As the saying goes, things gather like people, people are grouped, and each city will naturally classify all kinds of people, such as rich and poor, in the process of its own development, and then gather together according to their own characteristics. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn the city of Beijing, there are rich in the west and expensive in the east, poor in the south and cheap in the north, and this Datong obviously has a similar separation.

For example, Yang Zhen and the others are now in the north city, which is obviously where the poor people in the city gather. In fact, it is also easy to imagine that Datong City is located in the border area, and it is possible to be attacked by the Mongolian tribes in the north at any time, so the north of the city is naturally more dangerous than the rest of the city.

Therefore, the people who will always live in Beicheng and live a fearful life must be the low-level and poorer people in Datong City.

Looking at a few barefoot girls running past a few people, Hu Ge scratched his head with some confusion: "Qianhu, what news do you say you can find here?" Why are those people so worried about us coming here? As he spoke, his gaze glanced behind him, and the three stalkers were still watching them from a short distance.

Yang Zhen couldn't give a definite answer: "This can only be known after asking first." Look, there's a tea stall over there, let's go over and rest first, and then ask. So saying, he went straight to the tea stall, which looked a little shabby.

Because of the unsatisfactory location, this tea stall has always been deserted, and the stall owner, who is nearly sixty years old, is sitting bored behind the small counter and is stunned. As soon as he saw three guests entering the tea stall, he cheered up and bowed to the guests with a smile: "A few guest officers, but what do you want to drink?" There is a ...... here."

Yang Zhen didn't wait for him to introduce his own characteristics, so he waved his hand and said: "Look at the most distinctive tea and snacks in your store and give us a few copies, as long as the taste is good, the money will definitely be yours." ”

"Okay......" The stall owner was even more smiling when he heard this, and immediately ran to the back and began to spread out. After a while, he walked out with a tray, on which in addition to a large pot of tea, there were several stacks of snacks, one of which was a yellow cancan pastry that was quite tempting.

This Datong is not the place where tea is produced, and it is even more impossible to have any good tea in Beicheng that can make Yang Zhen feel good, but the yellow pastries taste really fragrant and glutinous, which makes people can't help but move their appetites. Especially Cai Yingyang, after tasting it and feeling good, he was a storm and ate a stack of more than ten pastries by himself.

Yang Zhen couldn't help but smile and shake his head when he saw this, this brother is indeed a real person, and he never knows how to write the word polite. But what he likes is Cai Yingyang's upright temper, because such talents are the most trustworthy.

Eating the pastry in his hand, Yang Zhen beckoned to the stall owner and said, "Boss, this pastry tastes really good, let's have another one." ”

When the stall owner saw him so ordered, he was immediately overjoyed, and soon took out another one. While he was serving snacks, Yang Zhen grabbed him and started talking. Of course, at first it was just about this pastry: "Boss, what is this pastry called, what is it made of, it really tastes good, and I can ask someone to make it and eat it when I go back." ”

"How many of them are outsiders, right?" The stall owner smiled and said: "This cake is a more common food in my Datong City, called the golden cake." However, this is just to please the head, it is made by grinding millet into powder, cooking it, and then putting it in a frying pan. The outside is crispy and the inside is soft, and the taste is naturally the best. ”

"It's not too difficult." Yang Zhen nodded with satisfaction.

When the stall owner saw that he had answered, he wanted to leave. I didn't want Yang Zhen to stop him again: "Boss, I came here with two brothers to do some business, but I found that the atmosphere in the city seems to be a little wrong recently, what's going on?" ”

"Don't you know? That's because there was a turmoil in our Datong official army, and the government was busy suppressing the rebellious army. Ay...... In this war, many people will suffer, and they are all my Ming army, what a crime! He shook his head with some emotion.

"And this?" Yang Zhen looked surprised: "How can this be so?" ”

"I don't know about this old man, that's what adults should do." The stall owner sighed and shook his head, as if he did have limited knowledge of what was going on.

Yang Zhen knew that if he continued to ask the reason, he would see some questions, and he was afraid that he would not be able to ask anything, so he just sighed and did not speak again. But then he heard the stall owner muttering as he walked back to the counter: "Those rebels are fine, but they have pity on their wives and children who have left them in the city...... In the past few days, the government has sent people to arrest many people, but recently there have been fewer people, and it seems that they have all arrested all of them. ”

Although his words were quite light, they did not hide from Yang Zhen's ears, as soon as he heard this, Yang Zhen already understood why those stalkers were afraid that he would come to Beicheng, because this was the place where the families of those rebellious soldiers were.

