Zou Zhenggang found the word "drag" in the lower lotus pond, indicating that another group of people asked him to connect, and it was not far away.

Han Wendou, the deputy director of the Shu'an Bureau, knew that this matter was very important, and hurriedly assigned it layer by layer. Since then, there have been many merchants and merchants in the streets and alleys of Chengdu Mansion and called Huazi.

On the third day, a spy dressed as Hanako reported that this "Hao" was found on the outer wall of the Zhenwu Palace outside the East City. Han Wendou personally questioned the spy, and the spy did not hesitate to copy the word "Hao" he saw.

It is impossible for a spy to be mistaken.

Because this "Hao" character is not an italic script, but a very complex seal style. Even if children want to scribble on the spot, it is difficult to write this seal character.

The clue points to the Zhenwu Palace.

Zhenwu Palace is located outside the eastern city of Chengdu Prefecture, facing south and north to the north, with the Jinjiang River on the right, Wenchang Temple on the left, and a recently renovated workhouse to the north (Note 1). Walk south out of the gate of Zhenwu Palace, turn right and pass the East Gate Bridge (Note 2), which is the east gate of Chengdu Mansion. If you don't turn, go straight south, and cross the Zhenjiang Bridge, you will find the famous places Xue Taojing (Note 3) and Huilan Tower, which are the most popular places for scholars to sing and sing.

The Zhenwu Palace is not large, but it looks very magnificent from the outside. In particular, the three door openings of the main gate are all outlined with colorful moire glazed tiles, giving people an illusion of heaven and earth. Every day, good men and women come in groups, crowding the small square in front of the palace gate.

The flow of people is the flow of money. In the small street along the Jinjiang River embankment near the Zhenwu Palace, the tea business is very good.

In the summer flood of one year during the Apocalypse, the dam was flooded with water, and the houses along the river were washed away. Later, it was rebuilt, and it became a scenic spot for river cruises and spring appreciation.

In the first year of Chongzhen, luxury Chongming attacked Chengdu; For ten years, Li Zicheng besieged Chengdu and burned and destroyed it. However, like a seedling planted in the soil, the rich Shu land can always restore its former prosperity in the shortest possible time.

At the end of March of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, both sides of the Jinjiang River are still full of spring. I saw more than a dozen two- and three-storey tea houses lined up along the street, and the various flags and flags in the streets were hidden in the thick shade of green willows and green acacias. On the streets, those farmers who were reluctant to enter the city picked vegetables and fruits, and sold them on the street.

Of course, the shopkeepers of the tea mills did not like these farmers who were hawking everywhere. They had the heart to drive away, but the business of these small stalls and vendors was surprisingly good, always surrounding the big girls and daughters-in-law, and even their own tea customers. The shopkeepers have more than one thing and one less, so they have to pretend that they can't see or hear. After all, they are all in business, and they pay attention to harmony and wealth!

In the early morning of this day, as soon as the city gate opened, an ordinary tea shop on this street welcomed three tea customers.

The leader of the tea guests is a young man who looks like a bookkeeper, with no white face. The other two are like a family and a scholar. They rode the war horses of the Northland, spoke with the accent of the Beijing Division, and were very generous, and they took over the entire third floor as soon as they made a move.

The tea shop sells more than just tea, the shopkeeper guessed that the lady of the rich and noble family wanted to enjoy the spring outing, so he sent his subordinates to the front station, and hurriedly shouted at the unconscious guys to hurry up to the street to buy, and prepared all kinds of sweets, cakes, and fried goods in the store, waiting for the accompanying ladies and ladies to order.

Who knows that the left and right are waiting, the sun is on the third pole, and the tea shop on the two floors downstairs is already full, and the distinguished guests on the three floors are still silent.

The shopkeeper had no choice but to send his men upstairs to try it, but when he reached the corner of the stairs, he was stopped by the scholar. The guests on the third floor passed the word, and they didn't like to be disturbed. Foodie tea although it comes up; As for the cappella, it will be waived today.

The shopkeeper is over half a hundred years old, and he has seen countless tea customers, so he knows that something strange has happened today. But looking at the full ingot of official silver, he made a silent gesture to his men and warned them not to make a noise.

Recently, Huayang County has built a new police shop next to the Wenchang Temple, equipped with a number of patrol police. Most of the patrol officers are scholars who have passed the Shu examination and the wounded soldiers of the Protector Army, and there is also an old official in Huayang County. If you shout and accidentally recruit these patrol policemen, you will inevitably conduct an investigation in accordance with the newly promulgated public security regulations in Shudi.

The patrol police checked the guest's yellow and white cards.

If the local household registration does not have a yellow card, it is necessary to register with the yellow book and guarantee certificate of each household and apply for issuance. If the fingerprints of the card do not match, you may have a lawsuit.

Foreign merchants must present a white card. Those who do not have a card must go to the police station and leave their registration information and pointers

Line.

In that case, not only will you offend the customer, but you may also get into trouble for the tea shop.

