Chapter 45: A Moonlit Serenade
There is only one place of fireworks in Xiliang City, unlike the two banks of the Qinglong River in Beijing, the flower street and willow alleys are all-encompassing, each has its own uniqueness, and each has its own wonderful. There is only one green building here, covering an area of not small, the buildings inside are high and low, and they are different, the style is extraordinary, and it belongs to the monopoly industry.
"We have high-grade wine here, and there are some black kilns in other places, presumably Wang Yu has seen the scenery of the Qinglong River, and such places are not eye-catching. Today, I entertain the catcher, and I will call the catcher happy. The Kangle Red Mansion in Xiliang City, although it is not as good as the Qinglong River, is also a good place to go in the famous Xiliang area. The run woman from the south of the Yangtze River, the wild peppers outside the Saiwai, the orchids in the extreme west, and even the Kunlun slaves, all kinds of scenery are also a must. When the time comes, let the catcher take a look, what the catcher likes, what you want, if the catcher is fraternity, he will come to sleep with him, hehe-hey-suck-"
The more the guard spoke, the more energetic he became, and he couldn't help but suck his saliva.
Wang Chuan nodded in response, thinking that there were a lot of tricks here. There are so many tricks, and now you can only see them here. At that time, the scenery of various places also appeared on both sides of the Qinglong River, but after the opening of the Divine Dynasty, the imperial court became more and more strict in the discipline of the place of Goolan, and the illegal trade was resolutely put an end, and such scenery gradually disappeared in the interior of the Divine Dynasty. Nowadays, there are only a handful of brothel women from outside the country, and they have been short-lived in the years. The women in the brothel in the Western Regions don't know if it's formal or not. This guard is reckless enough, and he dares to come blindly, and he is not afraid of catching a quick note from the six gates of the capital, and he will have a reason to serve it here in the future.
The guards are familiar with the road here, and it seems that although the Xiliang Army controls it, he is still a frequent visitor here. Wang Chuan listened to the greeting of the old bustard, followed the guards all the way upstairs, and entered a private room.
"The old rule is to serve two dishes of small dishes and a pot of good wine. My sister counts me, and the wine and food are bookkeed. ”
The guard said.
Wang Chuan was like an honest man who had never entered the land of fireworks, following the guards without saying a word, honest, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart, it was really "clear between public and private".
"Okay. The soldier will wait a while, the two of you will wait a while, and I will arrange it. ”
The old bustard sang, went out happily, and closed the door.
As soon as the bustard went out, Wang Chuan suddenly heard a commotion outside the window. At this time, it was already dark, and this room was the side room of the Kangle Red Building, and the other end of the window was the back of the Qinglou, the main street in Xiliang City.
"What's the matter?"
Wang Chuan asked curiously.
"I don't know, I'll take a look?"
The guard spoke, pushing open the door to the window. Wang Chuan also followed, only to see outside the window, crowded with people, which is extremely unusual in this night.
You must know that in Xiliang City, the curfew is much stricter than in the capital. Wang Chuan came into the city in the evening, and when he picked up almost no one in sight, but at this time, so many people came out, what happened?
"Oh, I see."
The guard said, pointing out the window in the distance, and said, "Wang Zhu, look there, there is your credit here." ”
"What's that?"
Wang Chuan was confused for a while, and the Northeast dialect came out. As the guards pointed, it was a crossroads. There is a prisoner cart at the intersection, and the iron cage of the prisoner cart is not small. A cross iron frame is erected in the cage, as if it were welded to the cage. There were a few guards standing around the cage, and their clothes were different from those of the Xiliang Army, which looked a little similar to the standard soap clothes of the six doors, but with a layer of cuirass. The guards each held a torch in their hands, lighting up the night, so that the crowds around them and the people in the cages could be seen.
A white-haired old woman is tied to a cross with her hands outstretched, her head bowed, and a plaque hanging from her neck. The words on the plaque are not big, Wang Chuan stood in the Qinglou in the distance, even if there was a torch illumination, he couldn't see the words on it clearly.
But that old woman Wang Chuan knows. That is exactly what Wang Chuan brought all the way from the capital, the old lady of Fushanzhuang!
Mrs. Fu was depressed, which was different from the madness in the capital and the ruthlessness when she chased and killed Wang Chuan, which was a little pitiful. But Wang Chuan couldn't afford to have a little compassion in his heart. You know, this crazy old lady is bent on killing herself. If you are sympathetic to her, it is simply looking for death.
Good thoughts can be cherished, but they should not be lightly moved.
"Going to be executed in the middle of the night?"
Wang Chuan was a little confused.
The guard shook his head and said, "This is the matter of the City Lord's Mansion and the Six Gates, Wang Zhuai is from the six gates of the capital, and if he can't understand it, then I, a big old man who is a soldier, can't understand it even more." ”
Wang Chuan didn't ask any more questions, and looked into the distance. The breastplated guards stepped out and pulled a middle-aged scribe-looking guy out of the crowd. The scribe stood in front of the cage and looked through the cage at the inscription on the plaque on the old lady's chest. Then he turned his head to speak, and looked back from time to time as he spoke, and then looked around, as if he had been instructed by the guards, to read the words on the plaque to the people.
"The old woman of the Fu family in Fushan Village really lives up to her reputation. Trapped her, she even used the iron cage. This is used to imprison heavy suspects and charlatans. Only such an iron cage can lock up those vicious people, ordinary cages, but not much use. ”
The guard said.
"That's right."
Wang Chuan nodded, this is a specialty of Xiliang, and there are no six doors in the capital. Wang Chuan took a closer look, and it was really easy to use-
In the center of the crowd, in the cage that was a little red from the firelight, Mrs. Fu's arms were tied on both sides of the cross, and she was chained to death. The heavy plaque hung on her chest again, pushing the old lady's already hunched body even more bent over.
"It's a little bit useful, as if it were Western."
Wang Chuan said.
The guard said: "Wang Zhukuai is really well-informed. Don't say it, this method is really borrowed from the barbarians of the extreme west. The people there preferred to torture them with fire, and when they burned them, they put them on the cross. ”
Wang Chuan opened his mouth, and now he had nothing to say.
At this time, the scribe in the distance finally finished reading the words on the plaque. Wang Chuan had already noticed that when the scribe was reading, there were guards walking through the crowd, handing out baskets in people's hands, and there were a lot of rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and even large and small stones.
As the scribe finished reading, the crowd burst into an uproar. With a burst of angry scolding, the rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and stones in everyone's hands flew towards the iron cage. The guards guarding the surrounding area suddenly felt pressured and moved to the side, so as not to be affected by the pond fish.
"Smash her!"
"Old immortal!"
"Yes, old witch!"
"The Fu family has done all the bad things, and now there is only one life left for you, retribution!"
"Well deserved!"
"Yes, retribution!"
……
The voices in the crowd became louder and louder, and gradually Wang Chuan could hear it clearly.
