After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains
Chapter 279 Madam, I'll Help You
Qingbai nodded and said, "There is a mix of good and bad people there, from all walks of life. If the master's dream is true, the best place in the capital to hide and recuperate is the Ghost Market."
Before this, Qin Yaoguang not only told her the name "Shang Yue Ting Feng", but also told Qing Bai that she dreamed of an injured old man kidnapping Lao Wu.
Thanks to the fact that it was ancient times when technology was not well developed, people both respected and feared the concepts of ghosts and gods.
The five children sincerely believed that Qin Yaoguang was the incarnation of a Bodhisattva, and their attitude also influenced the people around Qin Yaoguang.
As for Qing Bai, she believed it.
Because she witnessed Qin Yaoguang finding a way out of despair and pulling her back from the brink of death.
Naturally, Qing Bai also took the dream Qin Yaoguang told as a serious matter.
After her detailed explanation, Qin Yaoguang understood that the place was equivalent to a market hidden in the capital where underground transactions were conducted secretly.
The reason for this name is that the things being traded cannot be seen in public.
There are all kinds of things, real and fake, and a lot of stolen goods.
As well as all kinds of information of unknown origin and difficult to identify, as well as strange and weird things, as long as there is someone to sell and someone who needs it, they can be traded.
Secondly, the market opens one hour after the curfew.
Under the curfew system, the gates of each ward were locked and people were not allowed to walk on the streets. However, people were not subject to such restrictions within the ward.
Otherwise, wouldn't so many entertainment venues that are open only at night have to close down?
In addition, there is a rumor that most of the permanent residents of the ghost market live underground.
But this was just an unverified rumor, and Qing Bai didn't know whether it was true or not, so he just told Qin Yaoguang everything.
Qing Bai was born into the Cui family's secret guard family. Although they were both martial artists, they were naturally not the same kind of people as those who made a living in the ghost market.
"It is rumored that there is a family of three evil spirits in the Ghost Market," Qing Bai said nervously, "Master, if the Fifth Young Master is really in the Ghost Market, you must not take any risks."
After hearing Qing Bai's words, even at this moment, Qin Yaoguang couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
If she wasn't worried about Lao Wu's whereabouts, she would really like to take a good look around this mysterious place.
"I know what's going on."
Qin Yaoguang pondered for a moment and asked, "According to what you said, the ghost market cannot be seen during the day, right?"
Qing Bai nodded: "There is no ghost market during the day, it looks like a very ordinary place."
"In that case, there is no danger at the moment, let's go take a look first."
If we can find the signboard of "Watching the Moon and Listening to the Wind", we can discuss countermeasures.
"Yes."
The carriage headed towards the place Qingbai pointed, and the road became narrower and bumpier as it went further.
When the Dajing Dynasty was first founded and its capital was established, it had great ambitions.
The important officials of the imperial court, who suffered greatly from the difficulty of living in the capital, took advantage of the opportunity of repairing the city wall and wrote a letter to the emperor proposing to expand the wall ten feet further from the original foundation.
In the specific implementation process, there are more and less.
But overall, it has expanded much further than the capital of the previous dynasty.
It was originally a good thing.
The territory can be expanded, but the deeply rooted customs inherited have their own reasons.
The imperial city faces north and south, and the court office is located on the street outside the imperial city.
Therefore, the residences of powerful families, prominent clans and important officials were all centered on the imperial city, forming the most intuitive power genealogy map.
Those who are closest are also those who are closest to the center of power.
For example, the Princess's Mansion where Qin Yaoguang lives, the Grand Tutor's Mansion where Xie Shu lives, and the Duke of Ningguo's Mansion of the Cui family.
The area is clearly divided and ordinary people usually don't set foot here.
Just like the Duke Zhenguo Mansion has been abandoned for many years, as long as Yan Changqing is there, the Mansion belongs to him, and no one else will dare to interfere.
Further outside are the residences of the court officials.
The lower the official rank, the farther away he lives.
The East and West Markets were places where wealth circulated, gathering imperial merchants, wealthy merchants, traveling merchants, porters, escort companies, and so on.
As for the South City where they are going now, it is home to a group of people with the most uncertain lives, the most vicious ruffians, the most down-and-out gangsters, prostitutes, doctors who have been stripped of their licenses to run clinics, and so on.
Although the place has become larger, the overall layout of the capital has not actually changed at all.
Young students who come to Beijing from their hometowns to take part in the Spring Examination with dreams in their hearts still have to sigh that "living in Beijing is not easy."
Perhaps the only gain is that the territory has become larger and more difficult to manage.
Qin Yaoguang was sitting in the car and was almost thrown up and hit the roof above his head.
If she hadn't experienced it herself, she would never have known that there were such bumpy roads in the capital.
It’s not as good as the official road outside the city.
She quickly put her hands against the wall of the car to avoid close contact with the roof of the car.
At this moment, Qin Yaoguang felt that if Zhou Qinghe could really make rubber, a groundbreaking product, it would definitely be a great thing that would benefit the country and the people.
Qing Bai reached out to steady her and looked outside.
"Master, I came here once two years ago, and I didn't expect this place to be even more dilapidated."
Qin Yaoguang followed her line of sight and saw dilapidated houses, passers-by with dull eyes, and white walls that could barely make out their original appearance.
"What is Jingzhao Prefecture doing?" Qin Yaoguang asked with a frown.
"It was the people of South City who did not want the government to control them, so they vandalized it on purpose."
Qin Yaoguang finally understood.
The people of Nancheng were tough and ruthless, and Jingzhao Prefecture was also troubled. As long as they didn't cause any trouble, they would turn a blind eye.
It is very similar to the slums that exist in modern prosperous metropolises, with its own set of rules of conduct.
At this moment, the two heard a loud bird song.
It was the secret code agreed upon with Yan Changqing before departure.
Qing Bai stuck half of her head out of the carriage and saw one of Yan Changqing's personal guards making a gesture to her.
"Master, let's go back to the restaurant over there and take a rest."
Going further, you will go deeper.
"it is good."
Qin Yaoguang agreed, and the carriage turned around on the spot and drove back to the street corner with a clatter.
In order to conceal its identity, the green oil-covered carriage was the carriage used by the servants. Not only was it much narrower, but its interior and exterior configurations were far inferior to the one she was used to.
For example, there is no place to put down the horse stool.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Qingbai rolled down nimbly.
Just as he was about to turn around and take Qin Yaoguang off the carriage, he saw Yan Changqing already waiting there.
The two were a couple reunited after a long separation, and Qing Bai immediately took a step back.
Qin Yaoguang lifted the car curtain and saw a strong and powerful arm stretching across her.
"Ma'am, let me help you."
She was not a pretentious person, and Yan Changqing used his arm instead of his hand.
What is she afraid of through the clothes?
In modern times, she has seen everything in the swimming pool.
Even so, when she put her right hand on Yan Changqing's arm, her heart still beat a beat extra loudly.
