Chapter 33 Hailing County

Lao Yu, who was already very tired, struggled to shake up his spirit and said to me: "I once heard my father say that the general of the Whale Shark Pirate was a military general named Yang Gua Ming, and his family used to be a vassal of the Whale Shark Island Country, and it was passed down to his generation, when it was still the era of King Whale Ming, because his father was on the wrong side in the battle for the throne and chose the orthodox camp of the crown prince.

Lao Yu turned out to be a good storyteller, saying very ups and downs, beautiful and wonderful: "As a result, in the end, King Whale Ming died, but it was the second prince of King Whale Ming who launched a mutiny, under the control of the queen of King Whale Ming, that is, the mother of Whale Hong, the prince Whale was placed under house arrest, and the yellow robe was added to the throne, which was for King Whale Hong, after King Whale Hong ascended the throne, he first promoted his trusted military generals, and King Whale Hong mastered military power, so he began to settle accounts after the autumn, and asked the generals who had supported Whale Quilt. Yang Guaming's father was the most powerful military commander as a whale, and the first to bear the brunt was Yang Gua Ming's father, and almost all of the Yang family in Kyoto were killed. ”

"The Yang family is a gentry family, the fief of the Yang family is in the westernmost part of the whale shark island country, that is, near the sea of Donghai County, I heard that the family in Kyoto was all killed by the king of whale Hong, Yang Gua Ming's uncle Yang Sheng was sad and indignant, and rebelled, however, at this time, the foundation of the king of whale Hong has been solid, Yang Gua Ming's uncle is a closed military general, where is the opponent, in the end, the result is of course that the Yang family was wiped out by the king of whale Hong, and Yang Sheng died in that rebellion, however, after all, the Yang family has a deep foundation, and the retainers and generals are very loyal, so, according to Yang Sheng's strategy, Yang Gua Ming led the remnants of the soldiers to retreat to the sea wave island reef, and Yang Gua Ming led the soldiers to the sea wave island and reef, because it was not very far from the East China Sea County, so they had the evil things of perennial plunder. After Lao Yu said this, his spirit came up again.

"How do you know these allusions, it's really puzzling to me." Although I was curious about the war in the Whale Shark Island Country, what made me even more curious was why this virtuous and beautiful woman in front of me knew about these military affairs.

"When my grandfather was in the past, my family used to do maritime business, and traveled back and forth between the Whale Shark Island Country and Donghai County every year, the Whale Shark Island Country was rich in salt and good weapons, as well as precious pearls, but there was a lack of grain and silk, as well as wood, so my grandfather transported the grain and silk of Donghai County to the Whale Shark Island Country to sell, and then, in exchange for salt, weapons, and pearls, made a profit from it, and made a lot of profits, but since the Whale Shark Island Country exterminated the Yang family, the Yang family made pirates to come to Donghai County to plunder, and my ship was robbed by them several times. The maritime business was also cut off, and when I was eight years old, my father was talking to the merchants of the Whale Shark Island nation, and I listened a lot to it, so it was not surprising that I knew about these accidents. Lao Yu showed her daughter's coquettishness, which made my heart flutter.

"Your father knows a lot of merchants from the Whale Shark Island Country, and he has a lot of friendships." I said, I didn't expect that Laubo would have such a business deal with the merchants of the Whale Shark Island Country.

The next morning, I paid an extra silver coin, which I should not have given more, but it was useless and of great use. However, seeing that Lao Gong is a person who can be bought and wooed, plus he has to eat his big corn steamed buns in the morning, it may be a good choice to give one more quick silver coin for a long-term investment, and seeing that Lao Gong and his wife got an extra silver coin, the smug smile on their faces, I think my fast silver coin was not given in vain.

Before leaving, I asked the Lao Gong to show me if there were any cattle in the village that could be sold to me, and when I passed by again, I hoped that he would sell me a cow, although I had not seen a cow on the way, I was still willing to let him help me inquire.

I thought it was still very early, but who knew that the people in the village got up earlier, and when we passed the vegetable field, some of the villagers were already working in the fields with hoes and dustpans, and they had no time to care about how they worked, so I planned to hurry to a fox hole that Laubo had left for himself.

