Chapter 629: Shocked by the Rat

readx; "It's coming!"

A young man walked in outside the door, looking quite like Wei Ruqun, carrying a big cloth bag in his hand, this big cloth bag is the medicine that Wei Ruqun stole back from the army in the past few months, he took the cloth bag, opened it and said with a smile: "It's all here, four wooden boxes, one box of 200 marching pills, and the rest are Jinchuang medicine." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Perhaps he felt embarrassed, and explained: "Actually, these medicines can't be bought outside at all, all the medicinal herbs and pharmacies have been accepted by An Lushan as military property, if you're lucky, you can sell this medicine for five hundred yuan." ”

"Thank you, sir."

Ji Sheng put away the medicine, but he was not in a hurry to leave, he glanced at the young man standing behind Wei Ruqun, and asked with a smile: "This is Mr. Wei's son!" ”

Wei Ruqun is forty-five years old this year, but his son is only fifteen years old, born to his stepwife, he only has this only son, love like a treasure, perhaps because he is too doting, his son is thin and weak, fair-skinned, surnamed and introverted and quiet, quite like a girl.

Wei Ruqun was defenseless, and smiled proudly: "It will be fifteen next month." ”

"Fifteen years old."

Ji Sheng nodded, and said thoughtfully: "I remember that An Lushan issued a conscription order, and all teenagers over the age of fifteen must go to the militia for the record, and Ling Lang will also go to the record next month!" ”

Wei Ruqun's face changed greatly, Ji Sheng's words hit his heart, this is also what he is most worried about and afraid of, although his son has not been conscripted yet, but once the war is tight, his son will definitely not be able to escape the disaster of conscription, he has been in the army for a few months, and he knows very well the darkness in the army, even if his son does not go to the battlefield, he will not escape the torture of the soldiers in the army, and he will definitely die.

The son also felt his father's anxiety, leaned into his father's arms, Wei Ruqun hugged his beloved son, and couldn't help sighing, extremely worried in his heart.

Ji Sheng smiled and asked, "Why didn't Mr. send him out of Hebei?" ”

"How I don't want to!"

Wei Ruqun sighed and said, "But it's not easy to talk about!" Now there are tiger and wolf soldiers in An Lushan in various states and counties, I asked the lady to take him away, and he couldn't go out at all, not to mention that all the passages were guarded by soldiers, and he was not allowed to leave Hebei, so he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to go to the mouth, and he was killed by those tiger and wolf soldiers halfway, which was a hundred times worse than the robbers, and only a little safer to hide in Youzhou. ”

Ji Sheng already had a plan in his heart, he smiled slightly and said: "It's better to do this a favor to my husband and send Ling Lang and his wife to Chang'an, what do you think?" ”

Wei Ruqun's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again, although he made a deal with this man, but after all, he was ignorant, how could he trust him, hand over his wife and children to him, besides, why could he leave Hebei?

Ji Sheng seemed to know his thoughts, so he took out a map from his arms, pointed to the north and said: "Although the Yan army blocked the road to Hedong, he did not block the northern road, we can cross the Great Wall from Raole, detour to Yunzhou, and get to Yunzhou, that is the territory of the Northern Tang Army, I don't hide it, sir, this is how I entered Hebei from this road." ”

Wei Ruqun was a little moved, he also knew that there was this road, An Lushan's control was not very strict, but the north was the territory of the Hu people, which was too dangerous, but this risk was much better than going south into Hedong, he was only worried about Ji Sheng, why should he help himself? Don't sell your wife and children to the Hu people.

Ji Sheng smiled faintly, he took out a gold medal and put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Wei Ruqun, Wei Ruqun glanced at it, only to see four words engraved on the gold medal: 'Anxi Scout!' ’

He jumped up in surprise and looked at Ji Sheng with fear on his face, "...... are you?"

Ji Sheng waved his hand and smiled: "Mr. Wei, don't worry, you are a little military doctor, what should I do to you?" ”

Wei Ruqun also made sense when he thought about it, he was a small military doctor, and there was really no threat to them, his heart was slightly relaxed, and then he suddenly remembered something, and asked in a low voice with a smile: "You did it to burn the forage warehouse?" ”

Ji Sheng smiled, didn't deny or admit it, and said, "How?" Now I believe I can help your wife and children bring them to Chang'an! ”

Wei Ruqun has already believed it, no wonder they want to buy marching powder and gold creation medicine, it seems that it is really a scout of the Northern Tang Army, then it is another matter, not to mention that taking his wife and children to Chang'an is even if he is brought to Yunzhou, his wife and children can go to Chang'an by themselves, he was not hopeful at all, but his heart began to be active again, his son's uncle is in Chang'an, he can let his wife and children go to him, plus they have twenty taels of gold, they can also settle down in Chang'an.

