Chapter 394: Arriving in the capital
"And the two of you are different, if this merit belongs to you, you may not be able to go further with this merit, but it will always lay the foundation for future promotion, and this merit is within the scope of your duties, and there will be no trouble if you take it, and it will not be tolerated! Moreover, it is Li Ge Lao who appreciates you, if you have this credit, it will also deepen his impression of you, and when the time comes, Jane will always have a chance in the heart of the old man! As he spoke, Ming Zhongxin glanced at the two of them deeply. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Hearing that Jane was in the pavilion, the two of them were tempted, yes! Before, the two of them were just worried about this achievement, but they didn't expect that this time Ming Zhongxin was going to the capital, if you remind two sentences in front of the elder, the current situation is turbulent, and the officials move up and down frequently, and then maybe which opportunity will be their turn, although the elder will not always hang himself in his heart, but there is always a chance!
"Okay, since Brother Ming said so, then Ma Liang will accept this gift with the cheekiness!" Ma Liang is no longer entangled, since Ming Zhongxin has already said this, it would be a bit hypocritical to excuse himself, and it is a big deal to return Ming Zhongxin's favor in the future!
My mom, I finally agreed, convincing people is really a tiring job! Ming Zhongxin secretly wiped the cold sweat.
"Come and drink this cup, let's thank you Brother Ming!" Takeo raised his glass and said.
"Good!" Ma Liang rose in response.
The three of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and they were happy.
"Brother Wu, little brother has one more thing to ask for here! I don't know if to talk about it or not? Ming Zhongxin raised his glass to Takeo and said.
"Brother Ming, if you have anything to say, as long as someone Wu can do it, you must do your best!" Takeo is heroic and authentic.
"Then the little brother will do it first as a respect!" As he spoke, Ming Zhongxin tilted his neck and drank all the wine in the cup.
Of course, Takeo will not be left behind, and he will drink it all.
"Although all the remnants of the Maitreya Society in Jinan Mansion have been captured this time, the younger brother is afraid that there will be twists and turns. Moreover, the younger brother went to the capital this time, and he didn't know when he would be able to return to Ling County, and he hoped that Brother Wu would take more care of the Ming family. ”
"No problem, it's wrapped up in Brother Wei, as long as Brother Wei is in Jinan Mansion for a day, Jinyi Wei will have someone to take care of Ming Mansion in Ling County!" Takeo patted his chest and said.
"Okay, then let's drink this cup again!" Ming Zhongxin finally completed his last step of planning, although he wanted Ma Liang to take care of him, but Ma Liang's identity is different, after all, it is not as appropriate as Takeo, just when he met Takeo this time, he is really a good candidate sent by God, how can he not use it! And now that the credit is given to him, it is even more convenient!
"Teaching, everything is ready! There are Jinyi guards who come to see Master Wu. Zhao Mingxing returned.
"Tell Jinyiwei to camp in place, watch the bandits, and leave tomorrow, I will stay here today, and I won't go back." Takeo shouted.
Outside the tent, someone shouted yes and hurried away.
"Mingxing, settle the guards brought by the horse commander. As for everyone, it's been a tired day, so let's rest according to the past warning, and go straight to Texas tomorrow! Ming Zhongxin commanded.
Zhao Mingxing left in response.
This is the end of the day.
And Ming, Ma, and Wu drank in the dark and didn't wake up.
In the early morning, although Takeo had a splitting headache, he insisted on leaving, saying that the bandits were in hand, and he was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so he would say goodbye.
After Takeo left, Ming Zhongxin and Ma Liang reorganized their men and horses and went straight to Texas.
When I arrived in Texas, it was arranged by Ma Liang, and all the affairs were arranged quickly and conveniently, and it only took an hour for everything to be done.
The group entered the boat to rest, and Ma Liang and Ming Zhongxin stood at the bow of the boat and said goodbye to each other.
Along the way, there was nothing else except for the students who took the boat for the first time and vomited in the dark, and Ming Zhongxin took medicine to treat them from time to time.
When passing through Tianjin Wei, Ming Zhongxin looked at Tianjin Wei from afar, thinking in his heart, Li Dongyang and others were only afraid that they had left Tianjin Wei and returned to the capital! I sighed in my heart, I was afraid that this Tianjin Wei was the blessed land where he originated in the capital!
It was here that I got acquainted with Zhang Yanling, rescued Liu Lao, and planned the development of the Ming family in the capital.
No matter how Ming Zhongxin feels, the ship will not wait for anyone after all.
A few days later, the group came to Zhangjiawan Town, Tongzhou by boat.
Here, it is the boundary of "Beijing" Shuntianfu.
Zhangjiawan Town, Tongzhou, is located about 60 miles southeast of Shuntianfu, Jingshi, and about 15 miles away from Tongzhou City.
Because the four rivers of Lu River (Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal North), Liangshui River, Empress Dowager Xiao River and Tonghui River converge here, like five fingers separated, Zhangjiawan is located in the palm of the hand, so it is an important wharf on land and water.
Salt and rice business travel, tribute from all countries, and official and civilian boat voyages are all gathered here.
Their ships entered the North Canal through Tianjin Weihou and stopped sailing at Zhangjiawan, awaiting inspection and inventory by the Wanhu Prefecture before being released into Tongzhou.
