From this, Jiang Tian once again personally led the team and trudged into a ditch underground in Chang'an City. And when they walked through each shaft and vent, they would use whistles and messages from above, and signs hanging from the ground to survey, compare and determine the specific location.
Therefore, we waded one foot deep and one foot shallow, through the flowing turbid sewage and floating debris, and walked in underground ditches and lanes with slippery walls, insects and rats crawling all over the floor, and muddy deposits; There were strings of lights shining in front and behind, but it didn't look very eerie.
In fact, with the full cooperation of the old man with a goatee named Dai Youmeng, Jiang Tian took away half a car of eucalyptus volumes from the pile of old papers in the inner chamber; Pick out materials that may be useful to Jiang Tian.
It was just in exchange for a promise from Jiang Tian to support his grandson Dai Wenyou, the only child, to apply for one of the three affiliated schools known as the "Common People's Science Examination" and the opportunity to be a general student member of the Civil Service School every two years. Then, he will naturally handle all the follow-up steps.
Therefore, among the books sorted out by Dai's ancestors and grandsons, Jiang Tian even saw scrolls with some special marks; but they were located near the three major palaces, including the Imperial City, Daming Palace, and Xingqing Palace. and the layout of strategic neighborhoods and the construction of underground trench pipe networks.

There are even some marked routes and locations. You must know that this kind of things related to the actual and false defense around the imperial city and palaces are originally managed by Baofulang from the Palace Province and Shaofu Temple, and a batch is destroyed regularly, but they should not appear in Jingzhao Mansion.
However, this kind of thing actually happened. This made Jiang Tian inevitably have some suspicions; could it be that someone specifically swapped these things that were destined to be destroyed and replaced them with expired atlases that were originally sent to Jingzhao Mansion for retention and preparation?
In any case, with the appearance of these few things, the nature of the entire situation has changed. In a sense, when Jiang Tian saw these things, he was also tricked by Dai Youmeng, an old official, and became his potential accomplice and accomplice.
In other words, he took great pains to arrange and fulfill his grandson after his death. For this reason, he did not hesitate to take the huge risk of offending Jiang Tian, a foreign official, and causing the two to break up and be dealt with on the spot. Of course, the huge relationship in his eyes is just that.
Therefore, in the end, although Jiang Tian won his terms, he also found an excuse to detain him together to assist in the investigation. In fact, when the dejected old official Dai Youmeng was brought in the carriage that came with him, the officials of Jingzhao Mansion breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that this disaster star has found the prey he wants; that also means that other people who may have various tricks and problems have also temporarily escaped this investigation. There is even more time and opportunity to deal with the aftermath quickly.
Therefore, Jiang Tian quickly and legitimately summoned many people, and based on the drawings he had already mastered, he assigned fifteen teams composed of members with different identities to enter Chang'an's underground ditch network and carry out pulling operations based on the drawings. Teams of web-based scavengers and explorers;
This time, the focus of the search was on the North City area of Chang'an, where wealthy families and officials gathered. At the same time, within the scope of these network channels and leading to important nodes on the ground, temporary assembly points for equipment and soldiers are set up so that in the event of an emergency, they can go to the nearest place for support and response.
At least, for Jiang Tian, who had just experienced the global epidemic in those years, this level of organization and deployment was just a familiar copy of the book. As a model of always leading by example, Jiang Tian also "randomly" selected Liquanfang in the north of Xishi City.
Liquanfang was named after the sweet spring dug in the second year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty. There are three-hole female crown temple, Miaoshengni Temple and Liquan Temple in the square. There are also Boshu Temple and Zoroastrian Temple. In the southeast corner are the former Princess Taiping's house, Zhongshu Lingzong's Chu guest house, the auxiliary general Duan Zhixuan's house, and the guerrilla general Zhang Xi's ancient house.
Of course, this is also the intersection where Peng Wenju, the renovation doctor, led the construction of the Royal Street dredging project. At the same time, the Persian Fanfang District and the unique Zoroastrian Temple located in Liquanfang are also among the many foreign-style scenic spots in Chang'an City, which can be regarded as models of image and dignity.
Among those popular poems of the Tang Dynasty, the romantic allusion that Li, Du, Wang Cengao and others called "Orchid wine in the wine cellar before noon, wine in silk ropes and jade jars is like milk." mainly happened here. Of course, the orchids they admire are mainly Lite or Persian species from the Western Regions.
It is the kind of image with curly hair, brown eyes, and deep facial features shown in later Tang Dynasty tricolor paintings. As for the blond hair and blue eyes advocated by the Angsa national aesthetics in later generations, it is too strange and weird for them. However, after a hundred years of great conquest, the orchids in Chang'an City have also become more diverse.
Just passing through one of the streets, one can see from the black hair and black eyes of the Daqin species (Eastern Luo), the gray eyes and white skin of the Thai and Western species (Greece), to the curly chestnut hair of the Persian (Arab) species, and the reddish-brown hair of the Jiankun species (Slavic). Hu Ji has green eyes and five radiant white, light wheat and bronze complexions.
