The day soon came to the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

As long as the Chinese people, whether they live in the Saibei Hetao or the land of smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, whether they live in Tianfu Sichuan or the south of the Five Mountains, they will celebrate the New Year on the last day of the lunar month of the perpetual calendar.

So on this day, the city of Guangzhou is full of New Year's atmosphere. In the morning, some people took out long firecrackers, hung them on the tree at the door and lit them, crackling and making children cry out happily.

Most of the shops in the city have closed down, and only a few tea houses are still open, but there are not many people, most of them are outsiders living in Guangzhou City who gather at the tea houses.

As the sun rose, so did the number of people on the streets. Many children get together and don't know what they're playing; Guangzhou is southern, and even on such days, the weather is not particularly cold, and many elderly people gather in groups at the door to chat, while also taking care of their children.

When the sun rises high, the populous families tie up the pigs they have bought and tie them to planks or trees, and the families boldly hold watermelon knives and stab them. If the skilled and experienced pig is hacked to death with a knife, it is not guilty, if the skill is not good and inexperienced to kill the pig, often a few knives can not let the pig die, the injured pig let out a huge roar, scared the child busy hiding.

The shops on weekdays are closed, but the market is full of people and the alleys are empty. Some are husband and wife, some are parents with children, some are elderly people with their grandchildren, they walk in the market side by side, stop from time to time, discuss a few words with the people who come out together, and buy some New Year's goods from the stalls and go back.

And this year's market is even more lively than usual. Bao'an Kaifu, as long as you are willing to run, there are few businessmen in Guangzhou City who do not make money, the city is also closed after the New Year, they return to Guangzhou with their families, to treat themselves, but also to buy more New Year's goods for their families, so that they feel that the hard work of the past year is worth it.

Of course, the biggest difference between this year's market and previous years is that there are many people who would not have appeared in previous years. Those who have just come to the market will basically stop involuntarily at the entrance of the market, look at the policemen standing on both sides of the market in amazement, and think, 'Why are they here?' ’

Yes, there are many police officers standing guard in the market in Guangzhou this year.

In previous years, although the police in the city were always ordered to patrol the city to prevent the occurrence of large and small cases, it was just a false story. Anyway, the officials above will not show up in the market.

But this year is different, this year Yun Xi stayed in Guangzhou for the New Year. Yang Ren, as Yun Xi's cronies, can know that Yun Xi often goes out of the palace around the New Year when he is in the capital, not only to play but also to see the people's situation in private. It is said that the dismissal of the officials and the establishment of the police were caused by the fact that when he left the palace, he saw the officials who bullied the people.

Therefore, he did not dare to slack off at all, and not only called the officers of the Guangzhou prefect and the Guangzhou Police General Office, but also sent people to the chief officers of the five sub-offices in the city, and told them to keep an eye on the streets in the past few days of the Chinese New Year.

"If there is any case, this official is the only one who asks!" Yang Ren said sternly.

Where do the officials dare not do it? When he returned, he instructed the police under him not to slack off. "This year, Your Majesty can celebrate the New Year in the city of Guangzhou, and the orders from above have come down, and all the police are divided into two shifts to patrol the city one day at a time, and they must not be neglected! If anyone asks me to catch the patrol or not, don't blame me for being harsh! ”

One by one, the policemen cursed in their hearts. They didn't dare to scold the emperor, so they scolded the officials in the city, but they didn't dare to scold and scold, and they didn't dare to do anything, so they divided the police under their hands into two groups and took turns to patrol.

Yun Xi is quite satisfied with this. "The police in Guangzhou City are quite competent, and when I came all the way, I saw that the police had arrested more than a dozen small thieves, and I finally did my best." He walked slowly down the street with many people dressed in brocade clothes who looked like they weren't ordinary people.

Yun Xi celebrated the New Year for the first time outside the capital, and it was still a very distinctive and very prosperous place in Guangdong, so he was very curious, and today he couldn't help but disguise himself as a guard to escort 'himself' from the south, and take a look in the city with the real guards.

All the guards should be in peace. Although according to the information from the investigation, in previous years, there were at most a few police patrols on the main road, and there were no police officers really watching the small roads and even the very lively bazaars, but at this time, how could they refute the face of the leader? What's more, if you say it, you will offend Yang Ren and other officials in Guangzhou, and the gains outweigh the losses, and everyone will never say it.

After turning around on the fairly wide road, Yun Xi asked a few guards to go to the market to buy some very local things, and returned to the palace with most of the guards himself. There were too many people in the bazaar, and it was difficult for him to ensure his safety when he went, so he still didn't go.
