Chapter 203: Rotten Wu Street in the West of the City (2-in-1)
In the evening, the sun reluctantly sets after scorching heat for most of the day. The breeze www.biquge.info the pen and the fun pavilion gently blow, taking away the last trace of dryness in the air.
The common people of the city came out of their homes one after another, enjoying a rare rest time after a hard day's work.
On the streets, countless hawkers set up their stalls early and put on what they thought was the best goods, and these vendors constituted another sense of prosperity in the county.
However, where there is light, there is shadow, and the county town is no exception.
Rotten Wu Street in the west of the city, the most dilapidated street in the entire county town, was originally called Rotten Wu Street, but was called Wu Street. Although it is still not as prosperous as the other streets, there are still many people who are willing to move into this street.
However, something happened after that: every once in a while, no matter how big or small, male or female, people lived on this street, one person would die in the night. Among the dead, there were even students who opened their minds.
For a while, people were panicked, and soon, this matter was stabbed to the official office.
The official office was shocked and sent guards to investigate, but unfortunately, even the official guards only came to the conclusion that the student died a natural death after examining the body, and hastily ended the investigation.
As a result, the residents living in Wujie became even more panicked, and those who could afford it chose a new home, and those who could not afford it stayed at relatives' homes.
Even the two adjacent streets have become depressed as a result.
Soon, all that remained was a few dilapidated and empty uninhabited houses.
The official office investigated several times before and after, but did not find it, and in the end it was impossible, so it could only be reported to Le Lone.
Le Lin also went to Wujie to see, but the result was the same as the guards, and he didn't find anything abnormal, and in the end, there was no way, so the official had to order all the areas around Wujie to be closed and no one was allowed to enter.
This blockade is to seal all the entrances to that piece with a stone wall, leaving only two passages in and out of the outermost part.
Although the others were puzzled, this was an order from Le Lin himself, and the officials could only carry it out according to the order.
This letter was several years, and as time passed, although the rumors of Wujie were still circulating among the crowd, gradually there were people who were not afraid of death and sneaked in through the entrance left on the wall.
At first, it was only inhabited by a few beggars with nothing, and later, some people lived in Wujie for various purposes.
Although there are still news of dead people from time to time, for some people, Wujie has become a free place without rules.
Since then, Wujie has become a lawless place where countless beggars, female branch girls, murderers, thieves, and even Kaifeng students who have committed serious crimes live here.
Wujie has also become a mysterious and sinful existence in the hearts of ordinary people in the county town. Ordinary people will definitely not get half a step close to Wujie. They will not let their children get close to it.
As a result, Wujie is no longer Wujie, and the name of Rotten Wujie, I don't know who came out, spread in the mouths of the locals.
In the eyes of the locals, the word "Rotten Street" is synonymous with sin, the abode of death, and the place of filth.
Parents who have bear children at home, as soon as they say, "If you cry again, I will sell you to Langwu Street in the west of the city." "If you don't eat, the bad guys of Rotten Black Street will come to arrest you." "If you make any more trouble, let the villains of Rotten Black Street take you away." ”
Then, the bear child who can go to heaven will be honest at once.
The "prestige" of Rotten Wu Street in the west of the city can be seen from this.
......
Zhao Si's face was long, and his face was full of fat, and he shook out circles of ripples.
It turned out that at the entrance to Langwu Street, someone made a fence with wood to completely seal the entrance on the wall, and the entrance that could have been three people in parallel was left with only a small door that could barely allow one person to enter and exit.
In front of the door stood two thin, short and thin guards with few taels of flesh on their faces, and the older of them was playing Hache listlessly.
Seeing that Zhao Si was about to walk in through that door, the guard who beat Hache suddenly became energetic, stretched out his hand, and stopped in front of Zhao Si, "Yo, this master, do you want to go in? Do you know where it is inside? Yes, that's good, is there a pass paper? No? Then I'm sorry, you can come back when you get the pass paperwork!"
The corners of Zhao Si's mouth twitched, if it weren't for the fact that this operation was a confidential act, and it was repeatedly emphasized that his identity should not be revealed, Zhao Si would have been furious.
