Li Rizhi didn't have much interest in the restaurant opened by Hu Ren, and the dancing girl twisted, because he had troubles now, if he came to Chang'an and everything went smoothly, then go and see the twist, of course he was willing, but now it's not an investment bank, I don't know how to invest!

Li Rizhi sighed, got on the horse, followed behind everyone, thinking about things as he walked, Cheng Zizi followed, and said, "Senior brother, do you want me to inquire in the capital these days and find out what kind of ...... Well, how to say, the kind of person who knows how to protect himself? ”

Cheng Zizai and Li Rizhi are both people of this era, they don't know the direction of the development of the Tang Dynasty in the future, they are not gods, and they don't know how to predict, so what will happen to Queen Wu in the future, none of them know, now they just feel, why do you want to do it against the queen, this is not necessary!

Because they are not courtiers, they have no conflict of interest with Empress Wu, and from their standpoint, they are just scholars who have just come to Chang'an and have an uncertain future, and they do not belong to any force in the court, so at this point in time, in this position, they can only have this idea!

"We are helpless in Chang'an, so if we want to have some future, we can't offend people first, we can't offend anyone, let's inquire first, and then talk about it!" Li Rizhi nodded, and agreed with Cheng Zizi's idea, it is better not to stand in line for now, of course, they are not qualified to stand in line, but at least they can't follow aimlessly.

While speaking, I have arrived in the East Market, there are two cities in Chang'an City, which are places that specialize in buying and selling goods, buying things, this is how the word comes from, there are many luxury stores in the East Market, and the West Market is mainly supplies for ordinary people, if you want to enter the big store to spend money, it is the best choice is to come to the East Market.

Fu Guibao walked at the front of the line, after entering the gate of the East Market, he saw that this big market was full of people, crowded with people, surrounded by shops, and he was dizzy, he simply didn't know which restaurant was opened by Hu Ren, and he always thought that the restaurant was a place to eat.

As a result, as soon as he entered the city, he saw a big restaurant, this restaurant is more magnificent than Zhengzhou's Thorn Shifu, and it is definitely tall and big enough, the restaurant has several floors, each floor has a balcony railing, and the huge balcony itself is a big stage, there are dancing girls dancing on it, and there are bands playing, and each floor is like this.

Fu Guibao instantly felt very small, and began to wonder if he was a rich man, whether the money he brought was enough to spend in such a luxury restaurant, but don't eat, drink and have fun, the money he brought is not enough to pay the bill.

The scholars were dumbfounded, and Quan Shufang said with a shocked face: "It turns out that this is the East Market, this is the world-famous East Market!" Extravagant, luxurious, simply, it can only be described as appalling! ”

Suddenly, a gentleman cried out, "What's in that cage?" ”

When they looked at the place where he was pointing, they saw a large crowd of people surrounding the street, and in the center of the crowd were several large iron cages, in which fierce beasts were kept, all of which they had never seen before!

Quan Shufang went to the outside of the crowd, looking at the beasts, and suddenly, he pointed to an iron cage, and shouted at a huge beast with yellow hair and black stripes on its yellow hair, "This is a tiger, right?" This is a tiger, this must be a tiger! ”

The scholars gathered around, looked at the beast, and all shouted: "This must be a tiger, look at the pattern on the top of its head, like a king, this must be a tiger!" ”

Some Chang'an people next to them turned their heads, looked down on these startled rural buns, and couldn't help but say a lesson: "Of course this is a tiger, if this is not a tiger, then it can still be a rabbit?" ”

But the scholars didn't care at all, and they were still exclaiming: "I just said that this is a tiger, I have seen the painting of a tiger, and it is exactly the same as this!" ”

"It turns out that the tiger is so big, but it's still not as big as Martha!"

"Is this a male or female tiger, and how much meat can it eat in one meal?"

"The one next to it is a bear, it's a bear, it's a bear, it's definitely a bear. Is this a tiger and a bear again, juggling? ”

The scholars are all people who usually study at home, and they have never seen real tigers or bears and other fierce beasts, at most they have seen them in pictures, and now they are excited to see the real ones.

Li Rizhi was riding on a horse, and naturally he could see it clearly, he frowned and said: "Such a fierce beast, although it is contained in an iron cage, but it is a little dangerous to put it on the side of the street." ”

He didn't speak loudly, but because he didn't follow the scholars to make a fuss in the past, he behaved very calmly, and there was Cheng Zizi behind him, which made people naturally feel that he was a noble son, so someone came over to talk.

A middle-aged man wearing a gray cloth leaned over, accompanied by a smiling face, and looked up to Li Ri to know: "Childe is the first time to come back to Dongshi, right?" Those tigers and black bears are not dangerous here, because they are vegetables, and they are put there to attract guests, and that is a signboard, as long as there are distinguished guests here, if they want to eat tigers, then slaughter tigers, if they want to eat black bears, then slaughter black bears, and the bear's paws are delicious......"

Li Rizhi glanced at the middle-aged man, knowing that he must be a guy who was pulling guests, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I can't afford to eat it, this kind of dish is unheard of, just take a look, just take a look!" ”

The middle-aged man saw that he refused so quickly, so he had to snort twice, and thought: "This person is dressed neatly, but he is not a real rich man!" ”

At this moment, Fu Guibao shouted: "Big brother, this black bear only needs two hundred guan, only two hundred, sell it, let's divide one point of the four bear paws, it is still enough to eat, as well as the meat of this body, and the bear skin!" ”

Li Ri knew: "Is two hundred guan less, let's go, just go and roast the whole sheep, forget about this roast bear!" ”

Fu Guibao was a little reluctant, and said: "Big brother, look, this black bear's eyes are full of expectation, looking forward to us eating it and overtaking it as soon as possible!" ”

"It's looking forward to giving you a transcendence!" Li Rizhi said, waving his hand, asking them not to watch the excitement here for too long, or find a place to eat as soon as possible, and then find a place to live.

