As the sun rises, the streets in Chang'an City also come alive; amidst the hustle and bustle of traffic and people rubbing shoulders with each other, they show the vitality and vitality that a metropolis should have. The city squares are scattered layer by layer as far as the eye can see. They are as regular as a chessboard and each has its own characteristics.
In the area close to the palace, behind the simple and mottled tall square walls, you can occasionally see the faint jade buildings and pavilions, hidden among the tall trees and blooming flowers and trees; but they are extremely reserved and charming. The busy city and streets outside form a sharp contrast between stillness and movement.
But along the outer edges of these square walls, and in front of the street shops that run through the cross streets inside the square, there are all kinds of stalls. Pedestrians are passing by, vendors are rushing around, and there are all kinds of cries, laughter, and The sounds of conversation interweave together to form a vivid symphony of everyday life.
The traders and pawns who sweat and toil endlessly, the clerks who shout business hoarsely, and the servants and maids who rush back and forth. Even though it was still early in the morning, most of the restaurants and tea shops were filled with customers; under the shabby shed selling breakfast food and syrup, there were even more people squatting or standing.
At least the mornings in Chang'an City belong to the ordinary people who get up early to make a living; as for the prominent families and wealthy families behind the high walls, most of them are still immersed in the afterglow and echo of singing and dancing every night, and maybe they have to wait until almost noon. Or get up officially after lunch.
The air is filled with the scent of freshly baked scones, steamed cakes, and squid cakes, and the smoke of boiling syrup, tea soup, and soup is thick; mixed with the faint smell of sweaty shirts among the crowded crowd, and the fresh smell. Cow and horse excrement and dumped garbage create a unique market atmosphere;
The horse-drawn carriage, which was trapped in the flow of people on the street, had to stop and go. Despite this, the street scene full of fireworks still makes girls enjoy watching it; they ask questions like a curious baby, and randomly select one as a target for observation and judgment.
Jiang Tian, on the other hand, made more in-depth comments and corrections on her choice of objects and judgment results; this was also a kind of disguised teaching and trial. It starts from observing the details of a person's clothing and behavior to determine the identity of the other person, and then extends to social status, family background, etc.
Otherwise, if she followed that Di Huaiying in the palace and solved a few insignificant accidents, she would be overly self-inflated and overconfident. But Jiang Tian still underestimated the girl's learning ability and understanding, or her talent for observing subtleties and her unusually keen intuition.
Perhaps at the beginning, she had limited experience due to her birth in the palace; she made several wrong judgments on randomly selected targets; but as long as she accumulates similar samples a few times, she can quickly detect the key points and differences; Create a corresponding pattern in your mind.
Even if it is a new thing that she has never seen before, she can still find the most reasonable and close answer from many details with a short observation or a very limited hint. So Jiang Tian slowly came to realize that this might be the talent she had developed since she was a child.
It is precisely by relying on this talent of observing the smallest details and seeing the big things from the small that even if there is no accident of her own, the girl has a high probability of surviving to adulthood without any danger; and then, like another time and space, she will be watched by the queen who has not yet ascended the throne. , taking him with him to face the turbulent palace.
Carefully and step by step, he experienced the dangerous and unusual political turmoil in the three dynasties of Gaozong, Wuzhou and Zhongzong; while staying on his own, he was still able to master the forbidden secrets; and even among the many long-term plans behind the empress's death, The important chips and trump cards left to Zhongzong.
But as the saying goes: people who have no immediate worries must have long-term worries; this sentence can also be said in reverse. Paying too much attention to the immediate comprehensive countermeasures and the gains and losses; it also limits the vision and judgment of the other person in history, and loses the vigilance and sense of worry about the long-term future and potential crises.
But no matter what, at least the girl at her current level has gradually shown the potential and possibility that makes Jiang Tian stand out; or it can be said that it is just her own sensitivity and insight, plus what Jiang Tian taught her in passing, Concepts of logical reasoning and deduction that span the ages.
She indeed possesses many potentials to become a famous detective in this era; no wonder Di Huaiying, who was born as a law caoist, would pay extra attention and favor to such a little girl? Of course, just a detective who solves crimes. The changes and impacts it can bring are ultimately limited.
Jiang Tian's expectations for her are naturally much higher than this; as the main entry point in this era, the scene tasks in the vision panel have not made much progress so far, and perhaps greater and more changes must be brought about. ; And this time leaving the palace is a potential attempt.
As the sun became more and more dazzling, the Jinwu disciples, Wuhou, and watchmen who maintained the all-night curfew also completely disappeared; and their presence in the market gave way to those who deliberately tattooed their bodies. , and also specializes in bad guys and bad guys showing off part of their body parts.
