Chapter 35 A Grand Welcome
Although the road has been blocked, many people have been unable to walk, but no one has complained that the road here has been blocked. Apparently they know the reason for the road closure.
At the gate of the north city, several official sedans were parked on both sides of the road, and Cui Zhizhou of Luoyang City, his officials, large and small, were neatly dressed and lined up on both sides.
Among them were some of the city's wealthy merchants.
On the top of the city gate, there were strings of firecrackers, and several officials were holding fire folds, not looking outside the city.
"Master Cui, is Gongzi Jia really back?"
An official beside Cui Zhizhou asked in a low voice. Most of these officials who came were related to the incident of the Hongchen Inn some time ago.
"Except for the Holy One, who do you say can enjoy such treatment? Remember to speak later on human terms. If we provoke him, we will not have any good fruit to eat. ”
Cui Zhizhou glared coldly.
"Do you really want to speak human words?"
"It's okay to say a few nonsense words when necessary, but it sounds realistic. Be flexible, you know? ”
"Humble duty understood."
……
On the Luoyang Bridge, a carriage was about to cross the road and was blocked by officers and soldiers. The person in this carriage was none other than Cai Bian, who had returned from the White Horse Temple for help.
Cai Bian was very happy in his heart, and was in a hurry to return to Cai's mansion to tell Lu Hao the news, but unexpectedly, the carriage suddenly stopped and did not move for a long time.
"My lord, the road is forbidden here, and it will be allowed to pass after half an hour."
The coachman who drove the car had already inquired about the specific situation like the officers and soldiers, and reported to Cai Bian in the carriage.
"What? Forbidden Path? ”
Cai Bian in the carriage did not wrinkle, a little puzzled. Forbidden roads in the city rarely occur, and usually, only when the emperor goes out on patrol will the forbidden roads. Of course, some powerful officials may also be banned from patrolling.
Could it be that Huizong came to Luoyang City? Cai Bian in the carriage thought, it seems that he has not heard that Song Huizong is coming to Luoyang City. Moreover, even if Huizong came to Luoyang City, he was sneaky, and by the way, he pretended to be 13 hunting and soaked a few beautiful folk girls, and he would never make a big fuss. This is the consistent style of Huizong. Could it be that something big is happening this time? Huizong came to Luoyang City.
"Who's out on patrol?"
Cai Bian asked in order to confirm his conjecture.
"My lord, no one is out on patrol. It is a forbidden road in Zhizhou, in order to welcome Jia Yijia Gongzi of Xiaoyao Villa into the city. ”
This coachman is not from Cai's house, so he spoke without any position and replied truthfully.
"What? Who...... Who to greet? ”
Cai Bian Hu's body was shocked, and he rubbed his eyes with his hand, wondering if he had heard it wrong. As soon as I finished rubbing my eyes, I realized that obedience is to listen with my ears, so I quickly moved my hand to my ear and plucked out my ear.
"Your Excellency, you're a foreigner. It was Jia Yijia Gongzi of Xiaoyao Villa who was greeted by Jia Yijia, who was also the owner of the Red Dust Inn. Today, the Hongchen Inn has been newly opened, and in order to welcome Jia Gongzi into the city, Lord Zhizhou deliberately banned the road from the north gate to the Hongchen Inn. ”
The coachman elaborated.
"I ......"
Cai Bian on the carriage stumbled and almost rolled off the carriage, it was so fucking bullshit. In order to welcome a small restaurant owner, he actually banned the road. Hundreds of officials and officials came to greet them, and they were more than the emperor to take over...... What could be more absurd than that?
Cai Bian's chest was full of blood and ......
In the middle of the sound, Cai Bian calmed down the turbulent inner fluctuations. He let out a long breath and got out of the carriage. The streets were already full of people.
Many people are looking and waiting for She Yi to appear.
"My lord, wait a while, when Gongzi Jia arrives at the Hongchen Inn, the road will naturally be unsealed."
The coachman stood next to him, like everyone else, looking up and explaining to Cai Bian. The coachman and these people don't seem to have the slightest aversion to the forbidden road, on the contrary, they seem to be looking forward to She Yi's appearance.
Cai Bian's brows furrowed, and he was a little curious and puzzled in his heart, how could these city citizens tolerate such bad behavior so much, didn't they know that the forbidden roads in the city were usually only allowed when the emperor went out to patrol special events?
"Jia Gongzi is almost outside the city gate!"
I don't know who shouted, the civilians who were originally standing on both sides of the road coaxed, stood up, and crowded to both sides of the road, and several officials who maintained law and order hurriedly blocked the officers and soldiers who rushed over.
