Chapter 51: Difficult

'I know, I know......

Fang Ke ignored the strange gazes of the people around him, and struggled to squeeze to the front of the team, and saw clearly Yang Ge who was tied to the mixed yuan pile, and the whole person was not good.

As soon as he entered the city, he heard that there was a nine-cake hero who was giving porridge at the entrance of the vegetable market, and he felt bad in his heart, so he hurriedly went to the Yuelai Inn and Yang Ge's house, but he didn't find anyone, so he ran here...

In front of the public, he naturally didn't dare to make a noise, and after taking a look, he pressed down the hat on his head to protect him from the wind and snow, turned around and left.

Out of the vegetable market, he trotted all the way back to the Luoguxiang Embroidery Guard Station to find Gu Tong, and asked knowingly: "Where is the general flag?" ”

Gu Tong replied in surprise: "When did you see the general flag coming over during the day?" ”

As soon as Fang Ke heard this, his hanging heart was half lowered, he took off his hat and said perfunctorily with a smile: "You see my memory, I just want to send a message to the general flag, and I forgot that the general flag can't come during the day." ”

Gu Tong was very curious when he heard this, but the family rules made him resist the urge to open his mouth to ask.

Fang Ke strode into the side room of his office, and while calling the wrestler on duty to make a pot of hot tea, he asked casually: "Do I have any important business in the past few days?" ”

Gu Tong: "It's not very important, it's just some routine monitoring and summarization...... This morning, the Yongtai royal family reported the case to us through the county government, saying that their grain number had been robbed, and they wanted to ask our embroidered guards to arrest the strongman. ”

"Yongtai royal family?"

Fang Ke looked at Gu Tongyi's eyes in surprise: "How did you respond?" ”

"How else can you respond?"

Gu Tong sneered: "Last night, the general banner instructed me, to remember that our embroidered guards are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, not the watchdog of the powerful, can I disobey the order of the general banner?" ”

Fang Ke couldn't help but smile, and said, "You handled this matter well!" ”

After a pause, he said unhurriedly: "I might as well reveal a message to you, our general flag is about to be raised!" ”

"Raised?"

Gu Tong was shocked: "Try a hundred households? ”

Fang Ke bowed: "I will bring back all the tokens of the 100 households, and the documents will arrive later...... The meaning of the family is that I will carry the current shortage of our general flag, and with the trust of the general flag to you, the vacancy of the other general flag is very likely to fall on your head! ”

Gu Tong was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly arched his hand in the direction of Chaimen Street: "Gu Tong can have today, thanks to the cultivation of the general flag, and the matter of adding officials, Gu Tong never dares to hope for it!" ”

"That's it!"

Fang Ke sneered and said, "They are all brothers who wield a horse spoon in a pot, what are you pretending to be high in front of me?" In the future, you and my brothers should only follow the pace of our general flag, which tells our brothers to go east, and our brothers must not go west, and the general flag tells our brothers to kill chickens, and our brothers must not slaughter dogs...... At home, we have a general flag, which is praise and favor! ”

Gu Tong hurriedly replied: "Where are you talking about this?" The lives of the brothers and their wives and children, that are all protected by the general banner with a great deal of responsibility, even if we can only be a wrestler under the general banner for the rest of our lives, brothers and I only look forward to the head of the general banner horse, lead the horse to fall, charge into battle, and never give up! ”

Fang Ke nodded: "It's good that you have a number in your heart!" ”

After a pause, he seemed to be careless and said: "Speaking of which, Zongqi has always hated the Yongtai royal family, these illegal businessmen who rely on the support of the powerful people behind them, and act recklessly and use public weapons for private purposes. It's just a dog's heart! ”

Gu Tong didn't understand too much, but he still followed his words: "These big dogs are a little bit of a nose kick on the face...... Why don't we give them eye medicine? ”

Fang Ke thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "This kind of trivial matter, you and my brothers just have a few things in mind, don't alarm the general flag, and don't let the brothers below know about it to avoid bad things!" ”

Gu Tong replied to him with a "I understand" look, and replied in a low voice: "Then I'll go and knock on the new Tian County Order later, if I don't do anything for a day, I know that chasing these big dogs to wipe their buttocks, Lao Tzu has long been looking at the thief and bird is not pleasing to the eye!" ”

