Chapter 260: The more troublesome it gets

Wang Fulin slept until he woke up naturally. After opening his eyes and familiarizing himself with the place, he realized that it was not the cabin on the ship where he had stayed for several days, but the guest room of the hostel. As for the messy voices outside, he didn't bother to pay attention to them, covered his forehead and sobered up for a while, and then slowly sat up.

This is near Beixinguan, the room of the inn has always been nervous, so last night everyone was two people in a room, he lived with Yu Wen, the little guy played on the floor, but at this time he looked at the floor bunk, it had already been cleaned up neatly, obviously people got up early. He didn't know that he was sleeping too dead, and he didn't hear the movement, so he pulled his shoes and went down to the ground to dress.

When he opened the door, he found that the day was bright, and the courtyard was already lively, and the young men of the inn were shuttling between the rooms like butterflies wearing flowers, but they were not delivering food or things, but informing the market prices and buying and selling prices of various things. Only the young man of the inn had a sharp eye, and when he came out of a room, he caught a glimpse of him, and hastened to the front of him.

"This little official, the Zhao steward who came with you before said that he had already settled the account, and now he went to the dock to count the things and load the ship, if it is inconvenient for you to return to the city for a while, he will send someone to be a guide. The other three attendants got up early and went out to inquire about the news, saying that they would be back in a while. ”

Wang Fulin nodded, but couldn't help yawning: "What time is it?" ”

When the young man in the hostel met last night, he thought that Wang Fulin was the kind of scholar who came out to practice, and then he said with a smile on his face: "It's almost noon." ”

People who work in these years tend to get up before mid-hour. Even the county government is promoted to the hall at the same time. So Wang Fulin can't develop the habit of lying in bed at home. Because whether it is Jinbao Qiufeng, Wang Erniang or Wang Xiaomei, they are all people who get up on time. When he found that he slept until three o'clock in the morning today, his first reaction was to yawn again, and then lazily ordered: "That's right, let's eat breakfast and lunch together." Whatever it takes, send me some pieces to fill my stomach. ”

Sleeping until noon is a great way for guests staying at this kind of home that also has the function of dental travel. It's just too extravagant. Therefore, when he heard the movement at this time, he threw a lot of glances at Wang Fulin's side. Seeing that it was just a milky teenager, the merchants stopped paying attention and continued to talk about things. But the guy was informed, and he brought food and drink on a tray. Naturally, at this time, there will be no porridge and side dishes plus pastries and snacks, it is just a serious lunch, two dishes, a soup and a bowl of rice, not rich, but steaming.

Because I had a late-night snack last night. At this moment, Wang Fulin is not very hungry, and the skills of the chef here are really ordinary. It's far less than the restaurant that Steward Zhao took him down yesterday, so although there was no one to eat and drink, he just dealt with the soup and rice casually, but the two dishes didn't move much. was halfway through eating, and Yu Wen and Huo Zheng and Yang Tao all came back. He smiled and beckoned the three of them to sit down, and he was going to ask someone to add a few more dishes and three pairs of chopsticks, but he didn't want the three of them to shake their heads and say that they had eaten outside.

"I overslept, and I didn't expect to wake up with none of you. What is the big thing to go out early in the morning to find out the news? Steward Zhao said that he would call a guide to lead the way, did anyone come? ”

"The little officials slept soundly early in the morning, and they didn't dare to disturb us when we left. It's just right when you get up here, it's just noon, and you can eat two meals together. The guide sent by Steward Zhao also happened to have just arrived. Huo Zheng made a joke in his mouth, but after following Wang Fulin into the house, he fell behind and closed the door, blocking the sight of those who might be peeping.

"The little officials, they all heard someone shouting outside early in the morning, and the little one went out with Huo Ye and Yang Ye to inquire about the movement separately." It was Yu Wen who spoke first to explain, and seeing that Wang Fulin nodded and motioned for him to continue, he sorted out his thoughts and lowered his voice, "After we stayed in the hotel last night, something happened to Beixin Guan, and the eunuch at the tax customs seemed to have lost something, so I didn't know how to mobilize the people from the Hangzhou branch of Jinyiwei to sweep all the lines in the Hushu area." Among them, the two people we saw last night, Zhong Nanfeng and the leader of the other group of people, Boss Li, were arrested. ”

Beixinguan is set up in Hangzhou, the end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the amount of tax was not high, according to the rules, Beixinguan is under the management of the Nanjing household department, but since the imperial court has the system of sending eunuchs, Beixinguan is also inevitable to have an emperor. Hearing that Zhong Nanfeng, who was only beautiful last night, was also arrested, Wang Fulin only felt that he had just arrived in Hangzhou for less than a whole day, and the sudden change of the wind and clouds in the city and the change of the king's flag was really dizzying. Although this matter had nothing to do with him, he still decided to go back to the city first.

