The Wangjiang Tower was filled with an atmosphere of panic and anxiety.

After the meal, Zhen Feng asked Zidie to arrange for the children to train the music on their own, and discussed with their aunts Wu, Zhantang, Martin, Zhang Qu, Zidie, An Sofa, and Zhang Yuanlai behind closed doors. When Zhen Feng just said that he was going to travel far tomorrow morning, the whole atmosphere was wrong. Since Zhen Feng took over Wangjiang Tower, he is the pillar of the building, and it is the critical moment of Wangjiang Tower's life and death, Zhen Feng suddenly traveled far away to reward the officials who performed well in the inspection, and he didn't know the return date, how could he not be anxious?

"Brother Qu, I don't have time to explain too much, this is an order from the imperial court. After I leave, you have to hold up the Wangjiang Tower, as long as you do what you said before, don't be aggressive, don't be timid, and be cautious, it's no problem. If there is something urgent or unsolvable, you take this wooden card to Xu Gongfu to find Xu Gong or Xu Fuji, the housekeeper of Xu Gongfu, they will help, and usually send some wine and food to the door if you have nothing to do, so as to get closer to your feelings. ”

Zhen Feng took out the wooden card and handed it to Zhang Qu, Zhang Qu hesitated, his hand trembled slightly, but he still took it. Taking over this wooden card means taking over the fate of Wangjiang Tower, how not to be heavy. Zhen Feng handed over this matter to himself, in fact, he also made himself related to the Duke of Xu's Mansion, and even greatly benefited his future development, which is a great trust and support, which poor student can directly communicate with the prime minister, duke, and relatives of the emperor?

"Brother True, in the future, you will be the acting shopkeeper of Wangjiang Tower, and you will be the master. If you have free time, teach your children how to read and write. ”

Zhang Qu's eyes were moist, he bit his lip and nodded heavily, not saying a word, no words could express his promise. In fact, Zhen Feng didn't deliberately have this idea, but he was the only one who was trustworthy, flexible, and knowledgeable in Wangjiang Tower.

"Shopkeeper, are you going to Qingjiang County?" Ancouch is not stupid, I just talked about Qingjiang County and the forbidden land for so long in the afternoon, and I have to travel far the next day, and I can guess that Qingjiang County is one of Zhen Feng's destinations. After receiving Zhen Feng's affirmative reply, An Shu said: "Shopkeeper, the old man is familiar there, why don't you bring the old man, maybe you can help." ”

"Uncle An, your body has just recovered, and there are not enough people here, so don't travel thousands of miles."

In fact, the old man was a little selfish and wanted to borrow the shopkeeper's carriage and horse to go back. Before his wife died, the old man promised her that he would bring her bones back to his hometown for peace, but now he is still in the Yizhuang on the outskirts of Xuanzhou City. With that, Antao knelt down and kowtowed heavily.

The others also cast sympathetic glances and hopes, and Wu helped the couch up and said a few kind words. Zhen Feng had no choice but to agree. Unexpectedly, Antao knelt down again.

After some things were arranged, Zhen Feng left Martin alone, because Zhen Feng also wanted to take Martin, and only Martin knew that there must be something to arrange for him. He asked Martin to bring two jars of ten-pound wine to the Flower Building, and then he would come back eighty times. The caliber is that Zhen Feng trusts him, so he wants to take him out to be a cook. As for the specific matter of the journey, he said that he did not know. Then go to Jiangqing Pavilion to say hello to He's mother, so that she can rest assured that she is ready to come and pull wine and money.

Everything was in order, and early the next morning, I landed and rode a horse, followed by a carriage to the gate of Wangjiang Tower. Martin drove the coachman down, and he became the coachman himself. Just about to set off, Zhang Yuanlai also got into the car, because he also wanted to take the opportunity to go back to Longhu Mountain.

