Chapter Seventy-One: Drinking Water on Your Back and Stuffing Your Teeth

When the old man came, the Zhang family vacated three yards, and it was impossible for the old man to go to the guest house at this time, so he arranged the main personnel of his family first, and those guards didn't have to live in the yard.

After lunch, the old man and his party went to rest first, after all, they had been on the road for such a long time, and they would talk about it tomorrow.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan began to arrange the fleet, Xin'er had already revealed the news, the people of the Ning family might come over in ten days or so, and go by the waterway, and the two of them were busy blocking the waterway.

Come and don't be rude, isn't Qinzhou able to stop the caravan here and ask for money? forced Lu Zhou to bypass other roads, since this is the case, Lu Zhou will not stop them, they will be unhappy, and it is right to exchange courtesies.

The rice has already been partially harvested, and if you don't plan to beat the rice directly, you will directly transport it to the surrounding states, where some rice has also been replanted after the flood, which is ripe earlier than here, and the rice from this side will be exchanged with that side.

The relief things of the imperial court have also arrived, and they are given according to the number of people on the household register, and only three months' rations are given, all of which are old grains, and I don't know what other states have taken them, but Luzhou directly made those old grains to wine, and the wine is easier to sell by the sea.

As long as the price is cheaper, people who go to sea usually can't afford to drink alcohol, fishing is usually old and will have a body of illness, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are ready to distill some low-alcohol wine, which is higher than the degree of rice wine, and then sell it to those fishermen around it, you don't have to buy it with cash, you can exchange it for fish and shrimp.

When the disaster was first struck, Zhang Xiaobao didn't expect the imperial court to be able to send enough things over at a critical moment, it was impossible at all, and the grain delivered this time was just for people to count, and it was directly put into storage, the quantity was naturally wrong, it was originally old grain, and there was sand in it.

When the old man arrived at the place and was about to look around, Luzhou was about to finish harvesting the rice and the people were living a good life, Cao and Rui traveled all the way and finally came to the yamen, the state capital of Qinzhou.

Cao Herui, Fan Cambodia, Jiang Wanshi can be said to be in a hurry all the way, and it took such a short time to come, I have to say that the three of them have the shallow quality of becoming scouts, and outsiders don't know how much suffering the three of them have suffered.

The three of them walked out of a distance of almost a straight line, when they saw the yamen of the state capital of Qinzhou, the three of them cried with joy, at this time the clothes of the three people were all broken, one by one, and they didn't know how many wounds were scratched on their bodies, only their faces were so stained with mud, giving people the first impression that they had fled from elsewhere.

"See how much money is left? I always have to change my clothes to see Ning Tingshi, in the past, there seems to be no possibility of meeting, I still have thirty Wen here. ”

Jiang Wanshi looked at the yamen in front of her, but she didn't dare to go over, someone over there had already noticed the three of them, looking vigilant, if she went directly, it would be a big fate if she didn't get killed.

Thirty copper coins were found from his body and held them in his hand, Jiang Wanshi said to the two people.

Fan Cambodia also searched for the body and found twenty-two coins, and the two of them set their eyes on Cao Herui's body again, waiting for a surprise or the feeling of falling into hell.

Not to mention, Cao Herui has more money than the two of them, and there is even a piece of broken silver on his body, in addition to this more money, there are thirteen copper coins, and the three of them are relieved, these money can't buy good clothes, find a store to live in, and it's no problem to change into ordinary clothes.

The three of them were going to find an inn to rest for a day, and then change their clothes to come here to find someone, when a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child suddenly rushed over next to him, and the speed was called a fast, at least three people who saw hope and relaxed did not react.

The child flew past them, the copper coins and silver in Cao Herui's hands were gone, Jiang Wanshi and Fan Cambodia were better, the copper coins of the two of them were not worn, and the child left seven copper coins for the three of them when he caught them.

"Catch the thief, hurry up and catch him, don't let him run away, he stole our money." The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then they reacted, Cao and Rui chased in the direction where the child ran away, shouting while chasing, and the other two people also followed.

It's a pity that the child's endurance is obviously stronger than the three of them who have traveled a long way, and the explosiveness is also higher than them, they can't catch up with the child at all when they were pampered before, and the people in front of them heard the voices of the three of them, if the clothes on their bodies were slightly better, and the mud on their faces was a little less, maybe someone would help them stop the child.

But the three of them were so embarrassed that others looked at the children who were dressed well, and then looked at the three of them, and they all avoided them, afraid that the three of them would be caught and said that they had stolen their money after they were poor and crazy.

