Chapter 33: Robbery in the Dharma Field
After breakfast, he stayed in the study room and looked for it for a long time. Chen Zi'ang put down the book in his hand, squinted his tired eyes, and slowly walked out of the door.
After leaving the backyard, he saw Dong Yuner sitting under a door with a golden sword, commanding several male servants to do this and that with great enthusiasm.
The cherry beside him kept chattering.
"I'll let you bully people, now I know I regret it! I said that our young master is not stupid, but you don't believe it yet, and I insist on helping the old woman bully Xu Ma and the others."
"Young Master!"
Dong Yuner's eyes were sharp-eyed. When she saw Chen Zi'ang leaving the backyard, she hurriedly stood up and interrupted Cherry's words.
Chen Zi'ang nodded calmly, walked over and pointed at him again.
"Uh, do you want to go out?"
Dong Yuner guessed 90% correctly.
Nodding, Chen Zi'ang pointed at the two of them again.
"Young Master is going to take us out?"
Cherry looked excited.
Chen Zi'ang shook his head and gave her a negative answer, making her face darker.
"Young Master wants to ask us if we know where there is a good place to go?"
It was still Dong Yuner who was smart and recognized by Chen Zi'ang.
"I have to ask Cherry this. She has lived in Baxia for more than ten years and is very familiar with it. She knows exactly where there are fun and delicious food."
As for Dong Yuner herself, she came here with her father. I won’t say it soon. She was taught by her mother and was just a rich daughter who never left the door and didn’t get into two doors. She didn’t know where there was fun.
"But Cherry's stupid mouth is probably not clear. Why don't you let her go out with the young master? There is also a companion along the way."
In fact, what she wanted to say is that you can't speak yourself, so how can you communicate with others without anyone accompanying you? But worried that it would hit the other party, Dong Yuner changed her method and made a tactful suggestion.
Cherry looked gratefully at Dong Yuner.
Chen Zi'ang touched his chin, nodded, pointed at Dong Yun'er and signaled to go together.
The third young master ordered that no one dared not to obey. Dong Yuner withdrew a few cents of money and took some scattered silver, followed Chen Zi'ang and went out.
"Young Master, the most lively place we dominate is in Taipei City, where there are tea shops, wine shops, butchers, government shops, etc. The shops include silk, satin, jewelry, spices, incense, paper and horses, etc. In addition, there are medical clinics, cart repairs, fortune-telling, and all walks of life, and everything is available."
Cherries were erect and kept telling the prosperity of Taipei City, with their eyes full of expectations.
Taipei City is not far from Chen Zi'ang's Invincible General's Mansion, and it took only two incense sticks to see it from afar.
As Cherry said, this place is much more prosperous than other places, with pedestrians coming and going, and many women even sold goods along the street. There were three or two beggars with disabilities begging on the side of the road. Several copper plates could be seen in the clay pot in front of them.
The more you go, the more people there are, including scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, men, women, young and old, Confucian shirts and Taoist robes. However, there is no Buddhist school in this world, and there is a few bald heads missing, otherwise all three religions and all the various ranks will be together.
He patted the shoulder of the girl beside him and signaled her to buy some candied haws-like food. The three of them all paid one by one, and they were both smiling.
"Young Master, this is the intersection of the city. In the past, prisoners who were killed in prison were here."
Cherry pointed to the wooden platform at the intersection in front of him, his body curled up a little, and his eyes flashed and avoided.
"Hey, it seems that someone is coming to behead today. Master, let's go quickly!"
Seeing several yamen runners carrying buckets to the wooden table to wash their clothes, Cherry tightened her body, pulled Chen Zi'ang's sleeve and left.
Chen Zi'ang smiled and let her walk forward. Looking at the hawkers in front of him, the heroes riding horses, and the rich men sitting in a sedan chair, everything was full of fun.
A middle-aged man with a cold and cold color walked slowly in front of him, and the long sword behind the other party attracted his attention.
The long sword sheath is more than one meter long and about five feet wide. The sheath is dark and dull, covered with python skin, and the sheath mouth is shining with a cold light, and there is a tiger-shaped guard ring on it.
The hilt of the sword is engraved with spiral patterns to prevent the hand from being lost. There is no decorative sword spike. The overall shape is simple and elegant, which makes Chen Zi'ang curious about what the long sword in it should look like?
Thinking back to the man, he was wearing an ordinary indigo gown, with bright eyes and extraordinary temperament.
