After daybreak, Pei Xiao went out to explore the wind first. After confirming that there was no pursuit, several people cleaned up and prepared to go on the road.
Although Pei Ming is weak, it will only be more troublesome if he drags on to get worse. So he goes out of the cave and squints in the glare of the sun.
Xue tingji and Pei Ming ride on the same horse. Pei Xiao takes the nameless horse, and Jin Zhan leads the empty horse to the West cautiously.
In the west is the territory of Yingzhou, but I didn't find any connection with the Liu family, but it's the same everywhere the officials protect each other, so they can't rush in through the gate.
Thanks to Xue tingji, the Emperor didn't do it in vain. He still remembers that Yingzhou had a case of smuggling official salt some time ago. In order to capture all the forces behind the scenes, he deliberately didn't stop the salt peddler's way. Now he came in handy.
It's a waterway. It's not far from here. It's only half a day. It seems to be a bustling wharf, but in fact, it is a business that strangers are not allowed to enter.
Therefore, the four people who appeared rashly made the workers on the wharf very strange. They gathered around one after another and looked back and forth at them very badly.
Especially the eyes on Pei Ming and Jin Zhan are enough to make them die eight hundred times.
Pei Xiaoxu, who has always been a little stiff, has a sense of humor after he gets married. He even knows that he will keep his wife behind him, which makes marigold happy. Xue tingji held Pei Ming in his arms and did not allow others to peep at him.
Their precautions made the workers laugh, but they didn't want to get into trouble? This is not your place. Get out of here. "
Xue tingji, not angry but smiling, raised his mouth and said, "help me, I can make your snowflake cotton float further."
Snowflake cotton is the slang on this road, which refers to private salt. The workers immediately froze their faces and looked at each other as if they were asking who knew these guys.
Obviously, none of them knew each other. Xue tingji was impatient, so they didn't have to be nervous. "It's really a little busy. It won't hurt your muscles and bones at all. Even I can I'll give you some good. "
It's no joke to let outsiders break into the industry. The workers dare not make their own opinions. They jump on the boat and report to the leader. Soon, a thin old man comes out. In this cold season, he is naked, showing his wrinkled black skin and his tendons.
"You said the benefits as a toll, now take it out."
At present, Xue tingji can't take it out. In fact, he doesn't intend to take it, but he still has to have the momentum to talk about business. "Do you sell snowflake cotton by collecting money first and then digging for goods?"
The old man's eyes changed. He stared at Xue tingji for a long time, but he couldn't see what he wanted.
"OK, tell me how I can help you."
It seems to be a move, Xue Ting by bowing, "just want to ask you to help us into Yingzhou, don't disturb anyone."
The old man didn't agree immediately. When he came over, his muscles moved slightly. Pei Mingzheng wants to turn back, but Xue tingji covers his eyes.
Apart from him, no man is allowed in Amin's eyes.
The old man didn't mind his movements. Instead, he thought it was interesting. He stood in front of the horse and looked up at Xue tingji, but he had the spirit of living in Gaolin.
"You, no, who are you?"
Wen Yanwei raises the corner of his eyes. Xue tingji slowly bends over and looks directly into the old man's eyes.
"What should I say? Is it to tell you that I am a businessman, or do you want to ask the prefect of Yingzhou? "
The governor of Yingzhou can be said to be the enemy of these salt dealers. However, he openly picked out this relationship. Whether it was true or not, at least the old man could see that the young man was brave.
In fact, Xue tingji's heart was not secure. He straightened up and added: "to tell you the truth, this little busy really doesn't need any effort. Anyway, you can't lose anything, can you? As for your concerns With all due respect, can you stop someone who wants to punish you? "
After a short silence, the old man finally snorted and let them board the boat to escort this trip.
Their destination is Sanchuan City, close to Kezhou. If the wind blows well, they will arrive one day and one night. When he had nothing to do, the old man chatted with Xue tingji.
"I'm called boss Lei on the road. I don't know if you've heard of it."
Xue tingji actually saw this title in the memorial, "I've heard a lot about you. You have a good reputation on the road. You are famous for your loyalty. Last year, because of acting for him, you threw all the people who offended him into the river. To tell you the truth, it's a bit noisy. After all, it's hard for the government to do it."
Boss Lei is quite surprised. Does he even know this? Immediately, he stopped asking, turned to Pei Ming and said to Xue tingji, "is your woman ill? There's no miracle doctor in Sanchuan. "
Without waiting for Xue tingji to say anything, Pei Ming first held him down, and then said nothing.
After a simple lunch, everyone was just about to have a rest when Jin Zhan suddenly rushed out of the cabin and vomited. His face was no less than yesterday's Pei Ming, but Pei Xiao was very anxious.
Everyone was nervous, but boss Lei was not surprised, "first time on a boat? I'm dizzy. Wait. I'll get you some medicineAfter a while, he apologized and said the bad news. The seasickness medicine was used up. I'll put up with it for a while.
Pei Ming is distressed by Jinzhan. He looks out to see people on the shore not far away, so he proposes to stop the ship and buy some medicine first.
But boss Lei grinned, "who are you? You don't know anything, just go to a place you don't know? I tell you, this place can't stop. "
By the way, I also told her that there was a well-known nickname for the border on the bank, which was called GUI Bu Lai.
Ghosts dare not come. What kind of land can it be?
Pei Ming thinks it's strange, but he doesn't know why. Anyway, few outsiders who set foot there can come back alive. Even if they are lucky enough to stay alive, they are either crazy or stupid. In short, they are very evil.
Nowadays, he is very sensitive to words like crazy and silly. Pei Ming can't help guessing whether there is a relationship between this place and Liu's family. He remembers this place in his heart and has to work hard to overcome it.
In the afternoon, boss Lei asks Xue tingji about their purpose of coming to Yingzhou. However, Xue tingji asks another question, "do you know something about it What about evil? Disappearances, poisoning, anything. "
The thunder eldest brother squints an eye, very astute guessed a little bit, "are you sent by the government?"
See his vigilance, Xue tingji let him rest assured, not to check them.
Although he is dubious, boss Lei really has courage. If he says something evil, he really thinks of it.
"There used to be a big clan here who ran rampant for many years. About two years ago, it was estimated that the political struggle was defeated and was thoroughly purged."
What he said should be the fact that the Bai family was cleared up, which made Pei Ming and Xue tingji feel nervous. Is there something strange in it?
Yes, the strange thing is that many people died before they were arrested, and they died in a strange way overnight.
"In the end, the government said that they were afraid of committing suicide, but I don't think so. But in the end, the whole family collapsed. Who cares about this nonsense? They don't even know where the dead people are buried."
