Han official!

Chapter 71
There is a house in Chang'an city.

The houses where dukes, ministers and marquises lived were generally called "di", which were divided into Jiadi and Yidi.

Jiadi means Jiashe and Dadi.

Yidi means small house.

The main gate of the house faces Chidao Street, not in the back streets or alleys. It is a single door, so people do not need to pass through the gate of the neighborhood to enter or exit.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozu of Han, marquises lived in large mansions, while officials with the rank of two thousand stones lived in small mansions.

The best mansions in Chang'an are distributed in the East Que, North Que and Xuanping Guili of the Weiyang Palace, as well as the Changling of Emperor Gaozu of Han, the Anling of Emperor Hui of Han, the Baling of Emperor Wen of Han, the Yangling of Emperor Jing of Han, and the Maoling of Emperor Liu Che.

The houses in Chang'an City are divided into North House and East House.

Most of the northern palaces were located in the northern part of the Weiyang Palace, mainly west of the Anmen (the middle gate on the south side) and north of the Zhichengmen (the middle gate on the west side).

The Dongdi Palace is mostly located in the eastern part of the Weiyang Palace, mainly south of the armory.

The residents of Jiadi were all powerful people such as prime ministers, marquises, generals, princesses, etc.

In the dead of night (0:45-1:30), several bandits holding two-foot swords suddenly appeared at the door of a mansion of Dou Pengzu, the Marquis of Nanpi, and waited quietly for someone to walk out of the mansion.

The duties of the lieutenant were to patrol the capital, suppress thieves, arrest criminals, try cases, garrison the capital, launch temporary expeditions, and manage weapons.

Jiaoxun means patrol. The Northern Army under the command of the lieutenant patrolled the eight streets and nine alleys of Chang'an at night.

The main gate of the Dishe House had a separate door facing the street. If Guo Jie and his companions stayed at the door, they would be easily discovered by the Northern Army and would really become a group of bandits wanted by the Northern Army.

Wei Guang, relying on his noble status as a Tiqi, although not a military marquis of the Northern Army, greeted a military marquis who was patrolling Zhangtai Street, and more than halfway (0:45-1:30) he delivered a batch of wine to Disheguili.

There was a curfew in Chang'an, and people were not allowed to go out to buy wine at night. This led to some well-connected guests or merchants secretly transporting the wine to Disheguili to sell it.

Wei Guang stuffed a string of three-zhu coins into his pocket, enough to buy a stone of corn.

The military marquis was obviously familiar with the situation. This was not the first time he had abused his power to gain benefits. He tacitly allowed Wei Guang to sell wine privately under the identity of a Tiqi.

"Brother."

Wei Guang glanced at the position of the moon and said anxiously, "In a moment, that military marquis will leave Zhangtai Street and be replaced by another one. He hasn't come out yet, so why don't I climb over the rammed earth wall and take a look."

Time is tight.

It has not come out for a long time.

Guo Jie hid at the gate of Disheguili, which was surrounded by flat roads and tall rammed earth walls to prevent thieves from hiding at night. There was not a single tree planted.

There is no possibility of hiding in the shops.

All the shops in Chang'an were concentrated in the Nine Markets of Chang'an and some small markets, and the doors of the city flag pavilions had long been closed.

Sooner or later, they were discovered by the Northern Army on patrol.

"Not urgent."

Guo Jie said in a deep voice, "We still have one last moment. Be patient and wait for another half a moment. If you can't get out in a little while, let's climb over the rammed earth wall of Disheguili together."

"tonight."

Guo Jie looked around and said to the people around him, "The killer corner fight."

"Squeak-"

As they waited anxiously, the side door of the residence finally opened.

Another head popped out and saw Guo Jie and his companions crouching low, clinging to the rammed earth wall.

"Mr. Guo."

Duo Chang breathed a sigh of relief and said guiltily, "A few of the hornbearers were unwilling to eat the sheep, which took a little longer. I hope Mr. Guo won't blame me."

