chapter eight
Ruyun came at the perfect time, but I couldn't help but have doubts.
Since I am not feeling well, I will go to the county governor's office another day and check out the business people today.
"Miss Ruyun, let's rest in the government office for the day. It's hard work, girl, from traveling and traveling."
"Qingshan, go and arrange a place for the girl to rest."
Ruyun could only let her rest.
"Yezi, go and call Mr. Ying and ask him to wait for me at the front door."
"Yes, sir."
Yezi, the guard who was frightened by my thank you that day, did things neatly. I went to change my clothes, and I'll go incognito for a private visit later.
"Sir, if you notice any problems with the caravan, I'll just go."
Ying Yu knew that the master was still not well, so he thought of going alone.
"It doesn't matter, I'll go take a look this time."
But my lord, it's too cold outside and you can't bear the cold. They can't afford it if something goes wrong.
I know what their expressions are without looking at their faces. I wasn't used to the cold in the north back then. It's worth it for them to look so disgusting whenever they see me go out.
"Sir, Butler Qingshan asked you to put this on."
Yezi held the mink fur cloak with an expressionless face and put it on for the adults while talking. They all know that the only person who can be "forced" by the Weiyuan County Government now is Butler Qingshan. Although he looks young, the method is to wait and see.
"Okay, I'll get dressed."
Qingshan carried out his mother's instructions without hesitation, and the guards in the yard became "accomplices". But in the final analysis, Zhou Xiaochuan is still too weak.
There were not many people on the street. Fortunately, the weather was nice and the sun was warm. Ying Yu and I walked.
"Ying Yu, if you leave the court one day, where do you want to go?"
Leave, how to leave? They are inseparable from each other.
"My Lord, what if it were you?"
He knew that the adults had forgotten the past and did not care about the piercing of the wound. It was not a wound in the first place, and it was petty for a man to care about it.
"I think this place is nice. Although it's not surrounded by green mountains and clear water, it's comfortable. When the case is over, I will stay here and be my county magistrate. If Ying Yu remembers me one day, you can come here, and I will definitely treat you well."
I know I have said something wrong. As secret guards, they probably don't have that much freedom to speak. He obeys the king, and after spending time with him, I am not afraid of him supervising me, and I am happy to have him as a casual friend.
"Okay, if you are the local official, Ying Yu will definitely bother you."
My Lord, I sincerely hope that you can be the local official.
The merchant's place was in the west of the city, and it didn't take much time to walk there. Ye Zi and his friends had explored the place before, so they found their way here with ease.
"Ying Yu, do you know what they are selling?"
"The Daqing caravan went to Daxia to sell more cattle, sheep, and horses. The horses were mostly supplied to the garrison. The cattle and sheep were inspected by the military doctor at the post station and then flowed to the market."
"These items must pass through the government. If I were a gangster, I would definitely avoid this road."
The common saying that "the most dangerous place is the safest" is naturally untrustworthy. Although there is such a thing as a blind spot, if something is stolen in the city, it will be turned upside down.
Of course, if someone is bold enough, there is no telling.
"Is there a secret door here?"
"Sir, are you talking about smuggling transactions?"
"Exactly." The black market has never stopped since ancient times. I don't believe that in order to avoid taxes, they can't use secret methods.
"There is a secret door ahead."
"Oh, that's interesting."
If I hadn't asked, they would have taken me in directly, but it would have been a little less fun. These guards were very skilled and courageous. If they hadn't concealed anything, I would not have minded their many twists and turns.
"What are they selling?"
"Jewelry and jade are the most profitable and have the heaviest tariffs."
Aren’t all profit-making sectors such as jewelry turned over to the state for mining? If I remember correctly, even the salt we eat in daily life is controlled by the state. There is no reason why we should not interfere with this jewelry.
"The gems they sell are smuggled goods, mined from the coldest and most dangerous places in Daqing. The gems there are loved by dignitaries, but the terrain is steep and not suitable for large-scale operations."
"I always seek wealth and wealth from danger."
If you are willing to sacrifice your life, you will naturally not want to take a share of the pie with tariffs.
"Do I look like a fat sheep to be slaughtered in your eyes today?"
Your Excellency is the young master of the General's Mansion, so if you are weak or sick, you should be well-fed. The general's wife requires that everything be as comfortable as possible for food and clothing. Among other things, the housekeeper Qingshan handed over this mink fur coat before going out today. It is a rare thing. very.
