Although half a month had passed, Lu Si'an still resented it, especially at the end of July and the beginning of August when he left Beijing to take up his post.
No wonder he was so resentful, because he thought that being punished and sent to the northwest was enough. Unexpectedly, Gao Lingbo made several suggestions and finally asked him to go to Nanzhou Road.
It's natural to say that Jiang Wenyuan started his career on Nanzhou Road, where he wiped out the southern barbarians. In order for Lu Si'an to have a good understanding of how a general achieved success through hard work, he was asked to start from the very beginning.
It sounded nice, but everyone understood that it was clear that Lu Si'an was going to die. In a place like Nanzhou, miasma was everywhere, ten or nine people died, and one was still suffering from illness and lingering for the rest of his life.
This is killing the chicken to show the monkey, so that others can see what the consequences will be if you go against Gao Lingbo!
The officials in the capital were reluctant to go abroad, and they would wait as long as they could in the capital. The same was true for Lu Si'an. What's more, the place he was going to was a place where he would die, and his family was already eager to hold a funeral for him in advance, but
However, the officials urged him to leave the capital and take up his post, almost forcing him immediately.
"Is this being sent to take office? This is being escorted!" Lu Si'an put down the wine bowl in his hand and said with both anger and sadness.
At this time, I was sitting in the private room upstairs in Desheng, and everyone who was accompanying me to see him off with wine felt like this.
People who drink alcohol easily get drunk, and many of the people here are tipsy.
"...What kind of unnoticed mistakes are there, what is the crime of slandering a general, what can't a general say..." A man put down his wine glass and said drunkenly, "You have merit, what happened to merit? Back then, Wang Wencheng had great merit, but he just killed him whenever he asked.
Sorry, I can’t even think of a perfunctory reason... When did a civil servant like Mr. Lu not be able to speak even to military commanders? It really turned the world upside down!"
"So what? This matter has nothing to do with those generals, it's because of Gao Lingbo!" Someone else said angrily.
This sentence made the atmosphere present become dull again.
Yes, it's all because of Gao Lingbo, and Gao Lingbo also did it. This is really discouraging.
"Today is to see Brother Sian off, don't mention that disgusting thing again!" someone cheered up and said.
"Yes, this is a good thing I gave you, Brother Lu." Someone said, taking out a small porcelain jar.
Everyone present was a little curious and asked what it was.
"This is the pill I got from Tong Neihan's house with great difficulty." The man said with some pride.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the house was surprised.
Since Tong Neihan came back from the dead three years ago, it has become a strange news, especially because his white hair turned black and his face was shiny, as if he had rejuvenated his youth. This was definitely not because he had been taking gold and stone, but because he got it from the miracle doctor.
medicine.
The miracle doctor has been quiet since then, but there is a pharmacy where this miracle doctor once worked. It is said that the Tong family and the Peng family have bought this medicine from the pharmacy.
It's just that this medicine is so rare that no one else has grabbed it, especially since the medicine has been sold out in the past two years. The medicine hidden in the Tong family and the Peng family has become a treasure that cannot be exchanged for a lot of money.
Unexpectedly, this person actually got a bottle. Although it was only a small bottle, it was enough to surprise everyone.
"Tong Neihan took Jinshi because he injured his body in Nanzhou when he was young. Now he doesn't need to take Jinshi. He is walking as fast as he takes the pills. His newborn daughter is several years younger than his granddaughter..." the man said, while speaking.
The porcelain bottle was handed over, "Brother Lu, if you take this with you, you will definitely be able to protect your body and nourish your energy when you arrive in Nanzhou."
This is really good.
Although the theory of ghosts and gods is not believable, there are indeed some magical secrets in this world.
Lu Si'an finally showed a smile, stretched out his hand to take it and thanked him.
"Speaking of driving away the miasma and cold air, I originally booked a Passing Immortal at Shenxianju, but I didn't expect that Shenxianju would be closed today." Another person thought of something and said with full regret, "Passing Immortal, I can eat it when I leave the capital.
It’s not here.”
"It's easy to do it yourself." Someone laughed.
"Then you are not a passing fairy, you are happy and at ease." The person from before shook his head and said.
"Why did Shenxianju close down? They didn't even close down during the Chinese New Year?" someone asked curiously.
"It seems like the guy said he wanted to take over his employer." The man said, "I don't have to go out of business to take over my employer. I don't understand what's going on."
When the conversation turned to the restaurant, someone coughed.
"Don't worry about other people's affairs. We are seeing Brother Lu off today," he said.
"Yes, yes, the matter has come to this. We have to look forward. I believe Mr. Chen will definitely find a way to protect you. Maybe the transfer order will be reissued before we get to Nanzhou." Some people also hurriedly changed the subject and laughed.
road.
Lu Si'an showed a forced smile and drank with everyone one by one.
Yes, what else can be done? We can only hope that Chen Shao will gain the upper hand and get him back as soon as possible, but as the saying goes, tea is cool when people leave. With so many people in the capital, no one will remember him by then...