"咚咚-"

The footsteps of the Northern Army were heard not far from Zhangtai Street. The sound was getting closer and closer, and was heading towards the door of the house.

Getting closer and closer to Guo Jie and his companions.

"go!"

Guo Jie waved his hand and quickly led Zhang Qian, Wei Guang and others into the residence of Dou Pengzu, the Marquis of Nanpi. "It's okay. The agreed time hasn't arrived yet. No need to apologize. You and I are brothers. Don't be so distant."

"Snapped!"

Just as the side door of the Dishe was closed.

A military marquis led a large number of northern troops, passed by the gate of the house, and walked towards the distance of Zhangtai Street.

There were clear footsteps outside the door.

"Whoops——"

"Huff--" Guo Jie, Zhang Qian, Wei Guang and others were sticking to the side door, breathing heavily, feeling extremely nervous.

They looked at each other, looked at the brightly lit residence, and smiled.

The tension turned into excitement.

"kill!"

Guo Jie drew his two-foot-long sword, a ring-handled knife slung across his waist. With a sinister grin, he said, "No official or civilian in Chang'an dares to provoke the in-laws, the Dou family. Dou Pengzu is the official version of Duke Zhou. A certain catfish, so arrogant and arrogant, really thinks no one dares to deal with them? Ha, I'm going to be the first to stand out today! Kill!"

A group of people from the lower classes broke the power of the powerful.

It's always exciting.

Excited.

Zhang Qian, Wei Guang, Yi Zong and others faced various fears, dreads, indignation and other emotions towards the Dou family, and finally all of them turned into an indescribable excitement.

A surge of blood rushed to my head.

Scalp numbness.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Zhang Qian, Wei Guang, Yi Zong and others didn't know who Master Zhou was, and what catfish was. Their eyes were red, and they were extremely excited, and they rushed towards the wrestler who was already lying on the ground.

"puff!"

As the two-foot sword and the ring-handled knife cut open the necks of the corner-fighters, a large amount of blood spurted out, splashing on the faces, hair buns, and black clothes of several people, and there was an indescribable pleasure.

The pleasure of a common man's anger.

The barefoot people at the bottom of society can shatter the pleasure of the privileges of the powerful with just a word of their will.

"happy!"

"Haha, even if I die today, I will die without regrets!"

"So what if you're powerful? I'll let you and the other powerful see the anger of the lower class!"

Zhang Qian, Wei Guang, Yi Zong and others laughed out loud, their faces were ferocious, but they also had an indescribable courage.

Guo Jie had seen it before.

I have seen this kind of courage, or temperament, more than once.

The honest man was forced into a corner and took a sickle to kill the entire family.

"hehe."

Guo Jie sneered and said, "Tonight, let's see who kills the most. Ji Shaogong sent a message saying that several mansions have been built in Jinchenglu. Whoever kills the most will be the first to choose a mansion."

When Zhang Qian, Wei Guang, Yi Zong and others heard that they could be the first to choose the mansion in Jinchenglu, their murderous intent became stronger. They rushed towards their opponents with all their strength, chopped off their heads one by one, and made their own marks.

Some may have their ears cut off, their noses cut off, or their faces tattooed.

To facilitate subsequent identification.

"Huchi - Huchi -"

Guo Jie and his men were breathing heavily. They had replaced the two-foot swords and ring-handled knives in their hands countless times. After they were chopped off, they picked up the swords and knives in the house and continued to chop off the heads of their opponents.

Until they are completely killed.

Kill them all.

Kill one and feel at peace.

After this attack on the residence of Dou, the relative of the emperor, Zhang Qian became more courageous and even had an arrogant idea.

"Brother."

Zhang Qian's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "I don't know what's going on, but I've developed this outrageous fantasy of chopping off Dou Pengzu's head."

Who knows.

Guo Jie's answer was even more shocking.

"Not urgent."

Guo Jie narrowed his eyes and said, "If I get the chance, I will chop off the head of my relative Dou with my own hands sooner or later."
