Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

These words made him flutter, and he didn't know the geometry of the world. took the thorn stickers at home, took twenty healthy servants, and set off for Xianghe with Chen Mingxia.

Along the way, he occasionally saw that the road was starving, and Zhou Jie said angrily: "The county order here should be killed." "

"What Brother Zhou said is yes, now the court is weak, all because the mediocre silverfish are in charge, the upper and lower effects, and the corpses of county officials in various places are vegetarian. Chen Mingxia also hated the enemy.

Zhou Jie listened to Chen Mingxia's impassionedness, and couldn't help but say, now it is the Donglin Party that is in power, and the power is for a while, these so-called mediocre silverfish do not know how many are Donglin Party members, and they nodded to cover up, but he remembered in his heart that his father told him: Today is suspicious and anxious, it is not a Ming Jun, and his grandfather was suddenly promoted to a high position, which may not be a blessing, you have to be closer to Donglin people, and your connections may be of little use in the future, just leave a way back.

He was quite unimpressed with his father's words, even if the emperor had just been imprisoned Yuan Chonghuan, but how could the surname Yuan be compared with his grandfather, a scholar who entered the cabinet, everyone said that his grandfather was about to become a man and a minister, and he was the first assistant, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, few of the first assistants have been convicted, and there is no such fallacy in the past hundred years.

The two of them couldn't find a post

house for them to settle down all the way, which was really unexpected, so that their group could only eat and sleep in the open air, and tortured the always delicate Zhou Gongzi into an inhuman shape, and the purple robe of the fairy fairy was dim, how could he bear it if he couldn't bathe for a few days, Zhou Gongzi finally became furious, and scolded the local sesame county order for dereliction of duty, the post Ding was timid and incompetent, and glared at Chen Mingxia angrily, and he wanted to speak several times and stopped, but in the end he still held back his mouth, but the meaning was very clear, it was Chen Mingxia who came up with this bad idea, causing him to go out of Beijing and suffer this crime。

In the face of Zhou Gongzi's wordless resentment, Chen Mingxia was aggrieved, in the war season, the post house was deserted, and the post man fled, he was not unaware, he rode a horse from Baoding into Beijing a year ago, and he saw a post along the way that no one took care of it, and the post was not taken seriously, and he was stunned when he left Beijing after the East Capture retreated, and the post house was unattended, and the wood inside was demolished by the Diao people, and a bonfire was burned for warmth, and there was no beam eaves, and the post house was like a pigsty that had been gnawed by dogs.

"These people. Chen Mingxia could only scold in his heart, these days, the wind in Beijing may have to use Zhou Yanru as the first assistant, and even the Donglin party members are privately confessing to their families and daughters to make good friends with the Zhou family, and the party fights for the party, and they only have political differences with their political enemies, and they have no personal grudges. He relied on the first strike to be strong, and made friends with Shousuke's grandson, and he was jealous and didn't know how many, and he had to gnash his teeth when he saw it. But he didn't feel proud for a few days, but his temper has risen a lot this week, and the hollow straw bales don't even take him seriously. Chen Mingxia was born in a famous family, and after a lot of scheming, he ended up helping idle lackeys, and he was depressed.

Xu is those people who have a good conscience, and some of the houses that do not see their owners are still complete with furniture, but Zhou Gongzi dislikes these small houses, and dogs are disgusted and unbearable, and would rather go to the open space to set up a tent than live in the house. The house slaves of the Zhou family are also loyal and commendable, and honestly accompany their masters to toss and suffer. Chen Mingxia refused to give in to accompany him, and found a slightly bright and clean room to live in, the Chen family's master and servant made the Zhou family slaves see it in their eyes, and they didn't like it in their hearts, and they couldn't help but secretly enter the villain's words in front of the master, and Chen and Zhou secretly had a dislike.

Fortunately, gradually to the

south, you can see that the place is far less fierce than the fire, passing by a few dock forts are people and buildings can be seen, with the two dignitaries to go in, the host is careless to entertain, eat and drink wine and food is not worried, Zhou Gongzi is in a good mood, and it is pleasing to the eye when he sees Chen Mingxia, so he is happy to go together.