Withdrew his gaze, a fat man in front of him blocked the three of them.
"You can't walk with eyes! Get out of the way!"
The man was afraid that he was two meters tall, and his body was even more amazing. He was comparable to the sumo wrestlers in some places that Chen Zi'ang remembered. He weighed four or five hundred kilograms.
It is now autumn, but this person is shirtless and reveals his fleshy upper body.
Unlike the fat man's white skin, this person's skin looks a bit dark, reflecting sunlight, giving people a sense of metallic texture.
The road was actually very spacious, but he had to walk a straight line in the middle of the road. When others saw his majestic body and ferocious appearance, they would avoid it from afar. Only the three of them were distracted to watch the surrounding environment and did not have time to hide.
The fat man was talking, and while using his hands, he wanted to push Dong Yun'er in front of him.
Chen Zi'ang made a wrong step, reached out and gently separated the other party, pulled the two women to the side, and made way.
He doesn't want to be destroyed in a good mood.
"Huh!"
The fat man showed a hint of surprise in his eyes. He looked at the short man in front of him, then looked at his palm again, and covered his big hand at Chen Zi'ang again.
"Brother Cheng, don't make trouble!"
The man with swordsman in front of him stopped and frowned at the fat man and whispered.
"Haha, I just want to play with this little brother for a while. Since Brother Bu doesn't like it, then forget it!"
The fat man scratched the back of his head with his hands, and a smile appeared on his hideous face.
"Go away quickly! Don't miss the time."
Brother Bu shook his head and turned around to move forward. The fat man looked at Chen Zi'ang curiously, and accelerated his pace and chased after him.
"Who is it? I don't apologize, it seems that we are wrong!"
Cherry muttered in dissatisfaction, but was afraid that the other party would hear it.
Chen Zi'ang also frowned slightly, his eyes a little unhappy. This man was indeed too domineering. If the man with the sword had not spoken to stop him just now, he would have left a deep memory for the fat man!
Let him know why the flowers are so red!
"Young Master, there is a Lu family restaurant in front of me. The food and food inside are good. We can count them in Baxia County. Many of the houses will invite the chefs from their restaurants to cook at home!"
Cherry threw this matter behind his head in a blink of an eye and diligently introduced a restaurant not far away. When he spoke, his throat rolled slightly and he quietly swallowed his saliva.
When he came out at this time, he naturally would not go back. Chen Zi'ang waved his hand and the three of them entered the restaurant.
The restaurant is not big in Chen Zi'ang's opinion, only three floors, and the decoration is extremely ordinary, but there are many guests, and the seats and benches are even more shiny.
"Customer, welcome!"
A servant dressed in blue clothes, bent down and bowed, and came to greet him enthusiastically.
"Young Master, let's go upstairs?"
Dong Yuner looked at the lively scene downstairs and frowned.
"I'm so unfortunate that this girl has a lot of customers today, and there is no seat on the upper floor."
The servant replied with an apology.
Chen Zi'ang waved his hand casually, picked an uninhabited table and sat down. He leaned against the window. He could still see the scene of the street outside.
"Oh well!"
Shrugging, Dong Yuner and her two daughters sat opposite Chen Zi'ang. The three of them ordered four stir-fry dishes, and Chen Zi'ang asked to cut a few kilograms of beef alone.
Soon, the dishes were served on the table.
‘It tastes good!’
Chen Ziang nodded and praised the skills of this restaurant in his heart.
"Hey, why is it so messy there?"
Cherry, who was still looking around while eating, suddenly pointed to the end of the street outside the window.
The crowds there suddenly became panic and people ran around, as if there were beasts chasing them behind them.
"Someone robbed the Dharma field..."
One of the men in a small hats in a blanket ran and shouted loudly. Before he could finish his words, a javelin had already broken through the air from behind, piercing his whole body through his chest, and continued to penetrate into the hard ground without stopping.
The man looked at the blood-stained gun rod on his chest with horror before his eyes. His hands were trembling on the gun rod, as if he wanted to pull it out, but he finally realized that he was no longer able to do it, and tears instantly surged from his eyes.
"Start up!"
A board clip hit the man's side and flew him hard to one side of the road.
"Bang!"
Someone's iron pot fell off and covered the man's face.
Three strong horses ran wildly without caring about pedestrians on the road.
"Be careful!"
Dong Yuner suddenly stood up and yelled at the children who were just playing tricks not far away.
