Chapter 17: A Trip to Yazhou (I)
He Laosan is really depressed these days. Pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info 20 days ago, his younger brother He Lao Liu led people to ambush Li Shuang, I thought that this time I could kill this opponent for many years with one blow, who knew that I would kill a way to bite the gold halfway, not only saved Li Shuang, but also scrapped He Lao Liu's right hand, the key is that after so many days of secret visits, I actually don't know anything about the origin of these people. This younger brother is not angry, his hands are gone, and he doesn't know how he was beaten, and he is sure that it is Huotong. It's not that He Laosan hasn't seen Huotong, 2,30 steps apart, not to mention knocking out his hand, it is a miracle to be able to hit someone.
He Laosan was angrily staring at He Laoliu, who was sitting on the side with a thick cotton cloth wrapped in his hand, and one of his subordinates ran in from outside in a panic; "Third master, third master, Li Shuang has entered the city."
"Who, who do you say?" He Lao Liu jumped up all of a sudden, stared at the bull's eye and asked.
"Li Shuang, Li Shuang has entered the city."
"Do you see clearly?" He Lao Liu was a little unconvinced.
A few days ago, Li Shuang's subordinate Ding Laosan went to Yazhou, sold a batch of salt of very good quality, and bought some grain to transport away. Because Li Shuang didn't enter the city last time, the He brothers didn't take any action, but secretly sent a few people to follow Ding Laosan. According to the report of the stalker who came back, Ding Laosan sent the grain he bought to Yulin Bay, and an earthen wall was built in Yulin Bay, because he didn't dare to approach, so he didn't figure out the situation inside the earthen wall, but Li Shuang should be hiding inside. I didn't expect Li Shuang to come back so soon, did he come to sell salt again?
"How many of them are there, do they have salt?" He Laosan asked.
"There are more than 40 people in total, with salt, more than last time, estimated to be more than 5,000 catties, the villain really saw it, and the people who injured the sixth master last time also came with them." This minion had beaten Li Shuang with He Lao Liuyi last time, and had seen Zhang Hai and others.
"5,000 pounds?" He Laosan and He Laoliu both gasped, did this Li Shuang really have any secret recipes?
"No matter." He Lao Liu shouted, "There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell, you can vote for yourself." Gather the brethren, and this time either he dies or I die. ”
"Sixth." He Laosan drank the noisy He Laoliu, "Don't be impatient." Don't look at where this is, Yazhou City is also where you use knives and guns? If someone dies, Lord Zhizhou can't explain it. ”
"Won't I take revenge?" He Laoliu was indignant.
"Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge." He Laosan turned his head to the minion below and said, "Send more people, keep an eye on them, first figure out the purpose of their visit to Yazhou this time and then make plans, I think they are not just selling salt this time." ”
Xu Lang and the others rested in the inn for a day, and the four of them didn't sleep well because of the repeated attacks of mosquitoes and lice all night, and they were still sluggish when they got up in the morning. Li Shuang is now thriving in the salt shop in Yazhou, and everyone knows that his salt is of excellent quality and the price is low. Early in the morning, Li Shuang received invitations from 2 salt stores before he got up, asking Li Shuang to appreciate the light.
Ding Laosan had already sold all the salt he brought yesterday and got more than 100 taels of silver. Except for Li Shuang's share and the gift of 1,000 catties, Xu Lang only kept 2 taels of silver, and entrusted Ding Laosan to buy all the grain, iron and cloth. It's been a month since landing, and the clothes of the traversers have been worn out due to days of hard work, so this time the committee decided to buy some cotton cloth to take back to make clothes, and the cotton cloth in Hainan is still very good.
With the silver, Li Shuang's subordinates began to get upset. Although Yazhou City is small, it can be equipped with all kinds of organs, **, wine shops, and casinos. Because Li Shuang wanted to go with Xu Lang and them to visit Mr. Qian in Yazhou Water Village, he simply gave them a few days off, leaving Ding Laosan alone, which made Ding Laosan, who was addicted to gambling, quite annoyed. Originally, I was going to visit the master in Yazhou and get a legal identity for the traverser, but when Li Shuang went yesterday, he learned that the master was far away and could only come back after a month, so this time he had to give up.
After eating breakfast, the six people walked slowly and leisurely in the direction of the water village. Yazhou City is a total of no more than a thousand acres of land, but not to catch up with a township in later generations, just the first time to enter the city of the Ming Dynasty, 4 traversers are full of curiosity, look east, look west, not far away but walk for more than half an hour.
