Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 456
The waist card and the certificate were placed on the ground, and someone actually picked them up and looked at them. It is not that these certificates have not been faked, but they are so open and aboveboard, and the fakers are definitely not so stupid.

Besides, the people on the bank of the river can see that even the people from Zhizhou Yamen have retreated into the city. There are still thousands of officers and soldiers stationed in the Changlu Salt Field near Cangzhou. Fake.

The local people are not so courageous, but those shipowners and merchants on the canal are willing to help, there is some food on the left and right, and they don’t want Tan Gong’s money. If you go to Tianjin Wei to do business, you need Lord Wang to take care of you. Isn't human affection a good thing.

What's more, the chubby Jinyiwei Baihu knows how to do it. He records the name of whoever gives the food, and asks in detail. If everyone doesn't accept the money, everyone doesn't accept it. He actually took out the cash, which means Not being polite.

Since they act like this, everyone is willing to help, and they don't want to pay three times the price for food, but they can buy fodder and other things for them.

Who wouldn't be tempted to pay three times the cash, but the people would not dare to sell it because of the concerns of the government. If merchants on the ship come to buy it, then there is nothing to be afraid of.

Before it was completely dark, Tan Gong and a dozen people ate hot meals, and the horses also ate fodder there.

***********
The city gate of Cangzhou has not been completely closed. The yamen servants and family members of Lord Zhizhou kept looking at it, and then went back to report. Those fans from Tianjin Wei were reasonable, and they would not shoot arrows if they were not too close.

Hearing the news from the flowing water outside the city, Zhizhou Xu Guangguo's face became darker and darker. The gang from Tianjin Wei are really unreasonable and unlawful.

But he didn't have the courage to do it. The Li catcher who he could beat was right in front of his eyes, with several layers of cloth wrapped around his feet. He didn't want to walk properly in two months. Qian always could help, thinking of this, Xu Guangguo slapped the table angrily.

If I had known about today's incident, I would have been more polite to Mr. Qian, and I usually prided myself on my status, thinking about the nobles and the humble. At this time, someone outside reported:
"Master, those who went to see outside the city and those who went to the east of the city have returned."

The door of the speaking room opened, and two family members trotted in. After the ceremony, one of them said first:

"Report to the master, the dozen or so people by the river outside the city have tied up their horses, some of them have already laid down and slept on the boat, and the gate of the city has been closed, the younger ones have come to report back."

Zhizhou Xu Guangguo pondered for a while, and asked:
"Looking at how tired they are, they must be quite relaxed when they go to sleep at this time. Captain Li, there are still a hundred people in the Zhizhou Yamen and the official's servants. At this time, rush over to catch them by surprise..."

He was just a civil servant, and he was not sure when he was talking on paper, so he looked at Li Butou halfway through the sentence, and Li Butou naturally understood the meaning of the other party's enquiry, and shook his head with a bitter face and said:
"Those outsiders are probably from the army, so they are the guards of someone's family, otherwise, how could they have such kung fu with bows and horses, if we people go over, I'm afraid they will be scattered immediately after being hit by an arrow. "

Xu Guangguo shook his head. He was just asking casually without any hope. He turned his head to another famous family member, but that famous family member was full of embarrassment and said in a low voice:
"Master, Mr. Liu Qian said that the officers and soldiers don't care about this matter, please discuss it with the fans themselves."

"Bastard, bastard!!"

Xu Guangguo was so angry that he cursed loudly, everyone in the room lowered their heads, it's normal for Mr. Qian to ignore him, since it won't do any good anyway, why bother with fan and local entanglements.

"Master, Mr. Liu Qian's soldiers are all fed by the salt field. They are like the private soldiers of the salt transport envoy. They are difficult to command. Let's go to a few big families to see the younger ones. The younger ones have many brothers and sisters." They are all the leaders of the guard over there, and these Zhuang Dingxiang soldiers have trained and fought a lot, which is better than Mr. Liu Qian's side."

"Go, go..."

"My lord, I can't afford it without benefits. To tell you the truth, I still have to give some benefits over there."

Li Butou said these words hesitantly, Xu Guangguo pondered for a while, then slapped the table and said:
"In the future, the Zhizhou Yamen will not ask or check the goods they transport, and they can also arrange for their children to come in as errands."

Cangzhou is close to the Changlu Salt Field, and the rich and powerful households have some ambiguous ties to private salt. The arrest of the Zhizhou Yamen is also one of the outsiders, but now they can’t take care of it. Arranging their children to work is tantamount to decentralizing power and letting local wealthy families intervene Come in, but I can't care less.

As long as the fanzi can be driven away, the card can be set up first, and then everything is easy to talk about. Now that the situation is divided, some rights can only be gritted.

