Chapter 11 Disappointment

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the East City. The east and west cities are the most prosperous places in the capital. Each yard in Daxing City is planned in an orderly manner. These two cities are about the size of two yards, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people for trading at the same time. Most of the western markets are for buying and selling cattle, sheep, horses and other large livestock. The east city is much more complex, with silk, porcelain, tea and various daily necessities, and it can be said that it has everything.

This place is usually very lively, and at this time there are even more crowds. Yang Yong and his two daughters came, and the guard commander Liu Hu leaned over with a dismay look on his face and whispered: "Master, there are too many people here, which is not conducive to the Emperor's safety. Should I go somewhere else to see it?"

When Yang Lan heard this, she was very anxious. Except for Dongcheng City, there were only a few shops in other places. Where was Dongcheng City lively, so she quickly shook Yang Yong's arm: "Father, can you go in and take a look?"

Yang Yan's face also had a look of trial. She looked at it with her watery eyes, as if she was afraid that her father would regret it. Yang Yong laughed silently and nodded. Yang Lan immediately jumped happily: "Father is so good."

I am the emperor. If I can’t even visit an East City, what’s the fun of being an emperor? I am not a white dragon fish suit. There are so many people around me and I am in the capital. Can’t I protect it? Yang Yong thought to himself.

Seeing the emperor nodding, Liu Hu knew that it would be meaningless to persuade him. He made a few gestures and directed the guards of the East Palace to carefully squeeze out a path so that the emperor and the two princesses could pass through.

When Yang Yong just got off the carriage, many passers-by at the entrance of the East City saw Yang Yan and Yang Lan’s two women’s beautiful appearance lit up. Although the Sui Dynasty couldn’t help but go out, it was still slightly preserved compared to the previous Zhou Dynasty. Many wealthy daughters from high-ranking families rarely went out. Moreover, Yang Yan and Yang Lan’s appearance were not comparable to ordinary daughters. They couldn’t help but point fingers at Yang Yong. Some gangsters were even overjoyed and wanted to squeeze in to take advantage of the crowds in the market.

Just as dozens of strong men around him wrapped the middle-aged man and two girls in the middle, the gangsters could only sigh in disappointment, knowing that the people in front of them must be either rich or noble. Not to mention that they can't squeeze over, even if they can squeeze over, they can't offend them. They can only give up their own idea of ​​taking advantage of themselves.

The shops along the way were crowded with people. Yang Yong and his two daughters could only walk slowly through the middle. Seeing the prosperity of the rule, Yang Yong was in an extremely happy mood.

Of course, the quality of the things sold here is difficult to compare with those used in the palace. It is just that there are many types but they are not comparable to that of the palace. Whenever Yang Lan sees a novelty thing, she will yell and jump up, and ask the guards to take it to her to see it. As long as she looks at it, she will buy it. Not a matter of a sudden, the seven or eight guards recently carried all kinds of things in their hands. Yang Yan, as her sister, is much quieter than Yang Lan. She just looks around and looks around and rarely asks to buy things. However, every time she buys, she also has a sweet smile on her face.

Seeing the happy expressions of his two daughters, Yang Yong showed a smile on his face. The woman's enthusiasm for shopping has not changed at all even for more than a thousand years, even the princess is no exception. Unfortunately, such days are too few for them.

There was a sound of gongs and drums in front of me. It turned out that I had already walked to the middle of the East City. There was a large open space here, but it was still divided into three layers inside and three layers inside and three layers inside and around. On the open space, there were several high platforms, and each stage was performing, horns, beast shows, and juggling...

Whenever they arrived at the surprise, there were bursts of cheers coming from below. Yang Yan and Yang Lan stopped while juggling. A bamboo pole was stretched out on the stage. Several boys, who were only seven or eight years old, were doing various thrilling movements on the bamboo pole. In Yang Yong's previous life, such acrobatics were only allowed to perform. At this time, the two princesses were fascinated by the sight of the thrilling place. When they arrived at the thrilling place, they also learned from the people around them to applaud. After a while, their hands were already red.

Such a performance naturally cannot attract Yang Yong's interest. However, seeing his two daughters happy watching, Yang Yong stopped and let them watch. After a while, the performance ended, a young man walked around the venue with a black tray covered with red silk. The copper coins suddenly smashed the tray like raindrops. However, most of the copper coins were hit on the man holding the tray. The young man was not annoyed and just smiled and suffered. For him, the more he smashed, the higher his income, the more he smashed, and it was worth it even if he had to endure the pain of flesh and blood.

