Chapter 263: Wang Xifeng came to beg
Three or five strong men were panicked, Jia Cong accepted the whip of the horse, and gave Sun Fu a look, Sun Fu immediately raised his chin arrogantly, revealing the appearance of a slave and a slave, and the horse whip pointed: "You wait for the small people to have nowhere to live?" ”
Third Brother Wu was a little frightened, and was thinking about replying, when a white-faced and bearded person in the middle arched his hand and said, "Exactly, I don't know what to say?" ”
Jia Cong couldn't stand by coldly, the clay sculpture and wood carving were on the side of the road, very majestic, let the entourage defend him, which gave people a kind of majesty, Sun Fu said compassionately: "My grandfather's new official has taken office, and there is a shortage of a few attendants, are you willing to come in?" ”
Third Brother Wu touched the back of his head in a daze, and roared loudly: "Can you eat enough with your master?" ”
"Hahaha......" Sun Fu looked up to the sky and laughed, Jia Yun didn't feel like laughing, but Liu Xianglian looked like a cold-faced Langjun, not smiling, Jiao Da was also like this, Long Aotian "hehe" a few times, Sun Fu said: "Not only can I eat enough, I have made a contribution to the master, but I also have a reward, rice and meat are available every day......"
"Willing, willing......" Third Brother Wu nodded vigorously, being a horse thief to rebel, that was the last way to be forced to do so, but there was hope, how could the people take such a risk of killing their heads?
The five people bowed their heads, and Sun Fu hesitated: "I just have to make a deed and change my household registration, and the unnecessary trouble must be solved first......
At this time, Jia Cong came forward, he took a closer look at the white-faced bearded man, "Why don't you grow a beard?" Don't see stubble? ”
The man ...... hesitated for a few seconds, and suddenly took off his pants, revealing his scars, but he was not ashamed, and said very normally: "At that time, the king controlled the nine sides, and sent Shuntian Baoding and other people to join the army...... Forgive me, there are more than a dozen ...... in the palace in Caomin Town."
Jia Cong only felt uncomfortable in his heart, in order to avoid military service, there should be not a few self-harm and self-palace in the entire Zhili Province, originally there were also military households in Dashun, and they were forced to recruit soldiers during the special period, and some people wanted to enter the palace as eunuchs, but they couldn't get in if they didn't have anything to do, eunuchs didn't want to be when they wanted, they had to be selected and assessed, and there were not many people who had a relationship to go in.
But this discomfort was only for a moment, Jia Cong didn't have too much compassion, and heard Sun Fu and them laugh a little.
"What's your name?"
"Wu Zhuangyuan ......"
"Hahaha......" Sun Fu smiled as he held his stomach on the horse.
Jia Cong put on a kind smile: "Okay, I just want the two of you, Sun Fu, to go to the town with them to get a deed, and come quickly." The official also knows that you are suffering, and the remaining three people will each give half a penny and go back to make a living......"
"Master Xie Kai ......" Third Brother Wu and Wu Zhuangyuan kowtowed gratefully, and the other three were envious, but they were haggard, and Jia Cong couldn't look down on them, these two were men who raised horses, and their strength and riding skills were weak.
Yumi Town is in front, Sun Fu went with them, Jia Cong and others re-embarked on the road, he saw Jiao Da taking the lead in taking care of the coffin behind, and the porters who picked up the luck were all porters invited by the people, Jia Cong secretly scolded a bad luck, got off the horse, and called Long Aotian to take care of it, and said with a heartache: "Uncle Jiao is an old man, why don't you hire another carriage?" You have always saved the grandfather from the pile of dead, and it is not appropriate to ride a horse......"
Long Aotian, Jia Yun, and Liu Xianglian were all moved, seeing that Jia Cong treated people so well, the anxious atmosphere was also relatively cold, and he shook his head and said: "I'm here to protect Master Cong, not the one who enjoys the blessings, no." ”
Jia Cong gave up, it seems that Jiao Da is quite tough, but he is not going to use it for long, it is okay to put it in Yangzhou to watch the door for You's family, anyway, Jiao Da has no children and no daughters, and it is enough to win people's hearts spiritually and give financial support materially.
Thinking about Jia Yun, Liu Xianglian, and Jiao Da, they are all relatively decent people, and it is not appropriate to disclose the affairs of their own secrets with You for the time being.
