In the entire city of Bianliang, there are six large and small parade grounds in the west of the outer city alone. This undoubtedly further compresses the living space of the people of Bianliang and is also a small reason for the soaring housing prices. But there is no way around it, because a large number of imperial guards are stockpiled inside and outside the capital.
Among them, there is a training ground located by the river, where yellow dust is flying and the sound of horses’ hooves is deafening all day long in recent days.
But in the open area by the river, knights with superb riding skills were riding their horses across extremely complex obstacles, but soon three or five of them failed in the challenge.
On the playground, dozens of people were practicing grappling and wrestling with each other.
At this time, a carriage slowly drove into the parade ground, and a young patrolman got off the carriage.
There is only one patrolman who can ride in a horse-drawn carriage, and that is Zhang Fei.
"Zhang San?"
Taozi, who was dozing at the door, saw Zhang Fei and immediately walked over.
Zhang Fei looked around for a while and asked, "Taozi, where is Yanei?"
Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi have been immersed in the military training ground since they were young, and they are very familiar with everything here. Not to mention, except for their height, their archery and riding skills have already met the standards of the upper fourth army.
...
...
Therefore, Zhang Fei gave them the task of training patrol police.
"Uh...Yanei he..."
Taozi suddenly stuttered.
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Okay, I expected them to be lazy."
Taozi said hurriedly: "The young master is not lazy, but recently many young masters have come to us to ask for the license plate, so..."
Zhang Fei asked: "Where are they?"
"Over there in the stables."
"Okay. I'll go over and take a look myself."
Zhang Fei quietly walked to the stable, hid in the corner, and tilted his head to look, only to see more than a dozen dandies in gorgeous clothes admiring Cao Dongdong's carriage.
To be precise, it is to appreciate the license plate.
"Look at our license plate, eighty-eighty-eight. Look at our engraving craftsmanship. Look at our red paint. It's so majestic. This license plate alone cost us eight hundred strings of cash."
Cao Dongdong said this seriously.
Zhang Fei almost laughed out loud when he heard this. This boy is really a natural salesman and he doesn't even blink when he lies.
The actual price is one hundred strings of cash.
“Is it so expensive?”
"Our beautiful numbers can be divided into high and low levels. My four eights are the top-level beautiful numbers. Ordinary beautiful numbers are not that expensive."
"You know what, it looks different from others."
"Generally, trucks are painted blue, and private carriages are painted green. But only ours is painted red, and you can tell it apart at a glance." Ma Xiaoyi said immediately.
"So red paint is high?"
Cao Dongdong shook his head and said, "That's not the case. The royal family's license plates are all painted in gold."
"Dongdong, do you know what the official's license plate is?"
"No. 0001. And only the royal license plate doesn't use this symbol."
"I see."
"You are all Cao Dongdong's brothers. With our status, why would we bother to fight for those numbers? We must want this beautiful number!"
"That makes sense. If you get a red card and we get a green card, we won't be able to go out with you in the future."
"Okay, let's wait for this beautiful number to come out."
......
Half an hour later.
Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi walked towards the lobby arm in arm.
"Hey, Xiao Ma, Zhang San's idea is really good. Once this beautiful account is sold, we will make tens of thousands of coins."
Cao Dongdong chuckled.
Ma Xiaoyi's eyes turned and he said, "Brother, if we sell just a few pieces every day, we might be able to earn more."
"Yes, yes, that's it, haha!"
"Third brother?"
Ma Xiaoyi suddenly saw Zhang Fei sitting in the lobby, and immediately ran over excitedly, smiling and saying, "Third brother, do you know what we were doing just now?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Selling license plates."
Cao Dongdong, who came in from behind, asked, "How do you know?"
"I saw it all just now."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I didn't expect you two have a talent for business."
Cao Dongdong snorted, "Needless to say, I just don't like studying, otherwise I could easily pass the imperial examination and return home."
Oh! He's still panting. Zhang Fei laughed and said, "There are so many Jinshi nowadays, what's so rare about it?"
Cao Dongdong's eyes lit up, "I like what you said, that's right, there are so many Jinshi, what's so rare about it."
Ma Xiaoyi suddenly asked: "By the way, Third Brother, why are you here?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I came to you because I want to invite you to do something happy."
Cao Dongdong waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I just went to Dedeyue Tower yesterday and I really don't want to go today. Sigh... I just want to eat some vegetarian food recently."
When Zhang Fei heard this, he almost kicked him.
Ma Xiaoyi also said with a lack of interest: "Third brother, you don't know, we have been invited to dinner every day these days, and we are tired of playing, so I brought those brothers here today to discuss the license plate issue."
Ever since the lawsuit, the two of them immediately became popular in the playboy world. People invited them to dinner every day, and they had a life of revelry every night and a lot of things to do every day.
But after **, it is inevitable that there will be some emptiness.
It seems that it is the same in ancient and modern times, in China and abroad, drought kills, flood kills. Zhang Fei looked at the two boys with envy, but said: "Superficial! Who said that the happy thing is to go to Deyue Tower?"
Cao Dongdong asked curiously: "What are you going to do there?"
Zhang Fei whispered, "Of course, to do something exciting, such as blackmail."
Ma Xiaoyi said: "Third brother, this is illegal!"
Zhang Fei said: "I am an informant. I can make illegal things into legal ones, and I can even extort money from the other party."
