Chapter 222: Into the City
Chen Kan is lascivious, but this woman is obviously not his cup of tea, and he already has a cute girl with big eyes.
The reason why I chose to take care of this idle matter was simply to see if what Mu Sheng said was true or false.
Mu Sheng wrote to Zhu Di, saying that the policy of changing the land and returning to the river would definitely be implemented in Yunnan, but since Chen Kan stepped into Yunnan, he didn't see what he wanted to see.
Everyone came all the way, Pingyiwei, Qujing Mansion, Xundian Mansion, Kunming County, Guandu County, Chengjiang Mansion...... In many Tufu and Tuxian counties, the real master is still the local Tusi, and the official government of the imperial court is virtually non-existent.
If these places can be explained by the policy of not implementing the policy of land reform and rebasing for the time being, then how can we explain what happened here in Tonghai County?
If Chen Kan didn't guess wrong, the purpose of the woman in front of him was definitely not as simple as simply going to the county government to ask for someone.
Otherwise, why would she bring so many people?
And everyone is armed with weapons.
If Chen Kan hadn't been here today, how would things have developed?
Chen Kan could think with his ass that the woman would definitely lead people to attack the county seat.
Her father is in Jianshui, which can play a role in confusing Mu Sheng.
After the county town was looted, the woman took people to hide back to the mountain, and his father took advantage of this time difference to get out of Xipinghou's Mansion, and after Xipinghou's Mansion got the news, he wanted to send troops to quell the rebellion, and the woman had already taken people and didn't know where to hide.
And after Mu Sheng reported it, what the court knew was just another news of Tusi's rebellion.
But...... Since Chen Kan now has the ability to prevent a farce from happening, why not do it?
Thinking of this, Chen Kan took off the saber at his waist and threw it to Fang Xu, and then walked towards the woman alone.
"My lord, beware!"
Fang Xu was a little stunned, what did Chen Kan mean by throwing the weapon he was carrying to him without saying a word?
When a few people came back to their senses, Chen Kan had already broken away from them.
Seeing this, a trace of bitterness appeared in the eyes of the four of them at the same time, because Chen Kan's gesture was obviously telling them not to follow.
To be honest, Chen Kan is also panicking now, not because of these mountain people, but because the big tiger under the woman's crotch is grinning at him.
I don't know if it's Chen Kan's illusion, he always feels that this tiger looks at him with a trace of disdain in his eyes, and a touch of doubt.
It seems to be wondering why the person in front of him is not afraid of it, and dares to approach it.
Chen Kan swallowed his saliva, his Adam's apple surged, his hands raised, trying to make a harmless appearance, and slowly approached the woman and the tiger.
When the two of them were almost separated by more than ten meters, Chen Kan stopped.
He said in as calm a tone as possible: "Girl, let's talk!" ”
There was some surprise in the woman's eyes, but more curiosity.
It was the first time she had seen a Han official, and she was not afraid of the tiger king under her crotch.
The other Han officials, when they saw the tiger king under their crotch, were already scared to the point of urine.
As soon as Chen Kan said this, the mountain man next to the woman suddenly danced and said a bunch of local words to the woman, and the woman frowned when she heard this.
Seeing that the woman was unmoved, the mountain man suddenly turned his head and glared angrily at Chen Kan.
Chen Kan was a little stunned, he looked at the woman and asked, "Aren't you going to the city to save your brother?" ”
The woman's eyes showed a thoughtful look, then nodded lightly, and asked in a soft and glutinous voice, "What are we talking about?" ”
Chen Kan said: "Is it okay to talk about why your brother was arrested?" ”
"Yes!"
The woman nodded, then patted the tiger's big head, and the tiger raised its head to the sky and let out a long roar, and slowly walked towards Chen Kan.
This move made the leader-like mountain people dance for a while, and the eyes that looked at Chen Kan were surprisingly angry.
On Chen Kan's side, Fang Xu and Zhang San, as well as the hearts of the two hundred households, suddenly rose to their throats.
