Step by step approaching (IV) (below) the worries of the peak

The boss looked very simple: "Although we are small businessmen, but since the beginning of this Xifeng Town, my grandfather has opened this inn in this town, and the commander of the Xifeng Camp has changed a lot, and he doesn't have to come to my Shunfeng Inn to have a meal, meet his family and the like." Every governor has relatives and friends. I've seen a few commanders, too. ”

Yu Ling continued to ask, "It seems that the shopkeepers are familiar with these chiefs?" ”

"I can't say that I know each other, but it's true that I have some dealings."

"They usually come to town? Will you come to your store? ”

"That's, how big can this Xifeng Town be. The chiefs are not all in this town when they go out for fun. Left but these few shops. ”

Yu Ling asked with an innocent look, "The chief came out to have fun?" Didn't you say that prostitutes and gambling were not allowed in the barracks? At the beginning, he asked someone to bring the letter home, and said that the camp was strictly controlled, and the commander watched it closely. If you earn money, you have nowhere to spend it. ”

The boss shook his head lightly and sighed: "It also depends on the person, whether it is clear or not, but where can I manage so much secretly." What's more, the chief himself sometimes comes out to meet relatives and friends, invite people to dinner, drink, listen to music or something. Of course, the soldiers were not so free, but a few senior officers came and went casually, not only in the restaurant, but also to listen to music. The general one is not good yet. Therefore, the art hall opened by the few beautiful girls in the capital not only has the sisters and sisters, it is said that the food and drink are of the highest quality, and there are special loose bones and knocking feet, and the fairy-like enjoyment, but ordinary soldiers can't afford to give so much silver, and they are not allowed to enter, just to do the business of these chiefs. ”

Shinno put on a curious look: "Oh, there are still places like this in this town? ”

"Of course, two blocks away is the Yiya Garden."

Xinye nodded: "Oh, it's all from the capital, so it's going to be an eye-opener." ”

"I just persuaded the prince not to join in the fun. It is said that the girls who look good there are all wrapped by the chief. accidentally offended a chief, and he couldn't eat and walked around. ”

Xinye pretended to be surprised: "Oh, these military masters still have such hobbies? But since she is the sister in the building, anyone can play, and the military master can't be unreasonable. What's more, they are usually in the camp, and they don't go every day, so I just go to see if my sister is free, won't I provoke them? ”

"This young man is still young, man, of course these hobbies are inevitable." said that he was young and ignorant, Lian'er laughed a hundred times in her heart.

"These military masters not only like it, but they don't sleep in the camp almost every night, they sleep there every day, and they all have their own girls with long bags. Sometimes I get bored of playing and want to reach out and play with someone else's. Stretch out this hand, and something will happen. This is not the last month, Vice President Liu is said to have led his hand with Vice President Zhou for this, and he was seriously injured at that time, and vomited blood and died in the middle of the night when he returned. ”

Lian'er frowned: "The military master died for a woman to fight?" Does the court care? "It's common for some casualties in the army to happen, but if a deputy says no, it's gone, and there's no formal report, so it's not that simple.

"Who knows. Commander Gao has the final say on everything here, he is close to Vice President Zhou, and specially asked Miss Lin Fang to go to the capital to find a girl for Vice President Zhou. ”

Xinye chuckled: "This official is a good official, and he can be a matchmaker." ”

The shopkeeper said solemnly: "Isn't it? As an official, you can't just play by yourself, regardless of your subordinates, otherwise your subordinates are also men, just you eat, people are hungry, where is this matter settled. But these military masters are sometimes too greedy, I heard that the field pipe belt that disappeared last month played all night in the yard the night before, and the body was weak from playing, and the next day when I went back to attract wind and cold, I couldn't afford to get sick. Didn't you just say that I should have a sister to marry these officials? To tell you the truth, even if there is, I won't marry. None of them are serious. As he spoke, his voice became quieter, and even the ordinary people sitting next to him could not necessarily hear it. However, these people are all skilled, not a word was missed, and they glanced at each other, It seems that this Xifeng water is really deep. The Great Zhou Dynasty was very strict with the control of generals, not only the generals who led the troops, but also the military department and the officials department, as well as the personnel supervision in the permanent army.

Shinno deliberately shook his head and said, "Oh, if that's the case, my cousin's family affair may not be able to be married, who are they?" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "That's not what I said, that is, a few commanders are like this, and many soldiers are still good people." But if I shouldn't say it, if Miss's future husband is in that circle, I'd better advise Miss to find another husband. ”

Yu Ling looked at the shopkeeper with innocent eyes and asked, "What do you say?" What circle? ”

"It's the circle of entering and exiting the small courtyard of Yiya. These people who came out to serve as soldiers were all trying to earn some hard money. It is also normal to work hard in the camp and curry favor with the commander. However, the way these chiefs reward their subordinates is nothing more than money and women. A lot of people who are not angry, and those who have received the money have spent the money in that small courtyard again. ”

"Oh, it's all spent on those girls."

