Chapter 490 Wherever you go, your relatives will die.
"Oh——!!"
The cheers from behind came loudly, and the second half of the women's competition began.
Li Yan, who had almost reached the exit of Happy Forest, stopped, turned around, and scanned the entire city with lightning eyes.
He is tall and stands out from the crowd. Since he opened his eyesight, as long as there is no obstruction, he can see every detail from hundreds of steps away. At this moment, one after another comes into view, sifting through the stages quickly, and finally looking back at the female sumo wrestler. high tower.
After summarizing the rules of the previous world, Li Yan discovered that when [Apprentice Death] is triggered, what follows is often not a small case.
Ordinary family feuds and neighborhood disputes may sometimes turn into murders due to impulse, but [Apprentice Death] ignores this and acts as a catalyst for big cases.
If you don't cry, that's it. If you cry, it's often not one person who dies, or it's a key figure who dies.
So Li Yan looked towards the high platform.
Chief Xiang, who had been standing by the side and watching the battle with a smile, disappeared.
He looked at the women carefully again, his eyes flickered, but he kept walking and continued walking out.
The whole process was very short. From Lin San's perspective, Erlang heard the cheers behind him and looked back.
When the two of them walked out of Happy Forest, he asked: "Erlang, shall we go to Daxiangguo Temple next?"
For people in Bianjing, Washi Goulan is a place of entertainment, while Daxiangguo Temple is a small commodity market. The former is purely for fun and exerting energy, while the latter is for buying and selling goods to supplement family income. Li Yan replied casually: "Today Isn’t it the day of Wan’s transaction?”
Lin Sandao: "Tomorrow will be Wan's business, but today many stalls also have good products, and the prices are cheap, and there are less of those from other states."
Li Yan couldn't help but laugh: "As an old Bianjing native, are you still afraid of being cheated?"
Lin San suddenly became proud: "Yes, yes..."
As he spoke, Li Yan had already found his target, the army patrolling the house.
In the alleys of Kaifeng Fufang, every three hundred steps, there is a military patrol house. There are five soldiers inside, who are responsible for patrolling and warning and maintaining law and order. They are similar to the Wuhou in the Tang Dynasty. Their duties are like those of later generations. Film police.
A hundred steps away from the entrance to Happy Forest, there was a military patrol house, with three soldiers standing loosely outside the door, chatting.
Li Yan looked at the shop opposite the military patrol shop, which had the best viewing angle. It was quite lively: "What does it do there?"
Lin San went over to inquire and came back soon: "We are trying out the newly opened restaurant."
Li Yan nodded: "Go in and have a look."
When the two walked into the restaurant, a smell of aroma hit their faces, and Lin San's mouth watered: "It turns out to be grilled pork, it's so fragrant!"
Pork meat is pork. In this dynasty, it was still regarded as dirty meat. The scholar-bureaucrats were too proud of their status to entertain guests at banquets. But for the common people, it was enough to have meat. There were many meat stalls in Bianliang. The amount of pork consumed every day Extremely amazing.
At this time, the pork on the stove was browned, and dripping oil was dripping down. The store owner picked up a sharp knife, cut the pork into pieces, sprinkled the secret seasoning, and served each customer: "The meat passed down from our ancestors." Mei’s pork rind, please try it!”
Since it was a free trial, each person only had a small piece, but when he took a bite, the skin was crispy, the meat was fragrant, and the delicious juices overflowed. The diners exclaimed: "It's delicious! It's delicious!"
Li Yan also thinks the taste is good: "After the popularization of iron pots, frying and stir-frying that could only be enjoyed by dignitaries in the past have entered thousands of households, so that they can pursue food that is never tired of fine food and fine food. Nowadays, there are indeed more and more delicacies.
The aroma of wine is also afraid of the deep alley, but the store knows how to adapt."
Lin San smiled and said: "Seventy-two main restaurants have signature dishes, and each city entrance also has famous miscellaneous food. Later shops want to attract business, so they have to do this. As long as the restaurant's reputation is spread, business will be booming."
While the two were talking, Li Yan looked diagonally opposite the entrance to Happy Forest and waited silently.
Sure enough, not long after, a group of people rushed out, their faces full of panic. After figuring out the direction, they immediately rushed to the military patrol house, waving their hands and saying something.
The soldiers were initially nonchalant, but after hearing a few words, their expressions suddenly changed. They shouted a few times into the house and ran into the Happy Forest.
Soon, soldiers from several other military patrol bunks also appeared and hurriedly entered them.
The other party made too much noise, which immediately attracted the attention of the place. Many diners crowded over there, and Lin San also stretched his head: "Erlang, do we want to go take a look?"
Li Yan silently recorded the time from when people rushed out of Happy Forest to when Pubeng entered. He finished the pork skin and meat slowly, nodded to the store owner, and took Lin San to blend in with the curious crowd.
"what happened?"
"I heard that he lost his temper with the master. Those evil slaves who saw him just now had blood on their hands. Are they afraid they beat someone to death again?"
"So what the hell..."
