Chapter 490 I really got hooked

Wang Daokun, the Minister of War, suddenly complained that he was ill at home.¥f,.

It is almost the end of the year, and the weather is cold and heavy snow is everywhere. This is naturally not surprising to ordinary officials. Although Wang Daokun is still in his prime and is less than fifty years old, in this era when colds may lose his life, it is reasonable to rest for a few days without going to court without attending court. At this time, Wang Daokun transferred seven or eight capable old servants from his home to give New Year gifts in Huizhou next time. After all, the canal is frozen, and it is really a chore to go to Huizhou by land in this cold day. It is not known that he can't catch up with the New Year.

Which wealthy southerner is a Beijing official in the north? He wouldn’t send people to his hometown to deliver things two or three months earlier, but would rather deliver them early and then actually deliver them to his door when he was ten days or half a month before the New Year?

The team of Wang's mansion left the city to send New Year gifts to his hometown was eight riders, a blue cotton mule cart. It seemed inconspicuous when leaving Chongwen Gate. The capital had always had a pattern of western and wealthy fortune, but not all the high-ranking officials were crowded with acre of three-point land in the west. As the inner city was filled with people, there were many officials living in the east. Of course, the guards of Chongwen Gate were also very bright. It was okay to enter the city, but the routine investigation of leaving the city was even more inconspicuous. Facing the mule cart with the Wang brand on the sign of Wang, when asked, it was from the Wang family, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, several people smiled and let go without thinking.

When they walked out of the city and walked on the official road, a group of eight people and a car were slowly walking, and they did not rush to send New Year gifts. On the main road, the snow on the road had been sent by the government to clear out the middle section where they could walk, but from time to time, there would be freezing horse hooves on the road, so the slow-speed group inevitably had their journeys even more hindered. After more than half a day, until the afternoon, the road was less than ten miles away. On the road, pedestrians heard several horse riders outside the mule cart cursing there.

"The New Year is the one who has to go all the way to Huizhou!"

"Uncle, didn't you say you went to Huizhou to give New Year gifts?"

"Aren't the New Year's Day, that guy in the carriage dared to go back to Huizhou? He is not afraid of people beating him to death! He is now half dead, and I don't know if he can hold on the road."

"Shut up and forget the master's instructions? The master really doesn't want to be troublesome. Besides, this guy is already scared. Then he plans to leave quickly. Stop talking nonsense, and after reaching the south with peace of mind, there will be rewards!"

Although these comments were not loud, compared to the howling cold wind and the noise on the road, there was only a slight movement, if you were really interested, you could still see and hear it. In the evening, when these people were staying in an inn, the guy who came forward saw a hooded black cloak coming out of the mule cart. He needed someone to help him when he walked. Obviously, he was either injured or sick, and couldn't help but stutter.

It's a cold day, but I'm still rushing to the road in such a cold state, not afraid of dying halfway?

However, not long after the group entered the inn, they had not yet said how many rooms they wanted, what food and food they wanted, or other requests, and suddenly heard a shout from behind. Then, seven or eight people broke in. The man walking in front came forward carelessly and deliberately or unintentionally hit the mysterious man in a black hooded cloak. Hearing a squeal of uncontrollable pain, he suddenly pulled down the guy's hood, and saw that his hair was messy and gray. But the man tried his best to bury his head and refused to look at him. He immediately burst into laughter.

"Shuai Jiamo, you are a dog guy today? I remember when you went to Huizhou Prefecture to sue Xia Shishizi injustice, how could the justice of the world be with you?"

At this time, the most steady man among the eight riders came forward to stop him: "Hey. Who are you? This is the guest sent to the south by my master, not Shuai Jiamo!"

"Not you called Shuai Jiamo? That's really strange. I can recognize this guy even if he turned into ashes! When I was in Huizhou four years ago, this guy made a big fuss about what it was unfair to send more than 9,000 pieces of summer tax silk in She County, and it was unfair to send all six counties. After so many years, I have been working tirelessly to file complaints here and there, and I went to Nanjing to Beijing. Now I run away with my tail between my legs?"

At this moment, many guests gathered in the inn. When they heard such disputes, they were all curious. There were also good things to ask the people who later asked for clues, but they learned that it was for the matter of how much summer tax was distributed in Huizhou, the man who stopped Shuai Jiamo and refused to leave was indeed defamed without any mercy, while the other companions around him were afraid that the world would not be in chaos, and they were all trying hard to promote Shuai Jiamo's deeds. As they listened, many guests who stayed at the guest tasted a little, and looked at Shuai Jiamo's eyes without realizing it.

He turned out to be a man who was willing to pay less taxes for the sake of the people of a county, so he dared to go to the government to complain for three or four years. Seeing this tragic situation, isn’t it offending people? He will be humiliated to this point. It’s simply unreasonable to the world!

Only the shopkeeper and two friends of this inn were squeezed out at this moment. When there were too many inns, they encountered such strange and inexplicable scenes for the first time. The young man who first welcomed people into the store muttered to himself: "It's strange, the swearing thing is always the dog, but how could he say it seems to be a promotional achievement for the Shuai?"