That's a tiger, if the woman suddenly goes crazy on the other side and lets the tiger attack the adult, wouldn't the adult be a pill?
When the adults are over, will they have any good end when they go back?
It's just that they just wanted to make a move, but they were stopped by Chen Kan with a fierce look.
In just a moment, the woman had already walked in front of Chen Kan on a tiger.
"Roar~"
The tiger roared, and the cold sweat on Chen Kan's forehead flowed out at once.
"This tiger brother, don't you like to brush your teeth very much?"
The smell of the tiger came to his nose, but Chen Kan did not dare to turn around and run away at all, he had no doubt that once he moved, the tiger would definitely tear himself in half, and then swallow it even one piece of bone.
The woman just rode on the back of the tiger and looked at Chen Kan condescendingly.
After a while, she said softly, "You're pretty good-looking!" ”
Chen Kan: "??? ”
Who doesn't know?
But is this the time to talk about this?
Chen Kan forcibly pulled out a smile: "Each other, can you tell me why your brother was arrested by the government?" ”
The woman said: "Yesterday, my brother led people and another group of Hui people on the mountain to rob the canal, and was arrested by your Ming officials with a group of fierce soldiers, and I don't know why." ”
Chen Kan frowned and corrected: "It's not our Da Ming, it's you and our Da Ming...... It's as simple as that? ”
The woman nodded, and did not entangle the you and us in Chen Kan's mouth, but said indignantly: "Yes, we have been using that canal for many years, and it is disgusting that those Hui Hui dared to come and snatch it from us!" ”
Chen Kan: "......"
This woman is not only not highly educated, but her thinking is also very jumpy!
He came to his senses, and he decided not to talk nonsense anymore.
He stretched out his hand and pointed to the group of mountain people blocking the mountain pass and said: "This official will go to the county government with you, if your brother is innocent, I can let the county government release your brother, but you have too many people with you, you have to let them go back first." ”
Hearing this, the woman tilted her head and pondered for a while, and asked, "What if I bring few people and can't beat your Ming officials after I go to the county seat?" ”
Chen Kan: "......"
Looking at the sky speechlessly, Chen Kan now finally understands what it means to be nosy with a mouse, how good is it to directly order to kill the past just now?
He took a deep breath and explained seriously: "No, you are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has a law, whether it is you and your brother, or the group of Hui you said, whoever is at fault, the law of the Ming Dynasty will punish whom." ”
"Alright then!"
The woman thought for a moment and said, "I can let them go back first, but you have to ride the king with me, and if you dare to lie to me, I will let the king eat you." ”
Chen Kanmu nodded: "No problem, but if this matter is your brother's fault, it is impossible for the law of the Ming Dynasty to favor you, understand?" ”
"Good!"
The woman answered, patted the tiger's head, and the tiger squatted down very humanely, just looking at Chen Kan's eyes quite dissatisfied.
"You come up."
The woman's voice was soft and glutinous, making people unable to refuse.
Chen Kan rubbed his hands, a little stunned in his heart, he was used to riding a horse, but riding a tiger ......
The point is that there is no saddle sheath and no side stirrups, do you sit firmly?
But after Chen Kan got on the tiger's back, he realized that he was thinking too much, the tiger's back was much wider than he imagined, and it was more stable to sit on it than to ride on a war horse.
And Chen Kan's action suddenly provoked the mountain people on the side to jump up, and he pointed at Chen Kan is a burst of local words.
Chen Kan couldn't understand it, but he could also tell from the eyes of the mountain people that they were almost about to breathe fire, that this was not a good thing.
The Qincha team led by Fang Xu almost dropped their jaws when they saw that Chen Kan was only a few words and sat on the tiger.
Yushi Chen An hurriedly ran forward and asked Fang Xu, "What are you going to do, my lord?" ”
Fang Xu rolled his eyes: "How do I know?" ”
The ghost knows how that woman could be so easy to fool, and let herself be deceived by her own adults in a few words.
The remote toast woman has really never seen much of the world!
