The book continues above.

It is said that that that year, it was the turn of Wang Jia of Lijiazhuang to go to the county seat to serve in the city.

Those who are in the city, patrol the city at night until the morning and dan, and hold pine oil torches on the top of the city wall all night to drink the wind, needless to say, Wang Jia He also refused to come to the top of this poor.

However, who made Wang Jia his son-in-law from another village to Lijia Village? This kind of drudgery is not given to you, how can others do it?

So Li Zheng of Lijia Village didn't say a word, and sent this ten-year 'Chengdan' to Wang Jia, and by the way, he also promised him that as long as he could deal with the errand of this ten-year, he would be exempted from his family's summer tax this year.

There is a saying that 'harsh government is fiercer than the tiger', Wang Jia couldn't withstand the temptation of Lizheng to exempt from summer tax, so he had to tie up the thick cotton robe he wore in winter, put a burden on his shoulders, and came to the county seat with a sad face.

Coincidentally, he and Wang Jia were assigned to a group of Ying Chengdan is a vendor who sets up a tofu and soy milk stall in the county market and is called Tofu Liu......

The tofu seller has to get up in the middle of the night to grind soybeans and make soy milk, and then use brine to make tender and delicious tofu, so that he can go out of the stall early in the morning and sell tofu and soy milk to those who like to make tofu dishes.

If you come to Yingchengdan every night, won't it delay business?

So Tofu Liu rolled his eyes, and with a smile on his face, he arched at Wang Jia, begging him to help him cover up in front of the errand officer, so that he would not delay the business of making ends meet.

In return, Tofu Liu took care of Wang Jia's tofu and millet rice twice a day, morning and evening, and the hot salted soy milk was also open to drink...... How, is this deal worth it?

That Wang Jia thought about it, and said in his heart that this wall defense is actually a bluff, if there is really a large group of bandits to grab the fire and enter the city, it is said that there are only two city dans, even if you add twenty more, it will not help.

Well, how can you say that you can save ten days of food and cold-warming drinks, right?

But I said in advance, if you go back and blame it, you can go and explain it to Lord Cheng at home.

In this way, Wang Jia began to guard the city alone; The first few days were normal, but by the evening of the ninth day...... But something happened.

That night, Zhao Xiancheng, who came to assess and supervise the work of the Chengdan garrison, expressed satisfaction with Wang Jia's night duty in the past ten days.

Therefore, Zhao Xiancheng authorized Wang Jia to go home early tomorrow morning, and on the last night, Chengdan asked that tofu Liu to stare here...... Don't think that the official doesn't know his little flower intestines, he doesn't leave his post this night, how did the steaming bean curd in the morning come out?

Wang Jia couldn't help but be overjoyed when he learned that he could go home to recuperate after staying up for another night, and hurriedly nodded at Zhao Xiancheng and flattered himself, and volunteered to go to the city gate to push the city gate in the hole, and at the same time loudly scolded the pedestrians at the city gate, so that their movements were tightened, and Uncle Wang was about to close the door.

However, God seems to be unwilling to let Wang Jia get his wish, that day Wang Jia exerted all his strength, sweating so much that he would have to push a wooden door with an iron nail hinge weighing more than 200 catties.

At this moment, on the pipe in the distance, a burst of smoke and dust suddenly rose up, and there were faint bursts of people shouting horses in the wind, and the sound of horses' hooves was so dense that it was like beating the drum before the gong of the singing opera, as if a group of people were desperately beating horses and galloping.

Seeing that a caravan of merchants was about to enter the city, Wang Jia had to stop pushing the door, leaned lightly on the door, panted and raised his sleeves to wipe the fine sweat on his forehead, and at the same time lifted the placket of his clothes and gently fanned the wind into his arms.

Wang Jiaxin said that how could these guests be so good at picking the time, just in time to enter the city when Grandpa Wang and I pushed and closed half of the city gate?

Now Grandpa Wang, I'm so tired that I can't push back the door that has been pushed back; When you are urging the horses into the city, be careful and don't crash into the door panel and break your front teeth!

