The evening drums sounded loudly in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Temple, and the drums also sounded loudly on the Bell and Drum Towers in Chang'an City.
Except for a few cities in Chang'an City, which are not subject to curfew, the rest of the city has curfew.
At three o'clock in the hour, the bell and drum towers in Chang'an City sounded four hundred times and then closed the city gates.
Then after four hundred more beeps, the gates of the city closed under curfew, and Zuo Jinwu, the guard in charge of the curfew, died.
Depart from Nanya and follow the route set earlier. Of course, there are some places where curfew is not required due to the Tang Dynasty order.
Many years ago, when the curfew was established at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, all violators were executed!
On one side is the sleepless city of Chang'an, and on the other side are the squads of armored Imperial Guards patrolling with open fire.
There is a law in the Tang Dynasty that says: "Anyone who violates the law at night will be whipped twenty times!"
The Tang Code is written in black and white in books, but the people who use it are real people.
Those who commit night crimes are punished with twenty floggings, which can be divided into big and small, as well as virtual and real.
If you are from a princely family, you don’t need to worry about the birth of a general or minister, this is a small curfew.
In addition, academy disciples are not included in the curfew. Academy disciples can travel to Chang'an at night without any hindrance by holding the academy disciple ID badge.
The curfew was to investigate the Jianghu gangs in the city, as well as certain people. If caught, they would be beaten twenty times, or in worst cases, they would be beaten to death on the spot.
In the shop where Red Sleeve Moves is located, there is still singing and dancing, and there has always been a deep gap between the nobles and ordinary people.
A dilapidated carriage drove slowly past Hongxiuzhao. When passing through this section of the road, the driver used spiritual practice to control the carriage's forward speed extremely slowly.
In the carriage!
Ye Hongyu, who was dressed in red clothes and red shoes, had an iron sword across her knees. She said coldly: "The singing and dancing are sluggish. The women among them must be extremely beautiful. Jiang Chun's carriage is moving so slowly. You might as well go in and take a look."
”
"Don't worry, teacher, I will never come out from the temple to catch you. After all, this is Chang'an."
"It's just a pink skull. It's easy to get in, but hard to get out."
The young coachman named Jiang Chun quickly withdrew his gaze. Jiang Chun said: "Uncle Ye, you are joking again. I have been talking to my uncle from time to time."
"I entered the Tao of Talismans with the oath of pure Yang, and although I lingered on the red-sleeved moves, I gained nothing!"
"I still want to get married!"
"Drive!"
With a soft shout, Jiang Chun whipped the horse hard.
The horses were in pain, and the carriage sped forward and disappeared into the street.
As everyone knows, in the private room on the second floor of Hong Xiuzhao, Yan Se, who is enjoying singing, dancing, silk and bamboo orchestra music, has already seen Jiang Chun.
Red sleeves on the second floor, on the side of the elegant room facing the window.
Yan Se held the wine glass in his hand and said, "Jiang Chun, people in the temple, what is he doing in Chang'an?"
The group of magicians on Peach Mountain will not act easily when there is nothing necessary.
Tang is a land that has not been illuminated by Haotian, let alone the people in the temple.
If Jiang Chun can be the driver, who should be sitting in that carriage?
"Shui Zhu'er, hurry up and polish the ink. I want to send a letter to my poor junior brother."
His junior brother has already encountered a lot of troublesome things this year, but even worse things are coming.
"Master Yan Se, you have to sharpen your ink again. My hands are almost worn out."
Since the chicken soup sticker appeared, Master Yan Se has been asking him to sharpen his ink in the past few nights. There is already a large stack of chicken soup stickers on the table next to him.
For Master Yan Se, these imitation chicken soup stickers with only 29 large characters are naturally not a big deal.
But for some people, the defense copy of this Chicken Soup Poster is a priceless treasure, much more expensive than the calligraphy written by the Holy King of Mochiyuan.
Although Wang Shusheng is also a Talisman Master, he is far inferior to Master Yan Se in terms of status and cultivation level.
"It's not about copying chicken soup posts, it's about writing letters. Remember to bring the envelope."
Hong Xiuzhao is the most famous brothel in the capital, so the production of the tube seal is naturally exquisite.
Drops of water were rubbing the ink, Yan Se took the wolf hair and dipped it in the inkstone, turned around and wrote on the letter paper, 'Someone in the temple has come to Chang'an, please check quickly!'
Then he dried the letter paper with a fire charm, folded it in half, and put it into the envelope brought by the boy. After carefully inspecting it, he said: "Remember, you must hand this letter into the hands of the Imperial Master.
”
"If you miss something big, no one can save you."
The boy quickly said: "Master Yan Se, we have done this kind of work a lot, and we are very strict."
After saying that, the boy hurriedly left, went downstairs, picked up the identity card of Hongxiuzhao, drove a carriage, and rushed into the darkness.
------
It’s almost time!
Microwaves rippled on Yanming Lake, but the mandarin ducks no longer played in the water. It seemed that the pair of mandarin ducks had gotten into trouble during the day.
I don’t want to stay together at night, and it’s really sad to be separated in two places.
The carriage jingled and stopped outside the Chen Mansion. Jiang Chun breathed a sigh of relief, thanks to Yu Zhi's skill.
He avoided the patrolling Jinwu Guard soldiers, otherwise he would have had to take action.
A person came out of the temple in the middle of the night in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
He beat up the Jinwu Guard soldiers who were enforcing the curfew, but there was no reason to refute the Tang Dynasty Court's accusation.
Tang Guo would not go to Guanli. He would only go to the temple to ask those scammers.
Jiang Chun jumped off the carriage first and said: "Uncle Ye, by the Yanming Lake, the Chen Mansion has arrived."
"But are you sure, old man, do you want to knock on the door now?"
"Knocking on the door in red clothes at midnight will scare many people. It would be bad if the concierge of the Chen family is frightened."
She, Uncle Ye, has always been like this. He has a great name and is very direct in his work. To put it mildly, he is quite arrogant.
When looking for a wife in the future, you must not find such a arrogant wife, otherwise your husband will not be harmed!
Ye Hongyu got off the carriage, glanced at Jiang Chun, and said, "Jiang Chun, it's all my fault that you are able to visit this time."
"If you don't knock on the door yet, don't forget that next time, whether you can come out or not depends on my mood."
Jiang Chun waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Uncle Ye, I'm afraid that Chen Xuan will beat him to the point of paralysis. I'm scared when Hong Yi knocks on the door and comes in at midnight."
"Humph!"
Ye Hongyu snorted coldly: "Jiang Chun, how can you know your destiny if you are so timid?"
After saying that, Ye Hongyu walked up the steps of the Chen Mansion and was about to knock on the brass ring on the door when he saw the vermilion door of the Chen Mansion open.
At the beginning of the rockery and flowing water inside the door, there is a man's sleeves fluttering in the night wind, like an immortal banished from the sky.
Outside the door, Jiang Chun suddenly hid behind Ye Hongyu. After looking around, he said, "Uncle Ye, I've told you a long time ago that it's inappropriate for you to be wearing red and knocking on the door in the middle of the night."
"Talk too much!" Ye Hongyu turned around and cursed.
As the night fell, Chen Xuan, who was dressed in red and sitting in the pavilion at midnight, looked at the woman in red who was standing outside the door and stopped and said, "The distinguished guest has arrived, so why are you not stopping?"
