Chapter 2 Prisoners
Yan Lai didn't notice the strangeness of her sister-in-law, but she was thinking about another thing in the yamen. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Sister-in-law, tomorrow I will escort Xue Jiaqin to Fucheng with the soldiers from Jiangning Mansion..."
"Ah?!" Li suddenly heard the news of parting, and instantly woke up from her thoughts, since her husband was killed, what she was most afraid of was that someone in the family would travel far away.
"Why? Do you have to go? Do you have to come back for the New Year?"
The administrative division of the Dayu Dynasty is similar to that of the Tang and Song dynasties in the previous generation, in fact, there is a lot of overlap in some mountains, rivers, landlines and regional place names, but it may be that the territory is far more than the previous life, and there are always many deviations.
For example, there is not one river and one river in the dynasty, but two rivers and one river, the river is not called the Yangtze River, but the Lingjiang River and the Kunlun River, which are located in the south and the middle respectively, and the river is not called the Yellow River, but the Changhe, which is also in the north, which can still be used as a certain reference in general.
The dynasty is divided into eighteen state roads, but these state roads are only supervision areas, the first-level administrative area is the county government, and the lower ones are the states and counties, which are different from the Tang and Song dynasties in the previous life, the highest governor of the state roads is the state pastor, and the highest military and political governor of the county is the city lord, and the lower is the governor and the county.
Jiangning City is located in the southeast of Lingjiang River, is the capital of Jiangning Prefecture, belongs to Jiangnan Prefecture Road, 100 prefectures in the prefecture, Changling belongs to the county under the jurisdiction of Zhenzhou.
The central southeast zone between the Lingjiang River and the Kunlun River has always been beautiful, the people are outstanding and the spirit is spiritual, the martial arts atmosphere is long-lasting, and the major sects are endless, so the Jianghu sects here are collectively called the southern sects, and the northern martial arts north of the Kunlun River echo each other.
The central and southeastern hinterland is vast and rich in resources, which has given the southern sect an excellent environment for development, among which Jiangnan State Road and Huainan State Road are the most famous, followed by Jiangxi State Road and Jinghu State Road.
The Xue family who committed the crime this time is mostly divided into the north of the Lingjiang River, so Xue Qinghou is known as the hero of Jiangbei, which shows his ambition.
It is precisely because it understands that the Xue clan is deeply rooted in the Jiangbei area, in order to facilitate the calculation, the imperial court decided to escort all the criminals involved in batches, and the Wufu clan relatives in the Jiangnan area do not have to cross the river, and after arriving in Jiangning City, they will directly take a boat to the west, go to Jingnan, and then go all the way up to Luoyang, the capital division!
"The county has given the usual money as a subsidy. ”
"Is it dangerous?" Hearing this, the Li family was conflicted again.
The Dayu Dynasty is rich in land and resources, and the south of the Yangtze River is a large rice province, and its internal rice is only two Wen, Yanlai can receive ten buckets of rice and fifty Wen money from the Yamen every month, which is enough for himself and his sister-in-law and nephew to live.
But at the moment, you can make consistent money on a business trip, which is not a lot.
But this is only based on survival, if you know that just one ordinary Qi Pill needs one or two silver, then what is this bit of silver?
Therefore, in this world, anyone who can practice martial arts is either rich or expensive, of course, all major sects will also open the door to teach apprentices for the sake of the great cause of the future, and exempt the teaching fee depending on the performance of the qualifications, but Yan Lai is at a loss because of his age, and the previous qualifications of the original owner are average, and he has not entered the eyes of the high gate.
After convincing the sister-in-law and teasing the little nephew again, Yanlai went back to the house.
According to the habit of the past, he would read a book for half an hour at this time, and then meditate, but today he was quite tired, and he was afraid that the more he read, the more sleepy he would become, so he turned off the lights and went to bed and sat cross-legged.