What the hell is the passage paperwork? What kind of place is Rotten Wu Street, if you have the ability to get the passage paperwork of that kind of labor, who will come here?
"Two adults, if you have something important to go into the Rotten Wu Street, can you make it convenient? Resisting the urge to reach out and slap the guard, Zhao Si vaguely stuffed a piece of thumb-sized silver into the hand of the guard.
When he said these words, Zhao Si was dripping blood in his heart, thinking about his identity, that is, some small family patriarch, and he was not polite in front of him, but now he was going to talk to two little guards who usually didn't pay attention to it at all.
If it was someone else in the pavilion, he would not be able to leave angrily, Zhao Si was different from them, he worked hard all the way from the bottom, and it was not easy to get through to his current position, for him, there are some twists and turns in the doorway, the door is clear.
He didn't? That's a problem.
Money is a good thing, as long as there is money, then the problem is not a problem.
The older guard secretly checked the silver handed over by Zhao Si, with a satisfied smile on his face, and said to his companion who was stunned: "Erzhe, open the door and let this master in." ”
Another guard hurriedly answered and opened the door, revealing a gap that could only pass through one person.
Zhao Si was about to go in, and the guard who collected the money suddenly stretched out his hand to block the one-person exit, "This master, don't worry, there are some things to say in advance." Why do you want to enter this rotten black street, we don't care. We don't care how you got in. However, it is easy to get in, but it is not so easy to get out, you have to think clearly and don't regret it when the time comes. ”
Zhao Si said impatiently: "I know the rules, I just went in to find someone, and I definitely won't make trouble." Besides, you don't know what kind of place is here, even if something happens, it has nothing to do with you, right?" After a pause, Zhao Si glanced at the guard who was collecting the money, "Now you can let me in, right?"
The guard who blocked the way nodded, very satisfied with Zhao Si's acquaintance, and withdrew his hand to get out of the way.
Zhao Si couldn't wait to walk in, after he came out of the black crow Bai'er, he trotted all the way over, although he was delayed for some time just now, but it was still a little short of the hour that the black crow Bai'er said.
Seeing Zhao Si walking away, Er Zhe touched the guard who collected the money, and asked in a low voice, "Second uncle, didn't the adults say that they can't let people in?"
The money collector smiled and said, "You are stupid, apart from the two of me, who knows that someone has gone in? Besides, you think we can go in? That guy is willing to give money, why don't you let him in?"
Er Zhe scratched his head and said, "I know there is an exit on the other side, but isn't there a stirrup boss and a small fish guarding over there?"
Collecting the money, the guard slapped Erzhe and said: "Silly boy, think about it, if there are only these two exits here, and the things can't be sent in, and the people inside can't get out, then what will they eat, what will they drink?
Er Zhe's eyes widened, and his face was full of surprise, "Er...... Second uncle, you ...... You're saying there are other exits in there?"
The money collector kicked Er Zhe, ignoring Er Zhe's aggrieved eyes, looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention nearby, so he came to Er Zhe's ear and whispered: "Silly boy, it's good to know this matter in your heart, don't say it, do you think that as long as you are smart, everyone else is stupid?"
"What's the matter, why don't you tell it and listen to it together?"
Suddenly, a slightly hoarse male voice remembered in the ears of the two guards, and Er Zhe was so frightened that he sat directly on the ground.
"You... You... Who is it?" the older guard was much calmer than his nephew, but he still stuttered a little when he spoke, obviously frightened.
When he saw the speaker's face clearly, the older guard was relieved.
It's just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy who doesn't look familiar at all, so it's not from those families. He was wearing a shabby animal skin coat, and his trousers were also made of half-used linen, which were not valuable goods. There is no jade plate on his waist, and he is not a young master of a rich family.
Where did the poor boy come from? The old catcher was angry.
Startled by a poor boy who came out of nowhere, the older guard couldn't help but be annoyed and asked angrily: "Boy, while Uncle Ben is not angry, hurry up." ”
As a member of the official guards, the elder guards shouted out, which was a bit majestic.
