Early the next morning, Liu Shu, a villager in Wucheng Village, found several villagers in front of his pig pen, preparing to catch a pig and send it to the city.
In fact, it has only been about three months since they started raising pigs.
Although they have been feeding bean dregs, the piglets have grown very quickly, but now they only weigh one hundred, fifty or sixty pounds.
In the past, there were pigs raised in the village, but they usually had to be fed for one or two years, and they were not put out for slaughter until they reached about 300 kilograms.
But now, at 156 pounds, it is the time when the most meat can be gained, and no one is willing to sell it out.
But King Liang had already sent a message that he wanted one today, so Liu Shan cruelly decided to catch one of his own and send it away.
However, these villagers have agreed that if His Highness continues to ask for it, they, the pig farmers, will take turns, and they cannot catch one family and suffer a loss.
Hearing that Liushan was going to catch pigs and send them to Chang'an City, in addition to the few people he found, other villagers also came over to help, and there were many people watching the fun.
With more people and greater strength, they soon drove the biggest pig out of the pigsty, captured it, tied it up, put it on a wheelbarrow, and sent it to Chang'an City.
At this time, there were already wheelbarrows among the people, but the wheels were made of wood and the smoothness could be imagined.
It's very bumpy when pushed, and you can imagine how sturdy it is.
There were six of them, one pushing the cart in the back, one pulling the cart in front, and one in the middle catching the pig.
Then the remaining three rotate.
Not long after, they entered Chang'an City and passed Pingkang Street to send the pigs to the First Floor in the World.
At this time, a team of spies sent by Li Shimin quietly hid in inconspicuous places on Pingkang Street, carefully observing every move on Pingkang Street.
They had all heard about Yuan Tiangang's divination yesterday, but they didn't believe it in their hearts, thinking that Yuan Tiangang was talking nonsense.
You can calculate clearly what will happen tomorrow? Do you think you are a god?
But now, they were surprised to find that there was really a group of people pushing a wheelbarrow passing by Pingkang Street.
Could this pig really be able to escape?
The spies all stared at the unicycle with their eyes wide open, not daring to blink.
The car passed slowly and was about to leave Pingkang Street, but nothing happened.
These spies couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, that Yuan Tiangang was indeed not so evil.
However, in their hearts, they actually felt a hint of disappointment. In short, it was a very contradictory mentality.
Beep!
At this moment, a firecracker suddenly exploded in front of the wheelbarrow.
Well, this firecracker is certainly not the firecrackers of later generations, and it is not made of gunpowder.
Firecrackers are ignited bamboo joints. When the bamboo joints burst, they will make a crisp sound.
The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu.
Thousands of households exchange old talismans for new peaches every day.
This is what the firecrackers mentioned in this poem mean.
The firecracker in front of me was carelessly thrown away by a naughty boy while he was playing.
The pig, which was tied tightly to the wheelbarrow and was shaken to pieces, was suddenly frightened by the firecrackers and burst into flames.
rub!
With a sudden exertion, he jumped out of the car and ran away.
When Liu Shu and the others saw this situation, they immediately became anxious and ran after them.
However, there were many pedestrians on Pingkang Street, and this pig was running so fast that these people couldn't catch up.
And because of a running pig, the pedestrians immediately screamed and dodge, causing chaos.
Bing pong!
The next moment, there was a loud noise, but it was the pig that knocked over a porcelain stall on the street, breaking a lot of porcelain.
Hearing this voice, Willow's eyes turned green, and he secretly complained in his heart.
It’s over, I don’t know how much money I will have to accompany you this time!
However, this is just the beginning.
Next, more than a dozen fruit stalls, vegetable stalls, and snack stalls were knocked over.
Liu Shu, who was chasing after him, almost cried.
This time, I am afraid that the money from selling the pigs will not be enough to compensate for these losses. Today, he is really unlucky for eight lifetimes!
After finally catching up with the pig and tying it up again, Liu Shu discovered that he was surrounded by the owners of other stalls.
"Is this pig yours? Your pig knocked over my stall. Don't say anything and just pay for it!"
"The same goes for my stall, I'll lose money!"
"Compensate!"
Willow said with a sad face: "Okay, I'll accompany you. Can you tell me the number? How much is it?"
The shopkeeper of the porcelain stall said with a smile: "Not much, not much, three guans in total!"
When Liu Shu heard the price, he was stunned and couldn't help but said: "Why are there so many? Aren't you blackmailing me?"
Hearing Liu Shu's words, the shopkeeper couldn't help but said fiercely: "Blackmailing? Is your mother looking for death? Try again? You have to accompany me today whether you want to accompany me or not! Even if you get to the Yamen, you still have to accompany me.
You have to pay for it! If you don’t have money, then keep the pig! Bah, your pig is not worth so much money!”
Next, the stall owners from several other stalls opened their mouths and demanded compensation, and all wanted to keep the pigs.
At this time, the willow tree was almost ready to hang itself.
But the most urgent task now is to send the pigs to His Highness Prince Liang first. This matter must not be delayed.
So, Liu Shu hurriedly said: "Everyone, as for your compensation, I will pay it to you slowly, but now I have something urgent, so I have to send the pig first. If it is late, it will cause trouble."
Um?
This kid still wants to run away? Wants to send the pig away first? How can such a good thing happen?
Of course these shopkeepers will not let Liu Shu go.
Liu Shu was really anxious and couldn't help but said: "We are all from Wucheng Village. This pig is wanted by His Highness Prince Liang. If it delays His Highness Prince Liang's affairs, can you bear the consequences? In this way, I
What do you think, if the people stay here and the others send the pigs?"
Hearing that this pig was actually given to His Highness Prince Liang, the shopkeepers couldn't tell the truth from the fake, but they didn't dare to really stop it.
What if it's true?
If they really delayed His Royal Highness Prince Liang's affairs, they really couldn't afford the punishment.
In the end, Willow was left behind, and the others tied the pig back onto the wheelbarrow and sent it to the first floor of the world.
And this scene completely shocked the secret whistle Li Shimin left behind.
Things turned out to be exactly as Yuan Tiangang expected!
The leader left a few people behind to continue observing, while he rushed to the palace as quickly as possible to report the matter to Li Shimin.
