In the dozen or so large houses in the front yard of the post station, a few piles of firewood are burning, and the dilapidated houses blow cold and biting cold winds from time to time, but the soldiers of the guards Sima Jun have a very good way, pull out the straw mats on the bed and hang them to block the broken gaps, and spread thick hay on the ground, everyone lies on the hay, enjoying the warm bonfire, and it is very warm and comfortable for a while.

This is a group of old soldiers who are used to enjoying it, and there are some ways to enter the home of the soldiers of the Guard Division, and it is their specialty to ride a horse to show off their power on weekdays, and there are very few real errands to do, and everyone still has some freshness when they set off.

But after a few days of eating and sleeping in the open, these old soldiers were exhausted, and the cold wind in the wilderness was like knives, blowing their pampered skin tightly on their faces, and it was extremely uncomfortable; The long ride also made their thighs burn and hurt.

Lying on the hay, everyone pulled down their pants and dipped their fingers in saliva to foam at the red and swollen areas, which was said to relieve the pain; In this case, pointing at each other's lower body thickness and length is indispensable, and voyeurism and teasing each other is also the best medicine to eliminate fatigue; The topic unconsciously turned to the little ladies in the green building in the capital, and everyone imagined it to the fullest, teasing each other's old friends, and at the moment they didn't know which dirty and ugly old man they were lying in, and moaned tactfully, this kind of topic brought mutual abuse and ridicule.

When the atmosphere was warm, the door of the house was pushed open, and a cold wind poured in, blowing the bonfire to dance wildly from side to side, and the soldiers were also shivering from the cold, and someone scolded: "Who the hell is so lacking in morality, running in and out in the middle of the night, is this a lost soul?" ”

The person who came in closed the door with his backhand, walked out of the shadows with a smile and said, "Zhao Dutou is so angry, it's only been a few days since he came out, and he has been holding back his stomach for a while?" Don't worry, when you get to Luzhou, find a kiln and clear the warehouse at once, the province will make you feel angry. ”

When Zhao Dutou heard the voice, he hurriedly got up and saluted: "Oh, it turned out to be the commander of the dragon, look at my eyes, I should really pick out and feed the dog." ”

As soon as the soldiers saw that it was Long Zhen who came in, they all learned that they were crawling up, Long Zhen smiled and stretched out his hand to pat it, and said: "Lie down, don't get up, this is the rest time, no need to be polite." ”

Zhao Dutou was busy with a handful of hay next to the bonfire and said: "General Long, sit down, roast the fire, why didn't you sleep so late, you won't be like us without a girl and can't sleep." ”

Long Zhen sat on the grass, stretched out his hand to roast the fire and said, "How can I have you as hot as you?" You're almost forty years old, have you compared to you twenty or thirty-year-old boys? I'm here to pay you silver, and I've been carrying it with me for a few days, it's weird, I was going to send it to everyone in Luzhou, but it's a matter of time or time, so I'll send it. ”

After saying that, he shouted to the back, "Take it." Only then did everyone realize that there were two dragon commanders' guards who came in at the same time, and the two of them each carried a cloth bag and threw it heavily to the fire.

Long Zhen said: "Zhao Dutou, Fang Dutou, the two of you come to take it and distribute it to everyone, each person is always five, and you are two and two." ”

Everyone suddenly thundered with joy, Zhao Dutou and Fang Dutou came forward happily and carried a cloth bag to distribute it one by one, the soldiers laughed and laughed continuously, and there was a humanitarian: "Sure enough, there are benefits, our hard work is not in vain, although it is comfortable in the capital, the salary is only 800 Wen, which is not enough to go to the kiln to put two cannons, this out, it has doubled all of a sudden." ”

Another said: "This is really a lot of water, thanks to the dragon commander who gave me and other brothers the opportunity to make a fortune, we should all be filial piety to the dragon commander." ”

The other soldiers chimed in: "Yes, yes, we can't pretend to be stupid, each of us will take out fifty Wen to honor the commander, and when we arrive in Luzhou, teach the commander to find the most beautiful girl to serve well." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, find an Oiran lady who can play and sing, and play the flute, so that the conductor can enjoy it."

Everyone burst into laughter, and some people spontaneously got up and scraped together the money.

Unexpectedly, Long Zhen's face was gloomy and he seemed to be very unhappy, Zhao Dutou leaned into Long Zhen's ear and said, "What's wrong?" Is there too little to command? Or the subordinates told them to make up a hundred wen each. ”

Long Zhen sighed, the expression on his face was extremely self-reproachful, and everyone didn't know what was going on, so they stopped laughing and looked at Long Zhen.

