On the eighth day of March in the spring of the tenth year of Shenlong, it is suitable for travel, wealth and trading.

Wang Jiangnan was woken up by the sound of drums, which was quite kind to Wang Jiangnan, who was used to listening to the drums of Chang'an Morning and Dusk Street, but it was a little early at this hour.

The three little ladies freshened up and came to the living room, the two of them were talking and laughing with the two Taoist chiefs, Zheng Shisan's shopkeeper and Xiao Wu's waiter were making breakfast, and Zheng Er's shopkeeper didn't know where to go.

"This drum beat is very different from the street drum in Chang'an, the time and number are not compatible?" Zhongli Zhenren is still slandering.

"This is not a street drum, this is a drum for the opening of the temple street yamen," Xiao Wu explained.

"Isn't it the opening of the Wan Chamber of Commerce today? The Miaojie County Government also opened a court to ask about the case? Wang Jiangnan was puzzled.

"In addition to opening the court to ask questions, there is also a ceremony to sacrifice the water god today."

"Then we have to hurry up, the stars are really the same, and I didn't talk about these fun things yesterday"

"The three little ladies should eat slowly, and we will go after the ceremony," Xiao Wu smiled bitterly.

"Why? We're going to see how Temple Street worships the god of water? ”

"The three little ladies should not go to see it," Dugu Dadu Hu said.

"Why?"

"This..." Xiao Wu was embarrassed.

"It's okay to go and have a look, the academy lets you come out to practice, and it's good to see some scenes," Wang Jiangnan's uncle Shan Sijing said to Daduhu.

"Okay, I'll arrange the carriage later, and I'll leave a place for you at the venue," Xiao Wu had to agree.

It was too early, everyone gathered around the two metropolitan governors and Taoist chiefs in formal clothes to go to the venue, and the guards of the Anton Dadu Protector accompanied them, as for Dugu Shen was taken away by the demon wolf Tianxing yesterday, the two Dadu Protectors smiled secretly, Tianxing warmly arranged for the two Taoist chiefs to stay and eat in the backyard of the Zheng family business house yesterday, which was a free bodyguard for the two of them.

When everyone came to the venue, the venue was already crowded with people, busy traffic, flags flying, and drum music was noisy. There are only some Wuhou at the scene to maintain order, the long red rope pulled up at the door of the venue yesterday to isolate the crowd, so that the entrance team is long but orderly, the scene is only seen yesterday Xiucai Wen Yufeng, the wolf group and others have not yet arrived, Xiaowen beckoned everyone to go to the pergola on the side of the subjective platform to rest.

The sky is still early, the sun has just risen, the lazy spring sunshine is particularly comfortable, the sparkling waves on the sea surface, like a dream under the reflection of the sun, the morning glow is like a brocade, the red clouds are like silk, everyone looks refreshed.

There are four more watchtowers on the shore, built of rough wood, with a large number of people on them, and there are two stone forts at the corners where the river and the sea meet, and they are also full of flags.

The tents of the venue are already crowded, all kinds of people greet each other, the voices of people are boiling, each tent has a number of benches, and they are almost sitting, there are five people from the Merchants Bank waiting in each tent, beckoning the guests to sit down, and the people who hang up under the eaves are busy and happy.

There are also two long pavilions on both sides of the subjective ceremonial platform, each with five sets of tables and chairs, at this time there is also a seven-seven-eighty-eight, two big guards and two Taoist chiefs, the three princesses and three little ladies are exactly at the same table, Ximen Lang will stand and wait, the old guard Qiu Bo of Dugu Dadu is squatting at the root of the platform and dozing off, Xiao Wu is busy greeting acquaintances, and Zheng Shisan's shopkeeper also has a place to go.

The two Dadu Hus sat down, and people kept coming to salute, not to mention Zhao Sicheng, the governor of Heishui, Pei Xuangui, the deputy protector of Anton, Xue Jian, the ambassador of Lu Longjun, the youngest son of Xue Chuyu, the imperial god knight, and the long history of Heishui, Sima of the Bohai Governor's Mansion, the army of the Songmo Governor's Mansion, Qu Tuqing, the head of the Hebei Provincial Samurai Association, the judge of Hebei Province and other subordinate officials came to ask for instructions.

