Old man Hua asked Xiaoqiu to park the ox cart on the side of the road and let the family go first.

At the front of the procession were two rows of plain white spirit flags to open the way, followed by seven or eight Taoist priests wearing Dharma robes, and then behind was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy holding a spiritual seat, dressed in linen, and behind them were coffins pulled on carriages.

The originally bright spring scenery suddenly became gloomy.

Old man Hua got out of the car with Li Ang, stood on the side of the road, and bowed down. The young man holding the spiritual position also nodded to them, which was regarded as a return salute, and his eyes were a little blank, obviously due to excessive sadness.

Li Ang and Old Man Hua retreated to the side of the ox cart and asked, "Old Hua, do you know this family?" ”

Old man Hua sighed and said, "Who said I don't know, although our two families are not from different villages, they are next to each other, only separated by a small lake. On weekdays, chickens and dogs smell each other, and this Fang family grew up playing with mud with the old and unfilial son when he was a child. Ay! It's really a pitiful pity, the old man also just heard that the Fang family caravan went to Tubo and met a robber in Baijiling, it's really miserable! ”

"Oh, it's miserable."

"Who said no, this family is a salt merchant, and it is one of the largest households in our Xipu County. The well salt produced in Pujiang and Huojing counties in Qiongzhou was all underwritten by the Fang family. It turned out that Qiongzhou was not taking care of it, and the Fang family's business was doing well;

But since last winter, after Qiongzhou was transferred to Jiangnan Road as an official, the Fang family lost its backer. is the so-called tree big wind, do you think, such a profitable business, who is not red-eyed? Especially the Zhao family in this county, who has an enmity with the Fang family, is even more eyeing it.

The Zhao family is a tea merchant, but it is rumored that the Zhao family also operates a salt and iron business in private. A few years ago, in order to compete for a piece of mountain forest, the Zhao family and the Fang family each dispatched hundreds of people to fight. Zhao Renfa, the second lang of the Zhao family, was injured, and Fang Tongxing, the second elder of the Fang family, was sentenced to flow 3,000 miles.

But two years later, Zhao Renfa relapsed and died of an old injury, and the Zhao family sued the official several times, and the Fang family also made a point up and down, and the government said that the old case had been closed and no longer accepted the Zhao family's complaint, and the Zhao family couldn't swallow this breath, and secretly kept wanting to put the Fang family to death. This time, the Fang family's caravan was killed, and the old man looked, I am afraid that things are not simple. ”

Leon listened attentively. The grievances between the Fang family and the Zhao family had nothing to do with him, but aside from the promises of the other party's colleagues, there are still people who want his life.

Of course, he can also pat his ass and leave Sichuan, leaving this place of right and wrong. But this akin to escape is not in line with Leon's character;

Besides, who is sure that after escaping to other places, there will be no other troubles? Do you want to run away when you are in trouble?

There are often opportunities hidden in crises, and as long as you don't mess around and calculate well, you can often get rich returns from crises that are usually unimaginable.

At least now, he can easily get five guan money from Zhao Shangyi, and if he follows the usual method, he can't get this five guan money if he is tired and tired.

If you can get five times today, you may not be able to get five hundred times tomorrow. If someone wants to calculate himself, why can't he calculate others?

Along the way, while Li Ang was on guard, he asked Old Man Hua about the situation of the Fang and Zhao families. There is a Tinker Bell vigil at night, so you don't have to worry about being touched by the bedside and don't know yet.

At noon the next day, it was already approaching Chengdu, and the crowd became very dense, and there was an endless stream of cars, horses and pedestrians on the road.

In the Tang Dynasty, there is a Yang and two Yizhi said, Yizhou is the third largest city after the capital Chang'an and Yangzhou, and the entire Chengdu Plain is very rich.

Leon sat on the ox cart and saw everything new. Most of the houses in the roadside villages are bamboo and wood structures, and there are also some blue brick and large tile houses, which are antique and antique, hidden among flowers and trees. The fields have not yet begun spring ploughing, and the tender green grass sprouts have grown, and the shepherd boy rides a big buffalo and plays the transverse flute, which is not a tune, but it is also crisp and pleasant.

