C3565 elephant nose pit (1/2)

On the north side of Salonga's house, there was not only a Fire Temple, there was also a place called elephant nose pit.

Xiao Letian would definitely be confused if he knew of this place, because in his many years of living in Beijing, he had never heard of this place.

One must know that this is a very bustling place near the East Peak, how could there be such a strange place name?

In fact, it was normal that Xiao Letian did not know it. In his previous life, only a portion of the true people in Beijing would be familiar with this name.

This place was actually within the boundaries of Spring Rain's Lane and Spring Rain's Lane in the Eastern Region. This was a place that had been abolished long ago by the modern man.

elephant nose pit is a weird name! However, this name was very accurate, because in ancient times, elephants were really kept here!

When he was in power, he had to bring a few elephants from the south to celebrate his birthday every year, and this elephant nose pit was the place where he bathed and cooled the elephants.

At that time, there were many ponds and reeds in the city, which were completely different from the high-rise buildings of the 21st century.

elephant nose pit was a huge pond filled with reeds. In the summer, the scenery here was very beautiful!

After the dryad passed away, the Qing Empire's national power gradually weakened, and the number of elephants transported from the south decreased, so this elephant nose pit was no longer as real as it was now.

Without the administration of the government, the people began to plunder the water, and over the long period of time the land was filled and built. The huge pond was divided into three parts, and that was the origin of the names before, during, and after the pits.

Right now, the elephant nose pit had already been divided into three ponds by the alleyway and the house. As time went on, this place would probably be completely filled up and buried.

When he thought about the topography of elephant nose pit, Li Tuo understood that Salonga would definitely not be able to escape in a hurry. With such a large patch of reeds on the elephant nose pit, it was definitely a good place to hide people.

Following Li Tuo's orders, Isha led the soldiers of the minister of nine city gates to flank the man. Some of the soldiers even flipped over the wall of the backyard and directly jumped to the edge of the hole in front of the elephant's nose.

”Ignition lever...” Carefully searching … Lock onto Salonga... ”

”Wrapping... Wrapping... Quick, quick... Every alley is blocked... ”

”Salonga... You can come out now … I can't hide anymore … ”Hurry up and come out …”

”Come out... ”If you don't come out soon, we'll start a fire …”

The reeds pond in late autumn had long since turned yellow. Even the Fire God couldn't escape if he set fire to it … He searched from the back of the pit all the way to the middle of the pit, finally arriving at the front pit.

All of the commoners within several kilometers were shocked awake, even the northern Head Office could faintly hear the chaos occurring here.

”Look …” Found... ”Is that black shadow a person …”

The crowd immediately became excited, Isha took the lead and rushed forward, dragging out a dead dog-like black man from the mud at the edge of the pit.

Salonga who was hiding in the mud of the reeds was finally arrested!

Li Tuo looked at the lump of smelly black mud on the ground in front of him, and hurriedly pinched his nose with his hands in disgust, ”Change him into a new set of clothes …” Ouch … ”No matter what, this is a relationship between subjects of the same hall, don't freeze to death …”

There was no need to think about bathing. A few bailiffs casually picked up a pair of tattered cotton-padded jacket and pants and put them on since they didn't know that it was the clothes of the servant from Salonga's family.
