Chapter 9: Noodles


Miss Jiang quickly served a bowl of noodles to the widow, and before she could add condiments, a clear voice said: "Sister Ning, let's serve a bowl to the little brother first, put more spicy oil, the little brother's belly is about to be hungry." ” As soon as Miss Jiang heard the voice, she knew who was coming, and she didn't raise her head, so she said coquettishly: "You stinky boy, you won't starve to death if you eat later, and you will come to make trouble for your sister when there are many people, how can you starve to death and reincarnate." ” After all, she still put an extra piece of noodles into the bowl, ordered some chopped green onions, leek flowers, and drizzled a few drops of spicy oil made of dogwood, peeked at the old lady who was burning the fire under the stove without paying attention, and quickly took out a small gourd from the blue cloth apron, pulled the stopper, and played some pepper noodles into it.

Pepper noodles are still relatively rare at this time, and the price is relatively expensive, not everyone can enjoy it at this food stall, and the Japanese man next to him is greedy.

Noodles and Ma Qiao are the first two people Yang Fan met after coming to Luoyang, he settled in Luoyang, bought a house and land, and recruited Fangding, thanks to the help of these two people, so Yang Fan has the most friendly relationship with these two.

Noodles love him as if he were his own brother, Yang Fan seems to be able to vaguely see a little bit of his dead sister's charm in Noodles, and he really treats her as his own sister.

The dough sheet quickly completed the process of stealing pepper noodles, and saw that the old lady was burying her head in firewood, and she didn't notice her small movements, so she playfully stuck out her tongue at Yang Fan and pushed the big bowl over.

Yang Fan took the big bowl, thanked Miss Jiang, slapped the three big coins on the case, and said loudly: "Three coins" The pretty face tensed, and she glared at him with disgust.

Yang Fan's salary is limited, no one takes care of a bachelor's life, and there is no plan to spend money, so Jiang Xuning usually takes care of him, Yang Fan can deal with three meals a day, and often comes to her stall to eat noodles, Jiang Xuning will not accept his money as long as he sees that his mother is not paying attention.

Yang Fan doesn't treat noodles as outsiders, and he happily accepts his sister's wishes.

But recently, he learned from Ma Qiao that the reason why Sister Ning worked so hard and got up every morning to make snacks was to save for a dowry.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was very important for women to marry and marry, and it was difficult for a poor girl to marry, even if you were born beautifully, unless you married a poor rough man in the mountains, the dowry was too thin, and it was inevitable that she would be despised by her husband's family, so that it would be more difficult.

Sister Ning since the death of her father, the mother and daughter sit on the empty mountain, the family is not good, at the end of this year she will get married, the husband's family is the Yongkang Fang Liu family, although there is no fame, but it is also a scholarly family.

The mother and daughter were afraid that the dowry would be thin and the husband's family would look down on her, so she started to make money by selling snacks three years ago, all because she could have a decent dowry when she got married.

He deliberately said it loudly, just to attract Jiang's mother's attention, so as not to push the noodle sister.

Yang Fan knew his sister's kindness, so he smiled apologetically at Jiang Xuning, and then picked up the bowl of fragrant and hot noodle soup, walked to the side under the tree, and sat on a stone to eat noodles.

There are many stones under this tree, and there is no place for eating at the food stalls, and the noodle eaters are eating here with bowls.

The people who eat noodles are all neighbors, everyone eats, and at the same time, they will talk nonsense in the south and north of the mountain, Yang Fan rarely speaks, but he listens very carefully, he is a good listener, At the beginning, Zhang Storm, the grandson of the bearded guest, broke into the governor's mansion alone in a rage, angrily took the head of Lu Yuanrui, the governor of Guangzhou, and went away with a sword, went to sea by boat, and was rumored to be one of the famous rangers in the history of the Tang Dynasty, but no one knew his name and surname, and the history books of later generations recorded this matter, and they were all called Kunlun'er without a name.

Zhang Storm came and went without a trace, seemingly chic, but was relied on by a little beggar Yang Fan, although Zhang Storm was negative and heroic, rough and bold, but he had the most important reputation in his life, and he didn't want to kill this kid because of his own affairs, so he had to take him to Nanyang.

Yang Fan lived in Nanyang for many years, followed his master to learn martial arts, and after a little success in learning, he couldn't wait to say goodbye to his master and return to Datang.

After Yang Fan returned to the Tang Dynasty, he first went to Guangzhou Mansion and found a few officials who worked in the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion back then, but unfortunately the identity of Pei Damiang was too mysterious, although because the day Lu Dudu personally sent Pei Damiang out of the mansion was the day when he was taken away by Kunlun'er, so some people still remember this woman, but they don't know her identity.

Yang Fan had no choice but to give up looking for Niuniu and went to Shaozhou Mansion again.

