Chapter 417 Escort.

Two days after the inkstone competition, Hua Lang and Bao Zheng were a little bored, and it was the fifth day of the eighth month.

In the past two days, Hua Lang has not heard any news from Lin Xian'er, of course, if a man is no longer ready to accept a woman's love, then what does her news have to do with him?

It's just that at noon on the fifth day of the eighth month, when the sun was just right and the autumn wind was still cold, Liu Yi came.

Liu Yi opened a dart game in Duanzhou City, although the business is not very good, but it is always possible to barely make a living, and the dart game, popularity and prestige are slowly accumulated, and now Liu Yi is less than twenty years old, polish it well, he will be able to do a career one day.

It's just that at this time today, why did Liu Yi come to Hualang?

After everyone sat down in the detective agency, Wen Meng went into the kitchen and brought the wine, and after a while, Hua Wan'er also served a few side dishes, at this time, Hua Lang looked at Liu Yi and asked, "Brother Liu came this time, is there anything to say?" ”

Liu Yi was a little embarrassed, but he still nodded, and said: "That's true, yesterday Tang Wanli from Tang Fengzhai came to me and said that he wanted me to help him transport a batch of inkstones into Beijing, and he gave him a very high reward, so I agreed." ”

Hua Lang nodded after listening, he had already thought of this, Tang Wanli bought a lot of good inkstones, if you want to present them to the emperor, you will naturally have to send someone to transport them, just to transport the inkstones, they are not good at these businessmen, and they will naturally find the dart game after the most Lu.

"This is a good thing, could it be that Brother Liu is here to say goodbye?"

Liu Yi smiled and said, "Farewell is one of them, and there is another thing, I want to bother Brother Hua to help." ”

Hua Lang bowed his head slightly and said, "What is it, you can tell it and listen to it." ”

Liu Yi was not polite, and said directly: "It will take at least a month to go to the capital, the journey is difficult, and it is inevitable to encounter robbers, of course, I am not afraid of the range of power in Jiangnan, but it is not easy to say in other places, I heard that the imperial court Duanyan will also enter Beijing in the next few days, and they are escorted by the van soldiers, so I thought, can I follow them to the capital together." ”

As soon as Liu Yi said this, his purpose Hualang understood everything, although the strength of the box soldiers was not very strong, but they were the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, no matter how bold anyone was, he would not dare to blatantly rob the tribute Duan Yan, Liu Yihu fake Huwei followed behind, and no one dared to touch him.

And Hua Lang has a good relationship with Bao Zheng and You Dan, the commander of the Xiang soldiers, if he goes to intercede, this matter will inevitably be decided.

Hua Lang drank a glass of wine, thought for a moment, and said, "This matter is easy to do, leave it to my brother!" ”

When Liu Yi heard this, he immediately became overjoyed, poured a full glass of wine and drank it all, and said, "Thank you, Brother Hua!" ”

After drinking like this for an hour, Liu Yi left, and Hua Lang hurried to the state government to inform Bao Zheng of the matter, Bao Zheng listened to Hua Lang's words, and had some doubts, after all, officials are officials, and private are private, how can they be mixed up!

Hua Lang saw Bao Zheng hesitate, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Liu Yi's men are all good, if the soldiers encounter any trouble on the road, they can also help, besides, Liu Yiyun's inkstone is also dedicated to the emperor, all for the emperor, is it possible that Brother Bao can't bear to see Liu Yi's batch of inkstones robbed halfway?" ”

Hua Lang's words have a certain basis, because before coming, Hua Lang had already inquired clearly, every year a large part of the inkstone dedicated to the emperor by the people will be targeted by robbers, so many people in the folk have suffered a lot of losses, even the emperor, there are also a lot of losses, Bao Zheng is the governor of Duanzhou, I don't want to look at his people in trouble and not stretch out his hand, right?

After listening to Hua Lang's words, Bao Zheng had to nod, and then said: "Tomorrow You Dan will pack the inkstone and transport it to the Duanzhou Prefecture Ya, and after I finish counting, I will leave for Beijing early the day after tomorrow, you tell Liu Yi to let him pull the goods to wait at the gate of the Duanzhou Prefecture Yamen the day after tomorrow!" ”

Seeing that it was done, Hua Lang thanked him again and again, and then hurriedly left the state government to go to Liu Yi's dart bureau and informed Liu Yi of the matter, and Liu Yi thanked Hua Lang for his kindness, so it was another meal and drink.

In the evening, Hua Lang returned to the detective agency from Liu Yi's dart bureau, and after he informed Yin Wuxian and Wen Meng of the incident, they each rested, after all, the rest of the matter had nothing to do with them.

Early the next morning, Hua Lang just got up and was about to wash, the door of the detective agency was suddenly pushed open, which scared Hua Lang, he had never encountered a person who entered the house without knocking on the door but pushed it directly, Hua Lang rushed out of the room, and then saw You Dan walking in from the door, he shouted as he walked: "Brother Hua, hurry up and come out to greet!" ”

This is said as if he has a big face, but when Hua Lang saw that it was You Dan, he was relieved, it is normal for friends to say this kind of thing, and You Dan is a military general, he doesn't like to beat around the corner, he comes when he comes, and he shouts when he shouts.

Hua Lang wiped his wet hands and said with a smile: "Brother You is here, I am really shining here, but Brother You escorted the inkstone into the Duanzhou Prefecture, how could he come to my detective agency?" ”

You Dan Ha Lu Ha smiled, shook the things in his hand in front of his eyes, and said: "I have already let my subordinates transport the inkstone to the state government, Lord Bao is liquidating, I am here to find Brother Hua to drink." ”

At this time, Hua Lang noticed the things in You Dan's hand, a pot of wine, a roast chicken, and a roast duck.

Drinking wine and eating meat so early on the day made Hua Lang really a little unaccustomed, but Hua Lang has never been good at refusing the invitation of a friend, so he shouted and said, "Okay, Brother You, please!" ”

After coming to the living room, Yin Wuxian and the others also sat down one after another, Wen Meng and Hua Wan'er had to get some more wine, and then make some meals, if they could, they had to cook a bowl of sobering soup for each of them, today has just begun, and I don't know how many things can happen in the day, if they start to get drunk in the morning, wouldn't it be a bad thing.

A few men sat down here, and You Dan raised his glass and said: "Brother Hua's intelligence is admired, and Brother Yin's martial arts are also admired, so I will do this glass of wine first!" ”

After that, without waiting for Hua Lang and the others to be modest, You Dan drank all the wine in the cup, Hua Lang and Yin Wu saw You Dan like this, what else could they say there, they had to drink cup after cup.

The wine is very fragrant, the roast chicken and duck are also very fragrant, a few people eat and drink for half an hour, and after half an hour, everyone is drunk, at this time, Hua Lang said: "Brother You is busy, let's drink this wine here today." ”
