The fortieth round entered Beijing
Three days later, Qianye and the others set off on time.
The six doors of the family escorted the prisoners, but the high-headed horses carried the prisoner carts. It's their turn, well, there are prisoner carts, and there are horses. However, it's on foot!!
Qian Ye silently looked at the little short legs of the bean paste bag, and after calculating his own, he silently mourned. Ancient times are not as good as modern times, this relies on two legs, if you want to go to the capital, you have to go to the year of the monkey!
Compared with Qianye's helplessness, Zhao Zhutou and the others were excited. Some of them have never thought of walking out of Lecheng in their lives. Now, what an exciting thing to be able to go to the capital!
The prisoners escorted in the prison car were the ones involved in this case, but they were not the key criminals. And by coincidence, Qian Ye saw the so-called Huang Sanye and his thirteenth aunt who had just entered the door.
The woman has taken on a new look, and in just a few days, she has gone from the charm and nobility of the lonely woman who sold herself to bury her father. It's just that now she has become a prisoner, and she can't help but be lost in her words, and she weeps every day. In the face of their group of fast catchers, tears rippled so pitifully.
Qian Ye's sharp eyes saw that a small official was quietly approaching the prisoner car, and he hurriedly frowned and stopped. This woman seems to have some means, if she really allows her to bewitch someone, maybe she will really run away. Now, she doesn't have the slightest sympathy for her. What kind of place is Shanyin County, she actually went to the street to sell her body to bury her father, and she didn't go to Bao Qi for the nobles in this city. With such thoughts, it is not qualified to say that he is vicious, but if he is calculating, he is also a powerful character among women.
was drunk by Qianye, and the little servant shrank back in fright, and even looked at Qianye with a woman's eyes full of unkindness. Qian Ye didn't care about this, and ordered people to pay close attention to the prisoner car, so he informed Zhao Zhutou and the others of the small incident that happened that day, and asked them to be careful of this woman, so as not to make a mistake and affect the brothers and lose their lives.
That day, if it weren't for the dissatisfaction and longing in the woman's eyes, and the seemingly reluctant, but actually slightly happy expression later, Qian Ye would have really admired the woman's acting skills.
When Zhao Zhutou heard what Qian Ye said, he knew that she had never told lies, so he couldn't help but look at the woman a few more times. When the woman saw that someone was paying attention, she hurriedly sorted out her appearance and looked at this side with a pair of bright watery eyes. couldn't help but shudder, there were many implicated women in the prisoner car, but only this woman was the only one who did not describe the mess and did not change her appearance. If it were not for resignation, there was only one possibility, and the woman waited for the opportunity to move, ready to flee at any time, so that she dressed herself up a little, so as to arouse the sympathy of everyone. Why don't you look at how many people in the prisoner car are actually more beautiful than her, but they are all unkempt, so they don't lose their color.
"Keep an eye on it, especially over there." Zhao Zhutou and everyone admonished him, and then he calmed down. "Ah Ye, this woman, we really can't understand it!" Although he has been married to his wife for several years and has even given birth to two children, he still can't understand her thoughts. "Alas~ this woman!"
The corners of Qianye's mouth twitched slightly, she was just a woman, but this Zhao Zhutou was like a middle-aged woman and man, she was really a little maladapted! "Maybe. Isn't there a saying: A woman's heart is a needle! ”
"Hehe, in the end, it's Ah Ye, this is different. Like us, we don't understand these crepe words. "In the entire county government, most of the officials have never studied, and it is really rare to see someone like Qianye." Ah Ye, how could you think of being a catcher. Look at your literacy, it's better to be famous for the Beijing exam! Zhao Zhutou suggested with a smile.
Qian Ye couldn't help but smile and shook his head, "Do you really think this fame is so easy to test?" "If it's a good test, this Zhang Wen won't be jealous of Liu Ping and kill him to impostor." Besides, I think that's good. You see, we are not tired of catching fast, and others look good. And every month there is a lot of money, but also to wear clothes, and to equip weapons, and to send things during the New Year's holidays, where to find such a good job! ”
It was the first time Zhao Zhutou heard Qian Ye say such a long word, and he was stunned for a moment and smiled. "yes, it's easy." Although this money is not the most, it is fortunate that it is very stable. And Lecheng is not like other places, the security is good, and they are also happy. "I don't know what this capital is like?"