Ah Mei is in a wealthy family, food and clothing are worry-free, although she is a slave and a maid, but looking at the mother and son of Aunt Pei does not look like a master who treats people coldly, it is expected that she will be safe for a while, and she will not be able to find her for the time being, just because he has another thing to do, the blood debt of the slaughter village that happened in the second year of Yongchun Back then, his only clue was the appearance of the cool official who indifferently gave the order to slaughter the village.

The man with a concave hawk nose with deep nasolabial folds.

In Shaozhou, he still has nothing to gain, over the years, all the forces in the court have been tilting against each other, sometimes losing power, sometimes gaining power, and too many officials have lost their official positions and even lost their lives.

The Shaozhou assassin who issued a proclamation announcing that a plague had occurred in Huanshan Village had been implicated in Xu Jingye's rebellion and was beheaded.

At that time, the general judgment of Shaozhou Mansion had been implicated, and Yang Fan chased him to the hometown of the general judgment, but the general judgment did not know anything about the inside story of this matter, and the only news he knew was: Those people were from Luoyang, and they came from a very big place, so that the assassin of the year had to rub their buttocks for them, knowing that the victims of the blood case in Huanshan Village were all slaughtered, and they could only cover up with the outbreak of the plague, and did not dare to report to the court truthfully.

As for the origin of the eleven residents of Huanshan Village, Yang Fan's family never told him about it when he was a child, and he had no doubt that he had never left his small village, so he didn't feel that his village was different from other mountain villages, he always thought that he was an ordinary mountain person.

But after growing up and experiencing more, Yang Fan gradually realized that the small mountain village where he grew up and lived did have many different doubts, not only because of the sudden massacre of the village, but because of the many differences between the residents of the mountain village where he lived and the ordinary mountain village residents.

There seemed to be too many secrets buried in that nameless valley, and the origins of his parents, his neighbors, and everyone were full of secrets.

Unfortunately, it seems that the household registration of every elder in the village has been tampered with, and Yang Fan can't find out their earlier origins based on those household registration materials, and their identities, origins, including names, are all fake.

The reception of them was all handled by the Lord Assassin back then, and even the general judge found by Yang Fan did not know the details, and the resettlement of more than a dozen villagers actually needed to be handled by a Assassin Shi himself, and he didn't even dare to fake others, which was already too weird.

However, people in the officialdom, in line with the idea that more things are better than less, no one took the initiative to inquire about these things, and Yang Fan learned almost nothing from the mouth of that state judge.

The only useful thing is to find out the origin of that army from the mouth of that state judge, that is the Longwu Army, the only all-cavalry army in the Tang Forbidden Army.

So, here he came.

He spent money to buy a household and moved into the Xiuwen Workshop, where many court officials lived, and became a pawn here.

In the past six months, he has adapted to his identity and is familiar with the environment of Luoyang, but the news he wants to inquire about is still fruitless.

What impressed him the most was the green-robed civil official, but the people he could contact were limited, and the status of the people he could contact was not high, so it was impossible for him to draw the unforgettable appearance of the official from memory, and he went to ask people all over the street.

The more reliable investigation clues were the army he didn't know anything about at the time, the Long Wu Army.

An army sent out from the eastern capital of Luoyang traveled thousands of miles to Shaozhou to slaughter a village, there must be a major reason, there must be an ulterior purpose, and there must be a high-ranking main messenger behind it.

But the strange thing is that after more than half a year of investigation, he still didn't find any clues, as if there had never been such a group of people who had done such a conscientious thing.

He once wondered if the bloody case was the work of the imperial court, but as he investigated step by step, this suspicion was gradually dispelled.

There are no traces of all the traces, any possible clues have been erased, with the courage of the Empress of the Dynasty, there are so many princes in the Li Tang clan, she said that she would kill them, and they were all slaughtered, and they were slaughtered all over the house, and they had never been twisted and pinched once, so why should they cover it up like this These days, on the one hand, he started from the official, on the other hand, from the civil investigation, many things about the officials can not be found from the official face, but the people know very well, don't look at the low status of these people, but some of them are working as servants in the homes of wealthy families, some people are taking care of the homes for the official eunuchs, and some of them have someone in their own family who is in the official eunuchs and wealthy families as account keepers, or the ladies are cooks and midwives in the wealthy families, so many things that are not humane to outsiders cannot be heard from the side, but they can be heard from their mouths.

Xu Xiaojie, who was in a hurry, knocked on the rice bowl twice and began to croak.

Xu Xiaojie is a "foot catcher", and his family has a donkey called him.

Every day, he led the donkey to a prosperous place or to wait at the gate of the city, and someone hired his donkey, and the hired person rode on the donkey, or used his donkey to carry goods and luggage, and he followed on foot, so it was called "chasing feet".

Because of the variety of guests he contacts every day, he is well-informed, so every day Xu Xiaojie always has some new jokes to tell you, and every day is the first time he tells all kinds of things he heard yesterday: "Cough yesterday, when I was in a hurry, I heard an interesting thing" : New book, sincerely ask for recommendation votes:
