Chapter 883: Chang'an Ancient Meaning
The days of returning home are very pleasant, at least in the eyes of outsiders.
Every day is full of friends, and every day is drunk and singing.
But soon, Wen Meng found that this kind of life was not more suitable for Hua Lang, at least she could feel that Hua Lang was not really happy.
Perhaps, people like Hanalang are happiest only when they fight against sin.
Of course, Wen Meng also suddenly felt that when solving the case, Hua Lang was the most handsome.
So after staying in Tianchang County for about a month, Wen Meng suddenly proposed: "Let's go to Chang'an!" ”
Chang'an has been prosperous since ancient times, and it has an indescribable attraction for Hualang, he has long wanted to go, but he doesn't understand why Wen Meng suddenly proposed to go to Chang'an.
"Didn't Miss Wen say that she wanted to return to her hometown, why did she suddenly remember to go to Chang'an now?"
"Miss Ben likes it, can't you?"
Hua Lang smiled: "Miss Wen likes it, and I, as a husband, naturally want to approve of it." ”
In fact, Hua Lang is not a stupid person, how could he not see that Wen Meng is thinking about himself?
A man should be a man who is going to the end of the world, so even if Hua Lang saw it, he didn't say it, because he really wanted to go to Chang'an.
Maybe he is a little selfish in this way, but he believes that as long as everyone goes to Chang'an together, everyone will not regret it.
So on a mid-spring morning, after everyone packed their bags, they headed for Chang'an City.
Tianchang County is quite far away from Chang'an City, and even has to pass through the capital, and the group traveled a long way, and when they came to Chang'an, it was already late spring and early summer.
The twilight spring of Chang'an still seems to have the shadow of spring, and it is not as hot as imagined, and the willow branches next to the moat give people an infinite reverie.
When the group came to Chang'an, it was just before the evening, and because it was already the beginning of summer, the sky was still very bright in the evening, and people came and went at the city gate, so it was not lively.
When a few people walked through the city gate, they got down from the carriage, firstly because they had been in the carriage for too long and wanted to come down and walk, and secondly, the doorman was going to interrogate them, and they could save a lot of trouble when they got out of the carriage.
People came and went at the city gate, and the interrogation of the gatekeeper was not as complicated as imagined, and Hua Lang and the others easily entered Chang'an City.
Chang'an City used to be the capital of the Tang Dynasty, after the establishment of the Song Dynasty, although the capital was not built in Chang'an, but the economic and cultural development here is extremely prosperous, especially the economy, there are many merchants here, merchants from all over the world come here, they trade here, they try their luck in this Chang'an City.
Hua Lang and the others also came to Chang'an City to try their luck, although Hua Lang rarely believed in luck.
A few people entered Chang'an City, and did not alarm the prefect of Chang'an Cheng, they only found a quiet inn to live in, and decided to investigate the people's situation first, and then show their identities when the time is ripe.
The night is getting deeper, tonight the sky is full of stars, the whole Chang'an is a piece of poetry, Hua Lang sat in front of the window of the inn and looked out, and suddenly felt that Chang'an City really has an indescribable charm.
The street is lonely, there are fewer pedestrians, Hua Lang is ready to go to bed after soaking his feet, he has been rushing for more than a month, he really hasn't had a good rest, but just when he is about to lie down, the thick clouds under the night sky move, revealing a semi-circular moon, the moonlight is clear, bringing a touch of refreshment to this early summer.
But just when Hua Lang was bathed in the moonlight, a black shadow suddenly flashed outside the window, the speed of the black shadow was very fast, so fast that people couldn't notice it, but Hua Lang was lying on the bed, he still felt the black shadow, he hurriedly leaned on the window and looked out, but there was silence outside, and there was no figure at all.
Wen Mengmeng saw that Hua Lang was so suspicious, and said with a smile: "Maybe you are wrong!" ”
Hua Lang shook his head: "I can't be mistaken, there was indeed a figure flashing outside just now, he may just be passing by, but in such a night, why did he do this?" ”
Saying this, Hua Lang put on his shoes and knocked on the door of Yin Wufu, and after the door opened, Yin Wuwu looked sleepy and asked, "Brother Hua, what's wrong?" ”
Hua Lang frowned slightly and asked, "Did you notice the figure outside just now?" ”
"Figures?" Yin Wuxuan was a little surprised, and nodded his head: "No! ”
Hua Lang bowed slightly, letting Yin Wufu rest early, while he went back to the house to continue resting.
After a night of silence, Wen Meng made fun of Hua Lang about it the next day, but Hua Lang had a grim face and didn't seem to like such jokes very much.
After breakfast, Hua Lang got up and said, "If everyone is fine, why don't you go with me to the vicinity of the government office and keep guard?" ”
"Where to do what?"
"There must be a figure last night, if that person has bad intentions, something may have happened in Chang'an City that we don't know yet, we have limited manpower, and the investigation is unlikely, but lurking around the mansion, we should be able to know what happened in Chang'an City as soon as possible."
After Hua Lang finished speaking, everyone felt that it was very reasonable, but it made sense, but everyone didn't want to follow and squat outside the mansion and wait, so Yin Wuxuan went out shopping with Hua Wan'er and Wen Meng, and in the end, Wen Feng was the only one who was willing to follow Hua Lang.
Hua Lang felt that it was good to have fewer people, at least not to be noticed, so with Wen Feng, the two went straight to the Chang'an City Mansion.
The Chang'an City Mansion is already a little old, even a little mottled, the stone lion in front of the door has already turned its legs colored, Hua Lang and Wen Feng asked for a pot of tea at the tea stall opposite the mansion, and then tasted it slowly, in order not to suspect them, they also chatted with the owner of the tea seller from time to time.
Through chatting, I learned that the prefect of the Chang'an City Mansion is called Li Jing'an, a descendant of the Li family in the Tang Dynasty, and now he is only in his thirties, and he has become the prefect of Chang'an, and he is very capable.
In addition to this, Hua Lang had to ask some Li Jing'an about his official behavior, when Hua Lang asked this, the boss who sold tea was still a little suspicious, until Hua Lang smiled and said casually chat, he put down his suspicion, and said: "This Lord Li, it's not good, but it's not bad, for us poor people, that's really taking care, but for some illegal things, it's not very strict, I remember once a businessman crippled a slave in his own family, this thing is not big, but it's very annoying, Everyone thought that Master Li would seek justice for that slave, but who would have thought that he would only fine the merchant for some medical expenses, and then let the merchant go back, do you say this is not angry? ”
After the tea seller finished speaking, Hua Lang took a cup of tea and drank it all, and then said with a smile: "It seems that this Master Li Jing'an Li is still an interesting person, he must meet him for a while." ”
Hua Lang just said this, and the tea seller waved his hand again and again: "I think the two of you should be exempted, otherwise Lord Li will find out that I said this, and I won't want to set up a stall here!" ”
Hua Lang smiled slightly, and said yes again and again, and at this time, there was a sudden noise not far away.
