Chapter 20 Pingtong Town
Although Qiu Shun was puzzled, he still had a lot of expectations when he heard what Min Feihan said.
But in fact, it didn't take long for Qiu Shun to darken his face after accompanying Min Feihan out.
The so-called 'serious' thing turned out to be shopping!
followed Min Feihan to the street, the stalls on the left and right, Min Feihan looked interesting, and it was indispensable to walk in and take a look.
When you meet some stalls on the street, you will go up to take a look.
"Boss, what's in this box?" Min Feihan looked at a small shop, the shelves were full of bottles and cans, and there were many delicate small boxes!
The shopkeeper in the store saw that they were all military masters, and they didn't dare to slack off.
"Uncle, this is all gouache rouge, look at this is a good product!" As he spoke, the shopkeeper also returned a few small boxes there, and opened them wide for Min Feihan to see.
The first time he saw the rouge gouache in ancient times, Min Feihan was naturally very interested in burying his head in it, and from time to time he also discussed with the shopkeeper.
But this made Qiu Shun, who was following her, and the two soldiers who followed the guards full of embarrassment!
When people in the past saw these sergeants blocking the rouge shop, they also pointed and pointed, which made Qiu Shun and others so eager to find a crack to drill.
"Master Jun, if you buy these things back, you will definitely be able to please the wife at home and enhance the relationship between husband and wife!" The shopkeeper smiled with the intention of peddling goods.
Qiu Shun couldn't help it at this time, and stepped forward and dragged Min Feihan: "I said Hanzhi, our group of men are sergeants, and the pestle is not like talking in this rouge gouache shop!" ”
"Oh?" Min Feihan then remembered that he was now in men's clothes, "Ahem, I'm just looking, looking, let's go!" ”
As a woman, Min Feihan saw the things that women dressed up in this era for the first time, and she was naturally full of curiosity.
But now the situation is not right, I can only endure the curiosity and desire to explore, and reluctantly leave the gouache shop.
Next, the silk village, the ready-to-wear shop, the jewelry pavilion, the pawnshop, the tea shop, the most important thing that made Qiu Shun almost couldn't help but run away was that Min Feihan even went into the embroidery workshop.
"I'm talking about the Captain! Didn't we say it was 'down to business', but now? Qiu Shunqiang endured embarrassment and anger, and complained to Min Scarlet.
Looking at Qiu Shun's appearance, Min Feihan was slightly disappointed: "You have followed me for so long, haven't you noticed something wrong?" ”
When Min Feihan said this, Qiu Shun paused, and then looked around, but he still didn't understand it, and he didn't see what was wrong.
Turning his head, Qiu Shun immediately put away the impatience in his heart: "What do you mean by Hanzhi, I don't see what!" ”
Seeing that Qiu Shun still didn't understand, Min Feihan didn't mean to explain here.
"Okay, it's almost time to come out today, you let a few of them gather in the hall in the evening, I have something to tell you!" After Min Feihan finished explaining, he jumped forward with happy steps.
Looking at this virtuous Min Scarlet Han, Qiu Shun felt very temperless in his heart.
"Do you need to let Zhao Hui come back?" Suddenly thinking of this, Qiu Shun hurriedly asked.
"No, let him keep him busy!" Min Feihan replied from afar.
Today, Min Feihan took Qiu Shun around the town for half a day, and soon Ma Qianyuan, Teng Di and Chen Qigang knew.
So without waiting for dinner, several people gathered in the hall of the small courtyard and waited for Min Feihan.
As soon as the sun set, Min Feihan arrived.
Looking at the people who were already sitting in the hall, Min Feihan did not delay, and after walking to the top and sitting down, he spoke: "It's been half a month since we came." ”
Everyone was silent, waiting for Min Feihan's next words.
"The situation in Pingtong Town, you must be familiar with it these days, but you really haven't found anything abnormal about the situation here?"
Min Feihan's words made Ma Qianyuan and the others immediately think deeply.
Even Qiu Shun, who went out with him for a long time today, once again recalled what he had seen and heard in the town these days from beginning to end.
But after a cup of tea, everyone still looked at Min Feihan in a panic, and they all looked up at Min Feihan.
"It's too quiet, it's too peaceful, it's not normal!" Min Feihan didn't sell it, and immediately said the answer.
But after hearing this, Fuji Di suddenly grinned: "It's what you want to do if you make a little mess every day?" ”
"I didn't mean that." Min Feihan drank tea, raised his head and glanced at everyone: "But don't you think there are some missing people here?" Also, those people on the street who come and go, don't you feel less naturally angry, a bit like a play, rigid and sluggish! ”
Seeing that Chen Qigang and Qiu Shun were still puzzled, Min Feihan frowned deeply: "There is less of a group of scoundrels, and the people who come and go on the street are even more like doing things according to the rules to make a living, can't you really see it?" ”
After Min Feihan said this, Ma Qianyuan and Chen Qigang were slightly stunned, and then after the two glanced at each other, Ma Qianyuan said: "Speaking of which, since we came, it seems that we have never seen anything happen that bullies and dominates the market." ”
"So, that's not normal." Putting down the tea bowl, Min Feihan continued: "This Xinjiang wasteland, although it is a small town, has an official government and a military health department. But don't you think it's a bit too much to be safe here?
