Chapter 106: Wood into a Boat
To tell the truth, Xiao Feng didn't have a good impression of all the guys who looked at people with colored glasses, not to mention that Han Anrong just listened to a few rumors, and he was aggressive from the moment they met, which was really a bit arrogant!
"Da Niu, let's see if there are any other routes to the capital, stay away from that Han family caravan."
Niu Dehao looked embarrassed, took out a map and unfolded it in front of Xiao Feng.
"Big brother, let's go to the capital on the official road the fastest. Although the Anrong Road next to it can also be reached, it is at least eighty miles more to go around the mountain, and the time is not enough! ”
Xiao Feng let out a long sigh, it seems that along the way, he and Han Anrong are inseparable for the time being.
"Forget it, let it be."
This walk has been more than half a month, and the two groups of people have no contradictions under Lin Shuiyao's buffer. Except for Han Anrong and Xiao Feng, who didn't like it when they looked back, the people on both sides got along unexpectedly well.
"Big brother, what's written on that sign in front?"
Still far away, Niu Dehao saw a stone monument.
Xiao Feng stood in the car and looked at it from afar.
"Da Niu, let's go to Longshi County!"
A smile gradually appeared on Niu Dehao's face.
"Big brother, so we're not far from the capital! Do you want to go into the prefecture and have a good rest? ”
"Of course I want to, I'm in a hurry all the way, what I say today I have to see what is the difference between the county seat at the foot of the imperial capital and our Yanyang County."
After settling everyone in the inn, Lin Shuiyao was first pulled out by Han Anrong to go shopping, while Xiao Feng took Niu Dehao and Niu Meng and went straight to the local meat and vegetable market.
"Brother Feng, look at that spirit pomfret, it's so big, there is no one in Yanyang County at all!"
"Big brother, the vendor's board has four or five hundred catties of fruits and vegetables, and the one in Yanyang County is not comparable."
While sighing, the group swayed to a small river.
Xiao Feng noticed that there was a dark alley behind a fisherman, so he walked over.
"It's really worthy of the foot of the imperial capital, even the back streets and alleys are clean and tidy."
didn't think about it, but the one who was fishing behind him sneered after hearing Xiao Feng's words.
"What's the use of being clean and tidy in the back streets and alleys, at the bottom of this, it's not the same as a fly camp dog, dirty?"
Xiao Feng thought it was funny, so he sat next to the man and watched him fish.
"Dare to ask Brother Tai, I think the people in Longshi County are rich in life and all industries are healthy, it should be under the rule of a virtuous official, and it shouldn't be dirty, right?"
The man sneered again: "What do you strangers who happened to pass by know, we just had a famine in Longshi County last month. If this can be considered healthy, I am afraid that there is no place in the world that is unhealthy. ”
Xiao Feng couldn't help but look around.
He knew what the famine was like, just when there was a malaria outbreak.
Even if he opened a warehouse to release grain and medicine, many people were displaced and their families were ruined. If he doesn't care, he doesn't know what he wants!
However, it seems that Longshi County has recovered from the disaster a little too quickly, and it can even be said that Longshi County has not been affected by the disaster at all.
Fish, meat, fruits and vegetables are continuous, the shouts of the shops can be heard across the three streets, and there are several fathers and sons flying kites by the river, where does it look like someone has been hungry?
"Don't hide it from Brother Tai, we are from Yanyang County, and we happened to experience the famine some time ago, compared with Longshi County, but there are two different scenes......
Xiao Feng wanted to hear how the man explained this, but the other party suddenly took a fishing rod and handed it to him.
"Brother Tai can fish, if he is not busy, it is better to fish than Mu?"
"Big brother, Mengzi and I will go to other places to have a look first, and then wait for you at the post station."
Seeing that Xiao Feng was a little eager to try, Niu Dehao immediately left with Niu Meng, and handed over the silver bag he was carrying to Xiao Feng.
"Okay, you go and look elsewhere first, and then I'll look for you at the inn when I'm done fishing."
Xiao Feng thought that the man was hindered by the presence of others, so he didn't dare to speak freely, so he agreed to the proposal of the Niu Dehao brothers without thinking about it.
"Brother Mu, I don't know what big fish are under the undercurrent in Longshi County?"
Mu Chengzhou glanced at Xiao Feng, and the corners of his mouth immediately raised high.
"Don't hide it from my brother, at a depth of three meters, there are one big fish and one small fish."
Xiao Feng smiled playfully.
"Since there is only one big fish and one small fish, why didn't Brother Tai jump into the river and catch them all up, and cut off the thoughts of other anglers, wouldn't it be a great achievement?"
Mu Chengzhou slowly put away the fishing rod.
"Dare to ask Brother Taizun's surname?"
Xiao Feng put away the fishing rod and clenched his fists with both hands.
"Yanyang County, Xiao Feng."
"Fortunately, Longshi County, Mu Chengzhou!"
As the so-called insiders never say things on the surface, when Xiao Feng saw Mu Chengzhou for the first time, he knew that this person should be a person in the officialdom.
In addition, as soon as he opened his mouth, he told himself that there were two bully gentry in Longshi County, and Xiao Feng guessed that Mu Chengzhou was the official of Longshi County! But what exactly is the position, he can't say well.
"Brother Xiao, you have shallow water in the north and a slow river, but you don't know that there is an undercurrent surging under the Wei River, and many people are buried in the mud. I don't have the ability to go to the moon for nine days, nor do I know the magic to control the hearts of the people of all directions, so why should I go down and die? ”
After listening to Mu Chengzhou's words, Xiao Feng suddenly realized that the county order at the feet of the Son of Heaven was the most difficult to do!
At this moment, Xiao Feng even felt that he and Mu Chengzhou were like each other at first sight, so he came up with the idea of inviting Mu Chengzhou to the inn to have a drink together and continue to chat about the next big thing.
But before Xiao Feng could speak, Mu Chengzhou got up and patted his ass and left, not even taking the fishing rod and fish basket.
"Brother Mu, you haven't taken your fishing rod yet!"
Mu Chengzhou waved his hand, and the pace under his feet never stopped.
"Give it to someone who is destined, I'm afraid I won't be able to use those things anymore!"
