Chapter 683: Bauhinia Pass
ps: Eighteen bends in the mountain road here!
Drive!
"Son, I'm at the Bauhinia Pass in front, let's take a rest, shall we?"
"Okay, get off the horse and rest!"
Meng Yan gave an order.
After a morning of travel, everyone is a little tired, take a break, eat some dry food, and recover your body.
The road ahead is even more difficult.
Bauhinia Pass eighteen roads, that are all sheep intestine trails, rugged mountain roads, one side is lofty mountains, one side is the abyss, can only use the soles of the feet.
This is definitely a difficult test for those who have not walked such a mountain road.
Because of the change in costume, Meng Yan forbade his subordinates to call him "adult", but changed all of them to "Gongziye", or the head.
Ma Weiran looks a little old and acts as a housekeeper.
As for Guo Xiaochao and Jiang Feng, they all have their own identities, and the purpose is also to cover up their whereabouts, and symbolically get some tea and silk cloth as goods.
Such a caravan, which seemed to be quite large, was formed.
Because of the large number of people, Meng Yan also separated Yang Shan and them, made a banner of the Changfeng Dart Bureau, and scattered forty or fifty people.
The teams are divided into three groups.
The first group, that is, the son-in-law and his wife who traveled in the mountains and rivers, for the sake of safety, brought: a large number of bodyguards to escort.
The second group, Ma Bang, Jiang Feng and Zhang Chong led the Qincha Guards, except for a small amount of goods, they were all weapons and equipment of the guards and necessary materials.
The third group is the dart team headed by Yang Shan.
The eunuch Xing'an was arranged in the team of the dart bureau, pretending to be a returning officer, and hired the dart bureau as a guard.
The three groups of people echoed each other from afar, pretending that they didn't know anyone.
After resting for about half an hour, I continued on my way.
I used less than a stick of incense. At the time, everyone came to the first mountain gate of Bauhinia Pass.
The canyon opened and entered, and a majestic pass stood in front of you. The side wall stretches from the gate to the west wing, reaching the top of the two peaks, which is majestic and shocking.
A stone plaque is embedded on the forehead of the door. The three words "Bauhinia Pass" in the horizontal book are full of atmosphere, and a compelling momentum is coming.
"It's majestic!"
It was the first time I saw such a huge Xiongguan, and people who had never seen the world were standing below, feeling how small they were.
Meng Yan didn't feel anything, he was a person from the later generations, and he had seen more magnificent buildings than this, and he hadn't seen Bauhinia Pass before, and he wasn't so shocked.
It's Guo Yue. This girl came out for the first time, and she saw that everything was fresh, so she was very excited, and her face was red with excitement.
Guo Xiaochao was also very excited, if it weren't for Meng Yan, he might not be able to get out of the capital in his life.
And now, his heart is no longer guarding, and he still has the pride of making contributions!
It was lively in front of the gate. There were a lot of people gathered, so they came here as a group. It's not too eye-catching.
In front of the pass, there is a temple on the left and a military camp on the right.
From the mainland to the outside of the customs, the insertion is not very strict, as long as there is an identity guide and the necessary customs defense.
Of course, the smuggling of smuggled salt, pig iron and other materials will be strictly investigated. That's why so many people gathered at this closure.
"Okay, let's go, let's go......"
The speed of a single person is very fast, and it is not entrained. You can see it at a glance, and you don't even need to check it.
But for a large group such as a caravan or caravan, the inspection should be careful.
"Stop, what are you in here?"
"No, it's nothing, the official ......" the man panicked.
"It's nothing, what are you panicking about, bring it over!" The soldier came up, carried the man away, and soon found a bag of salt from his body.
"Selling illicit salt, so bold, arrest it!"
"Official, this salt is eaten by the small family, you are accommodating, accommodating......" The man begged.
"How can you be accommodating?"
"Are these enough?" The man shuddered and pulled some copper plates out of his pocket.
"That's it, what are you going to do to ask for food?"
The man shuddered for a moment and took out some more.
"Let's go, let's go......"
"Xie Guanye, Xie Guanye!" The man hurriedly picked up the salt bag on the ground and ran away.
"This ......"
"I have long heard that the people below are wantonly exploiting the people and setting up cards to collect money, but I didn't expect it to be so rampant!" Guo Xiaochao said angrily.
"It's light, it's good to let that person go, what's even darker is that it's even worse if you give money and confiscate the salt." Ma Weiran took over the conversation and sighed.
"It's our turn, Brother Ma, you should be familiar with these people, right?" Meng Yan asked.
"I still know each other, but if I say that I won't be an official, I'm afraid they won't buy my account?" Ma Weiran said.
"You go and try it, let's see how it goes, we didn't bring any contraband, and we weren't afraid of them searching." Meng Yan Road.
"Son, can we bring weapons with us?" Guo Xiaochao reminded in a low voice.
"Didn't we show it, don't worry, Brother Ma can handle it." Meng Yan said firmly.
This is also a small test of Meng Yan's ability to Ma Weiran.
"Oh, this is not Lord Ma, the little one is greeting you!"
"Don't, I'm not a horse now, I've resigned." Ma Weiran smiled.
"Master Ma, what are you doing, don't do a good official, it's a pity to resign, the size is also a seven-grade, and we can't reach it with our feet!"