At this moment, Zhen Feng found a space to land with him: "Brother Deng, let's go to Xuanzhou first, it's hard to work." ”

Out of the south gate of Jiangning City, all the way south. Zhen Feng lifted the curtain and looked north, Jiangning City gradually drifted away, and gradually turned into a solid stone city. In the past, the understanding of the city was "only in this mountain, and the clouds do not know where to go", and now, he finally got a glimpse of the whole picture.

Jiangning is the political, economic and cultural center of southern China, and even once it was the largest and most populous city in China and the largest city in the world. Its fate has had its ups and downs, but it has never left the center stage of history. It's a pity that in another five years, this place will be silent for hundreds of years.

To the south, all the way is a wide plain, the official road is smooth, the mountains and mausoleums that occasionally pass by are round and jade, and the rivers are tender, as if they are designed to embellish the poetry and painting of this world. Only when you arrive in Xuanzhou, to the south is the hilly terrain. At that time, Uncle Antao encountered robbers in the hilly area, so that his wealth was scattered and people died. Along the way, there were occasional caravans of horses whizzing by, seemingly outpacing them.

At noon, the group rested under a big tree on the side of the road and ate some dry food. In fact, there is a post station on the road, but Zhen Feng asked to hurry as soon as possible, and not to delay if he did not go to the post station, even if it was a cup of tea. landed to find Zhen Feng and walked to the nearby stream, they had never really met, and Zhen Feng deliberately left it empty.

"Shopkeeper Zhen, the official family ordered me to inspect the reputation of the official, but in fact, I tried my best to assist you, but so far, I haven't known what this trip is? Please also advise. ”

With such a title and self-title, Zhen Feng can smell a strong businesslike atmosphere. Naturally, the class difference between the two is very big, in the eyes of the landing, these people are just businessmen and ordinary people, not even rich businessmen, and they will not look at them when they land on weekdays, but now they have to obey a businessman younger than themselves, and they are also angry in their hearts. Because of this, there was unaccustomed and friction between the two on the first day.

So Zhen Feng said teasingly: "Brother Deng, what if I told you that we went to Xuanzhou to transport a coffin from Yizhuang on the outskirts of the city, and then left?" ”

"Shopkeeper Zhen, are you kidding?"

"I'm not kidding, this coffin is the person of Uncle Anta, who accompanied me. Uncle An is a native of Qingjiang County, forced by life to go to Beijing to make a living, encountered robbers on the way, Aunt An was frightened and died of a serious illness, they were penniless, and had to be mortuary. This time, our end point is Qingjiang County, so it is reasonable to transport Aunt An's bones back. ”

"Ridiculous! The official family has an order, and it must be a state affair to let someone fully cooperate with you to do important things, how can it be delayed like this? ”

"It's also important. If it weren't for Uncle An, maybe I wouldn't have any clues to help the official family for the time being. So Uncle An's business is my business. Moreover, what we have to do is to let fewer people fall into the grass in the future, so that fewer people will be displaced, so the life and death of every person is very important. ”

"You have a point, but I don't know what this trip is for. How can it be related to a flat-headed common people? ”

Zhen Feng felt that as a general, a general of the emperor's personal guard, he was arrogant in his bones and knew the emperor in his heart. And his master is a person who is pure and filial by nature, and he is willing to live and abstain from killing, he is merciful and lenient in his government, and every time there is a death penalty, he does not cry.

He briefly talked about going to Qingjiang County to extract salt from rock salt, and every inch of skin and every pore on his face was expressing strong doubts, as if it was nothing more than a fantasy.

"Shopkeeper Zhen, have you heard the story of Fang Shi Xu Fu asking for immortal medicine for Qin Shi Huang's eastward journey."

Zhen Feng heard the warning of the landing, don't be like Xu Fu to deceive the emperor in the name of asking for immortal medicine, otherwise he will either flee overseas or his life will not be guaranteed. This misunderstanding is more upscale, and Xu Fu's deception is compared to his own behavior.

"Brother Deng, what you think is impossible, it's just that your knowledge field hasn't reached there yet. We have been poor all our lives, and we have been poor for thousands of years, aren't we constantly exploring the unknown? And you, soon, will witness miracles. ”
