Chapter 469: The Dark Shadow of Jianye City (2)

The so-called long if there is a book, and short if there is no book, after this competition, Jiang Ling returned to the identity of a miscellaneous man in the piano shop, as for practicing Tai Chi Arhat in the morning, practicing the piano during the day, and interacting passionately with Shi Yi at night... Of course, at present, this only refers to fighting, and these things are daily trivialities, and there is no need to repeat them.

Fang Xinyuan said that he was expected to take his son abroad in a month, and as long as Jiang Ling did not die violently at that time, the piano shop would be temporarily taken over by him. Shi Yi didn't bring any new information, but just urged Jiang Ling to play seriously every day, and reminded him that four of the top ten in the standings this time were Chinese compatriots, if he didn't work hard, it would be difficult for her to help Jiang Ling get some benefits from the leader in the future, Jiang Ling had to agree with a wry smile.

This time it was a normal five-day offseason, and as soon as the five days passed, it was time for the next game.

Jiang Ling stepped into the cabin, and his consciousness entered the world of data.

......

In addition to practicing, Jiang Ling and Huang Lie inquired about the history and culture of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and learned that this is a country that is not much different from the Jin Dynasty in ancient China. The second is the prevalence of poetry and poetry, as well as some clothing, decoration, architectural styles or other aesthetic cultures, which often form a trend. Of course, catching up with the trend is the business of the aristocracy, and the common class can only work hard, but some values will be affected to a certain extent.

The same is the four major empires of the Xuanwu Continent, the historical length of the Southern Jin Dynasty is almost the same as that of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qin, because of the feudal social system that attaches great importance to birth and wants to be an official can basically only rely on the internal personnel, so after so many years, there have been generations of officials, clan forces in the government and the opposition to blossom and bear fruit. So far, eighty percent of the officialdom of the Southern Jin Dynasty are from the seven great scholars.

These scholars have been officials for generations, and they have sent a large number of talents to the imperial court, and they must have mixed in a lot of mediocre talents who are vegetarians, but in any case, these great scholars have a pivotal position in the Southern Jin Dynasty, and it can even be said that people with other surnames, if they want to make a living in the officialdom, they must hug one of these seven thighs.

Of course, for thousands of years, the Southern Jin Dynasty was not the only one with these seven clans, and there had been major or small rebellions, but in the end they were steadily suppressed by the Xiahou clan, the royal family, and many surnames were removed, and these seven clans proved their position in these rebellions to be loyal to the royal family - at least for now.

These scholar families have a profound heritage, and in this world of cultivation, without outstanding strength, no matter how big the family business is, it will not be able to keep it, so within these scholar clans, there are also a large number of cultivators with superior strength, or clan relatives, or worshiped disciples. Even like the Jing family and the Chu family, they still have their own sects. On the one hand, the temple is high, and on the other hand, it can be far away from the rivers and lakes, and I have to admire these families for really blooming.

Because although Huang Lie's sect is in the Chushan faction, after all, he didn't really say how long he had stayed in the Southern Jin Dynasty, and he could only know some basic information that everyone knew, Jiang Ling knew that although this information might not be used, but after all, he had never been to the Southern Jin Dynasty, so it was better to know more.

......

The bizarre scene flickered, and when the line of sight was clear, Jiang Ling had already come to an uninhabited alley.

"This smell must not be the aristocratic district." Jiang Ling glanced at the corner of the wall, and the smell of excrement had been "three points into the bricks", presumably this treasure land had been equated with the public toilet. In the living area of low-quality people, it is not surprising to see such a dead end, and even if the quality of people in the aristocratic area is not high, they will not do such a thing as "open defecation" out of face.

Jiang Ling walked out of this smelly dead end, glanced left and right, and there was no main quest triggered.

"It's another individual battle, and the mission is not triggered, so I have to think about it again." Jiang Ling muttered to himself.

Judging from the battlefield preview, there is no doubt that the location of the event is in the noble street, and the battlefield information clearly indicates that its location is on the south side of the palace, even if people who have not read the battlefield preview, they will not become headless flies.

"'A key criminal who escaped from the palace'?" Jiang Ling pondered this sentence, and said secretly in his heart: "How can the criminal be locked up in the palace if he doesn't stay in the dungeon?" Could it be that the people of the royal family need to be interrogated by the emperor himself? And the Divine Court is also cooperating to hunt down this person, where does this person come from? ”

The Divine Court assists the royal family in hunting down the criminals? It is unlikely, firstly, the royal family wants to summon the Divine Court, and secondly, from the perspective of the battlefield, it is obvious that the Divine Court cares more about this prisoner.

It stands to reason that the only people who can hunt down the gods are the traitors who can hunt down the gods at the moment, so... This man is both a royal and a traitor?

Hypothetically, and now that he has slipped into the mansion of a certain scholar, and the scholar has concealed his whereabouts from the chief chanting deacon of the Divine Court, is it at the behest of the royal family, or is a certain scholar clan a family of traitors at all?

Jiang Ling thought as he kept walking, and after simply identifying the direction, he had already determined that he was in a civilian area in the south of the city, because there were too many two- and three-story buildings, there was no palace in his field of vision, but it was right to go north.