"Sir, please don't joke."
"Ying Yu, Sir, I am not joking. I would like to trouble you, Sir Ying, to take care of you outside later. Young Hero Yezi, could you please pretend to be a servant?"
Regardless of the expressions of those two people, since the young master is here, he must have a good time in private visits.
The front facade was naturally inconspicuous, so Yezi went up and knocked on the door.
"You knocked on the wrong door, guest."
The look on your face when you opened the door was very alarming. If you were an ordinary person, the first thing you would say when opening the door would be , " Who are you looking for?". Why did you knock on the wrong door like this?
"We came here on the recommendation of Brother Hutong Xiangji. You have what my young master wants."
Yezi and I stood outside the door, accepting the scrutiny of the person who opened the door. It seemed that this mink fur was the most eye-catching and made him look at it for a long time.
"I have offended you just now. Please come in."
The inside is not as shabby as the outside. After bypassing the shadow wall, it suddenly became clear. The person who led the way took us around for a while, and then led us to the front hall. There was a person sitting there, who was much more mature and steady than the person who led the way, and naturally also very cunning and exquisite.
"Jicheng has sent a message. I wonder what your distinguished guest's request is?"
Biao Shan looked at the young master sitting across from him and naturally knew that he was a wealthy man.
"My young master wants to celebrate the birthday of his ancestor, and wants to give him something rare to make her smile." Yezi replied when he saw that the master didn't make any move.
The young master came here to pretend to be beeping (melt out), so of course he had to show off. He picked up the newly served tea and smelled it. He thought of his mother's advice that the tea was light and should not be drunk too much. Now that he was not thirsty, he put the tea down again.
But in the eyes of the people on the other side, this action naturally meant that they disliked the tea. They knew the grade of tea they served their guests.
"Sir, would you like to serve tea again?"
"It doesn't matter, I'm not here to drink tea."
Be quick and get to the point.
"It's freezing outside and I'm tired. I wonder if the boss can give me something to relieve my fatigue?"
I said it was cold, and Yezi pushed the warm jade stove over the other side. Needless to say, Qingshan gave it to him. He didn't feel it when he was walking outside just now, but now after sitting for a while, this hand stove is in use.
"Sir, are you here?"
"Of course I came here. You, the alley master, can't get in with your sedan chair. Thinking about your ancestors, why don't you go there in person?"
What I said is also true. Their fish intestine alley is passable by pedestrians, so don't even think about sedan chairs.
"I am moved by your filial piety, sir. Please come here."
Okay, this is the end of the test. Just leave, I'm afraid you won't make it! ?
Chapter nineThere are indeed many articles in it.The jewels and jade are naturally of good quality, but the knife skills are not even the slightest bit inferior."Boss, if it's this kind of stuff, I'd better leave.""Of course not, please wait a moment."I am very cautious, and I want to see what object is hidden so deeply!"Master, this is the Purple Qi Suet Ruyi. It is the most suitable thing to give to the old lady on her birthday. Take a look, this suet jade is clean in color, fine in texture, dense in structure, strong but not brittle. Ruyi also has longevity and peace." meaning.”"This thing is not unusual.""This string of jade braves is made of hibiscus jade, which has good toughness, delicate lubrication, and is excellent for moisturizing the head. The jade braves have the meaning of bringing wealth from all directions, can drive away evil spirits and bring peace.""This string looks exquisite, but the intention
chapter TenHis brother who had been robbed of his family was hidden in the governor's mansion. Ying Yu found out about it at night.To put it bluntly, this county is here to close the case today.Although the brother of the county guard managed to survive such a big case of kidnapping his parents, this cannot be ignored by common sense. Now that he has committed such a big case, I don't know whether he should be said to have saved the galaxy in his previous life. The whole country couldn't catch him?I'll just think about this and won't go into details. Just let them worry about those silly things that make them lose their heads.This imperial mission is about to come to an end. From now on, I will be an ordinary magistrate."I wonder why the imperial envoy and Ying are here?""Get dirty."The county guard followed us out properly and his attitude was very cooperative. Even his brother, who was seriously injured and bedridden,
