After passing the sword gate, it is counted as entering Shu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The Huashan faction and his entourage got the news that the Book of Heaven was present in the Guanzhu area, and they were separated from us to take the Book of Heaven.
Huang Cheng, the owner of the Heavenly Scroll, has been taking the Heavenly Book every once in a while since he got the Heavenly Scroll, and every time he appears, his martial arts will make great progress. I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if the Heavenly Book Scroll is really as rumored to say, it can make people's martial arts increase suddenly.
It is already April, the weather in Shuzhong is gradually humid and hot, there is half a day of rain every day, half a day is cloudy, and it is rare to see the sun once. After five or six days, we arrived at Zhuming Station, which is close to Zhuming County, and the town is quite prosperous.
Xue Yuer shouted thirsty and said that she wanted to drink 32611 milk tea. Liu Qingfeng took us around the town, and it took us half a day to find a bubble tea shop marked with a cup of ten wen.
Two cups of milk tea!
Liu Qingfeng was about to pay, and when the guy at a milk tea shop next door saw this, he took the opportunity to shout, the couple's milk tea package, 30 yuan a cup, half price for the second cup!
When Liu Qingfeng heard this, he said to Xue Yu'er, why don't we try the couple's milk tea? Xue Yu'er pouted and said, Who is a couple with you?
Liu Qingfeng said cheekily, two cups of couple's milk tea. I said that anyway, if you have a treat, you don't like to be hungry for food, so how can you pick and choose, and some of them are good to drink.
I took the ordinary milk tea, and saw that their milk tea was nothing special, so I asked the man.
The guy said, in fact, it's just a slight difference in packaging, and the taste is really not different. I said this is not to deceive consumers? The guy shook his head and smiled, how come, we are not only selling a cup of milk tea, but also a kind of feelings. And what is sentiment? Anyone who puts a price on it is an insult to the word. You know how much we sell a year by selling feelings.
The guy stretched out three fingers and said proudly, Three circles! Spare the earth three times! I drank the emotionless milk tea, and I couldn't help but be dumbfounded when I saw Liu Qingfeng and Xue Yu'er being courteous.
At this time, there was a commotion not far away, but I saw a few ruffians and hooligans not far away above the fish market, holding machetes, slashing at a stall owner, regardless of the discussion of the people around them. The boss fell in a pool of blood, dead or alive.
I asked the man, is the law and order in Shuzhong so chaotic now? When people are cut down on the street, the government doesn't care? Man, he said coldly, the government? After the rebellion of the king of Shu last year, the imperial court carried out a major purge of the officialdom in Shu, killing and killing, and closing the pass, and there is no so-called official government in Sichuan.
Along the way, what they saw and heard, the officers and soldiers colluded with the sects, the rivers and lakes competed with the people for profit, and Shuzhong had fallen into semi-anarchism.
Although it is said that the troubled times use heavy canons, since ancient times, it is extremely rare to put the officialdom of Yiyi Prefecture in the whole pot, but Zhu Wuneng, who is known for his wisdom and martial arts, can do it, I am afraid that he is very disappointed in Sichuan. Is it intentional for the imperial court to cause this situation?
Our plan was to go to Wujin Laojunguan, Meng Jinping said that Zhao Tianhao lived in seclusion in Laojunguan, but in the past few days, the heavy rain has flooded the Minjiang River, washing away the bridge. Those ferries were also not manned, so they had to take a detour to the west. In this way, Xue Yu'er wanted to go to Chengdu, first, to play in the capital of abundance, and secondly, to see if there was a chance to inquire about the whereabouts of the notes.
Coming to Minjiang Longtoudu, the ferry is still on the other side of the river, there is still a period of time before the ferry, we came to a tea shop at the ferry to drink tea. There are not many coffee tables in the tea shop, almost full of people, only a slightly larger table, where a few Jianghu guests are sitting. Those people glanced at the post road from time to time, as if they were waiting for someone.
Liu Qingfeng leaned over and said, work hard, squeeze it. The man put the knife on the seat, and I took a few seats next to it, and you are not welcome here.
Liu Qingfeng touched the nail and came back suddenly, I still wondered if this was not his style, he used to stir up trouble, make trouble, and make trouble.
We squeezed at another table and asked for a pot of tea. Shuzhong is more famous for the bird's tongue and flower tea, the flower tea has the best drifting snow, the bird's tongue has the Pujiang River, the two flavors are one strong and one light, each has its own characteristics.
At this time, it is the new tea of the bird's tongue before the Ming Dynasty is on the market, and the tea leaves are poured in boiling soup and erected in the teacup, such as the bird's tongue, which is exceptionally good-looking.
At this time, two other people arrived, and they were in a hurry, and after meeting with the people here, they drank a few cups of tea and said in a low voice, The idea is coming soon, and the brothers are vigilant and take action.
It turned out to be a group of green forest ringing horses robbed on the road, but I don't know who would be so unlucky and favored by this gang of robbers.
After another cup of tea, two people, an old man and a young man, the old man rode a thin donkey, with a mustache, and the young man was in his thirties, dressed as a Confucian student, and his eyes were firm.
I know this person, Min Qiuye, who rented a house with me in the capital and was a six-year jinshi in high school. When I saw them, I shouted, "Min!
When Min Qiuye saw me, he said, "Three views?" I laughed, I used to be a bear hug, I haven't seen you for two years, how did you come here?
