As usual, I overslept in this chapter last night.
Of course, Jiang Tian couldn't pay attention to these little episodes; only when he encountered a suspected flower picker and broke into the woman's boudoir and embroidery building; and after confirming that he was planning to use violence to commit misdeeds, did he take the time to kill him? Destroy the opponent's crime tools.
But at the same time, Jiang Tian also clearly felt that as described by Kodak Yakou, officials and families who were slightly rich or had some status had a tendency to strengthen their own protection to varying degrees; just the guards patrolling the streets and Wuhou, The watchmen are much more frequent and intensive than usual.
And it becomes more obvious the further north you go. Therefore, when Jiang Tian arrived at the fifth cross-city street, he almost alerted the Jinwu disciples who were patrolling the streets. He was even noticed by the guards who emerged from the house, and they lit up their lamps to search for a long time. Fancai gave up.
Even near Nannei (Xingqing Palace) near the center of the city, Jiang Tian saw many people with the same high and high skills; they were in groups on the tile roofs of many buildings, running around like a night watch. It will also shout out specific passwords under accidental encounters.
They are either wearing bean crowns and light robes, or half-armored hats, and they look like they belong to the official status; but there are also some short clothes and miscellaneous clothes. But in terms of the sensitivity of sensory perception, it is even better. Therefore, if the number of encounters increases, Jiang Tian can only take a detour.
After all, he just wanted to explore the capital at night on a whim; he was not here to play Assassin's Creed in the no-survival mode. However, according to the vague memory of Jiang Tian's predecessor, it seems reasonable that there would be a large number of good players in the capital.
It has been more than a hundred years since the external expansion and internal prosperity of Qianyuan and Taixing Zhongxing; because of the long-lasting peace around China and the mainland, and the continuous development of the four barbarians and nine borders. Under the pressure of the imperial clan and the upper dynasty, although there were no large-scale battles among the border vassal princes, there were constant small and medium-sized conflicts.
As a result, in a sense, the martial arts among the people continued to flourish. Especially after the Yongtai Dynasty made it a national policy to put all kinds of disputes and conflicts between princes in the past dynasties on the official stage, with victory or defeat as the final decision, martial arts became a common practice.
Therefore, under the strong suppression of the authority of the imperial court and government officials, whether it is in the residences of princes and vassals in Beijing, high-ranking places, noble families, many martial arts dojos, guilds and business halls, temples, jungles, or on the streets gangs; in fact, they are all quite low-key.
However, due to the recent series of events and disturbances, it seems that not only has the prestige and power that Jingzhaofu and Chang'an Wannian counties have inherited from governing the capital for a long time been greatly shaken, but also the control of the various gates in Beijing has been relaxed in disguise. The intensity of control and prohibition;
However, in the court documents and various official and private reports, there is still a peaceful scene of singing and dancing in Xianning all over the world and in Kyushu. Even if there are some references and speculations in some miscellaneous notes, they are regarded as common and sensational urban anecdotes.
It was like there was a pair of invisible big hands, trying to suppress the situations that kept popping up. However, Jiang Tian felt that this situation would not last long; because there were still more secrets behind the ghost market owner Xiao Ding that he had not been able to dig out.
If the first appearance of the ferocious beast seemed like a hasty need to silence, then the subsequent incidents were obviously out of a pure need to muddy the waters and abandon and cut off clues. After all, Jiang Tian only solved the hidden dangers in Chang'an City.
Just like the answer to the guess about the duck. Even if his plot in the capital suffered major setbacks and failures; he didn't feel that the mastermind behind the creation of ferocious beasts and ghosts was hiding in the dark, and would not use this to continue causing trouble; and how should he determine his position and direction.
With similar thoughts and sighs, Jiang Tian, who had already consumed nearly a unit of energy, also slid back to the Qingqi Garden and landed silently on a treetop. At this moment, he felt that his proficiency in operating the "field" and "guidance" modes had increased a lot.
Before he left, in a bird's nest that was specially used as a mark, neither the sleeping chicks nor the mother bird woke up. And he specially arranged it in the grass beside the pool. Several loops made of rolled leaves showed no signs of loosening due to human touch and trampling.
So, Jiang Tian, who seemed quite satisfied, returned to the bookstore on the top floor of Tingliu Xiaozhu with his body covered with dew again. At this time, he listened carefully for a while. In the dead of night, there was only the faint sound of gentle breathing coming from downstairs, where someone had been asleep for a long time.
That's fine. Jiang Tian didn't mean to wake them up. He just rubbed a small phosphorus-coated roll in a small bamboo tube, which was similar to a primitive match. He lit the wind lantern with a white glass cover. Then, he placed a thought wire on the wall behind the screen fan. Add a few abbreviations to the picture.
Then, they converged on the two keywords that Xiao Ding left behind, for which there is still no clue; because these names and identities are all derived from the memories of a palace maid. There is really no guarantee that what evolution and other accidents will happen now, we need to find out again.
