Chapter 189

It was already night when the news that the dead man and Mr. Gongyang were all destroyed came back to the Zhao mansion.

"Liang'er, you made a mistake." Zhao family as a family, Zhao old general slightly narrowed his eyes and sat leisurely on the couch, saying faintly.

Zhao Mingliang's face turned pale. Fifty dead men and two masters were killed by a group of businessmen who had few guards?!

Zhao Yinfeng was sitting on the side with his back straight, and he didn't make a sound. He didn't know why the woman called the man's husband in the morning appeared in his mind.

"The best thing to earn from the discussion with Liao is spices, but since last August, no one has been able to get spices except Ling family. Liang Er, you have cut off Bazhou's wealth." General Zhao shook his chair and said.

"The Ling family may not have spices. I heard that all the spices arrived this year have been dedicated to the emperor." Zhao Mingliang whispered.

"Last year, in Bazhou market, the Ling family provided a total of 300000 liang of spices and 100000 liang of tea. To say that her family only had 200000 liang of spices, hum." Zhao Yinfeng snorted. The amount he said is not the actual amount. The amount of spices in Ling family is far from that, because he knows that at least half of the spices are from Dai County.

"Grandpa, the Wang family is willing to increase military spending by 10% to the Zhao family this year, that is 2 million Liang." Zhao Mingliang stepped forward.

"That's it, liang'er. Don't bother the Ling family any more. After all the money of the Wang family is given, feng'er, you go to discuss with the steward of the Ling family. It's still cooperation this year." General Zhao jundao.

"Yes." Zhao Yinfeng answered, but he sneered in his heart. He has gone to the murderer, and he still wants to cooperate with you? Isn't that a fool?

"Feng'er, there is nothing on our dead men that can prove to be the Zhao family. Let's say it was the hands of the Wang family." General Zhao glanced at him and said.

Zhao Mingliang also glanced at Zhao Yinfeng. When he went out today, he specially told his subordinates to pass that sentence on. I'm afraid the Ling family must think it was Zhao Yinfeng who did it. It's OK to see how he can re cooperate with the Ling family.

"Liang'er, don't act rashly, make more chaos, wait for more chaos." Old general Zhao closed his eyes, slowly shook his rocking chair and said.

"Yes." Both of them answered and left the study.

"Brother, the younger brother is waiting for your silver." Zhao Yinfeng arched his hand to Zhao Mingliang and said. Without waiting for Zhao Mingliang's answer, he turned and left.

Zhao Mingliang watched his back go away, laughing at himself for two times. Ling Qingyu, good boy, I fell into your hands twice, and there won't be a third time!

At the celebration of the 15th day of the first month, Emperor Xiwen announced that this year was the 60th birthday of the empress dowager, and an additional Enke was opened. This naturally made scholars happy and talked about it one after another. The matter that emperor Xiwen personally appointed Fan Ye as the envoy of Fujian road was diluted.

After arriving in Luoyang, the Ling family's motorcade was divided into two parts. One part got on the boat from Luoyang and went back to Hangzhou. The other three carriages took the path and went around Shaanxi road. Crossing Hangu pass was the Lingbao of Guo State.

Hangu pass is the place where Lao Tzu wrote Tao Te Ching, and it is also the main road to Guanzhong. The terrain on both sides is dangerous but the scenery is beautiful.

Yan San was injured, and Ling Qingyu was very honest, just looking out through the window.

Lingbao, if you remember correctly, this is the origin of gold. In later generations, 200000 liang of gold was produced a year, and good medicinal materials and an inkstone were also produced.

"Han Liang, let's have a rest in Lingbao." Ling Qingyu poked out his head.

"OK." Han Liang, who rode in front, nodded. I'm in a hurry all the way. Tongguan is in front of me. I'm afraid others won't find their trace after entering Tongguan. It's good to have a rest at this time.

Soon after passing Hangu pass, the sky began to slowly darken, and there was still some distance to Lingbao county. Han Liang saw a path in front of him, so he drove his horse to have a look first. Some houses dotted in the depression were small villages, so he came back to lingqingyu and said that if he arrived at Lingbao, he was afraid that it would be too dark to enter the city, so he might as well spend the night in this small village.

Lingqingyu naturally said good.

Three carriages and two tall horses entered the small village, but there was no expected scene of the village coming out to watch the excitement, but it was quiet. If there were not a little light in those houses, it would almost be an empty village.

Han Liang dismounted, knocked on the door of the village yard, and said loudly, "is there anyone? It's already late when we pass here. Can you make it convenient for the female family members to have a night?"

After calling for several times, no one answered. Han Liang turned and wanted to leave, and the gate behind him opened a gap.

"What can I do for you?" Exposed in the crack of the door is Zhang Xiaotong's dark face, looking at Han Liang nervously.

"Brother, we are not bad guys. We came to Chang'an from a distance and missed the time, so we want to come to your house for a night." Han Liang squatted down and smiled kindly.

