Chapter Seventy-Four: The Night Terror

Iron arm Zhang Wan's eyes were red at that time, and he was about to rush over with his arm, but the ghost saw that Li Qian immediately stopped him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

The occasion at this time is not suitable!

At this time, there are too many patrolmen on the street, and if you cause trouble, it is not a punishment such as beating a hundred boards on the street.

Shangyuan Festival is a time of revelry, and it is inevitable that some people will fish in troubled waters, or abduct children, or steal property, or molest women.

In order to prevent such traitors from taking advantage of the fire to rob and take advantage of the festivities of the broad masses of the people to commit crimes, the Great Song Dynasty government strengthened the number of patrol police during the Shangyuan Night Meeting, and at the same time ordered the envoys and ministers under the jurisdiction of the capital to assign local streets to arrest traitors and thieves.

The metropolitan office is the security agency of the Great Song Dynasty government in the main streets and areas of the city, and the police station of the world, which usually specializes in arrest.

At the same time, wherever there are many lively people, huge candles and pine wood are lit to illuminate the road, which is as bright as day.

A large number of soldiers were sent to patrol and stand guard.

Five steps and one post are not counted, there are patrols within one hundred and ten steps, and you can't make a mistake at this time.

In addition, the Lin'an City Metropolitan Office will also carry out a "legal warning" at this time:

Huge candles were lit in the bustling area, and the guards escorted several prisoners, displayed various torture instruments, and wrote their crimes on cardboard.

For example, "Someone snatched the hairpin ring for incompatibility and was beaten by a woman." ”

This means that these criminals take advantage of the unpreparedness of people to snatch the ring ornaments of the lantern-watching women, or take advantage of the crowd to play hooligans on the lantern-watching women.

Then, the officials of the metropolitan government would announce the legal punishment for them in public, and they would also be punished by the same degree.

In fact, it was a performance, and the prisoners who were sentenced in public were not really guilty of stealing property and molesting women, but prisoners in prison, who were temporarily proposed by the government to act as "extras" to cooperate with the official "legal warning".

However, the government's intention is obvious, to achieve a deterrent effect through such a means similar to news broadcasting, so as to police the traitors.

However, if there is a troublemaker, it will be a heavy punishment if caught, so it is better to be careful.

Seeing that the ghost was worried, Li Qian immediately whispered to the two junior brothers and asked them to quietly follow them.

Seeing the sorrow, Li Qian then whispered: "Let's go, let's go back and the guy!" ”

They quietly turned around and went back to the guys.

There are no steel knives, but there are still everything such as eyebrow whistle sticks, dung forks, iron rulers, etc.

The watchers kept coming back to report that they were a group of people, but most of them were children and women, and only the four strong men could give it a shot.

They don't look like they have blades on them------

"Seeing that they are beautifully dressed and generous, they must be rich people, and after a beating, they will knock on a sum of money to unravel the hatred in our hearts."

Iron arm Zhang Wanmo wiped his hands and shouted!

At the same time, everyone beat the sticks on the ground non-stop, and the big fat sheep came!

“duang!” “duang!” “duang!”

The dozen or so people were eager to try, and they had won the fight------

But the ghost saw that Li Qian was still calm, and he said coldly: "When the time comes, don't get close, just shoot it with sticks and dung forks, don't let them get away!" ”

One of his subordinates said, "Big brother, do you want to take down all their men?" ”

Seeing the ghost, Li Qian said contemptuously: "No matter those women and children, if we touch them, we will look the same as the 'alley hulu' Yang San and Yang and the fourth brother in the wicker alley!" Makes my peers laugh------"

"Alley Sudden Law" Yang San and Yang and the fourth brother secretly opened a cabinet in the wicker alley, recruiting people to gamble, they can draw some money, this is a big or small thing, the government has always turned a blind eye.

However, once a foreign merchant came to Lin'an City with his family, while coming to play, while doing business, he gambled all the money here, and borrowed the gambling debts of their two brothers, and then detained his family in Didian, and went back to his hometown to get money, but three months have passed, and the person has not come back, and the two brothers saw that the lady was good-looking and could sell at a good price, so they forcibly sold her to the foreign traffickers, and even the child was not spared!

When the guest returned, and paid back the money, but could not find his wife, they came to them to argue with him, and they knew that they were wrong, but they beat him half to death and threw him out of the city.

As a result, the man struggled to sue the officer.

At this moment, he committed a big case and forcibly sold his wife and son, which is a felony, and he will have to go for 3,000 miles and be imprisoned for three years! As a result, the alley suddenly became an earthworm in the ground at this time, and a group of people and others also dispersed.

The people in the road did not sympathize with them, and laughed at them one after another, because they were not as guilty as their wives and children, and the period was less than half a year, and these two brothers were not righteous.

Seeing the sorrow, Li Qian thought about it and said: "Seeing that those four people have grown up, if they can obey Yu in the future, they may be able to be four good thugs------

The iron arm Zhang Wan was a little annoyed after hearing this, and said, "Then you can't beat them?" Do you want their money? ”

"Of course you have to fight, otherwise how can you convince them?! Of course, I also need money, so I will collect their nomination money------"

In this way, we have decided on the basic program of action, and as for some basic action techniques, there is no need to talk about them, because we have fought with other associations from time to time in the past, and we have a lot of experience in struggle.

------------------------------------------------------------

When Wu Dapeng and others go shopping, how can they not eat something?

But those famous hotels have long been overcrowded, and it seems that many wealthy people come here to drink.

As the night wore on, the alleys were empty, almost everyone went out to watch the lanterns, and there were so many people in the market that they couldn't even find a place to eat and drink.

