Zhongzhou is located in the middle of the forty states of Great Xia (in fact, there are thirty-nine states, Yanzhou is changed to Yanguo, which is a vassal state of Great Xia), so it is named Zhongzhou.

Because of its geographical location, since the beginning of Dayue, Zhongzhou has been the center of economic and cultural exchanges, very prosperous, and has not been affected by the war or the turmoil of the times, and no real power is willing to destroy the economic fortress.

Su Li and his entourage walked into Zhongzhou, and sure enough, they saw that there was no prosperity outside, and the building still retained the style of the Great Yue Dynasty, elegant and glamorous, and the people came and went, although they were a little restrained, but they were dressed decently, and they were full of streets, and they couldn't see a person who was begging.

The goods are dazzling, the food is fragrant everywhere, the happiest is Qing'er, before the age of twelve, except for a corner of Yunzhou, she has never been anywhere, met the old immortal, life has improved, in fact, what she eats is the food of Yunzhou.

Here, there are endless novelties, there are endless delicacies from all over the world, the key is that as long as she walks over, she doesn't need to speak, there are already vendors who send her hot and fragrant food, and she doesn't charge a penny of silver, which makes her smile and thinks: "When you go back to Yunzhou, you must tell your friends who used to be beggars that you don't need to pay money to eat here in Zhongzhou, and people are still enthusiastic and active." ”

Zhongzhou is the capital, the natural characters are romantic, the so-called romance, can not be said that everyone has a face like a crown of jade, at least people rely on clothing, plus spirit, giving people a pleasant feeling, can be ......

Su Li and others do not have this sense of pleasure, everywhere, on average, ordinary people account for a large proportion, ugly and handsome and chic, in fact, the same, not much, but in Zhongzhou is an exception, the people who come and go on the street, the proportion of ugly people is very large, and you can find one at will.

That kind of ugliness does not mean mediocre appearance, but really ugly, some have sarcomas on their heads, some have crooked necks, and some have big and small eyes, it seems that the ugly people of forty states are gathered here.

"Is there still an annual ugly contest in Zhongzhou?"

Su Li thought like this, after all, he knew that it was impossible, so he asked, "Xiaochunzi, why do all the men in Zhongzhou look ...... So distinctive? ”

"It's called Father-in-law Koharuko! When I arrived in Zhongzhou, I first knew how to be polite, then listened and watched more, and didn't speak. ”

Xiao Chunzi glanced at Su Li and used the usual way of speaking to ordinary people.

"Giggle, don't speak, why do you have a tongue?"

Qing'er's cheeks were full, and she replied casually, and then jumped to a small shop selling siu mai, and the boss was busy wrapping ten yellow crispy pork siu mai for her.

"Qing'er said your tongue is useless."

Ye Hong stepped forward, pinching Koharuko's cheeks with his left hand, and the dagger in his right hand was already stuffed into his mouth.

"Tongue...... My tongue ...... Gone! Spare your life, spare your life, Su Gongzi...... Girl! ”

Xiao Chunzi only felt cold in his mouth, and he didn't know if his tongue had been cut, and he suddenly remembered what other little eunuchs had said about Yunzhou Suli.

This evil star, without saying a word, killed 600 people with his own hands, and when he arrived in Fengzhou, he wiped out dozens of other people's families without saying a word, and said in the book that "great evil is good", and Bao Gonggong wanted to be a charitable Buddha, but ......

He looked at Su Li as a scholar, and his heart was filled with infinite fear, and the people looked sideways, but they were indifferent, and their steps were a little faster, and they didn't want to be killed by curiosity.

"Brother Ye, I didn't mean that."

Qing'er hurriedly ran over, waving the cooked food in her hands, staring at Ye Hong with wide eyes, and didn't know how to explain.

Ho ho!

Ye Hong's dagger was pulled out of Xiao Chunzi's mouth, he gasped, spit out a few mouthfuls of bloody star foam, and put his fingers around his mouth a few times, knowing that his tongue was still there, he hurriedly bowed to Su Li and said:

"Su ...... Su Gongzi, self-...... Since ancient times, men have seen their skills, and their appearance has never been ...... I never cared about ......"

