Xia Xun quietly entered Zhuozhou City without notifying the government. He only stayed in an inn and then sent a guard with a calm temperament to go to the prefect's Yamen to inquire about the situation. The other guards took leave and went to the city to play by themselves. [Xia Xun]
Xun also left a few guards with him, waiting until the shift changed in the evening, and then asked them to go have a good time.
Xia Xun ordered hot water to wash up and take a shower. He came out feeling refreshed. Seeing that the guard who had gone to the government office to inquire about the news hadn't come back yet, he changed into a light and comfortable robe and led a few personal guards out of the door.
Before Xia Xun, the most annoying thing was that the big shots would crowd around each other when they went out, and the streets would be blocked. The rarely seen policemen were everywhere, and all the red lights along the way were out of order.
He was surrounded by crowds of people just to wait for the people's servant to whiz by, so he didn't like to show off unless he had to. He could relax both physically and mentally by strolling here, so why bother disturbing the people.
Zhuozhou is a famous historical city. Since the establishment of Zhuo County in the Qin Dynasty, Zhuo County in the Han Dynasty, and Fanyang County in the Wei Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms, it can be said that it has produced many famous people until today. Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Fei, the Marquis of Han Huan, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and Lu Lu, a famous official of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Zhi, the Sixth Patriarch Zen Master Huineng, the Northern Wei Dynasty geographer Li Daoyuan, the famous Tang Dynasty poets Lu Zhaolin, Jia Dao, etc. The most famous of them is naturally the Lu family with five surnames and seven hopes in the Tang Dynasty.
In places with many scenic spots, people often line up their seats to create eight or ten sceneries. Zhuozhou is no exception. There is also the saying of eight sceneries here, such as needles to dredge the rain, mulberry trees in the spring, autumn breeze in the moon pool, Hu Liang's dawn, and dragons.
There were lush green hills, clouds rising in the valley, sunset on the winding slopes, clear snow on Fangshan Mountain, etc. As soon as Xia Xun was walking in the city, there was an idle man named Huang Si'er. He knew from his appearance that he was from out of town, so he quickly stepped forward to flatter him.
Talking about these sights one by one, I hope to attract guests to visit them, and how much money will be spent on them.
Xia Xun also found it interesting to hear this. He knew that since the Tang and Song Dynasties, there had been many idle men who were engaged in various miscellaneous jobs in the city, but he did not know that they were also doing the job of tour guide. Hearing that Huang Si was spitting
After talking for a while, until his mouth was dry, Xia Xun wanted to go, but some of these scenery were beautiful only at the corresponding time or climate, and some were dozens of miles away from the city. Xia Xun just wanted to
Relax for a moment, since he was not willing to go so far, so he asked someone to give Huang Si some money and sent him away with a smile.
As soon as Huang Si saw that this patron was so generous, he left without hesitation, and said: "Since the guest doesn't want to leave the city, there is some scenery nearby. There is a temple in the northeast of the city. There are two high towers in the temple.
It is called the Twin Towers of Clear Smoke. It is said that these twin towers were built by a pair of skilled hands, and it took only one night of work. When viewed on a clear day, it looks like there are several streaks of green smoke from the top of the tower rising straight into the night sky."
Xia Xun smiled and said: "I heard it's so magical from what you said, so let's go and have a look."
In fact, the pagoda was built in the Liao Dynasty. The surrounding scenery can be seen, but it is not as good as what the idle man said. This is the case with all the scenery in the world. Seeing it a hundred times is not as good as hearing it once, listening to it, and reading it in a book.
Up there, it's like a fairyland on earth, but until you get there, it's nothing more than that.
Fortunately, Xia Xun was just here to relax, but he was not picky. He listened to what Huang Si said and just wandered along with a smile. Huang Si saw that this young master was so talkative, so he was originally accompanied by several people.
The sturdy man was still a little afraid, but at this moment his mind started to act.
Seeing that it was noon, Huang Si then said: "Master, would you like to have some food here? There are some snacks here, which have a unique flavor."
Xia Xun's men were all big-bellied men, and they were already a little hungry. Xia Xun also felt a little hungry, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you can lead the way. As long as the food is delicious, I will give you more."
tips."
Huang Si couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this, and led the way with all his might, leading Xia Xun to a restaurant in various twists and turns.
The restaurant was not big, and there were not many people there during the meal. It was very deserted. Xia Xun frowned unconsciously, feeling vaguely uncomfortable. He didn't want to show off here. To be honest, there were many delicious and delicious restaurants.
In fact, the dishes are just for selling, and they are not as good as the unrefined street snacks in the mouth. Xia Xun really wanted to taste the local flavor, but when he arrived at a restaurant, there were not many customers. I am afraid that this food
the taste of……
When the shopkeeper saw the guests, he was very enthusiastic. He quickly gave up his seat, poured a few bowls of warm tea that had lost its taste, and then politely asked Xia Xun to order. The recipes were hanging on the counter, one after another.
The names of the dishes were mostly very elegant. The few people Xia Xun brought were all strong men. They couldn't eat without the food. Xia Xun actually ordered several dishes. The shopkeeper was very happy and excited.
I quickly put on my apron and went. Look at that, the shopkeeper is also the chef.
Huang Si did not dine with them, and the guards would not let him serve. Huang Si went to the other side of the street and bought a donkey meat set, and stood at the intersection to eat it. Occasionally, pedestrians passing by would start eating him when they saw him.
He said hello and politely called Mr. Huang, and Huang Si agreed. The people who greeted him looked like street gangsters.
Lao Pang noticed this situation and said to Xia Xun: "My lord, I'm afraid this Huang Si'er is not a good choice."
