Chapter 250: Patrol in the Shadows (1)

Zuo Jin Wu Wei Mansion is located in the east of the Imperial City in the Bu Zheng Fang, Zhao Ziliang and others are wearing a casual clothes, from the Zuo Jin Wu Wei Mansion on foot, through the Bu Zheng Fang to Jinchun Street, the so-called Jin Chun Street is between Jinguang Gate and Chunming Gate across Chang'an City of a street, through the Imperial City Zhuque Gate and Zhuque Street intersection.

Opposite is Yanshou Fang, close to the wall on the side of Buzheng Fang, Zhao Ziliang and others walked slowly along Jinchun Street in the direction of Jinguangmen.

Jinchun Street is the most important street in Chang'an City except for Zhuque Street, this street is very spacious, pedestrians and cars are constantly flowing, and the traffic rules and habits of pedestrians and vehicles are kept on the right.

Zhao Ziliang can see from the faces of pedestrians that the lives of the people of Chang'an are very rich, although they are all living beings, but the faces of every person are full of self-confidence, which is a phenomenon that Zhao Ziliang is difficult to see even in the metropolis of later generations, this self-confidence comes from the lofty national pride, the name of Datang has been resounding in the world for more than 100 years in this era, and everyone has been given the identity of **** people since the mother's womb, which is innate self-confidence and temperament.

Chang'an City is too big, and it took Zhao Ziliang and the others half an hour to pass through the Buzheng Square from the Zuo Jinwuwei Mansion to Jinchun Street.

After walking for another half an hour, he came to the vinegar spring fang, opposite the vinegar spring fang is the world-famous Chang'an West City, Zhao Ziliang stopped and looked left and right, and said to the two subordinate lieutenant generals, the left and right street envoys, the long history and the record to join the army: "We have walked for half an hour since we set off, right?" Why didn't General Ben see a patrol of soldiers? ”

The security patrol during the day belongs to the jurisdiction of the two lieutenant generals, the left lieutenant general Gao Huaide and the right lieutenant general Jia Mingyuan glanced at each other, their faces were a little embarrassed, and at the same time they were a little annoyed in their hearts, and secretly scolded the lieutenants and soldiers below for being lazy at this time, isn't this making trouble for the two of them?

This is the territory under the jurisdiction of Zuo Zhonglang General Gao Huaide, and he bowed his hand a little embarrassed: "General, the last general has repeatedly ordered and asked for non-stop patrols all the time. The soldiers below are really getting more and more disagreeable, but this patrol has to be carried out every day, and after a long time, the captains and soldiers below are inevitably a little slack and lazy, and now it is a hot day, and this matter is the cool time in the morning, and the soldiers may want to take advantage of the cool to rest more, and it is hot to rest when the sun is high・・・・・・

Zhao Ziliang's face was a little unsightly, if Gao Huaide did not defend himself, he would not shirk his responsibility. He was still a little more comfortable in his heart, this Gao Huaide obviously not only shirked his responsibility, but also defended the captains and soldiers below, he suddenly became angry in his heart, and interrupted him before Gao Huaide finished speaking: "They don't patrol when it's still cool, will they patrol when it's hot at noon?" ”

"This ・・・・・・," Gao Huaide couldn't speak.

The other two former Zhonglang generals Wu Huizu and Houzhonglang general An Peidong glanced at each other, and they were both glad in their hearts, being scolded by a young man who was more than ten or twenty years younger than them, this feeling was really uncomfortable. They deeply understand the feelings of Gao Huaide and Jia Mingyuan.

Zhao Ziliang has a total of four Zhonglang generals and two street envoys, the former Zhonglang general Wu Huizu and the latter Zhonglang general An Peidong are responsible for leading the left Jin Wuwei right guard soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of Zhao Ziliang, while the left Zhonglang general Gao Huaide and the right Zhonglang general Jia Mingyuan are responsible for the security patrol of Chang'an County during the day, and the soldiers and horses and school captains needed to find Zhao Ziliang. After Zhao Ziliang sent the fish talisman to the troops, the two took the fish talisman to find Wu Huizu or An Peidong to transfer, and when it came to the night curfew, the security patrol work was handed over to the left and right street envoys. The left and right street envoys took Zhao Ziliang's troop transfer fish charm to An Peidong or Wu Huizu to transfer troops and horses to carry out curfew and martial law patrols, and the soldiers and horses participating in the daytime or night curfew patrols were often replaced, but many times for convenience or the right guard general wanted to make money. Arrange a fixed part of the soldiers and horses to patrol during the day or at night for a long time, so that because they are fixed in the day or night patrol for a long time, these captains and soldiers will have the opportunity to fish for oil and water, or sometimes the generals and captains above will only arrange a team of soldiers to patrol the streets every day for trouble, day or night, and basically do not change shifts, so that the patrolling soldiers can't stand it, and just want to hide and be lazy to rest, Zhao Ziliang has already understood this after sending someone to secretly investigate during this time.

