Before the snowy night, twenty or thirty carriages finally entered the inner city and found a place to stay.
There were so many people that they were divided into four inns.
Also afraid of causing trouble in the illegal shop, Xu Mu simply divided himself into several groups and took turns keeping watch at night.
"My boss, why don't we establish our prestige first." Jia Zhou was helped out of the carriage and hesitantly spoke.
Xu Mu naturally understood the meaning. It was nothing more than a show of force that would save a lot of subsequent trouble.
But in this way, they will inevitably attract too much attention, which is not what Xu Mu wants.
"Mr. Wenlong, are you feeling sleepy?" After a moment of silence, Xu Mu spoke in a solemn voice. No matter what, I am a new member after all, so I want to ask a question.
"My boss wants to have a night talk with me."
"Not really, I just want to talk."
"It could not be better."
Jia Zhou turned around and thanked a mountain hunter for his support, then supported his seriously injured body and slowly walked up the stairs of the inn.
He was stabbed two or three times in a row and still managed to stay strong. He was considered a wonderful person.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Mu took a few steps forward and helped Jia Zhou up the stairs.
"On the first day after conquering Dangyang County, Liu Adong listened to a fortune teller and immediately proclaimed himself emperor, named the country Dashun, and appointed me as the Prime Minister of Dashun. Just like his boss, he supported me Take a few steps.”
"I'm not lying." Xu Mu was speechless.
"I definitely know." Jia Zhou turned his head and smiled, "I am not pretending to be my master."
"How to say."
"First, my boss came from the barren mountains and traveled with two to three hundred villagers. He must have become a villager. No matter what the purpose is, he is still a benevolent person."
Xu Mu smiled faintly and did not respond.
"Secondly, I took a look and found that my boss only had thirty jockeys. Facing an army that was defeated several times, he dared to draw his sword and charge at the horse. It is conceivable that these thirty knights are not simple, at least. I have seen a big scene of fighting. And my boss is definitely not a simple person."
Xu Mu was slightly startled. Jia Zhou's analysis was extremely reasonable.
"Third, the owner's gray horse has tear troughs in its eyes, which hinders the master's instructions. The owner naturally knows it, but he rides it safely."
Jia Zhou raised his head and smiled slightly, "You can guess from this that my boss is a person who does not believe in fate and does not respect heaven. Generally speaking, if you live in troubled times, if you get the chance, you will be a hero."
"You guessed wrong, I'm just a brewer in the inner city."
"My boss is a brewer, so I will be a bookkeeper. My boss is a tycoon, so I will be a counselor."
When he said this, Xu Mu clearly saw that there was a hint of expectation in the eyes of the private school teacher in front of him.
"Let's go into the house first."
Without getting entangled in this topic, Xu Mu supported Jia Zhou and walked into the wing on the second floor.
After sitting down, Xu Mu was about to pour a cup of hot tea, but when he thought about it, he felt wrong and silently put down the teapot.
"It doesn't matter. Even if it's a black shop, they won't use such a clumsy stun method. Furthermore, there are people on patrol outside who can't get it at the moment, so they won't alert the snake."
Xu Mu was a little funny. His cautious temperament was really going to be poked to pieces by Jia Zhou. However, this man is indeed a great talent.
"I heard that Mr. Wenlong teaches in a private school?"
"Exactly, I've been teaching for fourteen years. I have taught a total of eight first-class students and two top-notch students."
"Incredible." Xu Mu was shocked. If he remembered correctly, Chenjiaqiao seemed to be top of the list.
"When I was in the village, many people saw me, just like my boss, and thought that I had merit in teaching and that I could be called a famous teacher."
"Could it be that it's not?"
"They have all entered the court and become corrupt officials. How can I accomplish anything?"
Xu Mu's expression froze. Under the general situation, the sore-like Daji became more likely to fester the closer he stuck it.
Of course, except Yuan Tao.
"My wife told me that since she doesn't want to live like this and has no heirs at home, she should give it a try."
"Where is your wife?" Xu Mu frowned. If Jia Zhou was a heartless person, he would definitely not use it.
After all, they have rebelled. What will the wife of the family do?
"He died of illness." Jia Zhou lowered his head, unable to see his expression for the moment.
"When I was teaching, I had a monthly salary of eight cents, three cents for medicine, three cents for grains to stew into paste, and two cents for occasionally buying fresh fish to make soup and feeding it to my wife."
The wife of the family was seriously ill and bedridden, no wonder she had no heirs.
"In the 14th year of Emperor Xingwu's reign, one of my most proud students won the third prize. I was so happy that I dug out two coins of silver and bought some steamed dried bean curd cakes that he liked to eat. I went to Changyang overnight."
"Boss, guess what happened."
"What……"
"He told others that I was just an acquaintance from the same country, and he didn't invite me into the mansion. He threw the steamed cakes with dried preserves in the alley."
"I remember from afar that before he entered the Changyang Examination in the autumn of that year, he knelt in front of me, clutching the book of sages and saying, 'Once a teacher, always a father.'"
"It's not that I hold a grudge, but I'm wondering why such a good person could read the sage's book on loyalty, filial piety and etiquette into the belly of a dog."
Xu Mu couldn't answer, but he could imagine that Di Gou was still in Kengguan City that day, while the Shuixie Academy in Changyang was writing poems praising the prosperous times.
"When I teach people who have fallen behind, I want to teach the world how to spit out the filth and restore clarity to the world."
Xu Mu remained silent.
After traveling through time, he has seen too many people, such as the greedy Zhao Qingyun, such as You Wencai who abandoned the chaff, such as the arrogant family member Lu Zizhong, such as Chang Shilang who planned and acted later, and Yuan Tao who was dedicated to saving the country. .
There are people of all kinds, and there are people of all kinds.
In troubled times, both bears and heroes emerge.
"After spring begins, I'm afraid there will be more and more rebellions."
"Don't think about it anymore. Just follow me back to Zhuangzi and become a bookkeeper. When I need you, you can put on the scribe's robe." Xu Mu sighed.
"I would like to follow my lord." Jia Zhou reluctantly handed over.
"Call my boss."
"I would like to beg for food with my boss."
"Very good."
Xu Mu smiled, turned around and walked out. After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something.
"If it's a shady shop and you come here in the middle of the night to blow smoke, don't cover your nose. You should have a good night's sleep. I will take care of the outside matters."
"That's easy to say."
Jia Zhou really stretched himself down and lay down, and soon he snored slightly.
Xu Mu was speechless. Who were the people he bumped into?
…
"Caught! Boss, caught!" It was just after midnight, and Wei Feng happily led a group of people and grabbed seven or eight dejected boys. Among them, there was also an old and beady little aunt. They were all thrown in front of Xu Mu.
Wei Feng's voice sounded extremely disgusting.
"Did these gangsters in the black shop not have enough money to pay for the flower girl? They sent an old aunt to do a honey trap, and their faces were smeared with rouge! Boss, I was still asleep at that moment, but I woke up on the spot, thinking that I was seeing someone It’s a ghost. He wants to hang his shirt and sing me a little song. I almost drew the knife."
"Wei Feng... left it outside to freeze overnight."
"After the night watch is arranged, the remaining people will go back to their rooms to rest. We have to travel tomorrow."
