Fleeing the wasteland and farming: don't panic, the family's metaphysics boss

Chapter 234 Rumor has it that a master
Su Zhen and Yan He reported the matter of Tongyuan honestly.There are a total of 540 tax evaders. The number of years of tax evasion ranges from one year to 13 years.

When Cao Shen first heard about this, although his face was livid, he didn't get angry when he heard that the two had settled the matter and recovered the deed tax and the fine. He just reprimanded the two and fined them for three months salary.

After Su Zhenyan and the two finished their reports, Wei Pingxiao also reported the crimes and sentences of Chai Biao and the other three. The three of them asked about beheading in the autumn, which aroused the discussion in the whole city for a while.

On this day, Su Zhenyan and his host invited Wei Pingxiao to have dinner at Fengle Building.

The three of them were arranged in the private room on the third floor, and Su Zhencai started the conversation after Xiao Er finished serving the meals and left.

"In Tongyuan's case, if there was no Brother Wei, Brother Yan and I would not have been fined for three months. So we both have to respect Brother Wei for three glasses of wine."

Yan and Su raised their glasses, and Wei Pingxiao smiled helplessly: "You are welcome, no one is unlucky. Luck is such a wicked thing. When you should suffer, you will suffer; It's fine with eyes closed.

The two of you are out of danger this time, which means that your fate should not be met. "

Yan He thought of another incident, "Speaking of which, you all know Liu Jian in the water transport. He is also very adventurous this month. He almost killed the whole family." He made a "cut" action, did not make it clear, but Wei Su The two understood.

"Oh? What happened?" Su Zhen asked in surprise.

Wei Pingxiao also put down his wine glass curiously and listened carefully.

Yan He then slowly said, "It happened more than ten days ago. Isn't Mingzhou now at war with Quguo? The two sides have spent more than half a year. Although Quguo didn't eat Mingzhou, Mingzhou's food and grass I can't hold it any longer, so I ask for our support.

Mingzhou is adjacent to Yinzhou, and Mingzhou is broken, and then we are Yinzhou. There is no reason for the state shepherd not to support it, so I borrowed 10 stone grain and [-] taels of silver salary from Mingzhou, because time is tight, He ordered Liu Jian to travel by water. "

Wei Pingxiao was taken aback, "Why have you never heard of such a big event?"

"Hey, how can this matter be spread indiscriminately. If it gets to the ears of the enemy country and turns around to attack us, wouldn't it be asking for trouble. So no one knows about this matter except Liu Jian."

"Then how did you know?" Su Zhen couldn't help being surprised.

Yan He gave him an annoyed look, "My nephew works in water transport, he just told me about it the day before yesterday."

"And then?" Wei Pingxiao asked after taking a bite of the dish.

Yan and Su Zhen also ate a few mouthfuls of food and drank a couple more mouthfuls of wine, before Yan He continued: "Water transportation always takes the official route, and it is reasonable to use the official route this time. However, Liu Jian temporarily changed the route and left. Minlu."

Su Zhen was surprised again, "Min Road? Isn't that the way traders and small boats go? It is narrow and curved, with high mountains and steep slopes on both sides. How can a big boat go? And isn't Min Road always full of water thieves? How dare he go?" Minlu?"

"That's why he avoided a disaster." Yan He leaned back on the table and lowered his voice a bit, "Last month, Liu Jian found a fortune teller. If the fortune teller comes to him, he will be in great trouble this month." , gave him an idea, let him 'overcome it with danger'."

"Take risks? What do you mean?" Wei Pingxiao couldn't help asking.

"Water roads, official roads and civilian roads, under normal circumstances, Liu Jian must choose the official road and take the private road. For him, that is 'dangerous'. It is not easy to travel, and the civilian road is also full of water. Thief, he was transporting food, grass, and military pay to Mingzhou to save lives, so there should be no risk at all, so going the civilian route is a 'risk'.