On the other side, these are the wealthy merchants from all over the world, headed by Feng Tang, the tiger shark, the head of the Liuqiu Ghost Country, the prince of the Ghost Country, Yu Zhi, the tribal patriarch of the Yaksha, the Japanese envoy to the Tang Dynasty, Abe, the Japanese envoy to the Tang Dynasty, the representative Li Yitang sent by the great magician Pu Xingtang of Goryeo, the two disciples of the great shaman Shahatu of the Turkic Khanate, the Goryeo merchant Pu Yishi, the Yingzhou tycoon Hu Yin, the merchant Alu Mo from Japan, the Liaodong shipper Zhou Xin, the shopkeeper of the Fanyang Lu family, the shopkeeper of the Fanyang Lu family, Zhang Degui, the second shopkeeper of Wanhualou, and the great tycoon Jin Yixian of Liaodong, In fact, it is the Kyoto Yuwen Ji silk Zhuang Yuwenwu of the plum blossom order of Lijingmen, and there are some people in Longxi, Longyou, the capital of Hedong, Wang Jiangnan has seen two familiar but unknown Kyoto business house shopkeepers, and Sima Chengzhen also found that there are Jiangnan Dajia in the meantime.

The business house enshrines the merchant ownerless and the big shopkeeper ingots, and the atmosphere is harmonious.

After a cup of tea, Wang Jiangnan was impatient, and he couldn't find Xiao Wu to ask, so he was very depressed.

Suddenly, I heard the horn sound in the direction of Temple Street, a group of people and horses with flags, black helmets and black armor, people like wind and horses like dragons, a moment forward arrived at the side of the venue, did not dismount, divided into two columns, lined up to the ancient castle where the river and the sea meet, the three little ladies who led the way also knew that it was the Black Sea Black Team that made Ximen Lang suffer a loss, and at this moment was the head of the flag officer of nearly a thousand black armored cavalry.

Behind the black-armored cavalry is a team of knights in fresh armor, starting with the current Temple Street Zhichong Duwei Dugu Xinci, the word Tianxing Demon Wolf, and now he is also wearing bright light armor, wearing a scarlet coat, and his handsome face is vaguely visible under the banner. The left hand is the white wolf Yelu Zhao I saw yesterday, and a general in the right hand is also dressed in Mingguang armor, tall and handsome, and the instrument is Xuanang, and the single deputy is mostly protected to introduce that is the golden wolf Jin Yifeng, followed by the black wolf Zhao Yong with black armor and black yarn, and there is a rough man who is the crazy wolf war maniac, and there are two old and young Tsing Yi Xiushi, one is the Miaojie County Lingjun Lu Jun Fengwu, and the other is the purple wolf Quanyu magician.

The rest of the many soldiers of the Wolf Regiment Temple Street flocked to him, followed by the thirteen elders of the Far East, all of whom were in close proximity, all of them were freshly dressed and robed, with neat appearances, shiny beards, and bright hats.

This team of people and horses did not stop at the venue, and went straight to the shore castle, followed by a long train of horses, the leader was the red wolf Leng Xuan, and the car behind was tied with many prisoners indiscriminately, white clothes and white pants, and the back was slashed, Wang Jiangnan was very surprised, could it be that this temple street worships the gods with living people?

Seeing the arrival of the convoy carrying the prisoners, the scene immediately cooled down, everyone had never seen murder, one by one the carriages and horses passed by the venue, everyone was excited at first, then numb, and then began to be shocked, which is indeed too much.

"Why are there so many prisoners?" Zhongli Zhenren couldn't help frowning.

"Last year, there were more," Xiao Wu, who came back to serve after finishing the following things, replied, "There were only eight hundred this year, and there were three thousand six hundred and eighty-eight last year." ”

The three little ladies shuddered, killing more than 3,000 people at once, what kind of scene was that? Will it be a river of blood?

"It's not that troublesome, last year it was dragged to the sea, tied to a stone and thrown into the water, and this year it was shelled."

"Bombardment?" Everyone was stunned, and Xiao Wu smiled silently.

As he was talking, the head of the vehicle arrived at the shore, and the red-clothed team began to pull people down, and a row of wooden posts was inserted on the seashore, each prisoner was blindfolded, and a group of five was tied around the wooden pillar, and the prisoners who were in a commotion were immediately knocked out by the scabbard.

