Shangjing City,

At the end of the day,

"Sell rock sugar gourds, sweet and sour rock sugar gourds. ”

"Soy milk fritters buns, buns that have just come out of the cage. ”

Hawkers walking the streets and alleys have begun to shout on the long streets, and the shops on the street have also begun to solicit business.

On closer inspection, it is a little different......

"Old Wangtou, have you heard?"

"Just the morning before yesterday, a real dragon was born in Liangzhou!"

An old man sat by the well and wiped the sweat on his head, this person is old and has to shed a few drops of sweat to carry water, and then he said.

"Hey, it's going crazy in the market. ”

"I heard that the dragon's horns are like deer, the head is like a camel, the eyes are like rabbits, the neck is like a snake, the belly is like a mirage, the scales are like fish, the claws are like eagles, the palms are like tigers, and the ears are like ox......"

The old king put down the bucket and made an exaggerated comparison, although he had not seen it with his own eyes, but listening to the literal description could stimulate the imagination of the people in the market.

"Let's also open our eyes, in the past, I went to the restaurant and teahouse to listen to books, and I didn't see and listen to it so carefully, this matter has been spread clearly, tens of thousands of people have seen it with their own eyes, I'm afraid it can't be faked. ”

Lao Li Tou sighed, looking at the north from afar, there was some embarrassment in his eyes.

"We've heard people say that people have heard the roar of a dragon for more than 50 miles, and in my opinion, this is also true nine times out of ten. The old king knocked on his legs, and he was a little distracted.

"The truth passed down from generation to generation, the true dragon was born and returned to heaven, and now this dragon is out of Liangzhou, I'm afraid it's luck!"

"After all, my Wang family has also lived in this capital for seven generations, and it can be regarded as a real person in Beijing at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and he should have his heart to the court, but every time he thinks of what the court has done over the years, he feels uncomfortable. ”

The old king sighed, these days the court taxes are a lot heavier, and the people in the city can be exempted from servitude, but it is a large amount of silver, and he is seventy or eighty years old, and he should take care of his old age, but every time he thinks of his son and daughter-in-law, his face is full of sadness, and he is a little worried.

"Who says it's not, my old Li family has also stayed in Shangjing for several generations, and now it's getting worse and harder. ”

Lao Li Tou shook out a few tobacco leaves from the cigarette pouch, stirred them and put them into the pipe, took a puff of Meimei, and a few white cigarettes rose.

"You said that the army of the imperial court could really pacify Liangzhou?"

The old king said abruptly.

"I can't tell, if you look at the forbidden army that works the kang on weekdays, you want them to draw knives to fight with the world's first-class iron cavalry, isn't this?"

"It's not that I'm bragging, I'm twenty years younger, and I can fucking put down two of those soldiers. ”

Lao Li shook his cigarette ash and sneered.

"You said that the 300,000 iron horsemen in Liangzhou, if they really break into the capital, what will we ordinary people do?"

The old king picked up a handful of well water, and the entrance was a little sweet and sweet.

"Fuck it, maybe the marquis enters Beijing, we can pay less taxes, and whoever sits in the emperor's position is not sitting. ”

"Anyway, the old man, I can see it, whether it is surnamed Li or Xu in this world, it can't stop us, even if he Xu Wu enters Beijing, can he still get along with me, a bad old man?"

"Gone, I'm still waiting for water to wash and cook at home. ”

Lao Li put away the cigarette stick and said no more, picked up the flat pole and walked home.

The old king looked at the deep well water and said bitterly.

"Old man. ”

Just when Lao Wang was in a daze, an old man wearing court clothes and an extraordinary temperament patted him on the shoulder and whispered.

"You are?"

The old king looked at the person in front of him carefully, and his eyes were a little suspicious, he didn't recognize the court clothes, but he could see that this person was really not an ordinary person.

"Old man, my surname is Qin, there are some things I don't understand, and I have to bother the old man to interpret them. Qin Qingtang smiled, and a small man behind him stepped forward, and an ingot of twenty taels of snowflake pattern silver fell into the hands of the old king.

"Nobleman, this ......"

The old king was stunned, a brick in the capital can hit a few seven-grade officials, he still knows how to advance and retreat, what can be said and what can not be said, although this silver is tempting, he has to have a life.

