Chapter 907: Thief
The official road to the north of Pingyuan County is very long and flat, and willows are planted on both sides of the road.
However, when it is noon, the sun shines directly down from the sky, there is no way to hide, if you want to avoid it in the shade, don't even think about it, this kind of weather is not suitable for travel, especially for guests who go far away, you wear a pair of cloth shoes on the road, after a while even the soles of your shoes feel hot, if you wear straw shoes more carefully, once the skin directly touches the ground, you can burn and jump up all of a sudden.
The madman will go out at this hour, so there is no one on the entire official road at all. Because of the dryness, the trees and crops on both sides of the road also seemed to wilt, and occasionally the wind blew, and the treetops only moved slightly. There were no clouds in the sky, the scorching sun hung in the sky, the scorching sun shone on the ground, and from a distance, waves of steaming, suffocating, and scorching heat reflected the distorted light.
In this weather, someone has to suffer from heat stroke when they catch up with the road for an hour, but in such weather, there are really people on the road. A group of three people, three fast horses, the horses are flying, splashing dust all the way. Immediately, the three of them were three post soldiers, with the post word drawn in a circle on their chests, carrying a letterhead behind their backs, and a small flag on their shoulders, waving whips like rain.
"Huh~~~"
Turning a corner, a melon field suddenly appeared in front of him, a melon shed was set up on the side of the road, and a man wearing a straw hat was sitting under the melon shed to enjoy the coolness, he was wearing a Han coat, his arms were bare, and his arms were tanned. Not far in front of them, under the tree, there were a few small horses, and a small table in the middle, and there was tea on the table. The three postmen were thirsty with smoke in their throats, and when they saw this, they immediately reined in their mounts, turned over and dismounted, and walked over.
"Three officials, do you want to eat tea or buy melons?"
"Both! Pour a bowl of tea first, your throat is almost dry, and then pick a melon. Do you want sand in the well? ”
"Yes, yes, three officials, please sit down first."
The stall owner laughed and invited them to sit under the tree, and it was still a little shady to sit vertically under the tree.
The stall owner first poured them herbal tea, and the three of them grabbed the big bowl and drank it cleanly, and then sat down on the maza.
A postman said, "Oh, I said." Don't worry about it, we'll pour our own tea. Pick a melon, and get some well water and drink horses! ”
"Okay, okay!"
The stall owner was quick to talk, and hurriedly put down the big teapot, turned around and walked into the field, and after a while, he saw him carrying a rope up from the ground and pulling a large wooden tube out of the well water. I fished a watermelon out of it, patted it with my hand, and brought it to the table.
A postman took it, and without waiting for the stall owner to cut it with a knife, he smashed it with a fist, and smashed the ripe watermelon to pieces.
The stall owner didn't immediately go to drink the horses. Instead, he chatted with them with a smile: "The three officials, it's really such a hot day, who still comes out to walk around, the three officials should avoid the noon sun." ”
A postman munched on a watermelon and grumbled indistinctly, "Not really. It's easier for you to make a living than you? Alas! Sometimes I really feel that it is better to be a farmer and enjoy myself. But there is no way, this is what he does, don't say that the sun is too strong, even if he is under the knife, he has to hurry up. We're here for the emperor, you know? The emperor's envoy, who dares to delay. ”
"Oooh oh. Understood, understood! ”
When the stall owner heard this, he was in awe, and the other post man said, "Okay, don't be verbose, go and give the horse a drink." I'll have to keep going for a while! As he spoke, he found a few pennies and slapped them on the table.
The stall owner hurriedly agreed, turned his head and went to lead the horse.
"Huh?"
The postman picked up the watermelon and nibbled on it twice, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, generally doing small business, especially when doing business with the official family, for fear that the other party would not pay, and he paid for the tea and melon, he didn't take it, but ran to drink the horse first?
The postman became alert, and immediately spit out a mouthful of watermelon that had bitten into his mouth, and said, "Don't eat it yet!" I'm afraid there will be fraud! Saying an arrow step out, he went to buckle the stall owner's wrist, the two post guards disagreed, and said with a smile: "I said the fourth, don't be surprised, there are really thieves, who rob us." We all rely on the post station to eat and drink all the way, and we don't have a few pennies on us, who will rob us......"
Speaking of this, he felt that his tongue was a little big, as if he had drunk too much, and he couldn't help but hold the table and hesitate: "It's so weird, how can I ......?"
At this time, the postman who rushed to catch the stall owner had already buckled the stall owner's arm, but the weather was hot, and the stall owner's arm was sweating, and his hands were also sweating. The guard looked at the five white marks on the melon seller's arm that were scratched and exposed, then looked at his palm, and said with a hard tongue: "You...... You're not a melon dealer......"
Before he could say anything, he fell to the ground, and fell asleep, and the two postmen staggered to get up, and when they were halfway up, they sat down and snored on a pile of melon skins.
As soon as the three of them fainted, the stall owner smiled, turned his head and whistled, and two people immediately jumped out of a trench not far from the melon field, and the three of them took off the burden from the fainted postman, opened the bamboo tube, and examined the official letter and the chapter one by one, and turned it over for a long time, and suddenly one person said excitedly: "I found it, this is the thing that Boss Xia wanted!" ”
The other two came up to see that it was the crown prince Zhu Gaochi who attached Song Hu to the song and asked the emperor for his guilt, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "It's done!" ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Towards late afternoon, two more people finally walked on the avenue.
