Chapter 16: A Thousand Miles to the Peace
Pan Lei really came back, and he was still carrying a burden in his hand.
After drinking half a jar of wine, he was already a little drunk at the moment, and when Pan Lei sat down beside him, he asked: "Didn't you say to take a painting and a token, why is it such a big bag?"
Pan Lei thought for a long time before saying: "Pan only wants to be frank and '' as a person, here is the financial affairs that Pan has collected in the past year, a total of 47,000 taels of silver, 1,000 taels of silver tickets and 1,000 taels of gold tickets, as well as the deed books of the land mansion." As he spoke, he put the burden on the ground and opened it, and inside it was indeed an account book, gold and silver bills.
Da Kui didn't even look at it, and asked lazily, "Where are the portraits and tokens you said?"
When Pan Lei heard this, he took out a piece of rice paper and a silver hairpin from his arms, put them on the baggage, and said, "My wife's portrait and tokens are here.
Da Kui took the rice paper and unfolded it to look at it carefully. The paper is lifelike and painted like a beauty. As he spoke, he took the portrait and the silver hairpin into his arms.
Da Kui knew that Pan Lei would not say anything if he didn't see his family, and he said truthfully: "It will take more than a month to go to Luzhou and save people.
When Pan Lei heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "This is thousands of miles away from Luzhou, how can the master return in January."
Da Kui stood up and smiled slightly: "You don't ask, just wait for the news, but this official can advise Master Pan.
Pan Lei also got up and hugged his fists at the moment and said: "No matter what method the adults have to rescue Pan's family, as long as they see that they are safe and sound, Pan must know everything."
Da Kui nodded, and asked, "Where was she when you were separated from your wife, and who was in control?"
Pan Lei groaned and said: "I was sent to Jiangnan by Zhu Shouren, a fellow governor of Luzhou, and my family must have been controlled by him."
Da Kui pondered for a moment before he said: "In this case, the official will go, you can wait for my news in Quanzhou with peace of mind." Da Kui said without further delay, turned around and walked out of the prison door.
Pan Lei naturally didn't believe it in his heart.This is not a mountain road.Boat boat.Accommodation.Even a fast horse takes half a month.Da Kui said that he will return in January.Does he have the ability to shrink the ground into inches and pass through the heavens.
Da Kui went out of the prison 'door' and immediately ordered to go down.Everyone stayed in Quanzhou and took strict care of Pan Lei.Before coming back, there must not be a little mistake.Dog left.Stones.broom.dustpan.bench to receive orders.Da Kui arranged them one by one, and then set off alone.Gou Yu couldn't help asking: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for adults to walk alone.It's better to bring some people around.It's good to have a response in case of trouble."
Da Kui smiled and said: "Take someone with you, but it will miss the official's itinerary. It is more convenient for the official to be alone. You wait and stay in Quanzhou.
Gou Yu couldn't help asking, "Now that he's a prisoner, how can the adults lift him up like this?"
Da Kui Shen groaned and said: "He is different from the prisoners of the first class, you will follow him after I leave, you must ensure that he is thorough, no matter whether the official can come back within a month, you need to be good to him." Da Kui still had to say something, seeing his subordinates gathered around him, they couldn't help but worry about Da Kui and relieved: "Everyone, remember, Lord Pan is still the prefect of Quanzhou, everything is as usual." All the men agreed in unison.
Da Kui carried the Longquan sword and walked out of the 'door'.The stone led the red cloud to follow him.Until the stone reached the street, the stone 'handed over' the reins in his hand to Da Kui.Da Kui didn't delay anymore, turned over and got on the horse.With both feet knocked on the horse's belly, the red cloud walked forward.When he walked to the place where there were few people, Da Kui rode his horse and went straight to the north 'gate'.
This is to go to Luzhou thousands of miles away, Da Kui is alone, crossing the river with a sword, and saving people, which is tantamount to being in the mouth of a dangerous tiger, pulling out teeth.
But for the sake of a promise, for the sake of the stability of the Ming Dynasty, it is really a guest to die in a foreign land, and the head is in a different place.
Fortunately, now Da Kui is seriously ill.His body has been reduced a lot compared to before.Riding on a horse is not a heavy burden.Red Cloud gallops along the official road like the wind.A thousand miles in a day is not a problem.
Until the early morning of the fourth day, Da Kui rushed to the boundary of Taiping Mansion, which relied on the Yangtze River, and set up the Jianyang Guard Station in this place for the defense of the Ming Dynasty, where 50,000 ironclad troops were stationed.
In the past, the military horses that could be mobilized from all over the country could only be 1,000 people, which was limited by the system.
This time, Da Kui arrived at the Taiping Mansion, but he came alone, and there was no retinue around him, so naturally it would not cause any noise.