"You boy is not stupid." The shopkeeper has lived for most of his life. Now he is not just meddling in other people's business like those good customers. The bystanders are clear, so he can taste it. At this moment, he narrowed his eyes and whispered, "If things are abnormal, they are a monster. Look, this matter should have just begun, and it's still early to end!"

Sure enough, just as the man and his companions laughed and cursed loudly, and the guests staying in the hotel were watching the show with relish, the Shuai Jiamo, who seemed so weak that he would fall down with a push, even with the support of two Wang family servants, suddenly lowered his head and asked hoarsely: "Don't you feel guilty if you bully people like this?"

Hearing the word bullying, the man who started the trouble at the beginning couldn't help but laughed gloating: "I'm sorry? What's wrong with me? You She County wants to transfer these more than 9,000 pieces of summer tax silk to our five counties. Who can agree? Shuai Jiamo, you are asking for your own fault today..."

However, almost in an instant, he saw Shuai Jiamo's hunched body standing straight. He used his sleeves and gray hair to hide his face, but now he let his face appear in front of others. But as soon as he met, his subsequent derogatoryness was broken into his mouth. Instead, he was shocked.

This guy is not Shuai Jiamo, who is that?

"This drama that is clearly criticized and actually praises is good. It should be rewarded, but it is really a flaw if you don't recognize the person! You can recognize him even if you keep saying that Shuai Jiamo turned into ashes. Do you still recognize him? We left the mansion of Wang Shilang today and said that we were going to Huizhou to give New Year gifts, which is the temporary decision to announce the matter temporarily. From leaving the Wang family to here, it takes only a few hours to find someone who is here, you can find a Shuai Jiamo and chase us all the way here to sarcastically? Don't tell me that this is a chance encounter. If there is such an encounter in the world, I might as well find a small restaurant to run into it and meet the chief minister of the dynasty!"

Shuai Jiamo, who had been sad and grey, took off the wig on her head and tore off a lot of the messy folds on her face. She turned out to be a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. When he heard the teasing of the gun and clamping the stick, the man wanted to find a crack to get in, or to flee. However, what made him helpless was that the door had been firmly guarded by the Wang family, and the young man who was facing him even threw a sentence that made him even more panicked.

"Also, I just said that we are five counties, so I ask you, Qimen, Wuyuan, Jixi, Xiuning, and Yi County. Each county has a different accent. Please give me a local accent with a straightforward word? If you are really from Huizhou, I just thought that those words that were just for Shuai Jiamo were confused. If not, I would have been spy on the palace of the third-rank official in the court. The evil words in the public confusing the people's hearts. Don't blame me for sending you to Shuntian Mansion directly!"

At this moment, not to mention that the guests in the classroom were all shocked and suspicious, the shopkeeper and the two friends who were watching the fun behind almost didn't stare out their eyes. They realized that the two groups of guests in front and back were suspected of performing, but they thought they were just playing together, but who would have thought that the group in front suddenly tear apart and forced the group of people behind to a dead end!

Even the old shopkeeper couldn't help but rub his eyes and muttered in a low voice: "Now, I really can't see clearly what's going on!"

"Brothers, go!"

The man who played the leading role of the song and writing before, had a few words burst out without thinking, and then rushed towards the young man who had pretended to be handsome Jiamo. However, the other party did not move at all, and he felt that someone was kicking hard behind him. Then he suddenly flew up, and then fell heavily to the ground and fell into the mud. When he got up in a daze, he saw that all the people he brought were thrown to the ground and could only lie there and hum. At that moment, he was furious and suddenly turned into fear and shouted subconsciously.

"We are just a pawn who is sent to the public to take money and eliminate disasters. Please show mercy to your subordinates!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a figure flashing in front of him. Someone grabbed his collar and pulled him up from the ground. He slapped him in the face: "Whose money will be used to eliminate the disaster?"

Although the big shave made the face so painful that the man recognized the young man who had eaten it before and didn't know how much teasing and sarcastic he had done. He immediately did not dare to neglect it and said hurriedly: "That man came and went in a hurry, and I didn't know him either, but he wrote the words before me! We collected 100 taels of silver from others, and then we ran this time in a cold day!"

Although he knew that the hasty bait was set up to fish, and the possibility of fishing for small shrimps was the highest, and he might not even have any results, Wang Fulin understood even more that it was a test rather than a warning, but he designed the illusion to make people think that Shuai Jiamo had gone through hardships and wanted to leave Beijing. As for Wang Daokun, his intentions were fading away and he wanted to protect himself! After this incident, he and other relevant people could confirm that the person who planned Shuai Jiamo this time was probably not a simple person from the other five counties in Huizhou Prefecture, that was enough.

Therefore, he did not continue to ask questions, threw the person on the ground, and then clapped his hands and said, "Shopkeeper, stay in the store."

These people really want to stay? Well, that's right, I can't get in even if I go back to the city at this time, and there is a curfew in the capital!

He found that there were five or six tables and stools that had been knocked down in the front hall of the shop. The shopkeeper was feeling distressed. He felt relieved when he saw someone throwing out a ingot of broken silver. But what Wang Fulin said later made him happy immediately.