The little ladies on the royal street are still dressed beautifully, come out to enjoy the fun, and even do not return all night, and they also occupy the seats in the hotel in groups of three or five, and drink openly.

They had no choice but to run to the small stall on the side of the road.

But at this time, don't expect to have exquisite food, among the vendors who sell "market food plates", the famous people are waiting outside the palace gate, waiting for the concubines to enjoy the lanterns, if the royal family is called to buy snacks and snacks at this time, they will be very generous, and the dozens of times the reward money is sent down, and some lucky hawkers have made a fortune overnight.

Of course, the quality of the goods you come up with must also be satisfactory.

Now the roadside stalls are just selling oil hammers, sticky cakes, and marinated goods------

In addition to marinated goods, Bao Wei and Guo Beyu like to eat these.

They also felt strange that the host family liked to let everyone eat the fruit after the meal, and it was not okay not to eat it.

No, as soon as they buy it, it is a basket of oranges, and they can easily carry it in their hands.

There are still a lot of interesting places to go.

For example, go to Lingyin Temple to pray for blessings, where there are the most little ladies and can pick up better ornaments......

For example, if you go on a night boat on the West Lake, there are all kinds of flower boats floating on the lake, the lanterns are bright, and the songs of the singers come and go------

There are also many shadow puppet shows.

On the lively Shangyuan night, the quiet ladies all went out to enjoy the lanterns, how could the active children stay at home? They are all playing in the streets, and they can't sleep at night.

But children are ignorant and crowded, and it is very easy to get lost.

This problem should also be resolved by the Great Song Dynasty government.

So the Great Song Dynasty government came up with a way, they set up a few more small shadow viewing sheds at the entrance of each lane, in the empty space where there is no music shed, and put shadow puppets in it to attract children to come in and watch, so as to prevent the tourists and children in the square from losing each other, so as to attract them.

The cost of this performance is paid by the government, and if the performer works very hard to attract adults to come to watch, then of course he may also get a reward.

The men and women of the Great Song Dynasty never hesitate to give rewards.

Guo Beyu said to Bao Wei dissatisfiedly: "Even children can play for a night, why do you want to go back?" ”

"It must be true that the lords say that when you are young, you should sleep more than you spend ------ night. ”

"What's the point?"

"Ask ------ yourself"

Guo Beyu thought about it for a long time, but he didn't dare to come forward and ask the few masters who led the way back in front.

I can only obediently follow home.

On the way, Wang Defa sighed and said: "Good fruit is not a personal experience, and I can't feel the loveliness of the Great Song Dynasty, although it also has all kinds of problems------

Song Ziqiang didn't want to listen to it, and said: "What else is there besides the large number of people? So why did the Tatar government win? History's choice! ”

Wu Dapeng said coldly: "Then do you think that the vast number of people in the Southern Song Dynasty welcome the Tatar government?" ”

Song Ziqiang scratched his head and said: "Anyway, the people won, and the power will come out under the steel knife------"

Wu Dapeng also sighed and said, "It's still a jungle society!" ”

Wan Shida smiled and patted Wu Dapeng on the shoulder and said, "It has always been a jungle society!" ”

Wang Defa thought about it and didn't speak.

The children they were carrying were each with a lantern, and before they decided to go out of the city, Wu Dapeng asked them to bump the lights into each other.

This is a custom in the Southern Song Dynasty, believing that the lanterns of the Shangyuan Festival cannot be left for the next year, so that it will bring bad luck to the next year, and it is best to burn it, so that the bad luck of the previous year can also be burned.

Wu Dapeng knew that this might be made up by the lantern seller, if everyone kept it, who could they sell it to in the second year?

But let's go with the customs.

In the place where they stored the four-wheeled/large donkey cart, they found a relatively open area and let the little children hit each other with lanterns.

On this festival, of course, the Great Song Dynasty government also paid special attention to fire prevention.

Fortunately, the Great Song Dynasty government has established a relatively complete fire protection system, and there are five or six thousand full-time fire officers and soldiers in Lin'an City, which has a population of more than one million.

Moreover, every two or three hundred steps set up a guard post to patrol the fire alarm, as the commanding heights of the city, the fire tower is also on duty day and night, once a fire is found, immediately sound the alarm, the nearby fire brigade quickly dispatched to put out the fire.

There are also large water pressure trucks.

It seems that everyone has a desire to destroy

In the midst of the children's ecstatic collision, the lanterns made of bamboo tendons soon shattered and burst into flames.

A pile of broken lanterns piled up on the ground, lighting up the place with flames.

The children all clapped their hands and laughed.

The firelight also illuminated the faces of the four people, all of them were cloudy and uncertain, could they really take away the bad luck of the previous year?

It turns out no.

They asked Bao Wei and Guo Buyu to drive the car and take the children to go first, and then slowly followed behind with two male servants and a few maids.

At this time, there was not a trace of clouds in the sky, and the bright moon had already climbed over the willow trees and rose into the sky.

A bright moon shines on Jiuzhou, a few happy and a few sad.

When everyone walked to a place, they saw that several torches were suddenly shot, and a person laughed and turned out from behind the tree.

The four space-time smugglers saw a dozen men, coming out of the woods, out of the grass, all with sticks in their hands......

Damn, this is an organized and premeditated roadblock robbery!

The maids screamed in fright, and the two maids trembled in fright.

Wu Dapeng calmly said to them: "You all stand behind us and get out of the way------

They didn't understand what the shooting boundary was, but they let them hide behind and they could hear it clearly, so they quickly did so.

The four of them stood calmly in a row, facing the dozen or so big men.

Their servants felt like a wall......
