Chapter 310 Do You Remember?
Chapter 310 Do You Remember?
Hui Chengyuan nodded to indicate that he could go.
He was not surprised by Mrs. Yang's obsession.
After all, she grew up in Kyoto and came to Beidong after marrying Yang Qinglan. It is normal that she can't get used to life here.
However, after all these years, she still hasn't gotten used to it. It can only be her own problem.
Yang Qingsong immediately stood up, bowed and left. Although the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess did not do anything, he was intimidated by their aura, so he went downstairs immediately after leaving the guest room.
Seeing that his four brothers and sisters were still there, he immediately shouted, "Let's go back home."
The four people thought something was going on and followed immediately.
When they found out why the prince was looking for their eldest brother, they were extremely angry.
Everyone says that my brother is stupid, but I didn't expect him to be so stupid and miss such a good opportunity.
Even if they can't change anything, as long as the two sisters can catch the prince's eye, anything is possible.
They had been in the Dong'an General's Mansion in the northeast for long enough, and they finally had a chance to change their situation and let their sisters enter the palace as concubines, but it slipped away like that.
When they went to the inn the next day, the prince had already checked out and left.
Hui Chengyuan didn't get any information in Beidong, and Xiandong was not far away, so he decided that night to set off the next day.
The carriage was stopped when it entered Xiandong City.
"Who is in the car? Do you have permission to enter the city?"
Yuan Yi jumped off the carriage and asked, "What is the entry pass? When did you need a pass to enter the city?"
The city guard took out an iron token and said, "If you don't have this, you need to pay ten taels of silver to enter the city."
Yuan Yi looked at the token and asked, "Is this ten taels of silver for one person or one team?"
The city guard glanced at the carriage road behind him and asked: "How many people are there in total?"
"Twelve people."
"Then ten taels will be enough. If there are more than twenty people, another ten taels will be required." The city guard said, stretching out his hand. "Hurry up, there are many people blocking the way behind."
Yuan Yi took out ten taels of silver and gave it to him.
The city guard raised his hand to signal the people behind to let them pass.
Yuan Yi returned to the carriage and said, "Master, you need a token to enter the city. If you don't have a token, you have to pay ten taels of silver to enter the city."
Yuan Man looked at Hui Chengyuan, "Do you know about this?"
Hui Chengyuan shook his head, "This is my first time in Xiandong too."
After entering the city, Yuan Yi found an inn. When he went in and asked, he was shocked to find that there was only an ordinary guest room, and it cost one or two taels of silver to stay in for one night, which was more expensive than the best inns in Kyoto.
Yuan Yi asked for two upper rooms and four lower rooms, and it cost him fifty taels to stay for two days.
Yuan Man got off the carriage holding Ting Ting and looked around the Xiandong City. He found that the people here were all dressed neatly, 60% of them were dressed very gorgeously, and there were no vendors on the street.
As the waiter led them upstairs, Yuan Man asked, "Waiter, why are there no vendors hawking their wares in Xiandong City?"
The waiter said, "There are vendors, but they are not allowed to set up here. They are only allowed to set up their stalls at the corner of the west city. There is a small market over there."
"This is an order from the city lord. Not only are people not allowed to set up stalls in the city, beggars are not allowed to enter the city. Anyone walking around in the city must wear clean clothes. No unclean clothes or patches are allowed."
Yuan Man raised an eyebrow, "City Lord?"
"When was he appointed city lord? I've been out and about for years and never heard of this news."
The waiter looked downstairs and said carefully, "The city lord appointed himself as the mayor, and all the officials and noble families in the city listen to him."
Hui Chengyuan glanced at him and asked, "Is this city lord the head of the An family?"
The waiter thought for a moment and said, "The city lord's surname is An, but I don't know if it's the head of the An family you mentioned."
"But the city lord is very young, and he is the dream lover of the girls in Xiandong City."
"But unfortunately, he doesn't like to go out much and only appears on major holidays."
"We're here. These two rooms are for guests. If you need anything, just ring the bell."
"Thank you for your help." Yuan Man signaled Yuan Jiu to give him some reward.
Yuan Jiu took out a dime and gave it to him. "This is a reward from the master. When you go down, have someone prepare some hot water and send it up."
"Okay, thank you for the reward." The waiter ran away with a smile.
Yuanman touched Tingting's diaper and asked, "Xiao, what do you think?"
Hui Chengyuan put Tangtang on the bed, took it from her and said, "Let someone investigate first. This city lord should have been helped up by An Xianming."
"Of course, it is also possible that someone replaced An Xianming, but the possibility is not high. It depends on when the city lord took office."
"And the An family has always proclaimed themselves the King of Qin, and it has been hereditary from generation to generation, but no one in the court recognizes it."
Yuan Man went to get a new diaper, unwrapped Tangtang and said, "The court doesn't recognize it, but the people of Xiandong do."
"After all, the An family has been in Xiandong for a hundred years. They have been the King of Qin since they came here, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. Regardless of whether the court recognizes them or not, for the people, they have always been the high and mighty princes."
"When the common people see the county magistrate and the constable, they are all high-ranking officials, not to mention a prince. As long as they don't do anything unforgivable in front of the common people, the common people will naturally trust and respect them."
Yuan Jiu brought hot water, and Yuan Man took it over to wipe Tang Tang's body, "Yuan Yi, go check it out, what's going on with this city lord."
"Also, where is An Xianming of the An family?"
Hui Chengyuan immediately added: "Lingfeng, you go with Yuanyi. You know more about An Xianming's affairs. Cooperate with Yuanyi in everything."
"Yes." Yuan Yi and Ling Feng agreed.
As soon as Yuan Yi left, Yuan San immediately stood in his original position.
After Yuan Man changed Tang Tang's diaper, he put her aside and said, "I don't think the matter of Xian Dongcheng can be resolved so quickly."
Hui Chengyuan glanced out the window and said, "Then let's make it quick and decisive."
Yuan Man shook his head, "I'm not that anxious, I just owe you a debt and I'm just thinking about it."
【(〃?〃)】Thank you for remembering.
Yuan Yi was away for two days before returning, and Yuan Man also toured the Xiandong City. It was truly well managed, with no garbage on the ground and the shops clean and tidy.
Even the stalls along the west wall of the city were arranged neatly. Everyone was very busy. When someone came, they would introduce themselves to the stalls. If no one came, they would just sit there and wait.
Better than modern management!
However, she never saw the rumored May Yan.
Hui Chengyuan immediately asked someone to check where Wu Yueyan could be seen in Xiandong.
In the inn room.
Yuan Yi and Ling Feng reported the information they had found out, "The current city lord is called An Yeming. He is wearing a mask, so it is hard to tell how old he is."
"However, he seemed to have problems with his legs. He was always sitting in a wheelchair. Even if he stood up and walked around, he only took a few steps before sitting down again."
"He seemed to like quietness. There were no people serving him. There was only a man in black following him."
"I have been hiding here for two days, but I have never seen him leave the yard. Also, no one has come to look for him."
"Since he stayed in the yard the whole time, I didn't have the chance to look for others. Besides, the man who was guarding him the whole time was quite skilled in martial arts and he almost discovered me several times."
