Chapter 4 The Red Aunt of Qingliu Xiaozhu (1)
The foundation of the loess is piled with a thick layer of sand and gravel, and it is rolled firmly with a grinder. The official road more than three meters wide is very bright and easy to walk on.
A mere thirty miles away, the old yellow wolf that Agou was domesticated was very strong and she was playing happily all the way. In less than a quarter of an hour, she carried Chu Tian to Yizhou City.
Outside the towering city gate, several policemen in black were mixed in a group of state soldiers, seemingly dazed in a daze, with a pair of eyes that were even more ruthless than thieves, but they were constantly patrolling the crowd entering and leaving the city.
The old yellow wolf, who was even bigger than the big bull, spitted out a long tongue, jumped out more than ten feet away with a "gudong" and landed heavily at the city gate. Several policemen suddenly became shocked and straightened their bodies, and their sharp eyes quickly swept across Chu Tian's face.
A middle-aged policeman with a strong face separated the two state soldiers and walked over with a smile, rushing to hold his fists to Chu Tian to salute him.
"Cha Chu, are you going to the city again? Alas, Lao Huang, Lao Huang, you are a little more well-behaved. Last time you walked on the street, you swallowed the rooster crowing at Widow Li's house..."
Chu Tian smiled and took half a piece of silver from his sleeve and threw it out: "Please have tea, brothers. It's okay, it's okay, swallowed the big rooster from the widow's house. With Ah Que, the widows in the world can't fight Lao Huang even if they join forces. Well, what's wrong in the city?"
The middle-aged policeman raised his hand quickly and half a piece of silver just came into his cuff.
He shook his sleeves with a smile. The middle-aged policeman patted the panting old Huanglang's head and tiptoed to Chu Tian: "Tsk, it's nothing big, he routinely arrested bandits. A fleet of Chu's ships transported 200,000 pieces of silk satin, and was forced to collect 50% of the passerby tax by the group of old men in the three states. Chu's mulberry silkworm manager was in a state capital, right?"
"Fifty percent? Isn't it 20% as usual?" Chu Tian widened his eyes in shock.
"Scared, isn't it? As usual, it's 20% of the money passed by, but Chu's new mulberry silkworm manager took over the airs of Chu and scolded the old men. He made a big fuss. When he saw Hong, what's good?" The middle-aged policeman shrank his neck and smiled dryly: "If we brothers want to arrest the bandits, it depends on whether we can catch a few unlucky little thieves."
Spreading his hands, the middle-aged policeman chuckled and said, "As for those old men in Sanshan, Chu Zhangtou is his own brother, so he naturally knows where we can deal with it?"
Chu Tian waved his hand, laughed a few times, and licked the corner of his mouth: "One hundred thousand silk satin, be good, how many fish and shrimps do you have to sell?"
The old yellow wolf put away his temper, took small steps, and carried Chu Tian into Jizhou City.
It was faintly that Chu Tian could still hear the secret slander of several policemen and state soldiers behind him: "Scared, isn't this the reason? Big scales share gold, small scales share silver, big bowls eat meat, big bowls drink wine. Nowadays, officials are not as good as thieves! This official dress can be dressed in official skin, so how many benefits can it be?"
Chu Tian laughed silently and shook his head gently.
Walking through the twenty-foot-long city gate cave, it is a urn city of 200 acres.
There is no war on weekdays, and the urncheng is a spontaneous market. Many small vendors set up stalls here and sell some trivial things. Chu Tian rode an old yellow wolf and walked slowly through the urncheng. He then greeted the leaders of the state soldiers stationed at the inner city gate, and invited them to have tea routinely. Then he entered the city of Jizhou seriously.
Without Chu Tian's guidance, the old Huanglang Shumen walked along the streets and alleys of the city of Qizhou. A smooth and greasy smell of powder came over in front. On both sides of the refreshing bluestone street, two exquisite small buildings were arranged in an orderly manner, and the doors facing the street were all closed.
In broad daylight, there were no people on this street. Only in the tea stalls on the street, there were a few hipsters sitting, looking around sneakily. Seeing Chu Tian coming, a few casual men wanted to come up to say hello, but they didn't dare to look like they were nodding to this place with a smile.
Chu Tian nodded slightly to them, and the old yellow wolf had already spitted his long tongue, and he walked to the end of the street with a ticking tick. The huge wolf claws pushed hard towards the varnished small door of a yard.
The old yellow wolf was strong and had great brute force. The wolf claws pushed the yard gate, and the sound of the yard gate was almost pushed down. The four plaques of "Qingliu Xiaozhu" hanging on the lintel were even more "rattle", and a few wisps of dust fell from behind the plaque.
A sharp shout suddenly sounded inside the door: "Which bastard is the one who is so heartless? The door is going to break, the door is going to break, stop, stop, stop, stop, bastard!"
The door opened with a whistle, and a woman who looked forty years old, with red clothes and green skirts, seven or eight jade bracelets on her wrists, two or three kilograms of gold chains hanging around her neck, and a head full of pearls and jade could blind people. Her hands were inserted on the waist of the bucket and glared at Chu Tian fiercely.
"Chu Tian Chu Fast Head!" The woman's bright red lips opened with great force, and a large amount of saliva sprayed out, scaring the old Huanglang so much that he rushed backwards, and then avoided the saliva in her mouth: "Our Qingliu Xiaozhu is serious, you are in broad daylight..."
"Scared, do you have to come in the middle of the night?" The woman Chu Tianchao bulged her eyes and took out a stick of garlic from her sleeve and shook it.
"It's okay to come and drink tea in broad daylight and listen to the song!" The woman's fierce face suddenly filled with smiles. She forced her to twist the thick bucket waist, like a fat penguin jumping up, and quickly grabbed the garlic sticks in Chu Tian's hand with one hand.
His right eye was wide open and his left eye was closed tightly. The woman stuffed garlic sticks into her teeth and bit her hard. She immediately smiled and shouted softly: "Tujin, hehe, Chu's hair is getting rich? Come in, come in, come in, a group of short-lived girls, don't you dress up quickly, Chu's hair is here!"
With a smile of 'hehe', the woman twisted her round waist and shouted: "Good daughters, the Chubiao head you are most concerned about all day long is here! Don't sleep, what are you sleeping? When you die, you will have time to sleep! How many living people are here, Chubiao head is here!"
The woman waved the gold bar of garlic viciously, her eyes widened, and she stared fiercely at the empty and innocent courtyard.
"Xiu's mother just keeps busy, haha, I'm just here to talk to Honggu. Please send me a pot of tea!" Chu Tian patted the old Huanglang's neck. The old Huanglang gently rushed into the yard, and his thick and powerful tail swung his two yard doors tightly, lifted his hind paws, and hung the door bolt.
No one was needed to greet him, the old yellow wolf walked along the veranda in the yard and walked towards the backyard very familiarly.
Xiu's mother laughed like a flower, responded quickly to Chu Tian, stuffed garlic sticks into her sleeves, and jumped happily all the way.
Bypassing the large courtyard in front, I walked more than ten feet along a corridor made of pebbles, and several exquisite courtyards lined up in the back.
