Chapter 69: The Post Station Meets the Gentleman
At the boundary of Yingzhou, Li Yun and others delayed for a few days, a month later than the scheduled time.
After leaving Yingchuan, the three of them went all the way north, and passed through several county seats, all of which were fine, and they left after staying for a few days.
Along the way, there has always been a problem that plagues Cheng Chumo, leaving him from Yingzhou is chattering, and Li Yun has never answered the question.
"I wondered, how did you know it was going to rain in seven days? Don't say anything that touches the heavens, I don't believe in this kind of deceptive nonsense. Cheng Chumo kept thinking about this question.
What prays for blessing and rain, what moves the heavens, those so-called ghosts and gods have always been things that Cheng Chu scoffed at.
"Is it luck?" Lin Qingzhu asked puzzled.
Cheng Chumo asked rhetorically: "If it's lucky, why didn't it rain for a year, but it rained on the last day?" It's not as simple as luck. ”
Both of them shook their heads in confusion, Li Yun looked at their confused expressions, asked many times along the way, and did not hide it, he smiled and said, "All this is for Brother Tie Niu." ”
"Thank me?"
Since going to Yingzhou, Cheng Chumo has become a soy sauce player, and he has basically never done anything, how can he suddenly thank himself? Could it be that he is a lucky star?
"Of course I want to thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have guessed that it would rain in Yingzhou City." Li Yun deliberately played tricks on the entrance.
"How?"
"Let me ask you, did you have severe pain in various parts of your body some time ago?" Li Yun said.
Cheng Chumo nodded and said, "This is an old disease, the root of the disease left by accidentally falling into the icy river water when I was practicing martial arts when I was a child. ”
"That's it, your disease is called rheumatism, and it is most taboo to wet and cold weather, every time this kind of weather is painful, it will be unbearable, yes or no?" Li Yun asked.
"Yes, but because of my rheumatism, I decided it was going to rain?" Cheng Chumo asked again.
"Not really, but because of your rheumatism, I know that the humidity in the air is getting bigger and bigger, but there is no rain in Yingzhou for a year, and the earth is so dry that there is not even a little water, but how to increase water vapor in the air?" Li Yun explained, "So there is only one explanation, there will be heavy rain in the near future, so I will set up the altar to ask for rain." ”
Although the two of them didn't understand what water vapor or air was, they understood that before the heavy rain came, there would be more water, so it induced Cheng Chumo's rheumatism.
"And how do you determine the time of seven days?"
"I don't know when it's going to rain, so I'm betting, my luck." Li Yun said.
In ancient times, there were no advanced radar satellites, so it was impossible to know that it would rain that day, and Li Yun could only bet on his luck, but he won the bet, and it rained heavily from the sky to save the people of Yingzhou.
In the same way, he also won the love of the people, and the name of "Virtuous King" is the best praise for him.
After these words, Cheng Chumo was even more impressed by Li Yun, and had to admire Li Yun's wisdom and courage.
"When I'm at home, don't say I don't eat for seven days, even if I don't eat for a day, I'll be hungry and dizzy, you can go on a hunger strike for seven days, you should be really a man." Cheng Chumo said.
"It's just that you haven't been hungry." Li Yun said earnestly.
Speaking of which, Li Yun suddenly remembered his past, when he was a child, he wandered around with his mother, and it was common for him to starve and freeze, not to mention seven days, he had never eaten for seventeen days.
"Mother, I miss you." Li Yun muttered to himself.
The main purpose of going to Linzi this time was to investigate the killing of Le Yao.
And that person can clearly know that Le Yao and Fang Xuanling will definitely not be good stubble, in addition to this, Li Yun also wants to understand one thing, that is, whose son is he?!
……
"It's about to be in Linzi, let's settle down at the post station tonight." Li Yun said.
Cheng Chumo and Lin Qingzhu have no opinion, it is the mountains and fields right now, there is no inn, and they can only stop at the post station.
Throughout the ages, the post station was a place for officials to pass on the post and provide accommodation and rest for officials in the past.
However, Li Yun is out on patrol in micro-service, and it is inconvenient to reveal his identity, but fortunately, Lin Qingzhu has a letter from the imperial court, and she went to Linzi, and the officials of the post station did not dare to slack off.
After coming to the post station, after reading the letter from the imperial court, the post station official hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Lord Lin who had just taken up his post, and the lower officials were not welcomed." ”
Lin Qingzhu whispered: "Prepare three rooms, prepare some food, and no wine." ”
"Xia Guan understands."
Subsequently, the post station officials led them to find three rooms, and Li Yun and the others settled down to rest.
And the dishes are also prepared, not as rich as the tavern, the dishes are very simple, four dishes and one soup.
Li Yun and others also knew that the imperial court had clear regulations on the food at the post station, and it should not be exceeded.
Moreover, the post station is a place to rest temporarily, not a place for pleasure such as an inn.
After the three of them had eaten, they were about to rest, when the little official of the post station respectfully brought in a large bowl of chicken soup.
Li Yun asked puzzledly, "Where is the chicken soup?" ”
The post station stipulates that the meals eaten are all regulations, and stewing chicken soup is even more impossible.
The little official said respectfully: "The adults don't know, this is the house that the people don't want, the chicken soup didn't drink a sip, and it was a waste to pour it out, so I opened the meat for the three adults and improved the food."
Li Yun didn't care if it was leftover from someone else's food, but he cared about it and asked, "Lift people up?" Who is he?! ”
"The adults don't even know the person who lifts up, but his uncle is the nephew of Pei Lin who is the emperor of the court, and he just won the lift this year, and he is drinking at the post station to celebrate." The little official said.
Li Yunke didn't care who his relatives were, he only consulted: "The post station is the place of the official family, and he has no official status, how dare he drink in the post station to celebrate." ”
The little official was also helpless, he said: "Hey! Adults don't know, it's common to hold people up and drink and eat at the post station, who made his uncle Pei Lian? How dare we provoke? ”
Pei Lin is Emperor Gaozu's favored minister, and the official worships the prime minister, how dare these post officials provoke Pei Lian's nephew? When people come to the post station, they have to eat and drink well.
Although Gao Changgong is only a lifter, even local officials will be afraid of him.
"Presumptuous! It's really a strange story through the ages, drinking wine and eating meat at the post station, it's really lawless, this is the place where the empire is preaching, how can he be allowed to act recklessly? ”
The little official made a booing voice and said, "The lord is angry, and the exalted person is next door, it's not good for him to hear it." ”
Li Yun put down the dishes and chopsticks, and did not embarrass the little officials, but walked to the next door, the door was lightly closed, and the scene inside could be seen.
Through the gap, I saw that the exalted people were looking for fun at the post station, not only drinking and eating meat, but also looking for women! It is simply a desecration of the sacred place of the inn.
Li Yun's anger came up instantly, he kicked open the door, and said angrily: "Dare to make trouble, dare to have fun in the post station." ”
