Chapter 13: Attack on the Road

Shi Bozhang smiled and said, "Bo Zhang, remember, I don't know how far the City Lord's Mansion is from here?" ”

"Oh, you said the City Lord's Mansion, it's not far, it's a short walk, it's almost a short walk through this bustling street market, turn right and walk a short distance, is the journey quite smooth?" Mo Yu actually asked casually, with concern, which was counted as a polite remark.

"It's okay, but I just met a little thief when I was in the territory of Twenty-Seven City and was injured a little." Shi Bozhang replied that Mo Yu was a little surprised when he said this, but he didn't expect that there was really an accident on the road.

Mo Yu was naturally very concerned about this topic, and hurriedly asked Shi Bozhang: "Bozhang, what's going on with this, there's no big problem, right?" ”

Bo Zhang looked around and said mysteriously: "Let's go back and talk about it, go back and talk about it."

Mo Yu knew that he was afraid that others would hear it, so he didn't ask more, and the two of them walked on the road, Mo Yu continued to explain the specific situation of the thirty-nine cities to Shi Bozhang, up to the humanities, down to the geography, Mo Yu talked about it simply, and finally arrived at the city lord's mansion, in fact, in Mo Yu's heart, there was already a trace of impatience to listen to this Shi Bozhang tell the story, and then invited Shi Bozhang to the innermost room, and said to Jiang Liang: "Serve tea, there are guests coming." ”

When Jiang Liang came in with tea, he stood up and said to Jiang Liang: "Brother Liang, this person is Shi Bo Zhang, Shi Bo, Shi Bo, Zhang Zhang, the new city lord, and it will be okay to call Shi the city lord in the future." ”

"Hello Shi City Lord!" Jiang Liang served the tea and said to Shi Bozhang very respectfully: "Good City Lord Shi!" ”

Shi Bozhang hurriedly stood up: "Where, not for the time being, if Brother Liang doesn't dislike it, just call me Bozhang, I haven't asked my brother for his name." Shi Bozhang also seemed quite polite, in Mo Yu's opinion, Shi Bozhang was really quite good, not at all like the tyrannical atmosphere of most of the second generation of officials.

If it was Jiang Liang himself who said that it was really inappropriate in Mo Yu's opinion, so Mo Yu took it over and said: "This is Jiang Liang, usually I also call Brother Liang, Bo Zhang is casual, Jiang on Jiang, Liang of Pingliang, my right-hand man, capable, efficient, I believe that you will cooperate very tacitly in the future," and then said to Jiang Liang, "Brother Liang, I still have something to say to the city lord here, the official side will trouble you, you can make your own decisions, just make the decision for me, let Brother Liang worry more." ”

"It's serious, those two city lords, Jiang Liang will step back for the time being, just call for something." After finishing speaking, Jiang Liang took the tea tray and left.

After Jiang Liang left, Mo Yu said to Shi Bozhang: "I don't know if Bozhang's injuries are serious, do you need to ask a military doctor to take a look at the injuries?" Mo Yu brought up this topic, just to ask what happened in the territory of Twenty-Seven City, who dared to hijack the descendants of the Shi family, it was really the courage of the ambitious leopard.

"Haha, thanks to Brother Yu's concern, Bo Zhang's injury is no longer a big problem, but I don't know who did it, but because he is in the territory of Twenty-Seven City, he is afraid of causing trouble to the people in the officialdom of Twenty-Seven City, so he just talked to them, and did not talk to his father and Elder Duan about this matter, otherwise, no matter what, he will also treat the upper echelons of Twenty-Seven City for the crime of lax governance, which is not a big problem in itself, just inform them of this matter, why bother to be that bad guy," Shi Bo Zhang said with a smile, and took a sip of tea as he spoke, " Brother Yu's tea here is really sweet and delicious, refreshing, really enjoyable, I don't know if this tea is local tea? ”

"Oh, the tea is picked in the local tea field, but it's not this year, it's from the tea merchant in the summer and autumn last year, Mo Yu bought some at a very original price, and stored it for a while, the taste may be a little bad, if it is just fried tea and I believe Bo Zhang will like it more, the water is the usual well water, but Brother Liang should have put some water purification pills, and added a little sugarcane sugar water, so there is a fake sweetness of spring water, but it is really far from the same, Tea boiled with real spring water is far out of reach. When he said this, Mo Yu remembered his leisure life after the official duties in the Thirty-Nine Cities in the past two years, although he was busy with official duties, but for some specialties in the south, Mo Yu really liked it very much, such as this tea, if it was transported to the northern city, it was really a luxury, and Mo Yu could indeed afford it in terms of price, but compared to buying it in the production area here, the price difference was more than ten times, plus how many times did the tea merchant give Mo Yu some thin noodles to the city lord whose rights were not particularly large, Therefore, Mo Yu buys such tea to drink, just like buying a baked cake on the street, as for the tea, there is no bump in transportation, it is almost the original taste, it is really delicious, which is why Mo Yu is so busy in Thirty-Nine Cities every day and is still more nostalgic for this city.

Shi Bozhang smiled: "You can still wait, it's not in vain that I traveled so far to be appointed, and I almost lost my life." When Mo Yu heard this, he remembered what Shi Bozhang said just now, that is, in order to prevent the officials of the Twenty-Seven Cities from being implicated, in fact, this matter can be big or small, it depends on who is injured, at best, it will affect the stability of the country and cannot make the people healthy, and at worst, it will be lax management and dereliction of duty, this Shi Bozhang is of course those who cannot be injured.

"Always talk about this, who did this, I don't know if Bo Zhang has any clue?" Mo Yu finally asked what he wanted to ask the most.

"This matter has to start from ten days ago, because I need to take a detour, I set off from Thirty-three City, and within a few days I came to the territory of Twenty-Seven City, but because I was in a hurry as soon as possible, I didn't go from the main road, but took some hilly paths." Shi Bozhang recalled the events of that day.

"Captain Mi, where are you now, have you left the territory of Twenty-Seven Cities?" Shi Bozhang, who was sitting in Hong, stood up and asked the leading captain surnamed Mi who was riding a horse next to him, this person is called Miqiu, district-level Shangwutang (district-level Shangwutang Scope of Duties; The soldiers recruited by the district-level military machine hall are assessed and trained in all aspects of civil and military affairs; Cooperate with the personnel deployment of the district-level personnel office; Comment and score the work of the district-level personnel department; Conduct regular assessments, and deliver the list of qualified personnel to the district-level personnel hall; and other temporarily arranged tasks), temporarily appointed to escort Shi Bozhang to his post, and the people he brought were also students of the district-level Shangwutang, about 30 people, although the number was not much, but long weapons, short weapons, bows, crossbows, shields and other weapons were readily available, and small-scale combat was not a problem at all.

"Tell the young master, according to the map, it is now in the southwest of the twenty-seven cities, but there is still some distance from the thirty-six cities, there is a Zhuangzi in front, there is a post station in the twenty-seven cities, you can go there to rest, but to hurry as soon as possible, there is still a distance." Miqiu said to Shi Bozhang.

"It's all up to the captain of the fan!"

Just as they were walking on the road between the two hills, Miqiu suddenly shouted, "Stop! ”

At this time, Shi Bozhang stood up again: "Captain Fan, what happened?" ”

Miqiu looked around, especially the top of the two hills, and said to Shi Bozhang, "Young Master, I feel that the situation is a little wrong," and then said to the soldiers escorting him, "The defensive formation is open!" Slow down! ”