After five days of stopping and stopping all the way, they came to the front of Xianghe County, where spring flowers are full of wilderness, the rising sun is in the sky, and the beautiful quiet and empty city is populated Even with a whip, he saw the haystack in front of the horse's hooves tumbling and shaking, accompanied by screams and begging for mercy, Chen Mingxia woke up to the fact that there were people hiding in the haystack at the head of the road, and he was horrified in his heart, and secretly thought: Isn't it the villain cat who wants to rob the road there, and he laughs in a flash, how can he have the reason to rob the road under the city, most of them are beggars. Disturbed by this, the masterpiece that had been called out disappeared without a trace, and I was very unhappy in my heart, and I was very unhappy to see the countless haystacks in front of me moving without wind, like a frightened group of living creatures.

Zhou Jieyou and Chen Mingxia were also frightened, and their expressions changed greatly, this is a collision with a large group of homeless people.

Worship Shaanxi and Gansu around the thieves are tired, now the word wanderer is almost a flood beast, there are rumors that the leader of the thief army named Wang Jiayin likes to eat the brain of a baby, a child is captured every day, buried in the soil pit under the neck to fill, only the head is exposed and the head is broken with a sharp cone, take an aloe vera and insert it into the suck, it is said that the child is suitable for fresh, if it is scared to death, it is not fresh, so I had to change it again, this kind of rumor can often make the child stop crying, if there is a naughty boy in any family, as long as the parents throw out a sentence Wang Jiayin to suck your brain, the naughty boy is immediately scared and dare not make trouble, these words have been spread in the market for a long time, that is, Chen Mingxia and Zhou Jie have such young scholars will also believe in doubt, unconsciously will emerge a proverb: no wind and no waves, who can say for sure.

"Those handfuls at the city gate look like soldiers, you go and explore. Zhou Jie had a male and female servant beside him, weak crown age, round face and red lips, white and tender, as if his identity was more noble than the rest of the servants, he took a step forward on his horse, pointed to the black and thin man on the left, and shouted.

"I, I'm not entangled with coils, in the past, wouldn't it be meat buns and dogs, if there is no return, then we will lose the coils. The thin black man said with a sad face.

"Dogs kill talents, you have horses, thieves want to kill you, won't you turn around and run, they look at the yellow muscles and thin muscles, they can't stand steadily, how can they catch up. Dare to talk more, watch your skin. The round-faced and red-lipped servant said angrily, and raised his whip.

The black, thin servant was still afraid of this man's might, so he was reluctant to beat his horse and approach the homeless, who seemed to be stung by the sound of the horse's hooves, and avoided one after another. Seeing this situation, Chen Mingxia was relieved and let out a long breath. It seems that these homeless people still have a sense of awe for the gentry, and they have not yet lost their humanity, they are extremely vicious, and they have completely degenerated into thieves.

Sure enough, the black and thin servant came back to report that tens of thousands of imperial troops were stationed in the city.

"Let's go into the city, it's getting late. Chen Mingxia said with a smile: "This city has just experienced a military disaster, and some refugees are no wonder. "

When Zhou Jie heard this, he also nodded, and led the way.

The group passed through the refugee pile, a foul smell hit, Zhou Jie coughed and wheezed again and again, and the round-faced and red-lipped servant scolded: "Hurry up and smoke, it's all dead people, son, let's wait a while, don't let this rush ruin your appetite." "

A servant at the back of the team was reminded, and hurriedly took out a fine copper wire ball from the horse bag, puffed his cheeks and blew the fire fold twice to roast, and a thick brown smoke line slowly hung down from the copper wire ball, and fell an inch to diffuse, this sandalwood was very strong, and the surrounding smell was all gone, only a faint fishy one.

Rushing in from the city gate, the horse team stepped out and rode out, but the name of the post between two fingers was raised in the air, and said: "This is my family's name post, take it, don't delay, ask your general to come and meet you quickly." "Although the soldiers don't know the rice calligraphy, they can't see it at a glance, they are soldiers, and they still know the mounts under the crotch of those people, they are all good horses, the horses are tall and have an extraordinary appearance, look at the coat color and fat round belly, you know that these good horses are usually pampered, but I am afraid that the grass and beans in the food trough of the animals are full, which is like their group of small soldiers, arrears for many years, and it is common for children and wives to starve to death when the family is interrupted, and this world is not as valuable as animals, especially not as good as the beasts of noble families. Seeing that the person who came was undoubtedly noble, a small general respectfully came up to take the name post, and his subordinates had already taken the reins of the horse, and he turned over and got on the horse to see his master going to go.

