Du San didn't know if Zhang Yiguo would give Han Si face, and he didn't know if Zhang Yiguo would help him, and the general soldiers of Suzhou Town had been in the camp from morning to night to watch the drill for the past two days, and even let the grain officer not know where to buy more than 20 big fat pigs and slaughter them for the brothers in the camp to eat.

Others are drunk today, a few bowls of wine on the stomach, patted their chests and swore that in the future, they will only come to Shuanglai to look forward, and they will work with Shuanglai to recover Yangzhou first, then recover Guazhou and Yizhen, and then attack Jiang Ningsheng and capture the bandit Hong Xiuquan. Du San was unpleasant to eat, and the past two days have been terrifying.

It wasn't until this morning that Zhang Yiguo came to the camp with Master Lei's warrant, saying that there was an errand and asked him and six other fellow villagers to quickly pack their luggage and leave together, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Shuanglai was staring ahead, he was worried that the night would be long and dreamy, and he couldn't even pack up the cover rolls, so he followed Zhang Yiguo to a small river. Just as he was about to kneel down to thank him, Zhang Yiguo suddenly glared at him, and then pointed to the boat under the slope: "Hurry up and get on the boat, don't come back in the future, don't let this official see you again!" ”

"Master Zhang, the lower official ......"

"Less nonsense, dare to say more, don't blame the official for sending you back!"

Du San didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so he hurriedly glanced at his fellow villagers, ran downhill with his bags, and jumped on the boat. The six green battalion soldiers who were taken out of the camp together were confused, but when they saw Zhang Yiguo's murderous eyes, they didn't dare to hesitate, and they also followed downhill and boarded the boat.

Xiang Yong, who was guarding the boat, nodded with the boatman, and the boatman hurriedly picked up the basket and propped the boat in the direction of the Fairy Temple, but it was still far from the Fairy Temple, and Du San saw that the middle-aged Confucian who he saw in Zhang Yiguo's house the day before yesterday was standing on the river bank not far away with his hands behind his back and looking at them, and there were several Xiang Yong standing behind him.

"Third master, what kind of errand is it?" Ding Er, who was called out of the camp together, asked nervously.

"I'll talk about it later, it's not a bad thing anyway." Du San didn't know who Mr. Wu was waiting on the shore, but he could guess that his head would not be small, and he stood at the bow of the boat and bowed to the shore from afar.

The second-class green battalion soldier Ding was flustered, and he also bowed down.

Wu Wenming looked down on people like Du San who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and turned around as if he hadn't seen it. Du San was already thick-skinned, how could he care about this, as soon as the boat docked, he climbed up and said, "Xiaguan Du Weifang has seen Mr. Wu." ”

"Hmm." Wu Wenming nodded slightly, then looked at the few green battalion soldiers who had just come ashore and asked, "What are the names of the six of you?" ”

Even Du San was so respectful, Ding Er didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Master, the little one's surname is Ding, his name is Dahe, he is the second in the family, and the brothers in the camp all call the little Ding Er." ”

"Ding Er is right, where is my hometown?"

"Little hometown Ba County."

"What about you?"

"Master Yu, the younger one is called Liu Bengui, this is the youngest third brother Liu Benfu, and the younger one is also from Ba County like Ding Er."

……

All of them are from Ba County, Du San suddenly realized why Zhang Yiguo called these six Qiu Ba together, and just when he didn't know what to say, Wu Wenming motioned to Wu Sizhu, a family member who had killed bandits in the area of Daqiao Town with Chen Hu, handed over an envelope, and said expressionlessly: "Du Weifang, there are two letters and an official document in the envelope, the letter was written by me and Master Zhang to Master Han, and the official document was asked for by Master Lei for you." ”

"Mr. Xie Wu......"

"Stop talking nonsense, wait until I'm done." Wu Wenming's face turned straight, and he continued: "You are no longer the alternate assistant to the garrison, but the Qin Jia of the Qingshan Battalion from the fifth rank of Qianzong. The Qingshan Battalion was empty long before the bandits captured Yizhen, so you, the Qianzong, have nothing to do. If you want to go back to your hometown in Sichuan, go back, and after a while, ask someone to bring me a letter, and I will find a reason to help you report it, saying that you are not lightly ill, and you can only return to your hometown. ”

"Mr. Wu, I have to ask my second brother about such a big event when I go home."

"You actually have the face to say that Master Han is your second brother, it's just that, if you want to ask, just ask." Wu Wenming didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he looked at Ding Er and the others: "Even if you don't know it before, you will soon know that Master Han, the deputy envoy of the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Division, is from Ba County, and he is the same township as you." Master Han doesn't have a few family members around him, if you go to him, you will definitely take him in, but after you go, you must do your best, and you are not allowed to cheat and play tricks. ”

Ding Er has not heard Du San boast these days, but he has never dared to think about it, after all, Vice Master Yun is from the fifth grade, and he is a civil official, even if he is a fellow villager, he can't climb high, listening to Wu Wenming's words, he was immediately ecstatic, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Master Wu rest assured, thank you Master Wu for helping, the small one is not a person who doesn't know what to do, and the small one must be ......."

"Okay, okay, it's useless to tell me this, thank you when you get to Hai'an, and then thank you, Master Han."

……

sent away Du San and other Qiu Ba, but after a thought, Wu Wenming got on another boat to return to Yizhen.

Wu Sizhu brought the water boiling on the stove at the stern of the boat into the cabin, made tea and couldn't help asking: "Sixth Master, didn't you ask Lord Lei to send a few people to go back with us to hold a group practice, how to let them go to Hai'an." ”

"How can they be used for group training, do you think they are like them, like they can fight?"

