Chapter 812: Officers and Soldiers in the Back Mountain
The tanuki looked at the cascading mountains and said, "There are only two mountains left!" ”
After crossing these last two mountains, you will truly enter the land of geese.
The cascading mountains are stunning at a glance, but the things in the mountains are not as beautiful as they look from the outside.
"Why doesn't the government here care about these robbers?" Tanuki asked.
Rue Xiang touched the tanuki's head and said, "There is a certain truth to the existence of many things in this world. ”
"It is rumored that in the early years of the Eight Kings Rebellion, the King of Wild Goose was weak, this secluded place in the Southern Regions was already small and thin, King Xiao had the heart to expand, and the wild goose land was in danger at that time, fortunately the bandits in the mountains helped him, and the three chapters of the law were about to be together, and the officials and bandits were together, so that King Xiao's army was stopped outside."
"After the incident, King Yan acquiesced to the existence of some robbers, and these robbers even have official seals issued by the government!"
"Rumors?" Tanuki asked with a wink.
Rue Xiang said, "Maybe it's true. ”
Everyone in the world knows that there is such a thing, and I don't know how it spread, but the matter is long ago and has not been confirmed, so this matter can only be told by hearsay.
The remaining two mountains are very different.
As he approached the mountain in front of him, the road in front of him was broken.
The road in the mountains was blocked by people with huge boulders, and this was a vertical valley, so there was only a detour.
The road has come a lot.
This road has to be spared.
"Looks like we're going to have to take a detour." Chen Changsheng said.
Rue Xiang glanced at the blocked mountain road in front of her and said, "This mountain is already under the jurisdiction of the Yandi government, and this valley is also artificially blocked. ”
On the side of the mountain, there was a path, among the grassy forests, which seemed to have been trodden by many people, so it became a road.
Take that long road.
All the way forward.
The road ahead will be bumpy.
The horses were also a little unbearable, and they struck halfway through.
After resting for half an hour, eating a lot of forage, and drinking water, he moved again.
The bumpy carriage shook the fish red brocade and was dizzy.
But fortunately, it was spared.
After a long time, I finally saw the pass that was blocked in the distance.
Officers and soldiers were stationed here, but most of them looked particularly lazy, some lying under the trees and napping, some sitting around gambling for money, and few of them cared about the affairs on the road.
"Open open."
"Big, big ......"
"Oops!!"
Some people sighed, and some people were red and excited.
It still looks like a group of officers and soldiers, and it seems to be more gangsters than the robbers.
"There's a carriage coming!"
Finally someone spotted the approaching carriage.
The eyes of the officers and soldiers looked over, and most of them were mixed with horror and incredulity.
"It's ...... coming"
I was probably surprised that there were still people who could walk safely from the seven mountains in front of them.
The leader of the group of officers and soldiers stepped forward, and immediately raised his hand and said, "Dismount, procure!" ”
Chen Changsheng jumped off the horse.
The officers and soldiers circled around the carriage, and when they found that there was nothing unusual, they immediately asked, "What are you doing in the wild goose land?" ”
"Talk about business." Chen Changsheng said.
Rue Xiang also handed out the waist card of the Tang Firm.
The officers and soldiers took it and recognized it at a glance.
"You are from the Tang Firm?"
Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
The officers and soldiers nodded slightly, and then returned the token, but said: "A few of our brothers have such a hard job, and they have come to such a place where the mountains can no longer be mountainous, I heard that your Tang family firm has always been rich, otherwise it would be convenient to do it, and invite a few of our brothers to have a cup of tea?" ”
Chen Changsheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then asked, "Tea money?" ”
The officers and soldiers nodded and smiled: "Yes, it's tea money." ”
Chen Changsheng looked at him and couldn't help laughing: "The official just lost the gambling money, and he has no gambling funds, so he opened this mouth." ”
After hearing this, the officers and soldiers shook their heads and said: "That's not it, this tea money has always been available, and we are just routine." ”
"Business?"
Chen Changsheng asked: "Collecting money for tea is also considered a business matter?" ”
"How not?" The officers and soldiers then said: "Just take the money, don't ask if you have more." ”
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "No money." ”
He didn't want to give it if he had money.
After hearing this, the officers and soldiers frowned and said, "Don't think about it if you don't have money." ”
Chen Changsheng said: "It's a big deal, if Chen goes around the mountain road again, it's the same." ”
The officers and soldiers laughed and said: "If you want to go around, then just go around, this mountain overlapped, if you want to go around, you have to go to the Year of the Monkey." ”
The surrounding roads have long been blocked.
Rue Xiang raised her eyebrows slightly, and said: "What is the difference between the official and the robber collecting the money for tea so blatantly, isn't he afraid of being blamed after being known?" ”
The official looked calm, and said with a smile: "What the girl in the car said is reasonable, but our place never talks about these rules, since I dare to ask for it, then I am not afraid of who you will tell you, the world is like this, if you want to pass, then you have to admit it." ”
Rue Xiang was a little displeased, and said: "The officers and soldiers of this wild goose are not as good as robbers. ”
The man was not annoyed, he just waved his hand and said: "Don't talk nonsense, take out the tea money, if you can't take it out, get out!" ”
Rue Xiang paused for a moment and asked, "How much do you want?" ”
The officers and soldiers thought for a moment and said: "Ordinary caravans only charge a dozen taels of silver, and your Tang Clan firm has money, so it will be a hundred taels." ”
"Is this a starting price?" Chen Changsheng asked.
"So what?"
The officers and men were very arrogant and did not take all this into account.
It seems that this has happened many times.
Rue Xiang's tone was cold, and she said, "With such an action, why do you have the face to face the people of Yandi?" ”
When the officers and soldiers heard this, they all loved: "Sister, if you talk too much, then don't blame me for being rude." ”
Chen Changsheng looked at the officer and soldier, he frowned slightly, and he was also a little uncomfortable.
There was a moment of silence in the carriage.
Rue Xiang suddenly said: "Red brocade, take the silver!" ”
Yu Hongjin paused, she looked at Ruxiang, very surprised.
"Sister Yun......"
Before Yu Hongjin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Rue Xiang.
"Get it for him!"
Ruexiang's words grew colder and colder.
Yu Hongjin couldn't help but tremble.
She listened to Ruexiang's words, took out a hundred taels of silver from the sachet around her waist, and arranged them neatly on the plate.
Chen Changsheng turned around and said, "This silver doesn't have to be spent. ”
Rue Xiang looked into the gentleman's gaze and said, "Let them keep it." ”
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and then he didn't say much anymore.
Yu Hongjin got down from the carriage with the silver.
The officer and soldier looked at the white silver, and their eyes straightened for a while.
"It's really rich......
