Chapter 107: Once upon a time, there was no fifth-floor village
Seeing Zhao Xiucai's face, Jiang Feng didn't say anything, and was even more sure of something in his heart, so he directly ordered Zhang Liang and the boss of the Ma family to get on the horse and follow behind, and went down the mountain together.
Yang Da ran out of the house and hurriedly came over to see him off, after all, he was his future master, and even if he was a person in the mountains and wilderness, he had to do it completely. Jiang Feng looked at Yang Da, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face, and he instructed the coachman to stop the carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage and poked his head out and said:
"Yang Da, you have to practice more of these young people, and after the New Year, I'm going to come to see what you teach them."
Zhang Liang, who was on the horse next to him, had a puzzled look on his face, if it weren't for Jiang Feng's lack of any clear orders, he would have slashed Yang Da in front of him with a knife just now, and he was confident that it would be easy for Jiang Feng and a few people around him to rush out of this place.
However, Jiang Feng reversed the irritability just now and said with a grin, then he instructed the carriage to start going down the mountain, Zhang Liang loaded the fire gun in his hand with the fire rope again, although the guy in his hand is cumbersome, but the power is indeed great, and Zhang Liang's temperament is impetuous, when he was a child practicing martial arts at home, the bow and arrow can only be used as a pulling device, and there are crossbow arrows, who wants to use the bow and arrow.
Jiang Feng still rode a horse when he went up the mountain, but when he came down, he sat in the carriage, and the horses were already left to the iron egg, of course, he was the biggest among these people, and he should be comfortable, and sat in the carriage with Zhao Xiucai, because Zhao Xiucai's body could not withstand the heavy wind and cold, so he hired this kind of carriage that seemed to be a small moving house, and the windows and doors were covered with thick cotton curtains to prevent the cold wind from blowing in.
Of course, this carriage is also relatively soundproof, it is quite wide inside, and the two people sitting there do not seem crowded, Old Man Li's carriage and horse shop is known as the first in the capital, and it is naturally divided into three, six, nine and so on, Jiang Feng has money in his hand and the relationship between Old Man Li is also good.
This time it was a first-class good carriage, and there were all kinds of equipment in the carriage, and there was even a coffee table between Jiang Feng and Zhao Xiucai, with warm rice wine on it, and roast mutton that had already been smoked, Jiang Feng was holding a piece of mutton in his hand, and the large piece of mutton was steamed and then boiled and fried old, and then stewed in the old soup. That's when this dark dish comes out, but it's actually delicious.
Now everyone who comes to Huifeng Lou is to order a plate, and some people cut some home, which is one of the most fashionable snacks, Jiang Feng put the mutton in his mouth, drank a sip of rice wine, and suddenly felt that his whole body was hot, and his mood was a little calmer now.
Zhao Xiucai was also eating slowly there, but he was not extremely calm, Zhao Xiucai's personality was not the kind of person who could not change his face in case of trouble, although he was stable, there was a strong self-inhibition on his face.
The carriage had already walked down the mountain road, Jiang Feng suddenly smiled, Zhao Xiucai shuddered, Jiang Feng probed out of the carriage, took a wine jug of stoneware that had just been heated and handed it to the coachman who was driving the car, and said:
"Brother Li, it's freezing, take a sip of wine to warm up."
The person who drove the car was about fifty years old, and his surname Zhou was called Zhou Style, and since Jiang Feng started hiring cars from Old Man Li's car and horse dealership, he had always been serving him. At that time, Mr. Li thought that going to Huifeng Building to eat was a face-saving job.
Spending money for a while, I never thought that since the red carpet was tried, the business suddenly boomed, and then I understood that Jiang Feng did that, it was really mutually beneficial, and as long as Jiang Feng came to use the car, he would use the best reception, of course, Jiang Feng's car money would not be less.
These old car drivers are not modern car drivers, as long as they don't want to let the cars and horses run away, just drive slowly, the car gelding is very docile, Zhou said thank you with a smile, and took the wine jug, Jiang Feng inside is holding a piece of mutton wrapped in oil paper, steaming in this cold weather is really tempting.
Zhou tied the reins to the column in front of him, his smiling eyes were already narrowed, he took a sip of wine, and then tore off a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth, as if he was unwilling to open his mouth because of this smell, and swallowed it for a long time, and let out a sigh of relief, and said with emotion:
"I'm really blessed that Lao Zhou gave you Uncle Jiang a car, the wine and meat in Huifeng Building are all good things that can only be eaten by the rich and powerful."
Zhao Xiucai finished eating in the carriage, and then moved towards the curtain, although it was colder there. Jiang Feng patted Zhou Jiao Shi on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Brother, it's hard for me to take you out to run such a long distance in this weather!"
