Chapter 813: Seeking the Near and Far (Part 2)
Shen Xi said: "Brother Bohu, this is written in black and white, both sides can sign and draw and sit down, you don't want to repay the debt, right?" ”
Tang Yin shouted: "You planted a false accusation out of thin air, I want to sue the official mansion, let the prefect and the prefect make the decision for me, let me go!" Hear no, let go! ”
Shen Xi sneered and shook his head: "Even if you go to the official mansion, it is a matter of course to repay debts, Brother Bohu should calm down...... Come on, send Tang Jieyuan to the guest room to rest, but you have to watch it, if the person is lost, take you and wait for it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
When the people got out of the firewood room, Tang Yin still shouted loudly, he owed a hundred taels for no reason, and now he was forcibly kidnapped by Shen Xi, even if he was down, he couldn't stand such humiliation.
But the IOU was still signed by himself, which made him feel very depressed, and thought: "Could it be that I borrowed money from him in a daze after I got drunk?" ”
With great puzzlement between her eyebrows, Yu Niang approached Shen Xi and asked, "Lord Shen, which one is this singing?" ”
"Master Yu, I'll go to Suzhou to chase an old account, it's in line with the law, right?" Shen Xi asked with a straight face.
"As Lord Shen said, it is natural to repay debts, but ...... Why did Tang Xie Yuan borrow a hundred yuan in the first place? ”
Yu Niang had no doubts about Shen Xi's actions, but Shen Xi's face changed three times a day, which made her quite puzzled. Shen Xi first said that he was going to visit his old friends and buy paintings by the way, but the result was to go to drink together, and then kidnapped people for Tang Yin's good, and now he tied people back and said that he wanted to collect debts.
Shen Xi said: "That jade is in charge, this official IOU is forged?" ”
"The slave family has no intention of doing so."
Yu Niang felt that Shen Xi was scheming, but now she couldn't discuss with Shen Xi whether this IOU was true or false, and even Tang Yin couldn't directly refute that the IOU was fake before, this matter was confusing and weird. It is true that Tang Yin was kidnapped, as for whether Shen Xi wants to collect debts or let Tang Yin do something, she doesn't know.
Shen Xi walked out of the firewood room, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's really a good weather tonight...... Prepare fragrant soup, and the official should bathe and change clothes. ”
Someone next to him let out a "poof" laugh, and then the man asked in a coquettish voice, "There are so many things, do you want to fast?" ”
It's not someone else, it's the sharp-toothed Xi'er, and next to her is Yun Liu, who is pulling her sleeves. Yun Liu complained: "Don't be rude to Lord Shen. ”
Shen Xi said: "On the way, the official has no intention of fasting, so he should wait until he arrives in Wuzhou!" ”
After speaking, Shen Xi went upstairs with his toes on his toes, and Tang Yin's roar was faintly heard in the post station, but soon Tang Yin's mouth was blocked, because his noise affected the rest of others.
Tieing Tang Yin back was Shen Xi's last resort, he knew that even if Tang Yin was down, he had no intention of serving the court, because Tang Dacai was arrogant, even if he had to bend down for reality, it would be impossible for him to help others. Shen Xi "fulfilled" him, aren't you psychologically unbearable, then you should treat yourself as forced, and you have to serve me in order to repay your debts, and slowly you will get used to it.
This is like forcing good people to become prostitutes, many good families have to die and live when they first enter the prostitution door, so they will be a little tough and forced to "lose their lives...... Afterwards, you have to die or live up to you, and after you get used to it, you will be bland, bow your head to reality in the back, and you can only keep picking up customers, and then you will "do a line of love", and wait for the girl to become an old bustard, and even force the good to become a prostitute.
The whole society is actually similar to "forcing good people to become prostitutes", whether it is in the past life or in this life, Shen Xi seems to be in this mode of survival.
Reality will force you to sharpen off the edges and corners and gradually bow your head.
……
……
As for whether Tang Yin is willing, then it is not in Shen Xi's scope of consideration, everyone is tied up, and if you don't accept it, you have to accept it obediently.