The magic calculation, let Liu Jian "survive it with danger", in fact, let him follow the path of the people instead of the path of the government.Because on the official road, there are even bigger disasters waiting for him. "

Su Zhen hissed, feeling unbelievable, "Does Liu Jian really believe it? He was transported with food and military pay, and if something happened, it would be a crime of robbery and beheading. He gave the lives of his family to a fortune teller? "

"But in the end, it was because of this fortune teller that he saved his life." Yan He continued:

"In short, Liu Jian listened to the fortune teller and walked down the road. I heard that several times the bow of the boat was caught in the bend of the mountain and couldn't get out, so he asked Liu Jian to lead someone to chisel the mountain.

I also encountered a few small waves of water thieves, but those were not successful, so the things were finally shipped out smoothly. "

Wei Pingxiao couldn't help but nodded, "That really shouldn't happen to him."

"No." Yan He said again: "If there is no fortune-teller, Liu Jian will definitely lose his family's life on this trip, not to mention his entire family.

That day the fortune teller told Liu Jian that there was trouble in the official way, and Liu Jian was also smart, so what trouble could there be in the official way?The left and right are spacious, there is no possibility of landslides, and it is not raining now, and it is impossible to flood, so there is only one possibility, water thieves.

He guessed that the news might have leaked, otherwise, how dare the water thief go to the officialdom, they must be eyeing him.So Liu Jian went to the civilian road by himself, and sent another thousand sea soldiers to the official road to encircle and suppress the water pirates, lest the water pirates turn around and chase him on the civilian road.

Do you know how many water thieves there are? "

When Su Zhen heard this, he already felt weird, "How many can there be? It's impossible to be full of officials."

Yan He chuckled: "It's really full of officialdom. There are hundreds of pirate ships, big and small, and I don't know where so many water pirates come from. They are all lying in ambush in the middle of the river. What kind of guns, arrows, and fire? Very well prepared.

Think about it, if Liu Jian enters the ambush circle, how can he survive?

Fortunately, the [-] sailors were informed of the danger in advance. As soon as they entered the encirclement, they quickly turned around and retreated, and then called another [-] sailors. The two sides fought for three days and three nights before the pirates abandoned the ship. escape. "

Su Zhen suddenly opened his mouth, "No wonder I heard the faint sound of cannons some time ago. I almost thought Yinzhou was about to go to war."

Wei Pingxiao also looked surprised, "In this way, the fortune teller really saved Liu Jian."

"Really, that fortune teller is really good, and I've inquired about it. Many people like you and me are queuing up to ask him to tell their fortunes."

"Line in line? What's the meaning of this?" Su Zhen asked.

Yan He smiled helplessly: "I'm afraid it's an expert's eccentricity. The rule is that only one person is counted in a month. It was the first time he showed up at the birthday banquet of Cao Zhang Dongli. I heard that Zhang Dongli was also favored by him, so I treated him right at the birthday banquet." He was very respectful."

Wei Pingxiao was silent for a while, and suddenly his scalp became numb, "Zhang Dongli, didn't Duan Li's incident almost cause him to be executed all over the house? Fortunately, he was seriously ill at that time, so that disaster was avoided. How many people laughed and said Although he was ill, he was blessed by misfortune."

That incident was also spread in Yinzhou official circles, and Su Zhen also knew that when Wei Pingxiao mentioned it, he also exclaimed, "Could it be that the fortune teller helped him resolve the disaster?"

Yan He was also stunned, and after a while, he said in surprise: "I think it's true, don't you think it's the same as Liu Jian's 'conquer with danger'? Although Zhang Dongli was ill, he avoided disaster. "

All three of them opened their mouths in astonishment. They had never heard of a fortune teller who was so amazing.Su Zhen was the first to come back to his senses, and immediately said: "Who is the fortune teller? He is so amazing, so let's find him to figure it out. Look at Tongyuan, how dangerous it is, and even think about it."

Yan He said again: "I heard that this month is for a book assistant in the Cao Yamen. That expert only tells fortunes in the official residence, and only once a month. I'm afraid I have to go to the book assistant's house to see it. And to find this expert fortune-telling, you have to queue up."

"Then what are you waiting for, eat quickly, and ask after you finish eating." Su Zhen hurriedly picked up the food.
