Chapter 14 Settling the People and Vehicles

Seeing Luo Jian and them walking down from the city tower, Wang Qiang stopped the "deeds report meeting", and the officers and soldiers surrounding the car also dispersed to both sides. Luo Jian asked the two of them to take Lai Fu out of the car, took out the key to open the handcuffs, and said to Shi Kefa and Liu Zhaoji: "This person was injured before, and he has been treated, please General Liu find someone to bring him to the courtyard where we live, this person will be useful in the future." ”

Luo Jian had the intention to let Shi Kefa feel the car, and said to Liu Weimin: "Give me the car key, I'll drive it." As he spoke, he walked to the right car door, opened the car door, and said to Shi Kefa: "Supervisor, please get in the car." Shi Kefa awkwardly got into the car, sat down in the seat and paused a few times, felt very comfortable, and turned his head to look at the car carefully.

Luo Jian got into the driver's seat and was about to call Xiao Liu Xiaowang to get into the car, but Wang Qiang saw the three horses tied to the tree under the city tower, and shouted at Luo Jian: "Chief, let's go, I want to ride a horse!" Luo Jian saw that Liu Weimin was also eager to try, and said to him, "You go too, be careful, don't fall." ”

Luo Jian pointed to the street in front of him and asked Shi Kefa, "Inspector, but from here?" Seeing Shi Kefa nodding, he started the car and walked forward slowly. Shi Kefa sat in the car, saw that the car moved by itself, turned his head and wanted to ask Luo Jian something, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to press his heart full of curiosity.

Both sides of the street were full of people who came out to see the strangeness, and when they saw the car coming, they didn't know who took the lead and knelt down towards the car, and suddenly both sides of the street were full of people.

The streets of Yangzhou are not very spacious, so they appear narrower. Luo Jian drove the vehicle carefully, and asked everyone to get up when he had the intention to stop, and he thought to himself that it might be better to leave a sense of mystery.

After walking forward for more than a mile, I saw a courtyard in front of me, but I saw Shi Kefa pointing to the courtyard and saying, "This is it." Luo Jian parked the car by the gate of the courtyard, got out of the car and went around to the right to open the door for Shi Kefa, and said, "Inspector, please get out of the car, be careful not to touch your head." ”

After Shi Kefa got out of the car, Luo Jian looked behind him and saw that Liu Weimin and Wang Qiang had already come over on horseback, saying that they were riding horses, but there were two soldiers in front of them, and they couldn't help but smile dumbly. It turned out that under the city tower, the city gate guard Yi Bang saw the two of them climbing on the back of the horse and sitting staggered, knowing that the two could not ride horses, and hurriedly beckoned two soldiers to come and lead the horses away. Luo Jian saw that the civil officials behind him were all riding horses, and thought that he would not be able to drive around in the future, and the three of them would probably have to learn to ride horses as soon as possible.

The two walked around the car to the gate, and saw that there were already two soldiers of the Ming army standing guard outside the door with waist knives and spears in their hands. Ren Minyu came out of the courtyard and said to Shi Kefa: "Supervisor, everything is arranged. Luo Jian hurriedly went up and said, "There is a Laoren Mansion." Ren Yumin said "it should be, it should be".

Luo Jian walked to the door to see, this gate is very magnificent, the walls are all made of blue bricks, look into the courtyard, the courtyard seems to be very spacious, a bit like the old courtyard in Beijing, there are two rows behind the main house, I think it is the original owner of the family living here. Walked to the middle of the gate and gestured with his hand, feeling that the warrior car could actually drive in, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly called Liu Weimin to make sure. Xiao Liu came over to take a look, said that there was no problem and went to the car to start.