I saw the dilapidated gate of the water village from a distance, and two listless soldiers at the door were lazily basking in the sun. Li Shuang stepped forward and bowed: "This military master, Li Shuang in the lower Linchuan, tired the military master, and asked to see Master Qian if he had something to do." "Yazhou in the Ming Dynasty was divided into 4 compartments, 2 townships, 1 capital, and 14 li, and Li Shuang was a native of Linchuan.
"Li Shuang?" The soldier guarding the gate thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "You are the Li Shuang who sells salt?" ”
"Exactly down there." Li Shuang replied with a smile, handed over the gift list, and secretly gave the soldier a small piece of broken silver.
The soldier pinched the silver, and a smile appeared on his face: "Okay, you wait, I'll go and report to Lord Qianzong." ”
The four traversers glanced at each other at the same time, "Money can make grinding ghosts, which dynasty and generation are the same." ”
After a while, the soldier came out of the gate and beckoned to Li Shuang and the others: "Come with me, my family is free." ”
The group followed the soldier into the water village, and the soldier led them into a room, and then said, "Wait here, my lord will be there in a moment." ”
"There is labor." Li Shuang arched his hand at this soldier.
The soldiers withdrew from the room, and Sun Tianhao looked at the furnishings of the room, a table of eight immortals, and a few Taishi chairs, which couldn't be simpler.
"Hey, you say, if this table and chair are brought back to our time, how much will it be worth, authentic Ming Dynasty furniture." Sun Tianhao spoke Mandarin, and it is estimated that Li Shuang and Ding Laosan could not understand it.
"I've sent you, I don't need money, you can move back." Zhang Hai said with a smile on the side.
Everyone was making fun of each other, and a deep voice sounded outside the house: "Who is coming to find this official?" ”
Before he finished speaking, a man dressed in the costume of a military attache of the sixth rank walked in, looking up and down at the six people in the room.
"Grass farmer Li Shuang pays a visit to Mr. Qian." Li Shuang hurriedly knelt on one knee and pulled Xu Lang, who was standing stupidly next to him.
"Your grandmother, forget about this, and you should worship your ancestors." Xu Lang followed Li Shuang and knelt down on one knee. Zhang Hai and the others behind him also knelt down reluctantly.
"Excuse me." Seeing Li Shuang and the others kneeling, this Qian always waved his hand, "Sit down and watch the tea." ”
Someone outside the door came in and offered tea. After walking all morning, Liu Jun was a little thirsty, and was about to pick up the teacup and take 2 sips, but he saw Xu Lang on the other side glaring at him fiercely. Liu Jun was a little dumbfounded, "Can't you drink this tea?" Poisonous? ”
"I don't know what a few people are looking for?" Mr. Qian sat on the main seat solemnly.
"Returning to your lordship." Li Shuang said, "These people are relatives of the lower clan, they have been living abroad for a long time, and their hearts are to my Daming. ”
"Exactly, exactly. "I have lived overseas, and I have heard that my lordship is far and wide, but I hate not to see each other, and now I have returned to my homeland, and I have come to visit my lord and see my majesty." ”
As the saying goes, thousands of clothes are worn, and sycophants are not worn. Before coming, the traversers set the tone, the first visit, don't talk about any facts, just pat the sycophants, the relationship is closer, and it will be easy to say in the future, this is called early investment.
Mr. Qian looked at these people in front of him with great satisfaction, these people are very knowledgeable, the gift list handed in is worth more than 10 taels of silver, and now a fart is patted over, Mr. Qian is very fluttering.
"I'm Lao Zhao." Master Qianzong Zhao arched his hand to the north, and as soon as he was happy, the nature of the martial artist was revealed, "Thanks to the emperor's love, how dare you not do your best to guard this Yazhou waterway for the emperor?" There are some merits, which are also the emperor's grace, and the soldiers use their lives. ”
"Adults are too humble, too humble."
Everyone chatted a few words without a match, and seeing that it was not early, Zhao Qian said with a teacup, "Please." ”
"Oh, I didn't say you couldn't drink it." Liu Jun seemed to understand, and was about to serve a cup when he heard someone shouting outside; "Sending off guests."
Everyone hurriedly got up and took their leave.
"Yes, dare to love this tea, you can only watch it, you can't drink it." Liu Jun thought secretly.