……

On the tea house facing the window on the third floor of the tea house, a young man dressed in a bookkeeping costume, with a fair and handsome appearance, and clean lips and chin, looked at the crowd shuttling back and forth on the street, frowning thoughtfully.

The choking smell of smoke wafting downstairs made him cough incessantly.

Eat tobacco, homonym eat "swallow". The emperor issued several decrees that his subjects were strictly forbidden to eat smoking. But this Shu land seems to have fallen on deaf ears, and people who eat cigarettes can be seen everywhere.

The food brought by the tea shop was served on five large plates: halva, mung bean cake, crispy pear, and fried beans. As for the last plate, there is a square wooden box in the middle, and the delicate wooden box lid can be pulled open from the right side, and the cigarette rolls are neatly arranged inside. There are also gilded patterns, patterns and the words "Yazhou Tobacco Bureau" on the lid of the wooden box.

Yazhou Tobacco Bureau, the scale is not small, but I am afraid that it is the industry of Shu Wangfu again! The young man whispered in his heart.

He took out a notebook from his bosom, spread it out on the tea table, picked up the charcoal in it, and wrote down what he saw and heard in detail on the notebook. After writing, he checked the text and felt satisfied, so he put it back into his arms.

At this time, a stack of newspapers pressed by the wooden box of the cigarette roll aroused the interest of the young people. He pulled out a copy of his face and unfolded it, and it was still the "Fuxing Daily" that traveled all over Shu. The size is the same as what I have seen in the Qianqing Palace, one foot wide and one foot two inches high. It's just that the Qianqing Palace has only read one and two pages, but this newspaper has three full six pages.

Young people know that the most important news is always on the front page of the newspaper Renaissance. He straightened out the newspaper, and a shocking line of big black letters suddenly crashed into his eyes:

The thief of the bolt village was completely wiped out, and the prince of the world was at the ninth level

The content of the article is about the defeat of the local tyrant in Bashan after the prince of Shu Shizi, the old bandits in the Cangbei Mountains merged with the scattered remnants, in a vain attempt to build a village according to the danger and continue to fight against the heavenly soldiers. The first part of the Protector Army was ambushed by thieves in the battle of purging and suppressing, and the commander Wang Wenbiao was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he surrendered alone, and the troops suffered heavy casualties.

When Shu Shizi heard the news, he decided to clear the bandit nest in Cangbei once and for all, so he led the army to conquer in person.

The villages of Longshan are afraid of the power of the sons of the world, and bow down. But the people up and down the bolt village are all old bandits and thieves, relying on the road far away from the village, there are many people and sophisticated, and they dare to resist stubbornly.

The prince and the soldiers of the Protector Army were not afraid of hardships and dangers, went deep into the mountains, and surrounded the bolt village.

In the attack of the Protector Army, the thieves of the Bolt Village repeated their old tricks, first with hundreds of guns and cannons to set up a formation on the mountain beam to lure it, and then lay thousands of elite soldiers under the mountain beam, waiting for our army to be defeated in front of the formation, then they had to ambush the troops in all directions, directly hit the middle army.

At the last moment, the prince got a warning signal from the sky, and promptly turned the Chinese army into a strong phalanx to meet the thieves, and the front army and the rear army were divided into two wings to attack. The prince himself abandoned his horse and fought on foot, firing a series of firearms with nine blows and nine hits.

Gan Liangchen, the general of northern Sichuan, Jia Denglian, the general of Chu, Gao Fuxin, the generals of the Protector Army, Yu Fei, Jiang Lu, Yang Jingxin, Li Changxiang, the general of Dazhou, and the soldiers of the whole army, forgot their lives and killed the enemy bravely.

Thousands of thieves took turns attacking the Chinese army's formation, but all ended in a crushing defeat. Later, our army returned to help, and attacked from the front and rear. The thieves are all broken, running all over the mountains and fields, and the soldiers of the Protector Army are bravely attacking, "like a tiger and a wolf driving a flock of sheep!" ”

In order to deter those cottages who disobeyed the king's law, the prince issued an order to burn the "ancestral hall of the house" of the bolt village to ashes; The bandits in the village, "no matter how old or young, they will not be spared".

As for the traitor Wang Wenbiao, he was captured alive by the Protector Army, and after a military trial, he ended up with a "thousand guns and ten thousand sons piercing their hearts".

Hand Blade Level 9!

Seeing the title, a mocking sneer appeared on the young man's face. However, this mockery was soon replaced by the solemnity between the eyebrows. The content of the article is consistent with the rumors he heard in Boryeong Mansion in many places. It is also rumored that because Shu Shizi ordered the slaughter of the plug village, he was punished by heaven and made him unconscious for three days and three nights.

Could it be that this teenage Shu Shizi really has a destiny?

The young man reread the text and forcibly drove out the disrespectful thoughts in his head.

The soldiers of the vassal king are exactly what the emperor is most worried about. With this Shu newspaper, the matter of Shu Shizi's pawn can be confirmed!

And according to the content of the article, the official army of northern Sichuan, the Chu army, the feudal soldiers, and the national protector army are all under the command of this Shu prince!

