Chapter 72 Night Market Tour
Chapter Seventy-Two: Night Market Tour
Curfews are mostly in place in small counties, and such orders have been in place since ancient times, especially in times of war and disaster, or in areas of special political and economic significance. Violators of the curfew are subject to detention at least and justice on the spot. It is a re-canonized governance measure in a special period and a special region.
Although Taiyuan is now controlled by the Yuan people, but the territory is not peaceful, in Shi Bin's view, this is a place of special political significance, not to mention that there will be a noble person soon.
So he shrank back into his room after dinner, ready to go to bed in another hour, after all, there were no electric lights, no televisions, only a kerosene lamp, and it was really difficult for him to lift his spirits. Before the quilt was hot, Jia Ling broke in.
Seeing that her husband had just finished eating and shrunk into bed, she was very surprised and said, "Why did you go to bed so early and not go out for a walk with me?" β
Walking? Shi Bin didn't have this idea in his heart at all, he was not a careful person who could coax his wife, not to mention that in his subconscious, Taiyuan was so sensitive at this time that he could not have a curfew?
"Can you go out at night? Isn't it a curfew? Shi Bin said casually.
Finally knowing why Shi Bin went to bed so early, Jia Ling shook her head helplessly. The expression on his face seemed to be looking at a dumpling that had never entered the city, rather than a husband who was the commander of Tanzhou.
"Taiyuan is a big city, there is a night market, there are many puppet troops in the city to maintain law and order, and there is no curfew." Jia Ling smiled at Shi Bin as she spoke.
This is a big shame, but fortunately, Jia Ling is reckless and will not make too much fun of him, and as soon as he finished speaking, he pulled him up from the bed and walked out of the room.
Shi Bin didn't want to just stay in the room, just go out for a walk to understand the environment, maybe there would be some unexpected gains in the night market.
As soon as I went on the street, I found that Jia Ling's statement was very correct, I didn't expect the Taiyuan Night Market to be so lively and classy, which is not weaker than later generations.
What I saw in my eyes was Xiao Er, who was shuttling between the counter and the dining table, and the sound of bargaining between sellers and buyers came from my ears, and my nose was filled with the mouth-watering aroma of food.
Take Jia Ling and Wang San to go to the barbecue stall that has long been evocative, which can be regarded as enjoying the night view and tasting the food at the same time, and occasionally you can hear a swan song from the distance that winds around the beam for three days. made Shi Bin believe in the phrase "the master is in the people".
But before I could calm down, I heard a scream in the distance, which was very unpleasant.
Looking in the direction from which the voice came, I saw a noble lady wearing silk and satin instructing her two evil slaves to beat a little old man who knelt on the ground and kowtowed to plead guilty.
After a little inquiry, I found out that the noble lady was a Han person, but she was married to Taiyuan Daru Huachi as a concubine. The woman deceived the good and feared the evil, and when she saw the strong, she looked like a flattering slave, and when she saw the weak, she looked like a contemptuous master, and even took pleasure in bullying others.
The owner of the barbecue shop wanted to ask her to settle the bill and leave, and it was okay to give a little money, which made the shameless lady angry, and felt that she had lost face, so he let the two evil slaves beat the little boss.
What Shi Bin hates the most is to see dogs beating people, these dogs often beat more fiercely and have no conscience in order to please their masters.
Hearing this, Shi Bin immediately became angry and angry, and immediately wanted to beat the noble lady and the evil slave, although he knew that it was wrong, and he couldn't lose it because of a small loss, but he couldn't control it.
was pulled hard by Wang San in time, and Jia Ling also gave him a forbearance look. That's what endures.
But he was still furious, this time not only because of the noble lady, but after sitting down, he looked at the situation around him: a group of well-fed and well-dressed dignitaries watched the matter as if they were watching a play; Another group of hungry, ragged peddlers watched all this numbly.
Du Mu's "Park Qinhuai" came to his mind: 'The smoke cage is cold, the water is cold, the moon is long, and the sand is long, and the night is close to the restaurant. The merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers of the back court across the river.
The little boss who was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face was smashed to pieces, and he couldn't continue his business, so he had to pack up and leave. After seeing this, Shi Bin had long lost interest in visiting the night market, and planned to go back to the inn to rest. Just as he was about to get up to leave, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and motioned for the others to follow the little boss despite him.
It didn't take long for him to arrive at the shantytown where he lived, which was an authentic thatched house, with thick bamboo or small trees as pillars and beams, and a spire covered with tight and thick thatch. Although it is really not a house, it can shelter from the wind and rain and have a place to live.
Shi Bin didn't go in directly, but stood by the door and stopped for a moment. There was a miserable cry coming from the room, and there seemed to be a sick person in the room, coughing and comforting the little boss.
Although Shi Bin came from a later generation, he knew that once something happened to a person from this kind of family, it would immediately be a flat boat that hit the wind and waves, and there was only one result - annihilation.
Finally unable to bear the torment of this anger, Shi Bin walked into the hut. Seeing a son with an obvious family background walking in, the little boss thought that the people in the night market had not stopped yet, and they had come to the house to provoke. So without saying a word, he kowtowed again, just begging Shi Bin to let him go.
