Chapter 234: Wei Laosan's Actions
It was already approaching dusk, and seeing that it was about to be time to close the city gate, the little flag guarding the city squinted his eyes and put his hand on the pergola and looked at the distance for a long time, and secretly cursed.
There are a series of cars on the horizon, a look is to enter the caravan is about to enter the customs, this kind of caravan through the city gate is the most tossing time, although the merchants who are used to the merchants will stuff money to save trouble, but the money can not reach their small flags and soldiers, on the contrary, it still has to be done, a car is afraid that it will not be able to catch up with tonight's dinner.
Judging from the outline of the car, it should be the Lele car, that is, the main means of transportation for the grassland nomads, whether it is the migration of the tribe in spring and autumn, or the transportation of materials and other things, it seems that the first guess was wrong, this caravan is not going to enter the customs, it is clear that it is from the grassland to Daning.
This kind of cart is pulled by oxen and the speed is naturally very slow, but it pulls much more things than donkeys and horses, and there is no need to rest frequently, and a shed can be built on it to shelter from the wind and rain.
It can be seen that these cars are full of goods, leaving deep ruts on the ground, Yu Liang looked back at the eyes of the captain, and reluctantly went up to block the road, usually at this time there will be a shrewd accompanying Han steward to come out to do a few words, everyone you come and I go a few words, and the number of etiquette will symbolically check it to show the government, after all, this year, the country and the people are safe, and it is really not tiring to check it clearly.
The car lined up in a line, stopped on the official road in front of the city gate, but under a closer look, it was not clear which tribe from Duoyan Sanwei, Yu Liang waved his hand, signaling the people in the car to come down, the smell of the wind made him frown, these cars were stacked high with leather, cowhide and sheepskin, and the blood stains on one side were dried and blackened, stained with mud and blood, fortunately, it was already cold at this time, and it would not be full of flies like in summer, otherwise it would be a torturous thing just to look at these goods.
The production of these goods is very rough, but also because these people who are beautiful and guarded even if they belong to the Han people, they will never learn to process that set, and can only be transported to Daning City at a very low price to sell cheaply, and if they come and go to reduce the price ruthlessly, it is easy to break out conflicts, and the men on the grassland are very irritable, as long as there is a public security incident in Daning City, most of them are made by the grassland people who come here to do business, so Yu Liang subconsciously stayed away, and commanded the reluctant pawns to come forward to check, only to know that these people were actually from Taining Wei, not only to do business, but also to give gifts to King Ning's mansion.
Now I can't even collect the benefits.
The inspection is very fast, after all, the cars in front are all fur, only the two cars in the back are gifts to Ning Wangfu, there were such examples before, but this year it seems to have come a lot earlier, and the car that gave the gift is not a Lele car, take a closer look and there are signboards, the guys are all Han.
"The Pu family... Carriage and horses? Yu Liang read it, but his curiosity was quickly suppressed again, and when the convoy passed the city gate, he couldn't wait to beckon his subordinates to move the antlers into the city gate hole, and closed the heavy city gate, but in the sunset afterglow that came through the crack in the door, he always felt something strange.
Well... It should be the big man in the last car, dressed in a shabby leather robe, with a furry hat on his head, and a knife hanging from his bloated waist, tied with a cowhide rope, looking like an ordinary herdsman, but his appearance is clearly Han Chinese.
Although many herdsmen have this kind of oily, shiny, bearded face, this person is a little different, because his face does not have the unhealthy flush that herdsmen are accustomed to under the wind and sun, and this face... How is it a little familiar?
……
Wei Laosan touched the thing he was carrying in his arms, squinted at the streets of Daning, and if he walked further, he would pass through the yamen of Daningwei, how should he think of a way to send this thing to the hands of the government without a trace?
Wei Laosan is a soldier, although he has read books, but whoever sees him will feel that he is more like a soldier than a scholar, the same, from the day he became a soldier, he has completely become a rough man, dare to fight and kill, even if there are still some scholars who are shrewd, it is more of the way of advocating being a soldier to talk with a knife and force to solve problems.
But since he started to mix with the chief officer, this day has changed, the chief officer told him that the courage of the puppet is nothing, a person must be a person with brains, people with strength always die quickly, and even if he can't die, it will be under the care of people with brains, he has already read books, why do you still learn to be a soldier? Is it chilling or not?
