Chapter 59: Trapped in Guzang City

The Chang'an Mandarin spoken by the woman is very nice.

Unlike ordinary people in Chang'an who would speak harshly, it's not like every quarrel is just a quarrel.

Yunchu felt that what this woman said made sense. Until now, he and Naha were wearing clothes randomly. Yunchu only had two pairs of underwear, and gave Naha one pair to wear as shorts, while he only had two pairs of underwear. A pair of underwear, which is very bad.

After passing Wushaoling, you have entered the birthplace of the Li family in Longxi. I heard from Ding Dayou that when you enter Longxi, it is best not to mess with ordinary farmers. They may not be the Li family who is the emperor today. An elder of the clan leader.

Since ancient times, the royal family has been the representative of unreasonableness. The whole world belongs to other families, and it is understandable to be unreasonable.

You and Naha are dressed in a shabby and unruly manner, so don't let others find fault and cause trouble.

Of course, this woman bullied their brother and sister because they were young and thought she could take advantage of her, which made Yunchu a little bit unhappy.

Therefore, he threw another bag of copper coins to another sinner and allowed her to follow the servant to the silk shop to purchase.

The sinful woman looked at the young man and his companions who were leaving, feeling very sorry...

There was a very good kitchen and stove in the yard, and Yunchu never let outsiders handle the things that went into his and Naha's mouths.

So it only took him a moment to prepare two large bowls of poached eggs, and he used up all six eggs in the kitchen at once.

Naan pancakes with poached eggs are the breakfast for Yunchu and Naha.

People in the Tang Dynasty used to eat on a low table that was about the same height as a coffee table, and they had to sit on their knees while eating, which was very painful.

Yunchu and Naha didn't have the habit of sitting on their knees. One sat on the wool mat with his legs spread out, while the other walked around eating with a bowl in hand.

Maybe the sinful woman who was serving them had too much desire for eggs in her eyes.

Naha pierced a poached egg with chopsticks and brought it to the sinful woman: "Here you go, eat!"

The sinful woman was shocked and knelt on the ground in horror, kowtowing.

Yun Chu frowned and said, "Go get an empty bowl. Eat what the lady gives you, just don't touch her bowl and chopsticks."

The sinful woman gingerly took out a broken bowl. Naha shook the poached eggs on the chopsticks into the sinful woman's bowl. She also thoughtfully poured some egg soup into the broken bowl and pulled off a piece of naan bread from the table. thrown into the sinful woman's broken bowl.

Facing these criminal women from a high position is an act of following the local customs. For Yunchu and Naha, two newcomers to the Tang Dynasty, it is a very correct and prudent behavior.

Yunchu didn't know if showing kindness to these poor people would bring any danger to him.

This world is not the other world he is familiar with. In that world, sins are not as bad as those of family members. This is one of the bottom lines of the law.

This was not the case in the Tang Dynasty. Yunchu saw a lot of legal cases in the documents. It was a basic operation for one person to make a mistake and kill his whole family. It was not uncommon for a person to make a mistake and kill dozens of relatives.

The three tribes of Yi, the Jiu tribe...

The sinful woman greedily ate the naan bread from the bowl, but instead of grabbing it with her hands, she ate it with two shiny black chopsticks.

After Yunchu finished eating, he turned his eyes to Naha and held her head and sniffed her carefully. Naha knew what her brother was going to do, so she screamed and ran away.

Yunchu caught up with Naha in one swift step, picked her up, and said to the guilty women who had just finished eating: "Prepare hot water for her to give her a good bath."

The remaining three sinners had already prepared hot water and watched as Yun Chu roughly tore off Naha's clothes and threw them into the bathtub.

A sinful woman stepped forward cautiously and said, "Mr. Sir, you shouldn't do this to your little lady."

Yun Chu looked at Naha who was struggling in his arms like a maggot, then looked at the guilty woman and said, "Do you have any idea?"

There was a look of reminiscence on the guilty woman's face, and she whispered: "You have to let the little lady like bathing by herself.

Besides, the young lady is already old, so the husband should avoid her. You can’t just tear off the young lady’s clothes, as this will not be good for the young lady’s reputation as a good friend.”

Yun Chu thought for a while and felt that what the guilty woman said made sense, so he put the naked Naha into the guilty woman's arms, looked into the guilty woman's eyes and said, "Yun Na is my sister, my biological sister.

"

After finishing speaking, he put down the bath beans, spices and other bathing supplies brought from the Western Regions, and left the bathing place.

I have to say that men are really not very good at taking care of children, especially little girls.

While Naha was taking a bath, Yun Chu came to the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion again to look for the legal officer Guo Mingyi.

This time Yun Chu explained to Fa Cao the reasons why he needed to leave Guzang City as soon as possible and go to Chang'an to enroll in four majors.

I hope that the case outside the city last night will allow him to escape early. After all, he is just a passerby, not a thief.

Guo Mingyi also believed that Yunchu, a young official with a bright future, could not be related to last night's vendetta, but it was impossible to leave Guzang City immediately.

In any case, he had to wait until the soldiers who went out to chase the barbarians and thieves from the city came back before he could leave.

When he went out, Yunchu was very depressed. He didn't give away a gold medal in his sleeve, which proved that he really couldn't leave immediately.

This is the real dilemma.

