Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 107 Darkness Chen Cang
The heavy wooden stakes are nailed with sharpened barbs, blocking the gate of the city tightly. With the sound of heavy military boots stomping on the ground, a large number of well-equipped governor's pacemen, carrying spears and firecrackers, gathered fiercely in Xi'an. At various exits of the city, the paste roller slammed twice onto the notice boards at the city gates. Portraits of Song Qingshu, Old Man Xing, Caiwei and others were all over the wanted posters of Jiangyang Bandits, and the gates of the city immediately They were blocked out of the long queue, and every man and woman who left the city had to go through extremely strict inspections.

There was a tea house not far from the exit of the South City Gate. Sitting on the second floor and looking down, Zhu Cunji's confidant, the green-robed eunuch, had a mean face full of worry, and Yang He intervened!
It seems that the secret has been leaked out after all, but the last transaction with Wei Wenzhong, the correspondence letterheads of Zhu Cunji and himself seized by Jin Yiwei have all been destroyed. Even if Yang He wants to attack the Qin Palace, there is not enough Evidence that he is also helpless, the most urgent thing is to silence the biggest scourge of Song Qingshu and his party first!

"Every door has been checked. Once Yang He finds that damn cook, no matter what method he uses, he will be killed on the spot!" The green-robed eunuch roared fiercely, his face extremely vicious.

…………

When Song Qingshu was still looking everywhere in Chang'an City, Song Qingshu and his family had already arrived outside the city.

The brand-new Jinyiwei Baihu robe has only been worn for less than 20 days, and now it is still stained with black and yellow dirt on the back. Bai Wenxuan angrily threw the robe on the ground, and Zhang Xianzhong also took off the robe , and silently threw them into the woods, just like his brothers, almost everyone took off their robes in silence.

Looking back at the morning light, Song Qingshu lamented that nothing could be done more. After more than a year of hard work, all the dreams he had had are now completely destroyed. Not to mention the complicated feelings entrusted to him, he would have lost thousands of taels of money. After opening a shop here, the formula of soap has since fallen into the hands of people. These losses cannot be measured in silver, and after escaping, can they survive in the worst and bloodiest peasant uprising that is coming? , Song Qingshu didn't know what to do.

Hiding in the small woods beside the official road, staring at the green and black walls of Xi'an City, Song Qingshu actually had the urge to say nothing and didn't want to leave.

It's a pity that the reality is always cruel. After a long time outside the grove, the sweaty Shi Tianfu swayed in with his body full of fat and hurriedly ran in. His hasty words interrupted Song Qingshu's thoughts.

"Shopkeeper Song, outside, there seems to be a team of officials coming over outside, you guys, are you ready?"

No wonder Shi Tianfu looked so panic-stricken. This matter is related to his life and wealth. After escaping yesterday, Song Qingshu and his party hid in his restaurant. Early in the morning, he bought Yexiang Workers, early in the morning, hid more than 20 people in the dung bins and transported them out.

The Ming Dynasty did not have sewers, and the waste produced in the city at night usually needs to be transported out of the city by workers who collect night incense. The work is despised by people. The government even stipulates that night incense collectors must leave the city before dawn every day, and those who violate the order are forced to do hard labor. !
Who would have thought that people could be hidden in the stinky dung bucket, even Yang He's pacesetter just pinched his nose and took a look, then waved his hand unluckily and let Song Qingshu and his party escape dangerously. Although everyone was so smoked that they almost fainted.

But now they all helped Song Qingshu escape, Shi Tianfu didn't know what Song Qingshu had committed, and he didn't dare to ask. You must know that Song Qingshu's words made him paralyzed yesterday.

Up to now, Shi Tianfu still remembers what Song Qingshu said lightly when he refused to agree at first.

"I know a secret. If I tell it, everyone who knows will be buried with me!"

Shi Tianfu came from a big family, so he knows how cruel, weird and unreasonable political struggles are. If Song Qingshu was arrested and insisted that he was an accomplice, Shi Tianfu might not be able to tell even if he opened his mouth a hundred times.

Under the threat of Song Qingshu, Shi Tianfu had to grit his teeth and take the risk of sending them out of the city. Now Shi Tianfu can't wait to send these hot potatoes out now, and he doesn't want to keep them for a second.

For Shi Tianfu, Song Qingshu was quite grateful, he suddenly came back to his senses, smiled apologetically, Song Qingshu reached out from his arms and took out the letterhead that had already been written, and put it in front of Shi Tianfu with both hands.

"My brother's escape is all thanks to my brother Gao Yi. As promised, I will offer you the soap formula with both hands. I wish my brother a prosperous business!"

At first Song Qingshu offered to use the soap formula in exchange for rescue, Shi Tianfu refused, but now looking at the envelope, Lao Shi couldn't help but feel embarrassed, Shanshan waved his hand and refused: "This, you don't need it, right? Gentlemen don’t steal people’s love, brother, how can I accept my brother’s secret recipe?”

"Otherwise, businessman Guicheng, how can you fail to keep the promise you mentioned? Brother must accept it!"

