The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 111 Mutual Computation
In the night, Changyuan County is like a sleeping beast, lying on the bank of Jishui River.

Ergou and the big family lived in the Guanshe Inn together. The difference is that the big family lived almost free of charge, but Ergou spent a full ten thousand yuan (equivalent to a cow). His official identity document, but Ergou only has business quotations as evidence.

In essence, the money that Ergou paid actually included the living expenses of the big family's house.

If there is no Ergou to stay together, then the other party will inevitably pay a part of the fare, but with Ergou as a "merchant" being taken advantage of, the official house stewards will naturally squeeze and exploit, not only to please the passing guests, but also to themselves. Can make a small fortune.

Don't make a fuss, this is the unspoken rule of most of the official residences and inns in the Song Dynasty, but many real merchants are still willing to do so.

As a "fake merchant", Ergou was naturally not that mean-spirited, but he was never angry either.

According to Master Lu's words, all the gifts given by fate have already been secretly priced.

Ergou seemed to be eating and drinking carelessly in the Guanshe Inn. When it was time to sleep and play, he didn't look a trace of sadness.

The slave of the wealthy family occasionally saw Ergou enjoying and drinking hot food there, and he felt quite unhappy. He went straight to his master and said: "In the yamen, just now I bumped into the horse seller. How arrogant! We took our gold and ate and drank excessively. We ate the tender chicken, fat goose, and fresh fish whole, and drank large bowls of jade wine and fine wine. The little one felt a little suffocated when he saw it. remove!"

The yameni looked like a frail scholar, with a human-like appearance and a very handsome appearance. Even in the city of Tokyo, people would praise him for his good looks.He was the only one who heard the words of his servant. Although he did not speak, his expression was a little worried, and the book in his hand was wrinkled.

The servant was an observant person. How could he not know that his master was angry? Take it and punish him with the crime of stealing? My old husband is serving in the civil service department in the capital, so I think coming to the local magistrate will give the yamen some face."

Jun Scholar's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he only thought about it for a while, but shook his head and said, "That's not right! That thief was so flamboyant along the way, I don't know how many people saw it. The local magistrate is not my father's protégé friend, so he If it is to help me, I am afraid that it will be limited. At most, he will be punished for the crime of theft and sent to the army. Even if he pays me some gold and silver, it will also leave more troubles.

This time I came to Beijing under the shade to take up a job, so I have to act cautiously, so I can't leave future troubles and give others a handle.We must be patient for the time being and wait until we can get past Jishui, which is Fengqiu County. The magistrate of Fengqiu is my father's disciple, and the county captain is my elder brother. When we stay there, we directly take the guy and look for him wherever we want. Wipe him out of a capital crime, not only gain money, but also eliminate hidden dangers, this is the right way. "

The servant trembled in fear when he heard that, and said that his yamen was really ruthless, but he said: "The yamen are thoughtful and well-planned. I'm afraid even the prime minister of the dynasty can only be like this!"

The yamen was a little happy to hear the praise, but suddenly remembered the prime minister of the dynasty, but his face became gloomy, and said: "my father told me in a letter that Zhang Zihou is in charge of the government alone, and he can do whatever he likes or angers. Weifu, flattering Shangyi and privately changing the emperor's history, as for Bo Shenzong, it will open up even more gaps, waste accumulation and use military aircraft recklessly, the people of Shaanxi will resent, and the people of the world will be angry!

Hey!How can I compare with him! "

The servant was shocked when he heard that Zhang Chun had been in power since the first year of Shaosheng (1094), and the world was worried. This servant is a servant of a wealthy family, and he knows better than ordinary people. Closed, I dare not say more.

The Yameni only said a few words, glanced at his servants with a gloomy look, and suddenly asked: "Defu went to Tiantai Mountain the day before yesterday and delayed his trip. Did he leave anyone to tell him a letter?"

The servant said: "I have kept people, but I have never seen the San Ya Nei. Someone inquired and reported that the San Ya Nei and Tiantai Mountain have met a few friends, and they have gone on another official road. There is no need to worry about the San Ya Nei. The appearance of the San Ya Nei is gorgeous, and the inside Then be cautious and alert, and nothing serious will happen."

Hearing the words, the yamen nodded and said: "But the way is the same. As the second brother, I don't know my brothers better than you, the long-term follower!"

Hearing this, the servant quickly bowed his head and said: "The yamen is a villain! I grew up in Zhao's family, but I know a little bit about the three yamen, but the yamen cares about the world's affairs and thinks deeply, so I treat you Little things in the house are somewhat neglected.”

Yanei smiled and said: "You are quite eloquent! It shows that you are a thoughtful person! I have worked hard to remember you. Now I have to go to Beijing. If I get a good job, I will find a future with you to reward you for your hard work and loyalty for many years." .”

The servant immediately bowed down and shouted: "The yamen is kind and affectionate, and the kindness is like a new creation! If the little one has some good luck, he will definitely repay it with death!"

The yamen shook the scroll and said with a smile: "It's good if you can know the kindness! Go! Set off early tomorrow morning, go to Fengqiu to do something, and wait for Defu, the matter here will be considered complete! Just arrange it properly, Don’t wait until the morning is right!”

The servant kowtowed and said, "Yes! I'll go and arrange it right now, little one!"

Then he turned around and retreated, but he didn't know that behind him, the Yameni was looking at his back with a dark and ruthless look in his eyes.

While the master and servant were talking, Er Gou sat on the ground by himself in a room of the official house inn, touching the floor with his hands, and closed his eyes tightly. Opening his eyes, he sneered and said: "I like thieves, they really want to kill me! In this way, I made your family die as a scapegoat, and it is not considered wronged to you! Hmph! The surname is Zhao, but I don't know which family's dignitaries, or Is it the royal family? Let’s wait for tomorrow and see how you die!”

Ergou then had a solid sleep, and got up early the next day to set off with the men from the wealthy family named Zhao.

To reach Fengqiu County from Changyuan, one must cross Jishui River.Due to the well-developed navigation on Jishui River and many boats on the river, there was no pontoon bridge. If you want to cross the river, you have to take a boat to cross the river. official ship.

Originally, in the identity of Ergou, it took a lot of effort to find a ferry to cross the river, but the Zhao Family Yamen had no secrets, worried that Ergou would get out of the way, so he specially left a boat with him. Ferry, let Ergou follow him across the river.

When crossing the river, Ergou paid close attention and saw a few small boats swimming around the ferryboat he was waiting for. There are evil spirits, but he never opened his eyes to visit, so as not to startle the snake and ruin the plan.
