Seeing that he was the only one coming down, Bai Shan asked in a low voice, "Are you two on duty?"
"Yes, there is one more person up there."
"Then go find Brother Tang and tell him that everything from the inner city gate to here is congested, but someone's child was stolen in the middle, and they are looking for the child now, and the people inside can't get out right now. , but people on the streets in all directions are still coming to the main street," he lowered his voice, "Once someone stumbles and falls..."
The guard trembled, why didn't they go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival but squatted in teahouses and restaurants? Isn't it just to prevent this
He didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Bai, I have to go up and take another look."
"I'll go with you."
The four quickly went up to the third floor, but it was not over. There was a small attic above the third floor. Tang He asked them to stay in the attic. There was a window there that could see most of the street.
The reason why he arranged this is not only to prevent congestion, but also to prevent fires and other accidents.
When Bai Shan entered, he smelled the smell of alcohol, and the yamen servant sitting inside was sitting on a stool, swinging his legs and eating fried beans. When he saw so many people coming in, he stood up in surprise, so he wanted to ask his companion who it was. He recognized Bai Shan in the dim light.
His blood went cold instantly.
The guard who led Bai Shan upstairs laughed repeatedly, but Bai Shan just didn't know it, went straight to the window, turned his head and said to them: "Take a look, brothers."
The two of them, who were still a little uneasy, were relieved by Bai Shan's elder brother's call, and immediately forgot about their absenteeism from drinking and eating meat during their shifts, and immediately went to see it.
Stretching out their heads and looking forward, the two of them saw the densely packed heads, and the occasional scolding sound, the two of them were so frightened that cold sweat gushed out of their backs, "This..."
A yamen servant hurriedly said, "I'm going to evacuate."
"Wait," Bai Shan grabbed him and said, "Just the two of you can't do it. One of you will go to Brother Tang, he will take care of it, and the other will find a way to notify the nearby people to come and help."
Bai Shandao: "You guys should also have an emergency contact method?"
"Yes, beat the gongs and drums!" The guard said, "Look for the nearby guards to play the gongs, and the chief officer to play the drums."
They are divided into levels, and they play gongs for small matters that they can solve by themselves. Only when important matters must be reported to the county magistrate or Jingzhao government will they play drums.
Bai Shan: "Then fight!"
So Officer A ran downstairs, and he was going to run across the Drum Tower three intersections from here. It was an observation tower with drums.
He would have notified the county magistrate through there.
On the other hand, Officer B stretched the gong out of the window and knocked it according to the secret language.
Bai Shan stood at the other side of the window and looked at the increasingly crowded and chaotic crowd on the street. Bai Dalang was also watching, and he said, "We must stop and disperse the people who come here, and let the people inside come in."
Bai Shan looked around on the street, saw the person he was looking for, turned around and was about to go downstairs, he said to Officer B: "Come downstairs in a while."
He went downstairs, picked up the money bag, took out a five tael silver ingot from it, and handed it directly to the shopkeeper, "for copper coins."
The shopkeeper hesitated, "This..."
"Five hangs, another five hundred dollars."
The shopkeeper immediately laughed and said, "The small shop happens to have so many copper coins. I'm afraid you won't be able to get so many coins if you go elsewhere."
He first took the scale and weighed it, and after confirming that it was two full silver ingots, he bent down and opened the cabinet below, took out five hanging coins from inside, opened the drawer again, took out five strings of coins to Bai Shan, and said with a smile: " Lang Jun counts?"
"No."
Bai Shan only stretched out his hand to take a bunch, and the rest Daji asked the shopkeeper for a cloth bag, stuffed it in and held it in his hand.
Bai Shan walked out with a string of money, the passers-by on the road didn't pay attention, but a group of teenagers frolicking across the street couldn't take their eyes off the money in his hand.
Bai Shan walked up to them without slowing down. His hand holding the copper coin didn't move, he just stood in front of them, scanned them around and asked, "I remember a man named Da Shan..."
The oldest boy immediately called out: "Brother Dashan, I know, he is staying with his sister-in-law at home now. Do you want to find Brother Dashan?"
Bai Shan didn't even think that Da Shan was married, he had sought him out when he came to the capital at the beginning of the year to make a name for himself, he said: "He's the best when he's there, it doesn't matter if he's not there, what about Xiao Wu?"
"Fifth Brother? He's on another street now," the young man swallowed while looking at Qian, patted his chest and said to Bai Shan, "Your Majesty can tell us anything, we can all run errands."
Bai Shan looked critically at him, and the seven or eight boys behind him ranging from eight to twelve or thirteen years old.
They immediately straightened their backs and raised their chests a lot, trying to pretend that they were strong.
Bai Shan reluctantly said: "Okay, you can send two people to the cloth shop to buy red cloth strips, and let the store cut them out. The ones that are this wide and this long are fine. You need... twenty strips. Let a few more people Go and move two tables or benches and put them in front of this intersection."
He handed over the sling of money in his hand to the young man, and said, "Quickly, half an hour is fine, right?"
The boy immediately took it, opened the rope, and pulled out more than twenty texts. Without reading it, he stuffed it directly into the hand of a boy behind him, raised his chin and said, "Go!"
The young man ran forward as fast as he could, very nimble, and disappeared when he turned left and right.
The young man in the lead tied up the money again, stuffing it all in the clothes on his chest, which looked bulging and heavy, but he didn't care at all, and asked, "What does the young master want us to do?"
"Stop people," Bai Shan said, "Stop people coming from this street and those two streets. They can go backwards or to both sides, but they are not allowed to go forward."
The young man's face froze, "This... is it all blocked?"
"Yes," Bai Shan turned around and took the cloth bag from Daji, weighed it to make the copper coins inside make a pleasant sound, and said, "You guys have done a good job, and these will all belong to you after it's done."
The sound of copper coins is really nice, especially when so many copper coins collide together, the young man stared at the cloth bag in his hand and couldn't move his eyes. He swallowed sharply and wanted to agree, but he still shook his head with difficulty, " No, we can't stop so many people, and the officials know about it, so we can't afford to go around."
As soon as the words fell, the servant B upstairs who had already knocked the gong three times ran down, and came directly towards Bai Shan, "Mr. Bai, the little one has already knocked the gong, and they will be here soon."
The boy opened his mouth wide, looked at the guards, then at Bai Shan, and immediately said: "Don't worry, young master, leave this matter to us, and we will definitely take care of it for you."