To his surprise, Shi Bin gave him an ingot of five taels of silver. And said: "I have seen everything on the street, so I will use this money to make a living." β
The little boss was naturally very grateful, but he was also very worried, this pie fell from the sky, so he said: "Your little old man accepted the money, he is grateful, and if he is sent in the future, he will be instructed." But please leave as soon as possibleγγγγγ β
Leave? This made Shi Bin wonder, why can't he go to the slums to visit by himself? Where do you care about the sky or the earth? This Yuan person is too arrogant.
Knowing that Shi Bin was puzzled, the little boss anxiously explained: "Childe doesn't know, I heard that the Song Dynasty has sent a lot of officers and soldiers to the north recently, and the Yuan people are very uneasy. β
I see, Shi Bin gave the little boss a grateful look, but continued: "What do you think of those officers and soldiers who went north?" β
This little old man obviously didn't have much scheming, not to mention that he was a person who helped him, so he said bluntly: "Of course, all of them are iron-beaten men, they only hate me for being old, and there is another wife lying on the bed at home, but there is no way... β
This is a good opportunity to set up a secret sentry in Taiyuan City, so Shi Bin deliberately said: "Although I am indeed a good man, I don't feel very good." The fight could not be won, and the efforts were in vain, and so many innocent civilians were innocently punishedγγγγγ β
Shi Bin didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by the little boss's angry shout: "Shut up!" Childe, you helped me, Xiao Lao'er is very grateful, but you can't slander those soldiers who died on the battlefield for the country and the people! β
"I'm not slandering, I'm just feeling unworthy of the innocent people who died. Not an inch of the land has been restored, but many people have died. In fact, it is better to temporarily obey the control of the Yuan people, and when the time comes, if you turn them back, at least you won't die so muchγγγγγ Shi Bin sighed.
The boss frowned, then smashed the ingot of silver to the ground, and roared: "Get out!" You pig and dog are not as good as animals! β
Seeing the boss's reaction, Shi Bin was relieved, and turned around and went out like a beaten leper dog, and said, "Okay, I'll go, I'll go, I really don't know what to doγγγγγ β
In less than a quarter of an hour, Wang San rushed into the little old man's house again, and asked in a panic, "You haven't been well, have you?" β
Seeing another unknown person coming, this time the little old man became vigilant and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Are you in the same league as the beast? β
"No, no, I'm a tenant in Wangjiazhuang outside the city. It's not to see that stone peel into your house, it's just to remind you not to take his money, he is a typical cannibal who doesn't spit out bonesγγγγγ Wang San pretended to be very anxious and said.
Money? Thinking that Shi Bin had indeed given him a piece of silver just now, he asked, "He did give me a piece of silver just now, but I threw it back." I'd rather starve to death than ask for the money of the kind of people who forget their ancestors! β
"That's right, he's just a dog of the Yuan people. You despise him, I can understand, of course it's right not to want money, but why are you so angry? He doesn't seem to ask you to sign the deed of sale? β
As soon as this sentence came out of Wang San's mouth, the little old man immediately had tears on his face, and said silently: "You don't know, my son was shot to death by the Yuan people, and it was my wife lying on the bed, and I was also insulted by them, do you say that I can not hate them?" And the stone peel also said bad things about the officials and soldiers, they can't win the fight, but at least they fight, and they won't be the dogs of the Yuan people. β
Knowing these clearly, Shi Bin outside the house walked in again, and the little boss glared angrily, picked up a rotten pottery bowl and threw it at Shi Bin, but he dodged it.
Seeing that he didn't hit it, he wanted to scold again, but was stopped by Wang San. Wang San explained with a smile: "Don't be angry, boss, this is our leader, Song Ren." Please forgive me for the rudenessγγγγγ β
"Boss, Shi was rude, just in case please don't do it. What's your last name? In case the little old man was too excited, alarmed others, and exposed his whereabouts, Shi Bin immediately apologized.
"Free of expensive, free of expensive, the little old man's surname is Zhao, and his cheap name is a Beijing character. Just call me Lao Zhao. Knowing that it was the official army going north in front of him, the little boss immediately smiled happily and said.
Knowing that Zhao Jing must have been very surprised, Shi Bin and others, who knew the specific situation, were also very satisfied, so they decided to develop him into Shi Bin's secret post in Taiyuan City, specifically responsible for collecting Yuanren intelligence and transmitting intelligence.
This messenger made Zhao Jing very surprised, for the Yuan people, he was eager to eat their flesh, drink their blood, draw their tendons, crush their bones and scatter ashes, and expressed his willingness to follow Shi Bin without paying money.
This is certainly impossible, how can such intelligence work be without active funding? After explaining it to him carefully, he first asked him to accept fifty taels of silver.
And the first task is to find out the specific situation of the noble person who is coming to Taiyuan recently, the more detailed the better.
He has also eaten for decades and seen a lot of people and things, and after listening to Shi Bin's words, he immediately understood what these Song Jun who came late at night were going to do.
This made Zhao Jing ecstatic, although he couldn't kill the Yuan people, but if he could do his part to help his son and wife avenge him, he would die without regrets.
Without Shi Bin's advice, Zhao Jing said all his thoughts, which reassured everyone.
