After a while, good wine and food were delivered like flowing water. When the dishes were ready, Zhang Yi didn't let the guy go, pulled him to sit down, and asked him something. The guy didn't dare to sit, so he had to stand, Zhang Yi first asked the place where the book was sold, and the guy pointed out, saying that there was a bookstore next to the county office, and Zhang Yi said: "The three of us have been selling horses in Xirong for ten years, and have just returned to the Central Plains, and I don't know what happened here. ”

As he spoke, he rewarded the guy with two glasses of wine.

That guy was very talkative, and he talked eloquently, telling the three of them about the world in the past few decades. Speaking of what the Apocalypse Carpenter Emperor trusted Wei Zhongxian, when Emperor Chongzhen chopped Yuan Chonghuan, and what Sun Chengzong, Huang Taiji, a famous figure today, is the first to say.

The guy said for an hour, Zhang Yi and their meal was finished, and finally the three of them stood up with burps, Zhang Yi didn't leave, let the guy pack more than a dozen catties of good beef, and asked for two jars of good wine, Li Dare carried the meat on his back, and Bai Qi carried the wine on his back, and the three of them walked downstairs.

The fat man was already waiting at the door, and there were ten taels of snowflake silver on the cabinet.

Zhang Yi took out the beads and put them in the fat man's hand, and then put away the silver from the cabinet and put it in his arms. The three of them said goodbye to the fat shopkeeper. Zhang Yi seemed to have drunk too much, and when she went out, her feet were stepping on the threshold, and her body was crooked, and she was about to fall.

The fat shopkeeper happened to be on the side, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him: "Distinguished guest, you slow down." ”

Zhang Yi stood firm, and said again and again: "Thank you for your care, thank you for your care, there will be a period later, there will be a period later......"

Li Kang still felt that the beads were cheap and didn't want to leave, Zhang Yi pulled him and didn't look back, and a cigarette went up the street.

It wasn't until he turned a corner that Li Dang spoke: "Sir, you are still selling cheaply......

Bai Qi sneered on the side: "You kid is still too tender, when Mr. Zhang was in his previous life, he deceived the six countries of Shandong, how could he have done a loss-making transaction?" ”

Li Dang was stunned: "What did the general say?" ”

Bai Qi looked at Zhang Yi: "It's time for him to understand." ”

Zhang Yi smiled proudly, stretched out his hand, and shook it in front of Li Kang, empty. But as soon as he flipped his palm, he conjured a pearl like a trick.

Li Dang's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Fortunately, Bai Qi explained: "Mr. Zhang pretended to slip, and when the fat man helped him, Mr. Zhang had already used his clever hand to take the beads back." It's ridiculous that the fat man still doesn't know what to do. ”

At this moment, I only heard a noise behind me.

I only heard the fat man shouting: "Take it out, you must have taken it......"

The guy was arguing: "Where did I take it, I'm far away from you, you must have not installed it properly, and the beads rolled off!" ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the bookstore with wine and meat on their backs. Li Dare admired it so much: "Mr. is really amazing, and he will do this." ”

Zhang Yi shook his head: "What is this, my master, Mr. Guigu, knows everything about astronomy and geography, knows everything about the three religions and nine streams, this skill is just a small skill of carving insects, his old man saw that I had a temperament, so he taught me this, and wanted to come to Su Qin and them, even if he wanted to teach, he would never want to learn." ”

The three of them talked and laughed all the way, and when they came to the county office, they saw a bookstore, and the three of them walked in, looked around for bamboo slips, and looked for a long time, but they didn't see a single one.

The bamboo slips used in the pre-Qin era have long been replaced by paper, but they don't know it.

The shopkeeper came to greet him, but Bai Qi and Li Dang didn't speak, for fear of revealing the stuffing. Zhang Yi pointed to the bookshelves around and asked, "Are there all books on them?" The shopkeeper nodded: "It's all books, all kinds of things." He lowered his voice again: "There are also new **** arrivals, golden vase plums, flower treasures, image books, do you want to see them?" ”

Zhang Yi shook his head: "I want history books, all of them." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly moved over a stack, Zhang Yi opened a historical book, rubbed the paper with his fingers, and felt that he had never seen such a white silk, so he asked: "This ......"

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "This is the best board, the best paper products." No yellowing, no wrinkles, put it for twenty years, and it is still the same as new. ”

Zhang Yi nodded: "Good paper, good paper." "I thought to myself: What is paper? He had an idea, and instructed the shopkeeper to get some practical books, what engineering, surveying, mapping, agriculture, construction, and handicrafts...... The more the merrier.

So he bought a large bundle of silver, and spent nearly half a tael of silver.

After buying it, he taught Li to carry it on his back, and was just about to leave, when he suddenly heard a commotion on the street.

The three of them looked for a sound, and saw a group of people pouring out of the county office on the side, five or six of them were wearing uniforms, as if they were soldiers, and the rest of them were dressed as tolerances, pushing and shoving, and making trouble on the street.

In this way, a group of people gathered on the street to watch the excitement, and Zhang Yi and the three were also mixed in.

