Chapter Twenty-Six: Arrival in Pingle
Shen Hongzhuang's salute is not wine, but oil tea.
With Yaoxiang self-produced tea, ginger, garlic, nuts specific craftsmanship made, ten miles of fragrance, with Yao Township's unique snacks when eating, when eating tea fragrant, aftertaste endless, it is said that if there is a cold, typhoid fever or poor stomach, come a few bowls of hearty oil tea, you will suddenly feel refreshed, all diseases are eliminated.
"The flavor is unique and varied, and people are not drunk with oil tea." Han Lin thought of a poem that specifically described the Yao camellia, but why didn't he drink alcohol, and the camellia couldn't taste anything.
Early the next morning, Han Lin and Yilong immediately rushed to Pingle City. There is a distance of nearly 100 miles from Gongcheng to Pingle, the two were originally on foot, and they rushed for two hours, Han Lin really couldn't keep up with the pace of Yilong, the latter trained with high intensity all year round, and his physical fitness was very perverted, so he could run directly to Pingle City, but Han Lin had abandoned his exercise in recent years. In order to rush to Pingle City before dark, Han Lin could only buy a cow from the villagers he met at a high price.
In the evening, Han Lin and the others entered the city to find an inn, looking at the menu hanging on the wall, Han Lin frowned: "Shopkeeper, your store is too dark, a tofu costs so much money, robbery." ”
"This son, the small shop is also forced to do so, please forgive me." The business of this inn is not very good, the shopkeeper personally entertains the guests, and seeing that Han Lin is a little dissatisfied, he hurriedly explained.
"Tell me what you have to do, and we're not the ones who lack that little money." Han Lin asked.
"This ......" Before the shopkeeper could speak, several fierce men suddenly broke in, and the leader roughly kicked down a table next to him, which made the shopkeeper feel a little painful. The man approached and shouted to the shopkeeper: "The surname is Tang, if you don't hand over the opening fee, do you want this broken inn to close?" ”
"This adult, didn't the villain just pay a lot in the morning, look at this ......" Tang shopkeeper said cautiously, but was slapped in the face by the man, Tang shopkeeper was over fifty years old, his body was thin, and he was directly knocked to the ground, and half of his face was swollen.
"Daddy!"
The man was still about to make a move, but a crisp voice came, and he saw a shadow rushing to Tang's shopkeeper's side, helping him up and sitting on the chair next to him.
The shopkeeper Tang took a while to slow down, and saw that the big men were staring at their daughters, their faces were very ugly, but they could only protect their daughters behind him, and scolded: "Whoever let you out, get out of here for me." ”
"Hehe," the leader said ill-intentionedly, "surnamed Tang, I can't see that you still have such a flower-like daughter, come over and let me take a look." ”
Shopkeeper Tang's face sank, and he turned to say, "Adults, how much silver do you want, I'll go get it right away." ”
The leader of the big man put away his squinting eyes and sneered: "It's not much, it's eighty taels." ”
"Eighty taels!" Shopkeeper Tang stood up and screamed loudly, his small shop couldn't make so much silver in a month.
"What, don't you want to give?" The leader of the big man surrendered his gaze to the daughter of the shopkeeper Tang again, looking up and down.
"Give, of course." The shopkeeper Tang seemed to be ten years old in an instant, and went to the back to get the silver, during which the eyes of several big men became more unscrupulous, which made the shopkeeper Tang's daughter uncomfortable.
The shopkeeper Tang handed over the silver, and the whole person sat down on the chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.
The big men took the money and went out, and one of them asked puzzledly: "Boss, that little girl is really smart, did you just let it go?" ”
"Do you want to?" The leader of the big man squinted at him.
"Yes!"
"I want to die!" The leader of the big man kicked over, "This kind of posture is also something you and I can move, we took dozens of taels more this time, and when the time comes, tell the master about that girl, it's another great achievement, if you want to find death, don't blame me for not reminding you." ”
"It's still the boss who thinks thoughtfully."
In the inn, Han Lin sighed: "Shopkeeper, I also know your difficulties. ”
"Let Childe see and smile." Shopkeeper Tang laughed at himself.
"You just said that you have paid the money in the morning, and you take the liberty to ask, what is the specific situation?" Han Lin asked.
"Alas, in the morning, a group of perennial protection money collectors have already taken thirty taels from me, which is acceptable, but I didn't expect such a few bastards to come again, eighty taels, much more than what I earned, is this still a life!" Shopkeeper Tang couldn't help but cry as he spoke, "I'm just such a daughter, I can't let her be ruined by anything." You said you, what are you running out for! ”
Tang's shopkeeper's daughter felt a little aggrieved: "Dad, aren't I also worried about you, those people are just beasts, I'm afraid they will treat you..."
Han Lin and Yilong glanced at each other, and Han Lin continued to ask: "Those people bully the people and dominate the market, doesn't anyone care?" ”
"Tube?" Tang's shopkeeper's daughter raised her eyebrows, "These people are the subordinates of the Pan family, the Pan family covers the sky with one hand, who else can care, I just hope that pan wok, that bastard will go to hell as soon as possible!" ”
"Shh," Shopkeeper Tang looked out of the door with a weak heart, "what nonsense, what should people do if they hear it." ”
"If you hear it, you hear it, I want to say it!"
