Chapter 690: Where is the Hidden Ship?

Judging from the map, the distance from Hangzhou to Poyang Lake, that is, Pengli Lake, the map of the small dots is nothing more than a slap away, but it is not easy to walk.

It is also a horseback riding and a fast carriage, it has been eight days of road, Zhang Xiaobao and others are still two days away from the purpose of this trip, mainly when they encounter the mountain, they need to take the plank road, and the speed is not fast if they want to.

Fortunately, the important water systems of Datang have received more and more attention under the vigorous promotion of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, so the roads along the coast are also well repaired.

At present, the annual cost of maintenance and repair of the imperial court alone is no less than 10 million yuan, which is a large amount, accounting for 16 or 7 of the fiscal revenue.

And it is still increasing every year, and the money for maintenance is not practical, and most of it is invested in improving the fields around the various water systems.

Without such a large investment, it is impossible to have so much financial revenue, in the case of land transportation speed is not good, waterways account for a large proportion of logistics applications, especially when the water, and then downwind, sail down, even if the fast horse runs on the shore, it is not as good as the ship in the water.

When the horses are exhausted, the ships do not need to rest, and the technology of shipbuilding is now more advanced.

Therefore, the carriage of Zhang Xiaobao and others is now only half a day's journey away from Duchang, and the roads along the river are relatively wide enough, and there is a distance of five meters between the traffic and the traffic.

It is all paved with earth and gravel, and then flattened with large stones, and there is a road paved with gravel for people to walk on the side, which is not wide, but there is absolutely no problem for people to walk.

The reason why the road the horse walks is not cement, is because of the problem of the horse's hooves, Zhang Xiaobao specially let people test, even if the horse is slapped, it still can't run on the cement road, the wear is too bad, and the heat generated in the process of friction is also easy to hurt the horse.

When it rains, the road along the river is not very easy to walk, there are muddy places, horses and other livestock pass on it, every hooves fall, will leave a small hole on the road, the rain goes in, and it does not dry for a long time.

Now Zhang Xiaobao and the five of them have encountered this trouble, when there is still nearly half a day to go from Duchang, a moderate rain fell, and in less than half an hour, the road flattened by the stones was moistened by the rain, and the horse's hooves fell up, and each time it brought up a little dirt.

At this moment, the person driving the car was changed from Zhang Xiaobao to Zhang Yu, Zhang Xiaobao was in disguise, afraid of being beaten by the rain, even if there was grease in the things used for makeup, it was easy to be washed down.

"It's almost thirty miles, isn't it? Go to the front pavilion to take a rest, look at the sky, and estimate that the rain will not be too long. Wang Juan lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the rain outside, and said to Zhang Yu, who was sitting in front of him.

"I see the pavilion." Zhang Yu, who was wearing a hat, looked through the not thick rain curtain, saw the pavilion in front of him, and replied to the people in the car.

The pavilion along the river is dedicated to people to rest, there is one every thirty miles, which is similar to that of Sanshui County, which is much stronger than before, not to mention the pavilion that is dedicated to mén repair, even if the village with a little more people is next to it, it is difficult to find a place to rest alone.

In the past, if people traveled, if they didn't dare to take a boat or couldn't afford to take a boat, they could only walk on their feet, and if they were tired, they could find a nearby place, and if they could meet a village, it would be good.

When encountering a crowded place, there may be a simple shed set up there for pedestrians to rest and eat, basically not making money, the walking people do not have much money on them, and the food is also brought from home, there are dry cakes, there are fried rice, of course, the noodles are not pure white noodles.

When you get to the resting place, if you don't want to have money and tea, then you can only ask for a bowl of cold water to drink, just eat something, and if you are not hungry, you will naturally sleep by the shed, otherwise you will easily encounter wild beasts.

Now it is much more convenient to have a pavilion, thirty miles each, and twenty miles where the road is very difficult, and there are people from nearby villages who are specially guarded, and it is allowed to use hunting bows, hunt wild beasts or something, sell them for money, or eat them yourself.

A few minutes later, the carriage came to the pavilion, where many passers-by were already waiting, and there was a fire in the pavilion, and the kettle on top was steaming, ready for people to drink hot water.

