While also Tyuming was talking, Zhou Tai was also teasing those children on the side. Jiang Qin observed for a while, and felt that these boys and girls running around all over the hills and valleys really didn't look like killers in ambush, so he pulled over a boy who was still dragging his nose and said, "Little doll, what are you doing here?" ”

This boy is Wu Kuang's son, Wu Yi's brother Wu Ban, he looked at Jiang Qin fixedly without saying a word, and suddenly inhaled, and the two green dragons were quickly sucked into his nose.

Jiang Qin said viciously: "Don't you see the big brother over there, the underworld, the axe gang, if you don't tell the truth, you will cut off your hands and feet and throw them into the ravine." Zhou Tai immediately raised his eyebrows and made a fierce look, this trick that the two of them often use to deceive children in the Lujiang area is almost invincible, and this time will not be an exception.

But to Jiang Qin's surprise, Wu Ban was not afraid of his threat at all, and said loudly: "What's so great about the underworld? My father is an official, let him arrest you all and beat you half to death, see how you can scare the children? ”

Jiang Qin was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Wu Yi and Wu Yuan saw that their brother was being pulled by someone, and they also came over to see what was going on. After listening to what Wu Ban said, Wu Amaran's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "It turns out that you want to ask us about something?" But you have to answer me a question first, do you know how many disciples there are in Confucius? ”

Jiang Qin replied casually: "What's so difficult about this, there are three thousand disciples of Confucius, and there are only seventy-two people." ”

Wu Yuan asked again: "There are old and young among the seventy-two people, do you know how many champions and how many young people are?" ”

Jiang Qin also went to school in the past, and he happened to hear about this article, and he said triumphantly: "There are five or six champions, and six or seven boys, but is it?" This one has to be difficult for the ignorant, how can it be difficult for me. ”

Wu Amaran covered his mouth and smiled: "You know this sentence, but how don't you know the next few sentences: bathing, dancing, singing, we came out today, just to go out in spring." ”

Jiang Qin was stunned, and he wanted to say it again, Zhou Tai was afraid that he would say something embarrassing, so he hurriedly pulled him away: "Okay, don't make trouble, the two of us are the new soldiers of the county, and what the axe gang is a joke, you go over and play, I think we should also go on the road." ”

Waiting for a few children to laugh and run away, Zhou Tai complained: "Gongyi, what are you doing, you are always suspicious, we can't stay in our hometown anymore, and finally someone takes it in, don't let people sweep you out again." ”

Jiang Qin smiled awkwardly, and was about to explain, Qiu Ming was already greeting and continuing to set off. Several people got back on their horses and galloped towards Wancheng again.

After that, Jiang Qin was obviously silent a lot, as if he was preoccupied, and Zhou Taifang had just played with the children for a while, but he was in good spirits and no longer sleepy.

After Nieyang, it entered the boundary of Wancheng, although there is no clear boundary card, but on the one hand, it is ten miles of green, the people are happy, on the other hand, the fields are barren, the road is hungry, and it is completely two worlds that are clearly distinguished. Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai didn't speak, a scene like Wancheng is the Han Dynasty they are familiar with, as for the appearance of Dengzhou as if it was a paradise on earth, maybe it was the wrong way to open it.

It's not the first time Qiuming has come to Wancheng, and even Wancheng can be regarded as his starting place, but today's Wancheng is obviously a little gloomy, it seems that as soon as Qin Jie dies, the whole city dies with him. Seeing that it was Tyuming who arrived, the soldiers guarding the gate immediately got out of the way, and did not even dare to ask.

Due to the proximity to the autumn market, Wancheng was also once beautiful, and the merchants and travelers who came from east to north often chose to settle in Wancheng before entering Dengzhou, and it was prosperous for a while. However, the good times did not last long, after Wen hired a hundred ironclad cavalry under the Bishui Pass, Dengzhou and Wancheng had a feud, and the autumn Ming strictly forbade the caravan with the autumn character flag to enter Wancheng again, and Wei Yan brought people to the city gate from time to time to show off his might, so Wancheng quickly declined, and almost all of them were exempted from the city gate tax, and there were not a few people who entered the city for a visit.

Because of this, when Xun You and his entourage from Luoyang lived in the largest inn in the city, the effect was simply sensational. After shedding tears about Qin Taishou's death, the officials hurriedly expressed their loyalty to the imperial court, and said that in the absence of Taishou, they would definitely do a good job in their own workstations and do a good job in every shift. Qin Taishou, you can go with peace of mind, we will definitely carry forward your unfinished business.

In between officials, all sorts of vendors from the city rushed to sell their wares, from preserved fruit and pastries to ready-to-wear furs. Xun You was kind to every merchant, and said with a smile: "Put it down, wait until I see if it's good or not." ”

This is a character from Beijing, and he is a high-ranking official, so he won't rely on this payment, right? The businessmen happily put down all the goods, sighing that this year's fortune was good, and they actually met such a big customer at the beginning of spring.

Although he accepted all the things, Xun Yu didn't give half of the copper plate, just like he also smiled at the gifts of those officials, but he didn't make half of the promises, and he didn't hear the slightest rumor. So some shrewd people began to suspect that this Huangmen squire wouldn't have come to Wancheng specifically to fight the autumn wind, right?

Xun You lived in the inn every day, occasionally went out for a walk, and came back on the same day, which made those who were worried that he would run away a little relieved. But suddenly, a guy in the inn let out the wind, saying that when Xun You first came, he was dressed and eaten, and asked the master of the store to change the way to make him delicacies from the mountains and seas, and then gradually began to eat vegetarian, saying that he wanted to change the taste, and then they could only find some green vegetable leaves to satisfy their hunger from top to bottom, from the master to the servants, not to mention how miserable, so they also owed the innkeeper half a month's room money, and the boss was thinking about how to blow them away decently.

Hearing the man's words, the whole city was boiling, and all the merchants hurried to the inn, begging Xun You to return their goods, or some silver at the cost price. Xun You still smiled and said: "I like your things very much, but recently this official has been a little inconvenient, and after a period of time, I will supply you one by one according to the price." ”

When Tyumen arrived at the inn, he saw such a situation, all the merchants sent people to watch the front and back doors of the inn, some people scolded, some people banged gongs and horns, and some people put up banners that read "Return my hard-earned money".
