Warring States Eagle

In the current Ningbo Mansion, the residents are mainly concentrated near the North Gate and East Gate. () So after Ximen took a short rest, Wang Hai led the team to the delivery first.Zheng Liang, who had nothing to do, took Liu Le, Mingfeng Xiuzheng, and one of Wang Hai's subordinates who stayed behind to lead the way and started touring around.

The first thing Zheng Liang went to was the downtown area of ​​the city.

"Everyone come and have a look! Beautiful accessories..."

"Delicious buns! Freshly baked and delicious! Everyone, come and buy them!..."

"Candied haws! So sweet candied haws!"

The streets are full of small vendors selling various items, including rice, meat, fish, vegetables, and cloth. There are all kinds of hawkers... There are shouts and bargaining sounds one after another, and there are pedestrians on the road. endlessly.

Walking through the crowd, you can hear the loud yelling of various businesses on the street.Zhengliang seems to have returned to the vegetable market of later generations.It turned out that no matter in that era, this distinctive cries were always the same.The difference is the clothes of the people around them, and the things they sell.

Walking forward, I saw a gorgeously decorated shop not far away.Zheng Liang took a closer look, and saw Zhang Ji Pawnshop written on the outside of the shop door.Look through the door and look inside.The beams of the red sandalwood emit uninterrupted bursts of fragrance, the cargo racks of yellow rosewood have a strong sense of history, the stairs of ash are irregularly inlaid with precious stones, the tables and chairs of mahogany are carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the corners are inlaid with precious stones. with gold.Glass lampshades, emerald screens, Tang Sancai vases and white marble abacuses.Even the threshold is engraved with the pattern of phoenix wearing peony.Not to mention gorgeous.

Turning around and looking again, in a part of the street, a restaurant named "Zixianglou" is full of people at the moment.Countless celebrities, rich businessmen and beauties are drunk and dreaming inside.

"Your Highness, be careful." Just as Zheng Liang stopped to watch, Liu Le exclaimed from behind.

Zheng Liang was about to turn his head to see what was going on, when he suddenly found a black shadow hitting his arms.In desperation, Zheng Liang shrank his abdomen, stood on both feet, and prepared to block the blow abruptly.

It's too late to say it.When Zhengliang was getting ready, the black shadow bumped into his arms.Zheng Liang supported the visitor with both hands, and took a closer look.It turned out to be a little boy, who looked only eleven or twelve years old.After the little boy fell into Zheng Liang's arms, he immediately leaned on him and stood firm with the help of the rebound force on Zheng Liang's body.Then he bypassed Zheng Liang and continued to run wildly.

"Don't run!" At the same time, a dozen children rushed over chasing and shouting.Zheng Liang, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately dodged sideways. Liu Le and the sailor who led the way were not so lucky. They were knocked down several times by children rushing through the crowd.Although it was not knocked down, it was also messed up.

On the contrary, Mingfeng Xiuzheng acted like a stranger, allowing those children to bypass without being bumped at all.

The group of children's nonsense on the street immediately caused everyone around to flee, and the street suddenly became chaotic.

"Xiuzheng" At this time, Zheng Liang suddenly called Mingfeng Xiuzheng to his side and whispered.Ming Feng Xiuzheng nodded, and then left quickly.

Liu Lejian, who had just tidied up his clothes, was suddenly puzzled.Immediately bowed to Zhengliang and said, "Your Highness, why is this?" Apparently he was asking Mingfeng Xiuzheng why he left.

"Hehe, you'll know soon. You should check carefully, are you all on your body?" Zheng Liang said with a smile. Just when the child hit him just now, Zheng Liang clearly felt the child's hand reaching into him Clothes where coins are placed.Obviously ready to steal property.It's a pity that all Zhengliang's silver was handed over to Mingfeng Xiuzheng.So that kid was busy for nothing.

"Ah?", "Ah?" Zheng Liang heard two consecutive exclamations, obviously from Liu Le and the sailor.