Chen Kan rode steadily on the back of the tiger, smelling the fragrance coming from the woman's body, and almost couldn't hold it, and was about to climb the woman's slender waist.
At a critical time, Chen Kan hurriedly recited silently: "This official studied under the Great Confucian ......"
Well! I am a gentleman!
Firming up his belief, Chen Kan said to the woman: "Let them go back." ”
The woman tilted her head and said something to the leader of the natives, who was not angry, but he had to pick up a long tooth hanging from his chest and put it in his mouth.
His teeth were blown out by him, and he made a sharp sound, like a whistle, and when the natives heard this, they beat their chests, and then disappeared into the mountain forest.
Chen Kan looked at the operation of the natives with interest, it seemed that these mountain people were not as useless as he imagined.
At least, they have their own language, and their actions are not a swarm of bees, but an organized, disciplined collective action, no wonder the Ming Dynasty has occupied Yunnan for so many years, and still has not made Yunnan a "familiar land".
Most of the mountain people retreated, but there were still a few mountain people who looked at the Qincha team blocking the middle of the road with a wary expression.
They were not very numerous, about a hundred or so.
But these hundred or so people should be the real elite among the mountain people, because they not only have complete clothes, but also wear straw sandals on their feet, and the weapons in their hands are all standard long knives.
A hundred or so people, led by the leader of the mountain people, with a string of teeth around his neck, tightly surrounded the tiger.
Chen Kan did not have the slightest consciousness of being a hostage, and instructed the woman: "Let the tiger put away his supernatural powers, otherwise those horses under the command of this official will die of convulsions sooner or later." ”
The woman nodded, and after a few pats on the head of the big tiger, the tiger roared, and the war horses in the Qincha team returned to normal.
Chen Kan watched with great interest as the woman manipulated the tiger, and was amazed in his heart.
It seemed that the woman had her own way of controlling the tiger, and Chen Kan noticed that the force and number of shots she made on the tiger's head were different every time.
The IQ of this tiger is in no way inferior to those large beasts that have been domesticated by professional means in the circus of later generations, and I don't know how the woman did it.
If he could, Chen Kan would also like to raise a head to play.
"Let's go, Tonghai County Ya!"
Chen Kan gave an order, and the two teams joined forces and headed towards Tonghai County, which was not far away.
Fang Xu and Zhang San and the two hundred households came to the tiger's side, and their faces were also quite curious.
This tiger's IQ is also too high, and it can be retracted and released freely for its own power, and what is even more amazing is that after it roars, the horse is not afraid of it, and I don't know what the principle is?
Chen Kan understands that in nature, the difference in blood between animals is more obvious.
In particular, tigers, which stand at the top of the food chain, can not only suppress ordinary beasts, but even drive ordinary beasts for its use, which is why tigers are known as the king of beasts.
It's magical.
At least when the natural sciences have not developed to a certain extent, it is difficult for human beings to understand some of the strange behaviors of animals in nature.
Chen Kan sat on the back of the tiger, looking at the woman's bare shoulders and waist, feasting his eyes and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Or is it the sister of the ethnic minority who is generous, how good would it be if the woman of the Ming Dynasty was like this?
The grandpgrandes of later generations have said that women can hold up half the sky, but it is ridiculous that Daming actually tied women to the one-third of an acre of land at home, which is simply bold.
The liberation of women is imminent!
There was a faint fragrance coming from the woman's body, and Chen Kan subconsciously moved a little bit back, trying not to make physical contact with the woman.
After all, he's a married man!
After carefully examining the woman's entire body, Chen Kan's eyes showed appreciation.
It's a beautiful body.
The complexion is healthy, uneven, and even the ears are impeccable, leaving those star models in later generations a few streets!
He asked, "What's your name?" ”
The woman didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with letting the man ride a tiger with him, and when she heard Chen Kan ask, she replied in an extremely gentle voice: "My name is Maggie Azha, you can call me Maggie." ”
Maggie...... Does the name have any meaning? ”
Chen Kan knew that the names of the ethnic minorities in later generations had some special meanings, but Chen Kan did not feel anything amazing about the name Maggie Aza.
