Chapter 1093 Blind
The structure of Xiaoleizhou City and Gaoxiang City is completely different. If you look down from a high altitude, you can see that it is a huge city in a concentric circle.
A talisman wall was built with Yangcheng as the center. Beyond the talisman wall in Yangcheng is an inner city. A circle of talisman walls is also built in the inner city. Beyond the talisman wall in the inner city is an outer city. The outer city is also built in a talisman wall to prevent foreign enemies.
Zhou Fan was admitted to Xiaoleizhou Prefecture after inspecting an outer city gate.
The inspection of the outer city gate is also the final inspection. In order to improve operational efficiency, the Xiaolei official family is unobstructed when they are fine.
Only when a critical situation occurs will the gates between the three cities be martial law.
The area of each city in the outer city, inner city, and Yangcheng is about the same size as that of Gaoxiang City. Among them, the outer city is home to civilians and some small merchants. The inner city mainly lives with small and medium-sized families, large merchants, and Yangcheng is home to Zhongda families, large merchants and various official institutions.
The class is clear, so the level of wheel safety is naturally the highest in the Central City, followed by the inner city and the worst in the outer city.
It was already afternoon now. Zhou Fan checked through the outer city gate and changed a carriage. When the groom took him to an inn in the inner city, it was already dark.
Zhou Fan stayed in the Inn Inn. He woke up early the next morning. After breakfast, he was so energetic that he took his younger sister and Zhou Momo who was invisible to others.
He came to the prefecture mainly to learn Taoism at Xiaolei Academy, so he naturally had to report to Xiaolei Academy today.
Zhou Fan got into a carriage.
"Where is this adult going?" the groom asked with a cheerful smile on his face.
"Go to Xiaolei Academy." Zhou Fan waved his hand.
"Where?" the groom was stunned and said, "What academy?"
"Xiaolei Academy." Zhou Fan said again.
"Xiaolei Academy?" The groom asked with embarrassment on his face: "Where is the Xiaolei Academy you mentioned? Is it in the state city or in an outer town?"
The groom didn't know where Xiaolei Academy was... Zhou Fan was stunned. This was a little different from what he thought.
The academy is famous all over the world, like Gaoxiang Academy. People in Gaoxiang City cannot not know where it is?
Did this groom come to Xiaoleizhou Prefecture recently?
"But I don't know either." Zhou Fan said with a dry cough.
"Sir, I'll go and ask someone for you." The groom said immediately.
Zhou Fan nodded and agreed, and he watched the groom communicate with other grooms.
But soon the groom came back with a strange expression. He smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, have you made a mistake? Our prefecture has never had a Xiaolei Academy, but there are academies in the five counties of Xiaolei..."
Zhou Fan was stunned. It would be strange if a groom had not heard of Xiaolei Academy, but so many grooms who made a living by driving a carriage had not heard of where Xiaolei Academy was...
Zhou Fan had no choice but to get off the carriage and stood aside to think about why this happened?
Could it be that Xiaolei Academy has never been open to the public, and no one can recognize it over the years... Zhou Fan quickly came up with a reason that he thought was reasonable, but he soon felt that this was not reasonable.
Because even if Xiaolei Academy is not open to the public to recruit students, there should be a specific address, and the plaque of the academy is hung, and there is no reason no one knows... Zhou Fan scratched his head and didn't think much about it. When he came here, he never thought that this kind of situation would be impossible to find Xiaolei Academy.
Zhongtian and Huang Bujue and others did not remind him that there was such a thing.
The key now is to find Xiaolei Academy first.
There is no way. If you go to Xiaolei Yiluansi Mansion, you will definitely know the location of Xiaolei Academy.
But now he would definitely waste more time when he went to Xiaolei Yiluansi Mansion, and he didn't want to arrive at Yiluansi Mansion so soon, otherwise he might have been sent to work.
He could delay for a short while and prepare to step into the Taoist realm with all his heart or have a way to step into the Taoist realm before he could report to Yiluansi Mansion.
Zhou Fan thought about it, and then turned back to the groom and asked, "If I want a place where others don't know, who do you think will know?"
"Does the adult still want to find Xiaolei Academy?" The groom said with a thoughtful look on his face: "If you want to be familiar with the state, it is the official family. But if you go to the government office, if you have no way, you will probably be driven out... Oh, by the way, I know that he has lived in the state for decades and claims to know everything."
"If we don't know much about something and ask him for help, he can point it out for us immediately."
"Who is he? Take me over quickly." Zhou Fan said happily.
"Sir, I have to pay the travel fee to him." The groom hesitated and said, "And it's not cheap. It's almost the same as the fare for us to go back and forth to the outside town. Why don't I ask someone else for you?"
"Didn't you ask about it just now? Ask for the travel fee and take me to find him." Zhou Fan didn't care about this little money. As long as the man knew what this money was.
Zhou Fan said so, and there was no problem with the groom. He quickly took Zhou Fan out of the inner city and went to a street market ten feet above the outer city gate and found the person he was looking for.
The person the groom took him to find was a blind man.
The blind man wore a round hat and had a short beard, sitting next to the square table, leaning against a gray banner, which read: It cannot count on the world, and cannot see the fate of a person.
A blind fortune teller.
Zhou Fan glanced at the gray banner and found it quite interesting. Generally, fortune tellers wanted to say that they were omniscient and omnipotent, but this blind man was very modest and honest.
"Old blind man." The groom shouted carelessly.
"Zhang Laosan." The old blind man said a little annoyed: "I'm sleeping, why are you shouting loudly?"
"I'm bringing you business." The groom smiled and said, "Sir, this is the person I'm talking to you."
"Is this adult going to tell fortunes?" The old blind man smiled and looked up slightly to Zhou Fan's direction, asking, "Cause, good and bad, and future, you can ask about everything, and you are not allowed to charge money."
He had gray pupils and seemed to know that Zhou Fan was standing there.
"Old blind man, don't lie here. The state government knows that your fortune telling is the most unreliable. This lord is here to ask you for directions." The groom cursed with a smile.
"Do you know where Xiaolei Academy is?" Zhou Fan asked with anticipation.
"Xiaolei Academy..." The old blind man frowned slightly and said, "What are you looking for for it?"
"Study." Zhou Fan understood that the old blind man must have known it, otherwise he would not have asked him what he would do in Xiaolei Academy.
"Did Zhang Laosan tell you? Asking for directions is equivalent to telling me about fortunes, but it requires money." The old blind man smiled.
Zhou Fan took out the money and put it on the table and said, "He told me this, this is the travel fee for you."
