Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 533
When the boat approached Wucheng, the waterway traffic became more frequent. The four or five boats in Wang Bin's party were actually blocked on the water surface, and it was difficult to enter the water fence ahead, and it was difficult to reach the shore at all.Unavoidably, he became even more anxious, and asked someone to take a sampan ashore to deliver a letter to Wuxing County Mansion, and at the same time, asked someone to hold his warrant to find the official in charge on the pier to appease him.

Not long after, the subordinates who were going to the pier returned first, followed by a fat black-robed official behind.The official boarded the ship, saw the ceremonial flag set up on the ship, and saw Wang Bin in a Chinese robe surrounded by a group of powerful slaves on the deck. At the end, it was full of strong Wu sounds.

Although Wang Bin didn't know Wu dialect, he had been in Jiangdong for a long time, and he could probably understand what the official said, but he was too lazy to respond, and just pretended not to understand, and said: "Go and invite Kong Lang, this Wu speech is like a wild pheasant. Noisy, who can understand!"

When the surrounding attendants heard this, they all snickered. Although the Wu official could only speak Wu dialect, he could understand Luo Yin. After hearing the words, his expression changed, and he stood up, no longer performing rituals. , just looking at the river, with a distant look.

"Ha, this raccoon is not lacking in bones, but after all, it is wild and unruly, far away from the fun."

Standing behind his father, Wang Pengzhi looked at the impolite attitude of the official, and couldn't help laughing and teasing: "I want to see how panicked he will be if he knows who is in front of him."

"He can be a little bit polite about the bad customs in the distant country."

Although the official's eyes were rude, Wang Bin didn't bother to care about it. Seeing Kong Hun coming in a hurry, he pointed at him and said, "The raccoon's words are obscure and difficult to understand. Kong Lang, you come and tell this countryman to clear the waterway and release the boat." Enter the gate."

Kong Hun's expression changed when he heard this, it's nothing more than the cold treatment he received all the way, but it's too much to be humiliated after approaching the village!Although there was resentment in his heart, it was his choice to serve as Wang Bin's official, so he could only endure this resentment, and went forward to whisper a few words to the official, and then turned around, with a somewhat embarrassed expression: It is difficult for this official to do what you ordered. The ferry in front of us is privately owned and not owned by the county, so he is just collecting the shipping tax on behalf of the county government, and has no job of supervising transportation."

When Wang Bin heard this, his face changed slightly. Looking around at the crowded scene of boats, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Who would dare to covet private property in such a thoroughfare with so many boats and intersections of water and network?"

"It's the mansion of Princess Danyang."

Kong Hun said helplessly.

After Wang Bin heard the words, he sneered again and again: "The Shen family is so powerful, the Princess Danyang's mansion is so powerful! So blatantly devouring the country's mountains and rivers, is it true that there are no righteous people in this humble village who dare to speak up for the country?"

When the official on the opposite side heard this, his expression became angry, and he opened his mouth to speak urgently.

Wang Bin asked Kong Hun to translate, just to humiliate him, he himself can understand Wu dialect, but he only heard the official say that this ferry is originally a tidal flat, and the bamboo is difficult to walk, but it is the county led by the Shen family. The township clans have contributed their efforts to dredging and opening up, so that the current smooth waterway has become, which has nothing to do with the national use.Now the county government has to rely on these waterway navigation taxes instead to benefit from it and use it to fund Taiwan.

Wang Bin didn't believe a single word of this sophistry, he never believed that Shen's deep-rooted, short-sighted person would actually do such a thing that benefited the country and the people.However, he didn't bother arguing with the official, he just turned around and said with a smile to Cao Man: "Hearing this cunning and vulgar words, you can know how corrupt the local customs are! When I see Xie Youru later, I will ask him. Changzhi is useless, whose fault is it?"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the cabin, as for the officials, he didn't let him go, he just let the entourages be imprisoned in the corner of the deck, as witnesses to taunt Xie Po later.