After only a while, the child ran away, and the three of them couldn't chase anymore, so they sat there paralyzed, clutching the Qiwen money in their hands, and looked over there in a daze.

With a snap, a half-eaten cake fell in front of the three people, and the bite was still stained with saliva, and a few sesame seeds were embedded in the cake, letting people know that this was called baked cake.

The cake is closest to Cao Herui, after seeing the cake, Cao Herui raised his head suspiciously, wanting to see what was going on, and when he looked up, he saw a strong man glancing at him and said: "This cake is not delicious, I don't want to eat it if I bite two, I will reward you, eat it quickly." ”

After speaking, this person was about to leave, Cao Herui couldn't bear it anymore, vented his anger at being robbed of money just now, and said to this person: "The dog looks down on people, you dare to throw this broken cake to us to eat?" You should gouge out those eyes. ”

"Huh? Reward you with half a cake, and you dare to scold? The first time I saw it, the one who asked for food was still too rancid, and I asked you to scold, scold, and scold hard. ”

As soon as this man saw that he was scolded, he went over and fought against the three people, and the three of them had already used a lot of physical strength to get to this place, and chased the robbers again, and how could they have the strength to fight with this strong man, and after a few strokes, they could only hold their heads and stand there.

After all, the strong man has a good heart, otherwise he would not give the bread to others to eat, after a few beatings, he shook his head and said: "Forget it, you three don't know what to do, let's see who can give you something to eat, it's a pity that I have this heart." ”

Throwing down this sentence, the strong man left, Cao Herui took his arm away, looked at the figure of the strong man in the distance, opened his mouth, but did not scold a word, but opened his mouth a little wider and cried.

The other two difficult brothers couldn't control it, the three of them hugged each other and cried bitterly, it was too aggrieved, when I was in Luzhou, I let the people bully, let Zhang Zhong bully, it was enough to bear, I didn't expect to just come to Qinzhou, I was bullied twice, the money was robbed, and I was beaten, and I couldn't find anyone after that.

Cao Herui cried for a while, and said to the two people: "I don't think we need any decency, fight once, see if we can meet people, what is the seven pennies enough for?" ”

Fan Cambodia wiped her snot and tears, and nodded, "Then let's go over, wait for the day when we become like the original, no, more powerful than the original, we won't let any of them go." ”

The three of them quickly reached an agreement, endured the pain in their bodies and walked to the state capital yamen, as soon as they arrived at the place, as the three of them expected, the gatekeeper immediately greeted him and scolded: "What are you doing?" If you want to eat, go elsewhere and get it, hurry up. ”

After finishing speaking, the gatekeeper turned around and went back, muttering, "Don't be ashamed of your face, you don't think half a cake is good, don't ask for food if it's not good." ”

"Wait." Cao Herui shouted, and after the janitor turned his head, he took the last seven cents left by the three of them, held it in his hand and handed it over.

"This brother, it's troublesome, I'll look for Ning Tingshi, let's just say that the three judges in Luzhou have something important to tell each other, I waited all the way to come here, just to tell Ning Tingshi about the matter, if the brother doesn't help pass the word, don't say that you didn't tell in advance if you have a business trip."

Cao Herui is a bribe and a threat, I hope this person can help, as long as he sees Ning Tingshi, I believe that everything will be easy to do, how to say that the three of them are also a judge now, plus there is an important matter, unless Ning Tingshi doesn't care about anything, he can settle it, change his clothes, get some wine and food, and find a place to rest.

The person guarding the door hesitated, he really couldn't figure out the identities of the three people, just now to the person in front of him, his face was darker, but when he handed over the money, he showed an arm, even if it was a little gray on it, it was also very fair, in case there was really something important to find Lord Shi, if he didn't give a report, he was delayed, and he couldn't afford to be guilty, but if it wasn't, it was still troublesome.

Cao Herui also understood this person's dilemma, and gave an idea: "Brother, you don't need to report this matter to Lord Thorn Shi first, find someone in charge first, if you are not afraid of losing the seal all the way, I will take the seal with me." ”

"Wait." The gatekeeper thought about it, and he didn't need to go over to say to the person in charge that these three people asked to see the assassination history, and only said that it was the three judges from Luzhou, and let the person in charge come and take a look.

Dropping two words, the gatekeeper glanced at the other three people who were also gatekeepers, and entered the yamen.

The three people left stared at Cao and Rui tightly, afraid that they would run away, now it is not a matter of whether they want to see or not, but if they don't want to see it, they should let the steward come out and take a look, although the seven cents are not much, but if it is really urgent, then the four of them can still get some reward, and they can find a small shop to have a drink after changing shifts.
