Chapter 56 Night Walk
?At night, the moon rabbit has not risen, and the stars are everywhere. The Ye City reflected by the stars is like a sleeping dragon. The palace with sporadic lights is the dragon head, and the city with chessboard layout is the tangled dragon body, and the scales are lined up, and the lifang with no lights is like dragon scales.
Among the dragon scales, some firelight swims, like fireflies surrounding the Panlong, wandering around in a vague manner, reflecting a different scenery.
It was a torch lit by the night patrol team. They patrolled all streets. After nightfall, curfews were enforced, both prefectures and counties and capitals. The night patrol team was on duty all night. If they encountered night walkers, they immediately stepped forward to stop and investigate. If there was no legitimate reason, such as official business, medical practice, etc., they would be locked and taken to the Qiuguan Mansion Prison.
The person who led the team to patrol the night was Simei, who was under the Qiu official. Simei had the sergeant who was the two destiny of Zheng, and there were also the sergeant who was the one destiny of Zheng. The Literature of Zhou said: When Simei was in the night, the stars were used to divide the night, and the night was issued with the imperial edict. Those who were traveling in the morning, those who were traveling in the night were forbidden by night, and those who traveled in the night.
In short, Simei led people to patrol the night and implemented the curfew system, but the rank was very low. It was fine in the prefectures and counties. Now the streets of the capital are full of high-ranking officials. If you meet a high-ranking official who is "unnamed" and you will still have to "not be the example."
Therefore, to do a good job in Simei, you must not only be loyal to your duties, but also have good eyesight and well-informed knowledge. Especially the dignitaries and noble families in the city must remember them clearly, so as not to lose their posts the next day after being selfless that night.
Especially in the Lifang where the powerful people live, you must be especially careful. Even if you are a drunk man walking at night, you may be a child from a powerful mansion or a relative who is surrounded by a circle. If you stop him and beat him up, you can only admit that you are unlucky.
If you fight back, you have a good look. Even a dog in the noble family cannot be hurt, let alone a human being. However, it is not a big deal to not go to check when you see someone at night. Therefore, how to "both" avoid everyone's bad luck during night patrols is essential.
In a southwest corner of Yenan City, a carriage was driving on the street, with lanterns hanging in front of the car, and more than ten followers were guarding with torches. The curfew not only prohibited pedestrians, but also prohibited lights. These people blatantly lit torches at night, which was very conspicuous.
When passing an intersection, the group of people was soon discovered by patrol. They shouted and chased after them, but when they saw such a blatant night walker coming from the wealthy and dense Lifang group, they were secretly warned.
Si Mei, the leader, was about forty years old. He glanced at the lantern hanging on the carriage. When he saw the word "medical" written on it, he knew it. He led his left and right forward and asked the guards with a pleasant look, who they were, where they came from, where they were going, and the most important thing was what they were going to do.
"My husband came to the hospital and was going to rush back to the mansion before the curfew, but the Grand Sima was very welcoming, so I missed the time. "A man with the car said, "I was not humble or arrogant, and he explained the interests clearly in an understatement.
The words "Da Sima" are all about it. The other party went to the powerful and powerful family to visit the hospital, but the hospitality was delayed. If he took the person indiscriminately, he would not be able to take it tomorrow.
Of course, just one sentence, you can't fool the Shangye. They have seen too many scenes, and they will not be fooled by a sentence or two. However, Simei was happy and nodded and let someone let him go.
Seeing the carriage gradually moving away, a patrolman asked carefully: "Simei, let them go like this? What if someone is cheating and pulling the tiger's skin to make a big banner?"
"So you should learn more and have a better memory. Don't know how to eat, gamble, and sleep in every day!" Si Mei scolded, "Did you see all the lanterns on the carriage?"
"See it." Everyone said.
"I saw it and didn't know what the people in the car are doing?"
"Simei, I can't read..."
"If you can't read, remember the graphics!! That's the word "medical", and the doctor is sitting inside!"
"Ke...but I didn't check the car just now, but I didn't know if it was a human or a dog inside..."
"So you have to recognize people! The one who spoke just now was the butler in the Imperial Doctor Li's house. Who else should I think about it if he was sitting inside!"
When everyone heard that it was an imperial doctor, they couldn't help but be amazed, but some people still couldn't figure it out. He asked the imperial doctor if he lived in the palace to treat the emperor, how could he go out for a medical treatment?
"There are more than one imperial doctor. Several imperial doctors took turns to be on duty in the palace, and the others were resting in the palace outside the palace." Si Mei said, "If you can be an imperial doctor, you must be a superb medical skill. The nobles in the city have headaches and fever, so they naturally have to ask the imperial doctor to take their pulse and prescribe a prescription."
Many of the people who were patrolling tonight were newcomers, so Simei Shao had to mention a few words. Just now, the doctor Li was very skilled in medical skills and was often invited to the mansion for medical treatment by noble people. He often walked on night walks, so he also recognized several "acquaintances" he accompanied.
"If you meet these imperial doctors, doctors, etc. in the future, you should be more polite when you meet them. Not to mention anything else, there are countless officials who have friendship with them. It is as easy as killing me if you kill an ant."
