The Central Plains of Kyushu is the richest and most prosperous land in this continent, and the capital of the big dream is the richest of the rich, and the most prosperous of the prosperous.

In the capital in July, the sun is like fire, but it can't stop the enthusiasm of pedestrians on the streets.

At this moment, it is almost noon, the streets are full of traffic, pedestrians are bustling, sellers carrying loads of goods, sab-swords, literati and ink writers swaying fans, and dealers howling their voices.....

In the flow of people, an old man and a young man dressed up in a rustic manner, like a pair of beggars.

The old man seemed to be arguing, and kept spitting out words such as restaurant and tick bar.

Although the young man was dressed in coarse linen clothes, his face under the rag hat was like a star, his face was like a crown of jade, with sharp edges and corners, and he was heroic.

Handsome like a reader.

The boy is Li Mengsheng.

He ignored the fragmentary thoughts of the six elders, he knew the temperament of the six elders very well, after all, the only six elders who could get along with the original body.

It can be described as smelling similar......

Li Mengsheng thought about things in his heart: "This wine can't be checked by the sixth elder, lest he associate it, and he has to secretly find an opportunity to confirm that the wine is indeed poisonous." ”

"Otherwise, we have to prove that Qiu Xiang is poisonous.... After all, I ate her last night.... No, no, nobody's going to poison it! ”

He hurriedly patted his head and pulled back his crooked thoughts, "Phew, the rude original..."

"Do you need to go to such trouble to kill me, a powerless mortal..... The poison used didn't even see through the six elders.... The murderer knows my whereabouts, but he waits for me to enter the city before he kills.... It seems that the location of my death is very important....

But that person who wants to take back the North Plains State shouldn't have killed me. However, there are also two or five boys in the human race, so maybe they will fall in love with my high status.

It shouldn't be possible for the demons, it's too far away from the north here, and there is no demonic energy.... They want to kill Dake in Icefield City or on the road.... I came to the capital to kill me because I had a brain disease....

The demon clan, it is also possible, in order to provoke a war between the royal family and the northern plains....

... As a mortal, I really don't feel safe at all! ”

Li Mengsheng had no way to confirm these speculations, so he had to get rid of his thoughts and said with emotion: "I'm just a mortal, and the three clans have reasons to kill me, I really don't know if I should be proud......

Four Seasons Pavilion, Autumn Courtyard.

Faced with Li Mengsheng's behavior of lifting his pants and leaving, Qiu Xiang was used to seeing it.

She lay weakly on the bed, sweating profusely.

tired

But how can there be a job that is not tiring?

"Is he really the prince of Kitahara?"

"Dressed mediocre...... However, it must be from the Northern Plains, so vulgar ......"

Qiu Xiang pursed her lips and shouted, "Xiaoxiang, come in and prepare bath supplies, clean up..."

"Sister Qiu Xiang, Xiao Xiang is dead! It's been reported to the official! ”

"What!"

Qiu Xiang was frightened when she heard this, her face was panicked, and she kept pacing back and forth in the room.

I don't know if it's for Xiaoxiang's death, or something else.

……………

"Childe, where are we going?" The six elders' eyes were like torches, staring at the passers-by, as if they were qualified bodyguards.

"If you stare at other people's breasts again, you'll be caught, and I won't catch you.... This isn't Icefield City, it's not my Yiyantang! Li Mengsheng said faintly beside him: "Let's make a few mouthfuls of rice first...... Well, just go to Baixiang Building! ”

"You slander me, the old man obviously prefers butts, the son is still young, I don't understand!" The six elders grinned with yellow teeth, looking left and right, completely ignoring the eyes around them. "I don't have any money on me"

“？”

"You took it all with you last night, and this morning's baked cakes are all on credit."

"I believe you're a ghost......" Li Mengsheng said disdainfully, the sixth elder can become his entourage, his strength can be seen, will he go to the bread on credit?" Remember to go back next time! ”

The sixth elder smiled smugly: "I deducted the ...... with the object."

"A thousand taels of silver are gone?" Li Mengsheng was still a little incredulous.