"Officialdom is not easy to mix, I admit death, the personnel are not good, the performance appraisal of the officials is always not excellent, and it is not interesting to do this county order, so I simply resign and don't do it, and I don't have to be angry!" Ma Weiran said.
"If you want to talk about this officialdom, it's really ......"
"I'm going to mix rice for that boy now, and serve it as a western seat for the little boy, how much is it for a month!" Ma Weiran stretched out two fingers and said.
"Twenty taels?"
"No!"
"Two hundred taels!" The sentry's eyes widened.
"That's not it, otherwise I'm willing to resign?" Ma Weiran smiled, "People are from the capital, go to Xuanfu to visit relatives, and I will follow by the way." ”
"From the capital?"
"That's not it, sue you. Don't tell anyone, this prince is a relative of the emperor......"
"It's so big?"
"Although the family is big, there is no slightest, Corporal Lixian, I begged a few times before I agreed, and I will wait for a while. It's convenient for you, the prince brought a female dependent...... "Ma Weiran raised his hand, and a silver ingot of almost ten taels was stuffed over.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say......" The sentry officer weighed it, and suddenly smiled, I didn't expect that this Ma County Order would not be an official, but would be a man, and if he knew this, he would not have sat on the cold bench for ten years.
"And we'll go?"
"In the past. Let's go over, can you still give face to Master Ma? The sentinel smiled and tucked the silver ingot into his arms.
"Childe, we can go!"
"How much money did it cost?"
"Ten taels!"
"It's a really expensive customs fee." Guo Xiaochao was a little dissatisfied.
"Hades is easy to deal with, this little ghost is difficult, don't we haven't revealed our identities, what's there to worry about?" Meng Yan smiled slightly.
Facts have proved that Ma Weiran is not a person who does not know how to advance and retreat and be flexible, he just has his own principles and temperament.
Some things can be flexible. Some can't, otherwise the most basic principles of being a human being will be lost. So what's the point?
Zhang Chong and the others also passed the test, although their faces were relatively new, but the smell of slaughter on their bodies could make people feel a little afraid.
These checkpoint guards also know who can be offended and who can't be offended, and if they don't get it right, they will get into big trouble.
However, Yang Shan and his entourage were stopped under the banner of "Changfeng Dart Bureau", and the reason was very simple. He was recognized.
Although the head of the Fuwei Dart Bureau has long been a dart, it still has some reputation in this way.
Unfortunately, this sentinel film has met Yang Shan a few times, and he actually recognized him.
The people in this Fuwei Dart Bureau are all wanted criminals, if you let it go. Dozens of them, guarding the gates, had to be sent to the Black Iron Fort to move stones.
For their own interests and future, they could only stop Yang Shan and the others.
"Childe, what should I do?"
"Don't worry, let's take a look first!" Meng Yan and his entourage, who had already passed through the Guò Pass, found that Yang Shan had been stopped, and stopped to look back.
"Official, official, easy to talk, easy to talk, our Fuwei Dart Bureau has been released from the wanted by the imperial court, and we are not wanted now!"
"Released from the wanted notice, why haven't we received an official letter from the imperial court?"
"If the official doesn't believe it, look at this, this is the pass certificate issued by the Yamen of the Qincha Datong Inspectorate, can you take a look?"
"Qincha Datong Inspector Yamen, haven't you heard of this yamen?"
"Boss, didn't you forget that there was an official document a few days ago, saying that this Qincha Datong Inspector said that he wanted to pass from our side?"
"Yes, I forgot, but we haven't received an official document to revoke the wanted warrant, if they are let go, who will bear the responsibility?"
"But what if it's true?"
"By the way, since your Fuwei Dart Bureau has been revoked from the wanted warrant, how can you play the banner of this Changfeng Dart Bureau?"
"It's not that something happened to the Fuwei Dart Bureau, although it's okay now, but I always feel that this name is not good, so I changed it."
"Fuwei Fuwei, it sounds like a blessing, it's not very good, there will be times when the wind and waves will be long, this name is good, atmospheric, and pleasing to the ear!"
"You are auspicious, you are auspicious!"
"But you're ...... this trip"
"Escorting a father-in-law who returned to his hometown in Jingli is old and released from the palace."
"This eunuch is not allowed to leave the palace, even if he has to have a special place for the elderly, why is it back to be released?"
"This father-in-law's family lives in Wei County, and he is the same township as Wang Zhen, the chief eunuch of the celebrant eunuch."
"It's so big?"
"Of course, otherwise you think anyone can return to their roots?"
"Confess, Mr. Yang, your boss has a lot, don't mind!" The sentinel hurriedly confessed.
"It's okay, we don't want to disturb the place, so we also ask the official to keep it secret."
"Certainly, definitely, Mr. Yang, please!"
"Thank you, it's a little meaning, the official is drinking tea!" Yang Shan quietly handed over a piece of silver and smiled kindly.
"You're welcome, you're welcome!" The sentry said with his mouth, but the movements of his hands were not slow.
As the saying goes, the phoenix that has landed is not as good as a chicken, and this is all about returning to the hometown, and it is naturally not as good as when he is in power, he should be low-key and low-key, and he should spend money.
There is nothing suspicious at all.
"What's the matter today, the big guys are one after another, hehe, it's cheap, you can open meat again tonight!" The sentry looked at the team in the distance, muttered, weighed the silver in his hand, and couldn't help but smile proudly. (To be continued......) R1292