"Your Highness, my silver is gone", "My lord, mine is gone too."

"Don't panic. It will be back soon," said Zheng Liang.

"Your Highness, what do you mean, the belongings of the servants were stolen by the group of children just now?" Liu Le is not a stupid person.Combined with Zhengliang's words just now, he soon knew who the culprit was for the loss of property.

Zheng Liang nodded to show that Liu Le's guess was right.

"What?" Before Liu Le could make a move, the sailor behind shouted angrily, "See if I don't beat them up." Originally, he didn't have many coins with him, but this time he was able to come to Ningbo Mansion One trip, he brought almost all his wealth, in order to find a beautiful girl at Yicui Tower for a happy night, but now the money was stolen by those children after changing hands, no wonder he was furious.If it hadn't been for Zhengliang's consent, he would have chased after those children in the direction they were fleeing.

"That's not necessary, we will get our things back soon," Zheng Liang said indifferently.

Seeing Zhengliang so calm, the sailor had no choice but to hold back his inner anger for a while.How to say that the other party is a noble person who is in charge of the family, and depending on the situation, he may even become the head of his own family, and the order of the other party must be obeyed.

After about two quarters of an hour, Mingfeng Xiuzheng finally returned in a hurry.

"Your Highness, I found it." Ming Fengxiu saluted Zheng Liang in a low voice.After all, he was speaking Japanese at the moment, so in order to be mistaken for Japanese pirates by others, he had to keep a low profile.

"Let's go." Zheng Liang didn't talk nonsense, and immediately instructed Ming Fengxiu to lead the way.

Under the leadership of Mingfeng Xiuzheng, the group gradually walked out of the bustling market, and then continued towards the gate of the city.Since everyone was walking, their speed was much slower than Mingfeng Xiuzheng's trotting speed following the group of children just now.Half an hour later, everyone walked into a dark alley.Coming along the road, looking at the increasingly dilapidated houses, Zhenglai knew that he had come to the slum area of ​​Ningbo Prefecture.

"Your Highness, they are in the innermost courtyard," Mingfeng Xiuzheng said in a low voice.

Zheng Liang nodded when he heard the words, and quietly approached the yard that Mingfeng Xiuzheng had discovered.

I saw that the two walls of the courtyard were already covered with moss and even weeds. Looking in through the gaps in the courtyard walls, all I could see was a piece of collapsed tile-roofed houses. Only one corner in the north was not completely collapsed.Obviously, this is a deserted house.Housing prices in the Ming Dynasty were not cheap. A simple tile-roofed house usually cost 50 taels of silver. This was still a slum area, so no matter in that era, houses were always the property of the rich and noble, and it was just a luxury for the poor.

"Sister, wake up, look, brother has brought back something delicious." At this moment, a childish male voice came from the abandoned yard.Zheng Liang couldn't help but stop when he heard the sound, and listened carefully.The people behind them also stopped.

"Brother, I miss my mother" a voice as thin as a grain of silk rang out.Listening to the sound seems to be sick.

"Hey, come and eat this. Mother will be back soon." The immature male voice sounded again.

"No, brother lied to me, mother doesn't want us anymore," the girl's voice called out again.

"And big brother. Big brother will take care of you, be good, eat this quickly."

"Hey, my brother met a few big guests today, and he will soon raise enough money to buy medicine, and then he can buy medicine and treat his illness."

"Brother, I don't want to be treated."

"What are you talking about, how can you not treat the disease?"

"No, I'm not going to treat the disease anymore. Woohoo..." There was a cry of girls in the yard.

After a long time, the boy's voice sounded again: "Hey, eat quickly."

"Did brother eat too?"

"I'm full, you see" the boy seemed to pat his stomach to prove that he was full.

"No, brother lied to me again. Brother, let's eat together," the girl said weakly.

"Okay, let's eat together," the boy said with a choked voice. (To be continued..)
