Chapter 27: The Jingshi Looks Far Away (4)
"Han Guanren......" He Si bowed his waist and accompanied him with a smiling face, "If you have any instructions, even if you mention it, although the small shop is a little shabby, there is still hot wine and hot food." ”
The subtle change in He Si's demeanor and tone, Han Gang saw it in his eyes, and knew that most of his identity was exposed. However, he didn't deliberately hide his identity, but it was freezing and the official uniform was too thin, so he had to change into a thick jacket.
Han Gang's coat. It is filled with the fluff of the wild goose's abdomen, washed with alkaline water, filled into the clothes, and then sewn vertically and horizontally with needles and threads into a lattice, which is basically the style of down jackets in later generations, which is much warmer than sheepskin, dog skin or fox skin.
In this era, cotton has not yet been promoted, and the cotton seeds that Han Gang asked people to find were only sent to Guwei some time ago. Winter clothes and bedding for civilian households, and the better ones mostly use silk cotton, that is, broken silk - the forbidden army will send a few taels as winter clothing fillers in the autumn - the poorer people are reeds. However, there are many people who use duck down and goose down, and in the northwest, there are not many ducks and geese, so yak down and goose down have become the first choice.
Under He Si's greeting, Han Gang and Li Xin sat down, and Li Xiaoliu stood at the table with the package, waiting for He Si to arrange the next room so that he could put down his luggage.
Without waiting for He Si's instructions, Xiao Jiu, who ran the hall, brought a pot of hot tea over and poured the tea diligently. Just looking at the foggy water vapor, you can feel a little warmth.
"I also invite the two officials to drink two sips to warm up, and wait for some hot wine and food, and the villain will find a way to make room for the officials." Offending guests is a big taboo in business, but He Si has no scruples now. There are several businessmen who occupy the room in the backyard, as the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials, and the businessmen are the most fearful of the government. With the help of official authority, it is not difficult for them to give up the room.
Han Gang knew what He Si was going to do, and he had no intention of stopping it. Whether it is bullying others or oppressing the people, in this era, officials can always get the best care. Han Gang had no intention of pretending to be high, giving up the room with a bed and a bunk, and sleeping on the table in the hall. No one will say that he is approachable and upright, but on the contrary, it is undignified for the court to impeach him.
poured tea for Han Gang and Li Xin, and He Si also poured a cup of hot tea for Li Xiaoliu, who was very good at doing business in all aspects. It's just that this small inn is really a little dilapidated, and even the tea is very bland, no different from white water, but it is enough to warm up. Dressed warmly, walking in the wind and snow for two hours, Han Gang and the three of them were frozen enough. Picking up the tea, Han Gang held the cup in both hands, and the heat from the porcelain cup warmed the frozen palm. Li Xin and Li Xiaoliu both took a few sips, and their faces suddenly improved a lot.
He Si instructed Xiao Jiu to serve the three of them well, and then ran to the kitchen. Sympathetic to the fatigue of running around all the way, Han Gang asked Li Xiaoliu to sit down as well. The three of them were tired today, and they didn't have the strength to speak for a while, so they quietly sipped tea. The other guests, who had just been disturbed by them, withdrew their curious gaze and returned to their tables.
In the corner of the quiet hall, the voices of the two military men at the next table became louder, "When will Du Yu wake up?" It's noon. ”
"Du Yu was hurt enough by that dog, he was so busy these days that he didn't even sleep well,"
"Can you really settle down? If you can't rush to Jingzhao Mansion tomorrow, you will have to be subject to military law. ”
"The horses have been robbed, and they have to use military law, and they don't bully people like this."
"The previous minister didn't treat us as people, and now the minister of Xuanfu treats us as dogs, and now the dogs have stepped on our heads, and even the stepmother is not as good as raising them!"
"We're fucking dogs. Mother-raised! ”
There was a bang, and I don't know who slammed the table hard, and Ding Ling's cup and plate fell to the ground. Han Gang casually turned his head and glanced at it, only to see several military men with indignant hatred on their faces.
Li Xin was silently drinking hot tea, but when he heard this, he raised his head and asked Han Gang in a low voice, "Guangrui?" ”
Han Gang nodded. Some time ago, in order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Fan cavalry under his command, the war horse of the Guangrui Army on Huanqing Road was taken away by Han Jiang and handed over to the Fan people. This incident caused a lot of uproar, and even the commanders of several cavalry armies on Gu Wei's side came to the pacification department to inquire about the news, for fear that Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu would follow suit.
However, since Han Jiang captured the war horses of the Guangrui Army, there has been no further news, and he has not heard that he has taken the war horses of other cavalry troops. Han Gang estimated that Han Jiang also knew that he was wrong, but what he did was irreparable, and he recaptured the war horse from the Fan people and returned it to the Guangrui army, and the result would only be worse, so he could only make the mistake go wrong, but this Liang Zike was settled.
Listening to the words of these Guangrui Army soldiers, they were indeed deeply resentful. Because of Li Fugui's vain killing of the general, Huanqing Lu's military spirit has been seriously injured, even if he has changed an envoy, it is useless, and Han Jiang's actions are even worse. When I heard about this some time ago, even Gao Zunyu was saying that if it was Shuzhong, maybe there would be a mutiny - because there were too many blood debts left when the Song Dynasty destroyed Shu, and since then, the number of rebellions among people from all walks of life in the world has been the largest in Shu. Wang Xiaobo, Li Shun and others don't need to be mentioned, there are even troops in Shuzhong who rebel because the uniforms issued are not as good as people, and the soldiers are resentful.
However, this has nothing to do with Qin Fenglu, and Sichuan is Sichuan, Shaanxi is Shaanxi, and the probability of a mutiny in the Western Army is not great. Han Gang was a little noisy when he heard it, and he just wanted to finish his meal early and arranged a room to rest.