Speaking of the upper pavilion, it is not actually the kind that is ventilated on all sides, but a two-story building, below which is a layer of cement and brick, which is three meters high, and above is a pavilion built of wood on the top of a house built of cement.

The house below was built together when Zheng Zheng built the embankment, there was no pavilion above, but the locals felt that the house was strong, but it was not good-looking, so they went from the mountain to the wood, and built a pavilion on the top, which is beautiful.

With the appearance of the first pavilion, there was a second, and as a result, all the pavilions on both sides of the Yangtze River had their own characteristics, and some people even hung wind chimes in the corners of the pavilions.

The pavilion where Zhang Xiaobao and others stayed is very beautiful, with four corners on it, and people have smeared the red face with lacquer, and some of the sides have not yet been smeared, and the black and yellow wood inside, I think the lacquer is not enough.

There was a fence around the pavilion, made of wood, three feet high, and there were other seats put together there, and there were three people who went to the pavilion to take shelter from the rain standing on it, feeling the coolness of the rain blown by the wind outside, and it is estimated that when the rain stopped, the clothes on the three of them were all soaked.

The rest of the people were not in that mood, they all stayed below, some came early, there was a seat, they sat there, and those who came late squatted or stood, holding tea or wine in their hands, eating what they brought, and those who had a lot of spare money and were willing to eat other food in the hands of the people guarding the pavilion.

There are two people guarding the pavilion, one is about fifty years old, and the other is in his thirties.

The older ones have wrinkled faces, and the thirties have a slightly inconvenient path, and they can walk with smaller steps than normal people, and they can't use their strength, so they may have been injured.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't see that the other party had polio, but the tuǐ was not very comfortable, and there was no problem elsewhere.

There is also a spear and a longbow hung on the wall, which are used for hunting, don't look at the road repair is good now, but there are still many wild beasts, and it is impossible for military guns to be given to ordinary people.

Knowledge hunting bow allowed the people to use, occasionally a wild boar came out of the mountains, or a wolf and a tiger or something, which Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't have to think about at that time, if they wanted to see such animals, in addition to the place where they were specially bred, it was a zoo.

And the control of knives and spears is even more relaxed, not to mention the common people, even if he is a literati, no one cares with a sword, and self-defense is indispensable.

When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at the pavilion, the people in the room also looked at the five of them, the carriage stopped not far in front of Mén, the horses had rain gear on their backs, and the people in the house could clearly see the three horses.

At this glance, I knew that the five people who came in were not ordinary people, the horses were good, and even those who did not know how to use horses could feel that three horses were much stronger than the horses used to plow the land.

This is the south of the Yangtze River, there are few horses to cultivate the land, and the horses transported from other places are usually carts, and now they are basically oxen, and the horses of the original Turks and Tibetans, as well as the surplus military horses, are used in the north.

The main reason is that horses are not very good at plowing paddy fields, and they are not as good as cattle, but in dry fields, cattle are far inferior to horses.

These three horses, at a glance, know that they are eliminated military horses, when they start a battle, they don't know how effective they are, but there is absolutely no problem with pulling a cart, even if they do not require short sprints, the speed of this kind of horse is faster than that of a horse that specializes in pulling a cart, and the endurance depends on what kind of horse it is.

If it is a horse that has been eliminated by a border army and has been used for long-distance running, there is absolutely nothing to say about endurance, but if it is replaced by a horse used to fight a key counterattack assault in the city, what is required is not endurance, but a sprint speed in a short period of time.

The three horses in front of them didn't know which one they belonged to, but if they guessed, they felt that they could run long distances, otherwise if they pulled the cart, they would not be as good as a mule.

There was a guess in his heart, so the quick-talking person asked and asked Zhang Xiaobao: "The horse is good, how much did you buy it?" ”

He talked to Zhang Xiaobao because Zhang Xiaobao's dress was the head of the other four people, Ning Tian's appearance, he was not a particularly close person, and he couldn't see the difference between Zhang Xiaobao and Ning Tian at all.

The figure and face shape are very close, which is why Zhang Xiaobao has to talk to Ning Tian more, at the beginning, he just wanted to talk, and after meeting Ning Tian, Zhang Xiaobao temporarily had other ideas, so he asked Wang Juan to draw a few more pictures.