The official's eyes were bound for no reason, and his expression was dispirited. He just shouted at Kong Hun: "I am humbled to accept the post, and the superior has never been humiliated. How can I be so oppressive when I pass by a distinguished guest on this way! Master Kong Family, what is the meaning of this?"

When Kong Hun heard this, he couldn't help but have a hard time answering. He wanted to step forward to make a rescue, but Wang Pengzhi shouted from behind: "If Kong Jun is talking about his hometown friendship, he will have a lot of leisure later, but now he is disturbing you. You have plenty of leisure." Affection."

After Kong Hun heard this, he looked at Wang Pengzhi coldly. He is Wang Bin's subordinate, so there is no need to look at this idler. cabin.

Wang Bin was in the cabin beating and scolding the traitors of the Shen clan for their madness and greed. When he saw Kong sneaking into the cabin, he pointed at him and said, "What you saw today, is Kong Lang ashamed? Do you feel heartbroken when you are raging in the middle of the world without doing anything?"

When Kong Hun heard this, no matter how much he could tolerate it, he couldn't help bursting into flames, and said indifferently: "Your talents are shallow and humble, and you don't dare to talk about official affairs lightly. Wu Township may have strange customs, but after all, it is the realm of kings." Compared with the chaos of jackals and wolves in the north, it is still Jing'an. If you come from far away, it is difficult to get close to the local customs for a while, but after a long time, you may be able to communicate."

Hearing Wang Bin's lofty attitude and many base words to attack the local people, Kong Hun couldn't help but think back to his son-in-law's scolding of Yin Rong, Dajue scolded his heart.These beggars, one by one, regard themselves as their destiny, and they have to force people to go to the north and south. They are dissatisfied with Jiangdong, and the old dogs bark, which is really disgusting!
Hearing Kong Hun's rebuttal, Wang Bin's face immediately turned down, and he said coldly: "What Kong Lang said to me seems to be different?"

Cao Man saw that each other was about to speak ill of each other, so he quickly laughed and said: "The envoy is only a gimmick for a while, why should Kong Cheng make it true? It is because he is from a far away country that he needs someone like Kong Cheng who knows the local conditions to serve as the prime minister. State affairs are also good for the country.”

Kong Hun just stood there indifferently and did not respond.

Wang Bin's expression was uncertain during the banquet, and he forced a smile after a while and said, "Living in a narrow village for a long time, one cannot help being narrow-minded. It's just a small talk, so there's no need to force your voice."

Even though he said this on his mouth, he was even more disgusted in his heart.If it wasn't for him still relying on the other party, he would be expelled from the ship now.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the entourage who went to Wucheng County also returned, but brought a member of the county government to report that Xie Po was not in the county, but went to Jiaxing to build a mud pond to prevent thieves.Because every year during the autumn harvest, there will always be a small group of Jie slaves across Hainan to harass coastal counties.If you go to notify now, you will have to wait a day or two at the earliest before returning.

When Wang Bin heard this, he couldn't help becoming more irritable, and he just said bitterly: "Xie Youru has a clear name, but he is also a swindler who has lightly changed his ways. "

He felt that it was impossible for such a coincidence, and Xie Po must have been afraid of Shen's family prestige, so he avoided seeing him.

Xie Po didn't want to see each other, Wang Bin naturally wouldn't lower himself to beg for a meeting, and let the official be whipped and kicked off the boat, but he could only survive the incident by being trapped on the water until midnight. A busy ferry.

Going south and crossing Longxi, they passed Wukang, the headquarters of the Shen family.There are not too many cargo ships swarming here, but you can have a glimpse of the pastoral scenery.

Now the early rice is newly ripe, and the autumn harvest has just begun.On the waterway, there are large areas of fertile land on both sides of the river, the waves of yellowish rice rise and fall with the wind, and the rich rice fragrance makes people feel drunk.Between the ridges of the fields, there are many short-brown villagers in groups, carrying iron scythes to harvest and work in the fields.Occasionally stopping for a short rest, some villagers would sing loudly with great interest, with a mellow breath and a brisk Wu tune, which would make those who heard it very happy.

