Chapter 180: Zhongfu
Taining north of Shaowu, east of Jiangle, south of Mingxi, once produced two champions 2, more than 50 jinshi, there are "two champions across the river, a door four jinshi, one lane nine people" said, the past dynasties "the princes of the court have been endless". [Full text reading. In the first year of Song Yuanyou (1086 AD), Zhao Xu of Song Zhezong gave the homonym "Taining" of "Taimin" in "Guotai Min'an" as the name of the county.
Even when the war was raging and the battle between the Qing Dynasty and the former Ming Dynasty was at its fiercest, Taining was also a place of peace and peace, and it was unbelievable that the three hundred military vehicles escorted would disappear here.
When Sun Yanling's military vehicle to find military supplies was missing, Bai Yansong was struggling to find a way to get out, and he still remembered that when it was dark that day, the transport vehicle stopped at a post station to rest.
The idle people of the post station have already been cleared out, ready for them, except for the soldiers in the post station of the post chief, there is no one else because of the more people and horses transported, the post station can not live, so, except for the generals and some physically injured people live in the post station, everyone else is camped in the open space outside the post station, and those carriages and chariots full of goods are parked in the open space in front of the post station, and the three teams of soldiers are responsible for changing shifts and patrols. Nothing can go wrong with the break.
In addition to the people transferred from Mingxi, the people who escorted the military supplies at this time were still nearly 1,000, because they had all run for a day, people were sleepy and tired, and some of them were almost in good health, so they sat on the ground, and only gasping was left, and everyone only ate some dry food at noon that day, so they could eat hot dishes and warm soup at the post station in the evening.
Bai Yansong and Qi Dongping were the others, because they were worried about Sun Yanling's injury, no one spoke, just silently and tastelessly pulled something into their mouths.
But Taibitu and his cronies, who have big fish and meat, are eating happily.
"Boiled meat slices, this smell must be boiled meat slices, mother, I never thought that boiled meat slices could be so fragrant at home, mother, these officials will not treat themselves badly when they are, they will really eat it!"
"I don't think there are all the officials, that is, at the tables of Lord Tai and them, you see that the tables of Bai Shenling and others are not the same as us? I heard that the added food was the money that Lord Tai paid out of his own pocket, and we are also greedy. ”
"Silver, don't you have it? Lao Tzu took this errand with his life, and he also brought a lot of silver, but those dishes, which ones can be prepared with silver? What's more, I don't know how to get that silver, if I don't know it, it's our money. ”
"Don't complain, after another day's walk, you will arrive in the city of Taining, are you afraid that there will be no good wine and good meat to eat? Bear with me. ”
Having said that, smelling the smell of meat, the sound of sucking saliva gradually increased, and some people couldn't help but move their minds, thinking about whether to say a few words in front of the person in front of Tai Bitu, to exchange a bowl of broth for a friendship, or to give some silver for the post officer to arrange, after all, the emperor is not a hungry soldier, although their task has not been completed, a large number of rewards have not yet been obtained, but they are all children of the Eight Banners, everyone has some generous silver in hand, this has money in hand, the more I feel that the stomach is very small, Even the hot soup and hot rice that I felt satisfied with before were disgusted.
"Enough!" Listening to everyone's discussions, Qi Dong, who was sitting with the soldiers, reprimanded the soldiers around him, "You are so unproductive, you haven't eaten meat?" Now the things haven't been delivered, although it is our territory, but how did the dragon and tiger come about, have you forgotten? At this time, I don't want to hurry up to eat and drink enough and transport the military supplies, only thinking about those few pieces of meat, don't you feel ashamed? ”
His voice was very loud, and it was clear that he was talking about his own soldiers, and he said it to Tai Bitu and others who were sitting in the house eating meat and drinking soup.
Tai Bitu listened to a shadow, and listened to the people around him learn seven or eight points, and his face changed and changed.
After a while, all the heads under his hands came out, and Yin Yang said angrily: "Brother Qi, don't look like this, it's a good meal, what do you say?" How much the brothers on Longhu Mountain have suffered, of course, if you can make up for it, you don't say that you pay for the brothers to add some food, but talk about these gossips, which makes everyone unhappy. If you want to eat that coarse vegetable and light rice, we won't stop you, but you can't be jealous of Lord Tai giving us meat? If you are willing to give, take five hundred taels of silver out, and I will ask them to prepare for your brothers here, why bother to say something here, it seems that Lord Tai is good to his brothers and wrong! ”
"No, no, Lord Qi is talking about us." Everyone interrupted, Qi Dongping gritted his teeth, but knew that he couldn't say any more, so he snorted and sat down.
