Chapter 392
It was so far away from the entrance of the Temple of Earth that Li Xiao couldn't move. After holding it in for several days, everyone in the capital became extremely enthusiastic about the Temple Fair. From the first to the fifth day of the lunar month, almost everyone in the capital came to the Temple of Di.
The temple fair is here. Even many farmers from the suburbs of Beijing set out in the middle of the night to go to the city to catch this excitement.
The plague had just passed, and Li Xiao really didn't want to arrange such group activities. But it was hard to live in a deserted way during the Chinese New Year. Besides, such a long curfew had compressed the people's entertainment activities to the extreme. By relying on
Violence and suppression will cause problems sooner or later. Although he is a pure soldier, Li Xiao still knows that violence can solve many problems, but it cannot solve all problems.
It's better to open up a little and let the tense air in Beijing relax a little.
Seeing the bustling crowd, Li Xiao had the urge to beat his head. Organizing large-scale group activities is a profound knowledge. It's not just two young men who can get things done by patting their heads. When I think of the countless things that will happen in the future,
The stampede accident made Li Xiao's head hurt even more.
But people have already walked out of their homes, and driving them back now is definitely regressive. Although the people will not rebel, they will inevitably complain behind their backs. We have just occupied the capital, so it is better not to incur scolding from the people.
Today, Li Xiao is wearing a furry collar robe. It is freezing cold in the capital during the first month of the year, so he wears a red fox fur scarf to keep him warm. Old people often say that as long as your neck is warm, your body will be warm.
Li Xiao thinks this sentence makes sense.
Under his feet are a pair of kick-ass shoes. The soles provided by Xing'er are very comfortable to wear on his feet. He wears a pair of shorts to cover his head, and Li Xiao also wears a tall outer hat. When he goes out,
Looking in the mirror, Li Xiao felt like Mr. Dongguo.
But looking at Shunzi behind him, Li Xiao felt relieved. In order to hide his revolver, he wore a sheepskin jacket and thick black cotton trousers on his legs. On his feet, he wore a pair of felt boots. He didn't know why.
As I thought, there was actually a red cloth wrapped around his head, which looked like an executioner at first glance.
Short haircuts are far less popular in the capital than in Jinan, and the common people's acceptance of short haircuts is very low. This has something to do with the parents' physical and skin problems. Even during the plague, Li Xiao did not dare to think about killing people.
Shave it, I guess the people will really rebel.
Nowadays, in the capital, only the Liao army is left, apart from the second raters. This is also one of the things that makes Li Xiao depressed!
In order to build a relationship with the Liao army, the second-rate son took the initiative to shave his head and try to get closer to the Liao army in appearance. Anyway, for the second-rate son, it is a good thing to be able to establish a relationship with the new ruler. These guys have been living on the streets all year round, do they have any face?
It’s hard to say. As for whether you want to be shameless or not, it’s not a problem!
Now, people are even more reluctant to shave their heads. Who wants to have the same hair style as a second-rate guy?
However, on the street, you can still see the difference between the Liao soldiers wearing casual clothes and the second-rate men. After all, the Liao army has special people in the army who are responsible for shaving their heads. The second-rate soldiers are not so convenient. They all have enough food and clothing by themselves. Their heads are shaved like a dog.
It seems awkward, no matter how you look at it, there is a gap between amateurs and professionals.
Myolie is wearing the dark red floral cotton-padded jacket that a maid wears, and she has a pink headband tied around her head. It's almost like a lady, but Xiaojiabiyu is absolutely fine.
Shunzi followed Li Xiao, looking at Li Xiao from time to time, and also at the Secret Service Company behind him, telling them not to follow too close or too far. Information is basically conveyed by eyes, so this kid
He always winks and winks. He has made several older girls spit, and several good boys want to come over and beat him up.
Xie Youcai, who was next to him, introduced some Beijing snacks to Li Xiao from time to time. Although Li Xiao had seen a lot of food, he was still not sensitive to overly unrestrained traditional delicacies such as fried scorpions.
Zu Kuan, who was clearing the way in front, bumped into a huge man with big muscles and round waist. The guy turned around and stared at Zu Kuan with a sinister look on his face.
"What the hell, buddy, why don't you feel comfortable!" Zu Kuan said with a strong taste of dirt in his mouth, and the giant man turned around and left.
We can’t afford to offend these Liao soldiers! A month ago, there were still people hanging popsicles on the trees to freeze. Now the popsicles on the trees are gone, but the popsicles in people’s hearts are still there. If a child is disobedient and cries at home, there will be
An old woman scares her children with serious words.