One of the vendors selling fruit in a basket didn't even care about the fruit in the basket, and immediately stood up and rushed up.
"Little second brother, your fruit!"
Cai Bian kindly reminded.
"No, no, no...... Jia Gongzi is coming! ”
The peddler said disapprerovingly, as if he could see She Yi at a glance, which was more important than his basket of fruits.
Cai Bian's mouth opened slightly, and he was speechless in shock. Imagine that they have been in Luoyang City for some time, and in order to eradicate this young man, they have worked hard.
I always thought that this young man was a local tyrant landlord in Luoyang City, but I didn't expect that the people of Luoyang City respected and supported him to such an extent, which was unbelievable.
He knocked his head lightly, still a little puzzled, this Jia Yi didn't make much contribution to Luoyang City, why did he have such a high prestige. He pinched his chin again, stroked his beard, and still couldn't figure it out, did the Hongchen Inn poison a few diners a few days ago? Where are the relatives of these people? Why don't you make trouble? Didn't the government go out?
(In fact, what Cai Bian didn't know was that although people were poisoned in the Hongchen Inn, the Hongchen Inn had also closed its doors for nearly ten days.) But it didn't affect She Yi's prestige at all. The compensation received by those victims was huge and unbelievably large. The deceased is like this, the family of the deceased has received huge compensation, and his heart will be relieved in a few days, after all, this is not She Yi's fried dish, he is just the owner of the Hongchen Inn, and the relevant chef has also been arrested. When they are balanced, they will not come out to make trouble. The wealth that She Yi has obtained from running the Red Dust Inn for two years and growing mushroom cumin is far from what he can imagine)
Just as Cai Bian was thinking about it, two loud bangs sounded from outside the north city gate, and then crackling firecrackers sounded one after another, and I don't know how many firecrackers were ignited at the same time......
"Jia Gongzi is in!"
"Jia Gongzi!"
"Jia Gongzi ......!"
Even more spectacular than the sound of firecrackers was the shouts of the citizens on both sides of the road, which were so spectacular that they were like the tide.
"Look, my lord, Mr. Jia is in!"
The coachman had an excited expression on his face, and he didn't forget to say something to Cai Bian.
Cai Bian's old face turned red, and after hesitating again and again, he couldn't resist his curiosity, wondering what kind of magical power this She Yi had, and how could he make so many city residents frantically support him.
Could it be that his demon magic has reached such a high level that it can charm the citizens of the entire Luoyang City? No wonder the senior monk in the White Horse Temple, Xuan Ming, was unwilling to help him.
In the end, although he reluctantly agreed, he also clearly told Cai Bian that he was just preventing Jia Yi, the son of the red lady, from using the "demon law...... If Jia Yi didn't use the demon magic to endanger everyone's lives, he wouldn't have made a move.
Cai Bian secretly looked around, didn't see anyone notice him, didn't see anyone recognize his identity, walked to the coachman, propped up his toes, and looked straight ahead.
In the middle of the road in front of him, a horse-drawn carriage moved slowly, this carriage was very large, it was a convertible, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy stood on the open carriage, there was a box next to him, he held the box with one hand, and waved lightly with the other hand to wave to the onlookers on both sides. This young man, he had seen it last night. It's She Yi.
Behind these two carriages, there were two carriages side by side, the curtains of these two carriages were closed and not opened, and it seemed that they should be female dependents.
Cui Zhizhou and the others' carriages followed behind the last two carriages, Cui Zhizhou did not sit in the carriage, but, standing in front of the carriage, holding the wooden frame of the carriage with one hand, and She Yi in front, he also waved to the onlookers, although the onlookers did not look at him, the smile on his face was like a flower, and the carriages of other officials, large and small, followed Cui Zhizhou's carriage, all standing in front of the carriage, not sitting inside.
"Jia Gongzi!"
"Jia Gongzi ......"
"Jia Gongzi ......!"
The cheers of the tide came and went, and it was very spectacular.
She Yi in the carriage was smiling, approachable, waving lightly, and his warm eyes made people can't help but step forward.
"Master Jia!
"Jia Gongzi ......"
Near the river, there were students from several colleges in Luoyang City, shouting very desperately, and they also held up a sign that read: Warmly welcome Jia Gongzi to the city, the people of Luoyang need you!
When She Yi saw a sign, she couldn't help but smile...... In the past two years in Luoyang City, he has occasionally made guest appearances as professors and lecturers in major colleges, and his relationship with these students is relatively harmonious. They learned from him some fashionable words in later generations, and they began to show off.
"Comrades have worked hard......"
"The chief has worked hard!"