Even in the bustling places, there are some dark corners and people who mingle in those pickled places, but what about here? It's on the edge, but it doesn't even have a casino.
Do you think the county here can really govern a border town to such a point? If that's the case, wouldn't it be too condescending? ”
Listening to Min Feihan's words, Qiu Shun fell into deep thought, but this time he quickly raised his head: "Indeed, I have been here for so long, not to mention that there is nothing on the street, not even a dispute in the neighborhood, let alone a lawsuit." ”
As Min Feihan pointed out the suspicions, everyone present gradually seemed to be cleared of the fog in front of them, and slowly noticed some abnormalities in Pingtong Town in their minds.
While the people in the room were pondering one after another, Cui Weichang walked in from outside the door.
As soon as he entered the door and saw that several military attaches were there, Chief Cui Wei was also a little stunned, but when he thought of business, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "I have seen Lord Duweiguan, Ladies and gentlemen, a batch of grain and grass has just arrived, and the county has already sent someone to count and receive it." ”
"Receiving?" Min Feihan was a little puzzled by this word and asked, "Shouldn't it be counted and put into the book and released immediately?" ”
"This ......"
Looking at Cui Weichang's hesitation, Min Feihan did not ask, but waved his hand to indicate that he knew, and let him leave.
As soon as Cui Weichang left, Chen Qigang turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Of course not!" Min Fei said.
"However, if the grain and grass supplied by the army pass through various prefectures, counties and counties on the way, although they will be counted and counted, in order to prevent passing officials from using their authority to intercept and detain them privately, they are not allowed to stop along the way, and they need to be sent directly to the grain and grass camps in the army.
But how could Cui Weichang say the word "receiving" today, didn't he mean that this batch of grain and grass would be parked in Pingtong Town for a short time? But this is not in line with the norm! ”
Today's Min Feihan is no longer the person who first entered the camp, thinking about waiting for retirement, and he has been familiar with the rules of the army and the process of affairs in the past few months, so Cui Weichang's words made Min Feihan immediately aware of the problems inside.
"But the military grain and grass have arrived in various places, and the soldiers who escort the grain and grass also need to stay and rest!" Li Nazi sat on the side and interjected.
"Yes, but if the grain and grass are escorted, they can only pass through the state and camp in the wilderness. But it is not allowed to stay overnight in any small town!
This is what Xiyu must know to escort grain and grass! is also the reason why the soldiers who escort the grain and grass are paid more than the ordinary soldiers! ”
As soon as Min Feihan said this, everyone suddenly remembered that this was indeed the case.
"Then what to do now, if something happens to this batch of grain and grass, we will also have something to do with guarding the grain road!" Qiu Shun understood that he was a little worried.
"Don't worry too much, maybe there's something in it, but it won't make a big deal!" Chen Qigang took the first step to replace Min Feihan and said.
Min Feihan saw that Chen Qigang could be so calm, but he felt that this person was indeed useful.
Yes, Chen Qigang's words also gave Min Feihan a wake-up call, although he would not make a big fuss. But this time, Xiahou Yan transferred himself here, obviously not only to guard the grain road.
And the mountain bandits that suddenly appeared outside the town are probably also a little involved.
"Chen Qigang and Fuji Zhen, after the middle of the night tonight, you two will go to the place where the grain and grass stay to investigate, remember to be careful and not be noticed!" Min Feihan made a decisive decision.
After telling what to do, Min Feihan invited a few people to have dinner together, and then the discussion was dismissed.
After nightfall, Chen Qigang and Teng Di changed their clothes and sneaked out of the side of the small courtyard.
After a little discussion, the two went all the way to the place where they had inquired about the storage of grain.
Approaching the place where the grain was stored, Chen Qigang and Teng Zhen really didn't expect it.
Several teams of night guards patrolled the perimeter of the grain yard with torches.
But at this time, in the small courtyard, it was not a gloomy night, but a bright light.
Since this is the left side of the county government, it is not usually necessary for the people from the Seventh Patrol Station to send people to come over to inspect, so Chen Qigang and the others really don't know what to do with the several large courtyards in this vicinity!
"It really made Hanzhi guess, it seems that this Pingtong Town is really a little unusual!" Fuji Di tried his best to lower his voice and muttered to Chen Qigang beside him.
His eyes were firmly fixed on the officials coming and going outside the courtyard gate, and Chen Qigang kept thinking about how to sneak in and take a look.
didn't see Chen Qigang respond to him, Teng Zhen tilted his head slightly and glanced at Chen Qigang a few times, knowing what this non-talkative person was thinking.
Don't look at the rattan di, who likes to exchange a few words with Min Feihan from time to time, and always stabs his head when he finds an opportunity, but when it comes to brains, he is no worse than Chen Qigang, who is capable of both civil and military affairs.
"Do you want to know how to get in?" Under the mask of the rattan black scarf, the corners of the mouth were slightly hooked.
Chen Qigang glanced at the rattan flute at this time: "No, I'm guessing what the situation is in the courtyard!" ”
“……”
Deliberately, this cargo is definitely deliberate.
Fuji Zhen glanced at Chen Qigang angrily: "You go and lure people away, I'll take the opportunity to sneak in and take a look!" ”
Seeing that Chen Qigang didn't pay attention to himself, Teng Zhen was a little angry: "Then what do you want?" It's not always possible to do it here! ”
