Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 308

There were a few soldiers standing at the gate of the yamen, with disheveled clothes and messy knives and guns.Seeing someone approaching, several pairs of eyes were shining, looking up and down.Like a hungry tiger seeing a fat sheep, it reveals its greed all over.

Lin Shengyuan shrank his neck in fright, and approached Yuanwai Huang involuntarily.

After entering the Yamen, he was led to a hall by familiar soldiers.I went in and informed, and let Huang Yuanwai and Lin Shengyuan enter together.

Entering the gate of the hall, you can see an official sitting behind the desk inside, and a few officials handling documents are scattered around.The official was lying on the table, tearing up a roast chicken.Seeing Huang Yuanwai and Lin Shengyuan coming in, he raised his head suddenly.

Huang Yuanwai's heart trembled when he was watched by the official.Hastily took out an ingot of silver from his pocket, stepped forward and put it on the case.With a smile, he said: "Bo Jin took it to buy wine. I haven't come for many days, and I miss Bo Jin very much in my heart."

The official picked up the silver ingot and put it in his arms, his expression immediately softened.He smiled and said: "People around here, you are the most obedient, it is really unmatched by others! If anything happens, I will try my best to help you!"

Huang Yuanwai said: "The young one has been in Xiangcheng for a few days, and it is really difficult to endure. If there is a team going to Daming Mansion, Bo Jin will tell the general who leads the team, and the young one will go with him."

The official heard this and shook his head: "I told you a few days ago that the fourth prince brought an army west, you should stay in Xiangcheng first. If you are walking on the road, the fourth prince's people will see your cloth and say it is There is no way to justify the military supplies if they are taken away.”

Huang Yuanwai said: "I have heard these rumors for many days, could it be a misinformation? In less than a month, the young ones can go back to Daming Mansion."

The official said: "How could it be a misrepresentation? Do you think that traveling with an army is as easy as selling goods for you? To tell you the truth, the Fourth Prince's army has already set off, and now it is estimated that it will arrive in Suzhou. Now you are returning to Daming Mansion, just in time to meet you on the road! "

After hearing this, Huang Yuanwai complained.The army of Wushu came to the west and spread across several states.That's all for ordinary people. Huang Yuanwai, who brought a large amount of precious goods with him, dared not leave.He was bumped into by the army and robbed the goods, so he could only admit that he was unlucky.

Ask a few more questions.The official said: "If you don't believe me, you can ask the surrounding people. The fourth prince came to the west, and the king of the south did not dare to neglect his observation, so he also sent a large army to Ruzhou. In less than a month, the two armies will collide."

Huang Yuanwai heard this, and was stunned for a while before the case.After much deliberation, he had no choice but to leave the hall with Lin Shengyuan.

Walking on the street, Lin Shengyuan saw several groups of people on the side of the road, looking at him with extremely unfriendly eyes, he couldn't help feeling nervous.Two miles away is Xiangcheng County, where Wang Xiaohun's army is stationed, and the society is peaceful.But not far from the city, it is under the rule of the Jinren, with mixed fish and dragons, and the law and order is extremely chaotic.It's been a while since I've been in Xiangcheng, Lin Shengyuan has been here once since he first came here, and he doesn't dare to come here again.There was no other way today, and was pulled over by Huang Yuanwai.It took some days for the cloth to be transported to Xiangcheng, but it was too late to take shape. Huang Yuanwai was anxious.

After walking not far, I saw a wonton shop by the side of the road. Officer Huang said, "Let's have a bowl of wontons to fill our stomachs. After eating, I'll go find some familiar staff members and discuss with them what to do."

Lin Shengyuan said with a bitter face: "Outsiders, let's go back to the county quickly. I was walking on the road just now, and I looked at several groups of people. It seems that our vision is not good. The officials here only collect money. I heard that people on the street No one cares about killing people!"

Huang Yuanwai said: "You are so afraid of things, you don't know how you have spent the past few years when you left Kaifeng Mansion!"

Lin Shengyuan said: "At that time, there was no way. One day was one day. Of course, I didn't think too much about things. It's different now. I live a good life in Xiangyang, so how could I put myself in danger?"