Luo Jian instructed Liu Weimin to carefully drive into the courtyard and park under a tree, and saw a group of Ming soldiers walking out of the wings on both sides, about 30 people. Led by a young general, who was about twenty years old, wearing a helmet and armor, carrying a waist knife, and looking very energetic. I saw this young general come forward, bow to Luo Jian with his fists, and said, "Deputy General Wang Sicheng was ordered by the superintendent to bring his subordinates to guard several angels. ”

Luo Jian saw that Wang Sicheng was in good spirits, and all the soldiers he led were all young people, so he liked it very much, and said, "Thank you brothers!" Thank you! Wang Sicheng hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Where is the duty of the last general, don't dare to thank the angel!" ”

Walking further inside, I saw three or four young people dressed as small maids standing at the door of the main house, and there were three or four young girls dressed as maids and maids behind them. ”

Seeing this situation, Luo Jian felt very uncomfortable, and hurriedly said to both sides: "You all get up quickly, and none of us are allowed to kneel when we see us in the future!" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Ren Minyu say beside him: "Luo Angel, the ceremony must not be abolished!" Luo Jian shook his head speechlessly, thinking that some things had to be done slowly, the strict hierarchy caused by thousands of years of feudal society could not be changed in a day or two.

Seeing that Luo Jian and a few people had been sent to the door, Shi Kefa said: "A few people, please wash and change your clothes first, I will go back for the time being, and I will come over and invite a few people to the banquet later." Luo Jian answered, turned around and sent Shi Kefa and a few others outside the gate and back to the courtyard.

Liu Weimin and Wang Qiang were not interested in Shi Kefa and the other officials, but they were very excited to see that the courtyard was full of young soldiers. Wang Qiang ran to Wang Sicheng, patted his armor vigorously, lifted it up again to look at it carefully, shook his head at Wang Sicheng and said, "You don't work very well!" ”

Wang Sicheng was obviously not convinced, and said: "This is my Mingguang armor, which is the best." ”

"The best doesn't work!" Wang Qiang said with a smile. Speaking of this, Wang Qiang suddenly remembered that he had been hit by an arrow before, looked down at his body armor, and saw a small hole in his left chest, and he was so angry that he choked.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, it works, it works." Liu Weimin came up and played haha, turned around and saw Luo Jian looking at them with a smile on the side, and said, "Chief, you go to wash first, I'll find a few people to wash the car, it's all dust, and you can't see the color!" ”。

Hearing the washing, Wang Qiangtengteng ran to the car and took off the backpacks of the three people, and beckoned the little maids at the door to hurry into the hall, and a few maids had already boiled water and were ready to go.

A person who was a little older, whose clothes were different from those of others, and who looked like a housekeeper, walked up to Luo Jian, bent down and saluted Luo Jian: "Big lord, the villain's surname is Luo, and he is the housekeeper arranged by Ren Futai. But I don't know which one is the second master? ”

Luo Jian had a headache at the various names here, but he didn't know how to deal with it. had to point to Liu Weimin and say to him: "He is the second, don't worry about them first, I'll wash first, Steward Luo, which room is where I live?" ”

Luo Jian found his backpack, and Steward Luo quickly took it, and walked with Luo Jian to the door on the right side of the hall and walked in. Luo Jian walked in and took a look, and saw that there was a study outside, and there was an antique desk in front of the window, and the four treasures of the study room on the table were all prepared, and he said, "Yo, it's still a suite!" But I thought to myself, I can't use this brush.

Luo Jian walked in from the door on the right side of the study, and saw that it was a bedroom, which was very clean and elegant, and it was similar to what I had seen in movies and television before. beckoned Steward Luo to put down his backpack and open it and take out his toiletries. As soon as he took it out, he saw Steward Luo staring straight at the shiny toiletry bag in his hand, Luo Jian shook his head and smiled. When he turned around, he saw a little maid about fourteen or fifteen years old standing next to him with a copper basin of water, and hurriedly said, "Just put it on the ground." ”

The little girl shook her head slightly, still holding the water, probably wanting to hold the basin and let Luo Jian wash her face.

Luo Jian felt so awkward, he took the copper basin from the little maid's hand, took it out and put it on the ground in the study, took out a towel and washed his face a few times, and then went out to pour it out with the water. ”