The monetary system of the Dameng Dynasty is one tael of silver = eight coins = one hundred copper plates = 1000 Wen.

Gold is a precious item, a luxury, that does not circulate in the market.

When you go out, a thousand taels of silver, ordinary people can't even dream of it.

"Ice Plains City has come here, passing through more than 100 cities, and you said that the beauties of each city have different flavors, so you visited a total of one hundred and fifty-eight kilns.....

Li Mengsheng hurriedly interrupted, "That's called being aware of the people's feelings, not to mention that I'm not so hungry.... Don't slander me..."

He brought out what he had said.

"What did Li Mengsheng do, what does it matter to my sunshine boy Li Mengsheng?"

What's more, what he said is true, the original body is really just a beautiful woman to drink together.

He is a mortal, how can he have the capital to be so pretentious, otherwise how can he get to the capital, and he doesn't need others to do it, and he will burp.

The sixth elder said quite rely: "As you say, the problem now is that there is no money!" ”

The meaning is clear: this matter depends on you, you solve it.

"It's all at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and you're afraid that you won't be able to eat? The emperor is my uncle, my good uncle..."

Li Mengsheng said proudly, but his eyes became deep.

"If nothing else, the one on the dragon chair already knows that I have arrived in the capital.

Suzaku Wei is all over the world, and whoever has the ability to know the movements of the original body must be him. ”

…………

Luxury buildings like Baixiang Tower are located in the inner city.

Compared with the outer city, the inner city of Mengdu is much quieter.

Ordinary people entered the inner city and handed in ten copper plates.

Li Mengsheng originally wanted to implement a low-key style and enter the city without relying on his identity, but the two were penniless.

Just as he was hesitating, seven or eight young men dressed in cyan Confucian robes and embroidered with white spirit deer hugged the people in the middle and walked with laughter.

The man in the middle has two spirit deer embroidered on his cuffs, perhaps this is why he is embraced.

Among the seven or eight people, a young man in a green robe who was at the end seemed to sense the embarrassment of Li Mengsheng and the others, walked over and gave Li Mengsheng twenty copper plates, and smiled at him.

"Abin, come on!"

One person in front shouted, but the rest didn't notice that one was missing.

Li Mengsheng checked the copper plate in his hand, which was engraved with a special butterfly, all the coins of Dameng have this pattern, in order to prevent unauthorized coinage.

Therefore, the currency of Big Dream is also collectively known as "butterfly coins".

He seemed to smile: "Abin, you don't seem to be mixing well." ”

………

Compared with the bustle and noise of the outer city, the inner city is a little less fireworks.

The streets of the inner city are wider, and the normal streets can accommodate eight horse-drawn carriages in parallel.

There was almost no shouting in the streets, and the people who came by were dressed in luxurious clothes.

It is rumored that on Suzaku Street, five steps and one waiter, ten steps and two or four products, and a hundred steps can meet the emperor!

Although it is an exaggeration, it also highlights that the people in the inner city are either rich or expensive.

But it's also a bit bad, the inner city doesn't have a place to look for flowers and willows. Only the Department of Rites under the Ministry of Rites, when the price is high, it should be the top of the Qinglou.

"Huh... How can you say that it is not good? ”

The Baixianglou is at the intersection of Zhuque Street and Xuanwu Street, and it is a prosperous shop when it opens.

It has three floors high, the first floor is for ordinary people to eat and drink, the second floor is a private room, and the third floor is not accessible to the rich.

There is a huge butterfly coin hanging on the roof of the building, which is the representative of the Qian family.

The sixth elder touched his chin, his eyes lit up: "I heard that it used to be made of silver, but it was later stolen by the thieves of the rivers and lakes and replaced it with copper, but it is also worth a lot of money......

"Sixth Elder, put away your crooked thoughts, don't fall into the reputation of the palace."

Li Mengsheng was quite helpless, he was also from the palace, although Beiyuan was not as rich as here, but it was not so much.

The sixth elder nodded again and again, still thoughtful: "What does Childe mean, don't let others find out?" ”

Li Mengsheng: "........."

The two walked into the hall on the first floor, and now it is the peak period of lunch, and the hall is full of people, the sound of serving, the sound of cups, and the sound of conversation.