Back on the road, Shen Xi was like taking a prisoner on the road, as long as Tang Yin's gag was taken off on the way, he would shout, and at first there were people in charge, but the whole team was no longer surprised at the back.
Even when they arrived at the post station, no one was willing to come forward to "report to the official" according to Tang Yin's instructions, and there were not only the right deputy capital of the three products in the line, but also the people of the Jinyi Guard, who reported to the yamen, not to mention the prefect, even the prefect did not dare to say anything, for the sake of an arrogant scholar who owed money, it would be worth the loss to put himself in.
Shen Xi initially gave Tang Yin good food and food, but found that the effect was far less than letting him drink enough every day, so that even if he didn't gag him, he wouldn't yell and scream anymore.
Tang Yin also seems to like this rhythm of being "raised" with wine, and in the second half of the journey, he is simply like a prisoner, sitting in a carriage every day, holding the wine jar while drinking, while singing poems and songs, like a wild and uninhibited scholar.
It's just that this madman is not very ambitious, and he looks embarrassed, Shen Xi originally asked people to prepare a change of clothes for him, but Tang Yin is used to this sloppy lifestyle, he doesn't take a bath, he doesn't even change his clothes, and he sleeps directly with his clothes at night, which happens to be close to midsummer, so that the entourage who catches the car for Tang Yin is miserable, and the smell of smelling is a huge torment for the body and mind.
A group of people take the east road coastal road, Jiaxing, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Ningbo four mansions are fine, wait after Tiantai Mountain to Taizhou, the local can see the traces of robbing and robbers, some places even the post station was looted by thieves, not to mention walking at night, to stop when passing through the town in the afternoon, find a place to rest.
"Lord Shen, it seems that this trip is very dangerous, shall I change the path and continue south?"
After discussing with Jiang Liwei, Yu Niang felt that they should immediately change their path, and then follow the road by the sea, and it would not take a few days, maybe they themselves would become the target of robbership by the Japanese and bandits.
Shen Xi asked rhetorically: "What?" Is Jade Boss scared? ”
Yu Niang replied cautiously: "Lord Shen, the mountain road in the southeast of Zhejiang is rugged, and many places are inaccessible, and the slave family proposed to change the route, but also wanted Lord Shen to arrive in Wuzhou as soon as possible, at the current speed, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach the destination until mid-June, which will greatly delay the trip." ”
"The Jade master is worried about the official's itinerary, which is really good-intentioned."
Shen Xi shook his head and said, "But don't forget that the official office is in Wuzhou, but the errand is not limited to Wuzhou, the lands of Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guizhou are all along the coast, and the bandits and robbers in these places are within the scope of the official's crackdown, and the official has now begun to perform the errand, so there is no delay." ”
Yu Niang was dumbfounded by Shen Xi's words.
Indeed, Shen Xi came to the southeast coast not to stay in the Wuzhou government office, but to crack down on bandits and robbers, and now Shen Xi is already performing his own errands, and the imperial court cannot hold Shen Xi accountable for delaying his trip.
Yu Niang went back and told Jiang Liwei that even if the two of them could use Liu Daxia to suppress Shen Xi before, but now they have nothing to do with Shen Xi.
They can't be like Shen Xi did to Tang Yin, directly tie Shen Xi on the road, even if they carry Liu Daxia out, it's useless.
Liu Daxia is the secretary of the military department of Zheng Erpin, and Shen Xi is the feudal official of Zheng Sanpin, and the two do not govern each other, even if you have some instructions and instructions from Liu Daxia behind your back, at most you can only put things forward and let Shen Xi use them as a reference, as for whether Shen Xi accepts it, it depends on whether Shen Xi gives Liu Daxia face.
And at the moment, Shen Xi will definitely not give them face, Liu Daxia has not explained which way they must go, as Shen Xi's entourage, they are ordered by the emperor to protect and escort Shen Xi, and they have no right to influence Shen Xi's will.
No way, the group continued to go south along the coastal land, successively over Kuocang Mountain, Panshan, Wenling, Yandang Mountain, Baishaling, across the Yongning River, into Wenzhou Fucheng. After resting for two days at the official post in Wenzhou Fucheng, he continued to set off, passing through Feiyun Pass and Yucang Mountain, and entering Fu'an County, Funing Prefecture in northeastern Fujian Province from the water dividing pass.