The envoy of Jiangnan Tong has arrived, God, could it be that Lord Yu of the Taiping Prefect has committed something.
Today's Da Kui is like a plague god in the Jiangnan officialdom.Wherever he goes, he can't help but cause a lot of noise.But isn't it.Da Kui has to kill everywhere he goes.Huguang Shun Yuancheng is the head of more than 300 people on the ground as soon as the knife is opened.Although it is a very far away land of different races.This matter is now known to everyone.
Da Kui instructed this yacha not to make a noise, and led the way to meet the prefect Yu.
Lord Yu is forty people, kind eyebrows, kind eyes, kind faces, especially for officials, has always been honest and honest, the voice of the people is very good, Da Kui also has a sentry in this Taiping Mansion, after the sentry detective heard the truth, he will leave on his own, until he finds an official with bad deeds, he will stop and transmit news.
In the mansion of the queen of the palace, Lord Yu is planting vegetables with his subordinates. This kind of action is related to King Wu. Although King Wu owns half of the south of the Yangtze River, he still leads by example and is thrifty and self-controlled. There are few 'flowers' in the palace of Wu Wang, but there are large vegetable fields.
King Wu's wind spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, and the officials in Jiangnan followed suit. Lord Yu was originally a scholar, but everything was inferior.
As an official, sit above the fifth grade, it is said that Yulu is used for food and clothing, as long as it is not extravagant, but it is enough.
Da Kui followed Yacha to the backyard, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but be embarrassed, and then motioned to Yacha to be quiet, and walked behind Lord Yu, and said softly: "Lord Yu, do you want to help?"
Master Yu was on the ridge, and he saw that the posture was on the rise, and when he heard this, he looked left and right at the ridge before saying, "Well, the official has already laid the ridge, and you dig a small pit half a foot apart from each other on the ridge, and then someone will sow and water it."
Da Kui smiled, then rolled up his sleeves and went to find a small shovel, and really began to dig a pit in the ridge. Da Kui was originally a farmer, and he was an expert in this farming.
Master Yu straightened up, stretched out his hand, pounded his sore waist, turned around, and saw the pit on the ridge of the ground, and couldn't help but praise: "Well, the staggered fall is so deep that the size is appropriate." Then I saw Da Kui wearing soap boots on his feet, and then looked up at a crimson robe. Lord Yu couldn't help but be stunned.
Seeing that Da Kui was actually dressed in a red robe, Lord Yu couldn't help but shout: "Why don't you dare to overstep the rules." Then he saw the yacha standing stupidly not far away, and immediately shouted, "Come on, take down this madman and put him in prison." Da Kui stood there and just looked at Lord Yu with a smile and didn't speak.
Who knew that under this command, the yacha did not move, but blinked at him. Lord Yu looked at the clothes on Da Kui's body again, the red robe had a small 'flower' dark pattern, and he couldn't help but be shocked. Said with a deep sigh.
Da Kui laughed and came over and stretched out his hand to help him, "Lord Yu, please be polite, please get up."
Master Yu straightened up and couldn't help but ask again, "My lord, who are you?" Although Da Kui is wearing a red robe, what exactly does he do, Lord Yu is still unsure in his heart, after all, the two products are court officials, and the court officials are different.
Da Kui stretched out his hand, took the waist card from his arms, handed it to Lord Yu, and said, "This official Jiangnan Tong political envoy Zhang Dakui."
After Lord Yu saw the waist card, he returned his hands with both hands, and then he hugged his fists again and said: "Yu Zheng, the prefect of the Taiping Mansion, has seen Lord Zhang, the envoy of the General Administration." Said with a deep sigh.
Da Kui took the waist card and said with a smile: "Lord Yu, please get up, can you take a step to speak."
Yu Zheng smiled and said, "That's nature, that's nature." As he spoke, he instructed the yacha to say, "Please invite Lord Zhang to the front hall to serve tea. The yacha took the order, walked over and stretched out his hand to please, "Lord Zhang, please come here."
Da Kui didn't shirk either..Turned around and followed the Yacha to the front hall of the Ya's door.Sat down in the front hall.Yacha went to make tea.Da Kui slowly tasted the tea and waited.After a while, Yu Zheng had already changed his clothes and came to see.
Da Kui got up again and had a polite exchange with Yu Zheng, and then the two of them sat down separately. Da Kui went straight to the point and said: "This time, the official came to bother Lord Yu to prepare a boat for the official, and to find two 'fine' and five strong martial arts 'fine', and the official wants to cross the river and go north to do some things."
Yu Zheng couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this. This crossing of the river is not a child's play. Not to mention that there are troops on both sides of the strait to patrol the army.
