Jianghu people?

Chu Hang held the letter in his hand in one hand and the iron mark in the other, and his thoughts also corresponded to the direction of the Jianghu sect here in his heart.

The other party really wants to find it, in fact, he should try to contact Zou Jie, the governor of the capital, maybe he can't be contacted, so he can say it through my mouth?

In fact, Jianghu people are also a group that Chu Hang needs to understand, especially in this place, he has also done some homework before, and he also knows the complexities.

To tell the truth, Chu Hang didn't think about how to deal with the people in the rivers and lakes, but if the details were true, he had to pay attention to them.

And when he got this note, Chu Hang had a feeling in his heart that the content on the note might be very likely to be true, which naturally had no evidence, just a special intuition in his heart.

There may be intricacies behind this matter, even if it is confirmed, it cannot be dealt with immediately, and this matter cannot be completely handled by the Xiaoxiao Luling County Ya, and it is not impatient.

Chu Hang had already put away the letter and iron label, as if he had never received this letter from the rivers and lakes, and continued to deal with official business.

It was already evening at this moment, and soon a servant came to deliver the meal, one holding a tray, and one holding an umbrella for him, or rather, an umbrella for the dishes on the tray.

"My lord, it's time to eat."

"Oh, it's been this hour, thank you."

Chu Hang looked up at the two officials who walked into the house, although they were carrying umbrellas, their clothes were a little wet with rain.

Chu Hang put aside the official documents and other things on the table, and laid out the meals on the tray with the officials, including meat, vegetables and soup, which was also hearty.

"My lord, this rain began to fall in the afternoon, and it has been continuous, and tomorrow's big gathering must be muddy and very inconvenient, why don't you go?"

The official suggested, and Chu Hang, who picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of meat, shook his head again and again.

"Then how to do it, go, you have to go, the information learned on this large set is indispensable!"

"But this rain may not stop tomorrow!"

The other official also said the same, but Chu Hang's smile did not change.

"Don't get in the way, it is estimated that it will stop on the third watch, and prepare the carriage and horses normally."

After Chu Hang finished speaking, he put the meat in his mouth and chewed it and tasted it, from Lingdong to here, he was used to both physical and mental work, and when people were busy, their body consumption was great, and everything they ate was more fragrant.

Late at night, in the general shop of the officer's room, one of the officials was awakened by urine to go to the toilet, and when he opened the door, the wind and rain poured in, causing a colleague in the room to scold.

The official hurriedly walked against the eaves, looking at the sky and couldn't help but think that the big gathering in the south of the city after dawn was uncomfortable.

Because it was raining, the officials looked around and didn't go to the thatched house, so they urinated directly on the corner of the eaves to the outside.

As he peed, the rain gradually decreased, and the official stretched out a hand to the outside, and the rain had stopped.

"Knock, knock~" "Three watches, safe and sound~~~"

The sound of beating the watch came from afar, which also made the official feel a little surprised, and he couldn't help but think of what the county lord said before nightfall.

The real three more rain stopped? It must be a coincidence, right?

The servant shuddered his tools, reached out to catch some of the rain that was still dripping from the cornice, rubbed his hands, and wiped the wall behind him before going back to the house.

——

Luling County has the habit of rushing to the big market on the first and fifteenth day of the new year, and on this day, there will be many people in and outside the city and in various villages, and there will be many people outside the southern city that is slightly empty on weekdays.

Selling goods, selling goods, buying goods, buying goods, anyway, it is extremely lively.

Before dawn, Chu Hang got up early and dressed neatly, naturally he would not wear official clothes today, and when he arrived at the backyard of the county office, the carriages and horses had been prepared.

However, although Chu Hang was only bright when he left the county seat from the south gate of the city, it was already very lively when he arrived at the city gate, and it was bustling and crowded outside the city gate.

The area outside the city for the market is already crowded, and some people may have gone out in the middle of the night to prepare.

"Stop, I'll go down" "Adult, the road is not easy to walk"

"It's better than a car."