A "accidental encounter" ended like this. The patrol continued to patrol and the night road continued to walk on the night road. The two had nothing to do with each other and were safe. Doctor Li's carriage came to Lifang, the northwest corner of the south city, and stopped outside a house gate.
"The Lord is back!" The entourage shouted in a low voice while knocking on the door. After a while, the door opened. A middle-aged man got out of the car and walked straight into the door. A young man in a green hat followed him in with a wooden box.
In the dark corner of the street about twenty steps away, Zhang Dingfa, wearing a gray-black night clothes, was watching the scene quietly. He was followed by someone, and two more cats in the corner far away.
There was no moonlight, and the figures outside the night looked a little blurry, but Zhang Dingfa's eyes were as bright as owls. He kept watching the movements at the gate of the courtyard in front.
After about a stick of incense was closed, Zhang Dingfa relaxed from his state of meditation. He made a gesture and led the people around him to retreat. He disappeared from the streets of Yecheng under the night.
......
In the residence, Yuwen Wen did push-ups in his residence. He was shirtless and only wearing his pants, sweating profusely, and the oil lamp swayed, which made his figure look particularly strange.
He is not a fitness tycoon, but because he has no other way to vent his energy, he can only rely on exercise to consume excess energy. When he is so tired that he can't move, he can take a shower and go to bed.
Yuwen Wen has always been very busy, busy with official and military affairs during the day. When he returned to the mansion, he was not empty every night. The beauty beside him was full of charm. Although he might not fight overnight, it has become a habit to sleep with his wives and concubines. Of course, he would not be unable to sleep without a woman when he led the army.
When there is a war, you must be both obscene and beware of being under the slightest. You keep thinking about things, and you will also do many things such as checking posts, patrol patrols, and randomly checking food. Therefore, Yuwen Wen has no mind to think about women and does not allow women to appear in the military camp.
He had no war on weekdays, so he went to the barracks to spend the night with his soldiers, and then he was busy gathering at night every night, or checking rounds or checking posts. At this time, he was also heartless and thoughtful about women.
But the 'business trip' is different. There are no soldiers to bother him, and his wives and concubines are not around. Yuwen Wen is now at the age of a young age and has been out for almost two months. Yesterday, he saw the strength of the "Yuchi family men" again and was full of anger and had nowhere to vent.
There are also ways to divert attention. Thinking about everything is very effective. However, Yuwen Wen is afraid that if he thinks too much, he will become a stubborn person and become a psychopath, so he did not choose this method.
He did not want to ask if there were prostitutes in the city or not, nor did he plan to find the five girls to solve the problem. He could only use physical exercise to consume excess energy so that he could have a good night's sleep.
After struggling with countless sets of push-ups and sit-ups, Yuwen Wen was so tired that he almost couldn't get up. Zhang Yu, who was waiting outside the door, called hot water. He took a hot bath, changed his clothes but did not go to bed, but read at night on the side of the desk.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was a voice outside the room. After a moment, the door opened and a person walked in. Yuwen Wen looked up and then nodded and said, “Sit down.”
The visitor was Zhang Dingfa, the leader of the guard. He was wearing a gray-black night clothes and was in a hurry. Seeing Yuwen Wen looking at him, he began to report: "Mr. Lang, I have just tracked all the way, but no abnormalities have been found."
"What do you think?" Yuwen Wen asked.
"It's hard to say that this Yu Dai Li has a lot of contact with the powerful and powerful people in the city, and there are many people who come to the hospital. I can't tell anything after doing it for a few days."
"Is it because I am thinking too much?" Yuwen Wen frowned. He had already talked to Zhang Dingfa and ordered him to privately track down the doctor Li who prescribed medicine. Zhang Dingfa was performing "secret missions" for several days and nights.
"This... I can only say that the intention of guarding others is indispensable." Zhang Dingfa replied. He heard Yuwen Wen say that taking the strange medicine of Western Regions for a long time would be addictive, and the doctor Li took the medicine of Diyejia. He didn't know whether it was intentional or intentional, so he was worried that someone was planning behind the scenes to deal with Yuwen Wen.
It’s just that there is no conclusive evidence, and it’s not enough to just draw conclusions by catching the wind and shadows, so you have to go through sufficient tracking to find clues.
Yuwen Wen was not sure if someone wanted to deal with him, so he was thinking about various possibilities and asked after a moment: "Does Li Yuyi went to have all the powerful families?"
"I have all written down." Zhang Dingfa nodded. Seeing Yuwen Wen's appearance, he hesitated and said, "Mr. seems to be quite tired. Why not watch it tomorrow?"
"Is this my husband very haggard?" Yuwen Wen touched his cheek, and saw Zhang Dingfa's worried look, he smiled: "Since that's the case, let's talk about it tomorrow, and Leader Zhang will have a good rest."
"Langjun, there are many people walking around on the side of Doctor Li on weekdays. It is probably useless to keep track of this. After all, I don't know what he said in other people's mansion."
"did you mean?"
"Langjun, since Diyejia is a strange medicine in the Western Regions, it seems that the quantity is not large. If Doctor Li wants to use medicine, he must have taken it out of the warehouse in the palace. If Doctor Li can investigate the inventory of medicine, such as which Doctor used it more, he might have some clues."
