Chapter 484: Nine Square Grid
Liu He looked at Qian Zhuan blankly, obviously not understanding the meaning of Qian Zhuan's words.
Qian Zhuan smiled faintly, "A few of our brothers have followed the leader of you to go south and north, and it has not been a day or two, and we all know your temper very well." Let's take Brother Li Qin's incident this time, according to your character, you would definitely take us to rush into the county barracks and turn it upside down, but you didn't do it, just let Miss Yu'er arrest that guy alone. Your hard work, the big guy doesn't say it, but he understands it in his heart. You did this, on the surface, you didn't want to make a big deal and leave a way for the village to live, but in fact, you wanted to leave a way out for Li Qin. If he is allowed to rush to the county barracks and slash and kill, I am afraid that from now on, Li Qin's temperament will change greatly, and he may even reach the point of being out of control. After all, in order to help your brother, you have put a lot of effort into it. ”
Liu He, who was told through his thoughts, showed a smile on his face.
Qian Zhuan changed his words, and his expression became serious, "But no one can help him about Taimeng, the knot in his heart is a dead button, and no one can untie it." ”
"If you can't untie it, then cut it!" Liu He erected two fingers and made a gesture of cutting things with scissors.
"If only it were that easy," Qian Specialist sighed, "It's hard to say anything about him, and when you get to the place, you'll naturally know it." ”
After listening to Qian Zhuan's words, Liu He pondered for a long time alone.
He wanted to know what had happened to Tayman.
It's a good thing to be able to stick to your beliefs, but at the same time, it comes with a kind of paranoia, which must have arisen after experiencing an unforgettable past.
Qian Zhuan said that Tai Meng's heart knot is a dead button, and no one can untie it, but Liu He doesn't believe in this evil, where there is a cause, there must be an effect, as long as you find that cause, you will definitely be able to help Tai Meng untie the knot.
Thinking of this, Liu He suddenly felt more confident, but as soon as his mind moved, he suddenly realized that his thoughts were not a kind of paranoia?
Qian Zhuan and Tai Meng's hometown, not far from Li Qin's hometown, set off from the northernmost part of Jingzhou, and after walking east for a few days, the group arrived at their destination.
After going out a few times before, Liu He's head hurt when he heard the names of those places, and he didn't bother to ask, so until he arrived at the place, Liu He didn't inquire about where this was.
But when he heard the familiar name of the place that could no longer be familiar, Liu He's face suddenly showed a look of shock.
Yingchuan.
Unexpectedly, the hometown of his two powerful generals turned out to be this place where there are many famous men and many wealthy families.
Although Yingchuan is very famous, the place is not big, especially as a county, it is really a bit reluctant.
Compared with the prosperity of Chengdu City, Yingchuan is more of a quiet and elegant.
The formation of this atmosphere is all due to those wealthy families located in Yingchuan, and the children of these famous families are almost all readers who are full of poetry and books, so most of the pedestrians who come and go on the street are dressed as scholars.
After strolling around the street for a while, Liu He found a very interesting thing.
There are four main streets, two in the north-south direction and two in the east-west direction, like a tic-tac-toe shape, and Yingchuan is divided by these four main roads, and if you look down from the sky, the whole Yingchuan becomes a standard nine-square grid.
This kind of urban planning, which can almost be described as exquisite, generally only appears in the capital city at the foot of the Son of Heaven, as well as the seat of the state capital, and is rarely seen at the county level.
Of course, all this is also due to the influence of the local scholars, this horizontal and vertical, and even some stereotyped architectural style, just like the attitude of those big clans to study and learn, has a kind of rigor in its bones.
The place where the readers gather is naturally a little less noisy and a little more bookish.
When he first arrived here, Liu He still felt that this place was very similar to the Moling Tomb that was crowded with scholars at the beginning, only missing the very tasteful bluestone slab street and a few more deep mansion compounds.
But after turning around, Liu He found that this place where the family was lined with valves, compared to the Moling that once made people from all over the world flock to it, it still lacked some heat.
In Moling, in addition to those shops that sell daily necessities, there are bookstores the most.
In Yingchuan, although there are more than a dozen bookstores of all sizes, it seems that the most prosperous business is not these bookstores, but those places where the lights are glittering.
Among the nine areas divided by the four main roads, the four corners of the northeast, northwest, southeast and southwest are occupied by the four major families of Yingchuan.
The other four places, apart from the smaller ones and some ordinary houses, are shops next to each other, and these shops are very elaborate.
There is a saying in Yingchuan that the book of the north city, the pen of the south city, the qin of the east city, and the tea of the west city refer to the division of shops located in the four urban districts of the east, west, south and north respectively.
These four things are inseparable from every reader, and the most central area of the entire Yingchuan seems to make them even more fascinated.
Because it intersects with the four main roads, this place, the shops in the four directions of the south, east, west, and north, are all open to do business, and it is much more lively than the other eight urban districts.
The row of shops in the west is all restaurants, even if it is not a meal at this time, but none of the restaurants are still full.
Liu He looked inside, most of them were children of families with fresh clothes and angry horses, eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, drinking elixir and jade liquid, and they all had words on their lips, as if they were reciting poems against each other.
The shops in the north are all selling rouge gouache.
At first, Liu He was still a little puzzled, it stands to reason that there are not many people in Yingchuan, and those ladies hide in the room every day and don't come out, these shops selling rouge gouache should have no business, but when he got closer, Liu He was startled.
It's no less crowded than the restaurants on the west side, every shop is crowded, and the most strange thing is that most of the people who come here to pick up rouge gouache are men, and women are rarely seen.
When he arrived in the east and saw the transactions opened here, Liu He immediately realized.
It turned out that those children of the family came out of the rouge shop in the north, turned around and entered the green building in the east, and the rouge gouache they had just bought was naturally useful.
When I came to the south again, it was even more direct, tearing off the elegant coats of the Qinglou and turning it into a brothel for the skin and meat trade.
