Chapter 16: Meet the Beggar Again
"Brother, are you okay? Where are we going now? Tie Niu walked in front just now, and he didn't see the little beggar's movements, and when he heard Yang Bo's angry reprimand and turned around, the beggar had already run away.
Yang Bo clapped his hands again and wiped his body casually: "Let's go find a car first, let's go to Xuzhou to have a look."
Yang Bo knew that Xuzhou was a big city in later generations, but he didn't know that in the Ming Dynasty, Xuzhou was only a Zhili Prefecture subordinate to Nanzhili, and there were only Feng County, Pei County, Xiao County and the four counties of Dangshan County, where they are now located, which was far less developed than in later generations.
Tie Niu was a little confused: "Go to Xuzhou?" Isn't the eldest brother ......"
Yang Bo shook his hand: "It's not interesting to stay in this small county, let's go to Su Songchang Sanfu first, and then go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to have a look, of course, if you have time, you can also go to Shanxi to cheat those big guys of money, at that time we should also earn enough money." Finally, I went to the land of Fujian to find a big ship, find an uninhabited island, and bring 500 boys and girls with ......" Seeing Tie Niu's expectant eyes, he smiled bitterly a few times: "Forget it, don't talk about this......"
In the troubled times, Yang Bo was panicked like a lost dog, nothing more than ......?
The two of them turned around, and actually returned to the street where breakfast was sold, the boss who insulted them for no reason in the morning was still staring at his cooking cakes, it seemed that the business of this shop was not very prosperous, the boss saw someone approaching, raised his eyes and looked around, but he didn't expect to meet Yang Bo's disdainful gaze, he was stunned.
The enemies are very red when they see each other!
Yang Bo took out a piece of silver from his arms, about five or six dollars, put it in his hand and kept throwing it, and walked to the vicinity of this shop, "Brother Tieniu!" If we eat pig's head meat, isn't there a few cakes missing? Where to buy? ”
Of course, Tie Niu didn't have any ideas, so Yang Bo took Tie Niu to sit next door to the shop that also sold cooking cakes, "Shopkeeper, first bring twenty white flour cooking cakes for my brother, it's not enough to add more, and I'll count the money for you after eating."
The shopkeeper was clever, put the white towel on his back, poured water for the two of them, and hurriedly went to bring a basket of white flour cakes. Yang Bo smiled and arched his hand demonstratively at the boss next door who was looking at them angrily, opened the pig's head meat in the lotus leaf bag and devoured it.
"I don't know which big purse was unlucky, but it was won by the two of you......" The boss was angry, and muttered a few words, the voice was not loud, but it happened to reach Yang Bo's ears.
Syllable!
Yang Bo slapped the table hard, startling Tie Niu and the others in the store, Yang Bo ignored the reactions of the others, pointed at the shopkeeper and scolded: "Say your mother!" Talking nonsense again, look at Lao Tzu's big ear shaving and slap you......"
The shopkeeper was timid, but his mouth did not fall behind at all, and he sneered at each other at the moment: "Could it be that the silver that fell from the sky happened to fall on your heads?" But here is a small pretend, be careful to be seen by the public to see a rope bundled over and sent to prison! ”
Yang Bo laughed angrily: "Dog, you can't see others?" It's no wonder that your cakes are about to stink and can't be sold, no matter how much you dare to spew blood, let's go to the yamen to see you! ”
The shopkeeper was originally a small person, and when he heard that Yang Bo was going to pull him to see the official, his momentum was a little lower, but he refused to give in: "Go and go, are you still afraid that you won't succeed?" ”
Yang Bo snorted: "Dog thing, is there any evidence?" Are there any witnesses? Without you, you would dare to frame your lover and bite indiscriminately? In the past few days, the county master's anger is not small, if he touches his old man's moldy head, he will beat you with twenty sticks first, and see if you dare to be hard-mouthed......"
The shopkeeper was already scared when he heard that Yang Bo was not reluctant to pull him to see the official, so he didn't dare to reply at this time, and retracted into the shop, but he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, so he pricked up his ears to listen to Yang Bo's movements.
Yang Bo let out a bad breath, and the shopkeeper also admitted it, he was too lazy to deal with such a small person, so he turned his head and concentrated on dealing with the food on the table. This meal was extremely satisfying. Tie Niu ate slippery, ten palm-sized cakes were not enough, and ten more were not enough, Yang Bo knew the consequences of overeating, and resolutely stopped Tie Niu's nonsense from eating and drinking.
"I haven't eaten white flour cakes for a long time......" Tie Niu sighed a little sadly.
"Don't worry......" Yang Bo comforted: "I'm afraid you won't want to eat in the future."
Tie Niu didn't understand either, when they entered the city in the morning, the two of them were still empty-handed, why did they suddenly have so much more silver now?
The two were satisfied with the money for the cake, and Yang Bo Yi gave an extra 200 Wenli money, so happy that the woman who sold the cake had no mouth to chant the Buddha
"Shopkeeper, let me inquire, where is the mule and horse shop here? We want to hire a car," Yang Bo asked casually, and under the woman's enthusiastic guidance, the two came to a mule and horse shop on North Street.
…………
Dangshan County is nearly 200 miles away from Xuzhou, and renting a carriage in a small place is too expensive, Yang Bo is reluctant to find a silver can only find an ox cart that looks passable, hoping to arrive before the door closes, or he will spend the night outside the city.
In this era, hiring a car generally has to be explained in advance, because it is necessary to give time for the handlebar to prepare the things used on the road, Yang Bo is in a hurry, and the shopkeeper accepts the order and confesses that the two of them will pass an hour later, and the two of them will wander along this dilapidated alley without anything for a while.
Compared with the affected parts of Henan, Dangshan County is relatively prosperous, the bluestone street is lined with hotels, inns, groceries and other signboards, and occasionally you can see some young women, although the appearance may not be able to enter Yang Bo's eyes, but the bright clothes still make him feel a lot more relieved. However, the streets were full of homeless people and beggars, reminding him that the current year was not peaceful.
"There are still twelve years, alas......" Yang Bo muttered softly to himself.
The shopkeeper of the mule and horse shop said that there is a delicate restaurant tea shop here to pass the time, Yang Bo saw that there was a tea house in front of him and walked over with an iron ox, saying that the tea house is larger than the usual wine shop, a row of large lanterns in front of the porch is very spectacular, the neat wooden board presents the primary color of purple wood, the first floor is a hall, and several pillars have at least three people hugging each other.
As soon as he arrived at the door, a guy greeted him, Yang Bo didn't like the crowd in the hall, so he prepared to go up to the single room on the second floor under the guidance of the guy, he wanted to find a quiet place to drink some tea and eat some snacks, and think about something on his mind by the way.
Halfway up the stairs, he heard a loud noise outside, and faintly heard a cry, Yang Bo looked back, it turned out that there was a tall man at the door who was beating a beggar by the hair.
Yang Bo sighed, and was just about to turn around and continue upstairs, when the beggar was pushed by the man, he took a few steps back and fell to the ground, his head hit the ground heavily.
At the moment when the beggar's face was revealed, Yang Bo recognized the beggar here, the guy who had just shoplenged on the street!
