Chapter 37: Lijia Station

In the end, in order to save his life, Kaohsiung had to go home and rummage through the cabinets, take out all his family funds, and exchange them for silver tickets, and finally made up enough five million taels, bleeding in his heart, trembling his hands and handing it to King Xin, holding King Xin's hand tightly, and saying 'Thank you, thank you!' ’

In the early morning of the next day, Duan Hai was inexplicably acquitted, and when he appeared in front of Gao Qiqian, the envoy of Jinyi Weizhen, and knelt down to thank him, Gao Qiqian, who had been scheming, was also confused, and he didn't know why!

When I thought of Kaohsiung's haunting and panicked form today, Gao Qiqian suddenly understood, and then coerced and lured him, but Kaohsiung ~ insisted that Qingshan would not relax, and the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, so he denied it!

Does he dare to admit it? If he didn't know the seriousness of this matter before, he might have shown off, but when he knew that this case involved the killing of all people, how could he confide the truth?

Coupled with the loss of five million taels of silver, he emptied all his savings for so many years at one time, and Kaohsiung regretted it at this moment! I was really uncomfortable in my heart, so I poured all my anger on a few concubines, and for a while the screams of the inner house were everywhere, one after another, and I didn't close my eyes all night because I lived in the courtyard next door.

The potential Datong Mansion can be described as a one-handed cover of the sky, a real and practical emperor of the earth, but the six roots are incomplete, and he has been a eunuch since he was a child, and the most taboo thing for eunuchs is the affairs of men and women.

At this moment, Kaohsiung is full of anger and has nowhere to vent, like a boar in estrus, under the effect of drugs, tossing for a whole night, disturbing the high rising and diving night, unable to sleep, itchy and unbearable!

At this moment, His Royal Highness King Xin, accompanied by Xu Xiake and Yuan Wenxin, as well as members of the Dragon Soul Group, crossed the Yellow River and went straight to the direction of Shaanxi.

Just after Kaohsiung handed over the five million taels of silver tickets to him, he took advantage of the excuse to slip away; He didn't want to be entangled with Jinyiwei anymore, as long as Duan Hai appeared in front of Jinyiwei's envoy Gao Qiqian the next day, he would soon be able to find out Kaohsiung, and if he found out the people he had recently contacted in Kaohsiung, he would be able to find out himself.

Therefore, King Xin had to leave Datong Mansion in a hurry, and the faster he went, the better, and the farther he went; Along the way, everyone talked and laughed, when King Xin said how to get drunk in Kaohsiung and how to slaughter him, Xu Xiake and Yuan Wenxin laughed and leaned back together, and they couldn't support it.

Since shopping that day, Yuan Wenxin no longer dressed as a man, but changed into a green short dress, outlined, with her hair tied low, and a three-foot sword hanging from her waist.

In addition, King Xin's young man is handsome and chivalrous; Xu Xiake is immortal, kind and kind; Then there is the Dragon Soul group, which is arrogant and withdrawn, attracting countless people to stop and look back along the way.

When Yuan Wenxin heard that King Xin slaughtered five million, he said that those who saw the rules of the rivers and lakes had a share; The king of faith did not follow, laughing and scolding her for being a loser, Yuan Wenxin was very angry and chased all the way, not forgiving.

Seeing the two children laughing and playing, Xu Xiake was relieved, stroked his beard and laughed: "What a pair of fairy couples, haha!" ”

Everyone stopped to investigate in the mountains and mountains, observed the direction of the mountain, and measured the altitude!

Wade across the river, survey the flow rate of the water lines, and measure the depth of the river!

Stay overnight in a cottage, have fun with the people, be sympathetic to the people's feelings, teach the people and plough, and analyze the soil quality!

When encountering disaster victims on the road, be kind and generous, distribute silver taels, and help the poor!

In the evening of this day, King Xin and his entourage entered the territory of Yansui Mansion in Shaanxi, which belonged to one of the nine important towns of the Ming Dynasty, stationed in the northwest defense, and was an important military strategic place in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty, guarding the northwest gate of the Ming Dynasty.

For more than 100 years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who retreated to Mobei waited for an opportunity to go south, which became a serious border trouble in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty; The Ming Dynasty had to set up a defense on the border, starting from the Yalu River in the east, reaching Jiayuguan in the west, stretching for thousands of miles on the northern border defense line, successively set up Liaodong, Xuanfu, Jizhou, Datong, Taiyuan, Yansui, Ningxia, Guyuan and Gansu, nine important border defense towns, known as the "Nine Border Towns" in history, and it was the important town of the Ming Dynasty to resist the defense of the remnants of the Mongolian forces of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

In recent years, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty has declined, Shaanxi and Gansu have been drought for many years, mourning is everywhere, and the imperial court has not been effective in disaster relief, resulting in the rise of gangsters; In addition, the northern nomads often enter the country to harass the border people of Shaanxi and Gansu, which can be described as internal and external troubles; In today's Shaanxi and Gansu, the people are not living well, and they have become a pot of porridge!

As far as the eye can see, Xu Xiake, the king of letters, has a sad face on his face, and his brows are tightly locked; Along the way, the five million taels of silver that King Shin obtained from Kaohsiung have been distributed to nearly two million victims along the way.