Chen Kan even felt from the bottom of his heart that this name was not worthy of this woman.
The woman did not answer Chen Kan's doubts, but asked, "What about you, what is your name?" ”
Chen Kan said: "Chen Kan." ”
"Chen Kan ......"
The woman repeated the name, then stopped talking.
Daddy warned him that Han officials are very cunning, and if you meet Han officials, you must stay away.
But this time it's to save my brother, shouldn't it be considered a violation of Daddy's teachings?
The woman's heart was a little tangled.
……
Tonghai County is a small city with the characteristics of the Central Plains, which is the so-called three-mile city and seven-mile outline.
Two streets in the city, one horizontal and one vertical, divide the city into four markets, and at the end of each street is a city gate.
Since Chen Kan and the others were taking the road back, they could only enter through the West Gate.
Chen An came to the tiger's side, although he didn't want to come, but his duty was to hide his fear of the tiger.
He took out a file from his bosom and said to Chen Kan: "My lord, the name of the Tonghai County Commander is Su Zhen, last year's comment from the Ministry of Officials in Beijing was competent, and he should have been promoted to Beijing, but he was blocked by the Marquis of Xiping, Tonghai County is a central county, 40,000 stone of grain is paid every year, and the people under his rule are 34,643 people, of which about a quarter are Han, and the imperial court has stationed three hundred households in the city......
Chen An poured beans into a bamboo tube and said the basic information of Tonghai County in one go, and then retracted back to the Qincha team.
Chen Kan looked at the city gate of Tonghai County and asked Maggie, "Shall we ride a tiger in?" ”
"Is there anything wrong, the king doesn't bite."
Maggie's answer made Chen Kan speechless for a while, is this a thing that bites or not, then it's a tiger!
"Who's ahead, stop!"
The tiger under the crotch of the two is too conspicuous, but the doorman guarding the door in Tonghai County seems to have become commonplace.
What really made the doorman guarding the door nervous was the 400 heavily armed cavalry under Chen Kan.
Although Yunnan is rich in products and is known as the kingdom of animals and plants, the local Yunnan horses look like donkeys, and this kind of high-headed horse can only be found in the army.
If he hadn't seen the knight on the horse wearing the armor of the Ming Dynasty, he would have shouted that the enemy was attacking!
Aunt Chen An stepped forward, shook the envoy's flag in front of the doorman's eyes, and shouted: "This official is the envoy of the Qin mission who was ordered to inspect Yunnan, and he quickly passed the county order to go out and kneel to greet him!" ”
After listening to Chen An's words, the two men looked at each other, didn't they hear that the imperial court's envoy was coming?
Moreover, why did the imperial court come to Tonghai, a place where birds don't?
There was a suspicious look in the eyes of the two, one of them ran towards the city with a smoke, but the remaining doorman still looked like he was facing a great enemy, and he said in a deep voice: "Cavalry must not enter the city!" ”
Chen An was stunned, the Qincha team would be deflated in a county town, which he had never expected.
But he soon figured out that if nothing else, the two gatekeepers who guarded the door should not know the weight of the word Qincha, and treated them as ordinary officials.
Somewhat embarrassed, he retreated back into the group.
It's reasonable to think about it, other Qincha people have arrived in the place, which one is not waving the flag, the convoy and horse team stretch for several miles, and I can't wait for the magistrate to come out and kneel to greet him a hundred miles away, and my group of people does not look like Qincha, but like a small-scale court cavalry.
Coupled with the mountain people who have mixed in with a hundred people, it looks even more nondescript, and when he encounters such a team that claims to be a Qincha, I am afraid that he can't help but be reasonably suspicious.
A group of people waited quietly at the gate of the city, blocking the other people who were going to enter the city, and the people who went out of the city immediately ran back to the city with a frightened face when they saw this posture at the gate of the city.
The doorman didn't let Chen Kan and the others wait for a long time, and soon, Chen Kan and the others heard the sound of gongs and drums in the city.
And the sound was rushing towards the city gate.