If Ning Tian cuts his short flat head and shaves off his beard, then Zhang Xiaobao will be in trouble, and he won't be able to dress up now, and he usually shaves the prisoner's head for this reason, in addition to hygiene, it is more easy to identify.

Hearing someone ask, Zhang Xiaobao said to the person sitting there drinking in the voice of Ning Tian, who imitated it: "It's not much, it's not expensive, I bought it casually from a family on the road." ”

When others heard his words, they naturally didn't believe it, but they felt that he didn't want to say it deeply, so no one had to bī him say it, and everyone was not familiar with it.

At this time, the people who were not very convenient saw the five people coming in behind, and their eyes lit up, and it could be seen from the clothes on the five people that they belonged to the kind of wealthy.

If you have money, you can make more money, the role of the pavilion is to provide convenience to passers-by, even if people don't have money, stay in the pavilion, and the guards of the pavilion are not allowed to drive people, and the hot water is also free.

The only way to get money is that someone is willing to eat something else, and the pavilion is built by the river, and the fish in the river are indispensable, as well as wine and tea, and the other food prepared by each pavilion keeper himself.

Of course, even if there is no additional income, it is nothing, all the people who guard the pavilion have subsidies from the government, such as those who are physically inconvenient, they will be arranged in, and they are not allowed to leave casually, let alone go outside to hunt and play.

If a pavilion is in trouble, such as a wolf pack besieging it, then the people guarding the pavilion will hide in the pavilion when they see that they can't beat it, and then send a signal that it is to release smoke huā and wolf smoke, and someone will come to help.

As for the fact that someone hurt the people guarding the pavilion in the pavilion, it is impossible to happen now, and now that the people of the Tang Dynasty are living well, who has the time to harm others.

If someone really dares to say that the mountain is king, and then rob passers-by, such as running to 800 miles of Shuibo Liangshan or something, pick up the banner today, and tomorrow the cannon will bulldoze the mountain you occupy.

Not to mention that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have developed the Tang Dynasty for such a long time, even if the two of them have not come over to develop, there are not many Datang death row prisoners in this period.

If you have jīng power, it is better to find a way to do more work that can make more money, robbery is not easy to walk, once you find out, you will inevitably be caught.

Therefore, the people who guard the pavilion do not make much money relatively much, but their lives are stable, and they will not do anything ròu buns, the heroes of the green forest have long been extinct, and there are no big gangs, which is an organization composed of the children of small rich families.

They are considered an underworld, but they don't dare to hurt people, generally speaking, they go up to the mountains to hunt, or they swagger through the street or something, raise a dog, fight a jī, even if it is their underworld, they want to collect protection money, and they are directly arrested.

The business of Zhang Wang's two families is all over Datang, once a branch finds such a thing, someone will immediately come to check, and if they find it, they will definitely clean it up.

In peace, the people guarding the pavilion wanted to make more money, so the people who were inconvenient deliberately came over with a tray and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Brother, are you hungry?" ”

"I'm hungry." Zhang Xiaobao is actually not hungry, but if people want to make money, they have to help others, how can you make money if you don't buy others, give money directly to others, people absolutely don't want it, unless it is to show your identity, saying that you are Zhang Xiaobao, in that case, throw out a handful of money, people can accept it, and then take it home and use it as a talisman for your relatives at home.

The person guarding the pavilion didn't know what Zhang Xiaobao thought, and when he heard the other party say that he was hungry, he couldn't help but smile on his face and asked, "What do you eat?" ”

"What to eat, five people's servings, don't nòng too much, can't eat it all." Zhang Xiaobao spoke, looking around to find a position.

Before he could figure out how to get someone else to make a table come out, the older man had already taken a folding table from the adjacent walled room, squeezed out an empty space, and put it away, along with five wooden stools, the kind without backrests.

"Old man Qi, why didn't you take out the table when we came? Is it because we usually pay less for what we usually eat? Seeing the table, someone joked to the old man.

"There is a boudoir nv, it's not good to let the nv baby stand." The old man surnamed Qi didn't care about the other party's statement at all, and casually found a reason.

Zhang Yu was clever, smiling at the surroundings, showing due kindness, and quickly went over to wipe the table, and rubbed the stool with his sleeves, looking like a subordinate.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan sat down unceremoniously, the dishes were immediately put on the table, there were no hot dishes, all were cold, the only hot thing was boiled tea eggs, and normal salty eggs, there were a lot, this thing was hungry to eat, and it was easy to carry, it was not easy to break, and it could still be eaten after three or five days.

