Chapter 209 Dark Wave
It's just dawn, and Yunqi Mountain seems to be still shrouded in morning mist, gradually relaxing as the sun rises.
It is cold in the mountains, and the morning mist that spreads in the air soon turns into fine ice slag, rustling down the mountains, making this clear mountain shrouded in clouds and mist even more aloof and awe-inspiring.
At this time, the mountains were quiet, and there were almost no traces of people. Only an angry shout suddenly came from a thatched house hidden behind the green pines on the mountainside.
There are three thatched houses in a row. They look very ordinary. The branches as thick as a child's arm are densely circled outside the yard, and there is only a stone mill in the yard.
There are thatched roofs with dried chili peppers hung on the outer walls, and smoke can be seen curling up from the chimneys.
In the hall of the thatched house, the atmosphere was a little tense.
There were three or five people sitting on both sides of the tea table in the hall. The rooms on both sides of the hall were closed with cotton curtains, and occasionally there was some movement.
The roar that could scare away the birds just now came from the hall.
The two men and women with similar eyebrows in the main seat looked at the woman in the guest seat with unkind expressions.
This woman wore her hair in a simple bun, her eyebrows and eyes were covered by a veil. She wore a half-worn plain cotton skirt to cover up her figure. The handles of her gloves made of fine silk were tightly covered, and not a single thing was visible on her body.
accessories.
"My master said that the evening after tomorrow is when there will be a crowd of people, and that is a good time for you to leave Kyoto. At that time, you can leave with the order to leave the city."
The man on the main seat was very dissatisfied: "We are being used by your master. Not only have we lost soldiers and generals, but even our traces have been exposed! We have been trapped in the capital for almost half a year, and your master has just dismissed a few orders to leave the city?"
The order to leave the city he was talking about was a piece of paper with a pass stamp that was necessary to leave the capital.
Those who want to leave the capital must take their household registration certificate to the Household Registration Department of Shuntian Prefecture to obtain an exit order before traveling.
Therefore, when people from other provinces come to Beijing, the first thing they do is to take their documents to the Household Registration Department and report them. At that time, a clerk will take out a form and ask them to fill it out.
Those who come to Beijing from other provinces must indicate their name, gender, place of origin, livelihood skills, temporary residence address, the reason for coming to Beijing, their family ties, and the names and relationships of their companions.
In addition, they must leave personal appearance information and portraits in the household registration department.
The secretaries and junior officials not only described the people entering Beijing in detail in terms of height, fatness, head shape, hairstyle, face shape, facial features, birthmarks, moles and other characteristics.
After that, the fingerprints on both hands of those entering Beijing must be printed. Only when the fingerprints are clear and the skip is clear can they be considered qualified.
Later, there was a small official who was good at painting portraits. At the speed of half a cup of tea and six portraits, he painted a figure painting that seemed a bit abstract at first but was extremely vivid upon closer inspection as a reference.
After the entry is completed, make two copies.
The person in charge of the Household Registration Department will stamp the documents respectively.
Then, a sealed file is saved.
The other copy was made into a booklet with the file number stored on it, which was used as a temporary residence permit and distributed to people entering Beijing.
When the person leaves Beijing, he can use his temporary residence permit to obtain an exit order.
"The guests are joking. Although the order to leave the city is common, it is not something you can get now. Otherwise, you will not be trapped in this Yunqi Mountain for a long time."
The woman who was being questioned was not anxious at all, and said in a low voice: "The emperor is determined to find the grandson of Qi. Now that Kyoto is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, my master has taken the trouble to prepare a place like this.
Everyone, threatening my master is a small thing, and you getting out of the city smoothly is a big thing. You must have your own judgment on which one to choose."
When the man was about to say more, the woman next to him held his arm and asked the woman with a smile: "Auntie, the Great Chu Kyoto Lantern Festival is famous far and wide. We want to feast our eyes on it before leaving. Is it okay?"