Lu Si'an picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, then put a mouthful of food into his mouth, but it could not dispel the bitterness in his mouth.
During the banquet, the banquet was being drunk, and suddenly we heard a commotion on the street, accompanied by the noise of people. Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and then the person closest to the window got up and opened the window.
The noise suddenly came in louder.
"There are many people on the street," the man said.
"There are a lot of people on the street." People present laughed.
"No, no, it seems something happened. Someone separated the road, and there was something there..." the man continued.
The curiosity of people in the capital has never distinguished between the old and the young. Many people present could not help but come over and look outside. Sure enough, they saw that the street below was full of people, and there were more and more people.
One after another, people poked their heads out of the windows to watch the excitement, and footsteps could be heard in the corridor.
"There are wine jars and bowls set up," someone said, looking at the street.
"Why are there wine jars on the street? Is this a gimmick by a restaurant to attract business?" Some well-informed people speculated.
"Look, there's not just one there, there's one not far away on the whole street." Someone pointed down and said.
Everyone looked up, and sure enough they saw a bunch of people filling every section of the street.
Most of the people present stood up and went to the window to watch the fun, except Lu Si'an who still sat and drank slowly.
This is the capital city, which is gorgeous and prosperous, with endless new things happening. It's a pity that I won't be able to see this for a while, maybe not for a lifetime. In this bustling and bustling city, Lu Si'an's heart is as desolate as the cold winter.
After drinking, he stood up, looked at his companions who were still gathered by the window and pointed downwards, opened the door and walked out without saying hello.
The corridor was not quiet either, with many people running back and forth.
"What on earth is going on?"
"Have you asked clearly?"
All the companions from each family were sent out to enjoy the fun.
Lu Si'an walked amid the hustle and bustle here.
More and more people are asking questions on the street.
"It's wine, it's wine." The man who placed the wine jar helplessly replied after being questioned.
This answer immediately led to more inquiries.
"What kind of wine is it?"
"Is it for sale?"
"It's not for sale, it's for gift," the man replied.
It turned out to be a bargain! This kind of good thing immediately made the surrounding area more lively. The same question and answer was also happening in other places, which instantly made the whole street excited.
"Don't crowd, don't crowd! We won't deliver it now, we will deliver it when the boss comes."
The boss? What kind of boss is it?
Lu Si'an, who was about to walk through the crowd, couldn't help but stop and suddenly heard something said by his companion just now.
"Why is Shenxianju closed? They don't even close during the Chinese New Year?" "It seems like the waiter said he wanted to take over their employer."
Could it be that this man is talking about the owner of Shenxianju?
Sure enough, he was selling alcohol as a gimmick.
Lu Si'an shook his head and took a step forward. Before he had even taken two steps, he heard the noise behind him getting even louder.
"...Is the boss dead?"
Dead boss?
Lu Si'an stopped, looked back, and saw the man standing on the roadside, surrounded by a crowd, nodding.
"Yes, my boss is gone and I want to pick up their coffin for burial." He said, "We were hired to distribute the wine."
Buried!
Is this to send a spirit?
"It's to send the spirit. It goes from the west gate into the city to the east gate." The man continued.
That went through the entire capital city!
Lu Si'an couldn't help but tiptoe to look. There were ten men like this on this street alone. From the west gate to the east gate, you have to pass through at least a dozen such streets. How many people must be hired and how much wine must be served!
"What kind of wine is this? Is it cheap?"
How the boss died is not a question that everyone is concerned about, but some people ask the question that is of greatest concern.
But the free gift could be some good wine.
"This is brewed by myself. It's unique. We don't sell it outside. It's said to be the strongest wine in the world." The man replied.
These words made everyone excited again, and they all accused the man of saying something wrong.
"The strongest wine is obviously Yunshang from Deshenglou..."
"...What, it's the jujube wine from Qiushuitai..."
The man looked innocent in the face of the argument.
"Then I don't know. That's what people say. You will know if you try it later," he said.
These words made the scene even more lively, and more people came over.
Lu Si'an didn't care how much the wine was worth. Just looking at the people he hired, you could tell it was worth a lot.
These men who look ordinary but are obviously carefully selected and can speak well will not be paid less.
Nowadays, some families in Beijing are becoming more and more extravagant, holding not only weddings but also funerals.
But this is the capital, so prosperous and magnificent.
It has nothing to do with him anymore.
Lu Si'an turned his head and sighed softly.
I don’t know how miserable I will be when I die in the future.
"Who is this boss?" More and more questions came from behind.
Who? People with official status would definitely not dare to do this, only those who have nothing but money!
"He said he was a soldier in the northwest and died in battle."
"Five people died together. It was very heroic."
Those who serve as soldiers! Those who die in battle!
Which rich person would become a soldier? Which rich person would die?
How is that possible!
Northwest, five, died in battle, home in the capital...
Why does it sound familiar...
Lu Si'an suddenly stopped and turned around, looking shocked.