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Come out to relax, whatever you want, we are tired from walking, as long as the food is still edible, I will take you to have a good meal in the evening. I'm afraid Huang Si'er is bullying us because we are foreigners.
But... this is not a wilderness, and it's not a black shop making human meat buns..."
Just as he was talking, the boss came out of the kitchen with two dishes. He stuck his thumb in the vegetable soup and it was dripping. It was not difficult.
Seeing him like this, Xia Xun frowned. When he saw the dish, Xia Xun frowned and asked: "Staff, did I order these two dishes?"
The shopkeeper smiled authentically and said: "Yes, sir, these are the 'Mother and Son Meet' and 'Qinglong Woxue' you ordered."
Xia Xun lowered his head and asked, "How much do these two dishes cost?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Sir, what you said is that the meal has not been finished yet, so why don't we pay the bill? When the dishes are ready and you guys are full, we can just finish it together."
Xia Xun continued to ask: "How much do these two dishes cost?"
The shopkeeper stopped laughing and said with a straight face: "Three hundred for 'Mother and Son Reunion', five hundred for Qinglong Woxue."
Xia Xun took a breath and said to Lao Peng who was speechless at the side: "Lao Peng, we're afraid we can't do it casually!"
As soon as Xia Xun finished speaking, the old man jumped up, grabbed the shopkeeper by the collar, and yelled: "Your mother, you are bullying me!"
"Oh, oh, oh, why do you foreigners still bully others? The folks and neighbors from the countryside are all here, and the foreigners are bullying others!"
As soon as the shopkeeper shouted, several people rushed in from outside the store. The speed and posture were clearly prepared. The old fan didn't care about the few people rushing in from outside.
Scratching his ears, he cursed: "I call you 'Mother and Son Meet'! I call you 'Qinglong Woxue'! I am your mother! I am your mother!"
The old man was talking and beating him, and he slapped the shopkeeper so hard that all his teeth were gone, his face was swollen, and his mouth was full of blood.
"Why is this, so good, why are you starting to fight?"
Seeing this, Huang Si quickly squeezed into the crowd, and the shopkeeper immediately cried: "Master Huang, these evil guests want to eat the king's meal and bully others..."
Huang Si still wanted to talk, but Xia Xun was not willing to chat with him. He lowered his face and shouted: "Don't lose your interest. Send them all to the government!"
Xia Xun gave an order, and several guards around him immediately jumped up. Although those gangsters were also skilled in two-handed and three-legged cats, how could they compare to these veterans of hundreds of battles? In a moment, they were all piled to the ground with bruises and swollen faces.
The smashing was so bad. When Huang Si saw him beating people like this and brazenly planning to file a lawsuit with locals like them, he knew he had run into something tough and couldn't help but regret that he had gone away.
Lao Pang and several others found ropes from the house, tied the gangsters into a bunch and dragged them to the Yamen.
The horse was approaching quickly, and the people on the horse were beating the horse like flying, shouting loudly: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Xia Xun Dingqingyi couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Although the man immediately changed into casual clothes, he had just seen him just now. How could he not recognize him? This man was clearly Yin Shenghui, a man with a thousand households in brocade clothes whom he had seen in the suburbs.
Yin Shenghui and all his men were originally kidnapped into the city by the official named Xiao Zujie, who said they were going to be thrown into prison. But just a few hours later, Yin Shenghui actually appeared on the street in a big way.
Xia Xun ducked on the side of the road, watching Yin Shenghui rush down to Nancheng with his whip like an inch. He turned back full of doubts, and was about to ask someone to send those scoundrels who were blackmailing customers into the government office first, when they met him.
I saw several people riding fast horses and came back again. One of them was the guard I sent to the government to find out the news.
There were so many people standing there in Xia Xun, but the guard was still missing. When he saw him from afar, he said something to an official who was accompanying him. After hearing this, the official looked at Xia Xun.
The horse was still seven or eight feet away, so he reined in his horse, dismounted, and hurried up to meet him.
Seeing that he was about to salute, Xia Xun quickly stopped him and said, "My lord is here incognito, so don't salute in the street."
"Yes, yes, yes!" The official quickly stopped kneeling and said respectfully: "I have met Zhao Zijin, the general judge of Zhuozhou!"
The guard also rushed over and saw several companions standing there with several people tied up. One of them was wearing a cooking apron stained with oily twists. He couldn't help but wonder: "What's going on?"
As soon as the old man explained the cause and effect, Zhao Tongpian was so angry that he took the blackmail on the head of the Duke. Isn't this seeking death? Gritting his teeth with hatred, Zhao Tongpian immediately called a man who came with him.
The inspection team escorted the scoundrels back to the government office for correction. When the scoundrels heard that this good-tempered young man who was always smiling was actually a prince of the country, they were so frightened that they were like chaff. Huang Si'er was dragged by someone and was short-lived.
The hem of the robe was so frightened that he wet his pants.
When those people were taken away, Zhao Tongpan immediately said to Xia Xun: "Master Guo, this is not the place to talk. Can you find a quiet place and let the officials report one by one? Don't worry, Duke Guo."
, the news of your appearance here is only known to Xiaguan alone, and is not known to colleagues in Zhuozhou."
Xia Xun wanted to know why Yin Shenghui, a member of the Qianye Family in Jinyi who had just been captured by force, appeared on the street without incident, and what happened to Xiao Zujie and Yin Shenghui. Naturally, these things cannot be asked on the street. After hearing this,
Then he nodded. Zhao Zijin was overjoyed and hurriedly led Xia Xunxing respectfully...