People were still guessing outside, but the soldiers who had just returned with an extremely ugly expression actually guarded the entrance and yelled at the outside: "It's time to disperse, why are you just joining in the fun!"
After hearing this, everyone refused to leave. They tried their best to peek inside, and saw the waiters from the wine shop on both sides hurriedly coming out and closing the wooden doors. The previous onlookers crowded in between, shouting and yelling.
This battle made people even more imaginative. Some people shouted on the spot: "What happened in Happy Forest? The market is open! The market is open!"
A group of people rushed over and missed every betting opportunity, but this time it didn't last long before they dispersed.
Because a neat team of people appeared from the street and quickly arrived outside the Happy Forest.
The people trapped inside did not dare to move, and the onlookers outside also turned to whispers: "The quick shooter has appeared, this is a big case!"
Quick-shooting archers, commonly known as fast-shooters, are found in county offices all over the country. They obey the orders of the county captain and are used to catch thieves.
At this time, it was the fast archers from Kaifeng Mansion who appeared to take charge of more serious cases.
Seeing them arrive, the troops were greeted by a tall and thin man in green robes, as if they had received an amnesty.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Just as he was about to speak, the man in green robe raised his hand to stop him: "Go in and talk!"
After hearing that stern tone, Pu Bing was all excited, and he quickly bowed and led the person inside.
The man strode in, waved his left hand, and immediately sent out ten policemen to take over from the soldiers, guarding the entrance and exit of Happy Forest, and began to drive away the crowd of onlookers: "Go! Go! Go!"
The people who were standing close to the front were almost pushed down by the rough police officers and hurriedly retreated.
Li Yan's eyes were as bright as fire, and he took a deep look inside through the crowd, then looked at the spirit of these agents, and nodded slightly: "It took only two quarters of an hour to get here. If I hadn't happened to be leading the team, this job would have been impossible."
The response speed is quite good.”
Lin Sanze was overjoyed: "Erlang, fortunately we are lucky. Otherwise, if we are trapped inside now, we might not be able to get out and would be interrogated by those vicious agents. But what happened in Happy Forest?"
Li Yan turned his head and looked at the shop across the street: "You should be familiar with this place. Among these shops, which one opened the earliest in my memory?"
Lin San looked at it carefully and pointed: "It should be that wine shop. The business used to be very good. Since Happy Forest became a regular tile market, the number of customers in this wine shop has been much less."
Li Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Go in and sit down."
When the two of them entered the wine shop, there were already many people sitting in twos and threes, and they were undoubtedly talking about what had just happened.
If it were done openly, no one would be interested. The more tightly they cover it up, the more curious they become about what happened.
Just as everyone was talking about it, the shopkeeper suddenly sneered: "Is there any need to guess? The archers from the fast class are here, and you can tell at a glance that the one who is in trouble can only be Xiang Sanheizi!"
When the wine shop was quiet, Lin San asked: "Shopkeeper, what did Xiang Sanheizi say?"
The shopkeeper sneered: "He has black hands, a black heart, and even his intestines are black. He eats people without spitting out their bones. That's not Xiang Sanheizi! If he didn't have someone to back him up, he would have been taken away long ago!"
One of the drinkers said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, you are still going round and round. Isn't Mr. Xiang the nephew of the Queen Mother? The concubine is also a nephew!"
The shopkeeper immediately shut his mouth and just wiped the table with a rag. His actions were somewhat personal.
The drinkers became excited, beaming, and talked about it: "If something really happened to the boss, and the relative was killed in broad daylight, this would be a big case!"
The people in Bianjing City in the Northern Song Dynasty had less respect for the emperor than in other dynasties. The title "official family" was somewhat cordial, and news from the palace was often spread to the outside world.
For example, Song Renzong was lustful, and his romantic affairs with his concubines were talked about by the common people. As long as the compilation was not too excessive, the government would not pay attention to it. The scholar-bureaucrats were also compiling various literati notes, and the enjoyment alone was not as good as the enjoyment of everyone.
.
Not only the official family, there are also many royal scandals, and the relatives are naturally a part of the discussion.
Today's Empress Dowager Xiang is the great-granddaughter of Prime Minister Xiang Minzhong. She has two direct brothers, and the owner of this happy forest is also named Xiang. From the time it was founded to the time it became stable, in just half a year, she robbed all the surrounding businesses.
He also runs gambling games. No one would believe him if he did not have a profound background. The rumor currently circulating in the market is that this man is the concubine of the Xiang family. Although his status in the clan is not high, he is also the nephew of the Queen Mother Xiang.
They are considered to be relatives who come out specifically to do business.
The status of merchants in the Song Dynasty has been greatly improved. The sons of merchants can become prime ministers. It is not a special case for relatives to do business. However, if their relatives are killed in broad daylight, it is a special case to challenge the authority of the court!
At this time, Li Yan looked through the window towards the high platform of Happy Forest, his eyes calm.
The man in green robe stood in the middle of the high platform with a cold gaze.
At his feet was a disgusting corpse, disemboweled, dripping with blood, and with something wrapped around its neck.
The man leaned down, touched it without disdain, and made a judgment in a cold voice:
