Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Blessing Inn
The large area north of the Yangtze River has been recovered by the Later Zhou, and the situation can be described as a very good situation, Zhou Shizong is in full swing at the moment, and no one seems to be able to stop him.
Yangzhou is known as the land of fireworks. Fireworks in March down to Yangzhou, there is heaven and there is the reputation of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Especially when the economy of the south once exceeded that of the north, Jiangnan has always become a rich land.
"Looks like we have to get out of this place, it's even more dangerous once the identity is exposed!"
Zhao Kuangyin said: "The banditry here has been continuous, and the thief Tang has always wanted to recover the Jiangnan region north of the Yangtze River, and there may be their remnants at this moment!" ”
The thief Tang in Zhao Kuangyin's mouth is the Southern Tang Dynasty in history, the most famous monarch of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, is not a good emperor, but a good person.
"When is the spring flower and autumn moon? How much do you know about the past? Xiaolou had another east wind last night, so the country could not afford to look back at the moonlight. The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but the face has changed. Ask how much sorrow you can have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward. ”
A king of a dead country, in an extremely poetic way, tells the inner entanglement and helplessness after the death of the country.
Zhao Kuangyin and his entourage decided to return to Beijing first, but it was difficult to persuade Mei Xiaohan to move forward together. Mei Xiaohan deliberately wants to keep a distance from Zhao Kuangyin, the so-called companion is like a tiger, this is not unreasonable.
"In that case... You and I are here to separate, Mei Gongzi should take care of himself! ”
"General Zhao, take care!"
After saying goodbye to Yangzhou, Mei Xiaohan didn't know when she would be able to see Zhao Kuangyin again, maybe at that time, she couldn't be called a general.
It has only been more than a year since Yangzhou was captured by Hou Zhou, and the banditry has not been quelled.
This time she came to Yangzhou, Mei Xiaohan only brought a few entourages, and originally just wanted to come out to relax and go home, but now she has no such mood.
Although the city of Yangzhou has experienced the trauma of war, it is still much more prosperous than ordinary small cities.
There is an endless stream of pedestrians and merchants on the street, but the prices of the things on the market are extremely high, and everything is at least fifty percent higher than other places.
Passing by a shop, Mei Xiaohan stepped forward and asked, "I don't know why the prices of goods here are much higher than those elsewhere?" ”
"If you look at the guest officer, you're not a local, right?"
Mei Xiaohan said bluntly: "I am a foreign businessman... Passing by this place, you will stay for a few days! ”
"There has been a lot of trouble here for a long time, and trade routes are often cut off. Doing business is a big risk! ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "I see! Thank you! ”
"Won't you buy some, guest officer?"
Mei Xiaohan said, "What to buy?" ”
"Salt!"
"Who doesn't know that salt is the most valuable now!"
Mei Xiaohan smiled and said, "I don't know how to sell your salt?" ”
"Hey! As soon as the war starts, it is not certain who will kill the deer! ”
"Forget it... Not to mention those useless! ”
"You just asked me how to sell my salt, right? Three taels of silver a pound! Well, it's fair! ”
"The price of salt has risen slightly in three days now... It rose in five days, and in another five days, it will rise to the sky! ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "Since the price of this salt will continue to rise, why are you in a hurry?" ”
"Don't hide it, I'm ready to leave Yangzhou, this place... I can't stay any longer! ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "How... Why do you say that? ”
"Hey!"
The shopkeeper slapped himself in the mouth and said, "Count me too much, count me too much!" ”
This kind of appetizing words are the most annoying, Mei Xiaohan can bear it, but the entourage next to him can't bear it.
"Fuck! If you have something to say, what is the conspiracy of the devastating one! ”
"If you don't, I'll kill you right now!"
"Oops! Ah! ”
"Heroes spare their lives! Heroes spare their lives! ”
The vendor held his head in his hands, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly: "I was wrong, I was wrong!" ”
"Say whatever you say, what the fuck you say!"
"If I don't say anything more, I'll kill you now!"
Ten days ago, a mysterious team came to Yangzhou City, and after breaking into Yangzhou City, it disappeared.
Only since this mysterious team came, Yangzhou City, which was originally unstable, became even more chaotic. They often come out to harass the local people, rob property, and plunder the people, and do all kinds of evil.
The government has no way to deal with them, and this matter has caused panic. Many traders had plans to flee Yangzhou.
"I know that there are a group of mysterious troops coming to Yangzhou, and I don't know anything about it for the first time."
"Forget it, even if you kill him, it's useless! Don't act rashly! ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "It seems that it is right that we do not leave Yangzhou, I want to see who this mysterious master is!" ”
When a person speaks, it can make people feel pressure, or it can make people quiet. This shows that he already has enough influence in the hearts of the other party.
Mei Xiaohan is unintentionally becoming such a person, and his every move is being noticed. His words and deeds are becoming a kind of norm.
When a person becomes an indispensable person in the eyes of others, it is natural that his life has new value.
"Don't embarrass him, he doesn't know much!"
I don't want to be a bad person, and I don't want to kill innocents. It's a kind of guideline, a standard for doing things.
"Now it seems that we are right to come to Yangzhou, and the show is about to start!"
"Mei Gongzi, I think we should go back to Yunzhou Mansion, there are too many rights and wrongs here to stay for a long time! What's more, General Zhao has already left! ”
Mei Xiaohan didn't plan to leave like this, he had a vague premonition that the people who made waves in Yangzhou City were by no means ordinary people.
He was going to wait, for this mysterious army to reappear. While it's dangerous, it's also exciting.
"You go back to Yunzhou Mansion first and call our brothers together!"
Mei Xiaohan was determined to stay in Yangzhou, and no one could persuade him. Being alone is dangerous, but it's also easy to move.
"Tianfu Inn!"
Mei Xiaohan put on a cloak and an M1911 classic pistol in her pocket and walked into the inn.
This is the first time the innkeeper has seen such a costume. Seeing that he was extraordinary, he took the initiative to go up to receive him.
"Young master, are you going to stay in a hotel?"
Mei Xiaohan said: "Not bad! I want a nice room! ”
"Oops! At first glance, you are the son of a rich family, living in my Tianfu Inn, there is no problem with safety at all! There is no second home in the entire Yangzhou City! ”
Mei Xiaohan didn't stop him bragging nonsense, and said politely: "Okay! I'm staying here tonight! ”
At this time, the two entourages had already ridden fast horses and rushed to Yunzhou Mansion, and now only Mei Xiaohan was left in Yangzhou City.
"Tianfu Inn" is famous for its safety in the whole Yangzhou, for security and other work, has been listed as the top priority by Tianfu Inn, never dare to ignore.
If you choose to live here, you will be guaranteed security, but the price of accommodation is very high.
The most ordinary low-class room costs three taels of silver, and the top-class Tianzi room is priced as high as fifty taels.
In addition to its security, the most important reason why the room of "Tianfu Inn" is so expensive is that Tianfu Inn hides the dragon and crouching tiger, and there are often people from the rivers and lakes who live here, and many masters gather here, but they never shoot casually in Tianfu Inn.
