The capital is at the feet of the emperor and is heavily guarded.
Ever since we got off the expressway, we could see vehicle inspection checkpoints at regular intervals.
The jeep had military license plates and a pass to the Hall of Hades on it, so the journey was smooth.
Ten p.m.
The jeep arrived at Xuanwumen.
Ye Qiu came to the capital for the first time, so he couldn't help but be a little curious. Looking forward, Xuanwu Gate was more than thirty meters high, thick and solemn.
Tang Fei has been in the capital all year round and knows the architecture and history of the capital well. He introduced Ye Qiu: "Xuanwu Gate was one of the nine gates in the inner city of the capital during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was built in the Ming Dynasty and was first called Shun City Gate.
Changed to Xuanwumen."
"Xuanwumen used to be a place where prison cars were transported, because the execution ground was located at Caishikou outside Xuanwumen. After the prisoners were reviewed and confirmed by the Ministry of Punishment, they left Xuanwumen and were interrogated and executed at Caishikou."
"Did you see that there are three characters engraved on the top of the city gate of Xuanwumen?"
Ye Qiu raised his head and took a closer look. Sure enough, there were three words.
Regret too late!
"What do those three words mean?" Ye Qiu asked.
Tang Fei smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that the prisoner should go out from here and go to the vegetable market to behead him? If you think about it, he will be beheaded before he regrets anything."
When Ye Qiu heard this, he realized that this was true.
As he spoke, Tang Fei slowed down the car, pointed to some merchants or pharmacies on both sides of the street not far away, and said, "This is Caishikou. Countless souls died here in ancient times."
"The most famous among them are Wen Tianxiang and Tan Sitong."
"At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, a famous prime minister, Wen Tianxiang, was imprisoned for four years because he refused to submit to the Yuan Dynasty, and was finally killed in Caishikou."
"Wen Tianxiang said to the prison officer on the execution ground: 'What I could do for the Song Dynasty has finally been done', and then he died generously."
"During the Guangxu period, Tan Sitong, one of the Six Gentlemen of 1898, also shouted here his heroic last words: "If you are determined to kill thieves, you will be unable to save yourself. If you die well, you will be happy." It added a chilling atmosphere to this place..."
"Wait a minute!" Ye Qiu suddenly spoke, interrupting Tang Fei's words.
Tang Fei stepped on the brake and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Is the enemy coming?" Long Ye asked nervously, holding the gun tightly.
"Who do you think that is?" Ye Qiu pointed to the roadside.
Tang Fei and Long Ye turned around and saw an old Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe, holding a fly whisk, and wearing big sunglasses next to the city gate, holding a little girl's hand and saying something.
The little girl is in her early twenties, dressed very innocently, and at first glance she seems to be inexperienced in the world.
Tang Fei's eyes widened: "Master Changmei?"
"Old Tang, didn't you say that Master Changmei is still in seclusion? Why is he here?" Long Ye looked surprised.
"This old guy is finally reliable for once." Ye Qiu laughed. He knew that Master Changmei must be here to help him.
"Let's go down and have a look."
Tang Fei parked the car, and then the three of them walked towards the city gate.
As soon as they got closer, they saw Master Changmei saying to the little girl: "Donor, Pindao has just observed your face and palm in detail, and has calculated your fate. What do you want to calculate?"
The little girl was a little shy and said: "Master, please help me calculate when can I find a boyfriend?"
Master Changmei pretended to be a master, flicked his long sleeves, and said with a straight face: "You are destined to have no man in the first half of your life."
The little girl was anxious, "What about the rest of my life?"
"You'll get used to it for the rest of your life."
The little girl's face turned pale.
She was a senior student, and she didn't believe in fortune-telling at all, but she was about to graduate recently and hadn't found a boyfriend, so her roommate told her that it would be better to find a master to tell fortunes.
The little girl then came out to tell fortunes.
She traveled to several places and found that most of the fortune tellers pretended to be blind and deceived people. Only the master in front of her, wearing a Taoist robe, holding a fly whisk, and moving with a fairy spirit, looked like a master from this world.
Can't find a man in your life?
When the little girl heard this, she was so frightened that she almost cried.
Master Changmei sighed and said: "Donor, your fate is called the Lone Star of Heaven. Not only will your life be unlucky, but you will also be unable to find a man in your life, and you will die alone."
The little girl couldn't help but shed tears and asked urgently: "Master, do you have a way to break the fate of Tiansha Lone Star?"
"I am an expert in this world, so of course I have a way."
"any solution?"
Master Changmei pointed at the little girl and said, "If you give me a son, the fate of the evil star will be solved."
Old hooligan!
The little girl finally realized that the man in front of her, who looked like an immortal, was not only a liar, but also a shameless person, so she turned around and left in anger.
Master Changmei stood up and shouted loudly: "Hey, donor, why don't you tell your life and not give me money? Even if you don't have money, you can pay in flesh..."
boom!
Ye Qiu threw a stone and hit Master Changmei on the head.
"Who? Who hit me? I will destroy you." Master Changmei turned around, and when he saw Ye Qiu, he said with a depressed expression: "Love is always the same through thousands of rivers and mountains, how about you don't hit me?"
Damn, this old guy started writing poetry again.
Ye Qiu was most disgusted with seeing the Changmei Master writing poetry, so he asked, "Why are you here?"
"Don't you know why I'm here?" Master Changmei said angrily: "For you, I traveled all the way from Longhu Mountain to the capital. When I met you, you didn't even say a word of thanks, and you even threw stones at me.
Do you have any conscience?"
Ye Qiu smiled and said: "Even if I have no conscience, I will not lie to a little girl. Unlike some people, who are outsiders and do not follow the rules and only want to sleep with women."
"But it's normal to want to sleep with a woman. After all, you are a man, but what do you mean by making such nonsense about the fate of a lonely star? You want to have sex for free?"
"You can just say it for free, why bother beating around the bush?"
"You don't think it's embarrassing, but do I think it's embarrassing?"
Changmeizhen jumped up angrily, pointed at Ye Qiu and cursed: "What do you mean, Ye?"
"You actually humiliated me. Do you believe that the poor man will kill you?"
"Let me tell you, I have successfully practiced the Five Thunder Method, and I can kill you with one move."
Ye Qiu looked at the real person with long eyebrows, curled his lips, and said disdainfully: "Kill me? Just you? Haha..."
"What the hell! If you don't believe it, let's show off." Changmei Master rolled up the sleeves of his Taoist robe and looked like he was about to fight.
Tang Fei felt a headache and said, "Senior, Ye Qiu, please stop arguing."
"Hmph, if this little brat doesn't apologize to me today, I will kill him..."
Before Master Changmei finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the city gate.
Almost at the same time, Ye Qiu's eyes also looked in the same direction, as if facing a formidable enemy.
