Chapter 398: Flying Calamity
On the morning of the second day, Fang Jing finally came to the hill not far from the Shunzheng County of Xingzhou Zhishu, the Shunzheng County seat, which was built according to the Jialing River, was only less than 100 meters away from the Jialing Water.
Standing on the surrounding hills, the field of vision is relatively broad, and you can also overlook the entire Shunzheng County, which can be said to be very small, not as good as other counties.
Then, Fang Jing walked in the direction of the county seat, thinking about whether today could stop moving forward, just stay in this county town, rest for an afternoon, and set off tomorrow.
Half an hour later, Fang Jing passed through the south gate and entered the county seat, which was lively and deserted, this was the situation of this county.
Lively refers to the fact that there are many shops on both sides of the streets in the county, but there are few pedestrians, I don't know if it is because the population itself is scarce, or because the people here are not very business? Fang Jing didn't know anything about this, so she could only walk forward, find a guest house to check in, and then ask the innkeeper about the situation.
Nancheng can be said to be the most prosperous area, because here, there is a wharf, although there are some merchants, but there are not many, and in the east, west and north directions, there are basically few shops.
Fang Jing found a relatively remote guest house to stay in in Dongcheng, this guest house, the geographical location is actually built on East Street, but the guests in this guest house are currently Fang Jing alone.
"Shopkeeper, why is your business here so deserted?" Fang Jing sat in the hall of the guest house, asking the shopkeeper who was sitting there and sleeping.
"Alas, there is no way, there are very few people here, plus there was a flood some time ago, there are even fewer people, and most of these merchants are missing, so I have no guests here, but after another month or two, it will be relatively better." After hearing Fang Jing's question, the shopkeeper hurriedly responded to Fang Jing.
"Oh? Why is it better in a month or two? Fang Jing wondered in her heart, is this still a low and peak season? This is not a tourist city, no matter how good the scenery is, people in this era do not have so much time to go out and hang around.
"This guest officer, it seems that you don't know something, in another month or two, we will have a lot of caravans carrying salt, and this person will naturally be a lot more, and the time will last for two or three months." The shopkeeper looked at Fang Jing, and then understood that Fang Jing's dress did not look like people from other nearby states and counties at all, and he looked like a scholar, and then explained to Fang Jing.
"I see." After Fang Jing listened, he probably understood that the caravans transporting salt basically had a fixed time to come, and they would choose spring and autumn, and during these time periods, in this region, it was also a rainy season, and the dried salt had basically been collected into the warehouse.
Fang Jing sat in the shop hall and rested for a while, then went to the room where he was, and after lying down, he slept for a few hours, and then said, he hadn't slept a peaceful sleep in these days, and now, he finally had a place to sleep, and he fell asleep less than half a moment later.
When Fang Jing woke up, it was already sunset, and he went out of the guest house with a long sword, to find some places, to see if there were any restaurants to eat, so as to fill this stomach, and even taste some special meals here.
Came to the vicinity of Nancheng, found a restaurant that looked slightly better, walked inside, and then looked at it and sat down, this restaurant, the lobby is still a little exquisite, although it is not as good as a restaurant, but it is almost less, although there are no guests now, but this cleanliness is definitely more than the restaurant Fang Jing has seen before.
"Is there anything you need for this guest officer?" The guy saw a customer coming to the store, approached him, and asked Fang Jing.
"Man, do you have anything good to eat here? Introduction. "Fang Jing was originally looking for some special food, so naturally he wanted to ask.
"Guest, you're here, I've got bear meat, beef, venison, and some other meats, and of course, some staple food." The guy looked at Fang Jing's dress, he was definitely not a poor person, and he should be a master who was not bad for money, so he loudly introduced the food in the store to Fang Jing.
"Oh? Do you still have bear meat here? Forget it, you can bring me two plates of beef first. After Fang Jing heard this, he felt very strange, such a restaurant, as well as bear meat and beef, this is very rare, beef can also be understood, injured or dead farming cattle, as long as they are registered, killed and eaten, it is okay, but this bear meat is not something that anyone can hunt.
But for Fang Jing, the bear meat still didn't eat it, mainly because he had eaten it before, and the taste was not as good as beef, so he asked the guy for two plates of beef, as for the price, Fang Jing thought that it was not expensive, and it was impossible to exceed Chang'an City.
"Okay, guest wait." After the guy heard this, after responding loudly, he went to the stove room and prepared the meal, as for the staple food, Fang Jing didn't ask for it, and the guy didn't bother to ask, Fang Jing looked at the departing guy, as if he was very excited, in Fang Jing's eyes, it is estimated that it is only because there are no guests to eat, and it is not easy to come to such a guest, so he is so happy.
After a short while, two plates of beef were served, Fang Jing took the chopsticks and tasted it, feeling that the taste was average, it could only be said that the salt was in place, but this taste could only be described as ordinary.
Two plates of beef, even if it is not delicious, Fang Jing will finish it, which is a good habit for Fang Jing, not wasted.
"Man, how much." After Fang Jing finished eating, he was about to check out and leave, seeing that the sun was about to go down, he had to hurry back to the guest house, otherwise there would be a curfew, and there would be a lot of trouble.
"Guest officer, your two plates of bear meat have a total of 100 yuan." The guy said to Fang Jing with a smile, waiting for Fang Jing to give money.
Fang Jing was stunned on the spot, thinking that he had heard it wrong, or that the guy had said it wrong, not to mention a hundred yuan, it didn't seem that this meat was bear meat, he seemed to have ordered two plates of beef.
