Chapter 2 Businessman Zhang Yifu

"Young master, it's already noon now, so why not find a place to rest in front and drink some hot soup to warm up." After walking for a long time, Li Xin couldn't find a good way to get out, but Yang Xiong in front came over.

"It's up to Captain Yang." Li Xin nodded, got off the carriage with Gao Meng's support, looked around, but found a wine shop not far ahead of him, which drove along the official road. Although it was not the ordinary season, it was still relatively safe in Shandong. There were many people doing business, and there were faint sounds of talking from the wine shop, mostly merchants coming and going.

"I dare not, I dare not." Yang Xiong was also a loyal and righteous man, allowing Gao Meng to support Li Xin. As for other clips, shackles and other things, they were not allowed to be the prison clothes Li Xin was wearing, probably no one would know that he was a murderer.

As Li Xin and others entered the restaurant, the laughter and noise in the restaurant suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Li Xin and his group with curious eyes.

"Young master, please sit down." Yang Xiong glanced at some prisoners behind him and said, "You all find a rest outside! Doctor Xin, come in!" Doctor Xin ran in happily when he heard this, and then bowed to Li Xin. He knew that he could enter the restaurant because he saved Li Xin's life.

"Waiter, go and get a basket of steamed buns and give them to those outside, then cut a pound of beef, make some meat soup, add a pot of wine, and get some wine dishes." Yang Xiong called on the other yamen runners to sit down, but let Li Xin sit in the chief. He sat on the side with him, and another yamen runner named Jiang Yi sat aside.

"Young Master, this place is like this. When you arrive in Jinzhou, Yang Xiong will invite you to have something good." Yang Xiong's face showed a hint of embarrassment. Jiang Yi on the other side also nodded.

"I dare not bother the two captains. Li Xin is just a crime. He is satisfied with being treated like this. He is not too late to hope for anything else." Li Xin finally decided to survive for the time being. After all, his body is extremely weak now. Even if he escapes, he may not be able to escape and is captured. More importantly, the yamen runners in front of him are extremely good to him. It is not too late to take care of his body first and then make other plans.

"Young Master, why did you say this? Ling Zun took great care of us at the beginning. Although Ling Zun has passed away, how can we forget Ling Zun's kindness?" Yang Xiong said with a righteous thought. Jiang Yi on the side also nodded repeatedly. Li Xin could only say thanks. People in this dynasty still value the way of loyalty and righteousness.

At this time, the waiter served beef, broth, and some dishes to drink. Yang Xiong respectfully brought the broth to Li Xin.

"Oh, it's really strange these days. It's really rare to see a prisoner who is a man in white, and he's looking at Yang Xiong and others with a sarcastic look.

"You are so strange. What does it have to do with you?" Jiang Yi slapped the table and looked at the young master coldly and said.

"Hmph, prisoners are prisoners, how can they eat with them?" The young man snorted coldly: "If prisoners are treated like this, then I am afraid everyone in the Ming Dynasty will be a prisoner."

"Hmph, you, do you know who the young master is in front of you?" Yang Xiong's face changed, his eyes were like lightning, and he looked at the young master and said, "If it were other prisoners, I, Yang Xiong, would not threaten to do this, but Mr. Li is not someone else. Yang Xiong was also ordered by others to do this?"

"Who is he? He is just a prisoner." The young man said disdainfully.

"Hahaha, you guys travel around the world, but you know a major event that happened not long ago. Huai'an Prefect Li Gu was framed by a traitor. Not only was he wrongly killed, but he was also sent to Liaodong. " Yang Xiong laughed loudly, swept everyone around him and said.

"So it's Lord Li's son?" A series of discussion suddenly sounded in the wine shop. It was obvious that someone had heard of Li Gu's name and also heard about this person. The eyes of Li Xin were filled with a hint of admiration.

"It turns out to be the son of Lord Li. Then Lord Li Gu is a good official! He resisted the fact that he wanted to build a temple for Wei Yan, but good people were not rewarded. Such a person was said to be Wei Yan's remnants and was reported. It is really hard to find good officials now!" Someone said in the crowd.

"I heard that it was impeached by a high-ranking official named Wen Tiren." Another well-informed person said in the crowd.

"No, no, this person named Wen Tiren is good at deceiving superiors and concealing subordinates. Lord Li doesn't know what was wrong for him, so he was killed. I think Lord Li used to fight against Wei Yin for the country and the people, but in the end he was summarized as a first-class eunuch party. It's so sad!" Someone said in the crowd, his tone filled with a hint of disdain.

