After crossing the Ru River and walking about five miles, there was a grass market in front of us. There are more than thirty households, and the streets are deserted with few pedestrians. Compared with the other side of the Ru River, there is a huge difference.
Huang Yuanwai saw him and said: "This grass market is so small that our group can't live in it. Go to the front to buy some wine and eat, fill your stomach casually, and get to Linying County before dark to think of a solution. If If we can’t get to the county seat, we’ll have to sleep in the wild tonight.”
Tang Zhe said: "That's what the member said. We have more than a hundred porters, and the small grass city committee really can't accommodate them."
As he spoke, he urged everyone to hurry up.
When we arrived at the grass market, we looked for the largest hotel. Huang and others ordered some wine and meat. The porters I brought with me were all outside the grass market. They chose a large open space and buried the pots for cooking. They brought rice, but they just went to the grass market to buy some salt, vinegar, etc., and also bought some wine.
At this time, you will know why people in ancient times brought rice with them when they went out. Without rice, if there are too many people, in such a small place, there will be no place to eat. Incomparable to later generations, no matter how remote the place, you can still eat.
After entering the hotel, the waiters served wine and meat. Huang Yuanwai sat down with Tang Zhe and several leaders of the porters to eat and drink. Yunu and Pingping ordered some more wine and meat, and sat at a table alone in the corner.
The shop is not big. Apart from Mr. Huang and others, there are two or three tables of customers. It seemed that they were either villagers nearby or small businessmen.
Just after I had a glass of wine, a big man came in from the door. As soon as he entered the store, he said loudly: "Master, cut two kilograms of cooked mutton and bring me a dime of wine! We walked in a hurry on the road and I am very hungry!"
The waiter agreed loudly and quickly ran behind the counter to get a drink.
Yunu, who was in the corner, heard the sound, felt happy and looked back hurriedly. Sure enough, the person who came was none other than himself, Luan Qingshan.
Luan Qingshan glanced at Yu Nu, smiled slightly, and said nothing. Just sit down at the table and watch the customers in the store.
The boy served meat and wine and poured a bowl of wine for Luan Qingshan. Luan Qingshan picked up the wine and drank it, and praised: "Good wine!"
After saying that, he slammed the wine bowl on the table. Looking at Officer Huang on the table next to him, he said: "Executive Officer, when I came to the store, I saw many porters eating in the open space in the market. It seems that they are the goods picked by the helper?"
Huang Yuanwai heard this and immediately became alert. Said: "So what if it is? So what if it's not?"
Luan Qingshan said: "Nothing. I just told Yuanwai that there is only the Ru River between this place and Wang Kuan's rule. There are two worlds on both sides of the river. Many businessmen who came from the other side of the river were robbed nearby. Yuanwai When you go out, be careful with everything!”
Tang Zhe felt a little panicked after hearing this. He said hurriedly: "What nonsense are you talking about? A peaceful world, a clear world, use these words to scare people! If you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, the reporter will arrest you!"
"Officers? Are there any officials around here?" Luan Qingshan laughed. "After crossing the Ruhe River, you only speak with your fists! You are ignorant!"
Tang Zhe saw that Luan Qingshan was tall and not easy to mess with. I had no choice but to swallow hard and said to Member Huang: "You don't have to listen to his nonsense! There are one or two hundred of us, even if there are robbers, we must avoid us!"
Although Huang Yuanwai was hesitant, he still said to Tang Zhe: "I only said that the Ru River side is not peaceful, so I specially selected some strong porters and paid them more wages. If bandits really come, there are porters to help us. What kind of bandits, how dare you not to kill them?" One or two hundred people take it seriously!"
Luan Qingshan smiled and said he was just eating meat and drinking wine.
After listening to what was said there, Yu Nu didn't understand what Luan Qingshan meant? This is a message to myself, if you want to leave, leave quickly. The robbers are now very bold. They don't have to wait until they are in the mountains or woods to rob, they will start not far ahead.
Seeing that Luan Qingshan stopped talking, Yunu asked the servant to call Tang Zhe.
After sitting down at Yunu's table, Tang Zhe smiled and said, "We are still in a hurry. Why did the lady call me here?"
Yu Nu said: "We have already crossed the Ru River, and the reward you promised me should be paid."
Tang Zhe said: "Why be anxious? We will stay in Linying County when we arrive, and I will give it to you at night."
As he spoke, a pair of lustful eyes looked at Yu Nu's body. After looking at it, he turned his head and looked at Pingping again.
