The arrow is on the string and has to be sent.
Empress Wei was in the Ming place, step by step towards the emperor's throne.
Not to be outdone, Li Longji was in full swing preparing for a coup d'Γ©tat in the dark.
Dark clouds rolled over Chang'an City, and the sound of fighting seemed to come from afar. But among the common people, it is a faction of peace. Six streets and three markets, pedestrians are like clouds, bustling, talking and laughing. Although, the tall imperial city can be seen from every corner of Chang'an, the common people still feel that it is too far away from them.
β¦β¦
Two personal soldiers, a squad leader surnamed Sun, and four officials took Gu Yuntian and Zhang Baoer through the streets of Kuozhou City.
Sun Zhutou is fifty years old, don't look at his figure and hunchback, but he grew up in Kuozhou since he was a child, and he has been on an errand in the public gate for 30 years, and he knows Kuozhou City well, so he was sent by the assassin to assist Gu Yuntian in investigating the case.
Sun Bantou led the two of them to a room at an inn called "Guest Lai" in the east of the city, and then walked towards the scene of the crime.
Walking between the streets and alleys of Kuozhou, the screams of the hungry people outside the city still echoed in Zhang Baoer's ears. Zhang Baoer knew in her heart that if she wanted to help the victims, she must find out the truth and recover the food.
While thinking about it, Zhang Baoer suddenly heard a long sigh behind her, which was clear in her ears.
Zhang Baoer followed the sound and looked back, only to see a person walking not far behind him, looking dressed, it seemed to be a fortune teller, carrying a bamboo cane, and a white flag on the cane, on which were crookedly written four big characters: immortals guide the way.
The Taoist was dressed in blue and white Dao spores, his face was like a crown of jade, with three locks of long hair, wearing a pair of green cloth and linen shoes, and his clothes were fluttering, with a bit of fairy bearing, and he was looking at Zhang Baoer at this time, shaking his head and sighing.
Zhang Bao'er stepped forward and arched her hand, and asked softly, "Old man, I don't know why you shook your head and sighed?" β
The fortune teller said loudly: "Alas! I see that the two brothers have a black face, and the Yin Tang is black, which should be a sign of bad luck. But don't worry, there is a poor road here......"
Just as he was about to say more, Sun Bantou, who led the way, rushed forward and said, "Two adults, don't pay attention to him." This old man didn't know when he came, and he wandered around the market in this area, and he was used to being abducted and deceived, and he was idle. β
When the fortune teller saw the official come forward, he immediately changed his face, and said with a smile: "It's the big brother of the team!" The little clumsy eyes, the collision, the collision, the mistake, the mistake. Alas, I'll take a closer look, oops, this brother Tai is full of heaven, the earth is round, and there is a purple aura lingering between his eyebrows. Slow down, slow down! The villain will get out of the way! β
As he spoke, his expression was panicked and panicked.
Zhang Baoer turned around and wanted to leave, but who expected that the fortune teller's feet were empty, and one stumbled and fell, and hit Zhang Baoer directly. Zhang Baoer's eyes were quick, and her left hand stretched out to put it on the fortune teller's shoulder, and forcefully took it, and the fortune teller got up, arched his hand again and again, and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." β
Seeing that the official was glaring, he was so frightened that the fortune teller crawled and walked away, and was seen by a group of military officers, laughing nonstop.
Only Zhang Bao'er looked at the back of the fortune teller, frowning, as if thinking about something.
The official behind him saw Zhang Bao'er stunned, and shouted: "This lord, we should go!" β
Hearing the call of the officials, Zhang Baoer came back to his senses, and the group continued to walk forward, turning two street corners in front of them, and a courtyard appeared in front of them, with white walls and black tiles, the gate was closed, and two white paper lanterns were hanging in front of the door, swinging in the wind. The walls of the house were so high that they obscured the view and could not see the scene in the courtyard, except for pieces of paper money floating out of the courtyard from time to time.
Zhang Bao'er secretly said "strange", and asked Sun Bantou beside him: "That night, the army that held the grain, but spent the night here?" β
When the official heard Zhang Bao'er's question, he hurriedly replied: "If you go back to your lordship, yes, the army was stationed here that night!" β
Zhang Baoer asked again: "What kind of place is this?" Whose house? β
The head of the Sun squad replied: "What kind of house is this! In the early years, this was a city god temple. Later, it was abandoned, and this waste was abandoned for many years. The year before last, the new Lord Thorn Shi ordered that this place be changed into a righteous village. β
Zhang Baoer listened to Sun Bantou's answer and pondered.
Gu Yuntian then asked: "How can the army be stopped in Yizhuang for the night?" β
Hearing Gu Yuntian's question, Sun Bantou replied: "Master Gu, here's the thing. Not long ago, Lord Assassin Shi ordered a group of disaster victims to be put in, and all these victims were placed in the Assassin's Mansion, and grain was allocated from the granary of the state capital for relief. Unexpectedly, more and more people entered the disaster, not only was the Assassin Mansion overcrowded, but even the camp of the garrison in the city was also full of disaster victims, how could there be such a big place to live for the army of grain for a while, not to mention that the 3,000 army and the grain and grass could not be parked separately! For a while, Lord Thorn Shi was also helpless, and originally wanted to move the victims of the Thorn Shi Mansion or the garrison camp to Yizhuang to make room for the grain army, but when Lord Thorn Shi told General Qiu who led the troops the reason for this matter, General Qiu was also a kind-hearted good person, and immediately ordered the army to march into Yizhuang, stay overnight, and then lead the army to leave. Unexpectedly, on the way to Ganzhou the next day, there was such an incident. β
Zhang Bao'er listened to the story of the Sun Bantou, and walked around Yizhuang, and found that this Yizhuang was really not small, and it was more than enough to station a thousand troops.
After Sun Bantou finished telling what happened, Zhang Baoer then asked: "Is this Yizhuang exit the only one?" β
When Sun Bantou heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "This lord, you can really make fun of it, since ancient times, there is no way back. There is only one gate in this world. Would you like to take a little one inside? β
Hearing this, Zhang Baoer smiled and said, "That's it, let's see here first!" β
After that, Zhang Bao'er turned to Gu Yuntian and said: "Chief catcher, I will come to Kuozhou on business, should I go to meet my parents first?" β
Gu Yuntian didn't know what Zhang Bao'er meant, but he still nodded and said, "That's right!" β
The head of the Sun Ban hurriedly admitted: "That's, that's, but the two of you are going to assassinate the Shi Mansion?" β
Zhang Baoer smiled: "Not bad! β
The head of the Sun squad hurriedly said: "Okay, two, please here!" β
