Chapter 939: A Dark Corner (1)

The city is a strange place born after the gathering of human beings. Here you can see the glory and achievements of human civilization, and you can also see the greed and filth of human beings. No matter what dynasty or generation, no matter what city it is, it has its glamorous side and its dark and murderous side. These two sides are not limited and controlled by the city's administrators and occupants.

Chang'an, in the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that except for Rome in Europe, which can be compared with it, there is no place on earth that is more magnificent than him. After the transformation and subtle influence of Su Ren, an outsider, I am afraid that it is even more superior and huge than Rome, and has become a temple in the hearts of people all over the world.

Of course, no matter how brilliant and magnificent the huge and brilliant Chang'an City is, it still can't escape the fate of the city. Chang'an City was divided into several large pieces in people's consciousness and unconsciousness. The south of the city is the urban area renovated by Su Ren, where there are many small buildings, birds and flowers, sunshine, clean and tidy reception, neat and uniform shops, with graceful and luxurious residents, it can be regarded as the quietest and peaceful, most positive, and most desirable place in Chang'an City.

In the west of the city, occupied by the West Market and the East Market, the merchants, porters, and camel caravans from all over the world formed a huge commercial area around the huge Dahan Money Village. Here you can meet the strangest goods, the strangest animals, and the strangest people you have ever seen. The people of the Western Regions, the Huns, the Yelang people, etc., all the merchants of the countries and regions that can be named will come to Chang'an and come here. There are hundreds of thousands of goods, people, and livestock coming in and out every day. In a place as big as Xicheng, the currency circulating in one day is worth half a year's tax revenue.

The north of the city is where the imperial city is located, and it is the most deserted and serious here. Huge palaces are one after the other. The genera of different specifications surround a circle. There are only two times when it is the most lively here, one of which is that every morning when the court is on the court, the carriages and horses from the south of the city block the wide Suzaku Street, and if you stand in the air, you can see the dark Chang'an City at this time like a sharp sword piercing out of the palace. The second is the scattered dynasty. Then the lords came out one after another, and those in chariots and horses, and those with and without guards, stretched out their branches in all directions of the city like great trees.

If the south of the city is the representative of Chang'an's elegance and luxury, the west of the city is the representative of Chang'an's prosperity, the north of the city is the representative of Chang'an's solemnity, then the east of the city is the representative of Chang'an City's cold and dim. There are many wine shops and tea shops, gambling houses and brothels here. There are high-end and elegant, and there are also short and vulgar. No matter where you're from, whatever you need, you'll have to have it all here, and of course you have to have enough money.

Mingchun House is in the east of the city in the Guirenfang, the shopkeeper is a shrewd businessman, Mingchun House is located in a very good location, just between Ping'an Street and Anrenfang Main Street, the back door is facing Ping'an Street, the front door is facing Anrenfang Main Street. At the beginning of the renovation of the tea shopkeeper, there are multiple layers of considerations, the original five-entry courtyard was divided into two sections, and the side facing Ping'an Street was changed to Datong Hall, coarse tea, cakes, the price is not expensive, very suitable for ordinary people. It took a lot of thought to face the side of Anrenfang, meticulous decoration, emotional singing and dancing, and even the tea sets were carefully selected, and each set had a head and origin.

If you walk into Mingchun House from Ping'an Street, you must have entered the courtyard. The big man with his feet, the old man full of lice, and the children with snot soaked in his face gathered together in a messy and noisy manner, or listened to the newspaper man reciting the Han newspaper, or analyzed and discussed a lively event in the city and expressed his most unique and attractive opinions. But if you enter the tea spring house from Anrenfang, it is completely different, as soon as you enter the door, there is a small bridge and flowing water, surrounded by green bamboo, the boy in green clothes and small hats, and the shy and lovely maid will feel comfortable when you see it. Coupled with exquisite tea sets, beautiful techniques, and tactful music, it is simply a fairyland on earth that cannot bear to leave.

Su Kai's focus is not on the side of Mingchun House near Ping'an Street, but on the contrary, it is close to the end of Anrenfang. The people who came in and out of Ping'an Street were nothing more than peddlers and pawns, and the words that came out of their mouths were like farts at that time, and they would never forget to listen to them, because those people were far away from the core area of the Han Dynasty, far beyond their own imagination. On the contrary, Anrenfang is different, and the people who can come here and be bold are all powerful nobles.

These nobles who have nothing to do in Chang'an City and wait for death are very terrifying, their energy is actually very large, as long as they can twist into a rope, even the emperor Liu Che will be afraid of three points, but it is a pity that these people will not be soft when they stab them in the back for their own interests. These people also have weaknesses, they are very timid, but whenever a small action in the court, as long as someone secretly pushes it, it will turn into a monstrous wave in a very short period of time, for fear of falling on their heads.