The old monkey ran away, but Ding Dayou was still in Ganzhou. He didn't want to cross Wushaoling alone with two thousand taels of gold.

There are also thieves within the borders of the Tang Dynasty!

Back at the hotel, Naha ran over with two big buns on her head, rolled up her sleeves to reveal her fair arms, and asked her brother to smell if she smelled good now. Yun Chu took a whiff, and sure enough she did.

.

This child not only smells good, but even his chapped face seems to have become much smoother.

Yun Chu looked at the criminal women who were just following Naha, threw out a bag of copper coins and said, "Well done."

The guilty women took the money bags and left with many thanks.

How to get back to Chang'an was now a big problem, and Yunchu began to regret not entrusting the gold to Cheng Chumo.

However, gold is not very important to him. In the Tang Dynasty, Yunchu had the courage to come back after losing all his gold.

On the contrary, Naha and his two little lives are the most important.

Now, it's really time to think carefully about how to protect these two little lives.

A solo trip?

Ding Dayou's unparalleled image of bravery still inspires him, which allows him to remain calm in the face of danger and believe that he can fight his way through thousands of armies.

This is the kind of blood that a Tang person, especially a soldier, must possess. Today, the Tang Dynasty relies on this to conquer from east to west and defend the great power of the Tang Dynasty.

If it was really a one-man affair, Yunchu would not lack such courage. The problem is that after bringing Naha with him, he would no longer be willing to make such a reckless attempt.

Naha leaned against the door and secretly glanced at the sinners who were sewing clothes for them under the eaves outside the door.

The gray-haired criminal woman quietly waved to Naha, and Naha nudged past her.

Yunchu glanced at it and didn't care. This child didn't have many friends when he was in the tribe. After he followed her, he had no playmates. Now, she wanted to talk to the sinful woman and see how they made clothes.

of.

Extremely bored, Yunchu's eyes fell on the books on the bookshelf, and he picked one up and found that it was a "Book of Sui"

Look at the cover. The editor on it is Wei Zheng. Under Wei Zheng’s name are Yan Shigu, Kong Yingda and Xu Jingzong.

Everyone who participated in the editing was a well-known person, so Yunchu slowly flipped through the "Book of Sui".

Generally speaking, "Sui Shu" promotes the fine historical tradition of straight writing, and its comments on characters are less implicit.

The editor-in-chief Wei Zheng is upright and upright. The biographies he compiled are less concise and not taboo for the venerable.

For example, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was "mean" and arbitrary, "displeased with poems and books", "dark on the road", Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was pretentious and pretentious, "hoeed to death the flesh and blood, and slaughtered the loyal and good" and other situations are all written truthfully without any hidden taboos.

However, Yunchu was not interested in these political aspects, because many of the laws, systems, and human relationships in the Sui Dynasty were completely different from those in the Tang Dynasty, and there were basically not many similarities.

Compared to politics, he was more interested in the strange people and strange things compiled in the book as well as the economic, scientific, technological and cultural information.

Unknowingly, Yun Chu saw the name of a man named Mai Tiezhang. This guy was a postman and ran very fast. He once had the record of "walking five hundred miles a day, walking as fast as a galloping horse". It was not just that.

, this guy also has a great record of sending edicts from the capital to Xuzhou at night, and "returning them at night".

From Chang'an to Xuzhou? It's still damn late at night?

Yunchu was not very familiar with Chang'an and Xuzhou, so after doing some calculations in his mind, he didn't have much trust in this "Book of Sui".

Because the last time he went from Xi'an to Xuzhou, he drove there. The car drove very fast, and most of the roads he traveled were on high speeds. It took him nearly eight hours and covered 900 kilometers.

It’s late at night? What the hell are you talking about?

Just when Yun Chu was about to put back the book that recorded Wei Zheng's stain, the word "Yi Zu" suddenly popped into his mind.

Yes, Yizu were the postmen of the Tang Dynasty. They ran on the road all year round, delivering letters and light objects for the court or wealthy families.

These people are not only familiar with the road conditions, but also familiar with the various forces on the road. In addition, these people are not bad at martial arts... I just heard from Ma Gui that there are many such people in Dongcheng Station.

So Yun Chu appeared in Ma Gui's office again.

It has to be said that Ma Gui's net worth is far from what Yunchu saw. Just from the various samples of goods placed on the shelf in his office, Yunchu understood that this guy's business was very big.

"Oh, does Mr. Lang want to hire Yi Zu to run errands for Mr. Lang?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "You are helping me deliver a batch of goods to Chang'an."

Ma Gui laughed and said: "It's easy, just go and call the leader of Yizu."

Yun Chu held Ma Gui's hand and said, "Brother Ma, this batch of goods includes my little brother and my little sister."

Ma Gui frowned and said, "This is difficult."

Yun Chu said: "What's so difficult about this? There should be no difference between giving it away and delivering it, right?"

Ma Guipi smiled and said: "There is a big difference."

Yun Chu raised his eyebrows frivolously and said, "Is it the difference in wealth?"

Ma Gui said in embarrassment: "If Lang Jun wants to return to Chang'an, he can just recruit some warriors in Guzang. There is no need for these post horses and the cost is low."

Yun Chu sighed and said, "I haven't thought about recruiting some warriors. After going to the market, I found that those people can't even afford a pair of shoes. Do you think such people are reliable?"
