Chapter 319: Return to the county seat

Sakura Bao took advantage of the fact that the master was standing alone on the bow of the boat looking at the distant mountains, and leaned over to him and asked, "Master, who is that person?" ”

Zhou Wuchang glanced at the little apprentice and said, "Children don't always be so curious. ”

Seeing that the master was perfunctory, Ying Bao was a little anxious, and pulled his sleeve, "Master, tell me quickly, and I will tell you the dream I had last night." ”

Zhou Wuchang was helpless, so he had to say: "That person's father and I have known each other for a long time, so he came over to say hello, you don't have to ask who he is, anyway, we won't meet again in the future." ”

Sakura Bao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and she was not ready to tell her master what happened in her dream, so she turned around and went back to the cabin.

The merchant ship arrived at a large wharf the next day, and the elder brother said that this was the wharf of Chengzhou County.

Chengzhou County, that is, the fief of the rebel county king.

Sakura Po deliberately ran up the deck to look at the pier.

The marina is bustling and no different from other state capitals.

In fact, every city in the Great Qian Dynasty was relatively wealthy, and as long as the people in the city were not lazy or gambling, they could basically live a prosperous life.

The poorest are only those peasants who cannot leave the land, their ancestors have been digging in the fields for generations, and the more honest they are, the more miserable their lives are.

The boatman lifted the sampan to shore and began unloading.

This ship is a merchant ship, and it is carrying goods from the Northland.

The goods were tied up in a circle with straw ropes, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

But the porters at the wharf were struggling to move, and it seemed that the weight was not light.

Two words suddenly appeared in Sakurabo's mind, steel.

Isn't it going to be iron?

She peeked at the master and was relieved to see that his eyes were not on the goods.

It doesn't matter if he is an iron stone or not, as long as the master doesn't collude with King Cheng.

Although the imperial court is corrupt, there are still strong soldiers outside, and it is not a problem to destroy a feudal king and rebel.

Let's not talk about it, let's just say that the general surnamed Zhong in the northwest is very powerful in battle.

It's a pity that General Zhong was tortured to death by the emperor.

In order to prevent the Western Army from becoming dominant, Daqian kept giving orders to the Western Army, asking them to fight Western Xia today and Fang'er to fight Fangla.

The war in Liao was still over, and the Jurchens went south to invade Daqian, so they asked the Zhong family army to save Taiyuan.

After repeated tosses, the son of the commander-in-chief of the Western Army died on the battlefield, and Lao Tzu was also exhausted to death.

In the end, the morale of the Western Army was low, and a good army was like a plate of scattered sand.

Many soldiers fled, and many officers disappeared with them.

But the Western Army is still the most war-ready army in this dynasty, and as long as it is sorted out a little, it is a good sword.

Ying Bao dreamed in his dream that in his previous life, it was Xiao Mo who took over the Western Army, and finally became the most powerful general in this dynasty.

However, his power was jealous of his uncle's family, and even his queen aunt wanted to get rid of him.

And the methods of those people, in the face of absolute strength, are of no use at all.

At this time, it seems that Xiao Mo has not yet become the commander of the Western Army, and the vassal king should still be preparing for a future rebellion.

After the cargo ship finished unloading the cargo, it loaded some more cargo one after another.

These shippers are all doing business in the north and south, and several people walk together and buy goods together, just for safety.

Nowadays banditry is rampant, especially on the roads that merchants must pass, there are simply too many of them.

Those robbers robbed the road today, and tomorrow they will go home to farm, and even the government can't catch them, because they are local villagers.

Sakura knows this best.

"Anchor! Let's sail! ”

With the shouts of the ship's boss, the boatman lifted anchor and propped the boat away from the dock.

The merchants gathered together and talked about their own purchases and sales.

Sakura was bored, so she had to continue to go back to the cabin.

A few days later, the merchant ship finally arrived at the dock of Qinchuan County, and Sakura followed the master to disembark.

Because he had a cage with him, he called an ox cart on the dock to enter the city.

After entering the city, she did not prepare to return to the medical office, but jumped out of the ox cart and rushed to her shop.

As soon as I entered the store, I saw that Erni and Brother Lobby were there.

"Oops! Sakuraho, you're back! Erni was stunned for a moment, and immediately ran over and hugged Yingbao: "You have grown so tall!" It's coming to catch up with me. ”

Ying Bao stretched out her hand to compare with Sister Erni, but it was still far away. "Sister Erni, you have also grown taller, look at what I bring to you."

Her things were all placed on the ox cart, and they had already been moved down by the second senior brother and sent to the shop.

Brother Lobby hurriedly went over to help, and tried his best to invite Master Zhou to come in for a cup of tea.

Zhou Wuchang waved his hand and politely refused.

Zhang Min wanted to stay, but was glared back by the senior brother.

Sending off the ox cart, Jiang Chengcai came in to talk to his little cousin.

"Why have you been around for so long?" Jiang Cheng brought a glass of honey water to his little cousin, "Jiang Jie also went out to study with his master last year, saying that he would come back in two years. ”

Ying Bao took a sip of the honey tea and asked, "Wu County Ling is also gone?" ”

"Hmm." Jiang Cheng nodded, furrowed his brows and said, "As soon as Da Ling left here, the county lieutenant found our family, and he found fault with all kinds of things." ”

"County lieutenant?" Sakura had forgotten what the county lieutenant was called.

Jiang Cheng: "The county lieutenant said that he and Chen Guanglu were good friends, and also said that Chen Guanglu was ruined by the family framed by our family, so let us be at the mercy of silver." ”

"And then?" Sakura frowned and asked, "Did you give him the silver?" ”

Jiang Cheng: "No, then Chen Guanglu was already harming people, and the evidence is conclusive, even if he goes to court again, I am not afraid of him." ”

A while ago, he told his father-in-law about this, and the shopkeeper Qiu told him not to worry, he had everything in him.

Erni said again: "Yingbao, you don't know, that Chen Tiantian and her mother have returned to Qinchuan County again, and they are still taking the child born by her mother." I saw them at the mouth of the alley a few days ago, their faces were veiled, and they were glaring at me when they saw me, cut! Who is afraid of her! ”

Sakura scratched her forehead, feeling tired.

As soon as Wu Daozi left, many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods came out, but fortunately he still had a master.

She thought of the golden knife in her master's hand and the ring ruler in her hand, and her heart suddenly calmed down.

What are you afraid of, you are also a person with a master.

If Chen Guanglu's family really dared to do anything, they would use the master's golden knife to finish him off.

Last year, Master killed a school official, but no one dared to bare his teeth.

Just thinking about it, I saw my aunt coming out of the backyard, and when she saw Sakura Bao, she sighed, and hurriedly pulled her up and down: "It's really the same every year, Sakura Bao is eight years old this year, right?" It's all grown so tall. ”

Sakura was embarrassed by her aunt's eyes, and hurriedly went to open the box and get the gift outside.

Jingzhou's flower cloth, one per person, and took out some beaded silver hairpins to give to my aunt and Erni, of course, the sister-in-law in the lobby also has.

I also bought a tiger head hat with jade pieces embedded in the little nephew of the lobby brother's family, as well as a set of little tiger clothes and shoes.

As for Hongxiao and Zhang Yuying, Yingbao also brought them gifts.

"Mother!" A small round head probed in from outside the shop, and said timidly to Jiang Yunniang: "Is the second brother at home?" ”

Ying Bao glanced at it, it was Zhang Xiaolang, Zhang Yuying's half-brother.
