Chapter 43 There are many injustices in the world
The handsome young man in white armor is named Guo Sheng, a native of Jialing, Sichuan, and nicknamed Sai Rengui. Chao Gai can't be talked about by everyone, Chao Qiang doesn't know very well. But he witnessed and knew that his martial arts were extraordinary, and he praised it for a while.
At this time, the carriage and baggage behind slowly arrived.
Zhu Fu saw that everyone's eyes were on him, and hurriedly explained a few words in order to avoid misunderstanding. When it came to Li Kui's wife, everyone admired again. Chao Tianwang is really righteous Bo Yuntian, and he is really good to his brothers under him.
The group of displaced people hiding in the Dacang Mountain were envious.
"Oh, two brothers, what are you?" Chen Bao asked with a roll of his eyes.
"Hey, brother doesn't know." Zhu Fu grabbed Chen Bao's arm and sighed: "I am originally from Yishui County, and I barely survived by running a restaurant in the east of the city. This is not because the king of heaven valued me, and specially sent a confidant teacher to invite me to work in the village, so naturally I dragged my family to go to the village. ”
When the displaced people heard this, they were very moved, their fields were gone, and hiding in the mountains was not a long-term solution after all. It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Chao Tianwang Jinpen is no longer a private businessman, and it will definitely take a lot of manpower to do other transactions. It's better to take this opportunity to go over to an errand to settle down.
After some discussion among several leaders, Chen Hu and Chen Bao became the representatives of everyone: "Brother Chao Qiang, I don't know if it is feasible for our group to go to the Heavenly King?" ”
Chao Qiang knows a little about Chao Gai's plans, and he can't ask for this kind of thing: "No problem, now is the time to employ people, welcome everyone to join." ”
Zhu Fu did not snub everyone in the caravan, and first analyzed the pros and cons before proposing: "Brother Guo Sheng, not to mention your hard work in running business, it is also prone to danger and accidents. Instead of earning this hard-earned money, why don't you invest in the bank and get an errand? ”
"This..., why can't I do anything if I can't do anything?" The handsome young Guo Sheng had this idea after experiencing the great changes before, but he was a little worried.
"Hey, brother, don't say frustrating words, you're still afraid that your good martial arts won't be reused?" Zhu Fuyuan's face was full of admiration, and then he said: "Foolish brother can be known and valued by King Chao Tian in a small city, let alone brother?" When the owner gets acquainted with the brothers, he will definitely praise the rare young heroes in the world. ”
Zhu Fu can really speak well with a clever mouth, self-deprecation, praise and other clever words. It makes people feel very happy but doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with it.
"The elder brother praised it falsely, and the younger brother is not famous." Guo Sheng was a little embarrassed.
"Brother, don't be humble, don't say anything else. This batch of mercury is worth a lot of money. How about the brother who needs to be escorted to Yuncheng before he cares? ”
"Okay, then listen to my brother's words, my younger brother has long wanted to visit King Chao." Guo Sheng saw that the housewife's face was full of sincerity, and immediately hugged his fists and agreed. Then he had to take all the members of the caravan to make amends to Chen Hu and the others.
"Brother Chen Hu, Brother Chen Bao, there have been misunderstandings before, please forgive me."
"Fortunately, your subordinates showed mercy and did not hurt anyone's lives."
"Yes, in the future, it will be a family that doesn't know each other."
……
The conflict between the two sides was resolved one after another, and everyone laughed. Chen Hu and Chen Bao invited everyone to the village to rest and recuperate.
Chao Qiang saw that the sun was in the west, so he agreed.
Three groups of people turned into a team and entered the mountain in a mighty way. Encountering a rugged mountain road, a group of people pushed the carriage, shouting slogans and laughing.
Zhu Fu thought about it a lot, and traveling hundreds of miles was not a trivial matter. Privately, Chen Hu was asked how many households and how many people there were. What is the proportion of old and weak women and children, and they are discussing the matter of defection while hurrying on the road.
The ancient woods in the mountain forest are lush with lush vegetation and strange rocks. The roads are complicated, and those who have never been here will definitely get lost, but it is difficult to find people from Chenjia Village.
Everyone shuttled through the mountains and forests, arriving at their destination when the remnant sun was about to set. It is a gourd mouth terrain surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a small mouth and a large interior. Outside is full of towering ancient trees and thorns, bushes, etc.
This is where the common people, who have escaped heavy taxes, settle down. If you go deeper, you can see simple thatched houses sitting, old ladies or women collecting clothes to dry in front of the door, many people wielding hoes to reclaim wasteland, and seeing Chen Hu and others returning, they have greeted each other. Children chased and laughed, and many dogs noticed strangers barking......
What a landscape idyllic scenery!
Although the conditions are difficult, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment.
Chao Qiang, Zhu Fu, Guo Sheng and other outsiders couldn't help but sigh when they saw this. If it takes a little longer, it will form a paradise.
Flocks of fat and sturdy wild goats are driven into the enclosure. Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, there were several unconvinced men in the caravan who were finally honest. It is true that they robbed the sheep and beat people, but they were not authentic.
Chen Hu first vacated a few spare rooms to settle Zhu Fu's wife and children and other family members. He also ordered to kill pigs and sheep, and held a banquet to entertain Chao Qiang, Zhu Fu and others.
At the banquet, the people of Chenjia Village automatically came to find Chao Qiang, and Zhu Fu toasted. said something like thanking them for leading the way, and being able to go to Chao Tianwang for having a good way out. There are also many young descendants who find Guo Sheng and toast that they want to learn martial arts from him, and even the guards under him have apprentices.
made these Sichuan men feel a little guilty and very moved. Naturally, he was full of promises, and unconsciously mingled with these people.
