Chapter 161 Encountering an old friend on the street
Qiao Datou looked at Liu Tixia, raised his head and whispered: "Of course who knows it! When it rained in Yongning Marquis, it was still the ones I and Mr. Li who went to see him! It was given by us!"
"What Mr. Li?"
"Li Wei, we all call Mr. Li, who taught in Yongzhou at that time."
Liu Tixia nodded and said nothing. Li Wei's new Jinshi was a Jinshi, and he still knew that Liu Tixia still knew about the relationship between him and Xu Ping. The people from the Imperial City Department were particularly concerned about these trivial matters.
After thinking about it, Liu Tishi felt it was difficult for a moment. Qiao Datou was obviously a fool. It was useless to scare you or beat him. He might not take his life seriously. Anyway, he just wanted to speak happily, and he would be beaten to death. Why wasn't he dead? This rogue style, which is quite idle, makes people unable to start.
There was no choice, Liu Tie waved and said to the prison official: "You have two people out and take this guy to see the Taiwei with me. It's just a matter of Taiwei's words. Why bother him here!"
The garrison officer only wanted to push things out as soon as possible. At that time, he wrote a letter and drew a seal with Liu Tixia. He gave the person to the Imperial City Office. He sent two other soldiers to follow Liu Tixia to imprison the people.
Liu Tixia was Yang Jingzong's own family. Looking at the sky, he knew that he would definitely not be in the yamen at this time. He ordered two soldiers to escort Qiao Datou and walk straight to the place where Yang Jingzong's daily fun in the city.
Qiao Datou didn't care, and looked around the bustling scene in the capital.
Not long after entering the city, he turned to Maxing Street. Liu Tixia led his men to walk along the avenue.
Yang Jingzong lived in Ding Wei's old mansion at this time, outside Baokang Gate in the inner city. But he was a rogue. He was used to being rich and still did not change his old habits. He also built an outdoor house in the second Tianshui Lane in the inner city not far from home, and raised a pretty singing girl, Miss Lin, where he was a comfortable nest. With free time, he would gather people in the outer house to gamble and drink, and have a happy life.
Liu Tixia knew that at this time, he wanted to find Yang Jingzong to go to the Tianshui Lane where fireworks were everywhere.
When he arrived at Fanlou near Donghuamen, Qiao Datou looked at the magnificent restaurant and sighed: "The capital is indeed the most prosperous place in the world. This restaurant is much more grand than the Yuxian Tower I watched when I was in Yongzhou."
The soldiers who were escorting him sneered in their hearts when they heard this. It was indeed a rural local bun that had never seen the world. The Yuxian Tower in Yongzhou and the Yuxian Tower in Kaifeng City were far inferior to Fan Tower. This is the world's number one restaurant.
After sighing, Qiao Datou turned his head and suddenly found a familiar figure riding on a horse on the road. He couldn't help but shout loudly: "Isn't that Gao Daquan? Gao Daquan, long time no see!"
As an imperial guard for food, Gao Daquan had just returned to the capital from another place and was about to go to the palace to meet him when he suddenly heard someone calling his name on the street and turned around to look.
Qiao Datou went from Mount Wutai to the capital, basically begging all the way, and was dressed in rags, and was completely a beggar. Gao Daquan looked at it and then, and finally recognized him.
Seeing Qiao Datou being tied up and asked someone to walk on the streets of the capital, Gao Daquan didn't know what had happened, so he hurriedly got off the horse and walked up to stop the few people.
He saluted Liu Tixia with his hands crossed, Gao Daquan said, "I am now a commander in the Ma Junsi. This tied brother is my old friend in Yongzhou. I wonder what he has committed?"
Gao Daquan was one of the most powerful people in Yongzhou. After returning to the capital, he was highly valued because of Xu Ping's relationship and was promoted very quickly. Liu Tixia naturally recognized it and did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly replied: "I have met Commander Gao, and I am engaged in the Imperial City Division. This Han Dynasty came from Wutai Mountain in Daizhou and said that there is military information to report. Who dares to neglect it? I was about to take him to see Taiwei Yang. After meeting Taiwei a while, he naturally asked him to meet the commander."
After hearing this, Gao Daquan was shocked and hurriedly said, "At this time, don't go to see Taiwei Yang!"
Liu Tixia was confused and asked, "Why? How dare I not report such a big matter without hiding it to the Grand Marshal? How can I afford to blame me if the Grand Marshal blames me in the future?"
"You don't know. I just passed by Tianshui Lane. Taiwei Yang was recruiting people to drink money and drink. He also recruited me to come. I said I wanted to go to the palace to see the emperor, so I got away. You should know Taiwei Yang's temper. Once you drink wine, you will be able to make people angry. You should take him to see him at this time. If you are not good, Taiwei will come up with a temperament and break the person. What should I do if he does?"
Yang Jingzong was a rogue and was tyrannical. It was best to use a big stick to hit people. I don’t know how many people died under his big stick. People in the capital called him “Yang Guqiu”. Especially after drinking, he was even more wild and he didn’t care about the world.