Although Baixianglou is very expensive, there are not a few rich people.

No, there is only one vacant seat in the entire hall on the first floor.

………

Li Mengsheng was already hungry, let alone doing physical activities.

The six elders deserved to have the same smell as him, and they were quick to occupy the empty table.

If nothing else, the unexpected came.

The voice of the loud conversation came from another doorway, and it was the group of young men in Confucian robes who met at the gate of the city.

They also want to occupy empty tables.

The unique Confucian robe instantly attracted everyone's attention, and the hall was full of gossip!

"Students of White Deer Academy."

"The one in the middle is the son of the Ministry of Rites...."

"Zhu Botao, a seventeen-year-old Confucianism and Taoism, with talent and background, is really more human than human, and is angry."

…………

Zhu Botao stood proudly, enjoying the compliments of the people around him.

And the people who traveled with him had already stared at Li Mengsheng and the two who had just sat down.

One of them had disdain in his eyes and casually threw down a string of copper butterfly coins, "We occupy this position, you two take this money and find another restaurant." ”

Li Mengsheng owed Abin a favor, and wanted to take the initiative to give up the table, but the other party's attitude determined his attitude.

"No, we just love the food here." Li Mengsheng replied nonchalantly.

The man looked them up and down, snorted disdainfully, and left.

"Tolls are all beggars who depend on alms."

After a while, four or five strong men came to the hall, who were the guys of Baixianglou.

It turned out that this man told the shopkeeper what he had seen and heard at the city gate, and wanted to use the hands of the shopkeeper to drive the two away.

"Two, please go out!"

"In business, the person who comes is the guest, how can there be a reason to drive the guest out."

Li Mengsheng frowned, it is also a famous building in Beijing, and the pattern is so small?

"People are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and so are the guests. Some people are customers at the hawkers, but not necessarily here. The man in the Confucian robe said in a strange way.

Li Mengsheng raised his eyebrows, and said to Confucian Sheng lightly: "Don't you know that you don't judge people by their appearance?" What a three, six, nine, etc., what a big dream reader! ”

The movement here has already attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

One old and one young look calm, without any shame of being driven away.

It seems that the little students in the Confucian robe of the White Deer Holy Courtyard in front of them are noisy low-level clowns, and they are the ones who are dressed up in destitute clothes.

The four or five strong men didn't dare to act rashly when they heard this, and this group of Confucian scholars also swallowed their saliva, and even Zhu Botao was puzzled: Who is this person?

When did the Confucian Sheng receive such contempt, but the arrogant demeanor of the other party did not seem to be fake.

As a Confucian scholar specializing in official Taoism, the more he knows how to observe words and feelings, which people should be offended and which people should not be offended.

Judging the situation, pick soft persimmons and pinch them.

Then he glared angrily at Abin at the edge of the crowd, and his meaning was self-evident.

Abin never wanted to help someone who was so fearless of power and admired him.

Facing the angry gaze of his classmates, he knew that this group of people had put the blame on himself again.

He stood up helplessly, and before he could speak, he was interrupted by the beggar boy: "Are you going to drive us away?" ”

Li Mengsheng's eyes narrowed into a slit, he didn't want this young man who had released kindness to him to be a sycophant and didn't tell right and wrong.

Abin shook his head, "I still understand the simple truth of first come and then come, I'm just here to apologize to you."

After speaking, he apologized, with a miserable smile on his face, he knew that he couldn't get mixed up in this circle when he said this.

"What's wrong with you, is it wrong to spread kindness and lead me into the city, or is it wrong to prevent a disaster for your ignorant classmates?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Li Mengsheng made a helpless statement:

"I wanted to be a low-key person, but my strength didn't allow it. I'm in a showdown, I'm ......"

The atmosphere was already set, and everyone listened sideways, almost forgetting to breathe. His words were rudely interrupted.

"I know who you are...... "Three knife-wielding men dressed in dark gold brocade and covered with white tiger masks strode into the hall, and the leader said in a deep voice: "You are a murderer!" ”

Zhu Botao sneered: "It turned out to be a little deflated three!" ”
