Chapter 38: Wang Bo
(Thank you for the reward from Xiao Ai, thank you!) )
"Steamed cakes, steamed cakes, freshly baked steamed cakes, steaming fresh steamed cakes."
"Haggis soup, delicious haggis soup."
After choosing the equipment and going to the stables to choose the mounts, Luo Feng and his party of seven immediately changed their guns and became majestic.
In the market, the cries of the vendors are endless.
Luo Feng opened the way in front of him, leading a horse by himself, carrying a horizontal knife at his waist, and wearing a soap robe, but he had the feeling of a clean street tiger.
"Shopkeeper, bring one of us a bowl of mutton soup, and one of us ten steamed cakes."
The shop selling mutton soup had already taken a breath when he saw such murderous people coming in.
"Guest officer, our store sells mutton soup, not steamed cakes." He laughed carefully.
"Won't you go next door and buy it?" Luo Si immediately slapped the table.
Luo Feng glared at him, "Please help us go to the next door to buy some and settle the bill together in a while." ”
"Ten for one person?"
"If you can't finish eating, you will help us pack it and use it as dry food on the road."
"Good class."
The shop is very small, and the tables are made of logs, but after a long time, they can no longer see their true colors, and they look very greasy. Luo Feng frowned, if in the past, he would never eat in such a restaurant, but now, he is frowning at most.
"Little Wu, I'll wipe it for you." The fourth brother-in-law is a careful person, and when he saw Luo Feng frowning, he immediately brought a rag from the store to wipe the table, but Luo Feng saw that the rag was not clean.
"I've been busy for a long time, eat and drink, and we'll set off after eating."
Luo Si was a little unhappy with this errand, he thought that he would follow his brother to the county seat on an errand, and he would be very majestic in the future, who knew that he was sent to the county town as soon as he entered the city.
"We just came to the county and sent a business trip, can't we send someone else?"
"If you don't complain, how can this errand be so free. It's nothing to go to the county town, it's just an errand, and then you can go to your cousin's house to see your aunt and uncle. ”
The third brother-in-law, Scarface, was the oldest of the all, and he thought about things further, "Xiao Wu, I don't think this matter will be so simple, if it is just a simple report, there is no need to wait for you to come back to send this errand." ”
Du Da couldn't help but say, "What is this called Zhishilang's mystery, no one has heard any news about him before, and now he suddenly came out, and he did such a big case, I'm afraid it's even more ruthless than the blue-faced ghost, you said let's go to the county town to report the news, will they know?" ”
"Who knows, but we're going to have to make this trip anyway. By the way, have you ever heard of a man named Wang Bo? ”
Luo Feng asked.
"I haven't heard of it." Luo Si shook his head, although he used to like to make fox friends and hang around, but in fact, he was just mixing in the township, and he was not even familiar with the county seat.
"Wang Bo?"
The fourth brother-in-law, Zhou Xin, suddenly answered, "I've heard of a man named Wang Bo, and I've actually seen him, but I don't know if the fifth brother is talking about him." ”
"Who is this Wang Bo you are talking about and what is he doing?"
"Speaking of this Wang Bolai, it's a bit legendary." The fourth brother-in-law talked about Wang Bo, and there was a look of admiration in his eyes.
It turned out that the Wang Bo he knew was a native of Zouping County in the north of Changbai Mountain, and his family used to be regarded as an official eunuch, and his ancestors had been some small officials and officials for several generations.
Later, when he grew up, he joined the army by chance, and he also made some contributions, so he became a foreign official in Qi County when he was about thirty years old, although he was very young and worked hard.
But after all, there is no backer, in the officialdom struggle of Qi County, because he stood on the wrong team, he not only lost his ministry in the end, but also was imprisoned, and finally almost lost his head. After finally breaking the family, he saved his life, and after coming out, he went away to trade tea and horses with the Turks, and soon accumulated some family wealth.
I returned to my hometown to buy land and became a landlord, but my life was good.
"Are you saying that this Wang Bo is now a landlord in his hometown?" Luo Feng asked.
"Well, calculated, he should be in his forties now, and he is old, so he no longer runs caravans outside the Saiwai, and now he buys land and land, and enjoys the happiness of the local lord at home." Zhou Xin is full of envy for this Wang official.
People used to be poor, but they were able to start from scratch, from blacksmith apprentices, to soldiers in the guards, and then to officials, although they almost died later, and lost their ministry, but they went away to the grassland to do business, and they were still able to make a comeback, and now they have bought such a large family business.
Listening to the words of the fourth brother-in-law, Luo Feng fell into deep thought.
Zouping people, about forty years old, born in a family of eunuchs, when he was a child, he was an apprentice blacksmith, and then he joined the army as a soldier, and then he entered the officialdom as an official, and then went away to trade and do business with the Turks, and now he is at ease in his hometown, this is indeed a legend.
However, from this information, Luo Feng is more and more sure that this Zouping Wang Bo is likely to be the Wang Bo who later raised the banner of righteousness against Sui in the seventh year of the Great Cause, that is, the Zhishilang who robbed the grain, grass and people in Zhangqiu County this time.
Because a lot of information matches.
First of all, this Wang Bo does have this strength, he has been a soldier before, a official, and a foreign official, and he must have the ability and courage.
Again, where is Zouping County?
Just north of Zhangqiu, there is a Changbai Mountain between the two counties.
The distance is only eighty miles, if you ride a horse for a day, you can go back and forth, especially the Changbai Mountain in the middle of the two counties, which is extremely conducive to Wang Bo robbing the grain and grass and then transferring and hiding, if the thief is too far away to commit the crime, it is impossible to be silent.
"Xiao Wu, what are you asking about this Wang Bo?" Luo Si asked.
"Oh, it's nothing, I also heard that there is a man named Wang Bo who used to be a blacksmith, and then he was very good." He said casually.
"That's right, this Wang Daguan is really powerful, if only I could be like him in the future." Zhou Xin was full of envy.
Zouping County is in the northeast of Zhangqiu County, while the county seat of Qi County is in Licheng, but it is in the southwest, which is completely two directions.
Should I go to Zouping to check on this Wang Bo first, or should I go to Licheng first?
After thinking about it, Luo Feng felt that although he had some information now, these situations were based on his memories through later generations, and he had long known that Zhishilang was Wang Bo. But now he has no evidence to prove that Zou Ping Wang Bo is Zhishilang.
"Shop, why haven't the mutton soup and steamed cakes come up yet, do you still want to open this store, haven't you seen the soap clothes on my brother's body, tell you, my brother is Luo Wu of Changbai Township who captured and killed the blue-faced ghost, and now he is the county order to catch us quickly, and you will not be able to stand this store in the future." Luo Wu slapped the table impatiently and shouted.
The shopkeeper nodded and bowed his head in apology.
The other diners in the restaurant also looked at each other with a scar, and a sturdy man with a scar on his brow bone behind one of the tables looked at him even more carefully.
