Watching Jia Chang's carriage go away, Lei Wanchun smiled and jumped on his mount. He finally had a sufficient excuse to explain to his friends why he stayed out all night. Let the bookworm Zhang Xun and the little boy Wang Xun
Go to hell with the evil smiles on their faces. I will go back to my old job tonight and be a hero for once, haha!
With a high degree of drunkenness, he ran through two street intersections at lightning speed. On Zhuque Street, which ran from the north to the south of Chang'an City, a group of serious-seeming night watchmen stopped him. The primary school leader took a look at Lei Wan
When Chun handed over the silver medal, he was immediately stunned. He took half a step back, cupped his fists and saluted. Then he respectfully handed back the silver medal and hurried away with the soldiers.
This feeling of walking around after seeing an official official made Lei Wanchun feel very comfortable. He suddenly discovered that the benefits of power were no less than martial arts, and even far superior. In the past, he always had to worry about using martial arts to do whatever he wanted.
He was arrested by an official for disturbing the people in the middle of the night. But now, with a silver medal of unknown origin, he can safely follow the Chang'an City's rule against walking outside at night.
Humph, no wonder many people keep trying to climb up all their lives. Putting away the silver medal, Lei Wanchun secretly slandered his good friend. In front of him, Zhang Xun never concealed his personal desire for power.
It means that you must reach a certain position before you can realize your ambition to help the world. But tonight, Lei Wanchun discovered that power can not only realize personal ambitions, but the greater advantage is that when you reach a certain position, you can ignore many things in the world.
Rules, whether they are rules on the surface or those invisible rules under the table, have always restricted ordinary people. For those who have reached a certain height, they are no more than a piece of waste paper.
He knew that he must be drunk tonight. Otherwise, he would not have so many messy thoughts in his mind. But this feeling of being slightly drunk is very comfortable, as if he has controlled everything around him, and seems to be aware of everything around him.
I don't care. "The emperor couldn't get on the boat, and he claimed that he was a drunkard!" When Li Bai was lying drunk on the streets of Chang'an, he probably felt the same way. It's just that he was drunk for too short a time, and he had to behave himself after waking up.
Enter the palace to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor.
His thoughts after being drunk were like a wild horse, making him think of many things uncontrollably. He thought of the arrogance of a young man who had just achieved success in his studies and was determined to wipe out all the injustice in the world with a three-foot sword. He thought of his fame in Zhongzhou, no matter what.
The glory of being admired by heroes wherever he goes. Thinking of the regret of his friends when he suddenly got tired of the wandering life in the four waves, and decided to wash his hands in the golden basin. Then he couldn't help but think of Yang Yuyao, who could never be his wife in this life, but why
The woman who left him with unforgettable memories.
Maybe when the two met ten years ago, maybe they could really get together. At that time, she didn't have as many vicissitudes of life in her eyes as now, and he didn't have as many scruples in his heart. What are you thinking, you fool!
He suddenly smiled and reached out to pat his face. It was hot, as if he was sitting by the charcoal basin, eating wine and watching her smile.
Just as I was thinking wildly, I suddenly raised my head. Tonight's destination, Datongfang, was already very close at hand. The city's city planning was quite neat. Since the imperial palace was located due north, with the east and west in the middle, the palace was the core, and the east and west sides of the north of the city were divided.
The people living on the side are all high-ranking officials. Bounded by Zhuque Gate and the east-west Chunming Street, going south are low-level officials and ordinary people. The further south you go, the further away from the palace, the more the residents' identities become.
Yu Pong. The only exception is Qujiangfang in the southeast corner. Because it is close to Qujiang Pool, most of the houses nearby are villas for dignitaries, and the status of the residents is more noble. As for the place where Lei Wanchun is now
The location, Datong, Guiyi, Xianxing, Da'an and other southwest corners are standard disadvantaged areas. Except for those ordinary people from very poor families and those who want to live in big houses but cannot afford land in the north of the city, basically
Not many people live there.
The mansion of Wannian County Lieutenant Xue Rongguang is located at the inner end of Datongfang. Its size is more than ten times that of other houses in this square, so it is very easy to find. Lei Wanchun first held his mount and pretended to be lost.
He walked around the streets around Datongfang a few times and found out the specific location of Xue's house. Then he hid his mount under a high wall that was rarely visited by people, took off his coat, pulled off a corner of his robe and slapped his face with both hands.
After grabbing the brick joints on the outer wall of Datongfang and exerting a little force, the whole person immediately climbed up the outer wall like an ape and disappeared on the other side of the high wall in an instant. (Note 1)
It had been a long time since he had been in high school. Suddenly he returned to his old career, and a familiar feeling suddenly surged through his body. All the lofty ambitions of his youth suddenly returned to his blood, as if he had become more than ten years younger in the blink of an eye.