This road passes through the state and the province, and the mountains that I have crossed do not know how many, and I tossed enough along the way. There are two "madmen" in the team, one is Shen Xi and the other is Tang Yin.
Tang Yin was yelling and screaming all the way, while Shen Xi repeatedly made some unbelievable orders, such as choosing to stop moving forward when the sun was shining, to stay and rest, or to walk in the rain on a rainy day.
The bandits and the robbers didn't see it, but Shen Xi alone had already tossed the group half to death, and those brocade guards and entourage didn't dare to be disrespectful to Shen Xi on their faces, but they kept complaining in private.
Shen Xi's idea is actually not complicated, he doesn't have to toss people, but really investigates the terrain and landforms.
Because this coastal road is likely to be the place where he will pass through to quell the bandits and robbers in the next few years, he must have a detailed understanding of the geographical environment, so he will often stop and go to some villagers to inquire about "small roads" and "shortcuts", and he will also rush on rainy days to see if the official road is smooth and whether there is a danger of flash floods or landslides.
There were a large number of soldiers and brocade guards in the group, not to mention a small group of bandits, even if it was a large number of pirates, they did not dare to mess around when they heard that they were officers and soldiers.
Therefore, it is relatively safe for Shenxi to take the coastal road. Since it is impossible to actually investigate the situation of bandits and pirates, it is necessary to find out the road conditions first, and it is not in vain to take the coastal road.
When he was in Fu'an County, Shen Xi heard about the official road to Ningde, because of the heavy rain in northern Fujian, the Taimu Mountain flash flood collapsed, and the official road was buried for dozens of miles, resulting in traffic interruptions, and at the same time, several rivers along the way swelled, the ferry was destroyed, and the road to the south had been cut off.
There was no way, Shen Xi ordered to go west, follow by car, from Zhouning, Zhenghe to Jianning Mansion, and then take a boat to Yanping Mansion.
After finally arriving at Yanping Mansion, the group went ashore and rested for a day.
However, there are two roads in front of Shen Xi now, one is to take the land route, pass through Shaxian County and Yong'an, enter the territory of Tingzhou Prefecture, and then take a boat from Changting County to the south and directly enter the ground in Guangdong.
The second road is to follow the Minjiang River to Fuzhou City, and after arriving in Fuzhou, continue to follow the official road along the coast to the south, passing through Xinghua Mansion, Quanzhou Mansion and Zhangzhou Mansion into Guangdong.
Walking on the front line of Tingzhou, in addition to being closer, it is also safer, and Shen Xi can also take the opportunity to return to his hometown and province, greet the local officials, and return to his hometown with honor.
The second road is smooth sailing except for the Minjiang River, but after the road from Fuzhou, it is the same as in southern Zhejiang and northern Fujian, and it is difficult to cross the mountains and mountains.
Yu Niang and Jiang Liwei both thought that Shen Xi would give up the distance and seek the near, after all, he was an official in the court, in order to return to his hometown one day, Shen Xi has only been an official for three years now, and he is already a member of the three grades, controlling local military power, and overriding the officials of the prefecture and county, what a good opportunity to return to his hometown to show off?
But Shen Xi's choice is always so unexpected, and Shen Xi insists on taking the front line of Fuzhou.
“…… Lord Shen, the Fujian Chengxuan Political Envoy Department has maliciously made things difficult for the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, and now the city is still chaotic, you see...... Is it good to change the route? ”
When Yu Niang said this, she was also very embarrassed.
Obviously, Yu Niang doesn't want to see Zi Qian, the two women have a certain grudge, although Yu Niang now has Liu Daxia as a backer and belongs to the "strong dragon", but after all, Zi Qian has the protection of the Dusi Yamen and the Political Envoy Si Yamen behind Zi Qian, and belongs to the "land snake".
"Yu Niang is worried?"
Shen Xi smiled, and after getting Yu Niang's negative answer, he smiled and said, "It is only natural for this official to control the military power along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong, and to go to Fujian to command the envoys." ”
