Chapter 570: Official Authority
In the side tent, there were several sergeants, and the one sitting in front of the case in the middle was obviously You Shilu. Although he was not tall, he was born with long hair, his face was slightly dark, he wore a dark blue short placket robe, big red arrow sleeves, black cowhide boots, and he was dressed as a military general, with a long sword hanging on his belt, and he looked even more dignified and majestic.
When Hua Bushi and the others walked into the tent, this General Soldier You was looking at the customs clearance documents in his hand with his head down, as if he hadn't seen the three of them.
Hua Bushi hugged his fists and said: "In the Xiaxiang Realm, the 'Evil Dog Gate' Hua Bushi, see General You!"
On this trip to Yujing, he changed his name to Shi Xiao in order to hide people's eyes, but this customs clearance document was originally issued by the Yamen of Changsha Prefect, which stated that the reason for entrusting the "Evil Dog Gate" of Wuyang City to transport official food was that he came here, and there was no need to hide his identity.
You Shilu, who was sitting at the table, still didn't raise his eyelids, but a soldier next to him shouted: "Bold grass people, don't kneel down when you see our chief soldier!"
The general of the fifth grade is not a small official, and according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the people should indeed kneel down and salute when they see the officials.
It's just that the Jianghu sect is not an ordinary grass people, and they are often the wealthy gentry who dominate one side, and many sects even surpass the government in the local Shili. If it weren't for the official court, the general Baidao sect leaders would only perform the so-called Jianghu salute when they saw the court officials, and did not kneel down to worship, which is also a well-known unwritten rule.
The soldier shouted to the three of them to kneel, apparently to give them a dismount.
Hua Bushi was silent, but the Ximen Tong behind him had a cold gaze and glared at him.
The soldier wanted to continue shouting, but he saw a sharp sword-like gaze shooting at him, with a chilling murderous intent, so frightened that he shivered a few times, and swallowed the words he was about to shout back into his stomach.
A person like Ximen Hitomi, who has practiced superior martial arts, once he shows his killing intent, it is easy to deter an ordinary soldier.
Although You Shilu, who was sitting in front of the table, did not raise his head, the situation in the tent was already in his eyes, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
Hua Bushi smiled and said: "I have traveled all over the south of the Yangtze River, and there are not a few good horses I have seen, but I have never seen the red horse-like horse-like horse-like strong mount in front of the slot outside the tent! Coming here today is really an eye-opener, even if the red rabbit BMW ridden by Guan Gong in the Three Kingdoms of the Later Han Dynasty, it is nothing more than that!"
This eldest young master is very good at observing faces, and his eloquence is quite good, and he came to meet You Shilu on this trip, just to ask him to be a little accommodating and let the exiles who fled the famine enter the Yu realm, and he really did not want to clash with the officials and soldiers. Seeing that the atmosphere in the tent was tense, this You Shilu was about to have a seizure, so he opened his mouth to praise the red horse outside the door in an attempt to ease the atmosphere.
The saddle bridle that the red horse is equipped with is obviously the beloved thing of this general soldier, and Hua Bushi can also see it. And for a horse lover, complimenting him on a good horse often pleases him more than he praises himself.
After listening to Hua Bushi's words, You Shilu's face really looked a lot better, and he said: "The people in the Jianghu sect have some vision, this horse is a mount given by the emperor to the general, called the Snow Treading Red Dragon Horse, which can be seen from unusual places. ”
Hua Bushi said with envy: "It turned out to be a BMW given by the emperor, no wonder it is so extraordinary!"
Mr. You showed a smug look on his face, "snapped", put the customs clearance document in his hand on the table, and said: "You have a document disk, you can use it to clear the bridge and cross the bridge, what else is there to find the general?"
Miao Youwu stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Tell the chief soldier, here's the thing. Our food dart team went halfway, met some old friends, only because of the drought in his hometown to go to Yujing to make a living, Master Hua relented for a while and agreed to take them together, who knew that the victims on the road gathered more and more, now there are nearly 1,000 people following behind the dart team, God has the virtue of a good life, we want to ......"
Before Miao Youwu finished speaking, You Shilu had already waved his palm and interrupted: "This will be ordered by Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Ming Xuan, to lead the soldiers and horses of Nanyang Mansion to garrison here. Wouldn't it be a dereliction of duty for you to take these many homeless people across the bridge with you?"
Miao Youwu said with a smile: "General You is too serious, these homeless people are some old and weak women and children, but they just want to make a living in Yujing, how can they go to the thieves?
As he spoke, he glanced at Hua Bushi.
Hua Bushi also understood himself, and smiled leisurely: "Although Lord You's Snow Walking Red Dragon Horse is a unique BMW in the world, the saddle used is too ordinary, I'm afraid it can't be matched!"
