Nightwatcher

Why are we all afraid of social death? This involves a rule in the inner city. The inner city is different from the outer city in that the latter has no curfew.

And because the former lived in decent people, for the safety of the dignitaries, no one could be on the street after the drums were played at dusk.

As we all know, Jiaofang Division works at night.

This means that going to the Jiaofang Division is not just about inquiring about information, you also have to stay in it.

That's why Xu Pingzhi objected to Xu Qi'an's going to the Jiaofang Division. He was a young and energetic guy who stayed in the Jiaofang Division. If a girl teased him, who could bear it?

Therefore, whoever goes to the Jiaofang Division has to go whoring.

And the three men here are all man-made:

Let the gentleman say farewell to the old days.

Don't go to Goulan Xu Qi'an.

The beloved wife of the Gu family, Xu Pingzhi.

The three of them knew one thing clearly in their hearts. Even if there was a reason for the incident, whoring is still a whoring, and this fact cannot be changed.

Although I have never gone whoring in my previous life, I can imagine the embarrassment of going whoring and being called by the police to inform my parents.

Some interesting stories about the brothel came to mind. One time when Goulan was listening to music, Wang Butou brought up a topic. An official from Chaoli went to teach the sleeping girl in Fangfang, but he met his son while playing tea circle.

That scene was very embarrassing.

The next day, it spread throughout the official circles in the capital, and it was cited as a joke, so much so that even Wang Butou heard about it from Zhu County Magistrate.

For this era that values ​​the Three Cardinal Principles and Five Constant Principles and reputation, it is a shame that this kind of thing happened.

Xu Qi'an looked at Xu Ershu and Xu Erlang, and an image appeared in his mind involuntarily:

Xu Xinnian: "Yo, Dad, you're here too. Let me give this girl to me today, and she'll be yours tomorrow."

Uncle Xu: "Get lost, who is I? I'll go to bed first."

Xu Qi'an: "You all step down, I want to be alone."

Thinking about it makes me shudder, Xu Qi'an coughed: "The Secretary of the Jiaofang has been put on hold in advance, we will continue to inquire about the news, after all, the Secretary of the Jiaofang does not have to go, and we are not sure whether we can really get any good news from Fuxiang Huakui.

"Sit down again the day after tomorrow to summarize the news. If there is no extra gain, let's consider going to the Jiaofang Division."

Hearing what he said, Xu Erlang and Xu Ershu's attitudes suddenly improved, and they nodded.

Xu Qian thought to himself, let me make a sacrifice and go to the Jiaofang Division tomorrow night.

At noon the next day, Xu Qi'an asked for leave and went back to the Xu Mansion. The Xu Mansion, which was still lively in the past, became much cooler.

The maid and the old lady took half of it away, leaving Lao Zhang, the concierge, and a few servants to take care of it. Xu Ershu and Xu Erlang did not return.

Xu Qi'an went to the inner courtyard with ease, pushed away Xu Erlang's room, and rummaged through the boxes to find the moon-white Confucian shirt, which was made of precious fabric and embroidered with cloud patterns of the same color.

He took off his police uniform and put on the most decent clothes of his younger brother, with a jade pendant of acceptable quality hanging from his belt.

Xu Qi'an stood in front of the bronze mirror, looking at his current appearance.

It’s okay, but my skin is too masculine, and I can’t wear the handsome beauty of a little milk dog. If it’s the beauty of my previous life, I can completely control this kind of clothes. Right now, this skin is always lacking some sense of substitution. Xu Qi comforts Flatten the folds on the chest and leave with satisfaction.

The structure of Dafengjing City can be summarized by the word "matryoshka", which are Miyagi, Imperial City, Inner City and Outer City.

Compared with the outer city with a large population of mixed fish and dragons, Xu Qi'an understood the inner city as the CBD area of ​​his previous life, and only rich people could live in it.

In this era, those who can live in the inner city are people with status and status.

It is worth mentioning that my aunt has always wanted to sell the real estate in the outer city and move to the inner city.

It's a pity that there is a nephew of a gold swallowing beast, which makes my aunt yearn for the inner city, but she has no chance to live in it.

From Xu's mansion to the gate of the inner city, if he walked, Xu Qi'an's current journey would take three to four hours.

He hired a carriage, and arrived at the gate of the nearest inner city an hour later, took out the voucher he had prepared earlier, and passed the customs smoothly.

The soldiers guarding the city carefully inspected the carriage, and seeing that Xu Qi'an didn't carry any large luggage, he couldn't hide his disappointment on his face.

Because this meant that Xu Qi'an didn't enter the inner city to do business, so he couldn't collect the city gate tax.

The streets in the inner city are wide and criss-cross. Beautiful houses surrounded by green trees are built on the main roads, and various courtyards are distributed on the non-main roads.

Whether it is urban construction, pedestrian dressing, and the number of carriages on the street, it is far better than the outer city.

"If you have time, you must bring Lingyue's sister to the inner city. The degree of prosperity is not the same as that of the outer city." Xu Qi'an raised the curtains of the car, looked at the bustling scene, and Xu Lingyue's beautiful appearance appeared in his mind.

He didn't go to the Jiaofang Division right away, it was still early, and seafood merchants didn't work during the day.

After paying the money for renting the carriage, Xu Qi'an wandered aimlessly on the street.

Not long after, Xu Qi'an came to a market, looked up at the archway at the entrance of the street: Yongkang Street!

