Luoshui Pass is fifty miles away from Luoshui Town. This is the southwest gateway of Dahan. Luoshui Pass is located in a remote place, with Luoshui on one side and mountains on the other. Luoshui is not urgent, and the mountains are not high. The small pass stands in the middle of the road and looks thin.
.
Among the mountains is Yelang, and the case of falling into the water is Nanyue. The Bo people live in the cracks between Yelang, Nanyue and the Han Dynasty. Although this place is a three-nothing zone, in fact anyone can take care of it. The Yelang people are free
Come here for a walk, the South Vietnamese will come here if they have nothing to eat, and the Han people will come here even more when they need labor. Anyway, these Bo people don't count on either side, and there is no psychological burden to bully them.
Tang Meng, the captain of Shu County, is in charge of all the troops and horses in the 12 counties of Shu County. He is a powerful figure in Shu County. Tang Meng, who is only 38 years old this year, served as the Poyang Order in his early years. As a civil servant, he does not wear armor.
Like a military commander.
"Hey!" Tang Meng sighed, looking at the continuous mountains in front of him, clasping his hands behind his back. The armor was so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
Sima asked quickly: "Why is the captain sighing? We have lived and died for the great man. After returning this time, the prefect and the chief historian will definitely ask for credit for the captain. At that time, we should congratulate the captain."
"Applying for credit?" Tang Meng smiled helplessly: "This time we went too far. It would be good if we didn't ask for guilt. I have never expected to ask for credit."
"The Bo people are fierce and cunning. If we catch them, we can give them a bite of food. Besides, these Bo people are not our common people. If the prefect blames this incident, my subordinates will feel aggrieved."
"You don't understand!" After Tang Meng said these three words, he had no intention of talking anymore.
The night wind blew a strand of Tang Meng's hair from left to right, dangling in front of his eyes. He reached out and fiddled with it several times, but it still remained the same.
"News has been sent from Chengdu. Someone will be here in the next few days to take these Bo people back to Shu County. Tell the soldiers to restrain themselves and not to force the Bo people too much. If something goes wrong, it will be bad for everyone."
"Huh! I don't know what the prefect is thinking!" Sima was quite reluctant: "Aren't they just a group of barbaric Bo people? After several times of wooing, if that Su Shibu has the ability, let him go and see those Bo people
Don’t cut him into pieces!”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Tang Meng turned around and glared at Sima: "I have heard about this Su Shifu. Some time ago, the merchants who passed by us were all talking about this person's ability. In my opinion, maybe this time
He might succeed."
"Ah!" Sima was shocked: "If he takes those Bo people away, what will happen to the mine? Chang Shi is still watching!"
"Hmph!" Tang Meng snorted coldly: "Meng Ji, this rip-off, thinks that the captain doesn't know and created this mine just to line his own pockets. I am an official of the Han Dynasty, not his Meng family!"
"Yes, yes, that's what the captain said!" Sima felt regretful and quickly changed his words.
Sima thought for a while and then said: "Captain, it seems to you that Su Shi has arrived, what should we do?"
Tang Meng said calmly: "Just do whatever you have to do!"
"No, little one, let's make arrangements right now!"
Lu Yi and Su Ren chatted for a long time. Lu Yi talked a lot, almost starting from when he was a child. He told Su Ren everything about himself, without hiding anything or omitting anything. Su Ren leaned against the tree, quietly
I listened without saying a word, without interrupting, and there was no problem.
Seeing that it was almost dawn, Lu Yi smiled slightly: "I have said so much, do you think I am a bit stupid? I don't know why I am telling you this. You are not very polite in what you do and say, but I
I just think you can keep these secrets for me, can you?"
When he turned around, he found that Su Ren was leaning against a tree, wrapped in clothes, with his eyes closed, and had already fallen asleep. Lu Yi became angry instantly, stood up, and put his foot on Su Ren's chest.
"Oh! You're crazy!" The kick was so hard that it almost broke the ribs.
Lu Yi blushed: "I told you so much, and you actually fell asleep. Are you just perfunctory with me like this?"
Holding his chest, Su Ren grinned: "I didn't intend to listen, it's what you want to say. I can't get in the chatter. Why do you think I don't sleep? It's so far away from the fire at night.
, my illness is just right, if I freeze again, can you afford to pay for it? "
"You! I never want to see you again!" He turned around and ran away crying.
It was very cold in the morning and the humidity was heavy. There was a lot of dew on the leaves and weeds. Su Ren shivered all over and quickly put on his clothes. He ignored Lu Yi and walked back, clutching his chest. Hawking and others had already
He got up and saw the scene clearly. When Su Ren came over, the guys tried their best not to laugh.
Su Ren glanced at a few people: "You can laugh if you want! It's so damn unlucky that I got beaten up by a crazy bitch so early in the morning!"
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed wildly. Su Ren lowered his head and sat by the fire to warm himself.
Sima Xiangru shook his head and sighed: "As I said before, Miss Luyi likes you!"
"Stop it!" Su Ren waved his hand quickly: "I don't want that stinky woman. I don't want it for free! I'll do it at every turn. If I marry her, I will definitely die early. I still want to live for two more years!"
Su Ren's voice was so loud that Lu Yi, who was not far away, could hear it clearly. She didn't speak, she just lowered her head and shed tears.
