Chapter 50: The Thief of Chang'an

Liu Han didn't go in, just looked in front of the door, there were many believers burning incense, men and women, old and young, endlessly, this was another place that puzzled him, there seemed to be no Buddhism in this era, whether in the Western Regions or here, he had never seen a temple, nor had he seen a mosque.

The people of the Western Regions believe in a religion called Lunatic Worship, and Liu Han is not sure that this religion is called Lunatic Worship, which is the name he gave, and the name of the locals in the Western Regions is literally translated. This Lunatic cult naturally worships the god of the moon, and every day when the moon is full, the congregation will hold rituals and worship activities, so every time the moon is full, both the king and the people will hold a bonfire celebration, and the grassland is full of burning fires.

Liu Han has participated in this kind of celebration many times, and he is very familiar with the procedures of the sacrifice. The sacrificial procedure is very simple, first of all, the sacrifice, it doesn't matter, it can be a roast sheep, it can also be a roast rabbit, if none of these are available, then it is okay to burn a few cakes, it doesn't matter if it is valuable, it mainly depends on the heart.

Liu Han has been to the Moon Worship Palace, the Moon Worship Hall is different in various places, just like the Taoist Temple, there are rich and poor, but no matter rich or poor, the main god Moon God is a beautiful goddess with the moon as the background, and the moon must be a whole piece of smooth white jade.

There are also Taoist temples in the Western Regions, but both in terms of scale and believers, they are much less than the Lunatic Cult, because there are too few believers, most Taoist temples have declined, and only a few large cities have them.

Seeing the Taoist temple in front of him, Liu Han suddenly felt that he should go in to have a look, but after thinking about it, he still didn't go in, so he turned around and walked again, so he walked aimlessly for a long time, and after eating a bowl of noodles at a food stall on the street, he finally decided to go to Dongfang to have a look.

The market of Chang'an is not like Guzang, there is only one square market in Guzang, there are three square markets in Chang'an City, there is also a square market outside the city, the square market outside the city is mainly to trade horses, mules, donkeys and other animals, the three square markets in the city are different, the goods from Liangzhou and the Western Desert are traded in Xifang, and from the east such as Jiangnan and the imperial capital are traded in Dongfang, and Beifang is the place where every man yearns for, here Qinglou brothels and restaurants are all over the place, at night, here is singing and dancing continuously, and the fragrance floats throughout the city.

However, judging from the information collected by Bi Liang, there is still a gold nest in the inner city, that is the teaching workshop of Chang'an City, the teaching workshop here is not an ordinary teaching workshop, it is full of wives and daughters of criminal officials and scholars, if you want to enter this place, you must be an official or a scholar, at least an official or a scholar must lead the way, otherwise it will not be accepted.

Along the bluestone avenue, Liu Han walked unhurriedly towards Dongfang, no need to ask, the cart that came out of Dongfang was the guide. Seeing that he arrived in front of the door, there was a chaotic footstep behind him, and when he looked back, a group of Mai people ran out of the alley on the side in a panic, followed by a group of gray men who chased out from inside, and the two Mai people who ran slowly were overturned in an instant.

Liu Han flashed to the side, and did not frown slightly at the two groups of people fighting on the street, this is not like a person in the martial arts, on the contrary, it is like a fight between the gangsters in the market, the people on both sides are in vain, without the slightest cultivation breath.

"Why can't the security of this Chang'an City catch up with Guzang?" Liu Han wondered in his heart, this is the city where King Qin is seated, and the security here is much stronger than that of ordinary cities.

Suddenly something didn't feel right, and his hand grabbed an arm that was about to leave like lightning.

"Ouch!"

Liu Han looked down but it was a child with a dirty face who screamed, the child was still holding a wallet in his hand, this wallet was invented by him, since he had a silver ticket, there was no need to carry a heavy silver ingot and gold ingot, Liu Han designed this wallet, specially used to hold silver tickets, simply put, no silver tickets, no wallets.

"The movements are swift enough. Liu Han was slightly surprised, knowing that since he had advanced to the Grandmaster, the surrounding area of four or five meters was under his control, and ordinary people couldn't get close to him at all, let alone steal from his arms.

The child did not look big, only seven or eight years old, with a yellow face and thin muscles, wearing a flaky piece of clothing, and there were holes everywhere.

