The next morning, the postman cleaned up the room and glanced at him in surprise. Pei Ziyun raised his face and thought for a while, and smiled: "I got up to practice swords last night and accidentally lost some money. I will pay you a lot of money. You can report it yourself, and the extra money is the reward you give."
When the postman saw that it was another three taels of silver, there were only some tables and chairs in the room, which was not worth the price at all, so he laughed: "Thank you, Mr. Jie Yuan, for the reward."
As he said that, he sent Pei Ziyun out. Last night, there was dark clouds, and there was already some light rain, and the snow changed. After going downstairs, he saw Liao Ge watching the snow in front of the door.
Pei Ziyun went over and Liaoge said, "Duke Jieyuan, look at the weather, it will snow heavily later. I have already obtained a straw raincoat, and everyone will have to wear it at that time."
"This is my first time traveling far away, and I will follow the arrangements of these things." Needless to say, the group left the post station, not far away, and took a boat to cross the river.
Shortly after the four people boarded the boat, there was wind and heavy snow fell, hitting the river, and the turbid river water rolled up waves.
Liao Ge wore a straw raincoat and Pei Ziyun were chatting at the bow of the boat, and he could still hear the sound of snow hitting the strawcoat. Liao Ge said with a smile: "The river view in the snow always makes people sigh and makes people happy."
Pei Ziyun nodded: "This feeling and this scene are really poetic. If there is wine, I really want to write a poem."
Liao Ge smiled and said, "Haha, Duke Jie Yuan, do you know that you have a nickname called Jiuxian. I did not bring good wine for this official business, otherwise I would have asked Jie Yuan Jiuxian to drink, recite poems and write the right story, and I would have a good story."
"Yes, it's a pity that there is no wine." Pei Ziyun looked at Jiang Jing and sighed.
At this time, the boat was silent, and only the whistling northwest wind passed by and the rustling of heavy snow falling to the ground. In this silence, Liao Ge said: "Actually, I really envy Mr. Jie Yuan. I am forty-three years old now, and I have finally reached the ninth grade. This official path is really difficult. Speaking of which, I would like to thank Mr. Jie Yuan this time. If it weren't for going to Beijing this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't know when and where I would be able to become the ninth grade."
Pei Ziyun looked into the distance with regret: "This is your opportunity, I don't do my business. If you are not proficient in official ways, I believe that the Governor will not let you do this,"
Liao Ge said, "Duke Jie Yuan, I originally wanted to take the opportunity to thank you and tell you about my daughter, but I never thought that Duke Jie Yuan would not give me this opportunity."
Pei Ziyun for a moment Chen Mo: "I have a sweetheart, thank you for loving you."
When Liao Ge heard Pei Ziyun's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Duke Jie Yuan, my family is only four years old. I was just kidding, so I hope Jie Yuan will not mind."
Pei Ziyun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment before he realized.
Liao Ge smiled bitterly: "I am not from the imperial examination, but after being boiled, I am only from the ninth rank, but this is already the kindness of the Great Xu. In the previous dynasty, I was an official, and I couldn't even get through the threshold."
"I only got a daughter in middle age, so I have no other thoughts. Just get to the ninth rank, get a serious official, add more dowry to my daughter, and marry a good family in the future."
"This is all the opportunities given by Mr. Jie Yuan, so I thank you very much."
Pei Ziyun understood that this world emphasizes equality and a serious official, and has become much more arrogant and better. This is also a kind fatherly heart. Looking at his wrinkled smile, I couldn't help but feel sad.
reed
There was a faint figure, and a group of people were talking in a low voice, holding knives in their hands, wearing straw raincoats, and reeds were weaving them on them, mixing these people with reeds, and it was hard to tell whether they were humans or reeds. These people had murderous aura on their faces.
As the snow fell, it hit these people. They were all wearing white silk. Among them, there was a little girl holding her father's hand. This was the father and daughter who were eating cold steamed buns at the inn.
There was a table among the reeds, with bowls on it, filled with strong wine, and a chicken. Someone took the chicken on the ground, pulled out a knife to kill it, and poured the chicken blood into the wine.
He took his daughter's father to the front, picked up the wine bowl and raised it, and shouted: "Today, we want to avenge the people of Fu County and kill these two people, but these two people are officials and the other is a juren. If we kill these two people, we have no way out. Today, everyone has done this glass of blood wine."
Hearing this, everyone raised their wine bowls and cried: "Brother Qi, all seven of my family were killed by the Japanese pirates. When the Japanese pirates fled to the sea, we will kill the two dog officials who colluded with the Japanese pirates first."
"What I mean is that, sooner or later, we will fight our lives to die with them."
Seeing everyone's words, the little girl looked stubborn and went up to get a glass of wine. The father was stunned and said, "Gua'er, what are you doing?"
The little girl stepped forward stubbornly: "Father, you can drink this blood wine, I can drink it too. My mother was killed by the Japanese pirates. I also have a great hatred with the Japanese pirates. Today I will be a blood alliance. Even if I am a woman, I will drink this blood wine and do my best."