Li Ang learned from the old man Hua that the official name of Sichuan was Jiannan Dao, and in the early Tang Dynasty, it was divided into Jiannan Xichuan Road and Jiannan Dongchuan Dao, and set up administrative offices in Chengdu and Santai respectively. Abbreviated as "Liangchuan".

During the Kaiyuan period, it was adjusted again, and there were the settings of Jiannan Xichuan Road, Jiannan Dongchuan Road and Shannan West Road, so that it was called "Sanchuan".

Anyway, so far, there is no name for Sichuan.

Thinking that he didn't even have a household registration, he came to Old Man Hua and said enthusiastically: "Old Hua, look, now I don't even have a household registration, can Old Hua help me become a naturalized citizen?" ”

This is one of the things that Li Ang is most concerned about, when you get to Guangdong, you have to have a temporary residence permit, when you go to the United States, you have to ask for a green card, and when you get to this Datang, you don't even have a household registration, so can you still make money openly? Not to mention being an official and a half-job, surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines.

Old man Hua muttered, "Little brother, don't you remember your parents at all? ”

"Hua Lao, I started to remember, I followed an old beggar to beg for food, and when the old beggar was dying, he told me that he was originally from Chengdu, but when he asked who my parents were, he said that he picked me up outside Chengdu back then, and the boy's parents couldn't find it out at all."

"Poor thing! Little brother, now that you are going to become a naturalized citizen, this matter is really a bit troublesome, and you have to do it up and down. The elders and lizheng in the village, the officials in the county, the chief bookkeeper, the county clerk, etc., have to be comprehensive, and it costs a lot of money to do it; As for whether it can be assigned to Yongye Tian, I am not sure. ”

"Hua Lao, the money boy will find a way, and the others will trouble Hua Lao to help the boy when the time comes."

"Done"

Old man Hua was only halfway through speaking, when he saw Li Ang covering his face with his big sleeves, lying on the herbs and pretending to sleep, he couldn't help but be surprised. Old man Hua only said that he had done something unseemly, and he was chased by someone, so he hurriedly looked back, but when he saw a horse coming from behind, he was immediately a pretty girl dressed as a man.

Old man Hua grabbed Li Ang and asked, "Little brother, tell me honestly, you won't be ruining other people's girls, right?" ”

"No, no! Hua Lao, I'm that kind of person! This girl is oops, I can't tell you clearly for a while, you help me block it, let her pass"

"Tinker Bell! Tinker Bell! That's great! ”

Hearing the girl's cheerful cry, Leon suddenly knew that something was wrong, and forgot that Tinker Bell was following the car, and he couldn't hide now.

He immediately put on a surprised smile and turned around and shouted, "Little lady, are you okay!" It's okay if you're okay, who are those men in black? Why are you being hunted down? I almost lost my life, forget it, forget it, I finally escaped the catastrophe, let's even, we don't owe each other in the future, by the way, where is the lady going? ”

Yang Nan hit the horse to the side of the car and looked at Li Ang curiously, his moving little mouth turned up slightly, "That's right, the person looks like a dog, I haven't seen you for two days, and I almost fooled you through." ”

"What am I fooling about?"

"Cut out the and give me Tinker Bell! Also, those masked men who came for you that day were obviously aimed at you, and you caused me to hurt a horse, which is equivalent to thirty yuan, and you owe me."

"That's it!" Li Ang stood on the ox cart, holding the half-human-tall medicinal herbs, and said with a full expression, "I am very grateful for you to rescue me, but I didn't agree to your bet at the beginning. Tinker Bell is dependent on me, and I won't bet on it, especially if it only recognizes me as a person, even if it gives it to you, it won't listen to you. As for the thirty yuan, what I owe you is, let alone thirty yuan, it will not be a problem to pay you back 300 yuan in the future, and it can be regarded as a thank you gift for saving you. ”

"Shhhh I'm so rare for a few of your stinky money! Yang Nan shook the whip very disdainfully, and immediately changed his smile to tease Tinker Bell, "Tinker Bell, come, follow me, I'll give you something delicious"

As soon as Yang Nan said this, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind her, she looked back, her face changed, she couldn't care about Li Ang anymore, she whipped on the horse's buttocks, and flew away.

Looking at her distant back, Li Ang was surprised, who could let Yang Nan, who dared to break into the military camp alone and rescue him, escape from the wilderness?