Chu Hang got out of the car, and his feet touched the ground with a soft muddy feeling, but this may have an impact on ordinary scribes and officials, and for him he is a pediatrician, and he has never seen anything in Lingdong.

A young official avoided the road with one foot deep and one foot shallow, not wanting to stain his newly collared boots, while Chu Hang strode towards the crowd over there, and the old official next to him followed closely, and glared back at the novice, who could only hurry up.

The bazaar was full of people and stalls, and in addition to the chatter, bargaining, and occasional shouting, there was also the sound of some livestock.

Many of the people are carrying a big basket, some of the goods they bought and some of the goods they are ready to sell, and many times Chu Hang needs to turn sideways through some positions.

There was a large crowd in front of a large stall, which had a large umbrella cover with wooden poles and large oiled paper, and two rows of goods were placed on a small wooden table.

"There are bruising medicinal wine, there are also new rouge gouaches, there are some spices here, they are all in demand, everyone take a look, the money is not enough, you can exchange leather goods and mountain goods, if someone has enough medicinal materials for the year, you are welcome to sell it~~~"

A strong man in front of the stall shouted hard, and there were people next to him to maintain order, and stared at those who looked at the goods, some people looked at it and seemed to want to put it directly in their pockets, but they were often reached out to take it back, and they didn't scold or rush, but those who felt embarrassed would leave.

Chu Hang squeezed into the crowd with the servants, looking at this stall, these things can indeed be regarded as dazzling in Luling County, and there is a feeling of being displayed at the counter in a rich place.

"How much does this hairpin cost?"

"Tong Su is not bullied, fifty dollars!"

Someone next to him immediately said, "It's so expensive?" ”

"It's not expensive, it's a good product!"

Chu Hang nodded slightly, this pearl hairpin is exquisitely carved and finely carved, not like a local product, but more like a skilled ancient craftsman's workshop.

Chu Hang opened a wooden lid of rouge gouache again, and suddenly a fragrance wafted out, he sniffed, and couldn't help but look at a few vendors.

"It's not easy to get this thing here, isn't it?"

"Alas, this uncle is a knowledgeable person! Even the thirteenth floor of Jingshi Chengtianfu has girls who use this kind of rouge gouache! ”

The people who rushed to the market on the side suddenly had a commotion.

"Boast about you!" "That's it, what about returning the goods to the Beijing master, the mountain medicinal materials in my hand are still given by the gods!"

"Hey, hey, let's do business honestly, Tong Suo is not bullied, it's really good! Also, you said that there are fairy goods, take them out and take a look, if the goods are good, I will accept you at a high price, and send you a pack of rouge gouache back to please your mother-in-law! ”

"Hahaha" "Yes, take it out and take a look"

"I'm afraid he doesn't have a mother-in-law!" "Hahaha"

"Just watch!"

The vendors and spectators are in a commotion, but there are more people who see and fewer people who buy, because most of them are very expensive, but many people who have seen it are gone, and they will be reluctant to come back to take a look, because indeed, the goods are good!

At the back of the stall, an emaciated man with a short beard and a round hat looked at the stall and coughed from time to time.

Not long after Chu Hang appeared, and before he even arrived at the stall here, the man noticed him.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem"

After coughing violently a few times, the man was smooth, and couldn't help but look at Chu Hang over there again with restraint, seemingly casually glancing at the old man in civilian clothes who was following Chu Hang's side closely.

Obviously, this person is not an ordinary person from the reactions of the people around him to his own knowledge and conversation, but he is also very harmonious with the people around him, and can even have a hot chat.

"Childe, I received some good goods again!"

Someone approached the man and spread out the linen cloth in his hand, which was wrapped in some air-dried medicinal herbs, and the fragrance of the herbs themselves could still be smelled in this noisy place.

"Well, well done, well done!"

The man was smooth, but the rest of his eyes kept looking at Chu Hang, even though he had already left the stall to go elsewhere.

