The Goolan fence in Xingcheng County, Dingxing Prefecture is located on the side of the Wuding River.

Wei is equivalent to the village of Laozhou, but Wei is not an official administrative unit, but only a contemptuous name for those villages formed spontaneously by foreigners in Xihai Prefecture.

But from the reform of the Holy Ancestor to the present, not only foreigners live in the enclosure, but also many Han civilians.

It can be said that the current Xihai Prefecture is very similar to the international metropolises such as Los Angeles or New York in Midi, and the ratio of Han Chinese to foreigners has reached 1:1, at least in Dingxingfu.

Hook fence, as the name suggests, hook fence place.

And the so-called hook bar is actually a scornful term for a brothel.

During the 100 years when Dingxing Province was just emerging, there were a lot of Hu captives in this area, as well as those Hu slaves who had just been conquered by the Han army, and Hu people who had not been assimilated or refused to be assimilated, and they were relocated to the periphery of Dingxing Province, gradually forming a village-like settlement such as "Wei".

Once people settle down, they always have to find something to do, and the people who go to the fence start a skin business, and the people who go to the fence start a meat business, and the hook fence comes from this.

Of course, with the passage of time, the leather and meat business of Gofen is no longer what can be operated by a straw shed and a railing. In fact, the current hook fence is full of sheng songs and dances, even if the most traditional Han Confucianism comes, it must be called the Qinglou Chu Pavilion Fang Xian elegant and proper.

Moreover, after five hundred years of assimilation, the aborigines in the Goolan fence have long lost the style of the Hu people, and even their appearance has undergone earth-shaking changes, with black hair and black eyes as the most noble and beautiful appearance. Even in the last hundred years, all appearances of foreign lands were considered heretical and unacceptable. At that time, the parents and ancestors were of different races, and by the time their generation had merged into the Han people, but if a baby with the phenomenon of "atavism" was born, it would generally be thrown into the Wuding River and drowned.

But now this trend has slowly disappeared, and there are few babies born in the fence, and with the rise of commerce, it is the real foreigners who have begun to enter and start doing business.

Just as China was going through an extreme period of ten years of turmoil, Xihaizhou also experienced such an extreme period back then. As time faded, this extreme sentiment slowly dissipated, but it also left many traces.

For example, the Han people here will be given special care, but it is not a price concession, and sometimes the Han people who come here to spend more money will even spend more money. The care mentioned here is a bit similar to the feeling of the rice people in Tokyo~~ You must know that even in modern times, the rice people can still get a lot of preferential treatment and special care in the country~~

Of course, special care does not mean that a random Han Chinese will receive special attention. Just like no one will be surprised to see crooked fruit people on the street of the magic capital in the later generations, but walk by very plainly.

In other words, Goolan is one of the most mixed places in Dingxing Province. Anyone can settle here, and anyone can go here without attracting any attention.

The place where Shen Yun and his party settled was in Gofence.

After deciding to make an edict, Shen Yun and the others decided to enter Dingxing Mansion overnight.

Of course, there is a curfew in the inner city of the three counties of Dingxing, and the city gate will be closed at a certain time, and it is impossible for Shen Yun to enter it. But the outer city is a city that never sleeps, without the restrictions of city walls and gates, and the night-time economy here is a little excessive.

It is the darkest hour before dawn, according to the normal schedule, most people should have fallen asleep by now, but the lively night market in the fence is the same as the night market in many cities, the crowds are bustling, shoulder to shoulder, and the street is full of entertainers from all over the world. Of course, there are indispensable patrols on the streets, and there are even captains who are prepared for thieves to patrol and maintain law and order.

From this point of view, the Dingxing Prefecture is still willing to do practical things.

", do you know how much tax benefits you can give to the yamen this night?! At least 100,000 gold coins up! Bai Xiaosheng, who was following Shen Yun, said disdainfully, "Money can make ghosts grind, but without money, who rarely doesn't hug the girls on the kang at night, and come here to blow the cold wind~~"

"I don't know about others, but I'm happy to blow the cold wind anyway!" Ouyang Fu opened a pair of squinting eyes, looking around at the **** wrapped under the dress.

