202 Volume 2 Emerges Chapter 23 On the Road to the Army
Shen Wansan and his entourage have been on the road for three days, and they have not yet left the boundary of Nanjing.
If there are regulations for the conscription of the army, you have to take the road if you have to, and you are not allowed to take a boat unless you have to.
In three days, more than a dozen people had fallen ill, all of them old people, who were too old to withstand the turmoil, but the orders were like a mountain, and they were named and could only go on the road.
And their daughters are a little better, they can go to the settlement place in advance to report, and then take care of everything in advance and wait for good news.
The most unfortunate are the men, who must be condemned by the criminal department to be convicted with the head of the family, as long as they are at least 14 years old, they have to wear a flail on the road.
The escorted officials are particularly vicious, they are the old officials of the Criminal Department, they have been suffering for a year, and only when they encounter such a good errand can they issue a vote.
But those who are good will not be able to do this errand, but will be instructed by the prisoner.
The status of the rich is usually not high, they have money but no power, which is the greatest sorrow, and in the end they still can't keep their hard-earned wealth.
And the rich people with status can't even move the criminal department and the emperor Lao'er, they are all powerful families, either relatives of the emperor and the country, or big people such as the Eight Great Pillars.
For Shen Wansan, the official errand is better, the main reason is that he is too famous, and the above strictly orders him not to have an accident, and to make him a model.
Because of the money, the flail he wore was small, and the lock was not very dead, but he also suffered a lot of sins, although the hemorrhoids were cured, but the buttocks were itchy, and he couldn't free his hands.
Only when he rests at night is the most relaxed time, he can untie the shackles and liven himself, but the rich are strictly forbidden to visit each other, and they cannot talk.
The night before, Qian Feng, the owner of the Suzhou Qian Ji cloth shop, had hemorrhoids, he was an old manemorrhoid, always going back and forth, if he was not tired, he would be fine, but as soon as he was on fire or tired, he would commit it.
Hemorrhoids are not a big problem, but once they are committed, they are really fatal, the pain makes him restless, he can only sleep on his stomach, and what is even more guilty is to go to the toilet, and he can't get out of the pit for a quarter of an hour.
However, people with hemorrhoids have constipation, so it will get worse and worse, otherwise they will not commit it.
If Qianlong eats sweet potatoes to moisten his intestines and laxative, hemorrhoids will naturally be cured, which is more powerful than taking medicine.
But this old man is an old man, this kind of person's money is all saved from between his teeth, and he is reluctant to spend money to bribe officials, so the two old officials are very unkind to see him.
He tossed him desperately along the way, and the flail he brought to him was also medium-sized, but it still depends on his age, otherwise it is guaranteed to be a large or heavy flail.
He couldn't even take a step, how to hurry, shouting all the way, forget it when he died, and his heart was already dead when his family property was confiscated.
He couldn't understand why he didn't steal or rob, although he was a little stingy, but he never harmed anyone, and he still suffered this crime when he was old.
One of the two officials is named Hao Guangrong, who is of medium stature, but has a big belly, and the other is called Yang Guangjun, who is also older.
Hao Guangrong had a fierce face and a fierce face, often whipping prisoners and beating them to death.
But he seems to be ferocious, but he is extremely measured, this is the experience of the old official.
He seems clumsy, but his martial arts are really not low, so the prisoners suffer from flesh wounds, just rub some external medicine.
This is him in Liwei, and he was beaten, and the prisoners saw him like a mouse and a cat, and they did not dare to command him at will, and they commanded him arrogantly.
Yang Kuanjun is smiling all day long, but a smiling tiger, he seems to be kind, but the city is very deep, as the saying goes, ghosts talk nonsense, see people talk about people.
But this man is really calculating, so he always tries to squeeze oil and water out of the prisoners, so he came up with many tricks to toss the prisoners.
The officials seem to be very majestic when escorting the prisoners, but they are very hard in ordinary times, and they can't support their families at all, so they have to find ways to squeeze oil and water out of the prisoners in order to survive.
And the fat difference of escorting the rich to fill the army may not be encountered a few times in a lifetime, so Hao Guangrong and Yang Guangjun must firmly grasp this opportunity to get rich.
It is normal to escort dead people on the way, as long as the few big people named above do not have an accident.
But if someone dies in the end, such as illness and accident, it is not directly related to him, and there will be no major event.
But that Qian Lao didn't have a good life, even if he couldn't figure it out, the reality was like this, and God would never be kind to him.
Therefore, although he recited the Buddha thousands of times in his heart, he did not see Guanyin Bodhisattva, who rescued the suffering, to rescue him.
At this time, what made him regret the green intestine was why he didn't ask the old woman to put more incense in front of Guanyin on the first day of the New Year, maybe he was not sincere enough.
Unlike Shen Wansan, who asked someone to go to jail for him, he was actually in prison, and because he refused to do anything because of his stinginess, the jailer was very disgusted with him, and always wanted to make him happy.
There was once a hemorrhoid, and the old woman was very anxious when she found out, if she didn't take care of the jailer, the old man might die in prison, what was the use of having more property?
Perhaps she understood that the old man had a bad temper, so she instructed the jailer not to breathe through her mouth, otherwise she would be scolded to death by the old man.