Yunu said coldly: "Guardian, we are not children, you don't need to use these words to deceive me. When we get to the front, we are all your people. At that time, it doesn't matter whether we have money or not, even my life is yours." . This place is not far from the Ruhe River. If I tell Yuanwai Huang to turn back, there is nothing you can do no matter how many people you have. The officials will either give you money or the business will stop!"
Tang Zhe's expression changed drastically after hearing this. What Yu Nu said is right, this place is not far from Ruhe River, and more importantly, none of his people are here. Yu Nu told Huang Yuanwai that the matter might not be done. Regardless of whether Huang Yuanwai believes it or not, he is here for Sister Yunu and will definitely go back.
His face changed again and again, and Tang Zhe said: "Madam, there is no need to be anxious. Why not wait a little longer? I don't have the money. You can wait until night to meet the person who took the money. You want it now, and there is nothing I can do about it."
Yunu sneered: "You don't even have money, so you want nothing to do with it? Needless to say, I will never leave until I see the money!"
After hearing this, Tang Zhe's eyes shone coldly and stared at Yu Nu. The face is ferocious, as if it wants to eat people.
Yu Nu was ruthless, with a cold eyebrow, and his momentum was not weak at all. Pingping on the side saw it and couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Huang Yuanwai, who was eating over there, felt a little jealous when he saw Tang Zhe staying at Yunu's table for such a long time. He shouted loudly: "Commissioner, it's getting late, come here and have an early meal so we can get on the road."
After hearing this, Tang Zhe hesitated for a while, but finally had no choice. He said to Yu Nu: "Whether you believe it or not, the money is indeed not with me. You want money now, and I really have no choice."
Yu Nu said: "If it's not with you, then get it immediately! If you don't see the money in half an hour, I will ruin your business!"
Seeing Yu Nu's resolute attitude, Tang Zhe had no choice but to say: "You wait half an hour to make sure there are not enough Huang members. If you can't do that, you'd better follow me to Linying County! If the business can't be done this time, I'll take the blame on you!" "
Yu Nu said: "You don't have to scare me! Now, whether the business is successful or not has nothing to do with me. I just want to see the money!"
Tang Zhe had no choice but to return to the table and said to Huang Yuanwai: "Executive member, unfortunately, I have something to do and I have to leave for a while. Don't be back in half an hour! You can eat and drink here in peace. I'll come as soon as I go!"
Huang Yuanwai said: "You are not familiar with the place here, what is important? We have many followers, just send someone there."
Tang Zhe said with a smile: "It's an important matter, I have to go in person. Members, don't worry, just wait."
After that, he left the store. He rode his own horse, and as soon as he left the grass market, he immediately galloped away.
When Luan Qingshan saw it in the store, he just smiled. With Tang Zhe's appearance, he knew in his heart that Yu Nu must know what he meant.
In less than half an hour, Tang Zhe returned to the shop. After getting off the horse, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel and took a breath. After entering the store and confessing his crime to Officer Huang, he sat down at Yu Nu's table. He handed a bundle in his hand to the jade slave and said, "Including the fifty guans I gave you earlier, there are a total of 800 guans here. Count them and stop making trouble!"
Jade slave took the bundle, turned around, opened the bundle and looked carefully.
The craftsmanship of Huizi printed in Xiangyang is exquisite, and people around have long recognized it. Until now, no one has been able to make even remotely similar counterfeit coins. The jade slave took a quick look and knew it was a real coin. How much should eight hundred strings be? Where can I find out at once? I just thought it was a big package, so it couldn’t be wrong. He hugged her tightly and winked at Pingping.
Pingping understood. He said to Tang Zhe: "It turns out that he is my relative. It is not good not to meet him. But now he is on the road. What should I do?"
Yu Nu said: "We haven't seen each other for many years. Since we met on the road, of course we have to get together. Officials, you go to Linying County first and wait there. My sister and I will go to see relatives and we will meet later. I’ll find you in Linying.”
As he spoke, a pair of eyes looked at Tang Zhe coldly.
Tang Zhe sighed secretly in his heart. He said: "That's fine. Once you have finished your work, come to Linying to meet us early."
As the three of them talked, they arrived at Mr. Huang's table. Tang Zhe said: "It's a coincidence. I just got news that someone was looking for me. I hurried over and found out that it was Pingping's relatives who happened to see us on the road. Their relatives hadn't seen each other for many years and they just happened to go to meet us. We Let’s go ahead and arrive at Linying County, and then wait for the sisters to meet us.”
