Chapter 54
Liangjie Mountain, Xihekou.
This place in Hexi Fort is a special place.
Compared with the post forts in other places, this place is built along the ancient road of the Bianguan Great Wall. The Hexi Fort is less than 40 miles north, which is the ancient Great Wall left by the Qin Dynasty.
The Great Wall is not long, but is built between two high mountains, just connecting the areas between the two mountains.
Therefore, it is called the Two Realms Mountain.
Xihekou means the underground estuary in Hexi Fort, which is diversion here, one to the east and the other to the north, so it is also called Lianghekou.
The water at Xihekou can be traced back to the Yellow River as far as the distance, which means that the water in this river flows all the way to the Yellow River.
Ah, Yellow River, the great mother river!
The Fort is a wall. Zhao Xiaonian came to Hexi Fort in his early years and had some understanding of Hexi Fort based on his previous memories.
Just like a medieval castle, Hexi Fort was built with walls to protect the entire inn. However, with its development, Hexi Fort was relatively large in scale, so the castle became larger and larger, from the first floor to the current three floors. It was divided into inner fort and outer fort, and there were also upper and slums.
It feels unreasonable to think of this. This is the disadvantage of the feudal serf society. People oppress people and oppress people.
But what can this happen? Even in modern society, isn’t there still such a social system? Zhao Xiaonian just felt a little uncomfortable in this regard and could not stand the cruelty of this exploiting class, but soon felt that it should be like this.
The thoughts surprised him for a moment, and even felt that when he recalled Zhao Xiaonian's memories before, his old ideas and old thinking would also erode his own thoughts.
This made Zhao Xiaonian bow his head and ponder. Even when he was walking around the wall of Hexi Fort, he was not in the mood to see this castle that was about to belong to him.
The final idea of Xiao Jinzi's affairs has been decided. Maybe he should recognize Xiao Jinzi. After all, Xiao Jinzi is for him to play. If he doesn't play, should he blame him?
Just like in the past, I invited customers to play in KTVs to sign a contract, but when the customers were not satisfied, just drinking and singing, wouldn’t they just follow the local customs?
There is no way, it is a group insurance order worth tens of millions, that is an opportunity!
Then I thought, I have arrived in this world, shouldn’t I follow the local customs?
Hehehe...
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaonian had energy in his eyes and looked up at the front.
It's said it's a castle, but the wall is not as high as expected. Why...
When I was about to reach the door, I accidentally felt a pair of sharp eyes looking at him somewhere, but when I looked up, I saw no one.
As the team arrived at the door, there was a archway, and behind it was a fort gate made of dozens of logs nailed. At this moment, a dying person was hanging on the head of the door.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Zhao Xiaonian.
The man was wearing a coarse linen dress, with gray hair, and a trace of blood on his wrinkled face. The empty and desolate old eyes looked at the person coming in. A trace of blood slowly flowed along his body to the dirty feet wearing straw sandals.
From this perspective, it’s a farmer, why are you hanging here?
Everyone couldn't help but look at Zhao Xiaonian. This was probably a provocation!
You should know that although Dajian was a feudal system, it was not a serfdom. Peasants had legal status, so unless they were official, they could not abuse lynching and punish farmers.
But when Zhao Xiaonian came here, there was no squire at the door, but only the hanging peasant. What does that mean?
Damn it!
Immediately, someone let the old farmer go down!
Swallowing dry spit, the old man was still reminding him weakly: "Master, don't do this, it will provoke people. Don't..."
Looking at their water bags, they couldn't help but twitch their tongues, but the old man still waved his hand weakly: "Master, don't."
This makes people feel like a knife.
Finally, Zhao Xiaonian came forward in person and took a kettle to fill him with water. The old man could no longer shed tears, so he could only close his eyes and point his trembling fingers forward.
When he turned around, he was in Hexi Fort opposite, and there were seven or eight gentry standing there looking at him coldly.
OK, Zhao Xiaonian stood up and turned to look at them.
One finger!
———
"Domineering, looking for death!" The leader of the squire opposite, smiled, and even saw the two gold teeth coming, but a sound that popped out of his mouth that was extremely incompatible with his smile.
"The person who comes is not good!" The fat squire beside him smiled like him.
"The godson of the prefect." The squire also said
"It's not easy to mess with!" Another master also said to him.
The Golden Teeth Squire took the lead and strode forward, clasping her fists with her hands as if she was saluting Zhao Xiaonian. She still said with a smile: "It's going to rain and my mother wants to get married. If there is no wind, the sand will rise, and the sand that blows the eyes will be rubbed into her eyes."
"Those who come are not good will not come."
"The godson of the prefect."
"Is this a former war? Take the initiative?"
The Golden Teeth Squire grinned: "Don't worry, play with him!"
...
The six gentry in this group, led by the Golden Tooth gentry, all came to the door.
When I saw Zhao Xiaonian, a master next to me smiled and then clasped his fists and introduced: "Hey, in the Banban of the Fort King of Hexi, which of you is the new Fortress Lord Zhao Xiaonian?"
This is a question that is rightfully asked. Who is Zhao Xiaonian? He knows it when he looks at this group of people. He is just not giving face to him!
At this time, there were already a hawk and dogs who had to pounce on him to clean up this kind of garbage without eyes, but unexpectedly, there was no one at this moment!
Zhao Xiaonian, who was supposed to easily resolve the crisis, couldn't help but remain silent and looked around.
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were lined up on both sides, majestic and domineering, but he was following the leader of the Little Nian Gema, waiting for the orders but not trying!
Embarrassing!
Tiebi Amu, I still eat Yongchang roasted rolls there!
This guy...
Zhao Xiaonian doesn’t want to talk about him anymore. Now, he actually regrets taking away the iron arm Amu. It’s not worth it, it’s not worth it.
How should we respond to this kind of thing? Once we respond, we will be inferior, but Zhang Long and Zhao Hu are the yamen's tolerance. They are good at beating and arresting people. But if they are intrigue, they are really not the case, but if there is little gold around them...
That's different!
Why do landlords have to keep hawks, dogs, and lackeys?
That will bare the teeth at whoever you catch!
If Xiao Jinzi was there, he wouldn't have to touch his mouth. Xiao Jinzi would bite the dog slaves under the feet of these big landlords and scream. Then wouldn't he have face?
However, Xiao Jinzi was not here, and the speechless Zhao Xiaonian couldn't help but look at the Golden Tooth Squire. He was exterminated when he came to Hexi Fort!
What an arrogant guy. If this thief doesn’t kill him, he is afraid that his head, the lord, cannot be placed on his shoulders!