Therefore, on that occasion, the old woman came to visit the prisoner, gave him medicine, and served him for several days, but the jailer gave enough face, and luck was on the old man's side, and he was cured.
But this time, although the old woman also wants to move to Guizhou, she is a family member after all, and she is treated differently, and the family can go to Guizhou in advance to settle down and arrange affairs.
Of course, there were also officials watching them along the way to prevent them from trying to find a way to rob their husbands and sons, and then go up the mountain and fall into the grass for the crown, so the emperor had no place to cry.
The old woman was afraid that the old man would be angry, so the number of jailers she had beaten last time was kept secret from her family, although the old man did not forget to check the account books while in prison.
But she was a chess player, bought off the master who kept the account, made a fake account, and fooled the matter.
As soon as the raid was over, she hurriedly rushed the account into the loss of the raider, so that she could hide from the world and finally settle the old man.
But this matter Hao Guangrong and Yang Guangjun are the door clear, but they didn't expose it in front of him.
But because of his illness, this old man played a trick and shouted that he wanted to die or live.
Hao Guangrong, slapped him, and said to him: "You old man, you are so boring, if you want to treat you well, it is easy, as long as this number." ”
He stretched out a hand and shook it, Qian Lao'er opened his eyes wide and said: "Five taels of silver, I can't earn it in a day, and now I have just been raided, and my business is gone, sitting and eating empty, where do you ask me to raise this silver for you?"
Hao Guangrong was so angry that he wanted to whip him again, this old man is really a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, five taels of silver, and he can figure out that he will get at least five hundred taels.
Yang Guangjun persuaded on the side: "Brother Qian, let's say a word of confidant, the money can't be brought into the coffin, as long as you have a safe journey and settle down in Guizhou, the business can start again, why don't you think about it, as long as you don't get angry, your health is naturally good." ”
Qian Lao'er shook his head and said: "I love to admit death, I'm old, this stinky temper can't be changed, don't persuade me." Sheep are all heads, in fact, you are more powerful, I have seen through this way. ”
Yang Guangjun's old face turned red, he didn't expect this old man to be so upright, and he actually pointed out the crux of the problem.
Even though he was old, he was a little annoyed and angry, so he opened his mouth and sneered: "But you didn't pay for the jailers last time, what kind of tough guy are you pretending to be? Otherwise, I'm afraid that you will die of illness in prison, and you won't be able to get on the road." ”
Hao Guangrong saw that his face was torn, so he said: "Now I only need a quarter of the price, and you are still pretending to be deaf and dumb, it seems that you are a cheap embryo, and you have to let the master smoke it every day to ......be honest."
...... Xiao Hei said: "I heard a joke from the mythical beasts, tens of thousands of years ago, the Dragon King of the West Sea invited Mo Li Immortal Lord to dig up treasures, and as a result, he dug up half of the corpse, is that treasure hunting mouse your relative?"
Xiao Jinxi said embarrassedly: "That's our ancestor, he was suffering from a cold at the time, and as a result, he regarded corpse qi as a treasure." ”
Xiao Hei said: "It seems that the half broken sword in that person's hand lured your ancestor, this person's scheming is really terrifying, and he is still laying out when he is dead." ”
Xiao Jinxi said: "How do you know?"
Xiao Hei said disdainfully: "It was Yu Xuanji's sister who said it, according to her, Yu Xuanji's imperial throne was given to her by a man." ”
Xiao Jinxi pouted and said: "A woman's mouth is the most unreliable, and she says everything, but she did become the empress." ”
Xiao Jinxi suddenly said, "Could it be that something happened to the Ancient Heavenly Court?"
Xiao Hei shook his head and said, "Don't look at me, my memories are fragmented, and many memories are blank, and they seem to have been erased." ”
It thought for a moment and said, "Now that we have signed a contract, as my subordinate, you have to submit a letter of submission?"
The little brocade orangutan didn't seem to understand this, and it asked, "What is a name vote?"
Xiao Hei said: "Do you think anyone can sign a contract with me? If you want to be loyal to me, you have to kill one person first." ”
Xiao Jinxi shouted: "But I have never killed anyone since I was a child, and my Taoism is so low, thank God that others don't kill me." ”
The little black traitor smiled: "You can hunt for treasures, how can others be willing to kill you." Remember, if you show up, other immortals will come and catch you, and then lead them to me, and I will take care of him. ”
Xiao Jinxi was obviously frightened by Xu Guifei, but still had palpitations, and it shouted: "If I meet the old woman, I won't be able to escape." ”
Xiao Hei thought for a moment, spit out a space ring, it erased the divine consciousness of the immortals on it, and then carefully searched the contents inside, but found nothing good.
Then it blew into its little claws, only to see that it had more than a dozen rings on its paws.
It generously took off one and said to the little brocade fox: "This is just a meeting gift, there are immortal crystals in it, some cultivation resources, and there is also a stealth talisman, I have your spell, if you meet a master who can't escape, you can run for your life." ”
Xiao Jinxi was moved to tears, now it can show off the next time it sees its friends, it feels that it is really fortunate to meet Xiao Hei.