Before leaving, the villain listened to Mrs. Command, the commanders outside are all vulgar villains, villains are snobbish, and they have always respected Luo Yi and then respected people, we are not neatly dressed, which inevitably makes people look down on them, and find a place to take a bath, change into clean clothes, and then put on the gold silk cloak specially prepared by Mrs., so that those soldiers can open their eyes, and it will be a blessing. If no one next to the round-faced and red-lipped house slave said to the master, the latter was noncommittal, and Zhou Jieyou didn't think too much, but these words made the soldiers who led the horses listen to it, and his heart was very uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to attack, but he didn't dare to attack, and he buried his head and cursed secretly.

"Hey, take me to the richest man in the city, and the house will be vacated for us. The round-faced red-lipped house slave shouted to the horse-leading soldier. The little soldier probably didn't expect the person on the horse to say something to him abruptly, and still bowed his head and led the horse by himself.

This round-faced red-lipped slave is Zhou Li's right-hand man, who goes to the entertainment club on weekdays and waits for errands, is a decent slave who has seen the world, with his many years in the scholar circle, listening to the gossip of those noble masters, for a long time naturally understood the truth of the world, knowing that these soldiers and killing men look fierce, real pigs and dogs are generally not worthy, and when they see this Qiu Eight Thieves at their feet to kill them, they actually dare to ignore his question, and there is a rush of anger in his heart, and he raised his hand and gave a whip.

There was a crisp snap, and the little soldier stopped in pain, turned his head and glared at the rabbit master immediately, his eyes were suspicious, and then a trace of murderous aura flashed, and his eyes were like a blood-drinking blade with cold light.

"Bold, what do I ask you about, can you reply?" After that, he was whipped again, leaving a bloody mark on the little soldier's face, and then said: "You dare to stare at me, the dog's face is twitching, and say, isn't it, hum." The round-faced red-lipped house slave sneered hideously, this pig-like killing talent is also a bit bluffing, it is enough to deceive ordinary people, but where to bluff the master.

"Master, you're right, dog-faced, under-pumped, hehe. The people around noticed this dispute, and the soldiers looked at the round-faced and red-lipped house slaves with unkind expressions, and they all had cold faces and murderous expressions. I didn't want the little soldier to grin abruptly, the blood stains seeped blood through this grin, and the blood beads gradually plumped, and finally couldn't hang down the knife-like healthy cheeks, and disappeared into the cracks in the leather armor.

"Hmph. The round-faced and red-liped house slave didn't raise his eyelids, and sneered contemptuously, such Qiu Ba is really a cheap bone, and if he doesn't fight, he won't listen carefully.

But it was said that at the end of the county government hall, Zuo Liangyu sat in front of the public case, eating a little wine, and holding the glamorous and enchanting concubines left and right. Zuo Liangyu tasted a bite of the dish, and poked his greasy and fishy lips on the face of the beautiful concubine, making a crisp sound of "wave".

In the middle of the high music, the sound of hurried footsteps at the door came, and the soldiers came to report that the city gate was on duty today.

Zuo Liangyu frowned, suddenly looked around the hall, and felt lonely and depressed for a while, most of the people sent by the imperial court to take over the city had arrived, and the good days had finally come to an end. He went to touch the shocking wood, but grabbed a void, looked down and saw that the object was kicked to the corner of the wall at some point, this amazing wood did not know that it had been used by several county officials, the whole body was shiny and shiny, even if it fell into the dust and could not hide the noble color, it was different from ordinary wood squares.

Zuo Liangyu stared at the frightened wood in the corner of the wall, unconsciously hung up a cold face, and the cold air was suddenly filled, the two beautiful concubines on the left and right were secretly frightened when they saw it, and they didn't dare to move when they lowered their heads, this military leader is not the master of pity and cherishing jade, several sisters were tired of playing with it and gave them to the soldiers, and became a military prostitute, even if she was a congenitally strong girl, she could survive without being tossed to death, and there was nothing good to live, so what is the difference between death and death.

"Call him in. Zuo Liangyu said in a deep voice.

After a while, the young general on duty at the city gate came in, finished saluting, and handed over a post, saying: There is an official eunuch from the capital, I heard that the surname is Zhou.

"Zhou?" Zuo Liangyu thought about it, but he couldn't figure it out, he didn't have a backstage surnamed Zhou, but people from the capital could never slack off.
