Chapter 655: Prison
After getting off the bus from the car park in the western suburbs of the imperial capital and strolling through the imperial capital again, Yan Liqiang clearly felt the depressed and oppressive atmosphere in the imperial capital......
The most obvious is that there are fewer people in the city, fewer cars and horses, in the past, there were few pedestrians on the bustling streets, and the carriages and horses were sparse......
There is snow on the ground, the north wind hangs in the city, the bleak atmosphere along the street makes the air a little colder inexplicably, and the doors of the shops and restaurants along the street have put down thick curtains, and the reason for the lack of people is of course not because of the weather, but the dignitaries and wealthy families who gathered in the city before, almost all of them have left.
The doors of many mansion compounds on the street are tightly locked, and some of the high-end restaurants and venues that were popular before are closed, and some are cold, but some of the low-grade restaurants and teahouses are still in the cold......
Yan Liqiang walked while looking at the current scene of the imperial capital, and his mood was also low to freezing, many wealthy and dignitaries have fled from here, only ordinary people are still here, the court doesn't know what to do, do you really want to let these people wait here to die!
Yan Liqiang walked and walked, and a few catchers came to him, and saw Yan Liqiang wearing a hat on the street alone, and after those catchers passed by Yan Liqiang, one of them stopped again, turned his head, and stopped Yan Liqiang, "Hey, wearing a hat, stop!"
Yan Liqiang stopped, turned around, and looked at the few catchers for a long time, "Is there anything wrong with the few?"
"Of course there is something, what is your name, where are you from, this cold day, what is a person wandering around the street alone?" As he spoke, the few catchers had already walked over, and the talkers looked at Yan Liqiang from head to toe with scrutinizing eyes, especially on the long sword hanging on Yan Liqiang's waist, and asked in a babbling voice.
Yan Liqiang raised his eyes and glanced at the catcher, and didn't speak, but just took out an identity token from his body when he was on an errand in the deer park, shook it in front of the eyes of those few catchers, and saw Yan Liqiang's press token, and several catchers all changed their faces, and hurriedly smiled and apologized to Yan Liqiang, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the emperor capital is not very safe these days, and we are also ordered to strictly investigate the suspicious people who entered the emperor's capital, and it's gone, it's gone, it's the water that washed the Dragon King Temple......"
"It's okay, we're all doing things for the above, can I go......" Yan Liqiang put away the token and said calmly, he wouldn't be able to play any prestige in front of a few catchers for this little thing.
"My lord, please please, my lord, please ......" called Yan Liqiang's fast waist almost bent to the ground, Yan Liqiang's token in front of the Ma Bu Division scared him enough, and now in the Imperial Capital City, the sergeant of the Ma Bu Division in front of the Emperor can almost walk sideways, not to mention the officers inside, Lu Yuan, that is the force directly under Gonggong Liu by His Majesty's side, and he dare not provoke.
Yan Liqiang walked and walked, and he arrived near Chunxifang in Dijing City, near this Chunxifang is a commercial street, and the people who live near this Chunxifang are also poor ordinary people, when Yan Liqiang came here, Chunxifang still has a lot of popularity, especially in this cold day, there are many people with pockets gathered outside the grain store, it is cold outside, those people gathered outside while surrounding, while shouting, a noise came from the grain store......
"Shopkeeper He, why has the price of grain risen again, when I came a few days ago, this catty of rice was only 13 copper plates, and today it has risen to 15 copper plates, this is a robbery ......"
"That's right, the price of this grain has risen too fast, and it doesn't let people live......"
"Neighbors, old and young masters, the price of this grain is not that I want to rise, it is the price of the purchase that has risen, I can only follow the rise, the heavy snow has closed the road in the past few days, I heard that the road into Beijing is a little difficult to walk, so the purchase price of grain has risen by two copper plates in the past two days, I don't follow the rise My store will be closed, I think the rice and noodles here are expensive, you can go to other grain stores to see if there is anything cheaper than this......"
"Shopkeeper He, it's not authentic for you to say that, can't you make less ......?"
"My family also has to eat, don't make some money, how can I live, the grain of many grain stores in this imperial capital has been sold to 16 17 copper plates a catty, those people buy two copper plates, they sell to add three copper plates and four copper plates, I also look at everyone's neighbors for decades, only add the money that has increased the purchase price, and make a lot of profits, I don't think the grain is enough to eat, or buy a little sorghum millet plus, this sorghum and millet are also full ......"
Listening to the noise in the grain store, Yan Liqiang bypassed the grain store, directly entered the alley next to him, walked zigzag for a while, and came to the door of a family, before Yan Liqiang knocked on the door, the door of the house was opened, and then three or four colorful gift boxes and cloths were thrown out of it, and then a woman in her fifties and sixties who was still wearing a red dress was pushed out of it by a teenager.
"Get out, don't step into our house again......" the young man yelled at the old woman, still holding a wooden stick in his hand.
"Hey, hey, how can you Xu family people be like this, Master Zhu has taken a fancy to your sister, that's your sister's blessing, follow Master Zhu, don't worry about eating, don't worrying about clothes, what's not satisfied, and Master Zhu's family has already got the road guide, and if you marry Master Zhu, you can leave the imperial capital and go to Master Zhu's hometown to enjoy happiness......" The woman who was kicked out chattered endlessly while returning.
"You don't have to worry about my family...... the boy roared with a red face.
"Do you still think that your Xu family can be like before, your eldest brother has been arrested, and he is so crazy, if no one takes care of him, see if you two brothers and sisters can survive for a few months, don't be ignorant, now your sister is married to Master Zhu at least has the status of a concubine, if you can't live in the future and are sold into the Qinglou, then the hard days are still to come......"
"What are you talking about......", the young man raised the wooden stick in his hand high and smashed it against the door wall, the sharp-mouthed matchmaker screamed in fright, hurriedly took a few steps back, picked up a few gift boxes that were thrown on the snow outside in a panic, and walked quickly while scolding......
This is Xu Enda's home, and the young man is Xu Enda's younger brother Xu Enci, whom Yan Liqiang has seen before.
Looking at the matchmaker who walked away, Xu Enci held a wooden stick and gasped at the door of the house, until Yan Liqiang came over, took off his hat and called his name, Xu Enci turned his head suddenly, and then Xu Enci's eyes widened suddenly......
"Brother Liqiang......" The moment he saw Yan Liqiang's face, Xu Enci was slightly stunned, his eyes were overflowing with tears, and he threw away the wooden stick in his hand and rushed down, hugged Yan Liqiang and cried loudly, "My brother, little fifth brother, they were all arrested, my brother also told us before he was arrested, Brother Liqiang, you will definitely come back, Brother Liqiang, you have the ability, you must think of a way to rescue my brother and the little fifth brother......"
Looking at the young man who was crying sadly while hugging himself, Yan Liqiang's nose was also a little sour, and he patted Xu Enci's shoulder, "Don't cry, don't worry, I will return to Dijing City this time, and I will definitely be able to rescue your eldest brother and Xiaowu, go, let's go in first, I still have something to ask you......