At this stage when he had just died in his previous life and had not yet been reborn as a human being, he used to sink in a silent and silent darkness of nothingness, and he didn't know how long it was, until a light appeared, and after waking up, he became today's Yanlai.
I thought that the darkness was the place of death, but after being reborn, I still saw it in my dreams, and then by coincidence, he meditated on his own various things, and unconsciously fell into this world again, and since then he has begun to explore and explore.
I can't tell you what it feels like, as if I was trapped in it, completely detached from this world, and entered some exotic space, but when I opened my eyes, I was able to return to the world immediately.
What motivates him to continue this type of meditation is that at the end of each meditation, he can feel the subtle changes in his body, such as first his mental energy is more abundant, his ears are getting stronger and stronger, his eyesight is getting better and better, and his physique and mobility are quietly changing, which is very obvious in the past five years.
What's even more peculiar is that one day after he found that he could control the sinking tendency, he began to grope around continuously, hoping to explore something more wonderful, and as that mysterious and wonderful feeling continued, he noticed his breathing, and his heartbeat was throbbing, and finally formed a very tacit resonance.
Five months ago, he found that a tiny light shone in the darkness, not dazzling, nor soft, just a little starlight, but his thoughts, even his breathing and heartbeat, seemed to be attracted by this starlight, and some kind of energy suddenly appeared, and kept replenishing it, making the starlight more and more prosperous.
When this star became and the air-like energy could no longer be infused, he found that both his physique and his perception of the outside world had taken a step forward overnight.
"If I could light up another star, I wonder what would happen?"
In view of this, Yan Lai is more active in meditating every night, and even if it is carried out until the next morning, he will not feel tired, and only needs to really fall asleep for half an hour to achieve the goal of sleep.
However, the only disadvantage of this meditation is that it needs a quiet environment, once it is disturbed, it has to waste time to settle down, and the more times it is, the more difficult it is to enter, and even I will feel irritable, causing inexplicable emotions and physical pain.
"There are good and bad things in the world. ”
When the rooster crowed, Yan Lai had already gotten up and started to practice the style in the small courtyard, although he didn't have the money to buy pills and martial arts cheats, but with the continuous improvement of his physique and perception, he began to try to recall some fragmentary moves left over from his previous life, and through continuous practice and thinking, he figured out a little bit of the structure, and then repaired and tempered.
Not to mention the duel with those masters who have entered the product, at least when fighting with ordinary people, there is a certain response.
The practice of swords is inevitable, after all, it is the era of cold weapons, even heroes are indispensable to this kind of accompanying weapons, basically take advantage of more than an hour before the point to get up, after half an hour to practice boxing, half an hour to practice swords, and then go to take a cold shower, after breakfast to go to the yamen.
Practicing three nines in winter and three dogs in summer, the past five years have passed quickly, and every day is very fulfilling. For him, a reborn person, this identity is becoming more and more indistinguishable and emotional.
For this family, he began to be willing to take responsibility, because in this strange world, they are his family.
Knowing that my uncle was going to travel far today, it was too late last night and it was inconvenient, so my sister-in-law Li got up early in the morning to clean up for him, saying that it was just two or three sets of clothes and some dry food that could be eaten on the road.
Although there are arrangements in the county to escort the prisoners, Li thinks more, who let his husband and this uncle have suffered a bad disaster in the first place, the former has no bones, and the latter has luckily picked up a life.
Nephew Yan Xiaohuan was also driven up by his mother, the five-year-old doll talks a lot, and he has to ask everything, Yan Lai is modern after all, with different educational concepts, and he loves this little ghost very much, so he has always known everything and is very patient, so because of this, he is often joked by the Li family as a big child.
I don't know if Yan Lai is properly educated, or Yan Xiaohuan is smart herself, and she has always been old-fashioned when she speaks, and she will come to the sentence from time to time, you have to pay more attention to yourself when you go out, and if you see any good things, you have to think more about Huan'er, so that the mother on the side can't cry or laugh.
