Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

A group of Habayashi guards were patrolling the road. The captain's name is Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi and his team are responsible for patrolling Changshoufang Street. I have checked three restaurants.

"The last restaurant on Captain's Road is called Chang Lai Restaurant, which is right in front." A cook came forward to report.

"Well, after searching this house, let's go to another street. Today's task is to search all the places where people can live. We all opened our eyes and looked carefully. If we find anything suspicious, we will immediately arrest them.

And remember to keep your hands and feet clean, I don’t want to chop off your heads with my own hands. Remember it? "Zhou Yi shouted to his men.

If you die in battle, you can still be considered a hero and you can still get a pension. But if you violate military discipline, you are breaking the law and you will die in vain. He doesn't want his men to die so cowardly

What Zhou Yi didn't know was that there was a pair of eyes watching them on the second floor of Chang Lai Restaurant.

There are about ten people on the second floor of Chang Lai Restaurant. The leader was dressed as a wealthy businessman, while the others were dressed as guards and servants.

"Squad leader, a team of Habayashi guards are here." A man dressed as a guard standing by the window said to the wealthy businessman.

They are a class of the royal guards who are being assessed. The squad leader's name is Chen Sixi. They were originally affiliated with the cavalry battalion, but this time they were at a disadvantage because they couldn't ride horses in the battle.

However, they also participated in the usual training. Chen Sixi became the squad leader not only because he was good at martial arts, but also because he was very flexible and liked to use his brain.

They robbed a caravan outside the city. If it was true, they would definitely kill and silence them. But this was just an assessment, so they knocked everyone unconscious and took off their clothes. Before he was knocked unconscious, he told the wealthy businessman that he would go to the boutique pavilion to ask Wang Hongfu for compensation in five days. And showed him the piece of paper with Li Shen's small seal.

The businessman was also shrewd and guessed that King Ji might be doing something again, so he cooperated very well. In this way, Chen Sixi and others entered Chang'an City wearing their clothes, taking their road guides, carrying their goods, and placing their weapons on the cars openly.

This was the system of the Tang Dynasty. The martial custom allowed people to carry bows, arrows, knives, swords, wooden swords, short spears, etc. Of course, fighting with weapons is another matter.

Both sides who didn't hurt anyone scored a hundred big boards each. If you hurt someone, you will be sentenced to three years of forced labor. However, merchants will bring some guards and weapons when carrying goods for safety.

The military guards guarding the gate were also used to it, so it was easy for Chen Sixi and the others to sneak in.

Chen Sixi and the others settled directly at Chang Lai Restaurant after entering Chang'an. It is relatively close to the West Market, so it is not easy to arouse suspicion, and the terrain is accessible in all directions, making it easy to escape.

"Everyone, please remember your identities. You go to the backyard and take out half of the goods while we go to the West Market. Don't be so panicked. Act naturally." Chen Sixi warned everyone. He was going to spend a day in the West Market. Since he was a businessman, he should do business.

After speaking, he opened the door and asked a few guards dressed as servants to go to the backyard to pull out a cart of goods, while he went downstairs to wait. As soon as he reached the stairs, he saw a group of Habayashi guards walking in. A leader who looked like a team leader walked up to the counter and said: "Shopkeeper, we are the Habayashi Guards searching for suspicious persons. Show me the list of people you checked in yesterday."

"General, please take a look. There were seven groups of us here yesterday. They were all caravans and they all carried goods. I don't think they are suspicious people." The shopkeeper handed the list to Zhou Yi and said

"It doesn't matter. We are also following orders. It is better if there are no suspicious persons. We are just taking a casual look. Are these people still in the room now?" Zhou Yi said casually, looking over and over.

"Four groups of people seem to have gone to the West Market with their goods. Three of them haven't left yet."

"Okay, I'll check these three, and I'll check the others tonight." Zhou Yi took the roster and asked the shopkeeper to lead him to the back room.

Chen Sixi was happy to see them coming. He quickly calmed down and walked over. As he walked, he pretended to say to the people around him: "If the goods can be sold at a good price this time, we will make a lot of money. When the time comes, we will go to the boutique pavilion to buy a batch of goods and take them back. Then I will see who dares to say that I Can’t do business.”

The people next to him also said very cooperatively: "What Dalang said is to show those people what Dalang is capable of." These words coupled with his actions made him look like a dog-legger.

"This gentleman, this General Yulinwei said he wanted to check the merchants who checked in yesterday. Look..." The shopkeeper saw Chen Sixi stepping forward and said

"Oh, I'm planning to go to the West City. This general doesn't know what he wants to find out about the villain." Chen Sixi immediately changed his face and said humbly to Zhou Yi. These days, people are afraid of officials, and you can't stand it if they accuse you of anything.

Zhou Yi saw nothing in Chen Sixi's performance. All the businessmen I met today were like this. So he said: "Show me your road sign."

Chen Sixi quickly asked the people behind him to take out all the Luyin name tags from the package. There are other people's pictures that are also taken out for Zhou Yi to check.

"You are from Fengyang County, Shangzhou. How long is the journey to here?" Zhou Yi asked casually.

Chen Sixi knew that Zhou Yi was testing him, but luckily he asked.

"Report to the general. It's actually not that far, only about ten days' journey. If you don't ride on horseback while hauling goods, you can get there in three days."

"Well, it's not too far." Zhou Yi has been observing the expressions of these people. After not noticing anything unusual. Return everything to Chen Sixi and others. "Be careful these days, the city is not peaceful. If you find anyone suspicious, remember to report it to the government. Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes, general, don't worry. This is a small token of my gratitude. You can accept it for tea." Chen Sixi agreed and handed it to Zhou Yi with four or five guan of money.

"No need. We have military discipline. Don't worry, we won't embarrass you." When Zhou Yi saw the money handed over by Chen Sixi, half of his suspicions were immediately eliminated. The status of businessmen in this era is too low. What I fear the most is government corruption. Chen Sixi gave him money to buy him off, and to build a good relationship with him and come to him later if anything happened.

After Zhou Yi checked Chen Sixi, he asked the shopkeeper to take him to check on others. When Chen Sixi left the restaurant, his men had already pulled out the goods.

"Let's go to the West Market." Chen Sixi said to everyone

"Squad leader, it's so dangerous. My heart almost jumped out of my chest just now. I feel like my legs are shaking. Fortunately, I wasn't discovered." A guard wiped the sweat and whispered to Chen Sixi.

"Don't talk. There are many people on the road, so don't be overheard. Remember, we will be rich businessmen from now on." After saying this, several people rushed towards the West Market.
