Chapter Ninety-Four: A Snowy Night
As soon as Han Jun called for reinforcements, he immediately summoned Xiao Han Man.
"Second sister, I'll help you!"
Later, Han Xiu and Han Qi also chased after them, but they didn't have the courage to light a cannon battle and grabbed a handful of snow from the snowdrift piled high on the side of the road.
"Hoo ......"
"Poof......
Han Qi hit Han Jinyue's face with one move, Han Jinyue was immersed in the artillery battle, but he didn't expect a hidden weapon to attack, he made a face, and shouted that the artillery battle in his hand was out of his hand,
"Bang ......"
The cannon flew out, but it exploded in front of the door of the house next door, and there were several children in that family.
"Brothers, blow him up!"
A few boys in the family lit a cannon battle and threw it over, Han Jinyue was blown up and ran to the door of his house, and several sisters saw him being bullied, so they naturally forgot about the "infighting" at this time, and focused on "going outside" first, but they were helping Han Jinyue deal with the brothers next door.
This battle was very "tragic", and when Wang personally went to the gate to lead the children back to the house, they stood in a row in the hall, and looked at the bright lights, several people looked embarrassed, everyone looked at it and laughed, and the most stable and dignified Han embroidery was also messy, and the skirt was stained with a clump of stains, but it was carefully dropped in the snow, Wang looked at the forehead,
"Big sister, why do you have to follow them to mess around!"
Han Xiu blushed and just lowered his head and smiled, but Han Shifeng on the side laughed,
"You should have fun during the New Year, and you don't have to be harsh on the children!"
Wang Shi replied,
"These two are both people who want to marry and be daughters-in-law, how can they still be children!"
Han Shifeng said with a smile,
"They're all grandmothers, and they're still children in front of us!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand,
"Go and change your clothes and catch a cold!"
A few small ones laughed and ran to the back to change their clothes......
At this time, when the family in the Beijing division was happy, the head of Wei Wu was already in the wind and snow and it didn't take much to get to Qingzhou, only in the middle of the night the wind and snow were quite big, and the road ahead was really difficult, the leader Jin Chengyu raised his hand to signal everyone Jin Ma, and looked at the village road with flashing lights not far ahead,
"The wind and snow are too strong and the road ahead is difficult, so we will shoot in the village in front tonight, and wait for the snow to stop tomorrow!"
"Yes!"
The entourage of the people should be silent, walking on the road on a snowy night, among which the hard work is not the people on the road, it is impossible to understand, and they are relieved to hear the words of hundreds of households.
Wei Wu glanced at Wang Dahu, who looked a little depressed next to him, and asked with concern,
"Master, can you still hold up as an old man?"
Wang Dahu smiled dumbly and waved his hand,
"It's okay, I'll be able to relax tonight!"
But he sighed secretly,
"Is it really old, I want to investigate the enemy situation in the border fortress back then, lie in the ice and snow for three days and three nights, only a sip of old wine hanging, kill people to live as usual, and now I can't hold it anymore after running a little more!"
The group rushed to the village, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, every household has to observe the New Year, and there are people walking outside, seeing that someone enters the village at this time, they are curious to look at this line.
This time, Jin Yiwei went out on an errand, but he was wearing civilian clothes, acting secretly, Jin Chengyu and his entourage were dressed as darts masters, and someone came forward to inquire if there was an inn in the village, and the villagers pointed to a place with a tall lantern.
"That's the inn!"
The group went along the road, found the inn and went to the hotel, and the innkeeper was surprised to see everyone.
"A few guest officers, it's the New Year's Festival with such a heavy snowfall, how can you go far away!"
Jin Chengyu pretended to be a rude man, came over and sat on the bench with his foot, and put the big knife on the table at his waist.
"Bang ......"
"Don't talk nonsense first, shopkeeper, hurry up and get some hot wine and hot food, let our brothers have a good meal before talking!"
The shopkeeper hurriedly instructed Xiao Er to go to the back to buy, everyone sat down and shouted for hot water, the shopkeeper personally brought hot water, and several men did not dislike it, Jin Chengyu used it for the first time, and then a few people wore a handkerchief, wiped their faces one by one, and when it was Wei Wu's turn, he saw a black ball in the basin, and couldn't help frowning secretly, so he got up and asked the shopkeeper about the basin,
"Shopkeeper, but still have hot water?"
The answer of the shopkeeper,
"There's it in the back of the stove!"
Wei Wu personally went to fetch a basin of hot water, soaked the veil in water, wrung it out, and gave it to Wang Dahu.
"Master, please!"
Wang Dahu was not polite, he stretched out his hand and wiped his head, face and neck, and felt a tingling pain on his face when the heat hit his face, but he was a little frostbitten, Wei Wu waited for him to use it, so he used it.
At this time, Xiao Er in the back kitchen has already come out with both hands to hold the food, the hot dishes and hot rice are packed in a large clay pot, and there is a bowl of hot mutton soup, Wei Wu took a big spoon and fished a few fishes, seeing that there were still a few stick bones in it, he was busy first giving it to Jin Chengyu and then Wang Dahu, and then everyone, he had a last turn in his own house, and fished out some minced meat to eat,
Jin Chengyu saw that this kid was very good, laughed at Wang Dahu, patted him on the shoulder and said,
"Lao Wang, is this apprentice getting a good job?"