.Perhaps those lofty ideals have always been hidden in the depths of his blood, but he just deliberately covered them up. Tonight, they were triggered by several sudden events, and they immediately burst into flames.
Lei Wanchun found that he was very obsessed with this feeling of being higher and higher. Standing on the high roof, he had an unobstructed view of the entire Datongfang. Although the night was as dark as ink, there were no secrets in his eyes. Including those in the darkness.
All transactions that can be carried out are clearly seen by him.
The lights were still on at Wannian County Lieutenant Xue Rongguang's house, which surprised Lei Wanchun. It was already late at night. What was Xue doing if he wasn't sleeping with one of the seven or eight concubines at home?
?Soon, his curiosity was satisfied. Two armed guards yawned and passed under the eaves. As they walked, they murmured: "His grandma's business is endless. They discuss it all day long."
Let’s discuss it, when can we come up with a result!”
"Okay, Lao Liu, please stop saying a few words. If Xue Tou hears it, watch your ass!" Another officer looked around and shouted in a low voice.
"Am I afraid of him?" The guy called Lao Liu curled his lips and sneered. "Does he think what he is doing is very secret? If you make me anxious, go up to the top and make a report. There are so many things, and one thing can be revealed at will.
If you come here, you can let him ransack your home..."
"You are seeking death!" Another officer was so frightened that he quickly covered Lao Liu's mouth with his hand, "If you wish to die, you can die yourself, don't hold me back. How did Little Man Gu die last month? Have you forgotten?
?Everyone has soaked in the smelly ditch, and his wife and children are still burdened with lawsuits!"
Hearing the fate of his former colleagues, the officer surnamed Liu suddenly woke up. "I just..." Looking around, he confessed in a low voice, "I just said it happily. Lao Wang, you have nothing to say.
Don’t tell anyone!”
"Am I that person?" Another officer surnamed Wang glared at him and curled his lips in a low voice. "But you have to be careful with your mouth recently. I advise you because of our many years of friendship.
Don't say nonsense that you shouldn't say. In extraordinary times, it's best to be mute."
"That's it, that's it!" The officer surnamed Liu nodded repeatedly. He held a bright lantern and yawned as he walked away.
After their figures disappeared around the corner, Lei Wanchun raised his body from the roof tiles again. The snow water that had not been dried by the night wind soaked into his clothes, making him feel as if he was holding a piece of ice on his chest.
At the same time, his mind became extremely clear due to the stimulation of the ice water.
There are other secrets hidden in this house! In an instant, Lei Wanchun clearly realized that he had broken into a bigger conspiracy.
He bought such a large mansion not to live the pleasures of a wealthy family, but for other purposes. In fact, this mansion is also a secret stronghold of Wannian County Yamen. Once something happens in Chang'an City, people gathered there
The servants and helpers in Xue's house can rush out and become a surprise force!
But the west side of the capital is under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County. If Wannian County doesn't set up a stronghold in its own territory, why is it setting its claws deep into Chang'an County? According to the "Guardian Talisman", these two counties
Ling, they are all direct descendants of King Yin of Jingzhao. Logically speaking, they should never stab each other!
Just when I was thinking about it and was puzzled, there was another rush of footsteps in the corridor below me. A boy ran up with a lantern and shouted in a low voice as he ran, "Old Liu,
Lao Wang, where did you two go? Your Majesty has an order for you two to get there quickly!"
"Oh, there it is, there it is!" The two guards who had just spoken came running over again, smiling apologetically at the boy, "Aren't we going to relieve ourselves together? People have three urgent needs...
.”
As a servant of the Xue family, the young man's status seemed to be higher than that of the official in the yamen. He glared and shouted, "Speak to the adults. I think you are lazy donkeys! Keep dawdling."
Yeah, watch your skin carefully!"
"Alas, alas, how dare we. Mr. Liu, you go first!" The two officials dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything. They bowed their hands and asked the Xue family's boy to go ahead.
"A dog relies on human strength!" Lei Wanchun cursed secretly in his stomach. He pressed his body against the ridge of the roof and crept like a civet cat behind the three people in the corridor. In the middle of the night, no one wanted to look into the room. Even if they looked, in this bright cloud
In the middle of the night, even if you don't use a bronze mirror to focus the light, you may not be able to spot him.
The secret was right in front of him. His whole body trembled with excitement, and he slowly lowered his body and held his breath.
Note 1: According to the layout of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, the entire city was divided into more than one hundred squares by streets. Each square can be enclosed separately. The doors of residents' homes face the square. When the square doors are closed at night, outsiders cannot enter.
