Chapter 6: When to Return West

Yangzhou city in spring is full of atmosphere, all things revive and a hundred flowers are vibrant, although it is not like the north, spring and winter are like a different world, thousands of miles of frost, thousands of miles of snow drifting, and the winter in the south is also more euphemistic. Spring goes to the summer solstice, but it is a different style, looking like Yangzhou City is encased in smoke and water from a distance, and at this moment the rain gradually stops and reveals his original appearance.

The evening breeze in early summer was still a little cool, and I walked out of the yard after dinner. It was not the first time he had gone out, and the old man had not even intervened in his actions. is much harsher to others, which may be the reason for his relatively high ranking in Tianyi's opinion.

did not go out through the gate, but after turning around in the courtyard, he stepped on a rockery in the pool and crossed the fence and quietly landed. Then he walked in the direction of Fang City, Jingguo heavy agriculture and heavy business, which allowed the people to get better material supplies to a certain extent. In the first year of the establishment of Jingguo, Emperor Jing lifted the curfew of the previous dynasty. As soon as this order was issued, it was vigorously blocked by the ministers. Even Taiwei insisted that it could not be canceled, and Emperor Jing insisted on doing so, and in just a few years, people could see the results of this decree.

This is an era of laughing at the poor and not laughing at prostitutes, but they look down on those big businessmen, high or low, and it is most comfortable to hang in the middle. However, Emperor Jing vigorously promoted commerce and encouraged the common people to do business, but landed peasants were not allowed to do business. Merchants had to pay more taxes, which not only improved the standard of people's livelihood, but also expanded the national treasury. I have to say that this Jingdi has a different vision.

The sun has not yet completely set in the west, and the market is already brightly lit. All sorts of people also went out of their houses and went from market to market. Tianyi walked to a shop that sold cooked food.

"You're here, the guest hasn't seen you for a while! When I first saw him, he was even more childish, but his eyes were not to be underestimated, and it had been two years, and he would basically come every once in a while. And it's the same every time you order something.

Seeing that the young man nodded slightly, his gaze drifted into the distance.

"Okay, objectively, I'll cut and pack it for you!" I saw him take out half a roast chicken from the counter, and cut it fluently with a knife in his right hand, very fast and each piece of the same size, and it was cut after a while, and he pulled a piece of oiled paper with his left hand and wrapped it carefully. He took out a small jar of wine from the counter and handed it to Tianyi.

"The half of the roast chicken and a jar of rice wine that you want from the guest officer are ready, a total of fifteen yuan."

"The money is for you, boss, may I ask, who are those people over there?" Pointing to the place along the sky, the boss saw several officials wearing official uniforms and holding long swords, which were different from ordinary officials. At this time, they are asking people one by one.

"You're talking about them, it is said that they came from Kyoto, belonging to the adults of Dali Temple, they came this time to investigate the murder case on the fifteenth day of the first month, and the one who died was the youngest son of Qingzhou Mu. Originally, this case was the responsibility of the Yangzhou county lieutenant, but he had no clue for several months, Qingzhou Mu was furious on the spot, and directly broke one of the county lieutenant's legs, but he also had no right to ask about the case in Yangzhou, and finally invited people from Dali Temple to come over to collect evidence and investigate. ”

Tianyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and said, "I see that those adults are very stylishly dressed, and they are very big, and they are really insightful, boss, then I will leave first, I wish you a prosperous business." ”

"Okay, let's be hospitable!" Looking at Tianyi who was walking away, the boss wondered a little in his heart, this child is still very young, but how old-fashioned he speaks, and he does things in a proper manner. Looking back at his own child, the grade was older than the boy, and at this time he was still lying on the ground catching crickets, and he was covered in mud, so he didn't fight anywhere.

Tianyi walked around the city with roast chicken and wine, thinking about whether there was any trace of the case he had done as he walked. I thought about it for a long time to no avail, but the destination has arrived. It is a deserted temple that is said to have been blessed with incense from before here, and it is said that Kannon was enshrined in it. It is very effective, and there is an incident that happened later, that is, the county lieutenant has no heirs, and he came here to ask for a child, which is strange to say that the county lieutenant Cao has a concubine in the main room and three rooms, but he has been married for more than ten years but has no children. When I heard that the goddess of mercy in this temple was very spiritual, Cao Xianwei took his four wives to burn incense, and worshiped once a month for a year, but his stomach still did not react, and he gave a lot of incense money. Later, it has been rumored that Cao County Lieutenant was infertile because he had done too many evils, and when the news reached the ears of this Cao County Lieutenant, he led people to demolish this temple in a fit of anger, and left a notice that it was not allowed to be built, which led to the oily monks of a temple, and within a few months, all of them lost weight. Later, the monks here were all gone, and it was abandoned ever since. Over time, it became a paradise for beggars.

