After the cavalry who sent the letter left the city, Li Xu became idle again.

Li Qin and the group of women washed and rinsed in the inn yard booked by Li Xu, and Zhang Mingrong followed Zhang Luo. Li Xu gave him enough money, so he didn't need to worry about anything else.

There was nothing wrong with him, so Li Xu simply took two guards out of the inn and wandered around the city.

Sanshui County was not big at first, with only two cross-section streets. The east and west streets were longer and the north and south streets were shorter. The main storefronts in the city were distributed on these two streets.

Both streets are paved with bluestone slabs. There are hardened gutters on both sides to discharge sewage, and are covered with stone slabs.

The street is about ten meters wide and looks pretty neat and clean overall.

Li Xu walked slowly while looking at the shops on both sides of the street and the pedestrians passing by.

Compared with the sets in costume films and TV dramas in previous lives, the streets here appear more realistic, more vivid, more vivid and more down-to-earth.

There are all kinds of shops, including grocery shops selling daily necessities; bookstores selling pens, ink, paper and inkstones; grain shops selling rice, flour, grain and oil; blacksmith shops selling weapons, agricultural tools and tools; candied fruit shops selling snacks such as snacks and candied fruits; pickled vegetables and pickled vegetables...

As for restaurants, restaurants, and even shops that tell fortunes and feng shui and name them, Li Xu, who came here for the first time, was a bit unexpected and enjoyed watching.

When he passed by a grain shop selling rice, flour, grain and oil, he went in and took a walk around.

The shopkeeper was surprised that the handsome young man in white robe looked a little surprised when he entered the store and came forward to enter the store with great sincerity.

Li Xu looked around and found that the grain sold in the store was millet and wheat, and even rice, but he didn't see corn and potatoes.

He looked around again and found no pepper seeds.

After thinking about it, I asked the guys for a brief look. The guys shook their heads with a confused look on their faces and said that they had never heard of these crops, let alone seen them. Some even thought that Li Xu was here to find fault.

But no one dares to say anything because of his extraordinary appearance and his guards.

After walking around, Li Xu felt confident in his heart, thanked him with a smile and went out.

In addition to shops, pedestrians on the road are also the objects of observation by Li Xu.

Although Sanshui County is not a big county, there are still many people on the streets, and people of all kinds are shuttled and bustling.

However, Li Xu focused on two types of people, one was a big girl and a little wife.

When we walked down the street, we had the same sex and the same wife and the male companion. They were all open and not very disgusting.

This shows that the defenses of men and women in Qin State are not as serious as imagined, and it is very common for women to show up in public.

Although it is not as open as my previous life, it is not as closed and conservative as Li Xu thought before.

The second type of people are those pedestrians with weapons around their waists, basically all of whom are young and strong men.

Most of the weapons hanging around the waist are swords, and a few people wear swords. However, occasionally you can see someone with a big axe hanging behind them.

Li Xu even saw a man carrying a double iron whip on his back.

These weapons were all exposed and carried with them openly. At most, pedestrians were looking at each other for a few more times, and no one was curious.

Qin State advocated martial arts, and the people even practiced martial arts, so there were many people who practiced martial arts.

The Qin court allowed the civilians to carry weapons, but it was strictly prohibited to possess and carry heavy weapons such as hard crossbows and iron armor. Once discovered, it would be a death penalty.

In fact, all dynasties, except for the Mongol Yuan, people will not be prohibited from possessing weapons.

However, to hold weapons legally, one must report by the local government, and the other must be revealed and hidden is strictly prohibited.

Of course, possessing weapons among the people will definitely increase the crime rate of criminal cases, so the government also stipulates that if there are private enemies, they can go to the government to apply for a public duel. Both of them agree that they can sign a life-and-death case and then a duel. If there are deaths and injuries, they will not be investigated.

If you fight privately without applying for a duel, you are committing a serious crime.

In fact, we can also think of the rationality of this policy. In ancient times, the public security conditions were too poor, and it was not bad in the city. After leaving the city, you might encounter robbers and road domineers at any time. Therefore, allowing the people to carry weapons is also to supplement the lack of government power.

However, there cannot be no restrictions, so a policy of prohibiting private fights and allowing public duels was introduced.

While thinking about this, some more sensitive people noticed Li Xu's gaze and turned to look at him.

The other party didn't say "What are you looking at?", and Li Xu naturally wouldn't reply, "What do you think about you?", but just smiled at the other party and nodded.

Seeing that Li Xu was friendly and handsome, the other party naturally didn't care about it, and nodded in response with a smile.

As he walked along the way, he soon arrived at the intersection of East-West and North-South Streets. Li Xu suddenly felt hungry and had the idea of ​​finding a place to eat. When he looked up, he saw a restaurant not far away.

The plaque contains three gold-plated characters "Lingyunlou".

The building is three stories high, exceeding the surrounding buildings, and is the tallest among the shops Li Xu has seen along the way.

Just as I was about to take a step, I saw a restaurant diagonally opposite Lingyun Tower, called "Qingyun Pavilion".

Qingyun Pavilion is a two-story building, not as high as Lingyun Tower or as large as Lingyun Tower. However, at this time, there were many flower pots and plants at the door, and firecrackers were covered with debris. The shopkeepers were at the door to welcome guests, and all the guests came in and out, looking very lively.

In contrast, Lingyun Pavilion is surrounded by a few doors. Not only is there no one in, but the people passing by have to deliberately avoid a little distance and go around.

You have a strong ambitions, but I am destined to be a success. This seems to be a challenge to the other party.

With such a good location, it was almost time for dinner, but no one went to Lingyun Tower. Instead, the Qingyun Pavilion opposite was crowded with people, which was very interesting.

A newly opened restaurant has snatched all the business of an old restaurant. If you say there is nothing strange about it, even ghosts will not believe it.

"Let's go and have a meal." Li Xu chuckled and stepped forward.

"Young master, the business over there is not good. I guess it tastes bad. Why don't you go to this Qingyun Pavilion?" A guard behind him saw Li Xu walking towards Lingyun Tower and hurriedly reminded him.

"Let's go, I like to have a clean place when eating. As for whether the taste is good, I will only know after eating it."

Li Xu said as he stepped into Lingyun Tower.

The two guards stopped talking and hurriedly followed.

As soon as Li Xu entered Lingyun Tower, he did not see the waiter coming up to greet him. Instead, he saw a group of people sitting in the lobby.

These people were sitting in a mess, some crossed their legs, some put their legs on the table, and some even sat on the table, with their eyebrows slanted shoulders and brows hanging down, and their faces were full of cruelty. You could tell at a glance that they were not kind people.

There was no wine or food on each table, only a pot of tea and a few tea cups placed around.

There were several people on the table in the middle with one foot on the stool, wearing their clothes open and loudly hanging horses.

A middle-aged man in a robe with a timid and depressed expression was sitting inside the counter on the far left, looking like the shopkeeper.

As soon as Li Xu entered, the idle people sitting discovered it and all turned their heads to look at him.

The ruthlessness in the eyes was unconcealed.

Li Xu seemed not to see these gazes, and shouted to the shopkeeper who looked over with surprise: "Shopkeeper, open the door to welcome the guests. If the guests come in, don't you come to welcome them?"
