Hou Ye's Mansion is in the South Baofu Lane of Shuangnian Street outside Chongwen Gate, where there are all tax divisions, as well as six inns such as Fude and Jiqing, and there is a dilapidated Fahua Temple next to Anzi Lane, which was not too prosperous originally, it is said that the Zhang family is an ordinary family, and the Hongzhi Emperor took over the family, and it was developed, but it was arrogant, and the Hou Zhou family of Qingyang, it can be described as the two hegemons of the capital. Even though there are thousands of bad things, but they refuse to leave the old house, Emperor Hongzhi rewarded a lot of land and mansions, almost the entire alley is occupied, but there is still a street deliberately left, called the pigeon market.

There are many kinds of pigeons, and there are many kinds of pigeons, and their ordinary ones are dots, jade wings, crested white, two-headed birds, small gray, soap, purple sauce, snowflakes, silver tails, four pieces of jade, magpie flowers, heel flowers, necks, Taoist hats, inverted spine and other famous colors. Its precious ones include short-beaked, egret, white aconitum, iron ox, green hair, crane show, toad eye gray, seven stars, black back, copper back, hemp back, silver flute, unicorn, spotted, cloud disk, blue plate, parrot beak, white parrot beak idea, purple bird, purple idea, purple jade wing, bird head, iron wing, jade ring and other famous colors. When the pigeon is released, it will be decorated with a bamboo whistle on the tail, which is called a gourd, and it is also called a whistle. The gourd has the size of the difference, the whistle has three joints, five links, eleven, pigeon city eyes, thirteen stars, double tubes, cut-offs, the stars hold the moon difference. When circling, it resounded in the sky and the five tones were prepared, which was really pleasant to the ear.

When I was a child, I was always naughty, and I hit birds with stones, but now I listen to the "cooing" pigeon call, and I think it is pleasant.

I led Hardy, Ye Chengda, and four or five lieutenants, changed into civilian clothes, pretended to be ordinary merchants, and walked here. After all, it is the first time for me to go out to handle a case, although I have been in the capital for a long time, but I still do not know the terrain here, Beijing is too big, the streets are vertical and horizontal, and the flow of people is endless. And this Ye Chengda is very good, and he is familiar with this place, which is very suitable, so when I mentioned this matter to him, he was very happy and agreed.

We walked along, and gradually came to the Hou Ye's Mansion, the mansion is really very luxurious, the wall is high and long, a color of red walls and green tiles, tall steps, two white marble lions are even more majestic, there are seven or eight family members sitting on the bench at the door, the door full of yellow nails is hidden, you can vaguely see the green trees and red tiles inside, and it is even more luxurious to think of it.

First of all, Ning Boyang came here, or some to understand some things, this street is the most prosperous near the Hou Ye's Mansion, six inns are lined up, in addition to Fahua Temple, there is also a Guanwang Temple. Most of the people who live here are ordinary people, officials from small yamen such as Hetai Hospital. Everyone knows that the Hou Yefu is rich and powerful, and has opened a lot of wine shops, silk and other shops, counting on the Zhang family to make more money. Many officials also often come here to run away, so people come and go here, and the river is endless. It's really hard to keep an eye on a few people.

We took a spin and rested at a tea shop. The tea shop was a little old, but it was neat, and we sat on the benches, and Hardy asked for a few cups of tea, and Dr. Tea, an old man, dressed plainly, looked at us a few times, and brought us a plate of pastries. Ye Chengda casually gave a few copper coins, and Dr. Tea looked at us and didn't speak, and said, "You want to enter the Hou Ye's Mansion, right?" ”

I was taken aback, Ye Chengda held the teacup and said, "How do you say this?" Dr. Tea said with a smile: "I saw you walking around here, and your eyes fell on the Hou Ye's Mansion, presumably because you wanted to enter the Hou Ye's Mansion, so I asked." ”

I couldn't help asking: "Sure enough, we really want to go in, but your old man's gaze is really poisonous, so many people on the street can see our thoughts, amazing, amazing!" ”

Dr. Tea smiled, twisted his beard, and said, "I set up a stall here every day, and there are many people like you." My heart moved and I said, "Who can you see here every day?" ”

Dr. Tea looked at me and said, "Everyone has it, people, why are you busy?" Ordinary people like us, it is enough to eat, drink, and sleep! Like you, you will be promoted and rich, hehe, please the little wife. He cracked his mouth and smiled, and one of his yellow teeth was missing.