"Lord Lei also asked that Du Weifang to be the president of Qingshan Camp, and the surname Du went to Hai'an, what should I do with Qingshan Camp, and whether I want to rebuild it."

"Qingshan Camp is naturally going to be rebuilt, but not now, and it's not for me to rebuild. The reason why Lord Lei asked the person surnamed Du to be the president of Qingshan Camp is because if we don't do this, we can't justifiably send someone to help us run a group practice, after all, the person surnamed Du is also a military attache in the economic system anyway. ”

"So you're the one who asked for Master Han!"

"You just need to know, don't talk nonsense."

"You know, I'm not going to talk nonsense." Wu Sizhu thought about it and asked: "Sixth Master, if this surnamed Du doesn't go back to his hometown in Sichuan, and he doesn't go to Yizhen in Hai'an, what will Lord Lei do if he asks in the future?" ”

Wu Wenming picked up the teacup, lifted the lid, skimmed the tea leaves floating on it, and said lightly: "There are not five hundred but four hundred thousand people outside Yangzhou City, how can Lord Lei remember him Du Weifang." Besides, what kind of person is Master Han, if the surnamed Du Zhenlai doesn't leave and doesn't return to Yizhen with him, he won't make it difficult for me, and he will definitely find ways to transfer the surnamed Du to the salt fishing camp, or help the surnamed Du find another errand. ”

……

At the same time, Xu Ying, who can't work for Lei Yicheng like Zhang Yiguo these days, can only go to Fuzhulang Ana every morning to order something, received a letter from a fellow villager who took refuge in Taizhou, saying that Zhang Zhigao is sick!

Master Hu, who had not yet healed the injury on his buttocks, felt that this was an opportunity, and lay on the couch and said eagerly: "Dong Weng, Master Guo is right, if you suffer a loss, you will suffer if you are not a Zhengyin official." Since that old bastard Zhang Zhigao is too sick to be a director, why don't you go and beg Lord Lei to take charge of Taizhou affairs? ”

The owner's official fortune is prosperous, and the friends have a good life.

Master Yang thought so, and also persuaded: "Dong Weng, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again." Look at how many alternates are waiting for the Fairy Temple to be tried, if you miss this village, there will be no such shop! ”

Xu Ying reluctantly put down the teacup and said with a smile: "The news that Zhang Zhigao is too sick to be a director again, in fact, I knew it three days ago. ”

"You already knew?"

"As soon as Zhang Zhigao fell ill, he sent his family to report to Fu Zhulang, this Taizhou main hall he has been doing today from Daoguang for 23 years, and he has already made enough money. Now that the world is not peaceful, and the Taiping bandits are close at hand, he wishes to leave his post and return to his hometown as soon as possible. ”

"Fuzhulanga won't let him go?" Master Hu asked subconsciously.

"Fuzhu Lang probably knew that Zhang Zhigao was in a hurry to return to his roots, or he might have wanted to wait for those alternate officials to bid, in short, he neither agreed nor said he disagreed, anyway, it was dragged on."

"Oh, why didn't I even think of this, Fuzhu Lang Ah must not only want Zhang Zhigao's silver, but also want to sell it at a price, and want to sell this errand in Taizhou at a good price!"

"You just know?" Xu Ying asked rhetorically, and then sneered: "But Lord Lei knows this in his heart, and Lord Guo also knows it in his heart, so he Zhang Zhigao doesn't want to be cheap and just leave!" Don't expect to make much money out of it! ”

Thinking that Zhang Zhigao was obviously greedy for life and afraid of death but falsely reported his military exploits, but Lei Yicheng was a master who couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes, and even turned his face with Qi Shan, the minister of the Qin Mission, these days, he even turned his face with Qi Shan, and he had two bullets in a row to impeach Qi Shan for three days and two times to report victory to the saint, but in fact, he had not fought a battle, Master Hu suddenly reacted: "The more Zhang Zhigao doesn't want to be this official, the more he wants him to do it, and let him die in Taizhou!" ”

"Anyway, it's not so easy for him Zhang Zhigao to return to the roots." Xu Ying snorted coldly, put down the teacup and got up and said, "As for Fuzhu Lang, he can't take care of this prefect for a few days." So we don't have to do anything now, just keep it the same. ”

"Han Xiufeng, is there any news of Han Xiufeng these days?" Master Hu turned his head and looked at Master Yang.

"It is said that barracks are being built in Hai'an, and a government office is being built. It is said that the official does not repair the government, but he is good, the enemy is at present, and he dares to risk the disapproval of the world and spend money, food and people's power to build a large number of buildings. ”

"The Construction Department?"

While cleaning up the desk, Master Yang confirmed: "The deputy yamen of Jianyun and the yamen of the Yunsi have all moved to Taizhou, and he even has to move to Hai'an." This is obviously scared, and I want to stay away from Yangzhou. How good it is to hide in Hai'an, there is still a Taizhou in the middle of Yangzhou, even if Yangzhou turns the sky upside down, he will not be able to do anything in Hai'an. ”

Master Hu said hatefully: "If you should advance, you will advance, and if you should retreat, you will retreat, he is a master who knows how to advance and retreat!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Ying reminded: "Han Zhixing's move to Hai'an must have been approved by Lord Guo, and Lord Guo's consent to his move to Hai'an must also have a reason for Lord Guo." After all, he is now not only a deputy of transportation, but also a battalion officer of the salt fishing camp, and moving to Hai'an is not only convenient for investigating smugglers, but also convenient for impeachment. Yangzhou is already chaotic enough, and the coastal fields can no longer be chaotic. Once those stove households and shipwrights who have lost their livelihood due to the obstruction of water transportation and the inability to transport Huai salt to make a mess, it is not only the Huaizhong Huainan 21 that will be in chaos, but the entire Tongtai. ”
