"What if someone from a foreign country throws something away?" After Jin Manqing asked this question, she felt a little regretful.
The idle man laughed and said, "There are no thieves in the East Market." After that, the idle man bowed his hands toward the south of the city and said, "His Royal Highness, King Qin, has issued a strict order. The market and the wharf are the face of the Tang Dynasty. You can lose money but you can't.
It’s embarrassing. So there are absolutely no thieves in Dongshi and the docks.”
"What about outside the East Market?"
"It depends on whether the warlords in Chang'an are free. Of course, those who have been stolen will be taken care of. The warlords are too lazy to take care of the things they have lost. However, those who report false reports will be severely punished, but those who have been lost are said to be stolen.
If there are enough witnesses to prove that it was found, then half of it will go to the public and half to the person who found it."
Jin Manqingxin said, the people of the Tang Dynasty only care about the people of the Tang Dynasty!
Xuejing understood, but that was not the case.
How big is the city of Chang'an? It takes more than 130 miles to run around the outer city of Chang'an. There are only 3,000 city guards and 2,000 military commanders. With this small number of people spread out, there are only five people in one house.
There are 60 people. Let's just say that this Dongshi has 1,650 acres. On average, one person has to look after an area of 30 to 40 acres of land.
It's true that there is a shortage of manpower, so naturally they won't meddle in those nosy matters.
Because of this, the idle men here in Dongshi are responsible for shopping guides, leading the way, moving goods, and also protecting the safety of the place. Even when leaves are falling in autumn, or if something unexpected happens, they will also help sweep the streets.
Jin Manqing visited several stores, but only a few items were available in unlimited quantities.
It seems that the more precious ones, such as nut maltose, can only be sold for five taels if you don't show your Tang Dynasty identity certificate.
Goods such as high-quality green tea, snow sugar, and snow salt were not available at all.
Not long after, the four idle men's backpacks were filled with most of the goods. Xue Jing had already persuaded Jin Manqing once, and then they had left less than one-tenth of the Dongshi market. There were more shops behind, so this was the way to go.
If you buy it, you won't have enough money.
At this moment, a group of three people happened to walk across from Jin Manqing.
Both parties were paying attention to the shops on the street, but they did not expect that there would be someone in front of them. The idle man following Jin Manqing immediately stretched out his hand to ward off the other party.
But a man next to the opponent, who was obviously a guard, pushed the idle man hard to avoid hitting his master.
When the idle man was retreating, his body hit the food stall next to him and knocked the stall over. In order to protect the goods Jin Manqing bought, he tore his own clothes and there was a blood mark on his arm. There was a little blood.
Blood stains oozed out.
"You..." The other idle guy was about to rush up.
Xue Jing stood in the middle of the two parties, stretched out her hand to stop the idle man, and then said: "There are many people in Dongshi, so it is inevitable that there will be jostling. His Highness King Qin has an order to be courteous in everything. Men are strong and women are weak. The one who leads the way
People are afraid of bumping into guests and hosts, so they extend their hands to protect each other, but it is a kind heart and a duty. You can agree!"
"Humph!" The pushing man snorted coldly, but said nothing.
He didn't speak because he couldn't understand what Xue Jing was saying.
However, the leader replied in Chinese: "This is very reasonable." Then he turned to look at Jin Manqing and looked at her carefully. From the clothes on her body, the accessories she wore, and the attire of the maid behind her.
, in terms of clothing materials and accessories, this should be the daughter of the Goguryeo royal family.
The leader was the envoy of Baekje.
After seeing Jin Manqing's dress, he saluted and said twice in Baekje and Goguryeo: "Your Majesty, Baekje, went to the Tang Dynasty as an envoy, and I didn't ask for your title!"
Since she is a princess, she should have a title.
The language of the Baekje envoy was not Chinese, so Xuejing naturally couldn't understand it.
But the two maids understood it, and there was obviously a look of fear on their faces.
Jin Manqing was naturally able to understand, and her heart ached a little, but she replied very calmly: "I am a civilian!"
"Are you kidding? Are you a commoner?" The Baekje envoy's tone had changed somewhat.
"I am a commoner!" Jin Manqing knew clearly that the other party was dealing with this matter based on her status. In Goguryeo, she was a medical girl among the lower-class palace ladies. In the Tang Dynasty, she was a commoner, and even this commoner
Much more noble than her original status.
Bang! A loud slap hit Jin Manqing's face.
"Despicable commoner, you stole the princess clothes from there. Despicable commoner, you didn't take the initiative to give way when you saw the superior. What is your name and what is your identity?"
Xuejing still didn't understand, but she saw that the man who just snorted was about to step forward and hit Jin Manqing.
Jin Manqing was beaten, and Xue Jing was already angry. Another man came forward to fight again, but Xue Jing couldn't ignore it, so he took out a short knife to protect Jin Manqing.
Jin Manqing, however, just covered her beaten face with one hand and sat on her knees on the cold stone floor, completely stunned.
Her two maids were so frightened that they fell to their knees on the ground. Not to mention the guardians, it would be great if they could stand up on their own.
"Fucking Grandma Bear!" The idle man who was pushed first jumped up, took out a whistle and blew it desperately, and soon hundreds of whistles echoed around him.