Zhu Maichen, the confidant of Princess Guantao's mansion, has been coming to the Ming Spring House very frequently recently. Speaking of this, Zhu Maichen is very capable, when Zhuang Qingzhai fell, Zhu Maichen, Wang Dynasty, and Bian Tong were killed and fled. Bian Tong was killed, and the dynasty did not know its whereabouts, but Zhu Maichen took the line of Princess Guantao, and he lived in Chang'an City for so many years.

Su Kai has been paying attention to Zhu Maichen for a long time, and Su Kai has not relaxed his vigilance against this person since Zhu Maichen entered Princess Guantao's mansion. There are not many people who dare to move Su Ren ruthlessly, at least Su Kai has not seen it, and Zhu Maichen can be regarded as opening Su Kai's eyes, not only moved Su Ren, but also almost killed Leng Yue, and he survived and did not leave Chang'an, and Zhu Maichen was the only one in the entire Han Dynasty.

The people Zhu Maichen met today were very mysterious, and almost all of them were wearing wide cloaks when they entered the door. This can't stop Su Kai, he has been very familiar with the nobles and officials of Chang'an over the years, and he can tell who that person is by walking posture. limping is Gui Zihou Zhou Ning; Shaking his head is Linchuan Hou Cao Qingshan; The buttocks pouted and pouted was Changchun Hou Xiahou Pi; The one who likes to hold his hands on his chest is Fan Chao, and the other small fish and shrimp are all in Su Kai's sight. These people have one thing in common, that is, they are all at the end of their rope, and who knows when the emperor will take away the marquis and lose everything they have now.

Speaking of which, the ancestors of these people have more or less a lot to do with the establishment of the Han Dynasty, but they have no intention of continuing to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, lying on the merits of their ancestors and waiting for death, always thinking that their ancestors shed blood and tears for the Liu family, and they only need to enjoy it when it is their turn. But they forgot that there were still wolves around the Han Dynasty, and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty needed them to sacrifice their lives and forget death, at least to do something worthy of their marquis status.

As usual, the private room chosen by Zhu Maichen was the most hidden and mysterious, almost reaching the end of the entire courtyard. The room was not big, except for a few entourages brought by Zhu Maichen, everyone in Mingchunfang was not allowed to enter.

Fan Chao yelled as soon as he entered the door: "The news has already spread, what are you looking for me to do?" If Your Majesty still doesn't believe this kind of news, then there is no way. ”

Linchuan Hou Cao Qingshan had a gloomy face: "Speaking of which, these things have nothing to do with us, if you let Your Majesty know about a few of us, in case ......"

Changchun Hou Xiahou Pi sneered: "Everything has been done, let's talk about it too late!" Lao Cao, don't you want to sell us? I just swore an oath! ”

Gui Zihou Zhou Ning glanced at Cao Qingshan: "There has been no movement for so long, I'm afraid Your Majesty really didn't believe it, it's difficult to make Your Majesty believe it just by relying on rumors, do you see today's Dahan News?" Sima Xiangru wrote a special article to correct Su Ren's name, which shows that no one believes our words, and Su Ren has made great contributions this time, and when others are triumphant, if they know that we are making trouble in the future, they are afraid to think about it! Didn't Zhuang Qingzhai also ...... back then" Speaking of this, Zhou Ning glanced at Zhu Maichen: "What does the eldest princess mean?" Do you really want to keep the chestnut family? ”

Zhu Maichen glanced around: "I don't care if I don't care about the princess, what is the purpose of the eldest princess, you should know it in your hearts!" In addition, no one knows whether His Majesty believes it or not, so you can wait with peace of mind, there is another news to spread when I come to you today, I hope you can help. ”

"Ahh Cao Qingshan was taken aback: "What else is the news?" We ......"

Fan Chao interrupted Cao Qingshan's words: "Old Cao, don't interrupt, listen to him finish speaking." ”

Zhu Maichen continued: "Su Ren killed Wuhuan and Xianbei envoys, Wuhuan and Xianbei are gathering a large army towards my Han, there is a saying called raising Kou self-respect, I don't know how many people have heard of it?" ”

Zhou Ning was stunned: "Are you saying that Su Ren wants to take the opportunity to control the military power and plot against him?" ”

Cao Qingshan immediately said, "Won't it?" Su Ren's family members are all in Chang'an, if he has other thoughts, wouldn't it lead to his family's death? ”

Xiahou Pi rolled his eyes: "What is this?" When did Gao Zu care about his family when he was trapped in Xiang Yu? As long as they can win the world, what are women and children? ”

Cao Qingshan was unwilling: "Su Ren is not such a person, I have also had a few encounters with him, I think he came all the way from Shu County to Chang'an for his teacher Wendang, which is considered affectionate and righteous." ”

"Humph! There's a fart! Fan Chao said angrily: "That's because he wants to come to Chang'an to seek officials, you see that he has been running around for his official position all these years, from a businessman to a general who now holds military power, when did he manage the life and death of his family?" Who knows if that kid is his Su Ren's species? Hahaha......"

A group of people laughed in the room, and no one noticed that in that dark corner there was a pipe made of pure copper leading to another room, and Su Kai was putting his ear to the other side of the tube, hearing their words clearly.