The dishes on the table include dried fish, marinated jī, and a plate of mixed greens, plus smoked ròu of unknown animals.

Zhang Xiaobao is not worried about others poisoning him, unless the person guarding the pavilion is more powerful than him, knows how to disguise and hide, and also knows his identity and specializes in harming him.

Stretched out his chopsticks and took a slice of chopped smoked ròu, put it in his mouth and chewed it, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Wang Juan: "Yes, the ròu of wild boar is hard to bite, and it tastes good." ”

As soon as they heard that it was a wild boar, Wang Gang and the three of them also moved their chopsticks, usually they were busy doing things, and they couldn't eat at all, unless they had no tasks, they returned to their own branch, and then made a special report on what they wanted to eat, and the above could give them nòng.

Especially Wang Gang, a spy officer belonging to the Zhang and Wang families, has the best benefits, and generally the amount of things that are not particularly scarce can be eaten when he applies for them, including peppers, potatoes and tomatoes.

"Old man Qi, I came over after work yesterday and asked you if you have any wild boars, what did you tell me? Said it was all eaten, and it was available today? ”

The person who had just made fun said to the old man again.

"You kid knows how to eat, wild boar ròu is expensive, save you money, go home to your mother-in-law, you still don't want to, if you eat every day, all the money you earn from working is gone, be careful that your mother-in-law doesn't let you in, the old man glared at each other, and said.

"She dares, I lend her two guts, there is no wild boar ròu, Hu Dou always has it, right? I really didn't have a plate of brine beans, so I went back after drinking, and it looked like I couldn't continue to work today. ”

Before he finished his wine, he had eaten a plate of smoked jīròu.

Zhang Xiaobao glanced at Wang Gang, Wang Gang stood up, got out of the mén and returned to the car, and took a short time to get back a large oil paper bag, opened it, and took out the contents of it.

The ròu, which is darker than the smoked wild boar ròu Yan sè, was eaten by Zhang Xiaobao on the way out, and the marinated donkey ròu, ordinary people can't eat it either, it is similar to a cow, it belongs to the labor force, and the needs of each family need to be filed in the government, even if you are sick, you have to tell someone, don't look at the livestock is yours.

"When I came over, I brought some donkey ròu, at that time, the donkey that had just had a family accidentally died, I bought a piece, I tasted it, there were many ròu, I ate it along the way, and I got tired of eating."

As soon as Wang Gang spoke, he began to hand out donkeys to others, piece by piece, also cut, he had just cut in the car.

As soon as they heard that it was a donkey ròu, and that it was also eaten by others, the people in the house expressed their gratitude and became more talkative.

In the end, there was a little left, Wang Gangquan gave it to the person who made fun of the old man Qi just now, and said with a smile: "It's not good to live on a rainy day, your surname?" ”

"Don't be expensive, your surname is Liu, and your name is a long word, you have been on the road for a long time, right?" As soon as the other party saw that people gave more donkeys, they became more enthusiastic.

"It turned out to be Brother Liu, we have walked for many days, and the road is still easy to walk, I heard the old man say that if you want to walk the same road before, you will have to take at least three times as much time."

Wang Gang didn't use other excuses to be perfunctory, and directly said that he and the others came from afar, and talked gossip, which was very emotional.

"That's right, put it ten years ago, not to mention three times the time, five times as long as him, at that time the riverside road was not easy to walk, next to the cliff is the forest, walking in it is fearful, during the day it is good to say, at night accidentally lose a life is too common.

You were still young at that time, you shouldn't have walked through, that year and month rush is not as good as now, you have to calculate, how far to walk every day, where to rest, don't dare to walk casually, don't go into the forest when you encounter it, there is a snake and insect inside, bite to kill.

Now it's okay, don't be afraid, build the road along the riverside, repair a little wider every day, after a few years, it will become the way it is, want to hurry, come out at any time, don't worry, find a pavilion to rest when you're tired, you can't eat in the wind, and you can't be hungry.