In fact, although the red horse is a divine horse, the saddle it is also a gift from the emperor, and the gold and silver inlays are extremely luxurious, Hua Bushi said this, but You Shilu couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Hua Bushi didn't answer, and with a turn of his wrist, there was already a folding fan in his palm, which opened with a "snap". The entire tent lit up instantly, but I saw an egg-sized orb on the fan.
"Night Pearl!" You Shilu's two eyes opened wide, and they also shone like jewels.
Hua Bushi said: "This night pearl was accidentally obtained on an island in the South China Sea before the second half of the year, the so-called jewel with a BMW, General You's saddle with the red dragon horse with this bead, it must be a tight match!"
The night pearl is a rare thing, most of the ordinary night pearls are only the size of a fingernail, but the pearl that Hua Bushi took out is as big as an egg, and the color is round, if the value will be more than a thousand taels of silver. And even if you have silver, it's not easy to buy such a treasure.
The expression on You Shilu's face suddenly became much kinder, and he grinned: "Young Master Hua is really a caring person, he actually knows that there is a treasure bead missing from the saddle of this general, haha, those homeless people are just a trivial matter......"
He stretched out his hand to take the night pearl on the paper fan, but before his fingers could touch it, he suddenly stopped, and his eyes stared at the line of words mentioned on the paper fan, but his face changed.
What is written on the fan surface is the four cursive scripts of "East Linjie Stone", and there is a "Cao" character below.
This paper fan is the one given by Cao Duyun in the "Happy Island" casino in Changsha City that day, and these words on the fan are Cao Duyun's uncle, Cao Huachun, the current factory commander of the East Factory. This fan is not often used, but this time I came to Yujing and brought it with me.
You Shilu's hand stretched out to the night pearl had been retracted, his eyes narrowed, but his expression was instantly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Young Master Hua took out this pearl, but do you want to bribe the general?"
Hua Bushi was stunned in his heart, he didn't understand why the expression of this General You soldier changed so quickly, and he said: "How dare you, take out this pearl below, I just want to invite General You to enjoy and appreciate it, and there is no intention of bribery." ”
You Shilu said: "I was ordered to guard the port, I am on official business, and I have no time to play, so Master Hua will take back the beads!"
His face was gloomy and his tone was stiff, as if he had changed from the greedy appearance he had when he had just seen the Night Pearl.
Miao Youwu said: "The thing about the homeless people crossing the bridge ......"
You Shilu sneered: "The Governor of Ming Xuan has already issued an order not to allow the displaced people of the Hubei Realm to enter the Yu Realm, how can the general know that he will not obey the order." If you take a homeless person across the bridge, you will not be welcome!"
He slapped the table, stood up, and shouted: "Pass my order! Cut off all the more than 20 homeless people who were caught secretly crossing the river a few days ago, and hang their bodies by the river, as an example!"
Suddenly, a soldier left in response.
It's not for some reason, this You Shilu's face changed faster than turning a book, and the order to kill people was obviously an intentional act of killing chickens and monkeys. Ximen Tong's phoenix eyes were sharp, his hands were already clenched into fists, and he was about to step forward, but he was pulled by Hua Bushi.
"I really didn't have any malice when I came here today, didn't General You have a misunderstanding?"
You Shilu snorted coldly and said, "I will be on official duty, what misunderstanding can I talk about! Someone, send these three people out of the camp!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ half an hour later, Hua Bushi had returned to Qiaonan.
Although he knew that there must be some reason why You Shilu suddenly turned his face, Hua Bushi tried to explain, but the general soldier You ignored it completely, and even more ruthlessly, almost blasting the three of them out of the camp. And that pearl of the night can no longer be sent.
At this time, it was getting late, and Hua Bushi ordered to camp on the spot and wait until tomorrow to cross the bridge.
At night, the bonfire was lit, the tent had been erected, and more than 20 dart carts were in a circle, while the disciples of the Perak camp and the executioners of the dart company were on guard. The rest of the population had to sleep in the woods, but fortunately it was July and the climate was hot, so sleeping in the wild was not a problem.
Hua Bushi sat cross-legged in front of the bonfire, Yang Jiangyi and Miao Youwu were still sitting next to him, and Ximen Tong and Li Hu were standing aside.
"Boss, if you want me to see, we might as well rush over and smash the camp surnamed You to pieces!" Li Hu pouted and said loudly.
"There are only 500 men in the You Shilu camp, and it should be no problem for the Perak camp to take them," it was Simon Hitomi who spoke, "but it is not appropriate for us to be enemies with the officers and soldiers now." ”
"What's wrong!" Li Hu said, "You are just too cowardly, if I had accompanied the boss before, I would have killed the dog official surnamed You with a sword, and now we have all crossed the bridge!"
Li Hu has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, and he has no good impression of the government.
Hearing the words of this murderer, Miao Youwu's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "The official army can't be killed! Young Master Hua, I don't think we have any other way now, so we have to leave those homeless people behind!"