From this, it can also be inferred that the Sichuan government has gone up to Fu Zhao and Sansi, and down to Daofu Prefecture and County

The guards are all informed and agree!

Could it be that Shu Di is really secretly reversed?

The sun outside the window is getting hotter. They delicately passed through the branches and leaves of the big tree and turned into ten thousand arrows of light and shot into the teahouse.

The newspaper in front of him was full of flickering spots.

The young man gently put down the newspaper and turned his eyes back to the window. The flow of people outside the window has become more and more dense, and there are already many people who burn incense and pray at the gate of Zhenwu Palace. For some reason, the Zhenwu Palace has not opened the palace gate for a long time, and there is a buzzing noise in the pilgrims.

The emperor's rooster crowed, and he couldn't sleep at night, and he became ill from exhaustion. If his diligence is like this, isn't this the Son of Heaven?

There was no such thing as a feast in the palace. There are countless people near the palace, and the emperor is all present, and there is no joke. It's not close to the sound, isn't this the Son of Heaven?

Whenever the prisoner is imprisoned after the autumn, the emperor will fast and wear plain clothes, avoid the palace and withdraw from the fun. If his punishment is like this, is this not the Son of Heaven?

The Tiger City in the west, the leopard room in the west of the city, and the beast room behind the city are in vain to consume the people's fat and people's ointment. The emperor indulged in the West Mountain, killing tigers and leopards to give close ministers, and his compassion for the people was like this, is this not the Son of Heaven?

There was a great drought and storm in the world, and the emperor was exposed to the sun in the middle of the sun above His Majesty in the main hall, kneeling and praying. His reverence for heaven is like this, is this not the son of heaven?

The emperor studied and exacted, the four books, the six classics, the sexual theory, the general jian, the university, the Zhenguan political dignitaries, the emperor's ancestral teachings, and the emperor's illustrations, and he didn't do it day and night. Every time he spoke on the day of the banquet, he repeatedly argued with the ministers, and the lecturers all gave in. If he is studious, isn't this the Son of Heaven?

The young man thought of the world supreme who was really tired on the throne of the Qianqing Palace, and he couldn't help but have a sour nose and tears soaked his eyes.

Those ignorant people outside the window, do you know how much the emperor uses every day? Less than one percent of the Apocalypse!

Do you know how long our emperor's crown robe will have to be worn? A whole month!

Is it the emperor's fault that the world has been eroded to this point?

Definitely not!

Whose fault is that?

It's the fault of those who mislead the king!

Is the world erosive? Another thought popped into the young man's mind.

There is no erosion in this Shu land, at least there is no erosion in this rich land in western Sichuan! Look at the believers outside the window, among the items they offer to Emperor Zhenwu, there are even extravagant fragrant flowers, vegetable oil, and sweet fruits!

Although I don't know what the prince of Shu is thinking, I have to advise the emperor to take decisive measures! The young man secretly made up his mind.

The feudal kings and soldiers, the unauthorized killing of ministers, the smuggling of tea and horses, the arbitrary establishment of the official military system, the collusion with the barbarian localities, and even the unauthorized change of the law of the imperial examination and the selection of scholars, are all mortal crimes!

And all of the above are all related to the appeasement and public collusion of Sichuan Governor Liao Daheng and Sichuan Governor Liu Zhibo!

If the emperor continues to be confused by Zhou Yanru's slander, he will tolerate the Sichuan domain for a long time. One day, Sichuan will be reversed! The world will change!

"Ma Gong!" The scholar who was looking out of the window suddenly spoke: "Lord Lu is back!" He's a man! ”

Lu Yi came back alone. Didn't he see the fan of Dongchang again? But in less than two hours, he wouldn't be so impatient! There's no hurry, it's all clear when we meet anyway.

The young man thought as he took out all the newspapers under the cigarette box, folded them together with the one in his hand, and put them in his arms.

"It's not good, Lord Lu was stopped by the Shudi police!" The scholar suddenly exclaimed.

If he hadn't been disturbed by the unexpected event, the young man would have read the newspaper to the end. In this way, he will see the serialization of the second edition of the "Fuxing Daily" "Liaohai Floating Life - From Phi Dao to Denglai (1)", the author Wen Anzhi.

This signed article, from the perspective of a small soldier of the Dongjiang Army who fled to Shu, with detailed first-hand materials and very infectious words, unveils the dusty blood and tears of Liaodong, the Liao army and the Liao people in the early years of Chongzhen.

After the publication of this article, it not only aroused the attention of people from all walks of life in Shu to the northeastern border of the Ming Dynasty, but also aroused their wide emotional resonance.

Snowflakes of letters from readers filled the mailbox of the editorial office of Fuxing Daily.

The greatest wish of the readers is that this article will be published in full in the next issue of the newspaper, and that there will be no eunuchs.

Note 1: Nursing homes, an integral part of the social welfare system of the Ming Dynasty.

Note 2: Dongmen Bridge, built in the Song Dynasty, is also known as Changchun Bridge. The more famous name is called Mao Jin Bridge.

Note 3: Xue Taojing, in today's Chengdu Wangjiang Park.