In a moment, the beach was densely packed with prisoners, the castle on the horn came with the sound of whining horns, the red-clothed team on the beach retreated, Leng Xuan stood under the fortress and shouted, eight hundred and one death row prisoners have completed their medical examinations.

The sound was so loud that the whole audience echoed, Wang Jiangnan estimated that there were more than 100,000 people present today, from this venue to the Heishui Wharf where he went yesterday, it was densely packed with people, and the number of eight hundred and one was heard at this time.

A cold voice came out from above, "Let's start", it was the Demon Wolf Celestial Star.

I only heard three loud bangs, coming from the beacon tower on the ancient castle, and I saw the paper money rising in the sky.

Above the stars hissed and shouted"

The water of the east is murmuring, and the long stream is full of oceans.

Zhiling Palace is on top, Zhenhai Yue Xi Yao Altar.

Colorful feathers, fragrant.

The sea does not raise the waves, and the boat is swept away.

The great benefit is extremely reckless, and I am worry-free.

Look at the white clouds in the sky, and take the colorful luan.

Offering Qiong Xi style singing and dancing, as the god of the town for a thousand years. ”

Then the eighteen trumpets sounded in unison, and the whimpering was deep and long, and all the people stood up and bowed to the water.

After the kung fu ceremony of a cup of tea, the scene was silent, and I heard Tianxing drink "Yongzhen Qianqiu, the gods of Haihe River please receive gifts" and the wolf group below shouted "Yongzhen Qianqiu, Haihe gods please receive gifts" and so on three times, and the sound spread to the four fields.

Then three loud noises were heard, and the green smoke rose from the fort, and then three fires flashed from the place where the death row prisoners were placed, and a deep black pit appeared on the beach, and a pile of death row prisoners had no bones.

After a while, there were three loud bangs, and there was a firework on the beach, and so on, a total of six times and eighteen sounds, and the 100,000 soldiers and civilians on the shore were silent, stunned.

Obviously, the horses of the Black Wolf Cavalry Regiment have experienced battles, although the loud noise is like thunder, they are not panicked, and occasionally a few horses are also appeased by their masters, and the rest are still standing.

The two Dadu Hu obviously saw this scene for the first time, and they were all dumbfounded, needless to say, after a moment of silence, there was a commotion on the shore, and there were not a few people crying for their fathers and mothers. At this time, I heard the wolf group everyone start to shout "woo-woo--", calm and powerful, but the voice suppressed the commotion of 100,000 people, Sima Lao Immortal and Zhong Licuo real people looked at each other, and began to recite the requiem mantra, and slowly the noise on the shore gradually subsided.

At this time, the green smoke on the beach is gone, there are several big pits, there are still burning pillars, as if the sea god has sensed, the distance is like a shadow like a mist appearing, the sun reflects like a giant turtle stepping on the waves, the golden light is hazy, the sea is actually rising, wave after wave of people high sea tide overflows the big pit and then retreats, for a long time, the big pit on the beach is restored to a flat, the sea surface is clear again, there are no clouds, the waves are not prosperous, I can't see that there are just eight hundred and one lives here just now.

The two of them looked at each other, their eyes were full of surprise, the two of them were veterans, and when they saw such a situation, they both remembered that if this thing was used to attack the city, what kind of weapon it was?

The crowd was no longer alarmed, and began to talk about it, and the noise was everywhere, and it returned to the previous situation.

The black charcoal head Black Sea led the Black Wolf Cavalry Regiment and withdrew, and Tianxing also walked into the venue with the thirteen people.

Along the way, everyone looked at these people in power in Temple Street with various eyes, and Tianxing didn't care, smiling and greeting those they knew along the way.

"The king's shopkeeper's business is good"

"Brother Li's demeanor is still the same"

"Second Brother Zhang, don't come unharmed"

When I came to the pergola of the viewing platform unhurriedly, I was greeted by a series of questions.

"Why don't you talk to me about this big scene?" This is Dugu Dadu.

"How can such a sharp weapon be shown casually?" This is a single pair of most of the guards.

"Those prisoners have all been subjected to the final trial by the Criminal Department?" This is the third princess Yanqiong.