Tianyi came here to see a person, this temple has a total of three doors, the door on the left when the incense is at its most prosperous, it is usually rubbing shoulders, that is the door for tourists and pilgrims to walk, and the middle one is called the empty door, only monks can walk. At this moment, Tianyi entered through the middle door, and he didn't believe in this, so he didn't have any taboos. After entering the door is a large scale of the release pool, there is a small wooden bridge in the middle, the two sides are carved with exquisite lotus patterns, there are a few budding lotus flowers in the release pool, the delicate and dilapidated scenery around is completely different, through the pool to a large hall in front of the letter, it is written ''treasure hall, the first two words are too bad to see clearly, this temple has also been dilapidated, the four walls are also upside down, once it rains heavily, it will definitely rain lightly inside.

Tianyi walked in without pushing the door, and at this time, there were people called Hanako talking in twos and threes. When I saw someone coming in, and it was a child, I couldn't help but feel my appetite when I saw someone coming in, and he was still holding the wine and the scent of roast chicken in his hand. A few ill-intentioned people instantly surrounded him. Tianyi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the man in the corner, but when he was about to pass, he was surrounded by several beggars.

"Get out!"

"The kid is still quite crazy, hurry up and hand over the silver taels on your body and the food in your hands, otherwise... Hey. ”

Tianyi heard the beggar's threat, touched his earlobe with his right hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "How about it?"

"Otherwise, you toast and don't eat and drink!" After speaking, several people reached out to Tianyi, and Tianyi swept sideways with his right leg, exerting force on the left beggar's leg. Hearing only a crisp sound, the beggar flew five meters away, hugging his legs and rolling. At the same time, the left hand clenched his fist and struck the beggar on the right on the waist with a 'bull top', and the beggar also flew out a few meters away, without a sound. In the end, only the beggar who was shouting before was left in front of him.

"Big brother!!No, no, no, uncle!Please let go of the little one, it's the little one who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, as long as you let me go, I'll be a cow and a horse for you," after speaking, he knelt down and said with a handful of snot and tears, and crawled towards Tianyi, because Tianyi had not yet developed, so that the beggar knelt down and he was so tall, saliva and snot were about to splash on the face of the sky, and there was a chill in his heart. But he didn't say anything, just looked at the beggar quietly.

When to return west

"As long as you let me go, I will definitely be the first to look forward to you in the future! I have been fatherless and motherless since I was a child, and I was born with congenital heart deficiency. The crying was so sad that the listener was sad and the hearer shed tears, and finally came to Tianyi and reached out to hold Tianyi's left hand.

Then his right hand took advantage of the tears to wipe his tears and took out a dagger from his waist, and the original sadness suddenly turned into cold, like a poisonous snake, revealing sharp fangs. Towards Tianyi's heart, straight into it. Tianyi's expression hasn't changed since the beginning, as if he was watching a clown perform. When he bared his fangs, it was time for him to take a curtain call, his right hand holding food and drink, and his left hand being held tightly. I saw Tianyi's left hand turn his fist and turn his arm, and then pushed forward, and his palm was lightly imprinted on the beggar's chest, and suddenly the beggar flew out more than seven or eight meters, and at the same time grabbed the dagger in his hand before pushing the beggar away, and the iron dagger was like a flying butterfly on Tianyi's fingertips.

Step by step, he walked towards the beggar, who fell to the ground and spat blood. Seeing Tianyi approaching him step by step, he sincerely begged for mercy and knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Tianyi threw the dagger out casually, and he was no longer looking at him. Continue to the corner. When the day was gone, the other beggars had the courage to come up and find that the beggar was too dead to die, because the dagger was impartial and straight into his heart.

Walked to the corner and sat down next to a middle-aged man, handed over the roast chicken and rice wine in his hand, and then picked up a wooden stick to gently stir the fire in front of him. From time to time, sparks flew out, and the man was not polite to eat and drink as soon as he took it. After eating and drinking, the man wiped his hand on his body and said, "Have you ever heard of the Hundred Hands Slaughter?"

Tianyi shook his head, "As soon as the Hundred Hands Tu came out of the rivers and lakes, he single-handedly slaughtered an army of 100 people of the imperial court, in fact, there were not 100 people, but there were 50 people, which can be said to be a shocking result." Later, he said to the outside world that it was a team of 100 people, in order to increase his fame, even so he still failed to be on the 'land list', and since that time, he has had a hysteria, that is, the impulse to kill people and see blood, and after continuing to kill dozens of people, he was wanted by the imperial court, and finally died in the hands of two Praetorian Guards who wanted him. ”

Tianyi looked at the man with some confusion, not understanding the intention of saying these words, the man did not continue, found a comfortable position to lean, took out a book from his arms and threw it to Tianyi. "You go back and bring me a whole chicken next time, half a chicken is not enough to stuff your teeth!"

The meat on Tianmi's face twitched, and he said in his heart, what kind of teeth are you, half a chicken can't be stuffed. Then he said in his heart, how can I get more silver.

I got up with the book and was about to leave, and I vaguely heard the man singing something, "Who to borrow wine from? Send me a drunk, drink the water of long-hatred? The water flows eastward, after all, people are not, when will they return to the west!"
