Chapter 107: There is one more person behind

Since we are here, we must always see the prosperity and characteristics of this era. This is the same as Li Meng following the escort truck to Tai'an in modern times. Time is tight, and his superiors asked him to go and go quickly, but Li Meng told his colleagues that since he came to this place, it would be a pity not to go to Taishan.

This is the same as Li Meng's visit to Kaifeng City.

I set up a large number of road guides in Jiaozhou City, but no one paid attention to them along the way. It was the first time I used it in Kaifeng City. The soldiers guarding the city at Kaifeng City Gate did not lean on the city wall to bask in the sun. Moreover, looking at the mental state and clothing, they looked quite neat, and they looked a little like military soldiers.

In order not to let others pay attention, most of the people stayed in the inns on the boat and on the ferry. Meng En came to Kaifeng City, so naturally he was a guide. Wang Hai and Chen Liuzi followed as followers, and more than a dozen people pretended to be passers-by and followed around to take care of him. This should be enough.

When entering the city, perhaps the martial temperament of Li Meng and Chen Liu and Wang Hai attracted the attention of the soldiers guarding the city, and came here to ask for a way to inquire.

Many people are not used to Li Meng's work style. For example, when he went out this time, many people told him that the road quotation was useless, but Li Meng still prepared a lot of things to carry with him. After entering Henan, as long as he wanted to land in the city, he would fill in the road quotation on the boat and then set off.

When Li Meng got ashore at Dingjia Ferry in Guide Mansion, he prepared the road guide, but no one came to check it out. Yan Ding and even the guide felt that Li Meng's facts were too fine.

But when they arrived at the gate of Kaifeng City, the soldiers guarding the city came over to ask for directions. After Li Meng took it out calmly, the people around were very impressed. If it weren't for Li Meng's preparation in advance, it would be difficult for everyone to explain their intentions. At the gate of the city, although the troops in Kaifeng City could be dispatched, if they couldn't explain clearly, they would have asked the yamen to ask questions, or there was a conflict, which was a dozen people who had no chance to resist at all, and that would be a big trouble.

Li Meng developed this way of doing things in modern times. Whenever the financial escort vehicle has the task of going to another place, the company's administrators always prepare all the procedures that should be used. If the departments and individuals who are not familiar with the place and who have power want to cause trouble and flaws, it is easy for you to find trouble and flaws. If you are not prepared enough by yourself, you are asking for trouble, let alone the late Ming Dynasty in this troubled times.

Li Meng, a military officer from Shandong, came to Henan with a private server. He couldn't explain clearly. He should prepare everything he should do to avoid dangers caused by loopholes and forgetfulness.

Shandong businessman Li went to Tongguan to do business. The road sign was clearly written on it. The seal and the heads were both standard formats of the government. The soldiers guarding the city gate might not know the words. However, seeing the other party bringing out the way, there was no doubt. After taking some common money benefits from Li Meng, he also advised:

"This guest official, Tongguan is in great chaos. Henan's territory is more secure. I listen to my advice and go home. Shandong is still peaceful."

There were still hungry people around five miles outside Kaifeng City. The hungry people and refugees and villains who took this opportunity to make money were all among them. They were like hell. However, when they arrived at the edge of Kaifeng City, the scene changed. Although the Kaifeng City Wall seemed extremely dilapidated, it was still tall and majestic, adding a bit of spectacular atmosphere.

As soon as he entered the city gate, although there was no wind, Li Meng could still feel the noisy and lively atmosphere that was coming to his face. Although there were blue bricks and black tiles on both sides, carved beams and painted buildings, and carriages and horses, Li Meng still felt the prosperity that could only be felt in modern cities. Although the form was not used, it was essentially the same.

Looking at Li Meng and Chen Liu and Wang Hai's appearance, Meng En naturally knew why this behavior was. Meng En came to Luoyang several times and happened to act as a guide at this time, and there was no need for Li Meng to speak. He walked in front first, pointed to everywhere on both sides of the street, and began to introduce it, which was quite a bit like a tour guide.

For example, somewhere is where the guillotine is placed in Baolongtu of the Northern Song Dynasty, somewhere is the stele garden where Hanlins inscriptions were written by all generations. Li Meng listened to his introduction, but did not plan to go over and browse carefully. He just walked around the streets and was very excited.

Chen Liu and Wang Hai were flirting with each other, but Li Meng was noticing that Lin saw something else. For example, he often saw several street performers dressed in monks dressed in monks’ robes, and the flagpoles standing on one side were all written with Shaolin disciples. This is a tradition of ancient and modern times, and is not much different from the modern times.