"Man, I just ate two plates of beef, not bear meat, man, you're right?" Fang Jing opened his mouth and said to the guy.
"Guest officer, what you eat is two plates of bear meat, a total of 100 yuan." The guy still smiled and explained to Fang Jing, but this smile, looking at Fang Jing's eyes, how did he feel like he was a fool?
"Man, are you sure I'm eating bear meat instead of beef? Even two plates of bear meat aren't worth a hundred dollars, right? Fang Jing asked again, and after comparing it back and forth, Fang Jing finally understood what the source of excitement was before the guy left just now, which was to slaughter himself as a piglet.
"Guest officer, what you eat is two plates of bear meat, and it is the meat of the king of bears, which is naturally a little expensive." The guy's smile made Fang Jing a little unhappy, and what was even more unhappy was the words that came out of the guy's mouth.
If you follow the previous Fang Jing, you would just shoot yourself to the ground, but now, the rule you have set for yourself is that you can't use your ability at will to walk this Tang Dynasty as an ordinary person.
But now, this kind of thing has happened, is this considered a stealer? Or is it a bully? Fang Jing wanted to laugh in her heart, a small restaurant, dare to do this, then this restaurant must be relied on in Shunzheng County, otherwise, how could it be possible to do this? Fang Jing wanted to see what this lively show was like, anyway, he was bored all the way, and if there was a good show today, he could also watch it.
Moreover, Fang Jing also wanted to know, how many such things still happened in this world, if he hadn't met himself and was an ordinary person, then he would have to give the hundred yuan of money and spend money to avoid disasters.
"Money, I don't have it, I ate the meat, is it bear meat, you know in your heart, if your restaurant wants to deceive customers, then I will go to the county government to sue the official." Fang Jing stared at this guy and shouted loudly.
"Yo? Sue the official, you ate our bear meat and didn't give money, you still want to sue the official? We're really not afraid of you, so we'll either give you money or wait for the servants to come. After listening to Fang Jing's words, the man was very unhappy in his heart, stopped his smiling appearance, and changed his hateful face.
"Whoever wants to sue the official, I am the official." Just as Fang Jing was about to speak, three officials came in from outside the store and asked the two people in the store loudly.
Fang Jing looked at the three people who came in from outside the store, thinking to herself, this can't be hidden a long time ago, right? As soon as I said that I was going to sue the official, you came to the door, where is the office passing through here.
Fang Jing stared at these three yachas, thought for a moment, and decided to make a big move, he wanted to see if it was these yacha behind this restaurant, or if there were any big people appearing.
"I want to sue the official, sue this restaurant for bullying customers, two plates of beef will charge me a hundred yuan, and say that I said to eat the meat of the king of bears, three yacha, please take me to the county yamen, I want to beat the drum." Fang Jing shouted loudly with an angry face, no matter if anyone in the vicinity heard it, anyway, it was to express the state of a normal person, so as to make this matter bigger.
"The three big brothers, this guest officer, come to my store to eat two plates of meat of the king of bears, a hundred yuan, this is still a discount, the three big brothers also know, we have always been like this here, this guest officer is dressed up, and he has a good sword in his hand, he must be a rich family, and it is not normal for rich people to eat two plates of bear meat." The man also explained loudly to the three yachas, and kept winking.
"Who's coming to my store to make trouble?" At this time, a rich middle-aged man walked in from outside the door, spoke loudly, and then followed by two entourage.
"The owner, it's this person, who didn't give money after eating two plates of bear meat in our store, and said that he would sue the official." The guy hurriedly greeted him, pointed at Fang Jing and said loudly.
"Oh? There are also people who come to my store to eat bear meat and don't give money, and the three of them don't go up and catch it, but they have a sword in their hands, this person must be a bandit, you have to be careful. The rich middle-aged man looked at Fang Jing, shouted loudly at the three yachas, pointed at Fang Jing, and commanded the three yachas.
After hearing this, the three yacha immediately surrounded Fang Jing, took out the rope they carried, and tied up Fang Jing, the long sword in his hand had been taken away, Fang Jing was silent, staring at the rich middle-aged man, thinking in his heart, is this rich middle-aged man their dependence? Maybe there's bigger fish to follow, and wait.
"Hurry up, send it to the prison, and ask the county order to have a good trial tomorrow, this bandit dares to come to my Shunzheng County, I must let him take a good look, our Shunzheng County is not a place where he can come." The rich middle-aged man looked at Fang Jing and seemed to have the appearance that I was the county commander.
Fang Jing watched him perform, the better the performance, the bigger the matter would be, in the end, whether he lived or died, but it was not he who had the final say, but Fang Jing who judged.
After listening to what the rich middle-aged man said, the three yacha immediately escorted Fang Jing out of the door of the restaurant and walked in the direction of the prison, as for how, Fang Jing didn't know, anyway, he was watching a play now, but he had become a play in this play.
Half an hour later, they came to a prison guarded by soldiers, and after the three yamen said a few words to the guards, they escorted Fang Jing into the prison.
But when Fang Jing entered, he realized that in this prison, the smell was really unpleasant, and not only did it smell bad, but it was also a little dirty, where is this prison, this is the pigsty, Fang Jing's own pigsty is much cleaner than this prison.
"You let me in, come in here, you don't have any money, you don't want to come out, you deserve us to get rich, hahahaha." The three officials escorted Fang Jing to a cell, then closed the cell door, spoke loudly, looked like a villain, and left with laughter.
