Chapter 622: Return to Luyang
For the alliance leader "Happy Expansion Uncle Wang" to add more, thank you again for your support! )
On July 18, the 23rd year of Yongzhi, a tea shop outside the north city of Luyang.
At this time, nearly 100 people gathered here, and they didn't need to get too close to see the identities of these people.
But these people are all fully armoured, and they are equipped with standard steel knives, although they are dusty, but they are all dressed in brocade and guard uniforms.
Sitting at the middle table was a young man in a purple-clad unicorn pattern, who was looking at the distant city wall at this time.
This person is Chen Xiaoting, who rushed all the way from the capital, and it only took him thirteen days to rush outside Luyang City.
Fortunately, they had sufficient supplies along the way, and they were able to fully replace the horses at each station, but they were still very tired from the journey.
In a hurry, this is also a matter of no choice.
Therefore, before entering Luyang, Chen Xiaoting chose to rest outside the city for a while to ensure that his subordinates had sufficient energy when they entered the city.
So much so that at this time, some people sitting in the tea shop even squinted and fell asleep at this time.
These behaviors were all allowed by Chen Xiaoting, after all, people are not beaten by iron, he didn't sleep because of the team leader.
Sitting beside Chen Xiaoting were the three chief flag and small flag officer Yang Kai.
These three general banners are Pei Lun of the South Town Fu Division, and Liu Baoquan and Xu Danian of the North Town Fu Division.
Pei Lun looks nearly thirty, and one of the characteristics of this person is that his head is bigger than ordinary people, but this does not affect his capable appearance, and he is playing with a dagger at this time.
And Liu Baoquan and Xu Danian on the side, both twenty-seven or eighteen years old, at this time, one was drinking tea and the other was peeling apples with a knife.
At this time, Yang Kai couldn't help but say: "My lord, since we are here to investigate the case, it stands to reason that we should be cautious, why are we coming here with great fanfare now, and we are not afraid of being run away by thieves?" ”
Chen Xiaoting put down the teacup and spit out a piece of tea from his mouth before saying, "Since you are cautious, why did you spit out the investigation of the case when there are outsiders present?" ”
Following Chen Xiaoting's gaze, Yang Kai looked at the owner of the tea shop on the side, this person was an old man in his fifties and fifties, and he set up a stall here with his two sons.
Hearing this, the well-informed owner of the tea shop knelt on the ground with a "plop", kowtowed vigorously and said, "My lord spare my life, my lord spare my life!" ”
At this moment, he did not forget to greet his two sons and motioned for them to kneel down quickly.
If it was other officials, this old man would usually shout "Lord forgive sins", but when he met Jinyiwei, he had to shout for mercy, which was his experience over the years.
Therefore, he has opened a tea shop outside Luyang City for so many years, and he has been surviving under the difficulties of evil slaves from official families and large families.
Chen Xiaoting smiled slightly, and then said: "Uncle, how many people are there in your family, can you make a living by opening a tea shop here?" ”
Although he didn't understand why there was this problem, the old man still nodded and said, "Back to adults, business outside the city is good, and you can still support your family!" ”
Chen Xiaoting nodded slightly, and then asked again: "My husband has opened a tea shop for so many years, and he also understands tea, I don't know if there are any good tea recommendations?" ”
This question was also something that the old man didn't expect, but he still said: "The villain is a person from the countryside, and he knows what good tea there is, but it is a camellia picked in the mountains, and the black tea is used to feed his family!" ”
Chen Xiaoting nodded, and then said, "My husband is really modest, please get up!" ”
Hearing Chen Xiaoting's words, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately pulled his two sons up.
Chen Xiaoting waved his hand and motioned for them to go and get busy, and then he said to Yang Kai: "Do you see it, in the future, remember to control your mouth first, otherwise it will be easy to hurt yourself!" ”
Yang Kai was speechless at this time, he was indeed negligent, but the doubts in his heart did not decrease.