Originally this was supposed to be an extremely peaceful picture of a bumper harvest, but in the eyes of the resentful Wang Bin, he didn't feel happy, but was even more disgusted: "The Hunu wolves in the north are tyrannizing, trampling on China, the king's way is peaceful, and the old industry is dusty. Raccoons outside the country don't feel the danger of the country, but they are buried in the countryside, working hard and enjoying themselves, it is really disgusting!"

Kong Hun is already somewhat immune to Wang Bin's daily routine of corrupting the Wu people.Ever since passing through Wucheng, seeing the prosperity and prosperity of Wu Township, Wang Bin seems to have fallen into a certain state of anxiety, and every time he sees a new thing, he always depreciates it.

Although he doesn't contradict face to face, every time he hears something new, there is no lack of slander in his heart.Is it the crime of the Wu people that the Hunu wolf abused and trampled on China?

The Wu people have always been regarded as the evil barbarians who have subjugated the country, even if they, the Kong family, have no precedent in China and North Korea, they are often excluded.If the people of Wu were really against Wang Hua, how could they give these swindlers a chance to survive by crossing the river under the guise of the king's order?We should lock up Hengjiang and kill them all!

In fact, Kong Hun has already regretted seeking to be Wang Bin's subordinate after traveling so far.He even has no lack of daydreams, hoping that there will be a brave man among the Wu people, who will go north to break the slaves, and then he will surely follow him. !
Traveling south to the vicinity of Yuhang, the waterways and boats are even more crowded.Although Xie Bunren didn't see it, he sent a warrant from the county government.Originally, Wang Bin didn't bother to use it, but when he got here, he realized that with his Wang family's reputation and the internal history warrant that had not yet officially taken office, it was simply impossible for him to do anything.Only by taking out Xie Po's warrant, can he borrow the special waterway of Wuxing County Mansion in a timely manner, and it can be regarded as leaving Wuxing County, otherwise he can only abandon the ship and go ashore.

When the boat passed Yuhang Zhou City, seeing the prosperous scene of thousands of sails competing and rare feet of waves, the group of people couldn't help being dumbfounded, even Kong Hun couldn't help it.He hasn't returned to his hometown for just a few years, and he really can't imagine that the hometown is so prosperous!
However, seeing Wang Bin and others was only astonished, Kong Hun finally seized an opportunity, and said with a smile: "Wuzhong has ample water network, and boats are used as car dealers. This situation in the village is already normal. I don't know if there will be a grand occasion in the village. Biyu Sijing?"

This sentence was originally a sentence that Wu Ren went to the north to make things difficult for him, but when he said it from Kong Hun's mouth, he felt very happy, and even gave birth to a sense of pride in his hometown!
After Wang Bin heard the words, he just snorted coldly and didn't answer.But Wang Pengzhi next to him couldn't bear it, and said with a sneer, "During the Taikang period, thousands of sails were sailing across the river, and the sword was used to destroy Wu. Isn't it better than this?"

"In the Yongjia period, thieves and slaves made troubles, and the tide of the people stopped, and they ran poorly."

Accumulated a lot of resentment along the way, near the homeland, Kong Hun really couldn't stand being ridiculed by words every day, and couldn't help retorting.He had even made up his mind that even if he hated Wang Bin even more because of this, it would be better to abandon his official position and return to his hometown to live in seclusion than to be intruded by evil words in his ears every day.

If it was in the past, Wang Bin would have been unable to hold back when he heard Kong Hun's ruthless ridicule, but Yuhangzhou City is so prosperous that it has surpassed his previous cognition and imagination of Wuzhong, so he was in a bad mood. I can't help but feel heavy, and feel that this trip may encounter many unexpected things.I fell into deep thought for a while, and didn't have the heart to interfere in the debate of the younger generation.