However, because this place is located near the palace city where officials and nobles gather, and it is also a street that is usually passed by ministers who go to court every day and officials from the three provinces and six ministries on duty. Therefore, these existences that bully the weak and fear the strong like wild dogs are not as arrogant as elsewhere in the city.
They were just clustering in twos and threes, or squatting against the wall with hunched shoulders and backs, looking and searching for something with blind eyes; or clinging to the edges of ditches and canals, swimming slowly and aimlessly with their hands in their hands. Wandering around; occasionally someone dives into an alley and disappears.
After a while, he walked out with a satisfied expression and a shy stomach; there were traces of grease or sauce on the corners of his mouth; there were traces of suspected wine stains and syrup on his clothes, on his body and hands. Either carrying or hanging one, similar to a food box, paper bag or other objects.
But there were also people who cursed and walked out empty-handed with slightly disheveled clothes; and were then ridiculed and teased repeatedly by their companions on the spot. But some people also twisted or dragged out individual disheveled men; they were obviously scoundrels and wanderers who belonged to the lower echelons of the urban ecology.
Then, being surrounded in the alley was a lesson; such a familiar scene, even if it was a different time and space, could not help but evoke Jiang Tian's memory of his predecessor. The next moment, he stretched out his paw and pointed at a certain target who was being chased and arrested on the street: "What do you think of him?"
"..." The girl looked at him carefully for a moment, until he completely disappeared into the crowd, and then slowly said: "This man is really good at dodging in the dense crowd in the downtown, but he didn't hit or touch anyone. One, reflexes and speed, and experience like that.”
"On the contrary, it was the bad guy who was chasing him. He was surrounded by more than a dozen people. He couldn't get a few steps closer. Instead, he was toyed around with him, accidentally injuring and knocking over passers-by. In addition, he also had Rongzhuang's makeup on his face. Covered up, but judging from the skin color exposed under the neck, he is not too old."
"The arms and palms that are sometimes exposed are also strong and flexible, but they have not endured the thickening and deformation of the joints left by heavy labor; they must have gone through special training and training; the clothes on the body are obviously smooth, and they are obviously hasty. In disguise, the corners are not tucked in.”
"... Therefore, according to Nunu's guess, he is not a habitual thief or a big thief, but just took away something important on a temporary basis; and he is still a foreigner who has not been in the capital for a long time. Therefore, not only does he have no local companions to support him, Instead, he was chased and chased into the market."
The next moment, the carriage driven by Wu Xuanshuang jolted slightly and suddenly slowed down; and a woman holding a child in her arms screamed for no apparent reason; she was pushed hard by the crowd and rolled onto the carriage. In front of the wheel hub on one side; it was about to be run over in the blind spot of the field of vision.
However, something seemed to have cushioned her on the ground, and she bounced up again after closing her eyes and waiting for death; her hair bun barely brushed against the stopped wheel hub, and she fell blankly to the other side with her child in her arms. At this time, the frightened child in his arms began to cry loudly, causing passers-by to shout in an uproar.
"Wan'er!" Jiang Tian called the girl and said, "It seems that someone is looking for trouble for us. Next, don't act rashly or make a sound; let Xuan Shuang handle everything; see what she does. Yes." Before he finished speaking, several bad guys were seen squeezing out of the crowd.
"Get out of the way...get out of the way...don't get in the way of someone's errand," he shouted at the same time, waving the iron-tipped stick and stick in his hand, making a driving motion to make the crowd push away, but They also blocked the way of the carriage in disguise; only then did a pockmarked bad guy step forward and said:
"This victim, your car almost killed someone, shouldn't you show your face and say something?" However, the next moment, another companion who looked more experienced gave him a heavy hand. He stepped back and whispered: "Zhang Maliao, look at the trim on the inside of the wheel hub..."
The delinquent Zhang Maliao was immediately frightened, but he also noticed that some decorations had been removed from the lower edge of the carriage wall panel and the inside of the wheel hub. This was also the reason why they, the delinquent people, were allowed to carry out daily activities in the north of the city where the nobles gathered. , one of the most basic skills that need to be mastered.
For example, carriages and horses of various specifications, as well as accessories that represent status and rank; if you just accidentally offend a noble person, maybe you will just lose this meal errand and be punished with a meal to vent your anger; but if If you get involved in the disputes between officials, you don't have to shed even a few layers of skin.
Just when he wanted to calm down the matter, he turned around and accused the woman: "You bitch, how could you not be smart on the road? You almost caused a tragedy; why don't you go buy a bowl of syrup to calm the child's shock. "He then took out a big coin and forced it into the shocked opponent's hand.
However, someone loudly said: "This statement is wrong. How can it confuse right and wrong in such a way?" (End of Chapter)