How many women in this fence are serious?! If it was placed in Laozhou, Ouyang Fu's squinting eyes swept away, and it was estimated that the big girls and little daughters-in-law on the street would run away shyly, but here, he glanced at it, and the woman who was concerned would return a flattering look, and even boldly and directly lifted the skirt, revealing the white thighs - the thighs were pasted with words such as "Qunying Building", "Xiangcuifang" and "Erba Beauty Pavilion".

"This ad is really ingenious!" Shen Yun was directly speechless.

Is this the evil feudal society that I knew before? How does it feel more postmodern than modern?

Ouyang Fu was a little happy, and he couldn't wait to pounce on them immediately and hug those white thighs for a while, which really disgusted everyone, until Shen Yun kicked him: "Can you not look like a hungry ghost in your lust, and quickly take us to the agreed place, okay?!" ”

Fang Cheng, who followed closely behind, smiled bitterly at Ouyang Fu with a bitter expression: "Yes, hurry up and go to the ground first, and then walk so slowly, the purses all over the street should run into Shi Qian's arms~~"

Shen Yun turned his head and looked, okay, he had only been walking for a while, Shi Qian had no less than ten purses stuffed in his arms, and he was still holding a greasy money bag in his hand, and he was happily counting the money with thief eyebrows, and he shook his head and sighed from time to time: "Alas, there are only five or six gold coins in such a big bag, and the others are all copper hammers, what kind of green house do you come to visit when you are so poor~~"

Shen Yun was really angry and funny, and couldn't help but kick Shi Qian, "You can't save me some snacks~~ What time is this, and you are still doing your old job." ”

Shi Qian suddenly frowned and smiled, stuffed the money bag into his arms, and didn't dare to perform the "Stealing Saint" stunt casually.

Ouyang Fu also took away the appearance of a hungry ghost in his color, with a straight face, without squinting, and walked straight forward. Not to mention, Ouyang Fu, who was disguised as a decent gentleman, was still very dignified, and even caused the screams of the women who were peeked at by him before......

Atletico Madrid and Yan Ruyu, who were at the end, saw this, but they had their own thoughts.

What Yan Ruyu thought in her heart was that these people had their own abilities, and if they were absorbed into the secret guard, they would definitely be able to help a lot.

Atletico Ma sighed that Shen Yun, Marquis of Bohai, did have the means to recruit so many foreign soldiers to serve under his command, and he could train them so obediently. It is hopeless to inherit the position of the head of the family, but this method should also be learned, waiting for the next day~~

Shen Yun didn't know that his laughter and scolding had been regarded as a means by Atletico Madrid, and he didn't know that he had a little more fan.

In his opinion, Bai Xiaosheng, Shi Qian, Ouyang Fu, Zhang Ji and others are all siblings around him, these people not only share hardships with him, but also live and die together, and they have long been like relatives. These laughs, scoldings and mannerisms, in modern society, people who have gone to college get along like this. But he didn't know that in this era, as a great Han, the Marquis of Bohai was actually already a superior existence, a nobleman of the Han Dynasty, and there was no need to be so gentle to his subordinates.

And Shi Qian and the others may have been a little unaccustomed to the originally high-ranking Han nobles treating them like brothers and relatives at first, but slowly, they are also used to and know gratitude - they know that there is absolutely only one nobleman like Shen Yun, and there is no second one in the world!

If it is said that he helped Shen Yun at the beginning, it was more of the mentality of repaying the gratitude of the chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes, but now and in the unpredictable future, the main reason why they continue to work hard for Shen Yun one after another is this kind of emotion similar to that of their relatives......

A company of flying cavalry guards, saying too much, saying less and not too much, naturally it is impossible to rush into this hook fence in one go, they all enter in batches, and there is even a group of people left in the "lowlands", in case there is anything in case, there is also a report.

The destination of this trip was beyond Shen Yun's expectations.

After experiencing Fang Cai's "thigh advertisement", Shen Yun originally thought that the place where he settled this time might not be a top-level green building like the Imperial Capital, but it should also be a place of flesh/lust, but he didn't expect it to be-

"Tu's butcher's shop?!"

Shen Yun was a little surprised.