"What kind of weapon is this? "This is Wang Jiangnan."

"I'm going to have ten of this stuff," this is Lu Long's ambassador Xue Jian.

"This kind of sharp weapon should be listed as a national secret, and it will be sent to Kyoto immediately" Nali Jingmen Plum Blossom Lang Yu Wenwu also rushed over to join in the fun.

"Stop, stop, stop" Tianxing arched his hand and shouted, "Today is the auspicious day for the opening of the Wanshang Trade Fair, these small things can be discussed later"

"Nope"

"Nope"

"Blockade immediately, I want to escort the departure on the same day"

"Okay, okay, you won't run away if you put it there," Tianxing still smiled, "Yuwen shopkeeper, I'll leave it to you, I only need one, and you can divide the rest yourself." ”

"Okay" Yu Wenwu immediately pulled out his legs and ran to the seaside fort, Shan Sijing and Duguzhen glanced at each other, and Shan Sijing immediately ordered the deputy capital to protect Pei Xuangui to follow.

"Okay, okay, the auspicious time has come, everyone is in a hurry, let's go on stage"

So the crowd ascended to the viewing platform.

The bluestone base of the viewing platform is paved with thick wooden planks, and two rows of tables and chairs are neatly arranged.

Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, Shou Wenchang Right Minister, Tongfeng Pavilion Luantai Sanpin, Right Guard General, Hebei Provincial Observation Envoy, Liaodong Prefecture Marching Chief, Andong Dadu Protector, Shangzhu State, Liaoguo Gongdugu Dadu Protector should not let the first row sit in the middle, the left hand champion general Andong Dadu Hufu Deputy Dadu Hufu Shan Sijing, the right hand is the right Weiwei Yunlu general Yanqiong Yan Junluan, and then the Heishui Governor Li Ge Li Xiancheng, Heishui Governor Sima Zhao Shu Zhao Tiancheng, Hebei Provincial Judge Sun Xin, Miaojie County Lingjun Lu Jun Fengwu, In the back row, the Grand Warlock Dugu Tianxing of the Temple Street Zhichong Mansion led by the thirteen tribe chiefs of the Temple Street, the patriarch of the Damurwei tribe, Mo Hefu, the patriarch of the western Lingxi tribe, the Absili of the Luotan tribe, Mo Han in the northern part of the mountain, Tutu Ne of the northern branch of the Nebei branch, the support of the Wuluo Protector also Hu, the Hu Dulu of the Gushuo Department, the Qicha Seymour of the Tieli Department, the Abuli Ji of the Junli Department, the Hulu of the Yulou Department, the Agu Lang of the Heishui Department, the Wulinda of the Simu Department, and the Wu'er of the Molu Ministry.

Except for the third princess and Shan Sijing, it was not the first time to attend such a scene, everyone was sitting upright, with a solemn face, the officiating official Miao Street County Lingfeng Road walked to Taichung, raised his hands to the audience first, and then began to speak. The sound of thunder is glorious, all things are heard, and the withering and resumption of production is a fate. The crowd is bustling, giving to the pregnancies, and the masses are devouring, but the spring is the Qi. The year is ugly, at the beginning of late spring, the sages are complete, and the young are salty.

Then there is a sprinkled article, the recitation of the tone of the frustration, the following understanding of the shaking of the head and listening to the fascination, what you don't understand is also unclear, this Shenlong five years of Jinshi is indeed brilliant, every word is beautiful.

Then there is a speech by Dugu Dadu, last year Dugu Metropolis a temple street spring tide words, a sentence "Haiyong silver for Guo, Jiang Hengyu waist" has spread throughout Yantang, but this year it is relatively low-key, only said that the trade fair is the blessing of the Far East, the luck of the people, the saint has also known, greatly admired, rewarded, everyone should be encouraged.

Then the single deputy of the capital guard also held back a few words, what a good year, there are many millet and many crops, there are also high houses, trillions and seeds. For the wine for the liquor, the ancestors of the Xuan. In order to negotiate a hundred gifts, blessing Kong. It was also ghostwritten yesterday by Zheng Suier, a top student of Datang College.

Then Governor Li also read a congratulatory speech from his Sima catching the knife. Originally, Dugu Tianxing was also ready to invite the third princess to give a speech, but he was refused.
