite objects from this crowd, a little girl of twelve or thirteen, with fair skin, thin eyebrows and big eyes, quite cute, but, of course, she didn't go out by herself, next to her, a middle-aged man, obviously her father.
The other is a middle-aged woman, holding a two- or three-year-old little boy with a tile head in her arms, and the child seems to be attracted by this scene at this time, with a pair of small fists just clenched, big black eyes, staring closely at the performance in the field.