Hardy frowned and said, "Don't be rude! I raised my hand to stop it and said, "Uncle, I heard that it was very lively here yesterday, and there was a fight!" Dr. Tea seemed to see my identity, but he was not afraid, he pinched the crimson purple clay pot, took a sip carefully, and said: "If you ask the story of the market, the old man can also say a few words, if you ask something else, hehe, you still ask the Terracotta Division, yesterday Hula came to a lot of catches, we ordinary people, can't get close!" ”

Obviously, Dr. Tea refused to say it, so I smiled and said, "Uncle, since you know our identity, you will help, if you say, here, you are also an old man, the purple clay pot in your hand has been used for many years, it is estimated that your grandfather used it, look at your complexion, the stomach is too strong!" I saw that his teeth were scorched and his face was dark, and I concluded that he must have a stomach fire, and sure enough, Dr. Tea was shocked, looked me up and down a few times, put down the teapot, and arched his hand: "Good eyesight, the old man is indeed full of stomach fire, this teapot is also handed down by my grandfather, amazing, powerful." ”

I waved my hand and said, "It's a common little problem, you probably drink tea a lot, but you don't put tea leaves, right?" I took the purple clay pot, after opening it, there was really nothing in it, but there was a smell of tea, I smiled, "It's hard to say how long this pot has been used, but the aroma of tea has been seeped into the glaze, even if it is white water, it is the same tea fragrance, so you have been drinking like this." As everyone knows, everything is beneficial and harmful, although tea is good, some also hurt the stomach. You have a big stomach, and it stands to reason that you shouldn't drink this kind of tea. I think you should drink some dendrobium water to nourish your stomach. ”

"Disrespectful, disrespectful, not very old, but also a master!" Dr. Tea gave up his hand again and again, and then sighed, "I am a small business, I have no children and no daughters in my family, and an old wife is sick and crooked, I have no money in my hands, so I can only drink this purple clay pot of water every day to eliminate my sorrows." As he spoke, he sighed again and again.

I glanced at Hardy, Hardy understood, took out five taels of silver from his arms, put them on the table, and said, "Today is fate, we will meet, this bit of silver, take it back to see a doctor." Seeing this, Dr. Tea got up and shook again and again, and said, "Shangcha is really a life-saving bodhisattva, little old man is grateful to Dade!" ”

I smiled indifferently and said, "My husband sat down and talked, we are indeed on an errand, and if we want to know something, I hope my husband will tell me in detail." Dr. Tea hurriedly said: "Just ask, what I know, just say something!" ”

"Then tell me about yesterday's fight, are there any people you are familiar with, or, people you have seen?"

"Is this it?" Dr. Tea thought about it, "There were a lot of strangers here yesterday, it should be said that there are many people coming and going in this area because of the pigeon market and the Hou Ye Mansion, but I am next to the Hou Ye Mansion here, and people with some status usually come here." Although the dress is different, I can still tell it by my bearing. ”

"Most of these people who came yesterday are hardcover men, they are like you, walking around in front of the Hou Ye's mansion, and some of them even go straight inside to take a look. At that time, Lao Yu thought that these people were afraid that they were countrymen, and they had never understood the power of the daughter of the Hou Yefu. As he spoke, he suddenly looked at me, smiled secretly, and said, "I don't know what is wrong, the daughter of the Hou Yefu is beautiful, and her temper is even more terrifying, although it doesn't hurt our people, but when we see it, we are afraid to hide away." Recently, there is a new nurse in the Hou Ye's Mansion, who is about the same age as you, and is said to be a person who practices martial arts, and he is about a daughter. ”

"Yesterday was also a coincidence, the daughter traveled with the nursing home, and met these strangers, one of the beautiful young men, looking at it, was not a serious person, and stepped forward to talk, and was beaten by the nursing home, hehe!"

Dr. Tea said, he actually laughed, I glanced at Hardy, and I knew that he was talking about Ning Boyang, our eldest brother, although his face was hot, he still did not interrupt Dr. Cha's words, Dr. Tea continued: "As a result, that young man actually knew his daughter, and there was a misunderstanding, and we were all over the street, and we all felt pitiful when we looked at him. The daughter went out for something, and the young man seemed to be an official, so he asked for a plaster from Lang Zhong next door and put it on the sore spot. ”

"At this time, a few people dressed as rich businessmen came, their faces were serious, and they also walked around the Hou Ye's mansion, and the young man's people stared at them, surrounded them, and without saying a few words, they started to move, and the young man's people couldn't help fighting, and after a while, they fell to the ground, and the beautiful young man was hung up this time, and his face was covered with blood."

"Do you know any of those guys?" I hurriedly asked, Dr. Tea thought about it carefully, shook his head, and said, "It's indeed the first time I've seen them, they hardly said anything, and they're very strange!" ”

I was a little disappointed, and Ye Chengda said on the side: "When they leave, can there be people from the government chasing after them?" Dr. Tea said: "At that time, I really didn't see anyone from the government coming, but I remembered that the nursing home of the Hou Ye's Mansion seemed to know these people, and after saying a few words, they left." ”

My eyes lit up, and that's good news. As long as you find the nursing home and ask about it, you will know what these people do. Moreover, visiting the Hou Ye's Mansion is also something I am planning. So, I thanked Dr. Cha, led everyone out, and went straight to the Hou Ye's mansion.
