Chapter 41: The Charm of the Devil is a Fool
The capital city of Great Qin is divided into an outer city, an imperial city, and a palace city.
There are 365 fang markets in the outer city, and the four sides of the protective wall correspond to the four main streets of the east, west, north and south, and the middle street takes Shengli Street as the central axis, and a Weishui River traverses the entire capital of Daqin.
Weishui River.
It is said that the first emperor traveled here and found that this place contains the spirit of the emperor, so he opened the mountain to lead Weishui into the city.
The city is determined by water, and the industry is prosperous because of water.
The Weishui River makes every inch of land on both sides of the river, the rich gather, the green buildings stand in a forest, and the painting boat Lingbo becomes the beautiful place of the capital.
Whenever twilight falls.
Thirty miles of Weishui River, the lights on both sides of the river, the big red lanterns hang high, the melodious scenery of the small song is picturesque, the boat of the painted boat is leisurely on the river surface, the sound of oars and the shadow of lights.
....
Under the cover of night, the ox cart came to a high-walled mansion next to the Weishui River.
The old man put down his whip, jumped up the steps with a sturdy body, and gently buckled the knocker.
"Who's out there?" The man asked from inside the door.
The old man said quickly in a low voice, "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand." ”
Forthwith.
Another sentence came from outside the door, "The year is in Jiazi, and the world is peaceful." ”
Followed by.
The door slowly opened, and a middle-aged man with a big belly walked out of it, holding a lantern and looking at the people in front of the door, and deliberately asked loudly.
"You are the family of my uncle in Sanchuan County."
"It's a drop, it's a drop, the capital is too big, and a lot of wrongful roads have been taken." The old man smiled bitterly.
"Come in!"
The pot-bellied man looked disdainful, turned around and walked into the door in disgust.
It didn't take long.
The crowd appeared in a basement.
The pot-bellied man knelt down respectfully towards Xuanming Daoist at this time and kowtowed.
"Ming and Qing have seen Uncle Shizu."
Xuan Ming Daoren's expression was silent, "Why are there so many government guards patrolling in the capital city. ”
The big-bellied Ming Qing said cautiously.
"Returning to the ancestor of the master, the stronghold sent back the news that the Shouhe Building in the palace was set on fire, the Han Palace was also attacked by a mysterious person, the virtuous concubine was seriously injured, and Emperor Qin Zhao was furious, and ordered a strict inspection of the inside and outside of the capital to find the thief."
Xuan Ming Daoren's gloomy face showed half a point of happiness, and he clapped his hands.
"Good! The Great Qin dog thief, vainly trying to seize the luck of heaven and earth, everyone will be punished, there are still loyal and brave people in the world, can there be a way to contact those people? ”
The big-bellied Ming Qing shook his head in embarrassment.
"Uncle Shi, the disciple has no choice, in order to let the master and the ancestor enter the palace, the disciple also uses the deed of this house to open up the relationship."
As he spoke, there was a faint pain in his heart.
One room in the capital, ten thousand taels of gold.
This is not boasting.
Every inch of land in the capital of Daqin, especially the land price on the banks of the Weishui River, is the gold of gold.
In order to succeed in this mission, Taiping Dao reluctantly asked Qingming to give this Sanjin mansion on the bank of the Weishui River to a chief eunuch in the Huanyi Bureau.
The price is not insignificant.
In this regard, the Xuanming Dao people scoffed, in order to take revenge, a little gold and silver is nothing.
"It's just a copper smell, how can it be worthy of the inheritance of Taoism, when will I enter the palace tomorrow."
"The appointed hour."
"Alright, you stand down."
When the underground dark room was empty, the Xuanming Daoist looked at the bluestone bricks above his head and muttered to himself.
"Ying'er, for the sake of my father, I will definitely kill the person who harmed you and sacrifice your spirit in the sky."
……
It was dawn.
The mighty caravan carriage in charge of delivering food, food, and supplies to the palace in the outer city was parked outside the Kaiyuan Gate.
The guards carelessly inspected the personnel and goods of each carriage.
Sometimes I talk to acquaintances, and I don't have a well-guarded work attitude at all.