Han Lin couldn't help but smile: This Tang shopkeeper is submissive, and his daughter is a little pepper.
"What are you laughing at, what's so funny, we don't want you as a guest, get out of here."
"Uh..."Han Lin rolled his eyes, "I'm not smiling, shopkeeper, let's serve, the two of us have been hungry for a while." ”
"Okay, right now." The shopkeeper wanted to get up, but his daughter held him down: "Dad, I'll just go, you can rest for a while." ”
"Shopkeeper Tang, dare to ask Ling Yanfang's name." Waiting for Tang's shopkeeper's daughter to leave, Han Lin asked.
Shopkeeper Tang glanced at Han Lin, saw that the latter had no hue, and replied, "The little girl's name is Qingling." ”
At this time, in the prefect's Panyang Mansion, there was an uninvited guest sitting in front of Panyang.
"Brigade Commander Chen, is what you said true?" Panyang was a little excited.
"Naturally, it is true, when the time comes, not only will my brigade deal with the wolf soldiers of the wok, but our army commander will personally take a part of the elite to give the wok a fatal blow." Chen Jian replied affirmatively that he was the commander of the mixed 1st Brigade stationed in Guilin Mansion, and the whole brigade had 7,000 people.
"That's really good, I've long been unaccustomed to seeing the woks doing evil, but it's a pity that I've been more than capable of doing it before, and this time I can finally return peace to the people of Pingle Mansion!" Panyang's face was flushed, his fists clenched, and he was very excited.
"My people have arrived in Yangshuo, and they will be able to arrive in Pingle City the day after tomorrow, and I have received news that our military commander has entered Pingle City."
"It's already here!" Panyang stood up, "Why don't you notify me first to go and greet you, where is Commander Han now, I'll send someone immediately, no... I personally went to take Commander Han to the house. ”
"Hahaha," Jian Chen said with a smile, "No need, the military commander has just entered the city in the dark, and he has already found a family to live in, and he will come to visit by himself tomorrow, don't startle the snake, so that the woks are prepared." I took my leave first. ”
The next day, Han Lin and Yilong came to Panyang Mansion and saw Panyang, the Panyang in front of him was white and fat, but there were no wrinkles on his face, and he was well maintained.
"Commander Han, I have admired the name for a long time, and the subordinate has finally seen you." Pan Yang lowered his posture extremely and nodded to Han Lin.
"The prefect of Pan doesn't need to be polite, you did a good job this time, and when I return to Guangzhou, I will definitely ask Your Majesty for credit for you." Han Lin said with a smile, solving the woks is the first step to completely control the entire Guangxi.
"Thank you Commander Han, thank you Commander Han, the lower officer will take you to the wing room to rest first." Panyang smiled.
"Okay."
The time slowly came to noon, Han Lin in the wing room opened the door and walked out, and asked a subordinate nearby, "May I ask where is the thatched house?" ”
"This son, come with me." A servant stepped forward to respond, taking Han Lin to the thatched hut to go to the toilet, and another person was waiting next to him.
After walking for a while, Han Lin couldn't help but say, "Your mansion is quite big." As soon as the words fell, Han Lin Yuguang saw a figure walking out of a room, still scolding in his mouth, so he asked, "What is that place?" ”
"Oh, that's the bookkeeper," replied the servant, glancing at him, "well, that's the hut, and I'm waiting for you here." ”
After solving the physiological needs, Han Lin replied that Panyang had already brought someone to bring lunch. Han Lin looked at Panyang: "Panzhi Mansion, Yilong will leave the mansion in a moment and go to contact the elite brought by us." ”
Panyang was overjoyed: "Xiaguan has long wanted to see the strength of the self-strengthening army, and this time I finally have a chance, by the way, how many men and horses did Commander Han bring, if it is too little, I'm afraid..."
Han Lin saw that Panyang turned from joy to worry, and said with a smile: "Governor Pan, please rest assured, although we only brought one battalion, all of them are strong soldiers with one enemy and ten, and isn't there a brigade of Chen Jian, absolutely foolproof." ”
Panyang put his mind at ease: "That's good, that's good." ”
Han Lin was ready to act at any time, on the Pan family's main mansion, in the pan wok, the two bodies were tightly entangled, and as a wheat-colored body let out a low roar, the movement of the two gradually calmed down.
The man is naturally a wok, and the woman is his one hundred and first concubine, and she is currently the most popular among him, but this love is only temporary, and it will never exceed three months.
"Master, the concubine saw a hairpin a few days ago, can you buy it for me?" The concubine also knew that her status might take a sharp turn at any time, so she wanted to get more benefits while she was favored.
"Okay, I'll buy it for you." Pan Wok has just finished exercising, and he is a little tired after being satisfied, this is the time when he is most likely to agree to a woman's request, and he doesn't care about this money.
"Master, someone is looking for you." At this time, an old voice came from outside the room, it was the old housekeeper of Panfu, who was already over the age and still in good health.
Pan Wok frowned, this old housekeeper watched himself grow up, he respected him, he was also very measured, there must be something important when he came to find himself at this time, so Pan Wok pushed away the concubine, quickly put on his clothes and went out.
