Chapter 214: Killing Stick
When you come to the front, follow the crowd to pass through the city gate, and the first impression of Suncheonfu is that it is "antique".
Dada's horses' hooves, rhythmic shouts, artists' shouts, and onlookers' applause...... These voices come together to bring the entire ancient city to life, and walking in it is like walking into a vivid and three-dimensional 'Qingming Riverside Map'.
It didn't take long for him to walk before a lean man in his forties with two whiskers on his lips came up to him, wearing a small melon-skin hat on his head, a navy blue cloth coat, and his eyes were rolling around.
This guy came to Qin Fen, first smiled and made a gesture, and then said:
"Two masters, you are polite."
Qin Fen glanced at this person and said lightly, "What are the interesting places to go in this city?" ”
"Hey, that's too much. The sauce elbow of the drunken fairy building on East Street is the most delicious, and the master from other places has to eat a meal, the girls of Qinhuai River are the most tender, and the thin horse in Yangzhou is satisfied. There is also the Ma family opera troupe in Dongzhimen, which is a must, and the prince said it was good when he heard it! As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes, and his expression was quite obscene.
Qin Fen nodded, casually threw out one or two pieces of silver that he had touched from a pot-bellied merchant when he entered the city just now, and said:
"Lead the way ahead, pick up interesting places to go, and serve a good master, your benefits are indispensable."
"Gotcha." The old king, who took the silver bounty, smiled, revealing a mouth full of yellow and yellow teeth, and led Qin Fen and the big pillar towards the city.
After walking for a while, Qin Fen bought a handful of sweet and soft sugar-fried chestnuts on the street, and was eating them while walking, when there was a sudden commotion behind him:
"The official is handling the case, give way to the front!"
Passers-by retreated to both sides, and Qin Fen looked back curiously.
I saw two guards with knives in flying fish suits driving the way in front, behind which was a carriage, and in the cage was chained a short-haired and sturdy man, the man was draped and scattered, but his eyes were very calm, faintly with a bit of mockery and disdain.
At the same time, Qin Fen's pupils shrank slightly, and his gaze fell on the man's right wrist. There's a flower, an orchid with a faint blue glow! This man is an adventurer!
For a while, countless complicated thoughts appeared in his mind, and after the prisoner car passed, Qin Fencai took a deep breath and asked the old Wang Tou who was watching with relish beside him:
"Who was that guy just now? What did you commit? ”
The old king spat at the mouth and said:
"Hey, that guy should be a barbarian from a small overseas country, he doesn't know etiquette, he doesn't know how to educate, he had a meal in Dengxian Tower, but he didn't have the money to pay the bill, and when he was arrested by his guys, he hurt people instead, so he attracted the official to arrest him, and he deserved it!"
Qin Fen sighed, pretending to be curious and said:
"Dengxian Tower? The name is quite domineering. ”
Lao Wangtou, a person who walks through the streets and alleys, is most familiar with the short and gossip of the parents, and he said proudly when he heard it:
"This master doesn't know, Dengxian Tower is the tallest building in our Shuntian Mansion, there is everything to eat, drink and have fun, climb the tower at night, and even pick the stars with one hand! It's just that most of the people who come in and out are rich merchants, talented and beautiful people, and ordinary people can have a meal on the first floor at most. ”
"The landlord Ge Qianhu is the richest man in Shuntianfu, and his family has thousands of acres of fertile land. Even Lord Fu Yin needs to be courteous. ”
said with a smile on his face, and said in a lewd voice:
"I heard that Ge Qianhu married thirteen aunts, all of them are beautiful and beautiful, and I was lucky enough to see the eldest lady's face, it was really like an immortal, wonderful and wonderful......"
Qin Fen said a few sentences, and pulled the topic back without a trace, and said:
"I have heard the name of Dengxian Tower, but I didn't have a chance to see it, this time, when I climbed high to admire the moon, it was worth the trip."
The old king nodded and said:
"Lord is really lucky, this Dengxian Building is generally only open to ordinary people on the first floor, and the high-rise is not able to go up even if you are rich. However, two days later is the day of Ge Qianhu's thirtieth birthday, and it is said that Ge Qianhu plans to hold a banquet of ten thousand immortals in Dengxian Tower, as long as he can get an invitation, he can go on the board. ”
"Oh, and how do I get this invitation?"
"If you are a celebrity or a local official who has learned all over the world, you can naturally get one, and the businessmen and giants who have business dealings with Ge Qianhu can also go upstairs. As for the others, they must come up with a large gift money before they have the opportunity to enter the building for the banquet. ”
This main task two is really not so simple to complete, Qin Fen nodded, and said: "The master came out to play this time, but he didn't bring much money with him, I don't know if I can get an invitation...... How much do you have to get the key money? ”
The old king stretched out his right hand and made two gestures repeatedly: "At least one hundred taels." ”
Qin Fen: "......"
