Chapter 96: Abrupt
Yang Zhi came out of the household department, and Xue Libao each led the horse on the street, the people who should have seen it have seen it, Hong Rirong is not healed from his injuries now, at least he has to rest for a day or two, he is not in a hurry to leave Zhongjing, and it is okay to go back to the inn now. The streets are full of people, after all, it is the capital of Liao, even if the situation in Xianzhou is critical, it still has not affected Zhongjing, most of the people are in good spirits, not smiling, but there is also a bit of Bianliang atmosphere.
Children walked through the crowd, on both sides of the street, there were all kinds of goods in the shops, a dazzling array of silks from the south of the Yangtze River, jewelry from the Western Regions, exquisite furniture, as well as perfume books, etc.; the hawkers' shouts, the bargaining of customers, and the laughter of people made Yang Zhi's mood a little relaxed, Yang Zhi saw a wine shop selling wine, walked over and asked: "Boss, did you brew this wine yourself, or did you come in from other places?"
"The goods from Cangzhou, Jeju and other places, the food climate on our side is not this taste, guest officer, you taste it. The boss is a real person, didn't say those gimmicks, scooped out a small half bowl of wine directly from the wine vat, handed it to Yang Zhi to taste, Yang Zhi slowly drank two sips, felt that the alcohol content was not very high, there was a feeling of mixing water in the wine; Yang Zhi simply drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and said to the boss: "Give me four jars of wine." ”
Out of the wine shop, Xue Libao put the wine on his horseback, didn't say anything, just followed Yang Zhi forward, Yang Zhi suddenly had a feeling of being targeted, this was purely an intuition. Yang Zhi pretended to be casual and looked around on the road of one or two hundred meters, but did not find this person, indicating that the other party was cautious;
Even if he didn't see people, Yang Zhi understood that this kind of mysterious feeling does not appear every time, especially now, the feeling is very strong. Yang Zhi saw that there was a shop selling beef in front of him, Lao Geng's beef shop, the guise was black and white, fluttering in the wind at the door, and the reflection of the white snow was very eye-catching; Yang Zhi originally bought wine and didn't plan to eat out, but now, Yang Zhi decided to wait.
Yang Zhi turned back to Xue Libao: "Xiao Xue, let's go back after eating at this beef shop, just bring them some beef." ”
Xue Libao doesn't care, as Yang Zhi's personal soldier, it's not Yang Zhi who has the final say, it's just that the old Geng beef shop is a little small, standing outside the store and looking over, there are only two tables against the door, and there is no curtain to block the wind; Yang Zhi and Xue Libao tied their horses to the pine tree at the door, and entered the store one after the other, Yang Zhi sat down in front of the table at the door facing the street, just to be able to take in the scene on both sides of the road.
"What's wrong?" Xue Libao is not stupid, he can be valued by Yelu Dashi, and he was sent to follow Yang Zhi, Xue Libao still has a few brushes, Yang Zhi smiled and shook his head and said: "It's nothing, it's too cold, let the boss serve two bowls of beef soup first, and then two catties of cooked beef, which should be a little hotter." ”
Xue Libao shouted the boss's instructions, Yang Zhi looked at the scenery outside, why would someone follow him? Xiao Fengxian's people wanted to plot against him, or the people of the Jin Kingdom and the Double Dragon Society wanted to take revenge, Zhongjing was a strange place to Yang Zhi, but for the Xiao family, they were in business for many years, and the manpower and potential strength they could mobilize were enough to make Yang Zhi crushed. Yang Zhi's residence is not a secret, and even his whereabouts in the next few days are not a secret, wouldn't it be more convenient to be outside the city except for himself, even if he tracks, he should also track Luo Lu and the others.
The beef broth is ready-made, the soup boiled with beef bones is heated over and over again on the stove, the time should not be short, the bone marrow and collagen in the beef bones are boiled into the soup, and it tastes mellow; the beef is cut into thin slices, it melts in the mouth, and the mouth is full of fragrance, Xue Libao also asked for two Hu cakes, and ate it with the soup. Although the taste is not as good as that of the Central Plains, but the things are still affordable, Yang Zhi listened to the sound of the boss cutting beef, and his eyes never left the street.
Everything is normal, no one has an unexpected stop, and even the eyes of passers-by have not glanced at this small shop, Zhongjing is the capital of Daliao after all, there are many places to eat and play, and the old Geng beef shop is really inconspicuous. It shouldn't be, Yang Zhi watched it for five minutes, and the pedestrians on the street basically changed, but he still didn't find it; could it be that he felt wrong, his intuition This thing is not scientific, there is no basis, and it is normal to make mistakes.
Yang Zhi drank most of the soup and ate a Hu cake, and the boss brought the freshly cut cooked beef; Yang Zhi still had no eyebrows, and for such a long time, even the customers in the nearby shops walked out, and Yang Zhi felt that he had entered a dead end. When Yang Zhi and Xue Libao finished eating the cooked beef, Yang Zhi had no other way or reason, so he stood up depressedly and paid, and Xue Libao weighed five catties of cooked beef and brought it back.
But when Yang Zhi turned out of the street, Yang Zhi felt that kind of vision again, Yang Zhi led the horse, walked slowly, and saw the character scene in his mind when he repeatedly observed the street, there must be something he missed, and that person should be in the crowd he saw. I didn't go far after turning the corner, and there was a quarrel on the side of the road in front of me, and it was two officials arguing with the person carrying the burden, which sounded like a big deal, but the person who carried the burden met the patrol officer and was discerning responsibility.
Yang Zhi laughed, the world is as black as a crow, there is no difference between the officials of Da Liao and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, the officials who were touched actually didn't want to arrest people, they just beat their words, and the people who wanted to carry the burden took out some money. Yang Zhi's smile suddenly froze on his face, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, the officer, yes, it was the officer, who was sitting in the beef shop just now, Yang Zhi saw five officials, and walked in front of the beef shop with a scrutinizing gaze.
The light is dark, because the officials generally have tasks, and even if they see it, they will not care about it, and it is a big deal to curse in their hearts; for example, Yang Zhi did not doubt the five officials before, but just glanced at them, at most it was the identification of their identities and the estimation of their martial arts. Yang Zhi turned around suddenly, according to Yang Zhi's skills, the movement was so fast, the street could not react at all, if it was a person who was following, he could not make a move, and if he moved, the person would be locked up.
Yang Zhi saw the person he was looking for, the flow of people remained the same, those who should be close approached, and those who were originally going to go far were still walking away, but the three officials were very abrupt in the flow of people, because they felt Yang Zhi's movements, the two officials on the side of the street were full of vigilance, and the officials walking next to a sedan chair smiled.
