Volume Two, Accession to the WTO, Chapter 39, Departing from the Valley of the King of Medicine, on the way from Huzhou
Chapter 39 Departing from Yaowang Valley, the road starts from Huzhou
After leaving the Chu family, Feng Yu, who bowed and tied his belt on his back, also went to Pufa Temple. The two masters were kind and they should say goodbye before leaving.
When he arrived in front of Pufa Temple and looked at the closed door, Feng Yu realized that it was not even dawn yet and the master was still resting. What was I doing here? I originally wanted to express my gratitude. Could it be that I had also saved them from their dreams?
Do you want to wake me up? Thinking about it, I stopped waiting and left a letter to say goodbye, but the content was different.
The rooster crows, and a hint of fish belly white lights up in the east. Older people are never greedy for bed. Butler Fu Bo got up to move his body, but he caught a glimpse of Feng Yu's room door wide open. He looked in curiously and saw that it was clean and tidy.
There was nothing else but a mattress, table and chairs. He picked up the conspicuous letter on the table and hurried to the owner of the house, "Master, Master Yu, he's gone." Chu Xiangfeng and Chu Xiangtian paused while drinking morning tea.
After a moment, he said, "Yes, I understand, butler, go and do your work."
The Yaowang Valley is located in the southwest and is quite far away from Fengyu. So I bought a horse on the way and galloped around to try to get there as soon as possible.
Huzhou, named because of Taiping Lake, has always been rich in products and famous for its agriculture and fishery. Every early autumn, many plump crabs and clear-tailed shrimps are shipped to the capital. The best ones are naturally offered as tribute.
, the most delicious shrimps and crabs in the Tang Dynasty definitely come from Huzhou. However, precisely because of the existence of Taiping Lake, sometimes what is brought to the people may not be peace. Once heavy rains continue and the water level of Taiping Lake rises, the consequences can be imagined.
Know.
The way of the monarch is to take from the people and use it for the people. When Huzhou has a good harvest, a large amount of people's taxes will be paid to the state treasury every year. When there are floods, the court will naturally allocate money for disaster relief.
On this day, Feng Yu passed through Huzhou on his westward journey. It was just after the flood. As he led his horse, he encountered many displaced people along the way. After giving some charity, he didn't have much left, but he encountered more and more refugees.
In front, an old man was hobbling along on crutches, not knowing where he was going.
Feng Yu trotted and stopped the old man: "Hello, old man, I'm not a bad person, I just want to go west and pass by Huzhou. I want to know what happened here and why there are so many refugees."
The old man was full of exhaustion and hunger. He looked at the young man in front of him. Although he was not a rich man, but he looked like a poor man, he said, "Young man, Taiping Lake has been flooded again this year. Many of our villages by the lake have been flooded.
I can only go to the main city to make a living."
"Old man, I see that your legs and feet are not good, why don't you get on your horse and I'll take you there. I happen to be going to Huzhou City to find a place to rest, how about we go together?"
As the old man got older, he was really moved, "Well, thank you very much, little brother."
"You're welcome. Come, I'll help you get on the horse. You must be able to sit firmly."
The journey was not far, and it didn't take long before we could already see the city gate tower. There were many victims outside the city gate, and they were queuing up for inspection. It seemed that the area affected by the flood was really quite large.
When he arrived at the tall gate, Feng Yu discovered that not only the refugees had to queue up, but also anyone who wanted to enter the city had to queue up, and he couldn't jump in the queue and leave first.
"Old man, please stand in front of me and we will line up together."
"Thank you. Good people will be rewarded."
The crowds were crowded, and judging by the speed of the march, these officers and soldiers were really serious about their duties. They were bored in their free time, so they simply chatted with the old man.
"Old man, since all the refugees are rushing to the county government, why are you the only one? Is there no one else at home?"
"Haha, old man, although I am a bit shabby, I have always followed the rules and I am very lucky. My son and daughter-in-law opened an inn in this city of Huzhou to do some business, because our Huzhou is famous for its rice, fish, shrimp and other things.
There are a lot of businessmen, and the business is pretty good. They are all decent people, and they don’t seek to be rich and powerful. They just want to live a good life. No, my daughter-in-law has added a big fat boy to our family. Not long ago, the old lady brought a baby to them.
My grandson went there. The flood was a bit serious this time, so I also went to my son’s place to take shelter.”
"Old man, my son's business is so good, why do you still stay alone in the country? It would be great to go to the city and enjoy the blessings."
"Little brother, you don't know. Our family is considered a fisherman in the village. Our old arms and legs can do something every year. If we can subsidize them a little, let them be less tired. Besides, the fish
The shrimps and crabs are so big and fresh that I would eat them if I caught them at home, but the price is so high, I would definitely not be willing to buy them myself.”
"Uncle, thank you for your hard work."
"Haha, by the way, little brother, don't you want to stay in a hotel? Go to my son's place and I'll ask him to give it to you for free."
Feng Yu thought to himself: With so many people in Huzhou, it would be difficult to find an inn. This would be a good idea.
"Old man, it's better to be respectful than to obey. However, you still have to pay for the rent. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called business. At most, a small discount will be enough."
After waiting a few steps, it was finally their turn.
The two teams of officers and soldiers stood upright on both sides of the gate, and the four people headed by the middle were responsible for registration and review.
"Next!"
The old man stepped forward and said, "Hello, Master Jun."
"Name, where do you live."
"My name is Xu Demei. I live in Feishui Village, east of the city. My family is all at the Anxin Inn in the city."
After asking a lot of questions, he had to be looked back and forth carefully by four officers and soldiers before he was allowed to pass.
"Little brother, I'm waiting for you here."
