226: Lost His Son and Lost His Grain (2)
The grain team transporting grain was very large, and there were more than 200 soldiers dressed as officers on both sides, each of whom held a cold and flashing spear in his hand. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The man who carried the grain was so tired that he was covered in sweat, his face had turned red, and his clothes had already been wet with sweat.
When I saw a tea shop next to the post station in front of me, I was overjoyed.
"Master Jun, the big guy has been transporting grain for so long, and he is also tired, why don't you rest in front for a while before you go on the road?"
The leader of the gang stepped forward with a smile and communicated with the leader of the soldiers guarding the food.
They are all flesh and blood, and they are not made of steel, and so much food is transported from Mengjun to here in a hurry, and the men are physically and mentally tired, but these soldiers on horseback are still blind and blind, and whoever walks slowly is a whip.
Fortunately, Hejian County is already close at hand, and it will be half a day's journey away.
Otherwise, if you continue like this, sooner or later someone will be exhausted to death.
The leader of the soldiers who was responsible for escorting the food was the servant who had been deliberately spared by Jiang Pengji before.
After receiving the task of escorting the grain, he squeezed the physical strength of the grain transporters all the time, urging them to hurry day and night, hoping to rescue Meng Ying as soon as possible...... Seeing the day passing, he became more and more uneasy in his heart, and always felt that the delay would change, and with the eagerness to seek merit, he naturally could not see the tiredness on the face of the grain carrier.
Even if he saw it, he wouldn't care.
Just a few guys, can they be compared with Meng's Erlangjun?
If something happens to Meng Yi because these people are slow, who will be responsible at that time?
However, now that he was only half a day's journey away from Hejian County, the anxiety in his heart had eased a lot, and he also felt a little tired, so he simply followed the words of the leader of the gang and waved his hand, so that the entire grain team could rest for half an hour.
Receiving the answer, the leader of the gang hurriedly shouted to the man at the back of the team.
"It's all neat hands and feet, there is a tea shop in front, go there to rest first, and drink a bowl of tea. ”
When everyone heard this, the momentum came instantly, and the long grain queue was like a wriggling worm, slowly moving closer to the tea shop.
The tea shop here often receives caravans from the south to the north, and the big scene has also been seen.
The proprietress hurriedly put on a smiling face and beckoned a few soldiers who had entered the tea shop, while the other soldiers found a random place to sit outside.
Jiang Pengji saw that the proprietress was busy, and got up in the eyes of the ghost, with a kind and honest smile on her face.
"Hostess, why don't I help you...... Hey, I'm in a hurry to go out, and I forgot to bring copper. ”
The proprietress glanced her up and down, smiled, and looked very enthusiastic, "It's just that I'm busy here, go and bring a few bowls of tea to the military master outside...... Do it well, if you are clumsy, you will have to double the compensation......"
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, I go to the ground every day at home, and my hands and feet are numb." ”
If you change to a slightly meaner one, it is estimated that it will be time to settle the account, and you can't even afford to drink a penny of tea, so why are you running here?
However, Jiang Pengji can see at a glance that although this proprietress has a mean face, she is a knife mouth, a tofu heart, and she is very warm and thoughtful. Sometimes the traveler has no money to pay for the tea, and she will be generous to waive it.
In case of cold weather, they will even cook ginger soup to ward off the cold.
The official was dumbfounded, watching Jiang Pengji carry a plate of large bowls of tea out of the tea shop, easily blending into the grain team, in the name of delivering tea, secretly observing the things on the grain truck, with a warm smile on his face, it was like a different person.
This...... Or is it the son of Liu Junshou he knows-Liu Xi?
said that she was a wild boy from a farmer's family, and some people believed it?
Here, the official opened his eyes, but Jiang Pengji on the other side gained a lot.
Relying on the opportunity to deliver a large bowl of tea, she seemed to complain and chat, and slowly extracted important information from the mouths of several guys.
Of course, the men who leaked their words didn't realize this, after all, they were accompanied by soldiers escorting food.
"Hey, I said you're a wild doll, what are you doing with so much curiosity?" A soldier raised his head and poured a bowl of tea, but at the end he still felt a little thirsty, so he asked Jiang Pengji to send him another bowl, "Bring another bowl to the master, I'm so thirsty......"
Another soldier smiled and said, "Haven't you never seen the world, people are curious and don't care." ”
Anyway, I didn't ask any important questions, and I answered them.
Jiang Pengji responded with kindness, "Two bowls of tea, two of you wait." ”
Qi Guanrang looked at Jiang Pengji's figure and was busy everywhere quickly, if he didn't know that this person had other purposes, maybe he would have misunderstood...... However, in order to obtain intelligence information, a noble son of a scholar clan can do this, and he has fought hard.
He smiled dumbly, and after half an hour, Jiang Pengji, who had not stopped for a while, had a chance to sit down, and the grain team had already set off again.
"You're a ...... Why bother......" said the official with tears and laughter.
"If you don't do that, it's hard to get close. Jiang Pengji has been busy for so long, and her mouth is a little dry, and she feels cooler after drinking a bowl of tea, she whispered to Qi Guanrang, "There is no problem with the grain team's food, and it is not two thousand stones, but more than three thousand stones...... They won't be able to laugh in two days. ”
The official raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "I only saw that you were busy coming and going, busy talking to people, and you never really approached the grain truck guarded by the soldiers, how can you know that there is no problem with the grain...... I don't even know the exact number......"
Jiang Pengji said, "This is not simple, look at the depth of the wheel, the same bag of rice grain and sediment, the weight is not the same." I also went to the words of those guys, and I can roughly calculate the total amount of food in their grain team......"
Don't look at Jiang Pengji's busy comings and goings, in fact, she is multitasking.
She added in a low voice, "Of course, I took the opportunity to approach the grain team, not to see the grain ......"
The official made the fox suspicious for a moment, approaching the grain team, isn't the main purpose to see the grain?
What's that for?
His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he began to recall Jiang Pengji's actions during this time, hoping to guess her true intentions.
"Don't keep thinking about it, I'm here to send something over. If you don't take this opportunity to send it, it will be inconvenient to do it at other times, and it will be easy to arouse suspicion......" Jiang Pengji drank tea with a smile, looking comfortable, like a fox who has succeeded in his scheme.
Send the same...... (To be continued.) )