"Cry again! If you cry again, the Liao army will arrest you and freeze you for popsicles!"
Just with this sentence, no matter how naughty the child is, he will stop crying. He will hide in his mother's arms in fear, and his eyes will glance out the door from time to time, for fear that a guy with blue eyes and red beard will come in and catch him. Frozen popsicles are hung on the tree.
The boy was so grinning that he didn't dare to sleep for several nights.
A person is just wandering around in the crowd. Not to mention that although there are many people in this temple fair, the order is still good. After all, it is under the feet of the emperor in the capital, and the common people have seen a lot of group activities.
The temple fair is a lively place, and the stalls on the street are divided into pieces. Noodle sellers, fried dough stick sellers, pancake sellers, dough kneaders, barbecue sellers...! Li Xiao actually saw someone baking eggs.
Filling cakes, God! This thing existed in the Ming Dynasty?
I specially ordered one and looked carefully at the side. Except for the sausage instead of ham sausage and the sweet noodle sauce instead of chili sauce, it seemed that the other processes were the same.
After taking one bite, Li Xiao couldn't eat it anymore. The sausage and sweet noodle sauce tasted really unflattering. He handed it to Shunzi behind him, who immediately held it and gnawed it like a civet.
The tofu nao'er is pretty good, a traditional method in the old Beijing. One egg can fill a bucket of marinade, and there are a few pieces of black fungus or day lily floating on it. It's a pity that chili peppers haven't become popular in Beijing yet.
Otherwise, add some chili oil and the taste will be even better.
In fact, it is always easy to have a full meal! A bowl of tofu and a pancake is a delicious meal.
Sitting on a bench, Li Xiao ordered a bowl of tofu and a piece of cake!
Because he smelled so bad, Zu Kuan still occupied a table by himself even though it was crowded. Even Li Xiao didn't want to be watched by others! Li Xiao was no longer around, so he was quite relaxed.
.
A piece of pancake is rolled with pig head meat, plus a huge bowl of tofu. Open your cheeks to show your true nature. It is estimated that there will be rumors in the capital soon that all the Liao soldiers are rice cooks. Take the pancake roll
Eating pork head meat is not a meal, so what is it?
"Commander! Try this fried fruit. It's the authentic flavor of the old capital. It's just crispy. If it's not even one foot tall, we can knock him out!"
In the industry, the snacks of the old capital are very treasured. If this guy comes to future generations, he will definitely be an excellent tour guide.
Li Xiao took a fried dough stick and took a bite. It was really crispy. He nodded and continued to drink tofu.
"Commander! I want to buy a noodle maker over there." Myolie looked at the noodle maker over there and rubbed the corner of her clothes and asked Li Xiao.
"Oh! Buy two more." Li Xiao didn't even raise his head. Xing'er cheered, grabbed a handful of coins from Shunzi's pocket and ran to the noodle stall. But she quickly changed her mind because she pinched
Next to the noodle guy, there's the sugar guy. Girls are still more sensitive to sweet things.
"Hey! Where did this girl come from?" She had just squatted down before picking out the candy, when she heard a lewd voice from behind.
Looking back, Xing'er saw an even more vulgar face. The big pancake's face was full of pockmarks, and each pair of eyes looked like two holes in the naan. The mouth was quite big, revealing a mouthful of rotten rhubarb.
tooth.
"What are you doing?"
"What are you doing? What are you not doing? Hehehehe! I just want to have fun with my sister!" Da Huangya said, reaching out to pinch Xing'er's cheek.
"Pah!" Xing'er waved her hand and gave Dahuang Ya a slap in the mouth.
"Hey! Damn, she's quite fierce. Come here, drag me back. When we get home, we'll see how fierce she is." Big Yellow Fang was slapped in the mouth, but she wasn't too angry, and she still had a smile on her face.
As soon as he finished speaking, two guys who looked like servants in black came over and wanted to grab Xing'er's shoulders.
"Ouch! Which bastard dares to touch me, but if you don't ask around in Sijiu City, who am I?" Before they could get close to Xing'er, a few people emerged from the crowd and started to attack Dahuang Ya and his men.
Punches and kicks.
These guys were obviously all practitioners, and they knew the pain points of various parts of the human body very well. They hit people specifically on the soft and painful areas of the flesh, and several of them fell to the ground and screamed in agony.
"Fuck you grandma! My brother-in-law is here to be punished by the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen. If you dare to beat me, I will hang you up on a tree and freeze the popsicles." Dahuang Ya pointed at the person who attacked him and shouted loudly.