The students were enthusiastic and active, swept away the previous posture of vomiting, and looked at Ming Zhongxin curiously, hoping that Ming Zhongxin would let them go ashore to visit, however, Ming Zhongxin could not let them go, because they were not familiar with the place, and they did not want to have any more trouble.
When everyone heard this, they all understood Ming Zhongxin's worries, and they stopped making noise and quietly observed everything in Zhangjiazhen on the boat.
The sergeant of the inspection department was under the leadership of a captain to check one by one, and the merchant travelers lined up in front of their ship talked with the captain with a smile on their faces from time to time, and from time to time reached out to the sergeant next to the captain to secretly hand over some silver taels, and those merchant travelers were quickly let go after doing this work, nodding and leaving.
This is normal, after all, the king of Hades is good-looking, the little ghost is difficult, and it is necessary to go out and do something, otherwise it is really difficult for someone to encounter it, it is really called every day, and the earth is not spiritual!
Ming Zhongxin saw this scene in his eyes, and he knew it in his heart, and he didn't care about it, after all, this is the way to survive, and there is nothing to blame.
The Wu Pavilion Lord, who was standing at the hatch of the big ship, made a look, and the Wu Pavilion Lord came to the front, Ming Zhongxin gave an order, and the Wu Pavilion Lord said that he understood.
Finally, it was the turn to inspect and count the ship they were on.
But I saw the sergeants of the inspection department stepping forward one by one, and the captain of the boat accompanied him with a smiling face.
However, in Ming Zhongxin's divine sense, the ship elder flashed an unexpected light in his eyes, and he glanced at the captain and nodded vaguely.
Mingzhong sighed in confidence, it's broken, I'm afraid that there is something wrong with the boss of this ship!
At this time, the Pavilion Master of Wu accompanied the smiling face to talk to the captain like a business traveler, and also gave the money to the people around the captain.
However, an incredible scene emerged.
The captain gave an order, and the sergeants directly stepped forward and tied up the Wu Pavilion Master.
"What do you mean by that? Captain Li, Captain Li, these are the first time to come to the capital, I don't know the rules, you have a lot of adults, please look at the face of the villain, accommodating! Seeing this, the captain nodded and stepped forward to intercede with the captain.
"Wang Er! It's not that I don't give you face, there may be a problem with this group of people, otherwise how could they bribe me when they came to the capital for the first time, wait for the sergeant to check, if there is no problem, I will sell you face and let this group of people go on the road earlier. "The captain is serious.
"This?" The ship's boss, Wang Er, looked embarrassed, and Chong Ming CITIC spread his hands, saying that he could not do anything.
Mingzhong sneered in confidence, the boss of the boat kept asking the students about this and that along the way, and thoroughly touched the bottom of himself and the others, knowing that it was the first time for him and the others to go to the capital, he became more attentive.
At that time, Ming Zhongxin felt that something was wrong and was vigilant, but along the way, the wind and waves were calm, and there was no situation.
It seems that today is only afraid of difficulties!
And the business travelers next to them cast sympathetic glances from time to time, obviously, they must know that there is something wrong with this, but they can't help each other with a slight amount of manpower, so they can only take care of themselves.
The excited students of Ming Zhong Xinchong made a look and let them calm down for a while.
Then, he watched coldly to see what the sergeants of the inspection division had.
But I saw that the sergeants were like wolves and tigers, and turned the salute arranged by Ming Zhongxin and others on the boat upside down.
Finally, in the salute of Ming Zhongxin, he found the glass cup and the glass bottle, and the captain of the ship and the captain had bright eyes, staring greedily at these glass products.
Ming Zhongxin regretted it for a while, that day, after drinking with Na Wuxiong and Ma Liang, he was afraid that he would have to entertain Ma Liang in Texas, so he didn't put it back in the storage bag, and he also used it a few times on the boat with Ming Zhongyuan and others, but he never wanted to be seen by the boss of the ship, and there was such a disaster! It seems that I have gone too smoothly during this time, and I am really careless!
However, if you want these, then you are not afraid, you can send them to them, as long as you and others arrive in the capital safely, it is better than anything!
But after those sergeants found the glass cup and the glass bottle, they were about to send it to the captain as if they were offering treasures.
No, you have to come forward yourself! Ming Zhongxin stepped forward and came to Captain Li and said, "Captain Li, right!" ”
"Hmm!" Captain Li glanced at Ming Zhongxin.
Ming Zhongxin took out an object from his sleeve and handed it to Captain Li.
"What are you doing? Still want to bribe me? Captain Li glared and shouted.
"Please also ask Captain Li to see clearly!" Ming Zhongxin said indifferently.
Captain Li looked at the thing in his hand suspiciously, hey, isn't this Lu Yin?
Ming Zhongxin pointed the way, "Please see clearly!" ”
"Xiucai!" Captain Li took a closer look, and his heart tightened, but then he looked, oh, it turned out to be a Xiucai from Jinan Mansion!
Cut! What kind of thing is this, I thought it was a talent from Jingshi! Taken aback! Captain Li said disdainfully.
When Ming Zhongxin saw this situation, his heart tightened, it seems that his identity as a talent is not very useful, this Captain Li has made up his mind to ask for these things! That's it, just give it to him! As long as everyone is intact and goes to the capital.
At this time, the sergeant had already presented the glass products.
Captain Li forced his composure, took the glass cup and pretended to inspect it, raised his head and shouted, "This thing is stolen goods, and these thieves have been escorted back!" ”
The sergeants were in a hurry.