In addition to hunting in the wild to catch meat such as birds and animals, even in the city, there is only meat to eat on the first and fifteenth days of the new year. Qin Fenfang just asked for a pound of fried chestnuts with sugar, but it was only ten cents. One thousand wen is consistent, that is, one or two pieces of silver, converted into Grandpa Mao, the purchasing power is about 300,000...... Sure enough, it is an era with a huge gap between the rich and the poor, the rich sing in the wine pond and meat forest every night, and the poor have no place to stand. Think about it this way, it's better to live a modern life.
Qin Fen thought for a moment and said:
"It's hard to meet the excitement, you have to follow and have a look."
"That's it, the little one leads the way."
In this era, entertainment activities are also scarce, and when encountering such a 'big event' as the county magistrate's trial, it is natural to rush to the bustle, for fear of missing this excitement. But there was no loss of eggs, vegetable leaves, etc.
Vegetable leaves and eggs are not money, they have no grudges against you, they are just having fun, who wants to smash you with money.
Walking outside the yamen of Shuntian Mansion, a group of rough men and aunts were already around. At first glance, it is a spacious lobby, facing a painting in the middle, which is painted with a sea cliff, holding a round of red sun, symbolizing the clear Haiyan River, hanging a gold plaque, and writing: "honest and honest" four big characters.
Moreover, there is a bulletin board in front of the yamen, which is somewhat similar to the notice board in the current community, on which are painted several portraits of arrests, among which there are adventurers who are paraded through the streets in the cages. It can be seen that the painter has quite a deep foundation in ink painting, but whether he looks like himself or not has to be another matter......
At this time, it was the time for Yin Kaiya's promotion to the court to decide the case, and naturally people were allowed to listen, Qin Fen quietly occupied a rather favorable wait-and-see position, sitting and watching a good show, that mood was ...... It's not the same as watching people play monkeys.
I saw a fat man wearing a black gauze hat and a purple official robe sitting above, with a typical brain full of fat intestines and a big belly and a round waist. He was quite a bit of official, raised his hand and patted the shocked wood, and shouted:
"Whoever is in the hall, report your name!"
The two rows of officials were quite cooperative in beating the killing stick, and the bell sounded, if it was an ordinary person who had never seen the world, he was frightened by this, and there was no need to be punished, and the little obscenity in his heart was about to be revealed.
As an adventurer, standing at another height overlooking the world, he is naturally a little arrogant, although the guy is tied with a ten-pound shackle around his neck, he still stands straight, and his expression is quite arrogant, ignoring it.
"Dare to disobey the people, dare to bully me! Drag me down left and right and replay the thirty boards! ”
The crowd applauded.
After thirty boards, the adventurer's buttocks were already dripping with blood, and he was dragged in by two servants, kicked and knelt on the ground, his face full of grievances.
"Oh, Diaomin, report your name!"
The adventurer snorted, "F/uck, you! ”
"It turned out to be a barbarian who crossed the ocean and crossed the sea, and dared to commit a crime under my rule, but he ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall?" The fat-headed and big-eared Fu Yin slapped the table, which shocked people's ears and buzzed, and his big sleeves shook wildly, saying, "In this case, there is no need to judge...... Come on, drag this bird down and kill him with a rod, and hang his body on the city wall and expose it to the sun for three days, as an example! ”
"The old man is wise!" The crowd applauded loudly again.
The adventurer was dumbfounded, and he didn't dare to hit the swollen face as a tough guy anymore, and hurriedly said:
"The adults are wronged, and the little ones have grievances!"
Fu Yin Ling shook the arrow and shouted:
"Wow, it's a sloppy fight with me, drag it down left and right, and talk about it!"
The poor adventurer tried to struggle, but the shackles around his neck flashed with a light, and he was overwhelmed by the officials under the court, and after being beaten to fifty boards, he was beaten to his knees again, and he did not dare to make half a cent of his temper.
Fu Yin said impatiently:
"If you have anything to say, tell me quickly! Say it! ”
The adventurer endured a tear and said:
"The little one came across the ocean, and he was hungry for a while, so he made a mistake, and I hope that the adults will forgive him!"
Fu Yin rolled his eyes and said to the sky:
"Less nonsense! If you are not guilty, isn't it true that everyone intends to get something for nothing? What is the crime of such sinister intentions? Drag it down left and right, and hit another twenty boards! ”
It was really a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the adventurer opened his mouth and said hurriedly:
"The villain is wronged! Adults are ......"
Fu Yin snorted, put his fingers on the table, and slowly rubbed them, his intention was self-evident. But the adventurer has a hard time, if you have the money to honor you, why do you need to eat the overlord's meal?
Seeing that this guy was not good, the fat mansion Yin waved his sleeves and said impatiently:
"Drag it down and fight, and when you've beaten enough, you'll be locked up in prison, and wait for his companions to ransom people!"
After saying that, I was shocked and went to the back hall to rest. But at this moment, a servant with a bloody face and even half of his shoes ran in, and said in a hurry:
"My lord, my lord's not good!"
Fu Yin's eyes widened, and he shouted: "What are you panicking about, take your time!" ”
"Yes, yes...... The tribute to Lafayette was robbed by the gang of thieves in Black Wind Village! ”