It was Feng Yu's turn. Feng Yu walked forward carrying the baggage in his left hand and holding the horse in his right hand.
"Name, where do you live?"
"Feng Yu, I live in, uh, Youzhou."
"What do you mean by Youzhou? Youzhou is not close to our Huzhou. What are you doing in Huzhou?"
"I left my hometown when I was very young and wandered around. I was taken in by a family in Youzhou, and that's how I am today. Later I found out that I had relatives in Qingguan City, and I planned to go west to join my relatives. I passed by Huzhou and wanted to stay and have a rest.
rest."
"There have been a lot of refugees in the past two days. The superiors have ordered that non-official businessmen and local people are basically not allowed to enter the city. You'd better leave. There should be an inn on the official road. Next!"
Feng Yu didn't expect it either, but he was not familiar with the place and no one knew how far away it was. It was almost dinner time, and it would be even more troublesome to travel when it got dark.
"Brothers, could you please make it easier for me? It's my first time here and I'm really not familiar with it. It's getting dark. Can you let me stay for one night? I'll leave tomorrow."
"No, no, you can leave quickly, don't waste our time."
When the old man saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Wait a minute, Master Jun, this little brother is an old benefactor. Can you let him come in with me and live in my house without causing any trouble?" He said, still stuffing his head.
He picked up a handful of silver coins, and it looked like there were about ten silver coins. When Feng Yu saw it, he frowned and felt very unhappy.
At the moment when the officers and soldiers wanted to collect the money, several loud sounds of horse hooves suddenly came from the distance, "Drive, drive~"
Everyone turned to look at the men who were riding horses getting closer and closer. They were dressed in navy blue clothes, with their hair tied up and a hairpin tied horizontally. The cuffs were lined with crimson and were tied tightly.
He doesn't look ordinary personally.
"Xu~" The man and woman in charge took out a token, which seemed to have a pattern carved on it. Feng Yu didn't look at it carefully and couldn't see it clearly. The officers and soldiers who reviewed it didn't dare to accept the money, so they hurriedly stepped forward to take a look.
He stood up straight when he saw the token and said, "I wonder what your lords are doing in coming to Huzhou?"
The man in front should be a leader, "The Mirror Division was ordered to investigate the bandits' robbery of disaster relief money, and they also hope to send someone to inform the county government and the governor Yin." (The governor in the article is the boss of a state and is in charge of everything.
Political, economic, cultural and other affairs, the county government is a place under the state government established to deal with criminal trials)
"Yes, everyone, please come with me."
There were four people in the group, riding horses and slowly following behind the officers and soldiers. Suddenly, one of them glanced at Feng Yu, and Feng Yu happened to look at him. Those eyes, well, how should I put it? In Feng Yu's opinion
, a person's cultivation and knowledge can affect a person's spirit and spirit. If you want to hide yourself, you need to make your own aura and the environment flow together. Feng Yu thinks that he can't do it for the time being, but with the efforts of several seniors,
Even though it's suppressed, it doesn't seem to stand out.
But these eyes seemed to see the difference in him. They were not sharp, nor did they contain murderous intent, but they always seemed to make him see clearly and unable to hide himself. Perhaps it was due to his profession, but his eyes were shining with heroic spirit, and there were traces of blood in the corners of his eyes.
A beauty mark, her face is small but no bigger than a palm, and her facial features are gathered together. Unlike ordinary men’s faces, which are firm and clear, it seems to have dimples. Feng Yu is very strange, at least until now, he has never seen a man look like this, but he is curious.
I don't care at all, after all, I heard that there are many men in the world who are called "people more beautiful than peach blossoms" because they are too handsome.
However, the adult did not intend to let him go, and asked: "Who is this person?"
The voice is clear and powerful, without any harshness, and it suits this face quite well.
"Sir, this is a foreigner who is queuing up to enter the city. I am trying to drive him away."
"A foreigner? Do you know anyone in Huzhou?"
The old man rushed to answer: "Sir, this little brother is also a friend of the old man, and he plans to live in the old man's house."
"What does your family do?" Even to the elderly, his tone did not slow down at all.
"My son has opened an Anxin Inn in the city. We are planning to go there. He doesn't look like a bad guy. I hope you won't drive him away."
After thinking for a while, he also stared at Feng Yu for a while, "Okay, he can go in. However, there are a lot of refugees today, and the county government has sorted them out for the refugees to live in. We have the emperor's orders, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to live in them."
It’s convenient. I wonder if it would be convenient for the four of us to stay at your inn?”
"This~," the old man hesitated, "That is the honor of my family. The adults can stay here with peace of mind. We will treat you well."
"We will pay for it and you won't suffer any loss. Thank you very much. Soldier, you can lead the way. Drive!"
Feng Yu didn't speak the whole time. He always felt that this adult was very special, but over the years he had long been accustomed to hiding his emotions tightly from others, and he didn't even change his facial expression.
"Little brother, let's go."
He nodded and said, "Thank you very much for today, old man."
On the street, "Junior Sister Su, is there anything suspicious about this person?"
It was still the same crisp voice, but it lacked a hint of indifference, "I haven't found anything yet. He should be a famous warrior. His strength may be around the sixth level. I'm a little curious."
The two people behind were surprised, "Sir, this person looks like he is only around 20 years old, with a sixth-grade cultivation level? Isn't that similar to Commander Ling? Could he be the robber we are looking for?"
Commander Ling in front turned around and said: "Huh, you haven't seen some of the sect's talented disciples. They are about the same age as him, but stronger. My cultivation level is nothing. However, from the perspective of ordinary criminals who commit crimes,
Judging from his behavior, it’s probably not him, maybe it’s really a direct disciple of that sect who came out to see the prosperous world.”
