Chapter 533: Jingzhou Trade Road
Wang Lingzhen's body was sent back to the capital by Chu Xia, and he was already impatient to see the reaction over there.
The body was sent to the capital, and it was directly sent to Zhuang Xuewen, who had just come out of the palace, and he was stopped by a carriage on Suzaku Street.
Zhuang Xuewen got in the car and took a look at the box, then got out of the car and called the Zhuang waiter who was hiding in the dark.
On the Vermilion Bird Street in the capital, which was full of pedestrians in winter, Zhuang Shi looked at the box in the carriage, Chu Xia was afraid that others would not recognize the person in the box, so he deliberately asked Shi Zang to put Wang Lingzhen's head on the top floor.
Zhuang Shi stared at the box with his eyes wide open, and Wang Lingzhen, who was sprinkled with lime, showed a trace of darkness in his eyes.
"Who did it?" She asked coldly.
This is Dahao Country, and it is impossible for the people of the Zhuang family to go sideways, but even so, the person who killed her Zhuang family will have to pay for the life of the family.
The dealer does not need to be reasonable, only talks about fists and oppression with power.
Zhuang Xuewen said with a smile: "Zhuang Rou sent someone to send it, and he also conveyed a word. ”
"Zhuang Rou." Zhuang Shi looked at it sharply, that waste cousin? Could it be that on the way back to the capital, they were attacked?
She said...... The dealer is a fart. Zhuang Xuewen smiled, things were really as he expected, there were just some small mistakes, she seemed to be brutal.
Zhuang Shi immediately gritted his teeth and creaked, "She, a nameless concubine, dares to be so rude." ”
"The servants of the Zhuang family serve the Zhuang family as their bodies, and they are also subordinates of the Jinlong Palace, as long as they do not make mistakes, even the people of the Zhuang family cannot be killed at will. Before she recognized her ancestors and returned to her ancestors, she dared to kill the slaves of the Zhuang family, and she had to repay them with her life. ”
Zhuang Xuewen smiled indifferently, "Isn't it to repay the extermination?" ”
"......" Zhuang Shi glared at him fiercely, "Even if she doesn't recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, she can't escape the identity of the Zhuang family, and she will be dealt with according to the family rules!" ”
"Can I know what the house rules are?" Zhuang Xuewen asked without thinking much of a deal.
The Zhuang waiter ignored him, jumped out of the car directly, and disappeared into an alley without looking back.
"Banker." Zhuang Xuewen glanced at the person in the box and covered it, "It's really just a fart." ”
Zhuang Rou, who was far away in Hongzhou, knew that sending Wang Lingzhen's body back would definitely make the third lady of the Zhuang family furious, and this was what she wanted.
Wang Lingzhen said that the third lady would personally come to enforce the house rules, and that would be the best.
And Zhuang Rou had already left the boundary of Hongzhou at this time, although he encountered many rebels blocking the way along the way, but as long as Yinba got out of the carriage, he didn't have to kill a bloody road, and the rebels ran away.
Without the slightest bother, she walked out of Hongzhou, climbed over several mountains, and entered neighboring Jingzhou.
Compared with Hongzhou, which is not rich, the terrain is flat and depends on the river, and there are many people who rely on farming to make a living, Jingzhou is a poor and remote country.
After entering Jingzhou, there are only continuous mountain ranges, and there is not even a flat place.
The mountain roads are difficult to walk, the official roads are narrow and dilapidated, and the mountains are either bandits and robbers or tigers and wolves and other wild beasts, and there are not even small villages along the road.
When there was no rebellion in Hongzhou, there were also caravans on this road, and each time dozens or hundreds of people had to be gathered, and the dart guards were called to ask for good guards before they dared to go this way.
Jingzhou is rich in all kinds of fur, animal bones, ginseng and other precious medicinal materials, although the road is dangerous, but every time you run a business, you can be ruthless.
In order to turn over, many people will borrow money to buy some rare but cheap goods in Jingzhou, and pay some money to follow the big caravan to Jingzhou. After shipping, you can make a lot of money by collecting fur medicinal materials from Jingzhou and bringing them out.
Back and forth a few times, a small can buy a house and buy a land, and a big one can make a fortune, so you can always see caravans traveling together in the past.
But now that Hongzhou is in this situation, there will be no caravans in the direction of Hongzhou, but it will be cheaper for caravans from other states.
Zhuang Rou is not afraid of robbers, bandits and wild beasts, and to go to Cangwu Mountain, you have to go this way, and it will be farther and farther by boat.