The spring breeze blows through the wheat waves on the plains on both sides of the post road, sending the soil and wheat fragrance, and the post station goes southward to the Fenshui Post in Xincheng County, or there are mountains and rocks to block it, or there is a bridge over the river, but fortunately, the post road is often repaired, so as not to delay the trip.
The soil around the town of Yumi in front is fertile, and rice is paid tribute to the palace every year, so it is called Yumi Town, You Shi instructed the horseman to stop here for a moment, and then Sun Fu, who took a step on the front foot, took the third brother Wu and Wu Zhuangyuan to the town to complete the deed and came back, and gave them armor and weapons, and the town bought bacon and rice porridge to settle them, and You Shi beckoned to him again: "Go buy a few catties of deer blood, horse whips or something, fry them and bring them." ”
Sun Fu was secretly surprised in his heart, and took the money quietly on his face, and when he came back to catch up, they had already gone out of the town, and they were about to arrive in Xiongxian County, You Shi looked at Jia Cong's side, Sun Fu handed the soup in the brocade box to Jia Cong, and whispered: "Grandma ordered." ”
"Hmm." Jia Cong was disrespectful, secretly praised You's carefulness, drank while riding a horse, he didn't know what kind of meat it was, the soup was full of boiled crumbs, only tasted the aroma of meat, after drinking the roadside threw off the bowl and assorted box, smacked his lips, raised his horsewhip, and looked at the North China Plain, Jia Shiyu was arrogant: "It's good to have a woman to take care of outside, otherwise how to endure the pain of thousands of miles of travel?" ”
"Master Cong." Sun Fu's chick pecked the rice, and thought to himself: "Is it because Master Cong can't do it, or is the grandmother dissatisfied......
Out of Xiong County, Jia Cong and his entourage ran around during the day for several days and rested peacefully at night, passing through Renqiu, Hejian, Xianxian, and Fucheng.
Speaking of the itinerary in Zhili Province alone, Jia Cong saw a man who drove horses, and asked Long Aotian, Long Aotian also said that there were horse thieves dressed in disguise, and the group of horse thieves in Taihang Mountain belonged to the Wenxiang Sect, a branch of the White Lotus Sect, and the leader was a woman.
Because the gangs of the Wenxiang Sect have not been rampant in recent years, and the number of people is not large, the government has not taken action, and Taihang Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The reason is very simple, the magistrates of Shuntian Mansion and Hejian Mansion will not seriously report this kind of matter to the emperor, because it is related to their black yarn hats and lives.
Jia Cong was thinking about a more serious problem, based on what he had seen and heard along the way, this was a bomb and a landmine, once the magistrates of Zhili once again provoked a major popular uprising, Hebei bordered Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan, and the Yellow River was seriously flooded, and if there was a drought again, it was hard to imagine that there would be no rebel riots.
After all, it has been a hundred years since Dashun Dingding, and the Qingming and simplicity of the founding of the country have slowly disappeared, and the King of Qin is on the three sides of Shaanxi, and the military power is in hand, this signal is too dangerous.
On the seventh day of the second lunar month, Jia Cong walked out of Zhili Province and arrived at Dezhou Mansion in Shandong.
The post station here is called Ande Post Station, and there is a Wei River in front of the post station, and they have to cross the chain bridge over the Wei River to enter the Taiping Post Station in Enxian County.
Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the Grand Canal, Caoyun is the Wei River with different places and so on.
Walking into the territory of Shandong, you can see the cotton plants all over the mountains, Jia Cong rested at the Ande Station, the second difference in entering Shandong is the hospitality specifications, originally with Jia Cong's seven-grade imperial history, the meals and rooms are also seven-grade, but they were carried to the four-grade specifications by Yicheng, Jia Cong didn't say anything, and enjoyed it with peace of mind.
That night, Jia Cong asked about the itinerary of the Wang family, and Yi Cheng replied: "I only learned a few days ago that the adults sent someone to ask, but unfortunately they had already passed Texas at that time, and they could not intercept it in Gaotang Prefecture, and they couldn't run out of Dongchang no matter how far they went......
It's good to be able to intercept it in Dongchang, Yu Lu Baoer's speed is also a little slower, fortunately, it's not waste, Jia Cong nodded, "You set the specifications of the four grades?" Or ......"
"Serving my lord, this is the practice of the lords of the prefecture and county, and the previous imperial history is also like this......"
Yicheng withdrew, and Sun Fu went back and forth: "The former grandmother Lian asked to see ......"
Without waiting for Jia Cong to agree, Wang Xifeng had already come in dressed up and dressed up.
