The next day, early morning
However, Zhang Jian and his servant were awakened by the movement outside the shop.
This is where the Zhang family's caravan settled. It was originally a shop selling silk and satin.
After Zhang Jian's master and servant arrived, they stayed there first.
Several burly government officials broke in at this time and were searching everywhere.
"Dear officials, we really don't have any strangers here. These two gentlemen are on their way to Beijing to take the exam. They passed by Jixian County Juren Master. Please don't offend Wenquxing!"
At this time, the shopkeeper of the silk and satin shop quickly grabbed the two government servants next to him.
Hearing this, the two government officials did not dare to neglect, but after briefly checking the directions of the master and servant, they politely invited Zhang Jian aside.
After a while, he left in a hurry.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Jian was slightly surprised. He noticed that these government officials did not embarrass the shopkeeper of the silk and satin shop.
This is a very rare situation.
In Zhang Jian's impression, even the yamen servants of Fengyang County Sheriff's Office are not able to restrain themselves and not get stuck.
Once you encounter an order to arrest a big thief, you will inevitably take advantage of the opportunity.
Seeing this, Zhang Lu, who was standing next to him, hurriedly went to the street to inquire about the news. He returned soon after and brought bad news.
Last night in Jixian County, a group of bandits attacked the county jail, killing the jailers and robbing prisoners.
Jixian County has closed the city gate overnight, and currently no one is allowed in or out.
"Lang Jun, it seems that we won't be able to leave Jixian County for a while?"
Zhang Lu had a sad face at this time.
"Is there no other way?"
Zhang Jian frowned slightly.
In fact, it is not impossible to leave Jixian County directly with his skills, but there is not much need, and he does not want to be too high-profile now.
Especially at this time, it is easy to cause trouble.
Zhang Ludao: "There is still a way. It is said that as long as you go to the county governor's house and get a special road guide, you can pass!"
"Then it seems we must go to the Sheriff's Mansion!"
Zhang Jian didn't seem to care.
…
Outside the county guard's office, a long queue had formed early at this time.
When Zhang Jian's master and servant arrived, they just took one look and shook their heads. There were too many people who came to handle the special route, and there were also many merchants and officials.
At this time, there were officials from the county guard's office shouting loudly in front.
"Don't crowd together. Everyone, please listen clearly. In the past three days, only those who have gone to Haojing to take the exam have been given priority. If they are not from Juzi, please do not come to queue, otherwise they will not be accepted!"
Hearing the official shouting for peace, some officials and some merchants couldn't help but protest loudly, but the official had a dark face and showed no mercy, and everyone had no choice but to look helpless and go ahead. Leave.
At this moment, Zhang Jian's expression changed and he looked behind him, when he saw an excited voice coming from behind.
"Brother Zhang!"
"It turns out to be Brother Chengfeng!"
Zhang Jian had already noticed the master and servant Shi Lun who got off the carriage behind him.
Chengfeng, this is Shi Lun's word.
At this time, a smile appeared on Shi Lun's face, and he said happily: "I guessed that Brother Zhang would definitely come to handle this special road guide. I have been waiting here for a long time!"
He glanced at the people around him and whispered to Zhang Jian: "Let's go, we don't need to queue here, we can go directly to the special road!"
Looking at Zhang Jian at this time, Shi Lun was extremely enthusiastic.
With the amulet given by Zhang Jian, he slept extremely soundly last night. He had not slept like this in a long time.
When we met at this time, we were extremely enthusiastic!
On the way, he faced Zhang Jian and smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, all the special road guidance this time will be handled at the Jun Cheng's mansion, and our Shi family and Jun Cheng's uncle Zhang's family are family friends, so it doesn't need to be so troublesome!"
Zhang Jian nodded.
"So that's it, this trip has benefited from brother Chengfeng!"
Shi Lun smiled softly, with a smile in his eyes.
With Shi Lun's help in the introduction, the county prime minister Zhang Zhan readily agreed after checking the directions of Zhang Jian's master and servant.
This Jun Cheng is very easy to talk to.
In fact, Zhang Jian’s master and servant are very identifiable.
Zhang Jian was originally a famous young man in Fengyang County, and he had already become famous. After a little investigation, it was confirmed that Zhang Jian's master and servant were in person, and there was no problem.
Schlumn, on the other hand, has no problem.
The two quickly arranged a special road guide.
Shi Lun's interest was high along the way, and he immediately brought up the county's big event last night.
"Brother Zhang, do you know that something big happened in the city last night!"
"That group of thieves were so audacious that they dared to go to the county jail to rob the prison. I asked my family to inquire about it..."
Schren sighed and shook his head slightly.
"The jailers were almost wiped out!"
Zhang Jian frowned slightly.
It seems that the Xuandu Cult's target is not the county governor's mansion, but the county prison.
I wonder if there is any special person in the county prison that makes the people of Xuandu teach so much trouble.
The depths of his eyes were a little solemn at this time.
Shanyang County is adjacent to Fengyang County.
How could he be allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
If Shanyang County festeres, Fengyang County may be the next unlucky one.
Fengyang County is the foundation of the Zhang family.
A Dharma King from the Xuandu Sect is so difficult to deal with. If they come out in full force, they will definitely be an extremely terrifying force.
But now it seems that the Xuandu Sect's primary target is Jixian County, a large county known as the head of the southern counties.
If he changed the place and if there was to be an uprising, Zhang Jian thought that he would definitely capture this large county located at the core of the waterway transportation hub. How many troops could be armed with the wealth of this county?
However, in Zhang Jian's view, the Xuandu Sect may only be a pioneer for the king.
Although the southern counties have produced countless refugees due to drought during this period, the basic foundation of the Daqian court is still there. When the court and Dongshen temple react, they will immediately send elite troops and experts to suppress this rebellion.
"For now, it's better to take the imperial examination with peace of mind!"
The Zhang family is dormant, and developing silently is the way to go.
Build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly.
If the imperial examination goes well this time, if he can pass the imperial examination and serve as an official for a few more terms, then when the Zhang family's wings are fully mature, they will no longer be afraid of any challenges.
With the guide, the master and servant and some of the governors were able to leave Jixian County smoothly. After climbing over several mountains, the famous Qunxian Crossing was already in front of many of the governors.
That is the largest ferry in Jixian County.
There is also a ferry town called Qunxian around the ferry.
It's quite prosperous here.
On the vast and magnificent water, countless large ships gathered on the river to maneuver.
"There are so many soldiers!"
Many people standing at the ferry looked at this scene and were a little shocked.
I saw the flags fluttering, and the dragon flags representing the orthodoxy of the Daqian court were hoisted on large ships.
Many troop transport ships and grain transport ships are passing through here. They are continuously mobilized from surrounding counties and cities and sent to Shanyang County through the Grand Canal.
At a glance, it looks like the Grand Canal is filled with countless evil spirits.
