Chapter 532: The Fourth Day of the Fifth Month Lights Are Like Daylight
readx;? The night of the fourth day of the fifth month is very lively, because tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, which is an important festival in the Song Dynasty, but thousands of families do not seem to be in the mood to prepare for tomorrow. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Lin'an City is also an empty alley, the curfew imposed because of Ding Daquan's matter has been lifted, these people are not staying in themselves, but they have taken the excuse to go in the direction of Longshan Temple!
Because tomorrow is not only the Dragon Boat Festival, but also the birthday of the Queen Mother, the officials also dispersed early, making final preparations for tomorrow's birthday.
The official celebration is placed tomorrow, and Longshan Temple, as the location designated by the Queen Mother, has entered the rhythm of the national carnival one day in advance.
The torches are like a long dragon, extending from the foot of the mountain all the way to the mountainside, and the palace is set off by thousands of lights, like the star palace in the sky, unable to distinguish between the sky and the world, as if the fairyland is open to the people of the world!
In order to select the team that can perform in front of the Queen Mother, the officials of the Longshan Temple and the Ministry of Rites have been preparing for three months in advance, and those who have not been selected have not been idle.
It is said that the official family will accompany the queen mother, on the tall building in the palace, watching this scene from a distance, the whole Lin'an is like bathed in starlight, as if thousands of stars have fallen into the world, rendering this Lin'an a place that never sleeps!
All kinds of fun and delicious vendors, from the foot of the mountain all the way to the front of the mountain gate of Longshan Temple, men, women and children are bathed in the festivities, although such a grand occasion once a year, but it is still rare, can coincide with the meeting, since everyone is enthusiastic.
Many people also know the rules of previous years, the Longshan Temple will distribute some good things for free, and the imperial court will also open a good hall on this day, and officials of all sizes will even sprinkle copper coins from the top of the mountain like rain in order to please the queen mother and show the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty.
Therefore, there are only 10,000 empty alleys in Lin'an City, because hundreds of thousands of people in the entire city, a large part of them have gathered here.
This is also a factor that the imperial court considers the whole world to celebrate, because those who can watch the celebration on the mountain tomorrow are all rich and noble families, and ordinary people do not have such blessings.
It was a lively night, but it was also a chaotic night, ordinary people wanted to get clean, street ruffians, mountain fox rats, nearby hooligans and rangers, also took advantage of tonight, wantonly shots, many innocent girls were eaten tofu indiscriminately, and even some women from good families were abused.
But many people are happy to do this, and regard this event as a rare and even more rare event, tomorrow belongs to the Queen Mother and the court, but tonight, it belongs to them, the people!
In order to ensure law and order and maintain order, Zhao Zongchang also united with Longyou County and many other Kuo counties, as well as the forbidden army teams such as the Dianqian Division, to increase manpower and try to maintain the peace of tonight.
Yang Jing didn't see this scene, because he had just returned from the palace, and the flowers were still cooperating with Princess Ruiguo to rehearse tomorrow's drama.
And Yang Jing was waiting for the information of Chen Mi and others.
As early as two days ago, Chen Mi and Li Yu learned an extremely important piece of information from the Imperial City Division.
Hongqi will launch an operation in the near future, and the target is just a member of the Ministry of Justice, just a simple murder, but it is an excellent opportunity to find melons along the way!
Yang Jing has just returned, Chen Mi also sent the latest news, the official Lang Zhong, has gone to Longshan Temple to participate in tonight's activities, it is said that today is Lang Zhong's mother's birthday, this Lang Zhong will distribute longevity peaches on the mountainside, and there will be some copper coins and other colorful heads randomly hidden in the longevity peach.
Of course, as an official of the ministry, which one is not full of money? Is it that her mother's birthday is no longer important, anyway, the ministers of the court and the central government, which one is not a clever name and throwing money in order to please the queen mother?
I thought that these were all useless achievements, but the Queen Mother saw them all, and many people were able to rise to the top in the court because of their outstanding performance on this day, which made the Queen Mother happy.
Perhaps it was this Lang Zhong who was too swaggering and high-profile that attracted the enemy, so that Hongqi Yudu sent people to assassinate him.
After Yang Jing received the news, he was fully equipped and went out with Feng Ruochen, because Chang Shenyue was familiar with the terrain of Longshan Temple, so he and Liu Hanchao followed Yang Jing far away, and they were the right to be backups.
Although the officers and soldiers patrol around, there are still many people, hiding blades and weapons, most of them are people from the rivers and lakes, and they dare not be blatant, either hidden in the scroll, or wrapped in black cloth, or directly stuffed into the bamboo tube.
The government also turned a blind eye, as long as they didn't make trouble, they would let it go, after all, if they were wantonly arrested, this activity could not be continued, and they could only be martial law and enter a state of curfew.
These martial arts rangers are just joining in the fun, after all, no one wants to disturb this event, because this event is full of business opportunities, not to mention anything else, just say that this section from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, if you want to set up a stall to do business, in addition to paying taxes to Longshanguan, you also have to pay filial piety money to local gangs.
For a grand gathering of more than 100,000 people, it is conceivable how much profit can be generated.
It is precisely because of this that Yang Jing, who has a long strip of cloth inserted in his waist, is not so conspicuous.
Along the way, there are lights everywhere, and lanterns of different shapes are hung on the flowers and trees on the side of the road, and Yang Jing has found some modern fashion sense!
Ordinary people don't light lamps much at night, because whether it is lamp oil, butter or candles, it is a lot of expenses.
But tonight's lanterns are all made by the big and wealthy families, and if it weren't for the people everywhere on the road, these lights would have been stolen.