The woman also chuckled several times: "As you wish, my master has prepared a small amount of fifty silver for you, please accept it... Although the money is not abundant, if you come to the capital again in the future, if you need it, my master
It will also help.”
The woman watched the other party slowly take out five silver ingots from her robe, and nodded her head in thanks without changing her expression.
When the other party hurriedly walked down the mountain and left, the half-bearded man in the thatched house suddenly stood up, looked at each other with the woman, turned around and lifted the curtain and entered.
When the two burly men who had been in the room came out, the man touched his cheek and suddenly pulled hard, half of his beard instantly fell from his hand.
Upon closer inspection, a half-red hibiscus face burst into a smile.
The woman from before chuckled, and the husband's unique low voice and magnetism were undoubtedly revealed.
"It's a small order to leave the city, but it has done a lot." The man disguised as a woman had a smile in his eyes, "The money is limited, but it can provide this kind of scholarly leisure place for us to live a stable life; the manpower is limited, but the information is well-informed, this kind of
You can also take out the order to leave the city at will... Yun family? Liang family? Queen Han's hand?"
As he spoke, he shook his head and waved his silver hairpin slightly: "Although the Crown Prince of Chu has been established, King Cheng and King Jing are not incompetent. I wonder what the origin of this unpredictable woman is?"
The girl who tore off her beard threw the beard aside carelessly, rubbing her face and snorting coldly: "Who cares who he is, the Emperor of Chu is old and seeing the sun is setting, there is no chance for me to take a breather."
At this point, she turned to the side with dissatisfaction: "I shouldn't have followed those people's wishes before, and I shouldn't have ventured into the capital of Chu! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been trapped here and couldn't move.
We are also members of the royal family, and are close relatives of our grandson. Even if the former Qi dynasty is destroyed, we are still members of the royal family. If anything happens to our grandson, you, my brother, should succeed us.
With their villainous hearts, they pushed us here, thinking that they could kill two birds with one stone! Look, even if we go back, our great-grandson will have someone to replace him. They want to make that five-year-old naughty boy as dependent on you as before.
, I’m afraid it will be even more difficult.”
The man waved his hands carelessly: "If you don't come out, how can you gather the people? How do you know the situation of Dachu? Since you have the order to leave the city, you will wait at the teahouse near the city gate. If you can, go out. We are at the teahouse outside the city.
Convergence.”
"What are you going to do?" The woman sensed something was wrong and hurriedly pushed his shoulder and asked, "Didn't we agree to withdraw together?"
The man shook his head with steady eyes: "The woman mentioned Wen Yuan Tower before, thinking there must be a noble person there, maybe... the plan that was not completed before can be completed the day after tomorrow, we can't come here in vain
!”
"Then let me do it!" The woman hesitated for a moment, her eyes firm, "You know what I am capable of, and you will find a way to take advantage of the chaos and leave when the time comes!"
Seeing the man's hesitation, the woman hurriedly said: "I have been able to leave smoothly in Ajong before, let alone here! Just listen to me!"
Hearing this, the man nodded sadly and guiltily for a long time.
…
On the fifteenth day, Sheng Yuan got up without waiting for dawn. No matter how much Ren Xiaoyao coaxed her, she refused to go back to sleep and insisted on going out to play.
But when she ran to the yard, she was a little dumbfounded.
It was dark outside at the moment, and the lights in the side yard where the main house and sister were were were also dark. Who was she going out to play with?
The depressed Sheng Yuan stomped her feet, turned around and rolled in the sea of pandas given by Mrs. Shi.
The system sat among the pile of concrete pandas, shook its head and sighed at Sheng Yuan, and even said to the main system:
[As a system, it’s really hard for me! With such a naughty, playful and unwilling host, I have a headache whether I will become a "Fifty Young Scholar" in the future!
Main system, as the former boss, would you like to take pity on me, an old employee, and exempt me from the interest? Or you can give me some psychological comfort fee!】
The main system with an expressionless face: "[Hehe.]"
If you have the ability to stand up from the panda rocking chair, you might even be able to deceive the government.
