Chapter 205: The Beggar Gang
After the bloodshed, Anji County is still as calm as ever. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the land of war, a small attack was nothing, and the people in it, perhaps numb, or forgotten, caused the turmoil like a toothpick stirring the water tank, unable to turn over the huge waves.
Maybe it's Qin Hao's disapproval, there is no tension in the entire barracks, the patrol that should be patrolled, the sleep that should be slept, is no different from usual.
The only thing she felt nervous about was Tian Xiaoqian, she couldn't sleep all night, it was a matter of Qin Hao's safety, there was no trivial matter in her heart, she finally stayed up until dawn, and she didn't say hello to Qin Hao, so she took two small soldiers to the Chenghuang Temple in the east of the county.
There is a group of beggars living in the City God Temple, which is the legendary beggar gang in later generations, and the difference with the legendary beggar gang is that the leader is not called the gang leader, but the group head or beggar.
Although they have sticks in their hands for beating dogs, they do not have the legendary dog-beating stick method, let alone the fierce eighteen palms of the dragon, they do not live in legends, but live in real life.
Tian Xiaoqian didn't have a temple, but let a soldier go in, invited their regiment leader Jin Boss out, took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve, and said bluntly: "There are ten taels of silver here, I want to buy a message from Boss Jin." ”
Boss Jin didn't take her money, but said with a straight face: "What happened in the restaurant yesterday, we all know that among you, there is a person named Langhua who also came to us, you want the news, don't say we don't have it, even if we have, we don't dare to sell it!" ”
"If Boss Jin feels that the money is not enough, I can add more!" Tian Xiaoqian did not give up, and still wanted to make a final effort.
Boss Jin shook his head and said: "Miss Tian, this is not a question of money or not, but a matter of life, we are just some beggars, we can't afford big things, we can discuss other things, but we really don't dare to do this matter." ”
These beggars walked the streets and alleys, familiar with every corner of Anji County, and asked them to find out the news, which was more convenient and faster than the fast fishing in the yamen, Tian Xiaoqian saw that they did not agree, and only sighed softly, and did not force it.
Ten taels of silver, for Tian Xiaoqian, it was originally nothing, no matter whether Boss Jin was willing to help her or not, she left the silver taels here, and then took two small soldiers to the county office.
Yesterday, Tian Xiaoqian and Qin Hao came to the county office, Li Zhubo and the county lieutenant both knew her, saw her coming, knew her intentions, and hurriedly reported the entry and exit of the major rice shops to Tian Xiaoqian.
The nine rice shops that opened, the import and export were normal, and there was no bulk trading, this result made Tian Xiaoqian a little disappointed, and walked out of the county office sullenly, and bumped into Qin Hao who came to find him.
"I knew you were coming here when I didn't see anyone early in the morning."
Qin Hao looked at Tian Xiaoqian, who was worried, and said with a smile, "Lord Li of the county government is a good official, if he has any news here, he will definitely tell us as soon as possible, besides, isn't there a wave to investigate this matter?" Why bother with this? ”
"If you hadn't bothered about this, you wouldn't have acted as bait yesterday, and now that I think about it, I'm a little scared!" Tian Xiaoqian stared at Qin Hao, and said worriedly, "The other party is in the dark, let's be in the light, it's always good to be careful." ”
Huzi shook the double hammer and echoed: "Brother, I think my sister is right, you don't know martial arts, if those people come to assassinate, it's really a bit troublesome!" ”
Qin Hao smiled, reached out and touched Huzi's round head, "With your sister and you by your side, who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to carry out the assassination?" The result is not the same as yesterday, a hammer down, like a watermelon smashed to pieces. ”
What is the concept of smashing watermelon, Huzi actually has no impression at all, because although there were watermelons at that time, it was not as bad as it is now, Huzi didn't say that he ate it, and he hadn't even heard of it.
Tian Xiaoqian saw that Qin Hao always didn't care about anything and hung high, so she couldn't help frowning and said: "This matter is related to your safety, you can't be sloppy, if you want to do this again, you will practice with me tomorrow morning!" ”
"Practice?"
Oh, my good man, let a weak scholar like me practice, it is better to kill me with one sword, Qin Hao saw Tian Xiaoqian's serious face, and knew that what she said was not nonsense, so he immediately said:
"It's not that I'm sloppy, it's just that even if we keep a straight face every day, it's useless to find each other, rather than living a scared life like this, it's better to be happy, right?"
Tian Xiaoqian thought about it, and looked at Qin Hao again, although there was only Huzi by his side, not far behind him, there was a team of elite soldiers following closely, and the leader of the team was called Lu Dafeng, who was a good hand in the army.
"Having said that, but be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years, the words of the old people will not be wrong after all, by the way, what are you doing here? It can't be a special trip to me, right? ”
"You're really right about this, Huzi and I made a special trip to find you, and after you find it, I'll do some things by the way!"
Huzi also echoed: "Brother got up early in the morning, didn't see you, didn't even eat breakfast, so he pulled me out to find you, saying that after finding you, let's go to the blacksmith shop together." ”
"Blacksmith? What to do at the blacksmith shop? Tian Xiaoqian felt a little strange, there was no shortage of guns or knives in the barracks, and even if there was a lack of these, Lu Xiaoqing would go to do it, what would he do in the blacksmith shop.
Qin Hao replied: "Isn't Mao Xue improving the earth cannon recently? I've got a few sketches here, and I'm looking for a good blacksmith to build a few barrels! ”
The original artillery barrel was made of bamboo barrels, and what Qin Hao has to do now is to replace the bamboo barrels with steel barrels.
Although Mao Xue was in charge of the improvement of the artillery on the surface, Tian Xiaoqian knew that it was Qin Hao who played a leading role in this, and when he saw that he really had something to do, he stopped talking.
Knowing that they didn't eat breakfast, when they visited a steamed bun shop, they bought ten meat buns, two for Qin Hao and eight for Huzi, as for herself, she really didn't have much appetite this morning.
The blacksmith shop is in the south of the city, and it is a father and son who are striking iron, surnamed Feng, when Qin Hao came in, they were beating a handful of pears, "Master, my name is Qin Hao, I want to beat a few steel pipes here, I don't know if you can build it?" ”
Qin Hao has been stationed in Anji County with his troops for a while, and even if the people of the entire Anji County don't know him, they know his name.
Therefore, as soon as Qin Hao finished registering, Blacksmith Feng stopped what he was doing and hurriedly replied, "I don't know what kind of steel pipe General Qin wants to play, the old man's craftsmanship is not far away, but it is still reasonable in Anji County." ”
"Of course, that's wrong, Qin Hao won't be here today!"
Qin Hao was telling the truth, because before he came, he had already made a good investigation, not to mention, he had also carefully looked at the sickle sent by the woman yesterday, the workmanship was very meticulous, and the iron used was all good iron.
A person who has to take even a small scythe seriously, Qin Hao has no reason not to believe it.