"The old man's surname is Qin!"

Seeing this, Qin Qingtang spoke again.

"Surname Qin?"

The old king didn't turn a corner for a while.

"Mingqingtang. ”

Qin Qingtang said leisurely.

"The surname is Qin, the name is Qingtang, Qin Qingtang!"

The old king whispered softly, when the prime minister Qin Qingtang, he was so frightened that a spirit under his feet almost fell into the well, and when the prime minister of the dynasty, Lord Qin, was the largest one or two in the capital city full of golden kings, how could he not be surprised.

"Your honor, please say whatever the old man knows, and never deceive. The old king knelt down on the ground, and the ingot of snowflake silver had been placed on the edge of the well, and he didn't want to pick it up, for fear that it was money to buy his life.

"When did the birth of the true dragon of Liangzhou begin?"

Qin Qingtang asked intently, he walked all the way to the city full of squirming discussions, last night I received a secret report about the anti-thief emperor, today the court is to deal with it, but I didn't think that when I woke up, the wind had blown most of the capital, and the news of the original blockade was that the people of Pingtou could also talk about it vividly.

"I can't say where the old man came from, but there are people discussing this matter in the Qinglou of the Tavern and the Goolan Washer. ”

"Now it seems that the whole city knows about it. ”

The old king bowed his head and said, not daring to look directly at Qin Qingtang's gaze.

"How's the wind going in this market?"

Qin Qingtang asked intently, this kind of news was reluctant to send his subordinates to ask, because no matter how he asked, all the people in Shangjing would inevitably have their hearts set on the imperial court, and even if his henchmen asked such heart-wrenching words, they would inevitably be mixed with their own words.

"Do you want to hear the truth or the scene?"

The old king hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his head to look at the noble man in front of him, who he had rarely met in his life, and spoke.

"What about the scene?"

"The people in the city naturally wish to exterminate the thief as soon as possible, and the people in the city should live and work in peace and contentment as soon as possible, they should have children, they should do business and trade, and they will not delay us bad old men to brag and fart, so as not to worry all day long. ”

When Lao Wangtou's words fell, the entourage beside Qin Qingtang had a cloudy face, and his eyes were so gloomy that they were about to drip water.

"Let it be, don't be presumptuous!"

Qin Qingtang glared at his entourage and shouted.

"Old man, what are you really talking about?"

"To be honest, I shouldn't say anything, no matter who sits in that position, it has nothing to do with our ordinary people, if my grandfather's generation is fair to the court, and the government occasionally does something real, we ordinary people can still get by, if anyone dares to rebel, no need to say more from the court, we all carry knives and fight with the thief. ”

"We don't want much, we just want to live in peace. ”

"But at the moment, this form, alas, how to make our hearts to the court, the old man put himself in his shoes, the war is fighting, and the people will not be able to catch the capital, and the days of emptying the family so that a little silver can be fooled in the past, I am afraid that most of the people in the city will look on coldly, and some of the people are afraid that they will wait for the Liangzhou iron horse to enter the city for a new atmosphere.

When the old king's voice fell,

Qin Qingqing's body trembled slightly.

Walking out of the alley, the attendant sighed,

I'm afraid that my own adults will lose their temper when they go back to the house today, so I don't want to do so much, so I'd better wait for the adults to enter the palace and have a court meeting.

"Yo, the master is here. ”

The guy at the steamed bun shop was very enthusiastic and handed out two steaming fresh meat buns.

The entourage threw out six cents and was about to turn around, his own adults were used to eating the food of this Zhang Ji bun shop, although he was a little angry now, he couldn't be wronged.

"Master, I'm sorry, the price of buns has risen, four cents a piece. ”

"Master, don't think about it too much, we are also a small business, I broke my leg today, and all the grain stores in the city have risen, and we can't do anything about it. The man rubbed his hands together and said with some embarrassment.

The entourage frowned slightly, and he didn't want to care, so he threw out two pennies and walked to his adult's side.

Qin Qingtang withdrew his eyes and took a deep breath,

The bun in his hand has been pinched out of his fingerprints, and he gently bites the usually soft and delicious bun and loses its former aroma, stuck in his throat and can't swallow it.