I saw that most of the people dressed in tolerance were holding black and red water and fire sticks, and while rushing out to the soldiers, they were beating indiscriminately with their heads and faces, and those soldiers had knives in their hands, but they couldn't stand the other party's large number of people, and they were knocked to the ground after a few knives, and then they were hit with a lot of sticks on their heads and legs.

Those errand boys didn't dare to be ruthless, and at this time they bombarded the soldiers into the street, so they stopped, and one of the leaders scolded and scolded: "The adults are taking a nap, you are noisy, what kind of system, if you don't shut up, knock out your teeth!" ”

A soldier was very fierce: "Lao Tzu entered King Qin, passing by this bird place, you adults do not prepare meals to entertain, but hide and disappear, what is the reason!" ”

The leader scolded: "It's not your business to entertain or not, call your chief to ......."

At this time, the crowd suddenly divided, and fourteen or fifteen people walked in, with a helmet and armor at the head, who seemed to be a chief. When the soldiers saw this person, they didn't dare to move, and stood with their hands down in a regular manner. The soldier said, "General Wang, you can come and call the shots for us!" ”

The general was full of anger: "Who let you mess around here?" Do you know who the prefectural order is here! You dare to trouble him......"

At this moment, I only heard a thin voice outside the crowd: "Who is spreading wilderness in Xianyang City and disobeying discipline...... This voice is extremely arrogant and official.

Those tolerances were scattered on both sides, and a person came out in the middle, white and fat, with thin eyebrows and narrow eyes, a red official robe, and a big belly that looked like a tumbler, full of officialness.

When General Wang saw this person, he hurriedly put on a smiling face: "Lord Zhao, the next official is Wang Xian, a general under the command of General Yang of Gansu, and his majesty is not strict, so he offends a lot, and he offends a lot......"

Then Lord Zhao snorted: "General Wang, the official was taking a lunch break, but was woken up by your soldiers, what the hell is going on?" ”

Wang Xian hurriedly bowed his hand: "These are newly recruited soldiers, they don't understand the rules, and they disturb the peace of the adults, so I will punish them. Don't pursue it is ......"

It turned out that this Zhao County Commander was the nephew of Wu Zun, the squire of the military department, no wonder Wang Xian was so afraid of him.

Zhao Xian Ling narrowed his eyes and didn't say a word, Wang Xian knew what he meant, and raised his face to the six troublesome soldiers: "You trespassed on the official office, ignored the military law, and should have been beheaded, but now that the capital is tight, when it comes to employing people, I will not behead you first." When someone comes, he will be punished sixty times with a street stick. ”

The guards behind him stepped forward, pressed these people to the ground, borrowed the water and fire sticks of the errand boys, pulled off their pants, and beat them on the street.

The sound of banging was incessant, and some of the six people couldn't bear the pain and screamed.

Lord Zhao stroked his goatee, smiled silently, and gloated.

Bai Qi sneered in a low voice: "This kind of officer, how to convince the soldiers......"

Just hit a dozen sticks, suddenly heard a commotion outside the crowd, angrily broke into a few people, the first one is tall, high cheeks and thick eyebrows, although the appearance is ordinary, but the eyes are bright, looking forward to it, very powerful. He was followed by a person, tiger-headed and leopard-clear, with a fierce expression.

One of the soldiers who had been beaten saw the two of them and shouted, "Brother Li, save me......"

The man with high cheeks and thick eyebrows frowned: "Liu Fangliang, I just stopped and disappeared from you, why are you so unproductive, is it molesting women?" ”

Liu Fangliang shouted: "Brother Li, when did my brother molest women, it was all because of the bad county order and refused to receive it, causing the brothers to starve, and everyone couldn't get their military pay for three months......"

When the guards who were in charge of the execution saw this person, they all slowly stopped.

Wang Xian was very unhappy and sneered: "Li Zicheng, I will discipline them by myself, I don't need you to interfere, retreat." ”

Li Zicheng pointed at Liu Fangliang: "Fangliang and the other two are my people, if they want to be disciplined, they should be disciplined by me, and there is no need to bother to participate in the generals." As he spoke, he instructed the people behind him: "Li Guo, escort your brother Liang back." ”

Li Guo agreed, went over and blasted away the guards, and helped Liu Fangliang up.

Wang Xian was furious, came to Li Zicheng's side, and whispered: "I advise you to still know practice, this adult is the nephew of Wu Da of the Ministry of War, and if you offend him, do you still want to live?" ”

Li Zicheng nodded: "In this way, I'll just apologize to him." After speaking, he strode in front of Zhao Xian Ling and arched his hand: "I am a subordinate of General Wang, and the general banner Li Zicheng, my soldiers have offended the adult, and I will apologize to the lord below." ”

Zhao County Ling put a general flag in charge of fifty people in his eyes, sneered, and didn't look at him. Li Zicheng laughed, stretched out his hand and took off the saber from his waist, and held it with both hands: "My lord, this flower horse sword is extremely sharp, it is a treasure, this is dedicated to your lordship, please raise your noble hand." ”