Min Qiuye said, the year before last, his brother was sent by the emperor to Lingnan as a county official, and he thought that he would make great plans to serve His Majesty, but in two years, he didn't do anything except offend people. I have a stubborn temper, and I refuse to agree with those who meet and greet in the officialdom, and I got a middle and lower evaluation, but fortunately, I was recommended by Song Sixian, a squire of the military department, and I applied again, so I was sent by the saint to Chengdu Mansion as a general judge, and I didn't expect to be promoted to an official position. It's just that it's not good for my brother's official, this is not except for a master, but he has no long things!
I saw that although Min Qiuye was dressed in a regular suit, although the cuffs and other places had been washed white, it didn't look like he was very rich. As an official, he has done his part, and it is indeed as Shen Mo said, it is quite an official reputation.
If in the past, the Chengdu Prefecture was sentenced, and the eight-grade official in charge of public security and criminal punishment was also quite powerful in a state and a government, but Shuzhong was different, the Chengdu Prefecture prefect changed a few stubbles, and he resigned if he was not missing. That Lao Min took up his post in Chengdu Mansion this time, I'm afraid it won't be so smooth.
When those people from the rivers and lakes saw that Min Qiuye knew us, they became wary and looked at us in private, I said in my heart, I don't care about others, but if you pay attention to Lao Min, then I will not be polite.
Lao Min didn't realize that he had been targeted, and said, today for my brother to come to Chengdu to take up a new job, Sanguan said that he would have to stay for a few days, although I don't have much silver, but the friendship of the landlord is also to be exhausted.
Liu Qingfeng said with a smile, he has long heard that there are many beauties in Chengdu, especially the Nine Eyes Bridge, which is famous all over the world......
Xue Yu'er glared and said, what did you say?
Liu Qingfeng hurriedly changed his words and said, there are so many snacks in Chengdu, I will discuss with Lord Min and mobilize the soldiers and horses of Chengdu to find you delicious food?
Xue Yu'er said, this is about the same.
I thought to myself that when Lao Min first entered Shuzhong, he got into trouble with the enemy, as a friend, no matter what, he couldn't sit idly by, since he was graciously invited, I discussed it with Liu Qingfeng a little and decided to accompany him.
The ferry came, the five of us paid the money to get on the boat, and the five or six Jianghu passengers were about to come up with them, Liu Qingfeng blocked the boat very inappropriately, and I booked the remaining seats, you are not welcome here.
The man who was the leader of the rivers and lakes, listening to the accent, this brother is a foreigner, in Xia Wuhou to help Xiang Liu, many friends and many roads, if you form a bond with us, I am afraid that Your Excellency's road is not easy to go.
Liu Qingfeng said, if you don't know where to go on the road ahead, let me stay and be your father, okay?
Xue Yu'er sneered, I don't want such an old son! After speaking, his face suddenly turned red, and Liu Qingfeng was very happy when he heard it. A knife man in the back said angrily, bastard, you melon baby, you want to die, don't you?
Liu Qingfeng learned with a Sichuan accent, looking for you a hammer. Don't accept you to beat me?
The swordsman was about to draw his knife, but was stopped by the man in front of him and shook his head.
Our boat left the south shore and slowly headed north, and it didn't take long for three or four flat boats to catch up from behind, and it was those people who were just now.
I asked Min Qiuye, who did you provoke? These people have been eyeing you for a long time!
Min Qiuye said, some time ago, a few gentry in Wuhou County wrote to me to discuss the matter of well salt and tax collection, and I thought to myself how could the national weapon be used for private use, but I refused. Could it be that they are looking for someone to take revenge on me?
I said that this is probably just the beginning, and before he arrived, he had already taken up a grudge with the local people, and I am afraid that Lao Min's trip is a little troublesome.
I said Lao Min, let me ask you, what do you think about entering Shu as an official this time?
Min Qiuye said loudly, Min Mou has been determined to be a good official and a young official since the day he studied in middle school. Even if the ability is limited, it is still possible to establish a heart for heaven and earth and a life for the people.
I laughed and said, in this case, I, Qin Sanguan and Liu Qingfeng, will ensure that you are a good official who lives for the people!
At this time, the few small boats behind him approached, and more than a dozen Jianghu people from the Wuhou Gang held swords and surrounded our boats.
I said how could it be, when I got to the other side, I still had to eat a few bowls of wine! After that, I stood on the bow of the boat and said: Qin Sanguan is here, please invite the brothers of the Wuhou Gang to eat Wang Ba!
Liu Qingfeng understood and shouted, I'll come first!
Lu Long's sword came out of the sheath, and a sword light swung through, and those small boats were like knives cutting tofu, broken into several pieces.
Those few people fell into the Minjiang River, struggling in the slightly cold river water, a few waves passed, disappeared, it is estimated that they really went to the bottom of the river to chat with Wang Ba.
Where has the boss of the boat seen this scene, his eyes are wide open, and he looks at us like a monster, saying that several heroes spare their lives!
I said in my heart that he dared to treat us as murderous bandits, and said a few words of relief, until Min Qiuye took out the letter of appointment of the ministry to believe it. When he got off the boat, Xue Yu'er also left him five taels of silver, saying that the matter was involved in the gangs of the rivers and lakes, and asked him to sell the boat and take the silver money to hide outside.

Sanguan is a father, the little princess is five pounds and a tael, the mother and daughter are safe, these days in the hospital to stay up late with the bed, take the time to write a little with the mobile phone, and there is no time to check, if there is a problem, everyone will raise it, and then change it when it is revised in the future. In other words, holding a child is a technical job, so be rewarded!