Cao Dongdong immediately became interested, "Who are you blackmailing?"
Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "I am currently planning to blackmail the Gu family. It was Gu Shaoqing who got me hurt last time. I still remember the grudge, but I don't know if I will have the chance."
In a flash, Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi flashed to Zhang Fei's side, each hugging one arm, looking at Zhang Fei eagerly.
"How?"
They were all present at the time, so they have to remember this.
......
Next to the south gate of Xiangguo Temple is a very famous commercial street called Xiuxiang. As the name suggests, the whole street is full of embroidery.
Many women come here to go shopping under the pretext of burning incense.
Of course, with so many women here, it attracted many young scholars and gentlemen to come here to play.
Opposite Xiu Lane there is a restaurant called Ramadan Tower, which is a place specially for the children of wealthy families to eat vegetarian food.
At this time, three young men were standing in front of the window of the private room on the second floor.
It was Cao Dongdong, Ma Xiaoyi and Zhang Fei.
"Third brother, the shop called 'Spring Breeze Ten Miles' across the street is the Gu family's silk shop."
Ma Xiaoyi pointed to the opposite side and said, "Because that is the Imperial Street, carriages were not allowed to travel on it when the management was strict before, so people usually walked this way when they came out of the south gate of Xiangguo Temple. This corner was originally very spacious and used to be a large area. But later, the Gu family built a shed outside, and then built a house, and then built a shed and a house, and they have occupied almost two meters of land. You see, there is still a shed outside, and it is estimated that they will build a house in the future."
Cao Dongdong looked at Zhang Fei and asked, "Do you think this place is okay? If not, the Gu family has another wine shop on Ma Xing Street, but it also occupies a lot of the street."
Zhang Fei stared at the corner, thinking for a long time, and said, "This is it. There are so many embroidered silks under the shed. I destroyed them all and made him pay for it. Damn, I want Gu Shaoqing to know that what he threw away was not manure, but gold."
Cao Dongdong asked excitedly: "So what are you going to do?"
Zhang Fei frowned and said, "The only problem now is that there are guys guarding the shed. It would be bad if we bump into someone."
Ma Xiaoyi rolled his eyes and said, "This is easy. As long as a few customers come in at the same time, the waiters inside will be too busy, and the waiters outside will have to go in to help. There are so many people here, who would dare to steal."
Zhang Fei gave Ma Xiaoyi an approving look, "You are really smart."
......
Three days later.
Zhang Fei, Ma Xiaoyi and Cao Dongdong visited Xiu Lane again, but this time they came here quietly in an unlicensed carriage and stopped under a big willow tree next to Xiangguo Temple.
Three pairs of cunning eyes were staring at the shop in the distance.
It was morning now, and the streets were crowded with people coming and going.
After a while, a merchant carrying a cloth bag was seen entering the village.
“It’s started! It’s started!”
Ma Xiaoyi in the car said excitedly.
Soon after, another four or five guests went to Chunfengshili.
Sure enough, the guy under the shed was also allowed to enter the store.
The groom, who was feeding the horses under a tree, immediately jumped on board.
Immediately, a horse-drawn carriage carrying goods came towards this side, but the driver was wearing a patrol police uniform.
At the same time, a burst of hurried horse bells rang out from the corner. Although no carriage could be seen, pedestrians could be seen starting to get out of the way.
Zhang Fei clenched his fists excitedly and chanted: "Home run, home run, home run."
Cao Dongdong asked: "What is a home run?"
Zhang Fei said: "Even if it's all right, there won't be a single piece of embroidery left for him."
Immediately, the three of them chanted together: "Home run, home run, home run...!"
As they chanted, the atmosphere in the car became tense.
It happened so quickly that the two carriages met at the corner, and their speed was not slow. Just as they were about to collide, the truck on the right suddenly turned right and crashed directly into the Chunfeng Shili shed.
Before the passers-by on the road could even scream, they saw the carriage overturned under the shed because its wheels were stuck in a small ditch under the shed.
Another miserable scream was heard, followed by a loud crash.
But the exquisitely embroidered silk under the shed was stained by the green paint poured from the carriage.
“All hits!”
The three people in the car shouted in unison.
Zhang Fei patted Cao Dongdong's shoulder excitedly, "This guy's technique is great! The collision was so beautiful."
Cao Dongdong chuckled and said, "Needless to say, this is the patrolman with the most sophisticated driving skills in our police station. Moreover, he has been specially trained for two days, so there is no way he can make a mistake."
......
"Oh! My embroidery! My embroidery!"
The shopkeeper who came out was so frightened when he saw this scene that he started dancing and screaming.
Another cry of "Ouch!" was heard, and a uniformed patrolman stood up from a pile of embroidery. "Ouch! My waist! My paint! My carriage!"
Instead of crying, the shopkeeper rushed forward and grabbed the patrolman, "How do you drive like that?"
The patrolman cried, "It's not my fault. It was that guy's poor driving that almost hit me. I couldn't avoid him, so I crashed into him."
"I don't care."
The shopkeeper said with a grim look, "You destroyed my embroidery anyway, so you have to compensate me for my embroidery. You have to compensate me for my embroidery."
Just as the two were arguing, a carriage slowly passed by, the door curtain slightly opened, and three pairs of eyes lined up were watching everything excitedly.
