Wuhe Dart Bureau Suzhou Branch is in the Xingying County City adjacent to Heqing County, in the days when the darts are still resting in Heqing County, Washington, there have been three letters, asking when Zhang Bashun's dart team can arrive in Xingying City, Zhang Bashun, who originally wanted to wait for all the dart divisions to be injured and recuperated before going on the road, is really afraid that one day the people in the Xingying County City will go crazy and send people to Washington, seeing that all the people on this dart trip are all raised by Washington's good food and drink, fat and strong belly, I don't know how to feel.

It was only a three-day journey from Heqing County to Xingying County, and Zhang Bashun was worried about the injuries of the wounded dart masters on the cart, so he asked the coachmen to pick and choose the smooth road to walk slowly, and the three-day journey was dragged on until the fifth day and more than half a day, before he saw the battlements of Xingying County.

It is the same as Heqing County, Xingying County is the same as a depressed scene, Wei Changpan lifted the curtain and looked out, he could vaguely see some signs of prosperity in the past from the closed shop door on the street, the door panel of the good wood was covered with a thick layer of ash, and the pretense of the sign was also exquisite, and many store signs were inscribed with handwriting, and at a glance they did not know that it was a mediocre hand.

In less than three or five years, Suzhou's vitality is difficult to recover, and this has to be under the condition that the imperial court has reduced taxes for the entire territory of Suzhou for two or three years, Zhang Bashun and Wei Changpan said. Our Emperor Dayao is a male lord who is interested in expanding the territory, recruiting troops and buying horses to ask for silver, where does the silver come from, do you have to count on the three states of Dayao Nanjiang, Su and Hui to pay taxes?

Huizhou and Suzhou have been so shriveled that they can't squeeze out the silver taels, only the wealth of Jiangzhou is better than the first two combined, so in this disaster year, it is not easy to squeeze out two million taels of silver to escort the military expenses into Beijing, these two hundred taels of silver, one hundred taels are originally scheduled to give relief to Huisu two states of silver, this time are used as military expenses, that is, from the mouths of thousands of hungry people, so the reputation of the Great Yao Lie Emperor in Huisu and the two states among the people, has been much worse than before.

"The hospital still thinks that Suzhou will be able to recover its vitality in three or two years, if that person does so. Zhang Bashun stretched his waist and yawned, endured sleepiness and said, "There are no five years, no, ten years, it is difficult for Suzhou to recover as before." ”

Although there is no dart, but the vigil is the iron rule set by Zhang Wuhe, the ancestor of Wu and the dart bureau, no matter which dart head does not dare to easily violate, there are many injuries in this dart, it is not good to teach people to stay up late with crutches and knives, so Zhang Bashun only slept for less than two hours for three consecutive nights before going on the road, and the car was bumpy, and he snored.

"Darthead, there is no need to keep vigil when you go to Xingying City. Gu Shengyang propped himself up with one arm, and Gu Sheng, who was nearby, hurriedly brought a cool grass pillow stuffed with chaff and put it behind him, "These days, you've worked hard." ”

"Lao Gu, this two of us are divided, what dart head hard dart head hard dart head hard work, think that when you and I were still a dart master under the head of the dart, which vigil did you not learn the old hen to peck rice in the middle of the vigil, and then fell asleep, several times was fined by the head of the dart for lunch, and I had to take my money bag to buy some food, now I am old, but I am polite here?"

Zhang Bashun teased Gu Shengyang, who had a broken arm, and recalled the years when both of them were stunned young dart masters.

How long ago was that? Twenty years? Thirty years, the martial arts realm of the two people is a two-story threshold, with the pitiful monthly money of the first-class dart master in the dart bureau of five taels and five dollars of silver, food and accommodation can only be in the dart game, if you occasionally can't get hungry worms in your stomach, go to the restaurant outside the dart bureau to fight tooth sacrifices, then most of the food next month will not see half of the oily meat, and you have to thank God for having a spoonful of spicy food.

The two of them worked in Wuhe Dart Bureau for two years, Zhang Bashun's martial arts realm finally crossed the threshold, he was still young at that time, and it was not difficult to go to the next level in the future. As for Gu Shengyang, although the martial arts realm is still lagging behind, he has been good at doing things outside several times, so he has also opened up his side, making him the first second-class dart master on the first floor of martial arts in the Wuhe Dart Bureau.

Time has passed, Lao Gu's sons have come out to dart, Lao Gu thinks that his son will inherit his father's business and make some famous names in Wuhe Dart Bureau, he is the opposite, he has sent his two sons to the study since he was a child, the reason is simple, the county, the county guard, the history of the assassin, and those officials and men above the temple who he Zhang Bashun can't touch, how many people are not from scholars?

Golden House, Qian Zhongsu, Yan Ruyu, are all in the book, let the reader pick up the difficulty, Zhang Bashun has been the head of the dart for half his life, because of the hardship of less knowledge, there is no basket and half a basket, this hardship can no longer be eaten by children and grandchildren.