The person who did it was from the secret service company. When he heard what Dahuangya said, Li Xiao, who was still drinking tofu, frowned. In a city with millions of people, it is inevitable that there will be some urban foxes and rats. However, there are usually some city foxes and rats above them.
There is a protective umbrella.
He gave instructions to Xie Youcai and continued drinking tofu nao and watching the show.
Xie Youcai bowed to Li Xiao, separated from the crowd and walked to Dahuangya. "Whoever's crotch is not tied tightly, let your kid run out. He is the brother-in-law of Mr. Ti Xingguan. It's not like pretending to be an official.
This is a pretense. You teased my little lady and used the pole and flag as a tiger skin, so I am afraid of you?"
"It's your grandma! Grandson, do you dare to wait here and let me go back and call someone?" Dahuang Ya was beaten until the corner of his mouth bleeds, and he spat on the ground. I just heard that those who beat him had a Hebei accent, and now they came out again
A standard Beijing accent. Dahuang Ya is no longer afraid! Now in the capital, everyone is afraid of the Liao soldiers who smell like dirt.
It's a pity that Dahuangya made the wrong calculation. The place where the secret agent company recruits soldiers is Cangzhou. It is the hometown of martial arts and there are many masters. Therefore, most of the people in the special agent company have Hebei accent. As for Xie Youcai, he is full of Beijing movies.
"Call someone? You're so quick to tell, who are you calling? Call your brother-in-law, the executioner? I say, you can just sell it to your sister. But your brother-in-law is the one on the street, and you can't even call him.
These brothers and I will be trampled to death." As a big teapot, there is nothing wrong with what you say. Xie Youcai just opened his mouth to use such shabby words.
"Grandma! If you have the guts, just wait here and don't leave!" Dahuang Ya knew that he was no match. He got up as soon as he got up, and without even having time to flutter the dirt on his body, he separated from the crowd and ran away.
"Ouch! You've caused trouble. His brother-in-law is really a punishment master. Let's go quickly, don't suffer a loss."
"Let's go quickly! These people are undercover! Don't let them get in, or you'll have to peel off your skin."
As soon as Dahuangya slipped away, there were people on the side trying to persuade him.
What a good guy, he is still a well-known person. It seems that this big yellow tooth is also a local snake in this area.
Just after finishing a bowl of tofu puffs, I heard a commotion on the street. Then I saw more than 20 Shuntian Mansion officers running over with knives in their hands. Seeing Xie Youcai and several people from the special agent company, they all drew out their swords.
Here comes the knife.
"I would like to see who is so bold and dares to insult me!" A guy about fifty years old, wearing a sixth-grade official uniform, came over and looked at Xie Youcai and the soldiers of the special agent company.
"Who are you? There are so many brothers-in-law here, and you are the only one who stands up to avenge my brother-in-law?" Xie Youcai glanced at the official. He knew in his heart that no matter who you are, you will be unlucky today.
"Boy, you will pay the price for your sharp tongue today. I want to see if you can still be as sharp as a knife in Shuntianfu Yamen. Come on! Take it down! If you are in the way, kill without mercy!"
The executioner Huang You was so angry that one Buddha came out of his body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. His brother-in-law usually didn't worry about it. Today he led people to maintain order at the temple fair. The boy stumbled over. He didn't intend to take care of it. But the brother-in-law
After Xie Youcai's words, Huang You couldn't sit still. He wanted to catch this troublemaker and spread his ass.
No! It’s about opening up your mouth so that that stinking mouth never dares to arrange itself again.
"Hahaha! Okay! Come and catch me if you have the guts!" Xie Youcai laughed loudly and stretched out his hands to be grabbed by the officers. The soldiers from the special agent company behind him also stretched out their hands to be grabbed by them.
"Take it away!" Huang You ordered, turned around and left. Under the public gaze, he did not dare to be too blatant. But when he got to the Shuntian Mansion Yamen, he would let these bastards taste the pain.
Seeing them being taken away, the people present shook their heads and sighed.
"Finish the account!" Li Xiao ordered, and Shunzi immediately took out a dozen copper brothers and threw them on the table.
"Huang Tixing, you are not in charge of the Ditan Temple Fair. Why are you back?" As soon as he walked to the gate of Shuntian Mansion, Huang You saw Yin Sun Ruyou of Shuntian Mansion coming out.
The Shuntian Prefect in the capital had already run away, so Li Xiao had no choice but to capture Sun Ruyou, an old acquaintance from the Ministry of Rites, to be the Shuntian Prefect. Anyway, he used to be the sixth-rank chief. Now that he became the Shuntian Prefect, he was promoted.
"We have caught a few troublemakers and are about to put them in jail."