But he also knew that Ji Sheng would not help him for no reason, and the other party must also have something to ask him for help, so he nodded and said, "Ji Gongzi, please speak!" Whatever needs to be done, as long as I can do it, I will do my best. ”

Ji Sheng smiled unhurriedly and said, "I think Mr. Wei is a military doctor, so he should need an assistant!" What do you think of me? ”

"You?" Wei Ruqun's eyes widened.

Ji Sheng nodded slowly, "You asked me to enter the barracks to be a military doctor with you, and I am responsible for sending someone to send your wife and children to Chang'an, can you do this deal?" ”

This is a two-way guaranteed deal, this scout surnamed Ji is by his side, his subordinates dare not harm his son, and his own son is in their hands, he does not dare to betray him, now Wei Ruqun as long as his son can escape from Hebei, let him do anything.

"Alright! We're sure of it. ”

Someone introduced that it was extremely easy for Ji Sheng to enter the Yan Army, that night, Ji Sheng received a number plate, made up for the military registration, and became a member of the Yan Army, Ji Sheng, the name is true, there is no need to fake, a native of Zanhuang County, Zhaozhou, is in the army directly under An Lushan, the eighth battalion of the Tenth Army, and has no armor uniform. Because he was a military doctor, he only got a knife, not a horizontal knife, a very ordinary long knife.

.........

Hebei is turbulent, but the situation in Chang'an is very calm, Li Qing'an returned to Chang'an ten days ago, the calm situation in Chang'an refers to the imperial court, since Zhang Yun was the right minister, the government's government operations began to stabilize, Zhang Yun may not be a reformist with new thinking and creativity, but he has other means that are difficult for important ministers to maintain the stability of the imperial court, he can coordinate the interests of each faction, and can eliminate the contradictions between various officials in a timely manner.

This is also the reason why Li Qingan takes a fancy to him, before the external strife subsides, the imperial court especially needs stability, even if it is lifeless, it is better than the political chaos.

At present, the political hall is still six phases, Cui Ning is busy dredging Cao Yun in Jianghuai, Henan, in fact, there are only five phases in the DPRK, Cui Ping resigned from the position of Xiangguo, took office as the observer of Hedong Province, and has gone to Taiyuan to take office, Zhang Yun, Zhang Hao, Wei Tao, Lu Huan, Wang Jin, five phases in charge, from the perspective of factional structure, the Wei Party obviously has the upper hand, but with Cui Ping's resignation, Wang Jin, who has always been relatively low-key, changed the direction of the wind, he broke away from the Wei Party and moved closer to Zhang Yun, which made the factional power balance of the court enter a new state of equilibrium, Zhang Dang and the two, Wei is the two parties, and Zhang Hao is a centrist, and the factional struggle has also come to an end for the time being.

Compared with the lifelessness of the court, Li Qing'an's home is very lively, his wife Mingyue gave birth to a son for him, but Pei Wan'er was unexpectedly born prematurely and gave birth to a daughter, which disappointed Pei Wan'er's father, but blessings and misfortunes depended on each other, although Pei Wan'er did not give birth to a son to disappoint the Pei family, but Pei Wan'er's situation in the Li family improved all of a sudden.

Mingyue's attitude towards her has changed greatly, taking care of her everywhere, Pei Wan'er was born prematurely, the mother and daughter are very weak, Mingyue spent a lot of money to buy all kinds of precious medicinal materials to nourish them, so that their bodies are getting better day by day, Pei Wan'er is also grateful to Mingyue for her careful care, and her attitude is courteous, and a family conflict caused by Pei Zunqing's impeachment of Dugu Hao finally subsided slowly after the birth of the two children.

When Li Qingan returned home, he was greeted by a scene of life, and he already had five children.......

This morning, Li Qing'an visited Xishi as usual, since the last private visit to Weifu, Li Qing'an has set a rule for himself, as long as he has time, he will go to the market to understand the people's livelihood.

Li Qing'an walked to the last 'Huhang old shop', his first concern was the price of rice, although he got the imperial court's report on the price of rice on the way back to Chang'an, but Li Qingan still had to come to inspect it in person.

During this inspection, Li Qingan did not pretend to be a Hu man, he was accompanied by four or five personal bodyguards, walked into the store, and met a guy, who was the same guy last time, but he couldn't recognize Li Qingan anymore.

"Guest, welcome to the shop!"

The guy's attitude is very respectful, this is because Li Qingan is followed by four or five big men, and ordinary wealthy businessmen will have this kind of bodyguard.