Long Zhen slowly raised his head, and said in a dry voice: "Brothers, my dragon is really incompetent." ”

"Commander, where do you start?" Everyone looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of the words.

"Do you think that this is a month's worth of silver? That's three months' salary. "Long Zhen is weak.

"What?"

"What?"

"Just kidding, three months?"

"Less than in the capital?"

"What a errand for this grandma."

"That's it, what do you think of you, mules and horses?"

The soldiers were shouting and scolding one after another, and some people excitedly threw the money on the ground, shouting and scolding for not doing it, and the crowd was excited for a while.

Long Zhen waited for everyone's scolding to stop a little, and then got up and picked up all the copper coin strings that were thrown on the ground, dried the dust on them, removed the grass clippings on them, and put them into the arms of the soldiers. Then he straightened up and stood by the fire and looked around, and everyone looked at him silently, knowing that he had something to say, and they were also trying to hear Long Zhen's explanation.

"Brothers, don't worry, and listen to me, originally the amount of money that the privy envoy told me on this trip was a monthly amount, and after the errand was over, he returned to Beijing and received a subsidy of 500 wen, which is exactly five a month; But tonight the envoy called me to drink and talk, and then gave me the money, and I counted that I was missing 500 wen a month, and I was willing to give up, so I reasoned with him, and who knew that he said, the 500 wen money was used as a greeting gift for the brothers to honor him, and told me not to say much, but to bring it and give it to everyone. ”

Long Zhen's tone was painful, and he looked extremely sad and angry.

"What kind of bird food envoy, fuck it, this errand told him to do it himself."

"Yes, yes, who of us knows him as a stinky food envoy, what a broken official, he also came to ask grandpa to be honored, let's go back to the capital, let his mother do this errand by herself."

Long Zhen stretched out his hand to stop everyone and said, "Brothers, don't be impulsive, what if you go back to the capital?" This is the emperor's errand, if you don't do an errand, you will be arrested by the Privy Council and cut off your head, for these hundreds of papers, is it worth it? ”

Someone said loudly: "Commander Long, why don't you fight with reason?" Our brother was brought out of Beijing by you, so we naturally listen to you, you should have a good talk with the bird envoy who has no hair, and give him some color. ”

Long Zhen said angrily: "Didn't you say it to me? Lao Tzu almost got into a fight with him, but do you know who he is? He is the person who is highly recommended by the third envoy Yan Shu, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, let's be impulsive, how to deal with it after returning to the capital? ”

Zhao Dutou said: "Could it be that we just swallow this breath?" Five hundred wen per person, three months is always five, our two hundred brothers are three hundred yuan, this thief's eyes are really black, and he deducted so much of us with a single move,. His grandmother's, the money was enough to buy a coffin for his whole family. ”

Long Zhen said: "No wonder he rushed to go to the household department to receive the silver, originally I did all these things, but he ran away in a hurry, it turned out that it was for this." ”

Fang Dutou said loudly: "Let me say, let's go back to Beijing together, the law does not blame the public, let's make all the things clear to the Privy Council, deducting military salaries is a big crime, I don't believe that with Yan Shu's support, no one can cure him." ”

Everyone said: "Yes, yes, let's go together, afraid of him?" Let's take care of it. ”

Long Zhen spread his hands and said, "What about the evidence?" Proof. ”

Fang Dutou said: "Isn't this money evidence?" ”

Long Zhen said disdainfully: "This is also evidence, people bite back and say that you spent the money and came to mess around, do you still want to do it?" ”

Zhao Dutou said: "Didn't you write the number when you received the money?" ”

Long Zhen said: "This guy has an amazing amount of wine, I was poured more than a dozen cups by him, and I signed it in a daze, and then I looked at it and found that the number was the number that should be sent." ”

Everyone was stunned, they wanted to scold but didn't dare to scold, and they stomped their feet.

Fang Dutou said: "Brothers, don't blame Long Dutou, you think, even if Long Dutou is sober, the thief wants to command the adult to sign, can he not sign?" ”

Everyone was silent, the official level crushed people to death, and the commander was here to assist the Su envoy on an errand, and this envoy was personally appointed by the emperor, which was not something that could be offended casually.

"Are we just going to eat dumb and lose and swallow it in our stomachs?" Everyone jumped to their feet, but there was nothing they could do.

Long Zhen said: "Do you brothers really want to say this? ”

Everyone said: "Then is there a fake? We can't let this kid be bullied. ”

Long Zhen said: "If you brothers really want to come up with this breath, I have a way." ”

Everyone hurriedly gathered around and listened attentively to where Long Zhen's plan came from.