Chen Kan sat on the back of the tiger and watched with interest as a green-robed official hurriedly rushed towards the city gate with a large group of people such as the county chief clerk.
Each of them had a look of horror on their faces.
The Qincha of the imperial court came to their small county town quietly, how could they not panic?
It was an envoy representing the Son of Heaven.
It stands to reason that they should have gotten the news a long time ago, and then they went out of the city thirty miles to greet each other, which can be regarded as a manifestation of loyalty and patriotism.
How could he suddenly appear at the gates of the city?
No news at all!
This shouldn't be wow!
The green-robed official ran too quickly, and none of the black veils on his head fell to the ground without holding it steadily, and a group of people were in a hurry again.
When he rushed out of the city gate with the black yarn, he saw four hundred light horsemen standing quietly at the gate with more than a hundred savages.
He didn't have time to think about how the Qincha's team could get together with the mountain people, and he quickly glanced through the crowd and saw a young man in a scarlet robe riding on the back of a tiger, with a beautiful woman in his arms.
This is the Lord!
The cavalry automatically divided into a road, and Chen Kan's figure clearly appeared in the eyes of the official.
He didn't care if the tiger would eat people, so he led a group of county officials to kneel down a few meters in front of the tiger, and shouted: "Tonghai County ordered Su Zhen to lead the officials of Tonghai County to welcome the angel with all his might, but if he didn't know that the angel was coming, it would be a capital crime." ”
Chen An took out the holy decree from his arms, and said in a loud voice: "Fengtian carries the emperor, summons the emperor, and the commander of the five cities Chen Kan deposes the ambassador to inspect Yunnan...... Officials from all over the country must fully cooperate, and if there is a violator, there will be no forgiveness, ahmad! ”
As soon as the holy decree came out, Su Zhen had no last trace of doubt in his heart, and he took a group of subordinate officials to the ground: "Obey the holy decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
"Flat!"
Chen An withdrew the holy decree, tilted his head and looked at people with his nostrils.
Su Zhen got up with a group of subordinate officials, and hurriedly bowed his hand to plead guilty: "I don't know that the angel is coming, and I miss the welcome, and I ask the angel to forgive the sin!" ”
Seeing this, Chen Kan jumped off the tiger's back, and said lightly: "It's okay, get up, this official Chen Kan, added as the deposed ambassador of Yunnan this time, this time he came to Tonghai County, just for the Xiushan Tusi and the Hui people to fight for the canal, the officials of the department are all as usual, don't disturb the people, violators, heavy fines." ”
Maggie was a little dissatisfied with Chen Kan's sudden jump from the tiger, but when she saw that Chen Kan's few words could make the official in front of her look at him, a trace of excitement suddenly flashed in her eyes.
This official didn't lie to him, he is really older than the official in the city!
And Su Zhen couldn't help but shake his body when he heard Chen Kan's sentence that he should not disturb the people, and after the offender was severely punished, he hurriedly replied: "The lower official understands, the lower official understands, and please invite the angel to enter the county office!" ”
Why Chen Kan doesn't like to enter the city, the root cause is here, these magistrates always have to make a big battle when they hear that Qin is coming.
Even if they came to greet them themselves, they also mobilized the people of the whole city to beat gongs and drums, and collect all kinds of rare treasures to give gifts, as if this would show that they attached great importance to the chincha.
But Chen Kan only felt noisy!
This is just the case when Qin sent to the place, Chen Kan didn't dare to imagine what kind of scene it would be like if the emperor came in person.
No wonder every time the emperor goes on tour, there will always be ministers to stop him, because this is really hurting the people.
After letting Su Zhen dismiss the people who had been temporarily assembled, Chen Kan continued to return to the back of the tiger as a hostage.
And Su Zhen was not surprised when he saw the tiger, and walked on foot and waited by Chen Kan's side.
Chen Kan tilted his head and asked: "This official is here for the case of fighting for the canal yesterday, according to what this Maggie girl said, you indiscriminately led someone to take her brother to prison, is there such a thing?" ”