"Uncle Jiang, what you said is a good point, come out with you, the small account is enough, you can catch up with a few years' wages, and there is good wine and meat to eat, if I hadn't followed the old man early, I wouldn't have been able to take my turn to do a good errand?"
Jiang Feng laughed and asked with concern:
"I'm afraid of wind and snow at night, so it's best to be careful."
Zhou wiped his mouth nonchalantly and said:
"This official road, Xiao Lao'er has been running for more than 20 years, and he is taking it away with his eyes closed, although Uncle Jiang can rest assured."
Jiang Feng smiled, looked back at the fifth-floor village that was already hidden in the middle of the mountainside, and continued to ask very casually:
"Zhoujiao, the fifth floor village has been on the edge of the official road for many years."
Hearing this question, Zhou Jiangshi was stunned for a moment, and took a sip of wine before he spoke:
"Our car dealership is walking on the main road, except for the sharp place to eat, I don't know the things on the side of the road, but I remember that an old man told me in the past, there was a Zhuangzi here who was later killed by the horse bandits who came in from the Tartars, and it was abandoned, and I don't remember the things of many years ago."
Jiang Feng didn't continue to speak, just patted the old man's shoulder, he had already confirmed the thoughts in his heart, rubbing his somewhat stiff face, Jiang Feng retracted the curtain covered with thick cotton cloth in the carriage, the smile on his face had all disappeared, Zhao Xiucai, who was sitting inside, had already heard all the conversations outside, his face was pale, and his hands were constantly trembling.
At this time, Zhang Liang outside approached the side window of the carriage, lowered his voice and whispered:
"Master, my senior brother Chen Dahu and they are waiting for us half a mile ahead, or we will go back to the mountain and kill that Zhuangzi now."
Jiang Feng just responded lightly and said:
"Let's walk together first, and wait for my news."
Zhao Xiucai finally couldn't keep his composure, walked over on his knees, kowtowed heavily in the carriage, and when he raised his head, his face was full of tears, he was already speechless, Jiang Feng sneered a few times, and said there:
"I said how can it be so coincidental, we came back from Yantai and found the fifth floor village well, and then as long as I want to buy a family business and store things, it must be 'we are familiar with the fifth floor village, simply here', I am also stupid, I didn't see it until just now, what Dongningwei's words were taught by you, Lao Zhao didn't say you, you won't say this kind of lie that wants to cover up."
The more Jiang Feng laughed and scolded like this, the more nervous Zhao Xiucai was kneeling there, he just didn't have any scheming, but now he just kept kowtowing, and he couldn't say a word.
"Do you know how I saw that something was wrong, that Yang Da and you really look a little similar, you are thin and he is strong, but his children are really ...... with you"
At this point, his voice suddenly became extremely stern:
"Jiang Mou is confident that he is not thin on you, there are now dozens of people in the Beijing camp outside, and there are more than a hundred men on the mountain, and more than a dozen families on the mountain will be easily exterminated, when do you still want to hide me!"
As soon as he heard this, Zhao Xiucai shook violently, raised his head and cried in a hoarse voice:
"Boss, I really don't have any intention of harming you, student, I just want to find a place for my relatives to settle down."
"A soldier who is skilled in bows and arrows? Dong Ning Wei, who knows what their origin is. ”
Jiang Feng's words suddenly turned soft, and he gently patted the coffee table in front of him and said:
"Lao Zhao, tell me the truth, I don't want to be hidden from others, tell me everything big things for you......"
Zhao Xiucai no longer has any assertiveness in his heart, he originally felt quite guilty about deceiving Jiang Feng, the last time he returned to Beijing, he didn't dare to stay in Huifeng Lou for long, for fear of revealing flaws, although he thought that he could hide it for a while, but after all, he would be exposed one day, he didn't expect that this day would come to the front so quickly, listening to Jiang Feng's almost heart-wrenching words, his heart was even more panicked and ashamed, listening to Jiang Feng's words, he couldn't help but tell the truth:
"The owner, the student's uncle is called Zhao Qi."
"Zhao Qi?"
Jiang Feng was stunned, he didn't know who this name was at all, looking at Zhao Xiucai below with a face full of knives and saying this thing, he knew in his heart that this character might be extraordinary, but the impression of this name in his mind was also extremely vague.
Zhao Xiucai looked at Jiang Feng's expression and couldn't help but want to smile bitterly, there are some routine things of his own owner who really don't understand, if other Jinyi guards or officials heard this name, I'm afraid they would have jumped up a long time ago, so they had to grit their teeth there and said:
"Everyone in the world calls him Zhao Crazy!!"
Jiang Feng was even more confused, who is Madman Zhao? Suddenly, I remembered the ruined Yun Zhongyue in modern times, jumped up suddenly, knocked his head and sat down again, lowered his voice but asked in great horror:
"It's Marshal Zhao of the white-clothed divine soldier!?"