A few years ago, he served as an official in Tongzhou. After drinking, he knocked the Tongzong of the State to the ground and knocked him unconscious. You should know that if he was a military officer like him, he would be dealt with by the Tongzong in the town. Moreover, the Tongzong also had the responsibility to supervise them. His official position was lower, and the Tongzong's real power was above these military officials. When this matter happened, the court was in an uproar. Zhao Zhennian only demoted him to the official position of Empress Dowager Yang, and he promoted him again a few years later.
Since then, Zhao Zhen asked Yang Jingzong to quit drinking. Yang Jingzong engraved the two words "quit drinking" on the seat he often sat in, and was always alert. But in fact, as soon as the wine came in front of him, he threw all of this out of the sky.
Such a person is taking Qiao Datou to see him while drinking and gambling. Wouldn't he send Qiao Datou to death?
But Liu Tie felt itchy when he heard that Yang Jingzong was drinking and gambling. As an old brother who had been lying on the streets with Yang Jingzong, his background and reputation were extremely unbearable. He was promoted by Yang Jingzong to get some food in the Imperial City Division. He was rich and all of them were Yang Jingzong alone. How could he contact Yang Taiwei? Of course, he was just drinking and gambling and looking for women. He wanted to do serious things, and they couldn't do it.
Liu Tixia crossed his hands to Gao Daquan: "Command, the Taiwei has his own sense of doing things. What's the point of drinking two glasses of wine? It's just reporting that Fanbians do such small things in detail. The Taiwei asked and let the person go. What's the point of not worrying about it? If you want to go to the palace to see the emperor, you can't delay it. Just go. When you come out, maybe the Taiwei has finished asking and you can reunite."
How could Gao Daquan believe this? Military officers like them also have their own small circle. Many people often hang out with Yang Jingzong, so they don’t know how he is? If he is in a good mood, he will be able to go smoothly, but if he is in a bad mood, he may be given a life.
Originally, the Imperial City Department often did shameful things, beat someone to death, and found an excuse to pass by. Where do you go to reason? In Yongzhou, Xu Ping always took good care of Chen Laoshi and Qiao Datou. These were veterans and descendants of Emperor Taizong when he was conquering Jiaozhi. After Xu Ping defeated Jiaozhi, he valued it even more. If he was beaten to death by a man for no reason, how would he explain to him when he saw Xu Ping? Moreover, Qiao Datou was not very clear-headed, and something was going to happen.
After saying a few words to Liu Tie, he didn't let go no matter what, but just wanted to take the people away. The colleagues there were urging him. It was not too early, and the scheduled meeting was based on luck. The earlier he went, the better.
Gao Daquan had no choice but to leave Liu Tixia and Qiao Datou for a while, and went to the palace with his colleagues.
Qiao Datou didn't know the twists and turns behind these scenes. He watched Gao Daquan ride away and boasted to the soldiers beside him: "Did you see? I said I met Yongning Hou, so I didn't lie to you? Gao Daquan was a capable manipulation by Yongning Hou when he was in Yongzhou. We met at that time and even entered the Shenglong Mansion of Jiaozhi together!"
Several soldiers kept saying a word, and didn't tell him anything, and only called Qiao Datou a fool. With his stupid temper, when he arrived in front of Taiwei Yang, he would not care about you, Yongning Hou, and beat him with a stick first.
Tianshui Lane is a place where fireworks gather in the capital. In the afternoon, there will be bellows, birds singing and flowers singing. Women of all kinds are dressed up, looking forward to the arrival of the beloved guests. The idle men running errands in the capital keep traveling around the alleys. They find guests in the restaurant, and find people to sing and serve them. Or they can talk to guests outside and bring them here for a moment. These people are in the middle and give them rewards and use them, which is also an industry.
There are small buildings and courtyards nearby, and they are single-family families. Most of the prostitutes who work in this kind of industry are female prostitutes who are old, save some money, buy a smart little girl outside, adopt them as adopted daughters, and then do the business when they grow up. Some even directly have their own biological daughters, fathers and mothers are turtle busts (mothers) and their daughters rely on their bodies to make money to support the family. There is also the most incompetent person, who is a man who is a turtle soliciting customer outside and lets his wife do business.
The law prohibits forced good people to become prostitutes, but there are always countless loopholes to take advantage of. This industry has been endless for thousands of years.
As soon as he arrived in Tianshui Lane, Liu Tixia felt that his spirit suddenly came. For no reason, he felt that he had been countless years younger. Thinking back then, when he was young, he had been a lot of idleness in such places. The rogue boys who ran around on the road were all his juniors.
Seeing that Liu Tixia was so majestic and had bright clothes, a thief came over from time to time and asked him if he wanted to find a little lady to relax. Every time at this time, Liu Tixia would always wave his hand and teach this indifferent boy a lesson.
To be a tutor, you must have the professional ethics of being an tutor. What kind of style is it to attract customers like this in the alley? I lost my identity as a sister in the small building for no reason. I have to play music and sing, play horses with Cuju, and do everything. I go to a big house like Fanlou, and I will find a wealthy man, and I will serve you comfortably and be familiar with it. Only then can I find a lot of money for my sister.
