Chapter 186: A private interview with Weifu
Five days later, it was close to noon.
The ship had arrived in Zhangjiawan in Tongzhou, and Zhou Heng stood on the deck looking at both sides of the canal.
This belongs to the boundary of Tongzhou, Caoyun is the foundation of the country, if Liu Renli will make the political achievements here, the source of the canal is his cornucopia, and the amount of tax and silver is a real political achievement.
"Boss, it's time for us to get off the boat."
There was a call from Qu Ziping behind him, Zhou Heng was seasick these days, and most of Qu Ziping and Xiao Liuzi came over to take care of them, and Desheng and they were sent by Zhou Heng to treat the old man.
Zhou Heng glanced at the location of the cabin, "Let's get off the ship first, let Desheng take someone to clean up the goods, he knows all the quantities best, let's go, and then let the father and daughter leave." ”
Qu Ziping said yes, hurry up to find Desheng, Liu Renli also walked out at this moment, although today's weather is good, but compared with Qingping County, it is still much colder, Liu Renli's nose is frozen red.
"Second brother, this is the boundary of Tongzhou, you can repair it here, and then rush to the capital."
Zhou Heng shook his head, "It's already noon, there are still more than eighty miles from Tongzhou to the capital, after unloading the boat, we hurry up and arrive at night, if these people go to Tongzhou, they will have to stay overnight, you have not yet taken office and do it like this, it is easy to make people think more, or obey the arrangement of the prince." ”
Liu Renli nodded, what he thought was too simple, it was indeed as Zhou Heng said.
"Then I'll get off the boat first, and we should say goodbye to the prince."
Qu Ziping ran over from behind and saluted Liu Renli and Zhou Heng.
"Boss, it has been arranged later, Doctor Huang, they will stay with the father and daughter now, and wait for us to evacuate them before getting off the boat."
"What is the state of the old man?"
"I can already walk on my own, and I said that I was going to come over and kowtow to the boss to thank him, but I was stopped by Dr. Huang."
Zhou Heng nodded, Desheng arranged it correctly.
"Okay, let's get off the boat, I see that Uncle Xiao has already helped the son of the world down, and it is estimated that Uncle Xiao has arranged the carriage and horses here."
As he spoke, a few people got off the boat, and sure enough, a row of carriages was ready, and as the goods at the stern of the ship were unloaded, they began to be loaded in an orderly manner.
Zhou Heng's carriage Xue Boss personally watched, they came from Qingping County, and they brought these two carriages, after all, they were built according to Zhou Heng's habits, and the wheels were transformed to make them light and quite comfortable.
One of them is particularly wide, and there is a door at the back that can be opened, which is prepared for transporting stretchers, and Zhou Heng is reluctant to leave it, so he brought it with him.
Liu Renli met Zhu Yunmo, with a hint of hesitation on his face, Zhu Yunmo looked Liu Renli up and down, and then asked puzzledly:
"Lord Liu, what's wrong? Don't worry, I'll send someone to send you over, this Tongzhou is very close to the capital, otherwise you can go back to the capital with me first, and then go to work. ”
Liu Renli shook his head, "Thank you for the kindness of the prince, I will hire a car with Zhang Huaiyuan and them in a while, just go alone, I don't want to rush to take office, although I have heard of this Tongzhou, but I don't know a lot of things here, or I can have a bottom in my heart when I visit it in person." ”
Zhou Heng looked at Liu Renli in surprise, he didn't expect Liu Renli to have this awareness, he wanted to manage a state well, which is different from the county order, visit the following counties more, land, crops, population, shops, all these are counted, and many problems can be found.
This is the last time after Zhang Fuling left, when Zhou Heng and Liu Renli were eating, they said to this once, but I didn't expect him to really care, this is a good thing, but he will suffer some hardships.
Liu Renli looked at Zhu Yunmo, and then continued:
"What I'm worried about now is how to settle Meng Xiaoyou's father and son and the imperial doctor on the ship, after all, it is really inconvenient for us to investigate and take them, if we send them to the capital, ......"
Zhu Yunmo waved his hand, "Don't worry about this, I'll send someone to send them to Master Zhang Fuling, just how to deal with it, it's better to let Lord Zhang deal with this." ”
Liu Renli saluted again, "Then it's bothering the world, I'll set off at this moment, starting from the canal ferry in Tongzhou, all the way to the west." ”
Zhou Heng raised his hand and motioned for him to stop.
"Big brother, don't worry, I brought two carriages, you take a big one, so it won't be troublesome to go around in Tongzhou, there is a charcoal stove on it, there are tables and chairs, and then I will prepare some bedding and food for you, so I can rest assured."
After speaking, without waiting for Liu Renli to refute, he turned around and waved his hand at Boss Xue, who had just got the carriage and horse down and hurriedly ran over.
"What's the matter?"
"Give the largest carriage to Lord Liu, and then you arrange for two guys from Lingshan Village to follow them, people here are not familiar with the road, it is better to bring two more clever and skilled people to be safe, they have to check the local situation."
Boss Xue nodded, and instantly realized.
"I understand that it is a private visit to Weifu, I will arrange it, spread a thick quilt on the cart, prepare more food, and bring two pots of wine, the weather is too cold, it can be better to drink a sip."
After talking to himself, he turned and left.
Liu Renli raised his hand and patted Zhou Heng's shoulder, I don't know how to say a lot of things, this second brother is worth it.
"Don't say anything else, Xiu'er will be handed over to you, take care!"
After saying that, Liu Renli took Zhang Huaiyuan and Zhou Yi'an and walked towards the carriage, and the person Xue Boss was looking for was very shrewd, jumped out of the car and bowed respectfully to Zhou Heng, and then drove away.
Su Xiaoxiao dragged Liu Xiu'er and Chun Tao to stand behind, Liu Xiu'er didn't cry, just kept waving in the direction where the carriage disappeared.
"Master, the goods have been loaded into the car, let's go too!"
Zhu Yunmo nodded, just took two steps and paused, looking at Xiao Bo.
"The woman, have you found out?"
Pang Xiao shook his head, "I can't find out, the old slave will send someone to follow them, as for whether to return to their hometown or what to do, these can only be known after investigation." ”
Su Xiaoxiao stiffened her nose, "What a poor woman, I heard her play the piano and sing last night, don't talk about men, I don't feel free to give up when I hear it, and I don't have any money on me, I take my father back to my hometown, and I don't know who I can meet to help?" ”
Zhu Yunmo glanced sideways, and motioned Pang Xiao to send some silver money to the woman in white, don't look at it as if these people were bullying the people.
Everyone got into the car, and just as they were about to leave, Boss Xue knocked on the car door, and Zhou Heng went out and asked.
"What's wrong?"
"The woman is coming!"
Zhou Heng was stunned, then frowned and looked behind him from the car window, and sure enough, the woman in white ran towards the convoy, and the old man was standing behind, constantly covering his mouth and nose and coughing.
Judging from Desheng's judgment, this old man's illness is not like pretending, after all, obstructive emphysema takes time, not a day can be formed, and the old man is extremely infected, although it has been relieved after a few days of treatment, after all, he is old, and he still has some cough.
In such a cold weather, when I returned to the capital, I may really feel that my life is short, so I feel homesick!
Therefore, Zhou Heng didn't target this woman and the old man anymore, just don't disturb and don't affect it, but at this moment, the woman is still wearing thin clothes, her face looks a little urgent, and she keeps looking at the carriage from carriage to carriage, as if she is looking for someone again.
Zhou Heng took a break in his hand, opened a wicker box on the table, and took out the handkerchief and jade pendant, is she here to find this?