The two little rabbit cubs are also angry, the older one has a talent in the body, the younger one is only a dozen years old, and the text written by Mr. Shushu has been praised several times, saying that it is expected to go further than his eldest brother, and the talent is already in the bag.

The eldest son fell for the first time, and now three years have passed, and the days are about to be in these two days, I don't know how much certainty I can have this time, if I win, it is a great joy for the old Zhang family to honor the ancestors.

Zhang Bashun paid attention to the stack of silver tickets in the money bag along the way, thinking about where the money bank was exchanged for cash, and always felt that the more than 3,000 taels of pension silver were also hot through the money bag, for fear that if it was wet with water or sweat on his body, it would become a mess of paper.

"You're welcome. Gu Shengyang's loud scolding pulled him back from this thought, "You don't pee and look at the one in front of you who can't lift your eyelids, and you're embarrassed to laugh at us." ”

The two of them looked at each other, and immediately laughed together, and the sound shook the roof of the car.

"One last thing I want to say to you before I enter the city. "A few hundred steps in front of the gate of Xingying County, the convoy stopped at the side of the avenue, Zhang Bashun called the people in the first four cars to come down, and finally greeted again, "Our private work, if the people above the dart bureau know, it doesn't matter if we can't keep the head of the dart, you all go to the end from the third-class dart master and even the executioner, not to mention, the little money in hand can't be kept, the dead are already dead, and the living ones are alive." ”

Wei Changpan was in the crowd, and a loud and soft sound was issued by him, and he wanted to say something, but the dart masters of Wu and the dart bureau all got into their respective carts with their hands and feet, leaving him alone to stop talking.

"Don't grind, little brother Wei, come up numbly. Zhang Bashun poked his head out of the first big car and greeted him.

When his head also poked out of the big car behind, Wei Changpan finally walked towards the first big car, carefully protecting the ebony box with the handful of ashes left by Zhou Yongan on his chest, and raised his legs into the carriage.

The five-cart Wuhe Dart Bureau escort team entered Xingying City unimpeded, and Xingying County was so depressed that even the soldiers defending the city could not afford to pay their money and food, and the city gate was open during the day to let them enter and exit.

The landscape in Xingying County is also the same as that in Heqing County, and there are still a few families who have benefited from this natural disaster in the depression everywhere, and the glory of the courtyard is still there, and even a little more extravagant.

In addition to these Gaomen compounds and the porridge factories set up in Xingying County, only the pawnshop grain store is doing thriving. The Suzhou Branch of Wuhe Dart Bureau is also one of the few companies in Xingying County that still survives well.

When the group arrived at the Wuhe Dart Bureau, there were only seven or eight old and sick people who were missing arms and legs left here, all of whom were former Wuhe Dart Bureau's dart masters, who retired from old age, or suffered irreparable injuries in the fight with others, and the Dart Bureau also fed and drank these people.

Among the seven or eight people, the only thin middle-aged man dressed as a scribe in a long robe and carrying a pen and writing a book, saw Zhang Bashun and his party coming in, he immediately threw down the pen and ink in his hand three steps and two steps to Zhang Bashun, stretched out two arms, clasped his hands and shook him up and down, and said with a look of ecstasy:

"You are looking forward to it, I am writing the fourth letter to Heqing County at this time, if I don't come, then among these people, I can only ride a horse to Heqing County. ”

"How many people did Zhang Darthead bring?" The middle-aged man dressed as a scribe hurriedly looked behind Zhang Bashun, and saw that several dart masters who were not fully injured and a few people who were very different from what he expected, and suddenly said with a bitter face, "Why are these people here?"

Zhang Bashun told him about the fire with the bandits in Woniu Mountain, and it basically did not change, but the date was advanced by a few days, and the place where the two sides fought was changed to the front of the Woniu Mountain Pass, which was much less laborious and more credible than making up another story, because nine of them were true and one point was false, and Zhang Bashun said it smoothly.

Zhang Bashun, who was originally ready to spend a lot of time, did not think that the middle-aged scribe would believe it without much effort, and then complained to him about the situation of the rampant bandits in Suzhou, Zhang Bashun was not accidental, the original Wu and the dart bureau had a relationship with the mountain, now more than half of them have changed the name, some of the mountains in January can change hands as many as three times, so that his Wu and the dart bureau Suzhou branch is responsible for the black and white road on the snake of the dart bureau clerk miserable, since the first day of the Lunar New Year last year to today, the dead and wounded dart master fingers and toes can not be counted, otherwise it will not be rash to the Jinzhou dart bureau to send people to come for no reason。

Zhang Bashun's dart team, estimated that the luck was really bad, and actually fought with the king of Woniu Mountain, which was the king of the mountain, and lost so many manpower, and the bodyguard goods could still be unhindered, the middle-aged scribe sighed, and the rich man who came here to beg for the bodyguard squeezed his head, just because Wu He Dart Bureau can not make any big difference in the bodyguard in this world, and even half of us can not be guaranteed for other dart games.

I knew that I was going to study, but the middle-aged scribe started to complain and went to the dart game to get a knife.
