Chapter 250: Patrol in the Shadows (1)


Zuojinwu Weifu Yamen is located in Buzhengfang to the east of the imperial city.

Zhao Ziliang and others were all dressed in casual clothes.

They set out from Zuojinwu Weifuyamen on foot and passed through Buzhengfang to Jinchun Street.

The so-called Jinchun Street is A street that crosses Chang'an City between Jinguang Gate and Chunming Gate, passing through Zhuque Gate in the Imperial City and crossing with Zhuque Street.

Opposite is Yanshoufang, close to the wall on one side of Buzhengfang.

Zhao Ziliang and others walked slowly along Jinchun Street towards Jinguangmen.

Jinchun Street is the most important street in Chang'an City besides Zhuque Street.

This street is very spacious, with a constant flow of pedestrians and horses, and obeys the traffic rules and habits of pedestrians, cars and horses keeping to the right.

Zhao Ziliang could see from the faces of each passerby that the people of Chang'an lived a prosperous life.

Although all living things were different, every person's face was filled with confidence.

This was something Zhao Ziliang would find difficult to see even in the metropolises of later generations. phenomenon, this self-confidence originates from the lofty sense of national pride.

The name Tang Dynasty has been resounding throughout the world for more than a hundred years.

Everyone has been given the identity of a subject from the mother's womb.

This is innate.

Come with confidence and temperament.

Chang'an City is really too big.

It took Zhao Ziliang and his party half an hour to get from Zuojinwu Weifu Yamen through Buzhengfang to Jinchun Street.

After walking for another half an hour, they arrived at Jianquanfang.

Opposite to Jianquanfang was the world-famous Chang'an West Market.

Zhao Ziliang stopped and looked around, and asked his two generals, the left and right street envoys, and the chief minister.

He Lushi joined the army and said: "We have been walking for half an hour since we set off, right?

Why didn't this general see a group of patrolling soldiers?"

The security patrols during the day were under the jurisdiction of two middle-ranking generals.

Gao Huaide, the left middle-ranking general, and Jia Mingyuan, the right middle-ranking general, looked at each other.

Their expressions were a little embarrassed.

At the same time, they were a little angry.

They secretly cursed the captain and soldiers below.

We are actually lazy at this time.

Isn't this causing trouble for the two of us?

This is the territory under the jurisdiction of Zuo Zhonglang General Gao Huaide.

He handed over his hands with some embarrassment and said: "General, the last general has repeatedly ordered us to patrol at all times.

The soldiers and generals here are getting more and more outrageous.

But this patrol Do it every day , after a long time, the captains and soldiers below were inevitably a little slack and lazy.

Moreover, it was a hot day and it was cool in the morning.

The soldiers probably wanted to take advantage of the coolness to take a rest and wait for the sun to shine.

It’s too hot to even take a rest.”

Zhao Ziliang's face looked a little ugly.

If Gao Huaide did not defend himself or shirk responsibility, he would feel better.

Gao Huaide was obviously shirking his own responsibilities and also defending the captain and soldiers below.

He suddenly felt angry and even Gao Huaide interrupted him before he could finish: "They don't patrol now when it's still cool.

Will they patrol when it's hot at noon?"

"This" Gao Huaide was speechless.

The other two former Zhonglang General Wu Huizu and Hou Zhonglang General An Peidong, who were in charge of military affairs, looked at each other and felt very happy in their hearts.

Being scolded by a young man who was more than ten or twenty years younger than them was still a feeling.

It was really uncomfortable.

They deeply understood the feelings of Gao Huaide and Jia Mingyuan.

There are four Zhonglang generals and two street envoys under Zhao Ziliang.

The former Zhonglang general Wu Huizu and the rear Zhonglang general An Peidong are responsible for commanding the left Jinwu guard and right guard troops under Zhao Ziliang's jurisdiction, while Zuo Zhonglang general Gao Huaide Jia Mingyuan, the right lieutenant general, is responsible for the security patrol in Chang'an County during the day, and the necessary soldiers, horses and lieutenants They needed to find Zhao Ziliang.

After Zhao Ziliang issued the fish talisman, they took the fish talisman to Wu Huizu or An Peidong.

When the night curfew came, the security patrol work was handed over to the left and right street envoys.