Even Zhao Xiancheng and the two yacha who were patrolling the city with knives behind him also sneered at the group of 'merchants' who came on horseback in the distance, and stood in front of the half-closed city gate with their hands crossed...... In this way, if the 'merchants' who came on galloping horses did not give some goods to honor their superiors, it would be difficult for them to enter the city.

However, just when the county Cheng Wangjia and others were blocking the door to ask for bribes, a yacha with good eyesight suddenly let out a low "hey".

After taking a closer look, the face of this yacha suddenly changed, and he hurriedly leaned into Zhao Xiancheng's ear and said in a desperate low voice: "My lord, there is incense burning on the back of the person who came!" ”

As soon as he heard that there was a burning incense stick on the back of the person who came, Zhao Xiancheng, who was pouting and sneering, was also shocked, hurriedly raised his feet, put his hand on the pergola and looked in the direction of the visitor, and then hurriedly greeted the two officials: "Quick, quick, open the door!" ”

Anyway, Wang Jia was copying his hands, waiting to see a good show, but he didn't expect that this play was not seen, but he became a person who played the show, and he didn't turn around in his head for a while, and then he was kicked viciously by the angry Zhao Xiancheng in the ass: "Are you deaf?" ”

This kick kicked the stunned Wang Jia clearly, and hurriedly followed the county magistrate's side, exerting his strength to push the newly closed city gate, and finally pushed the city gate open again before the gang of horseback men arrived.

I saw a rough man dressed in green clothes, with a brocade cloth burden tightly on his back, and a little finger thickness inserted in his neck, and the incense on the top of the incense has its own green smoke and endless incense, that appearance is really indescribably weird

The rough man "shouted" at the gate of the city to stop the sweaty galloping horse under his crotch, turned around and waved at the dozen men behind him: "Enter the city and scatter, gather at the Xu family inn tomorrow morning." ”

The men behind him suddenly screamed, and then whistled in their mouths, urging the horses under their crotches, and raising their speed again, and rushed into the open city gate in this way.

Seeing that his subordinates had entered the city one after another, the face of the rough man with the brocade cloth burden on his back was slightly softened, and when he turned his head to rush to the road, he found that no one was following him, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then waved his hand at Zhao Xiancheng and others: "You wait to close the door quickly, and you must not let any woman enter the city tonight; After the deed is completed, in front of Xiangzu, I will remember your merits. ”

Wang Jia didn't expect people to be so arrogant, and he and a few county officials sweated so hard that they put their party into the city, not to mention rewards and thanks, but in the end they didn't even have a polite word...... Which is rare for your bird incense ancestor to write down the merits!

However, without waiting for Wang Jia to say something mocking, Zhao Xiancheng, who was the leader, was full of smiles and arched at the man again and again: "Please rest assured, the lower officials will take people to close the city."

When the rough man rode his horse far away, Zhao Xiancheng tore off the smirk on his face, and whispered in the direction where the man left: "It's really alive and ghostly, what are those people doing in this small place in Xigu?" Don't get into trouble! ”

After two more sentences, Zhao Xiancheng suddenly realized that he was out of shape; Xu felt a little embarrassed, this Zhao Xiancheng turned around and kicked Wang Jia behind him again: "Blind dumb talent, those two holes on the top of your nose are panting?" Then the boss can't see it, and he knows that he will close the door! ”

In the end, Zhao Xiancheng threw down a sentence: "Hurry up and close the city gate, put your own tricks brighter tonight, and if you dare to cause trouble, I will send you to the yamen to receive a meal of fried pork on a bamboo board!" After that, he stomped his foot heavily and led the two servants to leave in a hurry.

I didn't expect this fart to shoot Wang Jia on the horse's leg and wiped his nose, and then turned around and "hey, hey, hey" to push the city gate shut, hanging his head so dejectedly that he rubbed his sore waist and legs, and wanted to find a sheltered corner in the city gate to sit down and rest his legs.

At this moment, Wang Jia suddenly felt that his vest was being pushed by a sharp and sharp hard object, and at the same time, a woman's voice as crisp and tactful as a yellow finch in the forest sounded in his ears: "If you want to live, tell the truth, where are all the people who just lit incense and hurried away?" ”