The ship stayed in Yuhang for one day, and then crossed Zhejiang to reach Xiling on the second day.After recuperating overnight, Wang Bin's mood improved. The most intuitive manifestation was that he began to complain about the rudeness of the Kuaiji, and he still didn't come to greet him.

A group of people disembarked at Xiling, Wang Bin first sent his subordinates to report to Shanyin, and then led a team of hundreds of people to Shanyin slowly.

After traveling for more than half a day, at dusk, Wang Bin was about to order the magistrate of Xiling County to take a rest at the nearby manor when he suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly.Not long after, hundreds of knights appeared on the ramp ahead, galloping towards here.

Seeing the changes in the faces of the attendants, Wang Bin said with a smile: "There is no need to put more galloping horses in the densely covered land of Tuling, ditches and ponds. Raccoons are clumsy for military use, and they are easy to do wrong. It is really tempting to use this to frighten me." It’s just a joke. But since we’ve already arrived, it saves us the trouble of staying overnight.”

When everyone heard this, they all felt relieved. Young people like Wang Pengzhi had already started laughing and teasing about the lawlessness of the Wu people's cavalry formation.They may not be good at military strategy, but it is an indisputable fact that raccoon dogs are not good at riding, and there is nothing wrong with it.

After a while, the cavalry had rushed to the front. The first person to dismount was a middle-aged man, wearing a cloth robe over the light armor. Come to welcome Wang Shijun."

"Where is Shen Shiju, why doesn't he come?"

Surrounded by his personal entourage, Wang Bin stepped forward and asked.

He Xi frowned slightly when he heard this, not to mention that Shen Chong was originally a Shangguan, how could he have the reason to go out of Guo to meet his subordinates!Wang Bin's words alone revealed his arrogance. Even when Wang Dun was alive, Wang's soldiers were half overwhelmed in Jiangdong, and Wu people turned a blind eye.What kind of thing is he, Wang Shiru?
Although he was not angry, He Xi still said patiently: "The bandits and bandits are running rampant in the territory, and the emperor is in charge of the army to suppress the bandits. I am not in the process of governance. I hope you will forgive me for being rude."

When Wang Bin heard this, he couldn't help laughing. What about suppressing bandits, he was clearly ruthless and soft-hearted, so he avoided seeing him.But others have already come, how long can we avoid it?Could it be that during his days in Shanyin, Shen Chong wandered outside all day and never returned to town?That would save him a lot of work.

Thinking of this, Wang Bin said with a smile: "The folk customs in this village are hard to tame, so Taichung asked me to share the labor with Shen Shiju. Since he is away, I don't have to go to Shanyin, but go to reward the army first. I don't know if the army is here now. Where? Is there any danger?"

Shen Chong wanted to avoid him, but he couldn't avoid it. He wanted to see how vicious the old official Jiu Ba was now.

After He Xi heard the words, he said with a smile: "The military situation is dangerous, and I advise you not to rush. The bandits are in Xin'an in the west of Zhejiang Province, and Shen Shijun is gathering all the six armies to hunt down the bandits, and he has no time to take care of him. .”

There was no shortage of teasing smiles on Wang Bin's face, but when he heard He Xi's words, the smile suddenly froze on his face.Suppressing bandits in western Zhejiang?What kind of gangster deserves tens of thousands of elite troops to encircle and suppress?What bandit is this suppressing?It is clear that the heavy army is going to Jiangzhou to fight!

Then he saw that although He Xi stepped forward, the distance was still a few feet away. As for the hundreds of knights, they did not dismount, but put on a charge!This is not to greet him, it is clearly to intimidate him!He could no longer imagine that if Shen Chong really went to the west of Zhejiang Province to fight Wang Shu from Jiangzhou, what would happen to meet him when he went south happily this time!

"I'm not going to Shanyin, I'll go to West Zhejiang first!"

Before he had time to think about it, Wang Bin lost his composure. He turned his head and ran towards the followers, shouting loudly while running.