"Some are, some are there again. But there were many of them who also liked girls, so the chief rewarded them directly to go to the courtyard to find girls. But they are all according to official qualities, and the people below are all waiting for some girls with flat heads and straight faces, and those beautiful ones are only waiting for the chief officer. ”

"It seems that the high commander is very rich, and he actually raised a girl to reward his subordinates. With such a big camp, I don't know how many girls I have to raise. ”

"I've heard that there are only twenty or thirty of them. However, they are subordinates, not the soldiers below, and they are all in the battalion. The average petty soldier doesn't care, and won't let them touch or reward them at all. ”

"It's not easy to find twenty or thirty girls around here who do this."

"Where it's local, it's all from out of town that Miss Lin Fang got it."

"Are they all beautiful? Then I'm going to see and see. ”

"The little one advises the son not to go, where you don't look down on the general, and those who are pleasing to the eye are the masters. Last time, there was a son-in-law who came to look for relatives, and he went there to fall in love with Miss Lin Fang, but he didn't catch anything, and fell into the Wuxu River in front of him and died. ”

"Drowned?"

"Who knows. Someone saw the body by the river and went to the government to report the case, but the government did not investigate much, and directly sentenced him to fall into the water and die. ”

"What is the origin of this Lin Fang girl?"

"Where do we know where she came from, only said that she came from the capital, and said that she was a dancer in front of the emperor, we saw it once from afar, the demon is amazing, the person is beautiful, but compared to the two sisters in your family, it is far behind. But no matter what, she is the person on the tip of the heart of the high commander, who dares to do anything to her. ”

This so-called high commander is Gao Yuan'an, the ancestor was born from the dragon, the second son of the Duke of Xinguo, and the eldest brother Gao Yuanshan attacked the title, so he joined the army, and slowly became the commander of the Xifeng camp all the way. Gao Yuanan has always been known for his strict military discipline in the army, and the soldiers he led never prostitutes or gambled. He did not bring his family with him, and he stayed at home in the capital. However, it is said that recently, the three sons of the Gao family have been sick one after another, and they have gradually been sent back to their hometown in Jinan to recuperate, and they have not returned. As for what the strange disease is, the doctor who diagnosed and treated it did not know. The most bizarre thing is that there are no cases and no pulses. A duke's house, after the general, is so weird that it has to be alarming. And as the innkeeper and various intelligence said are true, this Lin Fang is Gao Yuanan's mistress, which is inconsistent with the image of him in the past who cleans himself and takes care of himself so that he can strictly lead the army.

After looking at Lin Fang from afar many times, Xinye and Lian'er came to the same conclusion, this woman and the nine-tailed fox seem to be from the same family. If this is the case, I don't know which prince is standing behind this high commander, whether he stands over automatically, or because Lin Fang and the three children who have a strange disease.

Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Tang have always had a relationship, although Mrs. Tang is now based in Kansai, but they will also give gifts to each other during the New Year. As a meritorious family, the Gao family also has dealings with the Chen family, who are skilled in medicine. The Gao family had three young masters in a row who were suffering from strange diseases, and neither asked the Tang family's medical hall for help, nor did they inquire about the Chen family. The doctors of Baicaodo also thought it strange when they heard about it.

And the person who drowned in the Wuxu River was not an ordinary person, Song Wenxing, the youngest brother of Song Wenchang, a member of the current Ministry of Labor of the Runan family, was also a famous literati in Runan, and later entered Beijing to take the exam. He came here to look for his relatives, and no one knew who he was looking for. The local government of Xifeng only sentenced one person to fall into the water, and Song Wenchang did not accept it calmly without any doubts, but Song Wenxing's wife and brother felt that this matter was different, so they asked someone to inquire. And the person entrusted happened to be a deacon in the prince's mansion.

And Song Wenxing has no other relatives to visit here, according to his brother, when he left home, he only said that he would go to Xifeng to help his brother. What he did, no one knew, Song Wenchang flatly denied that he had anything to do to send his younger brother to Xifeng.

Within two months, a deputy commander and a pipe band died violently, a literati from the capital accidentally drowned, and the commander's family contracted a strange disease in the capital.

And some people here buy a large number of special medicines from the Baicaotang and the second-level pharmacies under the Baihuatang in the nearby big towns, which makes people feel even more weird. These drugs are often either hot, toxic, or hallucinogenic drugs that can be used to refine the fascinating nature. Although these people purchased from different pharmacies in a scattered manner, due to the special nature of these medicines, the stock of ordinary pharmacies was very small, and the large pharmacies in this area were all the capital of Baicaotang, and these medicines were shipped in large quantities for a while, so that the local supervisors had to be vigilant.
