I walked all the way, bought some snacks by the way, ate all the way and walked all the way, and my life was very comfortable.

In the end, it is the imperial capital, the face of a country, and even the small vendors on the street are dressed very energetically, and there are few beggars.

Beggar......

I don't know if these little beggars have anything to do with the beggar gang.

No matter how you look at it, you can't tell the truth.

And these beggars, except for begging, have no other small actions, otherwise Xu Yang doesn't mind using his brains.

Passing by a restaurant, Xu Yang happened to be a little hungry, so he went in and ordered some wine and food.

There are a lot of people around, some honest people who leave after eating without making a sound, and some who are chatting high-mindedly, Xu Yang listened to them chatting while eating.

To say that the masses in the imperial capital are really from ancient times to the present, they are born with the genes of Kan Dashan, and a few people have not drunk a few glasses of wine, so they talked about poetry and poetry from the three emperors and five emperors, and talked about life ideals from the universe to the wilderness, but they didn't mention the content that Xu Yang was interested in.

Suddenly, a drunkard at the table on the left made Xu Yang a little interested in what he was talking about.

The drunkard is a resident of Dongmen Guazi Hutong, and usually makes money by helping people to be brokers, which is commonly known as the tooth line in the "car and boat shop, innocent should be killed".

Listening to him, recently, many officials and nobles have been collecting some idle grain from the people, and as long as the price is not too much, they have all closed their positions.

Hearing this, some people who are sensitive to the current situation have already shouted loudly, such an action, could it be that an army is going to be conscripted again?

You must know that since the current emperor Qianlong came to power, there must be a war almost every one or two years, big and small, such as the Pingmiao Rebellion, the Sichuan Rebellion, the Fujian Rebellion, the Jinchuan Rebellion, the Tibetan Rebellion, and so on.

A year before, he also sent the general Yue Zhongqi to quell the Xichuan Tusi Rebellion, just a few months later, and he wanted to raise troops again?

There was an uproar in the restaurant.

Although the people of the imperial capital are often far away from these places of rebellion, every time they raise troops, the imperial court will not collect more taxes, which is called "quelling chaos", but often after one year of collection, it will continue to be collected in the next year.

For these ordinary people, whoever levies more taxes is a traitor, although they dare not directly criticize the current politics, nor dare they dare to mention the saint in vain, but those bigwigs of the military department are all scolded bloody.

Xu Yang looked at these excited people, and his mood was also a little heavy.

Qianlong, a man who was so happy, was the emperor for 60 years, and the solid foundation laid by his grandfather Kangxi and his father Yongzheng was defeated, so that after he abdicated, his son Jiaqing took over a mess, even if he copied the family property of Da Greedy and Shen, it was still impossible to avoid the decline of the Qing Dynasty.

Even though the people were so opposed to the reckless use of force, Qianlong continued to increase his army in the Dzungar department, and would raise troops to attack in the next few years.

At the same time, Qianlong was still thinking of returning to the Xinjiang tribes, and sent the general Zhaohui to lead the troops to crusade.

The water can carry the boat, or it can capsize the boat, the people can't live anymore, and the country can still prosper?

"Sad Qin and Han meridians,

The palace and all the rooms were made of soil.

Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer. ”

A small song of the Yuan Dynasty talks about the survival of dynasties in the world and the suffering of the people.

How can the people of the Qing Dynasty not prosper and die?

At this time, the crowd is excited, but it seems that most people are just making noise for a while, and life will go on.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the restaurant to calm down.

After all, at this time, it was still in the prosperous era of Kangqian, and the people were far from the point of not having enough to eat, even if they had some complaints, they could vent them, and the anger in their hearts would be almost vented.

A few diners who had finished eating checked out and left angrily, and not long after, a few more people walked in.

Others didn't notice anything, but Xu Yang instinctively felt that the person who came in was not good.

At first, he was a middle-aged man with a clear face, about forty years old, with luxurious clothes and extraordinary bearing, obviously not rich but expensive.

It is strange for such a wealthy idler to enter such a low-grade small restaurant, but this is not the point.

The middle-aged man was escorted by two attendants on the left and right, and an old man was followed behind him, and these three people were the focus of Xu Yang's attention.

The first two are not very old, their temples are bulging, and they can't hide their murderous aura, they are obviously people with high internal skills and decisive killings on weekdays.

And the old man in the back, Xu Yang couldn't see through it.

Yes, it is not possible to see through it at all.

The old man was thin and short, but there was a subtle light in his eyes, and his hands were thick and bone-jointed, and he looked like a man with kung fu in his hands.

However, this person's temples were not as high as the previous two, and there was no murderous aura on his body.

If this person has never cultivated internal strength or killed anyone, he has already manifested his kung fu and returned to his roots.

If it is the latter, I am afraid that this person's martial arts are not inferior to Zhang Zhaozhong, or even more terrifying than Zhang Zhaozhong.

Those hands, decisively betrayed him, he was definitely a master of the masters.

However, this person seemed to be just the bodyguard of the middle-aged man with a noble temperament in the lead.

There will be no more than three people in the world who can use masters of this level as guards.

And the person who can appear in this wine shop, it should be that person.

I didn't expect that if I walked around, I could actually meet the supreme among people.

I'm really lucky.

Xu Yang has no interest in getting acquainted with each other, you know, dealing with the king, every minute is like hanging his head around his neck, the so-called companion is like a companion tiger.

It doesn't matter if you offend the prince, if you offend the emperor, I'm afraid that my life is a little dangerous.

However, when the four of them entered the restaurant, they went their separate ways, the middle-aged man and the old man found an empty table and sat down, while the two young guards stood on the left and right, standing in the middle of the store, with a faint posture of not letting people in or going out.

What's going on?

The middle-aged man ordered a pot of wine and drank it casually, although the old man also sat down, obviously not suitable for this treatment, a pair of small eyes that flashed brightly, looking around unnaturally.

Xu Yang looked at it for a while, and when he saw the old man's eyes looking at him, he turned his gaze away and drank wine.

To say that the food in this restaurant is good, with the standard of three or four-star hotels in later generations, but this wine is really bad.

Xu Yang frowned and put down the cup in his hand.

casually took out a small bottle of five-flower brew from the space.

When I saw Wuhua Brew, I remembered that half of my carload of consignment wine should have been sold out, right?

It's not a bad time now, but it's not a good idea if someone finds out something wrong with them from this wine.

Remember to go and get the money back.

I opened the bottle, found a clean glass, poured a glass, and poured myself a drink.

"Huh?" the middle-aged man suddenly stopped his movements and sniffed.

Wuhua Brewing is indeed a good wine, after opening the bottle, the fragrance is overflowing, not to mention that Xu Yang himself is still drinking.

The middle-aged man's table was also very close to Xu Yang, and the aroma of wine quickly reached him.

With the dignity of a middle-aged man, how could he be interested in a wine that even Xu Yang couldn't drink.

At this time, the pleasant aroma of wine wafted in, and the middle-aged man smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xu Yang.
