Chapter Ninety-Nine: Manid

said that at that time, the cow ate grass and shouted "the thief is leaving" and galloped wildly, half a cup of tea to catch a person, and when he arrived in front of Xu Qing, he threw the person on the ground heavily, and said: "Young master, this person is sneaky, I'm afraid that the group of thieves are looking at the wind." ”

"Ahem, no, no, no, I'm not a thief......" The captured man shouted aggrievedly as he swallowed the pain of being thrown off his horse on the second floor.

"Then why are you sneaking around here?!" Xu Qing asked.

"I'm a traveling merchant, my name is Manid, I was robbed and captured by those bandits, this time they 'worked', let me come too, I didn't dare to kill, that's why I hid." Manid said, Xu Qing heard this, and looked at his outfit, different from the raw fur coat worn by the bandits, he was wearing a high-quality linen clothes, so he believed half a point, and asked:

"Where are you from, and how long have you been taken captive?"

"Six days and nine hours...... Manid replied, "but I don't have a ...... of household registration."

"Hmm......" Xu Qing nodded, thinking that Manid could say the exact date, which was the performance of living like a year, but he didn't fully believe Manid, and asked, "Why don't you have a household registration?" ”

"My mother is from Korea, and my father is from the Central Plains, so ......," Manid said with his head bowed. Xu Qing knew in his heart that the two countries were originally intermarried.

"And what do you sell in business?" Xu Qing took some food for Manid to eat, and he looked a little hungry.

"That's a lot, I have reselling goods all over the Central Plains......" Manid ate steamed cakes, talked about business, and couldn't stop at once: "I bought silk cloth from Jiangnan, bought it to the Central Plains, and exchanged tea in the Central Plains, and sold rice and wheat to the grassland people, exchanged a large number of horses and livestock, rushed to Hebei, sold them while walking, and arrived in Cangzhou, and exchanged the remaining livestock for salt in Yanshan. Hmph, a group of white-eyed wolves who are not familiar with me, they secretly contacted the robbers and robbed me of all my goods and money......" Manid became more and more sad the more he spoke, and Xu Qing hurriedly stopped him:

"I wonder what you plan to do in the future?"

"Alas......" Manid just sighed when he heard this, Xu Qing saw this, and thought slightly in his heart, Cangzhou in the future really needs a capable business talent, and this person in front of him seems to be good. So he said, "If you have nowhere to go, I will give you a place......

"Where?!" When Manid heard this, he came to his senses.

"I'll give you five taels of silver and a letter, you go to Chang'an, find Xun Fang of Jiuxian Brewing, and he will arrange for you to do things......" Xu Qing thought for a while and added, "You use Jiuxian Brew as a book, and after a year, when you come back to Cangzhou, I want to see a full ...... of goods."

After speaking, Xu Qing immediately wrote a letter, and wrote a road guide in the name of the assassin, and handed it to Manid with a handful of broken silver.

"Thorn ...... Lord Thorn? Manid saw the guide in his hand clearly, looked at Xu Qing incredulously, and was stunned for a moment. came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed, but Xu Qing and the horse walked away.

On the plain road, as far as the eye can see, the carriage runs fast, and after a while, it enters the boundary of Cangxian County. After inquiring about the route clearly, Xu Qing and his party rushed to Cangzhou City.

Cangzhou's governance is located in Cangxian County, so the county seat of Cangxian County is also the state capital of Cangzhou, and the Assassin's Mansion and the county government are in Cangzhou City. Cangzhou City, as the location of the Thorn Mansion, is the most developed place in Cangzhou, with tall walls and wide streets, which is much better than Nanpi.

The fields and orchards next to Cangzhou City are full of life, and the canals that look new show that farmers have enough energy and time to do these tasks in addition to farming. Walking into the city, people and animals are healthy and strong, new houses are being built in many places, the blacksmith shop is the hottest, the grocery store is full of goods, the variety and price are relatively good, and many people gather here to work part-time.

Looking at this Cangzhou City, Xu Qing couldn't help but be happy, it seems that it is still a good place, although it can be compared with a street in Chang'an at most, but it is far beyond Xu Qing's expectations.

--When Xu Qing was wandering around Cangzhou City, a carriage in front of him greeted him, the street was not spacious, and the carriage ran like flying. caused passers-by to avoid it. Xu Qing frowned, and didn't have time to avoid it, but fortunately, the cow grazing and a few guards rushed forward and stopped the carriage.

"Bold, where did you come from, and the master's carriage dared to stop it!?" A young man in Chinese clothes got out of the carriage, pushed the driver, and scolded involuntarily.

"Shit, if I don't stop you, you're going to bump into you!" The cow grazing unceremoniously returned.

"Do you know who I am?" The young man saw Xu Qing's carriage in the middle of the road, and he couldn't help but feel guilty, but when he remembered his identity, he had a tone of asking questions.

"Oh, isn't this the son of Lord Changshi's mansion?"

"What you said, could it be Xia Hao?"

"It's this person, go quickly, this person can't be messed with......"

Xu Qing listened to the words of passers-by, remembered the Xia family who met the bandits on the road today, and the robbers confessed, snorted coldly, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Haha, you came to Cangzhou, you can't even figure out how many gods are here? I am the son of the Xia family, Xia Hao, my father is a long history, do you know? Xia Hao laughed: "Quickly apologize to my son, otherwise you will look good!" ”

"Oh, I know, but I don't apologize, so what?" Xu Qing asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"You, you don't know whether to live or die!" Xia Hao reprimanded: "My Xia family is the sky in Cangzhou, do you dare to go against the sky?" ”

"The Xia family, with a loser like you, it will also leak out......"

"Me? Put on airs? Who doesn't know that I, Xia Hao, am in Hebei, that's the first in literary and martial arts, and you kid is a loser, right? Xia Hao looked at Xu Qing with disdain.

"Cows eat grass, that Miss Huang in Nanpi, thieves...... The thief said that there was a Xia Gongzi ......" Xu Qing ignored him and talked to the cow eating grass by himself, but he didn't expect Xia Hao to listen to half of it and interrupted: "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”

"Oh? Hehe......" Xu Qing had an idea in his heart, that thief should be similar to the one in front of him.

At this time, a team of catchers rushed over and shouted, "Who is making trouble?" ”

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Xia?" The head of the fast catch bowed to Xia Hao flatteringly, Xia Hao suddenly raised his head and smiled at Xu Qingxiao with his nostrils. Seeing this, he knew that Xu Qing had offended Xia Hao, and he shouted:

"Who are you, go, go with me to the county office!" The guards such as the cow eating grass were angry and wide-eyed, the green tendons were bursting, the swords were tense, and they were about to fight in the street, and a group of onlookers scattered and did not dare to watch the play anymore. The group of catchers couldn't hold their faces, they used to draw knives and scare people, but today they were scared, but not to mention, it's quite scary.

"You, you, you dare to rebel!?" Xia Hao couldn't stand for a while, leaning on the carriage and stammering.

"Bring me my official uniform......" Xu Qing turned his head to Xiao Yue in the carriage and said. Xiao Yue took out her official uniform, Xu Qing put it on the street, and her official uniform was majestic, and the people present were terrified.

The county magistrate is wearing a cyan robe, but the person in front of him is wearing red, which is much bigger than the county magistrate! The catchers are secretly frightened, today is a fight with the gods!

Fortunately, at this time, another voice sounded:

"Cangzhou Governor History, Lord Xia is ......"