The students of several colleges over there shouted in unison.
"Distribute wealth to comrades!"
"Thank you, Chief!"
She Yi reached into the box next to her, reached out and grabbed a handful of broken silver, and threw it at the students over there.
"Wow...... I'm starting to make a fortune......"
Onlookers cheered loudly and hugged over.
"Don't crowd ...... people"
She Yi in the carriage grabbed a handful from the box and threw it in the other direction.
"Wow......"
"Haha...... I grabbed ......"
"I got it too!"
The crowd surged, and everyone surged around, waving their arms to catch the broken silver that She Yi had sprinkled.
"Quick, my lord, it's almost here!"
The coachman next to Cai Bian was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, grabbed Cai Bian's arm and reminded Cai Bian to hurry up and catch the silver, and when he saw Cai Bian's widening eyes, he realized that he had reminded him wrongly, this Cai Bian was also an official, how could he care about this bit of broken silver, and hurriedly let go of his arm.
"I'm sorry for the adults, but the villains didn't mean to."
Cai Bian stared at his eyes and wanted to get angry, but finally held back, did not get angry, turned his head sideways, and stared at the carriage slowly passing by in front of him with a resentful gaze.
"Scatter wealth...... Everybody on! ”
She Yi in the carriage grabbed a handful of broken silver and threw it in Cai Bian's direction.
The people around rushed up in an uproar. Cai Bian's whole person was squeezed back, and it took four or five steps back to stabilize his body.
As soon as he stood firmly, there was a sudden bang on his forehead, and there was a sharp pain, as if he had been hit by something, he cried out in pain, covered his forehead, and stared angrily in the direction that hit him. What I saw was She Yi's gentle smile in the carriage.
"Little thief, you!"
Cai Bian was furious, and couldn't help but scold, the people around heard that someone dared to scold She Yi, staring at her with cold eyes, Cai Bian hurriedly closed his mouth, not daring to scold again, and the place where he was hit on his forehead grew a pebble-sized lump at a speed that his hand could feel.
The anger in Cai Bian's heart gathered, and the anger value continued to rise. Still, he's putting up with it. The hero didn't suffer the immediate loss, he went back to Cai's mansion, and after taking Lu Hao and the four eagle guards, he came to find this She Yi for revenge.
In the blink of an eye, the time of half a pillar of incense passed, She Yi's carriage team had already crossed this section of the road, this section of the road was lifted, Cai Bian returned to the carriage, the coachman reluctantly glanced at the direction of the Hongchen Inn, and drove the carriage in the direction of Cai's mansion.
Cai Bian in the carriage covered his forehead with one hand, lifted the small curtain on the side with the other, and looked at the direction of the Hongchen Inn, his eyes became colder and colder......
He strengthened his determination, he couldn't eradicate She Yi, and vowed not to leave Luoyang City!
……
At the gate of the Hongchen Inn, as soon as She Yi's carriage arrived at the door, the dense firecrackers were ignited, there were too many firecrackers, and the sound was simply deafening, like a flash flood.
Coupled with the fireworks that shot into the sky, almost everyone covered their ears, watched the firecrackers, and watched the fireworks...... Such a festive flavor surpasses the celebration of the Spring Festival Lantern Festival.
She Yi's carriage stopped at the gate and did not enter the gate until the firecrackers and fireworks were over.
The crowd in the distance stopped, not everyone can enter the door of the Red Dust Inn, and those who usually enter must have an invitation.
There are hundreds of thousands of residents in Luoyang City, and it is impossible for the Hongchen Inn to send invitations to everyone, and even if the invitations are sent, there is not such a big place to hold a banquet, so naturally most people can only stand outside and watch.
However, there is also a carriage on the side of the gate, and there are two Hongchen innkeepers standing next to the carriage, these two families are responsible for distributing red envelopes, and the red envelopes are filled with six copper plates. The people in the line had already lined up a few miles away, and there were a few officials at the back of the line to maintain order.
Most people glanced at the queue to receive the red envelopes, and did not queue up anymore, because although the number of red envelopes was three large boxes, the red envelopes contained not one or two coppers, but six copper coins. But there are too many people in line, and the people behind will definitely not be able to get their turn.
According to the notice issued by the Hongchen Inn, from afternoon to evening, there will be wonderful programs, and the stage near Xintan Lake has been set up.
It is not clearly stated whether the program performed will be singing or something else.
Everyone is full of anticipation for this show.
In this crowded crowd, several unfamiliar faces observed the surrounding situation of the Red Dust Inn from time to time, and these people were the four eagle guards under Lu Hao. (To be continued.) )
