Chapter 150: Return to Nanjing (Part 2)
The red tent is surging overnight, Wushan**, the bed is boundless, and the red candles in the room are flickering, as if they are shy. However, when the power must be exhausted, the movement in the room can be stopped at the fourth watch.
Mingjin collects his troops and fights again in the coming day!
The next morning, Xie Wan was still asleep, Cao Wei got up slowly, got dressed with difficulty, and then moved towards the door of the mansion with a little support.
As soon as I arrived in the front yard, I saw Qian Ning also walking out with his waist on his back, and he immediately felt very cordial, as if he saw a friendly soldier fighting on another battlefield, and stepped forward and whispered: "How many days did you sleep?" ”
"Three watches!"
"Then you are still useless, this official is about four more geniuses to pull in the horse and collect the troops."
“…… The adults are wise and martial, and the subordinates are not as good as them! ”
Ren Hao and Zhang Meng were already waiting at the gate of Cao's Mansion, and when they saw Cao Wei and Qian Ning supporting each other out, they couldn't help but look at each other. Ren Hao stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "The Qincha honor guard has been prepared, and the pacification envoy can set off at any time." ”
Cao Wei said angrily: "Brother Ren is really outside, what is your name?" Let's just call each other brothers! ”
Ren Hao was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Xian is now a pacification envoy, and the foolish brother has lived in vain for so many years, and he is ashamed." Wealth without forgetting old friends, it is really benevolent and righteous......"
Qian Ning muttered on the side: "The righteous and righteous adults don't care, if you really become a subordinate, the adults will be embarrassed to reach out and ask for silver in the future......"
Ren Hao was shocked in his heart, and clenched his fists and said, "My subordinates will meet the Lord of the Suppression Envoy!" ”
Cutting off people's money is like killing their parents, Cao Wei glared at Qian Ning fiercely, and the killing intent in his eyes splashed, so frightened that Qian Ning shrank his neck.
The Qincha represents the emperor, and the Ministry of Rites does not dare to slack off, and all kinds of Qincha ceremonial guards are readily available. The two lieutenants sounded the gong at the front to open the way, shouting at pedestrians to avoid it.
The gong sounded seven times, indicating that the county prince traveled by sedan chair or line; The gong sounded nine times, which was the travel of officials at the provincial level; The gong is sounded eleven times, and the officials at the provincial and provincial levels travel, and the emperor travels thirteen times.
Cao Wei traveled on a mission to represent His Majesty the Emperor, but after all, he was not the real emperor on patrol, so the captain sounded the gong eleven times, indicating that the civil and military officials, military and civilians were all out of the way.
Officials travel, disturbers, smoke!
Seven or eight wrestlers held signs, with the words "avoidance" and "silence", and next to Cao Wei's carriage, there were two captains holding flags, a yellow dragon flag, embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, magnificent; Another banner reads: "Qin Zhaobei Town Fu Envoy Fengzheng Doctor Cao Inspection".
Zhang Meng set up the carriage, his face was full of excitement, Cao Wei had already told him about the danger of this trip last night, but he was not only not afraid, but extremely excited.
In his opinion, the greater the danger, the greater the opportunity, and a good man will immediately kill the thief to take credit, not to mention that since he followed this official, he has never suffered a loss, and he can't be promoted and increased.
So he completely regarded this trip as an opportunity to make a contribution, and told his mother-in-law in advance that he would change a big house for his family when he came back.
Ren Hao and Qian Ning rode behind the carriage, enjoying the awe-inspiring eyes of the people on both sides of the street, grinning, like two big fools. He was followed by one hundred and ten captains wearing flying fish suits, riding a high-headed horse, carrying an embroidered spring knife at his waist, and his physique was extremely strong, and he was the elite of the elite in Beizhen Fusi.
The guard of honor marched through the prefecture and county, and officials from all over the country welcomed the visit of the minister. Cao Wei made a brief tour of every place he went, huh...... The Ming Dynasty sang and danced, there was not a single beggar on the street, and the people had joy on their faces, and they got along well with the local officials, like a family.
Cao Wei encouraged the local officials, and the local squires offered local specialties to comfort Qincha's hard work. In the end, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.
Then the Qincha Yi team rushed to the next place, all the way through Cangzhou, across Dezhou, Lintai'an, a carriage became three, which was filled with local products collected by the Qincha Lord from all over the way, such as Cangzhou's golden silk jujube, Dezhou's golden silk jujube, Tai'an's specialty is not red jujube, but a bundle of mountain ginseng.
No matter what it is, it is some of the hearts of the local people, and the Lord Qincha does not refuse to come, and accepts them all. As for how many Cheng Yi were secretly received, it is impossible to test, but judging from the smile on the face of Lord Qincha along the way, it must have been a lot of money.
After inspecting Xuzhou, Nanjing was already in sight, and the honor guard came to rest in front of the broken temple outside Nanjing. Cao Wei saw the broken temple again, and sighed, there was no blood in the broken temple, there was a big iron pot hanging in the middle, and there were some unburned firewood piled up below.
After Qian Ning boiled the hot water, he brewed a cup of hot tea, brought it to Cao Wei, and said, "My lord, it is faster to go to Nanchang from Miaozhou, why do we want to come to Nanjing?" ”
Cao Wei took the tea, took a sip slowly, and said: "After taking a carriage all the way, the bones of this official have long been scattered, let's change the route to Nanjing, and then go to Nanchang from the waterway, so that it can be more comfortable."
Since leaving the Beijing Division, the official has been insecure, so he wants to ask Old Master Xu to come over by the way. ”
Qian Ning said with a bitter face: "My subordinates also feel insecure, and I don't dare to go out alone in the middle of the night to go to the thatched house, I always feel that there are people with bad intentions staring at my subordinates behind, and I even feel that someone is blowing in my ear......"
Cao Wei smashed his mouth and said: "Qian Ning, this is a ghost in your heart, you must have done something wrong, presumably you have also received a lot of black-hearted silver along the way!" ”
Qian Ning sneered and said: "It's all thanks to you, you eat meat on it, and your subordinates can also drink some soup with you." If the adults change to the waterway, the money will not be harvested......"
"It's almost over, if you go all the way down, the imperial history of the court should be impeached, this official still has a little face in His Majesty, but he won't lose his official position, but a group of people will be annoyed by the noise in their ears like flies!"
Qian Ning couldn't help but shudder when he thought of that kind of scene, and hugged his fists and said, "My lord is wise!" ”
"Well, you have to do things in a measured way, many people understand the truth of overreach, but few people can do it, especially in a new workplace like you, you always have to go through a setback to achieve something, fortunately you have a good official like me."
Qian Ning knelt down on one knee and said, "My subordinates, thank you for your cultivation!" ”
"Thank you or not is not about the line, but about the ceremony, thank you for a thousand taels of silver, the official will give you a 20% discount, a full 800 taels, no delay, no arrears ......"
Qian Ning broke out in a cold sweat, clutched his chest and said, "My subordinates still want to go and see the brothers underground, so I'll retire!" ”
Cao Wei looked at Qian Ning's back as he left in a hurry, and was indignant in his heart, as soon as he talked about silver with his subordinates recently, they ran far away, and they couldn't pull it, as if they were facing an extremely ferocious hungry tiger. Could it be that it's because I'm getting older and my face is wrinkled?
Cao Wei took out a small bronze mirror from his arms, and after taking a look at it for a while, he found that his appearance was still very high, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief......
