For a long time, the Chinese nation has pursued the law of life of "making at sunrise and resting at sunset", since the Zhou Dynasty, there are records of curfew in the literature, and the three gates of the drum city, fang and city are opened together in the morning, and the three gates of the drum city, fang and city are closed at sunset. The Qin and Han dynasties continued to follow the previous curfew system, while the Sui and Tang dynasties further developed on the basis of the previous ones, and by the time of Zhenguan, they had reached their peak.

However, the poet's description of "the night market with thousands of lights shining on the blue clouds, high-rise buildings and red-sleeved customers" is by no means after the Tang Dynasty after the gradual abolition of the "curfew" system can be seen, in fact, in the Zhenguan period, although the city gate, the square gate, and the city gate are all closed at night, and the people are not allowed to stay on the street, but what to do within the way, the government does not care......

In the fang market where high-ranking officials and dignitaries gathered, such as Chongrenfang, they would sing, dance, and sing every night, and it was common for nobles to have fun until they stayed all night.

In a prosperous place like Pingkangfang, the fireworks are bright at night, and the red sleeves show off the fragrance of clothes and sideburns, and they stay awake all night......

At the gate of Pingkang Fangfang, a rapid sound of horses' hooves woke up the pawn, the oil lamp was lit in the house, and a pawn walked out while putting on his clothes, yawning and muttering: "Don't let people sleep in the middle of the night, these Wuhou patrolling the streets are really damned......"

The door will be opened a gap, and before asking who it is, he felt that there was a strong force outside to push the door open, and the pawn was caught off guard and sat on the ground with a fart that was pushed, and he was angry when he got up, and he opened his mouth to scold, and then he saw this person who walked in from the gate of the door, and he suffocated back with a dirty word......

The person who came was Fang Er!

Fang pawn's legs and stomach are a little tendoned, if you say that Pingkangfang is the most unwelcome person in the Qinglou, this Fang Erlang is the first to rank! In the past two years, there have been countless things in Pingkangfang, and there are fights and fights at every turn, and the money spent is not enough to repair the damaged utensils, the most important thing is to delay business!

"Sun Wuke, the captain of the city guard, can be in the fang?"

Fang Jun walked up to the pawn and stood still, and asked in a deep voice.

The pawn got up from the ground, nodded and looked flattering: "The little one has seen Fang Shilang...... Eldest Sun Wu? Belch...... The little one doesn't know this person. ”

These pawns are all discerning, if the dignitaries are here, which Qinglou Chu Pavilion to stay in, there will be some news, but a mere captain guarding the city, a brick falling on the city gate tower can hit a group of princes and dignitaries of Chang'an, what is it?

No one pays attention to such a little person unless they know it.

Fang Jun frowned, a little embarrassed.

This eldest grandson Wu must be found, otherwise he will not be able to track the whereabouts of the spy, but now I don't know where he is staying, so he can only take a stupid method and find the past one by one.

In fact, Fang Jun also knows that his reputation in Pingkangfang is not very good, who came to Pingkangfang not to drink flower wine and listen to small songs, hug the Oiran singer to have fun, and spend money like dirt? is the only one who fights every time he comes......

Now, if you take people to slam the door in the middle of the night, I am afraid that in the future, my name will have to be on the blacklist of the Qinglou of Pingkangfang that refuses to receive it......

If you can't find a chic place with money, you will become a laughing stock.

But now, even if he is reluctant, he has to find Changsun Wu as soon as possible, and as for whether it will cause the unanimous condemnation of many Qinglou, he is also very embarrassed......

Seeing that the manpower behind him was a little small, he ordered: "You can go to Jingzhao Mansion to report the matter in detail, and order them to quickly send people to block the entire Pingkangfang!" ”

"Whoa!"

The general agreed, separated the two of them out of the fangmen, turned over and rode on horseback, and went straight to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

After a cup of tea, a large team of patrols arrived with sleepy eyes, but the leader of the team was Jingzhao Yin Mazhou himself......

"Brother Ma is really staying in the yamen?"

Fang Jun hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and asked in surprise.

Ma Zhou jumped off the horse, handed over the reins to the official who followed, walked in front of Fang Jun, and said: "Deal with some Wen Gong in the yamen, it's late, so I don't bother to go home, so I just spend the night in the yamen." I was just woken up by someone sent by Li Junxian, and I sent someone to Shilipo to block the road, and I was found by your people again. ”

Fang Jun smiled and teased: "Brother Ma, you are quiet, just don't snub your sister-in-law, just in case...... Hehe, then you'll regret it. ”

Ma Zhouleng for a moment, and when he pondered the ridicule in Fang Jun's words, he immediately laughed and scolded: "You are shouting all day long about convincing people with virtue, let me say, you are really lacking in virtue." The people you sent only said that there were spies, but they refused to say more, what the hell is going on to blockade Pingkangfang overnight? ”

Fang Jun's playful expression retracted, and he solemnly told what had happened.

