"You are ......" Liang Mancang was stunned for a moment and hesitated.

"Hey, I forgot to introduce, my name is Xiao Geng, like the four of them, they are all from Cuiping Town, this is Zhang Min and Wang Rui, those two are Wei Jun and Zhou You, we are the Tiger Battalion of the Mujia Army that entered the year ago." Xiao Geng enthusiastically introduced Liang Mancang.

The other four people gathered around with a smile, seeing that they were all older than Liang Mancang, they looked at him eagerly, and firmly believed that he was heroic in crossing life and death on the battlefield, and the blood that had never been extinguished in his bones had already been branded with a similar brand, even if they didn't know each other, but an explosive action, a sharp look, were all code words for them to recognize.

"Hello five brothers, I am Liang Mancang of the Flying Eagle Battalion, and I am from Gujiaao." A relieved smile appeared on Liang Mancang's face and bowed.

"As soon as I saw your posture, I knew that you were from the Mu family's army, and at least you were a captain, today, how can you ......" Xiao Geng swallowed the second half of the sentence back in time, and didn't say anything, only beat him lightly on the chest, which is an intimacy between soldiers.

"It's a long story, I have to meet a few brothers to help me today, it's a happy thing, those are not happy, don't say it, wait for me to sell mountain goods, and have a drink with your brothers." Liang Mancang was calm, he turned around to look for pheasants and hares, but saw that they were all holding on to Gu Daya's hands.

"Now that you have arrived in Cuiping Town, why do you need to spend money, since your brothers invite you, this girl came with you, let's go together." Xiao Geng boldly hugged Liang Mancang's shoulder and laughed.

Liang Mancang did not postpone, a group of seven people left the vegetable market, at this time it was time to eat, Xiao Geng took everyone into a small restaurant on the side of the road, they probably come often, the elderly shopkeeper saw him, and greeted him familiarly: "Master Xiao, is it still the same as the third child today?" ”

"There are brothers here today, you pick up good wine and good food, and bring it up!" Xiao Geng waved his hand indifferently.

"Yes...... But your last account, ...... Also ......" The shopkeeper seemed to be very afraid, and followed behind, and said cowardly.

"How do you speak, I'm also an official in the yamen, I said a long time ago, I'll give you a fortune, are you still afraid that I won't be able to escape?" Xiao Geng slapped him with an eye knife and said dissatisfied.

"What you say is true, but I'm afraid that this little shop can't wait...... Can't wait for ......" The shopkeeper replied with the courage to reply half a sentence, he was both timid and embarrassed, rubbing his hands, and muttering helplessly.

"You just want to touch my big brother's head today, don't you? What about itchy skin?! Zhang Min and Wang Rui only felt that they had lost face in front of Liang Mancang, who met for the first time, and they couldn't help but be a little annoyed, so they rolled up their sleeves when they turned around.

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he retreated again and again.

"Brothers, don't worry, wait for me." Liang Mancang grabbed the two people who were about to make a move, turned his head and said to the shopkeeper kindly, "Do you think this is good, I have two pheasants and a hare here, please make a pot of pheasants and hares, and give you another pheasant, you can just give some soju and vegetables, do you think this is good?" ”

The shopkeeper saw that Liang Mancang spoke politely, and felt that they brought their own ingredients, and the restaurant only cost some firewood, oil, and salt, but it was not much short, and there was still a live pheasant to offset the account, besides, doing business on this street, it was necessary to deal with them every day, and it was better not to be too offended, he thought again and again in his heart, and finally nodded and agreed.

The big girl followed the shopkeeper to the kitchen to deliver the game, and by the way scooped water by the well to clean the wounds on her hands, the shopkeeper was a kind-hearted old man, seeing that her hands were full of injuries, he gave her some ordinary wound medicine to wipe them, and the knives in the kitchen were fast and hot, and it was inevitable to get injuries, and he was always ready.

Xiao Geng chose a private room, the six of them humbly conceded, and sat down one by one, after a while, the eldest girl came back, she came with Liang Mancang, naturally sat next to him, and the others only regarded it as his sister, and was very polite to her, and caught all the melon seeds and peanuts on the table for her to eat.

"A few of us have only been back for three or five days, and an errand has been arranged from above, and outsiders look bright and decent, but they are pitiful, and it is not enough to invite my brother to dinner, so I laughed!" Several people talked about the things in the barracks, and talked about the current situation, Xiao Geng couldn't help but sigh.

"Errand in the yamen, it's always like this, you can't hold on to starvation, yesterday, our village chief told me about you, and he was very envious of your errands." The man sent a teapot and a few teacups, and Liang Mancang poured a cup for each of them, this tea was boiled at the end of the autumn tea of the next year, the tea soup was turbid, and the taste was very bitter.

"Speaking of which, it's strange, we're just soldiers who haven't mixed up, we can still mix food and clothing, Brother Mancang looks at the skills are not simple, what's going on with you?" Zhang Min couldn't help but revisit the old words.

"Hey, it's just for my brother Liang Mandou...... Liang Mancang took a sip of tea and said frankly.

"Liang Mandou? The sharpshooter of the Eagle Battalion is your brother? Zhang Min and Wang Rui's eyes widened and asked in unison.

"Ah, when I heard your name, I still muttered in my heart, but I didn't dare to ask." Wei Jun smiled and reached out to pat Liang Mancang's shoulder.