Even if you don't have a penny on your body, when you get to the pavilion, you still have food that doesn't cost money, but the taste is not very good, and you can eat the thick corn as you like, even if you go all the way from here to the capital, you don't have to beg for food, unless you exhaust yourself to death. ”

When Liu Changyi spoke, he also had a lot of emotion, talking about the past, and comparing it with the present, it can be said that he remembers bittersweet memories.

When he said this, the people around him also echoed him, talking about how he was in the past and how he is now, and there was no lack of praise for the Tang Emperor Li Longji in his words, and more about Xiaobao Juan.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at each other and smiled happily, and Wang Gang and the three of them were also honored, especially Wang Gang, this is what the protagonist Xiao Gongzi and Xiao Niang did, who would have thought of what it was like today ten years ago?

After being happy for a moment, he continued to say to Liu Chang: "Brother Liu, I don't know what kind of work you do? Can't go out on a rainy day? ”

"It's not a good job, it's just 20 wen a day, just by the river, show people the boat, see where the ship is bad, help repair the ship, we are six people together, specialize in doing this, don't listen to the easy to watch the ship, ordinary people can't do this."

Speaking of the money he earned, the words were modest, but the expression and tone were not modest at all, twenty wen a day, I think it does not include the cost of repairing the ship.

Wang Gang hurriedly showed that you were very powerful, and said: "It turns out that it is a handicraft, amazing, I don't know how to look at the boat, the boat, don't you know how to use it yourself?" Give me a boat, and I'll take care of it. ”

"If you use it yourself, you can also know where there is máo disease, but when I look at the boat, I don't look at the máo disease in front of me, but after looking at it, I tell you, some boats don't look like anything, but if you don't repair it well, the years of use will be short, wait for the people who have the boat to see it, and the money will be more, and the boat will save a year of money if you use it for an extra year, which is not cheap."

Liu Chang began to tell Wang Gang about the importance of watching the ship.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan listened with a smile, they really didn't know that the boat was also used by others, they only knew that the previous cars needed to be watched, and people with great car repair skills sat in the house on the side of the road, and the car passed all the way, just listening to the sound to know whether the car had máo disease, and where there was máo disease.

Maybe the person who sees through it is just like the average person who drives, and the simple máo disease can be repaired by himself, but the real craftsmanship is absolutely none.

Wang Gang chatted with the people in the house and talked about the affairs of Duchang, knowing that it is now very strict, and it is under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou, and he also knows that Xunyang Mansion is still allowed to enter but not leave, and only the local people working at the wharf can go out of the city to the wharf to transport goods under the condition of mutual guarantee.

"Brother Liu, do you know what fun things are in Duchang? My lord just likes this kind of thing, such as fighting crickets, putting an eagle or something, anything that can make people comfortable and enjoyable, my lord is willing to try.

Seeing that you are about to get to the place, you will go on the road as soon as the rain stops, but you can't get over there and have a black eye, if you know, you can tell me. ”

After chatting for a while, when the rain began to lighten, Wang Gang finally asked his purpose.

When Liu Chang heard Wang Gang's question, he looked mysterious and said, "Now you are asking the right person, do you know where I am?" I'm the one you want to inquire about in Duchang, where the six of us have a shipbuilding place, specializing in building fishing boats, and many of the fishing boats in the lake are built by us.

Originally, the life has been very peaceful, who would have thought that someone would kill Xiaobei them, although it was not successful, but we are also strict there, especially the people who beg for a living in the lake, they have to check every day, when to go out, where to go fishing, or to carry people, they have to ask.

If you can't answer, or if you stumble, you will inevitably be arrested, and then carefully checked, life is not as good as before, and our shipbuilders are also not easy to take over.

In the past, if someone wanted to build a ship, they could just come and give a deposit, but now they have to go through several procedures before they can allow us to build a ship.

I couldn't get a job for a few days in a row, and other people had no livelihood, so I had to come out and find something to do, but there was no way. ”

"Huh? Brother Liu, you can't live anymore? Wang Gang asked in surprise.

"Young man, don't listen to his nonsense, he wants to make more money, the investigation is strict, that is the talent of Xunyang City can't do things, and Duchang is not greatly affected." Old man Qi spoke up beside him.

Liu Chang smiled and said: "Yes, I want to make more money, do you think, the Zhang and Wang families have put the entire Jiangzhou under martial law, and they will definitely be compensated when the time comes.

