Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 46 Accident
Jishui is one of the Sidu, which was one of the four largest rivers in the world during the Sui Dynasty.

The Yellow River, Yangtze River, Huai River, and Jishui, Jishui is second only to the Huangjiang River and Huaihe River, which shows the reputation of this river at this time.There are big rivers, and natural shipping is convenient.

This river is in front of Wang Bo's house, so it brings him great convenience in going in and out.Especially sailing from the water can avoid many eyes, bring more concealment, and the speed is faster.

And behind Wang Bo's house is Changbai Mountain, which is a big mountain that connects several counties in Qi County. It is called Xiaotai Mountain, which shows how big Changbai Mountain is.

Backed by such a large mountain, it is the easiest way to hide people's dirt.

Luo Feng and the others came this time by land and on horseback, but actually it was a relatively slow route.From Licheng, you can take a boat down the Jishui River to Zouping.

The closer he got to Qingyang Manor, Luo Feng gradually discovered that there were many attentions on the road.

Those people might be selling tea at roadside stalls, or they might be fishermen and ferrymen by the river, or they might be working in the fields or herding cattle at the foot of the mountain, but the feeling told Luo Feng that these people paid too much attention to them. Passers-by.

"Second brother, do you feel it?"

Qin Qiong nodded, "It's a little unusual."

His expression became a little heavy. He stayed in Qi County for 20 years, and then served as a soldier in Weifu for two years. His intuition was also keen. He had already discovered that after stepping into Qingyang Village, things changed very differently.

But he still doesn't want to believe that Wang Bo is Zhi Shilang.

"drive!"

Qin Qiong hurried on, he couldn't wait to see Wang Bo, and asked him what was going on in person.

Near the farm, but faintly heard the sound of drums.

Luo Feng reined in his horse and stopped, and asked a young sheep herder by the side of the road.

"What's the matter with Zhuangzi blowing and blowing?"

"The old owner has passed away, and he is doing his own business."

After hearing this, Qin Qiong urged the horse to speed up even more.

When everyone came to Zhuangkou, they saw that Zhuangzi had built a shed, and there were many drummers sitting in front of the door, playing and playing.

In front of the village, many people lined up there.

Sure enough, it was a pretense to do funeral affairs, and many people came to pay tribute to the funeral.

"Hey, this Wang Bo is very popular, so many people come to express their condolences."

Qin Qiong said, "Brother Wang has always been generous, generous, and easy to make friends. Whenever a friend has something to do, he is willing to help him. Once there was a poor neighbor in their village. Even though Brother Wang knew that he had no money at the time, he immediately gave his farm cattle to that neighbor to sell to bury his father."

"If anyone is in a hurry, ask Brother Wang for help. Regardless of whether you are familiar with him or not, Brother Wang will always be eager to help raise funds. It is for this reason that Brother Wang has always had a good reputation and a wide network of contacts. Now that his father passed away, so many people came Condolences are no surprise."

Luo Feng went over to inquire, and it turned out that the old owner was Wang Bo's uncle, and he just passed away last night, right after they set off.

This is really a coincidence.

Qin Qiong came to the gate of the village and took out a silver collar. This was Zhang Xutuo's funds for Luo Feng and the others to handle the case. He gave a total of two silver collars, each worth five taels.

"Qin Qiong, Licheng, Qi County, condolences to the old owner, and have a good journey."

When such a large piece of silver collar was placed on the table, the people in charge of bookkeeping couldn't help being shocked.

Such a large silver collar looks at least five taels, which is more than 2 yuan when converted into meat. If it is exchanged for the current white money, it will cost more than 3 to nearly [-] yuan.

This is really a big deal.

"It turned out to be Brother Qin from Licheng. I thanked you in advance on behalf of my uncle. My uncle told me earlier that the old man passed away at his seventieth birthday, and he went to enjoy the blessings. The Wang family is very grateful to the neighbors for being able to come and see him off." Gift money from friends cannot be accepted, so I just write down a name here, and I will thank you one by one in the future."

Luo Feng over there had just taken out two slings of money, but after hearing what the man said, it was not easy to hand over the money.

Judging from the scale of the Wang family's estate, they are indeed not short of money, and so many people came to express their condolences, and they did not confiscate a penny of gift money.

While talking here, a person came over from the door over there, and rushed over immediately when he saw Qin Qiong.

"Second brother, why are you here?"

Qin Qiong saw it, but he was also an acquaintance.But this man is also Wang Bo's nephew. Wang Bo was with him when he was a law officer in Qi County. He is about the same age as Qin Qiong, so he is very familiar with him.

"A few days ago, I asked for leave to go back to my hometown to visit my mother. I happened to have some time off, so I thought about coming to Zouping to visit Brother Wang. Unexpectedly, the old man passed away just in time."

"The old man passed away very peacefully. He was free of illness and pain. He left as soon as he said he would. My uncle said that this is the end of his life, and he has gone to heaven to enjoy the blessings. We are celebrating and mourning. Everyone should be happy. Second brother, you Don't be sad either, the old man was used to living a hard life when he was young, but it gets better after he is middle-aged, and he has really enjoyed the blessings of ten years when he is old, and he will not lose money in this life."

Wang Bo's father died early, and when he was young, he was often orphaned and widowed by his uncles and others in the clan.Later, when Wang Bo became successful, he did not forget the kindness he had done back then, and took care of his uncle like a father.

"Uncle will be happy if he knows you're here. Come on, I'll take you in."

Wang Bo's nephew led Qin Qiong and others into the village and arrived at the mourning hall inside.

Qin Qiong and Luo Feng went up to worship first.

"Shubao, you're here."

Wang Bo came over dressed in sackcloth and filial piety.

"Brother Wang, I didn't expect the old man to leave."

"It's nothing. I passed away in my 70s. I didn't suffer from any illness. I went to enjoy my life."

Luo Feng secretly looked at Wang Bo.

The owner of the Wang Zhuang is about forty years old this year. He is tall and burly, but his skin is rough and his hands and feet are thick. He looks like an old farmer, and his face is very kind. It is hard to imagine that such a person, He actually went from being a blacksmith to being a facao, and it was even more unexpected that he would be the first in history to raise the banner of anti-Sui.

"Brother Wang, this is my aunt's cousin Luo Wu, from Zhangqiu."

Wang Bo turned his head and nodded to Luo Feng, "My brother is from Zhangqiu? What do you do for a living?"

"Brother Wang, my family is also at the foot of Changbai Mountain. Our Luo family has been farming for generations. In addition, we have some ancestral blacksmithing skills. We farm when we are busy and forge iron when we are free. We can barely make ends meet."

Wang Bao hummed, "The world is getting more and more difficult. When the emperor was first established, the people could still have enough to eat, but now it is getting more and more difficult. The hard labor is hard, and the people can't live in peace."

While talking, Wang Bo invited people to a side hall.

The host and guest sat down and served tea again.

Originally, Qin Qiong wanted to ask Wang Bo directly in person, but now that the Wang family is having a big funeral, Qin Qiong didn't know how to speak to Wang Bo who was wearing sackcloth and filial piety.