Patrolling is a relatively hard thing, sometimes a soldier has to patrol for a whole day, his legs are numb, his feet will be blistered, and the captains on horseback have blisters on their legs, and in such a hard situation, of course they will find a way to be lazy.

Zhao Ziliang only said a word, which made the generals and officials under him bow their heads one after another.

Just as he was about to say that he was going to inspect the West Market opposite, a carriage stopped on the side of the street, and the curtain of the carriage was slightly lifted by a white tender hand, revealing a beautiful melon seed face.

"Zhao Gongzi, why are you playing here?" A beautiful voice came from the side.

Zhao Ziliang was shocked, turned his head to look, and was stunned, but he heard the beautiful voice coming from the lathe: "What, Zhao Gongzi doesn't know the slave family?" ”

It turned out that the woman in the carriage was Yang Yuhuan, Zhao Ziliang hurriedly showed a smile and arched his hand: "It turned out to be Miss Yang, and these friends are going to go to the West Market for a visit, Miss Yang is preparing to go out of the city?" ”

Yang Yuhuan was silent for a few seconds, and said: "The slave family hasn't been to the West Market for a long time, I wonder if Zhao Gongzi minds if the slave family is with you?" ”

Zhao Ziliang was taken aback, Yang Yuhuan called himself a slave in front of him, if someone knew her identity, I was afraid that there would be a lot of trouble, and then looked at Yang Yuhuan's face, it seemed that this woman had signs of crying, what was wrong?

Zhao Ziliang quickly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this ・・・・・・, he had always trusted his feelings, he thought that his relationship with Yang Yuhuan was not good enough for her to go shopping with him after she suddenly met, but at this time, the beautiful women had already said everything, and there were so many subordinate generals and officials next to him, refusing at this time would make these people think crankily, so he had to agree: "We don't mind, as long as we may have to walk a long way, we may be a little tired all the way!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, the slave family is just walking, moving and moving," the beauty in the carriage lowered the curtains. He quickly took a white gauze hat to cover his face and stepped out of the carriage, and ordered the coachman to wait at the gate of the West Market.

Zhao Ziliang saw that Yang Yuhuan was thoughtful, and covered his face with a white gauze hat, but he was not worried that her beauty would cause a riot after being seen, so he asked Gao Huaide: "Where do the patrol soldiers on Jinchun Street usually rest and hand over their shifts?" ”

Gao Huaide hurriedly said: "It's just opposite the gate of the West Market, Vinegar Spring Fang, leaning on the side of the street, and it's only a mile away!" ”

"Let's go and have a look!" Zhao Ziliang said and ignored the reactions of others, and strode forward directly.

Yang Yuhuan saw Zhao Ziliang walking in front with his hands behind his back, and couldn't help but speed up a few steps to catch up and walk side by side with him. As he walked, he asked, "Zhao Gongzi, why do you think you seem to be sneaky?" What are you doing? ”

Zhao Ziliang couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, turned his head and said helplessly: "Don't say it so ugly, okay, we are secretly visiting Weifu." Whatever you see, don't talk, just watch! ”

Yang Yuhuan suddenly exclaimed: "Zhao Gongzi, shouldn't you go to the kiln?" Slaves don't go to that kind of place! ”

When the few people behind heard this, they couldn't help but turn their heads, and Hou Zhonglang couldn't help but laugh directly. However, he soon realized that something was wrong, and quickly stopped laughing and turned his head away.