Although Kaifeng City is completely different from hell paradise inside and outside the city, some signs can still be seen in the city. For example, those who sell children and daughters or sell themselves as slaves, they are kneeling on the street. Li Meng glanced casually and sighed a few times and stopped caring. For these people, population trading is not cruel. Being bought is their luck, and at least they can survive.

Others obviously didn't care about such population transactions, and didn't even regard this as a special scenery. They just skipped past the city gate and walked inward, and gradually walked to the real prosperous area. Perhaps Meng En took the initiative to lead the most prosperous area. Ten horses on the road could run away side by side. The houses on both sides were basically invisible to the bungalows, and they were all two or three-story buildings. This was a scene that could not be seen in Jiningzhou.

Restaurants, shops, gambling houses, brothels and other industries are almost all among them. Li Meng and the others entered the city early, and gambling houses and brothels are still closed, but the streets are still very lively. In front of the shops, the guys either solicited loudly or welcomed the guests enthusiastically.

The aroma of food and powder permeates the streets. Li Meng rarely feels relaxed and happy. When he walks around, he sees an alley at the front. The alley is walking into it. It should be very long. I can’t see clearly what is inside the alley.

However, the reason why Li Meng attracted Li Meng's attention was because there were a group of girls standing at the entrance of the alley. Whenever someone came over, they would respond with a smile and talk to each other.

Li Meng shook his head with a smile, thinking that this is the so-called brothel. Compared with modern times, they can legally solicit customers on the street. Meng En talked all the way, but he didn't say anything. The atmosphere was a bit dull. Li Meng asked simply:

"That alley is the so-called brothel Chu Pavilion, are there many girls standing?"

Meng En looked in the direction Li Meng pointed at, smiled awkwardly, and leaned closer to Li Meng and said in a low voice:

"Sir, you've always read it wrong. They are Xiang Gu Tang, all of them are husband and rabbits."

It turned out to be a man. Li Meng felt disgusted and didn't even feel like he was getting closer to see the freshness. He was a good man in the late Ming Dynasty. When Li Meng and the two salt merchant shopkeepers and Master Ning were chatting about the market, they also heard them vaguely mention it. Maybe they felt disgusted, so they just skipped it.

In the Ming Dynasty, whether it was an emperor or a noble official, his hobby for boys became a trend. If you are not good at this, you will be embarrassed to call yourself a cultural person, with the effect on the upper and lower levels and the cultural deformity. This is also a manifestation of the chaotic times in the late Ming Dynasty.

Who would have thought that today I could still see it directly. After being shocked by this scene, I even felt disgusting and uncomfortable when I thought about it. Li Meng suddenly felt that most of the interest in watching the scenery disappeared.

He accelerated his pace, and the people around him hurriedly followed, walked through the alley, and did not take long to move forward. The buildings on both sides of the street were more sophisticated than before, but they were less flashy and more noble, and there were fewer people on the street.

Moreover, most of the two sides are long courtyard walls, the courtyard gates are extremely sparse, and the gate towers are tall and gorgeous, and they are all dressed in bright clothes and angry horses, and there are almost no people walking.

After walking a few steps, Meng En stopped him nervously and whispered:

"Sir, I remember the younger one wrongly. Let's change the road and walk forward to it. The place where the Zhou royal palace and relatives live. There are many taboos, and it is inconvenient to collide with them."

The Ming Dynasty was a great conferred royal family vassal kings, but these vassal kings had no rights except being rich when they went to the local area, and they were regarded as very dead by local officials. For example, the relatives of the vassals were not allowed to be locked down. A specific example is that the Zhou family was not allowed to take Kaifeng City this time, otherwise it would be a serious crime.

These princes and nobles are in the city, and they are doing things wrong in the city. Their reputation has long been terrible. There are also several rules, such as someone rushes to collide, and even if they are killed in the street, the local officials are not able to say anything. After hearing Meng En say this, Li Meng was unwilling to cause trouble, so he simply changed the place.

Although Li Meng's subordinates, although there were about ten people pretending to be passers-by, there were a lot of people on the bustling streets just now, and they were drowned in the crowd. However, when they came here, the streets were deserted, and these people suddenly became conspicuous.

Seeing Li Meng turn around, they also turned around. Even Li Meng himself felt that the guards behind him were really a little eye-catching. Why would he lean against him?

After walking a few steps forward, Wang Hai turned around and glanced a few times, then hurriedly approached Li Meng's ear and whispered:

"Sir, there are more people behind!"