Just when Xue Jing felt the fierce aura of the other party and couldn't help but retreat, a horizontal knife blocked her face. "Master, please retreat, there is someone here. The city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty has its own rules of Chang'an."
!”
The person was seven feet tall, with one eye. He had a steel prosthetic hand on his left hand, and held a horizontal sword scabbard in his right hand in front of Xue Jing. He was still wearing almost the same clothes as those idle men, but with a simple addition.
Leather handguards.
Someone came forward, and Xue Jing felt much more at ease.
First, he stepped back and took out the medicinal powder and handed it to the injured idler.
"Don't worry, real man. Our brothers in the East City will never let our guests be humiliated." The idle man took the medicine and ignored his own injuries. The first thing he said was An Xuejing's heart.
More and more people came. Dozens of idle men armed with long sticks came over and quickly surrounded the Baekje envoy.
"I am the envoy of Baekje!"
"Don't be impulsive. The Baekje envoy represents Baekje. If you hurt him, you will be in great trouble!" Xuejing saw that Jin Manqing was not hurt. She was sitting on the ground motionless, probably because she was frightened. So again
Once he stood up and persuaded the idle men: "Go to the Yamen and report to the official!"
In the east market was Wu Hou Pu, and soon the official Wu Hou arrived.
After Xuejing quickly recounted what happened here, she asked the Baekje envoy: "Are there any lies in what I said?"
"As the envoy of Baekje, beating people has nothing to do with you." The envoy of Baekje smiled coldly.
Xuejing also smiled coldly: "I will accuse you of committing a murder on the street. Since you are the envoy of Baekje, I am afraid that the small Yamen will not be able to accept the case. We will go to Chang'an Ling Yamen to fight this lawsuit!"
"If I beat a bitch, what does it have to do with you!" The Baekje envoy said in a soft tone.
"Are you going or not?" Xue Jing pressed.
The Baekje envoy thought: "If you don't want to go, if you want to sue the official, go ahead and sue. I have to report to Honglu Temple. If Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty needs me to go to court for a confrontation, I will naturally go."
"You hit someone, whether you admit it or not."
"It's just a slap in the face, why wouldn't you admit it?" the Baekje envoy said arrogantly.
"Paper and pen!" Xue Jing shouted loudly, then pointed at the Baekje envoy: "Do you dare to sign and write down, if you beat someone in front of Pindao, Pindao will definitely sue you in front of the Chang'an Order!"
The Baekje envoy smiled coldly and signed the story written by Xuejing.
"Excuse me, help her up and let's go!" Xuejing knew that here, she had no way to deal with the Baekje envoy. The other party was an envoy representing a country, and she had no power or position. Even the Marquis Wu here had no way to deal with it.
Jin Manqing was about to collapse and had to leave first.
The people around him also shouted: "If the real person needs proof, we are willing to bear witness!"
After leaving Dongshi, Jin Manqing's tense nerves finally broke and she burst into tears. She was just an eighteen-year-old girl, and the terrifying identity of Goguryeo was still deeply imprinted in her mind.
Even if a palace slave or a medical woman is beaten to death by a nobleman, at most they will have to pay a little money and have them buried.
Or even throw it directly into the countryside and let wild animals eat it.
Xue Jing's face was also livid, and with trembling hands he took out his short knife, and then took out a one-money silver coin, and handed it to the one-eyed idler: "Excuse me, please hurry up to Qin Wangzhuang and find General Bai Erwa or General Lu Maofeng."
, give this dagger and this confession to any general. Thank you!"
The one-eyed idler was originally a remnant of the army, and he also had a position in Dongshi.
When he saw the dagger, although it was not the emblem of the Qin Prince's Palace, it had the emblem of the Shennong Hall. He immediately said to the person beside him: "Find an inn and settle me down."
After saying that, he didn't take the silver coin, he just took the dagger and the confession, got on his horse and drove away.
Chang'an City prohibits horseback riding unless it is an urgent military matter.
The horse didn't dare to let it run. He just pulled the horse and let it run slowly, while shouting: "A certain person is out of the city to deliver a message. Please help me, fellow villagers. A certain person is out of the city to deliver a letter! Dear fellow villagers...
In the inn, Jin Manqing cried so hard that she almost fainted.
The two maids who were slaves were even more dumbfounded. Not only were their eyes dull, but their whole bodies were completely unresponsive. No matter they were shouting, shaking, or being slapped, there was no reaction at all. Xue Jing had no choice but to ask
An idle man helped knock two Goguryeo slave maids unconscious.
"Excuse me, please send me another message. There is her carriage outside the Imperial Education Department of the Ministry of Etiquette. Her name is Jin Manqing. I will go to Yaozhou Zushiyamen outside Shangjian Gate to report and tell them what happened today. I'm afraid she won't be able to make it back tonight.
Yaozhou has gone. What a pitiful man. I hope the Chang'an Order will accept this case."
"I'm going to report the news. The real person will rest first. I'll ask someone to bring dinner later!"
Xue Jing was very generous and even invited idle men to dinner.
This is the female concubine of the Shennong Hall who is highly respected by the people of Chang'an. If something like this happens, the idle men will do their best to help without asking for money. There are also a few idle men among them who are looking around in the East Market to see if there is anything.
I didn’t understand the person who just said the Baekje envoy. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
