Chapter 30 Juye Zhou Bin [Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation]
It's Meimei again, and she sleeps until dawn.
Lu Qian fought hard last night until he fell asleep at the beginning of the third watch, but when he woke up, he was full of energy, and he didn't feel weak at all.
just looked at Pan Jinlian, who was holding herself with her hands and crying silently, but she didn't know what to say for a while.
It has been ten full days since the Qinghe incident, and now the city they are in is no longer Qinghe, but Fan County, west of Qinghe.
Lu Qian couldn't leave a reputation as an absurd Taoist in Qinghe, and the reputation of a greedy woman was not good at all, so as soon as the lawsuit of Wuda was understood, he left Qinghe County with Pan Jinlian. First to the south, then to the west. On the way, he took off his Taoist clothes, pretended to be a businessman, bought a small courtyard in Houshi Street, Fan County, and bought a pair of mother and daughter as maids in a few days. The mother is in charge of the kitchen, and the daughter is Pan Jinlian's maidservant. A safe and stable nest is built.
Lu Qian invited the neighbors to eat and drink in the past few days, saying that he would go out to do business in a few days, and return to Fan County in two or three months, leaving only the woman at home. The people around knew that a family had just lived in the street after this, and it was likely that the rich merchant had raised a concubine outside. But seeing that the man was generous, he was naturally happy to come down to the city.
Regardless of whether you can afford it or not, no one will have trouble with money!
Lu Qian is not talking in vain, he should really be on Liangshan in two or three months. Because he had already made up his mind to leave a head and end on the way to Cangzhou, so that Gao Yu in Tokyo would know that he had gone to Cangzhou. This time, he can get his wish faster.
When the time comes, it will be natural to send people to this Fan County and take them away directly.
Today is the day when Lu Qian is leaving, and Pan Jinlian naturally knows that it is also appropriate to cry silently. Until now, she doesn't know Lu Qian's real name, only that his surname is Jia, a person from Gyeonggi, and the Taoist name on Du Mu is Guangqian, and the common name is Jia Lu Renye.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, an era of inconvenient transportation and poor information, two or three months was already quite a long time. Especially for a woman like Pan Jinlian who has just broken away from the stable life model of the Wang family, she has a great sense of insecurity in her heart.
Of course, there is no guarantee that there will be a taste of food marrow.
But Lu Qian left her so much money, no matter how she looked, it didn't look like he was going to let her go. The official deed was never let her see, but outsiders didn't know that Lu Qian had already lost the paper. Pan Jinlian is at an absolute disadvantage and weak in the mode of getting along with the two, and she can't waver in Lu Qian's decision, so she can only obey.
It is very tempting for a beauty to cry, and what Lu Qian likes to see most is her appearance of pear blossoms with rain when her emotions are uncontrollable.
But separation will come eventually.
When he ran out of Fan County, Lu Qian still thought about the beauty with tears on her face.
It wasn't until he changed back into that Taoist costume that Lu Qian's beautiful appearance with pear blossoms and rain gradually faded away, and he raised his vigilance to the highest again, and in the next few days, he observed Juye County and Zhou Bin's mansion.
Although Lu Qian felt that Zhou Bin shouldn't be so dirty, as the old saying goes, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs.
Lu Qian killed Gao Yu's godson, if Zhou Bin can catch Lu Qian and ask for a reward from Tokyo, I am afraid that he will be promoted to the third level immediately, and all the soldiers and horses in the government will be imprisoned.
Juye's military camp is in the east of the city, and a battalion of soldiers should have 500 people according to the quota, but this battalion under Zhou Bin's jurisdiction has 400 people. There were also many military attachés in the Northern Song Dynasty who ate empty salaries and drank the blood of soldiers, but they were not as rampant as in the Ming Dynasty.
The 'drifting' inside the Ming Dynasty is even better than 100,000 Eight Banners.
However, the soldiers under the jurisdiction of the Northern Song Dynasty were called as coolies, and they were also clearly hung in front of everyone. The forbidden army in Tokyo is like this, not to mention the box soldiers underneath.
The soldiers come from a complex background, and many of them are refugees. For example, the soldiers of the battalion in Juye recruited some refugees.
In the third year of Daguan, that is, in 1109 AD, there was a great drought in Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and tens of thousands of refugees were displaced in Dayepi, that is, Liangshanbo, and some of them were called by the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts as soldiers.
Zhao Song's million-strong army on paper, 800,000 forbidden troops, a large part of which came from this.
A few years have passed, the refugees have long since returned to their hometowns, and some soldiers have also deserted, and the government does not care about them, but only expels their military status. When Zhou Bin was transferred here, he was not satisfied, and now there are still 400 people left, which is very good.
After Lu Qian entered the city, he first observed the garrison, and the level was really bad.
The few veterans guarding the door are afraid that they are in their forties, and the folds on their faces can drown Lu Qian. The body is as thin as a little chicken, and the gods of the town and city in later generations are here, and everyone can learn to speak: I want to fight ten.
Zhou Bin does not live in the barracks, he has another house in Juye County, not far from the barracks, only two streets apart.
Lu Qian paid attention here. He wanted to touch the door and ask Zhou Bin directly. So in the two days he came to Juye, in addition to being familiar with the terrain and terrain in the county, Lu Qian was looking for someone to inquire about Zhou Bin, and then observe the garrison of Zhou Bin's house.
The generals love to bring the soldiers to their homes and take care of the homes. Zhou Bin is the same problem.
This guy didn't see him go to the barracks once in three or five days, compared to the time when the palace marshal's mansion was back then, it was far worse to arrive every day.
There were five or seven healthy men in the house, including the men in the barracks, a total of twenty or thirty people, and this was already a good man he had selected from the entire command camp. This is a bit of a feeling of the Ming Dynasty.
Lu Qian didn't care about this, he used his skills to scout the two thick soldiers in front of Zhou Bin's mansion, both of which were white. And Zhou Bin himself is the same pale red as Han Bolong.
For three days, Lu Qian was staring at the Zhou family. The man who goes in and out of the Zhou family every day has seen it all and there is no change. Even the fruit and vegetable vendors who come in and out of Zhou's house every day are exactly the same, and the amount of fruits and vegetables they send has not changed much.
Lu Qian felt that there was really no need to continue to be cautious, so he decided to go to Zhou's house at night.
In fact, he also knew that it was unlikely that Zhou Bin had someone hiding in his house.
Because although he is a fellow villager with Lu Qian and Lin Chong, Zhou Bin has also received the favor of Lu Qian and Lin Chong, but Zhou Bin's position is too low and too low. And Lin Chong is the chief head of the sect who was first recommended by Gao Yu after beating the king and leaving, and he receives a lot of flattery on weekdays. Lu Qian was favored by Lin Chong to enter the palace marshal's mansion, and after that, he was exquisite and had a good relationship with many people.
In this way, Zhou Bin disappeared into this large group of people, looking very inconspicuous. It is extremely unlikely that Gao Yu will notice him and send someone to Juye. In the past few days, Lu Qian has observed left and right, but he has not found any such traces.
In the dead of night, the third watch has just passed.
Before the shouts of the husband were far away, the back window of Lu Qian's guest room was opened, and quietly, a black figure turned out, easily jumped over the courtyard wall in the backyard of the inn, and touched towards the Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Bin, who had two bright lanterns hanging in front of the mansion, was sleeping with a concubine in his arms.
