Through Zhan Wenjun and some others, the winter solstice bought three large mansions in Jinling, which were near the large and small Changgan and Hengtang in Changganli and Dongchanggan. In addition, there are seven or eight small farmhouse courtyards, inconspicuous, but the location is very particular, each other can be connected by the winding loop of waterways and culverts, and most of them are close to the bank of the Qinhuai River, hidden and have a good view, once something happens, you can escape by jumping into the water.

Most of these houses are inhabited by people, some are more, about a dozen people, two or three of them are henchmen of the winter solstice, and the others are bought slaves and maidservants, only know that it is the mansion of a certain big businessman, and I don't know anything else. There are fewer, only one or two people, but these people are all dead, and they can give their lives for Xu You at any time.

"This is Suzaku Bridge?"

Not far from them there was a huge pontoon bridge, made of twenty-two sturdy wooden boats connected by iron locks, ninety paces long and six feet wide, because it was facing the Suzaku Gate, also known as the Suzaku Bridge.

"Isn't Lang Jun coming to Jinling for the first time? How do you recognize Suzaku Bridge? The boatlady's voice was pleasant, and she spoke like spring rain falling into a lake, fast and urgent.

Xu You pointed to the gate at the north end of the bridge and said with a smile: "There is the word Suzaku on the door......

"Oops, I'm so stupid to forget that Lang Jun is literate!" The boat lady pursed her lips and laughed, and said, "But we never call it a bridge, and since we can remember, we call it Suzaku Hang." ”

"Oh, how do you say?"

"Lang Jun, you see, this bridge has no bridge body and piers, it is all strung together with large boats, which are used for people to walk and sail in peacetime, and burned down to block the enemy army in wartime. Wait until the war is over, and then build it with a boat, so it is better to call it a bridge than a bridge! From here to Qingxi, there are a total of 24 floating voyages on the Qinhuai River, and the Vermilion Bird Hang is the largest and the most beautiful, but it also collects the most money. ”

There are only four fees for the twenty-four floating voyages, which are similar to the bridge tolls in the later life, Xu You laughed and said: "Vermilion Bird Hang, okay, I'll write it down, so as not to show the cowardice of outsiders when I talk to people in the future!" ”

got off the boat at the ferry port of Suzaku Hang, specially rewarded the boat lady with dozens of dollars, and was just about to find the address left by the winter solstice, a man dressed in green clothes came over respectfully and said: "Villain Yang Shun, on the order of the winter solstice sister, is waiting for Lang Jun here!" ”

He flashed the ebony waist card, which was the identity of Dong Solstice's subordinates, and said today's incision order, Xu You nodded and said, "Let's go, lead the way." ”

Yang Shun doesn't talk much, if Xu You doesn't ask, he won't speak, but every time he speaks, he can get to the point, concise and to the point, and he is old, which does not match the age of sixteen or seventeen.

"Are you from Jinling?"

"Yes, the villain has been begging for a living in Changgan since he was a child, and later met Sister Winter Solstice, and she couldn't repay her kindness, so she was willing to run around for slaves!"

Regarding the intelligence agency of the winter solstice, Xu You has always maintained an absolutely hands-off attitude, and letting professional people do professional things is the only way to cross the financial world in his previous life, so he doesn't know the exact number of talents she has recruited over the years, but from this Yang Shun, it can be seen that the money thrown into it is not spent in vain.

"Is there a place called Wuyi Lane around Suzaku Bridge?"

Yang Shun didn't answer directly, lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "No!" Whether it is the previous dynasty or the present, I have never heard of Wuyi Lane. ”

Xu You said regretfully: "Yes, it's different after all......"

Qingming was puzzled: "Lang Jun seems to be very concerned about the Vermilion Bird Bridge, is there any concern?" ”

Xu You laughed and said, "It's nothing, just ask casually!" ”

Vermilion Bird Bridge wild grass flowers, Wuyi Alley mouth sunset slope, in the old days Wang Xie Tang Qianyan, flew into the homes of ordinary people, as a latecomer, when you arrive at Vermilion Bird Bridge, you will think of Wuyi Lane, which is almost a reflex memory.

It's a pity that Wang Xie is no longer there, Wuyi Lane can only be a memory!

At night, the scenery in Changganli seems to come alive, the lanterns are hung in the wind, and the bustling crowd is full of vitality and the breath of life. This is Li Bai's "Lang riding a bamboo horse and going around the bed to make green plums." Living together for a long time, the two have no suspicion. In the long trunk, it is also Cui Hao's home near the Jiujiang River, coming and going to the side of the Jiujiang River. It's the same long-gan person, and I haven't known each other since I was a child."

As the largest commercial area, residential area and living area in Jinling, there are large temples such as Waguan Temple and Jianchu Temple, as well as huge commercial markets such as Dongshi, Dashi, Douchang City, Xikou City, and Nanshi City, and there are dozens of other small markets such as Niuma Market, Valley Market, Yarn Market, and Grass Market. Here gathered the middle and lower class of the Han family, ordinary people, wealthy merchants and the lowest prostitutes and slaves, dragons and snakes are mixed, building the most basic and lowest social structure of Jinling.

With the crossing of clothes to the south, the northerners brought about all-round changes in the political, cultural and economic system, and Lifang, as one of the more effective means of the ruling class, naturally became a major feature of Jinling City. In addition to Changganli, along the capital from north to south, there are 26 miles such as Dutingli, Qingxili, Chongxiaoli, Nantangli, Tongxiali, Fenghuangli, Dingyinli, Tushanli, Quy Nhon Li, etc., but unlike the harshness of the northern Lifang, the 26 miles of Jinling do not have a fang wall, especially the mixed construction of the city and the fang, that is, the residential area and the commercial area are mixed together, which causes the unprecedented prosperity of the night market, and the curfew is equivalent to a void.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

While admiring the surrounding shops, several gorgeously dressed men separated the crowd and rushed forward in embarrassment. Seeing that he was about to hit Xu You, Qingming didn't make a move, Yang Shunmeng stopped, stopped and leaned on his side, bowed his waist slightly, and hit one of the men's shoulders hard with his back.

Yang Shun didn't know martial arts, his face showed a painful look, but his body didn't move at all. The man stumbled, almost fell to the ground, turned around and waved his fist at Yang Shun, scolding: "Dog, look for ...... death"

"Hurry up, it's too late."

The companion pulled him and ran, not caring about Yang Shun anymore, the rapid sound of horses' hooves came from behind him, and he ignored the dense pedestrians on the street, and had no intention of slowing down the horse, and chased straight after the fleeing man.

"Ah, be careful!"

"It's this group of red makeup thieves again......"

"Silence! Red makeup thief is also you, you say? ”

"Why can't you say that?"

"Hey, let's go, you're ...... annoying with this mouth."

Everyone was anxiously dodging the galloping horses, listening to the whispered discussions around them, as if it was not the first time they had encountered such a thing. Xu You knew that the disciples of the gate lords in Jinling City had always liked to be domineering and domineering, and they were no different from later generations. When he first arrived, he couldn't make a mistake, so he took Qingming and Yang Shun and hid in the shops next to the street with the crowd.

At this moment, a girl of seven or eight years old may have been separated from her family and stood in the middle of the street, crying helplessly. The horse's hooves burst, at the head was a girl in a violet uniform, wearing a tulle curtain, unable to see her face clearly, seeing the girl in the gallop, she did not panic, her slender and powerful legs clamped the horse's belly, held the reins with one hand, leaned down, and picked up the girl in the exclamation of everyone, and then swept her eyes and found the tallest Xu You in the crowd, and threw the girl lightly.

"The tall one, catch it!"

Xu You was stunned for a moment, the girl fell into his arms, it should be that the other party used skill, and did not feel the slightest impact. Looking at the girl on the horse, it was already a beautiful back.

Behind the girl, there were also eight horses, all women, one of whom said coquettishly: "What a handsome Langjun!" You take good care of that girl, and tomorrow you will go to the asters in Qingxi to find Xiao Yao'er to receive the reward! ”

Xu You squatted down and quietly comforted the girl, not answering the girl's words, but seeing that their group of girls still had a little conscience, they would not be lawless and careless of human life.

