Chapter 186 The military and civilians in the east and west cities are divided, and the military ruffians are filthy
Fengxian City is divided into two cities, east and west, the two cities are only dozens of miles apart, but they are very different! The east city is prosperous, hundreds of miles around, the population is million, standing by the river, the ferry wharf, prosperous and prosperous! While the west city is a military camp, a water military camp wall, the city wall is as high as a hundred zhang, engraved with all kinds of sigils, there are martial arts masters in the city across the sword and armor, back and forth to patrol! The west city is half land and half water, the city wall stretches into the Tongtian River for a long time, and the corner of the mast can be faintly seen through the towering city wall!
The four gates of the east city, the north gate is connected to the county government, can pass through the imperial capital, outside the south gate, is the bank of the Tongtian River, there are many wharf ferries, can cross the Tongtian River, so the flow of people at these two city gates is the most dense and lively!
The east city gate is dozens of zhang high, the moat is wide, several zhang deep, a pool is connected, there is a group of wolf's mouth fish in the pool, if there is a war, put the wolf's mouth fish into the moat, no one dares to swim across the moat, a group of wolf's mouth fish swarm, in a blink of an eye, an elephant can even eat up the bones!
There are more than a dozen soldiers standing at the city gate, but the Great Qin Dynasty has been in its heyday for 10,000 years, and there has been no war for more than 1,000 years. These people are accustomed to this, and the Great Qin is still martial. When some people entered the city, they would give each of the dozen or so soldiers a handful of peanuts and sweet dates or something. It's all the norm.
The person who guards the city today is a chief, called Chen Jun. The soldiers in charge of his subordinates were young men in a nearby village who defected to the navy, because they were ordinary soldiers who had never practiced martial arts, so they were assigned to the city guard camp, and they became a chief for a few years, and today he happened to be on duty at the east gate.
The east gate, also known as the poor gate, or the people's gate, is 365 days a year, and every day the people enter the city. Because most of the people living in the eastern part of the city live in the city, or poor people, even if those high-ranking officials and nobles come from the east of the city, they will choose to detour to the north gate to enter the city! There is a gathering area for the rich and businessmen, and the roads are clean and wide, but they are not like this side, they are all poor people, and the streets are not dirty, but they are not much clean.
It was nearly evening. According to the Qin law, the city gate should be closed after sunset, when the sun has been blocked by the tall city wall, and the shadow is pulled out for a long time. The people who had not yet entered the city hurried to the city.
Chen Jun looked at the passers-by and listened to the people entering the city. There was a scholar who rode a bull and killed the closed disciple of the Taiping Lord. It's really a shame! That Taiping Temple is more prestigious than the Yamen in Fengxian City, and the Guan Zhu Chong Xuan Dao is even more powerful. Even the city lord has to listen to what he says, even the sailors of Xicheng don't dare to provoke him, he can be said to be the first person in Fengxian City! In the realm of Fengxian Mansion, Chongxu Dao Chang is the undisputed Emperor of the Earth!
I heard that the scholar killed the beloved disciple of the Chongxu Daoist on the east galloping road, maybe he will enter the city through the east gate, in that case, as long as he secretly goes to report to the Chongxu Daoist, maybe he can be promoted by one liter!
However, until the sun went down, he did not see the scholar riding the bull, but he saw a few cows, but he knew those people, they were foot guests from several large villages, and they used ox carts to pull people into the city, and they made a lot of money every day, and the sergeant on duty at the city gate was not said to be familiar, but they were still very familiar!
There was no longer a trace of sunshine on the earth, and a melodious bell rang throughout the city, which was a chiming clock in the Taiping Temple, ringing at sunrise and at sunset, and all the city gates had developed the habit of opening and closing the city gates! Hearing the bell ringing in this life, Chen Jun shouted to the ten sergeants: "Close the city gate!"
The ten sergeants were shocked, and shouted in unison: "Close, gate, gate!" The voice came from afar, and those who were close to it hurriedly ran, this gate was in trouble, if they could get to the gate before it was completely closed, they might be able to enter the city.
Ten sergeants pushed the city gate hard, just before the city gate was about to close, "bang" a hand pressed on the city gate, no matter how hard the sergeant tried, he couldn't push the slightest!
"Ladies and gentlemen, can you let me enter the city?" the voice resounded in the ears of the sergeants, as if in their ears.
Chen Jun saw that he alone could beat the strength of all the sergeants he said, but he was not surprised, after all, people from the rivers and lakes often enter the city, and he has seen a thin martial arts master, and the iron gate that locks the city gate can be lifted by one person!
Chen Jun was overjoyed, but shouted quietly on his face: "Open the door and let him in." The sergeants pulled back the gate to leave a gap large enough, and the scholar came in with the oxen in hand, thanked the sergeants, and departed.
Chen Jun waved his hand to a young man squatting on the side, it was a ruffian in the slum who stole the money bag of a rich kid at the North City Gate two days ago, and had been hiding at the East City Gate where the rich would not come at all for the past two days. The ruffian's family, the ruffian saw Chen Jun greeting him, hurriedly ran over, and said with a smile: "Chen Tou, you have something to order!"
Chen Jun took out dozens of copper coins from his arms, counted the ten in the hands of the ruffian, and said: "Chaojianglong, you go and keep an eye on someone for me, these ten eldest sons are rewards, if they are done, there will be twenty eldest sons!"
The ruffian Chaojiang Long shook the eldest son in his hand, stuffed it into his arms happily, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Chen Tou, you still don't know my ability? As long as you enter the city, there is no one I can't find! Say, who is that person?" Mingjiang Long patted his chest, looking like you can rest assured that I am doing things.
Chen Jun put away the remaining copper coins and said, "That person is a young scholar, leading a green ox, followed by a very cute little girl, you go and inquire about his whereabouts, just tell me quickly!"
"Okay, Chen Tou, don't worry!" After Mixed Jianglong finished speaking, he turned around to leave, but Chen Jun reached out and pressed on his shoulder.
Chaojianglong turned around, and Chen Jun said solemnly: "You have done this matter well for me, don't think about what you have to think about it, that person was ordered from above, don't ask me about the news from some of your fox friends and dog friends! Also, what you stole last time was the son of our camp leader, if you give me a trick, be careful!"
Chao Jianglong was shocked in his heart, and said: "Chen Tou, you can rest assured! How dare I not do what you ordered." ”
Chen Jun stared at the mixed river dragon, and after a long while, the mixed river dragon's forehead was sweaty, and then he let go of his hand and waved him away. (To be continued.) )
