Chapter 146: Zhang Xutuo is here
The next day, Cheng Yanjin had already inspected and led Li Jing, Zhang Chuchen, Shang Huaizhu, and Wang Ying to leave Liangshan; Dongfang Yumei saw that Zhang Chuchen was leaving, and she also quarreled to go with her; Not to be outdone, Wang Erya looked for Cheng to bite Jin and said: "If she goes, I will go too!" ”
Cheng Yanjin immediately had a big head and discussed with them for a long time, plus Zhang Chuchen also wanted a partner; In the end, I took Dongfang Yumei this time, and next time I had the opportunity to bring Wang Erya. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Dongfang Yumei was triumphant, Wang Erya pouted, the boss was unhappy, snorted coldly and went back to Cheng's mother to complain to him.
Cheng Yanjin and the other six people left Liangshan with two men, two women and four servants, and rode straight to Caozhou. On the same day they left, two waves of people came to Jeju with different purposes.
The first group of people was led by an old man of about fifty years old, with gray hair, a sturdy body, and rigid lines, and a young man who was equally resolute but his face was as white as jade.
These people were led by Zhang Xutuo and Kan Ling, followed by several pro-army generals. After all, Zhang Xutuo was suspicious of Qin Qiong, and the propaganda of the three counties to recruit displaced people had spread all over Shandong, and many people had already decided to take the risk of going south. He was very dissatisfied with the behavior of the three counties, the tax was set by the state, how could your little Qin Qiong be able to reduce it? What is this not a rebellion?
So he decided to come to Jeju to see it for himself; Only then did he bring the newly accepted love general Kan Ling and the deputy general Xie Xiang, and led several personal soldiers to Jeju.
The second wave was led by a beautiful young man, who had colorful eyebrows and starry eyes; The end is handsome and unmatched; However, there is a strong murderous aura in the corners of this person's eyes and eyebrows, which is intimidating.
Behind him is an equally young yellow-faced little doll, this little doll looks like a tiger head, and always has a kind smile on her face, which makes people look like a spring breeze; They were also followed by several generals dressed in Chinese military clothes.
These people are the young prince of Beiping, Paul Cheng, and the other little doll is Qin Yong, the godson of Qin Qiong in Youzhou. This Qin Yong looks like Qin Qiong because of his appearance, and his outstanding martial arts skills with a pair of sledgehammers, so Qin Qiong even likes to be accepted by him.
This time, Luo Cheng received an invitation letter from Cheng Yanjin, asking him to go to Liangshan to discuss important matters. Originally, he should have arrived a long time ago, but the Turks attacked at Ma Mingguan, and Luo Cheng was ordered to go to quell the chaos; In this battle, Qin killed the Turkic governor of the Red Sea with a pair of sledgehammers, and his reputation was greatly enhanced, and the Turks were repulsed; They went out of Beiping in the name of Shandong Shangxiang and repaid their wishes.
As soon as Zhang Xutuo came to Jeju and saw that the dragon flag of the Great Sui was still fluttering in the city, he went to half of the fire first; Those who said that Qin Qiong raised a rebellion must be lies.
As soon as the anxiety in his heart was alleviated, Zhang Xutuo's face was much better, and a few smiles appeared on his wrinkled face.
Zhang Xutuo stroked his beard and smiled: "I still have some friendship with Liu Fang, the county guard of Jeju, let's go to Jeju to have a look around, and then go to Liu Fang to drink." Kan Ling and the others laughed and followed him into Jeju City.
The soldiers guarding the gate did not check the people entering the city at all, and they were more competent as decorations than guarding the city. Zhang Xutuo snorted coldly and followed the crowd into Jeju.
As soon as he entered the city, he was still shocked by the prosperity of Jeju; This way from the north, because of the chaos in the world, most of the shops in various cities have ceased business, and the streets are full of refugees begging along the streets.
Even under the vague prosperity of Qizhou, the capital of Shandong, there are miserable Li people struggling on the line of life and death, full of restlessness and tension that may explode at any time.
Jeju, on the other hand, is completely different, and almost none of the displaced people who have fled are visible; Although the pedestrians are also in a hurry, their faces are full of hope and eager to harvest smiles.
This discovery made Zhang Xutuo feel very relieved, and smiled at Kan Leng: "Yes, this Liu Fang really has two strokes, and he will govern the place in an orderly manner!" This time, you must give him a good toast. Kan Ling and the others just smiled and didn't answer.
When they entered Jeju City, they were looking for a shop to settle in, but they found that it was hard to find a house, and many inns were already overcrowded.
Kan Ling glanced at the Taoju Inn in front of him and said to Zhang Xutuo: "My lord, please wait a minute, I'll go here to see if there is a room!" Zhang Xutuo also glanced at it and said: "Forget it, this inn is almost the best in Jeju, it is estimated that it has been fully booked for a long time, let's go to the street and squeeze it!" After so many years of marching and fighting, what situation has not been encountered? ”
Kan Ling smiled and said, "Let me ask, maybe there will be?" So saying, he turned over and dismounted, and entered the inn.