Hearing Xu Guangguo's words, Catcher Li, who was being supported to stand up, agreed with a headache, and hurriedly helped him out of the door, and left. Seeing this scene, Xu Guangguo, the magistrate of Cangzhou, couldn't help cursing inwardly. , I came to Cangzhou to catch up and investigate closely. Maybe these big families in the local area have been waiting for this opportunity. It is not certain who the local people in Li Tutou's hometown are targeting, but he can't take care of the power in a hurry.

***************
It was getting dark, and it was hot during the day, but it was still a bit cool at night, so you wouldn't catch a cold if you slept naked all night, and Tan Gong and his party didn't have to worry about sleeping.

The boat that was going to be used as a tax card happened to be used as a bunk bunker. In the afternoon, people were driven away, and a shift was set to be on duty, and the rest of the people went to sleep.

Looking at the wind lanterns on the boats on the river, the gate of Cangzhou City over there has also been closed, and you can see the lanterns hanging on the gate tower, and the lights of the houses outside the city are lit up. Although there is no moon, it does not look dark. .

They were extremely tired at first, and everyone was sleeping deeply, but they didn't expect to be unable to sleep when the city gate was closed and it was dark. It wasn't that there was a policeman, but that there were quite a few vendors coming to do business.

Buying grain and grass at three times the price is heard by everyone, and they dare not do it during the day, but when it is dark, those who are more active will bring things to do business.

At the beginning, Tan Gong and his gang were taken aback. They couldn't shoot arrows at ordinary people, but they were afraid that the other party would sneak in, so they had to get up and deal with it carefully.

The dry food was enough, and some people even asked if they needed to make some soup, but Tan Jian bought a few loads of wheat. The horses were really exhausted, so they had to use wheat to replenish their strength at night.

Everyone felt a little overwhelmed, and Hang Daqiao, who was born to be good at this time, fell asleep for less than an hour, so he got up in a hurry, called a boat on the river, and went to the other side.

"If Hang Baihu is here, why bother chatting with them?"

Some impetuous Jinyi guards had just started to complain when they heard someone yelling from the river:
"Master Zhizhou's servants are mixed among you, and if you are so reckless, you will all be sent to prison tomorrow..."

When these words were uttered, it was not only Tan Gong and the others who took out their weapons, but the surrounding people immediately dispersed and became clear. Just as they were careful, a small boat docked, and Hang Daqiao walked up with a smile, and said said:
"These people, if you treat them politely, they will have no rules, they will be frightened, and they will be honest immediately."

Although Hang Daqiao is tired, his face seems to be glowing. Tianjin Wei's various undertakings are booming, but he shrinks his head and timidly because of a few things over there, but he is getting more and more marginalized. It's really uncomfortable to watch him getting farther and farther away from him.

It is rare to have a chance to do business this time, Mr. Wang pointedly pointed at himself. Hang Daqiao has been gritted his teeth since then and made up his mind. He must do it well this time, so that he can also have his own benefits in the eyes of adults.

Hearing his words, everyone laughed and relaxed. Tan Gong shook his head and said with a smile:

"Looking at the young men in Cangzhou during the day, they don't have the courage to attack at night. What they worry about is the thousand soldiers coming."

"Brother Tan doesn't have to think about this. If a prefect wants to mobilize the local garrison, he must ask for it. Besides, if we reveal our identities, whoever wants to meddle with our family and local affairs will never be bothered."

Hang Daqiao is proficient in these methods, he turned around and rewarded the boatman who was rocking the boat, and the boatman left thankfully, Hang Daqiao walked to the side of the boat, picked up a sesame seed cake he bought just now, and ate it, while eating Bian said:

"Nazhizhou sent people to the big families inside and outside the city, and asked them to send people out to drive us away tomorrow. I originally wanted to find some idlers to make noise tomorrow, but I didn't expect to find out this news. This is a trouble."

Tan Jian leaned on the cabin and said in a deep voice:

"This is troublesome. Remember to feed the horses tonight. If people come tomorrow, we will beat them as we walk and drag them to the horse team."

"There are quite a few Zhuangzi in Cangzhou. I heard from the other side that it is not difficult to gather a thousand people. There are more than a hundred horses and dozens of bows."

Hang Daqiao said while eating there, everyone looked a little heavy, and the people who came were all elites, and the local mobs were naturally not afraid, but so many people are also a big trouble.

"Hang Baihu, can you buy a few horses over there tonight, our mounts can't run anymore."

Tan Gong said while oiling the bowstring. Tan Jian was biting a grass stalk, and casually spat it to the side, and said:
"I thought I would take a look at the scenery, but I didn't expect to have a good fight. Everyone go to bed early and get up early tomorrow."

This is already in the state of battle, everyone solemnly agreed, Hang Daqiao swallowed the things in his mouth, and said:
"These gentry dare to do something about the government..."

Halfway through speaking, a soldier on the other side raised his voice:

"I'm afraid they will do something, they are all trash like grass chickens."