On the road, I met some pedestrians, all of whom were coarse cloth clothes, some with patches, and even saw a young man wearing straw sandals carrying goods, who looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a yellow face and thin muscles, carrying a rice bag, and his head was full of sweat.

No matter how prosperous the feudal society is, it is also a feudal society, Jiang Ling couldn't help but sigh.

After walking along the road for five or six minutes, there was still no shadow of the palace, but the streets were a little lively, and many shops on both sides put their goods outside to sell, including those selling cakes, cloth, calligraphy and paintings, etc., like a bazaar.

Jiang Ling was about to find a shop to inquire about the location of the palace, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and looked at it, and four cavalrymen in armor came to the north.

Jiang Ling hesitated for a moment and dodged into a shop with a half-open door next to him.

"Guest?" A soft voice rang out.

Jiang Ling glanced through the crack in the door, then turned his head to look at the counter and a woman on the side of the counter.

The woman was about thirty years old, with a light makeup on her face, her appearance was middle-upper, and her figure was peugeot, and she was looking at Jiang Ling with a little curiosity. swept by telekinesis, without any energy fluctuations, he was an ordinary person.

And glancing at the counter, Jiang Ling was a little embarrassed, and he didn't pay attention when he came in, only to see that this was a shop that sold rouge gouache.

"Uh... Show my lady the cosmetics. Jiang Ling said nonsense and looked at it decently.

"Cosmetics?" The charm is still there

Banniang was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It's the first time I've heard of this word." ”

"I haven't bought much either." Jiang Ling scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Seeing that the New Year is approaching, this is to choose a gift for his wife, the guest officer is really a caring person." The proprietress still knows how to do business, and one sentence resolved Jiang Ling's embarrassment, and at the same time, she also held a hand to make Jiang Ling embarrassed not to buy it.

"Just help me choose an affordable one." Jiang Ling said with a smile.

"Okay." The proprietress turned around and picked out two small round boxes.

The sound of horses' hooves passing by the door, mixed with a few panicked shouts of passers-by, Jiang Ling turned his head and glanced at it, and then said: "Originally, such a narrow street, I still have to ride a horse." ”

Jiang Ling said this naturally so that the proprietress could answer the call, so as to see if she could get some useful information.

The proprietress looked up at the window without expectations, and said: "I heard that there is a bit of chaos in the palace, it seems that some prisoners have escaped, and the city guards have stepped up patrols, but just now those few people don't look like city guards, and it is estimated that the children of which family came out to join in the fun." ”

"Pretending to catch a thief is actually playing prestige." Jiang Ling pretended to have an expression of envy, jealousy and hatred.

The proprietress sighed lightly and said flatly: "People who are rich and powerful love to toss blindly." Oh, guest officer, look at these two boxes of rouge, they are both medium and high-quality, and the price is not high. ”

Jiang Ling picked up a small blue-green round box, opened it and smelled it pretendedly, and asked casually: "I don't know what kind of prisoner ran away, making a big fuss." ”

The proprietress glanced at Jiang Ling noticed, Jiang Ling sensed something, but pretended not to see it, and picked up another box of rouge.

The proprietress kept a smile and said: "We don't know each other, but I don't think there's any need to worry, these children of the family who are messing around have some ability, and there are also city guards, even if the city guards can't solve it, those people won't be able to solve it." ”

"Huh? Who are you talking about? Jiang Ling asked curiously.

"Don't you know how many people came in the morning?" The hostess asked.

Jiang Ling's face did not change, and said: "I can't hide it, I just came back from other places and haven't arrived home yet." ”

The proprietress froze slightly for a moment, and was keenly captured by Jiang Ling, and she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, knowing that there must be something wrong with her lie. But the proprietress didn't mean to break it, and said gently: "What do you think of these two boxes of rouge?" ”

Jiang Ling glanced at the proprietress and then said with a smile: "Believe in your vision, I'll buy them all." ”

"Thank you, guest." The proprietress smiled happily and said, "As for you asking who came in the morning, although I didn't see it, I heard rumors from them that our emperor invited the gods of the divine court to be guests." Someone saw it at the north gate, and those divine courts were all flying through the clouds, which was amazing. You said that with them, what other thieves could escape. Now, these two boxes of rouge, I will charge you two silver coins. ”

Jiang Ling took the rouge from the proprietress and took out two silver coins and put them on the counter.

Jiang Ling didn't leave immediately, but glanced at the proprietress instead.

The proprietress put away the two silver coins, and also looked at Jiang Ling, as if she sensed what Jiang Ling was thinking, and said slowly: "Don't worry, guest officer, I am a widow with no children and no daughters, and I will not tell anyone that I have seen you." ”

Jiang Ling tapped his fingers on the counter and said, "What's wrong with what I said?" ”

The proprietress hesitated for a moment, but still said: "The emperor invited those immortals to be guests, naturally he was extremely careful, and since last night, the city gate has been closed and it is forbidden to enter and exit. ”

Jiang Ling couldn't help laughing and said, "Then you still dare to make my money?" Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person who wants your life? ”

"My life is worthless." The proprietress smiled gently, and said with light in her eyes: "You don't look like a bad person." ”