He Si and Xiao Jiu ran in and out, and brought the wine and food with their hands and feet. Han Gang didn't order any food, they all served it themselves. There is a ban on beef; Pork is regarded as turbid meat, and it is not touched at all in the palace, and the rich and noble and eunuchs eat less. In this kind of roadside shop, apart from mutton or donkey meat, plus some pickles and cabbage for the winter, there are no other vegetables and vegetables.
And what was brought to Han Gang's table was a plate of donkey meat, a plate of mutton, all of which were selected from the finest meat, and three bowls of haggis soup. There are also two jugs of freshly scalded hot wine.
After the tea in this small shop, Han Gang didn't have any expectations for the wine and food here. But to his surprise, both the wine and the meat were better than he expected. Especially the wine, which is not mixed with a little water, and is sifted, poured into the glass is clear and clear, and the aroma of the wine is overflowing. When you drink it in your stomach, you feel no worse than the famous wine of Hezhi and Meishou. After a cup of belly, even Li Xin nodded his head and praised the taste of the wine and food.
There was a thud from behind Han Gang. A stout military man slammed his fist on the table and yelled at He Si: "Your dog has just grown a pair of snobs, and the wine you give to a few birds is good wine, but the wine you give to your grandfather can fade out of the birds!" I don't think grandpa has the money to pay the bills, right?! ”
He Si's face changed, and he hurriedly shook his hand, "Guest officer, you are wronged......
But the military man didn't want to listen to He Si's explanation, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he pulled him over. Glaring at He Si face to face, the vinegar bowl raised his big fist: "What is wronged?" Grandpa is easy to talk to, but this fist is not easy to talk! Don't bring grandpa the same wine on the table with a few birdmen! ”
He Si mixed water into other people's wine, which was a self-inflicted sin. But when he was scolded on the head, Li Xin's face turned pale, his fists were clenched, and he was about to stand up, but Han Gang suppressed his hand.
Han Gang looked at the appearance of the military man who jumped up with his eyebrows raised, and it was clear that he was a drunk ruffian, and the others should be similar. They all sat together and complained, and if there was a conflict with them, it was not impossible for them to come up together and do something with the same hatred. When you go out, you must avoid three points in everything. The place was wrong right now, and Han Gang definitely didn't want to fight with these soldiers. The son of a daughter, he can't sit down, anyway, he has the opportunity and means to get face back.
Han Gang smiled and was about to speak. A shout of rage rang out. "Lin Gui! What are you doing!? "I followed the prestige, but I saw a middle-aged soldier standing at the small door leading to the backyard.
"Du Yu!" The big man who was called Lin Gui screamed and quickly let go of his hand. He Si was lucky to get out, so he covered his throat with his hand, bent over and coughed.
The middle-aged soldier strode over, and the red guys at both tables all stood up, looking a little prestigious. He was probably in his thirties, and his sturdy figure looked very heroic. He asked the reason for the matter in a few words, and when he turned back, he apologized to Han Gang, and said politely, "In Xia Ning, the Guangrui Army, Yu Marquis Wu Kui, my brothers are reckless, and they collide with Brother Tai. I also hope that there are a lot of brothers, don't worry about them. ”
"Du Yu! ……”
Lin Gui still wanted to argue, but Wu Kui glared back, "Shut up, see what you guys are doing!" ”
Pizhou and Ningzhou are all under the jurisdiction of Huanqing Road, and it is indeed the Guangrui Army that has been robbed of war horses. Han Gang smiled slightly, and face was given to each other. Wu Kui lowered his head, he also had to give people steps down, "Drinking gaffes is not a big deal." Since everyone thinks my wine is good, I'll invite you to drink two glasses. Shopkeeper, take a few more jars of wine, and count them in my account. ”
Wu Kui is a loose character, and he didn't find anything wrong with Han Gang still sitting peacefully after he reported his identity. Seeing that Han Gang was doing things happily, he smiled and pulled a chair over, about to talk to Han Gang.
But at this time, there was another knock on the door, Kuang Kuang, as if someone was kicking the door.
He Si hurriedly ran over to open the door, and as soon as the door opened, seven or eight military men poured in with the wind and snow. They weren't as peaceful as when Han Gang came in, and the leader kicked away He Si who was blocking the way first, and stood in the hall and said loudly: "My general is going to stay in the hotel today, and the people inside will let all the rooms out!" ”
The arrogant words caused a commotion, but a dozen more people came in from the gate, surrounding a large man nearly seven feet tall. Looking at the appearance of the big man, he is a standard Fan, but he is dressed as a military minister with an official body.
Wu Kui's face changed suddenly, and he shouted in a low hateful voice: "Wang Wenliang!?" ”
Wang Wenliang...... Han Gang's heart moved, this seems to be the name of the general who took the war horse of the Guangrui Army?
After Wang Wenliang came in, his eyes swept over the hall, and when he saw Wu Kui, he froze, and then laughed again in a blink of an eye, "Isn't this Wu Duyu?" Are you done? ”
Wu Kui's face sank completely, he gritted his teeth, and the cheeks on both sides were tense: "This official wants to return to business, either Wang Jingliu or Han Xuanfu, and it is not your turn to speak." ”
"Your mouth is really hard...... Wang Wenliang gritted his teeth and smiled: "Xuanfu Xianggong is obedient to my words." If I want to say that this is all the fine work of the north, Xuanfu Xianggong can cut off all their heads. ”
The guests in the hall shouted angrily when they heard this, and they were also flexible enough to pay for peace.
"Really?" A cold voice came from behind Wu Kui, "I don't think you have this ability!" ”
