(Chapter 1 delivered today)

The bamboo curtain made of the bamboo of the two lakes and Xiangfei moved slightly, and there seemed to be a light sigh inside, and then an old voice came: "Guangsheng, the old man remembers, the last time I walked this road, it was still a loess road, right?" ”

The coachman's resolute face like a rock did not have the slightest expression, but he moved his lips in a wooden manner: "Back to the master, three months ago, you went to Jinan with the imperial order to investigate the corruption case of the three governments of the Shandong political envoy, and when you came back, you took this road!" ”

Behind the bamboo curtain, there seemed to be two tired and deep eyes, like two lines of cold electricity, looking at the road that was being walked.

This road is about two zhang wide, is paved with a piece of bluestone slabs that are square to a certain size, it can be seen that the builders are very careful, the stone slabs are very smooth, and the connection is also very close, and the whole road, there are almost no ups and downs and ruggedness. At the edges of each side of the road, a row of heavy stone slabs two feet deep and one foot thick were driven into the ground, firmly squeezing all the stone slabs together. On both sides of the road, small groups of people were busy, digging holes in the ground, then putting small saplings in them and watering them carefully.

It is conceivable that in another ten years, it will be a scene of green shade, and pedestrians and travelers walking under the trees can also enjoy a touch of shade in the hot summer.

This kind of road should not appear here, let alone this suburban town in Beijing, even if it is among the two capitals, it is rare.

The old voice continued: "How long is this road surface?" ”

"We have walked about a mile just now, from here to Jingnan Banknote Pass, there is another mile, after passing the banknote Pass, into the town, the longest to the south is only one mile. It's only three miles. The corner of the coachman's eyes seemed to twitch, and he added: "But that man once said wildly that in his lifetime, he would build this road outside Zhengyang Gate." ”

"Huh?" The old voice seemed to be stunned, silent for a moment, and then a chuckle: "Young man, you have courage, vitality, and momentum!" ”

The coachman pursed his lips, but did not speak.

It seemed to sigh lightly again, and the old voice said to himself: "This little friend is a real willing to do things!" The literary style is unparalleled, and the famous Jingshi is just a master, after all, it is just lip service, who wouldn't say? But how many words are out of the blue, but when it comes to doing practical things, it's a mess. Some have weak hearts, and some don't even have hearts. At the beginning, Dai Zhangpu wrote to ask Lijingnan to send him this errand, but the old man originally thought that this was just a means to collect money. But I didn't expect that this Jingnan banknote was really for the benefit of one party! ”

"There are dozens of banknotes in the world, all of them are boiling and scolding, but this Jingnan banknote is the only one, and everyone praises it. Those businessmen were taxed, but they said good things to him, which is really strange! The old voice sighed bitterly: "With skills, scheming, backers, and skills, such young people can be called handsome!" The future is limitless. ”

The coachman was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Why should the master bother to grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige?" ”

His tone is not at all like the tone of dialogue between the subordinate and the master, but has some equal meanings of equal relations.

The old voice didn't think it was a pestle, and said lightly: "The young phoenix is clear from the old phoenix, and things in the world are probably like this." This time, because of the rebel, the old man was dizzy for a while, and he hastily wrote a letter to impeach Dai Zhangpu, and he was vigilant. Then there was another Jingnan banknote incident, smuggling weapons without permission, and Dai Zhangpu caught the opportunity and killed with one blow! Now that I think about it, the events of the past three months are vivid, and everything is related to this young man, the old man is a member of the court and a third-grade official, depreciating the border, and he doesn't know if he is going to live or die, but he was forced into this situation by him. ”

The coachman said indifferently: "Is the master disheartened? ”

"Disheartened?" The old man's voice was indifferently filled with an awe-inspiring murderous aura, and he said: "Everything is circulating, retribution is not happy, the old man has already seen it." It's just a mere denigration, and it's not a big mouth that kills the head and robs the family, what's the matter? Twenty years ago, the old man was just a seventh-grade patrol, and he dared to kill four of the third-grade members on the spot! It's already at this age, and it's already clear that you don't have to worry about it, what are you afraid of? ”

While speaking, the car had arrived at the Jingnan banknote.

Most of the convoys on this road are caravans, but some of them are past travelers, these travelers have no oil and water on them, and they are not the key consumer objects in the town, so they can go directly to the front of the banknote pass.

Those soldiers were accustomed to seeing this posture, and they were not surprised, and the Beijing officials who returned to their hometowns were all like this. I heard that it was an old man who was transferred to a place, and in line with the principle of not provoking right and wrong, the soldiers who inspected it did not even open the curtain to look, but counted the number of people in the team, and after receiving a fee of one or two silvers for the symbolic surname, he was released.

The carriage passed the money customs and walked down the street.

The bamboo curtain was lifted, revealing a thin old man, if there is someone who is familiar with the imperial court, he will definitely recognize it, this old man is the boiling of the previous words, because of corruption and was removed from the position of the criminal department waiter, the former right waiter of the criminal department in Beijing, the current Lin'an prefect Sun Yanzhi!

Sun Yanzhi looked at the town very carefully.

He still has a little impression of this place, three months ago when he came back from Jinan Mansion passed by here, a few glances, only one feeling, dilapidated, desolate, poor!

But now this town is full of traffic, many shops, many of the shops on the street can be seen to be recently renovated, still very new, obviously only recently developed. The streets are no longer desolate, with people and cars coming and going, and countless customers coming in and out of the shops. The townspeople walking on the street were also smiling, and Sun Yanzhi could see that it was a kind of joy from the heart.

Sun Yanzhi showed a hideous smile on his face, and moaned softly: "What a prosperous scene! Is this what you created? The old man was defeated at the hands of an outstanding posterior boy like you, but he was not wronged! Therefore, the old man has more reasons to kill you at this time, and he has more reasons to completely ruin you! ”

"The shame of my son's humiliation, the hatred of the old man's degraded officials, my grandson's words, will definitely be repaid tenfold! Only this time, I won't show mercy! Hey, if I were you, I would ambush the killer on the road, and I wouldn't die but suffer from it, don't you know? ”

The bamboo curtain was lowered again, the coachman waved his whip, the guards watched vigilantly, and the carriage slowly moved out of the town.

It seems that it never came.
