Here you can not only see people going in and out of the city, but also notice the latest trends.
Without telling his brother who was on duty in Jingzhao Mansion, he knew that the group of evil-doing Mohists had been rounded up, and the soldiers delivering letters to Dali Temple ran several times a day——
This should be good news. If it were bad news, they wouldn't run so diligently.
Sure enough, along with the troops coming in and out, people from outside the city also brought the latest news.
"A mountain was surrounded and suppressed."
"Killed many Mo disciples."
"Thank God, it's finally peaceful."
When he heard this, Zhang Yuan, who was leaning against the wall, spat out the dead grass in his mouth and let out a sigh.
The city guards nearby heard it and laughed.
"Lao Zhang, are you envious?" they joked.
Everyone knows the origin of Zhang Yuan. He managed to catch one but was kidnapped by Mo Tu and was punished to guard the city gate.
"Envy? What are you envious of?" Zhang Yuan said with a bit of disdain and a bit of ridicule, "Are you envious that they didn't catch any of them?"
The guard next to him suddenly stared.
"What did you say!"
"Didn't you hear that?"
"Caught a bunch, a mountain."
Zhang Yuan glanced at them: "You really don't understand. We have arrested a mountain of Mo disciples. Are those Mo disciples?"
Huh? Isn’t it?
"It is said that the victims have all been identified." A guard said, "They are these Mohists."
"Old Zhang, didn't you arrest a Mo disciple once?" Another guard said disdainfully, "You act like you know everything."
The Mo disciple who was arrested once was also kidnapped.
What? I heard that many Mohists were arrested in Dali Temple. Are you not convinced? And you dare to point fingers like a senior.
Don't forget that you were demoted and punished.
The guards at the surrounding city gates looked at Zhang Yuan with mocking eyes.
Zhang Yuan didn't care: "You will know after dealing with Mo Tu once."
The other city gate guards wanted to say something else, but Zhang Yuan raised his chin forward.
"Here." He said, "If you don't believe me, ask Governor Huo, the Inspector General, who has arrested many Mo disciples."
Du Cha Si? Du Du Huo?
Hearing this title, the smiles on the faces of the several gatekeepers froze. Following Zhang Yuan's gaze, a dark cloud with golden light came in, and everyone's bodies immediately tensed up.
Du Cha Si is really here.
There was also a large black carriage, which was Huo Lian's carriage - although today's carriage was different from the past in that it had no doors.
There was no door in the carriage, and you could see Huo Lian sitting in it. His face couldn't be seen clearly in the dim light, which made it even more scary.
The crowded city gate became quiet instantly. No matter whether it was a car or a horse or on foot, no matter whether it was a commoner or a powerful person, no matter whether it was humiliating or arrogant before, everyone was quiet and silent at this moment and quickly avoided both sides.
The city gate guards stood aside, they would never question Du Cha Si.
But this time, when Huo Lian's car drove over, someone stood up and sighed.
"Captain Huo, wait a moment, we need to check after passing the city gate."
Who is so ignorant? The gate guards and the people staying aside were shocked.
The leader of the city gate guard broke out in a cold sweat. He looked for the sound and saw that the man was easy to find. Not only did he speak, he also stood up and blocked the way of the military guards.
Zhang Yuan!
"You..." The team leader cursed and rushed over to kick Zhang Yuan away.
No wonder he was thrown out by Jingzhao Mansion, it was indeed a disaster.
But someone spoke before him: "Hey, isn't this Zhang Yuan? I was just going to see if you were lazy and guarding the city gate well."
The foot that Team Leader raised fell heavily to the ground, seemingly spinning around in place.
Fortunately, no one paid attention to his actions.
Zhang Yuan looked at Zhu Chuan: "Don't worry, I'm doing my duty, the same goes for catching Mo disciples, and the same goes for guarding the city gate."
Zhu Chuan asked with a smile: "Is Zhang Bingwei going to investigate us?"
Although this kid was laughing, Zhang Yuan did not ignore the cunning flash in his eyes. If Zhang Yuan dared to say that he wanted to investigate, Zhu Chuan would definitely give him a good look.