"You plead for your brother, the matter of losing military merits has already spread all over the barracks, we are soft-spoken, and we can't speak, but we don't believe that your brother will betray, but unfortunately the people who went with you are dead, this matter has become a headless case, and it can't be washed by jumping into the Yellow River!" Zhou You shook his head regretfully and said.

"I seem to have heard that there was a person who survived by luck and was rewarded with an official position, but I don't know who it is, otherwise I can ask him." Xiao Geng touched his cyan chin and said thoughtfully.

"This matter has been decided a long time ago, since this person has been rewarded with an official and a half-position, he naturally will not easily offend me, besides, where is this person, what is his character, we don't know, how can I ask to come to the door?" Liang Mancang shook his head a little pessimistically.

"It's hard to say, it's hard to have a chance to be a flat-headed commoner, if you are on an errand in the public gate, there will always be more news, and our brothers will pay more attention to you in the future, but we are in the countryside, even if we read the newspaper, it is a few days late.

You are skilled, if you can enter the official office of Nancang County or Ningjiang City with your ability, you can really have a clue about whether this matter is even good, and you may be able to meet some powerful people in the future, and it is not impossible to ask someone to re-investigate the old case at that time. This was provoked by Zhang Min, he saw that Liang Mancang was very depressed, and he couldn't bear it, so he comforted him with good words.

"Yes, yes, what Zhang Min said makes sense!" Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Liang Mancang's mind to track down was alive again, but he didn't expect that the tragic battle would turn around and there were still people alive, which was probably discovered after he left, and the words of a few of them brought him a glimmer of hope, so it seemed that he had to go to the public gate first in order to investigate the case in the future.

A few people were talking, and the running hall of the restaurant brought up the dishes one after another, a whole pot of braised pheasant, spicy hare, and a jar of ten catties of soju, although it is not a good wine, but it is strong enough, this is enough, and the shopkeeper also sent some peanuts and a few worthless vegetables to drink, and will also set a table.

The six of them drank happily, ate meat in large pieces, and talked the most about the things in the army, and the eldest girl didn't understand much, so she only listened quietly, ate silently, and occasionally added tea to them.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhou You drank red face, turned his head and asked, "Mancang, why did you offend that guy today?" Well, there was a fight in the vegetable market. ”

"Don't tell a few brothers, that guy connived at the guy to do things on the scale of collecting tea, and I caught him, and then he hindered his face, although he still bought me at a high price, but he wanted to collect me as a thug behind his back, but I refused, he turned his face and wanted to kill, what a complete insidious and cunning person." Liang Mancang peeled a peanut and threw it into his mouth.

"This person is said to be the eldest son of the Qian family in Nancang County, the Qian family has a lot of shops in the county to make a living, and this year I just came to Cuiping Town to collect tea and suffered your loss, I am afraid that I will not give up in the future." Wang Rui twisted his eyebrows and reminded him with kind words.

"I'm afraid he's a bird, it's hard to say elsewhere, just in Cuiping Town, with my brother here, no one wants to bully you!" Xiao Geng spit out the chicken bones in his mouth with a puff and said horizontally.

The reason why the county government used them was to show the emperor's grace, and secondly, they were afraid that they had just returned from the battlefield and would not be able to suppress their bloodthirst, so they simply gave them a street patrol position, in order to counter violence with violence, manage the bullies and ruffians, and ensure the peace of the people.

"I'm just a hunter in the mountains, I make a living by selling some game on weekdays, and I haven't done anything like murder and overselling goods, or committing a traitor, but whoever wants to ride on my head to make a fortune, then you have to ask me if my fist agrees!" Liang Mancang drank the wine in the cup and smiled faintly.

"That's right, it's just that it's easy to dodge the open gun and the dark arrow is hard to defend, if you have something, just go to the street patrol on the corner to find it, we usually have someone to keep the value." Wei Jun pointed to the outside of the window, where there was a small door, and there was a plaque with red letters on a black background hanging on the lintel, and three words on the street patrol were written, which looked extremely inconspicuous.

"Who will give you the letter to-day?" Liang Mancang suddenly remembered and asked.

"It's a guy of Sansheng, by the way, you can sell tea in the future to Sansheng Tea Shop, his family has a tea mountain in Cuiping Town, and he has been collecting tea in the town for ten years, Sansheng is kind to business, and his reputation has been good, although the purchase price is not the highest, but the scale is accurate, and the storage can't suffer a loss." Xiao Geng took a mouthful of food and stuffed it in his mouth, and said vaguely.

"Okay, thank you, big brother!" Liang Mancang raised his glass to toast.

"My own brother, what's polite!" Xiao Geng picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

A few people drank and ate, and the topics they talked about were all over the world, and they ate until the afternoon, when they were full of wine and food, they dispersed, and Xiao Geng and the five of them were a little drunk, and they helped each other back to patrol the street.

Liang Mancang planned to buy some more grain in the grain store in the town, and when he asked the price, it was still staggeringly expensive, Gu Daya whispered to him that the price of rice in Nancang County was cheap, so he bought less, and planned to buy it again next time he went to the county seat.

"Brother Mancang, do we want to rest?" Walking out of the grain store, the eldest girl asked with some concern.

"No, what is this wine, I want to ...... back then" Liang Mancang pursed his lips and lowered his eyebrows.