"In this case, let's go back to the city first, and meet up with Madame and the two young ladies."

Since it is the first time I have arrived in Hangzhou, I am careful!

When Wang Fulin hurried back to the city, the leaderless dragons outside the city had fallen into a commotion at this moment. Familiar forces exchanged opinions with each other, and some wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to replace the original leader, but more often fell into deep anger without being instigated. Early in the morning, someone went to Beixinguan to inquire about the situation, and learned that the tax eunuch Zhang Gonggong had no intention of letting people go at all, and Jinyiwei escorted people to Zhang Gonggong and left.

Especially Zhong Nanfeng's group of people, they have always been the only ones who look to the head, and the anger accumulated in their hearts has reached its peak. After the four of them connected in series, they learned that they were not the only ones who were arrested, so someone proposed to go to the tax customs to make trouble, which immediately attracted a lot of approval. So, dozens of people went to contact various places again, and in the early afternoon, a large group of short-beaten men with white scarves and heads blocked the entire Beixin Pass.

Yesterday he left the city in the evening, but he didn't come back until this afternoon, Wang Fulin's trip to the lake villa, even he felt that it was a long delay. Returning to the hostel in the city, which was bigger and more complete than any rest house in the Hushu area, Wang Fulin had no choice but to go and confess to Mrs. Su first, only to learn that Xiaobei, who had recovered his spirit early in the morning, had gone out to play around the city with Ye Mingyue under the guidance of a group of followers, and had just come back before him. Because the Ye family, who was supposed to pick up people, has not been seen yet, the sisters even discussed going to the West Lake with Mrs. Su tomorrow.

In the past, Hangzhou was a typical scenic spot in Wang Fulin's mind, rich and prosperous, and it was suitable for playing around, but last night he witnessed such a street fight, and listened to the grain merchant Luo Kang talk about the chaos in the southeast, and early in the morning I heard that the eunuchs in the hall had lost things, so he made a big move to clean up the streets.

"I didn't expect Hangzhou to become more and more chaotic." Mrs. Su frowned, and finally spoke, "Since the matter of the loss of things by the tax customs eunuch has not yet been resolved, let's not go to West Lake first, it doesn't matter if we walk around the city, don't go to Beiguan again, so as not to have a lot of trouble." ”

"When I came, there was still a depression outside Hangzhou, but I didn't expect it to be so lively as soon as the Japanese invaders disappeared." Xiaobei was a little regretful, but Wang Fulin just said that Zhong Nanfeng had beaten the Japanese Invaders, and she couldn't help muttering, "Is that guy who claims to have beaten the Japanese Invaders true or false?" Since he has so many people under him, the tax customs eunuch threw something and arrested him, did he even arrest his subordinates? These people have always been united, and they won't twist into a ball in anger and then go to make trouble in Beixinguan, right? ”

Ye Mingyue saw that Xiaobei was actually imaginative, and immediately asked Wang Fulin in detail about the brawl last night, and listened to it, she said to Mrs. Su thoughtfully: "Mother, those eunuchs in the Zhengde period were rampant in the world and arrogant, but since Jiajing, because of strict management, most of the eunuchs will be restrained. Otherwise, we don't have to wait for someone to pick it up, we will leave tomorrow, and the waterway from Hangzhou to Ningbo should arrive at the slowest in two or three days. ”

Wang Fulin also hoped that Mrs. Su's mother and daughter would go on the road as much as possible, seeing Mrs. Su groaning slightly, and finally nodded, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly went out to order someone to contact the passenger ship. Under this busyness, the evening soon came, and seeing that Steward Zhao had not come back, he couldn't help but be faintly worried, but thinking that it was an old Jianghu after all, and the name of the Cheng family was covered, how could the grain merchant and the snitch not be involved, so he would relax first. But everyone was having dinner in the room, and he was called over to the same table by Mrs. Su, and before he could finish the meal, there was a sudden knock on the door.

He hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, but saw that it was Steward Zhao standing outside the door with an angry face, and his clothes were dusty everywhere, as if he had rolled in the mud.

"Little official, something happened! Not to mention, there were also three to five hundred white scarves and Baotou in the middle of the line, who surrounded Beixinguan and demanded to release them. At that time, I happened to be loading a boat with that Luo Kang on the dock, and I almost suffered from the pond fish! Steward Zhao wiped his head with his sleeve as he spoke, and said with palpitations, "Although the soldiers and horses stationed at the tax customs were dispatched, they were beaten all over the head in three or two clicks, and then I heard that the people who were arrested in the cell did not know how, and actually held the arresting father-in-law Zhang hostage!" At this time, Beixinguan has changed owners! ”