Qian Ye shook his head slightly, "It should be big!" "After all, Great Xia is different from the Celestial Empire, although there is a place called the capital at the same time, but it is about a world apart. Even in the days when I was in Fuso, what I saw was very different from what I remembered. "Anyway, we'll know when we get there."
"yes." Zhao Zhutou smiled, and said with a narrow face: "By the way, there are many good things in this capital." Ah Ye, do you want to buy some interesting gifts for your little lover! ”
"Zhao Zhutou!" Qian Ye pretended to be angry and said: "It's all said, I don't have a little lover!" "I don't know why, why everyone agrees that she secretly has a little lover! Really, where did the gossip come from! It seems that she has long forgotten what happened when she went to the cloth shop owner with her purse.
"Hehe, I know it all." At some point, a few colleagues who were squeezing their eyebrows came next to them, obviously silently paying attention to the conversation between the two. Among their group of people, Qianye has the best appearance, walking on this street, both men and women, young and old, like to see it! If 'he' finds a little lover, everyone is curious! What kind of person can tie up a 'man' like Qianye!
Looking at the big gossip in his eyes, Qianye felt a lot of pressure! obviously told the truth, why did everyone think she was telling a lie! "How long do we have to walk to Beijing?"
Zhao Zhutou thought for a while and replied: "It will take about a month, if it is fast, it will take about half a month." This time we're going to take the waterway, I think it'll be faster. ”
"Huh? Waterway. Qian Ye was stunned and couldn't help but say. If she remembered correctly, there was a port outside Lecheng, so why did they go so far by land!
"Let's not take the sea by sea, but by the Li River."
The Lijiang River Qianye knows that it is equivalent to an important position in the Yangtze River of the Celestial Empire. "I see." Listening to Zhao Zhu's head, she understood. Although Lecheng has a port, it is by sea, and there is still some distance from the Li River. It seems that it is time to go to the front of Baxian Town to transfer boats to the Li River.
There are two counties and cities in the vicinity of Lecheng, Shanyin County and Baxian Town, which is where the tributaries of the Li River pass. In her previous life, she had never been to the Yangtze River, but she didn't expect to be able to see the magnificent waves of the Li River now. "Then Zhao Zhutou has ever been to the Li River?"
"Naturally, there isn't." Zhao Zhutou shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "I basically haven't even gone out of Lecheng!" ”
"That's right." Thinking of the Li River that he was about to see, Qianye's mood couldn't help but be good.
Eight Immortals Town is only half a day's journey, but you need to mobilize ships, and you have to wait for half a day. With Zhou Guang's handwritten letter, the county order of Baxian Town immediately allocated a special passenger ship to a few people.
The shipbuilding industry in Daxia was in a daze, and the merchant ships she took from Fusang that day were built in Daxia, which was not only majestic, but also very strong.
This Baxian Town was indeed a small town in the early years, but then there was a flood one year, and the Li River turned a corner near Baxian Town, leaving a tributary that was neither wide nor narrow. Since then, the town of the Eight Immortals has become lively, and its population has increased rapidly. What used to be a small town has become a large county with a population of nearly 10,000.
The county magistrate of Baxian Town is an old man who is a little old, always smiling, and looks very happy. It's just that Qian Ye is very worried about his body, is it really no problem for him to continue to work at such an old age?
"Don't worry, I'm good!" Seeing the worry on Qian Ye's face, the county order replied.
Qian Ye was broken by humanity, and his face couldn't help but turn red, and he didn't speak for a long time. Later, I heard Zhao Zhutou say that this old county order was a boat runner when he was young, and later he made a meritorious service in Baxian Town, so he was named a county order. In this way, this kind of thing is not uncommon in Great Xia. If it is meritorious to the people's court, a small seven-rank official, the emperor is still not stingy.