Yang Lan also learned to throw a coin from the top. With Yang Lan's skills, she naturally couldn't throw it into the plate. With a clang, the coin fell into Taichung and rolled forward along the wooden platform.

Hearing the sound of coins falling on the stage, the young man holding a tray suddenly lit up his eyes, and his feet moved quickly, stepping down the rolling coins, picked them up and saw that it was indeed a silver coin. He blew the silver coin and put it in his ear to listen. The smile on his face suddenly became even stronger, and he hugged and clasped his fists: "Thank you all for your appreciation."

A silver coin can be exchanged for five hundred cigarettes of copper coins, and it would be good to collect one or two hundred cigars of copper coins in a performance. This silver coin can be worth several performances. No wonder he had to thank him. Many people in the audience also watched the young people collect the silver coins enviously. The most they threw was only more than ten cigarettes of copper coins, but they didn't have the courage to reward one silver coin at a time.

When they lost the money just now, no one saw who was throwing it over. Everyone couldn't help but look around, and finally their eyes were fixed on Yang Yong and his party. Everyone was stunned, naturally, they were shocked by the appearance of Yang Yan and Yang Lan. They just looked at the guards vaguely around them, and no one dared to come and chat with them. However, they couldn't help but glance at them from time to time.

The two women were quite unaccustomed to the gazes of the people around them. In the palace, the eunuchs and palace maids dared to stare at them so unscrupulously. In addition, the juggling had already been watched, Yang Lan pulled Yang Yong's sleeve and signaled to leave. Of course, Yang Yong met his daughter's request and the group continued to walk forward.

"Go away, go away, a carriage is coming."

As the words fell, there was a sudden chaos behind Yang Yong and others. Pedestrians on the road dodged to both sides, giving up a passage in the middle. Not far away, there was a sound of horse neighing and wheels rolling.

Liu Hu and other guards in the East Palace were shocked, fearing that someone would come to the emperor, so they hurriedly protected Yang Yong and the two princesses to retreat aside. There were already many people here, which made these guards in the East Palace squeezed and became even more messy. Some goods in the shops on both sides were scattered all over the ground, but no one paid attention to them at this time and stepped on them with their feet. Some of the best fabrics were immediately covered with footprints. Even if they could be washed and sold before selling, the value would be greatly reduced.

A jingle of bells came, and the carriage that had caused chaos just now came over. There was a team of more than ten evil servants in front and behind the carriage. They were holding horse whips in their hands and slamming in the air. The carriage was pulled by two tall horses. The body was very gorgeous. Two drivers controlled the horses in front, and a fat man sat behind him, looking around, looking at the chaos on the road, and opening his mouth with disapproval, very proud.

After the carriage passed, the chaos on the street subsided, but the losses caused were irreparable. Not only were there fabrics, broken porcelain, and the tea that had been dumped, but many cloth shoes that were discarded by people. Not far away, a boy in his teens was crying. I don’t know if he was frightened or injured in the chaos just now.

Yang Yong's face turned pale. Fortunately, the fat man's carriage was not fast. Otherwise, if such a crowded place would accidentally lead to a large-scale stampede. I'm afraid the fat man did this on purpose.

"Check who is this person?"

"Yes." Liu Hu responded and gave an order to an escort. Seeing that the escort went down, Liu Hu suggested to Yang Yong uneasy: "Your Majesty, this place is too unsafe, go back to the palace."

Yang Yong's You Xing had already been completely defeated by the incident just now. He nodded and walked out of the East City. Yang Yong got on the carriage. Yang Lan whispered in Yang Yong's ear: "Father, no matter who that fat man is, the father must punish him severely."

"That's right, the father must be punished severely." Yang Yan, who has always been soft-hearted, also spoke.

"Then tell me, how should the father punish that fat man?"

"He will not dare to make a mistake again if he hits the board."

"Beheading, no, the whole family will be executed."

The person who said he was hitting the board was Yang Yan, and the person who said it was Yang Lan. Yang Yong touched Yang Yan's head: "Pingyang, you are so kind." He touched Yang Lan's head again: "Songyang is too fierce. If such a person does not commit murder, he will be exiled at most."

"Yes, Father, exiled him for ten thousand miles." Yang Lan raised his head and said with a smile, "I heard that there is a continent in the extreme south. The people on it are not only as dark as charcoal, but also eat human flesh. It is best to exile the fat man."