At this time, a middle-aged man came over on a donkey, hugged his fists and said, "My lord, there is a relatively flat place ahead, can you let everyone rest and eat some water and food." ”
"Okay." Zhuang Rou responded.
She glanced behind the carriage, and there were hundreds of people on the official road behind her, either pushing the cart or carrying baskets, and some people carrying burdens.
There is not a single carriage, but there are three mule carts and donkey carts, Hongzhou has had a bit of a miserable life in the past few months, and it is all fateful to have this little livestock to survive.
These people all came from Hongzhou, and the rebels ran away from the villages and towns, and all of them crowded into several large county towns.
The people of Hongzhou were almost robbed, and after seeing that the rebels had run a lot, they wanted to go to Jingzhou to make a fortune.
But now there is no caravan, and the dart bureau and the guards have no money to invite, let alone cross the dangerous mountains of Jingzhou, and even Hongzhou can't get out.
When they were at a loss and could only wait for the imperial army to beat all the rebels out of Hongzhou, they found Zhuang Rou.
Who doesn't know this colt in Hongzhou!
Looking at her appearance, it seemed that she was going to leave Hongzhou, so someone had the courage to stop her and inquire, only to know that she was going to Jingzhou.
If you are bold, you will ask to bring goods to follow her to Jingzhou, and are willing to be a servant for her on the road, and some of them have been to Jingzhou many times, so they can lead the way and explain the customs of Jingzhou.
When Zhuang Rou heard it, she thought it was okay, anyway, these people also wanted to do business, and they brought the goods back to earn silver, and they also had to pay taxes to the government.
So, she agreed.
This one is ten to ten, ten is to be hundred.
When she walked out of the boundary of Hongzhou, she was already followed by hundreds of people, not only businessmen, but also people who had joined relatives and wanted to avoid war.
Zhuang Rou didn't know where they got their confidence, he could just add a silver bully by himself, and there were few others who could fight, so they all followed.
I'm afraid that she will leave everyone behind, and if she can agree on the way, everyone will dare to rest.
When they reached the flat land in front of them, they quickly laid down their carts and carts, rested on the spot, and ate dry food, all of which were old grain with chaff skins, all of which had been left behind to hide from the robbery of the rebels.
However, everyone racked their brains to bring the goods, as long as they arrived in Anjing County, Jingzhou, they could dispose of the goods and eat and drink.
This is the closest county town from Jingzhou to Hongzhou, losing the trade route from Hongzhou, the goods will inevitably rise, and when will it be if you don't make money at this time.
Jingzhou is located from south to west, and there is no snow all year round, and even in winter, the trees are still lush and green.
They sat on the grass and gathered branches to make a fire, and boiled water to heat dry food.
Zhuang Rou was very idle and was not in a hurry, so he never urged them along the way.
And after boiling hot water, the people will also help her make a pot of tea and bring a hot tub for her to wash.
The richest of all is her, help her make tea, and the tea is taken from her, and there is really nothing to honor her.
Zhuang Rou picked up the teacup and just took a sip, when she suddenly heard an exclamation from the crowd, "Tiger! There are tigers! ”
Everyone was scared half to death, although they didn't see where the tiger was, but they all picked up the sticks, they even let the rebels snatch the kitchen knife, and now they only ask for help from more people and Zhuang Rou.
"Yinba, go hunting." Zhuang Rou said without raising his head.
Yinba sprang out of the car and rushed directly towards the woods where the sound of a tiger could be heard.
Everyone watched in horror at the roar of wild beasts in the woods, and there was no way to tell what was going on except for the sound and the swaying of the branches.
In fear, the woods gradually returned to calm, and Yinba carried a dead tiger out of the woods.
It threw the tiger beside the carriage and grinned at the crowd in a majestic manner, causing them to tremble.
This is a tiger! He was beaten to death.
"You peel off the tiger skin, take the tiger meat and cook it, leave one leg for Yinba, and you can share the rest." Zhuang Rou said casually.
Everyone looked at her in disbelief, tiger meat!
So everyone has meat to eat!
"Thank you, Master Pony!"
"Thank you for the reward!"
I didn't know the taste of meat for a long time, but at this time, there was meat to eat, or tiger meat, which made everyone overjoyed and bowed to Zhuang Rou.
Zhuang Rou waved her hand, "Go cook it quickly, otherwise you won't be able to eat it when it's dark." ”
The people on the side of the official road happily buried pots and cooked, and in the forests on the mountain, there were several pairs of eyes staring at them.
"Big brother, it's a fat sheep. Except for the black-faced bearded man who wore a black-haired robe and beat a tiger, the others were all ordinary people. ”
"But that big man is too strong!"
"Yes, it's ugly."
