Chapter 44: The Wind Rises
Birthday present.
Uncle Nine's birthday banquet.
At the moment, there are two main things.
Meng Fan has always felt that not to look at the high esteem of Shi Bode, in fact, he also has his own temperament, such as:
Good face.
In the original.
Coffee is unsweetened and drunk head-on.
The egg tart is sweetened with polysaccharides, and it is so sweet that you can eat it in your throat.
Therefore, at this birthday banquet, the younger generations led by Meng Fan were very attentive, and after Uncle Nine left, they got together to discuss.
Ah Wei said that he would go to the provincial capital office, but this was too high-profile and the road was inconvenient, so Meng Fan suggested that it would be better to go to the county seat.
Although Renjia Town is the center of ten miles and eight townships, in terms of prosperity, it is not much worse than the county seat, but it lacks some heritage.
Like those masters who are good at major cuisines, they are all stationed in the county restaurant.
"Ride a horse, and you'll be there in half an hour."
Qiusheng estimated it and said seriously.
Next to him, Wen Cai had a bitter face: "I'm not very good at riding, I borrowed the fast horse of Master Ren's house last time, and I went all the way back to Yizhuang, and the whole person was about to fall apart......"
"It is estimated that I will start from Yizhuang at noon, and I will be able to rush to the restaurant in the evening to drink leftover soup and lick the plate."
Looking at Wencai, who was always dragging his feet, Ah Wei half-jokingly said: "It's okay, I'll pay for you to buy a separate table, if you don't come, no one will move quickly." ”
"Really?" Literary talent leaps forward.
"It's impossible to think about it with your head, Master's birthday, apprentice is late?"
Looking at the two bickering, Meng Fan sighed helplessly in his heart, and said, "There are still a few days, what should I do, Ah Wei." ”
"Yes, senior brother."
Since he saw Meng Fan's ability and got a lot of good treasures, Ah Wei was completely impressed, and when he heard his senior brother speak, he immediately stopped playing treasure and waited silently for instructions.
"Is the yamen okay today? Let's go on patrol. ”
"I'll go over here."
Ah Wei nodded and waved his hand at Qiusheng:
"Goodbye, Senior Brother Qiusheng."
After the words fell, he turned and left.
In this way, there was only one idler left in the courtyard, and Meng Fan had nothing to say, so he asked him if he was tired, the sun was very poisonous in the afternoon, so it was better to take a nap.
Wen Cai went happily.
Seeing his junior brother like this, Qiusheng sighed, and decided to meditate and practice, and if he could cultivate one more wisp, he would go to the town to show his aunt the store in the evening.
And Meng Fan, who presided over the "overall situation", lay on the rattan chair and watched the "Book of Changes" in his hand.
Since he learned the method of opening the two plates of people and the earth, and was able to control the five elements of gossip, "The Secret Book of Maoshan Governing Evil" is not a book he reads all day long.
Mr. Yang, a gambler who played dice with him before, was not wrong when he said that young people do need to read more, especially for a person who can travel through the heavens.
The courtyard was silent.
In the room, Wen Cai scratched his sweaty cheeks, turned over, and let out a hearty snoring sound.
Sunset.
Qiusheng temporarily ended his cultivation and prepared to go to the rouge gouache shop in the town, Meng Fan closed his eyes and pondered, sorting out the path he had learned from the Book of Changes, which was very likely to create new skills.
Bang!
Suddenly, the hidden courtyard door was slammed open.
"Senior brother, something is wrong."
Ah Wei, who was dressed in an earthy yellow police uniform, rushed in, babbling, people who didn't know saw it, and thought that Uncle Nine had been captured by monsters, and he urgently needed Meng Fan to save him.
In fact, the master was worshipping the statue of the patriarch in the hall and communicating with him silently.
"What's going on?"
Facing Meng Fan, who was still calm, Ah Wei calmed down a little and replied:
"There is a commissioner from the provincial capital, who knows that we have dozens of guns in Renjia Town, and we have to collect them, and we have to integrate the security team and send them to the battlefield to fight."
Ah Wei's military record?
That's not!
"What did Master Ren say, what about the county seat?"
The Ren family is powerful, and it is a big family that has been rooted here for a hundred years, and if you make a casual noise, you can pull out at least a thousand young people.
If you move the relationship and spend some money, you will definitely be able to get hundreds of spears, and with the earthen guns and earthen cannons made in the country workshops, you really don't have to be afraid of being threatened.
"The county magistrate is his own person, he told the security team to keep quiet, hide all the guns, and usually patrol with short sticks and steel forks, and at most a few shotguns."
"Everyone is a shotgun for a gun, what kind of commissioner is here, no, what commissioner? Bah! It's just a bandit, he has nothing to do and runs over, causing us to exchange foreign guns for birds! ”
Ah Wei's face was full of indignation, obviously resisting to be cannon fodder, and Meng Fan could also understand, what did he do if his own people beat his own people, or for the selfish interests of some people?
"Let the master arrange and hide all the guns, what can the commissioner, a foreigner, turn the sky over?"
"My cousin-in-law said the same thing, so please do Yizhuang a favor, the gun room in the yamen is not safe." Ah Wei rubbed his hands, and the smile on his face became more and more enthusiastic.
"Send it over."
This is what Lord Meng Fan can still do.
Besides, Uncle Nine also knew what those separatist forces were, and it was impossible to watch the guns used to defend the villagers flow out.
"Hey, they're already outside."
Ah Wei rushed out quickly and said hello.
Immediately afterwards, the two carts were carried in by a group of young men with red eyes and could smell the smell of onions when they got closer, and several of them were quite familiar, they were members of the escort team that escorted Ren Tingting to the next county not long ago.
At the same time, there is also a very smelly smell of salted fish.
Obviously, the two bulging and tightly wrapped things on the wooden cart were not corpses, but guns mixed with stinky salted fish......
"You came up with this idea?"
Facing Meng Fan's gaze, Ah Wei smiled even more happily, as if he was recognized.
"Hehe, senior brother, please entrust this box cannon to you, it's too flamboyant, and it's easy to be targeted by that bullshit commissioner."
"Hmm."
Meng Fan nodded, beckoned Qiusheng and Wencai to dig a pit in the morgue, wrapped dozens of disguised guns in oiled paper, and buried them in boxes.
As for himself, he actually has an old-fashioned Browning pistol, but because of his identity, he is not worried about being targeted.
After all, Meng Fan rarely took it out.
And the commissioner is not a bandit, so he shouldn't dare to tear his face, not to mention that even if he is, as long as he dares to mess around, he can walk out of Renjia Town in a sober sense, it is all a great creation.
"I hope there won't be any stubble making trouble recently, there are no guns this time."
After going to the morgue for a check-up, Ah Wei sighed while waving his baton, and carried out poisoned milk.
"Senior brother, I'll go first, I have to make an errand with my cousin-in-law, and buy some cold dishes and cooked food at night to eat."
"A few of you stay and continue to cry, howl for a while before leaving, remember not to show your stuff, don't come to the yamen to do things in the past two days, stay at home."
Before leaving, Ah Wei told his subordinates to play the role of filial sons and grandsons.
At this time, Meng Fan also spoke: "If there is no official business recently, you also rarely come to Yizhuang, I will explain to my uncle." ”
"You kid came too often, that guy must have noticed something."