The spaciousness of this street is something that Xu Qi'an has never seen before. It is two hundred meters wide, and the bluestone slabs form a flat ground, extending to the end of the line of sight.

There are row upon row of shops and houses on both sides, ten horse-drawn carriages side by side without pressure, and pedestrians are bustling.

Where is the street, it is clearly a large square.

Xu Qi'an, who was standing under the archway, looked at this scene and was sincerely shocked.

"Yongkang Street is one of the main roads in the capital. My second uncle said it is very big, but I didn't expect it to be so big." Xu Qi'an muttered to himself.

The main road is so wide that there is something special about it. When the emperor or the clan nobles travel, there will be guards clearing the place in advance.

The width of 200 meters makes most of the current military crossbows and firecrackers useless.

Even if an assassin wants to hide in the buildings on both sides and shoot cold arrows, seeing the distance, he can only leave the keyboard with both hands helplessly and type 666.

Xu Qi'an ran around Yongkang Street like a wild dog, but because of the limited budget in his pocket, he restrained his shopping consumption.

Suddenly, a luxurious carriage attracted Xu Qi'an's attention, blinding his titanium alloy dog ​​eyes.

It was a carriage pulled by four strong horses. The arc-shaped dome was crowned with silver and gold, and the windows were hung down with bright yellow satin. Further down, there was a reel used to cover the floating dust, which was wrapped in translucent white jade.

A circle of neatly arranged gold nails is nailed on the side of the wheel, and the hub wheel is also wrapped in jade.

The real connotation is the material of the carriage, the golden silk nanmu specially used by the royal family.

"I guess I'll struggle all my life, but I won't be able to afford a wheel." Xu Qi'an thought sadly, as if he had found the feeling he had when he was a social animal in his previous life.

This luxurious carriage was parked by the side of the road, and a row of soldiers in black armor and spears stood guard beside the carriage. Interestingly, another row of soldiers was actually playing a game of throwing pots.

The stall owner was an old Taoist priest in tattered Taoist robes, his gray hair was tied with a wooden hairpin, and the messy strands of his hair hung down.

Copper coins, silver ingots, gold ingots, Taoist scriptures, Bodhi bracelets, jade mirrors and all kinds of miscellaneous things are placed on the stalls.

Leaving other things aside, just because the gold and silver ingots were not snatched from the booth, this old man would definitely not be easy for Xu Qian to stop and watch.

He looked at it for a while and understood how the game was played. The pot thrower was thirty steps away from the porcelain pot, blindfolded, turned his back, and shot three arrows in total.

If an arrow hits the target, you can get the items of the third echelon, which are some gold, silver and jade. If all three are successful, one of the first echelon items will be randomly selected.

There are only two items in the first echelon: bodhi bracelets and jade mirrors.

"Missed again, hateful!"

"Go away, it's my turn."

The soldiers took turns throwing pots, but all of them came back in failure, and the broken silver piled up in front of the old Taoist.

After the fifteen soldiers experienced another round of failures, Xu Qi'an noticed that the curtains of the carriage moved. A soldier waiting by the window bowed his head and walked towards the stall owner after listening.

"Old Dao, my master said, gold is sixty taels, and you can buy everything on your stall." The soldier walked up to the old Dao and said loudly.

Is this the throwing pot that didn't hit the target, did you go straight to krypton gold? Xu Qi'an stood not far away, watching this scene.

Faced with the temptation of sixty taels of gold, the old Taoist shook his head, "Rules are rules."

The soldier tensed up all of a sudden, stared fiercely at the old man for a moment, then turned around suddenly, and returned to the carriage to report.

A few seconds later, the owner of the carriage called back the soldier and prepared to leave.

Xu Qi'an took the opportunity to step forward, came to the old Taoist, and asked: "Old Taoist, how much is it for a game?"

The old Taoist priest sitting cross-legged raised his head, glanced at him, and handed over three arrows: "One penny."

Xu Qi'an took the arrow and smiled, feeling that he had the chance to win.

Throwing the pot thirty steps away is not too difficult for a martial artist in the refinement realm. But with your back turned and blindfolded, it is almost impossible to make a shot.

Eyes are the most important part of the five senses. Losing vision will reduce the warrior's hand feeling and increase the difficulty of hitting.

Whether you can make a hit or not depends entirely on your face.

Xu Qi'an had an ugly face, but he had absolute confidence, because he hadn't picked up any silver for several days in a row.

Is it because I will come to the inner city and encounter this pot-tossing game, so the lucky points will automatically accumulate?

If I can hit the shot, all the gold and silver ingots will be mine. Ouhuang's life is so unpretentious and boring. Xu Qi'an walked thirty steps away, turned around, covered his eyes with a black cloth, and threw it back casually.

"Boom boom boom"

The three arrows entered the pot almost at the same time, in no particular order.

The passers-by around made exclamations, and the uproar attracted just as he was about to leave the carriage, a soft and pleasant voice came out of the window:

"parking!"

PS: I'm going on a business trip tomorrow. Hey, I don't really want to go out. After all, the epidemic is not completely over yet, so I'm a little scared. But in order to justify the meal, I had to bite the bullet and fly.

That is to say, there will be no computer around me tomorrow, so I may not be able to update during the day, so the chapter at noon tomorrow will be updated in advance. This is not an update, but an early update tomorrow!