Just wait. He thought that sooner or later, one day they would all rush over, and they would clean up all those fangs and claws!
Later, Tai Bitu spoke, and the post officer didn't know what to think, or each battalion was given a large pot of broth, although there were not a few pieces of meat, the soup was extremely thick, except for Qi Dongping and Bai Yansong, most people drank a small bowl.
In this way, even though there was still discussion, the voice was lowered, even if someone spoke, it was also talking in a low voice, and after eating, everyone did not move around casually, and continued to sit there and chat, until one of Tai Bitu's subordinates came out to speak: "Eight people in a room, when they heard Chen Hao and their names, they hurried back to the room to rest, and if they didn't have a row, they camped on the spot and lived in a tent according to the rules along the way......"
As he spoke, the man glanced at Bai Yansong and said, "Bai Shen Ling, Qi Shen Ling, there are not many rooms, and now you can only be the same as the soldiers, so you must live together with everyone." ”
Bai Yansong and the others didn't want to argue about this little thing, so they went upstairs after eating, looking at the small room, there were eight people to live, how could this live? I could only take the futon and lie on the ground.
"It's really too much, Bai Shenling and Senior Brother are both fourth-grade officials, and they actually let you and us squeeze together, while those of them are just a seventh- or eighth-grade petty official, but they can, four or even two people live in one room, it's really unfair!" One of Qi Dongping's junior disciples, Ma Shida said indignantly.
"What is this? I'm afraid that the military supplies have arrived, and the credit is theirs, and we are all responsible for any faults! Since Dutong stayed in Mingxi due to illness, all of our people have been squeezed in the past two days, and those logistics people are used to seeing the wind and the rudder, and seeing the high and low, it is naturally not good for us. They are determined to be all over, and they can't catch up for a while. The first junior brother Qi Wenbin said disapprovingly.
Everyone complained, and finally Qi Dongping said, haven't we suffered more than this before, what's this? As long as the military supplies are transported to our mission and completed, what should he do?
After going to bed, Bai Yansong tossed and turned, tossing and turning until midnight without saying a word.
In the middle of the night, there was a slight movement in the room.
What was that? Bai Yansong sat up and looked around, at first he didn't find anything he thought was a mouse or something like that was about to lie down, but the power went out again, the sound was wrong, Bai Yansong said everything, quietly got up and looked around, suddenly his eyes moved to the side of the door latch little by little, someone was secretly opening their door, and he also smelled the smell of incense, and quickly held his breath.
Someone wants to rob money and sex? No, no, all the people living here today are all equal names, who has such a big courage, not to mention, they are heavily guarded, there should be no thieves coming in, and besides, this thief did not alarm the guards outside at all, how strange? Could it be that the head of the post station colluded with the outside? But where did they get the guts, the last wave of bandits, so bold, are there still such bold people now?
Bai Yansong hurriedly kicked Qi Dongping and the others awake with his foot, pointed outside, and signaled them not to make a sound.
He should have shouted loudly to get everyone else up, but Bai Yansong felt that the guards patrolling outside had not found these thieves, which was a little strange, so he decided to take a look.
"Go to the water, go to the water," suddenly heard someone exclaim loudly, "Come and fight the fire, ......" followed, and heard the sound of chaotic footsteps outside, Bai Yansong They were in the house, and they heard someone probing their brains and asking what was going on, and some people rushed out nervously, and there was the timid one, and the voice of the question was trembling...... Listen to the commotion in the inn.
Then, Tai Bitu's angry voice shouted: "The fire that should be extinguished, the fire that should be lit, what is the chaos becoming?" Go quickly, and tell all the men of the battalion to do their duty, and not to run around, lest they steal the military supplies by giving them an opportunity......"
It was only a moment's work, and the people in the entire post station were turned on their backs.
At this time, Bai Yansong had already stood behind the door, and when the door opened, he slashed down with a sword, however, before his sword was slashed, he felt that he had lost his strength, thinking about it, unconsciously, the smell of the incense still inhaled a few points, he lay on the ground, and then heard a few "plop" falling to the ground, obviously Qi Dongping and others also fell to the ground.
Although he was weak and couldn't speak, Bai Yansong's mind still had a trace of residual clarity, and he heard someone shouting: "The fire has been extinguished, everyone go back to rest, it was caused by the stove forgetting to bury the fire, it's okay, it's okay, everyone go back and rest......"
Then, I heard Tai Bitu stomp his feet again and again and said, "Why is the son so careless, he actually forgot to bury the fire...... Hey, who are you? Molsa, Mo ...... Hmm, uh-huh......"
It's like someone gags Tabitu's mouth......
Then, everything fell silent, and Bai Yansong completely fainted.
