No matter day or night, there are always vendors selling goods on the streets as well as pedestrians walking through the streets.
Even in many cases, Chang'an City at night is more lively than Chang'an City during the day.
The reason is simply that there are few entertainment projects in this era. .??.
Instead of being bored at home, it is better to go out for a walk and go shopping.
After a busy day, people must find some fun for themselves.
certainly.
Even if there is no curfew.
There will still be soldiers guarding the city at the city gate.
After all, this is the imperial city.
If the empire's spies get involved, it will inevitably cause turmoil.
But what?
The Tang Dynasty is extremely powerful now.
How could such a blind person come here to cause trouble?
So the night watch is often symbolic.
Anyone entering the city in the middle of the night would be searched and their place of residence documents checked.
If there are no problems, it will be released.
Day after day, over time.
The soldiers didn't take this matter to heart.
Those who come to guard the gate are usually thinking about a few days of rest after their rotation.
This is exactly the situation now.
Because there were fewer people entering the city today, the night watch became even more boring.
A few soldiers were responsible for guarding the city gate, although they were standing at the edge of the city gate.
But their souls didn't know where they had drifted to. They were all listless, as if they hadn't woken up.
The two corps commanders also gathered together to chat.
"Old Wang, have you heard that there is a new skinny horse from Guixiang Tower?"
"Then you really need to have a good appearance and a good figure."
A corps commander, about thirty years old, said to another corps commander next to him: "How about we change posts tomorrow and go have a good time together?"
"What a joy!"
"I don't have the energy."
The Wu leader named Lao Wang gave him a blank look: "And Bai, have you forgotten that there is a tigress in your home? If she knows that you are going to Guixiang Tower, you will not be able to turn around. Are you interrupting?"
The corps commander named Bai smiled angrily.
He obviously just chatted for a few words.
But when the other party mentioned that he was afraid of his wife, it was inevitable that he would still feel a little dissatisfied.
"Old Wang, I don't like to hear what you are saying!"
Wu Chang Bai shook his head and said: "The so-called Qin Tower and Chu Pavilion are all places for literati and elegant people."
"Although I may appear to be a big-hearted person, but inside I also have the heart of a scholar."
Captain Bai chuckled and said, "So, even if that tigress knows what she can do to me? Can she still stop her husband from doing a great career?"
Just when Lao Wang wanted to scold him a few words.
Suddenly there was a scraping sound of armor behind him.
When the two heard the sound, they immediately stopped talking, held their heads high and looked straight ahead.
Not long after.
A man wearing general armor walked up to the two of them.
See him coming.
The two of them bowed together and saluted: "See General Fu..."
The person coming is not someone else.
It is none other than the general patrolling the city, Fu Heng.
"no!"
Fuheng waved his hand, glanced in the direction of the official road, and asked, "Is there anyone special coming?"
The two looked at each other.
Finally, Chief Wang was the first to say: "No."
A flash of surprise flashed in Fu Heng's eyes, and he stared blankly to the east along the official road.
When Commander Wang saw this, he couldn't help but ask: "But a friend of the rich general is coming over?"
Fuheng was stunned for a moment.
"No."
"Just asking."
Fuheng turned around and said, "If anything happens, report it to me as soon as possible."
"yes."
The two corps commanders responded in unison.
Wait until Fu Heng turned around and left.
The two corps commanders, one Bai and the other Wang, looked at each other in confusion, obviously neither of them understood what General Fu meant.
But neither of them
After thinking a lot, we continued chatting about each other.
In fact, this cannot be said to have neglected their duties.
It's really boring to stay up all night.
It would be better to have someone to talk to.
If a person stood here alone, he might fall asleep while standing.
until midnight.
Suddenly a group of people came over the official road.
Looking around, there are at least forty or fifty.
When the two corps commanders saw this, they immediately stopped chatting.
Immediately afterwards, the two skillfully summoned their brothers and stood in front of the city gate.
"stop!"
Wu Zhang Wang shouted at the other party: "What are you doing?"
"Going to the city to pick up the goods."
From the crowd, a young man with a handsome face came out.
"Pick up the goods?"
Wu Chang Wang raised his eyebrows: "Come here so late to pick up the goods?"
"Have no idea."
"We are all small businesses."
"We will do whatever the above says."
Xiao Langjun explained: "Otherwise, this business wouldn't be possible."
Wu Chang Wang said oh.
"Fine."
"Ask your brothers to bring out their place of birth certificates."
"If there is nothing wrong with the inspection, you can enter the city!"
The place of birth document was something Li Chengqian made with the help of later generations of ID cards in order to facilitate the census and land distribution. One copy for each person. It will clearly record a person's place of origin, date of birth, and past experience.
If you have made meritorious deeds, it will be written on it. If you have committed a crime, it will be written on it.
Moreover, there are anti-counterfeiting marks on the birth certificate, which cannot be forged by ordinary people.
Therefore, you only need to check the birth certificate to almost determine whether this person is dangerous or not.
"this……"
Xiao Langjun laughed dryly: "We came here temporarily, and many of our brothers didn't take us with us."
"How about brother, please make it easier for us..."
While saying this, Xiao Langjun put a money ticket into Wu Zhang Wang's hand. Wu Chang Wang was stunned for a moment, looked down at the note marked with five thousand dollars, and smiled.
"Brother, you are really generous."
"The five-thousand-dollar ticket will be given to you as soon as you ask for it."
Xiao Langjun didn't know what he meant, so he laughed and said: "There is no other way, it's all for survival."
"Haha, life..."
"But you don't seem to know that our army in the Tang Dynasty has express regulations not to accept bribes."
Wu Chang Wang threw the money ticket into Xiao Langjun's hands and shouted with a cold face: "Take your money and your people and get out!"
Xiao Langjun's face was full of surprise.
He also didn't expect that the person in front of him wouldn't do this.
In an instant, a killing intent flashed through Lang Jun's eyes.
At this moment, Fu Heng came over.
He opened his mouth and shouted: "Are you from the Manghe Meng family?"
see him.
Xiao Langjun's face suddenly showed a hint of joy.
"Exactly!"
Following the trend, the young man asked: "May I ask, are you a rich general?"
"it's me."
Fu Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Your Mr. Meng has greeted me in advance and said you would come to pick up the goods tonight. I have been waiting here for a long time."
The young man quickly saluted: "Thank you for your hard work, General Fu."
"It's not hard."
"Your master has helped me a lot."
Fu Heng shook his head at Wu Zhang Wang: "No need to check, these are good people of Mang River, let them in."
"this……"
Wu Zhang Wang also wanted to say something else.
Fu Heng glared sharply: "My words are of no use?"
"What did the general say?"
Commander Wang was startled and quickly ordered his soldiers to make way for a passage.
The young man did not hesitate, and after looking at each other with Fu Heng, he led a group of people into the city.
at the same time.
The same situation is also happening at the other three gates of Chang'an City.
A group of people claiming to be the Manghe Meng family poured into Chang'an City one after another...