As the chaos faded away, the market returned to order and noise, and the girl was picked up by her parents who came later, Xu You asked, "Who are these people?" Why do the common people call them red makeup thieves? ”

Yang Shun is the head snake in the long trunk, naturally knows the details, and said: "They are all girls with surnames, the leader is called Liu Hongyu, is the sixth daughter of Liu Quan, since returning to Jinling from Yangzhou a few years ago, entangled Xiao Yao'er of the Xiao family, Yu Xiaojiang of the Yu family, Shen Miaorong of the Shen family and other noble daughters, all day long, the horse market fang, so that the fight is uneven, but the people are tossed enough, I don't know who wrote poems to ridicule the 'horse gold with Wu hook, phoenix hair and red makeup thief head,' so secretly called them red makeup thieves. ”

There are many demon girls in the famous capital, and Jingluo is a teenager,

It turns out that she is Liu Hongyu!

Back then, the mountain sect was chased and killed by Mo Yundu, because he accidentally peeked at this female ranger bathing, and it was rumored that Liu Hongyu was beautiful and beautiful, and it was the most beautiful pearl of the Liu family's gate valve.

After this little episode, Xu You didn't bother to tour around anymore, and was led by Yang Shun to the foothold. Winter Solstice was waiting at the door, and hurriedly greeted him, saying, "If Xiaolang doesn't appear again, I will mobilize all my hands to find it...... Why is it so late? The latter sentence was asked by Yang Shun, and his tone was a little harsh and reprimanding.

Yang Shun knelt down on his knees and said, "Sister, I am not doing well, and I am willing to be punished!" ”

Xu You smiled: "It's me who is greedy for scenery on the road, no wonder Yang Shun." Get up. ”

Yang Shun leaned down and did not move.

A sharp glint flashed in Qingming's eyes.

The winter solstice changed color in vain, and said, "How can I explain to you in advance?" Xiaolang's order is my order, are you deaf? Stand up and go to Zhang Lun for the twenty cane! ”

Yang Shun got up at this time, saluted Xu You, and then retreated calmly with an expression.

After washing the dust, Xu You changed into clean and soft clothes, and sat comfortably on the bed to look through the most popular Shangshu collection notes collected by Qingming. If he wants to study from Cui Yuanxiu, he can't do it without anything in his stomach, he needs to understand the current research results of Shangshu in the academic world, so that he can have a target, and use the name of Cui Yuanxiu to achieve his goal.

The door squeaks open.

After entering the house on the winter solstice, he knelt on the ground, wept with a pretty face, and said: "Xiaolang, Yang Shun's disobedience is definitely not my ......"

Xu You closed the book, pulled the winter solstice to sit on the futon next to her, personally wiped her tears, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, what's the matter, I'm not Emperor Jing of Han who settles accounts after the autumn, and you are not Zhou Yafu of Xiliuying, as for being so careful?" ”

Dong Solstice said in a panic: "I don't care, but most of these people like Yang Shun are unruly and untamable, and they have been stocked in Jinling for many years, and they don't know how to respect and humility, if they don't blame them strictly, I'm afraid they will embarrass Xiaolang like Fang Cai......"

Xu You said softly: "Winter Solstice, although you have done something in secret, it is a military law. Words and words, rewards and punishments, this is your trick to control your subordinates, I will never doubt you because of this, and you don't have to doubt yourself. Moreover, my face is thicker than the triple city wall of Taicheng, and only Yang Shun, how can I be embarrassed? Don't worry too much, Jinling is about to surge, put your mind outside, keep an eye on it! ”

"No!"

Sending away the winter solstice, Qingming, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Perhaps, Xiaolang should arrange another deputy for the winter solstice, this is to love her......"

Xu You was silent for a long time, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it when I am qualified enough to open the mansion independently!" ”

(First of all, it was simple bronchitis, but unexpectedly, the drug caused systemic allergies, and I was hospitalized for anti-allergy treatment for a few days, just better, and I apologized for the long delay.) ）