"My father hasn't come back yet. My mother is ill and can't get up." The little boy hesitated and said.

"But a doctor?" Han Liang frowned slightly and asked.

The little boy shook his head and said, "I don't have money for a doctor. My mother said I'd just lie down, but she has been lying down for many days."

"Stone, go and have a look." Ling Qingyu got out of the car and shouted to the stone on the carriage behind.

auzw. "Brother, our doctor Shi's medical skills are not bad. Why don't we let him have a look?" Han Liang laughed.

"But I have no money." The little boy hesitated.

"No money, just borrow a yard and let's take shelter." Han Liang's smile was very amiable, which made the little boy dazzled for a moment and opened the door.

"Er Niu, who is it, Keke Keke" a weak female voice came out of the room, followed by a burst of fierce cough.

The little boy hurried in and said, "Mom, it's a doctor. He said he didn't want money to see a doctor for you."

"How can there be such a good doctor? You're talking nonsense."

Han Liang and Shi Fang then followed the room, which was built by mud embryos. There was no light in the room, only the twilight came in from the door. In the empty room, only a bed was made of wood on one side, and a woman with a sallow face was lying on the thin quilt.

Seeing the two men come in, the woman looked frightened and dragged the little boy hard behind her, saying, "my head will be back soon. Don't take him away."

Han Liang was stunned and said, "don't panic, madam. We're not bad people. We just passed by the wrong sun here and wanted to take shelter from the wind. I heard your son said that your wife was ill, and my friend knew some medical skills, so I came in to have a look."

The woman's eyes turned on the two men, and she saw that Han Liang Pianpian's son Shi Fang was also an expert. She let down her heart a little and said, "I'm afraid my yard is simple. If you don't mind, just help yourself."

"Doctor, please show my mother first." The little boy looked at the stone with his eyes open and said.

Shi Fang stepped forward and caught his wife's pulse. After a moment, he said, "it was just cold, but you must not have eaten anything recently. Half of it is cold, half of it is hungry, and making a delicious meal is half of it."

The woman blushed and said, "there is no surplus food at home."

"We have. Don't worry, just take it as our accommodation fee." Ling Qingyu poked his head in from the door and said with a smile.

Asked where the kitchen was, Su Mu and Xie Sanlang hurriedly drove by themselves. They had their own food in the car, and even Ling Qingyu, who bought more bacon in the new year, asked to bring it.

Stonework picked some more herbs and asked the boy for a jar to boil the medicine.

After a while, the smell of meat and rice rose in the small yard.

After the woman had not eaten enough for a long time, Shi Fang asked her to boil porridge and give her the fried medicine.

The woman had just eaten a few mouthfuls of porridge, when she saw that the courtyard door was pushed open vigorously, and a big man rushed in with a shovel. He also shouted, "I'm fighting with you!"

He rushed to lingqingyu. Ling Qingyu held the bowl for a moment. Yan San had knocked him down with one foot, and then the tip of the long sword was already above his throat.

"Don't kill him, don't kill him, he's my husband!" The woman exclaimed, lost her bowl and rushed over.

"Everyone has something to say. We are not bad people, so we just pass by." Ling Qingyu waved.

Yan San took his sword away and stood beside the big man staring at him.

"My father is not a tax collector. They just passed by and treated me." The woman held the man and said.

At this time, the man also saw clearly that the people in the yard did not come to urge the tax, so he also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "sorry," he also saw the dishes on the stone table in the yard and the rice bowl held by his son (you're so fierce that you didn't lose your bowl like your mother) and said guilt: "it's Liu, no, sorry."

"It's all right, it's just right. Let's have dinner together." Ling Qingyu laughed.

When the big man sat down, Han Liang asked, "why do you have to pay taxes before the first month?"

"Hey," the big man Liu Jueming sighed and said, "it's last year's tax class. Now the iron can't be dug out of the pit, but the government doesn't recognize it. We still have to pay the tax class according to the amount set in the past. The family's savings have been filled in, and we don't even have the money to eat. The government is still urging, but there's still money there, and there's no food at home!"

Ling Qingyu and Han Liang looked at each other the same, so the man saw the carriage at the door and thought it was another tax collector, so he simply died together? The tax class has been so strict!

"What are you going to do in the future?" Lingqingyu asked unconsciously when he saw that both the couple gave the children the food in the bowl.

"The family at the end of the village was hanged yesterday, and finally died together. It's really not good." looking at his wife and son, Liu Jueming wiped his tears and said, "my son is smart. If the girl is willing to take in, as long as she gives a bite of food, she is willing to sell you for ten years."

Liu Erniu understood, put the bowl on the table, rushed into his father's arms and cried, "I don't want to separate from my parents. Xiaohu and his parents also died together. I died together with my parents."

This... Is too sensational

"Don't die so seriously?" Lingqingyu said, "if you like, you can work there, but it's a little far away."

"We are not afraid of being far away, as long as we give a way to live." Liu Jueming's eyes suddenly lit up and said.
