The raging plum rain season has plunged the entire south into humidity, one after another, making it extremely annoying.
"Eunniang's!"
The sound of dripping rain made Tang Fu wake up from his sleep. When he touched his crotch, it was completely wet.
Looking up, I saw that the straw-covered roof had leaks and was dripping water from time to time, and the quilt had become a water bed.
He quickly stood up, pulled back the quilt, reluctantly took out a handful of copper coins from the broken jar in the corner, and knocked on the door next door:
"Brother Jia, are you here? Let me borrow some straw."
"Ah, ah, this medicinal wine is so good——"
Suddenly, the female voice disappeared, and the creaking sound of the bed stopped. A big man in shorts came out and opened the door:
"Brother Tang, your house is leaking? I asked you to fix it a long time ago, but you haven't done it yet."
Jia Yan glanced at the copper coins, then turned around and shouted: "Gouzi, bring me some bundles of straw."
As he said that, without waiting for Tang Fu's reaction, he ran away quickly: "We neighbors are like a family. We just take money and leave. Straw is worthless."
Then, Tang Fu's ears heard a creaking sound again, as well as a sharp and suppressed female voice.
Biting clothes.
"Uncle Tang, are these enough?"
At this time, the shirtless dog asked, holding a bundle of straw.
"enough!"
Looking into Gouzi's clear eyes, Tang Fu touched his little head and smiled: "Your parents never avoid you."
"Dad only has one day off every ten days and is in a hurry to have a child!"
Gouzi said sensibly and seriously: "When dad comes back, he will have meat to eat. Gouzi has to give his mother to him."
"Hahaha!"
Tang Fu smiled, took the straw away, and asked curiously before leaving: "I heard that your father is going to send you to elementary school, why haven't you gone yet?"
"The heavy rain a few days ago destroyed the school, so the teacher gave us a holiday."
Gouzi looked helpless and frowned: "I practice Chinese calligraphy every day, but it seems I can't do it today."
"Has your father been tormenting your mother for a long time?"
"My mother never got out of bed like my father, and she even refused to let me eat or drink!"
Gouzi shook his head, pretending to be helpless and said: "Color is emptiness, my parents still don't understand!"
"Hahaha, interesting!"
Tang Fu hugged the straw and left, climbed onto the roof in the rain and repaired the leak.
"boom--"
Suddenly, there was a sound in the sky and a firework burst out.
Tang Fu's expression changed, and he hurriedly put on his raincoat and left the courtyard.
"Why are there fireworks on a rainy day?"
Gouzi wondered, looking at Uncle Tang leaving, he seemed to vaguely see the waist knife.
Uncle Tang is so strange.
Da da da--
In the streets and alleys of Xiangyang City, when the light rain continued, more than two hundred big men carrying knives but no umbrellas walked forward in the rain.
After a while, a large hidden courtyard in the northeast corner of Xiangyang City was filled with people.
“Rainy days are so annoying!”
Everyone complained and smoothed their bamboo hats and raincoats from time to time to prevent a drop of water from sticking to their clothes.
Tang Fu stamped his feet, shook off the dirt on the surface of his leather boots, and washed it again with water from the eaves tiles.
Everyone does this and cherishes it endlessly.
Sun Changzhou wore a bamboo hat and held a knife in his right hand. He walked slowly and looked at these big men who cherished him. After a long time, he looked around with cold eyes:
"Everyone, the past of raising an army for a thousand days was spent in a moment, searching for science, and living in Xiangyang in obscurity. From today on, it will never return."
He seemed to see the eager eyes of this group of people.
Being low-key means having no power. Is it just for hanging around and waiting to die? It’s not just for promotion and wealth.
Only by doing things and doing things for King Yu can you be promoted and make a fortune.
"You are all talents. Carefully selected talents from the Imperial Guard. Interrogation, arresting people, and confiscating homes are all your specialties."
When everyone heard this, they didn't seem to think it was a compliment.
However, it is true that Jin Yiwei is in this business, eating and drinking, interrogating and peeling off cocoons.
"His Royal Highness King Yu's order——"
Sun Changzhou raised the paper in his hand and shouted loudly: "Don't let go of anyone listed among them."
"I will obey the king's order——"
With a splash, the bamboo hat fell off, and the clothes were fearlessly stained with the water. The rainwater flowed down the sharp waist knife, fell down and gathered into the water again.
Everyone's eyes were eager and they stared at the stack of papers unscrupulously, as if it were an imperial edict or a rule of heaven, which made people admire and fear them.
Tang Fu's plain face was also full of enthusiasm. He didn't care about his beloved leather boots. His eyes were fixed on the stack of papers:
That is wealth, that is official title...
"Zhang San, Li Si..."
"Ten of you go to Huangzhou Mansion!"
"Wang Er, Zhao Hu..." "You go to Wuchang Mansion——"
Names were called out one after another and tasks were given, and there were fewer and fewer people in the courtyard.
Tang Fu was stunned, why was there no me in the end?
His eyes turned to Sun Changzhou.
"Tang Fu, Zhang Ji..."
"Thirty of you, follow me."
Sun Changzhou said in a deep voice with a straight face.
Immediately, everyone suddenly realized that something big was about to happen!
So, this group of people got on the boat and left Xiangyang.
Tang Fu was stunned and asked in a low voice to Zhang Ji beside him: "Why did you leave Xiangyang?"
"How could something happen in Xiangyang?"
Zhang Ji looked like an idiot: "Everyone in Xiangyang Mansion has been personally appointed by His Highness."
"Furthermore, Xiangyang City is so important, and the shogunate doesn't look good, so we can't do anything about it..."
Tang Fu suddenly realized.
So the group of people sailed boats left and right and arrived at Jiujiang.
Jiujiang not only has the garrison of General Hui Dengxiang and Bai Wang, but also gathers a large number of merchants from Jiangnan and Jiangxi areas, making it a rare and prosperous place.
Tang Fu looked around and saw that the scenery here was as good as Xiangyang.
"Commander?" Tang Fu whispered in surprise.
The others were only arresting the county magistrate. Could they be arresting the commander-in-chief?
This really requires Section Chief Sun to go there personally.
However, the commander-in-chief of an army must be cautious.
Zhang Ji's face also became solemn: "Jin Yiwei hasn't been so generous in I don't know how many years, how many years..."
After Jiajing, Jinyiwei's reputation was not prominent until Wei Zhongxian's period, when he became a dog. After that, things went from bad to worse. Why worry about such a prosperous life?
Soon after waiting, Sun Changzhou came back. He said attentively: "General Hui has sent people to control the city gate. There will be no chaos in Jiujiang City."
With these words, everyone was confused again. Who else could it be if it wasn't the commander in chief? What was the purpose of such a large formation?
But then, everyone suddenly realized.
A well-dressed young man, his face was pale and his whole body was trembling.
"I, my king, why are you arresting me?"
"His Royal Highness King Xiang, you have lived in Jiujiang for a long time, and I am afraid that you will not be able to live well, so His Highness King Yu would like to invite you to live in Xiangyang."
Sun Changzhou said calmly.
It turned out that this person was none other than Zhu Changcheng, the eldest son of Prince Xiang who had escaped the disaster. He was recently named Prince of Xiang by the Hongguang court and lived in Jiujiang.
Immediately, another person was escorted, it was King Jing who had escaped the disaster.
There are two princes hiding in the small Jiujiang City. If it weren't for Zuo Liangyu and He Tengjiao's careful protection, they would have returned to Xiangyang to enjoy peace.