Everyone went forward again, there were too many merchants in the East Market, and they didn't go far, they saw a restaurant with a strong Hu wind, and the guests who greeted the guests at the door were all Hu people, presumably this must be a Hu people's restaurant, whether it was the largest This is not clear, but from the outside, it is luxurious enough, and there is also a stage with a big balcony.

Li Rizhi pointed to the restaurant and said, "That's it, fill your stomach first!" ”

Fu Guibao immediately shouted at the guy at the door: "Do you have roast whole sheep in your store?" ”

"Yes, our specialty dish in this store is roasted whole lamb!" The Hu guy shouted, the words were correct and round, and there was no hint of nonsense.

Fu Guibao said again: "Is there a little girl who can dance, the kind that wants to show her belly button!" ”

"Yes, not only can you show your belly button, but you can also have thighs and feet, which is beautiful!" The guy shouted.

The scholars hurriedly said: "What are you shouting so loudly for, be reserved, be reserved, we are all people who have read the books of the sages!" ”

Fu Guibao smiled: "Then here!" ”

Everyone dismounted one after another and entered the big restaurant.

Fu Guibao looked back at Chen Yingying, who was full of unhappiness, and said with a smile: "It's also a rare thing to look at the little lady of the Hu people, Yingying, you have also seen it!" ”

Chen Yingying snorted and said to the Hu guy: "Do you have any Hu people here who can twist and twist?" ”

"Hu Ren Xiaohan?" The Hu people were stunned, the guests who came here to eat, drink and have fun have always wanted to see Xiaoniang, and no one has ever wanted to see Xiaohan, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Then, do you think I am a guest?" ”

"Phew!" Chen Yingying snorted again and entered the restaurant.

Li Rizhi also entered the restaurant, and when he arrived on the second floor, he sat down, still thinking about the investment bank in his heart, and couldn't help but take out a small pocket containing a letter from his arms, open the small pocket, and look through the various recommendation letters he got along the way, sighing while reading.

At the same time, the Criminal Department.

Outside the gate, a middle-aged scribe in his forties came in, and after the scribe entered the gate, a small official stepped forward and nodded and said, "Mr. Zheng, why are you free to come to us?" ”

The scribe said, "Someone has reported to me that Deng Ao has been caught, where is he?" ”

This scribe is Zheng Changshe, that is, his youngest son was killed by Deng Ao, so he offered a heavy bounty to arrest Deng Ao, today someone ran to report to him, saying that Deng Ao was caught and had been escorted to the criminal department, he immediately came to see that he hated Deng Ao to the core, that is absolutely unwilling to spare, there is no such thing as Rao.

Zheng Changshe did not have an official position in the imperial court, but he had a good grandfather, who not only left him a lot of land, but also left a lot of contacts in Chang'an, for example, Yan Liben, who was his grandfather's disciple, and Yan Liben was the previous squire of the Criminal Department, and now he is the secretary of the Ministry of Works.

When the official of the Criminal Department heard this, he hurriedly said: "That Deng Og, and the dozen or so prisoners who were escorted together, are all in prison, and Deng O is locked up alone and on death row. ”

Zheng Changshe said: "Take me to see it quickly, I want to see what this Deng Ao looks like, how cruel he can be!" ”

The little official didn't dare to slack off, and took Zheng Changji to visit the prison, Deng Ao was just escorted into Beijing today, and there is no text saying that he is not allowed to visit the prison, so at this time, Zheng Changshe can still go to see it, of course, this is a loophole, if Zheng Changshe wants to kill Deng Ao at this time, it is not impossible!

After a long while, Zheng Changshe came out of the prison, and he said to the little official: "This Deng Ao, even if you cut him with a thousand knives, you can eliminate the hatred in my heart, what can you do, can make him worse than death, if he wants to kill himself, he can only suffer endless torture every day?" ”

The little official was immediately happy, the rich man Zheng was going to send them money to spend, and torturing a death row prisoner was too easy for the cell boss and the jailer, and the means were innumerable!

The little official said: "The little one understands what Mr. Zheng means, and it will be as Mr. Zheng wishes." ”

Zheng Changshe nodded and said, "I'm in a hurry to go out today, tomorrow I'll call the housekeeper to send you some wine money, and I hope you don't shirk!" ”

After he explained what happened to Deng Ao, he was led by the little official to find the clerk who went through the formalities, and wanted to ask who caught Deng Ao, and he must be thanked.

The wailang saw Zheng Changshe, this is the person who must give face, so he said: "Mr. Zheng, the person who caught that Deng Ao is several scholars who entered Beijing to take the exam, from Xingyang, and the leader of the scholar is named Li Rizhi, I heard that he helped Chu County Order to solve this case in Huayin, and he is a young man who is quite capable." ”

Zheng Changshe sighed and said, "Li Rizhi, how to write these words, where is he now?" ”

The clerk couldn't answer, but the little official next to him said: "They don't seem to have found a place to stay, but the little one listened to them discuss at the door, it seems that they are going to the East Market, and they want to find a restaurant for the Hu people, see and see, from the time point of view, they have been going for a long time, but which store they went to, the little one doesn't know!" ”

Zheng Changshe said: "This person is kind to my Zheng family, I should go and thank him personally, and then go to Dongshi to find him!" ”