Seeing that Lin Shengyuan refused no matter what, Huang Yuanwai had no choice but to go back to the county with him.At that time, send someone to invite these outsiders.In Xiangcheng County, it is safer.

When they arrived outside the county seat, Lin Shengyuan and Huang Yuanwai took out the documents and showed them to the officers guarding the city.The officer handed it back and said: "Commissioner, I heard that the Jin army has come to the west recently, and the north is not peaceful."

Huang Yuanwai sighed: "I've heard this for more than ten days, and I can't leave. I'm really anxious! Just now I heard from the person opposite that there is a fourth prince who brought an army of tens of thousands to the west."

The officer said: "The fourth prince of Wushu is coming from Zhenzhou to Luoyang. Wang Guan is afraid that he will not be good for Ruzhou, so he also raised his army and came north."

Member Huang was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Will there be a war then? Will there be a large army here in Xiangcheng?"

The officer said: "Xiangcheng is not on the way to Luoyang, so there will be no battles. However, the Jin army is coming to the west, stretching for more than a hundred miles, and the road to the north is temporarily impassable. You can live in Xiangcheng for a while without worrying about it. .”

Member Huang sighed: "That's the way it is. It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I can't go home for a reunion."

After finishing speaking, he entered Xiangcheng County together with Lin Shengyuan.Huang Yuanwai is a businessman who has been abroad for many years, and he is a well-rounded person. He has a bad relationship with these officers and soldiers guarding the city, and he can always get the latest news.

Back at the inn, Lin Shengyuan said: "Mr. Wai, when you see that you are back in the Song Dynasty, you feel at ease. On the other side, walking on the street makes you feel anxious. I look at the idlers on the side of the road and look at us with frightening eyes." !"

Huang Yuanwai said: "You have been living in peace for a long time, and you are scaring yourself! There are many people on the other side, and they are still alive!"

Lin Shengyuan said: "Brother, if there is a way, everyone will come to the city to live, which one will be there? Those who are there are either not good people in the first place, or people who have to go to do business."

Huang Yuanwai didn't bother with this matter.Sitting down on a stool, he bowed his head in thought.This time I was unlucky, as soon as the cloth was delivered, I ran into Wushu Xilai.The army of this era should not be underestimated, especially the Jin army.Unlucky, the goods were spotted by them and they took them away directly.If the luck is even worse, he will be charged with a crime, and even his life will be lost.Wu Shu is the fourth prince, and his subordinates are even more arrogant.

After thinking for a long time, Huang Yuanwai sighed: "I have no choice but to stay in Xiangcheng for a while."

Lin Shengyuan hurriedly said: "How is this possible? It was agreed at the time that when the goods arrive in Xiangcheng, I will take the money and go back to Xiangyang. If I don't go back here, my daughter at home will be so worried! We, father and daughter, depend on each other for life, but this can't be the case! "

Officer Huang said: "If the goods don't go out, I won't be able to get the payment. Do you think I'm the only one doing this business? If you want to go back, don't take the money for now, and wait until the next time I come to pay for it!"

How can Lin Shengyuan agree?I do business with Huang Yuanwai this time to make money.I can't make money, and I wasted dozens of days. How can I explain it when I go home?They argued a few words there, and seeing that Huang Yuanwai really couldn't afford the money, he had to agree to live together.

In the next room, a man's ear was pressed against the wall.A man next to him was sitting at the table, eating a plate of meat and two radishes, drinking there.

After a while, the man by the wall straightened up.Said: "Stop over there, it seems that there is nothing to say."

The man who was drinking said: "Their batch of goods is worth tens of thousands of dollars, which is not a small amount. That Huang Yuanwai hasn't received the payment yet, how can he be willing? I don't believe they can wait here!"

The other man smiled and said, "It seems that Lin Yuanwai from Xiangyang can't wait any longer. He just wants money and wants to go back to Xiangyang."

The drinking man said: "This is the best. Wait for two more days, let's think of a way to let this Huang Yuanwai obediently follow us!"