Because, the two metal doors of Kaiyuan Gate are twenty meters high, and the whole body is forged with Xuan Magnet, no matter what metal passes through Kaiyuan Gate, Xuan Magnet can react.
Then.
A blue-coated eunuch appeared inside the far gate, stretched his neck and shouted, "Who is Che Cong, hurry up and roll over." ”
Che Cong bent down slightly and walked to the eunuch with a little indifference on his face, "I am Che Cong." ”
The blue-coated eunuch was a little unhappy.
No matter what I say, I am also a blue-coated eunuch, and I will pick you up before dawn.
If you don't give benefits, forget it, and dare to play face with yourself.
There's plenty of time to clean you up later.
With a cold snort, Yin Yin warned.
"Our family is happy, Grandpa Luo asked our family to tell you, you have to take your heart when you enter the palace, the palace is different from the outside, don't accidentally fall into the dung pit and drown that day, go with our family!"
To be honest, Taiping Dao is very disapproving of Xuanming Dao people entering the palace.
Especially after her daughter Che Ying was gone, Che Cong was even more hostile to Daqin.
He even did not hesitate to cut off the roots of the birds.
Hatred often makes people lose their minds, and if they don't do it, the stronghold that Taiping Dao has been concentrating on for many years will also be destroyed.
But Che Cong's lineage has a deep background in Taiping Dao, and in order to balance the factions in the sect, the head of the sect can only pinch his nose and agree.
In the face of the cynicism of the eunuch Laixi, the palms of Xuanming Daoist locked in the cuffs clenched, trying to control the killing intent that would erupt at any time.
However, Eunuch Laixi saw Che Cong trembling with fright in front of him, and he was a little satisfied in his heart.
In this year, he entered the palace as a eunuch.
It's not just for the sake of wealth.
In front of him, Che Cong can bribe Luo's father-in-law, and naturally he can also bribe himself.
The two of them have their own thoughts.
All the way to the water room of the Huanyi Bureau, Che Cong was taken into a large chase room, and the eunuch Laixi glanced at the lowly eunuchs in the house, and left with a smile.
"Old fellow, I'll help you carry the salute." A triangular-eyed lowly eunuch quickly snatched his bag from Che Cong's hand and opened it in front of everyone.
"There is silver." The triangular-eyed eunuch exclaimed, raising his hands at the same time.
Suddenly, boiling water boiled in the Chase room.
The lowly eunuchs flocked to the triangular eye, and you robbed me.
As for Che Cong, he has long been deliberately forgotten, pushed into the corner, and watched the chaos in the house with a cold eye.
A group of ghosts and ghosts are in vain, and they will wait for the Taoist to be overtaken at night.
……
Dongfang City.
Li Xian came to a furniture shop called Gu Xiang Lou.
As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the strong smell of wood, and the lobby is decorated with a variety of exquisite furniture.
A eunuch clerk nodded and stepped forward.
"I've seen my father-in-law, may I ask my father-in-law what furniture he wants to buy, and the slave will help you choose, even if it is customized."
Li Xian glanced at him indifferently, "I want to buy wood, do you have it here?" ”
Hearing that the business was coming, the eunuch clerk immediately smiled like a flower and nodded again and again.
"Of course there is, the slave maid has huanghuali, red sandalwood, agarwood, golden silk nan, boxwood, ebony, chicken wings, iron power, and sour branches, I don't know what my father-in-law wants."
"Is there a hundred-year-old locust wood?"
Hiss!
The eunuch clerk gasped.
Huai wood, also known as ghost wood, belongs to yin in the five elements, and legend has it that evil ghosts can be attached.
Serious people who dare to buy locust wood will have to be a hundred years old.
However, the ghost thing in the store finally met the buyer.
His eyes stayed on Li Xian's silver moire green clothes for a moment, and he looked left and right.
"Father-in-law, are you sure you want a hundred-year-old locust wood?"
"Hmmm! Did you say a word," Li Xian's face was dissatisfied.
The eunuch clerk was startled, for fear of angering Li Xian, and hurriedly said.
"Yes, yes, father-in-law, please come with the slave and maid."