"How is that possible?" Zhang Yuan leaned over and saluted, "The Inspector General can investigate us, but how can we investigate you."
Zhu Chuan chuckled, knowing that this rough guy was actually very cunning.
"Then why did you stop us?" he said angrily.
Zhang Yuan looked behind him: "Zhang Yuan has something to ask Governor Huo."
Zhu Chuan rolled his eyes: "You said I would ask for advice."
Zhang Yuan ignored him and asked directly: "Are the people captured in Dali Temple Mo disciples?"
Zhu Chuan shouted and was about to say something when Huo Lian spoke in the car behind him.
"No." he said.
Zhang Yuan smiled and saluted again: "Thank you, Commander." Get out of the way.
"Old Zhang, you owe us the Governor again. Next time the people we arrest have no place to put them, so we will put them here at the city gate for you to watch." Zhu Chuan said.
The thick black carriages and horses rolled by, and the officers, soldiers and people inside and outside the city gate breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey." Zhang Yuan shouted again, this time to the previous city gate guards, "Am I right? Do you believe it?"
The city gate guards were stunned. The team leader and others hurriedly asked what was going on. After hearing the previous conversation, everyone was speechless.
The look in Zhang Yuan's eyes also became more complex.
This guy is really sick and he dares to ask Huo Lian.
Huo Lian really answered.
Um.
Of course, this is not how Zhang Yuan looks in front of Du Cha Si.
But Du Cha Si is slapping Dali Temple in the face.
This matter should have been handled by Du Cha Si, but this time His Majesty actually handed it over to Dali Temple, and Dali Temple really caught the person.
All the rights of the Duchas come from the emperor. The emperor's needs are their foundation. If the emperor is no longer needed, their status will be shaken.
Huo Lian would definitely not be happy, and it would not be surprising if he said in public that the person caught in Dali Temple was not a Mohist.
Ha, now there is a lot of excitement. The people around the city gate guard are talking about Zhang Yuanshicai's behavior, whether the Mo disciple is real or fake, it doesn't matter.
Zhang Yuan had already leaned back against the wall, paying no attention to everyone's discussion and continued to stare at the people entering and exiting the city gate.
Perhaps because Du Cha Si passed by, the pedestrians in front and behind became much quieter, entry and exit were orderly, and the guards checked easily, until another group of people came, causing a commotion not far from the city gate.
"Madam is here -"
"Miss, are you back -"
Zhang Yuansheng glanced at it and knew at a glance that this was a scene of family reunion.
The carriages and horses covered in dust, the ladies wrapped in cloaks and luggage, the tired-looking ladies, and the joyful sisters met each other, holding hands and weeping for joy.
There are also a dozen servants who are also surprised to meet each other.
"Ah Qi, you are also waiting for Madam here."
"Miss Qixing has been waiting outside the city. She wants Madam to take a quick look when she arrives, so she can feel at ease."
"Okay, okay, go home quickly."
"The old lady and the lord are all waiting."
People who gathered together with the noise got into their cars.
It was a really big family. There were ten cars coming and three cars coming to pick them up. They passed through the city gate in a lively manner.
It was obvious that he had already greeted the city gate guard. The servant who looked like a butler said a few words to the team leader, handed over the paperwork, and the team leader waved his hand, and the carriages and horses passed by without stopping.
Zhang Yuan did not disobey the team leader's order and insisted on stopping the investigation. He leaned against the wall and stared at the people passing by. The curtains in the car could not block the laughing women. He lifted the car
The ladies and gentlemen who couldn't wait to see the scenery of the capital, the dignified and enthusiastic maids who were walking beside the cars, and the servants who were riding horses escorting the servants pulling large and small boxes of luggage——
Walking at the end was a separate carriage, with the curtain also raised. There were two young women sitting in it. They neither looked at the scenery of the capital nor reminisced about the past. Both of them looked down at their hands, which held silk cloth, and examined it carefully.
.
"It's just the last few parts that are finished."
"My lady will feel at ease after seeing it."
The sounds of two women talking and the carriage and horse passing by slowly.
Zhang Yuan withdrew his gaze and continued to stare at the people coming in and out of the city gate.