"Hmph, if Li Gu was not a eunuch party, how could Wei Yi be promoted to him?" At this time, the young man's face flashed with fear, and then he said coldly: "If it weren't for relying on Wei Yi, how could this be done?"

"Hehe, if you rely on eunuchs, then Wen Tiren is no worse than Lord Li Gu." At this time, a fat man was gloomy and stood up, saying disdainfully: "Don't say that Lord Li has never attached to eunuchs, even if he is dependent on it? The people only know that Lord Li is a clean official, and a good official is enough. However, Wen Tiren came to rely on eunuchs and curry favor with Zhou Yanru, causing trouble to the court. How could such a person be in charge of the center? This is the real joke."

"You, it's really damn you dare to discuss the government affairs." The young man's face turned red, his eyes were filled with shame and annoyance, and then pointed at the fat man and said, "What are you? How dare you discuss the argument... Lord Wen?"

"The villain is just a merchant. Hehe, his mouth grows on people. You are also a scholar. Have you never heard of the truth that guarding people is more important than guarding rivers?" The businessman was a clever man. After saying that, he bowed to Li Xin and said, "Kaifeng Zhang Yifu met Mr. Li. Ling Zun's order has been spread throughout Henan for a long time. Although the villain is a lowly person, he has admired Ling Zun for a long time. Seeing the master today is a regret in his heart."

Li Xin stood up tremblingly, bowed to Zhang Yifu and said, "If my father knew what he said, he would definitely be smiling. Li Xin thanked Mr. for his righteous words."

"I dare not take it, I dare not take it." Zhang Yifu quickly returned the favor. Although Li Xin was a person who was guilty, he was a officials. In the Ming Dynasty, merchants were indeed rich in the world, but in terms of status, they were even worse than those farmers, and being made a low-key career. At this time, Li Xin bowed to him, so he naturally felt guilty. Seeing his appearance, Gao Meng and others' expressions improved a lot.

"What a bunch of untouchables." The young man snorted and glanced at everyone, then led his servants out of the restaurant without looking back. After a while, he heard a sound of horse hooves, which spread far away.

"The villain thinks that the young master is weak. If this continues, he may not be able to withstand the severe cold of Liaodong!" Zhang Yifu looked at Li Xin carefully and said carefully.

"If it weren't for Dr. Xin, I'd probably have been dead to the end of the year. I would have to thank Captain Yang and several adults for taking good care of him these days." Li Xin picked up the broth in front of him and said, "Li Xin used soup instead of wine, and toast you all."

"I dare not, I dare not." Yang Xiong and others quickly stood up, each of them picked up the wine bowls in front of them, and said repeatedly.

"Although the young master is weak, he looks so handsome and is probably not an ordinary person in his life!" Zhang Yifu said with a laugh.

"It would be great to go to Liaodong this time to save your life." Li Xin took a sip of the broth and sighed deeply.

"Don't worry, my little man knows some people in Liaodong. When I arrive in Liaodong, I will take care of it and I will definitely arrange a relaxing job for the young master." The Yifu's eyes turned, with a mysterious look on his face and said in a low voice: "I have some friendship with the general general of Liaodong, and arranging the young master is just a trivial matter."

"The General Zu you are talking about is General Zu Dashou Zu?" Li Xin pondered for a moment before asking.

"It was him. I didn't expect that the young master knew General Zu's name even when he was far away in Huai'an." Zhang Yifu was obviously surprised that Li Xin knew Zu Dashou's name.

"Know, know." Li Xin nodded and said with a smile: "General Zu is awesome in Liaodong. If his name is not familiar, that would be a strange thing!" Li Xin was right. Whether in the present or in Li Xin's past, he knew Zu Dashou. Now the Ming Dynasty highly praised Zu Dashou. In later generations, Li Xin also knew some of Zu Dashou's affairs, but he knew that this person did not do anything good in the end, and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Although he had no choice, after surrendering, he was dedicated to serving the Qing Dynasty. This made Li Xin look down on this person. However, at this time, Li Xin was helpless and could only meet Zhang Yifu's words.

"Don't worry, Master Zu is in charge of Jinzhou at this moment, defeating the Eastern Captains many times, and his Guanning Iron Cavalry is even more powerful in Liaodong. Even the Eastern Captains dare not underestimate General Zu. As long as the young master arrives in Liaodong, he will wait for a few years. When the emperor pardons the world, he will naturally be able to come back." Zhang Yifu comforted him.

Li Xin nodded, but did not take this matter to heart, but said with a smile: "I don't know what business Zhang Jiangui is doing? He actually wants to travel between Liaodong and Central Plains?"
