Finally, some daily necessities were purchased in Liangzhou. Liu Zheng asked Liu Dahao to prepare more green cloth. Although he didn't know why, Liu Dahao did so.
The sun sets.
There are many red clouds in Liangzhou.
one person.
Two donkeys and luggage.
Slowly leave the city.
This incident spread throughout Liangzhou immediately. Liu Dahao, the dignified richest man in Liangzhou, was tricked by his prodigal son and was about to go to a place of insecurity like Yinzhou.
Along the way, many people followed and watched.
When they heard that the young master of the Liu family was leaving Liangzhou, the pink-headed oirans from Liangzhou’s land of countless fireworks sent him off in tears.
This time...
Their income will be much less! These resentful words of "dead ghost" and "Mr. Liu" spread throughout the streets and alleys.
There are those who take pleasure in misfortune.
There are those who have compassion.
There are those who humiliate and slap people in the face.
There was even a group of children running behind the donkeys, singing nursery rhymes that someone had just made up.
"Liu Jiaweng, the donkey is riding backwards."
"Leaving Liangzhou will mess with God's will."
"Feng Sanniang, don't stop."
"Yinzhou Beach, look at things!"
Feng Sanniang is Liu Zheng's mother. This is another quite remarkable character. Feng Sanniang is a woman, but she is also an escort! When this big incident happened, she happened to be escorting to Beijing, but Liu Dahao had already sent a letter. Even if she rushes back from Beijing, it will take at least a month.
The Liu family and his son had long been mentally prepared to be "whipped" by Feng Sanniang.
"It rhymes!"
Liu Zheng laughed loudly when he heard these nursery rhymes and didn't take them seriously.
"Mr. Liu County, this trip has a long way to go, so please pay attention to your safety!"
"Liu Weng, we will wait until you return to Liangzhou!"
On the way, many of Liu Dahao's old friends came to say goodbye, and many of Liu Dahao's former servants and maids bid farewell with tears in their eyes. Liu Dahao is a generous person and still has a good reputation.
"Everyone, don't pass, don't pass!"
Liu Dahao also had red eyes.
"Hahahaha, County Marquis Liu is going to take up a high-ranking official position, why do you need to lament so much?"
At this moment, a fat man in brocade clothes arrived in a carriage with eight horses. He was surrounded by twenty or thirty servants and thugs, and he was extremely arrogant.
As soon as this man arrived, many people on the street dispersed for fear of being trampled by these horses.
"Old Qian, I knew you would be indispensable today. As soon as I leave, you will be the richest man in Liangzhou. You can't be so stingy, right?" Liu Dahao snorted coldly.
Qian Buqun chuckled: "Brother Liu, that's wrong. All the property you have managed for your whole life is in my hands. How could I come here to ridicule you? I'm here to give you gifts!"
"Gift?"
Liu Dahao sneered.
This Qian Buqun is the wealthy businessman promoted by Chen Ping this time. Liu Dahao is in decline and Qian Buqun is in power. Chen Ping has finally got rid of his big worry. Qian Buqun, a villain who has succeeded, will naturally be humiliated.
"That's it, bring it up to Brother Liu!"
A sarcastic look flashed in Qian Buqun's eyes and he laughed.
Everyone agreed and brought two willow coffins.
"you……"
Liu Dahao was furious.
There was a roar in the whole place, everyone said that the money was too much, and giving someone a coffin was not a curse to others.
Qian Buqun said sincerely: "Brother Liu, you want to know what I mean! That Yinzhou is an incurable land. If you encounter bandits along the way, you can't expose your body to the wilderness, right?"
The servants laughed loudly.
"Old Qian, you..."
Liu Dahao was so angry that his whole body trembled.
Liu Zheng stopped his father and chuckled: "The willow coffin is expensive to build. Uncle Qian is determined, but the two donkeys can't pull it. How about Uncle Qian giving us a discount?"
Qian Buqun was stunned for a moment, then realized it with a strange look on his face: "Discount?"
"I mean you give him some silver so that he can finally enjoy it!"
someone said.
Qian Buqun looked up to the sky and laughed: "Okay, okay, I didn't expect that Brother Liu would give birth to such a thing in his heroic life. Okay, I'll give you two hundred silver for two coffins!"
Liu Zheng chuckled and picked it up with his hands under the mocking eyes of the people.
"enough!"
At this time, a galloping horse came. There was a scolding sound, and a riding crop fell on Liu Zheng's wrist. The latter suddenly felt pain and was about to curse. It seemed that the person was Chen Ruoshi, who was dressed in red, and then she suppressed the curse words in the future.
Chen Ruoshi glared at Liu Zheng angrily and shouted: "Liu Zheng, are you really going to be that money-grubbing bastard? Do you know, do you know... you!"
No ugly words were said.
Liu Zheng looked unhappy: "How do you know? What does it have to do with you that I like money?"
He was very unhappy.
This is two hundred taels of silver!
Yinzhou is poor, and two hundred taels of silver is enough to feed ten families for a year!
"You, you, you are so angry with me! If you are greedy for that money, I will give it to you! But I have one request."