But I'm not staying at home now, I come out to do things, and I earn an extra day of money by doing a day's work, otherwise how dare I use most of the money I earn every day to eat and drink, and still save some money? Just because there is compensation. ”

"Zhang and Wang said that they were compensated?" Zhang Xiaobao asked.

Liu Chang shook his head: "I didn't say it, but I believe that I will definitely compensate for it, the Zhang and Wang families are the pillars of the Tang Dynasty, and they will not deliberately harm us, and they will not be inferior to our money."

Actually, to say a word of conscience, it doesn't matter if they don't compensate us, it's just that the work has been delayed for a while, the family has a little savings, and I can't starve to death, I'm also very angry.

If I let me know who did it, I will chisel him to death with a chisel, if only when the matter is over, it would be good if the Zhang and Wang families did not directly compensate, it is best to help come up with ideas, so that it will be easier for us to make money in the future, so how can I say that? If you give people a fish, it is better to teach them how to catch fish.

Living a long life, you have to take a long-term view, now it's not what it used to be, I'm always worried about having a meal or not, now it's three meals a day, and there is money saved in the bank. ”

Zhang Xiaobao thanked him, turned his head and continued to drink, while Wang Gang asked Liu Chang again: "Brother Liu, since you are from Duchang, it is better to talk about the fun things there, such as ordinary people who can't afford to play, and what else is like worshipping the Buddha." ”

Wang Gang just wants to know if ordinary people also know about the drug use, if they also understand, it means that the other party has begun to do it blatantly, if not, it means that the other party is still afraid.

Liu Chang didn't answer immediately this time, but lowered his head and thought about it, pondered for a moment, raised his head and said: "If you want to say something interesting, it can only be on the lake.

Now there are more pleasure boats there, I heard that there is a pleasure boat, has not docked, hiding in some remote place, ordinary people can't find it, but people who have been there say that it is good, and there are officials in the past.

I don't know how detailed it is, I haven't been on the boat, and ordinary people can't get up, I only heard that there are places for them in the city before, but then they were strict, and they have no news.

But you should be careful in the past, I wonder if it is not a good place, I heard the person who let us build the ship mention once, there are any miracles there, they are all rumored, and there is also a saying that Xiaobao and Juan Juan are some kind of monsters, anyway, I don't believe it.

They shouldn't be good people, don't play if you can, there are places in the city to fight dogs, you can go buy a few dogs, it's just too bloody to look at, good dogs, you have to let them bite each other, why bother. ”

Liu Chang's words were a little incoherent, as if he was avoiding something, and he seemed to be a little angry.

Zhang Xiaobao looked at Liu Chang's appearance, and he already understood many things in his heart, that force is no longer small, but he always likes to keep it like to be something, so the people don't want to mention it, people who believe in ghosts and gods have existed since ancient times, and there will never be less.

And the spy personnel of his own family probably did not find the ship, perhaps the other party's secrecy measures are very perfect, and the spy personnel do not want to catch the other party's people in the city, so as not to let the people on the boat who are hiding find out, so as to slip through the net.

What I don't understand is why the intelligence officers at home can't follow the trail to find the ship, since there are local officials who are also there, it's very interesting.

Thinking like this, Zhang Xiaobao looked at the sky outside, the rain became lighter, and if he went out, he didn't have to worry about getting soaked at all.

Then he nodded to Wang Juan, drank the wine in the bowl, and said to Zhang Nan and Zhang Yu, "Prepare to leave." ”

Zhang Nan and the two of them saw that there was still some food on the plate, opened their mouths, and pulled it all into their stomachs, pack it, maybe no one will eat it at that time, it's too little, it's not worth it, throw it away, and I'm afraid that the people in the house will say that they are waiting for someone to pay for it.

got into the car, and the person who drove the car this time was Zhang Nan.

After the car walked out for a while, Wang Juan said the same idea as Zhang Xiaobao just now, and asked, "Xiaobao, why do you say that our family can't find each other's boat?" And that Hu Liang, where are the eight of them now, and there has been no news back, isn't this Datang? ”

"When we get to the place, it is estimated that they used other means, maybe after the officials got on the boat, they dropped the bag, after all, our people can't follow too closely, in that case, if they are discovered, they can only catch small fish and shrimp as soon as they run away, it seems that our plan should be changed."