But Chen Xiaoting didn't have time to answer him, but knocked on the table with his hand, and then said, "Greet everyone, it's time to rise east!" ”
They had rested for most of the hour, and it was time for them to recuperate, and it was natural for them to leave.
"Get up, go, go......"
"Get up and ...... now"
As soon as Chen Xiaoting gave the order, a flag officer immediately stood up to greet him, and soon their group started moving.
It's just that Chen Xiaoting's speed of rushing is very slow, which also suppresses the speed of the entire team.
After walking less than 100 meters, Pei Lun, who was following Chen Xiaoting's side, said: "My lord is smart! ”
Chen Xiaoting smiled slightly, and said, "Why do you say this?" ”
And Liu Baoquan and Xu Danian on the side, as well as Yang Kai, who was responsible for guarding Chen Xiaoting, all showed suspicious expressions at this time.
Pei Lun said: "There is a problem with the three people in this tea shop!" ”
"Lao Pei, what do you mean by that?" Liu Baoquan couldn't help but ask.
Pei Lun didn't pay attention to it, and said directly: "First of all, this Lao Zhang's two sons are definitely Lian Jiazi, when Lord Fang threatened them, these two people had the urge to do it, but they stopped the old man!" ”
"Second, this old man's tea is not a mountain tea at all, but a green sword tea that only exists in the south, and this tea is extremely produced in the south and sold extremely cheaply!"
Seeing Chen Xiaoting's expression of appreciation, Pei Lun continued: "Third, even if this tea is cheap tea in the south, but if it is transported to such a far place in the northwest, its profit should be extremely meager, how can it afford to support their family!" ”
After Pei Lun finished speaking, he heard Chen Xiaoting stroking his palm and said: "Okay, Pei Zongqi's head is really not so big for nothing, it is really different from ordinary people, and he deserves to be one of the best masters in Nansi!" ”
Even if Pei Lun was reserved, under Chen Xiaoting's cross-talk, he couldn't help but feel complacent.
But he still understood the severity, so he immediately said: "My lord's praise, if it weren't for the adults asking those questions, I wouldn't have found these things, and the adults are really smart!" ”
Pei Lun didn't resist this kind of thing, after all, anyone who wants to climb up these years is inevitable.
"Your Excellency is wise!" Liu Baoquan and Xu Danian also sent out sycophants.
At this time, Chen Xiaoting said to Yang Kai: "See, you have been in the palace for a long time, and you still have to learn many things from these seniors!" ”
Pei Lun's keen insight, Yang Kai naturally admired it, and only listened to him: "Thank you for mentioning it, but I still can't understand what I asked!" ”
Without waiting for Chen Xiaoting to speak, Liu Baoquan on the side said: "Because of the fact that we came to Luyang, it must be impossible to hide it, it is better to come over in a dignified manner, so that it can not only deter those rebels of the White Lotus Sect, but also boost the morale of the thousands of households in Yongxi!" ”
"After all, thousands of households have been stabbed to death, and they must be in a state of distress at this time!"
Sure enough, none of the people who can be selected into this team are fuel-efficient lamps, and their brains are spinning fast.
These are all things that Yang Kai can't imagine, but he will work hard to learn.
Since he has taken Chen Xiaoting's line, if he doesn't work hard to get a future, Yang Kai will not be blind to death.
At this moment, I only heard Chen Xiaoting instruct: "Send someone to keep an eye on the tea shop first, maybe there will be an unexpected joy in the future!" ”
After saying this, Chen Xiaoting beat his horse and sped up, and the whole team also rushed towards the east gate of Luyang.
At this time, the people inside the Yongxi Thousand Households had already received the news of the arrival of the Qin Mission, and everyone in the Thousand Households was waiting outside the gate at this time.
They had been waiting for half an hour since the beginning, and the sun was so high that fine sweat broke out on their foreheads.
It wasn't until the sound of horses' hooves outside the long street that everyone was shaken.
