The three cities are located in the northernmost part of Yunzhou, close to the grassland, west of Nanping Mountain, east of Chishui, is the first stop of the Central Plains merchants to come to Saiwai, and it is also the only way. Nearly 100 years after the founding of the new dynasty, because it was a court established by foreign tribes in the northeast, compared with the south, where there were constant uprisings, there were no past disputes, but the most peaceful, this border market gradually developed and grew, and became a town with a certain defensive power.

Although the sparrows are small, the places where the merchants and merchants gather, the teahouses, wine shops, and inns naturally flourish, and the trade of leather goods, cattle and horses is prosperous.

Xiao Pan pounded his sour waist, because at the end of summer, transactions here are becoming more and more frequent, and there are more people coming and going in the inn.

"Little Er, let's have a pot of tea!" The guest at the innermost table by the window shouted.

"It's coming!"

Who knew that when he was about to turn around when he sent the tea, his sleeve was pulled suddenly, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was a frequent customer in the store, Boss Liu, and the impatience on his face instantly turned into a smile: "What does Old Liu command?" ”

"Xiao Panna, the old man just came back and found that the corpses outside were gone, is the government relieved?" Boss Liu asked in a low voice.

Xiao Pan's eyes carefully swept around, and then he replied in a quieter voice: "Last night, while it was raining, the corpse suddenly disappeared, it is estimated that the righteous man who passed by couldn't stand the hands and feet, this morning the official errand also tossed a little, but unfortunately the people did it cleanly, and I don't know where to bury those corpses." ”

"It's not bad, these people can finally enter the ground, it's better than exposing the corpses in the wilderness without bones." Boss Liu sighed lightly when he heard this, and muttered: "It's just like that, and it looks strange and pitiful." ”

"There are very pitiful people, I think these people are brainless, they have to go against the imperial army, this time the head is moving, if there is no one to help, I am afraid that there is no one to collect the corpse, why bother?"

"You don't understand...... Boss Liu shook his head and scolded again: "The imperial court is just encircling and suppressing the forces of rebellion, but it ordered all monks in Yunzhou to return to the world, destroy Buddha statues, burn palaces, and make the people convert to shamans, isn't this forcing people to rebel?" How many innocent people have died in just two years? At present, the situation in Yunzhou is becoming more and more serious, and seeing that the temples and Taoist temples in the surrounding state capitals and even the people have begun to endanger themselves, this world, I am afraid that it will be chaotic again. ”

"When will this court not be chaotic, what is the rebellion of the monks, and the dozens of rebels in the south are still small?" Xiao Pan pursed his lips, and then realized that he was speechless, so he didn't say more, and slipped away while there were guests ordering.

Yuan Xing'an sat at the window on the second floor, leaning lazily on the railing, looking at the pedestrians on the street, and poured himself a cup of tea.

The environment of this world is really good, the aura concentration is much higher than the blue star, today is a rainy day, since last night, it has rained in the sky, after dawn it is a lot smaller, it has become a misty drizzle, from a distance, everything in the world seems to be covered with a layer of mist, very ancient Gongbi painting artistic conception.

Yuanxing doesn't like rainy days, but this is an exception. Because of the hot weather in late spring, these rains not only bring some coolness, but also eliminate the different smells on the body and in the air. For example, the smell of sandalwood, such as the smell of corpses.

And he seems to be leisurely, but in fact, the sound of conversation downstairs is in his ears, and not half a word is missing.

Compared with the inland of the Central Plains, Yunzhou is remote after all, although there are the most well-informed traders in the new dynasty here, and the timeliness of information is inevitably lagging behind, but for Yuanxing, no matter what topic the guests talk about, there is information he cares about.

What era is this, what policies does the imperial court have, why do so many monks die outside, is the imperial court destroying the Buddha and destroying the Tao? Since when? These are all things he cares about.

It's a pity that the people below seem to be avoiding something, and most of the talk is about the price of cattle and sheep in the north and the shortcomings of the parents.

Seeing that it was close to noon, he cleared his throat and said loudly: "Little Er......"

Xiao Pan heard the movement, and hurriedly stepped on the wooden stairs to the second floor, and saw a particularly handsome and fair-skinned boy looking at him with a folding fan in his hand and smiling, looking about the same age as himself, but the clothes were very gorgeous and the temperament was good.

"What does Qin Gongzi command?" He naturally knew that the person in front of him was the rich boy who lived in the inn last night, don't look at the fact that there was no servant next to him, but the person's demeanor and generosity were still something he had rarely seen in the shop for so many years. Far from being as stingy and calculating as those merchants.

"If you're hungry, bring me a bowl of noodles." Yuan Xing leaned his body against the back of the chair with a grin: "Remember, I don't eat green onions and coriander...... After that, he raised the folding fan in front of his eyes and fanned it violently, complaining: "Why is the smell so heavy here, and the meat is free, disgusting ......"

Such a hypocritical behavior is normal in Xiao Pan's eyes, he accompanied the smiling face and flattered: "The local area is mostly cattle and sheep trading, and the taste is not much better. The small ones are arranged, and even a serving of somen noodles is guaranteed to make you happy. ”

"Remember, you can't put any meat on it." Yuan Xing's hand froze for a moment, and then commanded lightly.

"Okay......

Of course, Yuan Xing deliberately behaved like this, first, not to make people suspicious, the dozen or so corpses outside before were too shocking and had to be extremely careful. Second, he really can't eat meaty things, even if he can eat meat, he was tired last night and had back pain, and he wouldn't have a good appetite when he thought about it.

Soon, a bowl of light somen noodles was served, Yuan Xing took out a few chopsticks, nodded with satisfaction, and threw a small ingot of silver in Xiao Pan's hand, taking advantage of his silly kung fu to ask quietly: "I just heard you talk about monks, what's going on?" Seeing that the other party was puzzled, he explained: "I have been studying in the mountains before, but I didn't expect the outside to change so much, why?" Even the monk and Taoist priest have an accident? ”

Xiao Pan didn't expect the ears of the noble son in front of him to be so sensitive, and carefully glanced around again, the second floor of the inn was deserted, and some guests were far away, so he whispered: "My Yunzhou Buddhism and Taoism have been prosperous since ancient times, after the establishment of this dynasty, there are two major forces in the local area, Mida Temple and Seeking Truth, and the two families have disputes from time to time. It is said that a few years ago, the Mida Temple lost something important, and named and said that the truth was stolen, and the truth was naturally denied, and the two sides were not very happy. ”

Clash of Religions? Yuan Xing raised his eyebrows, reached out and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Pan, motioned for him to sit down and continue.

The latter was not polite, sat next to the stool, and said: "Originally, there was nothing to make trouble, but two years ago, the things of Mida Temple really appeared in the Truth Seeking Temple, and now it is lively." Coincidentally, the emperor inspected Yunzhou, and the two sides did not know what taboo they had committed, which made the emperor angry, and ordered Yunzhou to destroy the Buddha and destroy the Tao on the spot, all the monks and monks returned to the world, and the people converted to shamans, and many people died for this. ”

"The government also took the opportunity to grab land and plunder money, not only did the monks who did not want to return to the vulgar, but even the people were also affected, and they were accused of worshiping evil gods, and there were many things that broke the family and destroyed the clan." When he said this, he sighed: "Don't look at the fact that there are a lot of vendors in this city, but compared with the previous years, there are more than half of them, who still has the heart to do business if the world is not peaceful?"

When Yuan Xing heard this, he couldn't help but sigh......