Song Qingshu forcefully stuffed the secret recipe into Shi Tianfu's arms. He was really jealous of the soap recipe, and he refused it twice, but Shi Tianfu finally accepted it. After taking the secret recipe under his hands, Shi Tianfu was still resentful. He cupped his fists to express his concern: "I don't know what my brother's plans are in the future. If you plan to enter Jin Dynasty, I have some connections there!"

"The little brother also bought some land in the countryside, so I don't need to bother my brother to worry about it. Now that my little brother is in trouble, I don't want to greet my brother anymore. Let's say goodbye!"

"Go all the way, brother!"

People are more realistic, and to put it mildly, Shi Tianfu led the two guys to run faster than rabbits, and they disappeared in a blink of an eye in a state that did not match their fat.

But that's good too, without him, there will be fewer obstacles. It's only more than ten miles away from Xi'an City, and it's still extremely dangerous. Seeing that his buddy has almost picked up all the wrapped luggage from the dung bucket, Song Qingshu hurried He waved again.

"Let's go, everyone!"

…………

There used to be a warehouse of Qu’s family outside the city, which contained a few tricycles. Song Qingshu and Qu’s family’s sales model is similar to that of the 4S shop in later generations. One was taken from the warehouse, and the rest were kept outside the city for the purpose of guarding against officials.

If a lot of tricycles are placed there, all gods of wealth and yamen will come to offer their hands, and they can't afford it, but if there is one, whoever comes to snatch it will have to have a seniority ranking. At the time, this period of time was enough to secretly sell several cars.

It's a pity that Song Qingshu and the Qu family went to expand the production of all the money from selling bicycles, and now they are used as wedding clothes for the Qu family. Fortunately, the bicycle can be used as a tool for escape. After knocking on the warehouse door, the group retreated all five tricycles.

But when he started riding on the road, Song Qingshu realized that he had miscalculated.

The road of the Ming Dynasty is really bad!Even the official roads are either pits or ditches along the way. If before Zhang Juzheng's reform, the government still imposed labor labor on farmers, these roads could still be maintained, but the labor and taxes were all converted into silver. , all the collected money has been corrupted, and it has not been maintained for almost ten years. Even the asphalt roads of later generations will be full of potholes, not to mention the yellow mud roads of this era. Like a snail, you have to go down and push the cart at every turn.

Fortunately, taking turns to ride a bicycle is faster than walking after all. In one morning, Song Qingshu took his big family with him and ran out for more than 20 miles. At a place about [-] miles away from Xi'an City, he met his first The second team, the Funiu Mountain troops brought by Scarface.

In two or three months, Scarface spent a lot of time and effort in Funiu Mountain, and invested a lot of money. The construction has also taken shape. Scarface is going back to Xi'an to attend the wedding, but he is worried about leaving Funiu Mountain. Just a belly away, who knows if the bosses such as the top of the head who have solved the problem of eating will take the opportunity to rebel?

On the pretext of taking Tou Dingtian and these people to Xi'an City to see and see, Scarface simply brought out Tou Dingtian and the original second to twelfth heads of the family, fearing that they would not accept it, he brought a helper Liu Zongmin, and left Li Tiezhu on the mountain to preside over the big event , taking the opportunity to eradicate the influence of the original leader of Funiu Mountain.

However, when they arrived at Zhouzhi County, on the notice at the gate of the city, several second-hand goods waiting for the sky were actually named on the government's wanted warrant, so naturally they couldn't go to Xi'an City.They were left here with a lot of resentment, because they were arranged to find a village, and Scarface was delayed for two hours.

In other words, this group of people are really thieves. When Song Qingshu's family arrives, these guys have just returned from robbing a nearby village. The car came over to contact Xing Hongniang and stayed directly as Mrs. Yazhai. If it wasn't for the scarred face, these two people would probably be labeled as Mrs. Yazhai.

Two big slaps in the face, and then a big slap, Song Qingshu printed a red mark on the bald head, his cheeks were trembling with anger, Song Qingshu raised his fist and roared angrily: "Where is this?" The provincial capital! Robbing here, you don’t want to die, but I want to die!”

It’s really a dilapidated house and it’s raining all night. Originally, Song Qingshu wanted to run away in a low-key manner, because he was afraid of attracting the attention of the pursuers of the Prince Qin’s mansion. This is a good move. These bastards are helping him to make a name for himself. The nearby villages are all owned by the King of Qin. industry!
Rubbing the "bloody handprint" on his head, Ding Dingtian was still quite unconvinced, and muttered angrily to refute: "The master! Brother, is this also itchy hands! As for getting so angry? Besides, our brothers rely on knives for food all the year round , Don’t you have the means? Don’t worry, we didn’t reveal our identity this time, and we didn’t eat the weeds! We won’t alarm the government!”

Good guy, how dare you talk back to the leader?Song Qingshu is now only left in the Funiu Mountain area of ​​Shangnan Shazigou. This kind of atmosphere cannot be let go, and his face is even darker. Song Qingshu raised his hand and opened his mouth to continue shouting. Who knew that at this time, he was hanging behind the team With a scarred face and a serious face, he hurried back.

"There is movement of Eagle Claw Sun in the nearby woods, someone must have caught up to him!"

Unable to bear the excitement, the first thought in Song Qingshu's mind immediately blurted out.

"Get ready to go now!"