Chen Ruoshi stared at Liu Zheng, her delicate body trembling, and her eyes had a complicated expression.
"explain!"
Liu Zheng was so happy, did anyone else give money?
"Yesterday's poem, another one! If this lady is satisfied, I'll give them all to you!"
Chen Ruoshi took out a money bag, her eyes flashing.
Again?
Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
I never thought that the Tang poetry and Song lyrics that I was forced to memorize by my teacher in my previous life would be so valuable.
“Ten years of life and death are uncertain, and you will never forget them if you don’t think about them.”
"A lonely tomb thousands of miles away, there is no place to talk about the desolation. Even if we meet each other, we should not know each other, our face will be covered with dust, and our temples will be like frost."
"At night, you suddenly return to your hometown with a deep dream. They are dressing up outside the small Xuan window. They look at each other without saying anything, only a thousand lines of tears. It is expected that the heartache will be broken every year, and the pine trees will be short on a bright moonlit night."
"you you……"
Chen Ruoshi's eyes turned red, as if she was sad for parting, and she suddenly felt heartbroken.
"It's up to you!"
As she spoke, she flicked a purse with the scent of a woman's body temperature towards her.
Liu Zheng smiled brilliantly, weighed it up and took a few hundred taels. He took it in his hand and took a deep sniff. He looked like he had been gifted by lust and said thank you casually.
"lecher!"
Chen Ruoshi's cheeks turned red and she said angrily.
I had obviously thought of a lot of things to say to him on the way, but I just saw Liu Zheng looking so unsatisfied, being humiliated, licking his face to accept the money, and giving him all his personal money, and he looked like this!
But at the poetry meeting yesterday, he looked at the poems he had composed, the eternal masterpiece just now...
She just couldn't say another word.
"Miss Chen..."
Qian Buqun wanted to say hello.
"roll!"
Chen Ruoshi drank.
Qian Buqun stepped aside dejectedly, and Chen Ruoshi glared at Liu Zheng again: "Yinzhou is an unruly land, and the road is dangerous, so you have to take care of yourself! If you can't stay any longer, go back to Liangzhou and make money by writing poems. It's better than dying there." !”
After saying this, she stopped looking at Liu Zheng, pulled the reins, and galloped away.
Liu Zheng and Liu Dahao looked at each other.
Could it be that this girl really likes him?
ha!
Among the three prefectures and counties, Yinzhou is actually the closest to Liangzhou. It's just that it's too barren, and its sense of existence has never been strong. But even recently, the two had to ride a donkey for seven days and six nights.
Three days in a row.
The further we walked, the more desolate we became. On the first two days, we could still see restaurants where we could stay overnight. On the third day, there had been no human habitation for several hours.
In the Gobi Desert, a pampered man like Liu Dahao could not stand it and complained endlessly.
But what surprised him was that his son's interest continued throughout the journey.
"Zheng'er, what are you excited about now?"
Seeing Liu Zheng holding a stone and chasing away a few crows in the sky with a look of joy on his face, Liu Dahao took a gulp of water and asked.
The weather was hot, so he never ran out of water along the way. Fortunately, the two of them had foreseen this situation and prepared a lot of fresh water on the donkey's back.
"Dad, do you have a strange feeling?"
Liu Zheng asked with a smile.
Both of them were on the backs of donkeys, and although their faces were quite dry, they didn't have much dust on their bodies.
Liu Dahao said: "Strange?"
Liu Zheng nodded: "Why does the donkey slow down when walking downhill, and it seems very strenuous. But sometimes it walks as fast as flying when going uphill. This is obviously unreasonable!"
Liu Dahao thought that this was indeed the case. Seeing that it was getting late, he said in shock: "Zheng'er, do you mean that we have reached a ghost town?"
"puff……"
Liu Zheng squirted out a mouthful of water and choked himself. He glared at Liu Dahao helplessly, shook his head and said, "The magnetic field here is wrong!"
"What is a magnetic field?"
Liu Zheng didn't know how to explain it either.
But he knew that there was only one possible reason for this magnetic field disorder. There was a large-scale mine here! Although we don’t know if it is iron ore, gold ore, silver ore, or bauxite, etc., such a situation may happen! Moreover, it must be a mine with amazing reserves for this to happen!
"It is indeed a treasure land!"
Liu Zheng laughed heartily and was very excited.
The sheepskin map shows that this is the "Wangshan Mountain" within the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, which is the closest to Yinzhou. It may be that due to the influence of the magnetic field, people who come here will experience deviations in direction and momentum, so choose whichever " It means "looking at the mountain and running to death". Yangzhou is also barren, slightly better than Yinzhou.
Definitely get it in the future!
A gleam flashed in Liu Zheng's eyes.
Since he was interested, at Liu Zheng's request, he went to Yangzhou to stay overnight before dark.
Liu Dahao was already exhausted, so he naturally had no objection.
Before the sun set, the two finally arrived in Yangzhou.
Unexpectedly, I just entered the city and planned to find a place to eat.
There was a killing sound of weapons clashing.
The two people, who had huge sums of money, were horrified at the same time and hurriedly escaped.
That group of people was already running towards this direction.