Chapter 11He led a horse, using some unfamiliar horsemanship, and rode recklessly, just to never see this place again.In the past, someone said that I was easy to make a living. To put it to the extreme, I could be considered as having no desires or desires.In fact, these are not me at all now.I don't like to analyze myself in front of everyone, it's like running naked without clothes, and everyone will judge me and give away their unnecessary emotions.But these are not what I want.I'm not afraid of "running naked", at worst it could be treated as a performance art.But I don't want to play the piano to a cow.So choose someone.Eat, read, and go to the supermarket alone; get sick alone, take medicine, and go for follow-up examinations alone. These things can be done by one person, so there is no difference between them and two people.There are thousands of ways to live in the world, I just chose the path with
Chapter 12"Where are you going?""Resign.""You, you! Don't take my efforts lightly!""So I gave it to you, you can't blame me if you can't get it?"Although my words may sound harsh, they are the truth. I really don't want his things."Zhou Xiaochuan" really wanted to punch the man who had just abused his body and was now smiling and asking for a beating, but now he was just a few souls.This is the real Zhou Xiaochuan, the unlucky guy, now a ghost in the clear sky. If I hadn't driven my horse deep into the dense forest, he would probably not have appeared.Away from this deep forest, under the bright sky, there was no place for him to stay except for the jade pendant.But now, looking at that arrogant and angry face, I suddenly feel that I am free of trouble! In order to prevent the flaws from being revealed, I have wronged myself in every way. Now that the real owner has returned, this family, this country, this life,
Chapter 13The young man has now become a pretty boy who eats and drinks.Being penniless, after being treated to a meal by Ruyun, he chose a very comfortable room and spent the first night sleeping in bed in more than ten days.I'm not a straight male chauvinist, but I feel very embarrassed to let a woman pay. Please forgive me, my face is not as thick as a city wall."Miss Ruyun, I'm sorry for the expense today. I will definitely thank you for your hospitality tomorrow."For the sake of the food and the clean room, I should thank her before she did anything to harm me."Master, this money is yours.""This inn was built according to your instructions, so there is no need to thank me."Oh my! How could it be?I'm going to give a ghost a good interrogation.On a dark and windy night in January, with the doors and windows locked, someone sneakily pulled the jade pendant out of his neck. He found a handkerchief and rubb
Chapter 14He was drunk and drunk, so no one else could see him, but Zhou Xiaochuan (the ghost) could never escape.Now the drunkard was sitting on the ground. He didn't know how to get the coldness on the stone steps. He was motionless, and his eyes seemed not to move."This plum tree is in bloom."Compared with the prosperous plum tree in his heart, it was as crimson as brocade and satin, and it was so red in a trance that it made his eyes dizzy. He felt dizzy from sitting, so he stood up tremblingly, and his body grew three points taller than the one in front of the plum tree.I felt uncomfortable and couldn't breathe. Now that the night is deep, the bright lights have been burned out, and the place has suddenly become cold after a day of celebration, which is not what I am used to.Since there is no one to sit with in the morning, I will entertain myself while drinking and talking about the past. It doesn't matter if I have a carnival a
Chapter 15New Year's Day has arrived, and the Lantern Festival is naturally not far away.Although this place is not wealthy, the festive atmosphere is not dull at all. Unexpectedly, in modern life, life is getting richer and more advanced day by day, but the atmosphere of the festival is getting weaker and weaker. During the festival, it seems that there is nothing else to enjoy except shopping.In the end shopping became all part of the holiday season.No sense of restraint anymore."You are an adult now, don't you want to fool around with the children?" Zhou Xiaochuan stared at someone who looked longing and thoughtful. He could see this guy clearly. If it was what he wanted, he would do it regardless of the eyes of the world. practice.Originally, this had nothing to do with him, Zhou Xiaochuan, and he didn't need to worry about it, but now this scoundrel was carrying his skin, and if he did anything embarrassing, he would be blamed in
Chapter 16"Don't pay attention to the store owner, he is a crazy monk."The people eating Yuanxiao on the side couldn't stand it anymore. This crazy monk stayed here for a long time. He would make some specious remarks to everyone he saw, but he couldn't really do it.After the words spoken in twos and threes around him, pedestrians stopped one after another.The small shop was full of people, and the young man was so busy that he felt dizzy and didn't notice when the monk disappeared.However, is it unintentional?That crazy monk's eyes were as clear as a mirror, and when he looked directly at him, he always had the illusion of piercing his soul. I didn't believe in the ghosts and gods of Lao Shizi at first, and I never worshiped Buddha in the temple, but now that his soul has penetrated Zhou Xiaochuan, I can't help but understand what he has seen and heard in the past few months. I think so much."Who is that monk?" he muttered sub