It's really a skin and meat place~~ because this is a meat shop~~

Shen Yunzhen wanted to turn around and ask Yan Ruyu, but saw Yan Ruyu stepping forward quickly from behind, directly pushing open the door and walking inside, saying as he walked: "What's so strange, is it only allowed for women to sell meat here?!" ”

Well, it must be admitted that Shen Yun will never be able to keep up with the thinking of the Yulin Secret Guard, or in other words, he will never be able to keep up with Tu Tianjiao's thinking.

is obviously a delicate woman, but she chooses to be in the butcher shop~~ or Tu's butcher shop??

Shen Yun suddenly thought, could this Tu's butcher shop really be opened by Tu Tianjiao's family?

Entering the gate, a yellowish lantern shadowed everything inside. The courtyard of an ordinary family, without a shadow wall, indicates the civilian status of the family, and there are two courtyards on the left and right, which is quite spacious. There is only one bedroom and a hall inside.

The courtyard is not big, there are knives for killing under the porch to hang, there is a bit of horror film on the yellowing light, the courtyard is paved with mottled bluestone slabs, no flowers and plants are planted, and the bluestone slabs glow with purple and black luster under the lights. For those who have died on the battlefield, they can smell the strong smell of blood that has been washed away, and those purple-black colors are the color of blood that cannot be washed away.

If it weren't for the fact that there was already a Tu Tianjiao wearing a hat to cover his face standing in the courtyard, and a middle-aged man rubbing his hands and his face full of vicissitudes, Shen Yun would have wondered if he had come to the wrong place.

"Two into six rooms, find your own room to live in. Yuanrang, Tranquil, Painted Bamboo, and Ruyu come with me. Tu Tianjiao turned back into a stiff and hoarse male voice, and walked directly to the hall after speaking.

The crowd was also a habitual soldier, so they didn't say anything at the moment and dispersed quickly.

Shen Yun and the four of them immediately followed.

When he stepped into the hall, Shen Yun glanced back, the sky seemed to light up, and a rooster crow suddenly sounded in the neighborhood.

The door was closed, and the middle-aged man with a face full of vicissitudes of life clenched his fists and said to Tu Tianjiao: "At home, the rooster crows at dawn, will the subordinates continue to run the butcher shop or wait here for instructions?" ”

Tu Tianjiao's hat waved, and the black scarf covering her face shook and said, "Uncle Qi, will you arouse the suspicion of others if you don't appear today?" ”

The middle-aged man named Uncle Qi said: "I suspect that it will not be, my subordinates received a notice from the family three days ago, and they knew that something big must have happened, so they had already slaughtered the meat to be sold in advance and put it in the façade of the opposite door to sell, and there were two guys to take care of it." This courtyard is just a place for slaughter, and those guys won't come over. I'll be safe to go around in a minute. ”

Tu Tianjiao said: "Well, Uncle Ji bothered more, don't let people know that there are living people here, although the hook fence has always been mixed with dragons and snakes, and a few more of us will not be eye-catching, but now is a very moment, it is always good to pay more attention." ”

"That's what the family says." The middle-aged man named Uncle Qi smiled innocently, and couldn't help rubbing his hands together.

This scene made Shen Yun feel a little weird. The one called Uncle Ji is called Tu Tianjiao "Jiashang", claiming to be a subordinate, which is obviously a title used by the slaves of his hometown. But looking at the vicissitudes of life and demeanor, this Uncle Ji doesn't look like a person in the secret guard. On the way here, Shen Yun specially observed, and there were no special markers of the secret guards around.

It seemed that Shen Yun's doubts were perceived, and Tu Tianjiao did not intend to hide it, and directly introduced: "This is Tu Qi, the son of my Tu family, and he was sent to Xihai Prefecture to make a dark line long pile in my father's generation. This time the stakes are very high, and there seems to be something wrong with the secret guards inside Xihai, I issued three summoning orders in Longqing Mansion, and only one of them broke off the line of Tabai response, so I can't trust the secret guards of Dingxing Mansion, only Uncle Ji can rest assured. ”

Yan Ruyu added: "I received that Tabai in Longqing Mansion, and according to that Tabai's reply, since the Yue's rebellion, the upper line of Dingxing Mansion has not contacted him. As soon as the time he should have been in contact had passed, he left his original position according to the Dark Guard Code and instead only stayed in the position registered with the Dark Guard Headquarters until we arrived. As for what happened on the line, this step is not clear. However, the secret guards of the entire Xihai Prefecture must have been hit, absolutely. ”

Shen Yun nodded. He is also half of the Dark Guard, and he is relatively clear about the situation of the Dark Guard. This secret guard is like a spy, meticulous. Treading white is only the lowest type of personnel in the dark guard system, mainly responsible for spying on news, each system, and even each stepping white is a one-line connection, there is no intersection with each other, so sometimes many secret guards don't know the existence of other secret guards, there were two husbands and wives who got along for forty or fifty years, until the final retirement did they learn that both of them were secret guards stepping on the white strange thing.

