Chapter 1891 Stop and fight 49
It was getting dark outside, and people started lighting lamps everywhere. It was almost time, and Xining led all the "brothers" down to the teahouse.
There are already a lot of people on the street, and many businesses and people have begun to light lanterns and hang them high. As the night gets darker, the streets get brighter and brighter.
Most shops are closed, only food shops are still open. There are small stalls in front of the closed stores, and the salesmen carry burdens to sell all the way. There are many things and they are not expensive. This time the four followers quickly took many things into their hands.
Xining was holding a rabbit lantern in one hand and a candy man in the other, licking them as he walked. Although the current environment is not as good as the previous era where fatness was regarded as a beauty, people who are too thin are not favored either. A little plumpness is still regarded as a blessing, so just a little bit of sugar, so there is no need to worry about getting fat.
As long as the country is peaceful and the people are safe, life in the ancient plane is actually better than in the modern plane.
Follow the crowd and slowly go to the tower. When we arrived at the gate, it was already crowded.
The Queen Mother and the Emperor appeared, and under the shouts of the ceremony officials, everyone knelt down to salute. After the ceremony, they began to watch the fireworks.
In fact, this is nothing interesting to see. The ancient fireworks are far less brilliant than the modern ones. The main thing is to feel the scene of the king and the people enjoying themselves in this plane.
After watching the fireworks, everyone knelt down to bid farewell to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and then some went back to their homes, while others continued to play. After all, it is a festival like the Lantern Festival, and the lantern festival ends at midnight, but some wine shops and archways are still open until the early morning until the last customer leaves.
It had been a day, and Xining was tired, so he planned to go back home. There was no way to ride on the bullock cart, so there were so many people who had no choice but to walk back home. Fortunately it's not too far, just three streets away. If you want to go back quickly, you can take a shortcut and go through the alley.
It was a bit unsafe to walk in the alley at night, but after looking at the people around her, she felt confident to choose the alley. Who is she? She is the leader of Black Tiger Village, a female bandit. She is the only one who robs others, and no one else robs her.
The alley was dark and long, in sharp contrast to the noisy splendor not far away. The silence in the alley is in sharp contrast to the excited chatter of pink willows and green trees.
Taohong Liulu has always been nestled in Black Tiger Village. Not to mention the capital, she has never been to a small town. To be able to see so many people at night was beyond their wildest dreams, and they were inevitably excited.
Suddenly a dark figure jumped out from the side, wearing brocade clothes, a sweat scarf covering his face, holding a stick in his hand and hitting her.
"Captain, be careful!" Taohong reacted quickly and suddenly raised her arm to block the attacking stick.
With a "bang~" sound, Taohong's forearm received a solid blow from the stick.
"Peach red!" Xining was shocked. This stick might have broken his arm.
The opponent's attack failed to reach its target and continued to attack her, but Liu Lu next to her kicked him away with just one kick. The man flew five steps away before falling heavily to the ground.
"Peach red." She was so frightened that she threw everything in her hand and quickly checked.
"It's okay!" Taohong touched the cowhide wristband.
Most of the minions in Black Tiger Village wear cowhide wristbands, which are made from raw cowhide cut and dried in the sun. When the iron capital is under the control of the court, it can replace the iron bracer.
Fortunately, the leader of the village doesn't wear a good skirt or jacket. He likes to dress as before when he goes out. They, the maids, have no choice but to follow suit, otherwise the stick would be slapped on them today.
Despite this, Taohong still grinned from being beaten, her arms were numb, and she said bitterly: "Hit, beat this guy to death. This bastard wants to beat the village leader to death with a stick!"
Xining shouted: "Just teach me a lesson. Don't cause any deaths. The capital is no better than outside. There is no place to dig holes and bury corpses."
Needless to say, everyone knows that Black Tiger Village only seeks wealth and not life. The four followers walked over and punched and kicked the guy lying on the ground. They didn't stop until the guy held his head and shouted. What he shouted was: "Zhao Fuling, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost."
"Oh, do you know me?" Xining was curious: "Let's see who it is."
The two attendants lifted the man up from the ground and took off the sweat scarf covering his face.
The face, with its thin skin and tender flesh, was bruised and swollen, but the facial features were still there. Xining checked carefully: "I don't know you! Who are you?"
The other party was so angry: "You don't know me, but I know you."
Taohong slapped her in the face: "Speak carefully, the leader of the village is asking you who you are, don't just say useless things."
Well done, Xining glanced at Taohong approvingly. Sure enough, Taohong is deeply in my heart. With Taohong, she doesn't need to take action. Otherwise, if you hit him, your hand may hurt.
The beating was not serious, but it was extremely insulting and made the other party very angry: "I will not change my surname at this time, Zhao Yongliang, the Crown Prince of Wei!"
It turns out that they are relatives of the emperor and from the same clan. Except for the prince, everyone else in this dynasty is of the typesetting generation. If he is of the Yongzi generation, and looking at his age, he is only a year or two older than the body master, then he should be the body master's cousin.
"Prince Wei~" Xining touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Is he the younger brother of Princess Minghui?"
"Yes!" Prince Wei wanted to break free from the restraints, but failed. He straightened his neck arrogantly and said stubbornly and domineeringly: "You are just a county lord, and I am the prince's son. Let me go as soon as possible, otherwise there will be dangers You look good!”
After half a stick of incense, Prince Wei was tied up tightly and thrown into the alley. The sweat towel that originally covered his face turned into a gag.
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo of of of of of use," he tried hard to get free, but he could only toss and turn around, which only made the brocade robes on his body even more dirty.
"I don't know if I'm stupid or foolish to wear so many good things when I go out for a sneak attack." Xining muttered to himself as he walked back home, holding a heavy purse, and the entourage behind him still held the newly pulled out The hostas and jade pendants are all fine jade.
That's how it should be, why take people's lives, just get money. Look, she is such a professional bandit, not wasting every opportunity, and this time it was Prince Wei himself who came to her door.
Weighed the weight, it was quite heavy, so I threw it to Taohong: "Put it away."
"Hey~" Taohong opened it and saw two gold leaves, two small silver ingots, and some broken silver. This time I got another few dozen taels of silver.
She poured the contents into the purse she wore on her waist, threw away the purse she grabbed, and then hung the purse back on her belt. Ouch, it's too heavy.
Afraid of losing it, Taohong took the purse again, held it in her hands, and happily followed the village leader back to her house.
After returning to the house, Xining took out the money and looked at it. He rewarded Tao Hongliu Lu and four attendants with twelve taels of silver each. He took out another two hundred taels of silver. On the occasion of the Queen Mother's birthday, she was rewarded by the Queen Mother. The head is rewarded to everyone in the whole house. This is called sharing the blessings. The remaining silver notes and gold leaves were thrown into the exclusive small vault.
After all the things belonging to Prince Wei are dealt with, there will be about a few hundred taels of silver notes that can be deposited into the account.
It was such a fruitful day. Not to mention Xining, even the pink and willow trees were smiling in their dreams. Beijing is such a great place!