After a wine banquet, the relationship between them went further.
Chao Qiang couldn't stand the inquiries of others, so he revealed his master's plan to reveal one or two. The main thing is to operate a restaurant and open a brick kiln to be self-reliant. made the displaced people who were originally from Chenjia Village have even more expectations for defecting to Chaogai.
Early the next morning, Chao Qiang left the mountain village with his team. Guo Sheng and more than a dozen of his subordinates escorted Mercury to follow. In addition, according to the discussion, the poisonous starling Chen Bao selected thirty strong men to act as guards overnight.
As for Chen Hu, he sat in the mountain village, led the team to pack his bags, and waited for the arrival of the receiving team. It is really more than 200 old and weak women and children in the village who are prone to accidents.
Chao Qiang can't play with children's play, and must ensure the safety of everyone's life. The strong clapper waited to return to Yuncheng to report to the king of Chao. When the time comes, it will not be too late to send the team and the accompanying Langzhong, and it will not be too late to move, which makes the villagers very moved.
Teacher Chao's actions made Guo Sheng full of curiosity about Chao Gai. What kind of character is it, and the people under his hands are such heroes. Thinking that he is a martial artist, he may really be able to use it.
Chao Qiang led the team to leave Dacang Mountain, hurried all the way to the southwest, and stayed at night. After walking for a day, I crossed the border of Qufu and got closer to Jeju.
Passing through a place called Wangjiaji, Chao Qiang asked the team to wait outside. With a dozen strong men pushing the Taiping cart, he entered the market town.
The scale of this set is not large, but although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. Three streets and six cities, the roads extend in all directions. Restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the street, all kinds of shops are everything, and people come and go on the street, and the sound of selling is endless.
It's a small place but it's very lively!
But the prices in this market town are higher than in other places. Guo Sheng, who accompanied him, has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and when he asks the price, he knows that there is a problem. As soon as I inquired, I learned that there was another hidden reason for the high prices of these vendors.
It's just that the price of the royal family's industry in the market town is high, and it is not allowed to let others sell it cheaply. This immediately made Guo Sheng, who was full of justice, have the urge to theorize.
Chao Qiang considered that he was just passing by and comforting with kind words, so he should follow the local customs. Take people to push the cart to buy food, ingredients and other daily necessities at the grain store. Because there were more than 40 people in the team, the consumption exceeded the estimated food and was not enough. There is no shortage of reasons why Chen Hu led a large army to wait for the receiving team.
The procession circled the streets, and several tranquil carts were loaded with grain, vegetables, etc. I even bought a lot of fat chicken, fat duck and other wine and meat. More than a dozen people pushed the vehicle back the same way, watching the pedestrians on the street talking and laughing.
When the team came to an intersection, they only heard shouts and scolding from the roadside restaurant, and then a figure flew out of it and fell to the ground and rolled, a man in his forties, his face covered in blood. Another young woman ran out crying: "Daddy, how are you?" ”
The woman was only eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed plainly, with a slender figure and exquisite appearance. Holding the man on the ground. He who weeps like a tearful man, I see pity.
Chao Qiang and the others stopped abruptly and looked at this sudden scene. Pedestrians on the street were also attracted by the movement here.
"Old Zhangtou, the young master takes a fancy to your daughter, so he is lifting you, don't toast, don't eat and drink." The restaurant scolded and scolded, and then I saw a fat young master in brocade clothes walking out of the restaurant surrounded by a few helpers.
These people wear crooked hats and squint, walk and sway, and they are not good people at first glance!
One of the big men with his arms open shouted at the crowd: "What are you looking at? What's the matter with you? Get out of the way for the young master. ”
"Yo, who is this?" Chao Qiang, Guo Sheng's brows furrowed.
A few people watching the excitement next to them heard them muttering, and then looked at the sacks on the Taiping car. A middle-aged man who looked like a small trader reminded in a low voice: "You are foreign businessmen, right?" Wang Dashao of Wang Jiaji, who dares to provoke all the bad things? And don't meddle in your affairs, lest you get into trouble. ”
Chao Qiang frowned subconsciously, turned his head and glanced at Guo Sheng beside him. Seeing the unhappiness in each other's eyes, how can it be this Wang family again?
"Yes, yes, big brother, what is the father and daughter?"
The middle-aged trader is still very talkative, and he has no intention of hiding it: "The father and daughter's surname is Zhang, and they sing small songs." It is said to have come from the Daimyo Mansion in Beijing. is too beautiful to attract this king Da Shao, and wants to accept him as a concubine, so he uses it if he can't talk about it. ”
Guo Sheng couldn't get used to seeing these people stand up for the people, and his handsome face was a little angry: "Robbing people's daughters, doesn't the government care?" ”
These words immediately made the faces of the surrounding people change, and they sighed in a low voice: "Tube? How? The fourth master of the Wang family was arrested by the envoys of the Yanzhou Mansion. ”
"That is, although Wangjiaji is said to be under the jurisdiction of Jeju, it is also close to Yanzhou. Don't say that you dare to meddle in things, you will be in trouble if you talk too much, where can you afford to provoke it. ”
"Hey, if you're nosy, you have to think about your family."
A few people looked at Chao Qiang as a kind reminder from a merchant from other places.
"How can that be?" Guo Sheng's eyes erupted into flames, and he gritted his teeth. Chao's violent temper has also been triggered, and he is ready to meddle in his own affairs today!