He went around in a big circle and said half a cup of tea kung fu, but he still didn't say why, but the ugly men on the street are indeed capable, and it can be seen from the appearance and the spirit in his eyes that they are all martial arts practitioners, and many of them are not bad at martial arts.

Su Li also knew that no matter what, this Xiao Chunzi would not tell the clues, unless it was to threaten his life, but this matter had nothing to do with him, and it was estimated that it would be an interesting story if he knew it, otherwise it would be difficult for Xiao Chunzi to have ten more lives.

Yunlai Inn is the largest inn in Zhongzhou, it seems that the eunuch Bao is a little interesting, Xiao Chunzi hurriedly handed over a small wooden token, and said, "Su Gongzi takes this token, you can shop around, the villain has a life and death emergency, retire!" He ran out of the inn, and in less than a breath, he ran back again, respectfully presented a small token, and whispered, "Baogong Bus Generation, it's best to keep a low profile these three days." Then he went out backwards.

Su Li handed over one to the unequaled girl, and the unequaled girl happily took Qing'er's hand and walked out of the street, Su Li smiled, "This is the real her!" Then he played with the token again, "It seems that Zhongzhou is really interesting." ”

Eunuch Bao asked him to keep a low profile, and the implication was that it was best to stay in the inn for three days, so as not to let others know his identity, since this was the case, Su Li waved his sleeves and strode down the street.

After walking for a round, Su Li basically had a preliminary understanding of Zhongzhou Street, the rich were concentrated in the center, and most of the people on both sides of the city gate were relatively low-level people, and at noon, he walked into a simple and wide teahouse near the city gate.

The people sitting in the teahouse are all men, sitting in a very free and easy posture, with open chests, erect big feet, sleeping on two benches, and even picking their toes, and then putting their noses under them to taste them again and again......

The food in front of them was very simple, but the portions were large, the rice was like a hill, and the bowl with the inferior rice wine was very large.

A down-and-out scholar-like storyteller stood in the middle, telling a story with a very heavy color about a scholar encountering a banshee in the wild.

Su Li knew that in these places, he could often hear very simple news, so he chose a position by the window and sat far away, as if he held his identity and kept a distance from these people, but in fact, he heard every word of them very clearly.

Everyone also respects this brightly dressed son, and the so-called Tao is not the same.

The storyteller told the story to "where can the scholar hold the ......" and then stopped his voice, smiled and begged around for a silver reward, and gave a little more than the extra silver, and deliberately immersed himself in another topic with the person next to him, and the storyteller was not surprised.

"Brother Zhang, my brother who works at Wang Yuanwai's house said that it was convenient to get up in the middle of the night that day, and I saw Wang Yuanwai standing behind his ewe with his pants off, chirping ......"

"Most rich people have that hobby, when my family cleaned up the bed for her husband, they also found radish, the key, they didn't raise rabbits......

……

The conversation gradually began......

"You guys are all nonsense, mine is well-founded, have you seen that King Jing these days? No, in the past three days, he could be seen riding a big white horse and swaggering through the market, he, ordered the emperor to study behind closed doors! ”

"What Brother Li said is indeed the truth, the emperor ordered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to study behind closed doors, I heard that he wants to read the book of sages!"

"Why the emphasis on the books of the sages?"

"Probably they have ewes and carrots in their house!"

The topic came back to it.

"Groundless, not necessarily without a reason, I want to come to Li Yuan and Li Ji to grounding the emperor, no wonder it's been five days, and no one has come to me......"

Su Li was analyzing, and there was a crowd outside the teahouse, and everyone seemed to spread out on both sides, deliberately maintaining a "passing" posture, and unconsciously tiptoeing.

I saw a small group of officials coming from the city, escorting a prisoner car, and in the prison car sat a middle-aged man with his head shrugged, his hair was messy, and his face was covered with blood, as if he had been locked up for a long time and had just been severely punished.

"Huh?"

Su moved slightly, the man in the prisoner car was very familiar!