"Guest, I'm sorry! The shop is full, so please take a step higher! As soon as he entered, he was greeted by another servant.
Kan Ling smiled, took out a seal letter from his arms and handed it to the guy: "Wind forest volcano, fire burning plains." I need a small courtyard, please arrange it! ”
After listening to this, the guy quickly took the letter and looked at it, and said with fright: "Yes!" Please Brigade Commander Kan later, I'll arrange it right away! As he spoke, he returned the seal letter to Kan Leng, and trotted to the back.
Kan Ling didn't wait for a long time, and then he saw a person come out of the door curtain, and the man hugged his fist at Kan Ling and said, "Brother Kan has been gone for a long time!" Kan Ling took a closer look and found that it was Liu Zhouchen, the second owner of Jia Liulou.
"Zhou Chen, it turns out that you are here, great! Finally see the brothers again! Is everyone okay? ”
Liu Zhouchen smiled: "Okay, it's all good!" Everyone misses you all the time! Especially the Grand Steward often mentions you. Why did you come back this time, do you want to go back to Liangshan to see! Now Liangshan is a paradise and a paradise on earth. ”
Kan Ling shook his head and said: "I guess I can't go back this time, I am accompanying a big man to see the situation in our Jeju, he is already suspicious of Second Brother Qin, you remind the family." ”
Liu Zhouchen understood as soon as he heard it: "Don't worry about him, the chief manager said that we will take the initiative in a few months, and he will not have a great impact if he knows it!" ”
Kan Ling clenched his fist excitedly and said, "Okay, I've been waiting for this day for a long time!" By the way, why is Jeju so lively these days? It's overcrowded! ”
Liu Zhouchen said with a smile: "Isn't this going to open a commodity fair with Taiyuan?" Shanxi's big merchants are here, stay a few more days! It will be more lively in a few days, and it is said that the firewood horses will also come. ”
Kan Ling smiled and said, "Commodity exchange meeting? It's the big brother's idea again, right? I really don't know why he has so many anxious thoughts in his head. I try to stay two more days and find time to meet with everyone; Prepare that room, I'll go back to life! ”
Liu Zhouchen said: "No problem, I still have a few emergencies left, you live first; Let's just say that there is an agreement for the customer, and there is something to return temporarily! ”
Kan Ling nodded and ran out, and when he saw Zhang Xutuo, he said; Zhang Xutuo smiled and said nothing, thinking that he had forced this residence with his power; But these were inconsequential things to him; If these profiteers don't give them a little bit of power, won't their tails reach the sky?
Following the waiter, they entered a small courtyard, which was small but very delicate, and made people feel very warm as soon as they entered.
Zhang Xutuo and the others stopped and looked at it for a long time before nodding and continuing into the house; The waiter said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the hot water has been boiled, please go to the bathing room on the right side and wash off the dust; The hot water in the house has also been boiled, and the tea leaves have been prepared; Please use it for yourself! If you need anything, you can call me directly, and the little one will not bother the adults, and will retire first. ”
Zhang Xutuo and the others thought it was very interesting, so they came to the bathing room according to what the guy said, and saw a huge hot water pool, which was still steaming, and the whole room was covered in a mist. After he finished bathing and changing, he really felt a lot more relaxed, and his fatigue for days was also reduced a lot.
After drinking a bowl of hot tea, Zhang Xutuo felt the fragrance in his mouth, and couldn't help but praise it repeatedly. Seeing that it was not early, Zhang Xutuo led Kan Ling and others to the front to eat.
At this time, the restaurant was already crowded, and Zhang Xutuo and the others listened to everyone's conversation in the hall. He found that most of the conversations were focused on the trade fair. Based on Zhang Xutuo's understanding of Liu Fang, this person is loyal and upright, but he is a nerd, and what he hates the most is these businessmen, how can he open a commodity fair?
Zhang Xutuo stopped the guy who was serving the food and said, "Little Er, may I ask; What does this commodity fair mean? "This shopkeeper is obviously also a talkative person, and some of the knowledge is added to the matter of the trade fair.
Zhang Xutuo also understood that one eight or nine is not far from ten, he laughed and said: "So your Liu Junshou is really capable!" Everybody trusts him, huh? ”
"Liu Junshou, what Liu Junshou? Xiao Er's face was ignorant, and suddenly he said with an oh: "The old county guard you said! He has already been promoted, and the current county guard is surnamed Ling! ”
Zhang Xutuo's face immediately sank, as if it was the frost of the wax moon, and the hands of those pro-soldiers were also on their waist knives. Kan Ling smiled slightly and said to the guy: "Xiao Er, just now you said that the old county guard was promoted?" Has he been transferred to another country? There is no greater official position than the county guard! ”
The guy smiled: "Let's just say that you are new here, and we have joined forces with Caozhou and Daizhou to form a Western Yanzhou; The old county guard was promoted to the position of West Yanzhou and was in charge of education. I heard that they want to popularize children's education and let school-age children go to school for free.
This matter is handled by the old county guard, and it is really meritorious! If I could have studied as a child, maybe I could have become an official? I must let my son take advantage of the opportunity and study hard! When you grow up, you can't be as unproductive as me. ”