Under the eaves of the small cottage, a breakfast is overflowing with the smell of happiness.
Knowing that the uncle was really going out, the Li family was worried and reluctant, but there was no reason to keep him, so he could only give more instructions at the time of parting, and the most important thing was to be safe.
......
......
Although Yan Lai went out early, he was not the first when he arrived at the Yamen, because the Xue Jin family was locked up inside, and there were hundreds of people, so the soldiers from Jiangning Mansion rested in the Yamen and took care of them by the way.
"Erlang, it's really early. ”
After ordering, Yan Lai sat on the side and closed his eyes, even if he didn't meditate, he was used to this way of recuperating his energy.
The greeting was Mo Liangdao, who was only two years older than him, he was not familiar with it before, and he didn't know each other until he entered the yamen, maybe the two of them were the youngest among the officials in Changling County, and there was a generation gap between the three classes in their twenties, so they quickly got acquainted, and they have often had contacts in recent years, and they have become intimate friends.
"I just arrived, why do you see that your eyes are blank and you didn't sleep well last night?" Yan looked at him and said curiously.
"Hey, don't mention it, the family is urging marriage again, how can there be such a thing in this world, I haven't seen that woman, I'm going to marry her, in case it's a pockmarked face and thick legs, how will I live in the future." ”
Mo Liangdao is slightly taller than Yanlai, with fair skin and a handsome face, at first glance, he is well nourished, and the home environment is not bad, of course, it is almost the same as when the Yan family was not defeated.
As soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but nag, but he knew that marriage was the words of his parents, if it weren't for the fact that there was an elder brother on top, where would he be allowed to push back and forth now, it was not a question of whether you marry or not, the problem was that you had to leave an heir to the family as soon as possible.
"Lao Tzu simply won't come back this time, just find a mountain and field sect to vote. ”
Yan Lai glanced at him: "Then you have to be seen by others, otherwise what are you going to do? The doorman thinks you are big, and you can't let go of the slave." ”
"Assemble!"
After chatting a few words, there were officials entering the field one after another, and soon the hour came, and the soldiers of Jiangning Mansion also lined up neatly and stood aside.
Gao Cheng, the county magistrate, is a middle-aged man in his forties, who is very energetic, and has made great achievements since taking office, Changling County has always belonged to a wealthy county and town in Jiangning Mansion, otherwise Xue Jin would not have settled here.
For the Wufu clan of the Xue clan in Jiangbei, Gao Cheng can't talk about many acquaintances, nor how cold and widowed, although there are contacts, it is also a gathering of squires in the county, and it is quite embarrassing to see him implicated this time, after all, such a thing can be described as a catastrophe from heaven, and it can only be said that if it happens, if it is to blame, it is not good to blame fate.
But if you really think about it, it is also the Xue family, and the Xue family is also defeated.
In view of this, Gao Cheng did not mean anything to Xue Jin's family, and even took care of him, hoping that with his own modest efforts, he would not be too bitter along the way.
This time, the leader of the team in Changling County was a small colonel of the Jiangning Prefecture Terracotta Division, and his task was not heavy, but he had to be in a hurry, so he was arrested now, and if it wasn't for the inventory of property, he would have been escorted back yesterday.
After some normal admonition, Yan Lai set off with more than 20 third-class officials who were transferred from the yamen, and escorted Xue Jin and his family out of the county with more than 50 soldiers from Jiangning Mansion.
At this time, people came and went on the street, and there was an endless stream of lively people, and a squire who knew Xue Jin came to see him off, crying and crying along the way, which was very desolate.
Yan Lai looked around and found that his sister-in-law and nephew were also seeing each other off in the crowd, so he smiled reluctantly and showed relief, but he was also emotional.
Who would have thought that because a Wufu clan relative who had never seen it violated the ban with martial arts, it would involve this eldest man who just wanted to be a farmer, and the whole family stepped on the ghost gate.
So what are these people messing around?