However, what they didn't expect was that the situation in Shaanxi was getting worse and worse, and distributing silver was equivalent to drinking water to quench their thirst, even if the victims got the silver, they had to be able to buy food!

Xu Xiake sighed and said: "Under natural disasters and man-made disasters, the first thing to solve is man-made disasters, the so-called man-made disasters, one is the burning, killing and looting from the northern nomads; The second is the rogue from within the country."

"Hmmm! Only when the man-made disasters are quelled, the impact of natural disasters will naturally be reduced, and the imperial court will use the saved food and salary for disaster relief, and the situation in Shaanxi can be comfortably alleviated! King Xin smiled bitterly.

The two of them walked side by side, chatting as they walked, and found a village in front of them, and everyone was already hungry and thirsty, so they drove their horses to the village.

The village is very large, with hundreds of households, and is surrounded by a fence and fence, and from time to time there are village guards patrolling, apparently to prevent the invasion of the rogues; When they came to the gate of the village, Zhuang Ding had already discovered them, and they were all vigilant and curious to look at everyone.

The first burly, dignified-looking yellow-faced man shouted: "Stop! Who are you? Was it sent by Wang Jiayin of 'Huanglong Mountain'? ”

Xu Xiake smiled and arched his hand: "This little brother, we are passing businessmen, we want to stay here for one night, can it be convenient?" ”

The yellow-faced man looked at everyone, and saw that except for the beautiful girl carrying a sword, the rest were all empty-handed, and all of them were young people, and the vigilance in his eyes was a little loose, and then he said: "Now that the activities of the rogues are frequent, your origin is unknown, it is inconvenient to let you in, please leave quickly!" ”

"Little brother, you also said that the activities of the rogue are frequent now, if it is late today, we are really desperate, so it is convenient, right?" Xu Xiake said again.

When the yellow-faced man heard this, he couldn't bear it, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You wait here, I'll go and ask my father to make a decision!" ”

"Thank you, little brother!" Xu Xiake smiled and arched his hand.

Leaning slightly, the yellow-faced man led a middle-aged man in his forties to the Zhaimen, the middle-aged man guarded the fence and looked down, leaned over and asked, "Where are you coming from and where are you going?" ”

"Village chief, we are passing merchants, going from Datong Mansion to Xi'an Mansion, passing through here, wanting to spend the night for a night, there is a lot of trouble!" Xu Xiake explained.

When the village chief heard this, he looked at Xu Xiake carefully, and saw that he was polite and polite, not like a villain, so he nodded and said: "Okay, but I want to remind you that we often have trouble here, and if there is anything wrong, we can't guarantee your safety!" ”

"Thank you for the reminder from the village chief, let's stay overnight and leave!" Xu Xiake said with a smile.

The village chief instructed the yellow-faced man to open the gate of the village and lead everyone into the village; Xu Xiake expressed his gratitude again, and after inquiring, he learned that this place belongs to the territory of Mizhi County, Yansui Prefecture, and the village is called Lijia Station.

The village chief's name is Li Shan, who is the patriarch of the Li clan at Lijia Station, and the yellow-faced man is his son Huang Wazi, who likes to dance with guns and sticks when he is young; used to be a post station, because of the famine in the past two years, plus the spread of the rogues, the post station was also closed, Huang Wazi came back to help the village train Zhuang Ding, resist the rogues, and protect the hometown.

While talking, the village chief led everyone to his house to settle down, and the village chief's house entered two courtyards, which was considered a large family in the village, enough for everyone to rest; The wife died of illness in the early years, and there were only father and son in the family.

Leaning slightly, the village chief carried a pot of boiling water, brought more than a dozen nests, and said with a guilty face: "Don't dislike a few people, now I can only take out these to entertain you!" ”

Xu Xiake expressed his gratitude, now to be able to eat Wowotou, it is already very good, Shaanxi has been dry for many years, the crops have not been harvested, and I don't know how many people starve to death every day.

At this moment, a rapid gong suddenly sounded outside the village! The village chief was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly ran out, suddenly remembering that there were still guests at home, and came back again, looked at Yuan Wenxin nervously, and said hurriedly: "Quickly hide the girl, the rogue is coming!" ”

Xu Xiake was just about to speak, and the king next to him said: "Mr. and Wen Xin don't go out in the room, a few of us young people will go together to help Zhuang Ding resist the rogue!" ”

"I'll go too!" When Yuan Wenxin heard this, he immediately pulled out the sword under his ribs and said.

"Nonsense, you are a girl who fights and kills all day long, what kind of body do you become, stay honest!" King Shin reprimanded.

"Nope! I'm going, going! Yuan Wenxin did not forgive.

Seeing this, Xu Xiake smiled and said: "Then let's go together and hate the same enemy!" ”

Then he looked at King Shin and nodded, giving him a reassuring smile; So, King Xin no longer insisted, and said solemnly: "Don't come nonsense, you know? ”

"Hmm!" Yuan Wenxin smiled and nodded; So, everyone accompanied the village chief and rushed to the outside of the village together.
