Chapter 372: The first good place in the prosperous capital

This storehouse is used to store samples, and there are all kinds of things in it, but most of the things that will perish in a short time, such as seasonal food, have been taken away, and it is a waste if they are not used, but they are only recorded, and the physical objects are gone.

In view of this, Li Mi was also a little worried, after all, the people in the caravan said that these yellow algae mud was a rare and valuable tonic comparable to bird's nest, or even more precious than bird's nest, and it was difficult to guarantee that people would not take it away and eat it.

And the facts soon proved that Li Mi's worries were very reasonable, he rummaged in the warehouse for an afternoon, and finally pulled the Yicheng in, after all, he found nothing, and the sample of yellow algae mud was not found after all.

No sample could be found, and Li Mi couldn't speculate whether this thing was dangerous, so the line was naturally broken.

Yi Cheng also explained the various reasons why the sample did not stay, but Li Mi didn't have much entanglement.

Since the sample can't be found, you can only find that caravan, not to mention that the escort team actually let such a large caravan get in, which is a hidden danger in itself!

Li Mi did not delay, after returning from the warehouse, he found Mo Hengluan and others, and explained the situation clearly, Mo Hengluan also realized the seriousness of the situation, so he planned to enter Beijing in advance.

But this kind of thing involves a locality, and there is no evidence, it can't be used to distinguish it from the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and it can't be used as an excuse for it, Mo Hengluan still has to supervise a lot of martial artists, and he can't leave.

After thinking about it, everyone discussed it, and decided that Li Mi would enter Beijing first, secretly inquire about the caravan, and the details of the escort, which was also the best choice.

Since it is a private visit in advance, it is impossible to make a big fanfare, and the friends can't take it with them, but they can't be alone, because as I said earlier, traveling alone is either a bold artist or a lack of tendons in the head, and the bold artist is usually not a decent person, and it is easy to attract the attention of others.

So Li Mi can't go alone, a girl like Qiu Dong who has no ability to protect herself can't take it, Zhen Mi naturally wants to go, otherwise Li Mi doesn't have to go out, or she will be abused by Zhen Mi.

If it was just Li Mi and Zhen Mi, pretending to be brother and sister or husband and wife, they would inevitably be a little thin, so Li Mi brought Zhang Huangting and Qin Liangyu with him.

Qin Liangyu is Zhen Mi's swordsman, and when he reunites with Zhen Mi, especially after experiencing life and death, he will never abandon Zhen Mi, so he naturally wants to go.

As for the other candidate, Suo Changsheng is actually more suitable than Zhang Huangting, but Suo Changsheng wants to restrain Emmanuer, if he takes Suo Changsheng, he must bring Emmanuer, but Emmanuel is a red-haired ghost, where is it still a private visit with him.

Zhao Guangling wanted to go, but this time the palace test directly decided to stay or go, if the emperor is willing to order him, it means that he accepts those famous families to enter the WTO to participate in politics, if the palace test is a temptation, the palace test is the final test, Zhao Guangling also had to prepare carefully, deal with it carefully, and follow Mo Hengluan honestly.

In this way, Li Mi left these people behind and took Zhen Mi, Zhang Huangting and Qin Liangyu to enter Beijing first.

Although Li Mi had no experience in Beijing, the governor Mo Hengluan assigned a guide to Li Mi, secretly guiding Li Mi, and giving Li Mi a chance in advance.

Li Mi has seen the Forbidden City of later generations, the Forbidden City was built by the Ming Dynasty, at this time the Forbidden City and later generations are not the same, the prototype and outline are there, but it is in a different style.

In front of the city gate is a muddy road, to the city gate, the bluestone road is pressed out of the deep road by ruts, there is already a market around the city gate, many officials are carrying sticks to maintain order, there are also soap or charges, holding account books, in the inspection or collection of taxes.

The crowd is real, but there are no freshly dressed angry horses among the pedestrians, and occasionally there are cars and horses passing by, and the grooms are also shouting loudly, and there are porters trotting in front of them to open the way.

Some red-haired ghosts are curious and amazed, and even red-haired ghosts, accompanied by some Confucian scholars, sketch and paint in a distance, as if they want to record all the worlds of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, there are also a lot of Taoists or gods, pretending to be gods and ghosts to do deceptive acts, from time to time there will be thieves who are chased all the way, the officials chased for a while, can only stop and gasp, the stick can't be lifted, the thief also turned back and mocked, some knights can't look at it, quietly stretch out their feet and trip over the thief.

Many pictures also outline the floating scene.

Li Miben was also worried that Zhen Mi's appearance was too conspicuous, so he dressed up in men's clothes, and when he arrived here, he found that many chivalrous women traveled in women's clothes openly, but he was a little worried.

However, this kind of women's clothing is not a skirt, let alone a jacket, but a strong suit that is convenient for walking, wearing a long jacket outside, covering the figure, and wearing a fur hat on the head.

In ancient times, it was not easy for women to travel, and it was not a woman's virtue to show her head, or she was open like the Tang Dynasty, and women also needed to wear a veil when they went out, which was from head to toe, just like the Arab women of later generations, but later it was changed to cover their faces.

Later, even the veil was gone, and the women usually traveled in men's clothing, and some women who drank wine were also upright and bright, and it was not a problem to travel and date with guests, and it would not attract criticism.

However, the Ming Dynasty followed the Tao of Cheng Zhu Lixue, and the social etiquette was gradually closed, and there were many taboos for women to travel.

But the capital is not too strict, after all, this is a melting pot, all over the world, no matter the courts, rivers, lakes, mountains and fields, all kinds of people gather, no one cares who you are, only care if you can bring benefits or dangers, that's all.

Although there was a guide secretly supporting, Li Mi and the others also lowered their eyebrows and pleasing their eyes, swallowed their anger, tried to keep a low profile, first found a secluded courtyard in Hungry Mazi Hutong to live, rested for a long time, relieved their breath, and then began to investigate the caravan.

Shuntianfu is under the jurisdiction of Wanping and Daxing two counties in Beijing, Wanping is the south gate of Beijing, but at this time there is no city, Shuntianfu Yin is a member of the three products, three levels higher than the ordinary prefect, usually by Shangshu and other court officials concurrently managed.

As a three-grade yamen, there is usually only a copper seal, but Shuntianfu uses a silver seal, which is more expensive than the governor and governor.

It is precisely because of this that the local officials who are feudal officials can only be people with their tails between their legs when they come to the capital, not to mention that Li Mi is not much different from the common people in the capital where there are many high-ranking officials like dogs.

Therefore, it is very difficult to investigate directly from Shuntianfu, of course, if you use the identity of a famous commander, it is a different matter.

But this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and I don't know how many eyes are watching in secret, how can Li Mi use this layer of identity at will.

Since it can't be done on the surface, he can only investigate from the dark, which is also the main purpose of Li Mi's trip.

And the snake has a snake road, the ant has an ant road, the court has the etiquette of the court, and the rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes.

Li Mi is not a person in the rivers and lakes, he is not familiar with these rules of the rivers and lakes, and he has no doorway, but he can't stand Zhen Mi and Qin Liangyu and even Zhang Huangting, they are all authentic people in the rivers and lakes, and they are also fearless this time.

There are nine city gates in the inner city of Beijing, the imperial city is the Forbidden City, there are six city gates, and the outer Guo was expanded in Jiajing, and there are seven city gates, and the scope of the capital is larger.

Li Mi and the others came in from Yongding Gate, thinking of entering the inner city from Zhengyang Gate, but after thinking about it, they stayed in the outer city first.

After a temporary rest, everyone also discussed properly, although Zhou Yu entered the palace, Wu Ying was powerful, and the people of Wei Ying should not dare to move in the capital, but Zhen Mi betrayed Zhou Yu and switched to Li Mi, and he couldn't guarantee what would happen to Zhou Yu, so Zhen Mi and Qin Liangyu were not suitable to show up.

So Li Mi asked them to investigate where the people who were escorted up were all locked up and what the situation was now.

As for the investigation of the caravan, it will be done by Zhang Huangting and Li Mi, Zhang Huangting's family is a martial arts family, if you talk about things on the rivers and lakes, he is more confident than Zhen Mi.

After the discussion was completed, the four of them were divided into two groups to act, and Zhang Huangting led Li Mi and walked to the South Gate Street.

This good land is every inch of land, and so many rich and powerful people want to settle down in the capital and buy industries, and they have already carved up all the real estate.

Outside the capital is the Imperial Village, and no one has the courage to occupy the Imperial Village, so the land price in the city is even more expensive.

Because of this, the shops on both sides of the street are generally very small, and of course, there are many large brands and restaurants, which ordinary people can't enter.

After walking for half an hour, it is still very lively, and the weather in this capital is really surprising.

But here, the area is gradually cramped, the sewage on the ground is flowing sideways, low and dilapidated houses begin to appear on both sides, and there are even many vegetable patches, barefoot children are running everywhere, a pair of thief eyes are turning, Li Mi is really familiar with such scenes, as if he has suddenly returned to the Yaxing near the gate of Suzhou City.

In a trance, Zhang Huangting had already stopped: "It's here." ”

Li Mi withdrew his eyes from everywhere and looked up, but he saw a huge mansion in front of him, and two stone lions in front of the door, but they were covered without a trace.

In ancient times, there were rules for the house, and in the Tang Dynasty, it was not possible to open the door to the street, and even the main entrance stairs were strictly regulated and could not be transgressed.

This pair of stone lions is very powerful, and the former owner of this house is either rich or expensive, but now it is low-key, which hides the stone lion.

Directly above the wide gate, there is a gold-lettered plaque, on which the iron is painted with a silver hook, and it is the word "Qi Chang", just looking at these two words, a strong martial arts atmosphere will come to the face!

"What's going on?" Li Mi inevitably wanted to ask, but Zhang Huangting pretended to smile mysteriously and said to Li Mi.

"You'll find out when you go inside."

Since the incident in the nephrite cave, Zhang Huangting has been mixed with Zhen Mi and others, and his daughter's posture has become more and more soft, and this smile also makes Li Mi a little shaken, he used to treat him as a man, but he is afraid that he will change it in the future.

Because of this smile, Li Mi actually felt a little suddenly moved, and quickly removed his eyes and walked in with Zhang Huangting.