Datong Beicheng is the front line facing the Mongol Tatars, and it is naturally the most dense place for the army. At this time, the army was different from later, they all dragged their families with their mouths, and since they were in the north of the city, their families were naturally here. And the soldiers belong to the bottom of this era, and the northern city where they are located has naturally become the poorest place in Datong City. In this way, everything makes sense! And if you want to find out the reason why the rebel army is in rebellion, it is naturally easiest to inquire from their family members.

But then, Yang Zhen felt embarrassed again, since he could think of this, those Datong officials would naturally also think of it, would they leave such a scourge for themselves to investigate? Didn't you listen to what the stall owner said, those families of the rebels have been arrested by the government a few days ago, but I am afraid that now in the entire Beicheng, they may not be able to find a family member of the rebels who can provide clues and evidence for themselves, even if there is, in order to avoid the arrest of the government, I am afraid that they are all hidden.

But in any case, this is always good news, at least today has come out of a lot of gains, and there is a clue to track down. As long as you continue to follow this clue, you will definitely find the answer you want.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhen, who was in a good mood, dried the bowl of slightly bitter tea, and then took out a small grain of broken silver and counted it as tea money. When the stall owner saw it, he was dumbfounded, he had not seen a customer pay for tea in silver for so many years, and he couldn't find it. Fortunately, Yang Zhen waved his hand, said that he had rewarded him all, and took the two brothers out of the tea stall.

At this time, the stall owner was really flattered, and sent them out in surprise, and did not come back to his senses for a long time.

What happened in this tea stall naturally couldn't be hidden from those stalkers. They were already nervous because Yang Zhen and them came to Beicheng, and they saw him stay in the tea stall for a long time, and after talking to the boss for a while, they also generously gave a reward far more than the cost of refreshments, which made them even more suspicious.

One of them glanced at the two of them and asked them to continue to follow Yang Zhen and the three of them, and they flashed into the tea stall. When the stall owner saw that another customer came to the door, he was naturally full of joy, and he was about to greet him, but he found that the other party was not good, and he panicked......

Yang Zhen didn't know that his behavior would bring an unwarranted disaster to this innocent tea stall owner. He only thought about how to use this as a breakthrough next, and then thought about finding the families of the rebellious army who escaped from the pursuit of the government and ascended to heaven.

While thinking and walking, Yang Zhen had unconsciously left the northern range of the city. It was the end of the day, and although the sky was still bright, it was clear that the day was soon to pass.

Yang Zhen knew that because it was located in the border area, Datong had the same curfew as Beijing, so he decided to return to Huayan Temple and tell Zhong Yu about today's harvest, and then he would make the latest deployment. After all, the real head of Datong this time is still Qincha Zhongyu.

By the time the sky gradually darkened, Yang Zhen and the others had returned to Huayan Temple and met with Zhong Yu, who had already returned.

After listening to Yang Zhen's story, Zhong Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that Yang Qianhu has indeed made a great gain today." Compared to you, the officials are too ashamed, and those magistrates have not shown the slightest flaw at all. As he spoke, he also told what happened to him.

After Yang Zhen listened, he was silent for a while, and then said, "My lord, it's a little difficult for you to find out the reason for the mutiny through those captives. Not only are they not necessarily willing to be so obedient as to hand over the rebel captives, but I am also afraid that they will threaten the families of the rebels with the safety of their families so that they will give us the answers they want. ”

"Well, that's really debatable. With the mentality of Datong officials, they must also do this kind of thing. In this case, I think it is extremely difficult to start in this area. Zhong Yu said, and his eyes fell on Yang Zhen's face: "This time, you have to rely on Yang Qianhu to investigate among the people." As he spoke, he threw a fist at him.

"My lord's words are serious, this is all what the lower officials should do." Yang Zhen hurriedly got up to avoid it, and then said: "But when I go out this time, there are people staring behind my back, so even if I find the families of the rebellious army, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to send them safely in front of the adults." ”

"yes...... Those guys aren't going to let us grab the handle easily. Zhong Yu nodded understandingly: "This matter is indeed very tricky. ”

"I'll figure out a way to do this, and I can always come up with a solution." Yang Zhen's eyes flickered, as if he thought of something, but he didn't say it at this time.

But in any case, the effect of this overt and covert visit is still good. At least they have confirmed one thing, that is, there must be a big problem with the officials of Datong in this matter, what kind of truth do they want to cover up?