When everyone came out of the water village, they saw that it was almost noon, so they wandered all the way to find a wine shop to eat something. Sun Tianhao patted his ass all morning, he couldn't stand it with hunger, and was biting on a Hainan specialty radish cake in one hand. As he was walking, he suddenly saw that the surrounding Ming Dynasty people were running in one direction in a hurry, and he beckoned while running, "Go and see, go and see, there are new goods again." ”
Sun Tianhao joined in the fun, and didn't say hello to others, and ran directly with these Ming Dynasty people, and everyone had no choice but to follow them.
In a clearing at the base of the city wall, a dozen women in ragged clothes stood, some women in their teens, and some teenage girls. The two people next to him held whips in their hands and kept shouting: "Fourteen prisoners, they will be sent as slaves, and those with the highest price will get it." ”
"Selling?" Xu Lang asked Li Shuang.
"Brother Xu doesn't know." Li Shuang replied, "I have a clear law, and the families of repeat offenders are all assigned as slaves, and they are official slaves. It's just that no one has followed the laws of the court now, and these officials have resold these people privately. It's just that I don't know what kind of law these men have broken again. ”
"I heard that it was a tongwa, and I cut a few a few days ago." A man next to him interjected.
"Messenger? I think it's a good killing. Ding Laosan said.
"Be careful." Li Shuang glared at Ding Laosan.
Everyone was only chatting, but Sun Tianhao stood at the innermost part of the crowd, staring at a little girl. The girl was 12 or 3 years old, with a yellow face and thin muscles, and no clothes to cover her body. His eyes drooped, and he didn't dare to look at Sun Tianhao. Sun Tianhao stepped forward and touched the little girl's cheek, and the little girl was so frightened that she took a few steps back.
"I'm hungry." Sun Tianhao suddenly said softly, handed the radish cake in his hand forward, and didn't care if the little girl could understand the Yazhou dialect she had just learned, "Here, eat." ”
The little girl glanced at Sun Tianhao timidly, timidly took the radish cake, and suddenly stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it.
"Eat slowly, don't choke." Sun Tianhao patted the little girl's head lovingly.
"This man." The person with the whip next to him came over and said to Sun Tianhao, "If you are optimistic, you will make a price, this ** is tender, Huanghua girl." ”
Sun Tianhao pushed the person away and glared at him fiercely.
"Tianhao." Xu Lang didn't want to cause trouble, so he called out to Sun Tianhao, "Let's go." ”
"If you can't afford the money, get out of here, I want it." A voice came in from outside the crowd.
Everyone looked back, "He Lao Liu!" ”
After He Lao Liu was blocked by his brother's determination to take revenge, he was upset, so he took a few people out to hang out, just trying to find an eyeless sass, but he didn't expect to meet Li Shuang and others here.
He Lao Liu separated the crowd, walked in, reached out and pinched the little girl's face, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Sun Tianhao, "I want this little girl, I will give 5 taels of silver." ”
"Sixth Master." The person next to him shouted, "The sixth master bid 5 taels, did anyone else bid?" ”
"Let's go." Xu Lang walked up to Sun Tianhao, lowered his voice and said, "Don't make trouble." ”
Sun Tianhao turned around hatefully and walked out of the crowd with Xu Lang. Suddenly, a voice clearly reached everyone's ears: "This little girl looks pretty good, tonight the uncle will give you a bud and try it." ”
Sun Tianhao turned around sharply, and before everyone could understand what was going on, a black hole five-four pistol was pressed against He Laoliu's head.
"You TM say it again." Sun Tianhao gritted his teeth and said, "Believe it or not, I abolished you." ”
Everyone was surprised, Sun Tianhao, who has always been giggling and laughing, and Sun Tianhao, who has no shape, is so ruthless. The traverser came out this time without a rifle, only 2 May Fourth pistols and a few grenades. took out a modern pistol in public, and it seemed that Sun Tianhao was really hot.
He Laoliu's subordinates showed their weapons one after another, shouting at Sun Tianhao: "Let go of the sixth master, I don't want to live you." ”
Zhang Haihai kicked a person who wanted to sneak attack Sun Tianhao from behind, and pulled out a three-edged thorn and put it on He Laoliu's neck, "Whoever dares to move again, I will kill him." ”
Now that you've done it, let's do it. Capture the thief and capture the king first, Zhang Hai doesn't know how many people He Lao Liu has around, and there are only 6 on his side, so the first strike is strong, and the second attack suffers.
Both sides showed their weapons one after another, Xu Lang's hand in his clothes grabbed a grenade tightly, and the other gun was in Liu Jun's place. "If you really want to do it, you'll blow it up."
Just when the two sides were about to fight, a slow voice sounded behind the crowd: "In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, who is so bold and reckless, ignoring my Ming law?" ”
