Liniang's carriage traveled for more than ten days and arrived in Kyoto in the afternoon. It was already early summer and the sun was as hot as fire. Just as he was about to enter the city gate, he saw several circles of people standing outside the city gate.
There were several people who looked like the Forbidden Army in front of them. Anyone who wanted to enter Kyoto had to register and answer the Forbidden Army's questions. Suspects were not allowed to enter, and those who encountered strange people would be imprisoned for interrogation.
The coachman stopped and said in confusion, "It's strange. There were no such rules in Kyoto in the past, so why is it suddenly required to be inspected now?"
A woman next to her responded enthusiastically, "It started a few days ago. I heard that the third prince of the Lu family suggested it to the officials. Oh, it's really troublesome. I have to register when I come back from visiting relatives."
Liniang heard the movement outside, opened the car curtain, and looked up to see that the city gate was wide and solemn, which was completely different from the one in Yingnan.
A huge line of carriages and horses on Chang'an Avenue filed into the palace after registration. The towering city wall is majestic, with the words "Chang'an Gate" written on the plaque. On the triangular city wall, rows of bright red flags spread out and sway in the wind.
The coachman drove the carriage to queue up for registration. When it was Liniang's turn, when the imperial guards saw her registering, one of them said, "You come from Yingnan? Why are you coming to Kyoto with such high mountains and such a long road?"
Liniang didn't want to tell him that she was here to check on family matters, so she just said, "I'm here to find my relatives."
Unexpectedly, they asked, "Looking for relatives? What kind of relatives are you looking for? What are the names of your relatives and where do they live in Kyoto?" Liniang frowned, not knowing how to respond.
The Imperial Guards felt something strange when they saw her like this, "Don't lie to bluff people, our Imperial Guards will find out."
When Pei An saw that the team had stopped moving, the figure of the young lady in front seemed familiar, so he walked forward. Seeing him coming, the Imperial Army hurriedly stood up, clenched their fists and said, "Wu Zhang Pei."
Pei Gan replied, "What's wrong? Why is the team motionless? What's wrong?" The imperial army replied, "There's something wrong with this lady. I can't tell which family I'm looking for."
When Pei An got closer, he saw clearly that it was not the one his master met in Yingnan... "Miss Li, why are you here in Kyoto?"
When the imperial guards saw that he actually recognized this lady, they didn't dare to say anything.
Liniang had a headache and was worried about the rules in Kyoto. When she didn't know how to deal with it, she saw Pei Gan coming and heard them calling him corps commander. She replied, "Brother Pei, I came to Kyoto to look for someone. Ask them to let me in." "
Pei An thought to himself, looking for someone? Haha, the master has to repay this peach blossom debt, and all the ladies are chasing him to Kyoto.
He said to the Imperial Guards, "Let them go!" "Yes."
In this way, Liniang entered Kyoto and asked the driver to drive to Liuli Lane.
The scene in Kyoto outside is so prosperous. There are a lot of people and shops in the streets and alleys. The price of land should be very high.
The teahouse pavilion is located in the bustling commercial market of Kyoto. There are also silk and satin shops, blacksmith shops, various jewelry shops, and snack vendors selling all kinds of things. The market was crowded with people, cars and horses were coming and going, it was very lively, and all kinds of sounds reached Liniang's ears.
The coachman introduced Liniang enthusiastically. He had stayed in Kyoto for more than ten years, "Madam, you don't know. Kyoto's wealth and wealth are alluring. Hey, some people turn over overnight, and some people fall into the mire overnight. I think of me back then." In the Kyoto gambling house..."
Seeing that he was going to talk about his scenery and history, Liniang hurriedly took over the conversation and asked, "Are there any folk customs in Kyoto that are different from Yingnan's?"
The coachman replied, "Kingto is naturally different from Yingnan. There are various folk activities and festivals. People in Kyoto love to do this. If I remember correctly, it will be here some time later." It’s Flower Festival.”
"Hey, madam, let me ask you more, why do you want to go to Liuli Lane? To be honest, I spent some time there before."
Seeing that he seemed to know something, Liniang hurriedly asked, "Did you just open a medical clinic in Liuli Lane?"
Coachman: "I don't know... the alleys in Kyoto are no better than those in Yingnan. Liuli Lane is the largest alley in Kyoto, and there must be more than one or two medical clinics. I only know that the area originally belonged to Jiang Mansion, but later After what happened to the Jiang family, this land was assigned to the palace."
Liniang was confused and asked no more questions about this house or that house.
While the two were chatting, they arrived at the entrance of Liuli Alley. After Liniang gave the driver the money, she got off the carriage and walked into the alley alone.
Liniang saw various small street shops in this alley. It seemed that the coachman was right. The alleys here were completely different from those in Yingnan. The area was so large that it would take time to find them.
The sound of hawking could be heard all around me. I ordered a pancake and planned to find an inn to settle my luggage first. Just take a few steps.
I heard someone say, "Come on, come on, Master Lu San is coming over here."
Liniang stood aside along with the passers-by, and saw Lu Linjian hurried past on horseback with a few guards, seemingly without even a glance at the people on the roadside.
Immediately, the man's eyebrows were flying, his face was beautiful, and he was distinguished and distinguished with a hint of elegance and sophistication.
Passersby didn't dare to make a sound until they left. Several girls whispered, "Master Lu San's temperament and figure, I really don't know which girl he will marry." "Oh, I said, even as a concubine. It's not our turn. The officials have already said that even a princess can marry him." "When it comes to marriage, well... I heard from my mother-in-law that the Lu family had intended to make a marriage arrangement with the young daughter of the Jiang family back then. "Dear." They were silent for a while, "Don't mention it...the Jiang family..."
Liniang stood beside them and was fed a lot of gossip, and her voices gradually disappeared as they walked away.
Is his family background so prominent? No wonder he has a noble temperament all over his body.
Liniang curled her lips, he must be looking for those thieves too, it would be nice if he could give her all the information. But Mrs. Liu said that what she was investigating was a private case involving an official. How could she be qualified to let such a big shot pass on information to her?
Liniang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although she knew she shouldn't belittle herself, but if she thought about it seriously, she was just a young lady from a border town. She only treated his injuries when she was in Yingnan... and he also saved her life in the hospital. . Alas, it has been offset, so let’s check it out through our own efforts.
Liniang thought about it and finished the pancakes, then took her luggage and found an inn to stay. The inn boy saw Liniang's beautiful face and graceful figure, and was so surprised that he arranged to check in.
Lying on the bed, Liniang carefully thought about her future plans. She wanted to make more friends with locals in Kyoto in Liuli Lane, and asked her where her parents lived in Liuli Lane to see if they had offended anything. people.
You still have to find something to do. Even though you have enough money, you can't just sit back and have nothing. You are good at medicine, so it would be good if you can find a medical clinic to do odd jobs. If you can't do it, you can do some hard work.
Or...well, maybe she could also write some storybooks. She liked storybooks, and she had tried to write them before, but Yingnan had a small audience, so if she wasn't interested in this, she could only read the ones from Kyoto.
She liked the story books written by a writer named Mr. Jin Liao very much, and often asked her mother to buy them.
Thinking of grandma... Liniang's heart sank. Dad and grandma, don't worry... I will definitely find the murderer behind this and prevent you from dying in vain.
