Chapter 21: Tailgating Out of the City (Alliance Leader Plus 4)
"Wait a minute, if you go like this, it will alarm those people, and if the estimate is right, those people will hide nearby, observing the movement around them!" Zhang Junping hurriedly called Cao Xi.
"So-and-so, call the people of the Imperial City Division to investigate, strictly investigate, and pull out all these beasts and cut them all!" Gao Zunfu stood up and prepared to call someone to inform the Imperial City Division.
The Gao family has this confidence, the Gao family general, that is more awesome than the Yang family general, the folding family general, and the breeder general, and seven people in five generations were crowned kings.
It can be said that the Gao family is the first powerful family other than the royal family, and even Empress Liu has to let the Gao family score three points.
Originally, the Zhang family could also have this glory, but it was a pity that under the influence of Zhao Tingmei, and the previous generations of the Zhang family were not prosperous, so although he was the founder of the country and the famous Confucian general of the Great Song Dynasty, he could not be called the Zhang family general.
"Brother Gao, slow down! With you and my brother here, why do you need to call it the Imperial City Division? Zhang Junping hurriedly called Gao Zunfu.
"Boan, what do you want to do?"
"Wouldn't it be boring for you and my brother to reunite, just eating and drinking?
You and I are both military generals, and going to the Qinglou to drink and compose poems is not my specialty.
Why don't you use the thief's head to celebrate the reunion of you and my brother! Zhang Junping squinted his eyes slightly, the corners of his mouth rose, and he put on a confident smile.
Zhang Junping thought in his heart that it was indeed a hidden plot, walking the rivers and lakes, and being careful when encountering monks, beggars, women and children, that is, monks, Taoist priests, beggars, women and children, since these five types of people dare to walk the rivers and lakes, they must have some ability.
In other words, these five types of people are also the most likely to trigger hidden plots.
Disabled beggars, this plot is not small! Zhang Junping's heart was hot.
"Good! Bo'an said well, it's boring to go to the Qinglou to eat and drink, and it's just what I want to celebrate with the thief's head! Cao Xi was the first to shout.
"That's great!"
"How? Does Bo'an have a charter? ”
They are all hot-blooded young people, young men who are not afraid of heaven and earth, and no one thinks that it is wrong to do anything about Zhang Junping's proposal, but happily applauds.
"You and my brother continue to eat and drink here, and there is no need to do anything else, just keep an eye on the beggar!
In the evening, they always have to go back to the lair, and I'll follow!
Even if it is the tiger's den in Longtan, you and my brothers can turn him upside down. Zhang Junping smiled slightly.
"Good! Bo'an is really smart, so he does what Bo'an says! ”
"I agreed, but I didn't bring a weapon when I ate wine this time!" Gao Zunfu said regretfully.
"You and my brother kill a few thieves, and do you still need weapons?" Cao Xi said nonchalantly.
After making a decision, the four brothers opened their minds to eat and drink and chat, but from time to time their eyes would look out the window, the beggar who was leaning on the side of the street begging.
"Bo'an, you are a little impulsive, how can you resign? Is this Jinshi so easy to test? Cao Xi talked about Zhang Junping's entrance examination, and he had some complaints.
Cao Xi followed his father on the border since he was a child, and he didn't read much, that is, he could read letters, so he thought that Zhang Junping's admission to the Jinshi was a betrayal of the military general's family.
"Haha, brother of the Cao family, you also know that our generals have always been looked down upon by literati, and they scolded us for being thieves and soldiers behind our backs!
You say, if the thief in their mouth won the top prize in the military examination, what would their faces be? Zhang Junping laughed.
Zhang Junping was admitted to the Jinshi in order to make the family live better and revitalize the family, but he didn't want to be alienated or disgusted by the military general's family.
"Hahaha! I believe that if Bo'an can get the top prize in the examination, the faces of those literati will be very exciting! Cao Xi laughed.
"Gone!" Zhang Junping, Gao Zunfu, and Yang Wenguang kept paying attention to the beggars outside when they were chatting.
Seeing the beggar get up and leave, Zhang Junping beckoned the other three to settle the bill and leave.
"Shopkeeper, keep it on my account!" Walking downstairs, Gao Zunfu casually explained.
"Haole, Gao Langjun, how well did you eat?" The shopkeeper agreed, and his mouth was close to Gao Zunfu.
"Yes, yes, your new dish is very good! Next time! Gao Zunfu casually agreed.
Because the official currency of the Great Song Dynasty was copper coins, it was very inconvenient to trade large amounts, so bookkeeping was derived.
In Bianliang, basically like Zhang Junping, they can eat the entire Bianliang City without a penny. It's all bookkeeping, and the end of the month or when the account is settled.
Just like the four of them just now, even with wine and food, they consumed a total of more than 100 guan, and 100 guan is converted into a weight of 300 kilograms in the next generation.
You say, carrying 300 kilograms of copper coins on your back for a meal, it's not very like words.
Therefore, bookkeeping is not only because people in this era pay attention to reputation and generally do not default on accounts, but also because they are forced by official currency.
Powerful and wealthy businessmen, the cost is high, and in later generations, an eggplant dares to spend the same money, and he can't go out, followed by a carriage pulling copper coins.
But don't say it, it's really not uncommon in the Great Song Dynasty to drive horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, and go out shopping with carts full of copper coins.
Out of Fanlou, Zhang Junping took Gao Zunfu and Yang Wenguang and them to slowly follow behind the beggars, swaying slowly on the street, not standing still, and chatting with the roadside vendors.
In the eyes of the people of this era, Bianliang was very prosperous, and merchants from the south to the north brought goods from all over the world. Some people even exaggerate that as long as there is money in Bianliang, there is nothing that cannot be bought.
The beggar, and the people who followed the beggar behind him to monitor the beggar, didn't expect that the four young people would be full and supportive, and follow a beggar.
The four of them followed the beggar unhurriedly, all the way out of the inner city, to the outer city.
went all the way out of the West City Gate, Gao Zunfu was just about to follow out of the city, Zhang Junping stretched out his hand to grab him, pulled down the side of the road, and chatted with an old man selling steamed buns.
"Old man, what kind of stuffing do you have with this bun?"
"Lang Jun, Xiao Lao'er, this bun has mutton filling, and there is also vegetarian filling! People around here like to eat Xiao Lao'er's buns, how many Lang Jun comes? The old man looked at a few well-dressed young men and asked questions, and hurriedly introduced his buns with a smile.
Vegetarian stuffed buns are not the three fresh stuffing or carrot stuffing that we understand now and other buns without meat, and the vegetarian buns in the Song Dynasty were steamed buns.
"How many do you have? If you want it, you want this basket too! You can go to Zhang's house on Mahang Street and ask for money! ”
"Oops! It turned out to be Zhang Langjun in person, forgive the little old man for his clumsy eyes, he didn't recognize Zhang Langjun, although Zhang Langjun took the bun! The old man who sold steamed buns was not verbose, and handed it to Zhang Junping directly with the basket.
After Zhang Junping finished buying the buns, the group of four people went out of the city gate, only to find that the beggar who was walking alone just now had four more companions around him, all of whom were disabled beggars, and there were two men next to him.
"Thanks to Bo'an for holding me, otherwise I would have leaked my whereabouts just now!" Gao Zunfu rejoiced.
"There are many people in the city, they don't dare to walk together, and when they go out of the city, they must come together! Brother Gao is going to blame himself, let's hurry up! ”