"Let go of me!" the child's voice was brittle, his teeth were white, his eyes were fierce, and he struggled desperately.

Liu Han smiled slightly, slightly added half a force to his hand, the child was suddenly weak, and almost knelt down, Liu Han was about to speak, a group of children rushed out of the alley, shouted to beat the thief, and punched and kicked around him.

Liu Han was a little dumbfounded, these children naturally couldn't hurt him, but beating him like this made him very embarrassed, if it was an ordinary thief, he only had to raise his hand These guys had to lie down, but these were children.

The people around stared at Liu Han, Liu Han was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do, as soon as his hand was released, the child broke free, pulled his legs and ran, and then the group of children followed and ran into the alley, Liu Han frowned and stood there, these children hid in the alley, and did not escape his divine sense at all.

Slightly hesitant, Liu Han walked towards the alley, the two little guys who were observing the movement on the edge of the alley saw him coming, and immediately ran towards the depths of the alley, Liu Han did not speed up, just like a walk, slowly walked into the alley, he didn't pay attention, a few old men who were basking in the sun on the side of the alley looked at his eyes, full of pity, as if he entered not the alley, but the bandit's den.

Walking into the alley, Liu Han found that here and outside are simply two worlds, the sewage on the side of the road is cross-flowing, the smell is stinking, the filth can be seen in the drainage ditch, the houses on both sides are low and dilapidated, even if the door is open, the inside is dark.

The divine sense locked on a child, and Liu Han followed him around an alley and into an even more dilapidated alley, with miscellaneous items piled up everywhere on the side of the road, and all kinds of clothes hanging under the eaves. It didn't take long for Liu Han to stand outside a small crooked courtyard, which had been completely abandoned, half of the thatch on the roof had been swept away, and the muddy earthen wall had cracked the opening.

Through the gap, there were more than a dozen children in the yard, and the children were surrounded by a slightly older child, which was still draped in a piece of linen, and the front placket was spread out, revealing a shriveled belly, and the ribs were visible.

"What bunny got caught!?"

"That guy is so good, he grabbed the little rabbit's hand in one fell swoop!"

"The man is well dressed, at least worth ...... It's worth three cents!"

Liu Han looked at his clothes, these clothes were worth at least ten taels of silver, and these little guys still didn't know the goods.

"It doesn't look like a local, we have been eyeing him since Xianyang Palace, this guy must have a lot of silver tickets with a bulging waist. ”

Liu Han frowned slightly, he didn't realize that he was being followed at all, since he stepped into the realm of the grandmaster, he hadn't met anyone who could follow him without being discovered, these little guys have a set.

"Don't make a fuss!" A slightly old-fashioned voice knocked down the noisy noise of the big guy, but the owner of this voice was also a thin child in Liu Han's eyes, and his characteristics were very prominent, because he was too thin, so that his head looked bigger.

"Brother Hu, tomorrow Guo Scorpion will come to collect the money, we still have four taels. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the children lowered their heads, and Brother Tiger gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Inquire about it, the one who wants to be guilty, whether it is playing the board or the clip number, I will take it." ******, in the future, Lao Tzu's martial arts will be great, and the first one who can't be spared is this Guo Scorpion!"

"Brother Tiger, no, you just got twenty boards, and this injury is not healed. The little rabbit hurriedly stopped.

"Don't talk nonsense," Brother Hu was not polite at all: "If you can't get four taels of silver, then Guo Scorpion is willing to spare us?" I dropped my words last time, and if I can't make up the money, I will sell you and Xiaoying to the kiln." ”

Only then did Liu Han understand that this little rabbit was actually a girl, and then look inside, there were actually five or six girls in this group, ranging from four or five years old to seven or eight years old, and this little rabbit was the oldest, less than ten years old.

"This time I'll go. The big-headed kid said resolutely, and Brother Tiger shook his head resolutely: "You haven't cultivated, it's useless to go, you feel good when you are that board, ****, those officials are black." ”

Liu Han has already understood, this so-called guilt is to suffer for others, to be punished for those who commit crimes, of course, there is a bottom line, that is, it is not a capital crime, it is not exile, it is only a board clip.

Playing the board understands that this clip number is, bring a wooden clip, kneel in front of the yamen, short three days, long three months.

Rich people commit such a crime, and they don't want to bear it, so they buy some scoundrels to receive it on their behalf, of course, this also costs money, and it has to be opened up and down.
