Chapter 103: Golden Leaves

"More than a dozen horses died in the Jiangnan camp?! Really fake! They are all military horses, and they are usually served by special military doctors, and they haven't fought recently, how can they say that they will die! Shouldn't I just squeeze you, don't talk nonsense to me just because I don't have anything to say! ”

Listening to Lao Yang, who collected dung, in the camp in the south of the Yangtze River, a few days ago, just a dozen horses died, and the heart of the coachman Lao Wang moved instinctively, his face remained unchanged, and he said another sentence to Lao Yang, "Seriously, what's wrong with your waist?" Could it be...... cough, I'm thinking, it's okay if you're tired, it's just ...... Eighty percent of the children are tired of your mother-in-law, it's true! ”

"Fuck your uncle's dead king! Talking about my mother-in-law again! My mother-in-law is a little more powerful, a little more powerful, so that she can not be bullied, you know! ”

Raised his foot and wanted to kick the coachman Lao Wang, but his foot was not able to lift up, and his back hurt again, and the dung collection Lao Yang had a bitter face, so he hurriedly collected his feet back, holding the shovel on the ground with one hand, and rubbing his waist with the other, "What am I fooling you for!" It's a real thing! Lie to your whole family! If you really don't believe me, I'll take you to dig in the woods outside the camp in Jiangnan! ”

"Really dead, huh? Tsk, a dozen military horses, can't that be a trivial matter? The kid in charge of the stable, didn't he get pouted from above? ”

The coachman Lao Wang seemed to be shocked by Lao Yang's words, and was slightly "stunned", so he approached him, lowered his voice, and asked him again, "Next spring, can you still make a living by 'betting on horses'?" My lord is a rare horse, but he is full of worries, and he wants to get a few dark clouds and snow back! ”

"I can do it! Why can't you do it! I'll tell you, the boy in charge of the stable. Not only was he not demoted, but he was rewarded by the top for handling this matter properly! ”

glanced at the old coachman. On the face of Lao Yang, who collected the dung, it was a smugness. Hehe smiled, took out a piece of gold leaf from his belt, and shook it in front of the coachman Lao Wang, "See it?" Golden Leaves! The boy in charge of the stable, reward me with your hard-earned money! You don't know how scared that kid was whistling. Drinking a little wine, a golden leaf, and throwing it over to me, tsk, such a good thing, if there is a good thing every day, I will ......"

"Send you a big dream in spring and autumn! Every day! Why don't you dream that a cornucopia fell from the sky and killed your turtle grandson! ”

snatched the golden leaves in the hands of Lao Yang, put it in his hand, and the coachman Lao Wang was surprised. At this moment, it can be said that it has reached the point of no return.

This golden leaf, to say the least, must weigh four dollars. Leaving aside the handiwork money for making the molding, it was only converted into silver, at least, it was worth thirty taels, and a low-ranking soldier in charge of the stable, if he could do so, would give a man who collected dung this much reward, he himself...... How many hands do you get?

According to previous years, those horse dealers went to "bet on horses" every year. In a year, the clear water got five or six hundred taels of silver in his hand. It's all about scolding his mother that makes him happy, and he usually rewards people. At most, it is half a tael of silver...... According to his understanding of that person, if he got the benefits in his hands, he would never be so generous without eighteen thousand taels!

"Hey, you guy, just look at it, and rob you! I managed to hide this and didn't show it to my wife! ”

Seeing that the old man of the manure collected the old king of the coachman took his golden tree leaves and looked at it endlessly, he was immediately anxious, and reached out to grab it, but he couldn't get it, his face collapsed, and he softened with the old king of the coachman, "Don't make trouble!" Hurry up and give it to me! I saw it for others and snatched it on my way back, but how is it good! ”

"You golden tree leaves, sell them!"

Seeing the whole picture of the golden tree leaves, the coachman Lao Wang was silent for a while, stretched out his hand, patted the shoulder of Lao Yang, and asked him about his wishes, "You make a price, I will convert it into silver for you, how about it?" ”

"You want to buy this?"

The words of the coachman Lao Wang made Lao Yang who collected the dung slightly stunned, twisted his brows and glanced at him, seeing that he was not joking with himself, but really wanted the golden tree leaves, he pursed the corners of his lips, and reluctantly agreed to his request, "Anyway, I also got the benefits of an accident, let's wear a pair of pants and pee live mud to have a big friendship, you ...... Just wait and see! ”

"It's rare that you can live under the hands of that dominatrix, and you can still save the money to come out, brother, how can I pit you! Fifty taels of silver! I'll just go to the silver shop and give my mother-in-law jewelry! ”

This piece of golden tree leaves is not an ordinary object, and the sharp-eyed coachman Lao Wang naturally can't mention this kind of thing with Lao Yang, a brother who grew up with his own children...... There is something that may lose your head, "If you think it is less, I will owe you first, and I will compensate you when the monthly silver is issued next month!" ”