I'm worried that after Ning Tian has been operating here for so long, he has been in Hangzhou for a while, and the forces that belong to him here have been controlled by others, and the cooperation like theirs is already unstable, and stabbing in the back is very common.

It's still unclear, after entering Duchang, depending on the situation, and then deal with it temporarily, if it is more food involved, and it is still dominant, what are you going to do? ”

Zhang Xiaobao can't know what is going on there, because others are not stupid, it is impossible to do what he thinks, he can only rely on his understanding of people, and then guess, not every time he can guess correctly, and there are times when liars are powerless.

The car fell silent for a while, and by the evening, it was completely clear, and the city of Duchang appeared in front of me, and there was a beautiful rainbow in the sky, reflecting the sunset at sunset.

Of course, along the way, Zhang Xiaobao found several groups of people who were following him, all of whom were spy officers from his own family, some dressed as people carrying burdens, some were riding horses, and there was also a team of relatives, who also sat in a carriage and followed their carriage out for a distance.

Seeing this team, Zhang Xiaobao was happy, his family's spy personnel were idle, pretending to be bad, and he had to pretend to be married, which obviously looked at the power of other people was not as big as his own family, and he couldn't check whether someone was really married.

After entering the city, finding an inn, choosing a small courtyard, and the five of them instructed the men to serve wine and food, Zhang Xiaobao said to everyone: "I have decided, in the future, I will strictly investigate the use of funds of the Espionage Department." ”

"Little boy, it's not easy to check the use of funds, for example, I now have more than 500 yuan of money on my body, I don't know when I need to use it, once I use it, I don't have any certificates, such as gifts, to give people a good relationship, I can't let people write me a certificate."

Wang Gang felt that what Zhang Xiaobao said was very difficult to do, and the Ministry of Intelligence had a lot of dark things to do, so it was inevitable that it would be impossible to remember every penny and then go back for reimbursement, so it could only be according to the situation in which he was located, and then take the money every once in a while.

When you use a lot of money, you can apply for an additional fee, but when the money is in your own hands, the people above can't control it, and you say that for something huā drop ten wen, that is ten wen, and say twenty wen, even if it's just huā five wen, the excess is left to yourself.

Of course, I won't do that, there is no point, my relatives are staying in the place where Zhang Wang's two families specialize, there is no shortage of food and clothing, there is no shortage of money, it is not worth it to be greedy for money, if you are greedy, it is easy for you to lose your life, and your family will be unhappy.

Zhang Nan also thought of this, and then said: "Little boy, why did you think of checking the funds? ”

"Don't listen to Xiaobao, he's just joking, the people who are following us today, didn't you see a team of marriages, Xiaobao means that they actually have money to get married, hehe."

Wang Juan smiled and explained to the three 'guys', she also thought it was very interesting, the people in her family's spy system, they had no ability to check the other party's ship, and they pretended to be very similar to others.

After explaining, Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao again: "Being able to come up with a way to get married and follow up shows that our people are smart, and it may not be useful in Datang, they are probably also for practice, and when they get outside, who would have thought that intelligence officers would use such a method?" It can also be regarded as a kind of atmosphere, who stipulates that those who do intelligence must live like ghosts and hide in the shadows all day long. ”

"Okay, let's just practice, it is estimated that if they continue to practice, they can even arrange red and white ceremonies together, that is really lively, form a group to cheat." Zhang Xiaobao also laughed.

The five of them had a good rest that day, and the next morning, Wang Gang went to rent a large courtyard, moved all the things he brought in, and went to buy the materials requested by Zhang Xiaobao, and the five of them got together to make smoking guns.

The cigarette gun used for chōu opium should be made well, especially in the mouth, not as simple as the cigarette pouch pot, which is filled with tobacco and lit directly, which can chōu for a long time, and the large cigarette pouch pot is more resistant to chōu than a cigarette.

The chōu opium is not good, who dares to pretend to be opium paste like that, in addition to being able to chōu death, the main problem is that it cannot be ignited and cannot be burned.

It can only be a puff of chōu, lit once, and it can't light a fire continuously, it can make a person chōu faint, usually a small point of nòng, pick it with a thin wire or something, and then burn it with an open flame, and the chōu person will inhale it vigorously, and the smoke that comes out will enter the mouth.