The left and right street envoys took Zhao Ziliang's Dispatch Troops and Fish Talisman to find An Peidong or Wu Huizu to dispatch troops and horses for curfew and martial law patrols, and participate The soldiers and horses patrolling during the day or night curfew are often changed, but many times for convenience or because the right guard general wants to make money, a fixed part of the soldiers and horses are arranged to patrol during the day or night for a long time.

Patrolling at night, these lieutenants and soldiers will have the opportunity to make money, or Sometimes, for the sake of trouble, the generals and lieutenants above arrange only one group of soldiers to patrol the streets every day or night, basically without changing shifts.

As a result, the patrolling soldiers can't stand it and just want to hide and be lazy. , Zhao Ziliang already knew something about this after sending people to secretly investigate during this period.

Patrolling is a relatively hard job.

Sometimes a soldier has to patrol for a whole day, and his legs are numb and his feet can get blisters.

The captain who is riding a horse has blisters on his legs.

After such a hard day, Under the circumstances, of course they will find ways to be lazy.

Zhao Ziliang's words made all the generals and officials under him lower their heads.

Just as he was about to say that he was going to inspect the Western Market opposite, a carriage stopped on the street.

The curtains of the carriage were slightly opened by a white and tender hand, revealing a beautiful face with oval seeds.

"Mr.

Zhao, why are you playing here?"

A pleasant voice came from the side.

Zhao Ziliang was shocked.

He turned around and was stunned for a moment, but then he heard the pleasant voice coming from the lathe: "Why, Mr.

Zhao doesn't know the slave family anymore?"

It turned out that the woman in the carriage was Yang Yuhuan.

Zhao Ziliang quickly smiled and said, "It turns out to be Miss Yang.

I and these friends are going to go shopping in the West Market.

Miss Yang is preparing to leave the city."

However, Yang Yuhuan was silent for a few seconds and said: "It's been a long time since the Nu family visited the West Market.

I wonder if Mr.

Zhao would mind if the Nu family comes with you."

Zhao Ziliang was shocked.

Yang Yuhuan called herself a slave in front of him.

If anyone knew her identity, she would be in a lot of trouble.

Looking at Yang Yuhuan's face, it seemed that this woman had cried. , what's going on Zhao Ziliang quickly felt that something was wrong.

He had always trusted his feelings.

He thought that his relationship with Yang Yuhuan was not so good that she would go shopping with him after they suddenly met.

But at this time The beauty is already Having said all the words, there were so many subordinate generals and officials around him.

Refusing at this time would only make these people think wildly.

He had no choice but to agree: "We don't mind, as long as we may have to walk a long way.

You may be a little tired after walking all the way.”

"It's okay, it's okay, I just want to walk and stretch my muscles."

The beauty in the carriage lowered the curtains, quickly put on a white gauze hat to cover her face and stepped out of the carriage, and told the coachman to wait at the gate of the West Market.

Zhao Ziliang saw that Yang Yuhuan was thoughtful and covered her face with a white gauze hat.

Now he was not worried about her beauty being seen and causing riots, so he asked Gao Huaide: "Where do the patrol soldiers on Jinchun Street usually rest and change their shifts?"

Gao Huaide hurriedly said: "It's just opposite the West Market Gate at Jianquanfang, leaning on the street, and you'll be there in just one mile's walk."

"Let's go over and take a look," Zhao Ziliang said, ignoring the reactions of others and striding forward.

Yang Yuhuan saw Zhao Ziliang walking in front with his hands behind his back, and couldn't help but speed up a few steps to catch up with him and walk side by side.

As he walked, he asked: "Mr.

Zhao, why do you think you are so sneaky?

What are you doing?"

Zhao Ziliang was a little dumbfounded when he heard this.

He turned around and said helplessly: "Don't say it so harshly, okay?

We are conducting an unannounced visit in secret.

No matter what you see later, don't say anything, just watch."

Yang Yuhuan suddenly said in shock: "Mr.

Zhao, are you going to visit a brothel?

The slave family doesn't go to that kind of place."

When the people behind him heard this, they couldn't help but turn their heads.

The rear commander, Ambed, couldn't help but laugh out loud, but he soon realized something was wrong, so he quickly stopped laughing and turned his head.

"Ahem, what's so funny about laughing?"

Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but turned around and cursed a few words, and then said to Yang Yuhuan: "Of course not, we are all gentlemen, how could we go to a place like that?

Miss Yang has been so unlucky recently. good" The topic was successfully changed.

When Yang Yuhuan saw Zhao Ziliang asking about his current situation, he remembered the big quarrel with Li Hao just now over the issue of distrust, and couldn't help but shed tears.

When Zhao Ziliang saw it, he secretly thought that it was not good.

This sentence made Yang Yuhuan cry.

He was afraid that Yang Yuhuan had not been living a comfortable life recently.

At this time, this great beauty was crying next to him.

How about this?

is good He could only comfort him: "Ms.

Yang, what's wrong with you?

You looked at the street.

It's so bad that someone saw you crying.

People who don't know thought someone bullied you.

Let me tell you slowly.

Don't cry.

Is it okay?”

Yang Yuhuan also realized that it was not good for him to cry on the street, so he immediately took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his tears.

Soon, a few people walked to the place where Zuo Jinwuwei took over and rested on Jinchun Street.

It was a very narrow alley that could only accommodate two people.

It was also a dead end.

There was a small alley on the left at the end of the dead end.

There was a small door.

When Zhao Ziliang opened it, he saw a dozen shirtless soldiers gathered around a square table.

Their weapons and armor were piled up beside the wall.

One of the strong men shook two porcelain bowls with butt-jointed mouths with both hands.

While shaking, he shouted: "Bet, bet, bet quickly, bet quickly."

"Yeah, it must be an odd this time.

I don't believe in evil anymore.

I got nine doubles in a row.

This time it must be an odd.

I bet ten cents."

A man with a sinister eyebrow cursed and took the ten cents of money on the odd position. .

"I'll place a bet too, five cents."

Another man dropped five cents on the table.

"I bet on double, five cents."

"I also bet on double, ten cents" Everyone around the left placed their bets.

The strong man who rolled the dice placed the two porcelain bowls containing the dice on the table.

When he saw the gambling money on the table, he shouted: "Why are you betting so little ten or five cents?

What else is there?"

Fun” One of the people who placed the bet said dissatisfied: "Brother Gu, you won all the money.

We just want to bet more and there is no money."

The strong man at the banker cursed and said: "Okay, okay, you can bet as much as you want, bet all of them, I'm going to open it, okay, it's open, it's open, one, four, five, double."

"Oh no, we lost again."

All the soldiers who placed bets were immediately dejected, while those who won money were overjoyed.

Just then, someone discovered that Zhao Ziliang and others had been watching behind them for a long time.

One of the soldiers shouted: "Hey, do any of you know where this place is?

Get out.

If you don't leave, I will arrest you all."

Enter Zuojinwu Guard and lock him up."

Gao Huaide was already turning blue with anger.

His immediate boss, Ziliang, a noble man in the capital, and Zhao Ziliang, who was notorious in the eyes of the dandies, were here.

Not only did these soldiers not patrol the streets, they also gathered people here to gamble, which made it even more difficult for them to do so.

What was so difficult was that they actually threatened to imprison Zhao Ziliang in the Zuojinwu Guard Prison in front of him, the lieutenant general in charge.

Gao Huaide was about to step forward and slap the soldier who spoke.

Zhao Ziliang grabbed him and smiled at the soldiers: "You are gambling, come on, let me take a look."

After saying that, he pushed aside the two soldiers and walked to the table.

He picked up the dice in the porcelain bowl on the table and looked at it.

He put it in the bowl and covered it with another porcelain bowl.

He took out an exquisitely carved half gold medal from his waist and threw it on The man on the table said: "Come on, come on, I'll play some too.

This is my gambling capital.

I'll be the banker and decide the outcome.

If you win, I'll pay you two for one.

If you lose, all the money you have will belong to me." ".

"This is the military talisman of the right guard general."

The strong man who rolled the dice had some eyesight and quickly recognized the half of the gold medal that Zhao Ziliang threw on the table.

This was Zhao Ziliang's military talisman as the right guard general of Zuo Jinwu Guard.

There is half a piece, and the emperor has half a piece in his hand.

After recognizing this half of the troop mobilizing talisman, the dozens of shirtless soldiers who had just gambled were so frightened that they all fell to their knees on the ground and shouted for mercy