"Ahem, what are you laughing at? What's so funny? Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but turn around and curse twice. said to Yang Yuhuan again: "Of course not, we are all righteous men and gentlemen, how could we go to that kind of place?" Miss Yang is okay lately? ”

was successfully diverted from the topic, and Yang Yuhuan saw Zhao Ziliang and asked about his recent situation. Thinking of the quarrel with Li Mao just now over the issue of distrust, I couldn't help but cry down again.

Zhao Ziliang looked at it, and secretly said that it was not good in his heart. Yang Yuhuan, who asked this sentence, shed tears, but I am afraid that Yang Yuhuan's recent life is not comfortable, at this time, this big beauty is crying beside him, how is this good?

He had to comfort: "Miss Yang, what's wrong with you?" You look at the street, how bad it is for you to cry and cry and be seen, and people who don't know think that someone has bullied you! Let's talk about it slowly, don't cry, okay? ”

Yang Yuhuan also realized that it was not good for him to cry on the street, so he immediately took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his tears.

No, a few people walked to the place where Zuo Jin Wuwei handed over and rested on Jinchun Street, here is a very narrow alley, only two people can pass, and it is a dead end, there is a small door on the left at the end of the dead end, Zhao Ziliang pushed open the door and looked, and saw that more than a dozen soldiers were naked around a square table, and weapons and armor were piled up on the side of the wall. One of the strong men shook the porcelain bowls with two butt mouths with both hands, and shouted while shaking: "Bet, bet, bet!" ”

"What's the matter, this time it must be single, Lao Tzu doesn't believe in evil, and there are nine pairs in a row, this time it must be single! Lao Tzu bet ten wen! A thief-eyed man scolded and slapped ten cents in the position of the order.

"I'm also betting on the bill, five cents!" Another man threw five cents on the table.

"I'll bet on double, five cents!"

"I'm also betting on doubles, ten wen!"

The crowd on the left placed bets, and the strong man who shook the dice put the two porcelain bowls containing the dice on the table, and shouted when he saw the table gambling money: "Why do you bet so little?" Ten texts and five texts, what else is so fun about this? ”

One of the bettors was dissatisfied: "Brother Gu, the money is all for you to win, we just want to bet a little more and have no money!" ”

The strong man of the dealer scolded and said: "Okay, okay, you can bet as much as you want!" It's all bet, I'm going to open it! Okay, open open, one, four, five, double! ”

"Damn, lost again!" The soldiers who bet on the order were all immediately dejected, and the winners were overjoyed.

At this moment, someone found that Zhao Ziliang and the others had been watching behind them for a long time without knowing when they had been, and one of the soldiers shouted, "Hey, who are you?" Do you know where this is? Go out and go out, and if you don't leave, I'll arrest you all and lock you up in Zuo Jinwuwei! ”

Gao Huaide's face was already blue with anger at this time, his top boss, the noble Ziliang of the capital, and the notorious Zhao Ziliang in the eyes of the gentlemen, were here, these soldiers not only did not patrol the streets, but also gathered here to gamble, and it was even more difficult that they were actually muttering in front of him, the general in charge of Zhonglang, that they wanted to put Zhao Ziliang in the prison of Zuojin Wuwei.

Gao Huaide was about to step forward and slap the soldier who spoke, but Zhao Ziliang grabbed him and smiled at these soldiers: "Are you gambling?" Come on, come on, I'll see! ”

As he spoke, he put aside the two soldiers and walked to the table, picked up the dice in the porcelain bowl on the table and looked at it, put it in the bowl and covered it with another porcelain bowl, took out a delicate carving half of the gold medal from his waist and threw it on the table and said: "Come on, come on, Lao Tzu also plays, this is Lao Tzu's gambling money, Lao Tzu sits in the village, a handful of winners and losers, you bet on it, Lao Tzu loses two, you lose, and all the money on your body belongs to Lao Tzu."

"This ・・・・・・ this is the Right Guard General's Soldier Talisman?" The strong man who shook the dice before had some eyesight, and quickly recognized the half of the gold medal that Zhao Ziliang threw on the table, which was Zhao Ziliang's troop transfer talisman as the general of the Left Jin Wuwei and the Right Guard, he had half a piece in his hand, and half of it in the emperor's hand.

After recognizing this half of the troop mobilization talisman, the dozen or so shirtless soldiers who had just gambled were so frightened that they all threw themselves on their knees and shouted for mercy. (To be continued.) )