A man and a woman, one left and one right, are attached to the boulevards on both sides.
Separated from each other, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with it, but these two people are actually a couple, the husband's name is Huang Si, the lady's surname is Miao, and the nickname is Rabbit Mushroom.
The little couple walked down the aisle like this, obviously vomiting. Young couples, especially those who have just been married, are really not prone to conflicts, and conflicts are often caused by the poor relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and these two are because of their mother-in-law's temper.
The mother of the rabbit mushroom is not in good health, and the new daughter-in-law has to go back to her parents' house from time to time to take care of her, because she has gone a little more often, and she has to go back to her parents' house today, and her mother-in-law is not happy, and she feels that her daughter-in-law's heart is not here. Thinking about my mother's family all day long, I can't help but say a few words. The daughter-in-law felt aggrieved and told her husband that if the husband followed her wishes and asked her to vent, it would be over, but Huang Si was not happy that the daughter-in-law said that he was his mother, and glared at the bull's eye, but scolded the daughter-in-law.
Probably because it is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, and the education is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Shandong men are particularly filial, among the twenty-four filial pieties in ancient times. Ten of them are from Shandong. You said that everything else is successful, but it is not possible to bully his wife, but the new daughter-in-law of Rabbit Mushroom was beaten by her husband again. Therefore, some people say that a blessed woman should be the mother of a Shandong man, not the daughter-in-law of a Shandong man. But there is something wrong with this, if you don't be the daughter-in-law of a Shandong man, how can you be the mother of a Shandong man?
In fact, although Huang Si scolded his daughter-in-law, he still felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, and he came down all the way. If he rushed over to go with his daughter-in-law, Rabbit Mushroom would hide on the other side, and the two of them would go back to their parents' house so awkwardly.
The rabbit mushroom was walking angrily, when suddenly he screamed "ah", flashed into the middle of the road, and almost fell.
Huang Si was walking on the other side with a flat shoulder carrying the burden. When he saw this, Fei also ran over and asked, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong, are there any worms?" ”
Rabbit Mushroom trembled and pointed behind the tree, and said in a trembling voice: "Someone." There's someone there! ”
When Huang Si heard this, he immediately threw down his burden, pulled out his flat burden, and looked behind the tree vigilantly, only to see three men standing in the shade of the tree in unison, naked, all three men covered the little bird with their hands on their lower bodies, and one of them opened his mouth and didn't know what he was saying.
Huang Siyi saw three hooligans molesting his daughter-in-law. The blood buzzed on his head, and he was angry and angry, and his hair stood on end, and he couldn't help but say, and he rushed up with his flat pole, and a flat pole was pumped on the shoulder of a bare-ass man. scolded loudly: "You shit, dare to tease my daughter-in-law!" ”
The man ignored what he said, turned around and fled, Huang Si pumped his ass again, and the dragon chased after him, beating the three men crying and calling for their mother, running away in embarrassment, and shouting while running: "We are the official family, we are the post soldiers, we are not insulting your daughter-in-law, we just want to ask for clothes to wear......
These three who play naked running are naturally the three post men.
After they woke up, they found that the horses were gone, and the clothes were gone, so they hurriedly checked the most important things: the official letter of the concert in the bamboo tube, and found that the bamboo tube had also been opened, and the baggage cloth wrapped in the bamboo tube was gone, which was not counted, and the official letter of the concert was all thrown out, blown by the wind, and there were no two pieces left in the same place, and after looking for a long time, they only found two pieces of broken paper in a ball in the grass, which had been rubbed by someone, and the others had long been drifted with the wind.
This thief was really ruthless, the three post guards wanted to cry without tears, and were discussing going along the melon field to the village to get clothes, and it happened that Huang Si and his wife arrived.
The three of them were beaten up for a long time, and finally picked up their post guard waist cards from the ground, which made Huang Si believe their identities.
Two or three miles behind the melon field is Miaojia Village, which is the village of Huang's fourth daughter-in-law's mother's family. Huang Si took his daughter-in-law back and reported the matter to the lieutenant chief, who brought a few sets of clothes, and the three post guards were able to see people.
The three post guards only passed on the message, and they also knew what the official letter was about, but now they were all lost, so they had to rush back to the county post house, begged for horses, and went back. Those official letters and recitals are still archived in the Department of General Administration and the inner study, and they can only be re-transcribed and sent to Beijing, but this time and again, I don't know how much effort will be wasted.
After this incident, it was the fulfillment of Huang Si and his wife, Rabbit Mushroom saw her husband's invincible appearance, and felt that her man still loved her very much, and the resentment was gone, and the two were reconciled as before.
However, because of this delay, Emperor Yongle only received an impeachment note from Chen Ying who sent someone to secretly submit "the prince is in charge of the country, has a personal relationship with his relatives, and is unauthorized to issue holy decrees and feudal officials", but he did not receive a few words of explanation from the prince.
Zhu Di endured it for three days, and after three days, he still didn't see any report from the prince, Zhu Di was very angry, but he didn't reprimand him this time, only issued a holy decree: "At the time of the Annan campaign, there was another rebellion in the Western Regions, and the prince was good at writing without force, and it was difficult to be comprehensive." That is, the king of Han was appointed as the supervisor of the country, and he managed the military affairs with the crown prince! ”
In the deep headache, the weather is hot to death, I'll go for a while and ask for a recommendation ticket! (To be continued)