Moreover, almost all of the people on the list back then had official or internal positions. After so many years, I don’t know to what extent they will develop and what kind of power and status they will have. If the investigation is conducted directly, it will only arouse vigilance and fear, and even lead to counter-investigation.
Therefore, when all the acquaintances in the Jinwu Guards and the Yushi Procuratorate who had handled cases together were out one after another, it seemed that there was only Kodakya and the family behind it that could be relied upon at the moment. At this time, the last round of drumbeats and cockcrows sounded simultaneously.
This night is finally over. When Jiang Tian was lying on the soft floor of the library, full of thoughts and thoughts, he slept until the afternoon and woke up naturally; only to find that his body had been covered with a tapestry again. On the terrace downstairs, Ayun was still sunbathing with Ming Fei, talking softly.
Then he pulled the leash in his hand, and amid the crisp sound of bells on the corridor, the footsteps of the maid Shunqing, and the faint scent of lunch, he came straight up to the pavilion. In a moment, Jiang Tian could smell the quality of today's lunch: oxtail soup, cherry cheese pizza, vinegar-pickled crispy pork...
However, the next moment Jiang Tian's eyes were drawn to the hot food box she was holding in her hands; she was attracted by the black skirt with white pockets that covered her calves, the elbow sleeves and collar with floral lace trim, and the floral headband and single ponytail. It's over. Then he couldn't help but admire:
“Awesome!”
Because this classical maid outfit unexpectedly suits her, she has a tall and plump body shape; and under the relatively conservative wrapping, the curves of her body are highlighted in a tight fit; she also has a built-in The taste of a handsome and mature elder sister.
"Thank you very much for your compliment, sir..."
Of course, if it weren't for the fact that her face was slightly flushed at the moment, and she was a little uncomfortable with her hands and feet having nowhere to put her hands and feet; it was instead a look of disgust and helplessness, a mixture of forced submission and obedience, and then she gently raised the hem of her skirt to expose her thighs. , that would be even better.
"I'm not bragging. I think this outfit suits you very well! It seems that Lao Gu is still very fast in getting things done. He got it done so quickly."
Jiang Tian said sincerely:
"Replying to Sir, in fact, this kind of waiter's outfit has been circulated in Beijing for many years. Since Sir has a need, it is natural to give priority to using ready-made styles and directly modify them."
Upon hearing this, Shunqing explained softly; but her face became redder for some reason, and her hands shyly rubbed the hem of her skirt.
"That's it!"
Jiang Tian couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this. Is this a misunderstanding of his own knowledge? Obviously this is one of the many legacies/benefits left by the senior time travellers. If I had known this, I should have been more liberal with my drawings, such as opening a heart-shaped bust in the front, exposing the shoulders and back, and shortening the skirt to the thighs...
However, under Jiang Tian's admiring/philosophical gaze and served by Shun Qing, the meal was only half eaten; she felt unbearable and continued to apologize; but there was nothing When he was dressing up in men's clothing, he had a calm, heroic and firm demeanor.
At this time, the blind girl Ayun who had just fed and cleaned Ming Fei and slept with her also appeared in front of Shun Qing with soft footsteps, her face flushed. And in a tone full of sincere compliments, he said: "Congratulations to Mr. Shun. It's rare that Mr. Shun has put his thought into this."
Shunqing, who was about to change out of this uncomfortable outfit, froze when she heard this, and her face became redder and almost burning; although she knew that the other party could not see her, she still had a feeling. A feeling of guilt when one's thoughts are being talked about.
Because as she said, this kind of outfit has been passed down to the upper-class families in Beijing for many years; but according to certain conventions in these families, not everyone can wear it. At least ordinary slaves, maids and the like are not up to standard.
And often it is the personal maid who has grown up with the master, and even has a very close and close relationship; even the exclusive maid who does not avoid personal privacy and boudoir secrets can use the exclusive color. Therefore, it also represents a specific identity symbol and identification.
Therefore, when the drawing he drew by himself was sent to Lao Gu, who was in charge of the garden, it was naturally known to the family. It was immediately regarded as a certain attitude and was quickly customized. I thought it was a spare one, so I quickly sent it over for her to try out.
While she was hesitating, she thought of "Sister's" instructions and instructions; then she dressed up by mistake and appeared in front of the man. However, now that she has received the approval of "Sir", it also means that the matter is irreversible.
However, the drake's voice that sounded outside once again slightly relieved her embarrassment and embarrassment.
"Shun Qing, congratulations."
Afterwards, Kodakya, who entered the room, looked at her with a complicated meaning, and he had no time to change out of her outfit; he sighed sincerely. Then he handed out a small stack of money tickets seriously and said:
"You have grown up with me since you were a child, and we are like family members. It's a pity that I have such a bad temper that I can't make any promises to you. It's rare that you have found a place now, so I can't help but express it; promise, this It's just a little dowry from your mother's family, buy some things that suit you, don't treat yourself badly."
After hearing this, Shunqing had mixed emotions. He felt that at this moment, he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad, or at a loss, or every emotion was present, and he couldn't help but burst into tears. .