The crowd of people made it impossible for the two officials to keep up with Chu Hang's pace, and they would also be squeezed away.

A pickpocket armed with a knife secretly approached Chu Hang, and under the cover of the crowd, as long as he breathed, he could cut through the cuffs of some fat sheep and other places where money might be hidden.

Chu Hang is the fat sheep targeted by the pickpocket, this time he saw people crowding, the timing was good, the pickpocket's knife turned to the front of the index finger, squeezed it and swiped it towards Chu Hang's waist.

At this moment, Chu Hang also seemed to feel something, and turned his head to look at his side.

"Whoosh~"

The faint sound of breaking the air sounded, and the pickpocket whispered "oops", the knife in his hand fell to the ground, and he quickly squeezed the crowd and fled with his wrist covered.

Chu Hang was stunned for a moment, and looked up into the distance along the way, behind the lively stall just now, a man was coughing violently with a handkerchief covering his mouth and nose, as if he wasn't looking at it at all.

But Chu Hang just had a feeling in his heart that he was the one who just made the move!

"Ahem, ahem, ahem."

The emaciated man in the fur hat kept coughing, and Chu Hang had already squeezed through the crowd to the neighborhood.

"Brother Tai, thank you for your help just now."

"Ahem, cough, cough"

The man looked up at Chu Hang and said with a puzzled expression.

"Ahem, this guest officer, what are you talking about? If you want to see the goods, the front is better, I'm coughing, coughing."

"Oh, maybe I'm wrong."

Chu Hang frowned slightly, and arched his hand to the other party as he spoke.

"In Xia Chuhang, can you know the name of Brother Taizun?"

In such a place, ordinary people may not know the name of the prefectural magistrate when he leaves after his term of office expires, but apparently the person in front of him does.

Chu Hang? The newly arrived Luling County Order, Lingdong Disaster Relief Sima!

His heart shook, but the man didn't have any conspicuous expression on his face, but stopped coughing and returned the salute.

"Don't dare to be respectful, in Xia Jin Changtian, it is to do some business with the family and eat, cough cough cough"

"You businessmen are well-eyed, these goods in your stall are good, there should be a way, do you have time to chat?"

Chu Hang nodded slightly, moved a stone, and sat down in this noisy environment.

The man smiled.

"The guest officer also wants to do this business? It's not easy to do, it's not easy to do."

"It's just talking!"

Chu Hang and the man talked like this, asking some questions that were not sharp, and there were not many "trade secrets" involved, but these questions combined with Chu Hang's identity in the man's heart, he understood the other party's purpose.

Half of the morning passed, and the market gradually came to an end, and Chu Hang had already left, perhaps returning to the county office.

And here in this stall, someone approached the coughing man and said worriedly.

"Childe, is he the Lord Chu who was 'assigned'? We're not going to be in the future."

"Don't be nervous, it's impossible for him to know who we are, the imperial court was Liwei back then, so many years have passed, how can it be traced to death for us, as for the distribution. Hehe, the current emperor is by no means mediocre, how can he cough cough cough, uh cough cough cough"

"Childe, Childe calms down, don't say more!"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem,

The man calmed down, but he was still thinking about Chu Hang, thinking about the question he had just asked.

"Uncle Yu, do you want to live a proper life again?"

"If you don't have to be a last resort, who doesn't want to be an upright person"

At this moment, Chu Hang, who had just returned to the county office, was also thinking about the things in the market, and inevitably thought of the man who was coughing violently.

Obviously, this person is not an ordinary person, maybe his martial arts skills are not low, but Chu Hang can also feel that this person has no ill will towards him, although he can't see the other party's surprise when he hears his name.

But this kind of businessman with a way should be well-informed, and not responding is actually the biggest problem!

"Jin Changtian?"

If Yi Shuyuan was here, he would definitely understand at this moment that the man who seemed to be sick was actually the son of the Sky Whale Gang who pushed the martial arts conference in order to escape the investigation of the imperial court, Pei Changtian!