Li Qingan smiled and said, "I'll take a look at the price of rice first." ”

"Guest, please come with me."

The man respectfully led Li Qing'an into the lobby, and Li Qing'an walked to a bamboo basket with a wooden sign that said the price of rice: 230 Wen for doumi.

It is not much different from the report of the imperial court, but the report of the imperial court was written half a month ago, and it was 250 wen at that time, and after half a month, it fell by 20 yuan.

"What was the price of rice half a month ago?" Li Qingan asked with a smile.

"Half a month ago...... the guy thought for a while and said, "It's about two hundred and fifty wen." ”

"What's going on? I remember that last autumn it was still 400 Wen, why did it fall to 170 Wen now, close to half, why? ”

At this time, the shopkeeper came over, he was a little more eyesighty than the guy, and saw that Li Qing'an's identity was extraordinary, he hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Last year, the price of rice reached the top of 400 Wen, and the court closed the position with 300 Wen, and immediately pulled the price of rice down, and then the court came out with the news that Anxi would stop minting silver dollars, and for a time most of the silver dollars on the market disappeared, and every household stored silver dollars, and the news that the imperial army captured Jiangnan, Jiangnan rice will be transported in large quantities, and many merchants of Tunmi have sold it, affected by these two news, The price of rice fell by another 150 Wen, the price of rice in the New Year was only 150 Wen, down more than half, until this time, the price of rice slowly recovered to more than 200 Wen, my owner estimated that the price of rice in the New Year would skyrocket last year, so he entered 2,000 stone rice in one breath, and the result was a loss of 100 Wen per bucket, hey! My boss is in a miserable loss. ”

"But you also made a lot of money before! Why don't you talk about it when you earn it? ”

"This is also true, first make a lot of money, and then lose a lot of money, and lose all the money you earned, hey! I wrote to persuade the proprietor not to enter so many meters, but he didn't believe it, the road is long, thousands of miles by camels, the freight is not much, can it not be lost? ”

Li Qingxin made a sudden snort, 'Thousands of miles are transported by camels', what does this sentence mean?

He asked quietly, "I wonder who your owner is?" ”

"This ..... Ha ha! It's hard to say, it's hard to say! The shopkeeper snorted and refused to say.

"Okay, I'll take my leave!"

Li Qingan arched his hand and said goodbye, he walked out of the store, but secretly instructed a guard: "Get me the guy just now, be careful not to alarm the shopkeeper." ”

The guard turned to go, and in a moment, he brought the fellow over, "Guest, is there anything else?" ”

The guy looked a little nervous under the cold gaze of several big men, Li Qingan took out a stack of ten silver dollars, held it in the palm of his hand and said with a smile: "Do you want it?" ”

The guy swallowed, "I want it!" ”

"If you want, tell me, who is your owner?"

The man's head shook like a rattle, "I can't say this, I have to kill the shopkeeper." ”

Li Qingan took out another ten silver dollars, put them on the palm of his hand, and said with a smile: "Do you want to say it?" ”

The guy still shook his head, but the strength of his shaking had slowed down significantly, Li Qingan didn't add it now, but took one piece, another piece, and another piece, seeing that the silver dollars were decreasing piece by piece, the guy couldn't resist, "I said, I said it." ”

Li Qingan stopped his movements and said with a smile: "Say it!" Who is the proprietor. ”

The guy looked left and right, pointed to an alley next to him, Li Qingan walked in with him, and said with a smile: "Is it so mysterious?" ”

"This master, I don't dare to talk nonsense, if this matter gets out and Li Qingan knows about it, many people will lose their heads."

Li Qingxin was puzzled, but he still smiled: "Don't worry! I don't know Li Qing'an, I won't talk nonsense. ”

"That's good!"

The man lowered his voice and said: "I don't know the specific name of our proprietor, but I know that he is a high-ranking official in Anxi, and the grain in our rice shop is all transported by him from Anxi, seeking huge profits. ”

Anger was already burning in Li Qing'an's chest, he believed that this guy was telling the truth, he restrained his anger, and asked, "Then what is the owner's surname, you should always know!" ”

The guy shook his head, "I really don't know. ”

"Okay!"

Li Qingan said to his soldiers: "Reward him with three hundred silver dollars!" ”

"Whoa!"

Bai Huahua's silver dollar was poured into the bag, and the guy held the heavy bag, three hundred silver dollars, he was simply stunned, Li Qingan said coldly: "From now on, you don't want to go to the rice shop, find another way to live!" ”

Leaving the alley, Li Qingan suddenly stopped and ordered a pro-soldier: "Pass the order to Hu Peiyun and immediately seal up this rice shop, no matter what, find out for me, who is the proprietor behind the rice shop?" ”
