A total of 21 people went to Raozhou with Wu Yanzhi this time: Wu Yanzhi, Li Panpan, Ning Er, Zhang Tai, Jiang Shipeng, Cui Yu, Yao Kuan, Yufei, and eight other officials; The other is Wang Dong and the four guards.

Wu Yanzhi is a high-ranking official of the fifth grade, and he can bring his family members with him for free, not to mention that the emperor gave him a generous treatment according to the title, which is the second grade treatment!

Of course, family members can only use the coaches and horses of the post house for free, but they cannot eat for free.

Since Jiang Shipeng and others were the staff and officials of the special envoy, they could also stay at the post station and eat for free.

Of course, officials and officials have their own standards, which is a national regulation, and it is not uniform, and the living expenses of officials are much lower.

As for Wang Dong, they were not qualified to eat and live at the post station, but at the hotel next to the post station, which was actually the same.

Because the inn is generally run by the post chief who manages the post station, and the post chief is a big family in the county, and he also holds the post of the guard. Of course, the people who served at the post station were peasants who served as soldiers in turns.

The rooms in the post station are also divided into sizes and grades, and generally speaking, officials of the same rank will naturally live first if they arrive first! But if you encounter a higher level, you have to give it to others!

However, Wu Yanzhi is given to the post according to the title of the second grade, and generally no one will come to grab it. Because it is rare to see officials above the first rank in the imperial court, at least officials or princes above the "third prince and third prince".

Wu Yanzhi's plan is ninety miles a day, just three post stations, and there are no old and weak people anyway, so it is necessary to speed up the progress.

He planned to return to his hometown to get married, and he had to delay it for ten to fifteen days, and he had to get this time back.

……

Starting from Luoyang and arriving at Luyang Pass, a total of 320 miles, they arrived on time on the afternoon of the fourth day according to the original plan.

Luyang Pass is located in the dangerous place of Funiu Mountain, after this pass, the front is Dengzhou.

The group stood against the sun and walked sleepily.

Wu Yanzhi decided to rest here and leave tomorrow.

The staff and others who followed them all offered to see the Great Wall here, and they heard that the earliest Great Wall here ----- the Great Wall of Chu! The Great Wall of Chu was built more than 1,000 years ago during the reign of King Wen of Chu (678 BC).

Of course, Wu Yanzhi agreed, because his favorite scenery to see was mountains, not water. Although there are some memories of Luyang Pass in my mind, it is better to take a closer look at the sunset on the way.

Everyone handed over the inspection, and as soon as they entered the customs, the customs order received a notice from the officials sent by Jiang Shipeng in advance, so they hurriedly led the officials to come out to greet them. This Luyang Guan City is inferior to the level, and the customs order is the lowest from the ninth grade.

"Humble Liu Bin greets the holy mission!"

"Liu Ling has worked hard! I'll rest here tonight and arrange the room! ”

"Okay! The lowly post immediately sent someone to arrange the meal, and asked the holy messenger and a few staff officers to go to the hall with the lowly post to rest for a while, and the meal will be good for a while! "He was humble.

Everyone followed him to the hall, where they felt that it was very cool and ventilated on all sides.

After sitting down for tea, Wu Yanzhi asked, "I see, there don't seem to be many people coming and going in this Luyang Pass?" ”

"That's true! Those who come from Chang'an must go to Lantian Pass! Even those who went south from Luoyang, most of them went directly to the front line of Xuzhou! There aren't many people who go through this level!

I heard that this pass will soon be changed to an ordinary post station, and all the responsibilities of the inspection station will be handed over to the post chief! But that's fine, I've just been here for four years, and it's time to change places! ”

"By the way, I heard that there are tens of thousands of displaced people in Funiu Mountain, and there are mountain bandits, but is the truth?" Wu Yanzhi asked suddenly.

As soon as he heard this, Liu Bin's face changed suddenly, and he immediately said: "The humble post is about to report this matter to the Wujun Gongyu, An Liumin is not terrible, after all, they are all ordinary people, but there are indeed two bandits in this mountain."

Fifty miles to the east of this place, there is a mountain range called Black Bear Ridge! There is a mountain bandit on the Black Bear Ridge, and their whereabouts are uncertain.

The leader was named 'Gou Chong', forty-five or sixteen years old. He used to be a team leader in the Folding Mansion, but later he didn't know why he became a mountain bandit. There were more than a dozen people in this group, and no one could figure out the exact number.

Thirty miles south of here, there is also a group of strongmen, and there seem to be more than 20 people. The leader was a hunter, named Lock Goose Throat Sang Hongfei, about thirty years old.

He is very accurate in archery, and he is also very cunning. However, Sang Hongfei is said to have robbed officials only a few times, and this person is even more difficult to track.

Both gangs of bandits have gone through several clearances by the government, but they have not been captured. For this reason, the history of Dengzhou's assassination has changed twice in the past year.

It's the bad handsome people in Xiangcheng County under the mountain, and there is another person who was killed by the stabbing rod because of his poor arrest of thieves!"