So this time, it should be that the entire secret guard system in Xihai Prefecture has been paralyzed, and this step is vigilant, and he left the identity location arranged by the upline in time, and changed to a place that was to be reported to the Imperial Capital Secret Guard Headquarters, without giving the Xihai Prefecture Secret Guard upline to know.

As for the dark line long pile, Shen Yun can also understand that it should be a deeper spy who is different from the dark guard. It's the kind of chess piece that has been dormant for a long time, and sometimes it may have to lie dormant for a lifetime without activation.

However, then again, how many secret guards are there in the entire Xihai Prefecture?

Shen Yun directly threw out this question, but the answer he received was a little surprised. He didn't expect Tu Tianjiao to give him such a thorough and clear answer.

"Xihai Prefecture actually doesn't have many secret guards, including the major of the secret guard, there are only two hundred and sixteen people in total, including seventeen Xuanfeng and one hundred and twenty Tabai, and most of the other official schools also serve as the head of the secret guard. As for the long-term dark pile, in addition to Uncle Qi, there is another person, but I don't plan to wake up this person for the time being. ”

Shen Yun took a deep breath, he understood that Tu Tianjiao told him the answer in such detail, in addition to trusting him, what was more important was that she also understood the severity of the current situation.

Shen Yun nodded, held his chin and thought for a while, and said, "In this case, our previous plan can be partially implemented first. Ruyu, you go to identify the identities of the other Xuan Feng Tabai, remember to be careful. Uncle Ji, you go and arrange it, so that Brother Huazhu can meet the prince of Xihai as soon as possible. I'll immediately arrange for Bai Xiaosheng to make it, cough ...... That thing~~"

Shen Yun almost said the "holy decree" smoothly.

Tu Qi glanced at Shen Yun strangely, although he knew that he was the Marquis of Bohai of the Great Han Dynasty, he didn't expect Shen Yun to be able to directly start giving orders.

However, Tu Tianjiao said that she had no opinion, and immediately said: "Uncle Qi, just do what Bohai Hou said." Also, is what I asked you to prepare ready? ”

Tu Qi nodded heavily: "It's ready, it's just that the dragon pattern silk cloth is more difficult to find, and I only bought the Xiao family's dragon pattern silk cloth." ”

"Dragon?" Shen Yun frowned, but he didn't say anything that couldn't be used.

In addition to making the Han Dynasty flag and the corner flag of the border crossing, the dragon pattern silk cloth is allowed to be owned by the people privately, which is indeed difficult to get, and the purchase needs to be registered. As for the evil spirits used to ward off evil dragons, many silk villages will survive. Although the two dragons have completely different styles, if you look at them from a distance, it is really difficult to distinguish them at once without looking closely.

"Okay, let's go our separate ways. Meet here in two hours. Shen Yun immediately got up and went to find Bai Xiaosheng.

The rest of the crowd also took action.

When I opened the door, a ray of sunlight was shining right on the floor. Shen Yun looked up, and the winter sun, which was not yet completely hot, was still tepid in the east.

I wonder if this will be the last quiet morning in Dingxing Province?!

Suddenly, his forehead was cold.

Shen Yun stretched out his hand and touched it, but it was a snowflake~~

It's snowing!

On the morning when the sun was shining, it was snowing on this day?!

This is the first snow of the year, and the snowflakes are scattered and not dense enough, and it is expected to dissipate as the sun gets stronger, but it is indeed snowing.

"This ghost weather, it's really evil, you can still have snowflakes when the sun is big~~" Uncle Ji muttered and walked past Shen Yun's side.

"Yes, it's really evil~~" Shen Yun also sighed. (To be continued.) )