Wei Laosan sometimes felt that the chief officer was farting, and sometimes he felt that he was quite right, he thought that if he went to the battlefield and raised a shield to kill the enemy, the ten chief officers could not compare to him, but the things that the chief officer had done over the past few days were indeed something he couldn't even think of.
So these days he listened to the orders of the lord very honestly, and did not add some of his own private goods into it as before, and since he ran out of Daning that night, he has been busy with this matter these days, finding a few herdsmen who know some Mongolian characters, writing down those dictations word by word according to the instructions of the lord, and then copying these fragmentary words into a complete letter himself.
At this time, the benefits of literacy are manifested, he looked at the words on the sheepskin, word by word, to make sure that every word is correct, although he is a little clumsy, but once he decides to do something he is always very serious, and patient enough, in the end, he found the car and horse shop and mangzhong, who had already done the business to Duoyan Sanwei, and mixed a bag of good wine with her arrangement on the convoy bound for Daning.
Everything went well, but entering the city was the hardest, thinking that the chief official might be stared at now and didn't dare to make any moves, his net worth and life were all tied to himself, this matter had to be done beautifully, Wei Laosan couldn't help but be a little nervous, he even drank a few sips of wine, but he didn't have a clue, until he saw a wine shop, he thought of some ideas.
"Brother Wumuqi, you go to the inn to stay overnight, I'll go get some good wine, and I'll look for you later."
Several Tainingwei shepherds smiled when they heard this, and drove the car to say goodbye, Wei Laosan poured a few more sips of wine, but it was not enough to sprinkle some on himself, and the smell of wine was enough to smell every few steps, and then he walked to the shop.
There were some scattered guards at the door of the wine shop, and they couldn't tell whether they were guarding the city or being on duty in the yamen, but it didn't matter if he was fucking, Wei Laosan walked into the shop and filled the wine bags, and after measuring the distance, he planned to hit the soldiers who were talking and laughing and drinking.
Being a soldier is such a virtue, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, he Wei Laosan is now dressed like a broken herdsman, can these soldiers still endure this breath? When the time comes, there will be a fight, and it will be perfect to throw things away and run away.
Wei Laosan is very happy, what's that sentence about? Yes, "close to Zhu Zhechi", it's really fucking a little reasonable, I have stayed with the chief official for so long, and I finally learned the way of doing things for the chief officer, if you want to change it, you can just run to the yamen and throw it away, if you really can't pull out the knife, where will you toss so much.
Unfortunately, this plan was not carried out perfectly, and when he saw the distance and was about to fall headlong at the wine table, several people who were also pretending to be herdsmen came to him.
The leader has a familiar face, and if you look closely, isn't it the little flag that guarded the gate before? The two looked at each other, and their hearts tightened at the same time.
That Xiaoqi thought: "Sure enough, he's right, when he stared at Gu Huai according to the princess's instructions, he had a fight with this guy before, he was obviously a Han at that time, but at this time he was pretending to be a shepherd, there must be a problem!" ”
And Wei Laosan almost scolded: "Lao Tzu just wants to cause trouble, what are you here to make a fuss?" ”
There was a lot of punching and kicking, and then everyone pulled out their knives.
Daning City does not have the prefect's yamen, in this outside the city, the military political and legal departments are under the command of the yamen, those who were soldiers at the beginning were still watching the excitement and thought it was a dog eating a dog, and then saw blood, and Wei Laosan became more and more courageous, several skilled herdsmen could not take him, so I felt a little strange.
When they came up to take care of it, and the officers and soldiers also ran over, Yu Liang realized that he had made a big fuss, and taking care of the princess, he ran away with a few people hatefully, leaving Wei Laosan alone in the same place.
But he was stunned, and suddenly it occurred to him that it would be good to drop the letter like this, so he hurriedly threw the letter to the ground, put away the knife, and fled.
The officers and soldiers who came over to patrol the city originally deliberately slowed down, there are often such things in Daning City, and the herdsmen who are drunk and fighting are even more every day, and it will be a matter if they are scattered, they really want to be arrested, and they are not treated like the people.
Then he saw a letter on the ground.