Of course, there are also some people who specially let children go out, climb the tree, suck out the lamp oil with a hemp pole, and collect it into the bamboo tube, which is also a lot of income, and even if they are caught, on such a festive day, no one will compete with the child, but will reward a few small dollars, so that the child will not play the crooked idea of the lantern again.
Feng Ruochen is a daughter's family after all, seeing that this fire tree and silver flowers never sleep, she also showed a girlish smile, Yang Jing saw it, and she was also stupid, the eyes of the ape were caught by Feng Ruochen, and Yang Jing couldn't help but smile.
"You're looking at the lights, but I'm looking at the picturesque beauty" Yang Jing said, but Feng Ruochen rarely didn't quarrel with him, but smiled shyly: "Time is fast"
Yang Jing was slightly stunned, and then understood, yes, Feng Ruochen is already in his twenties, if in the future life, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, it is still the best golden age for women, but in this ancient era when he married at the age of fourteen, he is indeed an out-and-out golden leftover fighter.
Yang Jing was about to say something to her, but Chen Mi behind him stepped forward and said to Yang Jing: "My lord, Liu Hanchao said that someone is following us."
Yang Jing couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, he was already low-key enough, why did he still cause trouble?
"Isn't it okay to let Liu Hanchao send him away?"
"Liu Hanchao didn't dare to send it away"
"Liu Hanchao doesn't dare to send it?" Yang Jing was also a little puzzled, Liu Hanchao is a character who is not afraid of heaven and earth, his face does not change in the face of thousands of troops and horses, how many Mongolian lone wolves are overturned with a long lance, why is there anyone he dare not send?
"Wouldn't it?" Yang Jing thought of a possibility, and couldn't help covering his forehead, but Feng Ruochen smiled and said, "I'll go back and take a look." ”
Feng Ruochen knows Yang Jing best, Yang Jing can think of it, she can naturally think of it, walked back for a while, and after a while, she led two people to Yang Jing.
As expected, it was indeed Princess Ruiguo and Gao Caizhi who were disguised and disguised, like such a lively event, how could these two little ancestors be missing!
"Sir, Sister Gao will go back to Dali in a few days, I can't talk about it in the palace, I promised to take my sister out with me to play once, it's better to hit the day than to choose a day."
Although it has always been Princess Ruiguo who has spoken, Yang Jing knows very well in her heart that this is what Gao Caizhi meant, after all, she is leaving, and she also wants to get along with Yang Jing more, and it is always good to leave some good memories.
After the incident in Jiying Palace, Zhao Yun's security for his daughter became more and more strict, how could Princess Ruiguo sneak out, Hu Mingqiao took six internal sons, and guarded it around!
Yang Jing didn't come out to play tonight, it was to catch the assassin of the Red Flag Piercing, and it was also good to follow the vine and take the opportunity to find out Yang Fuxue, after all, with the promotion of his official position, Yang Jing showed up more and more frequently, and he had a fight with Yang Miaozhen.
If Yang Fuxue's people want to assassinate Yang Miaozhen, they will definitely monitor Longshan Temple, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not recognize Yang Jinglai.
Yang Fuxue was just an impostor, and letting him know that the existence of Yang Jing's deity would definitely threaten his control of Hongqi.
Slowly saying that Hongqi is a mob organization that is mercenary and does not admit money and fate, Yang Jing can't ignore the potential threat of Yang Fuxue to Yang Jing.
Yang Jing has already suffered enough of this, and he can't wait until these enemies suddenly appear every time to cause irreparable damage to the people around him, before he thinks about revenge, and he must strangle this hidden danger in his infancy before they are unfavorable to him!
It is precisely because of the danger that Yang Jing can't take Princess Ruiguo and Gao Caizhi with him.
After all, Feng Ruochen has experienced strong winds and waves, and she has done it lightly, it is not difficult to escape, plus Feng Ruochen is a vigorous and neat woman, she will never cry and refuse to leave like other women, and waste Yang Jing's sacrifice in vain.
But Princess Ruiguo is different from Gao Caizhi, Princess Ruiguo is a daughter, and Gao Caizhi has suffered huge trauma and can no longer risk herself.
Thinking of this, Yang Jing did not hide it, because he knew that if he did not tell the truth, these two girls who picked the stars and asked for the moon would not leave.
"Your Royal Highness the princess, the minister is traveling in micro-clothes tonight, he has official business, he needs to arrest murderers and assassins, and he can't play with the princess and the county lord."
"Are those murderers and assassins very powerful, will Brother Yang be in danger?" Princess Ruiguo has been mixed for a long time, and she also followed Gao Caizhi to call Yang Jing Brother Yang, although Yang Jing deliberately avoided this title every time, but Princess Ruiguo did not change her words, and Yang Jing went with the flow.
Yang Jing thought that Princess Ruiguo was worried about him, so he replied: "The brothers of the Imperial City Division are secretly protecting, and there will be no danger. ”
When Princess Ruiguo heard this, her eyes lit up, and Yang Jing was also annoyed, and sure enough, Princess Ruiguo then said: "Since Brother Yang is not in danger, Sister Gao and I are protected by Uncle Hu and Neizi, and there is no danger, I have grown so big, and I haven't caught a thief yet, Brother Yang will let us follow, don't worry, I won't harm you!"
Yang Jing was helpless, looked at Hu Mingqiao, the lotus real person of Wudang Mountain nodded, and Yang Jing could only smile bitterly and said, "Okay"
It's just that what Yang Jing didn't expect was that his soft-heartedness once again brought him unexpected danger!