Fang Ke said in a strange manner: "After all, people are county orders, so we still have to give him some face...... Just knock and knock on the gang of people who washed the ground and the county soldiers, as soon as Lao Tzu entered the city, he saw them running all over the ground, and he was annoyed to see them! ”

Gu Tong nodded: "Clear, clear!" ”

Fang Ke: "Okay, you are busy with your going, I have to go to the general flag first to pacify the envoy...... Hey, look at my broken mouth, it was the Lord of Qianhu who brought some New Year's goods to our general banner, and I have to send it to the general banner quickly. ”

Gu Tong's eyes widened suddenly, and the smile on his face became more and more eager: "If you don't mention it, I almost forgot that the New Year is coming, the general flag is lonely on weekdays, and there is no relatives or friends, do our brothers have to buy some New Year's goods for the general banner, and have a lively and fat year?" ”

Fang Ke waved his hand: "Rest, the general flag treats our brothers as brothers, the most annoying thing is that your border army drinks the blood of soldiers, let's save more worry for the general banner, even if it is filial piety to the general banner...... I won't talk to you anymore, I have to go to the general flag first! ”

Gu Tong sent Fang Ke out of the house all the way with a blank waist, and then returned to the side room to think for a long time, and said loudly: "Tell the brothers to take the guys' business, let's go to the county office!" ”

……

Fang Ke squatted in the snow for half an hour, and finally heard the barking of dogs from Yang Ge's house.

He patiently continued to wait for about a quarter of an hour, and after estimating that Yang Ge had already changed his clothes, he got up and took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and took three steps and two steps to the door of Yang Ge's house, and knocked on the courtyard door gently.

"Squeak."

Yang Ge opened the courtyard door, saw Fang Ke with a frosty face outside the door, and immediately beckoned him to come into the inner room to sit: "When did you come back?" How long have you been waiting? ”

Fang Ke nodded with a smile on his face: "The city I entered in the afternoon just came over." ”

Yang Ge glanced at the water stains left by the melting of the snowflakes on his body, smiled and did not dismantle him, and asked directly: "When you entered Beijing this time, how did your family respond to the fact that the three major grain numbers joined forces to raise grain prices?" ”

Fang Ke first took out the silver waist plate of the test hundred households from his arms, put it in front of Yang Ge, and then narrated to Yang Ge the original story of his meeting with Shen Fan.

Of course, Shen Fa said that it was difficult for the three major grain merchants to hoard Juqi, and he must not have said a word.

"Wait? How to wait? ”

Yang Ge whispered indignantly: "I can afford to wait, can those people who have no food wait?" ”

Fang Ke persuaded: "My lord, the imperial court has the difficulties of the imperial court, and Lord Shen also has the difficulties of Lord Shen, we have done our best, and the rest can only obey the destiny of heaven!" ”

"It's not a natural disaster, it's a man-made disaster!"

Yang Ge got up and circled back and forth in the house: "Who is not difficult?" Is it not difficult for you and me, or is it not difficult for the people who are starving? ”

Fang Ke sighed lightly: "My lord, forgive me for overstepping my duties, as the old saying goes: If you are not in your position and do not seek your own government, if you can poke this matter, you are already at the risk of ruining your family, and other things are really not up to you, or even Lord Shen, to decide...... Besides, you've done enough, and the people of the whole road pavilion will be grateful to you! ”

He didn't make it clear that he knew that Yang Ge went to the Wang family to rob the rich and help the poor.

But when it comes to this, it's actually no different from picking it out.

Yang Ge didn't think that this matter could be hidden from Fang Ke, he just sighed heavily when he heard this, sat back in the chair, held his forehead with one hand, and whispered sadly: "But I always feel that I can do something more...... It's hard to be cold, it's hard to be hungry, it's hard to be cold and hungry, how hard it is! ”

Fang Ke looked at Yang Ge who looked like this, and suddenly recalled the reward he got when he was at home when he checked Yang Ge's details: on November 16 of last year, it snowed heavily for several days, and the guests entered the city in ragged clothes and braved the snow to live on the streets of Luting for two days......

He's already tasted cold and hungry, right?