After a puff of chōu, the smoke is not exhaled immediately, but is held in the lungs, and then exhaled slowly.

If someone pinches the body and pounds it or something, it will be even better, as for what kind of hallucination can be generated, it depends on each person's own thoughts.

People who smoke chōu smoke are just chōu smokers and don't eat because they taste bad, and it is easy to turn the taste of big smoke into something else.

At the same time, you can't drink a glass of red wine like chōu cigar, chōu smoke and drink, that's a life, after a big addiction, even a few sips of chōu will make people become erratic, and at the same time enter a state of sleep, not sleep, not want to eat anything, just hope that the fairy-like feeling will never go away.

Therefore, many chōu opium people are depressed and sluggish, and people are in a trance all day long, and their bodies are thin and weak, but they are not absolute.

"Xiaobao, what did you fantasize about when you used to take drugs?" Wang Juan asked when he watched Zhang Xiaobao make a sample, and then asked the three guys to go to another room to do it.

"There is everything, sometimes it is pure relaxation, I feel very happy, it seems that there is no pressure in life, maybe many people take drugs because of this, it is similar to drinking to a certain state, but drinking may not be comfortable every time.

I've never smoked opium, I've never had an injection, I've taken small yào pills, I've smoked powder, it's a very pure kind, sometimes I feel like I'm infinitely strong, and sometimes I think I'm somewhere else.

The most interesting thing is that when I inhaled too much mí paste, I thought I was awake, and then I walked on the road, and there was nothing on the ground, but when I looked at it, I found that there was money, the same as a dream, but more real than a dream.

Most of the time, I will see the dean's grandfather, and it is precisely because I saw my grandfather that I can easily quit after I am addicted to drugs, because what is comfortable is the nerves, but my grandfather is in the depths of my soul. ”

Zhang Xiaobao introduced to Wang Juan the various feelings he felt when he took drugs, and also explained why he could easily quit drugs.

"Oh, isn't it just that subconsciously, you keep telling yourself that you are an orphan, unlike other people, who feel that you are living a happy life, no matter how you fantasize about it, you can't be sure that the children in the orphanage will be happy, right?"

Wang Juan thought along with Zhang Xiaobao's words, and felt that Zhang Xiaobao should belong to such a situation, because of dreams, sometimes he would wake up, and after the dream was too exaggerated, he didn't believe it.

Without waiting for Zhang Xiaobao to answer, Wang Juan asked again: "Then when you were taking drugs, you were also emaciated and depressed?" ”

"That's the reason, I guess it's that I don't understand it anyway, if the subconscious thing can be studied and controlled, then the first place to apply it is the army.

It's the same as sleepwalking, but it's more powerful than sleepwalking, because it can be controlled, when many people sleepwalk, they run very fast, and even climb down the rain channel of a dozen floors without any training, and when you make him sober, he will never dare, really bī climb, there is a high probability that he can fall to death.

Someone has studied that in the state of sleepwalking, people can fully exert the limits of their own body's movements, and even have a certain probability of breaking through the limits. There is a big gap between self-hypnosis and controlling the subconscious, although it seems to be about the same. ”

Zhang Xiaobao said yearningly, he really hopes that he can also control his subconscious, then the speed of learning things is fast, and there is absolutely no problem with martial arts or something.

After two slaps of opium, black as when the asphalt was dry, Zhang Xiaobao continued: "When I take drugs, I don't have a bad health and a state of malaise, because I smoke pure, and the amount is very well controlled.

Under normal circumstances, the reason why drug abuse becomes poor health is that there is no regular absorption, and the purity of the drugs bought is different every time, sometimes more, sometimes less, and if you smoke less, you still want to continue to smoke, and when you smoke again, you want to suck back the feeling when you smoke less.

It's like sleeping, sleeping less and wanting to make up for it, but sleeping longer, irregular, not advisable, not to mention pure expensive, after the addiction is getting bigger and bigger, I can't afford it, so I have to prick the needle, which is directly in the blood. ”

"Oh, it's mostly a question of purity and regularity, of course, everything is premised on money, right? Just have money. "Wang Juan finally understands more thoroughly, so it comes down to money.