Although, due to the rules and regulations of the house where they live, all the orchids are not allowed to go out to solicit customers; but just standing in their respective restaurants and restaurants, amid the various competitions full of involution, it is almost like In a sense, it is a contemporary ethnographic museum and landscape.
Of course, Hu Ji who can appear here and have the opportunity to show her face is the lucky one among the lucky ones. The vast majority of them were trafficked from their hometowns across the sea, and were selected and matched with Tuozhi Tang people recruited by the princes from outside the vassal state.
Only the best and most distinctive among them will be sent to the Imperial Capital of China/Chang'an City; and then after an unknown selection and competition, they will become a member of this unique street scenery. , forming the facade of Orchid Restaurant in Fanfang District, Liquanfang.
This is also their main opportunity to change their destiny. It was regarded as a unique ornament by a powerful or wealthy family in the capital city, and was bought home or stored in the back house; then, they gave birth to a son and a half daughters without any worries about food and clothing, and began to exchange blood for the offspring. Become a Tang person.
As for why Jiang Tian knew this, it was still because of his predecessor; as one of the places where his predecessor frequently collected stories and materials, he also had some dealings with the orchids in these Fanfang wine shop streets. If he hadn't been short of money, he would have thought of supporting one of them.
Because although the income in this industry is high, it is also a short-lived meal of youth, and the competition is particularly fierce compared with those in the industry, and the replacement rate of old and new ones is quite high; in a few years, there will be a new batch of younger and more beautiful ones. where; or someone just disappears quietly.
So this group is quite realistic. When the time of replacement is approaching, they will try their best to find a partner as a fallback and support. And what they like to find the most are poor scholars who have been studying in Beijing for a long time; just for the sake of gambling, just to get the chance of winning the official position.
Therefore, the predecessor of Jiang Tian, who had a local registered permanent residence, almost failed to control the situation and became a spare tire for several of them. It's just that things have changed and people have changed, and the beauty is easy to change; what remains unchanged is the beautiful face like a flower smiling in the spring breeze in the street.
While thinking slowly, I passed through the corridors, alleys and intersections. Following the announcement from the pathfinder sergeant in front, Jiang Tian had arrived at the underground structural map, the first reconstruction node and open space of the original Yujie Henggou repair project.
Unsurprisingly, this node where running water gathers seems to be quite well repaired; on the wall with obvious traces of new and old repairs, there is a dull sound when knocked on the material, which has a texture similar to metal; it is obviously made of Jingxihua gypsum. (Cement) One-time molding.
Next, as the distance continues to advance, the exploration team separates from the fork in the road; as well as the positioning references sent down from the upper shaft and vent; the network channel marks on the search diagram have also been successively mark, mark out and fill in a small half;
During this period, in addition to a few groups of rats that had grown extremely large after eating too much sewer sediment, the sergeants who opened the way also encountered some unknown fugitives who panicked after encountering them; as well as the underground pipe network that was obviously Among them, there are traces of several settlements that have lived for a long time.
Most of them are black people without household registration, and there are also some disabled people who have been obviously abandoned. Therefore, after being captured and blocked by officers and soldiers, they were quickly escorted to the ground for containment and screening, in order to find out the possible wanted criminals among them.
If there are no ready-made crimes that can be proven, they will be sent directly to Shayuan Prison in northern Beijing, where they will perform labor for a period of time; after they have accumulated a sufficient number and scale, they will be sent overseas to participate in expansion; this was also the era of Liang Gong. One of the remaining policy inertias.
After so many years of operation, for these various people who flocked to the capital like moths to a flame, but had to lose their citizenship under the sun; although it can no longer be said to be completely good governance, it is not the worst outcome. .
Of course, even the members of the Supervision Department who participated in the operation were somewhat disappointed and disappointed; but for those on the ground who are paying attention to the matter, the fact that there are no unnecessary discoveries in the current search operation is the best result. .
Until Jiang Tian saw the large space in front of him, illuminated by special lights, appearing for the fifth time; there were also rapids flowing from all directions, and finally converged in the vortex-shaped sedimentation tank below. The markings on the underground composition map are also slightly off here.
On the top of the large sedimentation tank that is several feet wide, there should be an abandoned ventilation channel drawn with a hand-made negative line. The next moment, Jiang Tian suddenly jumped up, grabbing the wall with one hand like nails; his other hand slapped the gray brick surface one after another, which seemed to fit perfectly.
There was a snapping sound, and an obvious spider web crack suddenly appeared in the corner of the seemingly seamless zenith; and in the next moment, it gradually cracked and collapsed. Suddenly, between the billowing dust and smoke that had been gathering dust for who knows how long and the large splash of water, an irregular gap was revealed.
Jiang Tian, who was supposed to be the first to bear the brunt, had already disappeared into the gap amidst everyone's exclamations and shouts. Immediately, a knotted rope ladder was lowered into the gap, pulling up the subordinates who were quickly assembling climbing tools below one by one.
I don't know how much time passed, but when everyone in the search team led by Jiang Tian covered their faces because they saw the sun again, his heart was filled with ice. Because right in front is a patch of green peach trees with lots of fruit but they are still green.