I'm willing to bet that Laubo must have more than this fox hole, and I have to dig out all his fox holes for my use, and I can't help but feel happy in my heart, but there is one question I found that something is wrong, why did Laubo leave a way back in advance, could he be a prophet, if it is such a clever calculation, then this person is really terrible, I can't help but get goosebumps.

In the evening, we finally arrived in the village where Laubo had asked us to go, and under the darkening sky, there were few late farmers, and the barking of dogs came from the village, and the lights were lit in twos and threes in the dilapidated wooden houses, swaying in the wind.

This is a hidden village surrounded by mountains, quite down, unlike other villages passing through Hailing County, here is all ploughing the land, planting sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, can not hit the rich and noble people in the city want to eat delicious fish, if you really want to catch fish have to go far, can not catch the city magnates want to eat the mountain delicacies, the mountains here are full of rocks, a few months can not necessarily hit pheasants and hares.

Get off the horse, lead the horse rope, the legs and feet are very sore, the body and bones are tired, it is very like looking for a family, take a bath, and then sleep beautifully, if a woman shoots such a shot, it is simply a life in heaven, but unfortunately all this is just a dream, and it is still far from being realized.

According to Lauber's advice, try not to attract the attention of other civilians, therefore, we waited until it was already dark and black before entering the village, and walked very cautiously, of course, not to mention cautious, after all, we are not fugitives who kill people and set fires, although we are a little worried about being a thief, fortunately only attract the attention of the family, and we can't care so much.

Lauber said that the family had always been in secret with him, almost unknown to any outsiders, of course, this was also because no one checked him, otherwise, there was no impermeable wall under the sky, and there was no secret that could not be told.

Laubo once paid for the treatment of the family, and the family was grateful to him, and always helped him watch the yard, which can be said to be loyal to him.

Laubo hid a lot of gold and silver here, and only Lauber and the guardian knew how much. This guardian's name is Lao Shengkun, and he is considered the richest family in this Weizi village, and a lot of the land is owned by him, rented to civilians for cultivation and rent.

……

In the main hall of Lao Shengkun, the lights are bright, a table of people is sitting around eating, leaning against the door is a strong man who bows his head and chews steamed buns, the steamed buns in his left hand have just been stuffed into his mouth, and his right hand has picked up a soup bowl to drink soup, looking like a tiger and wolf.

Facing is a fifty-year-old man, he is Lao Shengkun, sitting upright, chewing and swallowing slowly, very stable, with a short mustache on his chin, which is quite clean and tidy.

There is an old woman sitting on the left, although the maintenance is not very good, but it is okay, belongs to the kind of woman who is more than the upper than the bottom, with a string of beads on the wrist of the left hand, gorgeous and brilliant, should be worth a lot of money, and there is no other precious decoration, the dress is decent, compared to the coarse linen clothes but the high-end rich I don't know how many times.

"Scales, eat slowly." The old woman said with a caring and charitable expression, and poured him another bowl of soup.

"Don't drink soup, your stomach is full of water, and you'll be hungry in a while." The young strong man shouted with a mouth full of steamed buns.

"Concentrate on eating steamed buns." The old woman reminded.

"Lao Scale, rest early after eating, and rush to Nanwang County tomorrow morning." Lao Shengkun finished eating the steamed bun in his hand, took a sip of soup, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, paused for a while, and said.

The old woman shouted, "What are you doing in that dangerous place in Nanwang County, aren't you afraid that your son will go and never return?" ”

"Now the whereabouts of the benefactor are unknown, this is the time for us to repay the favor, you still want to protect yourself, you are really a woman with no conscience and forgetfulness, she eats other people's, takes other people's, and now she is carefree and greedy for life and afraid of death." Lao Shengkun said, his eyes bursting with fire.

"You know how to repay your kindness, and you don't weigh your own catties, his son killed the eldest son of Jun Sima, and such a person can kill." The old woman was angry, but she was not resigned, and got up and left the hall.