Ma Zhou first assigned people to block the doors of all parts of Pingkangfang, and then asked people to lead a team to search the area one by one, and when the arrangement stopped, the patrol and government servants under his command were all dispatched, and then he stood side by side with Fang Jun on the street, frowning and said: "Qiu Xinggong is a little too much!" The case of his son's murder has been tried by the three divisions and tried fairly, and now there is no evidence that Erlang you murdered Qiu Shenji, how can he ignore the law and discipline and blatantly murder you? ”

Ma Zhou is an upright person, everything he hopes to be fulfilled under the rules, no rules are not a circle, if everyone can abide by the law, then the world can be the same, so he is extremely disgusted with the family gate valve who uses his ability to repeatedly tear the rules.

Fang Jun shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "That old man recognized that he killed his son, what can be done about such a fool?" ”

Ma Zhou was also speechless.

The hatred of killing the son is not shared, what rules are there to talk about? I'm afraid that even His Majesty can't express his anger at Qiu Xinggong's behavior, after all, did he take Fang Jun seriously......

As the patrols and soldiers knocked on the door one by one, cursing and complaining came one after another, and the Pingkangfang in the middle of the night was like a pot of boiling water, boiling and making noise from the silence.

"What? What is there to check in the middle of the night? ”

"We are all law-abiding, what should you do if you slam the door like this and affect your business?"

"Yohe, do you know who our owner is? Find someone to please go elsewhere, don't make noise to my family's distinguished guests! ”

At the entrance of a green building called "Yi Xiang Pavilion", the patrol who went to inspect was stopped, and the shopkeeper of this green building not only refused to show the roster of the people staying in the house, but also spoke arrogantly and had a bad attitude.

The patrol was so angry that his face turned red, and he said loudly: "This inspection is led by Jing Zhaoyin, do you dare to disobey?" ”

The shopkeeper is quite old, but the fat head and big ears are extraordinary, and when he heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said disapprenously: "What about Jing Zhaoyin?" We are law-abiding and law-abiding, and there is no such thing as committing adultery, even if the king of heaven is here, what can we do? Besides, our owner is not an ordinary person, even in front of Ma Zhou, it is not worth it! ”

At this time, Ma Zhou happened to be slowly pacing on the street with Fang Jun, passing by the door of this green building, and these words were all heard by the two.

Ma Zhou was a little embarrassed......

As Jing Zhaoyin, in the place under his jurisdiction, there are people who don't give face like this, how can they not be embarrassed?

If you change someone else, you have to get this face back no matter what, otherwise how can you save face in Jingzhao Yin? But Ma Zhou is an upright person, as long as the other party really abides by the law, he will never do anything reckless by relying on power.

But the clay man also has a three-point earthy nature, and no matter how upright a person is, it is difficult to be calm in the face of such almost provocative words.

Ma Zhouchang blushed, and wanted to enter this green building when he raised his feet, but was stopped by Fang Jun with his raised hand, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, Brother Ma is angry in his heart and wants to demolish this green building?" ”

Ma Zhou shook his head and said, "How is it possible?" The foolish brother just went in and told him that this inspection was about the spy of the enemy country, and any merchant had the responsibility to cooperate, and if he resisted for no reason, it would be equivalent to shielding the spies, and the consequences would be unpredictable, so as not to make him cocooned himself. ”

"You're really ......" Fang Jun was speechless.

People almost point their noses at you and scold you, but you are worried that others will be involved in spies?

"Alright, you are a virtuous minister, a gentleman, a saint! Mother, such a high-spirited house slave, let this mallet clean him up, you are a white lotus, don't get stained with mud......"

As he spoke, he gently pushed Ma Zhou away and asked him to go to the front to inspect, while he swayed into the gate of this green building with his hands behind his back.

In the main hall inside the door, the shopkeeper was arrogant, his fingers almost pointed to the nose of the patrol, and the spitting stars flew sideways: "Warn you, there are nobles upstairs who are resting here, if you disturb the nobles, beware that you can't eat and walk around...... Walk...... Ah! Isn't this Fang Erlang? No, no, no, it's Master Hou...... Master Hou, you are idle, how can you have time to come to Pingkangfang? Oh, are the bunnies blind? Why don't you hurry up and pour tea for Hou Ye......"

When the shopkeeper saw Fang Jun walk in, he almost wanted to bite the patrol in front of him to death.

!

Why don't you just say that Ma Zhou led people to inspect, why don't you say that there is Fang Jun?

If you can offend a gentleman, you can't offend a villain, Ma Zhou is upright and selfless, and it's not a big deal if you offend, as long as you don't be a traitor, then you have no problem, but Fang Jun is different...... This is a mallet, provoked him, does he care if you are justified or not?

I'll beat you up first......

If he knew that Fang Jun was also here, he wouldn't dare to show off his might here, let alone him, even if it was their owner, he would have to behave with a smiling face when he saw Fang Jun......

This little patrol, what about your mother's harm?!
