Three hours ago, Qin Feng and Jing Qianying were resting at the inn. They happened to meet an old man driving by and refused to ride any more.
Riding a tall horse and looking majestic, as long as it lasts for a long time, it can be compared to torture.
Unable to resist Qin Feng's pleading and even... wallowing, Jing Qianying had no choice but to sell his mount at a bargain price of fifty taels each, and climbed onto the bullock cart with Qin Feng.
The old man and Qin Feng were not on the same road at all. After stuffing him with two hundred coins, he agreed to send Qin Feng to Fuyun County.
"Master, Fuyun County is ahead of us." The old man shouted while driving the ox cart.
Hearing this, Qin Feng couldn't help but wailed, and turned to look at Jing Qianying: "Fourth sister, there are still two or three hours to go from Fuyun County to Kyoto. Why don't we take an ox cart to Beijing? This ox cart It’s so comfortable that I don’t even want to get up.”
Jing Qianying had no choice but to ask the old man, "Old sir, would you mind running a little longer?"
As he spoke, Jing Qianying handed over a broken piece of silver.
Although it's just a piece of silver, less than one tael.
But after decades of living, the old man saw so much money for the first time. He seemed a little flattered, but he turned his head and glanced in the direction of Fuyun County and felt a little hesitant.
"Girl, this is not about money."
"You two look like good people at first sight. If you go to other places, it's okay to give you a free ride. But after passing Fuyun County, you will reach the border of Kyoto. If you are discovered by patrolling police, you will inevitably be beaten severely."
Qin Feng can understand the old man's difficulties. After all, people from all over the country are strictly prohibited from traveling to each other. Especially when entering the territory of Kyoto, you must go to the county office and spend fifty cents to apply for a customs clearance document. If you are caught by the patrol police, you will not be able to get the customs clearance document. , they would be punished as having "bad intentions", ranging from being sent away to being severely beaten, and there were also many people who were directly taken to jail.
But when he thought that his buttocks were almost scratched by the saddle, Qin Feng cried out in pain.
He just rolled on the haystack and refused to get off the bus.
"Let me ride a horse. I would rather not leave and just lie on the ground like this, unless I go to Kyoto to hire a sedan chair."
Seeing Qin Feng rolling around, Jing Qianying was angry and funny.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would be able to connect the willful brat in front of him with the famous envoy to quell the chaos in the north?
Jing Qianying really had no choice but to say to the old man: "Just walk in, no one dares to stop you."
As soon as he heard this, the old man felt tangled in his heart.
He secretly blames himself for not being so kind and agreeing to this couple. Now that they are fine, they should be left to their own devices.
Along the way, from the conversation between the two, the old man also realized that these two people came from the north. Although they were well-dressed, they were at best small gentry from remote areas. They dared to enter Kyoto. Swagger, isn't this looking for death?
"Why!"
The old man sighed, and had no choice but to drive the bullock cart forward.
As a result, he was afraid that something might happen. Not far after walking, several policemen hiding in the grass on the roadside pounced on him.
"What are you doing!"
"Where did it come from?"
"Do you have customs clearance documents?"
Several police officers stared at the old man eagerly, their hearts full of anger, and secretly cursed the old man for not opening his eyes.
As early as last night, Jing Zhaoyin had already sent people to notify the thirty-six counties that Mr. Qin was about to return to the capital, and everyone else was sent away.
This morning, there were almost no people in the official road except official officials.
According to the time, Mr. Qin will be arriving soon. This old man suddenly appears, which is an eyesore!
Faced with the scolding from the policeman, the old man panicked for a moment. He scrambled out of the car and begged in panic: "I beg you to be accommodating. The little old man left in a hurry and forgot to bring the customs clearance documents..."
Before the old man could finish his defense, the leading police officer interrupted angrily: "You old fool, you dare to enter Kyoto without customs clearance documents. I think you are tired of living! Tell me, are you a Beidi spy who wants to enter? Beijing to spy on intelligence? Come on, get this old guy under my custody!"
The old man was so frightened that he wanted to defend himself, but he had no time to speak.
At this moment, an impatient voice came.
"This old man is over sixty. Even if he wants to be a spy, he doesn't have the strength anymore. Are you guys being too bullying?"
The officer went looking for someone to look for, and found a human head hanging above the haystack, with a half-smiling expression on his face.
"Where does this ugly thing come from?"
"Hmph! This old guy is not a spy, then you must be one!"
"Get down quickly, are you going to let us catch you?"
The official didn't take Qin Feng seriously at all. Looking at his virtue, he couldn't be a big shot. After all, the news of today's closure and clearance had already spread. Who in Kyoto would come out to cause trouble at this juncture? ?
I expected that the brat in front of me must be a dandy young master from some remote area.
Several government officials looked at Qin Feng's car, a shabby ox cart, with even more contempt.
The old man was frightened half to death by Qin Feng and quickly begged: "Young Master, please stop saying a few words."
"You are not a local. I don't know that Kyoto is heavily guarded. If you anger a few officials, you may not be able to eat and carry around."
Facing the old man's pleading, Qin Feng not only did not restrain himself at all, but climbed up from the haystack and grinned: "I finally came back from the north, and the saint greeted me like this? Aren't you afraid of the cold in your heart?" ?”
It's okay not to say this. As soon as he said it, the eyes of several government officials looking at Qin Feng changed drastically.
I thought this guy must be tired of living.
How bold you dare to speak nonsense while living in the important place of Kyoto!
The head officer directly pulled out his knife, pointed it at Qin Feng and shouted angrily: "Bold thief, you are going to be in bad luck today! Qin's special envoy returned to Beijing today. The roads were blocked and the three ministers came to greet him personally. You blind thing not only blocked the way of Special Envoy Qin, but you also dared to speak rudely to the saint and even saved yourself from jail. Come on, just punish this traitor on the spot!"
"There are also old guys who are traveling with us, let's deal with them too!"
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the yamen cadres swung his knife and slashed at the old man.
The old man's face was so frightened that he slumped down on the ground, thinking that he didn't look at the almanac when he went out, and he unexpectedly got into trouble with such a plague god.
Just when the old man was about to fall to the ground, everyone saw a flash of cold light.
The next moment, the official sword in the Yamen's hand flew away.
Before the yamen could react, Jing Qianying had already swung his sword several times. Several yamen's wrists were hit by the sword and their weapons fell away.
Under the shocked gaze of everyone, Jing Qianying held the sword that was not unsheathed, glanced at it, and said calmly: "Get away from me!"