"Don't, if you have something to say, what about me, my name is Yuanchen," Chen Yuan blinked and said nonsense without blushing, "This is Rotten Wu Street, right? I want to go in and see, can you help me open this door?"
The elder guard's heart jumped, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he was very good at hiding it, "Boy, this is not a good place, if you go in, you will die." ”
Chen Yuan smiled slightly and said, "This lord, of course I know what kind of place this is, I just want to go in, can I trouble you to open that door." ”
The elder Zhu Wei Yizheng verbally refused, "No, unless you can get the passage document stamped with the official seal." ”
"Passage paperwork? Chen Yuan turned around, and he didn't know what he was doing.
Although the older guard was curious, he stopped in front of the door and did not move, in his opinion, Chen Yuan, an ordinary teenager, if he really entered the Rotten Wu Street, he would not be swallowed by the beasts inside. Although the elder catcher was greedy for money, he didn't want to see Chen Yuan give his life at a young age.
"Here, pass paperwork, you can let me in now!" Chen Yuan handed a piece of Zou Badi animal skin paper to the elder guard, and said easily.
The surprise of the elder catcher was written on his face, he really didn't expect that Chen Yuan actually had a pass document on him. If so, doesn't it mean that the true identity of this young man is not so "simple" as he behaves?
With suspicion, the elder guard took the animal skin paper in Chen Yuan's hand and looked at it carefully, but as a result, the older guard was stunned.
Er Zhe had already gotten up from the ground, and he had been hiding to the side just now. If it were known that he was frightened to the ground by a young man under twenty, it would be a shame on his face. Hearing the words "common documents" coming out of Chen Yuan's mouth, Er Zhe didn't care about whether he was ashamed or not, and squeezed next to the elder guard, just to see what the legendary common documents looked like.
Er Zhe has been guarding the door for so long, and he really hasn't seen the passage papers, and now that he has the opportunity, he can't hurry.
"It's really a common document!" Er Zhe exclaimed.
The elder catcher slapped Er Zhe on the head and scolded fiercely: "Tong... Open... Don't say it's my nephew in the future, I don't have a stupid nephew like you!"
I saw that on the animal skin paper in the hands of the elder guard, the font of the four characters of "Passage Document" was square and rigorous, revealing a neutral and peaceful momentum, at a glance, even if the elder Catcher Guard could not calligraphy, he could also see that the four words of "Passage Document" were excellent.
The elder guard trembled and raised the animal skin scroll with the words "Passage Document" written on it, and asked dryly, "Is this a passage document?"
Chen Yuan blinked innocently, and his fair face showed just the right hint of doubt, "Isn't this, you see, isn't it written on it?"
Er Zhe interjected: "Yes, second uncle, those four words on it are "common documents", I recognize them." ”
"Shut up!" the elder guard regretted, he really shouldn't have brought this idiot here. Er Zhe was a little aggrieved, and muttered that he wanted to say something, but under the stern eyes of the older guard, he didn't say it in the end.
The elder catcher took a few deep breaths, otherwise, he was afraid that he would be angry, "Young man, I'm sorry, this "pass document" is invalid, I can't let you in." ”
Chen Yuan smiled and didn't care. To be honest, coming up with such a "common document" is just a joke. The attitude of the older guards made Chen Yuan a little surprised, when was the attitude of these guards so good?
"That fat man just now, there is no passage paperwork, how did you let him in?" Chen Yuan asked suddenly.
The elder catcher subconsciously replied: "He gave the money ......" Halfway through speaking, the older catcher reacted, and almost didn't bite his tongue before swallowing the last word.
Chen Yuan had a strange smile on his face, and said meaningfully: "Oh, it turns out that he gave ......"
The cold sweat on the face of the elder catcher came down, and he hurriedly stepped forward to cover Chen Yuan's mouth, "Little master, don't say it, I can't let you in, don't say it." As he spoke, the elder guard glared at Er Zhe: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't open the door yet." ”
"Haha, thank you, thank you for tea next time!" After speaking, Chen Yuan swaggered in. (To be continued.) )