Wang Dahu smiled,
"The people who are pointed out to me by 100 households are naturally not bad!"
"Hmm!"
Jin Chengyu nodded and said,
"This kid is clever and willing to endure hardships, but he can do things!"
A few men in brocade clothes, seeing that this kid would look at his eyes and know that he was respectful, so he smiled and said in the tone of Jin Baihu,
"Lao Wang, look at the first few apprentices in front of you, they don't have this cleverness, this kid will have a great future in the future!"
Someone patted Wei Wu on the shoulder,
"Boy, when you are developed in the future, you must honor your master!"
Wei Wuyingdao,
"Master should be filial, and the eldest brothers will take care of Xiao Wu, and they must also be filial piety!"
The crowd laughed,
"The kid can talk!"
A table of people said, while the subordinates are not idle, not long after a table of things were all stuffed into the stomach, at the end of the feeling is a little insufficient, and let the shopkeeper bring another bowl of soup, each person drank a bowl of slit, at this time Jin Chengyu has the leisure to talk to the shopkeeper,
"Shopkeeper, what is the name of this place, and how far is it from here to Qingzhou Mansion?"
The treasurer answered,
"Guest officer, our place is called Zihedian, and it is only a few dozen miles away from Qingzhou, but it is not easy to walk on this road......
Kim Sung-yu asked,
"But the road is closed due to heavy snow? That is to say, if tomorrow the weather is fine we will leave, if the snow does not stop we will stay here for the night! ”
The shopkeeper stopped talking and said with a forced smile,
"Xiao Lao'er is opening a store to do business, so naturally he also hopes that the guest officials will stay for a few more days!"
Jin Chengyu is an old man, how could he not see the reluctance of the shopkeeper, and frowned at the moment,
"Shopkeeper, why do I think you're saying the opposite?"
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly when he heard this,
"Guest officer, this ...... This ......"
Wang Dahu on the side coughed twice and said,
"Brother, looking at you, it seems that there is something unspeakable, are you afraid that we will not pay the store if we live in the hotel?"
The shopkeeper waved his hand,
"What the guest officer said, a few uncles knew at a glance that it was a decent person, how could it be that little old man's store money would not be missing......
After thinking about it,
"Alas, let's tell you the truth, if you stay here for one more day, I will lose one more day, and if you stay for one less day, the little old man will lose one day!"
Everyone was puzzled when they heard what he said, and Wei Wu asked,
"Shopkeeper, if you open a store to do business, there is a reason to lose money, if you lose money to do business, it is better to close the door and go home to farm!"
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said,
"Don't hide it from this little brother, the little old man has this plan!"
When Jin Chengyu heard this, he asked the shopkeeper to sit down and speak,
"At this hour, no one will invest in the store again, so the shopkeeper will sit down and talk to our brother!"
The shopkeeper sat down, and let the little two serve another pot of tea, and sat down with everyone.
"It's been 20 years since Xiao Lao'er opened a store here, and I'm afraid that the store will close after this year......"
This car told everyone, it turned out that this place is already the boundary of Qingzhou, there are a lot of merchants who come and go on weekdays, this shopkeeper opens an inn here, and the business is also good, so it has been done peacefully for more than ten years, and in the first five years, there is no more than one mountain bandit in this vicinity.
These mountain bandits are strange, but they rarely plunder the passing merchants, only every once in a while they rush into the nearby villages and towns, and forcibly take silver taels from the merchants doing business, and they are also called "peace silver".
At the beginning of the year, the merchants naturally refused to pay, and when they were robbed, they reported to the government, hoping that the government could send troops to suppress the bandits, and the government also sent troops, but the gang of mountain bandits came and went like the wind, and every time the people of the government went out, the mountain bandits disappeared without a trace, and after the people who arrived at the government left, they came out again.
Repeated like this several times, this bandit has not been suppressed, but there is a tendency to become more and more intense, and everyone behind is also thinking about the taste, I am afraid that the official mansion has already had the eyeliner of the mountain bandits, but if there is an abnormality, they will immediately ventilate and report the news, how can they catch it like this?
The merchants in the villages and towns everywhere are also unable to do so, so they have to honestly pay the peace silver, and when they get to the back, this gang of mountain bandits is getting bigger and bigger, but there are eyeliners in all villages and towns, for example, this Zihe shop has people who know how much business he goes in and out of this inn every day, and then he comes to collect the cashier.
It seems that on Chinese New Year's Eve today, Jin Chengyu's group is six, and one person receives twenty copper plates, which is one hundred and twenty copper plates, and the treasurer said with a bitter face,
"Guest officer, my small shop eats every day, and there are only twenty copper plates in one room, and tonight's meal will only charge you fifty copper plates.
What kind of person is Kim Sung-yu?
I have been mixed up in Jinyiwei for more than ten years, and I have been running a lot outside, and I know that there must be something about the government as soon as I hear about this kind of thing!
I think that there are many generals in Daqing, there are both guards and militia in various places, a small mountain bandit, where there is something that cannot be exterminated, most of it is because the government is unwilling to make a desperate effort to eliminate the bandits!