Listening to the little girl's words, everyone in the venue was silent. Who doesn't have this deep hatred of blood?
A big man beside the father said, "Guo'er, since you have this kind of heart, how can we refuse? Brother, you should be proud of Guo'er. But Guo'er, you are young and can't take up a knife. Killing is not suitable for you."
"Uncle Chen!" The girl shouted, and listening to the little girl's shouting, the big man laughed: "We are going to kill this dog official and a juren today. At that time, Xiaoqing, you will help us bury the corpses of these two dog officials, which is also a contribution to your killing of the thief."
"Thank you, Uncle Chen." The little girl smiled sweetly as she listened to the man's words.
"Fuck together, kill these two thieves for the people of Fu County!" Brother Qi shouted loudly.
"Fuck together to avenge the parents, brothers and sisters in Fuxian County." Everyone shouted loudly, then they raised the wine bowl and drank the bloody wine in big gulps. After drinking, they smashed the bowl to the ground. The bowl fell to the ground, making a bang, and pieces of porcelain tiles splashed everywhere.
"Cough cough" Xiaoqing choked several times while drinking blood wine, and was not willing to be outdone. She drank all the wine by these elders. She fell the bowl to the ground, but the first time she didn't break it, and picked it up and fell it the second time, which was the break.
At this time, the father touched the little girl's head: "Gua'er, you hide in the reeds later, don't come out. Dad and uncle will kill these two thieves who colluded with Japanese pirates."
"Okay, father. I just want to come back safely. My mother was killed by the Japanese pirates. I can't live without my father." Hearing Guo'er's words, the big man who was cast in iron turned his head and looked up at the sky. The rain and snow hit his face, mixed with tears, and couldn't tell what it was.
After a while, the father lowered his head: "Gua'er, go hide in the grass, let's go. No matter what happens, you don't come out."
Speaking of this, Brother Qi's face turned into a firm and a look: "Brothers, follow me!"
The snow rain continued, Pei Ziyun entered the cabin, and the four of them were cooking fires in the cabin. Although the scenery of the river snow was beautiful, it was too cold and cold.
As I was talking, I suddenly felt something hit by the boat, and then there was no sound.
"Boatman? Boatman?" A soldier shouted, heading outside. Seeing that there was no one on the boat, there was only one wave of water. He remembered the sound of diving just now. The soldier was retiring for a long time. He was shocked and shouted: "No, we were ambushed."
As the soldiers shouted and heard the sound of chiseling boats under the boat, the soldiers in the boat changed their faces and hurriedly said, "Sir, no, this boatman is chiseling the bottom of the boat and wants to drown us in this river."
"Hurry, row to the shore." Liao Ge was also frightened and shouted loudly.
"It's an adult." Xiang Bing was also decisive and found a way to row over after receiving the order.
"Duke Jie Yuan, what do you think of this?" Liao Ge's face changed.
Pei Ziyun's face was cold. Someone was assassinated last night, and someone wanted to tamper with the boat today. I listened to the sound. Before long, a small hole was found under the boat and began to leak.
There was another sound of a boat chiseling sound, and a cold light flashed in Pei Ziyun's eyes, he pulled out his sword, felt it, and replied coldly: "Of course I'm sending him to the underworld."
As he said that, he stabbed one by one, and with a "puff" sound, the thick bottom of the boat penetrated most of the sword like tofu, and then pulled it out, and a stream of blood sprayed on it.
On the side of the shore, these people looked at the river and whispered: "Lao Wu is good at water. As long as Lao Wu sinks the boat, even if these people swim to the shore, they will be exhausted. Maybe they will be killed by Lao Wu in the river. I will avenge this a little."
"Boss, look, those people rowed the boat, but the boat seemed to have been chiseled through." A big man pointed at him, it was obvious that the boat was sinking.
Pei Ziyun went out of the cabin and looked at the boat and frowned. The boat was still fifty or sixty meters away from the shore. There were reeds on the shore. I couldn't see if there was an ambush inside. But now the boat was about to sink. He was drinking: "I have killed the boatman, just plug the gap with cloth and cotton. We will be safe when we get on the shore."
"Yes, Duke Jie Yuan."
Several people in the reed looked at the scene and couldn't help but frown. The boat was rowing towards the shore. Why didn't the boat sink? Could it be that Lao Wu had failed?
Seeing the boat getting closer and closer to the dock, Pei Ziyun looked at the reeds in the distance, smiled coldly, took off his inconvenient robe, revealing a pair of soft armor inside.
Liao Ge was a little shocked and said, "Donald Jie Yuan wants to go down and kill the thief?"
Pei Ziyun looked at the thick reeds and drew out his sword: "The boat was chiseled through and I can't hold on for too long. Let's lean on it. If it is stranded, there will be nothing to do and will not sink!"
"But these reeds are densely packed, and I'm afraid there will be ambush when I dock. I'll go down and check it out first. You are protecting Lord Liao on the boat." Pei Ziyun said as he arranged it, jumped down and landed among the reeds.
The snow was cold and some people in the reeds did not have military tactics. When they saw someone jumping down, they shouted: "Brothers, come with me and kill me!"