"! This thing is worth so much silver! Thirty taels! Treat me as a brother, don't talk about these boring things! ”

Listening to the coachman Lao Wang said, to give himself fifty taels of silver, buy this piece of gold tree leaves, collect dung Lao Yang didn't want to think about it, so he refused, he and the coachman Wang, and not three days and two days of friendship, who to pit, can you pit his brother who grew up together, "If you are tight, don't give it to me first, anyway, you are a big living person, the temple is down, you monk can't run!" ”

Lao Yang of the dung collection talked about this, and the coachman Lao Wang refused to resign, it would not be a matter, nodded and agreed, and took out thirty taels of silver from his belt, and stuffed it into the hand of the old Yang who collected the dung, "Give!" Take it! In the future, brother, I will fly again, and I will not be able to forget you for a while! ”

"It's useless to leave this with me! ! Hungry horses, beware of your lazy lazy thing! ”

Put the silver into the placket, after loading the last shovel of horse manure, collect the dung Lao Yang was not polite to the coachman Lao Wang spit a mouthful, then pulled on the donkey's chew, turned the head of the car, and went on the road, he wanted to send the cart and horse manure back as soon as possible, and then go into the city to continue to collect manure, this year's business is good, and there are many people who set the bottom fertilizer in his hands, not more to collect, next year's spring, a certain is not enough, "I'm leaving!" Come back in three days! Sensei sent it! ”

Seeing Lao Yang out of the alley, the smile on the face of the coachman Lao Wang slowly disappeared, and was replaced by full of solemnity.

Sister-in-law Jiang discussed the matter of buying a carriage with someone, and when she got out of the door of someone's shop, she saw the coachman Lao Wang standing there in a daze, and she was annoyed, and walked towards him quickly with a frown, intending to teach him a few words of laziness, pinch him a handful of waist, and let him "have a long memory".

"Nier, something is wrong."

If it was ordinary, the coachman Lao Wang was pinched by the waist, and he was about to wail and ask his daughter-in-law Jiang for a few words to spare his life, but this time, it was completely different, "Let's go back and talk!" ”

Sister-in-law Jiang knew the coachman Lao Wang, who had been married to her for more than ten years, and knew that he was by no means a person who made a fuss.

In her impression, there was only one time when the coachman Lao Wang showed such an expression to her, and after that, a few days later, the old general "accidentally fell off his horse" and was seriously injured.

Back in the courtyard, the coachman Lao Wang first looked around, and saw that the mother-in-law next to him was busy, and did not notice their abnormality, so he swallowed his saliva lightly, and worked hard towards the east chamber where the old general and his wife lived, signaling her to wait for him there first, and he went to put down the cart that was carrying horse manure just now, and went to look for her.

Sister-in-law Jiang nodded lightly, opened her mouth silently, promised him a "good" word, turned around, went straight into the east chamber, and went straight to the room where the old general and his wife lived.

After the coachman Lao Wang put down the cart, he didn't care about changing his clothes, so he walked into the east compartment quickly.

After meeting the old general and his wife, he took out the golden tree leaf that had just been exchanged for the dung Lao Yang from his belt, and handed it to the second elder, "Old general, old lady, you are well-informed, let's see if this golden tree leaf is not five years ago, when His Majesty first ascended the throne, he sent someone to build it to decorate the palace of the Queen Mother, but it was hijacked by gangsters on the road." ”

Hearing what the coachman Lao Wang said, the old general's eyes immediately widened, and he hurriedly took the golden tree leaves he handed over, and observed them carefully.

When Emperor Longqing first ascended the throne, he spent 40,000 taels of gold and sent people to create a batch of gold tree leaves, which were intended to be used to decorate the palace he built for his mother and concubine, Concubine Du Kang, with a total of 99,999 pieces.

At that time, Emperor Longqing was furious and ordered the Shenji Battalion to search for all the numbers, which lasted three years, and almost searched the place where the convoy was robbed, and all the mountains and forests around him, but he could not find the slightest clue related to it.

Later, Concubine Du Kang suddenly became critically ill, and Emperor Longqing was not in the mood to look for this batch of golden leaves, so he recalled the Shenji Camp and asked them to perform a sword dance according to what Fang Shi said, and pray for Concubine Du Kang...... Later, Concubine Du Kang was seriously ill and died in front of Emperor Longqing, and this batch of lost golden tree leaves seemed to fade out of Emperor Longqing's field of vision with her death, and no one was sent to search for it.

And now, one of the leaves of this batch of golden trees actually appeared in this town that didn't even have a name, or did it flow out of the camp in the south of the Yangtze River...... That's it...... Some of them are not so simple!

"It's from those golden leaves."

After the old general carefully studied the leaves of the golden tree, he nodded solemnly, agreeing with the guess of the coachman Lao Wang, "The word filial piety is engraved on the petiole, which is the title of the Queen Mother!" (To be continued)