After breakfast, they packed up and walked southeast along Luoshui. They were going to Luoshui Pass, which was their last stop. After passing Luoshui Pass, they would enter the territory of the Bo people. Su Ren knew that the captain of Shu County
Tang Meng was also at Luoshui Pass, so he rejected Lu Yi's suggestion and insisted on coming to Luoshui Pass to meet Tang Meng.
Tang Men was not tall and had a scholarly temperament. He stood out among a large group of tall and powerful soldiers. Tang Meng came out to greet him, which surprised Su Ren. No matter from any aspect, he, Su Ren, did not let Tang Meng come out to greet him.
Qualifications. Tang Meng was the captain of Shu County, and Su Ren was just a merchant. Tang Meng was thirty-eight years old this year, and Su Ren was only sixteen or seventeen years old (in fact, he didn't even know how old he was now).
Tang Meng was not wearing armor, and in his long gown he looked more like a teacher. When the two met for the first time, Tang Meng recognized at a glance that the boy walking next to Sima Xiangru was the leader of the group.
"Su Shifu has worked hard for the country, hard work, hard work!" Standard civil official etiquette, standard civil official politeness. Su Ren immediately became wary of this Tang Meng in his heart. Officials are not afraid of straight-talking warriors, but are afraid of such duplicity.
Literary men. Warriors kill people in the open, while civil servants kill people. Even if they die, you don't know who did it.
"Thank you, Captain Tang!" Su Ren hurriedly jumped off the white horse, knelt down and was about to salute.
Tang Meng hurriedly helped him up: "You are so polite, Su Shipu. If I remember correctly, Shipu still has the title of fifth doctor. This captain cannot bear such a big gift."
"Captain Tang, you are so polite. What I do is a courtesy for the juniors and has nothing to do with the title. I think Captain Tang guards the border for the country and personally guards Luoshui Pass. That is a role model for us, and it is worth learning from."
People who are used to Su Ren are not surprised by this scene. Only Sima Xiangru and Lu Yi showed an expression of disbelief. In their eyes, Su Ren didn't think at all when he spoke, just opened his mouth. But with Tang
With these few answers, Meng is like a veteran who has been in the officialdom for many years, and his words are watertight.
A group of people entered Luoshui Pass. Su Ren and Tang Meng agreed to complete all the procedures for exiting the pass, and then they sat down and talked hand in hand. This is the rule of civil servants. Although they knew in their stomachs that the other party was making up their minds, they still smiled on their faces.
Haha. You will never be careless in what you need to do, and you won’t miss a word in what you need to say.
Tang Meng nodded: "Su Shifu was entrusted with important tasks by the prefect just after he took office. This shows that the mayor is talented and I admire him very much!"
"Captain, you're welcome. I'm just a newborn calf and I'm not afraid of tigers. I've been guarding the border for many years, so I still have to ask the captain for advice."
"How dare you, how dare you, I have heard about Zi Heng's work in Wenshui. In just half a year, Wenshui became one of the few wealthy places in the Han Dynasty. I think I also served as a county magistrate in Poyang. I feel embarrassed talking about it.
"
"There, Captain, you're welcome!"
The two of them used this method of bragging to each other for half an hour, which made people's ears tingle, but they didn't even say the same thing. Everyone had to admire Su Ren's skill.
Seeing that it was noon, Tang Meng prepared wine and food for him. Su Ren did not show any pretense and led everyone to the banquet. At the wine table, there was another burst of bragging. The meal lasted from noon to the time when the sun turned west. From Tang Meng and Su
In Ren's conversation, one could hear the feeling of being friends for years to come. Tang Meng did not call Su Shipu, but directly called Zi Heng. Su Ren no longer called Tang Duwei, but replaced him with Mr.
After drinking until sunset, Huo Jin and Huang Shisan helped Su Ren back to the residence arranged by Tang Meng. Su Ren fell asleep at the end without saying a single unnecessary word.
Sima Xiangru sighed: "No wonder I have wasted forty years and have never been satisfied. Only today do I know what it means to be an official!"
Sleeping until midnight, Su Ren knocked on Sima Xiangru's door. When Sima Xiangru opened the door, he was a little surprised: "What are you doing at this late hour?"
"Haha, if you don't want to do anything, how about going out with me?"
"Where to go?"
"You will know when you go there, remember to bring a map of Shu County!"
"Okay!" Sima Xiangru agreed and turned back to the house to get something. Su Ren was waiting in the yard, but instead of Sima Xiangru, he waited for Lu Yi. This woman was dressed in black and had a dagger at her waist.
He came out of his room quietly and was closing the door.
Su Ren put a hand on Lu Yi's shoulder, startling Lu Yi. As soon as Lu Yi turned around, he pulled out his dagger.
"Wait, it's me, it's me!" Su Ren quickly took two steps back and looked Lu Yi up and down for a long time: "What are you doing?"
When Lu Yi saw it was Su Ren, he rolled his eyes: "You can't control it! If you don't sleep at night, what are you going to do?"
"You have nothing to do with it!" Su Ren raised his head and said immediately: "I understand! Are you trying to assassinate Tang Meng? You stupid woman, if you kill Tang Meng, you Bo people will be dead.
!”
Sima Xiangru came out of the room and was stunned when he saw this scene. He pulled Su Ren and Lu Yi into the room, and looked out the door: "Is this possible?" (Unfinished)
