Chapter 68

In places like the barracks, entry and exit are so strict that even the merchants who provide goods to the barracks must go through a strict inventory at the specified time before they can enter.

However, Sima Qianlong treats these soldiers very generously on weekdays, and every time he comes over, he will more or less stuff some benefits, so these guard soldiers basically know him, and sometimes even if he doesn't come at the specified time, he will turn a blind eye.

The three of them disguised themselves as coolies and followed behind the truck, and after entering, Chu Luo and Xuan Ye disappeared around a corner.

Sima Qianlong and the others were taken with the wagons to several freight camps on the outskirts of the southern side, which were specially designed to receive foreign merchants like them.

Bai Qi wore a straw hat to cover his face, and carried the goods out of the car with other coolies, while Sima Qianlong took a bag of peanuts and handed it to the soldiers who met them this time.

The soldier was not polite, and took it with a smile: "Oh, I have long heard that Brother Ji is generous, and when I saw it today, it was really ... Someone who knows how to do business....."

Then peel it open and eat it.

"Well, fragrant ....."

Sima Qianlong said with a smile: "The eldest brother thinks it's delicious, and the younger brother will bring more next time." By the way, in the past, it was the black and thin military brother who used to answer me, and today he has other important responsibilities, so let you come? ”

The soldier glanced at him, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Speaking of that kid, it's also bad luck, I heard that it was Ju Gamble to catch Zuo Ling, and he was fined fifty rods according to military law, but as a result, he didn't survive........

"Didn't make it?" Sima Qianlong was stunned: "Dead?" ”

The man shook his head and sighed.

Sima Qianlong's eyes darkened slightly, he was beaten to death like this?

"Who's giving the order?"

"Who else can it be, Gu Shen Lingbei...."

Sima Qianlong narrowed his eyes slightly, sure enough, it was him....

"But once in a while, if you make a small bet, the penalty is so heavy, did everyone have no objection at that time?" Sima Qianlong asked.

Although there is indeed a clause in the military regulations that it is not allowed to gamble, but the life in the military camp is like this all year round, which is extremely boring, so for the occasional gambling of the soldiers, the upper side also turns a blind eye, as long as it does not affect the next day's training, and occasionally, the staff leaders themselves will also play two, which is tacitly understood by everyone.......

The man waved his hand: "Now that the Great Commander is not here, it is Gu Shen Ling who gives the order, who dares..... Anyway, let me tell you, those people up there don't take the lives of our inferior soldiers seriously at all....... Half a month ago, I was hit by a rock, swollen as big as a steamed bun, when I wanted to ask for leave from Zuo Ling, he actually scolded me, saying that this little injury to ask for leave, I just wanted to be lazy, but these days, that Jiang Biaotong is just a little cold, you can nest in the camp tent for several days without showing up, what is this, as far as their bodies are delicate, we will be cheap......"

The more the man spoke, the more angry he became, and finally he smashed the peanut skin on the ground and scolded it.

Sima Qianlong listened to it all the time, and when the man finished scolding, he immediately handed over a bag of pastries.

"Eliminate gas, eliminate gas..... Come on, eat a pastry first, let's not talk about those unhappy things...."

When the soldier saw that there was still something to eat, he would be in a bad mood, so he opened it and picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and then praised with round eyes: "This pastry is glutinous and fragrant, and it tastes really good...."

Sima Qianlong smiled: "This is brought by a relative of mine who just came back from Yaodu, and said that it was made by the best restaurant chef in Yaodu, and I heard that the cook had made imperial meals for the emperor in the palace before..."

"Is this still made by Yaodu's imperial chef?" The soldier was immediately happy, and it was a little blown after this, and Lao Tzu had eaten something made by the imperial kitchen.....

"Yes, maybe the weather has been good recently, there seem to be a lot of people from Yaodu in Nanbin, and nine out of ten people over there are high-ranking officials..."

The soldier suddenly snorted: "Phew, what a dignitary, it's just a better life, born in Yaodu, what's the big deal, I also picked up two to the camp in the morning, one of them spoke that Qinggao, Lao Tzu really wanted to punch him twice......."

Sima Qianlong looked surprised: "I also asked you to pick it up in person, brother, so what's the reason behind this?" ”

"Who knows, after entering the camp, Gu Shen led someone to come and pick up the ....." said that, the soldier stuffed another piece into his mouth, Sima Qianlong originally wanted to ask a few words, but the man raised his hand and patted Sima Qianlong's shoulder, and said: "Brother Ji, you are really a brother worthy of friendship, in the camp, if you need any help from the old brother, just say ......"

Sima Qianlong had no choice but to smile and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's my greatest luck to know my brother...."

The two exchanged praise for a moment, and the soldier said with a regretful face that it would be good if Sima Qianlong had come yesterday, and he would have purchased a batch of fire oil, and if Sima Qianlong came, he would definitely do this business for him.....

Sima Qianlong smiled and said: "I understand my brother's intentions, the quality of your army's fire oil is very demanding, how can we ordinary people provide it?" ”

The man waved his hand: "No, this time I want the most ordinary oil oil, and, because of the urgency, the price is not lowered....." He raised his eyebrows proudly, it seems that he should have made a lot of oil and water there yesterday.

"With such a good thing, then I am.... Hey, I missed an opportunity to make money in vain...."Sima Qianlong said with a look of chagrin.

"Isn't it......"

As he spoke, the man wrapped up the pastry again, stuffed it into his arms, and the pastry made by the imperial chef was to be taken back and tasted slowly, and then began to peel the peanuts again.

"But..... What can you do with ordinary oil oil? Lamp making? Sima Qianlong asked curiously.

"I don't know, if it's really a lamp, then we can probably use those thirty barrels of oil for several years....." the man said with a smile.

After that, the two talked back and forth for a while, until they finished eating the bag of peanuts, Sima Qianlong gave him two more bags, and then he left with a smile.

As soon as the man left, the smile on Sima Qianlong's face immediately receded, and he said to one of the people who brought him: "You immediately go to the prince and tell him that Jiang Ye has estimated that something has happened, and let him come .....over immediately."

The barracks are important, how could Jiang Ye be allowed not to show up in the battalion commander for a few days?

Gu Heng's methods are ruthless, if Jiang Ye's identity has been discovered, he is afraid that he will torture half his life if he is not dead, but now he is only afraid that Chu Luo will come over in person, and he may be able to save him.....

"There's also the oil thing, I always think it's a little weird, anyway, it's right to let him come over first........."

The man nodded, took off the coolie's clothes, and went out cautiously.

Sima Qianlong turned around and found that Bai Qi was missing, and then he remembered the two people Chu Luo told him to find, and scolded secretly, this woman, I'm afraid that I went out to look for it by myself, really, at this juncture, she actually acted without squeaking, and the woman was really troublesome.....

Sima Qianlong asked everyone else to stay where they were and not go anywhere, and he wanted to go out to the thatched house with a stomachache, hoping that she hadn't gone too far........
